Parmer County History/Timeline
Bovina, Parmer, Tx .
1876 Parmer County was formed by the Texas legislature from lands formerly assigned to the Bexar District. and organized 1907[1]
Parmer County is a county located in the southwestern Texas Panhandle on the high plains of the Llano Estacado in the U.S. state of Texas. The county seat is Farwell. The county was created in 1876 and later organized in 1907. It is named in honor of Martin Parmer, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence and early judge. Parmer County is one of 10 prohibition, or entirely dry, counties in the state of Texas[2]
1700 Kiowas and comanches pushed out the Apaches who had been there prior to thisoccupied the Panhandle-Plains until they were pushed out around 1700 by the Kiowas and Comanches.
1787 -José Mares expedition from Santa Fe to San Antonio crossed the northeastern corner of the county.[3]
1874-75 Native Americans who ruled the Texas High Plains between 1700 and the end of the Red River War in 1874. After their defeat and removal to Indian Territory, the Parmer County region was opened for white settlement.[3]
1876 Parmer County was established by the Texas legislature from lands formerly assigned to the Bexar District. [3]
Prior 1882 no settlement here[3]
1890 population of seven grew to 34 by 1900 with ranching as predominate source of income. [3]According to the United States agricultural census for 1900, the XIT Ranch (the only ranch in the area at the time) extended across 150,000 acres of Parmer County land.[3]
1890's Pecos and Northern Texas Railway Company built a 95-mile branch line from Amarillo to the Texas-New Mexico border. On this line, which was eventually to run from Amarillo to the Santa Fe main line in Belen, New Mexico, grew several communities in Parmer County.[3]
1898 Parmerton appeared Capitol Syndicate townsite, while Black, Friona, and Bovina appeared the same year as switches and townsites on the line. [3]
1904 Farwell, established in 1904 and surveyed in 1905, Capitol Syndicate townsite, while Black, Friona, and Bovina appeared the same year as switches and townsites on the line. [3]
Farwell grew while real estate developers continued to parcel off XIT lands and attract more settlers.
1913 the Pecos and Northern Texas Railway built a branch line from Farwell to Lubbock to complement its earlier line to Amarillo. [3]
1917 A permanent courthouse was erected in 1917. [2]
1920 there were 212 farms and ranches in the county; about 15,000 acres was planted in sorghum that year, along with 1,300 acres of corn and 5,370 acres of wheat. Population of the county rose to(1,555 by 1910) and to (1,699 in 1920)
Mid 1920's there were utilities and water, by 1930. population of 1,250. [2]
early 1920s State Road 9now U.S. Hwy 60) linked Farwell to Amarillo via Bovina, Frinona, hereford, and Canyon. It was a crude graded road and one similar to a track (later U.S. Highway 84) tied Farwell to Lubbock via Muleshoe and Littlefield.
1930s Again the town voted to incorporate, there was a volunteer fire department. The primitive dirt- surfaced farm and ranch roads eventually were paved.Roads these routes were paved, and the primitive system grew to include dirt-surfaced farm and ranch roads. County growth continued through the Great Depression.[3] [2]
1950- population of 1,250, the town voted once again to incorporate and established a mayor-commission government organized.
1960's development of a large cattle feedlot industry in the county contributed to the county's growth
1963 - the last 39 acres of XIT Ranch land in Farwell sold.[2]
1967 Farwell supported more than ninety businesses. The annual ç held the last weekend in July. The population in Farwell increased to(1,374 in 2000).[2][3]
Land for a NEW Capitol!
When reading of Charles Goodnight, the Chisolm Trail or Richard King's ranch, one thinks of cattle and land of the 1800's. The Texas legislature thought of what they could do with all of its land. Here were the descendants of theTexas settlers who fought for the independence wondering just how they could pay all of its bills. The Republic of Texas had no money, but had previously rewarded the fallen heroes with land bounties. Still no money coming in. By 1875 Texas needed a new capitol building, but it was short on cash as it had been for 40 years.. Why not do a GREAT BARTER? Wikipedia:XIT Ranch , XIT Museum History , Texas online, XIT Ranch
These new legislators set aside a large amount of its lands to use for the capitol. By 1891 a fire destroyed the existing capital. Time for action. There was an investment syndicate, two brothers from Parmer county. An agreement was reached between the Chicago-based investment syndicate to back the brothers for and survey prior to fencing the XIT Ranch. Wikipedia:XIT Ranch , XIT Museum History , Texas online, XIT Ranch ,
Of this Elijah Wood began building a new capitol building in Austin. The COLLABORATION became one of the grand legends of the state's cattle heritage.
XIT Ranch and the State Capitol
In 1875, it was proposed that the great state of Texas needed a new capitol building. Short on cash, the state legislature instead set aside 3,050,000 acres in the Panhandle as payment. An investment syndicate from Chicago, with the backing of wealthy and titled British investors, accepted the proposal in 1882 and began surveying the lands of present-day Dallam, Hartley, Oldham, Deaf Smith, Parmer, Castro, Bailey, Lamb, Cochran, and Hockley counties. The land was good for raising cattle, and by 1885, barbed wire fenced the acres known as the XIT Ranch and the first 2,500 head of longhorn cattle arrived in Dallam County.

In Austin, Elijah Wood's sunset red granite capitol building was rising from the ground
The total cost of building the state capitol, which was completed in April 1888 was $3,744,630.60. The State of Texas assumed $500,000 of the debt.

XIT Land of $1/ acre price, provided $3,000,000 to build the Texas State Capitol
The ranch eventually sold for $5 to $20/acre
XIT headquarters, Channing.
Of Note: Texas Escapes gives more information The XIT was established at a time when traditional ranches preferred the old open-range concept with huge pastures and little fencing. However the XIT divided the vast 3,050,000 acres into seven divisions under the supervision of range and wagon bosses. 6,000 miles of barbed wire were used to fence the outside boundaries and divisions. The drilling of windmills where needed made the division of the dry ranges possible.
Many ranches depended on borrowed money, were not organized, suffered with the droughts,Most ranches of the time were poorly organized, usually depending on borrowed money for operation. Many were rich in good times and broke during the bad. The XIT brought proven business methods, planning know-how and exact bookkeeping, all of which were backed up by millions of dollars available for operating expenses. Most ranches used overworked average cowboys to do all work..
The XIT hired fencing crews, experienced windmill repairmen, well-drilling companies, carpenters for building and independent freighters to keep the ranch warehouses well-stocked with supplies.
The XIT "Poor Farm" as the cowboys called it, located some seven miles southwest of Channing, was actually a ranch-operated experimental farm using good equipment, experienced farmers and the latest in Department of Agriculture advice. Their records became proof to the new settlers that the land was good farmland and was capable of raising any number of dry-land grains along with the regular mix of livestock. These early experiments set the stage for today's "bread-basket-of-the-world" farming expertise famous throughout the Great Plains.
The XIT was the end of the old traditional Western ranch.
THE BRAND The most accepted version of how the XIT Ranch got its name is that cowboy Abner P. Blocker, who drove those first longhorn herds to the ranch, created "XIT" as a brand that cattle rustlers couldn't alter easily. Other theories are that the name stood for the "ten in Texas" (counties) that made up the ranch.
At its peak, the XIT ranch had 1,000 horses, 6,000 miles of barbed wire fence, over 100,000 head of cattle, and 150 cowboys. Some were African American, hispanic vaqueros, and white cowboys who repaired the fences, installed new ones, branded cattle, and moved herds to new sources of water.AT night they patrolled the fence lines watching for wolves and two legged (cattle rustlers).

Farwell, Texas
Farwell, the county seat of Parmer County sits at a crossroads of US Hwy 60 and 84, on the New Mexico state line. This town is located where Pecos Valley and Northern Texas Railroad enter New Mexico. The lumber company of 1904 was owned by R H Kemp. Farwell is named for Charles B and John V Farwell, heads of Capital Syndicate. Farwell was the headquarters for the representative James D Hamlin and land commissioner, FW Wiley.Buildings were warehouse, grocery store, brick stores , offices of Hamlin Brick, and Farwell Inn (3 story hotel.as well as a Congregational church which also served as the town's public school. This is located at the junction of U.S. highways 60 and 84, on the New Mexico state line where the Pecos Valley RR and Northern Texas Railway entered New Mexico, on land originally part of the XIT Ranch. Lumber company was nearby.
The site, named for the brothers Charles B. and John V. Farwell, heads of Capitol Syndicate, was headquarters for the company's resident representative, James D. Hamlin, and its land commissioner, F. W. Wilsey. Soon a large brick warehouse for R. C. Hopping and the Robertson brothers, who operated a grocery store in Texico; a group of brick stores and offices known as the "Hamlin Brick"; and later the Farwell Inn, a three-story brick hotel, Congregational church built in 1907 doubled as a public school and a post office and First National Bank..
When Parmer County was organized, Farwell became county seat. The Santa Fe Railroad established a freight depot, warehouse, and coalyard on the Texas side. By 1910 publication of the State Line Tribune was begun and with 800 citizens.. Farwell was disincorporated and the bank closed in 1910 when city funds became badly depleted. The bank was rechartered in 1912 as the Texas State Bank of Farwell.
Parmer County has an interesting history of courthouses.
First Courthouse one story wood frame courthouse was built at Parmerton Hill which was equidistant between Bovina and Friona then was moved to Friona. [4]

Parmerton: a town was given a name with the arrival of the Pecos Valley and Northern Texas Railroad in 1898. Originally known by the railroad's designation of Parmer Switch, both town and county were named after Martin Parmer who was one of the signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence.
It consisted of 200 acres of land that had belonged to the XIT Ranch were surveyed and a one story wood frame courthouse was built at Parmerton Hill which was equidistant between Bovina and Friona. A post office opened in September of 1907 but closed eleven months later. Parmerton became Parmer County seat in May of 1907, but it wasn't a popular decision. On December 10, 1907 a second election was held declaring Farwell the new seat of government. Parmerton didn't have time to develop a town center, so there was little to move to Farwell save the residents.
Today only the historical marker and a railroad switch mark the town that never got a proper start.

As an user of a car, I locate my own self getting prepared on the topic of auto wires. Since I Have am practically the previous one who ought to be tinkering with something that has electro-mechanical existing functioning by it, I became unwilling to try to sort out the issue of auto wires.
Nevertheless my vehicle made the decision in any other case if it did start to randomly pick electro-mechanical programs that it really planned to me tamper with. When the electric seat belts did start to glide again and forth with out good reason as I drove straight down the road, I chose I superior discover how to tamper with the electric programs, thinking about the exuberant fee of auto fix.
I uncovered my own self with a determination to either, disintegrate and spend $100 an hour for a so-called pro to look at it and aim to maintenance it, or I really could determine how the power strategy of my car proved helpful. Thinking about my stage of ignorance I possibly would aim to defeat the out of the question. In fact the only point I realized about power systems is that AC/DC was a rock strap and that newbies and cabling usually failed to go along.
Nevertheless even with my reluctance, I lay out to understand the things i could about auto cabling. I rapidly found that there is a big deliver of information located on the subject of auto cabling. A quick search on Google and yahoo offered me by having an collection of information. There are various degrees of web sites giving information.
Some web sites offered a simple introduction of the ordinary power strategy of most cars. A company named Very long Area Customs presented some good simple information. They said that their information was merely for a simple comprehending and not for a precise explanation of selected models. Nonetheless they basically supply some thorough info on simple systems these types of as AC and lighting fixtures. They also supply some good problems snapping shots information.

A number of rules regarding building at large will ensure that the server remains a pleasant place:
• Protect your areas! The chat commands to do so are available to everyone. See the info page on Areas mod [1] for more info.
• No death traps please.
• Bridges must have at least 2 meters clearance above the surface of water, for those who travel by boat. Especially bridges that carry tracks — laid at sea level they are a definite NO, basically being a death trap.
• Waterways (rivers, straits, bays, canyons, etc) must not be obstructed (made impossible to traverse by boat). Structures built on water are exempt as long as they keep enough water surface intact.
• The server has a number of different kinds of roads. Some are artificial (feldweg paths, paved roads), some are generated as parts of the map (wooden paths). Neither should be griefed or obstructed.
• In the best interests of people using bikes, roads that players make should not have height differences of 1 full block (bikes cannot ride over such an edge).
• Try to avoid building Cobbleboxes. There are many ways (such as the circular saw, CNC) to build nice structures.
The following recommendations will help ensure the world will look nice:
• Trees do not re-appear once cut, and neither do their fruits when gathered. Please replant.
• Don't leave "floating treetops" — trees which have only their lower part removed. It's ugly.
• In dense forests, use the mini chainsaw to avoid accidental deforestation.
• When gathering lava/sulphur/obsidian, try to avoid creating lava spills. They are both ugly and dangerous.
• Most materials are renewable (chiefly through technic mod's machines). If you need large amounts of building materials, it's preferable to produce them than to gather them in the wild.
• Pointless destruction of landscape is not only frowned upon, its pure griefing. It's best to build in harmony with the terrain, as opposed to flattening everything. There are some cases where you can nicely flatten the terrain, by replanting trees and making it look natural, but most times that never happens. Please only flatten if you are going to do an exceptional job of it.

Q: Python equivalent to `as` type assertion in TypeScript In TypeScript you can override type inferences with the as keyword
const canvas = document.querySelector('canvas') as HTMLCanvasElement;

Are there similar techniques in Python3.x typing without involving runtime casting? I want to do something like the following:
class SpecificDict(TypedDict):
    foo: str
    bar: str

res = request(url).json() as SpecificDict

A: as allows for explicit casting of a value to a sub- or supertype of the real value. This is relevant for a statically typed language, not so much for a dynamically typed language like Python. The typing module lets you provide static type hints that a third-party tool like mypy can use to look for static-type errors before you run your code, so let's focus on it.
typing.cast provides a general escape hatch for static typing: you are not restricted to sub- or super types of the actual type. You can claim that a value x has any type you like, and mypy will believe you. For example,
x: str = typing.cast(int, 5)  # Sure, OK, 5 is a string
assert isinstance(x, str)  # Oops, I guess not.

An as-like use of cast might be
x: Optional[int] = 3
y: int = x  # fail, x might be None at runtime
z: int = typing.cast(int, x)  # don't worry, I promise x isn't None

Upcasting is a little easier, as a type annotation will suffice.
x: bool = True
y: int = x  # Ok, bool is a subtype of int

mypy does perform type narrowing in certain contexts. For example, if a certain block of code can only be reached if a certain run-time type check passes, mypy will infer the type implied by the successful check.
x : Optional[int] = 5
x += 1  # static type error, since None doesn't support +=

but
x : Optional[int] = 5
if x is not None:
    x += 1  # OK; if x is not None is true, then we can assume x: int

A: If I understand you correctly, you're looking for typing.cast:
from typing import cast
res = cast(dict, request(url))

This will assert to a typechecker that res is assigned to a value that is a dictionary, but it won't have any effects at runtime.

Married father who sexually assaulted a girl wearing her school uniform on her 16th birthday in a shop where he worked is jailed for six months
Ahmed Khalio, 22, groped the teenager and then pinned her against a counter
The girl stopped in the Go Local store on Scargreen Avenue in Norris Green

A shop worker who sexually assaulted a girl wearing her school uniform on her 16th birthday has been jailed for six months.
Ahmed Khalio, 22, a married man with an 11-month-old son, groped the teenager and pinned her against a counter inside the convenience store where he worked, but later claimed he had only been 'messing around'.
The girl stopped in the Go Local store on Scargreen Avenue in Norris Green, Liverpool, on her way home from school on the day of the attack early last year.
Khalio, who was employed as a part-time shop assistant, was stacking shelves when she entered, Liverpool Crown Court heard on Tuesday.
Ahmed Khalio (pictured), 22, groped the teenager and pinned her against a counter inside the convenience store where he worked, but later claimed he had only been 'messing around'
He then followed her as she approached the till and touched her on her bottom.
He walked away to the front door before returning to her, pressing his body against hers from behind and sandwiching her against the counter.
Khalio, of Wavertree, asked her 'if she loved him' as well as how old she was, telling her 'not to tell anyone what happened'.
He then lifted up her skirt and began touching her legs and thighs before continuing his assault by touching her over her underwear.
The incident lasted a 'couple of minutes' and only stopped when another customer entered causing him to 'jump away quickly' and allowing her to escape.
She was left 'scared and in shock' and reported the attack to police that evening after telling a friend about what had happened to her.
The teen recalled 'telling him to get off her' but Khalio continued regardless, while she also stated she had been 'so scared she felt she couldn't scream or shout'.
Under interview, the sex offender 'accepted flirting' with the girl, whom he thought was aged 17.
He also 'denied putting his hand up her skirt or touching her private area' and said he had 'just been messing around'.
Khalio, who was employed as a part-time shop assistant, was stacking shelves when she entered, Liverpool Crown Court (above) heard on Tuesday
Khalio had no previous convictions.
Andrew McInnes, prosecuting, said the youngster was alone and still wearing her school uniform on what was her 16th birthday.
Sam Parham, defending, told the court: 'He is extremely sorry for his actions and any negative impact on this young lady.'
The defendant was assisted by an interpreter in the dock after being found guilty of four counts of sexual assault following a trial before magistrates.
Khalio was jailed for six months, as well as being handed a seven-year notification requirement and a restraining order preventing him from contacting the victim for the next two years.
Sentencing, the Honorary Recorder of Liverpool Judge Andrew Menary KC said: 'You simply took advantage of the fact she was alone and no one else was about.
'You touched her despite the fact she plainly did not want this attention from you.
'This lasted for a couple of minutes, although for her it must have felt like an eternity.
'Although you express some remorse for this incident, you continue to maintain that you did not simply assault her – certainly not in the way she describes.
'Your behaviour on this particular day was outrageous.'

Duodenal cancer is a cancer in the first section of the small intestine known as the duodenum. Cancer of the duodenum is relatively rare compared to stomach cancer and colorectal cancer. Its histology is usually adenocarcinoma.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Gardner syndrome, Lynch syndrome, Muir–Torre syndrome, celiac disease, Peutz–Jeghers syndrome, Crohn's disease and juvenile polyposis syndrome are risk factors for developing this cancer.

The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine. It is located between the stomach and the jejunum. After foods combine with stomach acid, they descend into the duodenum where they mix with bile from the gallbladder and digestive fluid from the pancreas.

Signs and symptoms
The cancerous mass tends to block food from getting to the small intestine. If food cannot get to the intestines, it will cause pain, acid reflux, and weight loss because the food cannot get to where it is supposed to be processed and absorbed by the body.

Patients with duodenal cancer may experience abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding.

Treatment
Resection is sometimes a part of a treatment plan, but duodenal cancer is difficult to remove surgically because of the area that it resides in—there are many blood vessels supplying the lower body. Chemotherapy is sometimes used to try to shrink the cancerous mass. Other times intestinal bypass surgery is tried to reroute the stomach to intestine connection around the blockage.

A 'Whipple' procedure is a type of surgery that is sometimes possible with this cancer. In this procedure, the duodenum, a portion of the Pancreas (the head), and the gall bladder are usually removed, the small intestine is brought up to the Pylorus (the valve at the bottom of the stomach) and the liver and pancreatic digestive enzymes and bile are connected to the small intestine below the pylorus.

The removal of part of the Pancreas often requires taking pancreatic enzyme supplements to aid digestion. These are available in the form of capsules by prescription.

Coronavirus – Retail & FMCG Updates From France
Published on Jul 31 2020 11:57 AM in A-Brands tagged: France / Coronavirus / COVID-19
As part of our efforts to keep you, the ESM reader, notified on the latest coronavirus-related developments in the retail and consumer goods sectors, here are the latest news updates from France. Click the link in each snippet to view the full story. To return to the map, click here.
The French economy contracted by a post-war record of 13.8% in the second quarter, crushed by a coronavirus lockdown, although the drop was shallower than expected and a bounceback in consumer spending offered hope of recovery.
A pick up in food purchases triggered by coronavirus lockdowns extended a revenue bounce at French supermarket group Casino in the second quarter, and the group said online sales were still booming even as restrictions ease.
Danone has reported weaker first-half results, as costs linked to the COVID-19 pandemic squeezed its profit margins and a decline in out-of-home consumption cut the sales of its bottled water division by 28% in the second quarter.
French spirits maker Pernod Ricard has said that the coronavirus pandemic is not expected to hit its full year profit as strongly as initially feared.
French consumer confidence rebounded more than expected in June although households' fears about unemployment and the economic outlook remained high, a monthly survey showed.
Pernod Ricard has said that it is backing the reopening of bars and restaurants in France, by announcing its support for the '1000 Cafés' initiative, which aims to bring back convivialité to the French HoReCa sector.
French shoppers are embracing convenience shopping as well as e-commerce during the coronavirus crisis, new data from Kantar has showed.
The French retail sector has responded to claims by medical professionals that they are 'profiteering' through the sale of protective masks, while those in the medical profession are short of equipment.
Carrefour saw its revenue growth accelerated in the first quarter, reflecting strong food sales in March in all its markets and notably in the core French market as people stayed at home due to coronavirus lockdowns.
French consumer confidence suffered its biggest ever monthly drop in April, when the country was locked down to contain the coronavirus epidemic, the INSEE statistics agency said.
The chairman and chief executive of Groupe Casino, Jean-Charles Naouri, has taken a 25% reduction in remuneration for the months of April and May 2020, the retailer has announced.
A French court has rejected a request from the CGT union that a Carrefour hypermarket near Lille be forced to close aisles selling non-essential products and it ordered the union to pay €1,000 compensation to the supermarket group.
Spirits maker Pernod Ricard has announced plans to suspend a share buyback of up to €500 million ($541 million) and keep a tight grip on costs in response to the coronavirus epidemic that cut third-quarter sales by 14.5%.
Danone has withdrawn its financial guidance for 2020 due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic, but posted higher first-quarter sales as shoppers bought more dairy, plant-based and nutrition products to eat at home.
Health-related measures, such as social distancing and the use of protective equipment, are likely to remain in place beyond the current coronavirus crisis, according to Michel-Édouard Leclerc, the chief executive of French retailer E. Leclerc.
While the COVID-19 outbreak saw an initial surge in purchasing across several key grocery categories, consumer purchasing is starting to stabilise in line with prior-year trends, according to a new study by IRI.
Amazon has been ordered to limit French deliveries to essential goods only within 24 hours to allow for a deeper assessment of coronavirus risks at its sites in the country, trade union Sud has said.
Drinks group Rémy Cointreau is expecting total operating profit to fall between 25% and 30% in its 2019/2020 fiscal year, due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Supermarket retailer Carrefour and Uber Eats announced a new delivery service, aimed at helping Parisians buy essential goods and food during the nationwide lockdown triggered by the coronavirus crisis.
Spirits group Pernod Ricard has warned of a hit of around 20% to its current operating profit as a result of the slump in business caused by the global coronavirus crisis.
Amazon workers in France are coming under unacceptable pressure, finance minister Bruno Le Maire has said, after staff complained they faced not getting paid if they stopped showing up due to fears of coronavirus contamination.
L'Oréal has announced a series of measures to support those who are at the front-line in the fight against the coronavirus outbreak in the continent.
Several hundred Amazon workers in France protested at one of its sites, calling on the online retailer to cease operations or make it easier for employees loath to work during the coronavirus outbreak to stay away.
Carrefour began putting up protective barriers for cashiers in its French supermarkets, as it beefs up sanitary measures and looks to keep business flowing as France shuts down other sectors to fight the coronavirus outbreak.
Moët & Chandon owner LVMH said that its cosmetics unit would manufacture large quantities of hand disinfectant gel to help stave off a nationwide shortage across France as the coronavirus rapidly spreads.
Retail giant Auchan said its performance this year will be dependent on the impact of the coronavirus outbreak after 2019 results showed the first benefits of the retailer's revival plan.
French consumer spending fell unexpectedly sharply in January, official data has showed, flagging a weak start to the year even before the coronavirus outbreak began taking its toll.
Food group Danone has lowered its 2020 forecast for sales and profit margin, citing a particularly uncertain economic climate and the impact of the coronavirus.
Rémy Cointreau, Pernod Ricard and Diageo are among the companies that could see a profit hit in the coming months from the Coronavirus outbreak, which is crimping retail and duty-free sales, and creating supply disruptions across China, Moody's has said.

Knicks free agency rumors: New York thinks Terry Rozier isn't a big 'step down' from Kyrie Irving
Written By E.Jay Zarett

There seems to be a strong chance Terry Rozier ends up with the Knicks.
New York is interested in signing the 25-year-old guard and some in the organization don't see him "as too far a step down" from his former Celtics teammate, star guard Kyrie Irving, "because of his age," according to a report from the New York Post, which cites unidentified team sources.
Rozier said he'd be open to joining the Knicks during an appearance on "Jalen and Jacoby" in mid-May.
"I definitely can (see myself playing in New York)," Rozier said. "This is a great organization. Everybody knows about the New York Knicks, their sports market, everybody knows about the city of New York. It'd be great."

Kemba Walker free agency rumors: Celtics frontrunner to land All-Star
Rozier will be a restricted free agent and the Celtics can match any offer sheet he signs with another team. But, Boston is the "front-runner" to land Kemba Walker, which may make Rozier expendable and could lead to the team renouncing his rights.
Irving is also expected to sign elsewhere this summer.
"Just looking for a team that's going to let me be myself, a team that treats me like family and just go from there," Rozier said. "I'm not a hard person to work with. I'm a team-first type of guy. Whoever I decide to make that decision with, I'm pretty sure it's going to be great."

Rozier averaged 9.0 points and 2.9 assists in 22.7 minutes per game for Boston in 2018-19. But, he shot just 38.7% from the field and appeared unhappy with his role.
"I might have to go (if the Celtics' roster remains the same)," Rozier said on ESPN's "First Take" after the season. "I put up with a lot this year, so, you know, I said what I said after the season (and) I think we all know that I'm not trying to step into that again."

The Knicks, meanwhile, will reportedly chase multiple stars this summer. They've been linked to Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Irving - although the Nets are reportedly the favorites to land him.
New York also selected former Duke star RJ Barrett with the No. 3 pick in the 2019 draft last week.

Whispers of Terror is Big Finish's third release, coming out in 1999, and it really showed Big Finish as a company who weren't afraid to stretch their wings a little bit. For them, much of the action must have seemed familiar, given that this story takes place in a series of recording booth's. But this move allows them to exploit one of the most familiar mediums.
The TARDIS brings the Sixth Doctor and Peri to, as Peri calls it, "A dim and dusty corridor". But that corridor is part of the Museum of Oral Antiquities, full of all recorded mediums. By chance, they have arrived in the eve of a memorial tribute to actor-turned-politician, Visteen Krane, in which there will be a broadcast announcing the name of his vice-president, who will take his place. But the crooked Beth Pernell, wants to use his death as her opportunity to become President, so she can finally enact her own nefarious policies.
But the whispers in the corridors seem to have a life of their own. There is someone twisting the words of Krane into things he never meant to say. And then there is the dead body.
Being the first proper Sixth Doctor story, Big Finish ever did, I was pleased to hear that Colin Baker's incarnation was just as bombastic as ever, though he had not yet mellowed into the role by this point. But that's alright, this was his first proper, proper story for this new company, we can cut him some slack at this point! And Peri sounded just like she did from the television series, which was good as she was a great companion! I didn't even recognise Lisa Bowerman as Beth Pernell! But this is probably because her take on Pernell was so good, that she shed the Bernice Summerfield character for two hours!
Everything about Whispers of Terror is ambitious, from its basic plot to its execution. And there is a fair amount of action. The whispering isn't so much whispers, but more screaming and shouting, Peri even mentions it at one point, but it is a welcome step into exploring the audio medium and the power it has to tell more involving stories than the visual medium does. I found it really surprising how the slight changes in Krane's speeches had in the overall plot and how it plays into what happened to the character. And there is a lovely little twist right at the end of the adventure, which was nice too.
WHISPERS OF TERROR, STARRING COLIN BAKER AND NICOLA BRYANT, WAS WRITTEN BY JUSTIN RICHARDS AND RELEASED BY BIG FINISH PRODUCTIONS IN NOVEMBER 1999.


Congress recently announced a plan to raise taxes on high-income individuals, returning the top two marginal tax rates (currently 33 percent and 35 percent, respectively) to their pre-2001 levels of 36 percent and 39.6 percent starting in 2011. This proposed measure has caused heated debates, in no small part because of the potential consequences of the tax increases on business formation rates.
According to the Congressional Research Service, critics believe that the legislation will undermine economic incentives that drive small business formation and investment. They argue that it will alter the domestic climate for business formation and small business owners.
On the other hand, supporters feel the tax change will – at most – result in a shift in business types organized. A report from the Urban Institute-Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center shows that an average of less than 2 percent of small business owners have been subject to the top two marginal tax rates since 2007.
The TCP argues that entrepreneurs who organize their firms as C corporations might not be affected by the tax in any way as the proposed legislation does not change the top corporate tax rates.
Whether the tax passes or not, entrepreneurs who are interested in learning about how to incorporate a business as a C corporation can visit online incorporation sites to learn about all of the tax benefits the entity offers.


How Trulia Dependent is Your Broker Website?
One of the most interesting shifts in real estate broker traffic that I've witnessed in recent years is the shift in referrals brokers are receiving from Trulia.com.
So, what's going on here? As far as I can tell, Trulia has decided that they want to keep home buyers on their site, where they can show them more ads, and force agents and brokers to pay for premium memberships. They are getting real estate agents and brokers to pay to look good next to their own listings. It's quite brilliant, for Trulia. But, it doesn't have to be that way for brokers.
Based on conversations I've had with brokers over the past year, many brokers have slipped into a Trulia-dependent mindset. Actually, it's a syndication-dependent mindset. They seem to think that they need to give away the listings their agents have worked hard earn, document and publish in order to earn traffic back from sites like Trulia. In fact, quite a few major franchises have recently stated that they plan to syndicate their listings to as many as 500 different syndication sites around the web.
What happens when each of those 500 sites adopts a model similar to Trulias? Will agents cough up $39.99 (or more) per month to look good on each of those sites? Under that scenario, the only people not making money would be the agents.
As you can see in the above chart, traffic from Trulia has rebounded slightly since this broker partnered with WhereToLive.com. This was due to seasonal market conditions. However, something changed dramatically: the volume free traffic from Google that this broker's website earns. Lots of free traffic. Highly qualified traffic.
While Google was already a larger source of traffic than Trulia, it now dwarfs Trulia as a traffic source. This traffic had previously been ending up on Trulia and other online competitors' websites rather than on the broker's site with the original listings. Clearly, this broker is better off having this traffic on their own site.
This broker has earned back a position as a destination site in their local market. They're still syndicating listings to Trulia, but they're much less Trulia-dependent than they were a year ago. And Google isn't trying to charge agents $39.99 to $149.99 a month to look good next to their own listings.
If you'd like to run the numbers for your own site, log in to your Google Analytics (or other stats program), click Traffic Sources > All Traffic Sources, then increase the timeframe to the past two years. Or, give us a call and we can walk you through it.

Q: Capturing on Paypal with client side script On the Paypal Basic Integration tutorial it is possible to capture an order client-side which essentially submits the payment to paypal. Once the order is captured, the tutorials shows you how to verify the transaction which would ensure you do not provide a service or product unless the paypal order is verified. However, someone could maliciously capture a payment using the client id and while verification would fail paypal would withdraw the funds from the customer. How can you prevent this? Is this secure?
[UPDATE]
This questions comes mostly out of curiosity and lack of experience with paypal. To put more context into this and hopefully help others; the Paypal basic integration is simply an HTML form and so it doesn't stop anyone from modifying the HTML form and send a different amount for authorization/capture; lets say that the original amount for an order is 100, it is possible that someone changes that amount and submit the authorization with the different amount; at the minimum it would initiate an authorization/capture of this different amount that perhaps is higher. Good practice dictates that the amount and orders should be verified before finalizing the transaction on the backend, but even if the transaction is found to be invalid the funds would have already been put on a "hold" by paypal and possibly on the customers credit card.
This is probably not an issue since, like mentioned, transactions should be verified on the backend; it is also not too obvious( maybe with some social engineering) how someone would benefit from this and most likely would just be an inconvenience.

Madison Center for Black Women Aims for Ownership
Zoe Sullivan September 5, 2019
Progress Center for Black Women founder Sabrina Madison (Courtesy Sabrina Madison)
"What sort of outcome are you looking for?" Sabrina Madison asks the small group, almost exclusively comprised of black women. "Close your eyes and vision it," she encourages them. Madison is running a leadership workshop for African-American folk who want to make an impact on their community.

Madison, also known as "Heymiss Progress," is a Milwaukee native. She moved to Madison more than a decade ago after her brother murdered someone. Madison says she wanted to remove her son from the potential of being caught up in retaliation. The decision to uproot herself and her family speaks to Madison's commitment to keeping her son safe. That same commitment spurs her work to help other black women stabilize their lives and families with safe, secure housing and regular employment. It is the root of her quest to find a permanent space for the Progress Center for Black Women, which she inaugurated in November 2018.
The Progress Center for Black Women is a space in Madison, Wisconsin, where black women can connect with others, access resources, and attend events. The Center's website says these opportunities "will foster personal transformation, eventually transforming the community as a whole." Currently housed in a rented space in a bedroom community just outside of Madison, the site describes a vision for a permanent space where women will be able to use a computer lab, take cooking lessons, and find business resources, among other things.
Madison is sporting dangly earrings with little strings of hot-pink beads swinging from golden half-moons. On this Saturday afternoon, she is coaching this leadership group through how to plan a community event and how to ask the local alder, the city council member, to come along on a neighborhood canvass. "Just think about it," she encourages the participants. She asks them to imagine the events they are planning and to consider: "Is this something we want the city to put on on a regular basis and fund?"
This work is an outgrowth of Madison's existential questions. Madison worked for a local community college for years, but when she left her job in 2015, she was asking herself: "Where does my work exist permanently, and what legacy am I trying to leave behind?" An encounter with a black community leader who had opened a community arts-focused organization led Madison to realize a critical point. "I wanted to be in control of the legacy that I leave behind, not someone setting my legacy for me," she says.
This clarity merged with a more physical sensation. Madison says there was nowhere in the city where "I could just walk into and feel good." Madison, Wisconsin, is nearly 80 percent white, according to the most recent U.S. Census estimate. Wisconsin incarcerates more black men per capita than any other state in the country. One zip code in nearby Milwaukee, where 95 percent of the population is African-American, ranks as the most-incarcerated area in the U.S. In 2017, nearly one-third of African-Americans in Wisconsin lived in poverty compared to less than six percent of white residents. Roughly 44 percent of black children were living in poverty, compared to just under 12 pecent of white children.
Having left the safety of a regular job in the spring of 2016, Madison began to forge new ground. A few months later, she organized the Black Women's Leadership Conference, which sold out shortly after she announced it. Some, seeing her success, encouraged her to expand and take the conference on the road. But Madison says she wanted to create something solid and permanent for black women in Madison. She also has a clear sense of what permanence means. "I'm interested in ensuring that we have ownership and control of whatever space we live in," she says. The idea, she says, sprang from her "thinking about permanency and about Black women and girls in the community." That is, Madison didn't want to abandon her adopted city without leaving something behind that could support African-American women. This is how the idea for the Progress Center was born.
So, in 2017, Madison began fundraising to create this space where black women would be able to enjoy the same access to resources and opportunities that their white counterparts do. In November 2018, Madison opened the doors to the community center in the bedroom community of Fitchburg, just outside the state capital.

One room offers a quiet space for relaxation, and Madison says that young girls are often attracted to it, perhaps because a full-length mirror allows them to study themselves. When women provided feedback for the space, Madison says, "they all left comments that reflected rest, recuperation, relaxation." One reason it may inspire these feelings of calm, Madison muses, is the window looking onto trees and the sky. The Center regularly offers co-working days, has hosted a family day with children's book authors, and hosts a "Black women's Afternoon Kickback" every few months.
Madison says the need for the Progress Center is clear. Black women, Madison says, "are always bombarded with trauma." She says incarceration and systemic racism has affected her life along with the lives of her peers and social network. "I lost my brothers, my father, my uncles [to incarceration]. You're burdened with doing it all. Keeping the kids out of trouble. That creates a lot of stress on those black women. It created a lot of stress on me," she told Next City.
"Fighting Godzilla" is how Madison describes racism and says that her work isn't about trying to defeat that monster single-handedly. "My work," she says, "is about how do we help families, even though we're experiencing racism, so your son isn't eaten up by the system."
Stable housing is one of the main issues Madison finds herself addressing with families in crisis. In recent years, the city's housing crunch has gained attention as roughly half of its renters are classified as "rent burdened." According to the Tenant Resource Center, Madison recently shifted from being a city where the majority of residents own their homes to one where the majority rent. "Housing is not at, it's been beyond a crisis point," Madison says of her namesake city.
Recognizing that low-income residents are being priced out of the housing market, Madison is developing plans for a permanent Progress Center that integrates housing. Currently, there are three potential models the center could adopt. One approach would see Madison raising funds and building the center from scratch with condominiums attached, which would likely be offered at below-market prices. Another would see the building include retail spaces that have housing attached for the storekeepers.
A third option involves partnering with a housing development organization. Movin' Out represents one possible partner. The organization was founded by parents who couldn't find appropriate housing options for their adult children with disabilities. Movin' Out has grown from finding existing apartments and houses for individuals and families with a disabled member to developing housing solutions itself.
The potential partnership grew out of a conversation between Madison and the head of Movin' Out, Kathryne Auerback. The two women discussed how Movin' Out could apply its experience developing affordable and accessible housing integrated into the community to helping African-American women stabilize their housing. Movin' Out's approach to multi-family units is to include people with disabilities in roughly a quarter of the units in a development. The developments also serve mixed-income residents and ensure affordability for people earning between 50 and 80 percent of the county median income.
For Auerback, one of the critical elements in her organization's work is its commitment to integrating people with disabilities into the broader community.
"There's additional programming opportunities that I think are really exciting," Auerback says of possibly joining forces with the Progress Center. Still, she acknowledges that it's too soon in the process to know precisely what those programs would be.
One point Madison is clear on is that ownership is central to her vision for the Progress Center. "I don't want to be in a situation where I'm dead and gone and the center is kicked out for some reason beyond our control. I'm trying to set the tone, and if I'm saying we need to be owners, we need to be owners," she says.
Ruby Clay participated in a recent planning session Madison held for the Progress Center with architects from SmithGroup. Clay runs a leadership group for adolescent black girls and works as a child and family support advocate with Domestic Abuse Intervention Services. Like Madison, Clay has seen the way gentrification has crunched the housing market in Dane County, which contains Madison.
"Families that are trying to figure out life are burdened with $1,400 rent and daycare and then you have to find resources for bus fare on top of that," Clay says. She envisions housing resource advocates being available to those who come to the Progress Center, and says "it'll be a great resource for women and families whose fathers are absent from the home."
Clay says she was speechless while Madison introduced the planning session. "She was talking about what she wanted to do. Nobody had that idea to run a space for black women and their kids. No one has done that," she says. Her praise for Madison is unequivocal. "You can say you care, but to show it — she means business," says Clay.

Q: check decimal or point Java i am working on a calculator project.
i am using a method to separate the char and numeric values.
but i am getting problem on when i have a decimal value, because result shown 0 when decimal value runs.
here is the code.

List<Double> numbers = new ArrayList<>();
List<Character> operators = new ArrayList<>();
..................

void testing() {

    String userInput = "234+234+234";
    /* ignore the line above its just for understanding */
    /*the above works fine but if we change it to below its dont work.*/
    String userInput = "234+2.3+4.2";
  /*  The both lines above are just for understanding actually i am getting text from edittext*/
    String userInput = currentcalc.getText().toString();
    for (char c : userInput.toCharArray()) {
     if (!Character.isDigit(c)) {
            s1 = Double.parseDouble(s2);
            numbers.add(s1);
            operators.add(c);
            handler++;
            s2 = "";
            s1 = 0;
     } else {
            s = Character.toString(c);
            s2 += s;
        }
    }
    result();
}

result = 0.0
s and s2 are strings and s1 is double. and in my code if c is not a digit it is saving value of operator like +,- etc and else it is saving value of digits and other things. i want to know that why "." is not being save via this code and why result is showing 0.0
the result(); code is here below

void result() {

  double total4 = 0;
  s1 = Double.parseDouble(s2);
  numbers.add(s1);
  if (handler < 1) {
   total4 = Double.parseDouble(currentcalc.getText().toString());
  } else {
   int i = 0;
   for (i = 0; i < handler; i++) {

    switch (operators.get(i)) {
    case '/':

     total3 = numbers.get(i) / numbers.get(i + 1);
     total4 = total3;
     numbers.remove(i + 1);
     numbers.set(i, total4);
     operators.remove(i);
     handler--;
     i--;
     break;
    }
   }
   for (i = 0; i < handler; i++) {
    switch (operators.get(i)) {
    case '*':

     total3 = numbers.get(i) * numbers.get(i + 1);
     total4 = total3;
     numbers.remove(i + 1);
     numbers.set(i, total4);
     operators.remove(i);
     handler--;
     i--;
     break;
    }
   }
   for (i = 0; i < handler; i++) {
    switch (operators.get(i)) {
    case '+':

     total3 = numbers.get(i) + numbers.get(i + 1);
     total4 = total3;
     numbers.remove(i + 1);
     numbers.set(i, total4);
     operators.remove(i);
     break;
    case '-':

     total3 = numbers.get(i) - numbers.get(i + 1);
     total4 = total3;
     numbers.remove(i + 1);
     numbers.set(i, total4);
     operators.remove(i);

     break;
    }
    handler--;
    i--;
   }
  }
  et1.setText(Double.toString(total4));
  resettext = 1;
 }

A: Following your result() method, total4 is set to 0.0 at the beginning, and no code ever changes it when the "." operator is encountered.
The bug is that you are treating "." as an operator. Have special code in your parsing loop to treat it as part of the number. You need to change the line if (!Character.isDigit(c)) {, and handle the maths logic.

A: If you are not required to implement any specific algorithm then you can use:
ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();

The Ethiopian Dream: Immigration
September 7 , 2019 . By Christian Tesfaye
As patriotic as Ethiopians may be, they are given to flight more often than not. It is not so much a lack of love for country as it is a pressure to escape from the vagaries of a developing nation.
Recently, I had the opportunity to meet friends and cousins I have been estranged from for at least two years. Most are in their early to late 20s. They live scattered in the city, working in jobs as diverse as the service and construction sectors. Some work in family businesses, others are employed in organisations, and yet others operate their own business.
But there is one constant. They are all looking for a way out of the country. College graduates not looking for some kind of exit have become endangered species. It seems like no one is ready to state that they are happy with their current status. Worse, few see a bright future for themselves as long as they continue to reside in this country. If there is anything such as an Ethiopian Dream, a local version of the American's national ethos, ours is immigrating elsewhere for a better future.
It just does not pay to live in Ethiopia. People hardly ever get anywhere through an honest day's work. It pays much more to have luck, be a shameless exhibitionist and, most of all, have a wealthy family that owns nothing short of a piece of property that can be passed down. Otherwise, one might as well not try.
Take, for example, how many adults in their mid-20s live by themselves. From the dozens of Ethiopians I know my age, only two can boast of having an abode of their own. The same goes for the ownership of cars.
This is a result of the major mismatch between incomes and the cost of living. It is a miracle covering daily needs, let alone saving to buy a car or invest in any kind of profitable venture. Even if we are somehow able to save by cutting costs, by the time we have reached our goal, whatever we had intended to do with our money has already doubled in price.
The people that improve their wealth are not those that are employed but property owners. Short of any innovative approach to growing wealth in Ethiopia by the government, supply is flailing while demand is exploding. Property owners get richer as the value of their assets surge, the cost of living increases to the point only they can afford to survive and everybody else gets squeezed out.
If the state cannot uphold its promise of upward socio-economic mobility to its citizens, can anyone be blamed for wanting to leave?
Naturally, the only remedy to such a state of affairs is to go to a country that can afford to give us a promising socio-economic future. We are a generation who, despite our hard work, are consistently told to ask ourselves what we have done for our country by successive regimes. It is about time we ask just what the government is willing to do for us so we can contribute to the wellbeing of the country.
Socio-economic mobility needs to become part of the national discourse. This is a state that terribly needs a professional class – engineers, doctors and computer scientists – and unless it can make their economic fears and aspirations part of the debate, it will lose them.
There are currently no parties talking about giving the Ethiopian Dream a chance. There is no one promising to fix the economic institutions of the nation to the degree that hard work becomes a conduit to success. Except for the incumbent, not a single party has an economic road map. Most actually support the government's management of the economy.
This is no mere economic argument. The socio-economic mobility of its citizens is the single most important source of a country's pride. The primary objective of a state is not the continuation of an idea of a nation but the improvement of the lives of its citizens. Addressing this crucial gap and bringing the focus back to the economic wellbeing of the masses should be the first order of business in orienting the country toward a path citizens can see a future in. Otherwise, immigration will remain the Ethiopian Dream.

Coffey Architects' Dana Research Centre and Library provides scholars with access to 500,000 items archived at the Science Museum in South Kensington, London.
The library's standout feature is a double layer of metal perforated panels that line the room's expanse of glazing. The library was conceptualised as a canopy, filtering light, under which research, reading and contemplation might take place. A simple element that defines Coffey's library is its complement of oak bookcases. These are located in a lower-height space deep into the plan and have been designed to conceal the structural columns supporting the floors above. They add warmth that contrasts with the white walls of the light-filled, double-height reading room beyond.

What Our Members Think!
Since 2011, The Motley Fool Australia has been a trusted source of investment and financial advice to tens of thousands of members. Read a selection of their reviews below, showcasing our commitment to making the world smarter, happier, and richer. We are dedicated to customer feedback in order to provide the best services possible.


This is a really worrying time for families, struggling with higher food prices and gas bills and worried about their jobs and their children's futures. That's why Labour has set out a clear five-point plan for jobs, to help struggling families and support small businesses.
Jackie writes: 'Many of our readers will have (since 18th November) walked or will be walking along the bridge at Watford Junction Station that takes you to the 'Abbey Flyer' from Watford to St. Albans and back again. You will have been amazed at the works of art on one side of the bridge and will be wondering who created them.
The first picture you encounter, when leaving Watford, is the one attached which was created by young people from Woodside Church of the Nazarene youth club. It was lovely to meet the young people responsible for this work who were full of energy and will, I hope, complete another work in the not too distant future. It was also lovely to meet Janet Tyndale, without whom, none of this would have happened.Janet explained that the Abbey Line Community Rail Partnership developed this project to engage local residents of Watford to create artworks to enhance the station environment for people using the Abbey Line.
The remaining posters are by Dale and Callum from the YMCA. They are superb and everyone should see them. Please click on www.projectatob.wordpress.com to read more.
Residents now have until 27 August to return their parking surveys thanksto action from your local Labour team. Lib Dem-run Watford council finally bowed to Labour pressure to conduct a review of the Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ) in West Watford first introduced by Labour in 1996.
However, the council, seemingly unaware that people may be away, then proposed an unrealistic short timescale for responses. Councillor Nigel Bell's protests led to them doing a U-turn and extending the deadline by a fortnight.
All properties within the current CPZ (including those roads in the current Match Day Parking Scheme), roads in the Kelmscott Crescent/Kelmscott Close area and roads off Kings Georges Avenue have been included within the survey distribution. In all, over 9,000 surveys have been dropping through letter boxes.
Councillor Jackie Connal (pictured) said; "Many residents have contacted me and my colleagues about the congestion in West Watford and were fed up waiting for the Lib-Dems to act to give residents a say on the chaos on our streets. After pressure from your Labour team we have the survey." Residents who may not have received their survey form can contact their councillors for one.
Cycle path sign no cycle path!
Thanks to action by Cllrs Jagtar Singh Dhindsa and Nasreen Shah, street trees across Vicarage ward that have been snapped by vandals have now been replaced. If you spot anyone damaging trees please report this immediately to the police or the council.
Vicarage Labour Team Sat 28th Jan.
Councillors Mo Mills and Jagtar Singh Dhindsa were out with their team meeting residents in St James/Liverpool Road area. Residents complained of potholes, poor street sweeping, graffiti, street lighting and blocked sewers. Your Labour Team have reported these and will be following up to ensure action is taken. See successes below.
Actually they didn't do it themselves but Matt and Cllr Jackie Connel spotted this broken street sign on one of their ward inspections and got it replaced.
Matt has reported this dumped mattress and asked that the Council remove it. Fly-tipping has increased massively since the Lib Dem Council introduced £25 charges for removal of large items, Matt says: "No one condones dumping but the Lib Dems didn't think this through. Collections were free under Labour."
Street lights fiasco - off at night but on in day!
Matt has reported one of many lights in Holywell that are now on for 24 hours a day!
Since the Tory County Council tried to save money by turning off the lights, the timers they installed at a cost of over £1million are failing. Labour wants to see the lights put back on at night so that people can feel safe in their beds and shift workers and others feel safe walking home.
Vicarage ward councillors were joined by County Councillor Nigel Bell on a walk around Vicarage ward on 30th June. Below are just a few of the problems they found which they''ll get sorted.
A delighted shopkeeper thanks Mo for getting the rubbish cleared and bins provided. Mo says, "Now lets keep it that way!"
Mo Mills wants a proper solution to this rubbish which is regularly being dumped in Harwoods Road. She's working with the shopkeeper and the Council to get it sorted.
The Community Housing Trust responded quickly to Nasreen's request that a new fascia board be fitted at Swanston House.
The Highways Department acted quickly when Jagtar got onto them.
Jagtar feels that the County Council have had long enough to repair the potholes cause by winter frost. He wants these potholes in Mildred Avenue repaired immediately.
Holywell Labour Councillors, Jackie Connal and Matt Turmaine visited Watford Hospital on Tuesday May 22nd to celebrate the opening of the new Studio 2 at the Watford Hospital Radio station.
BBC Radio 2 DJ, Johnnie Walker was on hand at the launch and interviewed by the station before greeting staff and guests.
The new studio will provide an opportunity to record more programmes, permit interviews to be conducted while Studio 1 is being used and offer a greater level of flexibility for the station's output.
You don't have to be in hospital to listen to Watford Hospital Radio, you can download the TuneIn app to listen wherever you are, visit the website at www.watfordhospitalradio.com and can follow the station on social networks; Twitter: @WHRWatford and FB: Watford Hospital Radio.
Holywell Labour Councillor Matt Turmaine and his wife Jeanette did a gruelling 16 mile charity fundraising walk for Watford's New Hope Trust on Saturday 16th June. Pictured here before the start of their walk, the funds raised will go to help the work of the trust in supporting local homeless people.
Cllr Jackie Connal at the Portugese fiesta held at Laurance Haines School on Saturday, 7th July with some Portugese residents in traditional costume.
Jackie said, "It was a fantastic event with singing,dancing and fundraising by the Portugese Association."
Cllr Nigel Bell,who also attended the event later in the evening said, "it was fantastic to see hundreds of Portugese residents from Watford and beyond with their vibrant music along with other local residents from West Watford who were able to join in with the celebrations from local streets.
"The food and games and family atmosphere showed the rich culture that we have here in West Watford that attracted people from as far afield as Camden and Central London.
"We are lucky to have such a hard working and respected community who have settled here."
Cllr Jackie Connal at the opening of this new club in Rembrandt House on Saturday 18th August. Jackie said, "I would like to thank everyone for making me so welcome. It is an amazing sport for both sexes and all ages and I would encourage readers to go onto their web site www.kodokankendo.org to find out more."
Holywell councillor Jackie Connal joined Watford firefighters at Watford Museum on Sat. 8th December for a Christmas celebration. Jackie said, "It was a very special time with children's craft workshops and wonderful crafts and gifts made by local artisans."
Cllr Nigel Bell is demanding punitive action against the private maintenance company that has caused raw sewage to flood out of Faraday Court and onto Stripling Way on four occasions in the past month. He has also asked the Council to clear up the raw sewage and toilet paper still lying on Stripling Way where children walk to school. Pictured here with local resident Frank Cooper and Matt Turmaine, Nigel said: "The Environment Agency must take action against this company to ensure this health hazard is not repeated."
Labour Councillors Jackie Connal and Matt Turmaine supported Watford's fantastic inter-faith celebration on Monday 7th May at the Colesseum - Watford Celebration! 2012. Pictured here, Jackie signs the Amnesty International petition whilst Matt and his wife visit the New Hope trust staff. New Hope Trust supports local homeless people find their way back into mainstream life, Also pictured is the Royal Jubilee Mural designed by Watford young people between the ages of 11 and 16 to celebrate The Queens Diamond Jubilee. Celebration! has a full programme of performances on the stage, where all kinds of musical groups and dancers perform. In the auditorium there is an array of stalls for community groups and charities, faith groups and hobbies.
The Lib Dems have taken away dog-poo bins and say it should go in ordinary bins - how unhygenic!
Leggatts Labour councillor Anne Joynes visited Watford Hospital on Tuesday May 22nd to celebrate the opening of the new Studio 2 at the Watford Hospital Radio station.
Anne writes: "There was plenty of Jubilee fun to be had at Hollytree House on Saturday, 2nd June when we visited- a barbecue, games and music made for a great day and it was sunny, too. The day at Hollytree House was organised by the Courtlands' Residents they even organised the sunshine; quite a feat for the weekend. We were all made to feel very welcome and many people showed the 'Jubilee spirit' with colourful hats and even a patriotic wig! There were games and a fantastic barbecue. The best part of the day for me was the wicked line-dancing which was performed by some of the residents of Hollytree House."
Asif has reported this hole that is growing in Victoria Road. He fears the sewer below may have collapsed. He has asked the Highways Dept to look at it urgently.
Anne Joynes will be demanding tough action after residents of Breakspeare Close complained to her about cars driving on their green and smashing down fences erected to protect the grass.
Mo Mills and her team were out across Vicarage Ward on 11th Feb clearing alley-ways and filling skips paid from their Council locality budget.
Cllr Mo Mills was at West Herts Sports Ground to present a cheque for £516.00 for equipment for the West Herts Youth Football Club, from the Community Engagement Fund, for the Vicarage Ward. Mo said, "This is a great community team for local young people and I am delighted to support them".
Watford announced as one of Labour's 'target seats' for 2015 general election.
The Labour Party has published it's 106 target seats for the next general election. These include Watford as one of 13 seats in the east of England that Labour must win to form a majority government in 2015. Watford has been a three-way marginal seat in recent general elections but a swing of less than 5% could return the constituency to Labour. The seat was held by Labour between 1997 and 2010. It is a key marginal with Labour expected to be the main challenger to the Tory incumbent in 2015. Meanwhile, Watford Constituency Labour Party has started the process to select a parliamentary candidate for the next General Election. Applications from Labour Party members closed on the 19th January 2013. Selection will be on the basis of one member one vote. Details of voting arrangements will be posted to party members in the near future. Members unable to attend the hustings meeting may apply for a postal vote by 30th January.
Seamus has expressed his concerns over the future of the centre following the public consultation meeting on 28th February. He said, "For the last year they have been saying that the deal with the Trust has been completed. But now we learn that there is no deal because the Council will not guarantee the funding. How can they expect the Trust to take over when its funding could be cut at any time? Cllr Jan Brown and the Liberal Democrats have let down the Meriden yet again!"

Sleepy English town to be entirely surveilled in case criminals forget and drive through it on their way to crimes
Cory Doctorow 10:37 pm Fri Jul 29, 2011
Royston, a small market town of 15,000 people in Herts, England, is being completely encircled with license-plate cameras that will record the comings and goings of everyone who passes in or out of the town, and store them for up to five years. There's not really much crime in Royston. But the automatic number plate recognition manager for the region says that he will catch lots of criminals and terrorists because they might forget that this one town is totally surveilled and drive through it on their way to and from crimes and atrocities in other towns.
Daniel Hamilton, director of Big Brother Watch, said: "It is such an arbitrary and intrusive method. To do this in what is essentially a sleepy market town is ridiculous.
"Logging the movements of tens of thousands of innocent people living in the area is grossly disproportionate to the crime fighting abilities of the system and an abhorrent invasion of people's privacy."
Inspector Andy Piper, Hertfordshire Police's ANPR manager, said: "On first sight, the ANPR coverage of such a low crime town as Royston may seem an unusual choice, but ANPR works both as a deterrent and a detection tool.
"When we look at the bigger picture in terms of Hertfordshire, as well as nationally, the position of the cameras makes a lot of sense strategically to target those criminals travelling into the county on the main roads in that area – not to mention counter-terrorism."

Uncharted 4's PlayStation 5 upgrade will arrive in January
Nathan Drake is heading into a new generation with the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection early next year. The new collection will bring Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy to PlayStation 5 on Jan. 28, 2022, and to Windows PC sometime later next year, Sony announced on Tuesday.
The PS5 version of Legacy of Thieves Collection will also include some impressive graphical improvements, including three different graphics modes: Fidelity Mode, which lets players play 4K resolutions at 30 frames per second; Performance Mode, which aims for 60 fps with a lower resolution; and Performance Plus Mode, which targets 120 fps at 1080p resolution.
The updated versions of the game will also include near-instant load times, Sony said, as well as support for spatial audio and haptic feedback from the PS5's DualSense controller.
Sony offered fewer details on the PC version, saying that more will be shared later about system requirements and a release date, which should be sometime in 2022.
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection will cost $49.99, but players who bought the original PlayStation 4 version of either Uncharted 4 or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy can upgrade to the digital version of Legacy of Thieves for $10. This offer does not apply if you got your copy of Uncharted 4 via PlayStation Plus.

I received this razor as a free sample and decided to give it shot. The Schick Hydro Silk razor glides very smoothly over the skin because of the shaving gel built in the razor, which is convenient. The gel doesn't last too long though, but I found that I have to make sure to store this with the blade up and not down, otherwise the gel can get all messy and go all over the place. but it's great on the first day. If you have sensitive skin, this may be the razor for you because it doesn't "scratch" over the skin, it feels "very" lubricated. It gives a very close shave, which lasts for two days or more, depending on the rate at which your hair grows. My legs stay super smooth. I love the moisturising strips on it just wished it lasted longer, it runs out and the razor is still not blunt.
I have never nicked or cut myself while using the hydro silk razor, not even once. A little on the pricey side but definitely worth it. I try to buy it when its on special, because it really is the best. Have repurchased and will continue to do so.
After finding out my razor that I use doesn't have blades to buy anymore kinda annoyed me, meant I had to go searching for another one, I didn't have a lot of time as I really really needed one. I had a look onto KIWIreviews site to see what razors were reviewed and what people thought of them first because its a big amount of money for me to buy for something that I can't stand or like.
I came across the Hydro Silk as a good review and thought I would give this a go since I started shaving I have almost always used Schick brand. I brought the pack while it was on special which was a great price for a handle, 2 blades and a razor holder. I read on the packet "moisturizes for up to 2 hours after shaving" which took my eye as well since I hate using creams and stuff to moisturizer after shaving this was going to save me time and cut out the grossness.
Once opening it all up, I noticed there was instructions on the inside, thinking this was silly as I know how to use a razor I was going to just throw it away until I had a closer look and decided to read you know just in case I do something wrong. Best results is in a shower, check as I only shave in the shower. To activate the moisturizing serum put it under running water, WOW really? no shaving cream or soap? and then once finished hang on the shower hanger EASY? lets give that a try.
Get into the shower and place the razor under the running water and start shaving what do you know, no shaving cream or soap needed, it was so smooth and so easy to use. It didn't stop and get caught and made my legs actually feel good. I didn't have to worry about the shower washing away the soap or shaving cream while I was trying to shave, everything worked great together. My legs felt good after the shower and there was no need to want to put cream on my legs to keep them smooth. After using it for 2 weeks I'm very pleased with the results it takes a couple of days for the hair to grow back as its not a stop it happening kinda thing and hair is going to come back whether we like it or not.
I would recommend this to my friends and family that are looking for a good razor, this will save me money in the long run as well with not having to use shaving cream or extra soap.
I really like the Hydro Silk Razor and although I've had mine for ages, I've just gone back to using it after quite a few months of using another brand - I'm now wondering why I ever stopped using it! I think the main thing that stands out the most to me is the fact that this razor gives such a closer shave than any other brands I've used. I have to say the fact that this is the feminine version of male one with 5 blades had my attention straight away when I first found it in the supermarket - I know my husbands is good so surely the feminine version has to be as well was my first thought.
The blades on this razor last a considerable amount of time which makes it good value for money, although I think all razors are ridiculously priced!! I do find after using it a few times the moisturising bar eventually runs out and this happens long before the blade is blunt. It almost goes through a set pattern of it working really well for a few shaves, then it becomes a slimy mess for a few shaves and then suddenly it is all gone. This doesn't bug me too much but it just means I need to remember to use body wash once the moisturising bar is finished. It definitely shaves a lot smoother and has better results at the start of using a cartridge.
I like my Hydro Silk Razor, but I always find myself looking at other razors as though there just might be something better out there. But to date I have not switched. I love how comfortable my hydro silk feels in my hand, it is shaped to fit the hand comfortable and the groves in the handle mean you have a non slip grip as well, making shaving a brease.
I have very sensitive skin, so it does not take very much for me to become irratated and to get rashes, however I have not yet had any irritation from my hydro silk razor. My skin always feels silky smooth, and I don't find that I cut or nick myself, I do find I have to go over my legs twice though to get that smooth hair free feel.
Since I started shaving my legs as a young teenager I have been searching for a razor that does the job well. Finally after nearly thirty years of searching I have found one. Schick Hydro Silk is the feminine version of the Schick Hydro. It is not the cheapest razor available but it does a great job. I also find the blades last a lot longer than the cheapies so it makes it good value for money.
It has five blades that are "curve sensing" this means that it does a great job in the awkward spots like around the knees and the armpits. I also find that it shaves closer so where previously I was shaving every second day I now can get away with shaving every third day.
The big claim is the water-activated moisturising serum. I definitely notice the difference when I change cartridges. The razor just glides over my skin and my skin is much smoother. I find that this serum disolves within a week probably because I keep my razor just under the shower rose so it is constantly damp. I am too frugal to replace them every week so I find that I need to use a bit more shower gel to lubricate my shave than I would with a new cartridge.
One of my favourite things about this razor is the handle. It is shaped perfectly for my hand. There is even a spot to rest your pointer finger. The all helps to give a better result. I have dropped this razor several times and although the cartridge will fall off nothing is broken. With other razors the little bits that grip the cartridge break and I've had to replace the whole thing. Over a year after I bought it and the handle is still going strong.
I hope that Schick continue to make this razor because it real suits me.
