Marc Folgate will fight for improved services if he wins the upcoming Oundle by-election.
Fighting for a fairer deal for Oundle is the pledge of a local businessman selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate to stand in the Northamptonshire County Council by-election.
Marc Folgate, 51, says he will make making policing and road conditions top of his priorities if he wins the seat which has been left vacant following the resignation of former council leader Heather Smith.
A well known local campaigner, Marc will be standing for election for the first time and says he has been spurred on to get involved because of current local and national problems.
He said: "The country is in a mess and county is in a mess and the two things coincide. That has given me the momentum to think we have got to change things for the better.
"There is the issue of Oundle being shortchanged at a county council level and there is the perception locally that we are cut adrift.
Marc, who is a lawyer and father of two, has grown up in the town, and lived in it for most of his life, so he says he knows the issues well. He is a former Laxton School and Prince William School pupil.
Things he will be campaigning to improve if elected include better cycle routes and road repairs, more police presence in the town and better ambulance provision.
He will be doing door to door campaigning in the coming weeks and has recently been out canvassing for the national Liberal Democrats People's Vote Brexit campaign.
The by-election will take place on February 21 with further details to follow from the county authority.

Productivity Commission Report on Human Services...
The Productivity Commission released its Study Report into Human Services today. Among other things the Commission has recommended that social housing be subject to increased competition. This is likely to be a game changer for affordable housing in Australia.
Affordable housing providers would be wise to prepare now by being clear about their goals, their market niche, cost structure and the skills of their staff and board.
Review of Disability Housing Program...
In 2017, ak advisory was engaged by Renewal SA to review the South Australian Housing Trust's Disability Housing Program. The review recommended a number of changes to the program to optimise the use of the housing assets to provide greater benefit for people living with a significant disability, especially in the light of new NDIS funding. ak advisory's final report was submitted to Renewal SA in late November 2017 following extensive consultation. A copy of the discussion paper is available here.

More words: "Palin has executive and governing experience"
Whatever. You are on the internet LOL!!. On a Forum!!! All of these threads have articles posted from the net. Don't be mad at the messenger because you don't like the message.
I saw you should make up your own opinion instead of pasting articles from the internet.
Your really ok, with 4 MORE YEARS IN A DUMP! YOUR OK WITH THIS., too many people i know from both party's are not, not ok, with the way things are going, i should say not going, anywhere.
He's talk talk talk, a good game, no action President, puts the blame on everyone and then some, comes a time for the President to take responsibilities, for his own mistakes and Man Up.
I have friends that are Dems, that think they honestly do, he is in campaign mode all the time.
This administration is the worse ever, a joke, no accountability what so ever, for these clowns.
I bet you voted for GW both times. LOL!!!
What part of that screamed "I'm okay with 4 more years of a conservative in a liberal's clothing"?
What I believe I said was "There is no candidate running that can realistically beat Obama".
Not that I'm okay with him.
I thought Wal-mart people were ignorant, conservative, inbred rednecks who cling to God and guns? You mean good, normal, middle-class people like those intelligent liberals shop at Wal-mart too? Well well, another liberal myth just got knocked off its heels.
Wait a minute, doesn't shopping at Wal-Mart help prop up China's economy? I read Wal-Mart is the 8th largest trading partner of China. Doesn't that make people who shop there anti-American?
I say there are lots of ignorant people out there. How could anyone possibly even think about voting for Obama again?
What is he doing to small business? If you say regulation please be specific.

Q: iOS: ScrollView with clickable objects inside The following lines of code represents objects that i insert into a scrollView.
My problem is, none of the images inside the scrollview are drag-and-droppable.
When the images are added alone, that is outside the scrollview, they are perfectly click - and drag-and-droppable.
It appears every event that occur triggers the scrollViews listener, and not the clicked image listener.
The scrollView is perfectly scrollable regardless of how the images are added.
How can i trigger the image drag-and-drop if clicked, and still be able to scroll it's parent view - the scrollView?
#import "BookShelfSection.h"

@implementation BookShelfSection

{

    self.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
    return self;
}

    - (void)addPages:(NSArray *)fileNameArray

        page.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height);
        page.contentMode = UIViewContentModeBottom;

        UIImage *image2 = [UIImage imageNamed:@"car_1.png"];
        Item *item = [[Item alloc] initWithImage:image2 andPosition:CGPointMake(100, 100)];

        [view addSubview:page];
        [view addSubview:item];

        [self addPageView:view];
    }

}

@end

EDIT: This is how i perform my drag and drop:
The Item Class:
#import "Item.h"

@implementation Item

- (id)initWithImage:(UIImage *)image andPosition:(CGPoint)position
{

    CGRect cellRectangle = CGRectMake(position.x, position.y,image.size.width ,image.size.height );

    self = [[Item alloc] initWithFrame:cellRectangle];
    if (self) {
        [self setImage:image];
        [self setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
    }
    return self;
}

- (void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    CGPoint pt = [[touches anyObject] locationInView:self];
    startLocation = pt;
    [[self superview] bringSubviewToFront:self];
}
- (void) touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    CGPoint pt = [[touches anyObject] locationInView:self];
    CGRect frame = [self frame];
    frame.origin.x += pt.x - startLocation.x;
    frame.origin.y += pt.y - startLocation.y;
    [self setFrame:frame];
}

- (void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    CGRect frame = [self frame];
    int originX = (int)roundf(frame.origin.x);
    int originY = (int)roundf(frame.origin.y);
    NSLog(@"Touch ended at point: [%d, %d]", originX, originY);

}

- (void) touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    NSLog(@"Touch cancelled");
}

@end

A: Add that to the UIImageView:
page.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
item.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

A:
It appears every event that occur triggers the scrollViews listener, and not the clicked image listener.

When you catch this event for scrollview, loop through your added page/images & check the value of userInteractionEnabled ? May be that will help to narrow down the problem.

Abdias do Nascimento (March 14, 1914 – May 23, 2011) was a prominent African Brazilian scholar, artist, and politician. Also a poet, dramatist, and Pan-African activist, Nascimento created the Black Experimental Theater (1944) and the Black Arts Museum (1950), organized the National Convention of Brazilian Blacks (1946), the First Congress of Brazilian Blacks (1950), and the Third Congress of Black Culture in the Americas (1982). Professor Emeritus, State University of New York at Buffalo, he was the first Afro-Brazilian member of Congress to champion black people's human and civil rights in the National Legislature, where in 1983 he presented the first Brazilian proposals for affirmative action legislation. He served as Rio de Janeiro State Secretary for the Defense and Promotion of Afro-Brazilian People and Secretary of Human Rights and Citizenship. While working as curator of the Black Arts Museum project, he began developing his own creative work  (painting), and from 1968 on, he exhibited widely in the U.S., Brazil and abroad. He received national and international honors for his work, including UNESCO's special Toussaint Louverture Award for contribution to the fight against racism, granted to him and to poet Aimé Césaire in 2004. He was officially nominated for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.

Early life

Born in Franca, São Paulo state, Nascimento attended public school as a child and joined the military in 1929. In the 1930s Nascimento was a member of the Brazilian Integralist Action, a fascist party. He received a B.A. in Economics from the University of Rio de Janeiro in 1938, and graduate degrees from the Higher Institute of Brazilian Studies (1957) and the Oceanography Institute (1961).

Black Experimental Theater
From 1939 to 1941, Nascimento traveled throughout South America with a group of poets who called themselves the "Santa Hermandad Orquidea", or "Holy Brotherhood of the Orchid." At the Municipal Theater of Lima, Peru, they attended a performance of Eugene O'Neill's play The Emperor Jones with a blackfaced white actor in the leading role. Then and there, he decided to create a black theater in Brazil to fight against racism. In Argentina, Nascimento spent a year with the "Teatro del Pueblo" (People's Theater) in Buenos Aires, where he learned the technical and performance aspects of theater. Returning to São Paulo, he was imprisoned, having been convicted in absentia by the civilian court for the same incident of resisting racial discrimination for which he had been excluded from the Army. While in prison at the Carandiru Penitentiary, he created the Convict's Theater, in which prisoners wrote, directed, and performed in their own plays and musical productions. When released, Nascimento moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he founded the Black Experimental Theater (Teatro Experimental do Negro, TEN) in 1944. TEN premiered on May 8, 1945, with a production of O'Neill's The Emperor Jones, surprising skeptical critics with a presentation that was highly acclaimed for its technical and dramatic effectiveness. With intense activity in theatrical production, TEN also was responsible for stellar initiatives in black activism, such as the National Convention of Brazilian Blacks (1945–46), the Conference of Brazilian Blacks (1949), and the First Congress of Brazilian Blacks (1950). A resolution of the 1950 congress advocated the need for a Black Arts Museum in Brazil, and the Black Experimental Theater embraced the project. Many artists donated works and the first exhibition was held in 1968 at Rio de Janeiro's Museu da Imagem e do Som (Museum of Image and Sound). The Black Experimental Theater organized the cast for the play Orfeu da Conceição, by Vinicius de Moraes, which was later adapted into the motion picture Black Orpheus, directed by Marcel Camus.

Life in exile
Nascimento became a leader in Brazil's black movement, and was forced into exile by the military regime in 1968. From 1968 to 1981 Nascimento was very active in the international Pan-African Movement and was elected vice-president and Coordinator of the Third Congress of Black Culture in the Americas. For the next decade Nascimento was a visiting professor at several universities in the United States, including the Yale School of Drama (1969–1971), and University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, where he founded the chair in African Cultures in the New World, Puerto Rican Studies Program in 1971. He held the position of Professor Emeritus at SUNY-Buffalo. Nascimento also taught at the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) in Nigeria.

Return to Brazil

Nascimento returned to Brazil in 1983 and was elected to the federal Chamber of Deputies as a member of the Democratic Labor Party (PDT). There, his focus was supporting legislation to address racial problems. In 1994 he was elected to the Senate and served until 1999. In 2004 he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Peace. A biography of Nascimento by the journalist Sandra Almada was published in 2009 as part of the Retratos do Brasil Negro series.

Nascimento suffered from diabetes and died on 23 May 2011, in Rio de Janeiro, due to cardiac arrest.

Who Is the Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen Pop Star?
Pikotaro soared to number one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart in 2016 with "PPAP (Pineapple-Pen-Apple-Pen)," launching the Japanese comedian's career to new heights. With just a handful of wacky English lyrics, a taste for flamboyant fashion, and matching enthusiastic dance moves, Pikotaro created one of the catchiest viral tunes to come out of Japan.
Pikotaro is the alternate ego of Daimaou Kosaka, which is the stage name of Kazuhito Kosaka, who was born in Aomori, Japan. He pursued comedy for years as part of the trio Sokonuke AIR-LINE, mostly performing skits, comedy acts and songs on television until they disbanded in 2005. Then 32, Kosaka decided to focus more on working behind the scenes, before returning to comedy in 2008. While he was successful enough to appear in commercials and even be chosen for Aomori's tourism ambassador in 2015, nothing compared to the unexpected breakout success of "PPAP" in 2016.
Kosaka had already written the music for a bunch of songs he planned to fill out. He wrote the lyrics for "PPAP" at home while listening to the tune. He claims he really was inspired by an apple (coincidentally from his hometown of Aomori prefecture, the country's largest producer of apples), along with an old can of pineapples left out and the pen he was using to write. But to perform it, Kosaka knew it wasn't himself but rather Pikotaro who was the best man for the job. He uploaded "PPAP (Pineapple-Pen-Apple-Pen)" as the first song on his new YouTube channel.
Kosaka had created his alternate character Pikotaro years ago to help him perform live comedy acts. Pikotaro is a completely different person from his human host. For one thing, he's 10 years older, born in Chiba prefecture and enjoys listening to Mariah Carey and Stevie Wonder. The python- and leopard-print-loving singer, his exuberant dancing, and the song's simple English lyrics had all the right qualities, and the "PPAP (Pineapple-Pen-Apple-Pen)" video went viral on YouTube shortly after its release in October 2016. The original video has over 126 million views, but the actual number is easily double that thanks to numerous versions.
Japan's newly re-elected prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has invited Pikotaro to a dinner party with Trump during the American president's official visit in November. Last year, Trump's granddaughter Arabella released a video of herself singing Pikotaro's hit "PAPP." According to The Japan Times, Abe told Trump, during one of his visits to New York, that he enjoyed the video, which might have given him the idea to bring the two together.

Q: Iteration in python dictionary I populate a python dictionary based on few conditions.
My question is:
can we retrieve the dictionary in the same order as it is populated?
          questions_dict={}

              data = str(header_arr[opt]) + str(row)
              questions_dict.update({data : xl_data})
              valid_xl_format = 7
              if (type.lower() == "ma" or type.lower() == "mc"):
                      data = str(header_arr[opt]) + str(row)
                      questions_dict.update({data : xl_data})
                      valid_xl_format = 7

After populating if i iterate it is not in the order it is populated
     for k in questions_dict:
          logging.debug("%s:%s" %(k,questions_dict[k]))

A: To keep track of the order in which a dictionary is populated, you need a type different than dict (commonly known as "ordered dict"), such as those from the third-party odict module, or, if you can upgrade to Python 2.7, collections.OrderedDict.

A: Dictionaries aren't ordered collections. You have to have some other data to keep track of the ordering.

A: the reason dictionaries are efficient is that the keys are mapped to objects called hashes and the dictionaries internally stores your values associated to the key's hashes. so when you loop over your entries, this is related to the order of the hashes, not the original keys.


In an effort to appease neighbors' objections, Ciminelli Real Estate Corporation has once again revised its plans for a residential project in Waterfront Village. Ciminelli has eliminated previously-proposed condominium buildings and is now planning only townhomes for the site.
Ciminelli was named designated developer for the vacant City-owned parcel at 240-260 Lakefront Boulevard in early-2015. The development team has been tweaking its plans since after neighbors continued to push back over its plans. The 2.4- acre site is one of the last remaining parcels in Waterfront Village and was always designated for development.
Ciminelli's original plan called for a condominium building close to the waterfront and ten townhouses along Lakefront Boulevard (above). It was later revised to flip the units: a five-story, 20-unit condo building along Lakefront and ten townhouses closer to the water (below). Residents objected to the project's height, layout, and blocked views.
The newly-revised plan, prepared by Carmina Wood Morris, calls for eight three-story townhouses between the Marina Park and Portside developments, a green space along Erie Basin Marina, and three, four-unit townhouse buildings along Lakefront Boulevard and Ojibwa Circle where the condominium buildings were previously proposed.
Proposed exteriors would include stone veneer, cementitious panels, and wood clad windows.
The WVAC asked for a reduction in the number of units from 31 to 28. Ciminelli is now proposing 20. WVAC wanted the townhouses not to exceed 39 feet and the project will not exceed that. WVAC requested the townhouses setback from the waterfront to expand from 100 feet to 130 feet. The new proposal is at 115 feet.
WVAC wanted landscaping changes to preserve views to the water. Ciminelli has agreed to strategically locate street trees and replace previously-proposed trees with low shrubs at the townhomes off Lakefront Boulevard and the property line of Marina Park to maintain views. WVAC requested each unit have two parking spaces and additional parking for guests and snow storage. The Ciminelli proposal calls for each townhouse to have a two-car garage, driveway parking in front of the garage, five guest parking spaces near the project entrance, and areas to store snow.
Ciminelli is expected to present its project to the Zoning Board on July 18 and the Planning Board July 30. A resident-only meeting is scheduled to be held on July 12 to review the revised plans.

INDIA | KISHANGARH
Krishna and Radha Celebrating Holi
India, Kishangarh
c. 19th century
Opaque watercolor heightened with gold on paper
15 3/4 x 11 3/4 in. (40 x 30 cm.)
Provenance: From a Private French Collection
This vibrant image depicts Radha and Krishna participating in the Indian festival Holi, a celebration that begins on the evening of the first full moon between late February and mid March and extends into the next day, marking the commencement of spring. The first night is typically known as Holika Dahan, where people gather around bonfires to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. The origin of this event begins with the evil demon king Hiranyakshapu, who considered himself supreme above all of the gods and devas. Despite this, his son, Prahlad, chose to worship Vishnu, dishonoring his father. Hiranyakshapu knew that he could not have a disloyal son, and plotted with his demon sister Holika to kill him. Holika say Prahlad on her lap before a bonfire and threw both of them in, believing that she would be protected from the fire with her magic shawl. Upon entering the inferno, the shawl blew onto Prahlad and protected him while Holika was consumed by the flames. Vishnu soon after took the form of Narasimha to vanquish Hiranyakshapu and appoint Prahlad as the rightful king. This narrative emphasises the superiority of good over evil, and the importance of devotion to the true gods.
The day after the full moon is what is commonly known as Holi, when colored pigments are thrown about and water guns and balloons douse participants. It is believed that this tradition began with Radha and Krishna, when Krishna was feeling insecure about his paramore's fair skin. When the god came to his mother with concerns about his dark blue complexion, she told him to put color on Radha's face in order to be rid of his insecurities. When he did this, the two were united as a divine couple. Hence, there is a duality to the festival of Holi: it is a celebration of love, and a celebration of good prevailing over evil.
The present work places Krishna and Radha in the center of a terrace, gazing lovingly at each other despite the colors raining down on them. Gopis surround the couple, some spraying them with water and gulal (powdered pigment) while the other cowherdesses serenade the group with musical instruments. The red colored pigment is traditionally one of the most popular colors employed in Holi, symbolizing love and fertility, adding a dimension of meaning to the scene.
The Elephant Meghabaran Goes on a Rampage
8 1/4 x 8 in. (21 x 20.2 cm.)
A large elephant named Meghabaran has broken free of his restraining chains and chases his frightened handlers up into the branches of a tree while his mahouts try to subdue him with a goad and swirling fireworks. In the middle distance tiny figures of riders on swaybacked horses are seen galloping to the hunt accompanied by runners, while on the crest of a nearby hillock, a nobleman holds court beneath a canopy. Behind the hillock emerges a procession led by a tame elephant and in the farthest distance figures are seen climbing up the path of a steep hill toward what appears to be the indomitable Kishangarh fortress built by Maharaja Roop Singh, whose name is inscribed on the verso of the painting.
The painting is remarkable for its panoramic composition incorporating several different scenes within a receding perspective, a convention that had its origins in earlier Mughal prototypes. The elephant, with his elongated body bedecked with bells and his face decorated with henna, is boldly executed in the distinctive, exaggerated Kishangarh style favored throughout the 18th and 19th Centuries. His powerful, robust form is deftly juxtaposed with the miniscule, delicately rendered figures in the background. As Stuart Cary Welch remarks, "… at Kishangarh, the most striking representations tend to be the mysterious and unique ones," S.C. Welch, Indian Drawings and Painted Sketches, New York, 1976, p. 118.
Krishna shares a drink with Radha
12 1/4 x 10 in. (32 x 25.5 cm.)
The couple meets at dusk on a terrace overlooking a canal as a boat passes in the background. This tender scene illustrates the divine love that permeates between Radha and Krishna. Radha is often considered to be Krishna's favorite gopi who was brought away from the other cowherdesses to be alone with him; here, they stand around the lovers, fanning them with a fly whisk and giving offerings. The gopis are not overcome with jealousy towards Radha, as they are grateful and filled with joy whenever they are privileged to be in Krishna's presence. Radha does not have her own drink, preferring to share what belongs to Krishna. She tugs sensuously on Krishna's robe, not only signaling her affection for the god, but also her status as his beloved. Meanwhile, across the river, crowds enjoy a palace garden, oblivious to Krishna's gathering of cowherdesses nearby. Sawant Singh – poet, patron of the arts, and ruler of Kishangarh during the mid-18th century – encouraged the signature Kishangarh style through his patronage. Some of these paintings depicting his own poems, the present example likely one of these illustrations. This scene is reminiscent of an earlier work in the collection of the National Museum in New Delhi that was inspired by the poetry of Sawant Singh, wherein Krishna presents flowers to Radha in the presence of the Gopis (Illustrated in M.S. Randhawa, Kishangarh Painting, 1980, pl. 4.). For more on Kishangarh painting, see V. Mathur, Marvels of Kishangarh Paintings, 1999.

Q: How do I get session_id() from cURL I have a few questions about cURL:

*

*Do I need to use session_start() with cURL?

*If not, how do I get the session_id() from cURL?

*When is that session_id() generated?

*What's the difference between initializing a cURL session (curl_init) and execute a cURL session (curl_exec)?

A: cURL is a library for establishing connections to servers (just like your web browser does) and has no session_id to speak of (as it's just retrieving what the client sees and session_id() would be a server-side method).
With that said, usually the session ID can be found in the headers of the request, such as the Set-Cookie header (or sometimes in the URL itself). So, if you need to determine the session I would look in to using the Cookie Jar functionality of cURL or make sure to retrieve the contents with headers so you can view the Set-Cookie value(s).
Follow-Up:

*

*curl_init is establishing a new cURL request. Basically, it creates a new cURL instance which you can then configure with any of the numerous curl_setopt settings.

*curl_exec is, based on your configuration, executing the cURL request and returning the result. Depending on your settings, this may be the actual content you're going for, a set of headers, a single status result, or some other value.

<?php
  // create a new instance of curl we can configure
  $curl = curl_init('http://google.com');

  // begin configuring that instance
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, 'PHPSESSID=12345ABCDE67890');

  // now fire off the result, with the specified cookie attached
  // (in this case, it's fetching google.com with a cookie named PHPSESSID
  // and a value of 12345ABCDE67890)
  $result = curl_exec($curl);

A: php session is transmited in cookies by default, if you get the web by cURL, and trying to access another section of the same web, then you must add session which you got from cURL

A: You may want to consider an alternative solution to your problem of handing off a user from one site to another and still maintain their 'logged in' status.
I posted a response to a similar topic you may want to check out: Session lost when switching from HTTP to HTTPS in PHP
In a nutshell, you can create a hash key, redirect the user to siteB, look up the hash key and if they line-up, log the user into siteB.

A: First, sessions and cURL are completely different and unrelated things. The session acts like a server side cache for the current user. cURL is a way of sending HTTP requests in PHP such as GET and POST. Some APIs require the use of cURL to interact with them from within your own PHP scripts/code.
The session_id() function is used to either get or set the current session id of the current user. If you want to set the session id to 7 for example, you would call
session_id(7);
session_start();

If you wanted to get the session id, you would call
session_start();
$CurrentSessID = session_id();

The session id is generated when you call session_start() unless you've set it yourself before session_start() is called.


A Tenant with arrears of over £8,000 who gunned down a Bailiff and housing officer during an eviction is facing years behind bars following a trial in London.
Andrew Stephenson aged 50, was found guilty of two counts of wounding with intent by jurors at Blackfriars Crown Court in a trial lasting 8 days.
The trial Jurors delivered a guilty verdict on charges of wounding and possession of firearms with an intent to endanger life, despite being cleared of attempted murder.
Mr Stephenson shot a bailiff and a housing officer during an attempted eviction on 3rd of July last year at a flat in Brixton London.
Wounding with intent carries a maximum sentence of 14 years and Judge John Hillen has already indicated Mr Stephensons custodial sentence will be in double figures. The defendant is due for sentencing on the 14th of March this year.
Metropolitan had obtained an eviction order against Mr Stephenson who was over £8,000 in arrears and had been attempting to enforce it.
Jurors were undecided on a charge brought for firing shots at the locksmith.
The defendant had claimed he thought the eviction party were breaking into his flat to kill him and was acting merely in self defence.


Sadly, nowhere in Britain is untouched by the modern addiction epidemic – and this is as true for Buckinghamshire, and Aylesbury in particular, as it is for the inner-city areas which most commonly come to mind when thinking about substance abuse.
Every year thousands of lives are lost to drink and drugs – legal and illegal – and the cost to those left behind and the society at large is immeasurable. However, there is help for those prepared to reach out for it: in recent years an array of facilities have been set up to treat addiction and set addicts back on the path to happiness and success.
If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, you too can find help at such a place. Read on to discover how rehab could save your life.
Residential rehabilitation – more commonly known as "rehab" – is the name given to addiction treatment carried out on-site at a dedicated facility (which is also known as a rehab), usually comprising both a detoxification phrase (often medically assisted) and an extended period of therapy.
At rehab, patients can benefit from the facility's attractive and peaceful setting, in which they can focus entirely upon their recovery, far from the temptations of daily life and their usual environment of substance abuse; crucially, rehabs are also confidential facilities, ensuring that patients need not worry that details of their condition may become common knowledge.
It is generally accepted that rehab provides the most effective treatment of addiction in terms of its ability to produce permanent abstinence on behalf of the addict, thanks to its holistic approach addressing both the immediate challenge of physical dependency (via detox) and the longer-term and more pernicious problem of psychological addiction.
Substance addiction needs to be countered by therapy which can reveal its root causes and provide patients with a range of defence mechanisms against relapse. Treatment which only addresses one aspect (typically physical dependency) of addiction is unlikely to result in a permanent recovery.
But because the consequences of addiction for physical and mental health can be catastrophic, and each day spent feeding an addiction is another day of damage to mind, body and soul. The quality of NHS addiction treatment services is very high, but unfortunately so as demand for them and waiting times can be extremely long.
If you or someone you love are wrestling with addiction, don't waste any more time: reach out today to discuss some of the private options which may be available to you. Call 0800 024 1455 to speak with an addiction specialist.
Rehab provides a peaceful, secluded, secure and confidential setting in which an addict can focus fully on their recovery without the distractions and temptations of the outside world and the environment in which they have succumbed to repeated substance abuse and addiction.
Upon entering rehab, an addict will undergo a thorough assessment before embarking on a period of detoxification supervised and assisted by highly experienced medical personnel on hand to assure that detox and withdrawal are as safe and as comfortable as possible.
After detox, patients engage in various forms of therapy – both one-to-one and group – aimed at addressing the root causes of their addiction and developing the defence mechanisms necessary to safeguard against relapse; they will also benefit from bespoke dietary and fitness plans and from an array of other resources available on site.
At the end of a stay in any quality rehab, patients will receive free aftercare for up to a year: recovery is not complete the moment a patient walks out of the facility but is an ongoing process with numerous pitfalls which rehab can continue to help the recovering addict navigate around.
What Does Rehab Cost in Buckinghamshire?
The cost of private rehab in or near Aylesbury can vary significantly by treatment programme, and depending on which of a variety of optional extras are selected.
As a rough guide, standard costs range from between £5,500 and £11,000 per month, though the cheapest rehab treatment can start from as little as £834 per week. For more details, call 0800 804 4755.
Various NHS and charity resources can be found in Aylesbury and across Buckinghamshire which can help you combat your addiction. Consult your GP about which of these resources may be available to you and would be most appropriate for your specific situation.
The primary advantage of NHS treatment is, of course, financial: private rehab comes at a cost which may be offputting to some addicts (although, set against the costs – financial and otherwise – of addiction, this investment may be comparatively minor) and NHS options are free at the point of use.
They are also very accessible geographically in that the NHS operates in every corner of the country (though waiting times vary and may be substantial). Furthermore, the NHS offers a high standard of service – though quality does vary by location.
A number of organisations exist across the country to provide assistance to recovering addicts, and some of these operate a support group model. Support groups are groups of individuals who are themselves recovering addicts – some only recently free from addiction, while others may have been clean for many years.
Here they come together at regular meetings to give and take mutual support: sharing their stories of addiction, giving advice on how to resist relapse, showing solidarity and sympathy when group members are struggling, and providing the simple companionship which can mean so much in times of difficulty and loneliness.
The most famous support group organisation, and the one on which most others are modelled, is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) which was founded in 1935 and runs on a 12-step programme of personal and spiritual development, with one of the steps being a recognition that a higher power – such as God – can assist with an alcoholic's recovery.
Narcotics Anonymous (NA), founded in 1953 and based directly upon the AA model, is the second-largest support group organisation worldwide and caters to recovering drug addicts specifically.
In a similar vein, but supporting those recovering from addictions to specific substances, are Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Heroin Anonymous (HA), Marijuana Anonymous (MA) and Crystal Meth Anonymous (CMA), all of which operate 12-step programmes.
,Narcotics Anonymous; Cocaine Anonymous; Heroin Anonymous; Marijuana Anonymous; Crystal Meth Anonymous.
One form of assistance for recovering addicts which is especially beneficial for those with extremely busy schedules is individual counselling – which can be engaged in either following attendance at rehab or other treatment as a supplementary aid to recovery.
Or potentially as a means of managing an addiction prior to engagement in a full treatment programme. Private addiction counsellors operate very much like regular psychotherapists, though with an obvious emphasis on tackling the causes and consequences of addiction.
Private counsellors offering a wide variety of different approaches to therapy can be found across the country; they can be seen by private appointment on an ongoing basis – usually weekly – and typically charge a fee per appointment. Some counsellors make themselves available for emergency access while others limit access to working hours.
Liberty House Clinic is a fully furbished 18-bed drug and alcohol detox and rehabilitation facility in a peaceful, picturesque suburban setting in the heart of Luton.
Its large, spacious grounds are the ideal place in which to address the key questions at the heart of recovery from addiction, and to embrace its fully comprehensive rehabilitation programme focused on mental, physical and spiritual well-being.
To get to Luton from Aylesbury, take the A418 (Aylesbury Road) to the A4146; take that road to the A505 (Watling Street) and from there to the A5. Stay on the A5 until it merges with the M1; then at junction 11 get back on the A505 and follow signage to Luton town centre.

HomeEnforcementFixed Penalty Policy
At its July 22, 2013 meeting, the Ethics Commission approved the following policies to establish fixed penalties for violations of certain provisions of the Campaign Finance Reform Ordinance ("CFRO"), San Francisco Campaign and Governmental Conduct Code ("C&GC Code") section 1.100, et seq. Violations of the sections identified below are generally discovered during a review of campaign finance statements or other disclosure statements and, in general require little, if any, additional investigation or other evidence to show that the violation occurred. While the policies will generally require a Respondent to enter into a stipulated order with the Commission, each Respondent remains free to exercise his or her rights under the Enforcement Regulations to move through the hearing process for any alleged violation of law.
These policies will be effective for activities related to the November 2013 election and will remain effective until modified or rescinded by majority vote of the Commission. Staff is bound by the adopted policies regarding these violations until changed by the Commission. The Commission retains the authority to approve or disapprove the stipulation and settlement amounts.
If there is more than one violation, either multiple instances of the same code section and/or different code sections, Respondent will be liable for the penalty amount of each violation. If a violation pertains to a law that requires a campaign or other disclosure statement to be amended, the amended statement must be filed prior to the stipulation's approval.
Violations of CFRO Section 1.114 by Candidates
CFRO section 1.114(a)(1) prohibits a candidate committee from soliciting or accepting a contribution from any person that will cause the contribution received from that person to exceed $500. Section 1.114(b) prohibits any corporation from making a contribution to a candidate committee. Section 1.114(e) states that if the cumulative amount of contributions received from a contributor is $100 or more, the committee may not deposit the contribution unless the committee has the following information: the contributor's full name; the contributor's street address; the contributor's occupation; and the name of the contributor's employer or, if the contributor is self-employed, the name of the contributor's business.1
Under section 1.114(f), each committee that receives a contribution that exceeds the contribution limit or that does not comply with the other requirements of section 1.114 "shall pay promptly" the excess amount to the Ethics Commission, for deposit into the City's General Fund.
The Commission approved the following schedule of settlement and penalties to govern Respondent candidates/candidate committees that violate section 1.114.
If, during a preliminary review, there is a reason to believe that a candidate committee may have committed a violation of section 1.114(a)(1), (b) or (e), Enforcement staff will notify the candidate committee of the violation(s) and advise that the matter is in preliminary review. The notice will provide the following information:
The committee has fourteen (14) days to forfeit the excess contribution or provide evidence as to why there is not a violation; and
If no such evidence is presented, in addition to forfeiting the excess contribution, an enforcement action will be initiated immediately after the fourteenth (14th) day; and
A Probable Cause Report will be issued 21 business days after the enforcement action is initiated.
If evidence is presented prior to the 14-day deadline demonstrating that there is no violation, the matter will be dismissed by the Executive Director.
If evidence is presented after the 14-day deadline demonstrating that there is no violation, the Commission will review the evidence and determine whether the matter should be dismissed in closed session.
If no exonerating evidence is presented prior to the 14-day deadline, Respondent must forfeit the amount of each excess contribution. In addition, a formal enforcement action will be initiated with the following schedule for stipulated orders:
Stipulation prior to issuance of Probable Cause Report – Respondent must sign stipulation stating that a violation(s) occurred and pay a settlement amount equal to two times the amount of the total excess contribution(s) but not to exceed $5,000 per violation (mitigation/aggravation factors may apply).
Stipulation after issuance of Probable Cause Report – Respondent must sign stipulation stating that a violation(s) occurred and pay a settlement amount equal to three times the amount of the total excess contribution(s) but not to exceed $5,000 per violation (mitigation/aggravation factors may apply).
Stipulation after the Commission makes a finding of probable cause – Respondent must sign stipulation stating that a violation(s) occurred and pay a settlement amount of four times the amount of the total excess contribution(s) but not to exceed $5,000 per violation (mitigation/aggravation factors may apply).
Violations of CFRO Section 1.114(e) by Committees
Section 1.114(e) provides that no committee – not just candidate committees – may deposit any contribution that causes the total amount of contributions received from a contributor to total $100 or more unless the committee has information regarding the contributor's full name, street address and occupation. The same procedures set forth above regarding violations of section 1.114(e) by candidate committees apply also to other committees that file reports with the Ethics Commission.
Violations of CFRO Section 1.114(a) by Contributors
Section 1.114(a)(1) prohibits any person other than a candidate from making a contribution that exceeds $500 to a candidate committee; section 1.114(a)(2) prohibits any person from making a contribution that will cause the total amount contributed by such person to all candidate committees in an election to exceed $500 multiplied by the number of City elective offices to be voted on in that election.2 On June 24, 2013, the Commission approved the issuance of a Contributor Guide. Now that this guide is available to the public, contributors are on notice that they are personally subject to the provisions set forth in section 1.114. The following schedule of settlement and penalties will govern Respondent contributors who violate section 1.114.
If, during a preliminary review, there is a reason to believe that a contributor may have committed a violation of section 1.114(a)(1) or (a)(2), Enforcement staff will notify the contributor of the violation(s) and advise that the matter is in preliminary review. The notice will provide the following information:
The contributor has fourteen (14) days to provide evidence as to why there is not a violation;
If no such evidence is provided, an enforcement action will be initiated immediately after the fourteenth (14th) business day; and
If no exonerating evidence is presented prior to the 14-day deadline, a formal enforcement action will be initiated with the following schedule for stipulated orders:
First Offense – Respondent contributor must sign a stipulation agreeing that he or she violated the law. No fine/penalty amount will be assessed. If Respondent contributor refuses to sign a stipulation, staff will issue a Probable Cause Report and follow the schedule in sections b.ii and b.iii below.
Two or More Offenses:
Violations of CFRO Section 1.116
CFRO section 1.116 sets limits on the amount of money a candidate may loan to his or her candidate committee. The limits are $15,000 for a candidate for the Board of Supervisors, the Board of Education or the Community College District, $120,000 for a candidate for Mayor, or $35,000 for a candidate for Assessor, Public Defender, City Attorney, Treasurer, District Attorney, or Sheriff.3 Under section 1.116, in addition to any other penalty, a loan made by a candidate to his or her campaign in excess of the allowable amounts is deemed a contribution to the campaign and may not be repaid to the candidate. The following schedule of settlement and penalties will govern Respondent candidates who violate section 1.116.
If, during a preliminary review, there is a reason to believe that a candidate may have committed a violation of section 1.116, Enforcement staff will notify the candidate of the violation(s) and advise that the matter is in preliminary review. The notice will provide the following information:
The candidate has fourteen (14) days to provide evidence as to why there is not a violation; and
An enforcement action will be initiated immediately after the fourteenth (14th) day; and
Stipulation prior to issuance of Probable Cause Report – Respondent must sign stipulation stating that a violation(s) occurred and pay a settlement amount equal to 20 percent of the maximum fine per violation, or $1,000 (mitigation/aggravation factors may apply).
Stipulation after issuance of Probable Cause Report – Respondent must sign stipulation stating that a violation(s) occurred and pay a settlement amount of 50 percent of the maximum fine per violation, or $2,500 (mitigation/aggravation factors may apply).
Stipulation after the Commission makes a finding of probable cause – Respondent must sign stipulation stating that a violation(s) occurred and pay a settlement amount equal to 80 percent of the maximum fine per violation per violation, or $4,000 (mitigation/aggravation factors may apply).
Violations of CFRO Sections 1.161, 1.161.5, or 1.162
Several sections of the CFRO require written disclaimer statements that, among other things, identify who paid for the mass mailing (section 1.161), electioneering communication (section 1.161.5), and campaign advertisement (section 1.162. These printed disclosures must be in at least 14 point type and in a color or print that contrasts with the background so as to be easily legible to the intended public. The following schedule of settlement and penalties will govern committees that violate the disclaimer and disclosure sections of the CFRO.
If, during a preliminary review, there is a reason to believe that a committee may have committed a violation of any part of section 1.161, 1.161.5, or 1.162, Enforcement staff will notify the committee and advise that the matter is in preliminary review. The notice will provide the following information:
The committee has fourteen (14) days to provide evidence as to why there is not a violation; and
Stipulation after issuance of Probable Cause Report – Respondent must sign stipulation stating that a violation(s) occurred and pay a settlement amount equal to 50 percent of the maximum fine per violation, or $2,500 (mitigation/aggravation factors may apply).
Stipulation after the Commission makes a finding of probable cause – Respondent must sign stipulation stating that a violation(s) occurred and pay a settlement amount equal to 80 percent of the maximum fine per violation, or $4,000 (mitigation/aggravation factors may apply).
Factors in Mitigation and Aggravation
The Commission will consider each mitigating or aggravating factor to determine how much weight should be given to each factor. For example, an intent to conceal, deceive or mislead will be considered much more egregious and weigh more heavily against a Respondent, so much so that the existence of mitigating factors may not offset it. The following lists of mitigation and aggravation factors are not exhaustive.
Mitigation Factors:
Absence of any intention to conceal, deceive, or mislead
Violation was negligent or inadvertent
Violation was isolated and not part of a pattern
No prior record of violations of law with the Commission
The degree to which the Respondent cooperated with the investigation
The degree to which the Respondent demonstrated a willingness to remedy any violations (only applicable if a agrees to a stipulation prior to issuance of Probable Cause Report)
Respondent filed all required disclosure statements and/or amendments within 14 days of initial contact by Enforcement staff
A disclosure containing the required information appeared on a mass mailing, electioneering communication, or campaign advertisement, but the disclosure was in font size that was not 14 point
Aggravation Factors:
Evidence shows an intent to conceal, deceive, or mislead
Violation was deliberate
Violation was part of a pattern
Prior record of violations of law with the Commission
The degree to which the Respondent was uncooperative with the investigation
The degree to which the Respondent failed to demonstrate a willingness to remedy any violations
Respondent failed to file required disclosure statements and/or amendments within 14 days of initial contact by Enforcement staff
1 Section 1.114(d) states that for purposes of the contribution limits, the contributions of an entity whose contributions are controlled by any individual must be aggregated with contributions made by that individual and any other entity whose contributions are directed and controlled by the same individual. Because violations of section 1.114(d) are not easily discovered during a review of campaign disclosure statements, they are not included in this settlement and penalties scheme. Instead, such violations will be handled via the normal course of handling violations pursuant to the Commission's Regulations for Investigations and Enforcement Proceedings.
In addition, section 1.114(c), adopted by the voters as part of Proposition O in 2000, sets limits on the amount of contributions a person may make to non-candidate committees that make expenditures to support or oppose candidates. On September 20, 2007, a federal district court issued a preliminary injunction enjoining enforcement of section 1.114(c); since then, the Commission has not enforced the section. The court has since issued a permanent injunction prohibiting the City from enforcing section 1.114(c).
2 Please note that the Ethics Commission will no longer enforce the limit in Section 1.114(a)(2) in light of recent United States Supreme Court jurisprudence. See Ethics Commission Resolution adopted May 28, 2014; McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, 752 U.S. __, No. 12-536 (S.Ct. Apr. 2, 2014).
3 Publicly-financed candidates must agree not to loan or donate to their campaigns, in total, more than $5,000 of their own money; nor may they accept any loan from anyone else. CFRO § 1.140(a)(1)(D). The settlement and penalties structure discussed here do not apply to violations of section 1.140(a)(1)(D).
If you are unsure if the Ethics Commission is the appropriate agency to file your complaint, speak to an investigator by calling 415-252-3100.
Registration fees, late fees, penalties and settlements can be paid online using an e-check, debit card, or credit card.

CSB Calls on Oil Industry to Eliminate Atmospheric Blowdown Drums Similar to Equipment at BP Texas City Refinery; Urges New OSHA "Emphasis Program" throughout U.S.
Houston, Texas, October 31, 2006 - On a unanimous vote of 5 to 0, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) today issued new safety recommendations calling on the U.S. oil industry to improve safety practices for refinery pressure relief systems, eliminating the type of atmospheric vent that caused the hydrocarbon release and explosions that killed 15 workers and injured 180 at the BP Texas City refinery on March 23, 2005.
The accident occurred during the startup of the refinery's octane-boosting isomerization (ISOM) unit, when a distillation tower and attached blowdown drum were overfilled with highly flammable liquid hydrocarbons. Because the blowdown drum vented directly to the atmosphere, there was a geyser-like release of highly flammable liquid and vapor onto the grounds of the refinery, causing a series of explosions and fires that killed workers in and around nearby trailers.
The announcement followed by one day the release of new preliminary findings in the CSB's ongoing, independent federal investigation of the accident. The Board's final report is expected in March 2007.
The first recommendation calls on the American Petroleum Institute (API), a leading oil industry trade association that develops widely used safety practices, to change its Recommended Practice 521, Guide for Pressure Relieving and Depressuring Systems. The revised guidance should warn against using blowdown drums similar to those in Texas City, urge the use of inherently safer flare systems, and ensure companies plan effectively for large-scale flammable liquid releases from process equipment.
Further recommendations call on the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to establish a national emphasis program promoting the elimination of unsafe blowdown systems in favor of safer alternatives such as flare systems. OSHA should also emphasize the need for companies to conduct accurate relief valves studies and use appropriate equipment for containing liquid releases, the Board said. A national emphasis program results in a concerted inspection and enforcement effort around a specific safety hazard.
CSB Chairman Carolyn W. Merritt said, "Unfortunately, the weaknesses in design, equipment, programs, and safety investment that were identified in Texas City are not unique either to that refinery or to BP. Federal regulators and the industry itself should take prompt action to make sure that similar unsafe conditions do not exist elsewhere. Taken as a package, the new CSB safety recommendations we issued today will provide for effective guidance, outreach, and regulatory enforcement to reduce the risk of similar tragedies in the future."
Lead Investigator Don Holmstrom noted that the ISOM unit blowdown drum at the BP Texas City refinery had a number of safety problems. "This drum simply wasn't large enough to hold all the liquid released from the distillation tower if it flooded. Not only could the blowdown drum not hold enough liquid, but it could not assure safe dispersion of flammable vapors through the vent stack," Mr. Holmstrom said. He added that safe dispersion of flammable vapors would require a high exit velocity that could never be guaranteed when handling multiple discharges through a complex piping system.
That design weakness resulted in unsafe conditions in Texas City prior to the March 23, 2005, accident. The CSB documented eight previous releases of vapor from the same blowdown drum from 1994 to 2004. In six cases, dangerous flammable vapor clouds formed at ground level but did not ignite; in two other cases, the blowdown stack caught fire.
Prior to the 2005 accident, BP operated 17 blowdown drums for disposal of flammable materials at its five U.S. refineries. BP has since pledged to eliminate all the drums and use safer alternatives, such as flare systems. A properly designed flare system includes an adequately sized vessel for containing liquids and a stack with a flame for safely burning flammable vapors, preventing an uncontrolled fire or explosion near personnel. Flares are the most commonly used disposal system for flammable releases in refineries.
In 1992, the Texas City refinery, then owned by Amoco Corporation, was cited by OSHA for operating an unsafe blowdown drum. However, Amoco succeeded in having the citation and fine withdrawn, asserting that the drum complied with accepted industry standards embodied in API Recommended Practice 521. Today's recommendation from the CSB would strengthen that guidance document so that it would explicitly warn against such unsafe blowdown systems.
The CSB is an independent federal agency charged with investigating industrial chemical accidents. The agency's board members are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. CSB investigations look into all aspects of chemical accidents, including physical causes such as equipment failure as well as inadequacies in safety management systems. The Board does not issue citations or fines but does make safety recommendations to plants, industry organizations, labor groups, and regulatory agencies such as OSHA and EPA.

Staffel is a mountain of Bavaria, Germany.
Limburg an der Lahn (officially abbreviated Limburg a. d. Lahn) is the district seat of Limburg-Weilburg in Hesse, Germany.
Limburg lies in western Hesse between the Taunus and the Westerwald on the river Lahn.
The town lies roughly centrally in a basin within the Rhenish Slate Mountains which is surrounded by the low ranges of the Taunus and Westerwald and called the Limburg Basin (Limburger Becken). Owing to the favourable soil and climate, the Limburg Basin stands as one of Hesse's richest agricultural regions and moreover, with its convenient Lahn crossing, it has been of great importance to transport since the Middle Ages. Within the basin, the Lahn's otherwise rather narrow lower valley broadens out noticeably, making Limburg's mean elevation only 117 m above sea level.
Limburg forms, together with the town of Diez, a middle centre (in terms of Central place theory) but partially functions as an upper centre to western Middle Hesse.

Evening Headlines: Fabio Jakobsen takes his first pro victory | John Degenkolb sidelined by bronchitis | Chris Froome expected to start Tour of the Alps
Fabio Jakobsen takes his first pro victory at the semi-classic Noker Koerse
Fabio Jakobsen took his first pro victory today at the semi classic Noker Koerse. Quick-step – Floors led from the front on home soil in Belgium, chasing back a threatening breakaway that escaped with 35km to go, before shutting down attacks from on form cyclo-cross world champion Wout Van Aert and Team Sky's Luke Rowe. Patrick Lefevere's men in blue set Jakobsen up perfectly for the sprint, as he as rounded Pascal Ackermann on the uphill cobbled finish to a comprehensive victory.
John Degenkolb to miss Milan Sanremo as a result of bronchitis.
John Degenkold has been ruled out of Milan Sanremo due to a continued fight with bronchitis. The 29 year old German pulled out of Paris-Nice on stage 6 last week as a result of chest problems, which also plagued the end of his 2017 season. Giacomo Nizzolo, the other leading sprinter for Trek-Segafredo has also been pulled off the starting list for the race as a result of knee pain which saw him drop out of stage 4 of the Tirreno-Adriatico. Nizzolo's 2017 was also plagued by problems as tendinitis prevented him from racing a full calendar at top form. Trek will replace Degenkolb with American Kiel Reijnen and Nizzolo with Boy van Poppel.
Chris Froome is expected to continue his preparation for the Giro in the Alps.
Chris Froome is due to start the Tour of the Alps next month as he continues his run up in form towards this year's Giro d'Italia. Froome who is targeting a historic Giro-Tour double in 2018 has yet to show his best this season, being eclipsed in the Tirreno-Adriatico by team mates Geraint Thomas and Michal Kwiatkowski, who came third and first respectively to Froome's 33rd. The Tour of the Alps is seen as a sharpener for the Giro and has been a successful race for Sky who have provided the winner in the last three seasons.

Q: Coordinates not consistently reversed (lon,lat interpreted as lat,lon) in Leaflet I have a polygon layer fed from GeoDjango + PostGIS as GeoJSON.
Its original CRS is 3908. It's being drawn as a GeoJSON layer in Leaflet in CRS 4326 (I figure it is transformed on the fly by Django GeoJSON serializer) with the standard OSM tile basemap.
On my development server the working code is (in Django template):
var basemap = L.tileLayer('//{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png');
var geojson_lyr = L.geoJson({{geojson_data|safe}});
var m = L.map('map').fitBounds(geojson_lyr.getBounds());

basemap.addTo(m);
geojson_lyr.addTo(m);

However, on a production server, this code results in a mirrored polygon being drawn far away from where it should (south Arabian Peninsula instead of Bosnia and Herzegovina), which is in fact the exact position of the original polygon with lon-lat values reversed, so I have to fix it with coordsToLatLng option like:
var basemap = L.tileLayer('//{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png');
var geojson_lyr = L.geoJson({{geojson_data|safe}}, {
  coordsToLatLng: function (coords) {
    return new L.LatLng(coords[0], coords[1], coords[2])
  });
var m = L.map('map').fitBounds(geojson_lyr.getBounds());

basemap.addTo(m);
geojson_lyr.addTo(m);

Does anyone know what could be the reason for this different behaviour between local and production server, as I would like to have the same Leaflet code in development and production environments?
Environments on local and remote machines are the same as far as Django packages go.
The only differences are PostGIS and geospatial libraries versions.
On remote:

POSTGIS="2.5.1 r17027" [EXTENSION] PGSQL="94" GEOS="3.7.0-CAPI-1.11.0 3.7.1" PROJ="Rel. 4.9.3, 15 August 2016"
GDAL="GDAL 2.2.4, released 2018/03/19" LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="0.12" LIBPROTOBUF="1.2.1" RASTER"

A: The reason for all problems was in GDAL. When I installed GDAL version 2.2.4 to the remote machine everything went smoothly (only it took me a while to figure out how to install PostGIS with geolibraries without a root access, which is why I tried to find another solution).
