There's no shortage of traditional pregnancy announcements, from photoshoots of the pregnant mama holding her blossoming belly to the more lighthearted shots that usually involve chalkboards and references to buns in ovens. While on vacation in "the city of love," a trip they planned before finding out they were expecting, this couple hit the sweet spot between the serious and silly genres of pregnancy announcements by creating a unique YouTube video.
Krupa and Varun Hemraj kiss and hold hands by the Louvre for the classic, romantic part, but they also incorporate letter balloons, the more playful part. And not wanting to be tied to one creative medium, the couple included both a short video clip and a beautiful photo montage.
As Krupa and Varun show, you don't have stick one tone or aesthic in your pregnancy announcement -- in fact, get as eclectic as you want. You might not have the budget to fly to Paris, but you can easily pick up a few balloons and record something similar with a smartphone in a local park or museum. And if you don't want to choose between photo and video, email a YouTube link to your family and friends and plop some printed photos in the mail.
As long as you're capturing your and your partner's taste and excitement, it'll be the best announcement ever.

Tripepi Smith Business Analyst Melanie James recently completed the Public Policy Making Academy II at University of California Irvine (UCI), Division of Continuing Education, a five-day program stretching over five weeks focusing on providing the basics on public policy and governance issues within local government.
The program consisted of topics or issues that cities deal with on a day-to-day basis including taxes, land-use planning, affordable housing, economic development, transportation, pensions, homelessness, and sober living. Each subject was led by 3-4 experts of each field. Though each subject could entail its own 5-week course, the Public Policy Academy delivered a high-level overview of information to help public servants or interested individuals gain understanding of the laws, practices, process and regulations that are involved in local government.
The UCI Public Policy Academy is held twice a year, in the Spring and Fall semesters and welcomes local government employees, individuals interested in local government, and persons running for city elected office. The course is offered in collaboration with the Association of California Cities – Orange County (ACCOC).
"Investing in academic resources, such as the UCI Public Policy Making Academy, allows our talent to continue providing excellent service and a competitive advantage to our clients because we live and breathe local government." said Tripepi Smith President Ryder Smith.

This was done intentionally in jQuery.event.dispatch based on #6911 to normalize a cross-browser behavior. However it seems inadvisable for us to do it, at least for some set of events. We can easily revert the change but it will cause other bug reports.
I am thinking we may want to ban only click events with the idea that those are the most common events that should not appear on a disabled elements. The browser should never generate focus or blur on a disabled element so we shouldn't need to worry about them. Custom events or ones like mouseover would still occur, as would a program-created focus event because heaven forbid we should ever fail to fire a focus handler for an element that can't possibly receive focus.
Relatedly (I assume), this breaks mouseenter / mouseleave event delegation. I'm trying to handle them on the *parent* of a disabled input control, but they don't always fire. This seems like a definite bug. Repros in Chrome and Firefox.
#11793 is a duplicate of this ticket.
Fix #11382. #11764. Only prevent click events on disabled elements.
We don't want a disabled link/button to register delegated clicks, but we do want events like mouseover or custom events.
This is a compromise, there is no perfect solution. Well, the browsers could be consistent about direct vs. delegated events but *that's* not gonna happen.


As teens enter the final stages of high school and prepare for coming independence, it's the perfect time for parents to dive into a good book, especially one that offers illumination, solace or at least a good laugh to ring out in houses that will soon be much, much quieter.
These four recent books will appeal to different types of empty nesters.
Author Susan Morse credits her rescued greyhound, Lilly, with providing canine company when she needed it most. With an actor husband (David Morse) whose career keeps him traveling for long stretches and three children departing for college in rapid succession, Lilly became the one constant in her life.
Morse's memoir places a sweet, yet needy, Lilly in the center of the action, staying by her side while the house spins with change. Morse's twin boys, high school seniors, apply to college. They graduate, leave for school, one transfers. Meanwhile, her eldest child, a daughter, begins her career.
With her tender description of Lilly's transformation from skittish to settled, Morse offers readers a chance to learn both about rescuing Greyhounds (The Greyhound Project) and about the breed's wonderful qualities as companions perfect for inhabitants of empty nests.
For most parents, facing the empty nest is a major life milestone replete with reflection, nostalgia and joy, but rarely levity. Candace Allan's book is different in that she never loses her sense of humor as she writes about the transition, even as she reveals the pains and conflicted emotion she experienced.
Allan takes the reader through her family's journey from the high school and college years, right up to the pregnancy of her daughter, the eldest of four children. She writes beautifully, with perfect pitch, using maternal love and longing as a major theme. She touches the rawest nerve of parenthood — saying goodbye — as children leave for college and study overseas. Her family comes apart geographically but stays close emotionally. Through it all, it's laugh-out-loud funny.
But don't let her wit and humor fool you: This is a serious book about one mom reluctantly coming to grips with the arrival of adulthood, four times over. Any parent dreading the empty nest, or simply finding themselves with mixed emotions about the transition, will relate to Allan's tale.
One beautiful moment from TEXT ME, Love Mom comes when Allan's eldest daughter shares her thoughts about going away, thoughts that would warm any parent's heart. Zoe is ready and will thrive in her new surroundings, yet when her mother leaves after helping her move, she feels it deeply: "Before she got into the cab she told me, 'Be good,' like she always does. We hugged again and I felt her start to cry, something I hadn't seen much of — yet. Caught off guard, I said right away, 'Don't cry, Mom.' She tried to say, 'It's my party and I'll cry if I want to,' but she stumbled over the words.
Becky Blades' beautiful volume, Do Your Laundry or You'll Die Alone, is the perfect gift of wit and wisdom for any empty (or nearly empty) nest mom to share with the high school, college or young adult women in her life. The message inside is one of empowerment, understanding and optimism which, in sum, make it an endearing little manual for life, and who doesn't need that?
As the years unfolded, Blades kept a journal of all she longed to impart to both her daughters, eventually numbering 270 straight-from-the-heart life lessons. What takes this book from merely clever to uniquely charming is her originality and talent in creating illustrations that perfectly compliment the writing.
You will be in awe of her singular talent and will want to buy multiple copies. First, read your own and soak up the sentiments. Next, give a copy to your daughter, and every other high school and college coed you care about.
When we are deep in the parenting trenches, our time filled with carpool, the grocery store and kids' homework, who among us hasn't fantasized about escaping somewhere, anywhere? Yet, once our youngest child departs, few of us abandon our houses, possessions and day-to-day routines for the great unknown on the road. If you are tempted by the awakening of your own long-dormant wanderlust, Going Gypsy: One Couple's Adventure from Empty Nest to No Nest at All can serve as a primer.
Meet David and Veronica James, who winnowed 25 years of family possessions down to 16 storage boxes, sold the house and drove off to their nomadic adventure in an RV they found on eBay.
As soon as they settled their third, and youngest, kid onto campus to begin his freshman year of college, they hit the road, recording their adventures on their website, GypsyNester.com, which became the foundation of their book. Most of the travel posts read like a guidebook for sampling both the familiar (eg. Yellowstone) and the offbeat. In fact, the James deliberately seek out "roadside weirdness" as they criss-cross America.
David and Veronica alternate narrating chapters, bringing two different voices and sensibilities to their view of their grand empty nest tour. David, a musician and former DJ, spent years of his professional life on the road and, in some ways, is returning to his roots. He delivers his observations from behind the wheel in folksy terms, using nicknames for people, places and things, giving the reader a sense that he hasn't a care in the world.
Veronica, on the other hand, has been deeply involved in her children's lives, working at their school in St. Croix, the island they moved to from Nashville where she had created a successful web design business. Her anguish at seeing her brood depart and the questions she poses about "what next" are relatable ones for all empty nesters.
Hitting the road is one way to find out.

When you're a recent grad with a miniscule income, a sublet apartment, and no bills in your name, convincing credit card companies to throw you a bone isn't always easy. Combine those stacked odds with the fact that it takes an advanced math degree to understand APRs, and getting plastic can become a long, drawn-out affair.
Given the popularity of Second Life and the developing problem of slave laborers who collect virtual gold in videogames to sell on eBay, this card should not really come as a surprise—just another example of the commodification of online worlds, right? Still, the notion of making real-life purchases to earn extra time in your alternate life as "Glong, the war wizard of the troll hobbit" still strikes me as slightly insane.
The Capital One "Card Lab" allows you customize various features and rewards. Pretty good idea, and not necessarily absurd. However, the freedom to upload a photo and put it on your credit card could clearly be misused. It seems kind of cool to have a picture of your girlfriend naked on your card when you're shopping on eBay, but then you take her out to dinner and it becomes a questionable choice.
The Kentucky Derby evokes images of blue-blooded aristocracy, mint juleps, and horses with ridiculous names. Credit cards fit nicely into this world. But who likes horseracing so much that they want to exclusively earn rewards on equestrian merchandise and gambling credits? An utter lunatic, that's who.
Similar to the Derby card if you replace the mint julep purchases with Bud Heavies. You can also get Indianapolis Motor Speedway and NASCAR cards (NASCARds!), all of which make me feel slightly alienated from the country in which I live.
Discounts at 7-11? Sounds great! Too bad the your pot dealer doesn't accept plastic—the "munchies" would essentially be on the house!
According to its website, Mack's Prairie Wings is "America's Premier Waterfowl Outfitter." So definitely get this card if you are planning to hunt your own Thanksgiving turkey and teach your dog to chase ducks out of undergrowth.
I don't even know what the rewards are on the infamous "Black Card," but apparently it allows you to "buy anything." Combine the allure of omnipotent spending with the fact that it's name-checked in almost as many rap songs as Cristal, and it begins to sound like a "must-have" item. Then you realize that you have the spend three months of rent ($2,500) just for the privilege of using it. Oh well.
Bonus: Casino Cards. Many non-Trump-affiliated casinos and resorts offer cards, such as the Total Rewards Visa by Harrah's. This system makes sense to me—if you think of credit card rewards as "free money" (perhaps the wrong approach), then why not just gamble them away immediately?

Green light for huge plant in Midlands that will recycle one billion plastic bottles a year
Jobs in waste
Conor Ganly
news@leinsterexpress.ie
A plastics recycling firm has got the green light to build the first phase of a €20 million project that it says will see up to 1 billion bottles recycled in Laois annually at the first so-called bottle-to-bottle plant in Ireland.
Laois County Council has given conditional planning permission to Integrated Plastic Manufacturing Ltd, which trades as Panda, to build the round-the-clock facility in the National Enterprise Park which borders the Clonminham Industrial Estate.
In its application, the company told Laois County Council that there will be one 6,108 sq metre, 15 metre high facility on the site. When operating it will process up to 35,000 tonnes of waste plastic bottles and aluminium drinks cans.
The bottles will be cleaned and shredded at the plant before being removed to plastic extrusion plants. The cans will be compacted before being exported for smelting.
A waste water treatment plant is also planned as the bottles will have to be washed. Magnets will operate to seperated contaminated cans from clean cans.
The company said the facility would operate on 24/7 basis with 40 employees working on a shift basis. The company had originally announced 100 jobs.
THROWBACK THURSDAY: Take a trip down memory lane with this gallery of pictures from the Offaly archives
A submission to the council said the project is phase one of €20 million investment for post consumer bottle and drinks can recycling. The applicants said it will be the first bottle-to-bottle plant in Ireland.
There was one objection. It was made by John and Susan Buggie. They said the new plant will be near their home and devalue it as it will be intrusive and unsightly. The said the waste water and recycling would produce foul odours while the extra traffic would cause pollution.
More below aerial picture of the site which connects to the M7 motorway at Togher via a new road built by Laois County Council.
Waste firm Panda which announced in December 2020 that it had signed an agreement to build the plant. Panda said it was collaborating with Trinity College Dublin and Science Foundation Ireland on the project as part of a circular economy application for the European Green Deal.
It claimed that the the new facility is projected to be operational by the end of 2021 and will process up to one billion plastic water and soft drinks bottles per year.
It said 20,000 tonnes of plastic bottles used in Ireland are currently exported to the UK and Europe for processing and the plant in Portlaoise will have the capacity to serve the entire Irish market, eliminating the need to export.
Public counters at Offaly County Council offices have reopened from today
Panda said at the time it was in advanced negotiations with a number of major soft drinks manufacturers to collect, sort and process the material into new bottles, Ultimately, many of these bottles will be collected using the zero emissions electric vehicles, facilitating a 'closed loop' recycling process.
Panda is part of the Beauparc utilities group. Des Crinion, Managing Director Recycling at Beauparc spoke about the important role to be played by the new plant.
"As a nation we are becoming increasingly aware of the need to improve our performance with regard to sustainability, waste generation, plastics and the circular economy. The processing of plastic waste produced in Ireland and its use now to produce new products helps keep precious resources in circular use," he said last December.
The Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications and Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan TD also welcomed the development when it was announced last year.
"It's a win for the environment, a win for jobs, a win for the region, and an example of how the green economy can be a source of employment in the future," he said.
Beauparc provides domestic and commercial waste management; renewable energy supply; recycling collection and processing; logistics; green fuels and energy recovery.

Травневий наступ польських військ

Передслово
У другій частині квітня повели наступи на всіх відтинках, причому в районі II корпусу вони 15 квітня здобули Чортівську Скалу й Лисиничі під Львовом. Не припинила польської офензиви телеграма Падеревського 17 квітня, вислана під напором Найвищої Ради Антанти до варшавського уряду, з вимогою припинити бої на галицькому фронті. 17 квітня поляки відтиснули українські частини на південь від Любіня Великого й Скнилова, а 20 квітня захопили Басівку, Глинну, Солонку, Сокільники, Зубру, Пасіки-Зубрицькі, Бульки й Цішки. 29 квітня відтиснули поляки дивізію отамана Долуда й 4 бригаду з-під Брюхович, Лисої Гори, Малехова, Дублян, Сорок, Підборець, Миклашева й Підберізець, що відсунуло кільце української облоги Львова поза лінії досяжності артилерійського обстрілу.

Одночасно з погіршенням ситуації УГА на Західному фронті, ускладнилася вона на сході. Більшовики, розколовши при кінці березня армію УНР на дві частки, з яких одну примусили перейти до Румунії, а другу на Волинь, наблизилися до Збруча. Начальна Команда УГА побачила себе примушеною створити новий, східний фронт, що зорганізований в терміновому порядку під командою отамана Ляєра в районі Підволочиська, загородив більшовикам подальшу дорогу на захід.

Підготування сторін
25 квітня у Варшаві підписується контракт між урядами Польщі та Франції про відправлення до першої французької військової місії під керунком генерала П. Анрі для організування, вишколу та постачання польської армії.

На Галицькому фронті поляки мали 31 тисячу багнетів і 45 батарей артилерії (154 гармати). За даними польської розвідки, Галицька армія у ті дні мала 60 тис. бійців і 50 батарей артилерії або 200 гармат — але без набоїв та амуніції. Згідно з розпорядженнями по гармашах, забезпеченість стрільнями у артилеристів становила 3 стрільні на 1 гармату. У період відступу 4-ї Золочівської бригади від околиць Львова, батареї артилерійського полку прикривали відхід, прицільним вогнем стримували атаки поляків. Коли на І корпус полковника О. Микитки навалилися вишколені корпуси армії генерала Ю. Галлера, що прибула із Франції, 5-й гарматний полк вдало відбивав ворожі атаки, прикривав відступ своєї бригади. Артгрупа «Глибока» разом з куренями Гірської бригади була відрізана від головних сил III корпусу й змушена перейти чеський кордон, де її інтернували. З інших батарей, які діяли на цій ділянці фронту, створили 8-й гарматний полк на чолі з сотником Осипом Царевичем, якого невдовзі замінив сотник О. Бранднер.

30 квітня Галлер прибуває до Львова для особистої рекогносцировки, його урочисто зустрічає польське населення міста. За його планом польська армія мала наступати з лінії Ковель — Володимир-Волинський — Грубешів — Тишовці (Томашівський повіт) у загальному напрямі на Луцьк, Броди і далі — на Бережани, Тернопіль, Бучач з виходом у глибокий тил галичан. Польський міністр закордонних справ Станіслав Грабскі свідомо приховав від парламенту Речі Посполитої отриману з Парижа депешу про те, що Антанта ініціювала мирні переговори між поляками та українцями. Відтак польський Сейм прийняв рішення про наступ.

Начальна Команда Галицької армії знала про польські приготування. Начальник штабу полковник В. Курманович, при погодженні з М.Омеляновичем-Павленком, розробив план відступу до Карпат і 27 квітня цей план був озвучений на військовій нараді. Проте він був відкинутий президентом Є.Петрушевичем і урядом на чолі з С.Голубовичем. Це викликало обурення і заяви про відставку від Омеляновича-Павленка і полковника Курмановича. Відставку не було прийнято, але головним стало те, що штаб армії перед важливими боями не мав чіткого плану, а обидва воєначальники у майбутніх боях більше намагалися зберегти армію, а не територію.

13 травня уряд ЗОУНР прийняв пропозицію міжнародної комісії генерала Л.Боти — проте польський уряд її відкинув; Рада державних секретарів в Станіславові ухвалює постанови про загальну мобілізацію до Галицької армії. Проте через загальний наступ поляків ці постанови не вдалося виконати.

Власне наступ
15 травня шість добре озброєних польських дивізій розпочали наступ по всьому фронту. На Волині польські вояки натрапили на впертий опір галичан. Але 16 травня трапилася катастрофа — Холмська група генерала О.Осецького Армії УНР була оточена у Луцьку через те, що правий фланг УГА залишився неприкритим. Начальна Команда віддало наказ І корпусу відійти за річку Стир і своїм східним крилом прикрити шлях до Бродів. На той час і штрафна служба взяла участь у боях на передові. Так, Ясенівська та Боратинська «штрафні» воювали під Львовом, одна Брідська сотня — під Белзом, а ще одна знаходилася в складі залоги Дубна.

Травнева офензива польського війська, яка проломила фронт, мала успіх лише тому, що проти Української Галицької Армії була кинута відмобілізована і прекрасно узброєна армія генерала Галлера — і теж згідно з розпорядженням Пілсудського й всупереч волі Антанти. Також Румунія 24 травня спільно з дивізією польського генерала Л.Желіговського виступила проти галицьких територій, за кордон Дністер- Нижнів -Ворохта. Навесні 1919 у зв'язку з наближенням частин Червоної Армії до Збруча виник Східний фронт УГА. Група отамана Алоїза Ляєра, що оперувала в районі Підволочиська, затримала для своїх потреб провізоричний панцерний потяг армії УНР, що відступав із Наддніпрянщини. Очолив його четар Квасниця; панцерка не раз підтримувала успішну атаку стрільців, під час однієї з них було відбито Підволочиськ. Подальша участь у бойових діях обмежилася проведенням артилерійських нападів на східний берег Збруча.

16 травня польські війська окупували Сокаль, Кристинопіль і Великі Мости. Панцерний потяг «Ч. 2» було скеровано на допомогу 8-ій бригаді, проти якої оперували головні сили з'єднання генерала Івашкевича. Залога панцерки діяла без підтримки піхоти. За селом Воютичами потяг вступив у артилерійську дуель з батареєю противника. Гармаші хорунжого Омеляна Верхоли подавили польську батарею. Однак цей успіх, не підкріплений діями інших частин, не міг зупинити загальну катастрофу. Ввечері 16 травня українці залишили Самбір, причому висадили в повітря залізничний міст через Дністер, не дочекавшись відвороту панцерного потяга. Внаслідок цього залога змушена була його знищити. У Дрогобичі екіпаж пересів на свою стару панцерку «Люся» і продовжував воювати, однак спроба начальної команди УГА зупинити польський наступ на рубежі ріки Бистриці успіху не мала.

17 травня командарм Омелянович-Павленко наказав негайно відправити до Дрогобича 8 куренів і 8 батарей. Наступного дня генерал особисто відправився до Дрогобича. Втілити у життя план, направлений на втримання нафтового басейну, не вдалося. Після короткої паузи вранці 18 травня польське військо прорвало фронт в районі Дублян, через що галицькі підрозділи мусили відступити до північних околиць Дрогобича.

Вночі з 18 на 19 травня 4-та польська дивізія піхоти генерала Александровича, наступаючи від Хирова, зайняла Борислав і Дрогобич, в яких українці залишили непошкодженими всі копальні нафти і нафтові рафінерії, а познанці генерала Конаржевського, випадом з-під Комарна і Рудок, розбили 7-му Львівську бригаду А. Бізанца та зайняли Миколаїв над Дністром. Того ж таки дня познанці форсували Дністер і почали марш на місто Стрий, яке зайняли 20 травня, на велику радість місцевих поляків.

Ввечері 18 травня війська 3-го корпусу без комунікування з Начальною командою (що надалі польськими джерелами трактувалося як панічний відступ), бачачи неможливість оборони, залишили Дрогобич. Залізнична колія виявилася заблокованою, тому палаючу «Люсю» залишили на міському двірці, де її захопили поляки. Зі Станіславова надійшов ще один провізоричний панцерний потяг, який обсадила залога «Люсі». Він підтримував оборону 3-го корпусу на лінії річки Свічі, після прориву фронту відійшов до Калуша. Там стрільці знищили залишені напризволяще склади військового майна та вирушили до Станіславова. Дорога виявилася забитою покинутими потягами, відступати не було жодної можливості, тому залога втретє знищила свою панцерку і приєдналася до піхотинців. 19 травня польські сили зайняли Дрогобич.

У половині травня зламалася лінія фронту, почався відступ, по лінію Серету. Відступ був непідготовлений; цивільна влада і Начальна Команда не мали виробленого плану, зміняли накази та напрямок концентрації відступаючої армії мало не щодня. Внаслідок цього при загальній деморалізації та пасивному спротиві ворожого елементу серед залізничників, евакуація була надзвичайно затруднена. Багато майна було залишено, більшість лікарів-чужинців покинуло армію, армія зосталася майже без військових лічниць. Поранених і хворих треба було здавати до цивільних шпиталів, але їх кількість теж постійно зменшувалась, при частинах наростали обози хворих.

19 травня Начальна Команда віддала наказ про відворіт за Стрий та Дністер. 20 травня Омелянович-Павленко наказав на тилових пунктах організувати загони для виловлювання дезертирів, формування та відправлення їх знову на фронт. Для посилення дисципліни було заборонено вживання алкогольних напоїв, також поступив наказ реквізувати при відступі кавалерійські коні та формувати кінні частини по курінням і кінні сотні по бригадам.

21 травня батальйон капітана Родзинського форсував річку Стир під Берестечком і після короткого бою зайняв місто. 22 травня українські військові підрозділи згідно з наказом Начальної Команди залишили Броди. Відхід частин прикривав загін з 200 стрільців сотника Королевича. 1 червня польські сили зайняли весь Брідський повіт.

Головною проблемою був брак набоїв: «Корпуса вимагають рушничних набоїв — не маю нічого» — доповідав Омелянович-Павленко. 22 травня Начальна Команда отримала лист від коменданта 8-ї румунської дивізії Я.Задіки, з вимогою віддання їм залізниці Коломия — Доляшин — Мармарош Сигот. 24 травня румуни зайняли залізницю та місто Коломию. Того ж дня поляки відновили наступ, захопивши стратегічно важливу переправу через Дністер на схід від річки Свічі. Начальна Команда наказала відійти на північ від Дністра: І корпус в район Теребовлі, ІІ — район Чорткова, ІІІ — район Товстого.

Радянська частка в українсько-польській війні
В середині травня, прорвавши оборону військ УНР під Ямполем, більшовики здійснили рейд по тилах. 20 травня 3-тисячний загін черовноармійців майже без бою оволодів Кременцем. Цей напад був настільки несподіваним, що українська залога міста не змогла вчинити опору і розбіглася.

24 травня після кількаденних боїв Рівне і Здолбунів захоплені Червоною армією, Дієва Армія УНР відходить на захід.

Армія УНР та Військо Польське
Ще 18 травня штаб Армії УНР вислав депутацію до польського командування — щодо ставлення про заключення перемир'я між польською та українською арміями під проводом С. Петлюри. Поляки на ведення переговорів відповіли принциповою згодою. 1 червня вислано військову делегацію генерал-поручника Дельвіга з дорученням досягти нейтральності Польщі, визначити демаркаційну лінію і виробити план спільних операцій проти більшовиків. У вислідку переговорів польська армія поволі посувалася за частинами Армії УНР, що відступали на Волинському фронті, тоді як фактично могла б принести непоправну шкоду. Просунувшись на лінію пізніших її кордонів (до 1939 року) на Волині, вона спинила свій рух на схід. Таким чином, командування Української Армії провізорично ліквідувало свій західний фронт проти поляків, хоч фактично перемир'я не було підписано. Запілля її було до певної міри забезпечено.

24 травня польське командування на звернення військової місії УНР полковника Левчука припиняє бойові дії та погоджується на переговори. Тоді ж полковник Б.Курдиновський, що мав напівофіційні повноваження від уряду УНР, підписує з прем'єром Польщі Ігнаци Падеревським військово-політичну угоду — УНР в обмін на зречення прав на Східну Галичину та західну Волинь — на користь Польщі — мала отримати політичне визнання та військову допомогу. Хоча угода не була реалізована, але завдала значної шкоди відносинам УНР та ЗУНР.

Завершення
25 травня більшість урядових інституцій ЗОУНР (в тому числі УНРада) та військо відступили з Станіславова. Того ж дня місто повністю опанували збройні відділи, утворені місцевим польським населенням. Відразу на свої місця з'явилися комендант міста, повітовий староста та урядники, що свідчило про добре підготовлені таємні організації. Залишаючи Станиславів, українці, щоб не покидати мешканців на поталу мародерам і грабіжникам, передали владу місцевому Польському національному комітету. Організована комітетом міліція, покликана підтримувати порядок у місті до прибуття регулярних частин польського війська, не обмежилася цим. Встановивши кулемети на залізничних платформах, поляки навсібіч розіслали імпровізовані бронепотяги, займаючи з їх допомогою навколишні села. 27 травня один із них вирушив до Єзуполя. 28 травня до Станіславова вже прибули вояки поручника Мачека і 9-й полк уланів зі складу дивізії генерала Александровича. Під їхнім натиском 120 «гуцулів» поручника Юрківа змушені були відступити, вояки УГА змушено знищили міст через Дністер в Галичі.

Команда польського бронепотяга «Смок» заволодів 25 травня складом амуніції в Букачівцях. Наступного дня в руках його залоги опинилася станція Бурштин, а 27 травня «Смок» вирушив далі з метою опанувати мостами у Галичі й Єзуполі.

26-27 травня польські частини вступили у Галич, Калуш й з'єдналася з румунами в районі сіл Кропивник — Струтин — Спас.

27 травня полковник Курманович інформував Головнокомандувача УГА генерала Олександра Грекова, що ІІІ корпус одержав наказ «знищити основно всі переходи на Дністрі». Таким кроком Начальна Команда розраховувала не лише вивести з-під удару ворога пошарпаний невдалими боями ІІІ корпус — позбавлені переправ, одразу 2 польські дивізії зі складу операційної групи генерала Вацлава Івашкевича — 3 дивізія легіонерів і 4 дивізія піхоти — на певний час перетворювалися у пасивних спостерігачів подій, які розгорталися б на лівому березі Дністра.

29 травня на нараді в Бережанах президент Є. Петрушевич офіційно призначає генерала О.Греківа Начальним Вождем. Командармом залишався Омелянович-Павленко. Це не змінило загальної ситуації на фронті — 1 червня поляки увійшли в Бережани, 2 червня — до Тернополя. Після цього Галицька армія відірвалася від польських військ і вже 4 червня поляки не мали бойового контакту з УГА. Галицькі частини зосередилась у трикутнику між річками Дністер і Збруч та залізницею Чортків — Гусятин.

Протягом дводенного польським силам наступу вдалося зайняти Волинь і створити загрозу тилам УГА. Успіх поляків спритно використала більшовицька Росія. Її XII армія розгорнула наступ на Кременець - Рівне. Залишки Наддніпрянської армії відступили на Тернопільщину. У ході травневої офензиви УГА зазнала великих втрат — за два тижні її чисельність скоротилася на 10-12 тис. бійців.

Останні бої на Тлумаччині відбулися 5-6 червня: комендант повітової жандармерії Іван Наконечний разом з однодумцями прагнули затримати ворога, та співвідношення було явно не на їхню користь. Протрималися вони декілька годин, і всі 90 стрільців в тому бою загинули.

На Івано-Франківському цвинтарі знайдено поховання 147 вояків УГА. Саме кладовище у 1980-83 розрівняли і перетворили у «місце для відпочинку трудящих».

Academy Tweaks Toon Rules
Chris Grove
The Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts announced yesterday that it's changing its definition of an animated feature film to further clarify the requirements for that category, in light of the emerging technologies now being used in the production of some movies. An animated feature film is now defined as a motion picture of at least 70 minutes in running time, in which movement and characters' performances are created using a frame-by-frame technique. In addition, a significant number of the major characters must be animated, and animation must figure in no less than 75 percent of the picture's running time.
Also changing are the rules defining who gets producer credit on features. Two years ago when Bob Yari was denied a producer credit on the Oscar-winning Crash all hell broke loose. Yari raised $7 million to get the Paul Haggis pic made. Because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had recently enacted rules to limit the number of producers of record as far as Oscar was concerned, Yari was persona non grata on Oscar Night.
Now the Acad has a few changes in store. While the producer rule continues to state that the nominees will be those 'three or fewer producers who have performed the major portion of the producing functions,' the Producers Branch Executive Committee recommended, and the Board approved, wording that allows a possible exception to that limit. The committee now has the right, in what it determines to be a rare and extraordinary circumstance, to name any additional qualified producer as a nominee. 'The committee and the governors believe strongly that it's very important to have a limit on the number of producers who can be nominated and potentially receive an Oscar,' says Acad chief (and film producer) Sid Ganis.
Academy Award nominations in all categories will be announced on January 22, 2008. The 80th Academy Awards presentation will be telecast live by the ABC Television Network on Sunday, February 24, 2008.

            }
            delete[] * arr;
        }

I'm trying to delete the arrays before using NEW again, to avoid memory leak.
In the first time it works as i said but the second time.....
There are a lot of printing references for me, so just ignore, it's just a small part of my first C++ project.
Thanks!

A: Well this is one error
*bArr[i] = new char(strlen(*mArr[i]) + 1);

it should be
*bArr[i] = new char[strlen((*mArr)[i]) + 1];

Note the * and [] operator precedence is wrong as well as the type of brackets.
You make this error two times, addString and copyString.
Here's a similar error
            delete[] * arr[i];

should be
            delete[] (*arr)[i];

But actually this code could be written with one less level of pointers
    void deleteArr(char** arr, int stringIndex)
    {
        cout << "string index value: " << stringIndex << endl;
        for (int i = 0; i < stringIndex; i++)
        {
            delete[] arr[i];
            cout << "DELETE " << stringIndex << endl;
        }
        delete[] arr;
    }

But there's a reason this kind of code is frowned upon.
Unless you've been told that you must write this code using these techniques give up now. std::string and std::vector are what you should be using for this task.

Activism in a Global Age, Theme
Humanizing Women's Rights
by Caroline Savello:
In late January, pro-choice supporters celebrated the 34th anniversary of Roe v. Wade at Yale by raising awareness on campus of reproductive rights. Featuring panels and film screenings, the campaign highlighted the momentous 1973 Supreme Court decision as an incontrovertible advancement for women in the United States. Yet by emphasizing the benefits that the decision had for women's rights, the week's events strayed from current trends in the approaches and vernacular of the modern women's rights movement. In the wake of 1970s-style feminism and its post-feminist backlash in the ensuing decades, women's rights activism has changed the language it invokes, moving toward a vocabulary that highlights universal, rather than exclusively female, human rights.
The website of the Women's Rights division of the organization Human Rights Watch spells out this new conception of women's rights in its mission statement. "Millions of women throughout the world live in conditions of abject deprivation of, and attacks against, their fundamental human rights for no other reason than that they are women," it reads. The realization that women suffer systematically and specifically because of their gender is nothing new, but the reclassification of their grievances as a part of the human's rights agenda certainly is.
The distinction is important to U.S. activists because human rights are more legally compelling. Numerous United Nations (UN) conventions have issued human rights resolutions that have the internationally binding force of legislation. In the end, the campaign for human rights can claim a more entrenched legal and judicial system than the women's rights movement can, particularly considering that the United States has refused to ratify some of the most important treaties relating to women's rights, including the UN's Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
"For girls to be denied access to an education, it's a human rights abuse," said Amy Richards of The Third Wave Foundation, a U.S. women's rights activist organization. "We've learned from advances that international organizations have made using this model, and, even though Third Wave will never work globally, we can pick up this trend from international events."
Richards said that the language behind her organization's activist framework has come specifically from recent reproductive rights successes in Ireland and Chile. Both countries have reversed restrictive abortion rights policies by appealing to their government's sense of the sanctity of human rights. According to Richards, gender discrimination is no longer just sexism but is now recognized as a violation of human rights.
The fact that U.S.-based women's rights advocates have changed the way they articulate the importance of women's rights is commonly acknowledged. Kate Nielson, a campus organizer for the U.S.-based activist organization Feminist Majority, agrees that work within the U.S. has changed its approach from one of women- centric rhetoric to demands for basic human decency. "We definitely try and frame women's rights as human rights," Nielson told The Yale Globalist.
Women's rights activists in the U.S. are increasingly putting effort into drawing connections between American women and the abuses suffered by women internationally. This internationalization of domestic women's human rights activism was driven in part by a 2001 political decision that dramatically hindered reproductive rights worldwide. On his first day in office, President George Bush decreed a global "gag rule" that has since denied all U.S. funding from any international healthcare organization that counsels on abortion as a method of family planning. And as government infringement concurrently threatens abortion rights in the U.S., the connection between international and domestic activism becomes stronger.
"The things that women internationally are struggling with are mirror images of things that women are struggling with in the United States," said Yifat Susskind, communications director at the international women's rights activist organization MADRE. MADRE has since acted against the gag rule as a human rights violation, arguing that illegal abortions, unwanted pregnancies, and lack of access to condoms kill thousands of women each year.
The women's human rights framework has redefined the way in which activists worldwide gain support and influence decision-makers. The human rights claim carries much greater political weight than female-centric critiques of maltreatment. Ultimately, the ability to define shortcomings in international healthcare policy, abortion restrictions, or lack of female education, as human rights abuses may bring new and unexpected successes to the women's rights movement.
But at the same time, the movement away from feminist rhetoric may signal even greater challenges facing modern women's rights. As these activists adapt to prevailing opinions that feminism is passé and women's needs cannot be addressed transparently, one can wonder whether gender neutralization actually reflects a setback rather than an advancement for female-specific causes worldwide.

Liu Denggao on China's plans to promote sustainable trade
In April, the Paulson Institute launched a China-South America Sustainable Soy Trade Platform, working with the Chinese government and businesses to promote legal, environmentally sustainable production of soy in South America. Liu Denggao, Vice President and Senior Agri-Economist at the China Soybean Industry Association, explains why he believes the China market is ready to promote sustainable trade.

Are Chinese companies ready to get serious about sustainable sourcing?
The Chinese people have always disagreed with the idea of "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs." As the Chinese government is increasingly aware of the severity of ecological damage, industrial pollution and chemical and biological contamination, some Chinese companies have made preliminary sustainability plans to support responsible production through responsible sourcing. In April 2015, the Chinese government issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Eco-civilization. New government rules that punish companies for damaging the environment have made all major companies more aware of environmental responsibility – as well as the business risk involved. More and more consumers are starting to ask, where does my product come from? Is it safe for me to eat? Chinese companies are taking steps to ensure their products are environmentally responsible and to ensure food safety for consumers, which is in fact a responsible approach for their own long-term growth and development, as well as a reflection of the leadership of major companies.
Many businesses might say that environmental protection really is the work of governments?
When we talked about environmental protection in the past, we often focused on the role of the government and the state in the protection of the environment and resources by means of law. That is undoubtedly necessary and correct, and the government must be relentless in its efforts for strict enforcement.
However, policies and laws alone are not enough. Recently, "No Trading, No Killing", the message from a public service announcement, has become very popular in China, which shows that the market as a force for wildlife conservation cannot be ignored. Business and the market must also play a role in the conservation of the world's rainforests and wetlands as well as biological diversity. If the market is full of products produced in an illegal and predatory way, the irresponsible procurement of such products by companies is, in fact, in support of the predatory production – and then what is the point of conservation? I believe that nature conservation and humankind's sustainable development can be achieved only if the government and business work together to ensure there is no market for the products produced in an illegal and predatory way through both law enforcement and responsible procurement practices of companies. The sustainable soy project between China and South America represents the right direction for development. Through this initiative, we will establish a close partnership with the industry associations and farmers in Brazil and Argentina to work together to contribute to the conservation of the world's environment and resources as well as the sustainable development of the soybean industry.
What is the greatest challenge to promoting sustainable sourcing in China?
China prioritizes the sourcing of agricultural products produced in a responsible way, reflecting the positive influence of Chinese companies on promoting sustainable development. However, there are a variety of challenges.
First of all, due to the low production costs of deforestation and the quick effect of indiscriminate use of chemical and biological products to improve yield, the soy products produced in this way have market advantage in the short run. Responsible production requires ecological conservation and maintenance of product quality that often increase production costs, and thus may be at a disadvantage in comparison to the irresponsibly produced products.
Secondly, although ecological damage and climate change have drawn the attention of people around the world, there are still differences in the behavior of countries and companies as driven by their own interests. Companies tend to give top priority to their immediate commercial interests. I hope that the sustainable soy trade platform will enable market leaders in China to develop consensus and aligned strategy in supporting sustainable production and responsible procurement of soy.
Thirdly, there is a lack of widely accepted standards, certification, customs inspection and other market operating systems to ensure there is enough supply of certified or sustainably produced soy to meet the huge market demand in China.
To address the above challenges, it is necessary for the stakeholders in China and soy producing countries to reach a consensus, some responsible companies to take the initiative in exploration and the legislative and law enforcement forces to work closely with the market forces. Chinese companies are willing to collaborate with major soy producing countries in South America to explore new development path, in order to protect the environment, secure food supply and achieve sustainable development of the global soybean industry.

"Uniting knowledge and action"
Calligraphy by Li Keqiang, Premier of China

Plenty of business enterprise people use Twitter but not a soul has seriously been answering the concern how you make your Twitter next additional attentive to your account so that they will observe you and support improve your account. After all if you only devote your time and also have and amass a horde of Twitter followers but they do not do any within your bidding than you are only losing your time and efforts. Hence the question is How can you make them a lot more responsive to your twitter account? Twitter, In spite of everything, has become the excellent medium to promote on the net stuff.
Now why is the fact?
A lot of people get on Twitter to take a look at daily life, promote organization, market a product, publicize a Unique they would like to offer and also to let folks know what is going on and to increase there income by having revenue from the manufacturer, item, companies, enterprise or company.
So How would you tackle and how do you use that Electricity which they have to actually do your bidding? One of many things that I've think of is usually that I purchase my Twitter followers, I take advantage of a business or maybe a company called Purchase Actual Tiwtter Followers and I mostly use it to extend my followers to those that truly are active. Heaps of men and women may well register to follow you but they by no means Tweet and so they in no way do everything, They simply sit there and that isn't very good in your case.
You will need to have the ability to have a good minor near-knit community. You also don't need to contain the people today that tweet each individual five minutes, they've automated tweets tweeting their very own stuff since they tire out your viewers.
Just what exactly Do you need?
You desire people that, much like you, tweet once or twice on a daily basis, who tweet information and who will tweet hyperlinks and who are going to use twitter ethically and enhance the Strength that's in your Twitter.
To make sure that's go primary which i do.
The next move: I term my tweets in a means that they are gain oriented or exciting and I will get about one hundred clicks out of a gaggle of a few thousand individuals which is very significant.
What are they intending to do once they simply click? They are going to the web page that you choose to ship them. Are they going to do a thing there? Nicely my working experience isn't any, they don't seem to be planning to do anything there but they are going to simply click to go there.
So what I Commonly do: I use this Electricity and these clicks to purchase me a thing which means I don't hope a second I be expecting only the very first click on which implies I don't assume them to subscribe and I do not anticipate them to order something.
I could count on them to participate in some giveaway or some contest but I haven't attempted that still, but can envision that It might be a sound way to go.
So As well as sending any person else's advertising to my actual mailing list I also ship it out some situations each day to my Twitter followers and in this way I continually get bigger click numbers in my swaps with out truly making a gift of e mail followers and exposing them to Other individuals's products and solutions. I've needed to train my Twitter followers to actually have the ability to get 2-300 clicks in per day. It is possible to ship your tweets out at TweetsandRetweets.com, and send out messages to countless numbers or maybe many opportunity shopper day by day This is often what I do and it definitely pays off.
This way you write-up the tweet or retweet and program it to head out just about every 3-4 several hours.
In this post I've confirmed you ways I built my Twitter followers extra conscious of my instructions, how I use it.
Twitter is a great way to Obtain your products and solutions or makes promoted, Twitter is actually a political Instrument, Twitter is a stars strategy for currently being in touch with their audience. The a hundred and forty figures you might be allowed for just a concept: is it a obstacle to specific all you need to say? An advantage to zero in over the incredibly essence in the message? A means to market and promote your things? A neat Instrument for sharing links to appealing articles or blog posts, books, products and solutions and what-have-you?
A method to increase your Online existence?
two. Twitter is really a cocktail occasion or a meeting with the watercooler or waterhole, choose your choose it "nutritional supplements your social lifestyle, even though Fb seeks to exchange it"
three. Twitter "ignores the boundaries of class, age and locale" and allows you to abide by what celebrities and politicians say.

Virginia Wage Payment Act: Wage Theft Laws Enhanced
September 23rd, 2020 at 10:16am
Virginia recently enacted significant amendments to its wage payment laws. These amendments under Virginia's Wage Payment Act ("VWPA") are the first of its kind and provide enhanced protections for employees who are victims of wage theft by creating a private cause of action for employees to sue their employers to recover unpaid wages owed. Additionally, the new laws expand the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry's ("DOLI") authority to investigate wage complaints.
As background, the VWPA provides employees with numerous employee protections such as requiring employers to establish regular pay periods, providing restrictions on deductions from wages, requiring salaried workers to be paid at least once a month, and requiring that hourly workers be paid twice a month. In addition, the VWPA requires that "upon termination . . . an employee shall be paid all wages or salaries due . . . on or before the date on which he would have been paid for such work had his employment not been terminated." See Va. Code § 40.1-29 (A). The VWPA provides for stiff criminal penalties for employers who violate the section. For example, for violations less than $10,000, the employer could be found guilty of a misdemeanor. For violations over $10,000 or for subsequent convictions, the employer could be found guilty of a felony and subject to prison time.
Although the VWPA provides many employee protections, the VWPA did not provide a meaningful way for employees to enforce these provisions. Previously, VWPA claims were considered administrative and could only be brought by the DOLI in which the Commissioner had complete discretion in deciding whether to initiate proceedings to enforce compliance on behalf of the employee. (Generally, the DOLI brought employee claims based on a breach of contract action stemming from the employment contract. See Mar v. Malveaux, 732 S.E.2d 733, 738–39 (2012)).
However, effective July 1, 2020, employees can bring a private action against their employers who fail to pay wages owed under the VWPA. Specifically, the new law provides that employees can bring an action individually, jointly, or with other aggrieved employees to recover payment of wages owed. See Va. Code § 40.1-29 (J). If the employee prevails, in addition to recovering unpaid wages, the employee can recover an additional equal amount as liquidated damages, prejudgment interest from the date the wages were due, and reasonable attorney fees. (For example, if the employer unlawfully withheld $8,000 the employer is liable for an additional $8,000 in liquidated damages plus other costs and fees as mentioned above.)
If the employer knowingly fails to pay wages, the employee is entitled to triple the amount of wages due plus reasonable attorney fees and costs and the imposition of a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 per violation. An employer is knowingly in violation if the employer has actual knowledge that the employee is owed wages and the employer deliberately or recklessly disregards the truth in remitting wages. (Note: the employee does not have to prove specific intent to defraud.) An employee has three years to bring a claim for unpaid wages under the VWPA.
It is likely the new legislation and availability of attorney fees and treble damages will make Virginia a focal point for wage theft claims and lawsuits.
Increased Authority to Investigate Claims
The DOLI's authority was broadened due to the enactment of Va. Code § 40.1-29.1, allowing the DOLI to investigate claims in accordance with the VWPA's new wage theft protection laws. Under this new law, while reviewing a wage complaint, the DOLI has authority to investigate whether the employer has failed to pay wages to other employees. If the Commissioner finds the employer is in violation of § 40.1-29, the DOLI can initiate proceedings on behalf of those employees as well.
New Provision Pertaining to Construction Contractors
The new wage theft laws also apply to construction contracts entered into after July 1, 2020. Specifically, Va. Code § 11-4.6 provides that general and subcontractors are jointly and severally liable for wages owed to the subcontractor's employees if: the general contractor knows the subcontractor is not paying his employees wages; the project is a project other than a single-family residential project; and the value of the project is more than $500,000. The statute defines that general contractors are the employers of the subcontractor's employees for purposes of the wage theft laws. The code gives fair warning to all general contractors to review their indemnification contract provisions immediately in the event that their subcontractor fails to pay wages to his employees!

Lynn Canal plane crash victim credits faith, family with 'miraculous' survival
Jillian Rogers, KHNS - Haines
Martha Mackowiak returned to Haines on Sunday after spending two weeks in a Seattle hospital. She, her husband Mike, son Nik, and family friend, Victoria Hansen were on board the private plane that crashed into Lynn Canal on Nov. 4. Martha suffered severe hypothermia and cardiac arrest after swimming to shore. She had to be resuscitated twice. She credits a series of fortunate events, and overwhelming support, with her survival and speedy recovery.

Sitting at her kitchen table on a recent chilly morning, Martha looks healthy and happy. She's moving a little slowly, and she says she's tired most of the time, but otherwise she feels good.
During our conversation, Martha used the word 'miracle' several times. She says on that day, a few weeks ago, as soon as she knew the plane was in serious trouble, she started praying and didn't stop.
"Michael said I was within 10 feet of the shore when I dipped under. I was swimming mostly on my back and I kept turning around to see how much farther I had to go. There was bigger swell than I expected and that kept washing over me. That whole time I was praying 'Lord, I'm not ready to die. Not yet. Please.'"
The flight started normally that day, she says. A little cloudy in Juneau, but nothing out of the ordinary. Martha and Nik were on their way home from a college visit in Idaho and were set to take the ferry back to Haines, but Mike offered to pick them up in their plane. Partway through the flight, the plane stalled.
"It was just like 'oh my goodness, this is it, we're going to go down.' And he was looking for, hoping for, a beach landing. And when he turned around, he could see an area that had potential but just conditions with the wind and everything, he was quick to recognize that we weren't going to make that beach. And so he set it down as best as he could and I've been told it's a remarkable thing to be able to set a plane down in those conditions on the water. I know we skipped a couple times and I know we flipped, but I don't remember realizing that we flipped. I just remember the water coming in and we just all got out. It felt like it was within seconds. He had us open the doors right before we landed because apparently sometimes the frame can interfere with that if there's impact."
She says, remarkably, everyone on board remained calm. Her husband gave them instructions as the plane headed for the water.
"He said 'Have your hand on your seatbelt so that as soon we're down you can get unbuckled' and we just pulled right out. So we all got out and we crawled right out onto the wing, Michael was the last one out, his foot was stuck. So that was probably an instant of a panic kind of feeling when it looked like his foot was stuck, but he was able to pull his foot out of his shoe. And we could tell the plane wasn't going to sit there very long, it was already tipping down. So we just launched off the wing to swim for shore. And I thought, probably naively, 'There's the shore, we can make it.'"
They all swam toward shore. Martha was just shy of the rocky beach when a wave overtook her. She says her son Nik jumped in and pulled her out. Mike resuscitated her when they made it to shore.
"I've been told that I looked like I was dead. I was pale and blue and it sounds pretty horrifying. But, I didn't see any of that."
She says she remembers waiting for help on the beach, but says at no point during the ordeal did she think about, or feel, the cold. After an hour or so, a Temsco helicopter was the first to arrive. But the nightmare continued. Once at Juneau's Bartlett Regional Hospital, she had a cardiac episode and had to be revived again. She also had to be intubated and was given warm fluids intravenously to get her core temperature up. Doctors then put her under to operate.
"Apparently there was a lot of pressure building in my abdomen from the salt water and gases and everything in there and it was putting so much pressure on my lungs and heart that it didn't look good for me. So that's when they decided to open me up and relieve that pressure. And it's that cut that probably startled me awake, I'm guessing. It was very painful how they were pushing around in my organs and they had a suction hose that was getting stuff out. And then they prepared me for the flight for to Harborview. So, I have that bit of a memory, of the pain of it and being paralyzed. I didn't know that I was paralyzed, but being somewhat aware and being like 'Don't they know that I'm awake and can feel this.' I was trying so hard to move my hand or wiggle my foot or something, but I couldn't."
Then Martha was Medevaced to Seattle. She says she vaguely remembers being on the plane, which made it there quickly because of strong tailwind.
"The pilot said he'd never seen tailwinds like that, we got there in an hour and 40 minutes. That's just another one of those little details."
It took her a couple of days of recovery in Seattle before she understood what was happening. She says the outpouring of support and prayers continues to astound her. From friends and family far and wide, to the nurses and doctors who took care of her in Juneau and Seattle, and the Temsco pilot that rescued her off the beach. Horrifying as it was, Martha says the ordeal has turned out to be positive in many aspects.
"One thing that is just very sobering to me is that this story is not just a sweet, little story about how God loves us. This story is the bedrock of the Christian faith. This is death and resurrection. And that's a tremendous gift that I've been given. I'm not sure what it means for me but there's something there is just astounding to me. It clearly was miraculous."
While she may have lingering effects from the hypothermia, Martha is expected to make a nearly-full recovery.

Wise advice from scholar Isidore of Seville, likely written by the Archbishop in the early 600s. While writing multi-volume, encyclopedic works like his Etymologiae are worthy pursuits, I gravitate towards audio and video media myself, although I certainly do my share of writing, both professionally and for personal enjoyment. I crowdfund these endeavors (and would love your support), but also offer mentoring, teaching, speaking, and consulting services on a fee-for-service basis. You can learn about these latter offerings below. Contact me if you would like to explore possibilities or talk details.
Some of my richest and most transformative learning experiences emerged from mentoring relationships. If you are interested in learning to navigate challenging conversations about social justice, rekindle a connection to your ancestry, or explore place-based culture and philosophy and the many hard and soft skills that go with it, reach out and we can talk details. As a mentor I can help you achieve agreed-upon goals without judging or ridiculing your stumbles, fumbles or foibles along the way. My mentorship programs can be in-person or online, and offer the sort of private, one-on-one relationship that might be just what you need to jumpstart your learning.
I have taught at the college level for years, and have designed courses spanning the realms of food, energy, and environmental systems for both undergraduate and graduate audiences. Whether teaching in the classroom or online I make use of diverse and engaging pedagogies and consistently earn solid course evaluations. If you work at an educational institution and would like me to teach a course in your department, contact me and we can talk. Outside of traditional college and university settings I teach classes and workshops on the above topics as well as various health and wellness practices, the human gut microbiome, wild edible and medicinal plants, voluntary simplicity, ancestral recovery, and place-based living skills. Reach out if you want me to organize a workshop or class in your area.
I have given talks at many conferences, symposia, and other events. You can find links to and watch a few of them on my media page, although many others were not recorded or were not made available to the public. I enjoy public speaking and particularly enjoy putting my storytelling skills to work, as I did when recording this parallel narrative destined for YouTube. Reach out to me if you would like to have me speak at your event.
Since 2003 I have consulted on a range of projects spanning energy, food, and environmental systems. I have partnered with businesses, non-profits, and government agencies at the local, state, and federal level, and have worked with international clients as well. These days I am most interested in projects at the nexus of systems analysis and environmental and social justice, though have assisted past clients with curriculum development, environmental analyses of various sorts, energy audits, life cycle assessment, data analysis, and science communication. Contact me if you are interested in partnering on a project.

Q: Modal.Header closeButton event registration Note
This is not about the custom button placed inside the footer. It is about the closeButton placed inside modal header tag.
I am using Modal in React.js and following this article: https://react-bootstrap.github.io/components/modal/
It seems like there is no way to register click event for closeButton in header according to the documentation.
Can you suggest something?
Code
<Modal.Dialog>
    <Modal.Header closeButton>
        <Modal.Title>Modal title</Modal.Title>
    </Modal.Header>

    <Modal.Body>

Modal body text goes here.

    </Modal.Body>

    <Modal.Footer>
        <Button variant="primary">Save changes</Button>
    </Modal.Footer>
</Modal.Dialog>

A: According to docs:

https://react-bootstrap.github.io/components/modal/#api

This way the handleClose will set the show flag.
Other than that handleClose can include any other logic too.
UPDATE
closeButton in Modal.Header is just a boolean prop.
You can check the source at Github.
closeButton: PropTypes.bool, Line
const defaultProps = {
  closeLabel: 'Close',
  closeButton: false,
};

Going one level deeper ModalHeader actually uses AbstractModalHeader Line
