Can A New Bayraklı be Able to Solve the Problems of the City?
Öykü Özkan Tuna, who is an Urban Planner in Harmoni Real Estate Appraisal addressed Bayraklı Urban Transformation Project which is carried into effect in line with the objectives of New City Center Project in İzmir.
With globalization, the country borders lost its significance and this situation caused a change development of the cities, futures and also expectations. The City concept, which overrides the country borders and country individuality, constituted a competitor policy and there become an urban competition environment in the global level. Every city with its competitor characteristics joined the cut through competition in order to get a share in the global capital. The concept which came to the fore in this process and came in the possession of new favorite concept is urban transformation projects concept. With globalization, the fact that the expectation from cities are changed, provided an opportunity environment for the regions to be reconsidered as a competitor which are defined as old pieces of the cities that may not be able to keep pace with globalization, imaged as subsidence, slum areas. Urban renewal areas rouse from the basis of reconsidering these areas in respect to social, cultural, economic and physical dimensions. However, "urban expectations" which is a basilar for urban transformation projects, caused a hesitant ground for the development structure of these projects: expectations of living public from the city, expectations of city management from the city.
Bayraklı, which is located in the third biggest city of our country, İzmir and which is the biggest results of wrong migration policies, takes its place among the cities which competes in global structure trying to take its share. In İzmir, which joined the competition by Expo process, urban renewal projects became essential for city agenda. İzmir is among the cities which is exposed seriously from the wrongly managed migration policies in country general. Main residents in the city rapidly surrounded by shanty houses and there became a significant development in the city squatting. The first and the biggest slum region became Bayraklı district. Bayraklı district, in fact, has a structure that can be the face of İzmir concerning to its location. This advantageous structure caused by its location provided a huge potential for globalizing and competing İzmir and with New City Project and Bayraklı Urban Transformation Project which is a complement project, an utterly different Bayraklı became the main topic.
Bayraklı Urban Transformation Project, which is a complement of New City Project, plans to turn İzmir into the center of service sector with New City Project. As part of the project MİA (Central Work Area) legend brought to the region and skyscraper started rapidly to rise in the city as an inescapable structure of global system. Bayraklı Urban Transformation Project, which is a complement of New City Project, is an extensive big-scale urban renewal project including the Fuat Edip Bakısı, Alparslan ve Cengizhan districts which makes approximately 600.000 meter square area. In the scope of the project, basically, it is planned to achieve the clearance of structures in slum style and replace them with modern sites and apartments. It is underlined that green areas are planned to be quadrupled with green corridors, playgrounds, and open area playfields. The most impressive subject is emphasized with moving walk Platform which is armed with viewing platforms. By using the benefit of public squares of Smyrna Door, Akdeniz Door, Homeros Door, taking their part in the city identity, the city is tried to show a new face, to acquire a remarkable and competitor qualification with "city centers" gulf side, and moving walk platform surrounded by "viewing platforms" in project are entrance points. Furthermore, it is emphasized that, with Moving Walk Platform, human-sea relation is going to be improved. It is stressed that this platform is going to be supported by sun panels meaning that the environment and clear energy production is going to be provided.
The Socio-Economic Dimension of the Plan is Insufficient
When we examine the new functions, physical, cultural and social structure brought to Bayraklı district with Bayraklı Urban Transformation Project according to two main perspectives which urban renewal projects take as a basis that we mentioned firstly, it seems good to emphasize clear energy and positive advertisement face. However, it can be seen that the problems like people's economic problems, working potentials, cultural interaction remain unanswered. The subjects that should be discussed among the others are the creation of places that appeal only a part of the city people in social and economic terms, addition of a socio-economic dimension to human-sea interaction. Another aspect that is needed to be thought again is the identity losing risk with just physical level analyses of the important points under the competing image of city which are Smyrna and Homeros Squares taking place in the identity and image of the city.
In addition, it is obvious that the green areas in the project scope which are quadrupled in order for the city to take breath is going to be insufficient besides the planned highrise apartments in the region that creates intensity. Increasing the intensity of the region out of proportion will cause insufficiency of urban infrastructure and urban services. As a result, unfortunately urban transformation projects of İzmir are done to take its share in the global capital with impatience as soon as possible and by ignoring essential dynamics of the city, identity and not examining the zoning data in detail. For this reason there projects takes its place among the projects which are aimed at constructing ordinate city places and getting short term unearned income. As in the example ofİstanbul Historic Peninsula, where damages to morphological structure of the city and basic identity elements are done, it should be realized that the main power of the cities depend on the city identity and city image. I should also be understood that the city identity and city image can developed as a means of the characteristics brought by the city history and knowledge maps, not as a means of crowned projects.

Haryana BJP leader who offered Rs 10 crore for Bhansali's head quits party post

Who is the Indian women entrepreneur Ivanka Trump felicitated in her speech
Law Commission all set to go through family laws of all religions
Amu resigned as chief media coordinator of the Haryana unit of the party
He took a different line from the BJP chief minister of the state on the Padmavati row
Amu yesterday trained his guns on the CM, who he said is "humiliating" the Rajput community
NEW DELHI: The rift is widening in the Haryana BJP over the Padmavati row.
The BJP leader who offered a Rs 10 crore "reward" to "behead" Deepika Padukone and Padmavati director Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Wednesday resigned as chief media coordinator of the Haryana unit of the party and called his colleague and Haryana CM ML Khattar "so arrogant".
The leader, Suraj Pal Amu trained his guns on Haryana CM and BJP colleague ML Khattar, who he said is "humiliating" the Rajput community, which is up in arms against the film Padmavati for alleged "inaccuracies" in the depiction of the lead character who's a Rajput princess.
"With a heavy heart I have resigned from the post I had in BJP. I am pained at the behaviour of Haryana CM. I have never seen a BJP CM so arrogant who doesn't respect party workers and community representatives," said Amu to ANI.
Amu took a different line from the BJP chief minister of the state on the Padmavati row. Khattar, distanced his party from Amu's comment and also said any decision on the screening of Padmavati in the state would be taken only after the Central Board of Film Certification takes a call on the film. Amu, though, wants the film banned in Haryana.
Amu criticised Khattar yesterday as well, after the latter skipped a meeting on Tuesday with representatives of the Karni Sena, a group claiming to represent the Rajput community and one that has been at the forefront of protests against the film.
"There was no problem in meeting the Rajput leaders who are on a warpath for the past fortnight. He should not have humiliated them and should have taken the memorandum from them,'' said Amu to TOI.
He also said that the issue would be taken up with the RSS cadre as well as Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"I am ready for any kind of sacrifice for this. But I will never tolerate any kind of disrespect as a community man as well as a worker," said Amu.
Meanwhile, the chief minister's office denied it had given a time slot to representatives of the Karni Sena. State BJP president Subhash Barala didn't comment on this supposed skipped meeting but he did say that Amu has been slapped with a show-cause notice by the party.
Earlier, for his "reward" comment, a case was registered against Amu, for 'criminal intimidation' on a complaint filed by a Bhansali fan.

Responsible Party May Recover All of Its Response Costs For a Voluntary Cleanup Under CERCLA
By: Byron P. Gee
The Ninth Circuit rules that parties that voluntarily clean up sites, have a right to seek payment for all of their response costs from other potentially responsible parties.
In an important decision for persons in California that engage in voluntary cleanup activities – including owners and developers of contaminated property – the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that a potentially responsible party (PRP) that conducts a voluntary cleanup of a contaminated site may recover all of its response costs from other PRPs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Recovery Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601-9675. Kotrous v. Bayer Cropscience, Inc., Ninth Circuit Case No. 06-15162 (April 17, 2008) and Adobe Lumber, Inc. v. Hellman, Ninth Circuit Case No. 06-16019 (April 17, 2008). The Court's decision overturns a 1997 Ninth Circuit decision that held that "a PRP is not entitled to recover all of its response costs from other PRPs, but instead is limited to asserting a claim for contribution (for a portion of its response costs)." Pinal Creek Group v. Newmont Mining Corp., 118 F.3d 1298, 1301-1302 (9th Cir. 1997).
James Kotrous (Kotrous) sought contribution under CERCLA section 113 and response costs pursuant to section 107 for expenses he incurred cleaning soil and groundwater contamination at his Sacramento mattress store. Kotrous was required to cleanup the site under a California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) cleanup and abatement order, but had not been sued under CERCLA. Adobe Lumber Inc. (Adobe) also sued prior landowners of his Woodland Hills shopping center for all or some of its response costs under section 107. Adobe had been voluntarily working with the Regional Board to clean up its property, but was not under an order from the Regional Board at the time it filed its complaint. The district court, relying on Pinal Creek's holding that an action under section 107 was necessarily for contribution, held plaintiffs could recover their cleanup costs under section 113. It denied both defendants' motions to dismiss plaintiffs' section 113 claims. The appellate court consolidated their interlocutory appeals.
In Kotrous and Adobe, the Court was required to consider the continued viability of Pinal Creek Group in light of the Supreme Court's most recent precedent addressing CERCLA. sections 107 and 113(f) of CERCLA, "allow private parties to recover expenses associated with cleaning up contaminated sites." United States v. Atlantic Research Corp., 127 S. Ct. 2331, 2333 (2007). In Atlantic Research, the Supreme Court held that § 107(a) provides "so-called potentially responsible parties (PRPs)...with a cause of action to recover costs from other PRPs," id. at 2334, whereas § 113 provides an action for contribution. In so holding, the Supreme Court undermined Pinal Creek's holding that section 107 entitles PRPs to seek only contribution, not cost recovery, from other PRPs. Because Kotrous and Adobe were not subject to actions under section 106 or 107, they were not PRPs entitled to seek contribution under section 113. The Court held that Kotrous and Adobe must instead proceed under section 107 for cost recovery. The defendants named in Kotrous' and Adobe's section 107 claims could then seek contribution from other PRPs under section 113. The Court vacated and remanded the District Court's order and granted Kotrous and Adobe leave to amend their complaints as needed on remand.
The Court, however, declined to specifically overturn the portion of the Pinal Creek holding that "a PRP cannot assert a claim against other PRPs for joint and several liability." Pinal Creek at 1306.[1] The issue of whether a PRP can seek joint and several liability from other PRPs is very significant because it would allow a PRP that engages in a voluntary cleanup to recover its entire response costs from one or a few of the other PRPs, thus placing the burden on the defendant PRPs to seek contribution from the other remaining PRPs. The Court noted, however, that the U.S. Supreme Court in Atlantic Research concluded (without analysis) that a PRP that engages in a voluntary CERCLA cleanup could seek to hold other PRPs jointly and severally liable for its response costs.

[1] Kotrous and Adobe requested the Court overturn the Pinal Creek holding that prohibits a PRP from seeking joint and several liability at oral arguments, but the Court declined to consider the request because the issue was not before the Court.

'We've Had Enough Bushes,' Says Former First Lady Barbara
Tom Pennington
Former first lady Barbara Bush in March 2012.
On the day her son George's presidential library is being dedicated in Dallas, former first lady Barbara Bush has told NBC's Today show that "we've had enough Bushes" when it comes to seeing the presidency.
She was asked about the possibility of another son, former GOP Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, running for the White House, in 2016.
Today adds that:
"She still called her son [Jeb] 'by far the best-qualified man,' but went on to say she thought there were many worthy candidates."

08.Jan.03 - On the 30th of December 52 year old, Ricardo Barrientos died on flight AF 416 while he was being deported from France. The Argentinean, who was resisting his deportation, died when French border police officers who where accompanying him forced his chest on his knees while the plane was taxiing for take-off. He had been brought on board before the regular passengers and was placed in the rearmost section of the craft in an attempt to isolate him from the other passengers. The French border police claim his death is due to a cardiac arrest and considers it a 'natural death'.
Spokespeople of the national police have assured that the deportation which involved two officers forcing the deportees' upper body on his legs and his head between his knees while restraining his arms was carried out in accordance with 'normal procedures'. They further claimed that the accompanying officers alarmed medical emergency personnel when they discovered that Mr. Barrientos had fainted and that his death was attested by medical emergency personnel outside of the airplane.
This version is disputed by witness reports that have been received by the 'Association nationale d'assistance aux fronti�res pour les �trangers' (national association for assistance to foreigners at the borders). According to them the police officers carried the lifeless body of Mr. Barrientos to the front section of the plane where an doctor who had been alarmed by the cabin crew attested his death. Meanwhile the autopsy of the corpse has been ordered by a local court to investigate the cause of his death. Refugee support organizations contest the claim of a 'natural death', they rather see it as a consequence of the unnatural position into which the deportee was forced by the border police officers that were trying to break his resistance.
In an unrelated incident, that also took place at Charles de Gaulle airport on the same day, officers of the border police confiscated and erased a video tape of a television news crew from the west African state of Mali who had been filming the violent deportation of two persons on an Air France flight to Bamako.
According to AFP, the officers were roughly holding down the immigrants when they realized they were being recorded by a camera crew from Malian national television that happened to be accompanying Malian textile specialists on board. The two African journalists were quickly detained and their camera tape confiscated. A French student who allegedly insulted the officers was also arrested.
In a statement similar to the one issued in the case of the death of Mr Barrientos, a border police spokesperson claimed that the deportees were 'controlled normally according to techniques taught to police officers' and added that the tape had been confiscated and erased only because 'the officers were filmed without their permission'.
This description is disputed by members of the TV-crew: The reporter told the French news agency AFP that he had witnessed that "a handcuffed Malian was being beaten up and yelling. I told my cameraman to film the scene. Four French police officers got violent with us and made us leave the plane before confiscating the film of the scene."

Vasquez is a professional Brazilian jiu-jitsu trainer with Renzo Gracie School out of Nyack, New York. He said students acquire scores of academic and soft skills through the program. "It's a different story for everybody," he said.
Veronica Aponte, Dewar Lausell, Anthony Vasquez, Porfirio Matos, and Bryant Polanco (left to right).
Four of his students shared their experience at Eastside High School in late January.
Polanco was introduced to the program by a friend towards the end of his sophomore year. The students practice three days a week after school until 6 p.m. at the Wrestling Room. The program runs from Sept. to Thanksgiving. It halts from Thanksgiving until mid-February for wrestling. And begins again from mid-February, according to the coach.
Vasquez started the program at Eastside High School three years ago. He said it started with six students and grew to 45 at one point.
"People come and go," said the coach. 15-20 are regulars. There's also a second program at John F. Kennedy High School that has 25 students. He coaches students at both schools, he said.
Vasquez has managed to fill a trophy case in the Eastside High School hallway with medals, swords, and belts his students won in competitions over those three years.
"We've done pretty well in competitions," said Vasquez. Every year students compete in three tournaments in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. His students have competed at the Long Island Pride Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, North American Grappling Association (NAGA), KASAI Elite Grappling Championships, and the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) contests.
Dewar Lausell, another junior at the School of Information Technology at Eastside High School, joined in October and won first place at a competition held at John F. Kennedy High School last December.
Sprawling is when he'll put his weight on his opponent to get away, said Lausell. He gives credit to his coach for his first competition victory.
"It was a struggle. But it felt great when they raised my hand," said Lausell (pictured, top).
"They train to win," added the coach.
"I quit like three teams because of warm ups," said Porfirio Matos, another junior at the School of Information Technology at Eastside High School.
Matos never officially quit. He simply decided not to show up.
Matos, 17, faced a 23-year-old opponent at a competition. His opponent tapped out.
Aponte has been taking jiu-jitsu since she was a freshman, she said. She said it has helped her to focus on school work.
When asked if she has beaten any of the guys, Aponte giggled while Polanco's face turned red. She had beaten Polanco in a match.
Vasquez wants to see the program grow. "The ultimate goal is to create a jiu-jitsu program as a sport," he said. He said he does not know of any other school district in New Jersey that offers jiu-jitsu.
Jiu-jitsu training is expensive. It can cost more than $100 month for dojo membership. His students get the training for free.
The program also keeps them safe. At least in Aponte's case, several weeks prior, she thwarted an abduction attempt. She escaped and got to safety by running to school grounds.

Champion of the Arts: Sandra Jackson-Dumont to Lead Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
Photo Credit – Mangue Banzima
I was thrilled to read in ArtNews and Culture Type that Sandra Jackson-Dumont, the Chairman of Education for the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET), has been chosen after an international search to be the Director and CEO of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. The Lucas Museum is currently under construction in LA. Ms. Jackson-Dumont will begin her new post in January 2020.
Readers of Arts & Culture Connections were first introduced to the work of Ms. Jackson-Dumont in 2017 in an interview I conducted about her diversity and inclusion work, as well as her community engagement efforts as the Met's Frederick P. and Sandra P. Rose Chairman of Education. She has garnered global attention for her persistent, committed hard work, which has included the development of programs and exhibitions for diverse audiences—from families and teenagers to artists and scholars.
Ms. Jackson-Dumont's numerous accomplishments at the Met include the Teens Take the Met, program, in partnership with more than 40 youth and cultural organizations. Now in its fifth year, the event has brought together more than 22,000 teens from all five boroughs of New York City to participate in a hands-on, immersive experience at the museum. Ms. Jackson-Dumont also established an artist-in-residence program that supports artists with strong local community ties, and she convened a day-long event as part of the Met's retrospective of the work by the renowned artist Kerry James Marshall.
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art was founded by philanthropist and pioneering filmmaker George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson, Co-CEO and President of Ariel Investments. The museum's goal, according to its website, is "to inspire current and future generations through the universal art of visual storytelling." The museum will house a permanent collection and rotating exhibitions featuring illustrations, paintings, comic art, photography, and an in-depth exploration of the arts of filmmaking.
Ms. Hobson told the Los Angeles Times that Ms. Jackson-Dumont "has a vision and a point of view. She just stood out (from the other candidates)." And quoted in ArtForum, Ms. Hobson said of the new Director and CEO, "Education is at the core of our mission, so it's fitting that the director of the Lucas Museum be a deeply experienced museum educator. Sandra has more than two decades of experience in the field, and we believe she is the leader who will help bring our vision of creating an inspiring and accessible museum to life."
Pride doesn't begin to describe my emotions when I learned of Sandra's appointment. Having this fortress of visual and narrative cultural and entertainment history, as well as a mammoth educational resource, led by an African-American woman is indeed a very 21st century decision. I applaud the museum's Board of Directors for its foresight.
Sandra has always stood out for her perspective on the role and impact of art, her commitment to diversity, and the innovative, community engagement efforts she employed at the Met, the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Seattle Arts Museum (SAM). And this appointment only underscores Sandra's extraordinary capabilities.
Her appointment also comes amidst other significant executive appointments of African-Americans in the world of culture and arts, including the appointment of Lonnie Bunch, III, as the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and the appointment of Nataki Garrett as the Artistic Director of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
Big things are in store for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art—I know Sandra is going to SOAR!
I look forward to your comments. Write them below or email me: donna@donnawalkerkuhne.com.

Verification of cardiac mechanics software: benchmark problems and solutions for testing active and passive material behaviour
Land, S, Gurev, V, Arens, S et al. (28 more authors) (2015) Verification of cardiac mechanics software: benchmark problems and solutions for testing active and passive material behaviour. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 471 (2184). ISSN 1364-5021
Models of cardiac mechanics are increasingly used to investigate cardiac physiology. These models are characterized by a high level of complexity, including the particular anisotropic material properties of biological tissue and the actively contracting material. A large number of independent simulation codes have been developed, but a consistent way of verifying the accuracy and replicability of simulations is lacking. To aid in the verification of current and future cardiac mechanics solvers, this study provides three benchmark problems for cardiac mechanics. These benchmark problems test the ability to accurately simulate pressure-type forces that depend on the deformed objects geometry, anisotropic and spatially varying material properties similar to those seen in the left ventricle and active contractile forces. The benchmark was solved by 11 different groups to generate consensus solutions, with typical differences in higher-resolution solutions at approximately 0.5%, and consistent results between linear, quadratic and cubic finite elements as well as different approaches to simulating incompressible materials. Online tools and solutions are made available to allow these tests to be effectively used in verification of future cardiac mechanics software.

Rich in volcanic soil and river flow, Warrnambool provides refuge for plenty of the regions native flora and fauna. Exploring outside of the famed national parks will often uncover hidden gems away from the crowds.
Pick your own adventure and walk, bike or drive to some of the local parks, gardens and rivers. Don't forget the picnic basket and rug.
Warrnambool's Botanic Gardens were designed by William Guilfoyle in 1879, shortly after he completed the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens. Designed in the classic style, these elegant sheltered gardens feature wide curving paths, ancient trees, a lily pond with ducks, fernery and a band rotunda. The garden retains remnants of the original flora on the site, plus a fernery with flora from the Otway Ranges.
Cannon Hill offers panoramic views over Lady Bay and Lake Pertobe and out to sea. A Portuguese Padrao commemorates early Portuguese exploration of the Warrnambool area. There are BBQs, a rotunda and car parking is available.
David Fletcher Jones (1895-1977) started his career as a hawker in the Western District. He first came to Warrnambool in 1924 and opened a clothing store in Liebig Street. His business gradually expanded, and in 1948 he constructed a clothing factory on a site in East Warrnambool, which had once been a quarry. The factory buildings were sited to the south of the block and a garden wall created in the area occupied by the quarry. At its peak, the company had 55 stores and over 2,700 employees. The colourful gardens survive and feature Fletcher Jones' hawker wagon, a waterfall and wishing well.
Hopkins Falls are set in lush dairy country. Theymake an ideal picnic, fishing and walking spot, with gas BBQs and toilets provided. For a few days in early summer each year, the falls are the scene for one of nature's most extraordinary migrations, as short-finned eels negotiate the falls on their migration to and from their spawning grounds in the Coral Sea (3000 km away).
LOCATION: 13km north east of Warrnambool.
The Hopkins River mouth (and Blue Hole) with its beautiful cliffs, rock formations and rock pools is a popular fishing spot. In late spring, short-finned eels can sometimes gather in huge numbers waiting for access to the sea on their journey to the Coral Sea. Just up from the river mouth, boating, water-skiing and swimming are possible. The National Trust-classified Proudfoots Boathouse is nearby.
The Merri River lies to the west of the city, meandering through wetlands (now partly the Lake Pertobe Adventure Playground) before emerging at Stingray Bay, in the Thunder Point Coastal Reserve. The Merri is regarded as one of Victoria's finest brown trout streams.

United Space Alliance... Going, Going...
Link to USA's homepage...
[SatNews] Fifteen percent of the employees of this space operations firm will soon be unemployed.
United Space Alliance announced today the company will layoff about 15 percent of its current Space Shuttle workforce, effective October 1, 2010, in order to align the workforce level with the company's Space Shuttle Program Operations contract work scope and current budget. Only two missions remain in the Space Shuttle Program — STS-133, currently scheduled for no earlier than November 1, 2010, and STS-134 set for February 26, 2011. USA employs approximately 8,100 employees at its Florida, Texas, and Alabama sites. The reduction in force will affect multiple disciplines and multiple organizations across the company. It is expected to impact about 800-1,000 employees in Florida, about 300-400 employees in Texas, and about 10 Alabama. All employees subject to the layoff will receive severance compensation and access to support for resume development, job interview training, and career transition training.


One of the things I was given as a selling point for why I should take the job I have now that I hate with the fire of a thousand suns is that we would frequently be going on "team outings" to do "fun things." Of course, there is spirited disagreement between everyone what "fun things" actually entails.
Various suggestions were made for the annual (!) "outing" including BMXing and paintballing (yeah, right, when one of the guys has a heart condition and at least half a dozen of my coworkers tip the 300lb mark). Going to a movie. Going bowling. Something with booze. Who knows. Whatever. I would like to not hang out with these people if at all possible since I find most of them dull (some are also vaccine/autism and/or 9/11 truthers but THAT'S ANOTHER DISCUSSION).
The guy who took it upon himself to organize the outing just said he wants to get a headcount for 7-10pm on a Friday night. You have to be kidding. Isn't the point of an outing to do something INSTEAD of work, not spend another three hours with your coworkers outside of business hours?
Fortunately, everyone immediately revolted at this idea. I actually have a legit excuse on that date - a friend of mine is coming into town from Seattle and I have to pick her up from the airport Friday evening. But still. You have to be kidding me.
I still remember the reason I took this job (last job was a total disaster, more $$$, the chance to get experience in a different field of IT, the company name looks good on my resume) but man, this place blows goats so hard I'm feeling defeated just thinking about it.
Luckily I have an interview coming up to get back to a place I want to be in my career. God help me until that point in time arrives. Is it too early to start drinking at 12pm? Because that's going to happen shortly.


One very important New Orleans Saints defensive player to keep your eye on in 2013 is second-year defensive lineman Akiem Hicks. Hicks, who the Saints selected in the third round in 2012, had a baptism by fire last season, and while he showed his inexperience and a lack of good techniques at times, he also showed that athletically he is the most talented big man the Saints have along their defensive line.
Defensive end Cameron Jordan is not a gold chip NFL performer, but he is a good blue chip player. Jordan excels in stopping the run, but last season he displayed good pass-rush skills at times and the ability to close in fast on a quarterback.
For Hicks, if the light comes on for him like it did for Jordan in 2012, he has a chance to be a special defensive lineman. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound defensive lineman is being played across the board in Rob Ryan's new defensive 3-4 format.
Hicks said he has worked hard to improve his pad level and upgrade his leverage skills this offseason.
Last season the Saints saw Jordan develop into a very good starting defensive end and Hicks believes that he can make that move in 2013.
There are two key elements for the Saints defense to get better in 2013. The first is a consistent edge pass rush from free agent outside linebacker Victor Butler and matching up better down field in coverage with tight ends. That part of the equation has to come from 2013 first-round pick Kenny Vaccaro from the University of Texas.
The third piece of the puzzle is the continual development of Hicks along the defensive line, most likely at defensive end.
Hicks not only has a chance to be a good NFL player, but a special one for a team that desperately needs a big-time performer up front defensively. Like tight end Jimmy Graham did for the Saints in his second season, the boys in black and gold are hoping Hicks becomes that sort of player on defense.
If the New Orleans Saints can get some pressure from the likes of Hicks, Jordan, Butler and Junior Galette or Martez Wilson, it will relieve what was a troubling spot on the team in 2012.
Last season the Saints allowed opposing quarterbacks a passing rating of 93.8. That was the fifth worst figure in the NFL behind the Kansas City Chiefs (99.9), the Philadelphia Eagles (99.6), the Oakland Raiders (97.5) and the Dallas Cowboys (94.7).
Of those five teams, only the Eagles finished overall defensively in the top half of the league, and they finished 15th overall. The Saints finished 32nd overall defensively in 2012. Not one of those five teams posted a winning record or made the playoffs last season. One thing defensively you will see more of out of the 2013 Saints under Ryan is more press-coverage schemes. Last season the Saints under Steve Spagnuolo played a lot more off-cover schemes than we had ever seen when Gregg Williams was in charge of the defense. But this season under Rob Ryan, whose dad Buddy Ryan was a mentor for both Williams and Rob Ryan, the Saints will go back to more press-cover schemes.
Former Saints safety Brett Maxie, now the secondary coach with the Tennessee Titans, said that the press-cover method dictates to the receiver what type of route he can run.
Last season the Titans gave up a passer rating of 92.7 per game — the seventh-worst in the NFL, and they also had a losing record.

The Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN) offers well-structured and optimally supervised training for a new generation of neuroscientists, giving them not only the ability to develop new approaches and methods but also to gain a broad understanding of the complexity of the scientific subject and a profound knowledge of the theory of science. Based on a good understanding of the molecular and cellular foundations of neurobiology, the participants should acquire a deeper knowledge of neuron-neuron interaction (synaptic transfer and the dynamics of development and function), the dynamics of neuron-glia interaction, the rules of information transfer in simple and complex circuits of single brain centers, and the interaction of different brain centers. Courses and topics for PhD projects include a broad range of experimental techniques and theoretical approaches. Since neuroscience has an increasing impact on our self-conception and on society, teaching and research in the school also address philosophical and ethical questions.

Q: How can I Make my Custom Directive work inside the ng-repeat I have this directive for my ld Client. I tried to use it inside an ng-repeat but it wont work. What is the problem with this one? how can i make it work?
Tried to add the directive outside of ng-repeat and its working.
ldClient is a api variable in other module which returns true or false base on the flag variation.
Actually It doesnt even evaluate the directive like it not even calling it when its inside the ng-repeat

app.directive('flag', function (utilService) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
          ldclient.on('ready', function() {
            var flag = false;
            console.log(element);
            flag= ldclient.variation(attrs.flag, false);
            if(flag == false){
              element.remove();
            }
          });
        }
   }
});

A: If ldclient is on the scope that ng-repeat is under, then you can add scope: true and use scope.ldclient.on('ready') etc.
Try this:
app.directive('flag', function (utilService) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        scope: true,
        link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
          scope.ldclient.on('ready', function() {
            var flag = false;
            console.log(element);
            flag= scope.ldclient.variation(attrs.flag, false);
            if(flag == false){
              element.remove();
            }
          });
        }
   }
});

This ensures that your directive will share a scope within the DOM that it is placed.

Between income and wealth, culture and language, the newly arrived versus life-long residents, the divisions that separate people within Montgomery County's diverse community are wide. So when the Greater Washington Community Foundation reached out to IMPACT Silver Spring for support in organizing their Community Conversation in Montgomery County, we welcomed it as a positive step towards closing this divide.
We were admittedly a little unsure how many residents from IMPACT's grassroots network would choose to come to this one-time event, with an organization they did not know. We decided to do targeted invitations to people we thought might be inclined to participate, and did our best to explain who the Community Foundation is, and their goals. To our surprise, nearly all the 30 residents we spoke with showed up, to the point that we could barely fit everyone in the room. The time and care IMPACT takes to nurture relationships of trust with members of our network are in large measure what led to the high community turn-out.
Most certainly, our network's participation in the event will help to infuse the foundation's learning process with the voices, perspectives, and lived experiences of grassroots residents, and not only the voices of the professionals serving the poor and low-income. Our hope is that philanthropy will continue to press forward in figuring out ways to cultivate its own trusting relationships with grassroots residents through a long-term community engagement process. Only then can foundations be assured that their giving priorities will be informed and shaped by the lived realities of the very residents they are trying to support, through a constant flow of mutual learning that comes when strong connections and relationships are in place.
We witnessed the start of this relationship-building process at the event, when the foundation's President and CEO Bruce McNamer pulled up a seat to join one of the tables reserved for IMPACT's Spanish-speaking network members. Bruce stayed with this group for the entirety of the 3-hour evening, and listened and spoke to the group in Spanish. This simple yet powerful gesture was a first step towards overcoming the divide that often exists between philanthropy and the grassroots. Imagine if it was more common practice for foundation CEO's to take the time to meet with grassroots residents as equals, speaking in their language! This could go a long way for establishing a more meaningful relationship-building process.

The Power and Strength Behind Fighting Pretty
All photos are from Fighting Pretty's Facebook page and or website
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to share with you a company that is making women feel extra strong and beautiful while they fight against cancer.
First, Cancer F**KING sucks! Furthermore, every time I hear or think of the word cancer, tears immediately run down my face. I'm sure each of you reading this can think of someone in your life who has dealt with or who is currently fighting this awful disease. Personally, I can think of too many loved ones and friends who have been affected by cancer. It is terrible, and even though medicine has come a long way, we still have a ways to go.
It feels like it was yesterday that my boyfriend (now husband) was diagnosed with cancer. I vividly remember everything about that day. And at that moment, I knew I was going to do whatever it took to make sure he felt supported, loved, and knew that he had a supportive team behind him to help him beat that. Sidebar – I can happily say my husband is cancer free as of March 2016!
I honestly cannot put into words the overall process of fighting cancer, and I couldn't imagine doing it alone. My husband is one of the strongest human beings that I know, and it took a toll on him. Just like it would take a toll on anyone else for that matter. Going through it alone would be crushing.
As he started his treatments, I would make sure he had some sort of surprise waiting for him after each treatment. I then started sending little surprises to his family as well. I saw how much joy that brought to their lives. The smallest surprise would clear their minds even if it were just for a moment. When I noticed the joy, I thought about those who didn't have a support system during treatments and would send flowers or small gifts to their rooms when I was at the hospital. I wanted to make sure people felt like someone carried for them and wanted them to keep fighting!
Last week, as I was on my way home, a news notification popped up on my screen about a young woman who started a company called Fighting Pretty to help bring joy to those fighting cancer. I quickly wrote the name down so I wouldn't forget it and researched it later that evening. Here's Kara's inspiring story.
Kara Skaflestad found herself kicking cancers a$$ at a young age of 26, where she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. This empowering woman went through the ringer. She had a double mastectomy, eight rounds of chemotherapy, four weeks of radiation, fertility treatments, a year of Herceptin treatments and hormone therapy. Kara took her diagnosis into her own hands. She made sure to research everything about her treatment, medicine she would be taking, and everything else the disease threw at her. She knew losing all her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes would be tough and make her not feel very pretty. So when her treatments started, she wanted to make sure she was always "Fighting Pretty." What that means is she wanted to always have a smile on her face with amazing pink lipstick, wearing something bright like a pink scarf, and always wanted to make sure she was fully encompassing positive strength.
She had an excellent support system, and one of her friends (who is also a breast cancer survivor) had given her a pair of pink boxing gloves to help remind her to fight, which really helped her fight during her treatments.
Photo from Fighting Pretty Website
After her treatment was finished, Kara encountered another friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer. She wanted to share things that helped her fight during her treatment so she put together a "pretty package" and sent it to her, and that was the start of something remarkable. She started her Facebook page, and order after order was coming in to help spread strength to those remarkable women fighting breast cancer.
Her goal is simple: Help women feel strong and beautiful during and after cancer treatments with a Pretty Package. She began creating and sending these packages from her apartment in Brooklyn, NY which she now continues in her new home base in Portland, OR.
Kara is making a HUGE impact on women fighting breast cancer. She has sent over 6,000 Fighting Pretty packages all over the world. I am very blessed that I heard about her story, and I want everyone to know about her company.
NO ONE should fight cancer alone! Kara, thank you for creating this outstanding company, for bringing happiness, strength, and encouragement. You inspire me, and so many others in this world.
To all the extraordinary women out there fighting breast cancer, you are beautiful, you are strong, you are fierce, and you are FABULOUS! Keep fighting, and know you have others thinking of you.

Industry Talk / Opening of Government Bond Market To Retails Investors
Opening of Government Bond Market To Retails Investors
Nov 1, 2021 , Industry Talk
The Reserve Bank of India announced an open opportunity for small investors to directly access its government securities trading platforms. In its statement on Development and Regulatory Policies, it mentioned that retail investors can open their gilt accounts with RBI, and trade directly in government securities. One of the topmost market analysts in India Deepak Talwar, agrees with the Governor of the Central Bank who describes it as a major structural reform and further talks about the avenue this scheme offers to the retail investors.
According to the expert, anything new that comes into the financial market bringing the sovereign bonds directly to the investors is a good move. Until now, the participation in government securities was that of only giant institutions. In case a retail investor wanted to participate, they had to go through the mutual fund groups.
In this strategic move, individuals can participate in the government securities market as a one-stop solution to facilitate investment in G-Secs. It is beneficial for small investors to explore a safe medium of investment accessing a wider range of securities markets to earn better peril modified returns.
The expert states, "With this move, India will join a few selected countries that ensure access of retail investors to government supervised trading platforms. In this unstable market atmosphere, the scheme provides guaranteed safety to small investors – small businessmen, senior citizens, middle class people, and even to housewives who have assured returns with ready liquidity through secondary market operations."
Deepak Talwar, a seasoned market analyst, explains that an investor can choose the tenure of the bond that they want to invest into. After registering with the retail direct gilt account, an investor can pick and choose the security for themselves too. The registration process is self-explanatory, having said that, RBI has also provided helplines to guide investors assisted by the clearing corporation of India's employees.
For the investors trying to cut their teeth in the sovereign bond market, Deepak Talwar counts on the benefits of RBI scheme, he elaborates, "It will allow domestic investors to directly participate in G-Secs markets. Intending investors can now open and maintain a 'Retail Direct Gilt Account' with RBI through an online portal that will provide access to primary assurance of G-Secs with secondary market opportunities. Government of India Treasury Bills, Government of India dated securities, Sovereign Gold Bonds (SCB), and State Development Loans (SDLs) are the categories that will attract broad investments."
While the RBI puts priority on reviving growth, it faces the challenges in managing the government's massive borrowing programme at a cheaper cost. With the rise in crude oil prices, commodity prices are translating into higher input costs and could cause a broad-based rise in prices.
Currently, banks hold several government securities but if the demand for credit picks up, a possible reduction in banks' holding of these bonds could be expected. When government securities become more market-oriented because of a multifarious investor base, the management of debt will attract major challenges. While direct government bonds for diversified investors is a gratifying step, this needs to be followed by full bond market integration on the one hand and separation of debt management functions on the other.

Harsimrat Kaur Badal launches the "PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PM FME) scheme"
New Delhi: Minister for Food Processing Industries Smt. Harsimrat Kaur Badal launched the PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PM FME) scheme on 29th June 2020 as a part of "Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan". Union Minister said that the Scheme would generate total investment of Rs 35,000 crore and generate 9 lakh skilled and semi-skilled employment and benefit 8 lakh units through access to information, training, better exposure and formalization. The guidelines of the Scheme were released on the occasion.
Highlighting the role of local food processing units, Union Minister said that food products manufactured by the rural entrepreneurs in the villages have a long tradition of supplying Indian food products to the local population. The importance of these local units and their role has been amply emphasised by the Hon'ble Prime Minister in his Address to the Nation on 12.5.2020.
"In times of crisis, this Local has fulfilled our demand, this Local has saved us. Local is not just the need, it is our responsibility also. Time has taught us that we must make the Local as a mantra of our life. The Global Brands you feel today were sometimes also very local like this. But when people started using them, started promoting them, branding them, proud of them, they became Global from Local Products. Therefore, from today every Indian has to become vocal for their local, not only to buy local products, but also to promote them proudly. I am confident that our country can do this."
Speaking about the challenges faced by food processing sector, Smt. Badal said that the unorganised food processing sector faces a number of challenges which limit their performance and their growth. She added that these challenges include lack of access to modern technology & equipment, training, access institutional credit, lack of basic awareness on quality control of products; and lack of branding & marketing skills etc. She shared that owing to these challenges, the unorganised food processing sector contributes much less in terms of value addition and output despite its huge potential.
Union FPI Minister said that the unorganized food processing sector comprising nearly 25 lakh units contribute to 74% of employment in food processing sector. Nearly 66% of these units are located in rural areas and about 80% of them are family-based enterprises supporting livelihood rural household and minimizing their migration to urban areas. These units largely fall within the category of micro enterprises.
Details of the PM FME scheme
With a view to providing financial, technical and business support for upgradation of existing micro food processing enterprises, the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has launched an all India "Centrally Sponsored PM Formalisation of Micro food processing Enterprises (PM FME) scheme" to be implemented over a period of five years from 2020-21 to 2024-25 with an outlay of Rs 10,000 crore. The expenditure under the scheme would to be shared in 60:40 ratio between Central and State Governments, in 90:10 ratio with North Eastern and Himalayan States, 60:40 ratio with UTs with legislature and 100% by Centre for other UTs.
The Scheme adopts One District One Product (ODODP) approach to reap benefit of scale in terms of procurement of inputs, availing common services and marketing of products. The States would identify food product for a district keeping in view the existing clusters and availability of raw material. The ODOP product could be a perishable produce based product or cereal based products or a food product widely produced in a district and their allied sectors. Illustrative list of such products includes mango, potato, litchi, tomato, tapioca, kinnu, bhujia, petha, papad, pickle, millet based products, fisheries, poultry, meat as well as animal feed among others. Preference would be given to those producing ODOP products. However, units producing other products would also be supported. Support for common infrastructure and branding & marketing would be for ODOP products. The Scheme also place focus on waste to wealth products, minor forest products and Aspirational Districts.
Existing Individual micro food processing units desirous of upgradation of their unit can avail credit-linked capital subsidy @35% of the eligible project cost with a maximum ceiling of Rs.10 lakh per unit. Seed capital @ Rs. 40,000/- per SHG member would be provided for working capital and purchase of small tools. FPOs/ SHGs/ producer cooperatives would be provided credit linked grant of 35% for capital investment along the value chain. Support would be provided through credit linked grant @ 35% for development of common infrastructure including common processing facility, lab, warehouse, cold storage, packaging and incubation center through FPOs/SHGs/cooperatives or state owned agencies or private enterprise to use by micro units in the cluster. Support for marketing & branding would be provided to develop brands for micro units and groups with 50% grant at State or regional level which could benefit large number of micro units in clusters.
The Scheme places special focus on capacity building and research. NIFTEM and IIFPT, two academic and research institutions under MOFPI along with State Level Technical Institutions selected by the States would be provided support for training of units, product development, appropriate packaging and machinery for micro units.
All the processes of the Scheme would take place on an MIS including applications by entrepreneurs, their processing, approval of various projects by the States and MoFPI, release of grant and other funds and monitoring of the project. Individual entrepreneurs and other stake holders desirous of availing assistance under the scheme may contact the State Nodal Agencies of their respective states/ UTs regarding the roll out of scheme and contact points at the district level.

IOC could add anti-discrimination clause to bid rules

The IOC had to fend off criticism in the run-up to the Sochi Winter Olympics over Russia's anti-gay propaganda law, which critics say curtailed the rights of homosexuals in the country
IOCanti-discrimationOlympicsVladimir PutinThomas Bach
Sochi, Russia: Future Olympic bidders may have to abide by a specific anti-discrimination rule modelled on the Olympic Charter's Principle 6 if they are to be awarded the Games, the International Olympic Committee said on Tuesday.
Principle 6 says sport does not discriminate on any grounds, including race, religion, politics or gender.
The IOC had to fend off criticism in the run-up to the Sochi Winter Olympics over Russia's anti-gay propaganda law, which critics say curtailed the rights of homosexuals in the country.
They say the IOC has turned a blind eye to the controversial law, which was passed last year.
The law triggered a wave of reaction from athletes and politicians with several world leaders opting not to travel to Russia for the Games.
The IOC has said it cannot dictate laws in a sovereign state but said it had received assurances from Russian President Vladimir Putin there would be no discrimination against homosexuals during the February 7-23 Games.
"We have made it absolutely crystal clear that Principle 6 covers all forms of discrimination," IOC spokesman Mark Adams told reporters when asked whether it could become a pre-condition for cities campaigning to host the Games.
"Could it be changed? It can be changed," he said.
"We are, as you know, in the middle of Agenda 2020 which is looking at just about everything on how Olympics are run," Adams said.
IOC President Thomas Bach has launched a wide-ranging review of the Olympics as well as the bidding processes called Agenda 2020.
"It (Principle 6) is not something that is specifically looked at but if there is a groundswell of opinion it could be."
Learn lessons
Pressure has grown to include such a clause in the bid rules for future Olympics that would block nations from getting the Games if discriminatory laws existed.
Current and former athletes, including former tennis champion Martina Navratilova as well as pop star Rihanna, are among the big names to have publicly spoken out in favour of Principle 6.
"IOC president Thomas Bach must learn the lesson from the anti-gay fiasco in Russia and ensure this never happens again," said Andre Banks, co-founder and executive director of all out, an international gay rights group.
"We are calling on Bach to make upholding the Olympic Principle of non-discrimination a binding condition for all future Olympic host applications," he said.
