Hampshire Council spent £223,000 filming meetings for just 57 viewers
Reports say that Hampshire County Council has spent £223,000 on streaming equipment so that residents can tune in to watch council meetings. But despite terrible viewing figures - just 57 tuned in to the last meeting - council leaders insist it's "a good use of taxpayers' money".
The channel has seen plummeting audiences since it started, with 800 tuning in to watch February's pilot meeting, 167 in April, 108 in May, falling to a paltry 57 this month. One councillor even admitted that the numbers were boosted by his relatives tuning in, he said:"My daughter watches from Hong Kong to see what her father is up to". Very nice but there are, of course, many other ways for relatives to stay in touch.
This is an exceptional waste of money but rather than admit it's been a flop, it's ridiculous that some councillors continue to sing its praises. Thankfully not all of Hampshire's councillors are as deluded as the Conservative leadership. Councillor Keith House, Liberal Democrat opposition spokesman agreed it was a "waste of money".
Councillors in Hampshire need to end this costly scheme and try to claw back some of the £223,000 of taxpayers' money it's already spent. Streaming the meetings live on the web may help the Council to be more open and transparent, but it's simply absurd to think that it costs nearly a quarter of a million pounds of taxpayers' cash to do it.Reports say that Hampshire County Council has spent £223,000 on streaming equipment so that residents can tune in to watch council meetings.

Healthy and Activated Communities: The ACMHA 2015 Summit
Home Healthy and Activated Communities: The ACMHA 2015 Summit

The 2015 ACMHA Summit attracted behavioral health consumers, providers, and policy makers from all over the country. The message coming from this year's Summit was very clear: the environment is crucial to good health, and personal and community health literacy and "activation" are essential.
In his pre-Summit remarks, Prof. Joe Parks of the University of Missouri and MO Healthnet stated that those with major behavioral or substance-use disorders suffer a 25-35 year decrease in life expectancy due to health problems and/or poor quality of care in their communities.
It seems that the opinion-leaders in the field of behavioral health have shifted their focus from the treatment of disease to a much broader approach to social and physical determinants of health. Much new research is looking at what it takes to prevent disease, and more profoundly, to create well-being.
Keynote addresses by public-sector and private-sector speakers Paolo Delvecchio, MSW, Director of CMHS (Medicare), and Ray Fabius, MD, CPE, DFACPI, co-founder and President of the consulting firm HealthNEXT (PA), described discussions and research aimed at creating "a culture of health." Delvecchio drew on personal experience in concluding that "we must flip the script" in behavioral health and focus on helping people gain the skills they need to succeed in life. Fabius stated that companies that score high on the 200-plus items of his "index of health and well-being" also outperform similar companies in terms of market valuation. He says that our next step should be, "…to move from a 'culture of health' to a 'culture of well-being.'"
There were powerful presentations about communities as well. A great health program in an impoverished community will not work unless community members are encouraged to take action to understand and make use of its benefits. Among the presenters on this topic were Jei Africa, Psy.D., of California's San Mateo County Department of Behavioral Health; Arthur Evans, Jr., Ph.D., of Philadelphia's Department of Behavioral Health; Carole Siegel, Ph.D., of Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research (New York); Lenora Reid-Rose, MBA, contract manager of Coordinated Care Services, Inc. (New York), Sandra Mitchell, of the National Action Network (New York), and Onaje Muid, MSW, of the New York treatment-and-prevention facility Reality House, Inc. As speakers and discussants, they showed how well-planned, culturally competent interventions can both help individuals and improve communities overall health through health literacy, activation, and self-care opportunities. Reid-Rose and Mitchell focused on peer-administered, individualized cultural assessments, in which interventions focus on the needs of clients rather than of the clinical staff or agency. They said that "client interactions with 'someone like me'" create connections beyond the clinic and into the community.
Judge Ginger Lerner-Wren of Florida's Broward County Mental Health Court related the concept of community health-literacy and activation to the criminal justice system. She stated, "As a former disability lawyer, I understood quickly the importance of seeking support from peers to help me identify appropriate care and supports for consumers."
As a clinical social worker, I find it extremely exciting to see so many leaders, in both public and private sectors, trying to bring about a shift away from a disease-centered treatment system and toward fostering a culture of well-being. Such a culture can democratize what we do, by helping consumers become true partners in creating healthy communities. It can give hope and aid to people who have been made to feel abandoned and invisible. Clinical social workers, especially, have an important role to play in systems that improve the health and well-being of people and communities.

The bitter taste of de-globalisation
21 March 2017,
By Cássio Valdujo, V3
Market insights | February 2017
More Trump, some Le Pen and the bitter taste of de-globalisation.
If culinary TV shows have taught us anything, it is the importance of balance between flavours; that ingredients should complement one another and make a dish unique, not fight to see which spice will overpower the rest. Go heavy on salt or garlic and, at best, you are in for a lot of fake compliments on your cooking abilities, at worst a Gordon Ramsay style put down.
February's dish has been served and things are far from rosy. In Ramsay's words: 'you used so much salt I had a stroke just looking at the plate'. Trump was (yet again) the source of discord and the centre of attention in February (we believe he will remain so throughout the year) with the now infamous "Muslim ban" - a policy that acted as a preview for the new foreign and trade policy that the government wants to implement. Although heavily criticised by the industrial sector and also by Silicon Valley (both heavily reliant on foreign workers), it was only reversed once a US court blocked its implementation, though by then it had already damaged the image of the country as welcoming 'your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.' More salt on Trump's opposition's wounds.
Unfortunately, too much 'salt' was not the only worrisome news in February. 'You've used so much garlic HBO had to cancel True Blood' bellows Ramsay! France was the metaphorical 'garlic', hitting the news, as their presidential election nears with two out of three main candidates under investigation for misuse of public funds: far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen and conservative François Fillon. Although their infractions were similar on many levels, Le Pen not only managed to keep the lead in the polls, but also to gain more traction as she positioned herself as being targeted by EU politicians, while Fillon is poised not only to lose the first round of voting, but risks being replaced before the election even takes place. That alone should be enough to scare investors about the strength of the nationalist movement in Europe and the consequences of an upset victory à la Trump in the already troubled European political scene.
I cannot print what Mr Ramsay said next, but I can tell you that whilst we were all distracted with Trump and France, there have been a number of issues heating up, with the potential to reach burning point. The U.K. and Brexit were in the news again, as Prime Minister Theresa May hinted at a hard-Brexit negotiation - spooking many in the City of London and painting a bleak picture for the future of the financial services industry in the country. Elsewhere, the North Koreans are targeting regime opposition abroad with nerve agent (VX) and launching long-range missiles at the sea, in spite of UN resolutions. This has lead the South Koreans to speed up the deployment of a new U.S. defence missile system on their border, which in turn made the Chinese furious at South Korea (and at the Americans, obviously). That triggered what one could define as 'trade war 2.0,' with Korean companies being targeted by Chinese-sponsored cyber-attacks, local tourism companies cancelling South Korean tours and stores selling South Korean products in mainland China being vandalised.
Despite the negative news, it was a month of gains across the board in the markets
Developed market equities rewarded investors with gains in major markets, thereby building on the momentum of the previous months. U.S. equities kept believers of the Trump rally celebrating for another month, as the S&P500 ended the month up 3.72% despite the strong dollar. European equities recovered from last month's losses and supported by the weaker Euro climbed 2.75%, and Japanese equities gained 0.41%, as the economy kept above its potential growth rate and corporate results were better than previously expected.
Fixed income markets had another positive month, as European bonds (both sovereign and corporate) recovered part of the losses of the previous month as a result of the re-evaluation of the political risk in Europe, (despite increased volatility in French bonds related to the presidential elections in April). U.S. Treasury bonds gained 0.49% as investors focused on the "too much talk and no action" pro-growth Trump agenda and reassessed their expectations. Investment grade bonds gained 1.33% and U.S. high yield bonds gained 1.48% as investors continued to search for higher yielding securities and showed no signs of abandoning the asset class, even after more than a year of strong gains.
Emerging market equities had another strong month (up 1.74%) despite the strong losses in Russia, while emerging market bonds added to the strong momentum seen since 2016, gaining 1.84% in February.
Oil gained 2.27% in the month, more than recovering the losses of January, as the commodity seems to have found its place balanced delicately between USD 50 and USD 55 a barrel. Prices have been supported by the high compliance level of OPEC members to the production cuts agreed late last year so far. However, this prices could abruptly drop should there be a stronger than expected production volume in the U.S. or from a free rider country looking to take advantage of higher prices to sell increased production.
Gold had another month of gains (up 3.11%) as investors kept buying the yellow metal as a result of the still increased level of uncertainties around the world.
Global markets in numbers
Going back to our dish, let us evaluate whether it is in some way edible, or a bitter, burnt disaster.
The numbers do not lie and if you ignore the headlines and focus only on the performance so far, 2017 is shaping up not to taste too bad and to be a continuation of the risk-on market rally of 2016, but investors should be aware that the odds are against that. The main reasons for this include the already discussed political crisis in Europe (with the rise of the protectionist nationalist movement in countries ranging from France to the Netherlands); the resurgence of the Greek debt crisis (which in all fairness should have never disappeared from the news); the shaping of the Trump presidency and all the political noise resulting from it and finally the next steps in the monetary policy in the U.S. and around the world. There are far too many uncertainties to let investors sleep at night without a plan B, or at least some kind of strategy for an alternative scenario.
As previously mentioned, quite apart from the U.S. and the Trump administration, there are equally troubling outcomes starting to shape elsewhere and Europe is home to most of them today. Markets are already moving with the increased risk that the Euro's future is in jeopardy due to the growth of Le Pen's candidacy and the prospect of a not-so-sure loss in the run-off election against either independent Macron or conservative Fillon. To have an idea of what can happen if the Euro is no more, look no further than Russia, where despite the better economic growth figures and higher oil prices during the month, markets went down (contrary to most emerging markets) as investors started to price the risk of an Euro breakup in the country's foreign currency reserves, 40% allocated in the common currency.
The Greek debt crisis - a tragedy waiting to happen - should be another source of preoccupation for investors, as 2017 brings several payment deadlines that the country surely cannot meet on its own. For politicians and parties hoping for re-election, the political price of agreeing to direct more European funds to Greece in a year with major elections all over the continent has never been so high, and nationalist movements are doing all they can to capitalise on this sensitive topic. The IMF participation in this new rescue is not guaranteed, since the fund and its European peers seems to disagree on the level of austerity required to grant new funds to the Hellenic republic.

bankHometown Commits $25,000 to Fuel Fund
Millbury, Massachusetts — In time for the home heating season, bankHometown has contributed an additional $25,000 to the Community Energy Assistance Program, a fund first established by Millbury Savings Bank in 2005 to help low-income residents pay their home energy costs. With the recent merger of bankHometown and Millbury Savings, this contribution demonstrates bankHometown's continued commitment to the program and brings total contributions to $380,000.
"Now in its 16th year, the energy assistance program is critical in helping local families meet the high cost of heating their homes," said Robert J. Morton, bankHometown's President and CEO. "bankHometown is pleased to continue funding this important program for our neighbors in need, and to build upon Millbury Savings Bank's long history of giving back to the community."
The fund will provide fuel assistance to households in Millbury and Sutton that meet federal guidelines for low-income individuals. For qualifying applicants, bankHometown will pay $350 for oil, natural gas, or electric directly to the energy supplier. Last winter, approximately 60 local families received assistance.
Eligible properties include owner-occupied, single-family residences or apartments. Ineligible properties include subsidized housing, multi-family housing producing rental income (even if owner-occupied), and apartments that include heat as part of the rent.
The program will be administered by both the Millbury and Sutton Senior Centers and will end March 31. To apply, or to determine if you are eligible, contact one of the program's coordinators: Judith O'Connor, Millbury Senior Center, 1 River Street, (508) 865-9247, or Michelle Edelstein, Sutton Senior Center, 19 Hough Road, (508) 234-0703.

A "spotted cow" cupcake from 3GC.
and topped with spotted (chocolate chip) buttercream!
There was a bake sale at work today to raise money for a charity. I spent $6 and got a lot of sugary treats! Everything I bought (and tried so far) is delicious. This got me thinking; does food taste better when it's for a good cause?
My favorite cupcake place is 3 Girls Cupcakes. Simonie, the owner and chief "cupcake engineer" is a constant reminder to do my part to make the world a little sweeter. I am a loyal 3GC fan because the cupcakes are amazing and because a weekly dose of Simonie does the soul good. I could write a whole blog post about the endless times I have received exceptional customer service at her cupcake van and I could give you a personal review of each of her cupcake flavors (read my Yelp! review of 3GC). What I really love about Simonie is that she is constantly giving back.
On the front page of the 3GC website you will see that 10% of sales go to local Children's Charities. This is a big deal! How many of us actually give 10% of our income to anything so great? (Pat on the back for those of you that actually do) In addition to that Simonie is constantly donating cupcakes to local organizations as her way of supporting their cause. She has found something she is good at and is doing more with it than just making money for herself. We would all love to be making a living doing something that brings us joy, and to share in that joy with so many others is like the icing on the cake!
I recently read a post on Facebook that Simonie passes out cupcakes to the homeless when stopped at red lights around town. These people are not going to track her down to buy another cupcake from her in the future. She is not gaining future clients by doing this. There is no money to be made from giving your cupcakes (your source of income) to someone who can not repay you. She is using her own resources to give back to the city.
So, do her cupcakes taste better because with each purchase I am, in a way, donating to local children's charities? Thankfully her cupcake are superb and she has never given me a chance to find out if I like them any less without supporting a good cause and I hope she never will.
Simonie is using her talent as a "cupcake engineer" to bring a little more sweetness to the world. You don't have to spend money to create a sweet moment for someone else. What is something you are good at and how can you put that talent to use brightening someone else's day?
I am not an expert "cupcake engineer", but I'm pretty darn good at finding moments that make other people shine. Tomorrow I will put my talent to use and give someone else a reason to feel good about themselves.
You're absolutely right! First of all, it doesn't have to cost money to make someone else's life a bit sweeter. And secondly, her cupcakes are super-delicious!
"Be kinder than necessary. Because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle"
Something I am good at that I use to brighten someone elses day...I make crafts. Yes they are usually kiddie crafts and kind of silly, but I make them so that I can share them with my sister because I know (or at least hope) that she enjoys them as much as I do. Even if you just enjoy that magnet long enough to take it off your fridge and throw it in the trash, I hope it made your day just a little brighter.
Shelly, when we walk in the house and I hear the words "Shelly has been here" I know that means we have a new seasonal decoration for our house! The magnet is still up because I think caramel apples are good for November too!


So after trying out the lemon bars last week I know I needed to try something similar again but I would for sure need to tone down on the lemon zest.
I found that I had some raspberries in the fridge that were about to go bad so I decided that I would make a lemon raspberry dessert of some kind.
I recently (like last weekend) became obsessed with cooking in a mason jar. Why did I never think of this before like seriously. I mean I know that there are many blog post and Pinterest pins out there dedicated to this way of cooking. Anyways it is so nice because you bake directly in these lil jars and then put a lid on it and they fit so nicely in your lunch bag. This is a real time saver and my kids are always thankful for less dishes to put in the dishwasher.
1. Combine Almond flour, 1 tsp sweetener of choice and 2 tbsp melted butter.
1. Blend the peeled Lemon, as much of the skin you want for zest, 1 egg, 1tbsp butter and 1 tsp of sweetener.
2. Pour mixture over the cooked crust in the mason jar and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes at normal temperature.
1. Blend the raspberries, 1 tsp sweetener, 1tbsp butter and 1 egg.
2. Pour over the lemon layer and cook for 2 minutes.
Enjoy warm or let cool depending on how you feel.
Refrigerate the non used portions.

Alex Prugh had two eagles in the final round.
ARROWTOWN, New Zealand -- Washington's Alex Prugh felt right at home amid the mountains and lakes of New Zealand and his relaxed nature helped him earn his first career win Sunday. Prugh's blistering back-nine 30 contributed to an 8-under 64 that pushed him to a three-stroke win at the Michael Hill New Zealand Open.
Prugh, a 24-year old from Spokane, raced past the international field to finish at 19-under 269 and lead the American contingent to a 1-2-3 sweep on the Nationwide Tour's final stop of a three-tourney swing Down Under.
"If anything, this builds a lot of confidence for me," said Prugh, who collected $108,000 for the win. "The last time I felt nerves like that might have been at the Pacific Coast Amateur in 2005 but there were no leader boards there and we were playing in front of 30 people, not the thousands we had out here. I definitely thought I'd be more nervous coming down the stretch."
The second-year pro becomes the first American to win the New Zealand Open Championship since Corey Pavin, who captured back-to-back titles in 1984-85. The tournament dates back to 1907 but this was the first time it was a co-sanctioned event between the Australasian and Nationwide Tours.
Texas rookie Martin Piller, the 54-hole leader, posted a 4-under 66 to wind up at 16-under and solo second. Ohio native Jim Herman also carded a 68 at The Hills Gof Club near Queenstown.
Jeff Gove (70), another Washington native, was part of a six-way tie for fourth place, seven shots back of Prugh. New Zealand's Josh Geary (71) carried the banner for the homeland to share fourth along with a quartet of Australians, Andrew Bonhomme (66), Stephen Dartnall (68), Peter Senior (68) and Craig Parry (68).
"Where I grew up in eastern Washington, near the Idaho border, it looked a lot like this place," said Prugh of the local geography. "There were some lakes and some ski resorts in the area. I've felt more at home here than anyplace we've been on Tour so far."
Sunday's final round appeared to be another shootout with as many as 20 players jammed within four shots of the lead and Prugh was stuck in neutral in the middle of the pack.
"The day got off to a very slow start," he said. "I was even-par for my first seven holes and I thought I was going to be lapped by everybody."
Everything changed at the par-4 eighth, where Prugh's pitching wedge from the right rough eventually found the cup for an eagle.
"That one really kick-started my round," he said. "I thought, now we can really go."
And go he did. Prugh rolled in birdie putts at Nos. 11, 12 and 14 to grab a share of the lead with Piller, a good friend who he'd gone to dinner with "almost every night this week."
Prugh stepped in front with a 20-foot birdie putt at the par-3, 16th and then clinched things at the par-5, 17th.
"I hit a great 3-wood in there. I knew there was plenty of green and grass to the right and the only place I couldn't miss was left," said Prugh, who canned a 25-foot eagle putt. "That putt was uphill, breaking on a tier. I played it about four feet outside. When it got close, I saw it was dead center."
Piller was two groups back and was suffering a bogey at No. 16 about the same time that Prugh was making eagle. Suddenly, the lead was four, and Piller was almost out of holes and time.
"I came out and figured I got to 15- or 16-under I'd be okay," said Piller, a rookie making only his fourth career start. "It's a little disappointing that I didn't get it done but I gave it everything I had. I didn't leave anything in the bag. When you shoot 64 like that, you're going to win some tournaments. My hat's off to Alex."
Also among the day's highlights, Richard Johnson aced the par-4, 15th hole, only the second ace on a par-4 in Nationwide Tour history. Johnson's hole-in-one on the 347-yard hole vaulted him from 10-under to 13-under and just two shots off the lead at the time.
"I just aimed for the gap in the traps and smashed it as hard as I could," said Johnson, who joins Chip Beck in the history books. "I figured if I hit it really good I'd have a chance to get it in that back corner. I never saw it. It's too far but I heard the crowd go nuts."
Johnson bogeyed the next two holes and finished with a 1-under 70 to tie for 10th place.
• Richard Johnson recorded only the second hole-in-one on a par-4 in Nationwide Tour history. Johnson aced the downhill 347-yard, 15th hole. He joins Chip Beck, who aced the par-4 9th hole at the 2003 Omaha Classic. For his efforts, Johnson will receive a pallet of beer from tournament sponsor Heineken, or 125 dozen bottles, which multiplies out to 1,500 bottles. "I wonder if it will last more than a couple of weeks," he said. "I didn't know how much a pallet was, I just knew it was more than a case." Heineken will ship the beer to Johnson's destination of choice, his hometown of Fort Smith, Arkansas. .
• Johnson's ace at the par-4, 15th hole turns out not to be that rare. Steven Jeffress also made a hole-in-one at the same spot during the 2007 New Zealand Open at The Hills.
• The last player on the PGA TOUR to make an ace on a par-4 was Andrew Magee on the 17th hole at the 2001 Phoenix Open.
• Peter Senior, who turns 50 in July, shot a 4-under 68 to finish at 12-under 276 and tied for fourth. Senior also tied for 23rd at last week's HSBC New Zealand PGA Championship in Christchurch.
• New Zealand's Steve Alker, winner a week ago, posted a 1-under 71 on Sunday to wind up 10-under and tied for 13th.


The LIANG HUANG BAO CHAN directly translated as the Emperor Liang's Repentance Service is attributed to Emperor Liang Wudi (502-549). He was the first Emperor of the Liang Dynasty in China. He had been described by many as one of the more interesting emperors of his dynasty, and his reign was among the longest and most stable of many of the Southern Dynasty's. His given name was Xiao Yan.
Emperor Wudi established and built many universities and extended the Confucian civil service examinations. He decreed that sons of nobles study the classics. He was well read himself and wrote poems and patronized the arts. He adopted Confucian values in governmental affairs but embraced Buddhism as well. He banned the sacrifice of animals and was against human execution. He actually, at some point of time in his life, entered a Buddhist monastery. He also received the Five Precepts and the Bodhisattva Precepts.
According to legend, the empress was reborn in the woeful state of a huge snake because of her negative karma. She appeared to Emperor Wudi in his dreams and begged to be saved from this woeful state. Emperor Wudi asked the Venerable Bao Zhi, a Buddhist monk, for advice to help relieve the suffering of his wife. Venerable Bao Zhi then gathered many high ranking monastic members to help the emperor. Together, they created a 10-chapter repentance book for the emperor.
After performing the Repentance Service by reciting the chapters of the book, the empress again appeared to Emperor Wudi in his dreams to thank and inform him that she was then reborn in the heavens. Today the recitation of the chapters of this book is performed annually in many Buddhist temples. It has become a major Buddhist repentance service named after Emperor Wudi. This service, now called the Emperor Liang's Repentance Service, describes the empress's transformation and what Emperor Liang did so that she could rest peacefully. It also involves prostrations to a number of Buddhas. The chants in many places of this repentance book quoted relevant Buddhist sutras on this subject.

Bad weather is coming our way again, starting now. Last year's 'Beast from the East' shut the country down for about 72 hours and, for many of us, the misery was compounded by our boilers breaking down*. The main culprit was a frozen condensate pipe. Water or condensate is a by-product of the boiler's operation and is extracted via the condensate pipe. When this water freezes, which can happen when the temperatures drop, it stops the boiler working. You may hear a gurgling noise coming from the boiler and a fault code will appear in the display panel (on Intergas boilers this fault code is F5). The good news is that simply thawing out the frozen condensate pipe usually solves the problem, and it's something you can do yourself and your boiler will be back up and running in minutes.
The condensate pipe may be on an external wall or directly under your boiler. If it's on an external wall, it's likely to be made of white plastic and runs diagonally down into the drain; if it's internal, it will be white plastic too. To thaw out the external plastic pipe, pour warm water (never boiling) over it until you can see the water running out of the pipe into the drain; please note, you should only do this if the pipe is at ground level and it is safe to do this. It could take a few minutes. To thaw out the internal pipe, attach a microwaveable heating pack or hot water bottle to it, again this could take a few minutes. Then press 'reset' on the boiler's control panel and the boiler should restart.
*Strictly speaking, when a condensate pipe freezes, due to adverse weather conditions and prolonged sub-zero temperatures, causing the boiler to stop working, this boiler hasn't in fact broken down. This is a safety feature which protects the boiler.
The Heating and Hot Water Industry Council (HHIC) has issued guidance notes to help householders. (please click here for more information).

an epic teaser for the series finale
August 23, 2022 by Dana Florian
It's almost the end clap for The Walking Dead. The series is indeed preparing to bow out after twelve years of good and loyal service. The last part of season 11 is coming soon to OCS. In the meantime, the channel has unveiled a epic and emotional trailer for the grand finale.
Get ready, because it's war
In this final season of The Walking Dead, Daryl, Carol, Maggie and all the others encounter the Commonwealth group and also face the Reapers. The tension gradually increased over the episodes to finally end in open war in the final episodes of season 11. As we can see in the trailer, the survivors of Alexandria are on a war footing and don't intend to give quarter. The video announces an end that promises to be bloody for the heroes, but also moving: "Even if all seems lost, this is not the end".
See you in October on OCS
The end of the trailer announces the release date of the broadcast of the first episode of this third and last part of season 11. It is therefore October 3, 2022 than the streaming platform OCS will exclusively broadcast the latest episodes of The Walking Dead. Note that there are only eight episodes before the end of the series.
Fans are already looking forward to reuniting with their favorite characters in ultimate (my)adventures. The farewells will however be less heartbreaking when we know that several characters will be entitled to spin-offs: Daryl will fly to France, while Maggie and Negan will face zombies on the island of Manhattan. While waiting to learn more about these spin-offs of The Walking Dead, go to OCS in October to say goodbye to the parent series.

Q: router based on select I have piece of code which looks proper but behaviour says something different. I am trying to get the value selected by the user in this code:

and this outputs undefined:
selectAndRoute(value){

The first person I Snapchat is Millie. I smile for a selfie, make sure that my pin is visible, add the "Bernie 2016: A Future to Believe In" geofilter and caption it, "My ballot was received! Did you vote yet?" Millie and I text each other Bernie Sanders gifs all the time. We tag each other in videos of his finest moments and memes of his silliest moments. We are friends who bond over the Bern.
Millie's response takes me by surprise. A minute after opening my Snapchat, she replies with a sad-faced selfie. Caption: "I can't. I'm not officially a U.S. citizen." Yes, she feels another burn.
She didn't tell me the particulars. All I knew was that she had immigrated to America with her family from Argentina when she was in her elementary school years. I didn't know that she and her family were still struggling with the transition to American citizenship. We are from South Florida, where millions of immigrants have to deal with excessive paperwork and barriers that hinder the path to citizenship. Why had I never had this conversation with her?
I felt overwhelming confusion and a desire to have the immigration conversation with Millie. We'd been friends for years. How could I not know about such a huge part of her life? Here is one of the most ardent Bernie Sanders supporters I know, unable to vote in the Florida primary. It would have been her first time voting too, but she didn't get to feel the rush of knowing that her vote counted.
Then it hit me—there are so many immigrants whose political enthusiasm is not accounted for. I stand in a place of privilege. I am not an immigrant. No one in my direct family is an immigrant. I can't even say how many generations apart I am from my Russian ancestors. I don't know how the Nobil name ended up in America. I don't know much about the obstacles that immigrants face because they do not affect me. On March 15, I realized that they do affect many people whom I care about.
Millie dwells in America, works in America, studies in America and identifies as an American, yet she cannot exercise one of the most basic American rights—the right to vote. She told me that the reason she can't vote is difficulty with paperwork. When Millie and her family moved to America from Buenos Aires, they were able to provide the paperwork necessary to become permanent residents, but the paperwork requirements for citizenship are different and caused and complicated. When Millie was 12, she had to skip the last few weeks of sixth grade and move back to Argentina for awhile—she wasn't sure whether she would be able to come back. She soon made it back to Florida, but the difficulties continued.
When I finally talked with Millie about her status, she explained that the tests to become a citizen are expensive and a financial strain for her family. Four of the five members of her household are over 18 years old and would have to take the tests. Her little sister, she said, wouldn't need to because she is only 15 years old. The cost of applying for U.S. citizenship is $680; multiplied by four, it's almost $3,000.
Bernie lost the Florida primary. Hillary Clinton won by a landslide. I wonder how different the numbers would have been if every Floridian immigrant, including Millie, had the opportunity to vote. I wonder if Millie and all the other immigrants wanting but unable to vote could change the future of this country.

BMS responds to Hurricane Matthew
BMS World Mission has just authorised a grant for £22,150 to help provide cholera treatment in the hard-hit south of Haiti
Widespread flooding and poor sanitation are predicted to cause cases of cholera to surge in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, which hit Haiti last Tuesday (4 October 2016). In fact, some have already reported three times the number of incidences of the infection following the disaster.
BMS World Mission has been in touch with partners on the ground to find out the most helpful way we can respond to the hurricane, and the provision of cholera treatment was identified as one of the urgent needs. On Wednesday (12 October), it agreed a grant of £22,150 to help towards treatment for 1,200 cholera patients over the next six months. This treatment will be provided through a hospital on the south west tip of Haiti, serving people hit by the heart of Hurricane Matthew.
BMS has a history of helping to prevent cholera and caring for cholera patients in Haiti. Following the 2010 earthquakes, it worked with a partner in Cap-Haitien to help reduce the cholera related mortality rate from around 13 per cent to under 0.5 per cent.
"Haiti is one of the most marginalised and fragile countries in the world," says Steve Sanderson, Deputy Director for Mission. "BMS has historically stood by Haiti in times of disaster, not least with the earthquakes and cholera outbreaks in 2010. As we continue to stand with the people of Haiti following Hurricane Matthew, we want to ensure that we demonstrate the love of Christ through helping those directly affected and leaving communities more resilient."
BMS wants to say a huge thank you to all the churches and individuals who have taken up offerings, prayed for and given gifts to BMS relief work – both in Haiti and in other countries around the world. Your gifts means BMS has been able to respond quickly, providing support for some of the worst-affected people in the country.
"Please pray with us, that BMS, in partnership with people on the ground, would be able to prevent the devastating wave of cholera deaths that could be a natural outcome of this disaster."
You can give towards our relief work in Haiti and other disaster-affected countries by giving to BMS disaster recovery today.

NRB Urges Supreme Court to Review D. James Kennedy Ministries' Case
NRB | January 6, 2022 | Advocacy, Advocacy News
In December 2021, an amicus curiae brief was filed on NRB's behalf petitioning the Supreme Court to grant a writ of certiorari in the case of Coral Ridge Ministries Media, d/b/a D. James Kennedy Ministries v. Southern Poverty Law Center.
In 2017, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) labeled D. James Kennedy Ministries, an NRB member, as a "hate group" in response to its teaching of traditional Christian beliefs. Amazon thereafter denied DJKM continued participation in the AmazonSmile charitable giving program. That same year, D. James Kennedy Ministries filed a lawsuit against Amazon, Guidestar, and the SPLC for defamation and religious discrimination.
"SPLC acted knowingly, intentionally, and with actual malice in publishing the Hate Map that included the ministry and in publishing the SPLC Transmissions to Guidestar that included the ministry," D. James Kennedy Ministries' suit said. "SPLC's conduct in making these publications was beyond the reckless disregard for the truth standard required by Alabama law for punitive damages."
The suit was dismissed in September 2019 by U.S. District Court Judge Myron Thompson, who held that the SPLC's labeling of DJKM as a "hate group," regardless of accuracy, was protected under the First Amendment. Her ruling was consistent with the 2018 recommendation of federal Magistrate Judge David A. Baker to dismiss the case, holding that the ministry had not met the "actual malice" standard for defamation that the Supreme Court established in New York Times v. Sullivan.
The brief filed by NRB in December 2021 (read full brief here) addresses the disastrous practical effects of Sullivan, notes the lack of policy support for the "actual malice" standard, and presents the case as an excellent vehicle for reconsidering Sullivan.
Earlier in 2021, Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch called on the court to revisit that precedent in a dissent from the denial of certiorari in Shkelzen Berisha v. Guy Lawson.
"This Court's pronouncement that the First Amendment requires public figures to establish actual malice bears 'no relation to the text, history, or structure of the Constitution,'" Gorsuch wrote.
Four Supreme Court justices must vote affirmatively in order to grant a petition for certiorari and review the case. NRB continues to step forward as an amicus curiae in cases of importance to our members.

At last some signs of positive movement on the European price, with the German price increasing by 4c/kg this week. The backlog of numbers cased across by the Christmas break and significant overhang of stocks of meat in storage, which has depressed the overall pigmeat market for a number of months, seems to at last have some signs of rectifying itself. There is no change this week with Irish pig farmers receiving €1.38-1.42c/kg. African Swine fever (ASF) continues to cause major disruption to production across the Asian market, with disturbing reports of huge numbers of pigs culled to the disease. In Europe, biosecurity measures have been heightened to prevent ASF entering into the commercial pig units in France Germany and Denmark. Ireland needs to do likewise to ensure the island remains ASF free.
Ireland's percentage of the EU price has improved and is currently 101% of the EU average price as reported to the EU Commission for the week commencing 14/1/2019.
Factory pig throughput in Republic of Ireland export plants for the week ending January 26th 2019 was 72,614 head which was 2,569 head more than the previous week and 4,628 more than in the corresponding week in 2018.

Fashionista Ferrari – How Ferrari Style Embodies the Brand
The brand exudes masculinity and strength but behind the sheet metal (or more aptly, lightweight composite materials) is a feminine Ferrari style – a woman's whisper about style, panache and color.
By Tara Weingarten
A Feminine Mystique
Wander through the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy, and a few things are readily apparent: it's incredibly clean, there are 150 live trees sprouting through the factory floor spreading cheer and oxygen, natural sunshine gleams through windows, and serious sports cars are being built.
It's Italian all the way. Nothing is ever 'just business' with Italians. Productivity has to be implemented with style, with charm and with soul. And so, the people who make legendary Ferraris must be happy. A sort of Italian 'whistle while you work' philosophy.
Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo waxes poetic about the emotionality of Ferrari, both the brand and the car. The way Ferraris sound – that incredible baritone voice – and the way they accelerate and handle on twisty roads is nothing short of spectacular, a one-off experience.
Yes, Ferraris are fast, yes they grip and respond to a driver's every command. But there's something else, says di Montezemolo, that makes each Ferrari more than just a dynamic sports car. At a recent speech he gave to students at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, di Montezemolo several times equated Ferrari's sexiness to a beautiful woman. Trite? Stereotypical Italian man? Cliche? Yes, perhaps all of these things. But there's no denying that Ferrari is sexy – whether you compare it to a woman or not. It is, certainly, seductive, head-turningly attractive, unforgettable. The real deal.
But such metaphors may no longer work for Ferrari's growing American clientele – a full 10 percent of whom are now women! I'd rather fantasize about a gorgeous Italian man, but that's just me. And get this. In China, one of every three Ferraris is sold to a woman.
Feminism, Ferrari-Style
To some men, the notion of a woman driving a so-called man's car is anathema. The term "chick car" is death in the sports car world. I find that seriously insulting, as a woman who drives and loves them. Let's hope that as more women stream into Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche showrooms, those antiquated notions will go the way of the Hummer.
Why are so many women plunking down tens of thousands on exotic cars? Simple, women now make money. Lots of it. We are surgeons, politicians, business owners and we are the primary shopping decision makers of our families. Even Ferrari Chairman di Montezemolo acknowledges the growing influence of women. "More and more it's couples, not just a man, who tours our factory," he says. "More and more the wife or girlfriend helps decide which car to buy and what color will be. The husband no longer just buys without the green light from his wife." Of course, we wonder if the woman's husband or boyfriend accompanies HER when SHE goes in to buy a Ferrari.
When Kim Kardashian recently purchased a white Ferrari 458, we aren't sure if she was alone. But we do know that she was in the driver's seat when she left the dealership.
No Longer A Silent Movie Actress
Taking Ferrari into the 21st century, di Montezemolo told the Standford students that design and technological innovation lead his company. "Since Enzo Ferrari passed away, Ferrari was like a big actress who no longer received good scripts from the studio," he says. "Ferrari was locked in a prison of the past. I had to think about the company differently, not just romanticize it but to make it romantic and relevant."
To that end, di Montezemolo prioritized Ferrari's purpose. "Number one is design," he says. "Number two is vehicle and engine technology and number three is innovation in terms of colors, interiors." And since the majority, if not the entirety of di Montezemolo's executive team is comprised of men, he had to figure a way to soften them up a bit, to give them something that would spark ideas about style and design.
"Sometimes, I give my engineers fashion magazines," says di Montezemolo. "They think I'm crazy but I want them to look at materials, colors and style. This is the world we live in, and Ferrari should be at the center of style and design."
My Favorite Sweater
Say you love a particular cashmere pullover that makes you smile every time you wear it. Under Ferrari's Personalization and Tailor-Made program, you can order your seats to be upholstered in Ballantyne Cashmere, known as the world's finest-quality cashmere and sold at places like Barney's and Harrod's. "We created Tailor-Made especially for women," says di Montezemolo. "You like your blue jeans, we can have the interior done in blue jean material. Or maybe you love the teak wood of a sail boat, we'll put that wood in the trunk. Whatever you imagine, we can do."
The bespoke attention to detail keeps Ferrari at the top of its game. And while Ferraris are increasingly parked in womens' garages, there are no plans to create a 'family' vehicle like competitor Lamborghini, which recently announced plans to make an aggressively styled family SUV called Urus. "Ferrari has to remain a dream. A very hedonistic dream," says di Montezemolo.
Ok, so when Ms. Kardashian one day gives birth to her little socialites, that fantastic Ferrari of hers will likely be kept company in the garage by Lambo's family hauler. Viva Italia!


In the beginning there was darkness and silence.
The darkness and silence were with God.
When I came into existence, they came to me.
The main character of The Documentary of the Month of February is Young-Chan, who lost his vision and hearing from a serious fever when very young. He often describes himself as a 'snail' since he has to rely only on his tactile senses, just as slowly as a snail, to communicate with others.
Being unable to speak other's language, he once believed he had been singled out from the world. But a woman of an angel walks into his life. Soon-Ho, as short as a little girl who is also disabled, changes his life dramatically. Being married to her, he explores the things he can neither see nor hear. The once lonely snail goes sleighing, swimming and writes essays, poems and even a script for a play, translating every experience into his unique words.
Although he does not get discouraged easily, obstacles still linger around him. He cannot go anywhere without Soon-Ho who is his translator and guide. In a meeting with a social worker one day, they realize they cannot be together forever and how vulnerable Young-Chang is without Soon-Ho.
Young-Chan begins to learn to walk with a blind stick, precariously for the first time in 40 years, while Soon-Ho stays home, alone for the first time in their marriage.
On February the 7th will be the premiere at 20:30h at Méliès Cinema of Barcelona.

Knott's Berry Farm offers line-cutting pass for popular rides
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
Knott's Berry Farm has quietly begun offering a fee-based, line-cutting pass for some of its most popular roller coasters and thrill rides.
The $40 Hate to Wait front-of-line pass made its debut in early December after a test run during the Buena Park theme park's Halloween Haunt event in October, officials said.
Sold at a kiosk just inside the main entrance, the optional line-cutting pass more doubles the $35 cost of admission to Knott's (for advance tickets purchased online).
Hate to Wait allows front-of-the-line access to five roller coasters (Silver Bullet, GhostRider, Pony Express, Sierra Sidewinder and Boomerang), the Supreme Scream drop tower, the Timber Mountain Log Ride and the Screamin' Swing (covering the extra fee to ride Screamin' Swing, normally $5).
The transferable pass provides one-time-only, front-of-the-line privileges for each of the eight rides. That means you can ride Silver Bullet once and your friend can then jump on GhostRider, but neither of you can ride Silver Bullet or GhostRider again with a single pass.
Knott's officials said the park will sell the Hate to Wait passes only on peak attendance days – and then only in limited quantities. Those peak periods are likely to include weekends, holidays and long stretches during the summer months.
The pass is decidedly low-tech, with employees marking off the Hate to Wait card each time a visitor boards a ride.
Curiously, Hate to Wait leaves out three coasters (Xcelerator, Jaguar and Montezooma's Revenge), two thrill rides (Rip Tide and La Revolucion), two water rides (Bigfoot Rapids and Perilous Plunge), the Calico Mine Ride and all the Camp Snoopy kiddie rides. Of those rides, Xcelerator and Bigfoot Rapids can experience hour-plus waits during the busy summer months.
Knott's officials said the eight Hate to Wait rides typically have the longest lines, noting that the pass may be updated to include additional rides if traffic patterns change.
It's too soon to say if the WindSeeker thrill ride, which will open at Knott's in the summer, will become part of the Hate to Wait program, officials said.
So far, none of Knott's sister parks in the Cedar Fair amusement park chain has announced plans for a similar front-of-the-line pass.
Knott's is late to the line-cutting game.
Universal Studios offers a Gate A front-of-the-line pass for an additional $45 at its Hollywood theme park and a similar Express Pass at its Orlando parks that costs $20 to $70 depending on the time of year.
Six Flags parks sell a Flash Pass that holds a virtual place in line for riders. The cost, which typically starts around $30 or $40 and rises with the perks, varies at each Six Flags park.
At Legoland California, the Premium Play Pass, for an additional $69, provides front-of-the-line ride privileges and reserved show seats.
Busch Gardens offers a Quick Queue pass that runs $30 to $45.
Disney pioneered the line-cutting trend at theme parks with its free FastPass ride reservation system – which allows visitors to return at a designated time and enter through a shorter line.

Q: Dependency Property Update Mechanism I have a custom control which is having a dependency property defined in it and my control implements INotifyPropertyChanged interface.
Dependency Property is Collection of Custom Objects.
Scenario 1
DP is of type List, whatever change I make in the list, nothing updated in MainUI, because I believe WPF does not understand adding and removing objects in list. it understands completely new references so to achieve this, whenever I want to update my list on control I use
MyProperty=new List();
In this approach, my DP callback fires everytime but eventArgs.NewValue always remains zero(it updated the list on UI correctly) but because I need to write some logic in property changed callback based on e.NewItems.Count, in this case that didn't work. Please tell me why e.NewItems does not work.
Scenario 2
DP is of type ObservableCollection, so as my collection property in view model against which I am binding my DP. in this case my property change callbacks does not fire at all, because I never use "new" keyword again after initialzing the property first time. UI updates but property change still not fires. So my logic in property change call back does not gets executed.
How should I make any of them or both of them working.

A: I would use the ObservableCollection approach, and subscribe to it's CollectionChanged event.
That way you will get notified whenever the collection has been changed.
But the other approach should work as well. When you set the regular list to a new instance, the PropertyChangedCallback will be fired for the dependency property, and by examining the DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs object you can get the new value.
XAML:
<StackPanel>
    <Button Content="Add to observablecollection" Click="click1" />
    <Button Content="Set list to new instance" Click="click2" />
</StackPanel>

Code-behind:
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
    public ObservableCollection<string> Strings { get; set; }

    public List<string> StringsList
    {
        get { return (List<string>)GetValue(StringsListProperty); }
        set { SetValue(StringsListProperty, value); }
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty StringsListProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("StringsList", typeof(List<string>), typeof(Window), new PropertyMetadata(null, StringsListPropertyChanged));

    public Window1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        Strings = new ObservableCollection<string>();
        Strings.CollectionChanged += strings_CollectionChanged;

        StringsList = new List<string> { "Test1", "Test2", "Test3", "Test4" };
    }

    void strings_CollectionChanged(object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        //Fires everytime the observablecollection has an item added/removed etc.
        MessageBox.Show(string.Format("ObservableCollection has changed! Count is now {0}", this.Strings.Count.ToString()));

        if (this.Strings.Count == 10)
            Console.WriteLine("Collection contains 10 strings!!");
    }

    private static void StringsListPropertyChanged(DependencyObject e, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args)
    {
        var newCount = ((List<string>)args.NewValue).Count.ToString();
        MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Dependency property has changed! Count is now {0}", newCount));
    }

    private void click1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.Strings.Add("Test1");
    }

    private void click2(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.StringsList = new List<string> { "Newitem1", "Newitem2" };
    }
}

A: ObservableCollection inherits from both INotifyPropertyChanged and INotifyCollectionChanged.  I think if you want to know when the collection changed you should use this interface:
INotifyCollectionChanged


Attack 5-3 through the neutral zone and play 5-5 at each end.
1. RF1-2-3 and RD1-2 attack 5-3 vs. BF1 and BD1-2.
2. BF1-2 follow from the line-up in nzone and cover points making it a 5-5.
3. Five blue players attack 5-3 vs. RD3-4 through the neutral zone.
4. RF5-6 follow from the line-up in nzone and cover points making it a 5-5.
5. Original 5 red attackers return to the neutral zone line-up.
6. Continue this transition game with the 5 red defenders transitioning to attack 3 blue defenders in the neutral zone.


There is still reservation among some in the medical community as to whether mood disorders, such as depression, are, in fact, associated with Lyme disease. The authors of a study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases explore the possible connection.
Depression was identified using the Dutch version of the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) questionnaire. The BDI-II scale has been used as a screening tool for patients who might benefit from further psychological evaluation for diagnosing depression.
Using the BDI-II scale, the prevalence of moderate/severe depressive symptoms was similar between patients with clinical Lyme disease whether they presented with positive or negative serologic testing (19.3% and 20.9% respectively).

Tinder's Interracial Couple Emoji Project Will Bring These Characters To Phones This Year
By Sanam Yar

As the old saying goes, an emoji is worth a thousand words — especially when it comes to dating apps. Did love even exist before you were able to send a significant other a heart eyes emoji? Honestly, I'm not convinced. Whether you're using dating apps or not, emojis have kind of become a universal language critical to most peoples' texting experience. After all, why say it in words, when you can say it with an emoji? In a similar vein, Tinder began the "Interracial Couple Emoji Project" last year, which is exactly what it sounds like: a Change.org petition for "emoji equality" via emoji representation of interracial couples. More than 50,000 signatures later, Tinder's campaign has officially been deemed a victory; the interracial couple emoji proposal has officially been accepted among the new roster of emojis for 2019.
The new emojis will be available in the fall, offering four combinations of genders and all the corresponding skin tone combinations for a total of 71 new variations. Emojis for people of color and for same-sex couples were authorized in 2015, so the goal of creating an interracial couple emoji, Tinder explained in the online petition, was to represent all types of love. One in six marriages in the U.S. were interracial in 2015, according to Pew Research Center — a significant jump from just three percent of marriages being interracial in 1967, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled such unions legal in the landmark Loving v. Virginia case.
"I'm signing because I'm a black woman crazy in love with a wild red-haired man, and I desperately want to see emojis that represent us!" one petition signer wrote. "I want to see people like me and my partner...two women, one black, one white," wrote another.

"Tinder advocates for the freedom of people to live how they want to live and love who they want to love," said Jenny Campbell, CMO of Tinder, in a statement. "The success of our Interracial Couple Emoji campaign shows how powerful the voices are of the more than 50,000 people who joined our cause by signing our petition; together, we affected change and ensured visual representation for interracial couples around the world. I couldn't be more proud of this incredibly positive outcome."
New emojis must be approved by the Unicode Consortium, a group of computer and software corporations based in Silicon Valley that are the gatekeepers of all things emoji. According to Reuters, the group approves roughly 50 to 100 new emojis every year, not including the different skin tones for human emoji. To be approved, emoji undergo a rigorous application and review process. People get really passionate about these apps, as evidenced by this 40-page proposal for an emoji of yerba mate, the popular South American tea .
"Tinder and the more than 50,000 people who signed their petition proved that love can not only move mountains, it can also help create emojis," Michael Jones, Change.org's Managing Director of Campaigns, said in a statement. The addition of the interracial couple emoji helps make the language more inclusive and representative of a diverse population.
