Catterall, J., & Waldorf, L. (1999). Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education summary evaluation. In E. Fiske (Ed.), Champions of change: The impact of the arts on learning (pp. 47-62). The Arts Education Partnership and The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. Washington, DC.
This study evaluates the Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (CAPE), a program that provided grants to schools to form partnerships between local artists, arts agencies, and teachers to integrate arts across the school curriculum. When the program was fully implemented, it encompassed 37 schools, 53 professional arts organizations, and 27 community organizations. The evaluation reports on the program's impacts on the classroom, students, teachers, and artists, and on the support the program received from schools and communities in Chicago.
There were four main categories of findings: (1) impact on the classroom, (2) effects on teachers and artists, (3) impact on students, and (4) support from school- and community- based groups.
Teachers and artists were more likely to integrate arts into reading.
Visual art was the most popular art form with teachers.
Teachers and artists collaborated greatly in the preparation and instruction of the arts integrated lessons.
Teachers bought into the implementation of the program.
Although teacher participation in CAPE-provided professional development was low, teachers found the professional development useful.
Students in CAPE schools performed better in reading and mathematics than students from comparison schools, however, the difference was statistically significant only at the elementary school level and not at the high school level.
School principals and community arts organizations were supportive of the implementation of CAPE.
The report summarizes findings from an arts-integration program that spanned five years. The report provides important insight into the effects of the program on various stakeholders, including students and teachers. Findings indicate that implementing such a program could be beneficial to schools, teachers, students, and the community. The report could be useful to inform arts organizations, community agencies, or schools interested in implementing a similar program.
The CAPE program provided grants to schools to form partnerships between local artists, arts agencies, and teachers to integrate arts into the curriculum. To evaluate the program, researchers collected data through document review, surveys, case studies, classroom observations, interviews, and focus groups. Evaluators collected and analyzed Iowa Test of Basic Skills data to evaluate the program's impact on student achievement in reading and mathematics.
The evaluation focused on one program. The results of the evaluation are only relevant to the CAPE program and caution should be used if the results are to be generalized to other arts-integration programs.
How did the level of implementation affect the outcomes? Did higher-implementing sites have more positive results? Would implementation of the program in other settings, such as rural or suburban areas, result in similar findings?


Oil and gas industry has its ups and downs like any other industry. Yet, people are cautious about this industry because they fear the uncertainty that comes along with it. However, it is important to understand that any industry comes with a list of pros and cons. You just need to be aware of the benefits and also be careful about the drawbacks. Now, the major problem with the industry is the vastness. You need to know that the industry is too closely connected with the political world. This is also something which will require you to be aware of the law of other country. For this reason, a consultant who knows the industry would be helpful for you to scheme and make a difference.
Cody Winters has been working with the oil and gas industry professionals for a long time. From his experience he has learnt a lot about the industry. He has seen the ups and downs. He has also learnt thatwith care and proper planning it is possible to earn a lot of money from this industry. There are numbers of benefits of the oil and gas industry. Here you need to understand the drawbacks well, to make it work for you. At the initial stage you would not be able to gauge the pitfalls. However, with time and proper practice you would surely be able to tackle the problems of the industry.
Those who know how to play, the industry has presented opportunities which had proven to be profitable for them. The best thing about the industry is the limitedalternatives. Oil is used by every country of the world. However, very few have the option of getting oil from their own country. You just cannot create anoil field just because your fancy has struck you to do it, right?
This is not just used for transportation. Oil and gas get used for other reasons as well. These get used for cooking and other related things including heating. Therefore, you can see that the options for use are vast, yet the availability is limited. This is the reason, why oil and gas industry despite all the risks and complications is so attractive to the people who want to invest in it.
Cody Winters urges everyone to learn about the industry before making any decision. Because, there are political connections exist in this industry, you might end up facing complications beyond your control. The best way to handle such issue is by erasing it before it arises. Additionally, you would need proper guidance so that you can make plans for profit. Also, you need to predict the future problems which might arise.
In case, you are looking for a consultant, it is important that you look for someone who has years of experience in this industry. You need to find someone who can predict the future. Someone who has worked with a lot of investors will be able to help you make the right plan for investment. To be safe, you can inquire about the experience of the consultant as well.

Our Tale
Account hide
Vecino Vineyard
Potter Valley AVA
CCOF certified organic
When the water in the east fork of the Russian River is running high, the whir of a hydropower generator can just be heard over the river's turbulence. This generator provides electricity to much of the sparsely-populated Potter Valley, and is located on the edge of the Vecino Vineyard property. The guy who keeps the turbines in good working order is Vecino's owner, Luke Miller, who formerly used his wrench-turning skills for ski lift maintenance (a.k.a. highly-skilled ski bumming) in Tahoe, and who purchased the Vecino Vineyard in 2003. Fortunately, the best parts of ski season don't overlap too much with grape-growing season, during which Luke is almost single-mindedly committed to growing good wine.
The Vecino Vineyard is located near the northeast corner of Potter Valley, about 30 minutes' drive outside of Ukiah in Mendocino County. The Sauvignon block, planted in the late 80's, climbs a south-facing slope above the headwaters of the east fork of the Russian River. Potter Valley is known for sweltering hot days and piercingly cold nights. While these extremes present challenges, they're ideal for keeping the grapes' natural acidity intact through the ripening season, and they also mean disease pressure is low. The soils are alluvial plain deposits derived from the Franciscan Complex bedrock of the hills that ring the valley. At Vecino, it goes from sandy loam on the hillsides to clay-rich loam in lower areas.
"Conscientious" might be the best word to describe the farming at Vecino. Luke pays close attention and gives incredible care to his vineyard. This means keeping the soil healthy by avoiding any herbicides and by applying biodynamic practices. It also means intervention only when it's really needed. Working this way in the favorable environment of Potter Valley means that Luke is able to get through many seasons without spraying a thing!
Adel's Vineyard
Dry Creek Valley AVA
Non-certified organic
Restaurateur Adel Atallah bought his small hillside property outside Healdsburg back in the 1990's. The attractions of the place are obvious – a beautiful view of the Dry Creek Valley, a seasonal creek, and a good supply of water among them. At the top of the property sits a fabulous house with broad palm trees lining the drive.
Adel is known in Sonoma County as a master of the greasy spoon breakfast, and along with generous helpings, his restaurants are known for great service and a connection to community. Back in 2001, when Adel was considering what to do with the land between the house and Dry Creek Road, this community spirit moved him to plant what made Dry Creek Valley famous: Zinfandel.
The soil at Adel's is a brownish gravelly clay-loam, with numerous fist-size rocks that would make mechanical mowing a messy affair. Thus, the mostly native ground cover is managed entirely by weed eater. Though the vineyard has been farmed organically for the past 10 years, this was not the case early on. Since we took over farming the site, we have concentrated on the soil, re-invigorating with compost and tilth-improving cover crops, and by pruning back the vines to where the wood is healthy and free of disease. There are a few areas with weak or dying vines that we will try to rehabilitate or replant in the coming years.
Rosewood Vineyards' Talmage Ranch Vineyard
Mendocino AVA
When you're driving through the little village of Talmage, a couple miles east of Ukiah, you get a sense of stepping back in time. The homes and storefronts are aging and modest, fresh paint jobs are few and far between. It's always a bit of a shock when passing the old, mechanical pumps of the town's one gas station to be confronted with a spectacular golden gate, beyond which lies the City of 10,000 Buddhas – one of the largest Buddhist communities in the western hemisphere. The City's property covers hundreds of acres, and it includes the Talmage Ranch vineyard, which was already well established when the monastery acquired the property in 1974.
The Buddhist ethic of ahimsa is the rule here. Roughly summarized as "do no harm," ahimsa requires that Tia and Troy Satterwhite of Rosewood Vineyards, who lease the Talmage Ranch from the Buddhists, must farm the ranch organically. Fortunately, the Satterwhites are practiced in organic grape farming, and the hot, dry climate keeps disease pressure to a minimum. Most of the weeds dry up early in the season, and the ones that endure exist humbly in the shade of vines whose trunks are as big as your thigh. The true physical limitation of the site is that there is no water available for irrigation. The giant old vines, which were planted in the 1940's, couldn't care less about this little inconvenience – they have equally giant root systems that tap into water reserves way down deep in the alluvial soils.
Waterhorse Ridge Vineyard
Fort Ross-Seaview AVA, Sonoma Coast AVA
From their 1700′ elevation, the vines of Waterhorse Ridge have quite a view – rugged, redwood-covered terrain, a view of the Pacific and its unearthly coastal fog, many of the Sonoma Coast's most famous Pinot Noir vineyards. Some would say it's no place to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. Thanks to the vineyard's owners, Patricia and Jesus, we beg to differ.
Patricia Greer and her husband Jesus Velasquez bought their land in the 1990's with the goal of starting a family, growing diverse crops and raising a few animals. They planted 2-acres to vines in 1997, the same year their first child Jesus ("Jesusito" around the ranch) was born. At that time, the Sonoma Coast was still something of a new frontier to grape growers, but most of the area's new growers were betting on Pinot Noir. Jesus and Patricia figured that a mix of thicker-skinned Bordeaux varieties (mostly Cabernet Sauvignon) would better withstand the coastal moisture, and would also have the "little black dress" sort of versatility to carry through the fickle turns of the wine market.
Waterhorse Ridge enjoys a cool coastal climate, but gets plenty of hot days due to its high perch on Stewart Ridge. The soil is rocky, well-drained loam derived from uplifted ocean floor sediments and basalts. Jesus and Jesusito farm the vineyard meticulously, managing the vines' canopy by hand and keeping any other inputs to a minimum. In all but the hardest years, they've been able to limit spraying to one or two sulfur applications in a season. The old horse and the burro grazing in the vineyard keep the cover crop (mostly clover) maintained during the winters; a Jack Russell and a small army of cats keep the gophers in check. Other than limited irrigations in recent drought seasons, the vineyard has been dry-farmed for many years.
Patricia's Waterhorse Ridge preserves, salsas, and other goodies can be found at some of Sonoma County's best grocery stores and farmers markets: http://waterhorseridge.com
Gianoli Ranch Vineyard
Mendocino Ridge AVA
Non-certified Organic (transitioned from conventional starting 2019)
The Gianoli family immigrated from Prata, Italy in 1882 and soon after planted 20 acres of Zinfandel. The old winery and tavern they built is still onsite, and in the early days locals could enjoy Gianoli wines for 40 cents a gallon. The ranch hosted both overnight ranch guests and passing locals in its tavern, where there are names carved into the bar and walls with dates as far back as the 1900's. Current owners Mike and Jenny Kelly spend their summers at the ranch, and grow enough food in their garden to feed an army.
With soils derived from broken-down sandstone, phylloxera never came to Gianoli, and the old vines made it past the 100-year mark before being replaced in 1993. The replacement cuttings came from the Pronsolino vineyard (now DuPratt), another historic Mendocino Ridge site, boasting the only virus-free old vine Zinfandel in California.
The sandy soils are nutrient-poor but deep, and the vines are own-rooted and mostly dry farmed. Vine vigor is low, and production is modest at best. Vineyard manager Steve Alden grew up in the area, and has been farming grapes on the Mendocino Ridge's "islands in the fog" for decades. We pitch in and help Steve and his crew with winter composting and pruning, and try to help out when we can through the rest of the season.
Perli Vineyard
Herbicide-free, transitioning to organic
"Mendocino Ridge" is the name given to the rugged range of mountains that's bordered on the east by Anderson Valley, and on the west by Mendocino's Pacific coast. Defined by elevation and mostly still untamed, the Mendocino Ridge AVA exists as something of an archipelago – a discontinuous series of peaks and ridge tops that are often the only land exposed above a sea of Pacific fog. Alongside the usual challenges of growing grapes in the coastal environment, farmers here often face losing a few vines' worth of ripening fruit in night-time raids by the local bears.
Early settlers to the area made something of a living by harvesting tan oak bark, which they collected and shipped off to tanneries across the country. Hailing from places like Lombardy, Italy, these immigrant farmers planted chestnuts and grapes on the same ridge tops where they found enough flat space to build their homes and enough sunshine to grow food.
In 1951, the Alden family bought a 2,000-acre ranch on Mendocino Ridge that includes historic vineyard sites. It also includes the 2,000-foot-elevation "Potato Patch", a reasonably flat field of richer soil where several settler families once grew their spuds. Steve Alden, the current owner, chose low-yielding selections of Chardonnay from both California and Burgundy and planted his vines in the old potato patch. Steve and his long-time crew (they have been working together for over 15 years now) are careful farmers, often doing by hand work that's done by tractors in most California vineyards.

Mach1 Kart: More would have been possible in Genk!
Mach1 Motorsport and their drivers Nicolai Hagenaes (KFJ) and John Norris (KF) travelled to the WSK Euro Series' final in Belgian Genk and aimed for top ten positions. Unfortunately, in the end the team came out under their value after diversified races.
Nicolai Hagenaes met strong competition at the juniors again. 73 drivers from 21 nations had come to Belgium and were able to impress due to an incredible power density. During qualifying, the entire field was only separated by a few tenths of seconds. Nicolai placed on 48th position with his Mach1 Kart and was very optimistic regarding the following four Heats. Unfortunately, a couple of fights in midfield caused him to lose important positions. By achieving 9th place during the last Heat, he was still able to prove his possibilities and achieved entering the pre-final. "Our clear goal is entering the finals", team leader Martin Hetschel highlighted in the evening. Two accidents during the pre-final caused his hopes to fade away though. At the finish line, he was only on 22nd position despite his fast lap times and had to go home early. "That was really bad luck. After a quarrel during the start, he was on a good way. Then another accident followed though. What a pity, this could have been a great final. Our chassis has worked very well under these summerlike conditions as well", said Martin Hetschel in the evening.
John Norris experienced a mixed weekend in the strongly manned KF class. He had to fight with unpredictable losses of performance again and again and therefore wasn't able to prove his talents the way he usually does. After problems during qualifying, he started into the Heats from 7th starting row respectively. Despite a complete falling out during the first Heat, he achieved a promising 24th starting position for the pre-final and set a course by achieving 5th and 9th places during the Heats. During the pre-final, he was then able to fight his way forward to 17th position, but had no chance of actively influencing the racing events. During the final, he only reached 24th place in the end. "Just like with Nicolai, more would have been possible here. During his last two Heats, John was able to show where we could have gone. Now we unfortunately don't have countable results. We'll now have to sort out the problems until the next race", Martin Hetschel summed up the events.


Following class bees, the top spellers in the sixth grade at Shore Road School competed against one another in the schoolwide spelling bee on March 22.
Held the last Friday before spring break, the intense 49-minute competition finished with Morgan Useloff spelling "trapeze" and "checkered" correctly to take the title of top sixth-grade speller. This year's runner-up was Sahla Mokaria.


Judah Friedlander (one of the quickest minds and very finest stand-ups in comedy; 30 Rock, Meet the Parents, Along Came Polly, author of bestselling cartoon book If the Raindrops United) releases a black & white stand-up special via Netflix on Halloween that he wrote, performed, directed, produced, and edited from numerous sets he performed this year at the West VIllage's Comedy Cellar. TItled America is the Greatest Country in the United States, much of the material is a response to our current insane Trump era. According to Judah, the 84-minute special "mostly satirizes American Exceptionalism, including U.S. domestic & foreign policy; it's a comedy about racism, sexism, imperialism, climate change, health care, LGBTQ rights, fascism, drones, and mass incarceration."

New insights into upper MOW variability over the last 150 kyr from IODP 339 Site U1386 in the Gulf of Cadiz
Kaboth, S.; Bahr, A.; Reichart, G.-J.; Jacobs, B.; Lourens, L.J. (2016). New insights into upper MOW variability over the last 150 kyr from IODP 339 Site U1386 in the Gulf of Cadiz. Mar. Geol. 377: 136–145. dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2015.08.014

The upper Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) paleo-oceanographic history in the Gulf of Cadiz is poorly constrained due to the lack of high-resolution records that pre-date the last glaciation. Existing proxy records concentrate on MOW variability along the middle slope of the Gulf of Cadiz. Here we present a continuous high-resolution benthic foraminifera d18O record from the upper MOW core at IODP Expedition 339 Site U1386 in the Gulf of Cadiz of the past 150,000 years. Based on d18O, grain-size and Zr/Al variability comparison of our results with existing Mediterranean Sea (MD01-2472, MD95-2043), open ocean (LR04) and Gulf of Cadiz (MD99-2339) records we have gathered new insights into the evolution of the upper MOW core on glacial–interglacial timescales. The influence of the upper MOW at Site U1386 was strongest during MIS 5 and MIS 1. Similar d18O variability can be seen in the Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) originating from the Levantine Basin of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. We found clear indication for a vertical shift of the MOW from the upper to the middle slope of the Gulf of Cadiz during sea level lowstands coinciding with MIS 4 and MIS 2 but also during MIS 3. Additionally, our results indicate an increased upper MOW flow correlated with Heinrich Events 7 to 10 and the Younger Dryas, and also inversely relate to precession-forced monsoonal freshwater inputs into the Eastern Mediterranean. In the context of Sapropel formation, we could not find conclusive evidence of the proposed MOW shutdown in our data.

Patient-Reported Outcome Instruments in Heart Failure
Are They Preserved?

Despite constituting approximately one-half of all patients with a heart failure (HF) syndrome, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains understudied and enigmatic compared to its sibling, HF with reduced EF (HFrEF). Improved care for patients with HFpEF has been impeded by multiple issues including the absence of a unified definition, poor comprehension of its underlying pathophysiology, and a relative inability to even understand the patients' experience. Because investigational therapeutic interventions have been unable to reduce mortality for patients with HFpEF, the focus has shifted to target patient symptoms and well-being evaluated principally by using patient-reported outcomes (PRO) instruments.
PRO instruments collect data directly from patients without adulteration or interpretation by clinicians or other individuals. Validated PRO questionnaires for HFpEF could facilitate development and implementation of novel therapeutics and increase clinical trial efficiency by proving that an intervention improves health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Two of the most robustly evaluated heart failure disease-specific PROs are the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), both of which were initially developed for patients with HFrEF (1). PROs and the KCCQ in particular are slated for a larger role in HF outcomes assessment with the recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Centers for Devices and Radiological Health qualification decision allowing the KCCQ to be used as a medical device development tool (2). Nonetheless, the utility of these PROs in the evaluation and management of patients with HFpEF remains uncertain (1,3).
Full evaluation of PRO tools for clinical utility and research purposes and for regulators involves psychometric testing and examination of evidence across numerous domains. These domains include content validity (that the PRO measures the concept of interest), construct validity (evidence that PRO predictably correlates with similar alternative assessment tools), reproducibility (includes test-retest reliability), internal consistency (the extent to which items within a PRO measure the same concept, measured by Cronbach's alpha), ability to detect change (evidence that the PRO can detect change or responsiveness), and whether there is a responder definition (empirically determined PRO change that can be interpreted as a treatment benefit) (1). Because the pathophysiology of symptoms in HFpEF may be distinct from those in HFrEF, PRO tools may not be transferable between the disease states; the validity of extrapolating PRO measures to HFpEF should be appraised based on structured examination of the aforementioned domains.
To address whether the most robust HFrEF PROs may be useful for HFpEF, in this issue of JACC: Heart Failure Napier et al. (4) evaluated some of the instruments' important attributes in a well-characterized, small HFpEF clinical trial population. These patients were >50 years of age, had a left ventricular ejection fraction of >50%, and had objective evidence of heart failure with either hospitalization (including radiographic evidence of pulmonary congestion, elevated left ventricular filling pressures quantitated by invasive hemodynamics, or elevated natriuretic peptides) or echocardiographic evidence of diastolic dysfunction. All 110 patients from the NEAT (Nitrate Effect on Activity Tolerance in Heart Failure) trial were included in this secondary analysis, but only 78 completed baseline and 6-week follow-up MLHFQ assessments, whereas 108 patients provided KCCQ data.
The 2 PRO assessments were frequently not in agreement, with only fair κ value of 0.36. Nonetheless, both the KCCQ and the MLHFQ demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach α: >0.9) overall, and within most subdomains. The summary or total scores either inversely or directly correlated with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class with absolute Pearson correlation coefficients ≥0.3; however, the KCCQ scores for the 6-min walk distance were better correlated. Unsurprisingly, neither correlated well with N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide concentrations, which are typically insensitive for diagnosis and for therapy in patients with HFpEF, and further reinforces the fact that changes in natriuretic peptides and myocardial stretch do not appropriately represent the patients' experience or symptom severity for people with HFpEF. There was a statistically significant correlation between the KCCQ clinical summary score and accelerometry, but the association was modest. Unfortunately, as seen for patients with HFrEF, the PROs were able to measure functional improvements better than worsenings. In this regard to responsiveness, the MLHFQ appeared slightly superior to the KCCQ.
The work of Napier et al. (4) recapitulates prior results for the KCCQ within a prospective registry of 200 patients with HFpEF defined by left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50% (3). Patients were younger those than in the study by Napier et al. (4) (mean 60 vs. 69 years of age), fewer patients were white (76% vs. 89%, respectively), more patients were taking diuretic drugs (79% vs. 65%, respectively), fewer patients had hypertension (63% vs. 90%, respectively), and fewer patients had ischemic heart disease (14% vs. 62%, respectively), although other baseline variables were similar. This work evaluated criterion standards of NYHA functional class as well as deaths and all-cause hospitalization to establish internal and construct validity for patients with HFpEF. The Cronbach alpha values were 0.96 for the overall summary score and >0.80 for all but the self-efficacy scores. Notably, removal of self-efficacy items in a separate study appeared not to affect the psychometric performance for a short version of the KCCQ (5). The correlation coefficient between KCCQ and NYHA functional class results was −0.62 for patients with HFpEF, and KCCQ discriminated between subjects with higher and lower 1-year mortality and hospitalization rates. The predictive validity of KCCQ scores for heart failure outcomes suggested that the KCCQ meaningfully captured at least some essential aspect of the HFpEF disease trajectory.
Strengths of the study by Napier et al. (4) include the well-defined patient population, uniform implementation and capture of PRO measurements, direct comparison of the 2 most robust PRO assessment tools available for HF, and the use of multiple criterion standards. The studies by Joseph et al. (3) and Napier et al. (4) remain somewhat limited because the KCCQ and the MLHFQ were designed for use with HFrEF rather than HFpEF. Neither study used qualitative methods to ensure concept saturation for patients with HFpEF, experiments to determine content validity by identifying symptoms and functional limitations that unique impair health status with HFpEF. Demonstration of test-retest reliability is lacking, there is no clear anchored responder definition for these PROs for patients with HFpEF, and these tools are poorly responsive to worsening in health status. Nonetheless, the paper by Napier et al. (4) adds to current reports that support using established PROs for the study and monitoring of patients with HFpEF.
It has been well demonstrated that few biochemical, echocardiographic, or functional parameters appropriately define HFpEF, and the futility of developing a definition may stem from the heterogeneity of phenotypes and presentations of HFpEF (6). Whether HFpEF should even be considered a type of heart failure is a frequent question. However, this fruitful foray into HRQoL for patients with HFpEF suggests that heart failure is a key component of the syndrome, even if more work needs to be done. Moving toward an improved and measurable definition of the patients' experience for those with HF without reduced ejection fraction is the way forward, and this is a welcome next step.

Q: Android: If Map contains Value, Change Button Resource Not Working I have a favourites button and I want it to change it's image depending on whether an ID is found in a favourites map, however it doesn't seem to be working.
Here is my code:
boolean containsShop = false;
             for (Map<String, String> hashMap : TabsViewPagerFragmentActivity.favouritesData)
                {

                    containsShop = hashMap.containsValue(shopID);

                }

             if(containsShop) {
                 isFavourite = true;
                 favouritesBtn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.is_a_favourite);
             }  else {

                 isFavourite = false;
                 favouritesBtn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.favourite_normal);
             }

It seems to set the button to R.drawable.favourite_normal even if the ID is in the map.
What am I doing wrong?
Edit:
Sorry I copied the wrong code. - I just noticed that it only seems to set the Button to
R.drawable.is_a_favourite if the object was the last object added to the favouritesData ArrayList

A: containsShop = hashMap.containsValue(shopID);

replace this
containsVenue = hashMap.containsValue(shopID);
^^^^^^^^^^^^

A: and add a break statement in the for loop, if you found the value. Otherwise in next iteration of your loop, the boolean value may be overwritten.
containsShop= hashMap.containsValue(shopID);
if (containsShop) break;

Sadly, the casual approach to life, work, and even to all things ministry, has even found its sly way into our fundamental churches and our fundamental circles. Sloppy has seemed to become the unpronounced slogan of so many. I want to echo the words of the Apostle of the Gentiles, in this hour,…"I MAGNIFY MY OFFICE"! This attitude must start in the pulpit, if the pew is ever to aim at it, as their aspirations, as well.
Dress is direction! Tragic when news anchors can find a suit and necktie reporting the news, but preachers of the gospel, can't find a suit and necktie to DELIVER THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL! Some preachers have let Shaggy, from Scooby Doo, become the fashion consultant.
Since being a God called preacher is the highest calling on planet earth, I shouldn't act like a clown, cruise ship director nor a comedian!
Words are the tools of a man of God. He ought to always be making sure that he's extremely articulate. Best not to shoot off at the mouth, because that's how you'll get shot in the foot!

Q: Css for results page with 3 columns I'm struggling with a 3 columns css item. It's for a search results page. There are 3 blocks, one for image, one for text and the last one for the price (and other infos).
Everything is working with the middle column doesn't contains too much text. But once I have more text the column 2 takes the full width and cause a line break.
See images.
Here is the code :

Thanks for your help !

A: Its because you columns are missing a width.  You've done the right thing by floating them but you need to give them a width which could be a % or in px.  Something like
#results img {
    padding:10px;
    float:left;
    width: 100px; /* Added width */
}
#results .info {
    padding:10px 20px 10px 10px;
    height:100px;
    float:left;
    width: 200px; /* Added width */
}
#results .price {
    padding:10px 20px 10px 10px;
    border-left:1px solid #e9e9e9;
    height:100px;
    width: 100px; /* Added width */
    float:right
}

If you're defining the width in pixels like I have done you need to take into account the width of any parent div's and also any padding applied.

A: Try using
.item a {
  display: flex;
  display: ms-flex;
  display: -webkit-flex;
}

A: You can add some width to the class info
ie.
#results .info {
padding: 10px 20px 10px 10px;
height: 100px;
float: left;
width: 40%;
}

A: make middle .info block float:none and margin left and right with size of image and price block:
#results img {
    width:150px;/*fixed or percent size here*/
    padding:10px;
    float:left;
}
#results .price {
    width:150px;/*fixed or percent size here*/
    float:right;
    padding:10px 20px 10px 10px; border-left:1px solid #e9e9e9; height:100px;
}

#results .info {
    float:none; /*float none!*/
    margin-left:160px; /* width of img here*/
    margin-right:160px; /* width of price here*/
    padding:10px 20px 10px 10px;  height:100px;
}

A: *

*Remove the float property on .info

*Put the
...
 before the
...
  in the html markup.

See this FIDDLE.
This will keep the reponsiveness of the element.


Sabiam que a primeira edição de verão do Kids Clothes Week está a decorrer esta semana? Tem site novo (bem giro por sinal) e, como sempre, muitas ideias fantásticas!
Este top foi costurado de propósito para a KCW e demorou pouco mais de uma hora a terminar. A Teresa adorou o conjunto com os calções encarnados e levou-o logo vestido para a escola. Aproveitei para fazer lá uma rapidíssima sessão fotográfica.
O molde é produção caseira (com base no fantástico Popover Sundress da Oliver and S) e o tecido foi comprado na feira de carcavelos por 2 euros o metro!
Did you know that the first summer edition of the Kids Clothes Week is taking place this week? It has a brand new site (with a great design, by the way) and, as always, lots of fantastic ideas!
This top was sewn on purpose for KCW and it took me just over an hour to finish. Teresa loved her new outfit (she paired it with these old red shorts) and wore it to school today. Here she is ringing the school bell!
The pattern is self draft (based on the wonderful Popover Sundress by Oliver and S) and the fabric was purchased for 2 euros per meter in Carcavelos' Street Market! Isn't it lovely?!
I love this color combination! It's lovely and cheerful.
This is lovely for the hot weather. The fabric reminds me of Girls's school sundresses in Enland- light and airy.
Gosto muito da combinação das cores.
Beautiful! Does it open somehow or is she able to pull it over her head as-is?
It's pull over head. Super easy to dress!
Adoro o detalhe da fita encarnada - acho que ainda não tinha visto esta forma de juntar as partes (e ainda mais é super prático).

The next Sins of a Solar Empire expansion packed entitled Diplomacy is scheduled to hit a public beta this Fall, that according to a Stardock employee blog post. Diplomacy will add new diplomacy features and new diplomatic tech-tree options to research, including the ability to form treaties with other alien races and trade treaties with other races.
So instead of firing guns and blowing up star bases, your co-op sessions can be a little more peaceful. But where's the fun in that? Expect Diplomacy to be available next Winter after an extensive beta.

MISA journalists court application hearing adjourned to Monday
The matter in which MISA Zimbabwe is seeking a High Court order interdicting police officers and other law enforcement agents from interfering with the work of journalists during the COVID-19 lockdown was adjourned to Monday, 20 April 2020.
This followed commencement of the matter before High Court judge, Justice Manzunzu, in Harare on 17 April 2020. The Police Commissioner-General represented by the Attorney-General's Office, is the first respondent in the matter while the Zimbabwe Media Commission is the second respondent.
MISA Zimbabwe is the first applicant while journalist Panashe Makufa, is the second applicant.
According to lawyer Chris Mhike, who is representing the applicants, The Zimbabwe Republic Police, represented by the Attorney-General's (AG) Office, is opposing the application arguing that journalists are not defined as providers of an essential service under the COVID-19 regulations.
The Commissioner-General of Police, through the AG's Office, contends that only journalists from the "broadcasting service and Internet" are exempted from the lockdown regulations. The Zimbabwe Media Commission did not oppose the application.
Justice Manzunzu adjourned the hearing to Monday to allow the applicants' lawyer, Mhike, to respond to submissions by the Attorney-General's Office.

Welcome to the brand new Rainbow Bridge to Harmony & Healing Vibrational Bath Sacred Salts Page which includes Astro Aura Sacred Salts Colour & Numerology Reading information.
As a healer & therapist with 25 years of practice in energetic modalities in healing, counselling therapies & coaching including Aromatherapy, Aura Soma (colour healing) and Vibrational Healing, I have created these energy vibrational bath salts as a resource to my clients to help them to regain balance amongst other things in my work with them. The salts were created in June 2018 for the Rainbow Bridge to Harmony and Healing Workshop and after following my divine guidance.
I had been working with the salts for 20 years plus but never on a public platform and its what I used to get though teaching weekends or 18 hr days ever since my journey in holistic therapies began 25 years ago.
Bathing in bath salts is not new! Throughout time, salts have been reported on for the value, both in the bible and in history, salt was such a powerful commodity that it was used as a medium of financial exchange. Of course in early history, we did not have a composition of breakdown of salts and what the minerals did to our body, that came later with the understanding of biochemistry and advancements in science.
These are extremely powerful vibrational salts that will act on a molecular level with your aura and energy field and as an added bonus the salts can also be left in a room to purify the atmosphere and leave behind a pleasant aroma as well – so they are a good aid for space and energy clearing. I was led to create these powerful salts using traditional blending means and esoteric vibrational energy healing into the mix – energy frequency for the 21st century.
I am passionate about working with tools that help our wellbeing and maintain a positive mind-set by bringing harmony and balance to the body and the mind through our senses & beyond.
The salts are designed to clear, rejuvenate and bring balance to your body and mind on the rainbow bridge of light – meaning the chakras and hence the name of the salts, and the emotional connection we have with the body and our energy fields and of course the element of water as the body is made up of 60% water.
Our thoughts and emotions can affect us on physical, mental and emotional levels. There is a link between mind & body, emotions & illness & when we are stressed we hold tension in the body. The salts are designed to work on an energetic level using harmonic and vibrational healing, using amongst others sound, colour, light frequency and of course salts.
The salts having their debut for sale Unity Celebration day July 28th 2018 at St Ethelburgas Church in London.
The pack also has an affirmation to help you create a positive mind set. We reflect what we think so positive affirmations are a great way to promote positive self talk and reduce stress. There is more on mindset in my metaphysical page and what the "I AM" presence is about in relation to affirmations.
Where there are energy blocks the salts will help pinpoint them on a causal field and when you work with them as in custom blending I can go deeper in removing any blocks in a session. The light rays you see on the wall are the colours of the energy reflected back as I create the salts and your affirmation cards. This is literally the energy that bounces off the walls and into the packs.
These are powerful hand mixed salts, blended with a combination of natural sea & mineral salts such as Epsom, Pink Himalayan, Magnesium, Potassium & Dead Sea Salts which when combined contain natural ingredients such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, bromide and sodium hold vital nutrients & rich minerals our bodies needs when depleted. They act to keep the skin soft, smooth and supple. I only use pure sea and mineral salts with no caking agents added to the salts.
The vibration salts have been blended with carefully selected high grade essential oils to add to a positive experience and as an aromatherapist and healer I ensure that I use high grade pure essential oils – not perfumes or essences and the salts are approved for pharmaceutical/cosmetic use.
Bathing with the vibrational salts means you can relax, revitalise and regain your balance and harmony, purify your skin, detox the body & calm your senses, ease tired and sore muscles and feel great.
The benefits of bathing with sea salts are well known, but when mixed with rich mineral salts, essential oils & encoded with positive vibrational frequency using cutting edge energy modalities adds to a wonderful experience.
This is why these are not normal bathing salts, it takes some time to prepare and infuse the salts to get them to the right vibrational stage because they act as a space clearing tool in the packaging itself and I only make up small batches at a time. Custom blended and astro blend salts take more time to prepare as I take a small case history to make sure you are not contra-indicated for the essential oils or herbs.
The Vibrational energy bath salts can also be purchased unscented from this site.
As a therapist and healer I am happy to custom blend the vibrational salts for whatever you feel you are in need of.
Look carefully at the reflection of the lights on the wall as the salts have been energetically charged and ready to go out into the world. The colours on the wall should start to glow and change. No it's not a trick of the light or some fancy technology.. (I don't know much about technology) .. it's energy, simple and pure.
I recommend that you use the salts once to twice a week to clear your energy field especially when you find yourself in a toxic work environment or have had a very stressful day.
or As a shower scrub: add 1-2 large tbs salts in a bowl, mix with either some shower gel, OR one teaspoon olive oil or some warm water & make a firm paste. Wet your body, massage paste into skin, rinse & dry body.
If you have a preference for showers as opposed to baths, then I highly recommend you put the salts dry in your food blender and grind them down to a finer consistency so as to get maximum use of the salts as a paste in the shower. The salts are far too precious to waste otherwise.
As Foot Bath: Mix 1-2tbs salts in large foot bowl with warm water, soak feet for 20 mins, dry feet well.
As energy/space clearing – put a handful of salts in containers in different rooms in your home or if you wish to use them in an home or office space simply decant a handful into a little container and put them in a discreet corner of your office space where you are.
In the home, put the containers in a corner of the room(s) and leave them to absorb the energy.
Over time the salts will go hard and may discolour. When that happens, please dispose of salts by putting them in the sink and turning on the tap to let the salts dissolve and as you do so, visualising the water clearing out the old stale energy. You can always contact me to replace salts with a new blend.
As you finish your bathing let go of all that is holding you back and allow the new energy to come in as your body absorbs all the minerals it needs and let's go of toxins through elimination.
The salts are very powerful so there is no need to use soap after bathing but you do need to clean your bath out in order to cleanse the space after using the salts.
NOT suitable for bathing infants/babies/young children.
Do not put salts near eyes/ if irritation occurs, wash skin with water.
Seek medical advice if you have open wounds/serious medical condition/are pregnant/breast feeding/ diabetic/ suffer from high or low BP and are prone to fainting fits.
If there is any adverse reaction do not use the salts.
They start at 350g inc pp. However if you contact me to find out when I am exhibiting the salts at local venues you can buy at a special offer price on the day of exhibition and save on postage costs.
I currently offer just a few types of sacred Salts which will be sold online and will come with clear instructions for use. As an aromatherapist I have used my skill with herbs, healing and harmony to prepare mystical and healing blends for safe use.
The house blend No 1 will start at 400g inc pp and are a great way to get used to the energy blends.
Relaxing Blend – Includes essential oils of Lavender and Geranium. Great for when you want to chill out and relax after a tiring day or want to sleep well for those restless nights. Induces calming effect in body and toning effect with the geranium to calm the nerves and lessen stress.
Useful when you want to still the racing mind and bring insight and clear thinking. Enhances the memory, uplift's Spirit, clears the thoughts. Encourages mental stillness and brings you into a protective environment in your auric field.
As above but come unscented for those of you who have sensitive skin or do not want essential oils/herbs in the blends.
For a more powerful enhanced experience of my vibrational sacred healing bath salts I highly recommend you try two of my premier range of salts: Custom Blend and Austro Aura Soul Vibration Salts. Please note that Custom Blend will require a short skype/zoom online session so that I can ascertain the right blend for your needs and I will need to go through a 1hr booked consultation with you.
Custom blend sacred salts are a shorter way to experience a holistic approach to mind/body/spirit rebalancing without the need to break the financial bank or resort to deep endless therapy though you may find that they start to unblock toxic energy situations you are facing and if you then want to undergo some short term work with me you can always go further.
They sacred salts were created as a tool for my clients who wanted to know how it was I could do incredibly long hours when teaching and presenting or doing a full 16 hr days on my feet. One of the secrets I can reveal is the use of my sacred salts as an energy tool to help rebalance and calm my energy field.
Winter blends to combat infections and energetic shower scrubs to start your day by clearing your mind, or calming salts at the end of the day to relax you.
There is no limit to custom blending other than to say a blend is made up for you and is delivered at the end of a week because I make up blends freshly to order, they will be blended with essential oils and crystals and herbs if necessary and I will also do some kinesiology work with you to check that the blend is adjusted correctly for your needs and it will be encoded to work on an energetic level with vibrational frequency for wellbeing.
Includes a special metaphysical written treatment (positive spiritual affirmation) for your situation (written instructions will be given) and you can use this affirmation in your meditation as part of your recovery to wholeness and you will receive a voucher to use as a discount to use towards a therapy session online.
Will come as a 500g (includes posting and packing) bag as Custom blends are for shorter term use as your situation changes energetically, so will you.
All assessments/catch up calls will be online.
An Astro Aura Sacred Soul Vibration blend is recommended if you are on your soul path and want to immerse yourself in it deeper or to get onto your path and help you reconnect with the essence of you through the energy of the elements and the medium of water which is a source of both purification and nourishment as an agent that heals us through nature.
An auric angel space clearing hand blended spray with essential oils and crystals – I have been known to create space clearing sprays for use in offices that have no windows and 24/7 artificial light. These sprays are used to bring in our light vibration in harsh conditions.
And as a bonus voucher to use towards any of the other services I offer as an integrative coach and workshop facilitator.
An 1.5 hr appointment will have to be made to secure the astro auric salts as an online consultation and reading will take some time to go through and the salts will take up to a week to prepare as everything will be hand blended and customised per order.
All readings will be online via skype or zoom.
The salts and essential oils can be changed as there are any number of combinations available for your star sign and personality profile in mystical aromatherapy blending.
At present the Harmony Healing Vibrational Sacred Salts will only be available for purchase in the UK and online although I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you at any of the holistic fairs and festivals or personal development workshops that I may be speaking or facilitating at or offering you the chance to purchase the sacred salts in person.

A little over 10 million uninsured have gained health care coverage throughout the U.S., either through Medicaid or state and federal exchanges, since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage expansion programs opened for enrollment last year, according to a new report from U.S. Department of Health And Human Services' (HHS).
According to the report, the uninsured rate among adults ages 18 to 64, as of June 2014, was 15.1 percent, down 5 percent from September 2013.
The percentage of those with health coverage improved most among blacks and Latinos throughout the U.S. The number of uninsured blacks dropped 6.8 percent, as of June 2014, with more than 1.7 million gaining health insurance. The Latino uninsured rate fell 7.7 percent, as more than 2.6 million got coverage.
The 2014 reduction in the number of uninsured adults builds on earlier effects of the ACA on health insurance coverage. Nearly 950,000 individuals in six states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Washington) and the District of Columbia gained coverage before January 1, 2014, from early Medicaid expansions under the Affordable Care Act.
And an estimated 3.1 million young adults gained coverage under a parent's employer-sponsored or individual market plan under the ACA's expansion of dependent coverage up to age 26, which was effective for plan years beginning on or after September 23, 2010.
In California, the Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that 3.4 million previously uninsured Californians now have gained health care coverage through ACA programs, which include the Medi-Cal expansion and subsidized premiums for Covered California health plans. The Commonwealth Fund estimates that California's uninsured rate dropped from 22 percent to 11 percent since the exchange opened for business.
The HHS report is based partially on Gallup poll data released last week and backs up July estimates from the New England Journal of Medicine, both of which said the ACA has been a factor in the decline of the country's uninsured rate.

Google LLC Advertising Program Terms
These Google LLC Advertising Program Terms ("Terms") are entered into by Google LLC ("Google") and the entity executing these Terms or that accepts these Terms electronically ("Customer"). These Terms govern Customer's participation in Google's advertising programs and services (i) that are accessible through the account(s) given to Customer in connection with these Terms or (ii) that incorporate by reference these Terms (collectively, "Programs").Please read these Terms carefully. They require the use of binding individual arbitration to resolve disputes rather than jury trials or class actions. If Customer wishes, Customer may opt out of the requirement to arbitrate disputes by following the instructions in Section 13(F) below within 30 days of the first acceptance date of any version of these Terms containing an arbitration provision.
1 Programs. Customer authorizes Google and its affiliates to place Customer's advertising materials, feed data, and technology (collectively, "Ads" or "Creative") on any content or property (each a "Property") provided by Google or its affiliates on behalf of Google or, as applicable, a third party ("Partner"). Customer is solely responsible for all: (i) Ads, (ii) Ads trafficking or targeting decisions (e.g., keywords) ("Targets"), (iii) destinations to which Ads direct viewers (e.g., landing pages, mobile applications) along with the related URLs, waypoints, and redirects ("Destinations"), and (iv) services and products advertised on Destinations (collectively, "Services"). The Program is an advertising platform on which Customer authorizes Google and its affiliates to use automated tools to format Ads. Google and its affiliates may also make available to Customer certain optional Program features to assist Customer with the selection or generation of Targets, Ads, or Destinations. Customer is not required to authorize use of these optional features and, as applicable, may opt-in to or opt-out of usage of these features. However, if Customer uses these features, then Customer will be solely responsible for the Targets, Ads, and Destinations. Google and its affiliates or Partners may reject or remove a specific Target, Ad, or Destination at any time for any or no reason. Google and its affiliates may modify or cancel Programs at any time. Customer acknowledges that Google or its affiliates may participate in Program auctions in support of its own services and products. Some Program features are identified as "Beta" or as otherwise unsupported or confidential ("Beta Features"). Customer may not disclose any information from Beta Features or the terms or existence of any non-public Beta Features.
2 Policies. Customer is solely responsible for its use of the Programs (e.g., access to and use of Program accounts and safeguarding usernames and passwords) ("Use"). Program Use is subject to applicable Google policies available at google.com/ads/policies, and all other policies made available by Google to Customer, including Partner policies, and to the extent applicable, the Google EU User Consent Policy at privacy.google.com/businesses/userconsentpolicy (in each case, as modified from time to time, "Policies"). Customer also authorizes Google to modify Ads as described in Policies. In connection with the Program, Google will comply with the Google Privacy Policy available at google.com/policies/privacy (as modified from time to time). To the extent Program Use is within scope, Google and Customer agree, as applicable, to the (i) Google Ads Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms at privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms; or (ii) Google Ads Data Processing Terms at privacy.google.com/businesses/processorterms (collectively the "EU Data Terms"). Google will not modify the EU Data Terms, except as expressly permitted under the EU Data Terms. Customer will not, and will not authorize any third party to, (i) generate automated, fraudulent or otherwise invalid impressions, inquiries, clicks or conversions, (ii) conceal conversions for Programs where they are required to be disclosed, (iii) use any automated means or form of scraping or data extraction to access, query or otherwise collect Google advertising-related information from any Property except as expressly permitted by Google, or (iv) attempt to interfere with the functioning of the Programs. Customer will direct communications regarding Ads on Partner Properties under these Terms only to Google.
3 Ad Serving. (a) Customer will not provide Ads that contain or connect to malware, spyware, unwanted software or any other malicious code, or knowingly breach or circumvent any Program security measure. (b) Customer may utilize an Ad server solely for serving or tracking Ads under Programs that permit third-party Ad serving and only if the Ad server has been authorized by Google to participate in the Program. Google will implement Customer's Ad server tags so that they are functional. (c) For online display Ad impressions billed on a CPM or vCPM basis ("Display Ads"), if Google's applicable impression count ("IC") for a Program is higher than Customer's third-party Ad server ("3PAS") IC by more than 10% over the invoice period, Customer will facilitate reconciliation efforts between Google and 3PAS. If this discrepancy is not resolved, Customer's sole remedy is to make a claim within 60 days after the invoice date ("Claim Period"). If Google determines that the claim is valid, then Google will issue to Customer advertising credits equal to (90% of Google's IC minus 3PAS's IC), multiplied by Google's reported campaign average CPM or vCPM, as applicable, over the invoice period. Any advertising credits issued must be used by Customer within 60 days of issuance ("Use-By Date") and Google may suspend Customer's permission to utilize that 3PAS provider and may suspend or void the effectiveness of the discrepancy resolution provisions of this Section for that 3PAS provider. Metrics from 3PAS whose Ad server tags are provided to Google will be used in the above discrepancy resolution calculations. Google may require that discrepancy records be provided directly by 3PAS to Google. Customer will not be credited for discrepancies caused by 3PAS's inability to serve Ads.
4 Testing. Customer authorizes Google and its affiliates to periodically conduct tests that may affect Customer's Use of Programs, including Ad formatting, Targets, Destinations, quality, ranking, performance, pricing, and auction-time bid adjustments. To ensure the timeliness and validity of test results, Customer authorizes Google to conduct such tests without notice or compensation to Customer.
5 Ad Cancellation. Unless a Policy, the Program user interface, or an agreement referencing these Terms (an "IO") provides otherwise, either party may cancel any Ad at any time before the earlier of Ad auction or placement, but if Customer cancels an Ad after a commitment date provided by Google (e.g., a reservation-based campaign), then Customer is responsible for any cancellation fees communicated by Google to Customer, and the Ad may still be published. Cancelled Ads will generally cease serving within 8 business hours or as described in a Policy or IO, and Customer remains obligated to pay all charges resulting from served Ads (e.g., fees based on conversion). Customer must effect cancellation of Ads (i) online through Customer's account, if the functionality is available, (ii) if this functionality is not available, with notice to Google via email to Customer's account representative, or (iii) if this functionality is not available and Customer does not have an account representative, with notice to Google via email to ads-support@google.com. Customer will not be relieved of any payment obligations for Ads not submitted or submitted by Customer after the due date provided by Google. Google will not be bound by a Customer provided IO.
6 Warranty, Rights, and Obligations. Customer warrants that (a) Customer holds, and hereby grants Google, its affiliates and Partners, the rights in Ads, Destinations, and Targets for Google, its affiliates and Partners to operate the Google Programs (including, in the case of feed data, after Customer ceases to use the Programs), and (b) all information and authorizations provided by Customer are complete, correct and current. Customer authorizes Google and its affiliates to automate retrieval and analysis of, and create test credentials to access, Destinations for the purposes of the Programs. By providing any mobile or other telephone number to Google in connection with the Programs, Customer authorizes Google, its affiliates and their agents to call and send text messages (for which standard message and data rates may apply) to the provided telephone numbers, including by an automatic telephone dialing system, for purposes of the Programs. However, Google will not rely on this permission to initiate autodialed calls or text messages for marketing purposes. Customer further authorizes Google, its affiliates and their agents to send electronic mail to Customer for purposes of the Programs. Customer warrants that it is authorized to act on behalf of, and has bound to these Terms, each third party, if any, for which Customer advertises in connection with these Terms ("Advertiser") and any references to Customer in these Terms will also apply to Advertiser, as applicable. If for any reason Customer has not bound an Advertiser to these Terms, Customer will be liable for performing any obligation Advertiser would have had under these Terms had Advertiser been bound. If Customer is using a Program on its own behalf to advertise, for that use Customer will be deemed to be both Customer and Advertiser. Customer will provide Advertiser with reporting data no less than on a monthly basis, that discloses absolute dollars spent on Google and performance (at a minimum cost, clicks and impressions of users on the account of that Advertiser) in a reasonably prominent location. Google may, upon request of an Advertiser, share Advertiser-specific information with Advertiser.
7 Make-Goods. For reservation-based Display Ads, Google will deliver any agreed on aggregate number of Display Ads by the end of the campaign, but if Google fails to do so, then Customer's sole remedy is to make a claim during the Claim Period. If Google confirms the accuracy of the claim, then Google will not charge Customer for the undelivered Display Ads or, if Customer has already paid, at Google's reasonable discretion, Google will provide for (i) advertising credits, which must be used by the Use-By Date, (ii) placement of the Display Ads in a position Google deems comparable within 60 days of Google's confirmation of the accuracy of the claim or (iii) an extension of the term of the campaign. Google cannot assure that any auction-based Ads will be delivered and therefore make-goods do not apply to auction-based Ads.
8 Payment. Customer will pay all charges incurred in connection with a Program, using a payment method approved by Google for that Customer (as modified from time to time), within a commercially reasonable time period specified by Google (e.g., in the Program user interface or IO). Late payments bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). Charges are exclusive of taxes. Customer will pay (i) all taxes and other government charges and (ii) reasonable expenses and legal fees Google incurs in collecting late payments that are not disputed in good faith. Charges are based on the billing criteria under the applicable Program (e.g., based on clicks, impressions, or conversions). Any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith must be paid in full. No party may offset any payment due under these Terms against any other payment to be made under these Terms. Google may, in its sole discretion, extend, revise or revoke credit at any time. Google is not obligated to deliver any Ads in excess of any credit limit. If Google does not deliver Ads to the selected Targets or Destinations, then Customer's sole remedy is to make a claim for advertising credits within the Claim Period, after which Google will issue the credits following claim validation which must be used by the Use-By Date. Customer understands that third parties may generate impressions or clicks on Customer's Ads for prohibited or improper purposes and if that happens, Customer's sole remedy is to make a claim for advertising credits within the Claim Period, after which Google will issue the credits following claim validation, which must be used by the Use-By Date. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, (A) CUSTOMER WAIVES ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO ANY PROGRAM CHARGES UNLESS A CLAIM IS MADE WITHIN THE CLAIM PERIOD AND (B) THE ISSUANCE OF ADVERTISING CREDITS (IF ANY) IS AT GOOGLE'S REASONABLE DISCRETION AND IF ISSUED, MUST BE USED BY THE USE-BY DATE.
9 Disclaimers. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOOGLE, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES, DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING FOR NON-INFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, AS WELL AS ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PROGRAMS AND GOOGLE AND PARTNER PROPERTIES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS," AND CUSTOMER USES THEM AT ITS OWN RISK. GOOGLE, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS PARTNERS DO NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAMS OR PROGRAM RESULTS. GOOGLE MAKES NO PROMISE TO INFORM CUSTOMER OF DEFECTS OR ERRORS.
10 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR SECTION 11 AND CUSTOMER'S BREACHES OF SECTIONS 3(A), 14(E) OR THE LAST SENTENCE OF SECTION 1, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OR TYPE OF CLAIM: (a) GOOGLE, CUSTOMER, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE UNDER THESE TERMS OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS FOR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN DIRECT DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE PARTY IS AWARE OR SHOULD KNOW THAT SUCH OTHER TYPES OF DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE AND EVEN IF DIRECT DAMAGES DO NOT SATISFY A REMEDY; AND (b) OTHER THAN CUSTOMER'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS, GOOGLE, CUSTOMER, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR DAMAGES UNDER THESE TERMS OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO PERFORMANCE OF THESE TERMS FOR ANY GIVEN EVENT OR SERIES OF CONNECTED EVENTS IN THE AGGREGATE OF MORE THAN THE AMOUNT PAYABLE TO GOOGLE BY CUSTOMER UNDER THE TERMS IN THE THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE ACTIVITY FIRST GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
11 Indemnification. Customer will defend and indemnify Google, its Partners, agents, affiliates, and licensors against all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, fees (including legal fees), and expenses relating to any third-party allegation or legal proceeding to the extent arising out of or related to Ads, Targets, Destinations, Services, Use or any breach of these Terms by Customer. Partners are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section.
12 Changes to Terms. Google may make non-material changes to these Terms at any time without notice, but Google will provide advance notice of any material changes to these Terms. The Terms will be posted at google.com/ads/terms. Other than changes made under Section 13(G), the changes to the Terms will not apply retroactively and will become effective 7 days after posting. However, changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately upon notice. Either party may terminate these Terms at any time with notice to the other party, but (i) campaigns not cancelled under Section 5 and new campaigns may be run and reserved and (ii) continued Program Use is, in each case, subject to Google's terms and conditions then in effect for the Programs (available at google.com/ads/terms). Google may suspend Customer's ability to participate in the Programs at any time. In all cases, the running of any Customer campaigns after termination is in Google's sole discretion.
13 Dispute Resolution Agreement.
A. Arbitration of disputes. Google, Customer, and Advertiser agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between Google and Customer or between Google and Advertiser that arise out of or relate in any way to the Programs or these Terms. This agreement to arbitrate ("Dispute Resolution Agreement" or "Section 13") is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes, for example:
claims brought under any legal theory;
claims that arose before Customer or Advertiser first accepted any version of these Terms containing an arbitration provision;
claims that may arise after the termination of Customer's or Advertiser's Use of the Programs;
claims brought by or against Google, Google affiliates that provide the Programs to Customer or Advertiser, Google parent companies, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, and assigns of these entities; and
claims brought by or against Customer or Advertiser, the respective affiliates and parent companies of Customer or Advertiser, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, and assigns of these entities.
This Dispute Resolution Agreement does not preclude any party from seeking an individualized preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order until a claim is arbitrated, or from bringing an individualized action in small claims court, in any court that has jurisdiction; provided that, as limited by Section 13(C) below, the arbitrator will have exclusive jurisdiction to finally resolve claims not within the jurisdiction of a small claims court. Nor does this Dispute Resolution Agreement bar any party from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.
Google, Customer, and Advertiser agree that, by entering into this arbitration agreement, all parties are waiving their respective rights to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Dispute Resolution Agreement. With respect to all disputes or claims that arise out of or relate in any way to the Programs or these Terms, this Dispute Resolution Agreement supersedes any contrary terms regarding dispute resolution in any other agreement between the parties.
B. Notice of disputes. If any party intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other party with notice in writing ("Notice of Dispute"). This Notice of Dispute to Google must be sent to the following address ("Google's Notice Address"):
Legal Department – Ads Arbitration
Google will send notice to Customer or Advertiser at the e-mail and mailing addresses associated with Customer's account. Customer and Advertiser each agree to receive notice at those addresses. In addition, Customer agrees to notify Advertiser promptly of any such notice. Customer's or Advertiser's Notice of Dispute to Google must provide, as applicable, (a) Customer's or Advertiser's name and mailing address, (b) the email address Customer or Advertiser uses to log into Customer's account, (c) the Ads Customer ID(s), (d) the Case Number(s) assigned by Google to track previous attempts to resolve the dispute, (e) a description of the dispute, including identification of the relevant campaigns and/or AdGroups, and (f) a statement of the relief requested. If the parties are unable or unwilling to resolve the dispute within 60 days after the Notice of Dispute is submitted, the dispute will be resolved by arbitration upon one party sending the other party or parties and the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") a demand for arbitration. For the avoidance of doubt, no arbitration demand may be submitted until at least 60 days after submission of the Notice of Dispute. Unless the parties agree otherwise, Customer's or Advertiser's demand for arbitration must be sent to Google's Notice Address and entitled "Demand for Arbitration." Google will send demands for arbitration to Customer or Advertiser at the e-mail and mailing addresses associated with Customer's account.
C. Arbitration procedures. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the Expedited Procedures of the AAA Rules will apply to any claim of $75,000 or less. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties will agree to another arbitration provider or the court will appoint a substitute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any evidentiary submissions made in arbitration will be maintained as confidential in the absence of good cause for its disclosure. The arbitrator's award will be maintained as confidential only to the extent necessary to protect either party's trade secrets or proprietary business information or to comply with a legal requirement mandating confidentiality.
Unless the parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of Customer's principal place of business (or, if the arbitration is commenced by Advertiser, the county (or parish) of Advertiser's principal place of business). If the value of Customer's or Advertiser's claim is $25,000 or less, Customer or Advertiser may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing. If the value of Customer's or Advertiser's claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that only a court of competent jurisdiction may decide issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision, the arbitrability of disputes, or the interpretation of Section 13(E). The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations in which Customer or Advertiser is not a party. The arbitrator can award the same individualized damages and relief that a court can award. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
D. Costs of arbitration. The AAA's fee schedule is subject to change and may be found in the AAA Rules (available online at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). Google will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration that Google commences. If Customer or Advertiser commenced arbitration at least 60 days after submitting the Notice of Dispute to Google, and the value of Customer's or Advertiser's claim is $75,000 or less, Google will pay Customer's or Advertiser's share of any such AAA fees. If the value of Customer's or Advertiser's claim is between $75,000 and $300,000, Customer's or Advertiser's share of any such fees will be capped at $200 (unless the law of Customer's or Advertiser's state requires Google to pay all such fees). If the value of Customer's or Advertiser's claim exceeds $300,000, the allocation of AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. But the arbitrator may reallocate the fees to require Google to pay all fees if Customer or Advertiser cannot afford to pay them. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Customer's or Advertiser's claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such cases, the arbitrator may direct Customer or Advertiser to reimburse Google for amounts that Google paid on Customer's or Advertiser's behalf.
E. No class or representative arbitration. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim without affecting other Google users or other customers or advertisers. CUSTOMER, ADVERTISER, AND GOOGLE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Further, unless all affected parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one Advertiser's or Customer's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
F. 30-day opt out period. Customer (both for itself and for any Advertiser that Customer represents) and Advertiser have the right to opt out of this Dispute Resolution Agreement. A Customer or Advertiser who does not wish to be bound by this Dispute Resolution Agreement (including its waiver of class and representative claims) must notify Google as set forth below within 30 days of the first acceptance date of any version of these Terms containing an arbitration provision (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Customer's or Advertiser's notice to Google under this subsection must be submitted via webform available at ads.google.com/nav/arbitration. An opt-out notice does not revoke or otherwise affect any previous arbitration agreement between Customer and Google or between Advertiser and Google.
G. Future changes to Dispute Resolution Agreement. If Google makes any changes to this Dispute Resolution Agreement (other than a change to Google's Notice Address), Customer or Advertiser may reject any such change by notifying Google via webform as set forth in Section 13(F) within 30 days of the change. It is not necessary to submit a rejection of the future change to this Dispute Resolution Agreement if Customer or Advertiser had properly opted out of arbitration in compliance with the requirements of Section 13(F). By rejecting a future change, Customer or Advertiser is agreeing that it will arbitrate any dispute in accordance with the language of this Dispute Resolution Agreement, as modified by any changes that Customer or Advertiser did not reject.
14 Miscellaneous. (a) ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PROGRAMS WILL BE GOVERNED BY CALIFORNIA LAW, EXCLUDING CALIFORNIA'S CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT CALIFORNIA LAW IS CONTRARY TO OR PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW. (b) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 13, ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PROGRAMS WILL BE LITIGATED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; THE PARTIES CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THESE COURTS. (c) Customer will not seek an injunction based on patent infringement in connection with the Programs in any proceeding filed while these Terms are in effect, and for one year after any termination of these Terms. (d) These Terms are the parties' entire agreement relating to their subject matter and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on those subjects. (e) Customer may not make any public statement regarding the relationship contemplated by these Terms (except when required by law). (f) Except as provided in Section 13, all notices of termination or breach must be in writing and addressed to the other party's Legal Department (or if it is not known if the other party has a Legal Department then to the other party's primary contact or other address on file). The email address for notices being sent to Google's Legal Department is legal-notices@google.com. Except as provided in Section 13, all other notices to Customer will be in writing and sent to an email address associated with Customer's account. Except as provided in Section 13, all other notices to Google will be in writing and addressed to Customer's primary contact at Google or other method made available by Google. Notice will be treated as given on receipt, as confirmed by written or electronic means. These notice requirements do not apply to legal service of process, which is instead governed by applicable law, nor do they apply to Section 13. (g) Except for modifications to these Terms by Google under Section 12, any amendment must be agreed to by both parties and must expressly state that it is amending these Terms. Neither party will be treated as having waived any rights by not exercising (or by delaying the exercise of) any rights under these Terms. Except as provided in Section 13(E), if any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the balance of the Terms will remain in full force and effect. (h) Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without the written consent of the other party, except to an affiliate but only where (I) the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by these Terms, (II) the assigning party remains liable for obligations under these Terms if the assignee defaults on them, and (III) the assigning party has notified the other party of the assignment. Any other attempt to transfer or assign is void. (i) Except as provided in Sections 11 and 13, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. (j) These Terms do not create any agency, partnership or joint venture among the parties. (k) Sections 1 (last sentence only) and 8 through 14 will survive termination of these Terms. (l) Except for payment obligations, no party or its affiliates are liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
