Nov 08, · The CD case is worth mentioning too. It's one of those paper kinds, but the best looking one I've seen. Has the "Dive" artwork on the front and back, and the inside has the track listings and some intricate diagrams that I can't describe because I don't have the CD in front of me. The CD slides in a protective layer from the side of the case/5(). Reply

"So Hard" is a song by the British pop group Pet Shop Boys and was the first single released from the album Behaviour. The song is about "two people living together; they are totally unfaithful to each other but they both pretend they are faithful and then catch each other out". It peaked at No. 4 in the United Kingdom and reached the top three in at least seven European countries. Reply

Q: I can't catch InputMismatchException I get InputMismatchException error as I wanted,but can't catch it.(I am doing this just to learn it)
Can anybody help me?
package GameProject;
import java.util.*;
public class Execute {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
      boolean enemySelected=false;
      boolean characterSelected=false;
      do {
          System.out.println("Choose your character!");
          System.out.println("1-Knight\n2-Tank\n3-Warrior");

              }

      }while(characterSelected==false);

    }

}

A: Here:
int choosenCharacter=scan.nextInt();

that needs to go INSIDE the try block!
It doesn't help to do a try after the expression that can cause the exception. The code that can throw needs to be enclosed with try/catch.

A: An exception is captured only if the statement that produce the exception is inside a try-catch statement.
You need to place int choosenCharacter=scan.nextInt(); inside the try block, and then the exception will be captured by the catch

Here is one more simple and easy to make recipe for Chutney. This is a recipe for Onion Raw Mango Chutney or Pyaz aur Kacche Aam Ki Chutney in Hindi.
Take all the ingredients which I have given above and grind them to make a paste. Chutney is ready.


They are more pleasing than any of their artificial counterparts. Combine them in order to get the emotional response that you want to get from your visitors. Unnatural colors, such as bright green , blue or red usually cause eye fatigue and chase visitors (i:e prospects) away. Also you should be aware that primary colors like red, yellow or orange can work for culinary promotion purposes.
Create A Strong Contrast Between A Page's Background And It's Text.
The best combination for readability is black text on a white background, but there are also other excellent combination. Besides white, other effective website background colors are dark blue, grey and black. The situation is not the same for product promotions. When the product is the center of attention, desaturated colors are recommended.
Select An Average 3 Different Colors And Use Them Consistently Throughout The Website.
Chromatic harmony is one of the most important criteria in order to create a pleasant experience for the visitors. It is strongly recommended that a moderate number of colors should be employed; four or five is OK; more than that not only will hey create inconsistency, but they will also cause an eye sore for the visitor making him skip important pars of the site.
Be Sure To Take Into Account People With Visual Disabilities.
Make sure that the message of your site reaches people as well.
People of different ages have different reactions to colors. People past a certain age will find websites with more sober and restrained (and therefore relaxing to the eye) colors more attractive. Youngsters, on the other hand, will appreciate more vivid and brighter colors.
Men tend to prefer blue and orange to red and yellow, while women prefer red to blue and yellow to orange. Also, remember that it has been proven that women are liable to perceive considerably more colors than men.

A common question asked by clients is "how do I create segments for anonymous visitors?". While tracking anonymous visitors and calculating appropriate segments is a deep subject worthy of its own blog post (check back later!), one must first deal with "how do we uniquely identify a returning visitor who wants to remain anonymous?" before we deal with how to calculate segments for this individual. This last point is made even more complex when we acknowledge that visitors may elect to turn off cookies, remove cookies, mobile devices don't allow cookies, or that there may even be local or regional laws (e.g. the European Union) that deny cookie usage in the first place.
While fingerprinting technology is fairly nascent, there are already some sites using the technology to identify anonymous visitors. The basic idea is straightforward: there are various characteristics of each computer that taken as a whole tend to make it unique. And these device characteristics are generally available via any modern browser.
Top-level Domain The top-level domain of the URL. For example, .com in www.oracle.com. This is mapped through the Quova reference file.
Now if either Java or Flash are installed, then obtaining a higher degree of probability of uniqueness becomes even more likely. If we then generate a unique hash string/vector per visitor based on these characteristics then we have in essence authenticated the visitor (or at the minimum, we have identified with a high degree of probability a unique computing device which many not be the same as an individual, recognizing that it is common for devices to be sometimes shared among several users). Once we have identified a unique, returning visitor/device, then we are free do all sorts of other things, like record current history and store/retrieve past behaviors that can drive what segments we calculate for this visitor.
The typical fingerprinting solution for WCS (or any application for that matter) would implement a few lines of static HTML in the wrapper code to include a Flash shared object and/or image tags to collect additional device characteristics. The Flash code then makes an internal call to the application server thereby uploading the device characteristics. The schema of the database to store such visitor/device data should allow for binding a visitor to multiple devices (and conversely, allow for multiple known "visitors" per device) whenever they explicitly authenticate, for example when they log in. Additionally, if cookies are allowed, we can then combine device characteristics with cookies to enable stitching sessions together — even across devices.
here comes a new user with a device that doesn't match any other I have in my db — so let's add a record to the device tracking table, perhaps using a hash/vector as a key — where each device characteristic is assigned a value contributing to the n-dimensional vector. In this way, if a device changes just one characteristic of its device — example: adding a new font — then the new vector will be "close" to the old vector (testable via matrix multiplication) and we have a chance of binding these two records together later in a data-mining/data-cleaning batch process. However, such precision may not be necessary for a given audience!
we observe this device's various site behaviors (e.g. this device appears to like women's cloths) and calculate a segment for this device, storing it in the device tracking table (and in a cookie if allowed).
if a visitor explicitly authenticates (assuming our site has that ability), we can loosely bind the device fingerprint id to the visitor id (recognizing that a known visitor might use multiple devices to access our site).
over time our data should show how many visitors use each device, and conversely, how many devices are used by each visitor. As such, we likely will want to have at least two tables that can be joined together for various kinds of reports and analysis.
Creating a session variable that identifies the visitor for the duration of the session can then be used by subsequent page visits such that the fingerprinting code only needs to be executed once per session. Note that there is a practical limit to evaluating potentially endless device characteristics — i.e. we don't want to create significant latency while such evaluations/calculations are being made. As such, the goal is to always implement the lightest weight code that will get the job done — not necessarily an easy task.
Notwithstanding, I believe that every demo of any Oracle product that purports to be about Experience Management should ship with at the very minimum a lightweight demo of this fingerprinting technique such that developers could then extend it to match their client's specific requirements.
I encourage you to explore the links at the end of this blog post. Some of these links demonstrate just how unique your device is!! (somewhat scary when you think about it).

Nikolai Gretsch's Travel Letters: Volume 1 - Letters from England
Nikolai Gretsch's Travel Letters is a fully translated English edition of a three-volume account published by Nikolai Gretsch (1787–1867) in St. Petersburg in 1839. In the original Russian, Gretsch describes his travels in post-Napoleonic England, France, and Germany in 1837 at the behest of the Russian Empire. His official task was to examine educational systems, but as he travelled, he also noticed the cultural norms in his surroundings, the history of each country, and the personal experiences of the people he met. On his return home, Gretsch assembled his entertaining and often humorous personal observations into the edition that forms the basis for the present translation. His astute observations provide a rich contemporary resource for information about the countries he visited, especially given his status as an outsider. Additionally, as a result of his government position, Gretsch was able to move in social circles that would have been closed to many other people. In England, he once found himself in the same room with Princess (the future Queen) Victoria, and in France, he dined with Victor Hugo. Gretsch's observations offer a treasure-trove of contextual information that will be valuable to anyone interested in cultural interactions during the nineteenth century.

An interesting idea. With, as the article points out, no political traction. Just exactly how would the United States of America and the State of Michigan constitutionally and legally allow such a secession to occur? Perhaps the report will contain an illuminating legal analysis.
R.E. Lee and the Detroit River?
For some reason recently the CI The Man Without a Country came to mind. It was one of several of the more than 160 printed that it was a privilege to own back in the day. Until not long ago the connection between the story and the Civil War was not in the memory bank, perhaps because as years pile on top of one another a lot of memory seems to get squeezed out and falls back into the soil from which it originally sprouted.
"I happened to observe it, because I was stranded at the old Mission-House in Mackinac, waiting for a Lake-Superior steamer which did not choose to come ...."
A Michigan connection to this immortal story?! What was, or is, "the old Mission-House"? Was it a figment of Hale's imagination? According to the State historic sites database, "The Mission House is one of the earliest buildings constructed on Mackinac Island and is associated with the Mission Church, the oldest surviving church structure in Michigan. The building was constructed in 1825 by Martin Heydenburk under the direction of Presbyterian minister William Montague Ferry to board students and families with the Mission Church until 1837. In 1845 Edward A. Franks bought the building and converted it into a hotel ...."
Two thousand nine began with an announcement by the Governor that financial constraints meant Michigan's Department of History, Arts & Libraries would become no more. At the end of the year, the Michigan Historical Center will soon become a unit of the combined departments of natural resources and environmental quality.
In March, Michigan put on the first Civil War Sesquicentennial event in the Nation at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American history in Detroit. It was phenomenally great.
In the same month, the River Raisin Battlefield National Park was approved by the President after passage by Congress as a small but important part of an omnibus bill. At a planning meeting in December, the NPS was welcomed by the Monroe community and other Michigan historical interests. This rather rare federal investment in Michigan culture could not have come during a more needed time, given the state of the State.
In November, the Michigan Historical Commission approved its final Civil War Sesquicentennial work plan as a result of public input and comment and dialogue during the summer. While still a living document subject to evolution, it will form the basis for what the Commission will do to help make the commemoration an appropriate activity.
On the cusp of 2010, hope springs again as one contemplates the potential of a fresh slate and so much in the works to advance Michigan history. A year from now, let's trust that progress will have been made. And that Michiganders will be able to say, "what a [great] year!"
So how came across it? Well...the recent Ken Burns' program on the NPS, coupled with the CWPT fundraising campaign to safeguard land at the Appomattox Station battleground, linked with purchase of the Chris Calkins' book on the battle, all combine to create an obsession with those last couple of days when the Union army, including a significant number of Michigan troops (ah, there's more of a connection!), pursued the ANV to surrender.
I can find a website devoted to aficionados of the problem [Scent] but not one giving a foolproof way for how to deal with a pre-existing condition. Is there one?
Yesterday's excursion into Law made reminded of another legal issue involving the American Civil War: did the 11 southern states have a constitutional right or power to withdraw from the Union?
"The Union of the States never was a purely artificial and arbitrary relation. It began among the Colonies, and grew out of common origin, mutual sympathies, kindred principles, similar interests, and geographical relations. It was confirmed and strengthened by the necessities of war, and received definite form and character and sanction from the Articles of Confederation. By these, the Union was solemnly declared to 'be perpetual.' And when these Articles were found to be inadequate to the exigencies of the country, the Constitution was ordained 'to form a more perfect Union.' It is difficult to convey the idea of indissoluble unity more clearly than by these words. What can be indissoluble if a perpetual Union, made more perfect, is not?"
It also contains this ringing statement: "The Constitution, in all its provisions, looks to an indestructible Union composed of indestructible States."
I do trust that those who espouse the errant view that secession is permissible under the U.S. Constitution nonetheless agree that it was a bad idea in 1860 and remains so.
In reading a book on the Vicksburg campaign not long ago, a flaw in the Confederate theory was presented. It mentioned how an area of Mississippi seceded from the State rather than secede from the Union. The Confederacy's response? Suppression of this "rebellion." The old "Do as I say, not as I do."
Since one classic argument of lawyers to prove the errancy of their opponents is to show inconsistency in either interpretation or application of a legal doctrine, that sure appears to be open for use here.
At any rate, the question has been settled, more than six hundred thousand lives later.

"To design is much more than simply to assemble, to order, or even to edit; it is to add value and meaning, to illuminate, to simplify, to clarify, to modify, to dignify, to dramatize, to persuade, and perhaps even to amuse."
Humans are most comfortable with things that behave the way we expect. Other people, animals, objects, software. When someone or something behaves consistently with our expectations we feel like we have a good relationship with it. To that end designed elements should look like how they behave. Form follows function. In practice this means that someone should be able to predict how an interface element will behave merely by looking at it. If it looks like a button it should act like a button. Don't get cute with the basics of interaction…keep your creativity for higher order concerns.

Q: Newly added strings in resx can't be resolved I have a UWP application with Resource Files (.resx) for translation in a .net standard 2.0 library. When I add new strings there and try to resolve them I get "null" in return. All the existing strings are available and resolved correctly. Here is an example:

When I follow the reference, I see that there is actually an entry in the designer:
Also I can see it in the xml of the resource file:

What can be wrong here?
EDIT: Here is the Link to the project: https://github.com/MoneyFox/MoneyFox
EDIT2: I found out that the issue is with files for different languages. If I add the new string in all my language files the string is resolved properly. So it seems that the fallback does not work as it should.

A: After some further investigation I figured out that the issue is that there was no default language set for the .net library. After I added this to the .csproj resolving worked again:
<PropertyGroup>
    <NeutralLanguage>en</NeutralLanguage>
  </PropertyGroup>

Not that I had the default language set in the package reference, but as it seems that is not / no longer enough in that case.

A: Go to the AppResource.Designer.cs and change the methodenames down below. In my case they didn't update to the new names of the strings, so I couldn't pick them.

A: It could be because your Code Generated by the "ResXFileCodeGenerator" have not updated the Code for your newly added strings.
To refresh the code that was auto generated, try Right Click on the Resx -> Run Custom Tool, Rebuild the Application and Run.
Before all the steps , make sure that the resx is having the right autogenerated .cs file mapped in the .proj file and the "ResXFileCodeGenerator" is selected in the "Custom Tool" in the properties.


The interesting challenge at the company at which I work is that everything depends on keeping pace with the latest the greatest technology.
Developing really great software products means that one has to sit down with other top notch software engineers and figure out how to roll up one's sleeves and just get the job done, no matter what.
The latest the greatest technology changes all the time, even as we speak, so one has to aim slightly ahead of the moving target.
Ever so slightly, take aim, one, two three, fire.

Women are being urged to have their first smear test at the age of 25 to help prevent cervical cancer.
East Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is promoting the 25 It's Time campaign during Cervical Cancer Screening Week (June 11 to 17).
Women aged 25 to 30 are less likely than older women to accept an invitation for vital screening to find abnormal cells in the cervix – even though cervical cancer is more common in younger women.
As a result, GP practices across Lancashire have nominated cancer champions who receive training to increase the uptake.
More than 3,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year. Many people are not aware that it is more common in younger women, with half of the cases diagnosed in women under the age of 45.
Cervical screening is a way of preventing cancer by finding and treating abnormal cells in the cervix. These changes could lead to cancer if left untreated.
Cervical screening prevents 75 per cent of cervical cancers from developing but only about a third of 25 year olds invited for their first smear actually attend.
The GP practices in Pennine Lancashire are working to improve this by contacting young women with cards, text and telephone calls reminding them and booking an appointment for a smear test. We want to make it easier for everyone to take up their smear test invitation.
I was dreading going for my first smear but it was nowhere near as bad as I thought and it didn't hurt one bit.
I can understand why someone may not want to go but I would certainly recommend having a smear.

BOOK REVIEW: LAYLA'S SONG by PAUL McCRACKEN
The Blurb:
Michael is a family man, working long hours to provide for his family.
Things take a dark turn when he and his family are subject to a series of threatening and intimidating phone calls, claiming Michael is not who he says he is.
One night, when Michael is out, his home is attacked and his daughter, Layla is kidnapped.
Only then is Michael's criminal past revealed. His old gang has finally found him, demanding a ransom for his daughter's life, the price tag of an old job that went wrong.
With the help of his estranged brother, Carl. Michael must return to the criminal underworld. A journey that will take them both from the streets of Belfast to Dublin.
Layla's Song doesn't mess about. Like the main protagonist Michael, once it sets off on a course of action it goes for it head first and without delay. Hardly have we met Michael and his wife and daughter than his life falls apart as his criminal past catches up with him. The plot is straightforward and direct – get his daughter back at all and any cost.
Author Paul McCracken tells us he started writing film screenplays before turning to novels, and that influence is apparent in the sparse dialogue and description as we are swept along on the action-packed journey. The terse and muscular prose style suits the story well as the action heats up – through the streets of Dublin and Belfast we are propelled via car chases, drug deals, shoot outs and fist fights. The tension builds as the stakes get higher and the body count mounts up. There's hardly time to draw breath, let alone worry about breaking laws or estranged family relations or crumbling marriages.
It's an highly enjoyable ride, the literary equivalent of a gritty crime action film that will have fans of the genre enthusiastically onboard. Much like a 2-hour film, I read it in one sitting and was totally engrossed in the story.
Like an everyday Irish Jack Reacher, Michael, helped by his brother Carl, leaves the bad guys in his wake, determined to battle until the bitter end, and it's a helluva journey that he takes us on. By the end your grateful for the chance to lie down and have a well earned rest.
Summary: A terse, action-packed thriller that grips from the start and doesn't let go.

Fasig-Tipton Photo
By Bill Oppenheim
Now, I wasn't there to see the bidding myself, but I need to have a word with that canny David Loder about that $995,000 bid which bought the sale's only War Front colt right at the end of Tuesday night's session at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga; couldn't you just have rounded it up? It wouldn't have made any difference to War Front's average, no (it would have been $712,500 for two sold rather than $710,000), but it would have taken the sale's gross receipts to exactly $53 million instead of $52,995,000, which means myself and all other reviewers are going to have to say this hot sale grossed "almost" $53 million every time we refer to it.
And a hot sale it was, too: with an 11% smaller catalogue, exactly the same number (156) sold as last year, which meant one of my favorite metrics, the clearance rate from the catalogue, improved by a massive 7.7%, from 61.9% last year to 69.6% this year–almost 70% for a select yearling sale, that doesn't happen much these days. With the exact same number sold, the nearly $53-million gross and $339,712 average were each up 16% over 2016. Our own projections beforehand were that the number sold would likely be in the 140's, that the sale would gross between $45 and $50 million, and that the average would be around $300,000, so in all those categories the sale ran about 10% ahead of our projections. It doesn't take too much slicing and dicing of the numbers to see it was a strong sale. This is an elite sale, no doubt, so making projections based on 156 horses selling is always dangerous, but there's certainly reason to be optimistic rather than pessimistic about the next 10,000 or so yearlings which will go through the ring in the next three months.
Our mantra throughout the year so far has been "compare to 2015," because last year did drop from 2015 highs. The North American and European auction market as a whole made a big recovery in 2013, but has remained relatively stagnant since. In Saratoga's case, its big recovery had actually been delayed until 2015. From 165 catalogued and 114 sold (a healthy 69.1%) in 2014, for the 2015 sale the number catalogued jumped 26%, to 209, of which 145 sold, a 27% gain over 2014 while still sustaining a 69.4% clearance rate from the catalogue. So a big win, as the gross jumped by 40%, from $33.2 million to $46,755,000. The average also gained 10% (to $322,448), but actually what was more important was that Fasig-Tipton proved they could sustain an average of plus-or-minus $300,000 even while increasing the numbers, essentially by a quarter (see the Weekly Sales Ticker for detail).
So, yes, once again, compare to 2015: that year, 209 catalogued, 145 sold (69.4%); $46,755,000, average $322,448. This year: 224 catalogued (+7% compared to 2015), 156 sold (+7%, and 69.6% of those catalogued); gross $52,995,000 ('almost' $53-million, and + 13%), average $339,712 (+ 5%). Throughout this year so far, when we've done those comparisons to 2015, the two years have been pretty similar, marginally up or down. For us the really significant figure is that the number sold from the catalogue went back to 69% and change, while sustaining a 7% rise in the number catalogued and sold, plus a 5% increase in average. Given the 13% rise in gross, it's probably not being over-optimistic to say the Saratoga sale was up around 10% from its previous 2015 post-Crash highs. If the next 10,000 or so yearlings to sell could do that, we'd be justified in calling it a strong, and very good, marketplace.
As far as sires go, when the market is strong you have to be a little careful not to fall into a "rising tide lifts all boats" scenario where everything looks good; even when the market is strong, some do look even better. Though none of the top five on average after Fasig July and Saratoga had more than four sold, nonetheless the right names are at the top. Darley's Medaglia d'Oro has been the number three sire in North America, behind Gainesway's Tapit and Claiborne's War Front, for most of this decade, and while a clear third in a field of a few hundred is very good form, nonetheless it's good to see him hit the number one ranking once in a while, and right now Medaglia d'Oro's $756,250 average (4 sold) tops both War Front ($710,000, as you know, 2 sold) and Tapit ($600,000 average, 4 sold). "Medaglia" had the $1-million sale-topping Fasig July filly, and colts which sold for $900k, $575k, and $550k at Saratoga. Click here to see the top 50 North American sires by yearling average after the two Fasig sales.
One of the best ways to make money in the horse business is to guess right about young sires, and four of those are among the top eight North American sires by average thus far. Hill 'n' Dale's Curlin stood at Lane's End for $35,000 in 2015, and his four sold have averaged $587,500 so far, topped by the $1-million Saratoga colt–though he has had 11 through the ring. WinStar's Pioneerof The Nile, who had 3-year-old Cairo Prince and 2-year-old American Pharoah by the end of 2014, stood for $60,000; three of his six offered so far have averaged $458,333. Coolmore Ashford's Scat Daddy stood what turned out to be his final season for $35,000, and not surprisingly nine sold, of 11 offered, for an average of $396,666; and the same firm's Uncle Mo, whose first yearlings had just sold, stood for $25,000 in 2015. He's already had 23 through the ring, of which 18 have sold, for an average of $332,500. Spendthrift's Malibu Moon was of course long since established (he stood for $95,000 in 2015), and he's had seven sell for an average of $433,571 so far, ranking him sixth on this list.
A total of 15 sires have had two or more sell for an average of $300,000 or more so far. Established sires which stood for $50,000 or more in 2015 among these included: Lane's End's Candy Ride (Arg) (2 fillies offered and sold, average $355,000); and WinStar's Tiznow (4, $332,500) and More Than Ready (6, $318,333). Two sires who have made good starts with their first 2-year-olds made this list: Claiborne's Orb, who has averaged $336,428 with 14 sold from 15 offered–everybody loves Orb; and Darley's Animal Kingdom, with two black-type winners already, had four sell, of five offered, for an average of $326,250. WinStar's Super Saver (that's four WinStar sires in the top 15) had three average $311,666; and Spendthrift's remarkable Into Mischief had 10 sell (of 17 offered) for an average of $305,000, off his 2015 stud fee of $35,000.
Five sires with their first yearlings rank among the top 50 on average. Three Chimneys figured to have the top first-crop yearling sire in 2013 champion 3-year-old Will Take Charge, who has had nine sell (of 11 offered) for an average of $274,444, which by the way is over nine times his $30,000 stud fee. They probably didn't expect to have the exacta, but with an $825,000 Saratoga filly, the 2013 GI Hopeful S. winner Strong Mandate claims second spot, with five sold, for an average of $263,400–over 26 times his $10,000 stud fee! Airdrie's Cairo Prince, whose foals have been wowing buyers since they appeared last fall, ranks third, with nine sold for an average of $172,777–itself more than 17 times his entering $10,000 fee (since raised to $15,000 due to overwhelming demand), with Ashford's Verrazano fourth at this point, five sold averaging $169,400. WinStar's Fed Biz, like Cairo Prince a market darling from last year's foal sales, ranks fifth among first-crop yearling sires with two or more sold (Hill 'n' Dale's Atreides has had one sell for $135,000), with eight sold, for an average of $119,375–nearly
10 times his entering $12,500 stud fee. Saratoga is of course a boutique sale, and most sires' averages will fall a good bit as thousands more yearlings arrive in the marketplace, but what's significant about the averages so far is we see what prices the top individuals can command.

Developments in disaster-prone areas mean big bucks for builders but can put homeowners at risk
Anna Huntsman and Jake Steinberg | News21
ELFIN FOREST, Calif. – Elfin Forest is named for the miniature trees that blanket the surrounding ridgeline. The terrain acts like a wall, which has until recently prevented suburban San Diego from sprawling into the bucolic valley.
The town, home to 800 people and 300 horses, bills itself as "A Rural Community." It's accessed by a single winding two-lane road. When the valley catches fire, as it does periodically, that road is the only escape route. Residents will soon share it with 700 new neighbors.
"We're already at maximum density when it comes to evacuation," said JP Theberge, chairman of the Town Council. "This is a catastrophe waiting to happen."
The U.S. has spent more than $500 billion over the past five years cleaning up after a spate of record-breaking hurricanes and wildfires – climate-related disasters the government expects to become more frequent and more furious. Federal firefighting costs now consume more than half of the National Forest Service's budget. The National Flood Insurance Program is $20.5 billion in debt. Critics say these programs have subsidized risky land-use choices for decades, and now the bill is coming due.
Yet, from coast to coast, homes continue to go up in floodplains and areas frequented by fire. An emboldened alliance of experts, environmentalists and concerned citizens is pushing back against business-as-usual development.
After consecutive major floods in 2015, 2016 and 2017, Charleston, South Carolina, residents are calling for the city to prevent a man-made disaster in its low-lying suburbs. Builders are filling in the wetlands of nearby Johns Island, where the city has approved nearly 2,000 housing permits since 2015. In a neighboring suburb, overdevelopment was linked to flooding that forced the city to buy out homes and temporarily ban new construction there.
In the next 15 years, more than $63 billion in real estate in coastal cities such as Charleston, Miami and Galveston, Texas, will experience chronic flooding, according to a report on sea level rise released last year by the Union of Concerned Scientists.
"This whole practice of development that's going on right now is dangerous and it's putting people at risk," said Phil Dustan, an expert in rising sea levels who has studied Charleston's topography. "It could create a (Hurricane) Katrina-type situation with housing developments."
Local governments don't have the incentive or, often, the power to stop risky development. When homes are destroyed, taxpayer dollars often cushion the blow. Developers exercise immense political power, especially in growing cities where housing is needed. People want to live in these areas.
"As a society, we really like living near water. We love living in the wildland urban interface, in the mountains and we love nature, and these are the places in particular where the disasters are more prevalent," said Leslie Chapman-Henderson, president of the Florida-based Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH). "Should we be dredging up sand to build those places back up? Or should we just acknowledge that we shouldn't put structures there?"
Two communities on opposite sides of the country, one plagued by fire, the other by flooding, exemplify the precarious politics of building in disaster-prone areas. In San Diego County and Charleston, as elsewhere, experts warn that tomorrow's disasters are being built today.

California: 'We call it the death trap'
The 2014 Cocos Fire in Harmony Grove took everything from Lali Mitchell: Her father's writing from the 1940s, her son's vintage Marvel comic book collection, the 100-year-old oak her kids played under.
"My mind was just pulverized," she said. "It's so big that you just can't cry about it. It's just gone."
With flames at her back, Mitchell, 77, escaped by way of the neighborhood's single road. Fire afflicts Harmony Grove regularly, and Mitchell has lived through many blazes since moving there in 1976.
But a recently approved housing project along her only escape route could put more than 400 additional cars on the road during an evacuation. If it's built, Mitchell said, staying won't be an option.

Mitchell said the road would not support increased traffic from new residents. "There's no way you could be safe here," she warned. (Photo by Kailey Broussard/News21)
Lali Mitchell's first home in Harmony Grove, California, where she had lived since moving to the area in 1976, was destroyed in the 2014 Cocos Fire. She said the fire destroyed tens of thousands of dollars worth of art, as well as family mementos, such as her father's typewriter. "She was her own beautiful thing," Mitchell said of her burned house. (Photo by Kailey Broussard/News21)
"There's no way you could be safe here," she said. "We're terribly concerned with what they're creating. We call it the death trap."
The project, called Harmony Grove Village South, represents a fraction of the more than 10,000 homes due to be built in the riskiest fire-prone highlands of San Diego County.
As in other metro areas across the nation, the cost of a home in San Diego County is soaring. The median home price is $590,000 — double the national average — and the county is 100,000 housing units short of its 2020 goal.
"We need affordable housing. And we need to better protect the region from our greatest natural threat – wildfire," Dianne Jacob, chairwoman of the county board of supervisors, said in her 2019 state of the county speech. "We're facing a conflict between shelter and safety, and we must find some balance in this battle."
But recently, housing – and those whose business is to build it – have been winning. County supervisors have approved a steady stream of projects that require amending the county's general plan, which prioritizes growth in the urban lowlands to keep it out of rural areas with limited infrastructure and severe fire risk.
Amending the plan usually increases the number of homes developers can build, which clears the way for projects like Adara at Otay Ranch. Approved in June, the project would place more than 1,100 homes in foothills that have burned every seven years on average since 1950.
Developers argue the homes will be built to the latest fire code standards and surrounded by land stripped of fire-fueling brush. State law requires developers to prepare an evacuation plan demonstrating how residents will be able to get out.
"California has certainly seen a number of devastating fires, primarily in communities built long ago," said Borre Winckel, president of the Building Industry Association (BIA) of San Diego. "Our fire-mitigating development standards and building codes have necessarily evolved."
However, recent severe, wind-driven fires have raised questions about the limits of fire safe construction.
"You can have the most fire safe community on the planet. When a fire is coming through at a thousand degrees or more, I don't care what you've done to your house," said Char Miller, a professor of environmental history at Pomona College.
In 2008, California passed a set of stringent building codes for high fire hazard areas. In last year's deadly Camp Fire, nearly half the homes built after 2008 burned anyway. Miller said building homes this way is a smart thing to do, but it presents a problem: "It's also a way by which people fool themselves that if doing this, you will be OK."
The number of homes commingling with wilderness is expanding across the country. One in three homes in the U.S. now are in areas at increased risk of fire. The more people living in these areas, the more likely a fire will break out, said Alexandra Syphard, a fire ecologist for the Conservation Biology Institute.
"In an area with very few people, you have very few fires, because people cause all the fires," she said.
Even in areas with ample housing, local decision-makers face pressures.
"Every city hall and every county supervisor knows that one of the tickets to their political success is to greenlight development because the developers are the key factors in funding their campaigns," Miller said.
Van Collinsworth, a former firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service, checks the proposed layout of Fanita Ranch, a development approved in Santee, California. Fanita Ranch had gone back and forth between planning and legal battles for about a decade. It initially was approved in 2007, but its environmental impact reports were declared inadequate in 2013. (Kailey Broussard/News21)
Developers and real estate interests often donate liberally during election years, and local politicians often take money from builders whose projects hinge on their approval.
When a developer is in a position to make a billion dollars or more from a single project, there is little limit to what they're willing to spend, said Stephen Houlahan, vice mayor of the San Diego suburb of Santee. "There are dark-money forces, through political action committees, that do become involved in elections on behalf of their interests."
The BIA of San Diego spent at least $76,000 in support of Santee's council members last election. HomeFed Corp., a BIA member, is proposing a nearly 3,000-home project in the hills above Santee – the hills that were scorched in the 2003 Cedar Fire.
"Facts are facts, science is science, and the science says that that place is going to burn," said Houlahan, who opposes the project. "Everyone who's grown up in this city knows it."
Nonetheless, the project would be a financial gift for Santee, delivering a recurring tax windfall of $5 million, according to a report by a consulting group hired by the city.
The prospect of additional tax revenue is a common incentive for cities to approve more housing, according to Gregory Simon, an expert in human-environment interactions at the University of Colorado Denver.
"Why does the fire rage on and become so costly and injurious and even deadly? That's almost always a social thing," Simon said. "That's because all of our stuff is there. That's really the problem, and so we really should be questioning that in the first place."
A recent report from Gov. Gavin Newsom said California should "deprioritize" new development in areas that burn. Three in four Californians now say the government should restrict development in high-risk areas, according to a Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll released in June. But no laws have been passed to keep homes out of harm's way.

The communities of Elfin Forest and Harmony Grove are suing the county over Harmony Grove Village South and another housing project that together would add more than 700 homes along their eastern escape route. Dense development on the western side of the valley led to major backups during the Cocos Fire five years ago.
"People were stuck for an hour sitting in traffic because you had all the side streets coming out into the main street and they were all backed up," Theberge said. "That raised a lot of concerns about how viable is evacuating in a fire situation."
Mitchell has thought about where she'd go if Harmony Grove Village South is built, but she's counting on the lawsuit to stop the project.
"I think the only thing in our favor is that last year was such a terrible fire with the Paradise Fire," she said. "We really need a heads-up of a sane way of handling fire safety and not building in these areas that are so close to natural habitat."

South Carolina: High stakes in the Lowcountry
In Charleston, a booming manufacturing and tech economy has transformed the city from a Civil War tourist destination into a sprawling coastal metropolis. Twenty-six people move there every day.
The city's boundaries have grown beyond its historic peninsula. Over the past few decades, development has filled in the low-lying wetlands. Johns Island, a historically rural area west of downtown, is the latest front.
"I'd say the past six to eight years, things have really been changing," said Dolores Payne, a longtime resident of Johns Island.
Payne's parents once owned nearly 50 acres surrounding the plot where her tall house sits among century-old oak trees draped with Spanish moss. In 1958, they sold most of the marsh that couldn't be farmed and kept 5 acres of the highest ground, where Payne still lives.

Now, the ancient trees and open space that once distinguished her family's former property are no more. The lowland has been annexed into the city, which allows higher density development. Lush woodlands already have been razed.
The project, named Stonoview for its proximity to the Stono River, will include nearly 400 homes when complete. Johns Island residents have opposed such dense developments out of fear that they will worsen the flooding.
Like many coastal cities, Charleston can flood even in high tides. Known as the Lowcountry, the area has experienced more intense and more frequent flooding in the past several years: a 1,000-year flood in 2015 and hurricanes in the two years after.
For some, those disasters weren't entirely natural.
After getting flooded in three consecutive years, a church in the neighboring suburb of West Ashley funded a study of the region's watershed. The analysis revealed overdevelopment made flooding worse for people downstream. The culprit: storm runoff. Builders used fill dirt to raise new homes to the city's elevation requirement, but the artificial material doesn't absorb water like porous organic topsoil.
When the land is built on, it becomes impervious, said Norm Levine, geologist and director of the Lowcountry Hazards Center at the College of Charleston. "This can force water into other areas that were not originally having water problems."
Fill, which is composed mostly of crushed rock, sand and clay, allows developers to build homes on land that has long been considered too risky.
"The developers are pushing the envelope and really endangering whole areas," Charleston councilwoman Carol Jackson said.
The use of fill dirt in floodplains came under scrutiny after Hurricane Harvey inundated Houston neighborhoods. Nearly 400 homes in Harris County have been bought out, with 1,100 more recently approved.
In June, Charleston closed on a buyout of about 40 homes in West Ashley and plans to turn the land into greenspace.

"Unfortunately, we can't go back and change the past," said Mark Wilbert, Charleston's chief resilience officer. "We didn't have the science and we didn't have the engineering technology that we have today … but going forward, we really need to make sure we don't make mistakes."
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recommends coastal communities require a permit to use fill dirt. Many coastal counties do, including Charleston County. But the city of Charleston doesn't.
"We've had a foot of sea-level rise in the last hundred years. Of that sea-level rise, half of that has occurred pretty much in the last 25," Levine said. "There are a lot of rules, laws, regulations that now need to be looked at and understood with this new paradigm of sea level built into them."
Other Atlantic Coast cities share Charleston's sea-level predicament. According to data analyzed by Climate Central, the 25 most vulnerable U.S. cities are on the Atlantic, with most of them in Florida.
But flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency don't account for rising seas. And the agency's National Flood Insurance Program offers cheaper insurance to those who live in floodplains, which critics argue incentivizes building homes in flood-prone areas.

"Emphasizing affordability has led to premium rates that in many cases do not reflect the full risk of loss and produce insufficient premiums to pay for claims," said a Government Accountability Office report released in March. "In turn, this has transferred some of the financial burden of flood risk from individual property owners to taxpayers as a whole."
Federal privacy laws make it difficult for new homebuyers to know the full flooding history of their house. Newcomers flocking to Charleston could be unaware that "what they've just bought into is a very artificial environment that's been created by the developers and encouraged by the city that ultimately is going to fail them," said Johns Island resident Rich Thomas said.
A report released in July from Climate Central found homes in coastal states are being built on land vulnerable to rising sea levels at faster rates than those built on safe land. Charleston is one of 24 cities that have allowed at least 100 homes to be built in at-risk zones since 2010.
State law allows property holders to do with their land as they want as long as they follow building and zoning laws.
"Once the house is sold, [the builders] are out of the equation. When the cost comes along, who's paying it? The homeowners through their deductible and their insurance company," said Chapman-Henderson, president of FLASH.
Charleston will release new regulations for development in the coming months, but projects approved beforehand, including the 240-home River Run project on Johns Island, can continue to follow the old rules.
"Forget about the fact that that area holds water when we get serious rainstorms and tropical storms," said Dustan, the sea-level expert. "Forget about the fact that we're very vulnerable to storm surge. They don't seem to give a rip about that at all."
"When you grew up as a child in this environment, it's like your church," said Dolores Payne, who lives on Johns Island, South Carolina. "And when they come in with this heavy equipment and take it down. ... I cannot describe the pain because it's senseless. They don't have to do that." (Photo by Ellen O'Brien/News21)
Johns Island residents continue to challenge development at City Council meetings, hoping their community won't become the new West Ashley.
Payne intends to stay on the land where she grew up, despite the Stonoview development along her property line.
"I will never leave," she said. "Even if I'm the last oasis in this neighborhood, I will be the last. They'll say, 'That crazy old lady with those oak trees.' I'm not going anywhere."

NET's Bates to retire, NPR's Seabrook departs, Bodarky elected PRNDI prez, and more…
By | July 9, 2012
Bates, a producer/director who rose through the ranks to become network chief in 1996, announced his retirement plans June 22, initiating the second leadership transition for the state network's top job since its founding 58 years ago. Bates arrived at NET in 1975 as a producer/director working on a one-year assignment. He ended up devoting his career to NET, earning a promotion to senior producer and eventually moving into fundraising. He became director of development for Nebraskans for Public Television Inc. in 1985 before being appointed to succeed Jack McBride, NET's founding general manager, in the mid-1990s.
"Rod Bates' leadership has brought NET to the highest level of service in our history," said Ron Hull, a semi-retired NET veteran who hired Bates as a TV producer more than three decades ago. "He has truly made a most positive difference in the culture of our state during his 10 years on staff and 16 years as general manager in shaping the success that NET is today." Hull, whose public TV career included a stint as director of CPB's Television Program Fund during the early 1980s, is now a senior advisor at NET.
Like Hull, Bates has taken an active role in the national public media scene. He serves as board chair for both the Association of Public Television Stations and American Public Television, and he's a director on the boards of the National Educational Telecommunications Association, the University Licensee Association, the Organization of State Broadcast Executives and the Joint Licensee Group.

Paul Westhelle is the new interim director of Jefferson Public Radio in Oregon. He takes the role of his former boss Ron Kramer, who departed as executive director June 30.

Rima's daughters gave her a lot to be proud of this year: 15-year-old Nadine successfully passed the national Lebanese education exam, 16-year-old Lama received great marks in her first high school year and 18-year-old Samira graduated from high school at the top of her class.
Rima does not take these accomplishments for granted. As a single parent in Lebanon, Rima has worked long and hard so that her daughters could accomplish what she did not.
Samira, the oldest of the three daughters, is already on her way to securing meaningful employment and achieving her mother's dream. This past summer, she started interning at Lebanese Alternative Learning (LAL), a nonprofit that develops alternative educational resources through technology and creative interventions. Samira's responsibilities included helping to proofread and edit Arabic content.
In January, LAL joined Rima and her daughters in welcoming Malala Yousafzai, Tim Cook and Lisa Jackson of Apple to Lebanon. They described the experience as "life-changing." They were moved by their guests' support of girls' education and how they overcame adversity in their own lives. "This made me understand that I can be important even if I come from a very modest background," said Samira.
Thanks to support from her LAL internship, Samira recently enrolled in university to study business. Her favourite subjects are math and economics — she hopes to pursue a career in banking one day.
Thank you to Nayla Fahed, Malala Fund Gulmakai Champion and president of Lebanese Alternative Learning, for connecting us with Rima, Samira, Nadine and Lama. Malala Fund supports the work of education activists like Nayla who are breaking down barriers to girls' education in their communities.

Council employs 300 translators speaking 84 languages to give advice to immigrants
A council is employing 25 times more interpreters than 10 years ago as a result of an increase in non-English-speaking immigrants.
The number of translators at Milton Keynes Community Language Service have rocketed from 20 to 300 since 2000.
Massive demand means the centre, part of Milton Keynes Council, now offers services in 84 languages rather than the original 12.
Obscure varieties such as Twi, the second largest language in Ghana, Teluga, spoken in India, and Yoruva, used in Nigeria, are included on the centre's list.
The centre provides a free 24-hour service to immigrants helping them understand housing, health, police and legal matters in Milton Keynes, Luton, Bedford and Northampton.
Staff are currently in the process of recruiting a further 20 interpreters and plan to add Pashto, an Afghan language, by the end of the year.
Gloria Drew, co-ordinator for the centre, said the services were in "great demand" and the nature of users had changed significantly over the years.
She said: "We have definitely seen an large increase in demand for our services and for different languages.
"When we first started we were helping those who were highly educated with professional jobs such as doctors.
"Now their relatives have arrived and they are not as highly educated and need our help more.
"Milton Keynes is a very multi-cultural and welcoming city with people from all over the world who speak many different languages living here.
"Our services are in great demand and we are often needed to help at health centres, various areas within the council, hospitals and law courts.
"The interpreters all have a six day training assessment which is very intense because they have to learn all the terminology for social services, health and housing."
Milton Keynes Community Language Service is a self-funded body, as it charges 'hirers' by appointment and pays a proportion of the fee direct to the translators.
