Why you should listen to youths fighting climate change
by Aliyah Khan (Writer) |
Social causesOpinions
Don't write young people off before you hear their opinions on climate change.
I'm not the most environmentally-friendly person around. I use plastic straws sometimes, leave my air conditioner on for several hours a day, and don't adopt a plant-based diet.
I was also completely oblivious to the existence of The SG Climate Rally — Singapore's first climate change 'protest' — until I was sent to cover the event at Hong Lim Park on September 21.
Organised by a group of youth activists, the event garnered more than 2,000 attendees. Almost everyone was clad in red, with many young people holding up banners that urged for more climate action in Singapore.
An array of creative banners were on display at Hong Lim Park during the SG climate rally.

This surprised me — while I knew Singaporeans are aware of the banes of climate change, I wasn't aware that it was an urgent priority for so many.
But I was even more surprised at the negative backlash the rally received on social media, predominantly from older people on Facebook.
Dissatisfied netizens provide 'better' alternative methods to combat climate change.

What was so ridiculous about attending a climate change rally in Singapore? More importantly, why are youths pushing for climate action taken as a joke?
Hate comments targeting young climate advocates are not exclusive to Singapore.
Even Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish environmentalist that recently addressed world leaders at the United Nations UN Climate Change Summit, received adverse reactions — mostly from older people.
Greta Thunberg received backlash from netizens regarding her speech at the UN climate summit.
Youth inputs on salient issues are often perceived as immature and unfeasible. But here are a few reasons why you shouldn't write youths off before you hear what they have to say about climate change:
Climate change directly impacts their generation
Youths aren't too 'young' and 'idealistic' to take a stance on climate change. It might have been perceived an abstract tragedy nobody envisioned transpiring in their lifetime, but it's different now. The future is not a given for our generation.
A future doesn't matter if you can't live to see one.
We need to reverse the effects of climate change to ensure we have one. As Greta Thunberg said in her latest address to world leaders: "Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction."
Youths do not have the liberty to close an eye on the detrimental effects of climate change and wait until they're 'more mature' to be proactive; The irreversible damage of climate change will not wait for them to be fully grown before taking place.
Youths lead by example
Yes, they still use air conditioners and own mobile phones. But that doesn't make them hypocrites — fully eradicating technology and electricity use is not a feasible solution for anyone.
Instead, youths passionate about improving the climate are constantly looking for other practicable methods to make change, in both big ways and small.
They are incorporating personal changes to their lives, like reducing plastic use, eating less meat, thrift shopping in support of sustainable fashion, and consciously buying from environmentally-friendly brands.
Their eagerness to improve the environment are not all words and no action; they practice what they preach consistently, and encourage others to follow suit.
Youths don't hold back

Perhaps the most talked about segment of the climate rally was the die-in, where attendees pretended to die as they fell one by one, domino-style.
The act was judged by netizens on Facebook for being jarring and melodramatic, but I think that's what makes all the difference.
Youths aren't afraid to do outrageous things to prove a point. Once they're passionate for a cause, they go all the way.
And while I'm not the poster child for environmentalism, the sheer passion and determination I witnessed from people at the rally inspired me to do better. It allowed me to fully grasp the gravitas of climate change and its impact on everyone.
The fervent energy at the SG Climate Rally could be felt by everyone who was present
Even if you still don't believe youths are capable of inciting positive change, it doesn't change the fact that the climate crisis is real. It's dire and destructive, and it's happening now.
Youths are taking accountability for the actions of older generations, and pushing for change because others didn't. The least we can do is be receptive to their efforts while they try to clean up the mess left to them.
Or you could just continue criticising their efforts through a 'witty' Facebook comment that will earn you a measly few likes.

Global power shift to result in backward trajectories for advanced economies by 2050
February 12, 2015 in Economic Trends
A global economic power shift could put advanced economies such as North America, Western Europe and Japan on a backward trajectory by 2050, according to the latest in PwC's series of 'The World in 2050' reports.
Published this week, the report – 'The World in 2050: Will the shift in global economic power continue?' – presents long-term projections of potential GDP growth up to the year 2050 for 32 of the world's largest economies (84 percent of total global GDP).
Key findings in the PwC report include: (i) UK GDP is likely to fall behind Mexico and Indonesia by 2030 – this could push the UK and France out of the top 10 by 2050; (ii) long-term UK growth (averaging 2.4 percent to 2050) could be better than other large EU economies, including Germany, France and Italy; (iii) China will clearly be the largest economy by 2030, but its growth rate is likely to revert to the global average in the long run; (iv) India could challenge the US for second place by 2050; and (v) Nigeria and Vietnam are set to be the fastest growing large economies over the period to 2050.
"Emerging economies like Indonesia, Brazil and Mexico have the potential to be larger than the UK and France by 2030," claims John Hawksworth, PwC's chief economist. "Indonesia could rise as high as fourth place in the world rankings by 2050 if it can sustain growth-friendly policies."
The PwC report also suggests that the world economy is set to grow at an average of around 3 percent per year from 2015 to 2050, doubling in size by 2037 and then nearly tripling by 2050. However, the report concedes that there is likely to be a slowdown in global growth after 2020.
A forthright Mr Hawksworth said "Europe needs to up its game if it's not to be left behind by this historic shift of global economic power, which is moving us back to the kind of Asian-led world economy last seen before the Industrial Revolution.
"The US may hold up better, provided it can remain at the global technological frontier, and the UK could also perform well by G7 standards if it remains open to trade, investment, people and ideas."

Rockstar needs more time to polish the long-awaited prequel.
Earlier today, Rockstar Games announced a new release date for Red Dead Redemption 2. Unfortunately, this also means that the long-awaited prequel has been delayed once again. The official release date for Red Dead Redemption 2 is now October 26, 2018.
In today's announcement post on the Rockstar Games blog, the development studio claims that the game still needs some work before it's ready for mass consumption.
In lieu of a trailer, Rockstar included several new Red Dead Redemption 2 screenshots to hold fans over in the meantime. You can view the new screenshots on Rockstar's announcement post.
Red Dead Redemption 2 was originally unveiled back in 2016. There's still a chance that Rockstar may delay the game again, but this seems less likely now that the game has a solid release date rather than a release window. Red Dead Redemption 2 will be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 26.

Pregnancy never looked this good, Yvonne Nelson reveals baby bump in a photo shoot
The Ghanaian actress, model, film producer, and entrepreneur, Yvonne Nelson whose birthday was yesterday has displayed her heavy lump in a photo-shoot.
In a recent interview with Wowmagng, the actress reveals she expects to be a single mother stating 'as a woman, you cannot marry yourself'.
Yvonne Nelson has said she has been hoping to get pregnant since she turned 29 years. She talked about how she turned down the proposal of a man in London but became pregnant for another man who has not proposed marriage. She went on to reveal some details about the soon-to-be dad, she said he is British, has had kids before, he is "super happy" about becoming a father again and is a responsible man.
The 32-year-old said while the idea of marriage is "scary", she still holds on to the hope of marrying. "Yeah, when it happens, I will be glad" but adds "I don't want to put pressure on anyone".
The House Of Gold star also disclosed that although her mother had always advocated for marriage before pregnancy, she has been supportive since she got pregnant out of wedlock and is more concerned about her baby and not the fact that she got impregnated by a man who has not married her.
She said while she may view not having set a good example by putting a bump before a ring, she thinks "society is just too hard on some of us". Enjoy the pictures below.

I'm not very musically inclined, typically don't listen to anything while I sew.
I think I have an accurate 1/4 inch seam. I nest most of my seams and sew by feel more than by pinning.
I recently started doing improv/fantasy feathers on the (rented) long-arm quilting machine. I'm not good at them but found them to be tons of fun!
Nope, but I have a couple quilt patterns on sale at Etsy! I do project management for pharmaceutical research & development.
This is tough, it really depends on the project and how I am feeling. I love being able to try out different palettes with one quilt without making a commitment. I do use a lot of solids and textural blenders for my projects. I tend towards scrap quilting and would prefer to use 12 shades of a color rather than only one fabric.
Tell us about the quilt that means the most to you and why. This doesn't have to be one that you made.
I have two! One is the quilt that I had on my bed when I was a teen, that then each of my sisters used and it is now in rather poor shape. This was made by a great aunt and had parasol girls embroidered on it, with yellow gingham on the back. It is quite traditional but very much the style of quilts around when I grew up.
The other one is the first pattern I made up completely, based on the beginning of the Fibonacci sequence using bright solids that my sister has on her bed.
I wanted a new cover for my bed about 7 years ago and my mother said that if I pieced a top, she would do the quilting. I was looking to develop a new creative hobby and gave quilting a try and have being doing some off and on ever since. She does a lot of my quilting since she doesn't like piecing much.
Any part that is designing. I love improv quilting and scrap quilts because I get to keep making design decisions every step of the way.
Two parts, I look for inspiration from art and photos or I go off and do something else for a while.
Cooking and decorating/renovating the home.
Very hard to pick just one! Lone Star Taco is a current favorite.
Instagram and Etsy handle is piecesofrebecca, no blog.
I hate pinning and will do almost anything to not pin a quilt!

Despite being one of the older models in the class, the QX60 probably won't feature any particular change for the next year. Moreover, the 2021 Infiniti QX60 is about to carry on in the same way, with familiar design characteristics, which didn't significantly change since the initial launch in 2014. Of course, there were some updates, but things essentially remained the same. This is model is in a close relationship with the Nissan Pathfinder and features almost identical mechanics and proportions.
Still, that doesn't mean we aren't talking about a genuine premium crossover, which has a lot of great things to offer. For example, it offers a spacious cabin, easy access to the third row, decent interior quality, powerful engine, and a quite comfortable ride.
Moreover, the price is lower compared to most competitors. Also, you may also count on good fuel economy, respectable towing rating etc. Considering that no changes are expected for the next year, we expect it will arrive in typical time, sometime late in the year.
2021 Infiniti QX60 Redesign
This is where we definitely don't expect bigger changes for the 2021 Infiniti QX60. The current generation will remain in production for another year or two, which means we may count on familiar design characteristics. This includes both mechanics and aesthetics. In terms of mechanics, this model rides on a good-old D platform, which ensures a lot of space on the inside, as well as a pretty smooth ride.
When it comes to aesthetics, we really don't expect to see anything particular for the next year. The 2016 model received a facelift, which has brought a lot of visual novelties and adapted this model to the brand's current design language. Therefore, we don't expect to see anything more notable to be changed in the next year.
The same thing goes for interior design. We don't expect to see any particular change. The 2021 Infiniti QX60 will carry on with the same dashboard design. It is characterized by a decent overall quality, though there are some areas that feature cheap plastics. Also, the overall design seems a little bit dated. So, we could say that many rivals look younger and more attractive.
Despite we could criticize the dashboard design and quality, the 2021 Infiniti QX60 will be very strong in another aspect, which refers to space and functionality. With more than 114 inches in wheelbase, it features two quite spacious rows of seats, while the third row can be decent in the right circumstances as well. We particularly like the fact that the second-row slides, which allows super easy access to the third row.
When it comes to the cargo capacity, you may count on pretty decent 16 cubic feet behind the third row. 40.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 76 cubic feet of the overall cargo volume are also quite typical numbers for the class.
Novelties in terms of standard equipment are always nice, but we don't expect to see too many of them in the 2021 Infiniti QX60. Most likely, the list of standard equipment will remain pretty much the same. This means you may count on an 8-inch screen, eight USB ports, Bluetooth, satellite radio, HD Radio, moonroof and a six-speaker stereo. In higher trims you can also get features like an 8-inch touch screen, Amazon Alexa, navigation, a premium 13- or 15-speaker Bose sound system, a rear-seat entertainment system with dual 8-inch screens and more.
When it comes to safety features, the list of standard equipment includes things like a rearview camera, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and blind-spot monitoring. Additionally, you can get things like adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, a surround-view parking camera system, moving object detection, Active Trace Control, reverse automatic braking, the following distance indicator, blind spot intervention, lane keep assist, lane departure warning etc.
2021 Infiniti QX60 Engine
Things under the hood will also remain the same. The 2021 Infiniti QX60 will carry on with the well-known 3.5-liter V6. It delivers around 295 horsepower, which seems pretty much okay in terms of driving dynamics. The engine comes in pair with a CVT gearbox. That may not be the most attractive choice in terms of driving experience, especially if we are talking about a premium model. On the other side, things are highly beneficial in terms of fuel economy, which goes around above-average 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. A max towing capacity goes up to 5.000 pounds.
2021 Infiniti QX60 Release Date and Price
Considering that there are no bigger changes to come, we expect to see 2021 Infiniti QX60 in a typical time of year, sometime in the last quarter. The price should remain pretty much the same as for the current model, which starts slightly under 44.500 dollars.

One accessory that has never and probably will never go out of fashion is- sunglasses! The reason is simple- we all need them, whatever the condition of the weather we might have around us. Be it chilly winds of winter or harsh strokes of summers, they always serve their purpose i.e. to safeguard your eyes and make you look uber-cool.
But, in this new age of digital world, choosing the right product (especially via a reliable portal) is surely a tough task to entertain- or so I thought!
In one of my recent quests of buying sunglasses (I have fetish for them you see), I came across LensKart, which I think is one of the best websites that I have seen for eye-wear products in a very long time. I mean you talk about Aviators, the Gardient lens, the round John Lennon stuff or over-sized sunglasses; they probably have got all of them. But then you ask- 'what's so cool about it?' Fair enough question!
Well, here are the reasons because of which I loved my whole experience of browsing and shopping through this website.
It was evident that the site's focus was on providing all the solutions related to the eye wear category (I want to congratulate their team here in justifying the attachment of the brands name with the actual products that are being sold on the portal), and trust you me- you will never run out on options once you browse through the website.
I have always hated websites, wherein, I have had to wait for millions of years just to get even one page loaded, and this is where this portal scores the most for me. The site runs at a supreme speed and allows you to navigate through various categories with utmost ease. Maintaining your shopping cart is a real simple process, and so is using your discount coupons or gift vouchers to buy your favourite products.
I particularly like the hues that Lenskart has used in developing their website, which is easy on eyes and doesn't scream for attention, but rather focuses on performance. You can locate their stores easily, call their 24×7 helpline number to get any support or track your orders which is of utmost importance for any website that sells products online.
Has to be the content that not only explains the brands that are listed, but the kind of styles that are present across categories. I browsed through the sunglasses (you can check them here – http://www.lenskart.com/sunglasses.html) and found my favourite aviators there which I have been longing for a long time ever since I lost my last pair. But that's what all the sites do right? Wrong!
While all the other sites might give you a little information on what the product and brand is all about, not many talk about the type of faces those particular style of sunglasses would suit and that is where LensKart impressed me the most.
Let's be honest, not all of us have the idea of what kind of sunglasses suits on what type of faces, but if you scroll their page down (on the link listed above), and read about the sunglasses, you would find all the necessary information that you need there and well, it becomes easier to choose what's best for you!

I am trying to get my webpage to detect when a user's pixel size is within 768 and 1200px and I plan to change the way the menu works when someone fits within this parameter.
This an example of my code:
if (@media < 768px && @media >1 200px){
    Then
        $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#myMenuButton').menu({
            content: $('#myContent').html(),
            maxHeight: 180,
            positionOpts: { offsetX: 10, offsetY: 20 },
            showSpeed: 300
        });
    });
}

A: You can use the jQuery $(window).resize() event. For example, you can do this:
$(window).resize(function(){
    var windowWidth = $(window).width(); //Get the user's width
    if (windowWidth < 1200 && windowWidth > 768){
        //Do code
    }
});

Documentation for resize event: https://api.jquery.com/resize/
Note that you're better to wrap the above code into document ready

Usually referred to simply as Schema, Schema.org is the end result of a collaborative effort between Google, Yandex, Yahoo! and Bing. Schema markups are a type of 'microdata' that can be used to greatly enhance the entries about your site on the Search Engine Results Page, allowing you to define content types, tweak rich snippets, and ultimately help search engines better understand your site. These markups should be used both sparingly and intelligently - making use of the wrong markup code could be disastrous.
What Is Schema's Relationship To Other Types Of Structured Data?
Schema is one of many different types of structured data, a rather broad category which includes Facebook's Open Graph and Twitter Cards. It can be used in conjunction with most other types of structured data such as RDFa, Microdata, JSON-LD, and Microformats. It's generally applied to a website through HTML code.
How And When Should You Use Schema?
It's worth noting here that Schema doesn't actually have a concrete impact on your website's ranking - at least, that's the official word from Google. That said, Schema will make it easier for search engines to properly index and categorize the content on your website, in addition to providing visitors with more information about your organization. So while it doesn't have a direct impact as a ranking signal, it's a valuable tool for SEO.
Better SEO means more traffic and a better rank.
What that means is that you should use Schema wherever possible. In general, it should be considered a best practice similar in importance to keyword research or local search optimization. That said, how you use it will vary depending on what sort of website you're operating.
A digital storefront, for example, might make use of Schema markups to feature product ratings and reviews, images, and additional information about organizations. An event management firm might use it to show details about event time, location, and venue, while a tourist destination might provide users with data about locations and ratings. There's actually a fairly staggering array of different elements it can be used to markup and describe entities on your pages - you can find a full list here.
Unfortunately, Schema needs to be added manually to each page on a website - which, in the case of larger sites, can be extremely time-consuming. For this reason, it's important that you start to implement the markup while still in the planning stages for your site - that way, you can key in all the important details while you're building your pages. Thankfully, there are also a number of tools and resources floating around the web designed to make Schema easier to deal with.
We'll close off this section with a few tips, tricks, and words of advice related to Schema.
In order to create rich snippets, you need a certain number of properties. Google's Structured Data Testing Tool can be used to determine if there's enough information in your markup for a rich snippet.
Plugins exist for most content management systems that make the use - and application - of Schema and other markup languages significantly simpler.
If trying to establish your content on social media, it's strongly advised that you use Schema in conjunction with other markups tags such as Open Graph.
There's no limit to the number of properties that can be applied to a page, and the more properties you add, the clearer that page's purpose will be to search engines.


So I hear that there is some kind of sporting event about to happen within hours of this post. This image expresses my interest in these types of events. However, my mind goes to the bigger picture as well. As it happens every year this major sporting event always falls on a Sunday, and more and more, churches of late have adjusted their normal schedules to accommodate the NFL, even going so far as to cancel services. How should we think about these types of events?
The Old Testament is helpful here, but needs to be put into context. When Israel was coming out of Egypt and entering into the Promised Land, it was full of people who worshipped false gods. Under the leadership of Joshua and Caleb, the Israelites conquered many of these people in a miraculous way, with the sovereign hand and guidance of God.
One of the things that we don't relate to as well anymore is this concept of little "g" gods like Baal, or Molech, or the Queen of Heaven. I would like to propose to you, the reader, that we still have such gods but that they are known by different names. The gods of our society of leisure and pleasure, idleness and entertainment.
There is something, or Someone rather, who doesn't change, and that is God Himself (see Heb. 13:8). Therefore, the imperative we read at the conclusion of the book of Joshua still has bearing on the modern believer. Joshua told the people of Israel: "If it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the river or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Josh. 24:15).
Let's put this in modern context and say that you have a choice between the True and Living God and the false gods of entertainment, most typified by this sporting event called the Super Bowl. You will make a choice. Are you going to forsake assembling with other believers for the purpose of corporate worship (which is what worship is supposed to be) so you can watch a game? Are you going to let the anticipation of that game distract you from your attention to the Word of God and prayer and fellowship? I know that a lot of people really get into sports and am not condemning that; I'm simply challenging you to examine yourselves (cf. 2 Cor. 13:5) and see if that love of sports has crossed the line into idolatry. Sadly, for many in the church, it has. Our arenas are the new temples of modernist religion. They are packed out with tens of thousands each Sunday while our churches are emptying. Don't let your love of the world and its false gods take you away from the Worship of the One who created the heavens and the earth, who for formed you while you were yet in your mother's womb, and who not only sustains your life on earth, but offers you eternal life in heaven.

The Amateur's Guide To Death & Dying
Enhancing Life Near Death
Posted on August 6, 2015 August 6, 2015 by Richard Wagner
Island resident one of few to choose death with dignity
by SUSAN MCCABE
These days it's common to openly discuss topics that past generations would have considered rude, such as sex, money, politics and religion. Death on the other hand, particularly one's own, often remains a conversational taboo for many, though it's probably one of the most important discussions to be had with those closest to us.
In this state, some people are taking that final topical frontier out of the humidor with death cafes and advanced directives. Some also are taking action with Compassion & Choices, the organization now working with residents in Washington, Vermont and Oregon who choose physician assisted suicide (PAS) when they are diagnosed with fewer than six months to live and no reprieve in sight. Former Washington Governor Booth Gardner led the voter initiative that legalized PAS in this state in 2008, as he faced his own demise from Parkinson's disease.
Only a small number of people in Washington have taken advantage of the law since its passage. One of them, islander Greg Smith, followed through on his choice on July 27, peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Smith was a long-time advocate of death with dignity and, in an effort to enlighten others, he recorded a conversation with his friend, Lin Noah, on a Voice of Vashon episode of Island Crossroads about two weeks before his final going away party.
Smith was candid in telling the story of his battle with lung cancer, which returned "with a vengeance" two years ago. In May of this year, his doctors told him there was nothing more they could do and that he had two to six months to live. Smith said his decision to take his own life had germinated well before that — at his initial diagnosis.
"I'd seen friends and family members leave this mortal coil with the disease," he explained, "and realized that was not the end I wanted for myself."
To offer a chance for family and friends to say goodbye, Smith organized a party for the night before he was to drink his final cocktail.
To assure that key friends and family could attend, "I had to schedule my suicide around other people's vacations," he said laughing. He added that he chose a date just three months after his final diagnosis because he didn't want his sons to go through the final stages of lung cancer with him.
Smith's sons, ages 31 and 28, spent considerable time working with him to accept his early demise – Smith was only 61 – and respect his wishes for a peaceful passage. Smith called his choice an opportunity to "stand up with dignity, face cancer and embrace my sons one last time," rather than dwindle from life in small and excruciating increments.
Snubbing his nose at cancer, Smith said he chose PAS to take control of his life away from the disease and end it on his own terms. Smith had written on a national PAS blog for some time, urging people in other states to have the freedom to choose. One reader took his impassioned diary to the American Medical Association's (AMA) national convention. The follow-up report was that the AMA's ethics committee reviewed Smith's diary with fresh eyes, generating hope that the association might reconsider their opposition to PAS.
To those who would wonder if he might change his mind, Smith said he didn't want to continue "playing roulette" with the end of his life and that he was ready to say goodbye. He added that with the awareness of death's imminence, he felt he had used his time well, deepening important relationships.
Some would say doctors have been behind the curve in the move toward choices at the end of life. Naturopath Brad Lichtenstein leads so-called death cafes in Seattle, where people gather over coffee to address the inevitable, honestly and in a safe environment. He has stated that while most physicians eschew heroic measures at the end of their own lives in favor of dying quietly at home, they often implement every available life-prolonging tool for their patients.
"For a physician, when a patient dies, they've failed," he explained.
Statistics show that more money is spent in the last months of life on extra measures that often will not prolong life at all. But, in the absence of a living will or advance directives, doctors will do everything possible to keep a patient technically alive.
Lichtenstein's death cafes, the growth in the number of palliative care physicians and the entry of hospice care into the mainstream all herald changes in the end-of-life field. Soon, islanders will have access to a program to assist in the process of identifying preferences and creating advance directives for end of life before it is imminent. Called Honoring Choices, it is based on a model that originated in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, and will be offered by nurse practitioner Wendy Noble, and Carol Spangler, who has a graduate degree in public health. The two will offer facilitation services to families free of charge.
Noble and Spangler will host a presentation on Thursday by Bernard "Bud" Hammes, Ph.D., the medical ethicist who developed and directs the Wisconsin program (Respecting Choices). Hammes, an international leader in the field of end of life issues and advance care planning, has been featured on NPR, ABC's Good Morning America, CBS Sunday Morning, NBC Rock Center and, most recently, on the PBS program, "Caring for Mom and Dad."
He will appear with, among others, representatives from Honoring Choices Pacific Northwest, the Snohomish County Health Leadership Coalition and the Whatcom Alliance for Health Advancement, two organizations that have successfully implemented the program in their communities.
The presentation, according to Noble and Spangler, will provide specifics on what advance care planning means, why it's important and what's happening in the state to help people develop advance care plans.
What the two say they hope to do on Vashon is two-tiered. Their first step is to train others in the process of facilitating Honoring Choices.
"With a trained team," said Noble, "we'll begin small group conversations about advance directives and provide appropriate documents and instructions for completing and filing those directives."
And when invited, they'll meet with individuals and their families to help clarify their wishes for end of life health care.
As Spangler noted, "Determining and sharing end of life choices is a process. It's a difficult discussion to start with one's family."
She and Noble say they are committed to helping Island residents start those discussions and share their decisions.
Professionals in the "death trade," as it's often referred to, agree that discussions of death and dying are really about living. With the implementation of this program, it appears that Vashon will soon be a place where people are ready to lead both the exploration and the conversation.

Wendy Yuan: The Next David Emerson for Vancouver-Kingsway
February 8, 2008 Stephen Elliott-Buckley 8 Comments
-- Download Wendy Yuan: The Next David Emerson for Vancouver-Kingsway as PDF --
So it turns out that in the tradition of Liberal candidates in Vancouver-Kingsway, like David Emerson's lack of commitment to the riding, the new Liberal candidate, Wendy Yuan, does not live in the riding, though her campaign claims she does.
Perhaps it was an error by anonymous correspondent on her campaign team to email me [above] with confirmation that she lives in the riding. Or maybe she's just another inauthentic constituency "representative."
NDP candidate Don Davies reported yesterday that she lives in Richmond and has not denied his repeated claims that she does not live in the riding:
Davies said that although Wendy Yuan, a long-time resident of Richmond, last year claimed that it's not important for an MP to live in the riding, the Yuan campaign office now says she is a resident of Vancouver Kingsway.
According to land title records as of February 1, 2008, Ms Yuan and her husband are the registered owners of a home in Richmond. Documents further show that Ms Yuan re-mortgaged this property in April, 2007. As of February 6, 2008, there is no record that they own a home in Vancouver.
"We also searched on-line telephone and address directories. We can find no record of any residence attributed to Ms Yuan in the riding," said Davies.
"I think Ms Yuan has some explaining to do: where does she live? Does she live in Vancouver Kingsway or not? If so, why has she kept her residence in Richmond?" Davies asked.
"Before [the last election], Ms Yuan stepped aside so Paul Martin could appoint Mr. Emerson as the candidate. Her personal reward was an appointment by the former prime minister as a representative on trade issues in Asia," said Davies.
"[She and Emerson] both came out ahead personally, while voters who cast – or wanted to cast – their ballots in good faith were betrayed.
"Now, we see Ms Yuan trying to fool the voters into thinking she lives in Vancouver Kingsway – which is either directly untrue, or without telling them she retains her main residence in Richmond.
Meanwhile on Wendy Yuan's website we read all sorts of feel-good statements about representative democracy.
As a Chinese Canadian woman and as an immigrant who came to Canada twenty-three years ago, I feel that Canada has given me so much and it's high time for me to give something back to this great country of ours by serving the people and making a difference. And a great way to do this of course is to work with all of you and the residents of Vancouver Kingsway so that together we can build a more just, a more prosperous and a greener Canada.
"All of you and the residents of Vancouver Kingsway," not all of "us."
Yes, I am relatively new to politics, but I am ready to bring a fresh approach to the residents of Vancouver Kingsway.
Again, no mention of belonging to the community, just a group of people she will service. And it's not that fresh approach if her style of honesty and full disclosure is similar to Emerson's–that's just cynical.
I am ready to listen to you and deal with the real issues and I want to prove to you that we as Liberals are here for the long haul. I believe that the Liberal Party's principles, its core values and its vision are the means to build a stronger community in Vancouver Kingsway and indeed, a stronger Canada.
It's too bad that the Liberals define long haul by sending in a candidate from another city. Are there no quality Liberal candidates who actually live in our riding?
My first responsibility will be to represent you and all the residents in this constituency. I will keep my promises to you and I will hold myself accountable if given the honour to work for the people of Vancouver Kingsway. As we get ready for the next election I will continue to knock on doors, engage with people, and learn more about how we can work together to address our concerns and aspirations.
Again, "this" constituency, not "our." "Our" concerns and aspirations? Would those be the concerns of Richmond residents?
I will use my skills in international business to contribute to Canada's success in the Pacific Rim and my experience as a working parent, an immigrant and a woman to address the issues and challenges that we face in our riding.
Well, now it's "our" riding. Unless she can demonstrates that she lives in our riding, this is an unacceptable word.
Before I ask you for your support and for your vote, I say let me earn it first. I invite you to engage with me in our democratic process, to participate in discussions and concrete actions that will help turn a new page in Vancouver Kingsway's diverse and growing neighbourhoods and communities.
Well, I engaged with her by asking if she lives in the riding. She says she does, but the evidence contradicts that.
When her campaign office calls me back to explain their email to me from December and try to prove to me that she lives in the riding, I'll update this post.
And here's the update. An email came in with an attached pdf of her Hydro bill. Her personal information was blacked out at the source. I purpled out her account number and meter number, which are none of anyone's business anyway:

It's another case of some white guys thinking they can just lie through their teeth to get what they want by damaging the reputation of an excellent ethnic female candidate, as like what Don Davies did to Alicia Barsallo during the nomination.
Wendy Yuan is living in my building near Joyce station which is part of Kingsway riding. We met in the elevator sever times and she seems very nice lady although I am not fan of Liberal party.
It's time for NDP to face the truth and be honest about it.
stephen elliott-buckley says:
yes, wouldn't it be great if she lives in the riding!
I'm not sure what statement anywhere is a lie, which would be an intentional fabrication based on knowing something to be true yet saying the opposite.
i have no idea how excellent a candidate she would make or whether she's a nice lady.
my skin colour has nothing to do with my problems with David Emerson; nor does it affect my concerns about Wendy Yuan.
Jack's son-in-law says:
Straight up, I am living in Quadra.
How can any sane person make a conclusion based on Land Title Office record and phone record?
I am living with my girlfriend in her parents' basement. I don't own any property in Vancouver or anywhere for that matter and all the bills are under her parent's name (Jack: really appreciated). Does that make me homeless as there wont' be any record to show me living in Vancouver?
Don Davies's Press Release is retarded, so is your blog.
These comments are absurd – and defensive. Of course, if I were trying to mislead the people of Vancouver Kingsway like Wendy Yuan is, I'd be upset too.
FACT: Wendy Yuan lives in Richmond.
FACT: She confirmed she lives in Richmond throughout 2007.
FACT: Yuan re-mortgaged her house in Richmond for 5 more years in Spring, 2007 – yes, until 2012.
FACT: We have been making an issue of the fact she didn't live in the riding for many months – and Yuan knows this charge resonates with voters.
FACT: She just rented an apartment in late 2007 – so she can claim she "lives" in VKingsway. No phone land line – and she released a Hydro bill that had the amounts BLACKED OUT!! (I guess it would have showed she wasn't really using any utilities).
FACT: She DOES have a land line in Richmond – so cut the crap of "many people don't have land lines".
FACT: Yuan does not authentically live in Kingsway – although she is trying to mislead people that she does.
FACT: Yes, many people live in rented basement suites in Kingsway – but not many ALSO own 2500 square feet houses in swanky neighbourhoods in Richmond at the same time! Perhaps you could name a few?
FACT: If Yuan wants to be honest – she should tell people she maintains her house in Richmond, and has rented a pad in Kingsway. Then let people make up their mind about her real connection to Kingsway.
The only thing damaging to the Liberals in Kingsway is the truth.
They should try telling it sometime.

I have some deep concerns over Wendy as well. I don't think she's been honest on many things. She actually has very close tie with the Chinese consulate…… I'd elect anyone but Wendy Yuan.

Here's a letter from a concerned ex-pat. I agree that too many Wendies in Ottawa could create a huge problem not only for ex pats but for the rest of us Canadians who cherish freedom of speech/expression and most of all democracy untainted with the Chinese regime's deviated fascist values.
Is Wendy Yuan a Liberal or a Mouthpiece for the Communist regime?
Letter published In the Dajiyuan
Author: Xiangyun Li
Last Sunday my wife and I went to the Crystal Mall to watch a federal election debate. As landed immigrants for some time, we were curious to have a taste of democracy and freedom. To my great surprise, Wendy Yuan, the Liberal candidate for Vancouver-Kingsway, made a remark that knocked me off as she sounded like a communist official in China.
During the question period, a woman asked about the persecution of Falun Gong. She said that Honourable David Klgour and human rights lawyer David Matas investigated the removal of organs from Falun Gong practitioners. What they have done represents the Canadian values of respecting human rights and cherishing lives. She asked what measures would each candidate take, if elected, to help stop the persecution of Falun Gong?
The conservative and NDP candidates both said they stand for human rights but the Liberal candidate Wendy Yuan made a surprising assertion: "Prime Ministers Martin and Chretien visited China many times. I heard with my own ears when they raised human rights issues to the Chinese leaders. China's human rights are a problem. But your question is about Falun Gong issue. Our Canadian position is that we don not interfere with another country's internal affair."
If Wendy is a Chinese communist, what she said is expected. However, she claims that she has lived in Canada for more than 20 years. She is also now a candidate for the biggest opposition party in Canada. How come she has a Chinese dictator's mindset?
Wendy classifies Falun Gong issue as non-human rights and labels it as China's internal affair. Let me ask Wendy, isn't it a human right issue when the Chinese regime forbids Falun Gong group to have freedom of belief, when it defames, insults, and tortures them, and detains them without a legal procedure? The Chinese regime has an absurd definition that "human rights are rights to an existence". Over 3,000 verified death cases of Falun Gong practitioners have been filed with the UN, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Even according to the regime's definition, aren't these cases an issue of human rights?
Let me ask Wendy Yuan, when you went with the Prime Minister to China and raised human rights issues, was it interfering with China's internal affairs? Why would raising Falun Gong issue be interfering? As early as 2002 the Canadian Parliament unanimously adopted the motion to support Falun Gong. Was it an interference with China's internal affairs on the part of MPs?
Let me ask Wendy, Canada is a signatory of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international treaties. By rights and by Canadian traditional commitment to justice, Canada has responsibilities to step forward to urge for an end to the brutal persecution of Falun Gong. An MP candidate who is not aware of this is unqualified to serve Canadians. Should Wendy go to Ottawa, it would be a misfortune for Vancouver-Kingsway. Should more Wendies be in Ottawa, it would be a disaster for Canada.
Wendy maybe smart in business but unable to distinguish human rights versus internal affairs. She claims to serve Canadians but serves as China's mouthpiece. Let me give Wendy some reference: Yang Ailun, a NY State Congress woman lost her re-election campaign in a seemingly winning situation because she chose to befriend the Chinese regime, and she is subject to judicial investigation; in China the momentum has been one for quitting the communist party and protests take place in growing numbers and size. The overturn of the communist throne can happen any time. Wendy, take care not to be doomed with the Chinese regime.

Here's an interesting news about Wendy Yuan:
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/25829/42/
Liberal Wendy Yuan's view on Falun Gong Consistent with Chinese Regime
CIPFG Calls on Dion to Reject Wendy Yuan's view vis-a-vis Falun Gong akin to that of the Chinese regime
Vancouver – At an all candidate debate in Vancouver-Kingsway riding, organized by Chinese Radio AM 1320 on October 4, 2008, Liberal Party candidate Wendy Yuan, speaking of Liberal Party policy regarding the rights abuses against Falun Gong in China, stated that "for Falun Gong, our policy is not to interfere in other country's internal affairs"; all the remaining candidates spoke in favour of protecting the basic rights of Falun Gong practitioners.
Clive Ansley, Chairman of the CIPFG, Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, is demanding that Liberal Party Leader Stephane Dion disassociate the Liberal Party from Wendy Yuan's indefensible position which in effect holds that the torture, genocide, and mass murder of Falun Gong practitioners for the purpose of harvesting their organs are internal Chinese issues, and that Liberal Party policy is to turn a blind eye toward these atrocities.
Ansley stated that "Human Rights are universal and non-partisan. It was shocking to hear from Ms. Yuan that the Liberal policy toward genocide, torture, and murder for the theft of organs is to cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party's cover-up of its crimes. Under International Law, Human Rights abuses and Crimes Against Humanity can never be considered the internal affairs of any sovereign state. No state is permitted, under International Law, to violate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention Against Torture, or the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity. It is imperative that Stephan Dion, in the light of Ms. Yuan's troubling statement, make absolutely clear whether the Liberal Party stands on the side of International Law or on the side of the Chinese Communist Party ( the most prolific perpetrator of Crimes Against Humanity in this era)."
"We have written to Dion and still await his reply," said Sue Zhang of the Falun Dafa Association of Canada.
Background: What is happening to Falun Gong in China
Falun Gong is a spiritual practice based on principles of "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance" and five sets of gentle exercises and meditation. It was widely accepted in China before 1999 when the persecution started because of Falun Gong's popularity. The CCP leader at the time, Jiang Zemin, declared that the CCP must defeat Falun Gong.
For the past nine years, the persecution of Falun Gong has been a crucial and essential part of the ubiquitous Human Rights abuses in China which are now endemic across the nation. UN Special Rapporteur Manfred Nowak reaffirmed in his 2007 report that Falun Gong practitioners account for 66 % of torture victims in government custody. US State Department annual reports confirm that Falun Gong adherents constitute at least half the 250,000 officially recorded inmates in reeducation-through-labour camps, while the real number likely is much higher.
The Hon. David Kilgour, former Liberal MP, and Mr. David Matas, renowned human rights lawyer, concluded in their independent investigation report that "there has been and continues today to be large scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners" by the "the government of China and its agencies in numerous parts of the country"; "the widespread killing of Falun Gong practitioners for profit to provide organs for transplants is "so shocking that it represents a new form of evil on this planet."
The Falun Dafa Information Center has documented more than 3,100 deaths of Falun Gong practitioners while undergoing torture. Many more cases of detention and death remain unreported, as the Chinese regime imposes an information blockade, and reporting these cases to outside authorities constitutes a severe "crime" of "leaking state secrets." Documentation is notoriously difficult in China and the real number of practitioners murdered by the Chinese Communist Party almost certainly numbers in the tens of thousands.
Millions upon millions of Falun Gong practitioners have lost their jobs, housing, education, and all basic rights and have been incarcerated and tortured for refusing to give up their beliefs. No lawyer is allowed to defend them. Lawyer Gao Zhisheng, "the conscience of Chinese lawyers," lost his licence to practise, his law firm was shut down, and he was himself incarcerated for defending a Falun Gong practitioner, and for writing to Chinese leaders calling for an end to the persecution.
Persecution affects Canadians
The persecution also affects Canadians. Currently, thirteen family members of Canadians are currently incarcerated in China for their belief in Falun Gong. Yue Yao, wife of Canadian resident Wenyu Liu in Calgary, is one of 12 jailed practitioners with Canadian ties. In 2001 Ms. Yao was sentenced to 12 years in prison for downloading information from Falun Gong websites and printing leaflets for distribution. Mr. Jian Ma, husband of Ms. Yao Lian in Montreal, is currently serving 2.5 years in forced labor camp for having Falun Gong-related documents at his home.

The structural technology of this heating wire allows to solve installation problems in a practical and safe way and at a reduced price. It is the ideal solution in situations requiring flexibility of use, an easy assembly and a quick performance. Thanks to its peculiarity of providing constant power per metre, both depending on temperature variations and on the length of the heating circuit, it can be cut, pieced and connected directly by the operator during the installation, with few easy and quick operations. Among the manifold advantages offered by this heating cable, attention should be paid to the possibility to control the operation status of each heating circuit, and to the easiness and low price of assembly thanks to the accessories that Calorflex can provide for its application (see technical specifications of accessories).
The cable is supplied in measured plastic or cardboard bobbins for a further reworking on part of the customer.
The standard measures of the bobbins are: 150m – 250m – 400m – 500m.
At request, Calorflex can provide all the necessary accessories for the installation together with the heating cable.

French Doctor Returning From Syria Says Rebel Ranks In Aleppo Packed With Foreign Jihadists, Half The Fighters He Treated Were Non-Syrian…
No surprise.
(Reuters) – Foreign Islamists intent on turning Syria into an autocratic theocracy have swollen the ranks of rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad and think they are waging a "holy war", a French surgeon who treated fighters in Aleppo has said.
Jacques Beres, co-founder of medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres, returned from Syria on Friday evening after spending two weeks working clandestinely in a hospital in the besieged northern Syrian city.
In an interview with Reuters in his central Paris apartment on Saturday, the 71-year-old said that contrary to his previous visits to Homs and Idlib earlier this year about 60 percent of those he had treated this time had been rebel fighters and that at least half of them had been non-Syrian.
"It's really something strange to see. They are directly saying that they aren't interested in Bashar al-Assad's fall, but are thinking about how to take power afterwards and set up an Islamic state with sharia law to become part of the world Emirate," the doctor said.
The foreign jihadists included young Frenchmen who said they were inspired by Mohammed Merah, a self-styled Islamist militant from Toulouse, who killed seven people in March in the name of al-Qaeda.
The doctor's account corroborates other anecdotal evidence that the struggle against Assad appears to be drawing ever greater numbers of fellow Arabs and other Muslims, many driven by a sense of religious duty to perform jihad (holy war) and a readiness to suffer for Islam.
But while some are professional "jihadists", veterans of Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya or Libya who bring combat and bomb-making skills with them that alarm the Western and Arab governments which have cheered the rebels on, many have little to offer Syrians but their goodwill and prayers.
Beres described treating dozens of such jihadists from other Arab countries, but also at least two young Frenchmen.
"Some of them were French and completely fanatical about the future," he said. "They are very cautious people, even to the doctor who treated them. They didn't trust me, but for instance they told me that Mohammed Merah was an example to follow."

Q: formatStyle over multiple columns DT R I have a data.frame with one ID column and multiple numeric columns, the amount of numeric columns can differ. Of these numeric columns I want to color all values above the column mean green and all values below the column mean red. The code below give my desired outcome, but it is not a generic code for data frames with more or less numeric columns.
library(DT)

data2 <- cbind(ID = "some ID",iris[,1:4])

    datatable(
      data2, rownames = FALSE, class = 'cell-border stripe',
      options = list(
        dom = 't', pageLength = -1, lengthMenu = list(c(-1), c('All'))
      )
) %>%
  formatStyle(colnames(data)[2], backgroundColor = styleInterval(mean(data[,2]), c("red","green"))) %>%
  formatStyle(colnames(data)[3], backgroundColor = styleInterval(mean(data[,3]), c("red","green"))) %>%
  formatStyle(colnames(data)[4], backgroundColor = styleInterval(mean(data[,4]), c("red","green"))) %>%
  formatStyle(colnames(data)[5], backgroundColor = styleInterval(mean(data[,5]), c("red","green")))

I would like to replace the code above with the code below but that does not work. The code below will also work when the number of numeric columns changes.
datatable(
  data2, rownames = FALSE, class = 'cell-border stripe',
  options = list(
    dom = 't', pageLength = -1, lengthMenu = list(c(-1), c('All'))
  )
) %>%
  formatStyle(colnames(data2)[2:ncol(data2)], backgroundColor = styleInterval(colMeans(data2[,2:ncol(data2)]), c("red","green")))

Is this possible? So yes, how?

A: You can do it with addition calculation like
(Not work with same value in different column)
hepl_1=sapply(2:ncol(data2),function(i)  ifelse(data2[[i]]>=mean(data2[[i]]),"rgb(255,0,0)","rgb(0,255,0)"))
help_3=as.matrix(data2[2:ncol(data2)])

datatable(
  data2, rownames = FALSE, class = 'cell-border stripe',
  options = list(
    dom = 't', pageLength = -1, lengthMenu = list(c(-1), c('All'))
  )
) %>%
  formatStyle(colnames(data2)[2:ncol(data2)], backgroundColor = styleEqual(help_3, hepl_1))

Update
You can generate rowCallback like
datatable(
  data2, rownames = FALSE, class = 'cell-border stripe',
  options = list(
    dom = 't', pageLength = -1, lengthMenu = list(c(-1), c('All')),
    rowCallback=JS(paste0("function(row, data) {\n",
                          paste(sapply(2:ncol(data2),function(i) paste0("var value=data[",i-1,"]; if (value!==null) $(this.api().cell(row,",i-1,").node()).css({'background-color':value <=", mean(data2[[i]])," ? 'red' : 'green'});\n")
                          ),collapse = "\n"),"}" ))
  )
)
