Q: Is there any way to post multiple item's in one request? I'am developing a mobile web application Tasks (for iPhone) with a local database (using json files) so my app is still usable when the user is offline.
This is working perfectly, but I want to save the local data on a server. So I need to synchronize the local DB with a DB on a server (using REST(ful)way).
What I want to do is:
Collect all tasks and send to the server. At the moment I see two options to do this:
Send each task to the server: POST /tasks
I actually don't want to do this because I want to limit the number of requests to the server so option 2:
Collect all the tasks and send them to the server at once.
Is there any way to do this with (maybe with slimframework php) ?

A: I guess that you want to do some bulk updates on your RESTful application.
In fact, the method POST on the list resource /tasks is generally used to add an element but it can also be used to add more than one element. In such case, you need to support a parameter (something in a dedicated header) to determine which "action" to execute on the method POST.
A method PATCH can also be used for such use case. This is typically designed for this and can contain a list of operations to do for elements (add, delete, update).
I think that these two answers could give you some more hints:

*

*REST API - Bulk Create or Update in single request - REST API - Bulk Create or Update in single request

*How to Update a REST Resource Collection - How to Update a REST Resource Collection
Hope this helps you,
Thierry

Iconic Melbourne hotel unveils new look
Quality Hotel Batman's Hill on Collins has unveiled a modern new look across its standard hotel rooms.
The CBD-located property has transformed the design of all 85 of its standard rooms (across twin, queen and family sizes) following a $1.75million renovation project that was completed over six months.
The new rooms reveal a contemporary look that retains the hotel's historic charm and celebrates its central location.
The design features include a striking art-deco-inspired hanging light and wooden detailing in the bedroom and living space to evoke a modern and open feel, custom bedheads that are uniquely etched with a print of the hotel's façade and sophisticated black tapware that accentuate the bathroom fixtures.
The recently completed room refurbishments are the first stage of the hotel's renovation blueprint with further building upgrades planned to continue from mid 2020.
Kevin Birchall, general manager of Quality Hotel Batman's Hill on Collins, said: "Our team is very proud to reveal our modern, new-look standard rooms at Quality Hotel Batman's Hill on Collins.
"This exciting project demonstrates our commitment to providing our guests with quality, affordable accommodation in the heart of Melbourne, and we have options to suit everyone, whether you're staying with us for business or leisure".
Located at 623 Collins Street in Melbourne's CBD, the hotel is sited opposite Southern Cross Station and within walking distance of many of the city's most popular attractions.
The hotel is also steeped in history, with its entrance precinct being the original State Bank of Victoria building, and its distinguished heritage features still prevail.

Editor's Column – May 2010
At this amazing 20th anniversary of Access Press, I want to thank everyone for your patience with me back in […]
By Tim Benjamin
At this amazing 20th anniversary of Access Press, I want to thank everyone for your patience with me back in September of 2001 when I was elected as executive director.
It was a difficult transition for all of us; there just was no replacing Charlie Smith, who had lost his hard-fought struggle with throat cancer. Charlie said to me just a few days before his death, "Try it for six months, Tim. If you don't like it, close the doors but… I know you'll like it!" Charlie was right; I do like the job, the paper and the community I get to work with. Pretty much every morning, I wake up excited about what new adventures Access Press and the community will have for me. I wish there was more time in each day. There are no words that I can use to express my appreciation to all of you. And I'm thankful every day to Charlie Smith. He was a special person in so many ways, a true friend to me and to all of you, whether you knew him or not!
Secondly, I want to thank all who helped Charlie, the founder of this paper, especially his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. William Smith Jr. Also, I would like to thank all the board members who have served Access Press over its life as a 501(c)3; Steve Kuntz, Margot Cross, Bill Desert, Lolly Lijewski, Bridget Smith, Sue Warner, Mary Kay Kennedy and more recently JoAnn Cárdenas, Kelly Matter, Kay Wilshire, Brigid Alseth, Anita Schermer, Tom Squire and Mike Chevrette. Special thanks to Ellen Houghton, who has been the Access Press graphics and layout designer for the entire 20 years. She is still teaching me the business of getting a newspaper into print, as she taught Charlie.
Thanks to Jeff Nygaard, a real journalist and teacher who stuck with the paper for years after Charlie's death to make sure we would have solid footing to continue. I'm grateful to Donna McNamara, who was also there at the beginning to encourage me and help build our foundation support. I could go on for pages to thank properly all the editorial and support staff over the past nine years: Laurie Ekblad Anderson, Terri Ricci, Ekta Prakash, Bret Hesla, Jordan Selbo, Lance Hegland, Jane McClure, Dawn Frederick and so many fantastic unpaid volunteers. I truly appreciate all the people who, at the beginning, might have had doubts about having this non-journalist at the helm. They pushed me and taught me how to keep Access Press going.
They also taught me how to be a kinder, better person. Finally, thanks to all the writers and volunteer journalists who have contributed to making the paper even better: Nicole Roberts, Pete Feigal, Anne Henry, John Tschida, John Schatzlein, Joel Uland, Steve Larsen, Mike Gude, Luther Granquist, Justin Dart, Kevin Kling and cartoonist Scott Adams. I've surely omitted the names of some key contributors, but in the interests of space, let me just acknowledge that every day I think of so many others who have made Access Press a valued resource for all of us with or without a disability.
Thirdly, because we wouldn't have space for my words or anybody else's without the advertisers, join me in expressing deep thanks to all of the advertisers and financial supporters of Access Press over these last 20 years. I'd like to give a special nod to some of those advertisers that have been around for the long haul: Handi Medical Supplies supported the very first issue and has not missed one in 20 years. Thanks to Mary Benhardus and her family. Mary has the same entrepreneurial drive that Charlie did. I want to extend also a huge thanks to all the foundations that have seen the value in Access Press and supported us through the years. Medtronic was one of our first big foundation funders and continues to support us. We owe a lot to them and to the Medtronic Foundation, UCare Fund, Community Shares of Minnesota, Jay & Rose Phillips Family Foundation, Headwaters Foundation for Justice and the Otto Bremer Foundation.
I hope that in the near future you will give yourself an opportunity to read the timeline that we put together; it is incredible. The whole 20 years will be online by the time you read this and soon after, we will have each section linked to its full archived article. The sad part about much of this timeline is how repetitive it is: same issues, same struggles, different time, different characters. We fight the same battles but we do make progress by inches. It all becomes so clear when you go through the whole timeline.
Having reviewed those 20 years of history, I know how much we need to thank all the lobbyists and disability advocates who have stayed in there, year after year pushing on for the same cause, the same issues: independence for themselves, their sons, daughters, brothers and sisters with disabilities. Thanks for their voices at the capitol, on the streets, and for every conversation they have at shopping malls, in their neighborhood and parks, at grocery stores and theaters. Thanks to all the folks with disabilities who are out and about every day in the community, changing public perceptions of what a person with a disability needs and can do to make this a better place. The true reward will be in seeing what is to come. It can only get better.
One last thank you to Lynda, my wife, who has, more than anyone, supported me at every turn, every bump, every low and every high! Thank you, all! You are the Access Press community, and I'm proud to be a member.

Tesla readies for Made-in-China Model 3 launch
(Photo: Tesla)
By Joey Klender
Tesla's Chinese division recently released a new teaser for the Made-in-China Model 3, stating that the vehicle is "coming soon" to the largest automotive market in the world.
Tesla's Model 3 is set to be produced at volume rates of 3,000 units a week at the company's Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, China. This rate was announced by Global VP Grace Tao at the 2019 Shanghai City Promotion Conference. The goal of 12,000 Model 3 vehicles a month out of Gigafactory 3 is a much greater projection than what was seen as possible by Wall Street analysts. Adam Jonas of Morgan Stanley, for one, predicted around 1,100 vehicles produced a week in 2021.
Tesla China posted on social media:
"Made in China Model 3 is coming soon, stay tuned"$TSLA #Tesla #Model3 #MadeInChina pic.twitter.com/6ZswKRAPpf
— Vincent (@vincent13031925) November 6, 2019
The exact date of the Model 3 availability in China is not yet confirmed. However, local media outlets in China have reported the date will be November 11, making it available to Chinese customers 10 days before the Tesla Pickup Truck unveiling event in LA near the SpaceX Rocket Factory.
Recent flyovers of Gigafactory 3 show around two-dozen trial production Model 3s have been produced. While these are only trial production units, the company has shown they can successfully produce the vehicle at Gigafactory 3 before full manufacturing has begun. This bodes well for the Model 3, as the company based in Silicon Valley, California has high expectations for its most affordable vehicle in the country that houses its Gigafactory 3.
"China is by far the largest market for mid-sized premium sedans. With Model 3 priced on par with gasoline-powered mid-sized sedans (even before gas savings and other benefits), we believe China could become the biggest market for Model 3," Tesla said in the Q3 earnings call.
The Model 3 has been widely popular across the world. According to the Q3 Earnings Report, the Model 3 was the highest-selling vehicle for the company, making up 82% of its total sales in the third quarter worldwide.
Tesla's release of the Model 3 in China is a huge step for the electric car maker. China has the largest market for cars in the world, according to data aggregated by Nolasia. China overtook the United States in terms of vehicle volume, registering over 24.6 million cars purchased in 2015 alone, compared to the 17.2 million vehicles bought in the U.S. The country's electric car industry remains strong as well, as the government has injected $60 billion into the development of battery-powered cars since 2008.

'Karma Finds You Anywhere' – Ukraine Takes A Jibe At Russia As Belarusian Airbase Rocked With Explosions After Crimea
On August 11, mysterious explosions occurred at a military airbase in Belarus close to the Ukrainian border. The Russian Air Force allegedly uses this airport to attack Ukrainian territory.

A flash of light was visible over residential structures about 20 kilometers from the Zyabrouka airbase in a video that Belarusian media outlet Belaruski Hajun published on July 11.
The base is about 30 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Locals were reported as saying they felt a strong blast wave and saw at least eight flashes in the sky during the night.

— Українська правда ✌ (@ukrpravda_news) August 11, 2022
The Belarusian defense ministry quickly dismissed rumors that Ukraine had attacked the airbase. This occurs two days after massive explosions at a Crimean airfield where Russia is believed to have lost at least seven fighter jets, including three Su-30 and four Su-24 Fencers.
"On August 10, at around 23:00 (2000 GMT), during a test run, a piece of equipment that had its engine replaced caught fire," the Belarusian defense ministry said. The ministry further stated that there were no casualties and that the fire was put out "in a timely manner."
Mikhailo Podolyak, an advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, tweeted on Thursday (August 11), "the Russian military should consider the epidemic of technical accidents at military airfields in Crimea and Belarus as a warning: forget about Ukraine, take off your uniforms, and leave."
The epidemic of technical accidents at military airfields of Crimea and Belarus should be considered by 🇷🇺 military as a warning: forget about Ukraine, take off the uniform and leave. Neither in occupied Crimea nor in occupied Belarus will you feel safe. Karma finds you anywhere.
— Михайло Подоляк (@Podolyak_M) August 11, 2022
"Neither in occupied Crimea nor occupied Belarus will you feel safe. Karma finds you anywhere," he added. The incident follows a string of explosions at a crucial military airbase on the Russian-annexed Crimea peninsula.

Kyiv has made no public claims of responsibility for the attack. However, the Russian defense ministry said that the Saky base in Crimea was not attacked, blaming the explosions on a "violation of fire-safety requirements."
Zyabrauka Air Base
According to Ukrainian officials, the Russian Air Force has been operating out of the Zyabrauka base in Belarus throughout Moscow's ongoing, unprovoked conflict with Ukraine, which began in February.
Oleksiy Hromov, the deputy chief of the main directorate of the general staff of the Ukrainian armed forces, insisted on July 7 that Belarus had handed over the Zyabrovka airfield to the Russians.

On the same day, Belarusian Hajun reported that the government had extended the flight restriction zone for civil aviation for a further three months. That means the possibility of missile attacks from Belarus against Ukraine will remain for another three months.
The Belarusian military claimed in July that Russia had stationed Iskander-M and S-400 mobile missile systems at the airport in Belarus and was planning to use them to attack Ukraine. Defense analyst Kondar Muzyka recently posted satellite images on Twitter, showing a slight increase in military hardware at the airfield.
At the time, satellite images showed a division of ten units of S-400 "Triumph" anti-aircraft missile systems and two "Pantsir-S1" anti-aircraft systems on earthen embankments as illumination and guidance radars, and radars.
In addition, dug-in and camouflaged armored infantry vehicles and tanks were also displayed at the airfield. The experts then conclude from the photo that the location of the equipment has not changed significantly since April 2022. However, the S-400 increased by two units.

Meanwhile, a joint military training exercise between Russia and Belarus ended on August 11. The drill began on August 9 and aimed to train their air forces and missile defense.
The second phase of the exercises will take place on August 22–25 at the Ashuluk military training base in southwest Russia, close to the border with Kazakhstan, according to Belarusian authorities.
Alyaksandr Lukashenka, the leader of Belarus, has publicly backed Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Minsk permitted Russia's military to enter Ukraine and shell Ukrainian towns and cities even though Belarusian troops did not participate in the attack.
This year, the West imposed new sanctions on Belarus for participating in Russia's February 24 offensive in Ukraine. Russian forces entered Ukraine from several points, including from Belarusian land.
Alexander Lukashenko even leaned on Vladimir Putin to quell 2020 protests against his election to a sixth term. In the months leading up to Moscow's military operation, he welcomed Russian troops under the guise of military drills.

This is how you takeoff with a straight float seaplane if you are lacking water to takeoff from. Simply lineup a truck with a trailer along the centerline, then the driver of the truck starts speeding up, and as soon as the trailer starts rolling, the pilot of the seaplane adds power as well. As soon as the seaplane reaches takeoff speed, it lifts off, banks right, and flies off to its destination. Well done guys! You might ask, how did that seaplane land at that airport in the first place? Well, they landed on the grass next to the runway, most likely for maintenance, or have floats switched for wheels.

Entrepreneurship Program Prepares Inventors to Launch Start-Ups
University Supports Its Innovators Who Seek to Commercialize Life-Changing Inventions
By Bob Rose
As a young girl growing up in the outskirts of Bombay, India, Charvi Shetty has distinct memories of her mother and older brother struggling to breathe.
Beyond coping with the air pollution that sometimes blankets their homeland, both family members suffered from chronic asthma. Shetty's Filipino mother and Indian father wanted opportunities that India could not provide, so they immigrated to Petaluma, Calif., with their children when Shetty was 10 years old.
"My parents wanted my brother Rajiz and me to have a better life by receiving a college education in America," she said.
Her asthmatic mother and brother sparked Shetty's interest in biology during high school, which led to her majoring in bioengineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Upon graduating in 2012, Shetty enrolled at UC San Francisco where she pursued a master's degree in biomedical imaging.
Charvi Shetty has turned her invention into a startup company. She is the founder and CEO of Knox Medical Diagnostics.
Stephanie Marrus and Steve Blank have partnered to bring Lean LaunchPad to the life science and health care audience at UCSF.
During that time, she developed an affordable medical device that measures lung function and capacity, and detects early onset of asthma. An accompanying mobile app can assist hospitals, as well as parents and individuals, with tools that measure airways and response to medications.
Shetty's invention, which could significantly improve the quality of life for asthmatics, can benefit millions but only if the device can successfully go to market. And that's the rub for many aspiring UCSF students and recent graduates, whose expertise is in research or patient care, not the business world.
Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Shetty's story is not unusual, but there is hope for innovators like her. UCSF restarted its Entrepreneurship Center in March 2012. The program helps companies start from UCSF inventions and has built an entrepreneurial ecosystem at the University. UCSF's environment is unique, differing from other universities such as Berkeley, Harvard and Stanford because UCSF lacks a business school or a computer science program whose specialized expertise can help innovators build apps.
Stephanie Marrus, who holds an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, directs the Entrepreneurship Center. She has worked with hundreds of companies in science- and technology-based industries.
She recently partnered with tech entrepreneur Steve Blank, who has changed the paradigm of entrepreneurship education in the U.S. and last year was named one of the 30 most influential people in Tech by Forbes magazine. Marrus and Blank adapted his nationally respected course, Lean LaunchPad, to the life science and health care audience at UCSF.
Over the past three years, Marrus has recruited a network of 200 mentors and advisors with backgrounds as life sciences CEOs, investors, attorneys, and consultants from Silicon Valley's entrepreneurial ecosystem to advise students in the courses and UCSF entrepreneurs outside the classroom.
Meaningful Mentorship
The Entrepreneurship Center provides training on start-up businesses, hosts top-tier speakers from the business world, organizes a support group for serious UCSF entrepreneurs, and holds events open to UCSF, Berkeley, Stanford, start-up accelerators and the business community.
"What I really learned from the class was that the greatest innovation isn't necessarily the product," Shetty said. "It's the novel and innovative business model."
As part of her participation in the Lean LaunchPad program, Shetty spoke to numerous people with asthma. She was also paired with an experienced venture capitalist as her mentor—a physician who has founded several companies.
"We tested a whole bunch of hypotheses," Shetty added. "Was there a real need for kids? Was there a real need by doctors? Will individuals pay for the product or will they need to be reimbursed?"
Her efforts have been supported by an international company-building program called Founder.org, which helped to advance her fledgling company, Knox Medical. She competed with teams from 24 schools in the U.S. and Europe and was selected from approximately 1,000 applicants.
Last fall the National Institutes of Health piloted the Lean LaunchPad class based on the UCSF model to help aspiring life science entrepreneurs commercialize their technology. UCSF is continuing to teach the course on its campus and is extending its reach to the other UC biomedical campuses this June, including UCLA, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, and UC Davis.
"We are excited that Lean LaunchPad in the life science/health care domain is becoming recognized as the model for training scientific and clinical entrepreneurs," Marrus said. "We believe that this market-based approach to vetting start-up ideas can make the difference between success and failure."
The program could not come at a better time for UCSF, which is increasing its dedication to entrepreneurship in line with the UC president's priorities.
Hobart Harris, MD, who has served as chief of general surgery at UCSF for the past 13 years, believes the Lean LaunchPad program is indispensable. Harris, a Harvard graduate who founded Vitruvian Medical Devices in 2012, saw first-hand how novice entrepreneurs can fall victim to faulty logic.

Ernesto Diaz Flores' use of a wheelchair while recovering from a broken foot led to an idea that eventually became a startup company that helps wheelchair-bound people both sit and stand, and stably ride in both positions.
"I had fallen prey to a very common assumption that I think naïve or inexperienced entrepreneurs suffer and that is thinking that if your idea works, then all the additional steps required to bring your idea to the marketplace will just fall into place, like a row of dominoes," Harris said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. When I attended the Lean LaunchPad course, through the interview process we saw our ideas kind of turned on their head in respect to both pricing and what would be the required information that would compel users to buy our product."
The Flint, Mich., native soon discovered that obtaining the regulatory approval for his product would cost more than $75 million and take four to five years. That realization led him to change the nature of the device and the patient population he would first look to serve.
"It probably would have been years before we ultimately realized we were taking the inappropriate path or approach," Harris added. "I can say this: There have been two or three courses in my entire education that have genuinely changed the way I think, and this course is one of those."
Innovation Through Adversity
Ernesto Diaz Flores, PhD, an assistant adjunct professor at UCSF and founder of Challenging Solutions, is another passionate advocate of the Lean LaunchPad program.
Born in El Salvador, his family moved to Spain when he was 10 years old. Since his childhood, Diaz Flores gravitated to athletics and displayed remarkable footwork as a competitive tennis player and also as a flamenco dancer. He was also an outstanding scholar, eventually earning a BS degree in biochemistry at University Complutense of Madrid—and finishing in the top five in his class—and then obtaining a PhD at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid in molecular biology with honors.
Yet, it was when he was derailed as a tennis player and dancer that his professional career began to take shape.
"When I was doing my PhD work, I broke my left foot," Diaz Flores recalled. "I tried to go to work on a cast and crutches but after getting to work, I realized I couldn't use my hands very much because of the crutches."
His only option to stay productive was to use a wheelchair.
"I soon realized how people with low or no mobility from the waist down get disabled by the chair itself," he said. "You cannot stand or reach high or be at eye level with your friends, even when you have partial or full mobility in the upper body."
He hoped someone would eventually address this limiting feature, but as the years went by nobody did.
"People were still locked in one position in wheelchairs, so I decided to work on a device and bring it to fruition," Diaz Flores said. "That's how the idea was born."
He designed and developed an innovative mobility device that allowed wheelchair-bound people to both sit and stand, and stably ride in both positions at adjustable speeds. His invention is also a hybrid in that a client can operate it in manual mode, which helps with exercising, or in automatic, which facilitates transportation. The device, which has a cutting-edge appearance, also is compact and lighter than the conventional wheelchair, allowing entry to non-accessible places like some restrooms and through narrow doors.
"When I started this venture, I had no entrepreneurial background so I took courses from the Entrepreneurship Center at UCSF," Diaz Flores said. "That was an eye-opening experience into a world that was completely foreign to me. It helped me get acquainted with the different financial process, lingo and things that I needed to put in place to have a successful venture."
After much time and effort, including seeking customer feedback on design and physical needs, Diaz Flores has established his team members and now the company is incorporated. He reports that the venture is close to having its first functional prototype and will start to test it.
Meanwhile, he continues to take courses and attend lectures organized by the Entrepreneurship Center and meets regularly with Marrus to seek her input and advice.
These anecdotes reflect how vital this program has been to not only Diaz Flores but also hundreds of other inventors who are fast establishing UCSF as one of the leading entrepreneurial universities in life sciences and health care.
"The mere fact that such a center exists here at UCSF serves as demonstration of the University's investment in the futures of its trainees," said Nima Emami, a current PhD student studying bioinformatics in the Graduate Division. "It was a major factor in my decision to pursue my PhD at UCSF over several other top research universities in my field."

If you have kids who play sports then you probably have witnessed this a lot. Parents lining along the sideline trying to coach their kids in the disguise of cheering for the team.
I'm a parent so I kind of get it. You want your kid to be the one to score the goal or the winning basket. The coach they have just isn't quite seeing things the way you like and your kid isn't paying attention to the coach.
Your kid will recognize your voice. You are the only one that can get through to your kid.
So you yell out where to go. Who to guard. What to do next in the possession.
Let me clue you in. It very rarely helps.
Your kid is playing a game where you have to react quickly. Not only does the kid have to listen to the coach yelling, but now he/she has to listen to you too?
That split second turning their head in your direction will result in someone blowing past him/her and them scoring on your kid. Your yelling instructions at your athlete is actually stunting their athletic development.
They need to develop the reaction part of the game by not having you yell where to go every 5 seconds. This also delays their athletic intellect towards the game.
Their actual coaches sometimes are not that much better. A coach that yells out everything that is happening while it is happening gets tuned out by the kids real quick. The coach thinks he/she is doing a great job coaching them up, but that is not the case.
You have to let kids figure things out as a coach and the coach yelling with the parent yelling all the time doesn't allow that to develop.
The absolute best thing for the kids would be to play pick-up games of their sport. But, in this day and age of travel sports, that won't happen. To get better you have to pay money for travel sports and immediately go into pressure filled games and tournaments (this is sarcastic by the way).
When I say pressure, I mean it is pressure-filled for the parents not so much the kids. The parents think their team needs to win everything or else they won't be able to justify all the money being spent on these club sports.
What ultimately happens is the athlete has the parent yelling from the sideline, the coach yelling from the bench, and the kids just breaks down. I saw it happen recently.
We got to let these kids figure it out.
Parents, trust the coaches (even if you don't trust the coaches). Cheer the kids on in a positive manner, but don't be a sideline coach. Don't try to tell them where you think (key word is think) they need to be at every point in the game. Sometimes that conflicts with the coach's strategy and then the athlete is really clueless.
They will figure it out and they will look better playing the game. You just have to be patient.


Description: L. clavigera may grow to 20mm in length. It is white with yellow-orange tipped processes around its body. The processes at the front have rough surfaces and are held horizontally. Those at the sides of the body are smooth and are normally curved upwards over the dorsum. There are slightly raised orange spots on the animal's back. The rhinophores are lamellate and they are also tipped with yellow pigment.
Habitat: A common species which feeds preferentially on the bryozoan Electra pilosa usually on red algae in the shallow sublittoral. Individuals may also be found feeding on other bryozoa beneath rocks in the intertidal and on bryozoan encrusted stones in tide races.
Distribution: This species is distributed all around the British Isles and from Norway to the Mediterranean and along the North African coast.
Long, orange tipped processes all around the edge of the mantle.
Three small gills and orange tubercles on the back.

Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-New York) announced she may have a presumed case of Covid-19, which could put many other members of Congress at risk, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Velázquez said in a statement on Monday that she reached out to the House attending physician on Sunday after feeling "the abrupt onset of muscle aches, fevers, nasal congestion and stomach upset," all symptoms other positive coronavirus victims have reported. She had also lost her sense of smell and taste.
After hearing the congresswoman's symptoms, the physician diagnosed her with a "presumed coronavirus infection." She is now self-isolating at home and taking Tylenol, but she claims her symptoms are "mild." She was told a coronavirus test and a doctor visit were not necessary at this point.
I have been diagnosed with presumed coronavirus infection. My symptoms are mild. I am isolating myself at my home and following the guidance of the Office of Attending Physician. My full statement is below. pic.twitter.com/9TgPXoy9dN
— Rep. Nydia Velazquez (@NydiaVelazquez) March 30, 2020
Velázquez's case is complicated by the fact that she was on the House floor on Friday to vote on the $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill.

House officials have been following new guidelines to prevent the spread of the coronavirus amongst themselves. This includes sitting one seat apart, as well as microphones and surfaces being wiped down after each use.
Four members of House have tested positive for the coronavirus so far: Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Florida), Ben McAdams (D-Utah), Joe Cunningham (D-South Carolina) and Mike Kelly (R-Pennsylvania).
Congress and the Senate are currently in recess until April 20, though lawmakers could be called back to vote on a new coronavirus relief bill. Though remote voting has been floated as a possibility, Pelosi has said multiple times that House members are "not prepared" for it.

Western Challenge
The Presbyterian Church in Canada's Mission on the Prairies and North, 1885-1925
Bush, Peter
Between 1885 and 1925 the Presbyterian Church in Canada grew to become the largest church on the Prairies. Western Challenge documents that rise. Exploring the church's mission to the British settlers as well as its mission to the Native peoples and the non-Anglo-Saxon immigrants, this study examines how the church transformed itself and its ministry models to meet the challenges of the rapidly growing rural and urban populations of the Prairies. Special attention is paid to the church's experience in the Klondike and Near North prior to 1925. Western Challenge concludes by suggesting that the present-day Presbyterian Church is the true heir of this mission vision.

Kingston 11 Jamaican Restaurant Jerk Chicken Uptown Oakland | Tasting Table San Francisco
Kingston 11 cooks Jamaican chicken the right way
By Jonathan Kauffman/Dec. 10, 2013 12:46 pm EST
Kingston 11's best dish has been a long time coming.
Nigel Jones and Adrian Henderson's new Oakland restaurant began as Sunday night dinner. Friend told friend, and soon the two were hosting a weekly potluck. "It became a forum for food and politics," Henderson says.
One guest, who runs Guerrilla Cafe, offered to host a weekly Caribbean-Californian pop-up. Word spread, and after three years of solid business, the pop-up went perm.
Henderson runs the front of the house, his community-justice background channeled into potent charm. Jones, who grew up in Jamaica, makes a mean jerk chicken ($14).
Marinated for 48 hours in allspice, cloves, thyme, Scotch bonnet peppers and a few other seasonings, the chicken is roasted just until it's juicy and finished off with a few minutes in the smoker. Its flavor is both brassy and deep, and the chile burn hangs out for a while.
Don't turn to the rice and red beans served on the side for relief: Cooked with coconut milk and a visible amount of spice, they have their own peppery swagger.
The house-made ginger beer ($4), which has the power to clear sinuses, dissipates the heat, giving you time to catch your breath before diving back in.


The Great Recession, and the slow and painful recovery, hurt the finances of Social Security Disability Insurance — but not mainly by swelling benefit payments.
Instead, the main damage was on the income side, in the form of lower tax revenues and less interest.
As the Social Security actuaries have noted, the projections in the 2008 Trustees' report — published in April of that year — didn't anticipate the financial crash and the deep recession. (Neither did other projections around that time.) Comparing those 2008 projections with the actual outcomes roughly measures the recession's effect. As the chart below shows, DI income in 2014 fell more than 20 percent below the Trustees' projection, whereas DI spending — after being briefly higher — was slightly lower than projected.
Lower tax revenues. Most of DI's income comes from its 0.9 percentage-point share of Social Security's 6.2 percent tax on wages, salaries, and self-employment income, which employees and employers each pay. As the recession battered employment and earnings, Social Security's taxable payroll fell far short of the 2008 projections. A quirk in the law governing automatic adjustments amplified the gap: when there's no cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), the Social Security taxable maximum is frozen. Over the 2008-2014 period, the tax shortfall exceeded $115 billion, or more than 75 percent of the decline in the projected trust fund balance.
Lower interest income. Interest on the trust fund's holdings of Treasury securities is a smaller, but significant, source of income. Both the size of the trust fund and the level of interest rates fell below pre-recession forecasts. Over the 2008-2014 span, interest income fell nearly $25 billion short of projections, more than 15 percent of the deterioration in the trust fund's balance.
Temporarily higher spending. The recession boosted the number of DI beneficiaries; by the end of 2014, the number of disabled-worker beneficiaries was 350,000 (or 4 percent) higher than the Trustees projected back in 2008. (The impact of recessions on DI beneficiaries is often overstated. High unemployment typically causes applications to soar, but awards rise more modestly.) Of course, more beneficiaries mean greater spending. But by 2014, DI spending actually fell below pre-recession predictions. That's because — after a spike in gasoline prices in summer 2008 caused an unexpectedly large 5.8 percent COLA in January 2009 — subsequent COLAs came in well below the 2008 forecast. It's also because stagnant wages — which influence the average dollar size of new awards — likewise drove down outlays. Over the entire 2008-2014 period, DI spending was $12 billion higher than the 2008 projections (less than 10 percent of the trust fund's deterioration) — and by 2014, spending was lower than the Trustees had predicted.
In short, the DI trust fund is in poorer shape than experts expected before the Great Recession —though that follows a long period when it performed much better than forecast. As a result, the fund must be replenished in 2016 — exactly as projected when lawmakers last reallocated taxes in 1994. The financial deterioration doesn't indicate a "failing" or "unsustainable" program.

So my blogger pass to the Web Summit (#WebSummit2014) arrived in that new fangled electronic email today.
I don't know much about the internet, or "web," as some people call it, and I have a terrible suspicion it might all be a fad.
Nevertheless, I'll be there to see what all these young whippersnappers are doing with their "mice" and "HTML" and whatnots.
The Web Summit kept it lean, as always, in obtaining a new mascot. They held a competition which was won by Maggie Tan in Malaysia.
The Food Summit was a new addition last year. That returns along with new arrivals the Film Summit and the Music Summit.
I'll be there with my purple blogger pass and my name should have me listed as Founder, CEO, Editor & Publisher of Interglobal Media News Publishing Corp.
It's more aspirational than actual at this point.

So the Knicks did it again on Wednesday night, winning at the buzzer on David Lee's tip-in of Jamal Crawford's inbounds pass in a rather improbable double-overtime ending. It's that time of year in which the Knicks have historically had a lot of success winning games in this fashion. For most, it brought back memories of one particular game, though for our purposes, we'll reference three such contests. The first is the obvious one, the Knicks victory over the Bulls on January 15, 1990, when Trent Tucker took an inbounds pass with 0.1 seconds remaining and flipped in a 3-pointer at the buzzer for the win. The laws of mathematics, as well as common sense dictate this kind of play to be an impossibility, but the NBA was not prepared for this kind of dispute in it's first season using tenths-of-a-second to measure the final minute. The basket led to the creation of what's known as the "Tucker Rule" which states that the only way that you can score in suc
Isiah It Ain't So
It feels the slightest bit appropos, on a night in which there is Knickerbocker jubilation (James Dolan is said to be dancing in the streets) thanks to a walk-off buzzer beating finger roll by Stephon Marbury over Jazz center Mehmut Okur (translation of which is "My Ogre"), that we find some sort of Mets tie in. Wouldn'tcha know, I found one? I suppose it would make sense to use this space to find a Metsian equivalent to this Knicks victory, but I choose not to write about the 26 instances in which the Flushing 9 went from a 1-run deficit to a 1-run win on one swing of the bat, or the subset of 16 occurrences in which they accomplished that down to the final out (closest thing to a clock winding down we've got). One of the reasons for that is because I've already penned essays on nearly all of them already. It would also seem logical for me to use this space at some point for one of my rant-and-rave sessions about the Knicks president/general manager/coach/water


What happened to the Anna Griffin Toner Paint & Toner Pens? Did they sell out? If so, when are they coming back in stock?
Is it true you have to use a laser printer if you want your own images used on Anna's Minc machine? I asked my husband to look into it for me and wow he found a log of negatives, 1 being either use her images or you must have a laser printer. Is this true?
It was never added to HSN. Anna said on her facebook page that they had a problem with it getting through QA-Quality Assurance I guess. Hopefully it will be up by November!
Hi there ! Just to make sure we get the right info for you, did you mean the Anna Griffin Minc machine toner and pen?
Hi PRGypsy, I've sent a message to the Buyer on the next availability of the Toner Paint & Toner Pens. I'll post back with any information.


This was built primarily for gaming. The GPU is a bit overpowered compared to the CPU, but I got a good deal on it (Ebay $237 used). Everything is working well following a few driver updates.
Great price. I paired it with a GTX 1070 which I though would create a bottleneck, but it seems to be working just fine. It scored a cinebench rating of 545. Using the stock cooler thermals under load are running about 50 C.
If it was just the board this would be rated higher, but since this board comes with built in RGB I'm adding the required Gigabyte software into this. The board itself works fine. All parts are cooperating and the chips sets are staying cool. The RGB looks nice, but so far I've only been able to change it in the bios. Gigabyte does offer software called RGB fusion to control this without having to go to the bios, but loading it was such a pain I gave up. You first have to load the Gigabyte app center which keep showing a driver error at boot up and would not load any updates when I clicked on the live update button. I googled it and there are solutions, but it seemed like more work then just using the bios. I'm not going to change the color that often and did not add any other compatible RGB to the system to make it worth the effort.
It's some of the cheapest RAM you can find, but it is working just fine. It also matches my black mobo nicely.
Great price and a fast boot up. Exactly what I was looking for in a SSD.
Looks great and works great. Running on ultra settings with no difficulty. Thermals under load at 65 C. I also like the EVGA Precision XOC software to change the RGB settings. It is very user friendly. Note: I purchased this used.
Looks great and it is nice that they included 2 fans with the case. The only feature I wish this had is a power supply shroud.
Looks great with the other 2 white fans that came with my case. Good price. i can hear it, but it is not so loud it bothers me.
That is a good deal on that 1070. Nice build! You can easily swap that 2200G out for something more powerful when you feel the need.


LAWRENCE — His characters have traveled the galaxies. He has traversed the globe, creating, studying and promoting science fiction. Now, at age 94, the dean of sci-fi authors, University of Kansas English Professor Emeritus James Gunn, has written a memoir detailing his long life in letters.
"Star-Begotten: A Life Lived in Science Fiction" (McFarland, 2017) contains Gunn's reflections on a career that spans from science fiction's Golden Age to the present. The genre's biggest names – Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke – are all there because they were Gunn's peers and colleagues.
Gunn recalls hearing Wells speak in 1937, when the father of sci-fi came through Gunn's hometown, Kansas City, Missouri, on a lecture tour.
Gunn has certainly had a noteworthy career in sci-fi, starting in the pulp-fiction era, publishing short stories in such magazines as Astounding Science Fiction, Thrilling Wonder Stories and Galaxy Science Fiction. He went on to write 28 novels, starting in 1955 with "Star Bridge" (with Jack Williamson, for Gnome Press) and continuing through 2017 with the finale of his trilogy: "Transcendental," "Transgalactic" and "Transformation" (Tor).
As if that weren't enough, Gunn maintained a career as an academic, teaching science fiction at KU starting in 1969. In 1982, the Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction was established at the university, hosting the annual Campbell Conference, giving out awards and otherwise serving as the genre's home at KU. This year's Campbell Conference was dedicated to Gunn's work, and former students and editors participated.
Then there has been Gunn's nonfiction work, perhaps most notably his 1975 "Alternate Worlds: The Illustrated History of Science Fiction" (Prentice Hall). He won a Hugo Award for his 1982 work "Isaac Asimov: The Foundations of Science Fiction" (Oxford University Press). And this century he edited a six-volume series titled "The Road to Science Fiction" (Signet), collecting milestone works in the genre.
Nor has his output ceased. In addition to Gunn's memoir, McFarland will also publish his 1951 thesis, "Modern Science Fiction: A Critical Analysis" (after 67 years), and a revised and updated edition of "Alternate Worlds" that Gunn is working on presently.
In 2007, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America named Gunn a Damon Knight Grand Master for lifetime achievement, and in 2015 he was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. He was the guest of honor at the World Science Fiction Convention in 2013.
Gunn has traveled the world, spreading the gospel of science fiction, too. He visited the former Soviet Union, Iceland, Romania, Singapore, Taiwan and elsewhere as part of Cold War-era cultural-exchange efforts sponsored by the United States Information Agency.
It's all been part of the ethos Gunn refers to as "Saving the World Through Science Fiction," which is the title of Michael Page's 2017 biography of him, also from McFarland. It means imagining new possibilities of being, preparing mankind to face the future.
Despite the volume of work he has produced, Gunn said he has never found writing to be easy.
"I have often made the point that writing is really hard work," he said. "Lots of times I've sat in front of my typewriter or computer and felt really I'd rather be out mowing the lawn, doing manual labor, than trying to wrench ideas out of my head.
"But there is also the feeling that sitting there and turning concepts into language that is suitable is what I was cut out to do. I've told people that I feel I earn my place here on Earth each day when I am able to create something that wasn't there before, and, in turn, some of these things enter stories that influence people.
James Gunn will autograph copies of "Star-Begotten" at a launch event sponsored by the Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1, at the Jayhawk Ink bookstore in the Kansas Union.
