Apply to be an Ernest Houston Johnson scholar.
The Ernest Houston Johnson Scholars Program, formerly known as Partners for Academic Excellence, is a two-quarter program for freshmen focused on building a community of scholars. Students benefit from intimate interaction with world-class faculty; exposure to fellowships, internships and scholarships; and opportunities to network with prominent alumni.
All Johnson Scholars are assigned to a mentorship team consisting of a Ph.D. or professional school student, an upperclassman, and a member of our Board of Directors. Participants are also connected with other freshmen that have similar academic interests. The goal of each mentorship team is to encourage intellectual exploration that will ensure academic success.
This program honors Ernest Houston Johnson, the first Black graduate of Stanford University in the pioneer class of 1891. The program captures his legacy of breaking the mold through the pursuit of higher education. Not only do our scholars follow in the footsteps of Johnson but also other notable alumni such as Charles Ogletree, '74 and '75, a Harvard Law professor; Mae Jemison, '75, the first African American woman to travel into space; Selena Cuffe, '99, a noted entrepreneur who is featured on the August 2009 cover of Black Enterprise magazine; and Nadiya Figueroa, '04, a Rhodes Scholar and former student body president. These alums represent the broad array of career paths and academic interests that were cultivated and encouraged at Stanford. As a member of the Johnson Scholars Program, students will be joining a network of intellectuals that have played an integral role in shaping our Black community, the Stanford community, the nation and the world.
Who was Ernest Houston Johnson?
Ernest Johnson was born the youngest of four in 1871, just outside of Roseville, California. Johnson's father, Beverly, had only a third-grade education and wished nothing similar for his children. Although he lacked formal education, he was an intellectual and entrepreneur. He owned a catering business and studied Shakespeare in his spare time, a hobby he acquired while working valet for Union Soldiers during the Civil War. When Johnson became of school age, his father enrolled him in an all-white grammar school, a school that had previously turned away Johnson's older sister. Due to Beverly's persistence, Ernest Johnson would graduate from high school in 1891.
Through his catering business and his earlier work with the Central Pacific Railroad, Beverly, Ernest Johnson's father, knew Leland and Jane Stanford. Dreaming of a bigger future, Ernest applied to two colleges, University of California—Berkeley and Stanford. Johnson soon received Berkeley's letter of acceptance but heard nothing from Stanford. Accounts vary as to how Jane Stanford learned of Ernest Johnson's situation. However, Jane Stanford, from a family of abolitionists, contacted the University President David Starr Jordan about the matter. Soon after, Ernest Johnson received his acceptance.
Despite challenging times, Johnson was amicable and popular among his Stanford classmates. He participated in several extracurricular activities including playing for Stanford's football team and working as a printer's apprentice. He graduated with a bachelor's in economics with the pioneer class of 1895 and attended the Stanford Law School but never received a degree. A few years later, he contracted tuberculosis. Doctors prescribed "sunshine and fresh air" but biking his way back to health only worsened his condition. On February 17, 1898, he was buried with his Stanford diploma.
In 2003, an alum notified the Black Community Services Center (BCSC) that Ernest Houston Johnson did not have a headstone for his grave. The center responded immediately and bought a headstone in honor of Johnson's legacy. On April 17, 2004 in Sacramento, California, a formal dedication to unveil Johnson's headstone was attended by the descendents of Johnson's sister, representatives from the BCSC, the pastor of the church Johnson's family attended and Sacramento cemetery historians.

The Black Community Services Center is proud to be part of Student Affairs, which educates students to make meaningful contributions as citizens of a complex world.

Anupama Parameswaran Sings a Song From Shatamanam Bhavati ..
Actress Anupama Parameswaran has mesmerized the viewers by singing a song taken from her latest movie 'Shatamanam Bhavati' during a live TV channel show. On the other hand, actor Sharwanand jokingly said, if he continues singing, people will switch off the TV. The actress reacting to Sharwanand, said he is a good singer and sings well. The movie 'Shatamanam Bhavati' was released during Sankranthi and competing with two giants Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna at box-office, and it has been successful in attracting and pulling the audiences to the theaters.


you had better start doing it yesterday.
The traditional banking system was already bad enough but now, with banks around the world rushing to comply with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) it is beginning to reach extreme levels. And it isn't just affecting the most financially restricted people on Earth: US citizens… it is affecting everyone.
Take myself for example (TDV Editor-in-Chief, Jeff Berwick) I operate numerous businesses worldwide. I am a Canadian citizen as well as the citizen of a Caribbean country and our business operations are also operated out of a non-tax jurisdiction in the Caribbean. On top of that we hold no bank accounts, whatsoever, in the US… instead, we have bank accounts all over the world.
Yet, in the last two months we have had our accounts or transactions frozen, denied or questioned in different jurisdictions at least ten times. And we have had countless other problems over the last two years.
We received a FATCA notice from one of our banks in Eastern Europe. They told us that we must comply and contact them immediately. We contacted them and let them know that the company is not a US company and no US citizen is involved with the company nor the bank account. They told us that one of the phone numbers they had on file for us was a US number and therefore they'd have to close our account. We informed them that the number they had was a virtual Skype number, one of many we have, that forwarded to the property departments in our companies around the world. We are still dealing with this issue.
At the same Eastern European bank a few weeks ago they demanded to see detailed contracts and information on a large number of our transactions. We are still also dealing with that.
At one of our bank accounts in Canada with which I have had a 20 year relationship in good standing they have blocked numerous of our recent wires and demanded to see information on who the money is going to and why. In more than one instance, when sending funds to the Middle East, we were informed that any and all wires sent to the Middle East were under heavy scrutiny causing us numerous problems.
Paypal has frozen many of our numerous Paypal accounts that we have worldwide on an ongoing basis. This shouldn't come as news to any merchants who use Paypal as the company is notorious for constantly freezing funds and accounts for all manner of reasons. In one instance, as part of operations in our hotel in Acapulco (Las Torres Gemelas Private Suites) they froze our account until we could show them proof of numerous very small denomination transfers. The transactions were for room rentals that had occurred weeks or months prior and Paypal would demand that we show proof that the person had stayed with us and approved the transaction. Often these were past guests who had just booked for a few nights, who we had no other relation with, that we would have to somehow try to contact afterwards and bother them to supply Paypal with their information and approval of the transaction!
In another instance, just a few weeks ago, another Paypal account we had was frozen after we paid for a flight from Havana, Cuba (ironically I had just stopped there for one night because I wanted to avoid the pain and risk of flying through the US) via Paypal because it was nearly impossible to purchase a flight to or from Cuba by any other means. Because we denoted the payment done was for a flight from "Havana" the account was frozen. The total dollar amount was for just a few hundred dollars.
Last year, a brokerage account I use in Luxembourg threatened to close my account. When I asked why they said that the brokerage had recently been bought by a Canadian brokerage and there is a Canadian law that says that no Canadian can deal with a brokerage owned by a Canadian company outside of Canada. Luckily they accepted my Caribbean residency and therefore let the account remain open. US citizens are not so lucky. The SEC has made it so hardly any brokerage outside of the US will accept US citizens effectively locking their accounts inside the US as a capital control.

For Immediate Release: March 2, 2016
Driver charged in fatal accident
A Linden man has been charged in connection with an alcohol-related fatal accident that took place last December, acting Union County Prosecutor Grace H. Park announced Wednesday.
Antonio Rodriguez, 46, is charged with a single count of second-degree death by auto for causing the wreck that killed 51-year-old Carlos Arce of Elizabeth.
It was approximately 4:15 p.m. on Sunday, December 13, 2015 when Rodriguez was traveling east on East Elizabeth Avenue in Linden, according to Union County Assistant Prosecutor Scott Peterson, who is prosecuting the case. Rodriguez then made a left-hand turn onto McKinley Avenue, cutting off Arce, who was operating a motorcycle, Peterson said.
Arce attempted to avoid a collision, but became separated from his vehicle and slid into the rear of Rodriguez's vehicle, according to Peterson. He was subsequently pronounced dead.
An investigation involving the Union County Homicide Task Force and the Linden Police Department determined that Rodriguez had a blood-alcohol level of slightly more than twice the legal limit at the time of the accident.
Bail for Rodriguez was set at $75,000, and he was ordered to surrender his passport.
Convictions on second-degree crimes are commonly punishable by 5 to 10 years in state prison.
These criminal charges are mere accusations. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

[FM 2020] All Ireland League
By Sophomore,

Sophomore 19
DISCLAIMER: This database has no political motives.
To celebrate this very strange St. Patricks Day I created an All Ireland database for Football Manager 2020.
Previously made one for FM17, but decided to make a new one for this edition of FM given the recent discussion about such a league in real life.
All the existing leagues on the island of Ireland are deleted and replaced by a Irish Premier League (18), Irish Championship (18), Irish League One (18) and Irish League Two (18).
There also is an Irish Cup (with over +500 teams participating) and a Irish Super Cup at the start of the season.
Media outlets are added and this update also includes awards.
The national team of Northern Ireland is replaced by Greenland (you can find graphics for this country over here).
All the players with Northern Ireland as football nationality are set to the Republic and by doing so an All Ireland national team is recreated.
I did a couple of test up to 2040 and everything seems to work fine, but feedback is still more than welcome.
There are a couple of minor issues though:
- Each season there are a couple of regens from Greenland playing at Irish teams
- It's not possible to select Scotland because of problems with the Challenge Cup

I will take a look if I can see anything to fix your Greenland problem.
Have also bolded your disclaimer to make sure people see it. Just to be on the safe side
Just changed the nationality of 150 regens from Greenland playing in Ireland to Irish by hand with the ingame Editor in my (test)game.
Edited March 18, 2020 by Sophomore
I think I know what your problem is. And unfortunately it can't be fixed.
Your issue can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_eligibility_rules#Northern_Ireland
This will cause the situation of Northern Irish (read: Greenlandish) players having a dual nationality being both Irish and Greenlandish. The settings for dual nationality are not editable for us.
If I knew I would tell you, because it is something high on my wish list to be able to edit.
Also, Groenland is in the English translation. You just told me you support Oranje, of niet?
Thanks for your help! @Wolf_pd
Yes mate, al ben ik voor de Rood-Witten en niet voor de Blauw-Witten.
This real life proposal is very interesting to say the least. My format is a little bit less complicated though.
Glentoran and Larne are spending money like it's going out of fashion, just like it's the case in the real world.
Glentoran: €325.000 (2019), €2.800.000 (2020), €1.600.000 (2021), €700.000 (2022), €775.000 (2023)
Larne: €0 (2019), €200.000 (2020), €675.000 (2021), €1.200.000 (2022), €1.800.000 (2023)
Think the 2.8 million in 2020 by Glentoran is not realistic, but you never know with the amount of money they got right now in the real world.

There are some positive reactions from clubs (Derry City and Crusaders for example) but the IFA rejected these plans (like they ever gave a sh*t about what the clubs want).

I was looking at doing a League of Ireland save and have been reading a little about all of this, i think i like the idea of keeping the 2 leagues and maybe having a play off system at the end either top 1 of each or top two in a semi, would definitely add more spice to put the two leagues together though.
I started a save with Cork and was quickly brought down to earth, £0 no sellable assets and 400 pound p/w for wages, strikers who can't finish a sentence . There is something really good about having league 2/conference standard players and trying to just win a game or two in europe, you are never on auto pilot

So much for that peaceful transition. After weeks of magnanimity and biting tongues, the White House and Donald Trump's transition team are saying a mouthful over allegations Russia helped Trump win the presidency. And it's getting nasty.
The democratically mandated partners exchanged blows on Thursday, a day after the Obama administration's top spokesman suggested the president-elect was fully aware that Russia was meddling in the U.S. presidential election in an effort that simultaneously helped his campaign while hurting the chances of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest ramped up his rhetoric on Thursday, vigorously defending his earlier comments as fact and more forcefully asserting that Trump, indeed, knew of Russia's interference.
"Mr. Trump obviously knew that Russia was engaged in malicious cyber activity that was helping him and hurting Secretary Clinton's campaign," Earnest told reporters.
Josh Earnest talks about the 2016 election on Wednesday.
For his part, Trump continued to cast doubt about the intelligence community's consensus that Russia meddled in the election to erode confidence in American democracy.
"If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?" Trump tweeted on Thursday, continuing his run as the only major American political figure to deny Russia's involvement.
In a joint response from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Oct. 7, the Obama administration officials formally identified Russia as the culprit behind the hack on Democratic institutions, including the Democratic National Committee.
During their final presidential debate shortly after the government disclosure, Clinton challenged Trump to "admit and condemn" the Russian hacks "and make clear that he will not have the help of Putin in this election." And the former secretary of state pressed him to admit that he "encouraged espionage" at his last news conference in July, when he invited Russia to find Clinton's missing emails.
Trump has said his remark was sarcastic, but Earnest contended that no one else outside of Trump's team found that so-called joke funny.
"There's only been one person who's tried to joke about this. Unfortunately, that person is the president-elect of the United States. This is an extraordinarily serious matter," Earnest said Thursday.
Earnest pointed to President Barack Obama and his administration's almost immediate efforts for a smooth, peaceful transition of power since Trump's improbable victory to refute those charges.
But if Trump's team wants to deal with that, he advised, they should start answering questions. Trump had said previously that he would hold a news conference on Thursday to address his business conflicts and take questions. But he has since rescheduled that for sometime before his inauguration in January.
White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes expressed skepticism that something of this magnitude would happen without Russian President Vladimir Putin's knowledge.
Earnest refused to confirm reports that Putin personally had a hand in Russia's involvement, only going so far as to note that in the Oct. 7 assessment, intelligence officials said "Russia's senior-most officials" had authorized the cyber activity, noting that his interpretation is that the term "senior-most" wasn't intended to be subtle.
"Pretty obvious that they were referring to the senior-most government official in Russia," he said.
"I'm not surprised," Earnest said.

Q: How to check textarea for invalid characters The table below is part of the contact form. Validation of all other input fields works fine except the textarea which is for client message. The script is expected to search for invalid xters. If found, an alarm message is turned on.
The text area can contain more than one line.
SO far, if any invalid xter is at the beginning in the textarea, an alarm message is turend on.
However if the invalid xter is not at the beginning of the input, the script does not detect it.
i have tried some solutions I came across but none is working. The best I have so far is this.
Please what is wrong with my script?
Also I want to allow these xters  , . ( ), - How can include it in my regex if possible?

<textarea style='width:250px;height:150px' class='contactusinput'
id='mymessage' name='mymessage' type="text" pattern="[A-Za-z0-9,._- ]"
maxlength='2000'></textarea>

The script:

A: /^[\d\w\s]/m

^ here means start of a line. I think what you are looking for are:
/[^\d\w\s]/m

and to add , . ( ) :
/[^\d\w\s,.()]/m

and then you need to remove ! from your if:
if (message_regex.test(val)) {

A: There are several things to note:

*

*pattern attribute is not working for textarea, so you need to implement your own function

*the regex you have contains an issue: the _-  creates a range from _ till a space (it should cause an "invalid range" error, but I guess the first issue prevents you from getting that far)

*To check multiline input, you need to actually split the text into separate lines and check each of them otherwise, a single correct line will make the whole text pass.

Here is my suggested code fix:

$('#mymessage').keyup(validatemessage);

function validatemessage() {
  var textarea = this;
  var message_regex = new RegExp('^' + $(textarea).attr('pattern') + '$');
  var val = $("#mymessage").val();
  //check if textarea is empty
  if (val === "") {
    $("#mymessagealarm").text('You must fill this field');
  } else {
    //Check for invalid xters in textarea
    var lines = val.split(/[\r\n]+/);
    $.each(lines, function(index, line) {
      if (!message_regex.test(line)) {
        $("#mymessagealarm").text('Incorrect pattern Use only A-Z a-z 0-9  , ._ - and space ');
      } else {
        $("#mymessagealarm").text('');
        $("#mymessageerr").text(0);
      }
    });
  }
}

Novaczar from TV's Queen of the Universe releases new single and visual
Novaczar by Jhade Benetiez
Novaczar from Queen of the Universe, the international drag-singing competition streaming now on Paramount Plus, is out now with her debut single, "Empress." The Broadway-pop crossover is a collaboration with producer Roman Molino Donn and is meant to be an introduction to the drag persona that is Novaczar, The Empress of the Galaxy. "Empress' is my war cry," she explains. "It is a cultivation of everything that I have worked for. A climax moment to show the world who I am and what I represent."
Novaczar ("Nova" meaning "star" and "czar', a reference to Russian royalty) is a siren, a witch, the fashionista from the capital of the Hunger Games. Novaczar rules from planet Exotica and hops in her spaceship to fly to planet Earth to serve the children. She is the creation of Noah Spiegel-Blum, a young drag artist who identifies as non-binary.
Novaczar by Jhade Benitez
Born in New Jersey and raised in Virginia Beach, Noah's childhood was not a happy one. His mom passed away when he was in the 7th grade. His dad (recently passed) was an alcoholic and Noah and his brother didn't get along. All he had was his art. Luckily, when it came time for high school, he was accepted into the prestigious Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA. The boarding school offered Noah an escape from the stress of his home life and helped to shape him into the artist that he is today.
Through his art, Noah marries his love for musical theater with his inspiration of androgynous icons such as Leigh Bowery, Boy George and Klaus Nomi. He is also inspired by the street art of Brooklyn to create looks that are never the same. He prides himself on originality and conceptual pieces of art and fashion that push the boundaries of what is expected.
His most monumental work is that of Novaczar and her first music release is "Empress." The song has a driving bass with tom drums that carries listeners along through the uplifting piano and guitar-driven Broadway-pop hybrid.
Novaczar by Bryan Clavel
Its music video draws inspiration from Dorothy's journey from Kansas to Oz. It depicts Novaczar's career journey and turns from black and white to color as she finds success. "My hope is that 'Empress' allows listeners a little peek into my soul," Novaczar continues. "I want people to understand that I am a human being that wears her heart on her sleeve and I channel my love into my music."

Q: NLog structuring logging masking Suppose we are writing the following structured log message
logger.Info("User's Password is {Password}", "1234567890");

I would like to mask a password property because it is a sensitive data. I found this issue but I think it is a very difficult way.
For example, I have found the extension that resolves a similar task for serilog. It is very simple to use. But I didn't find any useful information for Nlog.
How to achieve it with nlog library?
I will appreciate any suggestions.

A: You could use RegisterObjectTransformation, introduced in NLog 4.7.
For example:
LogManager.Setup().SetupSerialization(s =>
    s.RegisterObjectTransformation<object>(o =>
    {
        var props = o.GetType().GetProperties();
        var propsDict = props.ToDictionary(p => p.Name, p => p.GetValue(o));

        propsDict.Remove("password");

        return propsDict;
   }));

Please note, in terms of performance you maybe need something like a reflection cache and smart optimizations.

A: I suggest that you wrap the secret password in an object like this:
public class SecretWrapper : IFormatable
{
    private readonly string _secret;

    public SecretWrapper(string secret)
    {
        _secret  = secret;
    }

    public string GetSecret() => _secret; // Not a property to avoid basic reflection

    public override string ToString() => "******"

    public string ToString (string format, IFormatProvider formatProvider) => ToString();
}

NLog will never output the secret-value:
logger.Info("User's Password is {Password}", new SecretWrapper("1234567890"));

Unit I: The Ancient World – Civilizations and Belief Systems (4000 BC – 500 AD)
Unit I begins with geography and early man. It then moves through the river valley civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and China, the early Middle Eastern and Indian empires, and ends with the classical civilizations of India, China and Europe. Major belief systems are addressed in context.
Unit II: Expanding Zones of Exchange and Encounter (500 – 1200 AD)
Unit II begins with a look at powerful Empires in the Middle East with the Byzantine Empire and then the rise of Islam and domination of Islamic caliphates. The unit then shifts focus to Africa, before moving to the Chinese T'ang and Song Dynasties. It wraps up with a look at the Middle Ages in Europe.
Unit III: Global Interactions (1200 - 1650 AD)
Unit III deals with the Eurasian continent just prior to the Encounter. It begins with a study of the Mongols, the Ming, and a look at Japan before transitioning back to Europe for the Renaissance and Reformation.
Unit IV: The First Global Age (1450 - 1770 AD)
Unit IV begins to chronicle the rise of the West with the Maritime Revolution and the Encounter. It takes a step backward to examine Mesoamerican civilizations, before proceeding through the Age of Exploration and the rise of Absolutism in Europe.

Here's a summary on Thielmann's Blog Cabin that takes a run at what we did at our 2012 retreat Oct 18-19.
This PD model takes the best of Edcamp (collaboration among teachers around shared inquiries) and the worst of public education (frantically trying to sort out and mitigate the impact of the factory system) and shakes them together in a martini mixer of fire, knife-throwing, conversation, grilled foodstuffs, mutual accountability, starry-eyed anarchism, and critical analysis of current events and pressing issues.
Each participant brings one or more questions to discuss. We use a modified Socratic Fire Circle to debate and deconstruct the inquiries and inquirists at the same time.
1. What would it take to pull off a Gr. 12 multi-school student trip to Vimy Ridge in 2017 for the 100 yr anniversary?
2. How should enriched SS9/SS10 and History 12 respond to demographic changes and no provincial exam?
3. How can we unravel and guide a better use of online resources without falling into ineffective patterns?
5. How could blended learning be used to combine courses and allow some authentic form of personalized learning?
6. What are the pros and cons of PLNs and PD on Twitter?

We've been hearing a lot about how "business" minded our new all-Republican Board of Supervisors here in Loudoun is. But just as politicians who invoke God all the time are usually the first to be caught with their pants down or their hands in the till, so those who talk about running government as a business regularly do things that the owner of a pop stand would know better than to do.
Fer instance: The supervisors, in their recent minimal-discussion unanimous vote to hand the Washington Redskins professional football team a cool $2 million of county tax money over the next four years, invoked all sorts of business-bafflegab about "ROI"s (that's "return on investment" to you peons): the argument being that because this very successful private business (which is expected to take in $1.4 billion in revenue during the next four years) employs some people at their corporate HQ in Loudoun, they will generate at least that much in county tax revenues, so it's worth it to bribe this private concern to stay in the county. (For an excellent analysis of this act of remarkable public generosity, see the in-depth article in the Blue Ridge Leader.)
The trouble is, this is a completely bogus pseudo-argument, a smokescreen for a complete non-policy that could justify any giveaway to the Board's friends. By the same principle, after all, every single business in the county ought to demand a subsidy of an amount equal to their total tax payments minus $0.01: those "investments" by the county would likewise yield a "positive ROI."
In fact, the whole business (as it were) of treating government handouts as "investments" to be assessed on their "return" is balderdash. The purpose of government is not to do what private capital is perfectly capable of doing: it's to do things that the private sector cannot do, precisely because they are not "profitable" in the conventional business sense. Schools, public safety, transportation, cultural organizations serve a value to society in the long term, and as a society we rightly value them and think they are worth supporting. That ought to be the criteria for whether the county supports them.
But of course it sounds so much better to throw around words like "financials" and "trend lines"and "cost effectiveness" etc etc as Highly Successful Businessman-Supervisor "Ken" Reid (R-Leesburg) did in proposing to axe the Loudoun Museum, or a majority of the Board did earlier this year in killing the Loudoun Drug Court: So much more convenient than to have to come out and say you don't give a damn about history or heritage or culture or saving people's lives.
Watch for a similar sort of pseudo-scientific and pseudo-intellectual "business" justification for slashing the school budget: the ground is already being laid by the Board's new Government "Reform" Commission, which is packed with right-wing Loudoun Republican Committee party hacks and associated pseudo-intellectual BSers (paging Barbara Munsey!) of the first order. They likewise don't have the cohones to come out and say they are out to destroy the public education system (paging religious-right home-school Loudoun-GOP force extraordinaire "Dr." Michael Farris!), so instead invoke business blather to do their dirty work for them.
At a recent Board of Supervisors meeting, a summary of the "Reform" Commission's "analysis" in this area made clear what they are up to. The key of their bogus business blather is an attempt to tie the school budget to "objective benchmarks."
Now, most people would think that an "objective benchmark" for a school budget would be how many pupils are enrolled. And the reason the Loudoun school budget has been expanding so rapidly in recent years is staggeringly simple: enrollment has grown from under 40,000 in 2002 to nearly double that this year, and is continuing to grow by about 3,000 pupils a year well into the foreseeable future. That growth is the direct result of the policies adopted by previous GOP-controlled boards that threw the county open to unbridled residential development. Everyone knew that that growth could not pay for itself. The slow growth advocates said so; the developer-run GOP adamantly denied it.
Loudoun meanwhile has among lowest per-pupil instructional costs of the region ($11,000 per pupil per year, compared to about $18,000 in Alexandria and Arlington, $15,000 in Montgomery, and $13,000 in Fairfax). Loudoun's real per pupil costs have actually been declining in the last few years as well (see graph below). So compared to the only "objective benchmark" that actually means anything in terms of schools doing the job they exist to do, and that they receive public funds in order to do, the county school budget is actually falling.
But what the "Reform" commission is now proposing is that the school budget be tied to the "objective benchmark" of the county's total economic activity. Here's the Commission's bafflegab presented to the Board recently by county administrator Tim Hemstreet:
there were two things that the Commission had tried to accomplish in the analysis, the first being to try to put the cost of government in general and the school system in particular in some type of context. He said secondly, having established such a benchmark, to try to understand what the main drivers of cost changes relative to that benchmark over time. He referred to a graph in the staff report that indicated the cost of the school system relative to gross County product, skyrocketed going from about 4% of GCP up to 5%. He said that GCP continued to grow during this time period; however, the cost on the school side grew faster than the GCP. He commented on assessed property values and noted that the costs on the school side do not bare a relation to an objective measure of either wealth or productivity. He said their recommendation in this regard is that it should be part of the discussion. He stated the Commission recommended the adoption of benchmarking in the Loudoun County Public School process that takes into account comparison of costs to an economic base within the County as measured by GCP to understand how the productivity of the County matches up to the cost that we are requesting on the school side.
Now, I suppose if the school population consisted of the members of Loudoun Chamber of Commerce sitting at those little desks, it might make some conceivable sense to tie the size of the school budget to the county's total economic activity, wealth, or "productivity." But otherwise it's just plain nuts. Of course the school budget has been growing faster than the "GCP": that's what happens when you suddenly double the number of new houses and fill 'em with families with school age children. The Loudoun GOP made Loudoun a bedroom community, their policies doubled the school enrollment in a decade, and now they are trying to say it's very very bad that the school budget has "skyrocketed" compared to the growth in the county's "wealth or productivity," and something needs to be done about it. I suppose it's nice that they finally admit that growth does not pay for itself. But it's chutzpah of the first order to now try to smarmily turn that around into an argument that the school budgets are out of control and need to be slashed — even as school enrollment keeps growing (as a direct result of their policies in the first place).
You might just as sensibly insist on tying the school budget to the "benchmark" of the number of speeding tickets received by Speedy Supervisor Ken Reid, the campaign contributions received by Chairman Scott York, or the number of times a local GOP elected official closes a letter with a phony religious piety.
Moral: beware of politicians using business-speak terms like "benchmarking", "ROI," "productivity of the County," etc etc etc. in contexts where no real businessman would think of trying to apply them.

Bad Boys Blue är en tysk eurodiscogrupp. Bland deras allra mest kända låtar finns "You're a Woman", "I Wanna Hear Your Heartbeat (Sunday Girl)" och "Pretty Young Girl".

Gruppen bildades i Köln 1984 av Andrew Thomas, Trevor Taylor och John McInerney. Taylor var ursprungligen huvudvokalist, men på tredje albumet tog McInerney över sången allt mer och Taylor lämnade gruppen 1989. Han ersattes av Trevor Bannister som i sin tur ersattes av först Mo Russell och senare Kevin McCoy.

2005 splittrades gruppen och McInerney fortsatte under namnet Bad Boys Blue medan Thomas turnerade under namnet The Real Bad Boys Blue fram till sin död 2009. McInerney flyttade till Polen och "gruppen" är numera ett soloprojekt där han uppträder med polska körsångerskor.

A campaign to erect a statue of Scotland's most famous female philosopher has been launched by an Edinburgh University Student.
Viktoria Matejova, a student and activist, is calling on Edinburgh City Council to recognise the contribution of women to philosophy and honour theorist Mary Shepherd.
Shepherd was a great thinker of her day who engaged in debate with David Hume and wrote primarily about causation and religion.
Viktoria, 21, was inspired to launch her campaign after achieving success in establishing the Mary Shepherd Philosophy Conference, which took place in January.
Viktoria launched her petition a few weeks ago, expecting to obtain just a few signatures, but has been overwhelmed by the response.
However, not all the feedback has been positive and Viktoria said: "It can seem a bit backwards, it's still very controversial for some people to say that a woman might have been important in philosophy.
Viktoria hopes that funding for the statue will come from one of Edinburgh's many historical societies, but stressed that at this stage, permission was key.
Viktoria is being aided in her campaign by the Diversity Reading List and Minorities and Philosophy UK (MAP UK) – an organisation promoting equality and diversity in philosophy.

Our hotel is three blocks from the Savannah College of Arts and Design. Cassie Russell is my all time favorite Michigan basketball player. So I get the bright idea of going to get my picture taken with him.
I walk over to the campus and outside the coffee shop I ask a patron "Can you tell me where to find the basketball arena"? "Are you sure they have a basketball arena"? "Yes, their coach is from the U of Michigan". I then ask if he is a student. No. He then replies "It is a long way from drawing a tree to being an athlete". Hmm, I suppose it is.
I ask three more people who are students. They all stare at me with bewilderment.
I return to the hotel, look Cassie up on wikipedia, he is in his 12th season as coach at SCAD it says. I then google athletics at SCAD, there is no basketball team listed in their athletic roster. I call info at SCAD, can you connect me with Cassie Russell? No listing.
Six of us were out to dinner last night. When the waitress found out that we were all riding from Maine to Florida she responded "You must all be really good friends". How true. You make great friends on a trip like this.
Savannah is a city with a very nice feel. Twenty squares filled with historic monuments, beautiful historic houses, park spaces, civil war history, fine restaurants, and hotels. It is just very well done. A group of us took a tour bus this morning to learn about the city.
It is also the second largest port on the East Coast and the fastest growing port in the country.
And I will not be riding my bike today even though it is not raining.
But where is Cassie? I have a call into the SCAD athletic department. Hopefully they will return the call.
I estimated 1000 shipping containers on the deck of this ship. In the distance is the bridge we rode over to enter Savannah.
Miss you and Mom- sounds like a great rest day in a cool city! Love you, keep riding strong!
Love all the group names - white bread and the bagels is my favorite.

Let me let you in on a secret. I'm a great cook, but I'm not a 'great cook', know what I mean? I am not formally trained in the technical sense, but I do know how to make great tasting food. Because for me, great tasting food is all about food that is FRESH – fresh, real, easy, seasonal and healthy. When you've got FRESH right, cooking great food is a snap!
This is why I am so in love with our fresh peas and beans. Fresh shelled legumes (legumes are a class of vegetable that includes beans, peas and lentils), like our green peas and our borlotti's, are amazing fresh. Seriously, if you've only ever eaten frozen peas or canned/dried borlotti beans, the taste of a fresh pea or a fresh borlotti will simply amaze you. They just have so much flavour and so much more of a robust texture when fresh. Once you've tried it for yourself, you will see what I mean.
Our Edible Gems range of fresh, shelled peas and beans embody what it means to be fresh, real, easy, seasonal and healthy.
Our peas and beans are not dried, nor are they cooked, steamed or parboiled before being put in their packs. They have no additives (unless you count sunshine and rain!). They are grown fresh, then shelled and brought to our new, state-of-the-art packhouse for washing, sorting and packing. Once packed, a breathable film is put over the top to keep them fresh, then they are packed into cartons and shipped to our retail partner stores.
We capture their natural freshness and natural deliciousness straight out of the pod and deliver that freshness to you. We love our fresh peas and beans…and we know you will too.
"If you do what you love and work with people you love, the things that you produce will be loved."


Trying to get good photo shoot vs. daily life snap shots of my own kids is quite a challenge. Trying to get pictures of both of them sitting together nearly impossible. On our recent photo shoot attempt in the bluebonnets I brought two assistants.... one more helpful than the other. Can you guess who one of those 'assistants' might have been?
Peek-a-boo! On the walk through the field back to the car Micah had to imitate what I and my other 'assistant' had been doing to try and get the kids attention while they sat nicely next to each other.
Results of the photo shoot coming soon!

The Institute of Modern Russia continues its series of publications on Russia's political prisoners with a profile of Alexey Gaskarov, an activist and a defendant in the Bolotnaya Square case. The pretrial hearing for his case is scheduled for April 14.
In late March, Gaskarov's case was sent to court. The pretrial hearing will be held on April 14.
Alexey Gaskarov, a widely known activist and participant in Russia's antifascist movement, was taken into custody on April 28, 2013, shortly before the subsequent rally in support of the "May 6 prisoners." Gaskarov was the last person arrested in the Bolotnaya Square case. He was charged with participation in the organization of mass riots and violent actions (not threatening life or health) against representatives of authority. In late March 2014, Gaskarov's case, along with the cases of Ilya Guschin, Elena Kokhtareva, and Alexander Margolin, was sent to the Zamoskvoretskiy District Court in Moscow.
In his native town of Zhukovskiy, Alexey was called an "unofficial mayor." According to Gaskarov, his own major goal was to encourage members of society to self-organize for the protection of their rights.
The "Bolotnaya prisoner" said that he had pulled a police officer away from an activist because he had deemed it impossible to not get involved, seeing as how "people who did not demonstrate any aggressive behavior were being beaten and detained." As a result, Gaskarov himself was beaten by the riot police. He later filed a request with the investigative committee to open a criminal case against the riot police officer who beat him. The case was not opened, however.
Before Gaskarov was arrested, he was actively involved in public activities. He was a member of the Institute for Collective Action (which investigates public movements and provided informational support for social initiatives), the Opposition Coordination Council, and the Zhukovskiy People's Council. He also served as a spokesperson for the antifascist movement, and participated in rallies and other public and political events, including demonstrations in support of preserving the Khimki and Tsagovski forests. In late July 2010, as a journalist for the Institute for Collective Action, Gaskarov participated in a demonstration opposing the destruction of the Khimki forest and, a few days later, was arrested on charges of hooliganism. His arrest was later recognized as illegal and the charges were dropped.
According to another antifascist Maksim Solopov, in his native town of Zhukovskiy, Gaskarov was called an "unofficial mayor": "He organized a homeowners association, a soccer club, participated in creating a coffee shop, opened a movie theater, organized screenings and concerts…" According to Gaskarov, his own major goal is to encourage members of society to self-organize for the protection of their rights.
Currently, Alexey Gaskarov is preparing for the pretrial hearing that will begin on April 14. As Anna Karpova, Gaskarov's fiancée, conveyed in her comment to the Institute of Modern Russia, it is difficult, if not impossible, to describe the competitiveness of the process that started approximately a year ago; however, "Alexey is very seriously preparing for the trial. He wants to utilize his legal base to its full extent and is going to participate in the process to the fullest extent. Even despite the circumstances, when one might think it impossible to influence the process, he is very active in terms of defending and asserting his position." Judging by Alexey's letters from prison, he is not thinking about giving up.

Can anyone help me to overcome this problem. As well explain some thing what other security updation added in Java 7 update 45
Thanks


I'll be praying for your grandson's recovery! Bless U for being so passionate that this not happen to anybody else! And thank U for permission to share your story, to help others prevent this tragedy.
I hear you Grandpa, and I support you 150%! I'd just like to remind you and your readers about objects becoming projectiles in a crash. You and your child may be strapped in nice and snug, but things flying around the vehicle could injure or kill you as well. I say this in response to your comment about mounting a CD (DVD) player on the rear window shelf. This also goes for portable mirrors or baby toys mounted to a seat, as well as groceries, purses, books, water bottles, cell phones, etc. Isaac Newtons theory of motion says that weight x speed = force. This holds true for occupants and the force it takes to restrain them as well as for objects that dislodge in a crash. Therefore, even a 1 lb can of peas travelling at 35 mph will hit you with the force of 35 lbs. I just thought I'd add another piece of safety information to keep all of us safe on the roads. I apologize if this was mentioned later on in the replies. I ditto the prayers for Joel and your entire family, and for the project that can help save others from this nightmare. God bless you!

Episode of 'The Goldbergs' to Focus on Famous South Jersey Restaurant [VIDEO]
Heather DeLuca Published: March 7, 2018
R. Polk/Getty Images
If you grew up in the 80's, you're probably obsessed with 'The Goldbergs' on ABC, which takes place in Jenkintown, PA. Tonight's episode it set to feature a favorite South Jersey restaurant.
Because of creator Adam F. Goldberg's ties to Philadelphia, the sitcom was bound to eventually address 'The Great Cheesesteak Debate'. While characters Pops and Murray argue over Geno's Steaks and Pat's Steaks, Barry Goldberg's choice is from Donkey's Place in Camden, a sandwich he calls "cheesy beacon of hope.''
While none of the scenes for tonight's episode were shot at the real Donkey's, located on Haddon Ave,, the eatery was fully reconstructed for filming, Courier Post reports.
Donkey's cheesesteak, loved for it's signature poppy-seed Kaiser roll and a trademark ingredient the owner's wouldn't even share with famed chef Anthony Bourdain, is often overlooked by people who think the world's best cheesesteaks come from Philly. Here in South Jersey, we know better. And now The Goldbergs know, too!
'The Goldbergs' air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
If you grew up in the 80's, you're probably obsessed with 'The Goldbergs' on ABC, which takes place in Jenkintown, PA. Tonight's episode it set to feature on a favorite South Jersey restaurant.

County Division 1 candidates address public at Oct. 4 forum
Candidates questioned on pre-election county time commitment
Amelia Naismith
Not quite two weeks before the 2017 municipal election, the council hopefuls of Division 1 took their last opportunity to speak with the ratepayers en masse at a candidates forum on Oct. 4.
Each of the four candidates too a few minutes to tell the crowd a bit about themselves and why they are running for public office before the question period began.
Candidate Deanne Bye has lived and farmed in the area for almost 20 years. She has a background as an insurance broker and previous board related experience. "Through my experiences on the boards I've learned you must come together."
"Both business and boards have taught me to be an avid listener and a strong negotiator," she added.
Bye knows infrastructure is an important issue within the county and wants further transparency and public engagement from council.
Incumbent Pearl Hay was born and raised on what is now a Century Farm in the County of Wetaskiwin. She is seeking re-election for a second term on council.
"Over the past four years on county council we have accomplished a lot," said Hay, referring to the agricultural service board, a new county pool, ice and water rescue and blue algae elimination practices.
Hay says the county's biggest issue is roads, as larger equipment and aging infrastructure come together to create issues.
Candidate Bill Krahn grew up farming in northern Alberta and moved to the County of Wetaskiwin in the mid 1980s. He has worked in a variety of industries including feedlots, farming, oilfield, and business. "I was asked by a couple people if I'd run for councillor for Division 1."
Krahn says with an interest in politics he feels now was the time to put his name forward.
As a councillor candidate he believes some of the top priorities are listening, relaying concerns to council or county departments and road maintenance, student safety near the Gwynne slide, and the protection of farmland.
Candidate Lynn Ware grew up in Wyoming near the Oregon Trail, which is where her love of history stems from.
Ware sits on the board for Wetaskiwin Regional Public School and is also seeking re-election as a trustee. Ware says in 1995 the city and rural school boards amalgamated, but prior to that the rural schools were county run and councillors acted in the role of trustees.
"I have an active and inquisitive mind. I don't ever want to be stagnant and I love a challenge," said Ware.
The candidates first question was how could they see the county working more with the City of Wetaskiwin to promote businesses in the county.
Hay says at the present time both municipalities are part of the Joint Economic Development Initiative (JEDI). But earlier this year Wetaskiwin city council made the decision to terminate its involvement in JEDI, which comes into effect Dec. 31. 2017.
"We have to find a way we can work together," said Hay.
Bye says the county should look to work with the Wetaskiwin Regoinal Chamber of Commerce to promote county businesses.
"I would support promoting businesses in the rural area," said Bye.
Krahn says the people within the county and city must work together as a team to generate more taxes for both municipalities.
"I'm all for trying to make the City of Wetaskiwin and the county work together," said Krahn.
Ware feels in order for the two municipalities to work together to promote rural business there needs to be a better communication relationship.
"A lot of our agricultural land is not zoned for business," said Ware.
Candidates were questioned on how they felt the county can work with law enforcement to address and reduce property crime.
Hay says each county resident must remain vigilant and report if they see any suspicious activity, as the feasibility of law enforcement is an ongoing issue.
Krahn also believes it is up to the community members and individuals to remain vigilant, along with the support from organizations such as Rural Crime Watch.
Ware says the county's budget plays a big part, and if residents are not going to watch out for each other the money will have to be found in the budget.
One question asked to candidates was, what kind of time commitment they have put into familiarizing themselves with county conduct by attending different meetings as candidates/members of the public.
Krahn says he has attended between five and seven general council meetings. Ware says she has attended approximately 10 general council meetings. Hay says since the beginning of the year she has attended 36 council meetings in her role as the Division 1 councillor. Bye told the crowd she has attended three or four general council meetings.
Candidates were also asked to relay, aside from roads, what they believed some of the county's other big issues are.
"I would have to go to bridges," said Hay. She added finding funding without raising taxes is a challenge.
Ware feels the RV land use bylaw and the protection of ag land are two main issues.
Bye agree with bridges, as well as business promotion. "There's little talk of promoting business in the rural community."
Along with roads, Krahn says bridges is a major county issue.
The county candidates were also questioned on their position of development noise issues.
"If we want to maintain our roads and bridges we'd better put up with some road construction. It's not going to go on forever," said Krahn.
Bye says as a councillor she would listen to both sides of the story and council would weigh the pros and cons. "I think as a councillor you have to be an intermediary.
Ware feels a compromise could be made and construction development could be done during daytime business hours.
"I hate to see noise, but we have to have noise to see progress," said Hay.
On Oct. 16, for Division 1, voting stations will be set up at Malmo Mission Covenant Church, the Angus Ridge Community Hall, and the County of Wetaskiwin administration building.
