State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson has urged educators, parents, school board members and community leaders to support state legislation that will improve mental health services for students.
“Students need to have good mental health to succeed in the classroom and in life,” Torlakson said. “Schools can help by creating a caring and supportive environment and by working to help identify mental health problems early so students can receive the treatment they need.”
Torlakson mentioned bills he said will enhance mental health care in schools. SB 972, authored by Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge), would require all schools issuing student identification cards to include the telephone number of a suicide prevention hotline or crisis text line. SB 1019, authored by Sen. Jim Beall (D-San Jose), would require the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission to create a grant program for school district mental health partnerships.
AB 1436, by Assemblyman Mark Levine (D-San Rafael) will require those applying for a license as a marriage and family therapist, educational psychologist, clinical social worker or professional clinical counselor to complete a minimum of six hours of coursework or applied experience in suicide risk assessment and intervention.
The bills will be considered before the Legislature adjourns on Aug. 31. If approved, Gov. Jerry Brown has 30 days to sign or veto legislation.

College campuses and popular spring break sites used to be cluttered with credit card companies trying to get as many students as possible to apply for a card. These days, the atmosphere is somewhat different, as the Credit Card Responsibility and Disclosure Act has brought added requirements for those under 21 years of age to be allowed to obtain a credit card. The Act was signed into law in 2009, and requires individuals under 21 to get a co-signer to be able to obtain a credit card – unless the individual has an independent income.
Consequently, the number of college students who have a credit card has been declining in recent years. According to a survey conducted by Sallie Mae, only around 35 percent of college students had a credit card in 2012. This represents a decline from the 40 percent who had a credit card just one year prior and the 42 percent who had a card in 2010.
Instead, many college students are turning to debit cards, which only allow them to spend the money they already have in their bank account. While this trend has prevented college students from acquiring credit card debt, it has also prevented them from beginning to establish credit history. As time progresses, a lack of credit history could hurt these students when they apply for a loan, such as a home mortgage.
Of course, for people who are facing mounting credit card debts, there are options available to them to return to stable financial ground. In such cases, consulting with a skilled bankruptcy attorney is a wise step.

Brian Dietzen is opening up about a handful of health conditions that happened all in a row, just before the pandemic set in.
The 44-year-old NCIS star, who fans will recognize as Dr. Jimmy Palmer on the long running series, shared his harrowing tales of having a stroke, and heart surgery and how they inspired him to write.
Click inside to read more…
“I had a dual embolic stroke in my cerebellum,” he revealed, adding that his “hands were all curled up, and it was terrifying.”
Brian adds, “I remember getting rushed to the hospital and thinking, ‘Well, I don’t have a career anymore. I guess I’m gonna have to focus on writing, because I can’t speak.’”
After a few hours there though, a blood clot in his brain passed, and Brian recalled thinking that he needed to make good on his writing dreams.
But the stroke wasn’t all the health issues he was facing.
“I’m going to say something that’s going to sound like an advertisement and it’s not, but the Apple Watch saved my life. I was on the floor of my bathroom, throwing up, and I pulled out my phone and I was like, ‘Oh sh**, I can’t use my fingers.’ And so I said, ‘Hey, Siri, call Kelly,’ and called my wife and I said, ‘I need help.’”
He went on, remembering her comment on how he sounded like he had marbles in his mouth, and using the voice command, was able to call 911 next.
“‘I don’t think there’s much that I’ve left undone, because everyone that I love knows that I love them’ — that sort of thing,” Brian recalled of the thoughts that passed over him as he was in the MRI tube. “But then I was like, ‘Whoa, no, I can’t start thinking that way,’ and then I started trying to get my mind in the right place. And I could feel something happen in my brain, but all of a sudden I could move my hands and start moving my tongue. I started doing tongue twisters. They’re like, ‘Please stay still.’ But the clot in my brain cleared. And I was really blessed that I’d stayed really healthy and had a really healthy cardiovascular system.”
“After all that happened, they’re like, ‘You’re very, very healthy, you’re in your early 40s; you shouldn’t be having a stroke.’ So we went to UCLA, and finally, I got a test that showed that I had this hole between my atrial chambers that needed to be closed,” he said, adding he was headed to surgery straight away for that.
Since he had suffered a stroke just before, Brian advised his physicians about him taking any kind of anesthetic that caused him to be out. So, he ended up watching the entire surgery to close up the hole in his heart on an overhead screen.
Following his surgery, Brian was actually able to get back to work on NCIS, and after a few episodes in, is when the pandemic shut down production.
“And then over the next six months as everyone was sitting at home, myself included, I started asking those questions of, how do I want to affect the world? And which stories do I want to tell?’ You go through all the scenarios — should I be on this show anymore? Should I move on, do something different? What’s going to make me happy?” he mused.
“I realized there’s no reason why I can’t tell really great stories and branch out and still do what I love on this thing, and be surrounded by these people that have supported me and that I support and love.”
NCIS is airing tonight, February 28 on CBS.
Brian isn’t the only star raising some awareness for cardiovascular health as of late. Find out who else did recently here.

For this fourth event, the OST has collaborated with Nacima Baron, Professeur at the Paris School of Urban Planning and researcher at City, Mobility, Transport laboratory (LVMT) from Université Gustave Eiffel, and Isabelle Gournay, a French native who recently retired from her job as Professor at the University of Maryland (UMD). Together, they had the pleasure to invite Alain L’Hostis (Université Gustave Eiffel) and Gerrit Knaap (UMD, National Center for Smart Growth Initiative) who gave different insights into the challenges of constructing and implementing new major transport infrastructure such as railways.
LVMT is a joint laboratory from Ecole des Ponts and Université Gustave Eiffel which aims at addressing the interactions between city and transportation. All kinds of movements are considered, from the commuting movements to the non-constrained ones (e.g. leisure and tourism). The laboratory works on several axes of research, such as urban mobilities, territorial dynamics, city-transport interactions and physics of traffic. Overall, research programs at LVMT fit into the larger Urban Futures LABEX.
Paris and Washington: two capitals learning from each other for the development of rail infrastructures
Nacima Baron and Isabelle Gournay started out the webinar with a presentation of the ongoing collaboration between UMD, based in College Park, MD near Washington, DC and Université Gustave Eiffel in Paris. This fruitful collaboration of nearly 10 years has led to several seminars in Washington and Paris, a series of joint articles, and an upcoming book on Transit-Oriented Development (TOD).
Previously, in webinar 3.1, we explored the opportunities and challenges offered by developing electromobility in an urban context. The French-American collaboration presented in this webinar explores and compares challenges faced by cities who want to reduce the use of private cars and promote a more sustainable urban development by developing station districts.
The development of new public transport infrastructure raises huge challenges, in part due to path dependency. In addition to the study of the railway structures itself, there is a need to understand its social and economic impact including, for instance, rising prices in the real estate market, exclusion or integration of communities, and so on. New mobilities may also transform how transport hubs are used, potentially giving them a new dynamic or eliminating them. The comparison between Paris and Washington DC is especially fruitful as both metropolises are planning new metro ring lines in systems that are currently designed as star networks: the Metro Line 15 of the Grand Paris Express and the Purple Line in Washington.
E-scooters, a promising intermodal option?
Focusing specifically on e-scooters as a new mode of transportation for accessing regional train, Alain L’Hostis’ presented a series of studies he leads with colleagues on the relationship between station hubs and new mobility in the PACA Region, in Southern France. The ongoing research looks at the mobility behavior and intermodal use of e-scooters in conjunction with train services on the regional railway line between Marseille and Cannes. This work leverages SNCF‘s (France’s national state-owned railway company) studies made in preparation of the construction of a new high-speed line between Marseille and Nice.
Figure 1 : Socio-demographic profile of e-scooter users, literature meta-analysis
The use of e-scooters is a recent object of research and could be part of the answer to improve access to public transportation, and a way to achieve low-carbon mobility overall. In France, most e-scooter trips are intermodal and coupled for the most with public transport. However, an analysis of the recent literature on the topic shows that there is an imbalance in the type of users for this mode of transportation: 70% of users are male, and they tend to be in the 25-35 age group (students and high-skilled young professionals). The literature review also reveals that e-scooters appear to be a « full transport mode », meaning that it is used for a wide range of purposes (commute to work, recreational, shopping). Data collected in relation with COVID-19 but also during strikes show that there is an increase in the use of e-scooters when other means of transportation become unavailable, hinting at the resilience .
Figure 2 : Share of passengers who travel to and from a railway station by the same mode
The survey conducted by SNCF in the PACA region shows some similarity but also striking differences in the mobility behavior of e-scooters users when compared to other modes of transportation. There are also some similarities between bike-and-ride and scoot-and-ride mobilities but, on average, e-scooters users tend to travel higher distances than pedestrians and smaller distances than cycling users. The fact that e-scooter users ride them at both ends of their trip represents the main difference with bike-and-ride. In PACA, e-scooters may become a useful complement to the first and last-mile of public transport: this means of transportation offers a great opportunity to travel easily when you get off the train.
In the last part of Alain L’Hostis’ presentation, he emphasized that current urban design features around railway stations are disproportionate. Using Google Earth images, his team was able to quantify that 66% of the public space is dedicated to cars, while these vehicles make up only about 1/3 of the feeder trips to the station. Walking is the dominant way to access a station, then comes private cars, then bikes (3%) and scooters (2%). Therefore, it is suggested that public spaces around station areas should be redesigned to offer greater accessibility for walkers, bikers and users of scooters.
Figure 3 : The organization of space around the Mouans-Sartoux station
The debates following this first presentation emphasized other factors to consider to explain the differences between bikes and e-scooters uses, especially in the peri-urban areas around the stations. For instance, more studies could be conducted on the relation between density and mode of transportation. To gain a fuller perspective, other factors such as the topography of the environment studied (presence of slopes for instance) as well as the level of income of users should be explored.
Gerrit Jan-Knaap’s teams conducted similar works in the United States and they drew the same conclusions. They also identified two other influential parameters : tourism, which is a reason for the heavy utilization of scooters, and the necessary use of credit cards to access shared scooters infrastructure, which provides further explanation on the profiles of the users.
The Purple Line Corridor Coalition (PLCC): a unique example of organization aimed at developing a sustainable and equitable transit corridor
Following the detailed study of Alain L’Hostis, Gerrit Jan-Knaap gave us an overview of the in-depth involvement of UMD within the major project of the Purple Line.
The purple line is a new light rail line transit under construction in the North-Eastern area of Washington DC metropolis. As the first circumferential line in the “star” network of Washington DC, it will connect and complement existing networks that pass through moderate density suburban land. An estimated 69.000 citizens will use the line in 2030, and it should remove 17.000 cars off the road on a daily basis.
Figure 4 : The Purple Line in Washington DC
Figure 5 : The corridor around the constructing Purple Line
In order to maximize the benefits of this huge transit investment, the University of Maryland created a coalition with the main local actors. It is especially useful as the coordination challenges around the line are huge: it is implemented in two counties, and it will be connected to the existing metro, bus and train networks.
The Purple Line Corridor Coalition or PLCC was launched in 2013 as a multi-sector coalition gathering, among others, the University of Maryland, the local counties governments, immigrant advocacy organizations, and affordable housing organization. They signed the Community Development Agreement (CDA) in order to build more a sustainable corridor along the line, and to go “beyond the tracks” through four main goals:
- First, one of the most challenging objectives is to ensure housing opportunities for all, especially low- and moderate-income residents. The PLCC aims at achieving a zero net loss of the 17.000 units currently affordable to households which are under 60% of the average median income. A dedicated Housing Accelerator Action Team has been set up for that matter with a Housing Action Plan released in December 2019 and which details steps to be taken to maintain access to affordable housing.
- Another important aspect is to support small, local and diverse businesses, both during and after the construction period which can cause some disruption and is aggravated by the current covid situation.
- They also aim at building a thriving labor market, with well-trained workers that are well-matched with employers in skills and location. A certain proportion of the population are immigrant and/or low-income residents in the community, and the CDA makes sure they get their share of the construction job and that the economic development generated by the Purple Line will not only bring new people but that it will create jobs for current communities.
- Finally, the PLCC aims at creating vibrant and sustainable communities along the stations which will enhance health in the neighborhoods, develop a sense of place and local culture, and increase the overall wellbeing of its inhabitants. A dedicated team is doing work on measuring the urban forms that exist around stations and identifying amenities that are attributes of vibrant communities such as existence of green spaces and open markets.
In order to support advances of the CDA agenda and make progress on all four areas described above, the PLCC also established an Equity Leadership Council which helps connect policymakers and legislators at the federal, state and local level to create a supportive policy environment favorable to an equitable community development.
Among the PLCC’s successes so far, it managed to collect $5M in grant from JP Morgan Chase’s PRO Neighborhoods investment program for affordable housing, $2M from the Federal Transit Administration to draft a TOD plan for the entire corridor, and as over $5M were invested in affordable housing through Kaiser Permanente, a health care company which recognizes the impact of housing for public health.
The University of Maryland appears to be a key player in this coalition. In addition to its indispensable support in the coordination of the multiple actors, UMD provides several tools to oversee the construction and its consequences in the corridor. The data dashboard provides a snapshot of the area and its evolution, regarding labor market, local businesses, neighborhood identity and housing choices. Data collection started before the line runs. As a consequence, it will help local authorities to measure and monitor the impacts of the line. The GIS multifamily housing data is also a powerful tool to monitor the evolution of rents. It has already shown its utility as rents began rising especially around new stations. Using a software called Sugar Access (now CUBE Access), researchers can forecast different scenarios of accessibility evolutions, to measure new access to jobs, healthcare, etc. Finally, the Mapcraft tool helps planners to identify the real estate projects that will become financially affordable thanks to the development induced by the Purple Line.
Grand tasks still await the PLCC: formalizing and expanding the coalition, conducting a corridor-wide transportation and TOD analysis, designing a comprehensive economic development and business plan, and preparing a detailed TOD finance and implementation strategy.
All these matters will be as many axes of work for the PLCC in the years to come, to make sure the Purple Line benefits the inhabitants of the greater Washington, DC area from all kinds of social classes.
Putting public value at the center of planning and the importance of sharing experiences
Nacima Baron concluded the seminar by synthesizing the huge challenges of urban planning around new or refurbished transport infrastructures and emphasized the benefits of transatlantic collaboration. Technology is evolving rapidly: new mobility solutions are emerging that change user behavior and transform we think about transport. At the same time, new digital tools are being developed in order to map, model and visualize these new realities. But beyond trying to play catch up with technology, there is also a strong need for both retrospective and prospective long-term analysis. Indeed, it is important to acknowledge that the inherited structural dimension and the current morphology of cities create a deep path dependency that can constrain the transformation of cities and makes planning transitions difficult. Implementing new infrastructures that can adapt with the existing ones or trying to change user behavior through urban design interventions are not easy tasks.
In the end, whether we take the more technologically-led or the more structuralist perspective on planning transport infrastructure, it is critical that we keep in mind the overall objective of increasing public value through planning, that we remind ourselves to follow a user-oriented vision and to design for user participation in the planning process. Reflections on the way we plan, and for whom we plan should be a constant focus.
In this sense, the experiences shared through this webinar are very useful, not only for reflection and research but also as elements for advocating change to policymakers and various stakeholders in both France and the US.

ENVE's Road Fork is the fork by which all others are judged, built for road cyclists looking for the optimal balance of weight, strength, and stiffness. When everyone was turning away from the fork aftermarket, we focused our efforts on creating the best aftermarket fork we could. By following our mantra of functional simplicity, we developed a manufacturing process that allows the fibers in an ENVE fork to run continuously from the top of the steerer to the bottom of the drop-outs. The ENVE forks feature a hollow one-piece design free of bonding or drilling, and the brake bolt hole is molded into the crown, allowing for additional weight savings and strength. You can literally put an ENVE fork on a bike within minutes of it leaving the mold. While this manner of construction is novel, the real win is that the majority of artisan frame builders and customers choose ENVE as their fork of choice due to its confident on-road performance and handling characteristics.
The ultimate carbon fiber disc brake compatible cyclocross fork. ENVE created this fork because we love cyclocross racing and gravel road adventures. Like all ENVE products, this fork was developed from a desire to improve the ride experience. In this case they knew that a thru-axle would make for a better tracking and braking front end. A quiet ride is also a priority, so the addition of a thru-axle means less rotor rub and caliper adjustments. Because the majority of time isn’t spent racing under UCI rule, they made this fork compatible with high volume tires — you can run up to a 45mm (1.9-inch) tire with a 700c wheel and up to a 50mm (2.0-inch) tire if you are running 650B. Using our proprietary molding methods, the thru axle disc cyclocross fork offers the ultimate in cyclocross and gravel road bike performance. From steerer tube to dropout the forks are constructed in one piece, which equates to a very efficient structure that yields a lightweight and highly durable product. The front thru-axle diameter is optimized for road and cyclocross disc applications at 12mm.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed today that Iran has successfully test fired a new medium-range missile capable of striking as far as Israel or southern Europe. The Iranian President told a cheering crowd that the military had launched a surface-to-surface missile called Sejil-2 which has a range of about 1,200 miles.
“I was told that the missile is able to go beyond the atmosphere then come back and hit its target. It works on solid fuel,” Mr Ahamdinejad said during a speech in Semnan, northern Iran. “The defence minister told me today that we launched a Sejil-2 missile, which is a two-stage missile and it has reached the intended target.” (Sumber Yahoo)

600-hp DB11 Set to Debut at Palexpo
Thanks to Carscoops, we know now what the Tuesday Aston Martin gimmick will look like. Today (or probably tomorrow), Aston is going to premiere its DB11 super coupe. So it would seem to turn over a new leaf for the British carmaker to gain from the Mercedes partnership.
According to the images leaked, it becomes apparent that the previous DB10 concept spotted in Spectre movie, has dramatically affected the whole DB11 appearance. However, the latter is based on the VH platform having dropped out the AMG architecture. The roof and the arches seem to be taken from the DBX crossover; the larger grille with bolder details bears the impact of the Centenary Edition concept. As a result, the 600-hp coupe runs on a practical level more, as contrasted to high-end futuristic Bondiana concepts. Worse luck, there’s no news about the vehicle inside – the DB11 is supposed to have a common electrical stuffing (like the digital instrument panel) with the German S-Class Coupe model. Along with that, a new 5.2-litre twin Turbo V12 has been confirmed by the brand.

We’ve heard a lot recently about how this recession is affecting men’s jobs more than women’s. But while women’s relative labor-force participation rises in recessions, most of the jobs women hold on to earn small wages and low status. In the long-term, recessions can have very negative effects on women’s careers — both at the individual and national levels. Gains for women earned through years of effort may be swept away in the undertow of layoffs, when flexibility and diversity efforts suddenly disappear.
Women’s movement up business ladders and through glass ceilings is endangered right now. Early reports suggest that on Wall Street, a disproportionate number of women overall and almost all those hired in through firms’ “opt-in” programs to work flex time have been let go. Little thought is being given to maintaining diversity as layoff decisions are made. This could have huge negative effect long-term. One financial insider (who requests anonymity in sensitive times) observes about the downturn: “In this industry, it definitely set women’s progress back at least 20 years.”
The current issue of Forbes documents a resurgence of sexism in the finance field — “In the worst financial crash since the Depression, financial services and insurance firms have cut 260,000 jobs. Seventy-two percent of the missing workers laid off have been women, even though they constituted 64% of employment before the crash began.”
Women overall earn a lot less than men do because many industries are still strongly sex-segregated, often because women with kids need part-time or otherwise flexible work. Historically the jobs offering such arrangements have paid less.
But the professions are not as gendered as they used to be, and some women do make high wages. Additionally, once sufficient numbers of women reach positions of influence within business and government, they change the gender-dynamics of the workplace at all levels, introducing family-friendly policies and challenging the gendering of the pay structure. The work still gets done, but on a new, more flexible schedule. It takes a while to establish these new dynamics, which allow women to contribute more fully to the national economy.
While women comprise only 15.2% of boards of directors and 3% of Fortune 500 CEOs, they hold 50.6% of professional and management positions. As a result, 79% of businesses reported offering some flex options in 2008, the pay equity bill is now law, and we have several initiatives in Congress to put all workers on an equal playing field.
Progress has been made, but the recession could halt it, and not just in the finance world. In troubled economic times the historical tendency has been to send the ladies with higher-status jobs back home, or down ladder, pushing them out not just through individual actions but through policy changes and negative media messages.
In the Depression, working women were scapegoated for men’s lack of jobs, and the group’s career progress was set back for decades. Similarly, in the recessions of the 70s and 80s and in this decade, women’s progress up ladder was slowed by a hostile environment that paralyzed the EEOC, undermined access to abortion and birth control, and portrayed women’s job losses as the result of a choice to stay home.
When recessions past ended, laid-off men returned to good jobs. Women remained largely in dead-end, low-wage work. With their collective status diminished, post-recessionary women had less ability to influence business policy than before the recession, and the system remained biased in favor of people without care-giving commitments (remember that these are not “merely personal” commitments, they are essential to the running of the nation). Eventually the trickle up began again, but the recessionary cycle ensured that it remained just a trickle. Recessionary setbacks have been a big part of the answer to the question “Why has women’s progress been so slow?” The Wall Street example makes it clear that long-term setbacks could occur again now.

What are the possibilities of Sergio Perez winning this year Monaco grand prix race sport?
One of the impressing things in the racing sport is the participation of race drivers that are involved. This has made the sport more exciting, and having to see new faces participating in this race can be enlightening. In this year Monaco grand prix, just like the precious year, Sergio Perez stands more chance of winning this grand prix. Meanwhile, we have to look into the possibilities of winning the Monaco grand prix by Perez.
Top F1 driver in the championship
So many teams are working earnestly to beat down the Red Bull by playing catch up in this grand prix. This determination is making the game more exciting than the previous ones. Sergio Perez, having won the previous championship, other teams are working on breaking the record this time. Moreover, Charles LeClec will not want to make the same mistakes of the previous year. Search for resources here by reading this article.
This will be really tough as Perez has to face all these teams opting for the grand prix championship. Being the top F1 driver is a great tool that can make this driver win this year Monaco grand prix. Red Bull is the dominating F1 team with a lot of achievement so far in the race sport. This gives Perez an upper hand. Though nothing can be concluded now, having to see the determination of other teams to be the next winner of Monaco grand prix.
Being a top F1 driver with a lot of achievement is not Perez key to success when it comes to race sport. His confidence is the engine that makes him moving and doing well in this game. His first confidence relies on in his ability of determining cars limits. This helps in knowing what spot car is fit for each race competition. With this method, added to his abilities, Sergio Perez stands greater chance of winning irrespective of the rivals around.
This confidence equally helps in defining the kind of rivals you will be facing during the race. Not only will he study his own car, but that of others too. This will help in calculating his probabilities in each race before engaging himself. Perez might not be the only one with this ability, but he practices much of this to ensure winnings. The other thing about his confidence is attached to how he adapts to pressures. Pressure is something you must be ready for in race sport.
His sport car and equipment
As a race driver, Perez has achieved a lot and has made a way for himself to the top in F1 championship. Just like football current best players, he is one of the best in street tracks and in anything sport race. But his sport car plays a big role in his achievement, even in that of this year Monaco grand prix. Perez has won 6 grand prix with a career point of 1318.
This racing driver uses a McLaren 740S equipped with V8 engine generating a staggering 7200 horsepower. This car is so incredible that you can use it for any race without any break down. Sergio Perez is very watchful of his choice of sport car, and to ensure he wins, he opts for the best and latest cars. In addition to the car, equipment is vital. Perez has all it takes to win this prix.

ROBESON COUNTY, NC (WMBF) - As Hurricane Michael is set to barrel through the Carolinas, places like Robeson County are making preparations in the midst of recovery from the reckoning of Hurricane Florence. Wednesday morning department heads, including some personnel from North Carolina Emergency Management, held their second meeting in preparation for Hurricane Michael. Emily Jones, the spokesperson for Robeson County, said emergency departments are making sure they have resources in place if needed and continue to watch the storm. Jones said although this storm won’t be as strong for North Carolina as Florence was, it may add to the damage. She said heavy rain may lead to flooding for some places, especially for those who live in low lying areas. The wet ground in most areas will also make it easier for winds to topple weakened trees and perhaps cause power outages.
“They are many people that are wanting tarps on their roofs, they want to board their house up," Jones said.
Right now, Jones said the focus is about making sure the work already done to rebuild homes is not destroyed in the storm. “We have so many organizations that are here helping to get people back in their homes and now those same homes they’re trying to make sure to get them prepared,” Jones said. One of those organizations is Hope Force, a disaster relief volunteer group. Manager Joey Stoltzfus said the group arrived in Lumberton 4 weeks ago to help out.
"We go in and remove the yuck and the muck, the dry walls, the floors and start the healing process for the house," Stoltzfus said. It's a process, he said, that isn’t easy when you're devastated with back to back storms. "When it starts raining again like this... they just recovered from Matthew, just slain by Florence and now it starts to rain. It can be another trigger event for them," Stoltzfus said.However, that's where groups like Hope Force come in and with a helping hand can hopefully ease some of the pain."When you're devastated and someone comes along and love on you in practical ways, this is how we choose to love on people by helping them get their house cleaned out," Stoltzfus said.

What age is a Xennial?
There’s a term for people born in the early ’80s who don’t feel like a millennial or a Gen Xer.
Here’s everything we know about it.
Xennials are a “micro-generation” born between 1977 and 1985..
What are Millennials known for?
Nurtured and pampered by parents who didn’t want to make the mistakes of the previous generation, millennials are confident, ambitious, and achievement-oriented. They also have high expectations of their employers, tend to seek new challenges at work, and aren’t afraid to question authority.
What years are generation Alpha?
Generational definitions are most useful when they span a set age range and so allow meaningful comparisons across generations. That is why the generations today each span 15 years with Generation Y (Millennials) born from 1980 to 1994; Generation Z from 1995 to 2009 and Generation Alpha from 2010 to 2024.
What birth years are considered Millennials?
Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019) is considered a Millennial, and anyone born from 1997 onward is part of a new generation.
What are the 6 generations?
Here are the birth years for each generation:Gen Z, iGen, or Centennials: Born 1996 – TBD.Millennials or Gen Y: Born 1977 – 1995.Generation X: Born 1965 – 1976.Baby Boomers: Born 1946 – 1964.Traditionalists or Silent Generation: Born 1945 and before.
Why are Millennials called Millennials?
Terminology and etymology. Members of this demographic cohort are known as millennials because the oldest became adults around the turn of the third millennium A.D. Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe, known for creating the Strauss–Howe generational theory, are widely credited with naming the millennials.
What is 1978 generation called?
Researchers and popular media typically use birth years around 1965 to 1980 to define Generation Xers, although some sources use birth years beginning as early as 1960 and ending somewhere from 1977 to 1985. By this definition and U.S. Census data, there are 65.2 million Gen Xers in the United States as of 2019.
Are people born in the 70s Millennials?
Millennials. While many may flippantly describe all young people as millennials, the term is actually understood to refer to people who were born in the time period ranging from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s and early 2000s.
What is the current generation called?
Generation Z (or simply Gen Z) is the demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha. Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years.
What generation is Boomer?
Which Generation are You?Generation NameBirths StartBirths EndBaby Boomer Generation19461964Generation X (Baby Bust)19651979Xennials19751985Millennials Generation Y, Gen Next198019946 more rows
Is 1982 considered a millennial?
Defined as the generation born between 1982 and 2004, millennials are aged between 13 and 35. The generation before, Gen X, spanned another 20 years, beginning in 1961 and ending in 1981.
Are Xennials a real generation?
According to Pew Research, members of Generation X were born between 1965 and 1980 and Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996. Xennials, though, were born some time between 1977 and 1983.
Are you Millennial or Gen Z?
Generation X: Born 1965-1980 (39-54 years old) Millennials: Born 1981-1996 (23-38 years old) Generation Z: Born 1997-2012 (7-22 years old)
What is the 1979 generation called?
Gen X: Gen X was born between 1965 and 1979/80 and are currently between 40-55 years old (65.2 million people in U.S.) Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1981 and 1994/6.
Is Xennial a thing?
It’s a word that refers to people who were born on the cusp between Generation X and the millennials. … The term Xennial doesn’t exist for the sole purpose of making old millennials feel better about themselves. It’s a thing because it simply resonates so deeply with those of us born between 1977-1983.
What are older Millennials called?
The neologistic term Xennials is a portmanteau blending the words Generation X and Millennials to describe a “micro-generation” or “cross-over generation” of people whose birth years are between the late 1970s and the early to mid-1980s.
What is the 70s generation called?
Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964. Gen X, born between 1965 and 1976. Millennials, born between 1977 and 1997. Gen 2020, born after 1997.

Wishing all customers and friends of Erich's
Wonderful Christmas and a Peaceful New Year
During our celebrations let us not forget about all the people who have lost loved ones, especially the 20 innocent kids in Newtown, CT who just got killed a few days before Christmas
The loss of loved ones turn our life upside down.
Our world as we knew it has changed and
those changes require that we in turn
adjust to a new "normal"
Rest in peace!


We are great fans of the Safe Rider training scheme to help cut the number of motorbike deaths and serious injuries.
A joint initiative between Suffolk and Norfolk police, the one-day workshops are aimed at fully-qualified riders, from post-test novices to experienced riders, who want to improve their skills.
The dates for this year’s workshops, usually on Saturdays, are:
Director Rob Walters, who has done the Safe Rider course, said: “We support Safe Rider, and have for many years, and many of our staff have done it.
“It’s something we feel is very important and would recommend it.”
The relaxed sessions, which are about education rather than enforcement, introduce riders to the police roadcraft system, the cornerstone of police riding.
Riders get professional advice about their strengths and weaknesses, a demonstration ride by a police officer and an assessment of their riding with written feedback.
The ride out groups are a maximum of three riders to one police officer.
The workshops are held at Martlesham Heath police HQ or Orwell Motorcycles.
Participants do some preparation reading on the roadcraft system, particularly positioning and cornering, which will be discussed in depth on the escorted ride out.
Workshops cost £50. Riders aged under 25 get 50% off and it is free for the first six of those to book.
To reserve a place call PC Simon Myall or PC Andy Masterson in the Motorcycle Casualty Reduction Team on 01473 613888 extension 3722 or email email@example.com

History of Blackjack - Short Overview
This card game has a very rich history but certainly one of the events everybody wants to know where the very beginning was. All the sources give us the same information about the motherland of blackjack. This is France. Blackjack was born and first noticed there in the 18th century and became popular in other countries (particularly, in the USA) in early 1900’s.
Blackjack has a lot of such-called “twins” – card games which are very alike with blackjack but have very small differences in rules with it. For example, we can speak about the card game which was very popular in Spain and called One and Thirty. According to the rules of this game, player had to get 31 points with no more than 3 cards. Sounds similar, isn't it?
Blackjack had its twins also in other countries such as:
- Italy (the game was called Seven and a Half)
- Russia (the game was called Ochko or 21)
- France (the game was called Vingt Et Un. Now it is considered to be the father of blackjack though the rules of these two games are a little bit different).
When blackjack came from Europe to America it was not actually very popular. Fans of this game should thank to French colonists which brought their card game “21” to America with them. The rules were a little bit changed then and the game got its modern name “blackjack”, so the game became popular and loved throughout many places. Even now, in our modern world, when all of us think that there is nothing new to invent, blackjack goes through some development and improvements thanks to modern technologies and the Internet. A lot of blackjack casinos can be found on the Internet today. So, even lazy people who do not like going outside can still get a pleasure from their favourite game.

Repos 70 Graduated Compression Tights
The average compression of 10/15 mmHg is suitable for those traveling by plane, for those who have to stand for many hours or, on the contrary, for those who are often seated and sedentary. By improving venous return and oxygenation of the blood, it helps to remove the sense of heaviness and fatigue from the legs.
Thanks to the pressure exerted, the whole tights are slightly containing, from the foot to the bodice.
The bodice is still naked because no braghetta line is visible on the thigh and slims the leg making it more elegant.
The toe is semi-reinforced. The fingers remain visible but the risk of stretch marks, especially while wearing the tights, is reduced thanks to the greater coverage and resistance.
Repos 70 tights do not pinch. The pinch is given by the core of the elastane thread (necessary to give elasticity), which remains uncovered and rubs against the leg. In Repos 70, the elastane is completely covered with polyamide, which, by wrapping it, makes it slide on the skin. A very high quality yarn that gives a special comfort.
The tights are finished with fine details, such as the flat seam, invisible under clothing, and the cotton gusset, for greater wearing comfort, hygiene and breathability. The strap (the elastic waistband) is a great strength of the Oroblù socks, because it is designed not to go down and not to tighten.
|Composition||81% POLYAMIDE - 19% ELASTANE|

UF engineers capture top honors during hacker event
Two University of Florida security engineers have taken the advice of Sun Tzu, the ancient military strategist who proclaimed that "to know your enemy, you must become your enemy."
Jordan Wiens and John Sawyer, engineers charged with protecting UF's computer systems from hackers, recently won one of the world's largest annual hacker competitions. The DefCon "Capture the Flag" competition, held earlier this month in Las Vegas, challenges security professionals and other computer experts to locate vulnerabilities in software and exploit them with hacker techniques.
Wiens and Sawyer, both of whom work as security engineers for UF's IT Security Team, were part of an eight-member team that participated in the competition.
DefCon's "Capture the Flag" competition is a cyber version of the popular children's game. Players use hacker muscle to "steal" flags, which are represented by 32 digits hidden throughout files on a server. Winners received a black badge that will get them into all future DefCon competitions, along with leather jackets embossed with the event's logo.
As the state Board of Governors listened to UF representatives explain debts in the university's largest college Thursday, one board member noted that all universities are faced with unique budget issues not shared in the corporate environment.
"We live in a strange world with universities where the motivation is to spend all your money," said Lynn Pappas, chair of the Board of Governors' auditing committee and a graduate of UF's Levin College of Law.
UF trustees appeared before the board, which oversees state universities, in Orlando. Trustees worked to assure the board that the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' fiscal problems in the past three years stemmed from going over budget and have not been the result of any malfeasance. The college is now some $5.8 million in debt with a projected debt of $2.9 million if cuts aren't made this year, according to UF officials.
Santa Fe Community College ranks high in state and national ratings for the most associates degrees issued by a community college.
The Alachua County college of about 16,000 students is 14th in the U.S. and fifth in the state, according to the June 19 issue of Community College Week.
According to the Community College Week study, SFCC awarded 2,340 degrees with a student population of 15,741. Miami Dade College topped the list with 6,649 degrees awarded and a student population of 164,786.
Other top-ranked Florida schools included Valencia Community College, which came in third on the list; Broward Community College, which came in fourth; and Florida Community College at Jacksonville, which came in sixth.

They toasted to progress in Europe's capitals last week. On Tuesday, the Treaty of Lisbon went into effect, bringing the nations of the European Union one step closer to the unity the continent's elite has been working toward for over 50 years.
But the treaty's implementation fell just days after a milestone of a different sort: a referendum in Switzerland, long famous for religious tolerance, in which 57.5 percent of voters chose to ban the nation's Muslims from building minarets.
Switzerland isn't an EU member state, but the minaret moment could have happened almost anywhere in Europe nowadays - in France, where officials have floated the possibility of banning the burka; in Britain, which elected two representatives of the fascistic, anti-Islamic British National Party to the European Parliament last spring; in Italy, where a bill introduced this year would ban mosque construction and restrict the Islamic call to prayer.
If the more perfect union promised by the Lisbon Treaty is the European elite's greatest triumph, the failure to successfully integrate millions of Muslim immigrants represents its greatest failure. And the two are intertwined: They're both the fruits of the high-handed, often undemocratic approach to politics that Europe's leaders have cultivated in their quest for unity. The European Union probably wouldn't exist in its current form if the continent's elites hadn't been willing to ignore popular sentiment. (The Lisbon Treaty, for instance, was deliberately designed to bypass most European voters, after a proposed EU Constitution was torpedoed by referendums in France and the Netherlands in 2005.) But this political style - forge a consensus among the establishment, and assume you can contain any backlash that develops - is also how the continent came to accept millions of Muslim immigrants, despite the absence of a popular consensus on the issue, or a plan for how to integrate them.
The immigrants came first as guest workers, recruited after World War II to relieve labor shortages, and then as beneficiaries of generous asylum and family reunification laws, designed to salve Europe's post-colonial conscience. The European elites assumed that the divide between Islam and the West was as antiquated as scimitars and broadswords, and that a liberal, multicultural, post-Christian federation would have no difficulty absorbing new arrivals from more traditional societies. And they decided, too - as Christopher Caldwell writes in "Reflections on the Revolution in Europe," his wonderfully mordant chronicle of Europe's Islamic dilemma - that a liberal immigration policy "involve(s) the sort of nonnegotiable moral duties that you don't vote on."
Better if they had let their voters choose. The rate of immigration might have been slower, and the efforts to integrate the new arrivals more strenuous. Instead, Europe's leaders ended up creating a clash of civilizations inside their own frontiers. Millions of Muslims have accepted European norms. But millions have not. This means polygamy in Sweden; radical mosques in Britain's fading industrial cities; riots over affronts to the Prophet Muhammad in Denmark; and religiously inspired murder in the Netherlands. It means terrorism, and the threat of terrorism, from London to Madrid. And it means a rising backlash, in which European voters support extreme measures and extremist parties because their politicians don't seem to have anything to say about the problem.
In fairness, it isn't clear exactly what those leaders could offer at this point. They can't undo decades of migration. A large Muslim minority is in Europe to stay. Persisting with the establishment's approach makes a certain sense: keep a lid on prejudice, tamp down extremism, and hope that time will transform the zealous Islam of recent immigrants into a more liberal form of faith, and make the conflict go away.
Or least keep it manageable. Caldwell's book, the best on the subject to date, has a deeply pessimistic tone, but it shies away from specific predictions about the European future. Other writers are less circumspect, envisioning a Muslim-majority "Eurabia" in which Shariah has as much clout as liberalism. But even a decadent West is probably stronger than this. The most likely scenario for Europe isn't dhimmitude; it's a long period of tension, punctuated by spasms of violence, that makes the continent a more unpleasant place without fundamentally transforming it.
This is cold comfort, though, if you have to live under the shadow of violence. Just ask the Swiss, who spent last week worrying about the possibility that the minaret vote might make them a target for Islamist terrorism.
They're right to worry. And all of Europe has to worry as well, thanks to their leaders' folly - now, and for many years to come.

OK, I found some promising links-
This link includes an example inset of part of San Juan. Not as granular as the NOAA photographs, still, looks helpful.
Much more detailed files available for download. I hope they've gotten to the western half of the island by now.
These satellite images have likely damaged areas marked. The files can be download as png (not too helpful, file < MB) , a 21.7 MB HE5 file, or multiple geotiff files, which have, by far, the most data.
Text that accompanies geotiff files:
"ARIA Damage Proxy Map v0.4
The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and Caltech, also in Pasadena, created this Damage Proxy Map (DPM) depicting areas of Eastern Puerto Rico that are likely damaged (shown by red and yellow pixels) as a result of Hurricane Maria (Category 4 at landfall in Puerto Rico on Sept. 20, 2017). The map is derived from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images from the Copernicus Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B satellites, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA). The images were taken before (Mar. 25, 2017) and after (Sept. 21, 2017) the landfall of the storm.
The map covers an area of 169 by 96 kilometers. Each pixel measures about 30 meters across. The color variation from yellow to red indicates increasingly more significant ground surface change. Preliminary validation was done by comparing the anecdotal reports of damage. This damage proxy map should be used as guidance to identify damaged areas, and may be less reliable over vegetated areas and flooded areas. Sentinel-1 data were accessed through the Copernicus Open Access Hub. The image contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2017), processed by ESA and analyzed by the NASA-JPL/Caltech ARIA team.

Event Preview | Savannah River Brewing Co.’s Fall Beer Dinner
Savannah River Brewing Co. is very excited to be partnering with Chef Kyle McCloud of Mack’s Street Eats for the brewery’s first ever beer dinner. They will be opening their doors for guests to experience an exquisite five-course meal paired alongside their flagship beers and an exclusively brewed beer for the event. The “Fall Beer Dinner”, as they’ve optimistically named it, is set for November 8, 2017 from 6:30pm to 9:00pm.
Born out of a sidebar conversation between Chef Kyle and the taproom manager, Ashlie Arsenault, the Fall Beer Dinner was originally a fun and cool idea that turned into an opportunity to expand the brewery’s reach. The brewery hopes to share with locals how multidimensional beer can be when paired with different foods, highlighting different nuances in the beer’s profile. Savannah River Brewing is hoping to make this a seasonal event. This will allow the brewery to feature a seasonal menu paired with their core beers and specialty brews each time. However, that depends largely on the turnout of this first event.
The dinner will focus on the flavors of fall in the south – featuring items like roasted squash bisque and sausage stuffed pork loin. Included with the dinner are a five-course meal, five 9oz beers paired with each course, one 9oz souvenir glass to take home, and a tour of the brewery following the dinner. Each entree is specifically designed to be paired with one of the brewery’s beers. Chef Kyle and one of the brewers will team up that night to explain how each plate and glass pairs with one another as they are served and answer any questions from guests. Being poured alongside each course is Savannah River Brewing’s No Jacket Required Pilsner, Savannah IPA, Witty Belgian Witbier, Westobou Amber Ale, and a very specially brewed Wired Dynamite Brown Ale with roasted cacao nibs.
Wired Dynamite Brown Ale uses their unfiltered flagship American brown ale spiked with coffee beans from Buona Caffe. The brewery’s coffee libations have been a crowd favorite for locals and usually blow the first night or two on tap. This particular iteration will feature Nicaraguan Selva coffee beans. Graydon Brown, head brewer, and Adam Fulmer, assistant brewer, will then add roasted cacao nibs to the batch specially for the Fall Beer Dinner. This will be the first time the brewery has added roasted cacao nibs to their Wired Dynamite Brown Ale, much less the standard version – Dynamite Brown Ale. Fulmer expects the cacao to add to the bitterness and accentuate the coffee beans with big chocolate notes dancing on the palate. Think Ghirardelli dark chocolate bars with coffee beans all melted in a glass. Regardless, it is guaranteed to go well with that maple bourbon bread pudding.
