I am using .NET Core. I created image folder. and added database. But I wanna show image in table. I have another setting. Can anyone help me ?
TProjects proje = new TProjects(); if (resimyolu != null) { proje.CatId = catid; proje.Baslik = baslik; proje.İcerik = icerik; var path = Path.Combine( Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "wwwroot/resimler", resimyolu.FileName); var stream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create); proje.ResimYolu = resimyolu.FileName; } port.TProjects.Add(proje); port.SaveChanges();
@foreach (var item in Model) {

 @item.Id	 @item.Baslik	 @item.İcerik	 	  <button class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target=".@item.Id"> Düzenle </button>

There's not enough detail to understand the problem you are trying to solve. It look like you have multiple approaches for rendering an image.
I created a sample that illustrates how to populate an img tag using openly published standards that you can find in any beginning level tutorial.
[HttpGet] public IActionResult ImageDemo() { //Mock image path result set List<string> images = new List<string>() { @"/img/switch.png", @"/img/switch.png" }; return View(images); }
@model List<string> @{ ViewData["Title"] = "ImageDemo"; }
ImageDemo

 @foreach(string s in Model) {  }

I shared the code above.
Here, when saving, I add the images in the images folder in wwwroot and keep the name of the image in the database.
Then I do not want to show the picture on the page.
This was happening when using mvc. But .net core also has a different setting.

AliyilmazI shared the code above.
Like many of your posts, you do not share enough detail for the community to debug your code. We need, at least, the file path. That's why I provided a very basic demo that illustrates how to populate a relative path to an "img" folder in the application root. The example works in MVC and Core.
AliyilmazBut .net core also has a different setting.
Not clear.

I shared debug code. can you click Image you can see my debug code.
And do you understand my problem?
Sep 28, 2019 03:11 PM|mgebhard|LINK
AliyilmazAnd do you understand my problem?
I do not understand the problem and I cannot reproduce this issue. I suspect the image is not located in the expected folder. For the thrid time, have you tried simply opening dev tools and looking at the image path? Have you verified the image path exists in the image path found in the HTML?
Seeing the debug screen makes the problem even more confusing, I'm guessing you are using some 3rd party library that you have not told us about.

"Then I do not want to show the picture on the page."
I assume you meant you DO want to show the image.
If the image doesn't show in the table, look at the page source with developer tools and see what the image source path is. Is @item.ResimYolu being passed to your page?

Sep 28, 2019 08:18 PM|mgebhard|LINK
Did you enable the static fie handler in the startup.cs file? Have you tried view the HTML in the browser's dev tools? Have you tried opening the file from your browser's address bar? Are you using a 3rd party library?
I can't reproduce this error. I'm guessing you are doing something that you are not telling us.

Hi Aliyilmaz,
Could you share more detailed code that could reproduce your issue?
If your image has been uploaded to wwwroot/resimler folder,you could use the following code to show the image:

And your Configure method in Startup.cs should be like below:
app.UseMvc(routes =>
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

Seems you have a controller which is supposed to return an image (the name is in the db and you want to retrieve this from a file ?)
So far what the controller code you shown doesn't add at best a row to a db but there is nothing showing how the file content is supposed to be return.
if (resimyolu != null)
might skip filling the object in which case it would have at best default values. IMO your app should be coded for what you expect and in particular it is best if it fails where you have an actual problem rather than testing if something that shoudln't happen happens to prevent a problem and have anyway some other problem later in your app.
Oct 01, 2019 06:01 PM|mgebhard|LINK
AliyilmazBut still I dont get image. I try like this.
Your updated code; Url.Content() is incorrect. Url.Content returns the absolute path of the image. The img tag expects a virtual path.

Ironically, your original construct will work.

This fact is confirmed in you similar threads as well as the sample code above. For example.
// Home/ImageDemo [HttpGet] public IActionResult ImageDemo() { //Mock image path result set List<string> images = new List<string>() { @"switch.png", @"switch.png" }; return View(images); }
@model List<string>
ViewData["Title"] = "ImageDemo";
@foreach(string s in Model)

HTML results.

The community has recommended several times that you take advantage of dev tools to view the HTML source and verify the HTML is expected. View the network trace tool for 404 errors. The community also recommended adding the img URL to the browser's address bar to see if the image renders in the browser. We've received no feedback on the status of these basic troubleshooting steps.
The fact that you have been having such difficulty for several days seems like you might be using a 3rd party library that is causing this issue. The troubleshooting step above will help highlight the bug in your design and code.

A 304 is a cached page. Press ctrl-F5 which forces the browser to refresh all content.

Hi Aliyilmaz,
HTTP 304 is a redirect not an error. It means it is loading the image from the cache. If you have been making changes try clearing your cache or opening the browser in private browsing mode so it won't load from it. It may have cached an image/location that is invalid still which is why it isn't loading.
And could you share a detailed code about your controller action that could reproduce your issue?

Ginger Force Cancer Cell Death More Effectively Than Chemotherapy (How to Use Ginger as an Medicine)
Ginger (lat. Zingiber officinale) has been used since ancient times as a natural remedy in eastern medicine. It has a proven effectiveness against vertiginous problems, nausea and it improves appetite. During the past few decades, other important activities of this plant have been noticed, such as antioxidant activity and anticancer properties. The second feature, activity against cancer cells, is attracting a growing attention.
Anticancer Properties of Ginger
University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center has performed a research which showed that ginger prevent proliferation of cancer cells and improves the effectiveness of other treatment options. Active substances contained in ginger that are responsible for anticancer properties are not strictly defined, but it has been suggested that paradols, gingerols, and shogaols have a crucial role. These are photochemicals that are present in ginger root in low concentrations, so many supplements containing extracts of ginger root are formulated in order to achieve greater concentration.
Ginger and Prostate Cancer
One of the studies investigated effects of ginger on prostate cancer development in mice. They used ginger extract in daily dose of 100mg/kg of bodyweight and got amazing results. Namely, ginger decreased the growth and slowed down the progression of prostate cancer in 56% of cases. Tumor cells were treated with ginger extract both in vivo and in vitro. Another important fact is that ginger did not produce any detectable side effects.
Ginger and Breast Cancer
Another study examined the effects of treatment with ginger on breast cancer cells. Besides form killing breast cancer cells, ginger showed effects on diminishing several important signal molecules within cancer cells that are responsible for metastatic and spreading properties of this aggressive tumor. The researchers concluded that ginger could be a safe and effective treatment for breast cancer in the future, but more investigation is still required.
Ginger and Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer cells were not exceptions when subjected to a solution of ginger powder in one of the recent studies. Turns out that ovarian cancer cells also undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death) as a result of the phytochemicals contained in ginger. Additionally, researchers suggested that besides anticancer activity, ginger supplementation could help people to better handle chemotherapy.
In summary, ginger could be considered a component of future treatments of cancer, giving its effectiveness against different types of tumor cells. Further studies will reveal which substances specifically should be extracted from ginger and what are the appropriate dosages.
How to use ginger as an medicine
The findings that are mentioned above can propose that frequently consuming ginger as part of a healthy eating routine and way of life may help prevent cancer from taking root in the first place. In general, it is not prescribed to take more than 4 g of ginger for each day, though pregnant ladies ought not to take more than 1 g every day.

Four nations lacks interest
ONE of the potential problems with rugby league's Four Nations, which opens with Australia playing New Zealand at Warrington, is that it can hardly avoid comparisons with events on the other side of the world.
Set alongside rugby union's World Cup, the crowds will be smaller, the coverage minimal, the rugby and the off-field behaviour better. There will be more tries than goals. All that can be predicted with some confidence.
There is no denying that league's weakness is its lack of a convincing international dimension. The Four Nations, a concept which is itself a rather inadequate replacement for full tours to and by Great Britain, goes into cold storage after this tournament. It is scheduled to reappear in 2014, after a World Cup here the previous year.
By comparison with either that or rugby union's shindig, this is a condensed, intimate affair. Even four nations could be too many, however.
The concept began as Three Nations, with England, Australia and New Zealand playing each other twice, leading to a final. Provided nobody fell down on the job too badly, that was a guarantee of plenty of competitive rugby.
The worthy motive of encouraging France and Papua New Guinea - the next strata down - has diluted that promise. It seemed an exciting development when Wales beat the French to qualify for this year's tournament; now one rather fears for them.
With a couple of their brighter prospects opting to qualify for England, the talismanic Gareth Thomas retired and the guts kicked out of the professional structure in the Principality by the implosion of Crusaders, it will be a major achievement for Wales - now largely and creditably represented by Welsh-born players - to avoid three heavy defeats, starting with England at Leigh tomorrow.
The title will be decided by the games between the big three, culminating in the final at Elland Road on 19 November. Here, there is much to look forward.
To see the Kangaroos and the Kiwis go head-to-head in a stadium as tight to the touchlines and as atmospheric as the Halliwell Jones is a treat no rugby league follower could resist. Likewise next weekend's double-header at Wembley: England (or rather Great Britain) have a good record against the Aussies in that stadium (or rather its predecessor) and the RFL is confident of topping the 50,000 mark for the two games.
They are part of something of a blitz on London next week, with the rebranding of Harlequins RL (who revert to their old identity as London Broncos), the International Player of the Year awards and all four squads spending time promoting the game in the capital.
The key game could well be at Hull the following weekend, when England and New Zealand should be contesting a place in the final against Australia.
The Kiwis might look well below full power this time, but they have fooled us that way before. In Benji Marshall, they have a player who can take any game by the throat, whilst newcomers such as the full-back, Kevin Locke, and the scrum-half, Kieran Foran, look genuine prospects.
Australia, with that familiar spine of Queensland class and experience, also have some exciting new faces, headed by Akuila Uate, a winger who has the potential to become one of the very best.
Which leaves England, or the United Nations, as disgruntled purists might put it. Coach Steve McNamara's decision to use four players from the southern hemisphere has not pleased everyone, but that tough attitude of "whatever it takes" could be just the ticket.

Vacations are amazing experiences if you plan correctly. Traveling to your destination, however, is not always fun. Packing, finding appropriate transportation, and figuring out where to go and what to do can cause a lot of anxiety. Use the information below to help you plan a trip.
Selecting an aisle seat will always keep your options open. Other than providing a view, the window seat has few benefits where as an aisle seat will enable you unrestricted access to your overhead baggage, the restrooms, airplane staff and will also give you one side that is not bulging with another person or their belongings.
It is important for you to be conscientious of food allergies when you travel to foreign lands. If your food allergy is particularly bad, make sure to express this in their language. You can tell the workers of your condition and inform the doctors if something does happen.
When planning your trip, be flexible with your destination. Though you may have established favorites, it is always fun to mix things up with some new spots. Also, choosing a new destination can offer some savings if your travel budget is tighter.
There are some criminals in foreign cities that pretend to be police officers, so be careful. Do not ever give someone your passport; they may steal it. Walk or drive your own car to a police station if you are asked to. In order to stay safe, never ride in a car with someone you don't know.
Work off your flying anxiety with a jog before you head to the airport. Long flights are taxing on your body and nerves. You may find your back or legs cramping from sitting in the same position for too long. Taking the time to workout before you fly will reduce or even eliminate those cramps.
Off-hour flights can be made bearable with the help of sleep aids. It can be very hard to get sleep on a plane with all the noise, the different surroundings, and the uncomfortable seats. If you have anxiety about flying, get your doctor to prescribe sleeping medicine to get you through your flight. Take the pill shortly after takeoff.
Check your car insurance if you plan to rent a car. Sometimes, you do not need the superfluous insurance that is being sold to you. In several cases, the insurance policies on these vehicles include basic coverage for any third party liability. Look at your policy before leaving home to save money later on.
Spend some time conversing with your fellow passengers at dinner when you are taking a cruise. Many ships place you at large tables with people you've never met. Have fun and make new friends while traveling. You're going to be around them each day and you might even find out more about the ship.
Now you know that traveling can be enjoyable. Next time you're ready to book your vacation, take a look at the tips we have discussed first. Having this information at your disposal is a great stress reliever as it will save your time planning your trip.

SISTER: Oogbadun, Have you watched the episode 15 of the Jenifa's diary?
ME: Season what?
ME: No
Sister: You don miss o.She wanted to start narrating it but I declined, insisting that she should send it to my laptop so that I could watch from there.We got back home at around 7:30 pm after enough "serenren" on the road. my sister branched at my house to send the video to my laptop before left for her house.After she had left, I was the only person in the room, though I was watching videos on my laptop, but I'm yet not comfortable. there was no PHCN light so there was serious Heat in the room.I decided to go outside to enjoy fresh breeze. I quickly took out my laptop and my reading chair to seat directly in-front of my room.After about 10mins of sitting down outside watching videos, the two ladies that I saw in the afternoon came out from their room and were walking out of the main gate, One of them greeted me but I replied "casually" still concentrating on the video I was watching.They both walked pass me and went out of the gate, about 5mins after, one of them came back and that happened to be the one that greeted me.She passed me again and entered into her room, yet I still concentrated on my video.After about 3mins, she came out with a plastic stool and sat down in front of her room. She placed her chair almost beside me and she was pressing phone.There was no conversation for some minutes, but after some minutes of no conversation she got me engaged.
Lady: Sorry Uncle, is that Jenifa's dairy
ME: (I pretended as if I didn't hear what she said. I was actually playing hard to get)
LADY:Repeated the question)
ME:(faced her) Sorry, are you talking to me?
LADY: Yes?
ME: Sorry, I thought you were on call. Yes it's Jenifer's dairy
LADY: and that is episode what?
ME: Episode 15 of the season 3
LADY: Whoa! can I join you in watching it?
ME: I have watched about 3 episodes now. Maybe i should send it to your phone
LADY: oops! I don't have memory card on my phone.
ME: Eeyah, let me start again from the beginning then for you to enjoy.
I restarted the movie so that she could watch the scenes that I have watched.She brought her chair closer to me and we started watching

Rethinking the Human-Readability Infrastructure
Christopher Hall
(University of California at Santa Barbara, USA)
Character encodings and text editing widgets and applications together form the current human-readability infrastructure. We outline an alternative human-readability infrastructure that is simultaneously appropriate for textual formats and binary runtime data structures. Our approach consists of a binary metaformat and corresponding language-independent structure editor. Here we describe our prototype editor, its suitability to supersede text editors, and several case studies that explore its immediate and repeat benefit to various content domains.

Medic: Metaprogramming and Trace-Oriented Debugging
Xiangqi Li and Matthew Flatt
(University of Utah, USA)
Modern programmers enjoy a wealth of high-level and graphical tools for understanding and debugging programs. Nevertheless, programmers often resort to the simple and the time-honored technique of inserting print statements into programs to reveal progress and to expose intermediate values. This trace debugging (a.k.a. printf debugging) technique persists because it has many advantages. Traditional trace debugging also has several drawbacks, including the need to modify the source program and the need for additional tools when trace output becomes too voluminous. Medic, our new debugging and program-exploration tool for Racket, augments the traditional examination of control and state with output processing, metaprogramming, and visualization features. Medic allows programmers to leverage the benefits of trace debugging while addressing many of its drawbacks.

Lively Groups: Shared Behavior in a World of Objects without Classes or Prototypes
Tim Felgentreff, Jens Lincke, Robert Hirschfeld, and Lauritz Thamsen
(HPI, Germany; TU Berlin, Germany)
Development environments which aim to provide short feedback loops to developers must strike a balance between immediacy and the ability to abstract and reuse behavioral modules. The Lively Kernel, a self-supporting, browser-based environment for explorative development supports standard object-oriented programming with classes or prototypes, but also a more immediate, object-centric approach for modifying and programming visible objects directly. This allows users to quickly create graphical prototypes with concrete objects. However, when developing with the object-centric approach, sharing behavior between similar objects becomes cumbersome. Developers must choose to either abstract behavior into classes, scatter code across collaborating objects, or to manually copy code between multiple objects. That is, they must choose between less concrete development, reduced maintainability, or code duplication. In this paper, we propose Lively Groups, an extension to the object-centric development tools of Lively to work on multiple concrete objects. In our approach, developers may dynamically group live objects that share behavior using tags. They can then modify and program such groups as if they were single objects. Our approach scales the Lively Kernel's explorative development approach from one to many objects, while preserving the maintainability of abstractions and the immediacy of concrete objects.

Game Worn Football Jersey
A game worn / game used football collection from the CFL, USFL, WFL, XFL, WLAF, NCAA, NFL, and Arena football leagues.
Los Angeles Express
The 1983 Los Angeles Express
LaRue Harrington - Running Back (Norfolk State)
LaRue Harrington entered the NFL as a 6th round pick (151st overall) of the San Diego Chargers in 1980. Harrington played 4 games for the Chargers in 1980 and carried the ball 4 times for -7 yards. He resurfaced in 1983 with the Los Angeles Express in the USFL for their inaugural season. He led the Express in rushing in 1983 with 547 yards on 143 carries and a touchdown. Harrington also caught 32 passes for 259 yards for the 8-10 Express. Harrington would only see action in the season opener for the Express in 1984, carrying the ball 7 times for 28 yards and also adding 2 catches out of the backfield for 12 yards in a 27-10 loss to the Denver Gold.
Harrington wore this Champion mesh size XL jersey during his tenure with the club. The Express used the same set of jerseys for the first two years of their existence. The team did not initially use nameplates in 1983, instead screening player names directly on the backs of the jerseys. Nameplates were used later to cover the original name when the jerseys were reissued to new players. This one exhibits pretty good game wear with six team repairs along with several impact marks.
Brian Broomell - Quarterback (Temple)
Brian Broomell is in the Temple athletics Hall of Fame and led the Owls to a 28-17 victory over California in the 1979 Garden State Bowl. He once held several passing records at Temple although some have since fallen to Henry Burris and Lee Saltz as offenses opened up. Broomell spent 1980 and 1981 with the Edmonton Eskimos but was buried on the depth chart behind future Hall of Famers Warren Moon and longtime CFL veteran Tom Wilkinson. Broomell signed with the USFL Los Angeles Express and was placed on the team's developmental roster at the end of training camp in 1983 as a reserve to active roster QBs Tom Ramsey and Mike Rae. Broomell never saw action in the USFL regular season as he was released on May 26, 1983 to make room for linebacker John Barefield, who was acquired in a trade from the Denver Gold. After his release from the Express, Broomell returned to the CFL by signing with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He attended training camp and saw preseason action with them in 1983. Broomell was released by the Blue Bombers at the conclusion of camp after the Bombers swung a deal with the British Columbia Lions to acquire quarterback John Fourcade. In the CFL, he completed 3 of 9 passes with 2 interceptions, all with the Eskimos.
This is the jersey Broomell wore for the Express, presumably in the preseason. It has been shortened in length and hemmed with the Champion size L tag re-sewn on the lower left front. It remains in good condition with little evidence of game wear, which is appropriate given Broomell's tenure with the club.
The 1984 Los Angeles Express Cheerleaders
Jeff Hart - Offensive Tackle (Oregon State)
Jeff Hart began his pro career as a 3rd round pick (71st overall) of the San Francisco 49ers in 1975. He played his rookie season there before moving on for a year with the New Orleans Saints in 1976. In 1977, he joined the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and remained with the club for two years, playing 17 games over that time. Hart returned to the NFL in 1979 when he signed with the Baltimore Colts and was a starter for the club over five seasons. In the NFL, he suited up for 99 regular season games. In 1984, Hart was lured to the USFL as part of a spending spree by the Los Angeles Express. He finished his career with the Express in the league's final season of play in 1985.
Hart wore this Champion jersey with the Express in 1984. The jersey was recycled for Hart from the 1983 set when it was worn or prepared to be used by defensive tackle Phil Murphy. Murphy was a 3rd round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 1980 and spent two seasons with the team playing in all 32 regular season games in 1980 and 1981. Murphy played one game for the Express in 1983 before moving on to the Washington Federals. Murphy's name was screened directly on the back of the jersey with Hart's nameplate sewn over top, a trademark of Express jerseys from 1983-84.
Plenty of Good Seats Still Available!
According to the LA Times, the Express debuted before 34,002 fans in 1983. Average attendance in 1983 was 21,376 and dropped to 13,977 in 1984. In 1985, a losing Express team saw crowds so sparse in the 90,000 seat Coliseum that their final home game against the Outlaws was moved to a 5,500 seat stadium at Pierce College. The Express sold out a 1985 preseason game there against Portland.
Tony Boddie - Running Back (Montana State)
Tony Boddie started his pro career by signing with the Los Angeles Express after his selection by the club in the 12th round (144th overall) of the 1983 USFL Draft. He saw the most action as a rookie when he rushed for 403 yards on 109 carries and 3 touchdowns and caught 46 passes for 434 yards and 2 scores. In 1984, Boddie carried the rock just 16 times for 31 yards and added 20 receptions for 170 yards and a major. He was also often used as a kick returner by the Express in 1984 and 1985. Boddie was part of an exclusive group of players to play all three seasons with the Express. The others were DT George Achicha, G Mike Durrette, G Wayne Jones, DB Wymon Henderson, P Jeff Partridge, LB Danny Rich, TE Mike Sherrod, DT Eddie Weaver and WR Jojo Townsell.
After the USFL folded, Boddie was signed by the Denver Broncos. He suited up for one game in 1986, carrying the ball once for 2 yards. He played his final season in 1987 and played in 5 regular season games for the Broncos that year. Boddie rushed the ball 3 times for 7 yards and a score and added 9 catches for 85 yards. He was also active for the playoffs as the Broncos made it to the Super Bowl.
Boddie wore this Medalist Sand-Knit size 46 light mesh jersey for the Express in the final USFL season in 1985. That year, Boddie ran the ball 49 times for 208 yards and a TD and grabbed 17 passes for 124 yards and another score. All identifiers have been screened on. The garment exhibits moderate game wear with several hit marks present, a couple of small unrepaired tears in the left sleeve and a team repair on the back.

With more than half of all Americans aged 12 or over on Facebook, it's no surprise the massive social network has revolutionized the way social scientists conduct and analyze research. The constantly growing body of information created by users as they update, connect, collect and communicate provides researchers with an easily accessible body of data right at their fingertips.
As a result, researchers now publish hundreds of studies on Facebook each year that reveal often surprising data about how social networking influences virtual and real-world relationships.
"We're on the cusp of a new way of doing social science," Harvard sociology professor Nicholas Christakis told The New York Times in a story examining the new link between Facebook and academic research. "Our predecessors could only dream of the kind of data we now have."
In 2011 alone, studies about Facebook or ones using Facebook as a primary source for data have offered insights into how the network affects happiness, how mothers use it to connect with their children, and what percentage of those same mothers end up hiding their profiles.
Unfortunately, it would be impossible to cover every Facebook surprise unveiled by studies over the last year. That said, we've whittled down the list to our top 7 surprising conclusions reached in 2011:

So take me away, I don't mind
But you better promise me, I'll be back in time
I only write in this thing when I have something going on. Mostly. I only publish when I have something going on. I have my weeks/months where I don't necessarily feel like anything is wrong, I just want to be to myself except for the few moments where I come up for air. Though lately it's gotten deeper than it normally does. Despite sticking to home and small events, I generally will tweet or instagram up a storm, but lately I've pretty much fallen off the face of the earth, mostly. Tweets, which have at times been in the range of 20+ per day, have averaged out to about 3 per day over the past 3 months, and even that was usually on Sundays or during Rockets games.

Art is very personal and trust is the basis of every good business relationship
The Rosemont Art Advisory is the result of a diligent and passionate approach. It is based on a qualitative and financial motivation: Investing in art requires proven and established financial methodologies as well as a discreet, loyal and reliable international network of collectors and art industry professionals, intended for HNWI & UHNWI wherever based.
Increasingly, the purchase of fine art and luxury assets has become a viable alternative "store of value" for "high net worth" individuals and families seeking to expand their portfolios and ring fence their assets from certain financial erosion, while avoiding unseen costs and buyer's premiums and, as importantly, incorporating the crucial aspect of pleasure when acquiring art.
The scope of the Rosemont Art Advisory encompasses Old Master Paintings, Modern and Post War Contemporary Art and Impressionists as well as Antiques and Decorative Arts and Fine Jewelry.
Private collectors and corporate clients are thus given a unique opportunity of very discreet and strategic advice encompassing all aspects of the art collecting process, from acquisitions to collection management, market analysis and sales, all the while confirming the authenticity and provenance and furthermore negotiating the terms and conditions on client's behalf.

| 14.6°C Belfast
Jeremy Hunt appeared to drop warnings that a hard Brexit means "people fleeing the UK" after the phrase was photographed in his Commons briefing notes.
The Health Secretary was pictured in Downing Street holding a document which included a response to a forthcoming Commons question from Liberal Democrat former minister Alistair Carmichael about the NHS post-Brexit workforce.
Mr Hunt repeated the first section about the desire to give the 150,000 EU nationals working in the NHS the opportunity to continue doing their "brilliant job".
But the next section photographed said a "Hard Brexit means people fleeing the UK" and criticised the Lib Dem approach to Brexit.
Mr Hunt did not mention this as he replied to Mr Carmichael's follow-up question, which asked if the devolved administrations and recruitment sector will be involved in developing plans.
The Cabinet minister outlined the number of doctors and nurses from the EU who work in the NHS before insisting there is a need for every party to "reassure" them about their "bright and vital future" in the health service.
He attempted to paint a rosier picture in response to a later question by giving the figures for the number of EU doctors and nurses who joined the NHS after the EU referendum.
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Hunt said: "The 150,000 EU nationals working in our health and care services do a brilliant job and we want them to continue doing it.
"I am in regular talks with Cabinet colleagues to inform both domestic workforce plans and the Government's negotiations with the EU."
Mr Carmichael, the Lib Dem home affairs spokesman, thanked Mr Hunt for the answer and added: "You will be aware that actually represents something in excess of 5% of the total workforce within the NHS.
"This is something that is going to have to be addressed, engaging with the recruitment sector, the employment sector and indeed the devolved administrations. Is that the way the minister will handle this?"
Mr Hunt replied: "We absolutely will be taking a UK-wide approach.
"The actual numbers are slightly higher than the numbers you talk about for England, where about 9% of doctors are EU nationals and about 19% of nurses are EU nationals.
"But we are still seeing doctors and nurses coming to the UK and we need to do everything on all sides of this House to reassure them that we see them as having a bright and vital future in the NHS."

BIASC-Staff posted an articleBIASC's 2016 Building Industry Show Focuses on Education and Culminates by Thanking its Leadership and MembersBIASC's 2016 BIS Focuses on Education and Culminates by Thanking its Leadership and Members see more
BIASC.org--Nov 9 and 10, 2016--Riverside,CA--The Building Industry Show (BIS), which was on Wednesday, November 9 and Thursday November 10 at the Riverside Convention Center by the Building Industry Association of Southern California, Inc. (BIASC), "Started the Conversation" by turning its focus towards education.
More than 1,500 attendees came to this year's show not just to mingle with builders, catch up with professionals in the building industry, and discuss new job prospects, but to also participate in the show's new format that sought to engage attendees with informative discussions.
This year the show evolved to do more than provide a place for building industry professionals to catch up with colleagues and discuss new job prospects. BIS included insightful Pop-Up Education presentations that covered a range of topics from discussions of how mobile apps are transforming home building; what you need to know about solar: code requirements to future trends; advanced framing techniques; minimizing costs & increasing efficiency; CEU workshops; to design trends for 2017 among other topics.
The goal was to get BIASC members potential answers to these issues such as the skilled labor shortage that BIS addressed during its first ever Skilled Labor Brain Trust, which connected the employers with the educators of potential employees. The Skilled Labor Brain Trust panel discussion was one of the many rich programs that were included in the price of the show floor pass.
Program organizers, the instructors that train the future skilled labor workforce, and the Building Industry Panelist made up of Thomas Steele, HCI; Tanner Schamber, Schamber Electric; and Bruce Wick, OSHA, were all a part of the education-driven discussion panel.
The topics discussed by the dynamic panel during the event included the current and future needs of employers in the industry, the current training programs, and how to connect graduates with employment.
The Building Industry Show Floor culminated Thursday evening with an award ceremony to honor and recognize BIASC's hard working leadership and dedicated members.

Bold reforms and prudent monetary and fiscal policies by the incoming Narendra Modi government will help the economy to grow at 6.5-7 per cent, says a report.
According to Crisil, the decisive electoral mandate has created the best environment in a long time to bite the bullet on government finances.
Registering their best-ever showing, BJP has won 282 seats in the Lok Sabha polls, becoming the first party after 1984 election to have majority in the Lower House. Its leader Narendra Modi would be taking over as the Prime Minister soon.
The rating agency has listed out five important things — taming inflation, fiscal consolidation, improving asset quality at banks and their recapitalisation, encouraging debt markets and boosting manufacturing and employment — which the new government has to do on a priority basis.
"Such an agenda will improve the country's competitive efficiencies and pave the way for its re-entry into the orbit of 6.5-7 per cent GDP growth in the years to come," Crisil's chief economist Dharmakirti Joshi said.The report said for taming inflation the new government will require to have a better coordination between monetary and fiscal policies and to take steps such as dismantling the APMC Act for reduction of food inflation.
Reduce subsidies
There is also a need to bring in a sea-change in storage and distribution capacities for fruits and vegetables, particularly important in the current year in view of the rising risks of monsoon failure spurred by the El Nino, it added. For fiscal consolidation, Crisil believes this will entail reduction in subsidies and curbing expenditure and ensuring that the money spent on welfare schemes creates durable assets than remain just cash handouts.
It is also critical to simultaneously introduce growth and revenue-enhancing measures such as clearing the long-delayed GST and improving tax compliance, the report said.The rating agency said the country's corporate debt market needs to be fostered for growth to be sustainably funded. "Banks alone cannot deliver the large amount of capital required to build out the country," the report said. Steps to revive the manufacturing sector will be critical.
Clarity on land acquisition, environmental clearances, better infrastructure, and labour law reforms - such as shifting its purview to the states, will be critical to improve the business climate and boost manufacturing, which is in its worst phase in the last two decades, Crisil added.
The manufacturing engine, represented in large measure by micro, small and medium enterprises, needs to do well if its fast-multiplying workforce has to find gainful employment, the report said.
"The lowest-hanging fruits are fast-tracking of projects in pipeline and resolving iron ore and coal mining issues. This will improve the efficiency of capital that is now stuck, pave the way for better returns on investment, create jobs, lift income growth and spur private consumption demand," Crisil's chief executive and managing director Roopa Kudva said.
Crisil, however, said the new government's to-do list to revive the economy is a long one, but unfortunately, there is limited ability to use growth-supportive monetary and fiscal policies.
The report said typically, monetary and fiscal instruments (increase in government spending) are used to prop up a sagging economy in the short run.
"However, the country has run out of such countercyclical policy ammunition as its inflation and deficits remain high and, in fact, need to be trimmed," it added.

Major changes have been brought about in the educational scenario by the Central Board of Secondary Education(CBSE) in the academic year 2017-18.This landmark reform encourages profound learning in students by placing an increased responsibility on part of schools to implement its recommendations in true spirit.
Empowered with a potent combination of Periodic Tests and Examinations, our curricular plan employs various assessment strategies (viz. Project Work, Journals. Seminars, Collaborative Work etc) at appropriate junctures, provide students with feedback on their understanding of key concepts and their application. As academicians and teachers, it offers vital insights on differentiated levels of student comprehension and learning, allowing us to introspect and alter our strategies to facilitate effective learning.
Replacing the Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation(CCE), the uniform system of assessment has been introduced. Adhering to the guidelines of CBSE, our school has adopted the remodeling the assessment structure comprising of two terms in an academic year with 80 marks paper at the end of the term, covering the whole syllabus.
Keeping in mind the holistic approach of education, the co-scholastic aspects and discipline among students are also graded on a five-point grading scale (A to E).
It is important to understand that the uniform system of assessment that has been recommended by the Board requires students to learn a finite set of concepts or lessons and take up the final examination comprising of 100% syllabus.

Venezuela has denied on technicalities Radio Caracas Television's bid to launch two feevees, keeping the web, which frequently criticizes President Hugo Chavez, off the air.
Telco regulator Conatel cited incomplete and inaccurate documents in the case of new web RCTV Mundo and nixed RCTV Intl., forced off the air when it refused to air Chavez's lengthy speeches, because its application to renew its license allegedly missed the deadline.
Local cable and satellite operators dropped RCTV Intl. in compliance with new government regulations that require all producers of national programming to register with Conatel and air mandatory government broadcasts.
RCTV Intl. had refused to do this at first but bowed to the demand under protest in order to recover its signal.
In late February, RCTV director general Marcel Granier unveiled plans to launch RCTV Mundo, which would take advantage of an exemption to the new regs for webs airing at least 70% imported programming. RCTV Mundo was going to feature telenovelas from Latin American alongside news and general entertainment.
This is another setback for Venezuela's oldest broadcaster, which was forced off the terrestrial airwaves in 2007 for its alleged support of Chavez's opponents and has been airing on cable and satellite platforms since then.
RCTV Intl. continues to broadcast to the Caribbean and over the Web, but revs are slim, threatening the jobs of 1,500 employees.

The "Adapting Afghan Communities to Climate-Induced Disaster Risks" project will improve the preparedness and resilience of select Afghan communities to climate-induced disaster risks. The five-year project will improve decisions and implementation of climate-induced disaster risk measures, deploy and effectively utilize community-based early warning systems, support climate-resilient livelihood strategies in targeted community, and strengthen institutional capacities to integrate climate risks and opportunities into national and provincial plans, budgets and policies.
Project Details
As the variability and intensity of extre me weather effects , including floodi ng and landslides (rapid onset) and drought (slow onset) increases, the efforts to manage and respond to climate change induced risks in Afghanistan is significantly challenged. According to the National Adaptation Progr amme of Action (NAPA) , these key climate change hazards in Afghanistan present a threat to ecosystem services and livelihoods. The most vulnerable economic sectors are water and agriculture. In 2012, 383 natural disaster incidents were recorded in 195 dist ricts that resulted in 4,790 deaths, affected 258,364 people and damaged or destroyed 29,374 homes (OCHA, 2012). Most recently, torrential rains in April 2014 led to flash floods, affecting 27 districts in western, northern, and north- eastern provinces, ki lling more than 150 people, affecting 67,000 and displacing 16,000. In May 2014, thousands of people were seriously affected during a mudslide triggered by heavy rains, in Argo District, Badakshan. In addition to loss of lives, climatic hazards also caused extensive damage to assets and property worth millions of dollars. According to a UNISDR report, 80% of the economic loss is due to climate induced disasters caused by floods, drought and extreme winters
The Government of Afghanistan's long-term preferred solution to this worsening problem is to establish efficient and effective mechanisms by which vulnerable communities are better equipped to anticipate and respond to climate change-induced risks. However, the preferred solution is hindered by several political, socio-economic, and institutional barriers, at both the national and sub-national level. In particular, an efficient response to reduce the country's vulnerability to climate-induced disaster risks is constrained, among others, by:
• Insufficient data and limited understanding of climate change-induced disaster threats. Across institutions at the national and sub-national levels, there is insufficient understanding of the likely impacts of climate change effects and intensity of climate change-induced disasters. At the community level, there is also limited awareness and ineffective communication on disaster preparedness and the linkages with climate change. There is an absence of centralized data management system for climate change induced disasters and disaster management and an absence of effective monitoring and evaluation mechanism to track impacts of interventions. Further, there is limited research on the gaps in contingency plans and emergency preparedness and response at village and district levels. Gender sensitive data is missing in the country, which constrains the formulation of adequately targeted responses.
• Policies and regulations do not efficiently link climate change, disaster occurrence and risks and development planning : There is an overall absence of adequate policies and regulations on climate adaptation in the context of disaster risk management. Inadequate enforcement of existing relevant policies, plans and programmes including National Priority Programs (NPPs) as well as the obligations under the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is also observed.
• Insufficient institutional coordination to manage and respond to disasters: The limited coordination between different governmental agencies, as well as between government and international organizations and non-governmental organizations, hinders the management of disasters at the provincial, district and village levels. Community Based Organizations (CBOs) who are capacitated in disaster response are limited in number and resources, making it difficult for authorities to collect data and information and respond to emergency situations in a comprehensive manner. An effective and functional institutional organizational framework for key stakeholders to implement coordinated action on climate change and DRM is missing. The main government agency tasked with DRM coordination, ANDMA lacks substantive capacity to strategically assess disasters that are linked to climate change and those that are not.
• Inadequate engagement of women in disaster risk reduction activities: Women lack capital, networks and influence and have little access and control over land and economic resources that are vital in disaster preparedness, mitigation, and recovery. Unbalanced gender norms affect women's access to assistance from climate induced disasters. Low literacy level and status of women hinders their empowerment to act as promoters of resilience in the communities.

Key Results and Outputs
Outcome 1: Decision-making and implementation of climat induced disaster risks reduction measures are improved in selected communities, through enhanced capacities
Resources will be used to raise awareness and increase understanding at the community level on the importance of integrating accurate climate information into DRM efforts, and development planning. The project will build the capacities of the communities and Community Development Councils (CDCs) and the local extension offices of MRRD and MAIL in systematically collecting, monitoring, tracking, and analyzing climate data for adequate preparedness and risk reduction.
Communities will be the key actors and decision-makers in a participatory situational analysis to ensure successful mapping, analysis and effectiveness of the adaptation interventions. Given the low technical capacities and the current state of extension offices facilities it has been noted that the technologies procured for this effect should be user-friendly and easy-to-install and maintain (upstream and downstream gauges, rain gauges, staff gauges, etc). Hazard maps and vulnerability and risk assessments will then be produced by capacitated community councils in collaboration with extension officers and national officers of MRRD and MAIL, so they may further replicate this activity in other provinces.
Outcome 2: Community-based early warning systems in place and effectively utilized
A community-based approach to EWS is proposed recognizing that the first response to a disaster always comes from the community itself. In order to pilot effective CBEWS in the selected provinces, this outcome will focus in delivering timely information in order to lessen the negative impacts of weather-induced disaster. The CBEWS will ensure that all community members' needs, especially the most vulnerable (women, children, people with disabilities) are considered. In order to do this, the proposal will aim to achieve three main inter-related interventions: i) Ensure that there is a mechanism through which climate hazards can be monitored 24/7 , including adequate calculation of lead time and threshold values on which warning and alert levels will be based; ii) Coordinate warning services with relevant stakeholders (extended offices of MAIL and ANDMA) and enable efficient warning dissemination channels using multiple communication channels (mobile phones, sirens, loudspeakers on mosques, TVs and megaphones); iii) Strengthen response capabilities of the communities. It will be essential to define clear roles and responsibilities of the community and plan and allocate human resources. Contingency plans (addressing evacuation, first aid, health, shelter, water and sanitation, and rescue issues) to reduce impact of disaster will be designed in partnership with active NGOs, UN Agencies and other actors.
Outcome 3: Climate-resilient livelihoods are implemented in targeted communities
Resources will be used to complement improved preparedness with more resilient physical assets and income-generating opportunities for community beneficiaries. Based on appropriate vulnerability assessments and hazard maps completed under Outcome 1.1, MRRD will support CBOs and community authorities to design, assess (through appropriate feasibility studies) and build climate-proofed habitats and emergency shelters. Households will be better equipped to endure harsh weather conditions (heat or cold), as well as be less susceptible to damages from intense flooding, rains, and/or landslides. Climate-resilient emergency shelters will be multi-functional to serve as temporary education facilities, community meeting places, emergency supply storage, and/or primary health care. These infrastructures would also support home-based economic activities such as storage of food and agro-products, processing and canning. Secondly, location-specific risk planning and land zoning will help identify suitable areas for these infrastructures as well as other land uses such as crop culture, agroforestry, forestry and horticulture. Micro-enterprise development with a specific focus on women and youth will help communities capitalize on these new opportunities by incorporating improved disaster preparedness and CBEWS set up in Outcome 2.1.
These efforts will ultimately help increase savings and enhance food security at the community level, reducing the vulnerability of these communities to climate-induced disasters. Livelihood interventions will be identified during PPG phase to ensure tailored design that engages the most vulnerable. A robust market survey will be conducted to ensure that income-generating activities have a real market demand.
Outcome 4: Strengthened institutional capacities to integrate climate risks and opportunities into national and provincial development plans, policies, budgetary allocation and implementation mechanisms
In order to address the limited understanding of the implications of climate change in disaster risk and in development, this project will provide capacity-building to key government actors, to increase institutional coordination and synergies on climate change adaptation efforts. LDCF resources will be used to strengthen technical capacities within the Climate Change Department within NEPA on climate change policy, adaptation, and linkages between CCA, DRM, and development, at the national level. This is critical to ensure that national climate change policies and strategies are adequate and that the Department is able to promote, across ministries, the importance of incorporating climate risks into longer-term development planning.
This Outcome aims to support the Government of Afghanistan in kick-starting the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process to establish a mechanism whereby medium and long-term development planning and budgeting takes into account climate risks. This is particularly important when planning for DRM/DRR efforts, and in the case of Afghanistan, it is vital to sustain any development interventions.

Made it last weekend to San Francisco with two of my closest college friends in celebration of bachelorette-hood. It was a whirlwind of sight seeing, fantastic food, and laughter.
We checked in at the Cova Hotel on Friday afternoon after an incredibly smooth flight on Virgin Airlines. Grabbed the shuttle down to Fisherman's Wharf to get some touring in. The weather was typical of that quoted by Mark Twain "The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco". We walked the piers and enjoyed the company.
Made it out that night to Cantina to enjoy some good piped tunes and excellently crafted drinks. Ended the night happy and laughing as we tend to do.
Lots of touring, Chinatown, Union Square, the Ferry Building, and a hop on hop off tour of the city. We managed to walk up and down Hyde street to see Lombard Street and cable cars- which of course we took during the weekend.
We ate at Dottie's, had the most delicious breakfast I have ever had. Hands down. Smoked Salmon, capers, cream cheese, scallions in a scramble accompanied by homemade dill toast. We ate, and ate. The best part of the meal, we barely spoke, a true sign of a delicious and hearty meal.
Overall a lovely weekend was had by all in the City by the Bay.

Mothers with children ages birth to 3 years who worked both standard- and nonstandard-hour work schedules following the birth of their child experienced more child care instability than those who worked only one type of schedule during those early years, according to a new report from Mathematica and the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA). The report, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), found that this increased instability was linked to behavioral problems for their children—such as more conflict with others or trouble with authority—and suggested that these outcomes could be mitigated through increased stability of child care arrangements, and possibly facilitated by greater access to subsidized child care.
Authors of the report, "The New Economy and Child Care: Nonstandard-Hour Work, Child Care, and Child Health and Well-Being," surveyed 34 state child care administrators, conducted in-depth interviews with 13 of them, and analyzed longitudinal data from the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being (FFCWB) Study, which encompassed nearly 5,000 families with children born in large U.S. cities. Nonstandard work hours—those that do not conform to a traditional 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-through-Friday schedule—are becoming increasingly common in the United States, with nearly 20 percent of U.S. workers now working nonstandard hours, including 28 to 50 percent of low-income or low-wage hourly workers. The two-year study was conducted as part of RWJF's effort to explore how changes in the nature of employment in the United States affect health, economic stability, and equity.
"Parents with nonstandard-hour work schedules are crucial to a dynamic labor market, but this study reveals that children's health can suffer when their parents take jobs with different work schedules," said Angela Rachidi, coauthor of the report. "Child care instability can result when parents change work schedules, with consequences for their children's health. Policymakers should recognize these dynamics when designing child care assistance programs and try to mitigate instability for these children."
Public child care assistance programs such as those funded by the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG)—the nation's largest federal child care assistance program—can offer a critical safety net for low-income working parents with nonstandard hours by helping them afford quality child care; however, interviews of state child care administrators revealed that more can be done to better help these families, including offering sufficient informal child care options that meet their needs. The study also found that most state child care agencies admittedly do not have a complete picture of the existing supply of child care available during nonstandard work hours or the extent to which that care is subsidized for low-income families.
The report includes a series of recommendations for policymakers to better utilize child care assistance to mitigate any negative effects of work schedules on children's health, including:
- Dedicate funding to build state data infrastructures that better identify the need for and use of subsidized nonstandard-hour child care.
- If unmet needs exist, increase CCDBG funding to address those needs.
- Investigate the declines in subsidized license-exempt and informal child care providers across states to identify reasons for the reduced supply.
- Explore using refundable income tax credits (such as the child and dependent care tax credit) to increase stability and flexibility in child care assistance to parents who are working nonstandard hours.
"As the economy changes, a growing number of parents are working nonstandard hours—yet the available supply of child care during such hours has not kept pace, and parents struggle to afford what little care is available," said Russell Sykes, coauthor of the report. "This is a critical issue that policymakers at all levels should prioritize, and the report recommendations offer a road map for increased availability of and access to child care for families who need it the most."

In 2011, as the centerpiece of my thesis project for a MA in Oral History from Columbia University, I brought together a group of 16 activist oral historians for a two-day retreat outside of NYC. Together we discussed the limits and the possibilities of oral history as a method for not only documenting, but actively contributing to movements for justice. (You can read the synthesis report from that initial Gathering, here.)
Out of that retreat we developed Groundswell: Oral History for Social Change, now a dynamic and international network of over 600 oral historians, activists, cultural workers, community organizers, and documentary artists. Groundswell's mission is to provide mutual support, training, and resources in the practice of grassroots oral history in order to build the creativity and power of social justice movements.
Currently I serve as Groundswell's national co-coordinator, together with Amaka Okechukwu. I also coordinate a local Groundswell Collective in Oregon.
