Unicode 8.0 Beta Review
The Unicode® Consortium announced the start of the beta review for Unicode 8.0.0, which is scheduled for release in June, 2015. All beta feedback must be submitted by April 27, 2015.
Unicode 8.0.0 comprises several changes which require careful migration in implementations, including the conversion of Cherokee to a bicameral script, a different encoding model for New Tai Lue, and additional character repertoire. Implementers need to change code and check assumptions regarding case mappings, New Tai Lue syllables, Han character ranges, and confusables. Character additions in Unicode 8.0.0 include emoji symbol modifiers for implementing skin tone diversity, other emoji symbols, a large collection of CJK unified ideographs, a new currency sign for the Georgian lari, and six new scripts. For more information on emoji in Unicode 8.0.0, see the associated draft Unicode Emoji report.
Please review the documentation, adjust code, test the data files, and report errors and other issues to the Unicode Consortium by April 27, 2015. Feedback instructions are on the beta page.
See more information about testing the 8.0.0 beta. See the current draft summary of Unicode 8.0.0.
Speaker deadline for Riga MultilingualWeb Workshop is Sunday, 8 March
We would like to remind you that the deadline for speaker proposals for the 8th MultilingualWeb Workshop (April 29, 2015, Riga, Latvia) is on Sunday, March 8, at 23:59 UTC.
Featuring a keynote by Paige Williams (Director of Global Readiness, Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft) and sessions for various audiences (Web developers, content creators, localisers, users, and multilingual language processing), this workshop will focus on the advances and challenges faced in making the Web truly multilingual. It provides an outstanding and influential forum for thought leaders to share their ideas and gain critical feedback.
While the organizers have already received many excellent submissions, there is still time to make a proposal, and we encourage interested parties to do so by the deadline. With roughly 150 attendees anticipated for the Workshop from a wide variety of profiles, we are certain to have a large and diverse audience that can provide constructive and useful feedback, with stimulating discussion about all of the presentations.
The workshop is made possible by the generous support of the LIDER project and will be part of the Riga Summit 2015 on the Multilingual Digital Single Market. We are organizing the workshop as part of the Riga Summit to strengthen the European related community at large. Depending on the number of submissions to the MultilingualWeb workshop we may suggest to move some presentations to other days of the summit. For these reasons we highly recommend you to attend the whole Riga Summit! See the line-up of speakers already confirmed for the various events during the summit.
For more information and to register a presentation proposal, please visit the Riga Workshop Call for Participation. For registration as a regular participant of the MultilingualWeb workshop or other events at the Riga Summit, please register at the Riga Summit 2015 site.
Paige Williams (Microsoft) to keynote at 8th Multilingual Web Workshop (April 29, 2015, Riga)
We are please to announce that Paige Williams, Director of Global Readiness, Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft, will deliver the keynote at the 8th Multilingual Web Workshop, "Data, content and services for the Multilingual Web," in Riga, Latvia (29 April 2015).
Paige spent 10 years managing internationalization of Microsoft.com, before joining the Trustworthy Computing organization in 2005. In TwC, Paige oversees compliance of company policy for geographic, country-region and cultural requirements, establishing a new center of excellence for market and world readiness, globalization/localizability, and language programs, tools, resources and external community forums to reach markets across the world with the right local experience.
The Multilingual Web Workshop series brings together participants interested in the best practices, new technologies, and standards needed to help content creators, localizers, language tools developers, and others address the new opportunities and challenges of the multilingual Web. It will provide for networking across communities and building connections.
Registration for the Workshop is free, and early registration is recommended since space at the Workshop is limited.
The workshop will be part of the Riga Summit 2015 on the Multilingual Digital Single Market. We are organizing the workshop as part of the Riga Summit to strengthen the European related community at large. Depending on the number of submissions to the MultilingualWeb workshop we also may suggest to move presentations to other days of the summit. For these reasons we highly recommend you to attend the whole Riga Summit!
There is still opportunity for individuals to submit proposals to speak at the workshop. Ideal proposals will highlight emerging challenges or novel solutions for reaching out to a global, multilingual audience. The deadline for speaker proposals is March 8, but early submission is strongly encouraged. See the Call for Participation for more details.
This workshop is made possible by the generous support of the LIDER project.
Counter Styles: two documents published
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a Candidate Recommendation of CSS Counter Styles Level 3. It adds new built-in counter styles to those defined in CSS 2.1, but, more importantly, it also allows authors to define custom styles for list markers, numbered headings and other types of generated content.
At the same time, the Internationalization Working Group has updated their Working Draft of Predefined Counter Styles, which provides custom rules for over a hundred counter styles in use around the world. It serves both as a ready-to-use set of styles to copy into your own style sheets, and also as a set of worked examples.
W3C MultilingualWeb Workshop Announced: 29 April 2015, Riga, Latvia
W3C announced today the 8th MultilingualWeb workshop in a series of events exploring the mechanisms and processes needed to ensure that the World Wide Web lives up to its potential around the world and across barriers of language and culture.
This workshop will be held 29 April 2015 in Riga, Latvia, and is made possible by the generous support of the LIDER project. The workshop is part of the Riga Summit 2015 on the Multilingual Digital Single Market (27-29 April)
Anyone may attend all sessions at no charge and the W3C welcomes participation by both speakers and non-speaking attendees. Early registration is encouraged due to limited space.
Building on the success of seven highly regarded previous workshops, this workshop will emphasize new technology developments that lead to new opportunities for the Multilingual Web. The workshop brings together participants interested in the best practices and standards needed to help content creators, localizers, language tools developers, and others meet the challenges of the multilingual Web. It provides further opportunities for networking across communities. We are particularly interested in speakers who can demonstrate novel solutions for reaching out to a global, multilingual audience.
See the Call for Participation and register online.
First Public Working Draft of Indic Layout Requirements published
The W3C Internationalization Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of Indic Layout Requirements on behalf of the Indic Layout Task Force, part of the W3C Internationalization Interest Group.
This document describes the basic requirements for Indic script layout and text support on the Web and in eBooks. These requirements provide information for Web technologies such as CSS, HTML and SVG about how to support users of Indic scripts. The current document focuses on Devanagari, but there are plans to widen the scope to encompass additional Indian scripts as time goes on.
Publication as a First Public Working Draft, signals the beginning of the process, rather than an end point. We are now looking for comments on the document. Please send any comments you have to email@example.com. The archive is public, but you need to subscribe to post to it.
Encoding is a Candidate Recommendation
The Encoding specification has been published as a Candidate Recommendation. This is a snapshot of the WHATWG document, as of 4 September 2014, published after discussion with the WHATWG editors. No changes have been made in the body of this document other than to align with W3C house styles. The primary reason that W3C is publishing this document is so that HTML5 and other specifications may normatively refer to a stable W3C Recommendation.
Going forward, the Internationalization Working Group expects to receive more comments in the form of implementation feedback and test cases. The Working Group
believes it will have satisfied its implementation criteria no earlier than 16 March 2015. If you would like to contribute test cases or information about implementations, please send mail to email@example.com.
The utf-8 encoding is the most appropriate encoding for interchange of Unicode, the universal coded character set. Therefore for new protocols and formats, as well as existing formats deployed in new contexts, this specification requires (and defines) the utf-8 encoding.
The other (legacy) encodings have been defined to some extent in the past. However, user agents have not always implemented them in the same way, have not always used the same labels, and often differ in dealing with undefined and former proprietary areas of encodings. This specification addresses those gaps so that new user agents do not have to reverse engineer encoding implementations and existing user agents can converge.
XLIFF 2.0 becomes OASIS standard
The XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) version 2.0 has been approved as an OASIS Standard.
XLIFF is the open standard bi-text format: Bi-text keeps source language and target language data in sync during localization.
The publication of XLIFF 2.0 is of high importance for W3C since several of the main ITS 2.0 data categories can be used within XLIFF 2.0 to provide content related information during the localization process. Full ITS 2.0 support is planned for the upcoming XLIFF 2.1 version.
Report available for W3C MultilingualWeb workshop in Madrid
A report summarizing the MultilingualWeb workshop in Madrid is now available from the MultilingualWeb site. It contains a summary of each session with links to presentation slides and minutes taken during the workshop in Madrid. The workshop was a huge success, with approximately 110 participants, and with the associated LIDER roadmapping workshop. The Workshop was hosted by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, sponsored by the EU-funded LIDER project, by Verisign and by Lionbridge.
A new workshop in the MultilingualWeb series is planned for 2015.
Character Model for the World Wide Web: String Matching and Searching Draft Published
This document builds upon on the Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals to provide authors of specifications, software developers, and content developers a common reference on string matching on the World Wide Web and thereby increase interoperability. String matching is the process by which a specification or implementation defines whether two string values are the same or different from one another.
The main target audience of this specification is W3C specification developers. This specification and parts of it can be referenced from other W3C specifications and it defines conformance criteria for W3C specifications, as well as other specifications.
This version of this document represents a significant change from its previous edition. Much of the content is changed and the recommendations are significantly altered. This fact is reflected in a change to the name of the document from "Character Model: Normalization" to "Character Model for the World Wide Web: String Matching and Searching".

'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2': Zoe Saldana Confirms Benicio Del Toro's Return
Back in June, Benicio Del Toro didn't seem too certain of his future in the MCU. While the actor said he'd love to keep developing his eccentric role as The Collector, he wasn't sure if there was a place for him in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. As it turns out, there is, and his co-star Zoe Saldana has just confirmed it.

I chose Baxters Cars from internet particularly because they advertised their prices, no uncertainty or expensive shocks. I called on a Sunday evening and got an immediate response, extremely helpful and friendly, and booked soon after. Before the day, the driver asked bridesmaids colours and added the mint green colour ribbons to door handles as a lovely personal touch. Arrived very early, which put us in a panic at first, but infinitely better than running late ! He put everyone at… Read Full Review

Good value for money and were very obliging when I said I needed a 1954 car to tie in with the year of the wedding. Could do with uptodate equipment as I asked to see what the car looked like (not in listings) and he sent a small, scrappy photocopy in the post; hand-written envelope in felt-pen and no note. A little bit of finesse would be nice. It did not matter in the greater scheme of things. Yes, the driver was the owner, as mentioned in other reviews, but that is irrelevant. He had a… Read Full Review

We hired a Silver Cloud from Allied Cars for our wedding in May this year. The price of the Silver Cloud offered great value for money....which was key to us as we were only travelling about 5 miles in total from house to church to reception, but still wanted a vintage car. The car arrived in good time on the day, the vehicle was immaculate in both condition and cleanliness. The driver was well turned out, charming and courteous. The booking process could be slicker if it could be done online… Read Full Review

What, are you crazy. Allied Wedding Cars writes its own reviews. Show us your address A Williams, one which can verify you are real.
Written on: 11/09/2014
Rather than be rude to people calling them crazy..why don't just post your own negative review of your own experience, rather than commenting on mine in the way you have. That way anyone using this site can take a balanced view of all reviews...surely that's the point of this site?
I don't work for them (I hired a car for my wedding, which thank fully arrived), but I am not going to put personal details on a website such as this.

you must be off your rocker or work for the company - they are the most unreliable company I have come across

This review was not written by the company itself. I hired a car for my wedding, and thankfully had a good experience. Sorry to hear that you did not.
Written on: 08/09/2014
yes, the owner is a total farce, he has done this to a few people of late, taken their money and refused to supply a receipt, refused to answer phone calls, refused to re-pay the cash paid. Glad to hear you had a good day, this company HAS left people phoning for taxi's at the last minute - then no contact, refuses contact with money in HIS pocket. Allied Wedding Cars must be the most terrible thing that one can come across.

Found Allied on Google and phoned the number about 3 months before the wedding date and from the start our wedding seemed to be the most important that they were dealing with. Details were then checked again nearer to the date and then again 2 days before. On the day the driver arrived very early and helped to put ribbons on our other (not special) car! He knew how to assist the photographer both before leaving for the church and on arrival. During the journey he kept everything very calm and… Read Full Review

Reference the complaint of October 27th 2012; we have the following comments to make.
First of all let me say how sorry we are that we could not give this customer the sort of service we have given to many thousands of customers over 50 years due to the holiday period creating great pressure for us which we could not cope with as we would normally have liked to do.
We will deal with each complaint individually.
Number 1.
We agree we did not answer her various emails because we were on holiday – Sorry for this holiday.
Number 2.
Eventually she managed to get through on the phone to us after we returned from our holiday. We informed her that we were swamped with calls and that eventually we would return her calls when we reached her order in the huge pile we had.
We did call her back as promised when a request was made for a receipt for the deposit, we told her that she would get one eventually once we had cleared the backlog of orders. i.e.145. She eventually received a receipt.
Her complaint about a refund was taken totally out of context. She asked us first "What will happen if the car does not turn up"? We then answered her question which is exactly what we do to all customers' questions.
Anybody asking the same question we would also pay compensation without being asked for it
We apologise for getting the day and date wrong which is why we always send out any acknowledgement with receipt for the customer to check the accuracy of all the details. These errors were due to huge pressure due to the holiday period after the 3 week holiday.
The acknowledgement was written by a partially sighted person, under the company policy of equal opportunity employment, to give employment to disabled people. Once again we send our apologies.
We hope that she understands the problems we have with external drivers and other companies.
This complaint was only one of two we had from approximately 400 bookings in 2012.
This customer admits she made lots of unnecessary calls, which were not necessary. Her complaint about getting the driver's wrong is incorrect. We have to change drivers for many different business reasons and then change the details we gave her. She did not order champagne on her signed order so we did not supply it. All drivers leave the reception as soon as they drop the bride unless they have specifically stated they want the car to stay for photographs which may have incurred extra charges. No such request was made on the order form.
When we wrote to her after the wedding, as we do to all customers after their wedding, to see if they were satisfied or otherwise we asked her to write directly to us if she was dissatisfied, or to write to you if she was satisfied.
If she had written to us with her complaint instead of you we could have given her compensation, but as wrote to you instead we cancelled the potential compensation.
We are both losers because of her error.

New Diabetes Guidelines Stress Lifestyle Changes: Endocrinology Association Task Force Emphasizes Individualized Treatment over a 'Cookbook Approach.'
Mechcatie, Elizabeth, Clinical Psychiatry News
Diabetes management is becoming less "glucocentric" than it used to be, according to Dr. Helena W. Rodbard.
Dr. Rodbard is the chairperson of the task force that wrote the new clinical practice guidelines on the management of diabetes issued by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists. Instead of talking only about how to keep blood glucose at the ideal level, the new guidelines provide more emphasis on lifestyle--in terms of prevention of diabetes--as well as the importance of managing blood pressure and lipids, she said in an interview.
In addition, previous guidelines did not include much information on diabetes complications, particularly microvascular complications, and diabetes management in the hospital setting, both topics of separate sections of the new guidelines. There are also sections on nutrition, screening and diagnosis, glycemic management in type 1 and type 2 diabetes, diabetes and pregnancy, and patient safety in diabetes care.
The guidelines were published in a supplement to Endocrine Practice that was mailed to AACE members and journal subscribers in July (Endocr. Pract. 2007;13[Suppl 1]), and are a result of almost 3 years of work by the task force, which was made up of endocrinologists specializing in diabetes, Dr. Rodbard said. The final recommendations in the guidelines represent a consensus among the task force members, and were also approved by the AACE board of directors.
These guidelines are distinct from the "Road Maps for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes" recently released by AACE. The road maps are not guidelines, but instead provide specific treatment algorithms and focus more on glycemic control.
The guidelines include a section on the medical management of diabetes, which contains reviews of the different drugs available, their indications for use, their advantages and disadvantages, and their expected impact on reducing in Hb[A.sub.1c] levels. The guidelines do not specifically recommend any one drug or class of drugs as a first-line treatment, but instead, they focus on the importance of individualizing treatment, Dr. Rodbard explained. "We don't have a cookbook approach because every patient is different, and we list the different medications, the indications for each drug, and which subset of patients can benefit from one versus the other medication."
That approach contrasts with the American Diabetes Association, which last year endorsed a consensus algorithm that recommended metformin along with lifestyle interventions for newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. "That may be appropriate for many, perhaps most, patients with type 2 diabetes, but definitely not for everybody. …


text: U.S. convicts bin Laden's driver at Guantanamo By Jane Sutton GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Reuters) - A jury of U.S. military officers on Wednesday convicted Osama bin Laden's driver on charges of providing material support for terrorism in the first U.S. war crimes trial since World War Two. But the panel at the remote U.S. naval base at Guantanamo in Cuba acquitted Yemeni captive Salim Hamdan on additional charges of conspiring with al Qaeda to commit war crimes. The judge scheduled a sentencing hearing for Wednesday afternoon for Hamdan, who faces a maximum penalty of life in prison. The jurors deliberated a little over eight hours before reaching their verdict. Hamdan, wearing a white turban and long white robe topped with a tan blazer, stood tensely in the courtroom beside his lawyers as the verdict was announced, listening through headphones to the English-Arabic interpreter. The trial is the first full test of the controversial Guantanamo tribunal authorized by the Bush administration to try non-U.S. captives on terrorism charges outside the regular civilian and military courts.

Gresham Things to Do
Main City Park
Located just south of old downtown Gresham, this city park features covered picnic areas and a number of paved trails through the park. There are playground structures of various types, and a memorial in the northeast corner of the park.
The center part of the park is a very small island formed by Johnson Creek that is in a somewhat wild state. It is possible to access the park from a single bridge from the west side of the park.
The park does suffer from a bit of noise from Powell Blvd., but it is possible to escape this on most days by heading further into the park.
This park is by no means an interesting park, beyond it being a reasonably nice neighborhood park. It is, however, one of the few things to do in Gresham that is worth mentioning.Related to:

Gresham Restaurants
Trufflehunter: Huge Sandwiches
An old house converted into a quaint restaurant. Good home cooking is the type of food you will find on the menu. Sandwiches, salads and soups are general fare for lunch. Dinner offers pot roast, chicken dishes and lunch items. The dessert tray is fun to look at. Desserts like grandma made. Mainly pies.
Favorite Dish: The Lady Ida is my all time favorite. It is an toasted open-faced sandwich with ham, pineapple, swiss cheese and cream cheese. It may sound weird but the flavors meld and complement one another.Related to:

India Oven: Delicious Indian Food
Here you find the most delicious Indian Dishes you can think of - and you can order them in 3 different styles of "hot-ness" ;o)
And the service is 1A-Rate - the waiters/waitresses are very polite & always on the lookout if they can help you or refill your cup with their tasty caj :o)
Favorite Dish: I personally LOVE spicy foods & here I tried the Prawn & Mushroom dish with VERY hot sauce - it was scrumptious!
My friends who were with me had a lovely Chicken Tikka Masala & a spicy Lamb dish -for everybody's taste-buds there is one dish to devour ;o)
AND: Not to forget: the absolutly tasty caj they serve! It's the traditional Indian tea, boiled in milk & an exciting arrangement of spices - it tastes wonderful! And your cup will be filled up during your whole meal - for free :o)Related to:

Sorry - I could not resist but had to take a picture of my Prawn & Mushroom dish - in the hope it would make your mouth water :o)
Gresham Off The Beaten Path
On duty with the Police :o)
For someone living in Northern Ireland it came as a big surprise when I was offered to do a ride-along with the local Police to see their line of work!
In fact, I ended up going on three 8 hour shifts with the Police officers and I enjoyed every minute of it!
I've been intrigued by their work since I've been very little & would never have dreamed of being able to just 'tag along'.
Apparently every citizen of Gresham has the opportunity if he/she wishes to apply for a ride along with the local Police to give everyone a chance to get to know the local peace keepers & their work. If the schedule & workload allowes it, they are in for the ride of their lifes :o)))
I asked permission from the police officer I went with most of the time, to put a breakdown of those first 8 hours with them in writing - you can read about it in the travelogue.
Gresham Favorites
Fishing on the Columbia River
Favorite thing: My friend David & his brother-in-law Paul are very passionate fishing partners :o) and they took me on a trip with them on the Columbia River just outside Gresham. It was amazing!
And the fish are HUGE - at least for my understanding, the salmon they caught are at least a meter long & heavy as stones :o)))
But I also loved the view we had from there - sitting in a boat in the middle of the wide river & looking straight @ Mt. Hood!Related to:

GDP Growth Raised for 3Q; Inventories May Weigh on 4Q
The economy grew at a healthy clip in the third quarter, which could help give the Federal Reserve confidence to raise interest rates next month.
The economy grew at a healthy clip in the third quarter, which could help give the Federal Reserve confidence to raise interest rates next month.
Consumer spending in September recorded its smallest gain in eight months as income barely rose, suggesting some cooling in domestic demand.
Economic growth braked sharply in the third quarter, but solid domestic demand could encourage the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in December.
The Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates at record lows in the face of persistent threats from a weak international economy and low inflation.
The Federal Reserve says steady consumer spending and an improving housing market spurred modest U.S. economic growth in the late summer.
Two Federal Reserve policymakers whose views are often at odds both suggested Monday they could well support an interest rate hike in December.
Stock investors don't necessarily need to fear rising interest rates, but they should keep in mind that some sectors could fare better than others.
Booms and busts seem to run on cycles, but the patterns may be changing with our modernized economy.
U.S. import prices barely declined in September, with oil prices rebounding and the drag on prices from a weak global economy appearing to moderate.
The economy grew more than previously estimated in the second quarter on stronger consumer spending and construction, the second upward revision in a row.
Is the Fed raising interest rates from record lows? That and what else to watch for from Fed officials when they make their announcement Thursday.
Financial market participants are confused about what the Federal Reserve will do. The U.S. central bank's recent communications haven't helped matters.
The Supreme Court decision on marriage equality could spark a $2.6 billion cash infusion in the coming few years. And these five states could benefit most.
Consumer spending recorded its largest increase in nearly six years in May on strong demand for automobiles and other big-ticket items.
The U.S. economy contracted in the first three months of the year, just not as much as previously estimated.
Economic growth in the second quarter will be far weaker than previously expected and it will prevent the pace of growth from exceeding last year's rate.
The IMF urged the Federal Reserve to wait until the first half of 2016 to start raising short-term interest rates because the U.S. economy remains subpar.
The impact of California's drought could reach its way into nearly everyone's checkbook in the coming years, and might be felt in ways you never saw coming.
Stock indexes ended more than 1 percent higher Friday after strong employment data indicated U.S. economic growth was picking up momentum.
Manufacturing expansion held steady in April, but a jump in consumer sentiment and strong vehicle sales suggest the economy was regaining footing.
The latest Fed statement points to economic weakness, and first-quarter GDP growth is lower than expected.
Economic growth braked more sharply than expected in the first quarter as harsh weather dampened consumer spending and energy companies slashed spending.
U.S. stocks fell Wednesday as weaker-than-expected data spurred concerns over economic growth ahead of Friday's jobs report and first-quarter earnings.
Americans today are less likely these days to agree that the U.S. is the world's top economic superpower. Yet we yearn to be something we already are.
The Federal Reserve moved a step closer Wednesday to a much anticipated first rate hike since 2006 by removing the word patient from its language.
Obama's budget fleshes out proposals from his State of the Union address and highlights Democratic priorities as the 2016 presidential campaign begins.
U.S. economic growth slowed sharply in the fourth quarter as weak business spending and a wider trade deficit offset increased consumer spending.
The economy was growing at a moderate pace in December and early January, helped by gains in sales of consumer products, a boost in tourism and more.
America's family-owned businesses are thinking positive in 2015. A deeper look shows why that is correct, and possibly not.
Fed policy-makers discussed various risks to the U.S. economy at last month's meeting but concluded that a drop in oil prices would likely boost growth.

BILL MAXWELL: All-black school sets standard of excellence
SAN ANGELO, Texas - I never believed that racial desegregation was necessary for black children to excel. In other words, black children didn't need to be in the classroom with white children to learn.
My position is the result of my own experience as a student in underfunded Jim Crow public schools. Even with the benign neglect heaped upon us, we had our secrets for success: We had parents and other adults at home who understood the value of education and who insisted that we succeed. We had principals and teachers, whose salaries were much less than those of their white peers, who cared about us.
Our service personnel — food preparers, janitors and landscapers — had children in our schools. They watched out for us. We knew that education was the key to the good life.
No, this is not a column about black history. It's about history repeating itself and about what education can be for black schoolchildren today when caring, wise, dedicated adults are in charge.
This time-tested formula is working at Urban Prep Academies in Chicago, the nation's first all-male and all-black charter high school. For the fourth consecutive year, all of its graduating seniors have been accepted to four-year colleges. This year, there are 167 seniors. They have been awarded more than $6 million in scholarships and grants.
It's a remarkable achievement in a city of high crime rates where black males are the lowest-performing demographic in public schools.
Tim King, Urban Prep's co-founder and CEO, opened the first campus in 2006 in the violent Englewood neighborhood. One of his main goals was to shut off the neighborhood's school-to-prison pipeline. When the school first opened, only 4 percent of the boys were reading at grade level. Most had been written off by their teachers.
A lot of boys still enter Urban Prep socially and academically ill prepared, but they undergo a metamorphosis. All staff members, from teachers to janitors, have a firm grasp of black culture, its weaknesses and strengths.
When I visited the Englewood campus several years ago, I saw what King refers to as the "four R's": ritual, respect, responsibility and relationships.
Many of the teachers are black males, a phenomenon not seen elsewhere in Chicago schools. Staff members address students formally by their last names, and the students wear blue blazers, khakis and ties. Teachers are available after school hours. Students are required to perform community service.
There's purpose in the formality and strictness.
"At Urban Prep, college is not a dream," King said. "It's reality. ... It's a lot of hard work to get all the seniors into college. It's a combination of things, but I think most importantly, it's creating a positive school culture. From the day these boys come to us, we make sure we focus hard on letting them know that their job is to prepare for college.
"And our job, as the adults, is to make sure we're doing the right thing to help them along the way."
The school has adopted the nickname "Hogwarts in the Hood," a reference to the school for wizards in the Harry Potter saga.
And there's that other essential factor: parental responsibility. From the initial interview, parents must sign a contract affirming they will be involved in their children's education.
King makes it clear that Urban Prep — where 85 percent of the boys come from low-income families — is not in the business of rearing children. That's the parents' responsibility.
Urban Prep's story is one of hope. It is evidence of what is possible for black children when smart adults who care are at the helm.

My daughter is named Daphne, so I'm biased of course. We picked it because it was beautiful, vintage and well-known but not popular. (I don't get harsh?) We had been going back and forth with the name Lily, but Daphne seemed feisty/spunky--like our daughter.
Although both seem British, Amelia and Daphne seem to be from different eras. I picture Gothic England with Daphne and the Roaring 20s with Amelia. That said, I have a hard time matching Daphne to any sibset. I expect I'll be posting something similar to yours if we have baby No. 2.
TL;DR I love Daphne, but the match with Amelia seems off.First-born coming April 27, 2014!

Thanks for the comments! I really like Daphne but, to me, it sounds quite different from the usually quite soft/lilting names I tend to like ('harsh' was maybe the wrong word to use - after all, I do like the name). Different can be good though, because I would like my kids to have distinctly different names. But are the names too different? I don't know. Thanks again for chiming in!

I love Daphne. It doesn't sound harsh to me at all. It sounds like the name of a woman who is all business when she wants to be, but has a quirky and fun loving side. Amelia doesn't really match Daphne in my opinion, but I think it's fine. I wouldn't recommend them for twins, but for sisters it would work okay.Not expecting, I just love names <3Vote on my namelist?

DGAP-News: Revenue and EBITDA both up 31 percent at TOMORROW FOCUS AG DGAP-News: TOMORROW FOCUS AG / Key word(s): Half Year Results Revenue and EBITDA both up 31 percent at TOMORROW FOCUS AG 08.08.2013 / 07:29 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Media release Revenue and EBITDA both up 31 percent at TOMORROW FOCUS AG Munich, Germany, 8 August 2013 - At EUR 92.3 million, TOMORROW FOCUS AG achieved its highest-ever half-year revenue total in the first six months of 2013. The figure is around 32 percent up on the same period in 2012 and was accompanied by a substantial improvement in operating profits. Consolidated revenue for the TOMORROW FOCUS Group in the first half of 2013 showed a year-on-year increase of 31.8 percent from EUR 70.0 million to EUR 92.3 million. At EUR 46.1 million, the second-quarter total was up 36.8 percent compared to the figure of EUR 33.7 million for the same period in 2012. These results were mainly driven by an excellent performance in the Transactions segment, where revenue for the half-year period grew by 44.7 percent from EUR 51.5 million in 2012 to EUR 74.5 million in 2013. Compared to the previous year, segment revenue was up 52.1 percent in the second quarter from EUR 23.8 million to EUR 36.2 million. As required under IFRS rules, the segment figure includes gross holiday revenue generated by Ecotour.com's virtual tour operator business. This came to around EUR 8.6 million in the first half of 2013 and EUR 6.1 million in the second quarter. Alongside HolidayCheck AG, EliteMedianet GmbH also made a valuable contribution to the outstanding revenue growth in this segment. Revenue in the Advertising segment was down by a small margin of 1.6 percent from EUR 12.7 million in the first half of 2012 to EUR 12.5 million in the current reporting period. This was due to the loss of marketing customers. The segment has attracted several new partners such as Apple iAd and Huffington Post, although some of these new contracts will not commence until later in the year. Despite this setback, it is all the more encouraging to note that the segment's revenue in the second quarter of 2013 was nevertheless up by 1.5 percent on the previous year from EUR 6.7 million to EUR 6.8 million. Revenue in the Technologies segment for the half-year reporting period was down by 8.6 percent from EUR 5.8 million in 2012 to EUR 5.3 million. This was due to a decline in the volume of offsetting transactions. At EUR 3.0 million, segment revenue in the second quarter of 2013 was largely unchanged on the previous year. In order to provide a more accurate comparison between the first half of 2013 and the equivalent period in 2012, the figures have been adjusted to remove the following one-off non-operating items. Under IFRS rules, amortisation and depreciation on the assets identified during purchase price allocation following the corporate takeovers in 2012 came to EUR 0.9 million in the first half of 2013 (first half of 2012: EUR 0.1 million), while the compounding of future put/call obligations amounted to EUR 1.4 million (first half of 2012: EUR 0.5 million). Group earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Group EBITDA) for the first half of 2013 were 31.2 percent higher at EUR 10.1 million compared to the previous year's figure of EUR 7.7 million. Group EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 stood at EUR 5.3 million, up 51.4 percent from the corresponding figure of EUR 3.5 million in 2012. At EUR 6.9 million, adjusted Group earnings before interest and taxes (Group EBIT) for the first half of 2013 rose by 27.8 percent compared to the previous year's figure of EUR 5.4 million. Adjusted Group EBIT for the second quarter was EUR 4.0 million, an increase of 60.0 percent on the figure of EUR 2.5 million achieved in the same period of 2012. Adjusted Group earnings before taxes (Group EBT) for the first half of 2013 stood at EUR 4.8 million, 37.1 percent up on the previous year's figure of EUR 3.5 million. At EUR 3.7 million, Group EBT for the second quarter was 76.2 percent up on the 2012 figure of 2.1 million. Adjusted Group earnings after taxes for the first half of 2013 were 36.0 percent higher at EUR 3.4 million compared to EUR 2.5 million recorded in the first half of 2012. The second-quarter figure stood at EUR 3.2 million, up 77.8 percent from the equivalent 2012 figure of EUR 1.8 million. Adjusted consolidated earnings per share for the first half of 2013 were up 50.0 percent at EUR 0.06 compared to EUR 0.04 in the first half of 2012. The unadjusted figure for the 2013 half-year period was EUR 0.02 compared to EUR 0.03 in the first six months of 2012. Adjusted consolidated earnings per share for the second quarter rose by 66.7 percent from EUR 0.03 in 2012 to EUR 0.05 in the current financial year. The unadjusted second-quarter figure was unchanged on the previous year at EUR 0.03. Over recent years, the TOMORROW FOCUS Group has established a number of valuable and sustainable Internet-based business models. Accordingly, the Management Board is very confident that the Group can maintain the same pattern of growth in the second half of financial 2013, when its latest acquisitions Ecotour, NetMoms, Tjingo and Zoover will also contribute to results. The overall aim is to achieve a double-digit percentage increase in the Group's revenue and EBITDA. Furthermore, the Group is exploring the potential for acquiring additional Internet-based companies that would complement its existing structure, especially in the areas of travel and advertising. The German-language version of the interim financial statements of the TOMORROW FOCUS Group for the first half of 2013 will be published later today on the website at www.tomorrow-focus.de. Publication of the translation in English will follow soon after.

It has a similar title and a similar length to Epic/Legacy's 1994 double-disc set The Essential George Jones: The Spirit of Country, but Epic/Legacy's 2006 collection The Essential George Jones is a different beast entirely. At 40 tracks, it's four songs shorter than the 1994 comp, but the real difference is in the song selection. Where The Spirit of Country offered a good overview of every label George recorded for between 1955 and 1989, Legacy could not get licensing for his work for Musicor in the second half of the '60s, which means there are a few big omissions here, including "Things Have Gone to Pieces," "Love Bug," "I'm a People," "Walk Through This World with Me," "Say It's Not You," and "A Good Year for the Roses." With the exception of "Things Have Gone to Pieces" and "Say It's Not You," all of those singles were on The Spirit of Country, and their absence is felt on Essential, as is the absence of novelty numbers like 1959's "Who Shot Sam" to 1976's "Her Name Is..." These silly songs are nearly as much a trademark of Jones' style as his signature ballad style, so without them -- and without the Musicor songs -- The Essential feels a bit lop-sided toward the serious hardcore honky tonk. Hardly a fatal flaw, of course, since this is where much of Jones' legacy lies, and it is a good, accurate overview of George's career, even if it's not as thorough or lively as The Spirit of Country. Apart from the aforementioned Musicor sides and his MCA work of the '90s (which is hardly a glaring omission), this offers a fair representation of his many labels: there are four cuts from Starday, six apiece from Mercury and United Artists, a whopping 25 sides from Epic -- which is appropriate, since he spent nearly 20 years on the label and had over 60 charting singles while he was there -- and, as a coda, a cut from his 1999 album for Asylum. Along the way, most, but certainly not all, of his big hits are presented, including "Why Baby Why," "White Lightning," "The Window Up Above," "Tender Years," "She Thinks I Still Care," "The Race Is On," "The Grand Tour," and "He Stopped Loving Her Today." Any George compilation that has all these hits, along with many other excellent songs, is bound to be a great listen and a useful overview -- it's just that the absences here are large enough that this can't quite supplant The Spirit of Country, which remains the best overall George Jones compilation. But if that set can't be found, this is a good substitute. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Arme Du Christ Group
Though small, the group has a wide range of businesses from food sales and used clothing, to live animals. Nelly M. is one of three representatives of the group. She is a single mother of two children.
The hardworking mom sells a variety of items based on the needs of her clients. She mostly sells food items including sugar, flour, oils, rice, spices, and some vegetables. Her business and family were both able to benefit from the loan because prior to the loan, she says, her children's meals were not as regular as they should be whereas now, the entire family is able to eat three meals a day. She hopes to continually grow her business and increase her savings so that she may finish school, go to college and eventually get married.
On behalf of Nelly, Arme du ChriS., and Esperanza we thank you for your support.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Want more colours and small spools? You can choose from lots and lots of shades in these 200 meter spools. This thread is lovely as a bobbin thread or for fine hand appliqué (recommended by Karen Kay Buckley).
Mettler are switching this thread over to a new numbering and naming system. We are keeping the old numbers in order. As they are replaced the old number will be preceeded by the new number. Some of the color names have been changed.
You will notice the spools are now a light green instead of white.

Emily's tip
This recipe works well with plums, too. You could also try using whatever fruit teas you have at home and adding a cinnamon stick and vanilla pod in with the poaching liquid, if you have them.
- Put the sugar, honey, jelly and tea bags into a big saucepan with 600ml water and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the pear halves, then cover and simmer for 12-15 mins until the pears are just tender – poke them with a skewer or the tip of a knife.
- Lift out the pears, then turn up the heat, throw in the cranberries and boil for a few mins until syrupy. Discard the tea bags. Serve the pears with the warm syrup poured over and a spoonful of crème fraîche or yogurt.

$mcae = get_auth_plugin('mcae'); //Get mcae plugin
if (isset($SESSION->mcautoenrolled)) {
if (!$SESSION->mcautoenrolled) {
$mcae->user_authenticated_hook($USER,$USER->username,""); //Autoenrol if mcautoenrolled FALSE
} else {
$mcae->user_authenticated_hook($USER,$USER->username,""); //Autoenrol if mcautoenrolled NOT SET

- Thu, Jul 17, 2014, 9:52 AMAlso looking for a Moodle 2.7 version
- Mon, Aug 4, 2014, 5:09 PMokay. So I have this plugin working on Moodle 2.7.
however, for now, i'm stuk with the following:
I want to give people the option, to use checkboxes as customprofilefield.
1 have to options: option1 and option2.
my main template lines are
even when just 1 checkbox is checked, student comes into 2 cohorts....
what do I miss here? since checkboxes returns 0's and 1's... where should I add the "1" ?
- Thu, Aug 7, 2014, 9:26 PMHi Andrew, in the php log of Moodle 2.6, I get the following PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in www\auth\mcae\auth.php on line 314. Although the warning presents no problem that I can see, would the following being added before 314 work to remove the warning?
if (!isset($SESSION))
$SESSION= new stdClass();
Thanks, Andrew
- Sun, Aug 10, 2014, 10:13 PMHi, Andrew. To remove the warning update plugin from github.
- Wed, Aug 20, 2014, 2:50 PMIs this plugin compatible with Moodle 2.6 ?
- Tue, Sep 9, 2014, 3:33 AM@Francis Seems to work in 2.6
Does anyone know if it's possible to manually add people to a cohort created with this plugin? I'd like to add previous users that joined before adding the plugin who may not sign in.
- Wed, Nov 12, 2014, 7:52 PMWe use this on our site to enrol staff and volunteers into different cohorts. We also enrol all of our staff and volunteers into cohorts based on which Directorate they work in. It would be great if you were able to enrol people into cohorts based on more than one condition. For example, 'Volunteer' in our Licence field AND Fundraising in our Directorate field. Is there any scope to develop this?
- Sat, Nov 15, 2014, 12:37 AMNot sure if I am using this plugin correctly. But what I would like to do is very simple. I would like to add those people who choose EN in a Cohort named English, those who choose Italian in a cohort named italian. I did many different versions but don't seem to be working correctly - the user is still going to both cohorts. What is wrong.
New Registered EN %split(%language|,0 )
New Registered IT %split(%language|,1 )
What is wrong?
- Sun, Feb 1, 2015, 10:01 PMIf you add the hook for email registration to your theme in 2.6+, the loginas functionality will break. I added the following to the hook function in auth.php to ignore admins logged in as students.
if (\core\session\manager::is_loggedinas()) {
$SESSION->mcautoenrolled = TRUE;
return true;
- Wed, Feb 18, 2015, 1:21 PMHi there,
Can you send a welcome message once a user is enrolled in a cohort and that cohort is enrolled in a course?
- Mon, Apr 20, 2015, 1:45 PMIt worked great up to 2.7 but now wont function with 2.8. Is there any chance of an update??
- Mon, May 4, 2015, 5:06 AMYes, please, please udate! I love this plugin, it made things so much easier for me!
- Sun, May 10, 2015, 2:04 AMI'd also love to see a 2.8 version - or even better, a 2.9 version. Can anyone share their updates if you've done this?
- Fri, May 29, 2015, 2:22 AMI would like (as with Kevin Treussier) to be able to use an enumerated list in a single field to separate users into multiple cohorts. For example user with a user field "isATP;isPartner" should go into two cohorts isATP and isPartner. I can't figure out how to define the separator and make this work.
Using version 1.2 of the plugin (2014121815 1.2) with Moodle 2.8.3+ (Build: 20150219) Version 2014111003.03
- Thu, Aug 13, 2015, 5:05 AMI installed the latest GitHub pull on Moodle 2.8. The plugin works OK for standard accounts. I tried to use the plugin with email-based registration, but as documented in the readme file, extra code needs to be added. The problem is that the new Moodle Themes do not have a /layout/general.php or /layout/default.php file. Where should I insert the code? When will this plugin be updated for Moodle 2.8?

The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES â?? The Los Angeles Dodgers have known struggle this season. Down and out, up and down; they've been there, done that.
But despite setbacks, and going 9 ½ games back in the National League West three weeks ago, the Dodgers now sit at the top of their division, in sole possession of first place after a 1-0 win Monday against the Cleveland Indians.
"We don't really care about first place; we're just playing better," starting pitcher Dan Haren said. "The clubhouse is real loose. The guys are coming together and having more fun. Winning really cures everything."
How have they managed to get back on top? Good defense. And a really, really good rotation.
"I feel pretty good about where we're at," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "Last year, when we got on that little roll and started playing good, we got confident (and it's the same now). I always go back to our pitching. Everyone is going to have a bump here and there, but I feel like our guys are going to keep us in the game and give us a chance."
His guys â?? namely Clayton Kershaw, Josh Beckett, Haren, Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu â?? have been the most consistent element of the Dodgers' game. Kershaw and Beckett have both slung no-hitters this season, and Kershaw is currently riding a streak of 28 innings pitched without giving up a run (the eighth-longest streak in Dodgers history) after leading L.A. to a 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
"These guys have been doing this for a while," Mattingly said. "I think Danny always gives us a few runs but keeps us in the game. These guys just keep going, but they've been doing it all year. The shutouts are one thing, but they've been keeping us in every game all year long."
"I've been on some good staffs, but it's tough to hold my weight here," Haren said. "Every time out, the guys have been dealing and it's fun to watch and I've just been maintaining the momentum. Kershaw's walk-to-strikeout ratio is ridiculous. Josh has been throwing a lot of strikes. It's great."
On Monday night, when the Dodgers welcomed the Indians to Dodger Stadium for the first time since 2008 and kicked off a three game interleague series, Haren (8-4) threw seven scoreless innings, allowing one hit, one walk and tossing five strikeouts, before his team finally pitched in some offense. Andre Ethier hit a triple in the bottom of the seventh and eventually scored when Clint Robinson got his first career hit and RBI with two out.
Having just been called up by the Dodgers on June 25 after a painstaking wait, Robinson said it "felt good" to get the hit.
"I didn't get the call saying I was going up (to the Dodgers), we were on the road and my manager just told me to go back to my hotel room and wait around for six or seven hours for the phone to ring," he said. "It was a lot of pacing around the room. Finally I got the call around midnight so I could celebrate, but no one was awake to celebrate, so I kind of had to give myself my own fist bump."
Haren said he was thrilled to play a small part in such a big night for Robinson, but it was also an important rebound performance for the pitcher after a disappointing outing in Kansas City last week.
"I was locating the ball really well tonight and I was working on some stuff between starts (that I applied)," Haren said. "I've been feeling good lately. This is the best I've felt all year. I've been working on my curveball, trying to feature it a little bit more. Just little things. Today I was finally able to execute and hopefully it's a sign of things to come."
While Haren is finding his groove and Kershaw has been arguably the best pitcher in the Major League of late, Beckett may be garnering more praise than anyone for his performance in what has been heralded a "comeback season."
Starting only eight games last year before having season-ending surgery to repair a nerve causing numbness in his fingers, the 34-year-old former Red Sox has exceeded expectations, pitching seven innings in each of his last starts. Still, Mattingly and Co. are keeping a close eye on him.
"Josh is always the guy who, in between starts, we worry about," Mattingly said. "He's battling every time to get ready for the next one. We want to make sure we're lined up properly. He's got over 2,000 innings on him, so there's times he doesn't throw his bullpen. I'm not saying he's old, but he's got a little mileage on him. I haven't heard anything about his surgery or his arm. He has been pretty consistently good. Beckett is a guy who in the past threw a lot in the bullpen, but now he's stepping back and trusting his stuff more."
With injuries mounting, the Dodgers will need their rotation to stay strong. Hanley Ramirez has missed time with calf and shoulder injuries (but was back in the lineup as a pinch hitter on Monday), Justin Turner just went to the DL, and Chone Figgins is still there nursing his own calf strain. What will help whoever is on the bump is the much improved play of the team's defense.
Early on, miscues and errors cost L.A. games they should have won, but since Mattingly got more aggressive with moving, and sitting, players who weren't pulling their own on D, the rest of the club has taken notice, and stepped up to the plate.
"There is a long way to go, but obviously we're happy with the way things are going right now," Mattingly said. "We're happy with the way we're playing and coming back from a pretty good deficit.
But there's a lot of baseball to be played, a lot of things can happen. We have to stay level, and I preach that. If things go badly, you have to be ready to play the next day. You have to turn the page and be ready."
Mattingly, on Adrian Gonzalez's offense troubles: "Adrian's swing looks like it's ready to take off. You have to just keep hitting. He's capable of using the whole fieldâ?¦but sometimes your swing dictates how (much you use). It's not as easy as you think, like 'oh just hit it over there.' It's not like you're in the backyard and the guy is pitching for you. It's a little tougher than that. He's swinging the bat better though."
