Financial Assistance Request
United Way of Lackawanna & Wayne Counties
The United Way of Lackawanna & Wayne Counties, the Susquehanna County United Way and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council have collaborated to help serve low income youth and their families from Lackawanna, Wayne and Susquehanna Counties. These Scouts are faced with a special financial challenge.
The Scoutmaster, Cubmaster or Venturing Crew Advisor of the packs, troops and crews based in these counties are in the best position to have knowledge of Scouts and families in the Unit who are most in need of assistance. By working through the Scoutmaster, Cubmaster or Crew Advisor, this will help identify any needs more accurately and readily. This practice is not meant however to exclude parents or other leaders from directly applying for financial assistance, as long as requirements are met.
These United Ways have targeted specific needs-based funds to be utilized in Lackawanna, Wayne, and Susquehanna Counties to serve youth and families in need. These funds may be requested to supplement a variety of Scouting related purposes which may include, but are not limited to: registration fees, uniforms, insignia, badges, handbooks, activities, special trips, educational programs, and other related Scouting expenses. The NEPA Council will subsidize 70% of these expenses, and the Scout's family or Unit will need to cover 30% of these costs. Should your son need a Campership to attend an NEPA council operated summer camp, requests are to be made separately using a Campership Request Form. This form is available at the Scout Service and Training Center or can be found on the council website at www.nepabsa.org. Campership requests are due by May 1 and will typically cover up to 50% of the fees.
United Way funds are limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests for needs-based assistance will be honored only when the Scout and his parent fill out either the form on the back of this sheet and/or the Campership Request Form (which can be requested separately). In both cases, documentation of public assistance must be attached. If the United Way funding is exhausted for that particular year, the Council will continue to honor needs-based requests as funds are made available.
Your generosity is an investment in "HONOR" Scouting is something that works its way deep into the minds and hearts of the young men and women it touches. Ask any old salt who claims to have been a Scout to repeat the Scout Oath and, despite the fact that he has probably forgotten much, he will recite "On my honor..." without hesitation. Isn't a program that can have that much impact on a life worth your support? Even if you can't be an active leader, your financial support can insure that the good work Scouting does continues here in Northeastern Pennsylvania with a number of programs tailored to match your ability to give.
Northeastern Pennsylvania Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing strong character, good citizenship, and promoting physical fitness in the youth of this region. Your financial gift of any size ensures that Scouting's 90 year tradition of serving youth will continue here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We depend on families, leadership, and community organizations that benefit from Scouting to help out with direct contributions.
To insure the future of our council and our ability to continue serving the youth of our area, our council has created a special Endowment Fund. The money in the Endowment Fund is carefully invested by a corporate trustee, under guidelines given to it by the Council Executive Board. The purpose of an endowment fund is to never spend the principal of the fund. Instead, interest earned by the fund each year is transferred into the operating fund to help finance the council's programs.
The endowment fund needs to grow each year. The National Boy Scout Council believes that ultimately 25% of a council's operating budget will need to come from this kind of income. Everyone can help build our endowment fund in any of the following ways.

Inexplicably in late 2014 I landed an amazing job, working in environmental policy to support sustainable development and poverty reduction in the developing world. Most of my work focuses on south Asia and east Africa, so I get to travel for work, which is basically a dream come true.
Dream job in hand, I'll be staying in London for the next few years, before heading off on my next adventure (current thoughts on this are a dive trip across Indonesia stopping at all the best places from west to east before landing in Papua New Guinea).
While partly focusing on all the amazing places in the world to explore, I'm also staying grounded and trying to enjoy everything London has to offer. This involves going to as many concerts as possible, eating amazing food at restaurants you can only find out about through word of mouth, meeting inspiring people, a good dose of highbrow cultural exploration, a corresponding dose of hedonistic events, afternoons spent curled up with a book in a hidden cafe, hosting dinner parties with friends, drinking in the cellar at Gordon's Wine Bar, and going to random lectures at the Royal Geographical Society.
But of course, it would be much more fun to do those things with you.
Books: I spend way more time/money on books than is possibly healthy...so this list could be way longer. A few favourites:
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Catch-22, A Fine Balance, The History of Love, Cloud Atlas, Shantaram, House of Leaves, Midnight's Children, Ishmael, Time Traveller's Wife, Oryx and Crake, Norwegian Wood, the English Patient, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, 2666, The Goldfinch, The Land of Green Plums, If on a winters night a traveler, The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
Films: Before Sunrise, There Will Be Blood, The Pianist, Waking Life, Schindler's List, Eyes Wide Shut, Superbad, Life Aquatic. Basically anything by Wes Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, Richard Linklater or the Cohen Brothers.
Food: I couldn't live without Indian food...but also Thai, Italian, Middle Eastern and Indonesian are favourites. In fact, I think I spend more time focusing on food then on my career. Also, cheese is it's own category of food, right?
Music - small gigs, or sitting on a train watching the world pass by
Sex & intimacy
Second-hand book stores
Lazy mornings
Mountains and the ocean - a shout out to my home on the West Coast
That's 9. It's more fun to break the rules.
Or if you want to throw it all away and go traveling to India in 2017...
Or if you want to go climbing on the weekends. My newest obsession!

Taking into consideration the entire C++11 standard, is it possible for any conforming implementation to succeed the first assertion below but fail the latter?
#include <cassert>
int main(int, char**)
const int I = 5, J = 4, K = 3;
const int N = I * J * K;
int arr1d[N] = {0};
int (&arr3d)[I][J][K] = reinterpret_cast<int (&)[I][J][K]>(arr1d);
assert(static_cast<void*>(arr1d) ==
static_cast<void*>(arr3d)); // is this necessary?
arr3d[3][2][1] = 1;
assert(arr1d[3 * (J * K) + 2 * K + 1] == 1); // UB?
If not, is this technically UB or not, and does that answer change if the first assertion is removed (is
reinterpret_cast guaranteed to preserve addresses here?)? Also, what if the reshaping is done in the opposite direction (3d to 1d) or from a 6x35 array to a 10x21 array?
EDIT: If the answer is that this is UB because of the
reinterpret_cast, is there some other strictly compliant way of reshaping (e.g., via
static_cast to/from an intermediate
void *)?

As part of python-fedora, I've started documenting some standards for Fedora Services. These will go hand in hand with documents on how to use BaseClient that I am in the process of writing. These documents will document how Fedora Services should be written rather than how they are currently implemented. As such, I want to make sure everyone:
1) has a chance to review the document and make comments/changes before the changesare integrated into BaseClient and people have to port to things that are backwards incompatible.
2) can bring up other areas that need to be addressed.For instance, skvidal recently wrote a short client to the pkgdb that can generate email aliases for packages (so package packages fp o could send mail to all the committers to a package). He had the following comments to make:
1) It would be nice to have an introspection API to look at what methods are available on a TG app and how to use them.
2) JSON data that is deeply nested sucks because objects are turned into dictionaries so you have to write things like:
package['listings']['F-8']['people']['toshio']['acls']['commit']['status'] to get the status of a person's acls on a package.I'd like to get other people's input on how to work on these and any other issues before completing the next python-fedora so I can be sure that I've got most of the incompatibilities in. Talking here and on IRC is welcome.
Here's the current version of the Fedora Services Documentation. What's there should be complete. Addressing skvidal's concerns hasn't even been stubbed out yet::
