My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Sojourner Center, Phoenix, AZ, USA
I was introduced to Sojourner Center when researching organizations after finishing my degree. I came to work for Sojourner Center to help others and didn't realize the vast impact this decision would have in my own life. Working in finance I was immediately impressed with how conscientious the organization was with their finances and how being good stewards of donor funds was/is always a factor when making financial decisions. Once settled into my position I began to see more of the organization and the impact it has in the lives of the women and children in shelter as well as the community it serves. It was difficult to hear the stories of the women and I would often go home exhausted and in tears as I tried to digest everything. A friend once asked me why I continued when things touched me so much and I thought a lot about it before I answered her. I finally called her and told her that I am so fortunate because although I hear and see things that my mind does not want to register I also get to see, meet and talk to some of the most wonderful individuals within this community who share their stories, time, money and lives to ensure this work continues. Some of these individuals have personal experience while others just feel passionate about the cause but all are kind, compassionate, empathetic and wonderful individuals that I am so lucky to have the experience of meeting or just hearing about. Some of these individuals have also personally inspired me to deal with my own issues and, although a very private person, I am learning and finding empowerment in the tools taught to the women that help me in my own life as I struggle to find peace from a past that I have tried my whole life to forget and escape. Every life has value and every life is important no matter the size, age or gender and everyone deserves to understand this. Our mission statement is "Overcoming the impact of Domestic Violence One Life at a Time" and I know that Sojourner will continue to work at touching the lives of the women and children at shelter as well as the lives of our very generous donors, community members and employees.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Seeing and hearing the sucess stories of the women and children at shelter as well as gaining personal strength and empowerment from the modules taught and used by the women here.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Everyone I work with is so passionate for this cause which grants us such immense opportunities for learning and growth as ideas are shared. If I had to change one thing I would find a way to gather this wealth of information and ideas to use when making important decisions and policies.

A must have movie from the classic book by Ray Bradbury!
Just Imagine world without books? Where what you have been told by the ruling society(Oligarchy) by the TV or mass media is only "truth". No Shakespeare, Leo Tolstoy, Moliere, Charles Dickens.....
The Fire brigade is not extinguishing fires but creates ones –by burning books.
There is group of rebels that do not agree with this, They calling themselves "People-Books"
Each of them has to learn-memorise one book so can transmit the knowledge to the next generation...
One of the romance or novels that are called "Dystopia" or "anti-utopia" including the best of the best George Orwell's "1984" , and "Animal Farm", Jack London's "The Iron Heel"
Everybody knows the famous show "Big Brother"!! There where the idea coming from: "1984" _ "Big brother is always watching you"
"Anti-utopia" is opposite of the famous Tomas More's "Utopia"-1560 of happily "equal" society!
"Anti-Utopia" represents the society of totalitarism , dictatorship, one party or one individual ruling and monitoring, manipulating every persons destiny.
Sound Familiar??
I just ordered the "1984 DVD"

Imagine spending an hour having fun with family, friends or your pet dog? As it is National Work-Life Balance Week, focusing on what's important could make you happier.
In the UK, statistics show that a significant number of parents are unhappy with work-life balance with almost a quarter (23 per cent) feeling that work and family life are in constant conflict. Thirty five per cent of parents state their work affects their home life in a negative way.
The good news is that small changes can make a big difference – provided the problem is acknowledged. There are some simple ways of making your working day more productive. Analyse which activities sap your time and energy. Are you spending unnecessary time chatting or browsing on websites? Doing these things regularly can become a habit and can add up to time which would be better spent.
If you have work worries talk to your line manager. Ask yourself if you are working longer because you are struggling to cope with your workload or if there is a deeper-rooted problem. At home, try delegating errands or chores – get the family involved in cutting the grass, taking out the bins or the kids cleaning their bedrooms. One approach which can help is practising mindfulness. It is about living in the present, becoming aware of your own thoughts and feelings and accepting them. For example, you may think, "everything is getting on top of me". However, a mindful person will acknowledge this as just a thought and let it go.
A midweek breather does wonders for our energy levels and work-life balance, according to the organisers of Work-Life Balance Week, so getting home on time one day a week to do something we enjoy is a goal we can all set ourselves. Start by making a regular date for doing that activity.
At First Psychology Scotland, this week we are running a short survey to better understand how the impact of technology is affecting our work–life balance. To take part go to www.firstpsychology.co.uk/worklife.
Professor Ewan Gillon is counselling psychologist and clinical director of First Psychology

Delete command removes the rows from a table based on the condition that we provide with a WHERE clause. Truncate will actually remove all the rows from a table and there will be no data in the table after we run the truncate command.
- TRUNCATE is faster and uses fewer system and transaction log resources than DELETE.
- TRUNCATE removes the data by deallocating the data pages used to store the table's data, and only the page deallocations are recorded in the transaction log.
- TRUNCATE removes all rows from a table, but the table structure, its columns, constraints, indexes and so on, remains. The counter used by an identity for new rows is reset to the seed for the column.
- You cannot use TRUNCATE TABLE on a table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint. Because TRUNCATE TABLE is not logged, it cannot activate a trigger.
- TRUNCATE cannot be rolled back.
- TRUNCATE is DDL Command.
- TRUNCATE Resets identity of the table
- DELETE removes rows one at a time and records an entry in the transaction log for each deleted row.
- If you want to retain the identity counter, use DELETE instead. If you want to remove table definition and its data, use the DROP TABLE statement.
- DELETE Can be used with or without a WHERE clause
- DELETE Activates Triggers.
- DELETE can be rolled back.
- DELETE is DML Command.
- DELETE does not reset identity of the table.
Note: DELETE and TRUNCATE both can be rolled back when surrounded by TRANSACTION if the current session is not closed. If TRUNCATE is written in Query Editor surrounded by TRANSACTION and if session is closed, it can not be rolled back but DELETE can be rolled back.
Which is the subset of SQL commands used to manipulate Oracle Database structures, including tables ?
The Data Definition Language (DDL) is used to manage table and index structure.CREATE, ALTER, RENAME, DROP and TRUNCATE statements are the names of few data definition elements.

Which operator performs pattern matching ?
LIKE is a keyword that is used in the WHERE clause. Basically, LIKE allows us to do a search based operation on a pattern rather than specifying exactly what is desired (as in IN) or spell out a range (as in BETWEEN).
The syntax is as follows:SELECT "column_name"FROM "table_name"WHERE "column_name" LIKE {PATTERN}
{PATTERN} often consists of wildcards. In SQL, there are two wildcards: % (percent sign) represents zero, one, or more characters._ (underscore) represents exactly one character.
Write SQL Query to find second highest salary of Employee.
There are many ways to find second highest salary of Employee in SQL, you can either use SQL Join or Subquery to solve this problem. Here is SQL query using Subquery :

find all Employee records containing the word "Joe", regardless of whether it was stored as JOE, Joe, or joe.

In her television commercial for a car company, Michelle Wie attracts attention when she drives up to a golf club for her tee time. But Saturday at Sebonack, she raised eyebrows by withdrawing from the U.S. Women's Open rather than showing up at 7 a.m. to complete her final hole of the suspended second round.
Wie cited illness, but she was 11 over par and knew she had no chance to make the cut of 6 over. Candie Kung also withdrew with three holes left to play, but she doesn't enjoy Wie's status and it's not her national championship.
"I know it's not going to be viewed well by the public," said Stacy Lewis, who is No. 2 in the world and understands the responsibility that goes with being the top American. "I know she's frustrated with her game, but it's the U.S. Open. I think you've got to get back out there and finish. It's a tough call.
"I think if I was in that situation, I would post a score. That's my personality, the way I play. I don't give up on things."
Lewis is very friendly with Wie and is well aware of her struggle to live up to expectations. She expressed surprise at Wie's decision.
"I think it shows how frustrated she is more than anything," Lewis said. "Everybody wants her to play good golf because it's good for the game."
Morgan Pressel, another top American player, reserved comment on Wie's decision, but Pressel added: "For me, I'm happy to be here. It's my favorite tournament of the year, and I have one day to finish strong."
During Ch. 4's telecast of the third round, Golf Channel announcer Gary Koch said: "To be honest with you, I think that when you tee off in a tournament, you have an obligation to finish whether you miss the cut or win the tournament. It could be that she is just sick of not playing very well.''

There will be no spray on the right of ways, at least so far, as NStar has not included Cape Cod on its list of towns where they will apply herbicides this year.
There will be no spray on the right of ways, at least so far, as NStar has not included Cape Cod on its list of towns where they will apply herbicides this year.
"The yearly operational plan that we recently filed with the state excluded Barnstable County this year because we are still finalizing our vegetation management plan for the Cape," NStar spokesman Michael Durand explained. "It's too soon to tell if we'll follow up the recent filing with one that's specially for Cape Cod."
Despite the less than final declaration local spraying opponents were happy.
"Thank you NStar for listening to Cape residents and selectmen and for considering our drinking water," said beekeeper/landscaper Laura Kelley. "I wish the results were perennial instead of annual; a permanent solution. We will continue to go forward and look for an answer."
All 15 towns in the county have asked NStar to refrain from spraying and the utility responded with a voluntary moratorium through 2010 and 2011 after local opponents stirred the pot.
"I'm very pleased they won't be spraying. It's another year we won't be worrying about the quality of our drinking water supply," said Sue Phelen of GreenCape. "If they could prove these products they're using and the other ingredients were safe we we'd accept it and we would go away but they can't prove that."
Durand noted the products are low in toxicity, duration and don't travel far in the soil.
"The state has done studies that have shown utilities like NStar by far use lower levels of herbicides," he said. "Homeowners are the top users. We are heavily regulated in everything we do. Homeowners have no such regulations. They can use products off the shelf as they see fit. We use herbicides that are specially approved for environmentally sensitive areas and use the minimum amount to do the job."
The job is to keep right-of-ways clear of trees and shrubs that might reach 12-feet in height and hinder access, such as; alder, aspen, beech, birch, cherry, pine, maple and oak. On the Cape oak, pitch pine, cherry and birch are the prime offenders along with vines and shrubs; bittersweet, multiflora rose, grape vines, Japanese knotweed, poison ivy, greenbrier and blackberry.
According to the management plan the area is prepped by selective trimming before herbicides licensed applicators go in on foot with backpack sprayers for foliage, cut-stump and basal treatments. The average application is less than five gallons per acre and the active ingredients are in the pints-per-acre range.
NStar will spray in 46 towns on 15 right-of-ways, coming as close to the Cape as Wareham and Plymouth.
GreenCape has enticed 2,156 people to sign a "say nay to the spray" petition to NSTAR.
"The products homeowners have access to are not of the toxicity NStar uses," Phelen said. "One of the products is not even registered for use on residential properties yet NStar is using it on residential properties. We offered to sit down with them and discuss other methods. We want them to be happy. There are other methods of weed control that worked before. They could mow. It's what they've done in the past and it was successful."
Kelley is pursuing a legislative solution.
"A year and a half ago I found a law in Maine and brought a description to [state Rep.] Cleon Turner (who represents Brewster through Barnstable) and he shaped it into an act, House Bill 3564. It's in the Legislature now," Kelley explained. "It states that each individual town will be able to select their own alternative solution they wish for maintaining vegetation under their power lines and NStar will do it if it is financially close."
She urged people to write in support of the bill.
"Lets continue to be heard so we can have a more permanent solution as opposed to over and over year after year," she said.

The recent "fair use" victory for Google allows Google Search to use the content of +20 million of books which may reshape copyright content on the Internet forever. Google Books "fair use" expands the scope of search engines without infringing copyrights even though the libraries who contributed the +20 million of books cannot make copies based on Judge Chin's November 14, 2013 order granting Google's Motion for Summary Judgment against the Authors Guild.
This is not over yet for a couple of reasons. First, there will be an appeal of Judge Chin's order, and second there are other parties in the lawsuit which still pends since Judge Chin's ruling was only regarding the Authors Guild. In 2010, the American Society of Media Photographers created another class and joined the Authors Guild existing case against Google. Their class action was brought on behalf of photographers and graphic artists and includes the Graphic Artists Guild, the Picture Archive Council of America, the North American Nature Photography Association and Professional Photographers of America.

UPDATE: Goldman Sachs Initiates Lions Gate Entertainment at Neutral on Valuation
Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on Lions Gate Entertainment (NYSE: LGF) with a Neutral rating and an $18 price target.
Goldman Sachs noted, "The recent acquisition of Summit (Twilight films) and the still unfolding Hunger Games franchise (3 films to go) position LGF to deliver a steady stream of FCF that will likely be used to delever and enhance equity appreciation. This point is not lost on the market, with the stock up 92% CYTD and at 10% premium to historic EBITDA multiple and a 35% premium to media conglomerates. We will look for a better entry point and more clarity on the potential for new film franchises to emerge."

Home Sweep Home; Sox Take All 3 vs Brewers
After an unimpressive 10 game road trip that ended with 4 consecutive losses, the Boston Red Sox happily returned home to the friendly confines of Fenway Park for their weekend interleague match up against the Milwaukee Brewers. Not only have the Sox excelled at home this season, but since 2006 they have dominated the National League. This success continued as the Sox used a balanced offensive attack to sweep away the Brewers in the three game series.
Friday night the rains fell in Boston, forcing the game to be postponed to Saturday. The extra day of rest helped the Sox refocus as they came out and captured the first game of the series 5-3 behind another solid pitching performance by Dice-K Matsuzaka. With the victory, Matsuzaka improves to 7-0 on the season and more importantly the Sox improve to 9-0 in games he has started. Many are starting to look at him as the staff ace, but he isn't ready to accept the title just yet.
"I want to keep winning," Matsuzaka said, grinning to an interpreter. "But I think Boston's ace is Josh Beckett."
Beckett started out the 2007 season with a 9-0 record before suffering his first loss.
Offensively in the first game, David Ortiz blasted a 3-run homerun in the 2nd inning that would give the Sox a 4-0 lead and all the runs they'd need to hold on for the victory. Jonathan Papelbon recorded his 12th save on the season, shutting the door in the 9th inning.
After Fenway Park was cleared and cleaned, the teams changed uniforms and came back out for the night cap doubleheader that featured a little bit of everything, but the end result was all that mattered in a Red Sox 7-6 victory.
Veteran knuckleballer Tim Wakefield hurled 5 1/3 innings allowing 3 runs on 6 hits while striking out 5 in the outing. He left the game with the lead but did not end up factoring into the decision because of some costly errors that led to unearned runs. The Sox made 3 errors on the night, which resulted in 3 unearned runs being scored in the 7th inning giving the Brewers a 6-5 lead at time.
The Sox immediately stuck back putting 2 runs up on the board in the bottom of the 7th, capitalizing on 2 errors by the Brewers infield. The only hit in the inning came on a single by Kevin Youkilis that knocked in the eventual game winning run, scored by Dustin Pedroia. Milwaukee made 4 errors total on the game.
Having pitched earlier in the day, closer Jonathan Papelbon was unavailable for the save so veteran reliever Mike Timlin was called upon to close it out. He recorded a perfect 9th inning, retiring all three batters on only 8 pitches for his first save on the season. Prior to the outing Timlin had not recorded a save since May 2nd 2007.
Game three of the series featured the long ball, and lots of them. Eight homeruns were blasted in the Red Sox 11-7 win, completing the sweep of the Brewers in their first trip to Fenway Park since 1993.
David Ortiz led the way for Boston, hitting two homeruns and knocking in 4 RBI's on the afternoon giving him a season total of 10 HR's and 37 RBI's. Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis also added long balls, their 2nd and 9th respectively.
John Beckett was on the hill for the Sox going for win number 5 on the season. Although he did not very sharp, behind all the offensive firepower, he was able to hold off the Brewers bats just enough to pick up the victory. Beckett lasted 7 innings and allowed 6 runs on 6 hits, 4 of which were Milwaukee homeruns. He struck out 9 in the outing bringing his season strike-out total to 56, 5th best in the AL.
Milwaukee was led by Ryan Braun who hit two homeruns on the afternoon and now has 13 on the season. J.J. Hardy and Prince Fielder also homered off of Beckett, who allowed 4 HR's only for the 2nd time in a game in his career. The previous outing came against the Toronto Blue Jays back on May 30th of 2006.
Since 2006, the Red Sox are now 18-3 against the National League in interleague play at Fenway Park and 31-8 overall. That is not counting the 4 consecutive World Series wins against the Colorado Rockies in their 2007 championship campaign.
The Sox will now welcome the Kansas City Royals into town for a 4-game series. Kansas City currently hold a 21-22 record and is tied for 3rd in the AL Central, but only 2 games out of first place in the division. The teams spilt their 6 games last season, each winning two of three at their home field.
Tonight's starting match up features Jon Lester vs. Luke Hochevar. Both have similar stats, Lester at 2-2 with a 3.95 ERA on the season and Hochevar at 3-2 with a 3.94 ERA.
Tickets are still available for the remainder of the homestand!

Paul George knew leg injury was bad when he saw bone sticking out
Paul George met the media on Friday for the first time since suffering a compound right leg fracture during a Team USA scrimmage game on Aug. 1.
The Indiana Pacers forward was asked several questions about what was going through his head in those moments immediately after the gruesome injury took place.
He started off by giving the press a pretty basic answer.
Paul George: "I was in shock. I couldn't believe this happened to me. That was the only thing that was going through my head."
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) August 15, 2014
George followed that up with another thought, which really doesn't need any explanation.
Paul George: "When I looked down and saw my bone sticking out, I knew it was bad."
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) August 15, 2014
Anyone who saw the scene that evening knew the two-time NBA All-Star had to be in excruciating pain, but based on what he revealed today, it was worse than you could've imagined.
"It felt like gasoline was on my leg and someone set a match," said Paul George, about the pain he felt when he broke his leg.
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) August 15, 2014
Let's hope George has nothing but a pain-free existence from here on out.

France regrets the loss of life in Egyptian anti-government protests and supports calls for more democracy "in all countries," Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said Wednesday.
"I can only deplore that there were deaths, two among the demonstrators, one among the police," the minister told France's RTL radio.
"One must be able to demonstrate without there being violence, let alone deaths," she added.
Tuesday's demonstrations, dubbed "the day of anger" and inspired by the uprising in Tunisia, left two protesters and one policeman dead.
"It is not about France interfering," Alliot-Marie added, but "our principles are the principles of the rule of law, of non-interference but also an appeal for more democracy and freedom in all states."
Alliot-Marie was in Egypt on Saturday as part of a tour of the region, where she met President Hosni Mubarak.
Asked about the parallels with Tunisia, where a popular uprising has forced president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali from power after 23 years, she said "situations are different in every country".
France was criticised for keeping officially silent during protests that led to Ali's ovethrow and Alliot-Marie came under pressure to resign after revelations that she had offered French support to the regime's police attempting to control the riots.

At least eight people - four Dutch, two Belgian and two Peruvian - have been killed in a road traffic accident in Peru. The Peruvian passengers and foreign tourists were travelling in a bus which was involved in a head-on collision with a goods vehicle.
There were 33 people on the bus. Reports say more than 25 people were injured in the accident and have been taken to hospital. The collision is thought to have been caused by a second bus as it attempted to overtake. The drivers of both the bus and lorry were killed.
The accident happened in the south of Peru, near the border with Bolivia, in the vicinity of Lake Titicaca, a popular tourist attraction.

Shindig : An Architectural Overview ( PHP Version)
Author : Rajdeep Dua
June 08,2008
This article is based on Shindig PHP code available in svn in May 2008
Social Networking has taken the internet from read only mode to a real collaborative mode intertwined with human networks. This has opened up unlimited ways in which the information can be stored, retrieved and used. OpenSocial attempts to reduce the pain for application developers to write applications from scratch for various Social networking sites.
OpenSocial is a specification which envisions a write once, run anywhere mantra in the Social Networking space. Shindig is a reference implementation of OpenSocial specifications for developers to develop against container providers. The Shindig code base can be used as a starting point and modified for Social networking sites which want to join the OpenSocial revolution.
The goal of this open source project is to be language neutral and provide implementation in multiple languages. Currently Java and PHP implementations are available. In the previous article I had outlined the Architectural Components of the Java Version. Since a lot of Social Networking sites are based on PHP, Shindig's PHP version can be an option for them if they want their site to be a pure play PHP based site.
Shindig Components
Since the PHP version of Shindig has been ported from the Java Version, concepts like HTTP Servlet have been ported to a light weight HTTPServlet Implementation. The PHP version has a single entry point and all the calls are routed through index.php using Apache's mod_rewrite module.
Similar to the java version the PHP version also has 3 major server side components.
- Persistent Data Loading Mechanism
- Gadget Rendering Infrastructure
- OpenSocial server side implementation
Figure 1 describes these components in more detail. All the three components are accessed using HTTP / HTTPs through a Web Server. OpenSocial Server side components and Persistent Data Access Layer share a common Servlet Class ( GadgetDataServlet ), while Gadget Rendering components have a separate Servlet class as their entry point ( GadgetRenderingServlet).
Figure 1 : Components of Shindig Server Side container
The container consists of 6 different servlet classes. We describe how each of these map to server side components listed above
Figure 2 : Class diagram of various servlets within the Shindig container
All the servlets are subclasses of HttpServlet and serve as independent entry points at runtime. This architecture adoption has to do with the way in which Shindig has evolved.
- FilesServlet
- Hard wires /gadgets/files to <shindig>/javascript , this helps in finding the HTML, JS, CSS files. This servlet is unique to PHP Shindig Implementation.
- GadgetDataServlet -
- Takes requests for loading social data from file into DataObjects
- Takes requests for OpenSocial APIs
- GadgetRenderingServlet
- Converts Gadget Xml into HTML
- Proxy Servlet
- Takes requests for URL Gadgets connects to the remote URL, fetches the content converts it into JSON and sends it back.
- JsServlet
- Used for Loading JS libraries from external sources in URL gadgets
- RpcServlet
- Used to handle RPC metadata requests
Home page of the SampleContainer
Figure 3 : Sequence diagram explaining how the SampleContainer.html is loaded by the FilesServlet.php
Persistent Data Loading Mechanism
This layer is responsible for loading the persistent social data which includes- Person details, friends list, activities associated with a Person. In the default implementation this is stored in an XML file.
The GadgetDataServlet provides the entry point for the Persistent loading mechanism. This layer is pretty much pluggable and can be easily replaced with a more robust persistence mechanism. OpenSocialData Handler is used to populate the OpenSocial objects and query them. OpensocialDataHandler knows which handlers to invoke for loading the data from the XML file. The type of handler invoked depends on the kind of request.
Gadget Rendering Infrastructure
Gadget Rendering infrastructure has client side and server side components. It is responsible for generation of Gadget HTML from the Gadget Xml.
Client Side Components
gadget.js --> JavaScript library which calls the GadgetRenderingServlet.
Server Side Components :
- GadgetRenderingServlet
- GadgetServer
- GadgetSpecParser
- HTTPFetcher
- Gadget
Diagram below explains the sequence in more detail on how HTML is generated from the Gadget Xml and sent back to the browser.
Figure 4 : Collaboration flow on how the Gadget XML gets converted into HTML by the GadgetRenderingServlet and its downstream components
OpenSocial Server Side Implementation
We will be covering this scenario in more detail using the collaboration diagram. This diagram will show the call flow from the client side to the server side.
Client Side Components:
All the javascript calls to the server are made either through the GadgetContainer or the OpenSocial Container on the client side. Figure 6 depicts the APIs and client side container interaction.
Figure 5 : Client Side Java Script Objects and their interaction.
Shindig supports the following OpenSocial features for the 0.7 version .The javascript files for these features are available in Shindig in the directory <root>/features
- open-social-0.7
- opensocial-reference
All the Java script files within these are added to the generated HTML.
Figure 6 provides the details of various classes which represent and store the social graph on the client side for OpenSocial APIs.
Figure 6 : OpenSocial Model Class diagram
Server Side Components
All the OpenSocial calls are received by GadgetDataServlet and passed on to an instance of OpenSocialDataHandler. The actual type of data handler called depends on the type of request. List below is representative of the types for OpenSocial APIs.
- FETCH_PEOPLE : Get Person data
- FETCH_PERSON_APP_DATA : Get the data attributes for a person
- UPDATE_PERSON_APP_DATA : update attributes of a person
- FETCH_ACTIVITIES : Get List of activities for a Particular Person
- CREATE_ACTIVITY : create Activity associated with a Person
In the PHP implementation, OpenSocialDataHandler is responsible for handling all the requests. Figure 6a shows the Class diagram and Object composition which is involved in loading data for Person, Activities and Persistence from the Xml file
Figure 6a : Class and Object composition diagram for handlers responsible for loading and persisting social graph and related data in the Xml file.
GadgetDataServlet holds an array of handlers and has the mapping for which handler to call based on the nature of the call. In PHP implementation OpenSocialDataHandler is the only handler through which the flow goes. It extends the GadgetDataHandler and holds object instances of BasicPeopleService, BasicActivitiesService and BasicDataService.All the three services extend the corresponding abstract classes and are part of the SampleContainer. BasicPeopleService, BasicActivitiesService and BasicDataService eachof these classes use a single instance of XmlStateFileFetcher to parse and load data from the xml state file.
We will take FETCH_PEOPLE as an example and go through the flow in the figure below. BasicPeopleService is a wrapper on XML file based Persistent store which is used in Shindig .( XML file based implementation is just for demonstration, needs to be replaced by a more robust persistent mechanism)
This service loads, parses and stores the data of Person, Friends, Activities in memory in arrays in PHP (it was Maps in the Java version). Depending on the nature of call data is retrieved in memory, converted into JSON object(18) and sent back (19,20,21 ) to the client side for presentation.
Figure 7 : Collaboration diagram tracing call to view friends from client side javascript to server side components and back
Replacing the default Sample Container persistent store with a Custom Store
The diagram below expands the discussion so far into one figure. The OpenSocial Sample Container piece is the actual runtime by default. It consists of 3 services, BasicPeopleService, BasicActivitiesService and BasicDataService.
Figure 8 : Shindig architecture components and Sample Container Implementation
For Custom Persistent implementation the following classes in Figure 10 need to be replaced and implemented according to the storage mechanism being put in place. The handler class name also needs to be configured in config.php. For example, if we have a customer handler with a name 'MyHandler', the configuration will be 'handlers' => 'MyHandler'. There are other classes which can be easily replaced like Gadget blacklist , remote content fetcher and caching mechanism. Containers might want to modify or have their own custom implementation.
Shindig's basic implementation is a good starting point for somebody interested in getting started quickly on OpenSocial in their networking web sites. We explained how the container has a single entry point implemented using index.php and mod_rewrite module in Apache. The actual implementation is a straight port of servlet concept from the Java world with a basic Http servlet as a starting point. The rendering and social data access are independent components and can be replaced depending on the needs for it has to be used. Towards end of the article we talk about the pluggable nature of the data persistent layer. The pluggability in the architecture is a big help in adapting it quickly to the exact storage model required to be plugged in.
Shindig itself is a moving target with an active community and OpenSocial's evolving spec,but is a very good starting point for container providers looking for a head start.

Hate Crimes Statistically Rare
October 1, 2001
Crimes motivated by hatred for a person's race, religion or other characteristics remain an extremely small percentage of all offenses, according to the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics. According to the report:
- There were 2,976 hate crimes reported to the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System between 1997 and 1999.
- That represents a tiny fraction of one percent of the nation's 5.4 million crimes reported over the three years.
So-called hate crimes have attracted special attention since the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington because hundreds of Americans of South Asian or Middle Eastern descent -- or just people with beards, turbans or veils -- have been victims of threats and beatings. The FBI is investing about 90 such incidents.
The 2,976 incidents were categorized as hate crimes when police could determine the victim was targeted based on race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or national origin.

Cody Garbrandt has fired plenty of verbal shots at TJ Dillashaw in the last few months, but the latter believes Urijah Faber is likely the real cause for all the drama.
Ever since Dillashaw elected to go train with Team Elevation in Colorado, and was subsequently barred from Team Alpha Male, Garbrandt has been highly critical of his former teammate. Initially, there was more of a feud between Dillashaw and the TAM founder Faber, but now that Dillashaw and Garbrandt are set to fight sometime later this year, their beef has reached new levels.
Garbrandt and Dillashaw are set to coach opposite one another on the upcoming season of TUF, and recently they were on hand at a media day to promote the show. While discussing his rivalry with Garbrandt, Dillashaw had this to say (quote via MMA Fighting):
"Cody should have no involvement in this at all," Dillashaw said. "He was coming in, I was on my way out, for the most part. We were never friends. It wasn't like I did anything to dishonor him or whatever. I think it's more Urijah pumping these guys up and continuing to push this trash and build this team, which is money in his pocket. Every guy that fights from there pays him. I think it's him being the mastermind behind this whole thing."
"You think you make friendships for a lifetime and they seemed to turn pretty quick," Dillashaw added. "You're disappointed with certain people. I wasn't always close with everyone. I wasn't ever really friends with Garbrandt. We weren't really that close…"
Regardless of whether Garbrandt has been pushed by Faber or not, chances are things are only going to get worse between "No Love" and Dillashaw. The former bantamweight champ also claimed during the media day that Garbrandt has been an "ass" during the filming of TUF 25. Now, could they be pushing their rivalry just to pump the show and their fight? Possibly. But it certainly doesn't seem like it's completely fabricated either.
TUF 25 will begin airing on FS1, April 19th.

|Return/Replacement policy:
"Horrible customer service. They screwed up 2 different orders with defective product that simply did not work. I had to pay to return a defective product and then they claimed they did not receive it.
STAY AWAY. I have ordered from Focalprice and other web sites without these problems."
"Highly recommend this website!"
"I highly recommend this shop. Goods prices, very good support, free and fast shipping and a lot of items. I personally bought a lot items for myself or for friend. Shipping very fast, items packages are very strong, so items can't be broken in shipping process. Items are good quality, not like in others shops. I think this shop has the best price and quality ratio. To conclude i want to say if you looking cheaper items in China, this shop must be the first in your list. A lot of items, good prices, professional support. I highly recomend it! :)"
"A complete nightmare ! Item received 2-3 weeks after order. Worked for 2 weeks (power adapter for a toshiba laptop). Ask for a replacement and sent proof (video) of the problem. BudgetGadgets accepted to send a replacement. 2-3 weeks later, I received the wrong adapter... I sent a picture and asked for a replacement. They asked me to send back both adapters... cost me 17,34$ which is more than the price of the adapter that I ordered ! So now I asked for a refund and I hope I will get it ! 2 months lost waiting for a laptop adapter and lost 17,34$ in the process... Buyer be aware !!!"
"This is one of my favorites online stores. I bought several items from them (watches mostly) and every time I got my product fast and without any problems. I will surely buy more from them!"
"I bought several items from BudgetGadgets.com
One thing that is true is that they are not scammer.
Overall: 4/5
- They offers Free Shipping worldwide (No minimum order needed)
- Paypal Secured payment
- 30 Days Money Back Guarantee. Not satisfied with product, can refund
- Product at great price
- "Price Match" Service
Something bad about the website
- Does not have a wide range of products to choose from
- Shipping will take some times for some countries (Free)
- Hate the way they do things sometimes - i bought a product last time, its out of stock. They did not contact me until I email them and they made a replacement."
"To those that are interested in purchasing from budgetgadgets this is the review for you. Budgetgadgets sells high quality gadgets at low prices. Their staff are very kind and polite. If you have a question they will reply promptly and adequately. I have purchased around 10 items from Budget Gadgets and have enjoyed all of them. Of those 10 things is my H6 phone. It works great and the call quality in the US is amazing. Overall, they are a great wholesale/personal/reselling company to buy from. By the way they are located in Shenzen,China and yet my package arrives around a week.
Hope this helped,
"I have recieved several items from BudgetGadgets. So far I have no complaints on their products. The first item I received was a sports watch. Great watch that even survived after being dunked in water. One item in particular that I like is the USB car charger. I was in need of one and this one works great. If hubby didn't already have a car charger I would get him one too. "
"I have to say that I'm extremely impressed by this company. Not only is there customer service staff polite, but they correct any shipping issues that might occur very quickly. I've ordered from BG a few times, plus have won freebies twice. They have a few choices in shipping options, the best being FREE WORLDWIDE! I'm a resident of Canada and each of my orders arrived a lot sooner than I had expected. They are a friendly and fun company that seem to take a real interest in their customers, especially with their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Ordering from this company is great, especially since they have an affiliate program that awards you BG points for referring other people to join and make purchases. You end up earning 5% of what your referrals spend. Plus, they also reward you with BG points if you return to their site to write reviews, take photos, and take videos of the product that you purchased.
They have a great variety of gadgets and other items which include watches, phones, cameras, and other great stuff. Their prices seem almost unbeatable and once you see the cost, you'll know that you won't have to look anywhere else to attempt to find a better price. I love this site and hope that they are around for a VERY long time, as I can see myself ordering numerous things from them."
"I have both bought and received free items from BudgetGadgets. Other than a problem encountered in the order process of some of the free items(which was corrected in a professional and timely manner), it has been a pleasure doing business with them. They carry a wide variety of products at real reasonable prices. Their customer service is more than happy to help with any problems that you may have and as far as shipping, you have your choice of options. They have occasional giveaways which are quite enjoyable and an excellant way to showcase some of their products. I highly recommend checking them out and I am sure you will find a "gadget" that you will just have to have!"
"I came across BudgetGadgets by chance and i am so happy i did. I love how many neat electronics they have and how in expensive they are! Plus they sent me a free gift! Very awesome, i highly recommend them!"
"Received my order in a timely manner and the item was great!! I will order from BudgetGadgets again!"
"I love this site! They have such awesome products at great prices and even have free giveaways occasionally, which is nice! Everything always arrives fast and is packaged well. The last item I received was the flashlight keychain, and I can't believe how bright it is! They have great customer service as well. Will definately recommend BudgetGadgets to everyone!"
"I have ordered 3 items from Budget Gadgets and I am very satisfied with everything. All of my items have came packed well and the shipping was very quickly considering the distance. The items are a great value and worth more than the asking price. For example, the last item I got was a FREE led key chain flashlight. You would typically think cheap, piece of junk item, but that's false!! This is very nice, much brighter than the $7 light I bought my husband 2 weeks ago from our local auto parts store.It's a very nice item and it was free. But my favorite thing about Budget Gadgets is their customer service. They are so friendly and helpful and unfortunately that is very uncommon these days. Budget Gadgets treats you well and helps you get nice things without spending a lot of money. I trust them and know I'll get what I paid for!!"
"I have received several items, some free, some I payed for but all at great prices, all of my items arrived quickly, were packages very well so no damage came to them. I love that you can pay with paypal as I do not use credit cards.I am a big fan now and as soon as I have receive more money in my paypal account I will be ordering more items.Thanks Budgetgadets
Wanda Jean. My favorite is the coke-bottle cap keycahin watch"

Occassionally I get a craving for Greek food but don't want to travel all the way to Queens if I don't have the time to cook at home.
It can be an easy taco stand like place such as Gyro World on Northern Blvd in Flushing, or a more restaurant type place like MP Taverna in Roslyn.
I have tried Greek Towne in Rockville Centre. Not a fan.
I have been to MP Taverna in Roslyn several times, but it is very inconsistant in the food and limited, catering exclusively to non-Greeks, so the food isn't really doing it for me.
Gyro Palace on Sunrise in Merrick is the opposite of what I want.
Hellas Greek on Jeruselem in North Bellmore actually has OK souvlaki sticks, but that's it.
The Greek Grill of Huntington made a seftalia sandwich for me once that was ok, the next TWO visits it was absolutely inedible.
Neraki in Huntington does a lunch special that can feed me for lunch, but the grilled octopus was only good on my first visit. It failed on two other occassions and the *two* overcooked grilled shrimp on my last visit signed me off to this place.
Mediteranian Snack Bar and Scorpios in Huntington are a must avoid at all cost.
Gyrolicious in East Meadow has become a must avoid at all cost as well.
Greek Delight on Merrick Rd Bellmore serves nothing Greek, at all.
Santorini on Merrick Ave in Merrick is somewhat popular with non Greeks, but isn't doing anything worthy of a stop there.
Ethos in Great Neck scared us.
I haven't been back to Alexandros since they closed the place in the first location (years ago) and remember some very garlicky and ice cold chick peas as an amuse bouche. Would like to hear Chowhound opinions on this place.
Athena in Amityville did a respectable rendition of a dish once a while back that I would call "spetsofai", the menu just said "spicy Greek sausage and peppers" or something like that, but it was swimming in a pool of soy oil.
Grecian Grill in Farmingdale does an interesting, albeit non-greek, take on the chicken souvlaki, but that's it.
Limani in Roslyn is purley not Greek.
Pita Lovers East Meadow and Wantagh is a huge miss.
Souvlaki Place in Bayville boggles my mind how they have been there so long.
Some place on Hempstead Turnpike in Franklin Square that was/is changing hands regularly had once made me a dry but tasty chicken souvlaki and paired it with yesterdays (or last weeks) lemon potatoes.
The Greek on Park in Massapequa Park is not what I'm looking for.
I'm sure there are more places to try. I haven't been to all of them, but willing to get myself to as many as I can. I know most of them are gyro joints. Whatever. I am not looking to try all the commercial gyro varieties out there though. Just as long as it's not a grilled fish joint. I am not on a trek to find that "one perfectly grilled fish". I make that at home infinitely better and more traditionally Greek as I do steaks as well.
What Greek or Greek style places are your favorites?
I'd like to hear from fellow chowhounds about Greek.
P.S. No offense, but, please, with all respect, no diners, no turkish places and no middle eastern places calling themselves 'mediterranean' or Greek. :-)

Building the Bridge with Businesses – Schools and Community
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business federation representing the interests ofmore than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambersand industry associations.
ASD is a developmental disability that typically appears in the first 3 years of life.
There are an estimated 750,000 students with ASD in US public schools
Often high school transition services fall short in providing the appropriate services to prepare for employment
Individuals with ASD have limited opportunities for career development and work experience matched to their interests during their high school years.
" Part of the problem, I believe, is rooted in the fact that these well-intentioned systems, designed decades ago, were created with little expectation that Americans with disabilities would ever be anything more than be recipients of care, that they could not, in fact, become contributors to our economy, our tax base, and our communities."

NEXUS is committed to action. Through our Summits we build networks, facilitate learning, and inspire collaboration. As a movement we advocate for and influence the creation of public policies that help increase and improve philanthropy as well as to advance the potential of youth. We have developed the following initiatives to serve as action points for the growing NEXUS network.
NEXUS Campaign for Philanthropy
Recognizing the value of tax incentives for philanthropy, the power of public-private partnerships for philanthropic work, and the social value of public generosity and donor education, we advocate for public policies that support more effective philanthropy and social impact investing. Read more here.
NEXUS Learning Journeys
In an effort to help the NEXUS membership to strengthen its leadership skills we have conducted two learning journeys, one to the Arctic and one to the African Savanna.
NEXUS Platform
As a platform, we encourage and support participant-led collaborative projects that are new, innovative and scalable and that develop new knowledge and social impact. Several independent projects that have come from the NEXUS community so far include:
|Satisfeito is a global movement that prevents food waste and combats child hunger by providing restaurants and their customers with the chance to help non-profit organizations around the world.
|PVBLIC Foundation is an in-kind grant-making organization that harnesses the power of unused media assets to drive social change.
|Constellation is an imaging system that empowers patients to conduct quick, cost-effective, full body scans for signs of skin cancer every month in the privacy of their homes, or in health clubs, doctors' offices and other commercial settings.
|Good Super is Australia's first social impact retirement fund. With a highly differentiated investment mandate, the fund seeks to deliver a competitive financial return while investing in profitable socially responsible companies.
|Organize is a new venture working to decrease the organ shortage in the US, and ultimately abroad, by applying smarter and more streamlined technologies, building creative partnerships, and advocating for data-driven policies.
|The Orphan Opportunity Fund supports extraordinary local leaders that care for critically vulnerable children living without parents around the world.
|The Next Mile Project provides nonprofits with committed pro-bono legal and professional services, access to subject matter experts, a source of funding, and knowledge resources from peer nonprofits in a collaborative workspace on the Boston waterfront.
|The Common Ground Donor Network convenes high-level, public policy philanthropists from across religious, cultural, and ideological divides to break bread, discuss issues, and explore collaboration.
The Future
Driven by our annual Global Youth Summit and Regional Youth Summits, NEXUS initiatives showcase positive role-models, develop shared learning experiences, and demonstrate the potential of partnership working across diverse communities.
