Thinking about how you want your property and other assets distributed after your death can be difficult enough. However, during the estate planning process, your attorney may ask you if you've given any consideration to your burial plan preferences.
Final arrangements and estate planning
Why California parents should include a special needs trust
Estate planning is a wonderful opportunity for a young family to provide for future security. One of the more distressful concerns is a child with special needs. Parents realize the child will likely need long-term care. How can they ensure the best future for their special needs child?
The big reason an incentive trust may not work
When people talk about incentive trusts, they often point out the benefits: You get to help your heirs become the best versions of themselves, and then they get their inheritance when they follow the path you set for them. Incentives could include refraining from illegal drug use, getting a college education, starting a business, starting a family and much more.


text: Gaps in the market for gutter waste Written by: Peter Hayes | Published: 04 July 2018 Dewatered grit from a CDEnviro plant Comment on this article Attitudes to resource management, and our abilities to recover and reuse material, have perhaps never been better, but there are still areas where we aren't maximising our opportunities. Growing awareness of environmental issues, along with legislative levers designed to move our society from a linear 'extract, use and dispose' culture to one that values resources and keeps them in use as long as possible through the 'circular economy', are having a dramatic impact on a number of industries, not least the waste management sector. Less glamorous resources Media headlines are often grabbed by changing attitudes to 'big ticket' items such as single-use plastics, but we are also beginning to see – and recover – the value in even unpromising materials, such as street sweepings. However, a similar source material, gully waste, is still being largely overlooked here in the UK with a lack of processing facilities available to sort and recover the components trapped in gullies. This is despite the Environment Agency, as far back as 2012, instructing all composters in England and Wales not to use street sweepings and gully waste residues to produce compost due to the contaminants that would be present with such treatment, which should have been a trigger for improved facilities. Gully waste is collected from roads, car parks and airports and any areas where water won't naturally drain away. It's fair to say that when faced with the collection of materials present in this waste – including glass, plastic and metal fragments, gravel, organic material, oil, heavy metals and other chemicals, along with sand, silt and stones – it can be hard to recognise the mess as a potential revenue source, but we need to ensure that view can be changed. High water content needs to be removed before disposal, but that alone isn't the best solution for gully waste. With disposal costs and resultant operating costs high, the incentives are clear for companies providing gully emptying services to ensure they maximise resource recovery and reduce the weight of any material. There are obvious benefits to the environment too, both in terms of the reduction of material to be disposed of and the reuse of materials meaning less mining of virgin materials. A weighty issue The largest constituent of gully waste by some way is water; simply leaving the material to drain is time-consuming, ineffective and requires a sealed-drainage system. The weight of the water contributes significantly to transport and disposal costs and to environmentally damaging emissions. The largely liquid nature of gully waste also means it is banned from landfill under the Landfill Directive 2002. Even if operators took no other steps there would be a great benefit in investing in systems to 'dewater' the gully waste as close to source as possible. However, an additional issue is that the potentially hazardous nature of gully waste often requires a number of transport, treatment and analysis operations that mean one solution won't fit all. Therefore it makes sense to go beyond dewatering and benefit from the collected resources. Specialist bespoke gully waste recycling systems separate, sort and dewater materials regardless of input quality or quantity. The best systems will also reduce contamination levels, allowing safe reuse. For example, we estimate that around 95% of a gully's content is natural material that can be reclaimed for reuse. This is often washed grit, clean sand or oversized stone for construction projects, organic material for composting, or energy from waste use. New processing solutions include systems to screen and scrub material to ensure effective removal of contaminants, sand washing plant and water treatment systems. Using a trommel at the start of the process can protect the system and removes oversized contaminants from the feed system. A decanter can also be used to maximise recycled water. With new advanced liquid/solid separation modules, and multi-stage chemical dosing systems, a very high quality of water is achieved. Growing importance As disposal costs will only continue to rise, recycling gully waste becomes even more relevant. Reducing the reliance on landfill as a disposal option not only reduces companies' costs but also the environmental impacts. In the past, all the material in gully waste would have eventually gone to landfill, incurring significant disposal costs, but top solutions can now successfully divert up to 99.7% of waste away from this destination. Investing in the future By investing in our recycling technology, operators are safeguarding their business for years to come. One of our current customers, Irish Waste, for example, collects around 12,000 tonnes of street sweepings and gully waste material from around Northern Ireland every year which had been going to landfill. With the increasing cost of landfill, a solution was required that would significantly reduce the volume, and therefore cost, of disposal. Thanks to the solution we developed for them – which encompasses a series of techniques including a two-stage density separation process, attrition and high-pressure wet processing – the vast majority of that waste material is now diverted from landfill. Instead, thanks to the superior separation of lightweight and fine constituents, through a series of density separation techniques, the client achieves the highest quality end products. For Irish Waste, these products are a 5-40mm aggregate, 0-4mm fine aggregate and an organic fraction which are being used in a variety of construction applications including trench fill, pipe bedding and non-structural concrete mixes. Another customer, UBU Environmental, found that with ever increasing landfill costs and taxes, it was becoming unsustainable to keep taking this type of waste to landfill. Instead, thanks to the solution we devised, it is now able to use the processed material for pipe bedding for utilities. The company has already used the products around its own site and the quantity of material being recovered means it plans to market the products externally as well. They could even end up being used on the sites they were collected from in the first place; a truly circular approach to resource management! Mind the gap As well as the costs of landfill, gully waste can have other financial impacts. Keeping gullies clear is vital to ensure debris doesn't build up, potentially damaging infrastructure, nearby buildings and passing vehicles. Blocked gullies can also pose a flood risk, particularly after increasingly regular incidents of heavy rain or because people have poured inappropriate material, such as commercial waste – including sand and concrete – down them. Gully waste is also unsightly, negatively affecting the perception of an area. However, with the solutions available to reduce landfill costs and provide an extra revenue source, gully waste does not have to be a burden any more. Like other materials once considered solely as waste, the material in gullies needs to be recognised as a resource and increasingly collected, processed and diverted from landfill. Operators have the opportunity to close a gap in the waste management market while ensuring our gullies are kept open and free-flowing.

International Centre for Cruise Research
A virtual centre for research and for researchers
Jaakson, Reiner. "BEYOND THE TOURIST BUBBLE?: Cruiseship Passengers in Port,"
Annals of Tourism Research
, 2004,31:1 (January), 44-60
Cruiseship passengers on a port visit were studied using observation research methods. The cruiseship sector is described briefly, and the evolution of the concept of tourist bubble is reviewed. The study was carried out in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Observations were made of tourists from four cruiseships. The research generated both qualitative and quantitative data. The results show that passenger activities in port consist of four activity patterns. The area in port visited was identified as a tourist bubble consisting of a core and a periphery. Strong boundary cues define the spatiality of this space.

DECATUR, Ga. — Sixteen ministers have been named to participate in the 2016-2018 cohort of the Fellows program of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. Launched in 2012 with financial support from the Lilly Foundation, the CBF Fellows program assists young Baptist clergy in their "first-call" in making a healthy transition from seminary into congregational ministry. CBF Fellows are provided with practical resources within the context of a supportive peer-based cohort.
"The goal of CBF Fellows is to offer these young Baptist ministers essential resources not just to guard against burnout or isolation, but to empower them to thrive as ministers," said Joshua Speight, CBF's missional congregations resources manager and director of CBF Fellows. "A second goal, but just as important, is for CBF to support and engage each congregation during the cohort, to encourage them as they discern the best way to nurture the minister that God has called to serve in their community. CBF Fellows prayerfully invests in the lives of these ministers so that they will commit to serving congregations for many years to come."
CBF makes a two-year commitment to the Fellows and their congregations to support, learn from and encourage them in a variety of ways and settings. The formal program consists of five cohort gatherings that take place in conjunction with Fellowship conferences and retreats such as General Assembly and ChurchWorks. This third CBF Fellows cohort will kick off in August with an orientation retreat at First Baptist Church, Decatur, Ga.
During the course of the two-year cohort, seasoned faculty work with and guide the Fellows through a curriculum developed by CBF and the Center for Congregational Health. Fellows participate in monthly conference calls, a closed social media site for daily support and individual coaching sessions. To increase the reach and effectiveness of the Fellows program, congregations commit to providing a Minister Encouragement Team to offer regular encouragement each Fellow needs to sustain her or him between cohort gatherings. Additionally, congregations provide non-vacation time away for the Fellow to participate in retreats.
The new 2016-2018 cohort marks the third group of ministers named as CBF Fellows. In June at the 2016 CBF General Assembly in Greensboro, N.C., the second cohort of 24 CBF Fellows will conclude their two-year journey together.
The individuals listed below will journey together as the 2016-2018 CBF Fellows cohort:
- Ben Brown, First Baptist Church, Waynesboro, Va.
- Aaron Coyle-Carr, New Bessemer Baptist Church, McLeansville, N.C.
- Lacey Davis, First Baptist Church, Laurinburg, N.C.
- Melissa Kessler, Grandin Court Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va.
- Meg Lacey, Emerywood Baptist Church, High Point, N.C.
- Amy McClure, First Baptist Church on Fifth, Winston-Salem, N.C.
- Sarah Gordon Mears, Hayes Barton Baptist Church, Raleigh, N.C.
- Joshua Owens, First Baptist Church, Monroe, N.C.
- Tiffany Brown Seaford, First Baptist Church, Mocksville, N.C.
- Sarah Rogers Greenfield, First Baptist Church, Abilene, Texas
- Robin Priddy, First Baptist Church, Waco, Texas
- Emily Holladay, Broadway Baptist Church, Louisville, Ky.
- Curt Lowndes, First Baptist Church, Morehead, Ky.
- Amanda Standiford, Lexington Avenue Baptist Church, Danville, Ky.
- Daniel Potter, First Baptist Church, Columbus, Ga.
- Karen Zimmerman, Peachtree Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga.
CBF is a Christian Network that helps people put their faith to practice through ministry efforts, global missions and a broad community of support.The Fellowship's mission is to serve Christians and churches as they discover and fulfill their God-given mission.

The rabbis of the Talmud began a process of alienating us from nature, here is but one example. We are told in Exodus to celebrate Pesach in the month of Aviv. In the description of the effect of the plague of hail on the crops we learn that aviv is a stage in the development of the barley crop that is vulnerable to damage by hail. Factually, this is the stage of the plant 15- 21 days before the barley can be harvested. Aviv is Hebrew for spring. In the Babylonian exile the name of the month was changed to Nissan which means first fruits.
The Hebrew calendar is a 19 year cycle, seven of those years contain an extra month of Adar, in order to keep the lunar and solar calendars in synch. Prior to the mathematical computation of the calendar in the 4th century CE it was done by observation. In the Talmud the rabbis recorded that " For the following three things a leap year is made: because of the late arrival of spring; of the unripeness of tree products; and for the late arrival of the equinox." Pesach had to come after the equinox and the barley had to be ready. The bible instructs that the cutting of the first barley sheaves had to take place during Passover, thus it had to be ripe. On the last day of Adar the barley would be inspected if it was not yet in the stage of Aviv, 2-3 weeks from ripening , an extra month was declared , hence Adar Sheini.
The Jewish calendar was dependent on the stage of the crops, to fulfill our rituals we had to be in synch with the earth. The biblical approach is to create a watchful balance between history- linear time, and nature- cyclical time.
The rabbis replaced visual observation with mathematical computation after the temple was destroyed and the barley was no longer brought to the temple. The nature aspect of the holiday began to dwindle in consciousness and importance-which was likely the intent of the rabbis trying to create a new Judaism no longer linked to the land.
It is now time to recreate a Judaism deeply linked to the earth.

Growing up in Boyne City, Cal Deming has always been interested in carving fish. "People call me up to get fish made, but I stick to freshwater fish," said Demming. "It could be anything like perch or blue gill." Since his retirement from Honeywell 22 years ago, Deming has been taking his art form to new levels, even intriguing people from far away to purchase some of his work.[private]
"A guy found a decoy down in Tennessee and gave me call," said Deming. "He came up and bought a whole bunch of decoys, and now they're scattered all over the place."
Deming said his interest in fish carving was sparked when his grandfather used to go on fishing trips with him; his grandfather always used a decoy to call in fish and then spear them when they were close enough. "I used to do a lot of spearing – when it was legal to spear lake trout – and it was something else fun to do way back in 52′," he said. Deming uses basswood to carve with because it is the easiest wood to work with and it is very tough.
"It doesn't take long to whittle them out, but painting on them and designing the type of fish your working on can take a while," he said. Surprisingly, Deming said, you don't need a lot of tools to carve fish, but there are some things you can't avoid. Using a band saw, for instance, is crucial to cutting the basswood, and you will eventually need a vice and a wood rasp to cut the wood down and scrape it – to get it shaped out correctly. Deming, at one point, used wooden tails but has refrained from using them lately, resorting to metal fins that won't break easily instead. "I used to use water paint, too, but I don't use it anymore because the paint will chip, so I switched to oil based paints," he said.
Deming went on to say that he enjoys creating fish and decoys, and he believes it's a good thing for him to do after retirement. "I like making spears. I've made some big ones, hammering them out," said Deming. "It takes a lot of time hammering." According to Deming, he believes he has created hundreds of different fish, and when they begin to run low from people purchasing them, he has no problem making more. "When I get done painting and carving, and if there's about forty left, I'll just go and build them back up," he said.
While he also enjoys using a forge to create spears, Deming does not work on them as often anymore, however, he said he still enjoys making spears when he can. "Sometimes you get a nice day to go outdoors and get going on the forge, but it does take a lot of hammering," Deming said.
His interest in crafting spears came from when he was a kid and took day trips to visit a local blacksmith to watch him work. "When I was a kid, way back in school between fourth and fifth grade, I used to go downtown and watch Jim Habasco hammer all the time," Deming said. "He could really hammer them out." 85 year-old Deming is happy with the positive responses he has received about his work, and it appears he will continue doing what makes me happy – carving decoys and forging spears.[/private]

Morrisons has named former Tesco director, David Potts, as its new chief executive following weeks of speculation of who would succeed Dalton Phillips who announced he was stepping down in January.
Morrisons CEO David Potts
Morrisons has named former Tesco director, David Potts, as its new chief executive following weeks of speculation of who would succeed Dalton Phillips who announced he was stepping down in January.
Phillips was due to leave the chain in March, but left the business earlier than expected saying the end of the financial year was an "appropriate time to relinquish his responsibilities". Potts arrival means there will be now three former Tesco directors running operations at Morrisons.
Chief financial officer Trevor Strain, a former Tesco man, had taken on the role on the until a replacement was found, aided by new chairman Andrew Higginson, also ex-Tesco, who joined the company in October.
Potts spent nearly 40 at rival Tesco, working his way from shelf-stacker to heading up the company's Asian business. He left the business in December 2011.
Analyst Clive Black of Shore Capital said Potts' appointment was no surprise, and he was a highly experienced and effective retail operator. Black said he would bring focus and pace to Morrisons, and his experience of working alongside Higginson and Strain at Tesco would be very important.
He said the supermarket's current strategy was unlikely to see material change, but operational adjustments were likely, including the "wholesale evolution" of the non-executive team that he said had "overseen some dreadful decision-making".
"The insights and emphasis that a very fit and sharp eyed Mr. Potts will bring should create a firmer basis for an improvement in sales at the company, and we know that the market is particularly sensitive to sales momentum in retail at this time," he said.
Kate Latham, managing director, retail, leisure and consumer at executive search firm, Norman Broadbent, said: "Morrisons has been struggling with the structural changes in grocery retailing for a number of years. David Potts, who was considered an inspirational leader at Tesco, known and respected by every store manager, will bring a wealth of experience to the table. David was also on the Tesco board when its market value tripled and helped move the business internationally and online.
"David has a strong track record of investing, nurturing and promoting talent. At a time when Morrisons' employees may be feeling a little unsure, David will motivate and galvanise a large group of people and in turn earn their trust."
Morrisons saw like-for-like sales fall 3.1% in the key Christmas trading period to January 4, the worst performing of the big four supermarkets.

Gophers freshman Nate Knoepke, a defenseman who has played in two games this season, left the team to join the Sioux City Musketeers of the United States Hockey League.
Knoepke, a 6-3, 200-pounder from Lakeville South, is expected to join the Musketeers after a holiday break, for three games between Dec. 28 and Dec. 31.
Taking his place on the Gophers roster is defenseman Clayton Phillips, an Edina native who spent parts of the past three seasons in the USHL with the Muskegon Lumberjacks and the Fargo Force.
"Adding Clayton to our roster bolsters our depth on the blue line. He's a dynamic player," coach Don Lucia said in a statement. "At the same time, Nate expressed a desire for more playing time, which we certainly understand. He'll have that opportunity with Sioux City, and the plan for him is to return to our program in the future."
Before playing for the Gophers, Knoepke was in the U.S. Development Program, appearing in 35 games for the USA Under-18 team during the 2016-17 season. He was part of the U18 team that won gold at last year's World Junior Championship.
The Gophers (10-9-1) are off until a home game against Army on Dec. 29.

Pitts picks up another Big Ten honor
Destiny Pitts, who scored 23 points and grabbed four rebounds in the Gophers women's basketball team's 112-68 victory over Cal Poly last week, was named Big Ten freshman of the week. The Detroit native made seven of 13 three-point shots, including three of five in the third quarter when Minnesota scored a season-high 33 points.
This is Pitts' third freshman of the week honor.
The Gophers (10-2) play California-Riverside on Friday at Williams Arena.

Say hello to Maduro, a new listening lounge and bar in Dempsey
Sound of music
Located among the hills on Dempsey, right above the French bistro Atout, Maduro will open its doors this Friday on 24 May to the public. Besides serving up some rare Scottish malts, vintage wines and a slew of well-made classic cocktails, Maduro prides itself on being a listening lounge and bar.
The music is slated to be as fluidly intoxicating as the liquors it serves. That means, it'll flow across genres from calm classical tunes during the day to uptempo jazzy vibes at night. Maduro will have two live music nights in a week: 1819 Tuesdays and Tiara Friday Club. Its first ever Tiara Friday Club night on 24 May will feature jazz singer Melissa Tham who is expected to belt out some old favourites from Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.
The man behind it all is just as mysterious as the joint itself (images of its interior haven't been released yet). All we know about the 64-year-old gentleman is that he was a sought-after pianist in 1980s before he became a bank-rolling real estate broker in London.
Watch this space as we'll be updating it with more images as soon as we receive them.
In the meantime, check out Maduro's FB page for more details.

Toby Time Wins: Port FC 1-0 Sukhothai FC
The pioneering 20th century social anthropologist E.E. Evans-Pritchard conducted most of his early research on the Azande, an indigenous African tribe living primarily in what is modern-day Democratic Republic of Congo. His fieldwork formed the basis of his classic text Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic Among the Azande. Published in 1937, the book champions the relativist theory of psychological attribution. Are you still following me? Well here's a good example from the book; 8 Azande people die when a termite infested door frame causes a house to collapse. Evans-Pritchard clearly sees evidence of termites in several areas but the Azande dismiss this notion and conclude that it was caused by witchcraft and start conducting elaborate ceremonies and rituals to regain the favour of the spirits and deities they worshipped. So who is right? Rational thought would automatically conclude that the termites caused it, but what if some higher power could control or effect them to carry out this whole episode that we know nothing about? Evans-Pritchard concluded that both were right; if your personal belief system convinces you it is true then it is true.

I feel like we're being brought back in time lately, because after Nintendo had such great success with the NES and SNES Classic, Sony quickly followed suit with the PS1 Classic. Atari also decided to make another console themselves with the VCS. Now Intellivision got brought back from the dead to present their new console called Amico.
Their new console falls behind the legacy of their past: The first 16-bit console, the first talking video game, the first sports licensing, and more. The Amico hopes to continue to bring a new innovation to gaming. Here are some of the features:
- HDMI and USB ports
- Interactive onboard lighting
- Wifi
- Wireless Bluetooth controllers w/touchscreen and directional disc
- Wireless charging
- Free downloadable app controllers
As far as the software, Intellivision says ALL of their games will be console exclusive. They will be priced from $2.99-$7.99 and will contain absolutely NO DLC OR IN APP PURCHASES. All of the classic games will be remade, as well as Atari classics and iMagic classics. On top of that, there will be 20 + brand new games at launch.
These are some very big claims here for a "new" console. How will the games look remastered? Will these games appeal to a newer generation that is so used to games with 3D graphics? All of these questions I hope can be answered soon. The console will cost $149-$179 and is set to drop on October 10th, 2020.

text: There is no question that having a massage makes you feel great. Even having a deep-tissue, sports massage makes you feel wonderful afterwards. Massage can relieve stress, help you recover from hard physical activity or injury and even reduce anxiety, but can it help you to achieve your weight loss goals?\r\nResearch shows that massage can have a positive effect on your muscle-building capabilities and fitness levels, which in turn increases your capacity to control or loose weight.\r\nHealthy strong muscles burn calories and give you the freedom to participate in all sorts of sports and activities that can help you burn excess calories and improve your overall fitness and wellbeing.\r\nMassage has the following benefits that can directly influence your ability to control or loose weight:\r\n1. Massage has been shown to improve circulation and the supply of nutrition to the muscles. Massage increases the interchange of vital substances between the blood and tissue cells, which increases tissue metabolism. After muscles are exercised, vital nutrients must be supplied to them so that they can recover and rebuild themselves. Massage maximizes the supply of these nutrients and oxygen though increased blood flow, which helps the muscles to grow and burn more calories as a result.\r\n2. Massage improves your muscles\u0027 range of motion and their flexibility. This allows them to maintain maximum power and performance while active, and burn the maximum number of calories in the process.\r\n3. Massage helps to shorten the recovery time needed between your workouts. Waste products such as lactic and carbonic acid build up in muscles during and after exercise. Increased circulation to these muscles helps to eliminate toxic debris buildup caused by these waste products and in doing so shorten recovery time.\r\n4. Massage can also help reduce the chance of you over-training. Massage has a relaxing effect on the muscles and a sedative effect on the nervous system. By helping you to rest, which is a very important element of any exercise program, massage can reduce the likelihood of you experiencing over-training syndrome, which is known to limit your ability to build strong healthy muscles and therefore loose weight with maximum efficiency.\r\n5. In addition to all of the above, massage may directly aid in fat loss. According to some research studies, massage is thought to be able to burst the fat capsule in subcutaneous tissue so that the fat exudes and becomes absorbed. In this way, combined with proper nutrition and exercise, massage may actually help in weight loss.\r\n6. As we have already touched upon, massage helps prevent and heal injuries. By stretching connective tissue, massage improves circulation to help prevent or break down adhesions and scar tissue that result from muscle tears and other common muscle injuries. Massage also influences the excretion of certain fluids (nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur) that aid in tissue repair. Fast and effective recovery from injuries means that you can begin exercising sooner after suffering an injury and getting your weight loss progress back on track.\r\nSo there you have it. Massage has a lot of benefits that can indirectly and possibly even directly aid you in achieving your weight loss goals.\r\nRegular massage is just as important a component as regular workouts and correct nutrition in any comprehensive fitness and weight loss program, which is great news for those of us who thought that exercising and losing weight was all hard work! Remember, weight loss is all about leading a balanced lifestyle and massage is an essential part of any balanced lifestyle.\r\nIf you haven\u0027t had a massage lately, what are you waiting for? Get on the phone and make yourself a booking. If you haven\u0027t had a massage before, just remember to have your massage done by a qualified massage therapist.\r\nAnd remember, have fun!\r\nArticle Source: 33223

A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum
10406 S Maryland Ave, Chicago, IL 60628
In 1995, Lyn Hughes founded the A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum to celebrate the life of A. Philip Randolph, as well as the role of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and other African Americans in the U.S. labor movement. Located in South Side, Chicago and housed in one of the original rowhouses built by George Pullman to house workers, it is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior's Pullman National Historic Landmark District. The museum houses a collection of artifacts and documents related to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.

We describe a very efficient method based on ultrasound RF time series analysis and support vector machine classification for generating probabilistic prostate cancer colormaps to augment the biopsy process. To form the RF time series, we continuously record ultrasound RF echoes backscattered from tissue while the imaging probe and the tissue are stationary in position. In an in-vitro study involving 30 prostate specimens, we show that the features extracted from RF time series are significantly more accurate and sensitive compared to two other established categories of ultrasound-based tissue typing methods. The method results in an area under ROC curve of 0.95 in 10-fold cross-validation.

The interface of both this community and the main Upwork site switches to mobile view when I zoom in. I don't want to see mobile view because I use either a laptop or desktop to view the site. With mobile view, lots of content is pushed off the screen and navigation becomes difficult.
Please fix this Upwork.
May 2, 2019 12:29:43 PM by Valeria K
Hi Heaven,
Upwork is a responsive site and this is how it works by design for all responsive sites. Zooming in modifies the window width and the layout is based on the window width. Smaller width means mobile experience is shown.
I'm sorry you find it inconvenient. You can try this workaround our developers shared for Chrome:
- Open chrome devtools
- Switch to mobile mode
- Find viewport meta in Elements tab, and change initial-scale=1 to a larger value

Was my thread moved? I thought I had posted this in the Freelancers' sub-forum.
I realize you probably don't know the technical details, and I don't know much about web development, but I thought it was possible to deliver different site views according to information from the browser user agent. Other responsive websites don't switch to mobile view when I zoom into the content from a desktop computer. This might be something to share with the Upwork site developers. Since Upwork has mobile apps, I don't see why the site needs to switch to mobile view for everyone on every device—that behavior could be isolated to the apps.

It's poor coding. A reactive web interface should not switch to mobile when viewed on a computer screen because as you wrote, they can discriminate by using the browser user agent.
But then, when you look at the HTML/CSS code delivered by Upwork it makes you understand things.

The constituents of Maryland's 7th District have been suffering under the weight of a healthcare system which consistently fails to meet and address their medical needs. This system is riddled with racial and economic disparities, which leaves patients without care when they need it most.
I believe that healthcare is a basic human right. Our current for-profit healthcare system is wasteful and inefficient. The way to fix this system is by transitioning into a universal, single-payer system, which places emphasis on healthcare outcomes rather than profits. Patients deserve a system that focuses on their care without having to worry that they will go bankrupt if they see their doctor or have an unexpected medical emergency. Opening a "public option" fails to address the underlying cause of the healthcare crisis that we face, in which the insurance industry and large healthcare monopolies deny care to boost their profits.
On my first day in Congress, following the example of the late Congressman Cummings, I will join the 119 House Democratic members in co-sponsoring H.R. 1384, The Medicare For All Act of 2019. Medicare for All will provide universal coverage to all Americans while lowering the cost of healthcare expenditures long term. It will provide universal care without co-pays, premiums, or deductibles and will expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and long-term care. Under Medicare for All, we will join every major industrialized nation in the world in providing healthcare as a basic human right to its citizens.

Ready to head off to new adventures? 9 skills new grads need to have first
Jayden Lempriere, who recently graduated from Corner Brook Regional High School, did not get to have a traditional graduation ceremony, and therefore, did not get to hear the traditional valedictorian send-off speech.
Missing this key opportunity to be given advice for the future, the Newfoundland woman says her family has been filling in the gap and offering their own advice as she moves on to her next adventure.
"They are pushing me to follow my interests and dreams," she says, noting she will be doing exactly that by enrolling in the visual arts program at the Grenfell campus of Memorial University this fall.
But, there are plenty of practical things young people can be doing now to help prepare for their next steps.
Cook and sew
Cassandra Bruhm, who lives in Mahone Bay, N.S., but is entering her second year of university in Halifax, knows first-hand what recent graduates need to know to survive in a post-high school world.
"Know how to cook some basic meals, as it could really save you from some of the gross meal hall food," says Bruhm.
Michael Hoy of Montague, P.E.I., agrees. He says the best skill his mother ever taught him was how to cook for himself. She taught me how to make full, well-balanced meals, he says.
"Cooking is just such an important skill, and I know guys now who eat exclusively takeout because being in and around a kitchen intimidates them," he says.
"A couple of Christmases ago, she made me a big book of family recipes, and since then, I've since started adding my own to give to my son, who is now four years old, for when he first moves out on his own."
Hoy says his mother also made sure he knew how to sew a basic stitch.
"I work in the trades as a plumber, and you can imagine how expensive it'll get replacing jeans every time you get a cut in them," he says.
Kristina Retfalvi, from Lantz, N.S,. didn't learn to cook before she moved into an on-campus apartment. She quickly became friends with security officers, she says, because she would regularly set off the fire alarm by cooking everything on high.
Learn to do laundry
Bruhm says it's also essential to learn how to do your own laundry, because you can't always bring it home to get your parents or guardians to do it for you.
Before heading off to a university dorm room, get a drying rack, she adds, because sometimes you are not going to want to spend $1 for a machine to barely dry your clothes.
Susan Drake knows just how wrong laundry can go.
The Cole Harbour, N.S., woman says when she was freshly on her own, she had a small apartment-sized washer and spinner.
"You had to control how much water went in, and I once forgot to keep checking it," she recalls.
It overflowed and water went down to the lower flat, and the residents were not home.
"Luckily, it was in the enclosed porch and mudroom area, so I had access," she says.
"They came home to find their camping gear, bags of odd seasonal clothes and other items hanging everywhere in the backyard. Thankfully, they were decent folks and completely understood."
Cleaning time
Bruhm tells graduates to learn how to properly clean your room, especially the surfaces, especially now with COVID-19.
"Residences are breeding grounds for getting sick because of all the people in close quarters. Also, your parents aren't going to do it for you. Trust me, you need a clean space," says Bruhm.
And it has more benefits as well.
"Cleaning sucks, but keeping your place uncluttered will actually help your mood and mental health," says Lisa Jane Dobson of Fairview, N.S.
Basic car maintenance
Hoy suggests learning how to do your own vehicle maintenance, including oil changes, fluid changes, and even how to do your own brake work. Pads, rotors, and calipers are pretty easy to replace, he says, as long as you're relatively organized.
Besides, it will save you thousands of dollars over your lifetime.
Money management
Bruhm says money management is key. So many university students go to school and think they can go wild because their parents are not there to look over their shoulder, she says.
Tessa McInnis, Enfield, N.S., suggests only having one credit card, and if you are a student, she recommends getting a student credit card.
"They are super appealing, but not so appealing when you are super in debt," she says. "Hands down, the number one mistake I made when moving out was getting more than one credit card.
And now that's why I'm in debt. I now see the errors of my ways. Sure, retail therapy is nice. But not at that cost."
Always make payments on time and have a rainy-day fund that you add to regularly. You should be able to eventually pay three months of bills with this fund, but it should only be used only emergencies, she says.
Bruhm says she recently learned to only have a $500 dollar limit on a credit card, and to use it to pay for one thing, like a phone bill, and put money on it right away so you don't have to pay interest on it.
"The only thing that a credit card is really good for is building credit," says Bruhm.
Then, says McInnis, learn about what you need to save for income taxes, including prescription slips, and receipts.
Dobson also offers financial wisdom to graduates: avoid buying anything on credit.
"If you can't afford to buy it in cash, you can't afford it. Always make sure your rent and power bills are paid. Other bills can fall behind sometimes but you need a roof over your head and lights on," she says. "Expensive doesn't mean better, thrifts store can be your favourite spot to buy things."
Shop smart and save
When grocery shopping, learn how to check the flyers and how to save money.
Amanda Logan of Halifax, N.S., says it should become routine to look at the price per unit, or price per weight. What can seemingly look like a good sale may not actually be. She says an old roommate introduced her to this concept.
"She was a math whiz and would figure out the cost of toilet paper per square per ply. She figured that if you were paying more than $0.30 per roll, you were paying too much," Logan says. "Mind you, this was a few years ago. But, it's a smart way to shop and I've saved lots of money using this method."
Other noted life skills that will come in handy include learning basic handy fix-it skills, knowing how to write a cheque, making out an envelope for the mail, buying meat and freezing it into portions, and differentiating between instant and regular rice.
Be a good citizen and be safe
Remember, your neighbours don't want to listen to your music at 1 a.m., no matter how good the song is, advises Dobson.
Try to learn to trust your intuition, she adds.
"If something doesn't feel right, leave. Your safety is more important than being polite," she says.
And, she adds, always let someone know where you'll be when you go out. Consider getting a safety app on your phone, especially if you're moving to a new city.
"Adulting doesn't make you invincible," says Dobson. "People can't help you if they don't know where you are."
It's OK to be homesick
Bruhm says it's important to find one friend, or even group of friends, that you can really rely on.
"You are going to miss home, there is no doubt about it, it's almost inevitable," she says.
Drake agrees, saying you can become homesick at the strangest things. One year, she and her roommate were working over Thanksgiving so couldn't get home to their families. They decided to cook their own turkey dinner, but when they sat down to eat, she says they both looked at each other and started bawling.
"We both missed home more than we knew," says Drake.
McInnis adds that it's important to keep in contact with your parents – it will help both of you.
And most of all, says Dobson, there's one piece of advice all graduates need to hear.
"Have fun! This will be some of the best years of your life. Don't be hard on yourself, mistakes are how we gain experience and wisdom."

Magdeburg Lectures on Optimization and Control: "Concepts of Function Space Oriented Optimization"
MALOC Event Series
- Datum: 12.01.2016
- Uhrzeit: 17:00 - 19:00
- Vortragende(r): Prof. Dr. Anton Schiela, University of Bayreuth
- Ort: Lukasklause (Otto-von-Guericke-Zentrum) Magdeburg
- Gastgeber: veranstaltet von den Fakultäten für Elektrotechnik, für Mathematik und dem Forschungszentrum Dynamische Systeme der OVGU sowie dem MPI Magdeburg
Many large scale nonlinear optimization problems are discretizations of optimization problems in function space and thus, we expect that additional functional analytic structure should be present. The goal of function space oriented optimization is to exploit this structure. This may comprise the efficient computation of steps by iterative solvers, problem suited globalization strategies, or the use of adaptive mesh refinement inside an optimization method. In this talk we will give an overview of a couple of ideas, and explain at concrete examples how they can be implemented. Short CV Anton Shiela is a professor for applied mathematics at the University of Bayreuth. His fields of research are optimization with PDEs, in particular the development of algorithms for the solution of optimization problems in function space. Before moving to Bayreuth in 2014, he was an associate professor at Technische Universitaet Hamburg-Harburg (2013-2014) and Matheon junior reseach group leader at TU Berlin (2012-2013). He got his PhD in 2007 at Zuse Institute Berlin, where he worked as a reasearch assistant (2002-2012).

Aptly named, the Heritage in Midnight features a deep royal blue base, adorned with an ornate floral and bird pattern in pretty pale pastel tones. The colours offset each other beautifully, making this roman blind a real work of art.
The Midnight would look beautiful in the dining room amidst dark to medium woods, plenty more regal blue hues, and gold fixtures and finishings. Accent with pastel tones to lighten the mood, resulting in a glamorous look that you and your guests can relax in and enjoy.
Please Note: Roman blinds over 130cm wide require vertical seams due to limited fabric width. We recommended you split large windows into smaller blinds.

Today, for a variety of reasons, less than 0.1 percent of houses in Ireland have thatched roofs. Pretty much everyone understands that between building codes, insurance requirements and modern demands for pest-free living, natural thatch is not a convenient roofing option. Back in the 1800's, as many as half of all Irish people lived beneath thatched roofs. And they sure were beautiful.
Irish thatched cottages in the 1800's grew out of centuries of tradition. Materials depended on the era and local resources and of course, the availability of a master thatcher. The walls of Irish thatched cottages were generally lime mortar or mud tempered with substances to strengthen it. For the roofs, they often used overlapping layers of sod with straw thatch from wheat or flax. 5,000 handfuls of straw would go into just one thatched roof. It was an enormous amount of work. It functioned well for the time, though these thatched roofs needed constant maintenance.
Replicating Irish Thatched Cottages' Roofs Safely
Irish thatched cottages don't have to fall into antiquity though. Endureed's Regions series offers a synthetic thatched roofing product that replicates the look and feel of European thatching that once topped Irish thatched cottages. Check out our Somerset synthetic thatch shingle. It really does look and feel like natural thatch, but our products exceed expectations of modern building codes requirements for thatched roofs. Plus, all of our synthetic thatch products come with a 20 year warranty. Although, we are proud to say that we are one of the only synthetic thatch companies with no warranty claims in the last 15 years!
Our Somerset shingle outperforms the competition in fire safety tests, durability, UV protection, and realism. Our synthetic thatch products are the perfect solution for insurance requirements for thatched roofing. So, whether you are looking for a flame-resistant thatched roof for a European resort or a realistic-looking, pest-resistant synthetic thatching for a bed and breakfast, contact Endureed today.

All felines produce an allergen from their skin or saliva (not hair) but do you know that there are also cats that produce less allergens than others? Thus the word "hypo" which means "less than" in the word hypoallergenic.
Before choosing a hypoallergenic cat or dog as stated from the internet you need to be exposed to them in person because different people have different sensitivities to different cats. But here are the cat breeds that are known to be hypoallergenic

I think this issue is fairly non-contraversial. RDFa 1.0 and 1.1 both do/should require that XML literals are generated when the datatype URI is <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#XMLLiteral>. However, the RDFa 1.0 rec was a little ambiguous as to whether this only happened if the @datatype CURIE was literally "rdf:XMLLiteral", or whether "xyz:XMLLiteral" also worked assuming that "xyz" was appropriately bound. The RDFa 1.0 test suite makes it clear that "xyz" or anything else you like should work. But we probably need to clarify in the 1.1 spec that it's the URI you expand the datatype out to that matters, and not the CURIE/token found in the datatype attribute. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>Received on Thursday, 10 June 2010 06:19:02 UTC

FAIRPORT HARBOR, Ohio -- A sailboat remains stuck on the ice in Fairport Harbor after it broke free from its moorings at a marina along the Grand River, and floated into Lake Erie during one of Northeast Ohio's winter thaws.
On Friday, we spoke to the personal responsible for the sailboat, William Harrison, and asked him about his plan to get it back.
"I got a call that the boat had broken loose and that it was in my name and that I needed to take care of it. They said it's your boat and I said kind of."
Earlier this year, Harrison said he sold the sailboat to another boater; however, he said that person neglected to switch the title, and now even though he has been paid for the sailboat, it appears it's his legal responsibility to remove it.
On Tuesday, the Coast Guard's Neah Bay ice breaker visited the lone sailboat in an attempt to break up the ice jams affecting the waterway; however, in the last few days, the little boat has broken free and moved out even farther. Thankfully, the Coast Guard has been able to secure it.
"The Coast Guard said it's my responsibility to remove it as the registered owner. Scuttling the boat is not an option, and ultimately would lead to even more of an expense trying to bring it up from the bottom. I haven't been close enough to the boat to see anything. I'm assuming there is damage to the boat; big chunks of ice have been smashing it around for the last week or so," Harrison said.
With the help of DroneFOX, we took a look. "The boat is floating. It doesn't appear to have sunk in any, so I'm assuming it really hasn't taken on any water. I see it does have a line out, so it looks like it may be tied off or anchored somewhere. We're going to try and get it in somehow. We're going to try and get out to it; get something attached, a rope, a motor. If we can make it out to it and the water opens up. It seems to be floating. It certainly is a trooper of a boat at this point."
The Coast Guard said if you're leaving your boat in the water, you have to double tie it.
When something like this happens, the owner is ultimately responsible for salvaging it. Luckily, in this case, there are no hazardous conditions for other boaters at this point. Harrison may have to wait until the ice thaws to get it out of the water.

The journey to the land of the hobbits – Montenegro
As some of you might have already noticed the entire KiteWorldWide team is currently on their way to Montenegro. Here we are going to work, write our blog and update our Facebook page as well as help to prepare the KiteWorldWide Guest House for the season.
Of course we want you to stay updated and that's why we are going to post some exclusive insights behind the scenes of KiteWorldWide.
Let's start at the beginning:
The journey starts at the airport of Frankfurt flying directly with Montenegro Airlines to Podgorica. The board bags are checked in by a very friendly Montenegrin for only 20 € one way (low season prices for Frankfurt). After around 2 hours you can see Montenegro beneath you and a beautiful view on a large idyllic lake, vast nature areas and a breathtaking mountain scenery – welcome to the new land of the hobbits.
After touch-down I met Anne (Sales Manager and Team Rider of KiteWorldWide) who just arrived with the plane from Vienna. The rental car was organized quickly and the nice man behind the AVIS counter gave us a map with the explanation: "just drive straight along the coast…" Well, our orientation was not the best, but you could have managed to reach Ulcinj and our KiteWorldWide House in Doni Stoj after 1,5 hours.
The team of our KiteWorldWide Best Pro Center welcomed us with open arms and excitement.

This Valentine's Day, AsiaOne speaks with two couples who found love in unexpected places.
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) may be a stranger to those born after the 90s, and to others, it may just be a memory -- perhaps not even a very pleasant one.
From cyberbullies, stalkers, to strangers asking for sexual favours, the folks from the IRC era have seen it all.
But love still blossoms in a 'hopeless' place.
Shierly Fadjaray (who's now known as Shierly Brett), 30, and Paul Brett, 47, are the lucky ones who have found that elusive relationship.
"We first 'met' online in early 2012 on IRC. It was some generic boy-meets-girl channel," Shierly revealed to AsiaOne after some deliberation.The couple on a holiday in Lombok, Indonesia, in 2012 after their first meet-up in Singapore.Photo: Shierly Brett
Shierly, who spent her childhood days in Indonesia and studied in Singapore, shared that she was on IRC because she was "unemployed, bored, and had no one to talk to." And of course, she didn't think she would meet "the one".
"I don't believe in over-romanticising 'the one'... All I know was he made me happy, and all I wanted was to be with him. " she added.
But it wasn't all that easy -- Shierly was living in Singapore then, and Paul, London.
"I woke up at 2am every night just to Skype with him, and we spent a lot of money travelling just to see each other," said Shierly.The pair meeting right in the middle of Singapore and London for a holiday in India in 2013.Photo: Shierly Brett
For their first meet-up, six months after they first connected on IRC, Paul travelled 18 hours from London to Singapore.
Shierly, who was 24 years old then, recounts their real-life meeting as awkward, "I was quite shy at that time, but at the same time, I felt like I knew him forever. I remember teaching him how to hold a pair of chopsticks properly while having Pho for lunch at Changi Airport T3 food court!"
For Paul though, the memory is pretty much a blur -- he could only remember how tired he was after his 18-hour flight.The trip to London in 2014 was when Shierly decided to move to London.Photo: Shierly Brett
Despite a "rather awkward" first date, and friends who were skeptical about this 'online relationship' in the beginning, Shierly and Paul went on to 'date' for three years and got married in 2015. The couple are now proud parents to a toddler, Emily, who's turning three.Shierly and Paul wedded with a small family dinner and tea ceremony in her hometown, Surabaya, Indonesia.Photo: Shierly Brett
"We never had that 'are we dating' conversation. It just flowed and progressed on its own," they revealed.
"We did warn each other not to sleep with other people though," Shierly added sheepishly.
At the beginning of their relationship, she didn't tell her family about it at all, because an online chatroom wasn't a conventional place to meet someone.
"Now, when I tell people we met online (because no one knows what IRC is anymore!), I don't get a reaction as big as I did back then -- I suppose it has become a norm to meet someone online these days."The quirky couple posing with their 'bumps' in Brighton, UK, in 2016.Photo: Shierly Brett
Even their proposal story was quite unconventional.
Shierly was still in Singapore and Paul was in London, and it "wasn't even a proposal."
"It was more like a discussion of our future, and where we're going. But I was the first one to bring it up, so I guess I proposed?" she added with a laugh.
There weren't any roses, or champagne, or an over-the-top setup. Instead, it was 3am in Singapore, over Facetime, with her panda eyes from lack of sleep.
"I brought up the subject and presented to him the timeline I drew the night before (of the logistics if we were to get married). Not the most romantic decision point (or what others would call a proposal). Although I did cry when Paul agreed for us to get married," Shierly said.
And that's not even the sweetest thing that the couple shared with us.
"I am not a big fan of Valentine's Day, and we agreed on not celebrating it because I think it's rubbish. But Paul always got me chocolate and flowers anyway," she said.
"One memorable Valentine's Day was when I was pregnant. Earlier on in my pregnancy, we called the foetus a 'peanut'. And on Valentine's Day, I found a card on the dining table. I can't even remember what the card was like (other than it being simple), but I remember finding a piece of peanut M&Ms along with it and I just cried -- I thought it was the cutest thing ever."The couple with their "peanut" Emily when she was first born in 2016 and her first birthday in 2017.Photo: Shierly Brett
So do we.
And yes, in case you're wondering, IRC is still very much alive -- you're welcome.

Congratulations Kingy thats fantastic news!
I'm pleased to announce my wife Morn, and stepson Meeo were granted ILR yesterday morning.
We had submitted the application June 7th and got the ok to book Biometrics just a week ago.
Quickly booked the Biometrics in Sheffield last Monday and the email arrived yesterday morning to say they have been granted ILR. We are absolutely thrilled.
Many many thanks to all forum members for their help and guidance over the years.
Not only have we benefited form the knowledge of this forum but my friends too, who i have helped along the way. I figured i had done 7 visas for my guys and another 5 for friends.....Bloody hell
Congratulations Kingy thats fantastic news!
Wow! Excellent results and it's great that the ILR approvals for Morn and Meeo came so quickly. Next steps, no doubt, citizenship and then UK passports!
Thanks Tom and Nok
Yes as soon as the BRP's arrive i'm on it.
Already helped our friends with the naturalisation application so should be OK.
Its a great feeling to get this far.

The Levin Folk Music Club is very pleased to welcome back Bob and Kate who are based in the Wairarapa but play gigs regularly around the North Island. The song list veers between swing sounds of Texas, mixed with the blues, bluegrass, something approaching jazz and some Pop songs served up in the Bob and Kate way. A good night out is always enjoyed by all.Bob Cooper-Grundy has pursued obscurity now for some 40 odd years, having played with some famous people in London including the drummers of The Pogues and the Woodentops. He enjoys playing blues guitar and singing country songs.Kate Marshall plays violin, accordion and flute and sings quite beautifully. She started with classical piano and singing in choirs and you don't have to listen that carefully to hear Bach and Mozart lurking behind Bob Wills and Memphis Minnie.They have played at most of the folk clubs in the Wellington area, at the Wellington, Auckland and Dunedin Folk Festivals and at Jazz in Martinborough. You can catch them at many cafes and pubs in the region. Check out their Bob and Kate facebook page for details.The first half of the evening is an open mic where each performer can do one song. Newcomers are welcome to add their name to the list if there is time available. Admission is $5 if you are a Folk Club member; $10 public. A light supper is served during the intermission.

What is SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
What is SEO? (Search Engine Optimization)
SEO means Search Engine Optimization. It can be defined as the process of improving the visibility and ranking of your website on major search engines like Google.com, Bing.com or Yahoo.com. I personally define SEO as "increasing organic search engine traffic" for your desired keyword searches because the major search engines "like your website" and feel that it best represents the "search query."
Some level of basic SEO is essential for all websites in order to achieve any kind of success on the Internet. The fact that the majority of Internet users continue to use search engines to locate products & services, information and resources and more, underscores the importance of search engine optimization for web entrepreneurs!
How does SEO work? It all starts with a search by a visitor at a search engine website. The search engine algorithm (a mathematical method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function) then look at all the websites in its index / database and sort those websites based on relevant information for the search. The text entered by the visitor is called the keyword / phrase or "search string." If a website contains this particular entry in prominent positions making it an important word or phrase, the search engine algorithm "catches" the URL of the website and displays it in its "SERPs" (search engine results pages).
Apart from the keyword criteria, there are many, many other factors that affect the SEO performance of a website. Things such as the presence of internal and external links, the "freshness" of the content, and the overall link popularity of the website, etc. In recent years, the impact of social media (Facebook.com, Instagram.com, Twitter.com, LinkedIn.com etc.) has changed some of the "traditional" SEO landscape! In the end, search engine optimization is all about content! If you create and maintain a high quality website with high quality content, and update it regularly, your website is very likely to enjoy much success!
