We have been coming here for the last four years because of the campsites and overall grounds. Love the creek running through the campground and the grassy open areas where I let my Corgi off leash when no one is around. Love sitting under the pine trees, dog park, trout pond and lake bridge on the benches/rocking benches. Beautiful campground! Friendly, helpful and great Honey Bear Associates!

I love coming to this campground!! The people here are so friendly and very very helpful. I came here by myself to attend an art show in Sugar Mountain and i have a pop-up camper, 2 gentlemen here took me right to my site, leveled it up for me and helped me set it all up… They were a blessing. I love this place and they all go above and beyond to accommodate you. Thank you so much.

This is one of my favorite places to come to during the summer for the Highland games. i have always loved this place. I am a very outdoorsy person and I always ask my parents if we can come just to visit because I love this place so much. anyone who comes here, should love it just as much as me because everything about this place to me is perfect.

I go camping here every year and absolutely love it. The campground hosts always make you feel welcome and always remember you when you come back. The coffee bar in the mornings is a huge bonus. I also love the bourbon, bacon and brews festival that the campground holds every year!

Ratchet Belt Review

Written by: Tony Korologos | Friday, March 13th, 2009
Categories: Golf AccessoriesGolf ApparelGolf GearReviews

Over the course of a year a few things in my golf world change. My handicap goes up in the spring and proceeds downward until the winter snow shuts the game down for the year. One thing which seems to follow a similar seasonal change is my waistline. I seem to have about a two inch variance throughout the year. Fortunately I’m staying in an “acceptable” range.

That two inch variance is between a 36 and 38. Yes Camilo Villegas’ waist is a tiny bit smaller than mine… My current lineup of golf belts have two holes in them which are worn at the 38 and 36 marks. Often a 38 is too loose and a 36 too tight. If it is tight, it is uncomfortable and if it is loose, well, I look like a gangsta with the low riders. 37 would be the ticket. Enter Ratchet Belt.

ratchet belt

What is Ratchet Belt?

Ratchet Belt is a whole different concept in belts designed by a retired Navy serviceman. First, there are NO holes in the belt. There’s no pin in the belt buckle. This makes the belt look much nicer. No worn holes or waistline historical info.

If the belt has no holes for the belt buckle, how does it tighten and/or fasten?

ratchet beltOn the underside and opposite end of the belt than the buckle, is a set of grooves or teeth (image right). These remind me of the way those plastic cable ties work. A spring loaded lever catches on the grooves as you slide the belt in. You can tighten the belt in very precise increments with these teeth, unlike standard belts which have holes spaced out much farther apart. To release or loosen the belt you push a small button under the buckle. I’m about to push that button in the photo to the right.

Cool belt buckle styles

Ratchet Belt’s buckles are super cool too. They have many style lines including casual, military and custom logo.

ratchet beltSizes

Since you cut the belt down to your own size there are only two starter sizes available: 41 (pant sizes 30-39) and 48 (pant sizes 40-46).

Most Ratchet Belts with buckle run about $30, and some around $40. Belts and buckles are available individually as well for around $16-$25 and $15 respectively.

I’m a big fan of Ratchet Belts now. When I have my belt too tight it stresses my bad back and that can cause me a lot of grief and pain on the course. I’m able to tighten my belt just right, keeping my pants up but not putting too much pressure on my back.

Ratchet Belts are very sharp as well. The buckles are very nice looking and the belt has no worn and/or shabby holes.

Mike Henry has decided to step down from his role as Cleveland Brown on Family Guy, after voicing the beloved character for more than two decades. On Friday (June 26th), Henry announced his decision via Twitter, indicating that he, as a white man, could no longer voice a Black character anymore in good conscience. "It’s been an honor to play Cleveland on Family Guy for 20 years," he wrote. "I love this character, but persons of color should play characters of color. Therefore, I will be stepping down from the role."

Henry has been voicing Cleveland since Family Guy first premiered in 1999, and carried on the role in the character's spinoff series, The Cleveland Show, from 2009-2013. He also does the voice of the Latina maid, Consuela, on Family Guy.

This news comes in the wake of a slew of other white actors who have announced their decisions to step down from their roles as animated Black characters. Big Mouth's Jenny Slate revealed that she would no longer be voicing the character of Missy on the animated show, and just hours later, Central Park star Kristen Bell decided to step down from her role as Molly. The Simpsons also announced that their characters of color would no longer be voiced by white actors.

Texas officials declare EPA's proposed CO2 emission rule unworkable

WASHINGTON - Texas lawmakers and a top state utility official sharply criticized a proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule on carbon dioxide emissions Tuesday, saying it would unfairly impact Texas.

Kenneth Anderson, a commissioner of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, said at a House hearing that the state could be responsible for up to 25 percent of the nation's proposed reduction, while only producing 11 percent of the country's power.

The EPA's proposed rule, the Clean Power Plan, would require each state to meet specific carbon dioxide emission goals by 2030, and an interim goal by 2020. The rule focuses on making fossil fuel power plants more efficient, using more zero- and low-emitting power sources such as natural gas, solar, wind and nuclear power, and using electricity more efficiently.

Anderson and officials from three other states on the panel said EPA should delay the rule to give states more time to analyze the potential economic impact and respond adequately.

Those representatives also told lawmakers the EPA needs to be responsive to the comments from each state. In its current form, the officials from Arizona, Indiana, Montana and Texas said the rule is unworkable.

Adjusting the rule

Also, a study being conducted by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas on the impact of the proposed rule on its 550 power plants won't be finished until December, after EPA's deadline for comment on the rules.

Anderson said Texas would submit comments by the Oct. 16 deadline, but the full effect of the proposal would still be unknown.

"We won't have good, steady data relating to cost or liability until the end of the year," Anderson said.

Representatives of two other states, Maryland and Washington, argued against delay.

While their states also have issues with the proposed rule, they said they hope the EPA will adjust the rule after comments are submitted to align better with what states need. They said the EPA has been responsive to their comments so far.

"There are costs to the economy to taking no action, so delay is not something we would want," said David Danner, chairman of the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission.

Uniformly negative

Texas representatives at the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Energy and Power subcommittee hearing were uniformly negative about the proposed rule in their questioning of the panel. They expressed concern that the rule could be detrimental to the state's economy.

"Would we have not built the transcontinental railroad … or the interstate highway system … because we were worried about climate change?" Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, asked. "(Climate change) is an issue, but it should not be the dominant issue."

The lawmakers were also concerned about the EPA making assumptions with the proposed rule and not conferring with the states enough.

Another issue with the rule, Anderson said, is the 2020 interim goal.

Five years, he said, isn't enough time to build the infrastructure - transmissions and power plants - to change the energy structure in Texas to comply with the rule. Some of the projects that would be required to comply take at least four years to develop.

"They're asking us to redesign a system that evolved over 100 years and do it in 14 years or so," Anderson said. "That's a pretty short time frame."

'Leap of faith'

Anderson said after the hearing he would like to see Texas try to comply with the rule if it goes into effect, but if it is similar to what is proposed there will be challenges.

"The real issue is: Will the EPA listen and address the concerns?" Anderson said. "They're asking us to take a really big leap of faith that they will be reasonable."

According to a U.S. Energy Information Administration report last month, from 2000 to 2011 Texas reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 9 percent, ranking 21st out of the states. Texas still remains the greatest producer of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, and by a wide margin.

"It's not like we're not doing anything. It's not like Texas has buried its head in the sand. We've made enormous investments in order to get more efficient and the EPA now is asking us to double down," Anderson said.

Walk 12 - Carstramon Woods and Knocktinkle walking and hiking route

Walk Instructions

Start: At a parking area in Carstramon Woods
Refreshments: Cafés and pubs in Gatehouse of Fleet

Woodland and moorland walking over varied terrain. This is a good walk for seeing red squirrels, roe deer and a variety of woodland birds.

1. Carstramon (also known as Castramon or Castramont) Wood is found along the minor road on the east side of the Fleet Valley about 2 miles north of Gatehouse of Fleet. There is a designated parking area with information boards just before the junction with the minor road that crosses over to the west side of the valley. The woods are part of a Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve that is known for its abundant bird life and spectacular bluebells in late spring. The woods are largely composed of oak trees that were planted around 1800 and were used for charcoal production for about 100 years. The oak wood was also used to produce bobbins for use in the cotton mills of Gatehouse. For the first section of the walk you can follow the road northwards, past Carstramon House to the end of the woods or alternatively make use of the network of paths through the woods to reach the same point.

2. At the north end of the wood is a sign post indicating the start of the path that follows the rough valley of Castramont Cleugh up the east side of the Fleet valley. The path stays to the right side of a dry-stone wall and has muddy sections and some bridges to assist in crossing small streams that come down from the hillside of the left. After about a mile of rough going you will meet a forest track coming in from the left. Follow this track up to meet the Gatehouse to Lauriston road.

3. Turn right (southwards) on the road and enjoy the panoramic views over Wigtown Bay as you descend for about a mile to reach the point where the road crosses the Laghead Burn and a track branches off to Laghead farm on the right. The dry-stone walls along the roadside here are some of the finest examples of walling using rounded granite boulders. This is an indication that the underlying rocks have changed from the angular sedimentary rocks that are seen along the coast to the more massive granite rocks that underlie the higher elevations of the Galloway Hills.

4. Take the track down past Laghead farm and continue down fields where the track deteriorates into a faint footpath but eventually leads down to Lagg farm and the road from Gatehouse. Turn right along the road and follow it for just over half a mile back to your starting point.

It would be a great help to future walkers if you could record any inaccuracies you come across during this walk and report them to reception so that appropriate amendments can be made. Thank you for your help. Happy walking.

Sexual Assault and the LGBTQ Community

Sexual violence affects every demographic and every community – including LGBTQ people. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), lesbian, gay and bisexual people experience sexual violence at similar or higher rates than straight people.

The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Projects (NCAVP) estimates that nearly one in ten LGBTQ survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) has experienced sexual assault from those partners. Studies suggest that around half of transgender people and bisexual women will experience sexual violence at some point in their lifetimes.

As a community, LGBTQ people face higher rates of poverty, stigma, and marginalization, which put us at greater risk for sexual assault. We also face higher rates of hate-motivated violence, which can often take the form of sexual assault. Moreover, the ways in which society both hypersexualizes LGBTQ people and stigmatizes our relationships can lead to intimate partner violence that stems from internalized homophobia and shame.

Yet, as a community, we rarely talk about how sexual violence affects us or what our community’s unique needs are when it comes to preventing sexual assault and supporting and caring for survivors of sexual violence.

The CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey found for LGB people:

  • 44 percent of lesbians and 61 percent of bisexual women experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, compared to 35 percent of straight women

  • 26 percent of gay men and 37 percent of bisexual men experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, compared to 29 percent of straight men

  • 46 percent of bisexual women have been raped, compared to 17 percent of straight women and 13 percent of lesbians

  • 22 percent of bisexual women have been raped by an intimate partner, compared to 9 percent of straight women

  • 40 percent of gay men and 47 percent of bisexual men have experienced sexual violence other than rape, compared to 21 percent of straight men

Within the LGBTQ community, transgender people and bisexual women face the most alarming rates of sexual violence. Among both of these populations, sexual violence begins early, often during childhood.

  • The 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey found that 47% of transgender people are sexually assaulted at some point in their lifetime.

  • Among people of color, American Indian (65%), multiracial (59%), Middle Eastern (58%) and Black (53%) respondents of the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey were most likely to have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime

  • Nearly half (48 percent) of bisexual women who are rape survivors experienced their first rape between ages 11 and 17.

For LGBTQ survivors of sexual assault, their identities – and the discrimination they face surrounding those identities – often make them hesitant to seek help from police, hospitals, shelters or rape crisis centers, the very resources that are supposed to help them.

85 percent of victim advocates surveyed by the NCAVP reported having worked with an LGBTQ survivor who was denied services because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey found that one in five (20%) respondents who were incarcerated in jail, prison, or juvenile detention in the past year were sexually assaulted by facility staff during that time. Additionally, 17% of respondents who stayed at one or more homeless shelters in the past year were sexually assaulted at the shelter because they were transgender

This epidemic of sexual violence in the LGBTQ community is something we must all work together to address. If someone discloses to you that they have been sexually assaulted, remember to believe them, reassure them that it wasn’t their fault, keep their disclosure confidential (unless the situation requires mandatory reporting), and never pressure them for more information than they want to share.

If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, there are some LGBTQ-friendly resources listed below:

Heat Wave

The intense heat has killed thousands of animals and displaced many more.
An expert gives tips on staying cool in a heat wave.
It's hot. It's not just hot, it's very hot. It's a mid-summer heat wave and it's relentless. And when it gets this hot, many people start to ask whether the landlord has an obligation to keep residents cool. Is there a maximum permitted temperature in apartment buildings and rental homes?
This heat makes me want to find the nearest lake and jump right in. Or lay under a shady tree with a sprinkler near by. Registered dietitian Daphna Steinberg says the hot weather is no reason not to enjoy good food. Daphna and her colleague Katherine Vandenbussche, registered dietitian, have a few tips for eating in the heat:
When summer finally arrives we actually need to find ways to center ourselves and chill out in the heat. It is not unusual to be in the midst of a fabulous beach moment with the sun shining down on you and struggling to be in that moment. Here are some simple mindfulness tools that can assist you in chilling out this summer.
The soaring mercury often brings out the worst in us, and children are particularly susceptible to the heat. Depending on how high temperatures climb, kids can become extremely irritable and can experience heat stoke, if we're not careful. To this end, here are five simple ways to beat the heat with the kids this summer.
In the past few days I have received a number of requests form Toronto Hydro asking me to conserve. So when I went into the Body Shop on Bloor Street in Toronto at midday on Wednesday the 17, the doors were wide open as if they were trying hard to air condition Toronto. I beat up on them to close the doors and they did.

Strictly Come Dancing

She found herself getting up close and personal with the Indiana Jones star while trying out for a major film role.
The comedian could have been part of Strictly's first same-sex partnership, but he had one major (and very rude) concern.
Could we see Line Of Duty baddie Ryan Pilkington getting his dancing shoes on?
“I can’t think of anything worse than being a tradwife."
After making history with last year's series, the Strictly favourite has admitted the forthcoming season "will be my last".
Abbey won the 2013 series with dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec.
"Happy days for our little family," the Countdown presenter wrote on Instagram.
We won't be seeing him showing off his moves on the BBC ballroom show any time soon.
She said taking part “simply wasn’t worth putting anyone I loved or love through the heartache”.
About Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing' is a celebrity-pro ballroom dance competition, which launched on BBC One in 2004. It's inspired by former BBC show 'Come Dancing', and shares its name with 1992 film 'Strictly Ballroom'. Being one of the most popular shows on TV, it goes head-to-head with ITV's 'The X Factor' from September to December every year on Saturday and Sunday nights. It was originally hosted by Sir Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly, but Claudia Winkleman has taken over from the veteran entertainer since he stepped down in 2014. The current judges are Craig Revel-Horwood, Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Shirley Ballas, who has replaced Len Goodman as Head Judge. Alesha Dixon and Arlene Phillips have both previously sat on the panel. The show is now its 15th series, with the 2017 line-up made up of Alexandra Burke, Aston Merrygold, Brian Conley, Charlotte Hawkins, Chizzy Akudolu, Davood Ghadami, Debbie McGee, Gemma Atkinson, Joe McFadden, Jonnie Peacock, Mollie King, Richard Coles, Ruth Langsford, Simon Rimmer and Susan Calman. Last year's competition won by BBC sports presenter Ore Oduba and his partner Joanne Clifton, who followed in the footsteps of previous winners like Jay McGuiness, Caroline Flack, Louis Smith, Alesha Dixon, Harry Judd and Abbey Clancy. The 2017 series saw the departure of professional dancers Natalie Lowe, Joanne Clifton and Oksana Platero who all quit the show. Among the current line-up are Brendan Cole, Anton DuBeke, Kevin and Karen Clifton and Pasha Kovalev and Oti Mabuse.

What's The Future Of Bitcoin Mining?

Bitcoin as a currency is simply one application.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 5 years, you’ve likely at least heard the word “Bitcoin” before. While you’ve almost certainly heard about it, there is a fair chance you don’t fully understand what it is, how it works, and why people are so excited about it.

Bitcoin was started in 2008 by an unknown person or group who goes by the name Satoshi Nakamoto. While bitcoin has received lots of coverage focused on its potential as a currency, industry insiders are quick to point out that it’s really much more than that. Bitcoin as a currency is simply one application that uses Blockchain technology, the underlying technological framework that makes the currency, and all other potential applications possible.

While explaining all the complexities of bitcoin would take many posts, the key thing to know is Bitcoin is essentially a decentralized network of computers. You have an address for Bitcoin to be sent to, and a secure wallet to store them. While Visa and Mastercard have their own data centers to power their network, confirming transactions, payments, etc. Bitcoin is decentralized and is powered by what’s known as Bitcoin miners.

These Bitcoin miners provide computing power to the Bitcoin network which solves the complex math problems required to power the network in exchange for a fee, paid out, of course, in Bitcoin. Bitcoin mining is the backbone of the Bitcoin industry which has already raised well over $1 billion in venture capital from the world’s leading venture capitalists.

But, the industry is changing quickly. Just a few years ago mining could be done from home, now it’s large multi-million dollar organizations running the show building out massive “farms” dedicated to one thing: mining bitcoin.

Q: How do you see Bitcoin mining changing in the future?

Marco Streng: In just the past 2-3 years, we’ve seen a massive jump in technology, even outpacing Moore’s law. This has already changed within the last year and mining has moved more and more from a short term quick profit game to a slower, patient and more steady industry where only the most efficient operations have a chance to yield high profit within an extended frame. This trend will clearly continue as we are approaching Moore’s law and the development of newer technology gets more and more expensive.

Q: Are you concerned about the internal conflicts taking place in the industry? (Blocksize limit, etc.)

Marco Streng: I have to admit there was a time especially beginning of this year where miners and core developers opinions sometimes were fundamentally different which caused the ongoing scaling debate. Although this was quite a lengthy and intense discussion within the community I am glad that there is consensus now about the immediate next goals and there are good reasons to be positive and excited about what’s to come. In fact the variety of solutions for on chain scalability such as for example the upcoming SegWit or Schnorr Signatures as well as solutions for off chain scalability such as for example Lightning or Thunder Network make me more bullish on bitcoin than ever before not even mentioning Sidechains and Rootstock. It’s really great seeing these solutions being worked out!

Q: What other cryptocurrencies are the most interesting from a miner’s perspective?

Marco Streng: There are a lot of different cryptocurrencies in the currently booming altcoin market that are really quite interesting for miners. The top candidates in my opinion are Ethereum, Dash, storage coins such as Sia or Maidsafe and the upcoming Zcash. There are a lot more than those and the list is by far not complete, but those are certainly one of the most interesting ones at the moment. We can be very excited to see what the altcoin market which often is seen as the innovative playground for cryptocurrencies brings up. Anonymous oriented coins or file storage based coins as the ones mentioned are not the only ones and there is certainly a lot more to come.

Q: What’s the future of Bitcoin in general?

Marco Streng: When you look at the Gartner Hype ycle and consider 2014, we were clearly at the “Peak of Inflated Expectations” point, then we dropped directly into “Trough of Disillusionment” and now the industry as a whole is fighting it’s way towards productivity. There has been lots of venture capital invested into some really amazing Bitcoin focused startups lead by incredible entrepreneurs. This capital is currently being deployed and an entire infrastructure is being built, which of course, takes a long time. Where the industry goes from here largely depends on these entrepreneurs and companies to make sure they leverage this amazing technology to solve real problems that real people and companies need solved.

Code Hacks @ Hull: Creating Unified Email Exclusion Lists

As a growth or marketing person, you probably know that feeling all too well: another marketing email went out to someone who is a customer, competitor, partner, has opted-out or is in an active sales cycle.

This is probably one of the customer experiences that you don’t want to generate, but how do you exclude people on scale? Typically the answer is, you pull in your engineer or admin and make him/her do some magic.

I get asked this all the time at my job as Solution Architect at Hull. I have spent some time to analyze those challenges our customers are facing with reliably excluding people across the marketing stack to come up with a way which allows everyone in growth or marketing even without coding skills to get the job done. This article is about how to implement a reliable solution in Hull by using the Processor — and yes you don’t have to code at all.

So let’s get onto our code hack…

Before we start, let’s make sure that you have defined some exclusion segments in Hull, if you need a refresher how to do so, check out our guide for building segments.

To give you an idea, this is what our segments look like:

Hull Screenshot - Segments for Exclusion Lists

As you can see, a good naming convention is key to success, if you really want to scale this up.

Before we move on, make sure to note down the email of one user which is in any of these segments.

Install a new Processor in your Hull organization and open up the Settings tab. Locate the section Variables, because we are going to use them — remember I promised no coding.

The idea of exclusion lists is to have multiple categories, because just one global flag probably won’t cut it, and that’s how the variables are designed. All keys of the variables you define must follow a certain naming convention.

Replace <CATEGORY> with the snake-cased name of the category you want to indicate, for example if you want to indicate Opt-Outs, use either opt_outs or just optouts . And for the value of the variable, you just enter all the segment names which represent this category delimited by a semicolon.

This is what our configuration looks like:

Hull Screenshot - Configured Exclusion List by Category

Now hit Save Changes to store this configuration and navigate to the Overview tab, and then click on Code Editor. Enter the email you noted down in the top left textbox to look up the user in Hull, this will unblock the Code — (javascript) window in the middle of the screen:

Hull Screenshot - Look up a User in the Code Editor

Now go and grab the ready-made code below and copy+paste it into the middle of section of the Code Editor window:

Embedded content:

Finding Populism Today

Jim Hightower, Finding Populism Today

Populism: what is it and where can it be found?

Mass movements don’t just appear out of the fog, fully grown, structured and mobilized. They emerge in fits and starts of populism over many years, just as the American Revolution did, and as did the Populists’ original idea of a “cooperative commonwealth.”

A successful people’s movement has to take the long view, to learn about itself as it builds, nurture the culture of its people, take chances, create fun for all involved, adapt to failures and successes, stay steadfast to its principles, have a stoic tenacity — and organize, organize, organize. A little serendipity helps, too, so grab it when you can.

In 2011 a serendipitous moment for the cause of populism rumbled across our land, though later it was widely (and wrongly) dismissed as a failure. That September, hundreds of young people, loosely aligned with an upstart group called Occupy Wall Street, took over Zuccotti Park in New York City and audaciously camped out on the front stoop of the elite banksters who’d crashed our economy. Occupy’s depiction of the 1-percent vs. the 99-percent struck a chord with the unemployed, underemployed, and the knocked-down middle class. Occupy encampments quickly sprang up in some 200 cities and towns from coast to coast.

The uprising was ridiculed (even by many progressive groups) as naive, undisciplined and “not serious.” Who’s in charge? Where’s their strategic plan? Why don’t they have position papers? All this carping about Occupy failing to produce the usual trappings of a Washington-focused interest group missed two essential points the young people were making: (1) such trappings are not producing any change, and (2) we’re not an interest group, we’re a rebellion.

Rebellion has to come first. As it builds, structure and process will follow in due time. The great strength of Occupy is that it was a genuine, non-institutional, social, non-wonkish, morally compelling, and spontaneous stand against the culture of inequality that the moneyed powers are imposing. It touched people in deeper ways than issue politics will ever do. And the great achievement of Occupy is that it prompted a cultural shift that turned Wall Street’s barons into social pariahs and put the issue of inequality directly at the center of our nation’s political debate. We are the 99 percent.

To find populism flowering today, take a road trip across any stretch of America, or take a gander around your community. You will find a splendid array of ordinary folks rebelling against the bosses, bankers, big shots and bastards who dare subjugate us to their greed, including:

  • Mad-as-hellers in dozens of states, often in isolated rural areas, now form an increasingly effective guerrilla network to combat the massive invasion by global oil and gas giants to frack our land. Last November, three Colorado cities beat back Big Oil’s money and the lies of some of their own political officials in a vote to ban fracking in their areas. New York State and more than 100 other cities have imposed moratoria or bans on this corporate plundering.
  • Putting a specific face on Occupy’s theme of gross economic inequality, a nationwide revolt of exploited fast-food workers erupted last summer, gaining the high ground against McDonald’s and other poverty-wage profiteers. While Washington sticks to the miserly federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, grassroots campaigns are elevating state and local minimums to $10 an hour and above. Last month, with much pressure from the outside agitators, President Obama signed an executive order, which says the minimum wage for federal contract workers is $10.10 an hour.
  • Two huge corporate/government cabals — the sovereignty-sucking Trans-Pacific Partnership and the NSA’s secret, Orwellian program of spying on every American – are coming unraveled, thanks to public outrage that has united a left-right coalition in Congress. Meanwhile, the crucial populist struggle to salvage our democracy from the Supreme Court’s scurrilous Citizens United edict, quietly continues to gain ground with 16 states and over 200 local jurisdictions passing proposals in support of a constitutional repeal of the Court’s ruling.

There’s so much more underway, such as placing a Robin Hood tax on Wall Street speculators; a surge in co-ops as a democratic alternative to corporate control; getting Monsanto’s genetically altered organisms out of our food supply; a vibrant and positive campaign by immigrants themselves for immigrant rights; battling giants such as Disney World and Walmart to win paid sick leave days for low-wage workers; freeing college students from Wall Street’s loan sharks. All of these and so many more are the sprouting seeds of a widespread, flourishing Populism movement. The moment is ripe to bond them into something larger.

GitHub announces public roadmap for developer community - H Y R Tutorials

GitHub announces public roadmap for developer community

Share This
GitHub announces public roadmap for developer community
GitHub has started publishing a public roadmap for its future releases. GitHub public roadmap will provide more information about what features GitHub is working on and when it will ship them.

According to GitHub, the GitHub public roadmap is the natural consequence of their continued collaboration with the open-source community, which includes the recently announced GitHub Discussions, as well as of the high rate at which GitHub has been introducing new features in the last year. Those include workflow improvements such as Actions, Packages, and Codespaces; better support for writing secure code; and new mobile, desktop, and CLI clients.
With more transparency into what we’re building, you can also plan better and share feedback earlier to influence what we’re building.
The GitHub public roadmap can be accessed through a project board in a GitHub repository. Each column on the project board represents an upcoming GitHub release with a list of planned features. For each feature, you can access a detailed issue with all relevant information. This includes what is planned, why it's important when it will become available, and additional details.

GitHub Roadmap

Features are labeled so you can see what GitHub is working on for major areas of work.

While GitHub's public roadmap aims to include as much information as possible and will be updated regularly, it will not be exhaustive. Also important to note, the roadmap is meant to communicate GitHub plans, not really as a collaboration medium. Indeed, all issues are currently read-only and conversations are locked. This decision attempts to ensure all features originate from GitHub, says the company. Still, the open-source community immediately started to open issues hoping to influence the GitHub process.

Happiness ministry : We are not happy – Imo people

Right from 2011 when Imo State Governor Ethelbert Anayo Okorocha was elected as the Number One citizen of the state, he has remained in the eye of the storm, both in the state and the country, because of his unorthodox style of administration, which has to do largely with his policies and pronouncements, and reversal of such polices within a twinkle of an eye.

However, one of his enduring polices, for which he has been commended, is the free education policy at all levels. Regardless of its quality, it has afforded the indigenes and non-indigenes in the state to send their wards to public secondary schools and the state-owned tertiary institutions.

Before creating the Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment, which has generated controversy, Okorocha had equally created ministries of Non-Formal Sector and Market Development, a move that was apparently meant to address what he had described as the poor state of Imo markets and to organize the non-formal sector to make them more productive, only for him to scrap them.

Last week, Okorocha appointed 28 new commissioners with his younger sister, Mrs. Ogechi Ololo, as the commissioner for Happiness Purpose Fulfillment. This promptly sparked off another controversy especially as she had never appeared before the House of Assembly for screening.

Mrs Ogechi Ololo who holds a Masters degree in Computer Science is also the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor 0n Domestic Affairs and Food security. She is also the link between the state government and the federal government on N-Power, the CBN Anchor Borrowers Porgramme and Bank of Industriy empowerment-projects.

In spite of the accomplishments of the governor in the state, the preponderance of the views in the state show that since 2011 when he was elected as the chief executive of the state, the policies of his government have been anti-people as the policies had made the majority of the citizens poorer.

In the view of Collins Ughalla, the current absurdity called the Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment shows that Okorocha is just realizing after seven years as a governor of the state that the entire citizens of the state are not happy with his Imo Rescue Mission.

“It is pity that in his seventh year the governor just realised that the people have not been happy with him. The governor separated himself from the people by the actions he took after he was sworn in, by sacking the 10,000 jobs beneficiaries and taking away food and happiness from thousands of Imo families. The N145m monthly wagebill that got to Imo families via the 10,000 jobs was cut off.

Not only that, the governor sacked close to 400 elected local government officials and cut off their means of livelihood. He also sacked members of boards with statutory tenure, including the Chairman of the Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, HRH Eze Dr Clement Ilomuanya. These people have been in court, and despite getting favourable judgements the governor has refused to comply with court judgements.”

He added, “Imo people feel bad that Governor Okorocha’s government destroyed the health system in the state when he came on board. He concessioned all the general hospitals in the state and shut down all the health centres built by Ikedi Ohakim and Achike Udenwa.

Since 2011 Imo people know nothing about public health facility and they have paid through the nose treating themselves at the private hospitals. All the 1322 water schemes built by the Ohakim administration have been destroyed, and Imo people cannot find water to drink for seven years.”

Also speaking in the same vein, Chief Basil Eke said: “I have never seen this type of administration which has caused so much pain to the people. The most frightening is that government will forcefully take any land it wants under the guise of overriding public interest but only for the same government to parcel out the land to its relations and close aides.

If you go to court you are wasting your time because this administration does not obey court orders. Recently the state government revoked the certificate of occupancy of the those who live at the World Bank area and ordered them to pay N1.2 million or their houses would be demolished.”

Continuing, he said: “You should know that these houses were built in the late 70’s on owner-occupier basis through the partnership of the World bank and the then Sam Mbakwe government. Then in 2017 a governor suddenly wakes up and tells you that he has revoked your Certificate of Occupancy, which you had long paid for more than 30 years ago.

But, in order not to be rendered homeless they had to look for money to pay. It is that bad, because of the way that Okorocha has been governing the state as if it is his private state.

Similarly, Dr. Harold Wilson Onumuo, said that the current situation in the state where people are suffering with the state government wasting money on frivolities like erecting of statues of foreign leaders and spending hundreds of millions on Christmas decorations, creating the Ministry of Happiness or whatever will not address the ill feelings of the people of the state against this government.

“It is quite laughable for the same governor who has created poverty in the state to now turn around to create a Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment. And the question we should ask the governor is: how does this bogus ministry address the issue of those whose livelihood has been destroyed by this same government under the guise of the urban renewal? How would this ministry address the issue of hunger in the state and hopelessness in the state? Or will the people eat the Christmas decorations at the Government House Chapel?

“If the governor really wants to make people of the state happy he should fix the state which he has already laid to waste through his knee jack policies, and make the environment more conducive for the private sector to strive which is the only way that the teeming unemployed graduates in the state can find employment.

Now, all the state owned industries he inherited are in comatose. The only thing that can make people happy is when have they opportunities to fulfill their dreams and not through a bogus whose functions are still not properly defined.”

Okere Abaziem, a trader, whose shop was demolished at Akwakuma, said that the only thing that can make him happy is if the governor gives him a new shop to enable him start afresh.

Are you considering booking your wedding at Immerse Winery in the Yarra Valley? Firstly, yay! You’re just about to make a wonderful choice. When it comes to Yarra Valley weddings, Immerse is really the perfect spot. There’s the beautiful grounds and vineyards, onsite chapel with a stunning view, fantastic food, generous dance floor and then to top it off, onsite accommodation so your guests can really let their hair down.

We’ve photographed quite a few weddings at Immerse recently and it’s starting to feel like our second home! We love returning to the venue as we know we are guaranteed beautiful photography locations and all just within a short stroll. Here’s some of our favourite spots around the venue:

1. Bridal suite

When some reception venues promise a ‘bridal suite’ they sometimes really mean a small room with barely enough space for one person to get ready, let alone an entire bridal party. You’re in luck at Immerse, the bridal suite is a decent size and has lots of beautiful natural light – a dream for makeup and hair artists.

2. In the vineyards

Obviously, the best part of having a wedding at a winery is getting to take some photos in the vineyards! Let your photographer guide you in choosing the best ones on the day because a lot depends on the time of year and time of day – but there are numerous options literally metres from the chapel, so you won’t have to walk far.

3. Bridge

If you’re wandering around to take photos, this cute little bridge is a nice place to stop and adds a little variety to your photos. Being small means your photographer can get shots from all angles, while you guys take some time out for a sneaky smooch.

4. In the field

Once you’re across the little bridge, it’s a short walk to a field with spectacular Valley views. If you’ve got some special cars that you’d like photos with (like these guys), this is a great spot – so ask your chauffeur to set the cars up for you ahead of time.

5. Row of trees

Near the reception entrance is a beautiful row of trees that seem to have been custom planted for photographs! I’m not sure about that, but it is a beautiful backdrop and opportunity to rope in some veil tosser volunteers to capture a stunning veil shot.

6. Down by the lake

A little further walk if you’ve got time is a cute little lake, which can be great for some different backdrops. Although you do have to walk over a slightly rickety bridge to get there, we think it’s worth the effort!

7. Love swing

Installed by Immerse a few years ago, the love swing is a perfect little spot to take a moment away from your bridal party for some private shots – and rest your feet at the same time! Depending of the time of year, you might be lucky enough to be surrounded by beautiful roses in bloom.

8. Take a walk

Yes, there are specific ‘photo spots’ but more than not, we find the best photos come from taking a walk around the grounds with an open mind to see what looks good on the day. A good photographer will have an eye for detail and spot locations you wouldn’t ever imagine.

9. Courtyard at night

We always recommend that our couples schedule some time during the reception (immediately after mains is usually perfect) to duck out and take some sunset or night shots. With the chaos of the day, it’s difficult sometimes to get some alone time to really soak up the day and enjoy the moment. And if there are guests in the courtyard, we can easily shoo them out!

Segments [joint with FASB]

Date recorded:

Dialogue on segments projects with the FASB (IASB Agenda Paper 27A)

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) (together “the boards”) are currently both performing work on segment reporting. The objective of this session was to update the FASB on the post-implementation review (PIR) of IFRS 8 Operating Segments and the subsequent work arising from that review. The IASB staff initially set out the background and history of the PIR and the Exposure Draft (ED) issued in response to the findings of the PIR. The IASB staff then discussed the key findings from the feedback to the ED. Based on this feedback, the IASB decided not to amend IFRS 8 at this time as, in aggregate, the proposals that the IASB supported would not result in sufficient improvements in information to investors to justify the cost that stakeholders would incur if the IASB were to amend IFRS 8.

Staff recommendation

The session was for educational purposes and therefore the agenda paper did not contain any staff recommendations. FASB Board members were invited to ask any questions they might have on the project.

The discussion focused on aggregation criteria with one FASB member asking whether the IASB had considered adjusting the criteria. The IASB Technical Principal confirmed this but feedback revealed that adding a clarification was not enough. The IASB’s Accounting Standards Advisory Forum (ASAF) was consulted as regards the FASB approach, but feedback from ASAF had also been negative. The IASB has therefore decided not to move forward with this. An IASB member added that a part-solution was considered but eventually discarded. On average number of segments, the IASB did not have conclusive statistics. FASB research had indicated that US entities have more reportable segments than entities applying IFRS, however the research might not be directly comparable as this depends on the entity size.

Simplification of the Aggregation Criteria and Improving Segment Disclosures (FASB Agenda Papers 27B–27C)

The FASB is currently considering making some targeted changes to Topic 280, Segment Reporting, which is substantially converged with IFRS 8. As regards the segment aggregation process, the FASB is considering to either remove the aggregation criteria (but retain the practical limit guidance) or re-order the process for determining reportable segments and so that the quantitative thresholds are considered earlier in that process. As regards disclosures, the FASB is focusing on three areas:

  • Add individual pieces of segmental information to the list of required disclosures
  • Require the disclosures to be reported in a table
  • Require a table of regularly reviewed information based on how it relates to the lines in the financial statements

The FASB staff presented the purpose of the project and issues identified that are outside the scope of the project. The FASB staff then looked into the details of the proposed improvements.

Staff recommendation

The session was for educational purposes and therefore does not contain any staff recommendations. The FASB staff asked for IASB members’ comments and questions.

IASB members found the consideration to remove the aggregation criteria interesting, however one IASB member asked why the FASB would retain the practical limit. In the IASB member’s view, it would open up opportunities to conceal important information. The FASB’s project lead replied that removing the aggregation criteria would not be a workable approach without the practical limit as some entities have up to 50 reportable segments.

As regards the disclosure requirements, one IASB member asked whether introducing a table would actually increase information. The FASB’s project lead replied that it could inspire a behavioural change to provide the information required. Another IASB suggested to focus on information regularly reviewed by the CODM rather than information available to the CODM. It was also asked whether segment asset information was mandatory, to which the FASB replied it is only mandatory if it is regularly reviewed by the CODM.

We comment on the CMA proposals for audit reform in the UK

  • CMA Aug 14 response Image

27 Aug 2014

We have published our comment letter on the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA’s) consultation on the draft Statutory Audit Services for Large Companies Market Investigation (Mandatory use of competitive tender processes and Audit Committee responsibilities) Order 2014 ("the Order").

The Order seeks to implement aspects of the Competition Commission’s package of remedies for audit reform in the UK in light of agreement at European level on audit reform.

We welcome the CMA’s decision to align the timetable and transitional requirements for their requirement for FTSE 350 companies to tender their audits every ten years with the tendering and rotation requirements of the new EU audit reform package. Our main comment concerns the interpretation of those transitional provisions; we urge the CMA to discuss these with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), and the European Commission. This would help avoid confusing interaction between three different sets of rules – those of the CMA, those of EU law, and the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code which will remain until at least October 2016.

Our other comments are

  • in order to avoid an immediate and unplanned tender if a company unexpectedly enters the FTSE 350 during a year, the status of the company in the preceding financial year should be used to determine whether the Order applies to a company;
  • a statutory requirement to disclose compliance with the Order would be uninformative to stakeholders. More useful quantitative and qualitative information is already required by the UK Corporate Governance Code and other parts of the draft Order – if a disclosure obligation is retained, it should be made more informative; and
  • the CMA should be clear that they intend to use the information gathering powers in the Order only if sufficient information is not already available. We believe that compliance with the Order should be monitored by the FRC, who will already be monitoring compliance with the rotation and tendering requirements of the EU audit reform package.

The full comment letter can be downloaded from our publications pages.
