The document outlines proposals to reform horse racing in the United States. It suggests appointing a commissioner with real authority, creating a single racing jurisdiction, instituting progressively punitive fines for rules violations including a lifetime ban after the third offense, allowing open betting from any advance deposit wagering platform, and reducing the take-out rate. It also proposes incentives to keep horses racing longer such as changing breeding rules and improving purse structures for older horses. Additionally, it recommends restructuring racing into a tour format with shorter meets, divisions between regions, standings, and a claiming division, with November and December being dark months.
Best Practice Solutions for Frequest Ajax Use Cases With PrototypeChristophe Porteneuve
These use cases drop in time and again: checkbox lists; live login validation; dynamic form rows; server-side processing progress indicators; list reordering using drag and drop; and more… As always, there are a lot of terrible ways to achieve those, several decent ones, and precious few really good takes. This session will review several such use cases and detail various ways to implement them, contrasting the ugly and the beautiful, showing useful reflexes and rules of thumb, with a special focus on performance and maintenance.

“Qual è l'ora migliore per avere buone idee?”, “Come posso diventare più creativo/a?”. Un ebook gratuito di 32 pagine, chiaro e divertente, per comprendere meglio alcuni "segreti" della creatività
This session of The Ajax Experience 2008 takes a look at the latest features in both Prototype and script.aculo.us, including custom events and how to leverage them, method wrapping for AOP-style programming, sprockets, the refactorings and improvements on Ajax, scheduling and the DOM, the new effects engine, and more.
We wrap up with an overview of the community landscape for these libraries, looking at major helpful resources, prominent peripheral frameworks, and seeing what the future looks like for both Prototype and script.aculo.us.
Climate Change and the 5 rules of the environmentjschmied
Basic introduction to climate change and basic foundational knowledge of environmental issues. Used to inspire others to take action on environmental issues. Also can be used discuss basics of all environmental topics and as a guide to planning and delivering environmental learning. Can be used with middle school, high school students college and teacher prep programs. I use these rules to guide my environmental learning program and highlight each with environmental grounding assignments, and other environmental projects in year long settings where students develop environmental understanding and responsibility over time.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
