If you have worked with After Effects for a while you'll notice that creating random animation movements with key frames can be a real pain and a challenging task, luckily there is a better solution thanks to the wiggle expressions you can achieve random movement fairly quickly without spending hours tweaking key frames right and left.
In this blog post I'll show multiple examples and methods of wiggle expressions from wiggle text to camera shake, I will also provide you the After Effects project source files so you can see how wiggle expressions are integrated with the layers. This should allow you to get a good understanding of how the wiggle expression works and use it for your own project. For those who hate programming expression I'll also go over other ways to create Jiggle movement without using codes.
What's a Wiggle Expression in After Effects ?
A wiggle expression in After Effects is a piece of JavaScript code that allow to move,scale,rotate… a layer back and forth in a random fashion.
The basic code look like this
- The 1st number 5 define the number of time your layer will wiggle per second. This case it move 5 time in 1 second
- The 2nd Number 10 define the how much it will move up and down this case 10 pixels
|Here is a Wiggle animation example based on the setting wiggle(5,10)
Apply a Wiggle Expression in After Effects?
Using and applying an expression is fairly simple, below are the steps to add the wiggle expression to a layer,image,text or video.
– Assuming you have a layer/text/image on your After Effects timeline like below
– Select the layer on your timeline and press P (It will show the position)
– On your keyboard Press Alt (PC) or Option (Mac) click on the stopwatch icon
– Position numbers X and Y should now be red, replace transform.position with this: wiggle(5,10)
Here is the wiggle-expression After Effect project just in case you need to see it in action.
Other Examples of Wiggle Expressions
Here is a method that should help you controlling the wiggle expression
- Create Null Layer | Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Y for Windows | Command+Option+Shift+Y for Mac
- Drag and Drop the "sliders control" from the effects and presets windows to your Null Layer
- Select the Null layer and press E, expand slider control to see the stopwatch
- Highlight 5, then drag and drop the expression pick whip
- Add keyframes to the slide control of you null layer, ex: 50.00 for the first keyframe and 0.00 for the second keyframe
- You Should have the wiggle animation starting and slowing down to completely stop such as below
- Download the Control Wiggle Expression After Effects project
Copy and Paste this expression below to your layer position to Wiggle your layer on the Y axis
org=value; temp=wiggle (8,40); [org[0],temp[1]];
Demo of Wiggle on Y Axis
Download the Wiggle on Y axis After Effects Project
org=value; temp=wiggle (8,40); [temp[0],org[1]];
Demo of Wiggle on X Axis
Download the Wiggle on X axis After Effects Project
- Make sure you turn on 3D layer on your layer
- Add this expression to the position
a =wiggle(0,0);
b =wiggle(0,0);
c = wiggle(5,95);[a[0],b[1],c[2]]
Demo of the Wiggle Expression on Z Axis
Download the Wiggle on Z axis After Effects Project
Make colors wiggle can be very difficult with expression, thanks to rowbyte this free plug in allows you to have a nice color wiggle animation.
The scale wiggle expression can be used in 2 ways
The regular wiggle expression on scale will wiggle the scale height and width separately
wiggle(5, 80)
If you'd like a wiggle with uniform scale use this expression below
w = wiggle(5, 80);
If you ever wanted to wiggle individual letters on a text follow these steps.
- Type your text in After Effects
- Click on the Animate icon and choose position
- Next to Animator1 Click on Add > Selector > Wiggly
- Add this wiggle expression wiggle(18,3) to the position of the Wiggly Selector 1
- You should now be able to see something like this
Download the Text Wiggle Expression AE project.
I am sure one day you'll have to create a fake camera shake movement or a shake effect to your video, using a Wiggle expression is probably the easiest method to simulate a random shake camera movement.
Watch this video tutorial which explained very well how camera shake is done with a wiggle expression.
The other alternative you should consider if you are pressed by the time is to use presets, I found a couple of websites that have already made camera shake presets for free.
– 15 Free Camera Shake Presets
– Handheld Camera Presets
The looping wiggle expression become handy when you want an object to move randomly in your composition. Looping wiggle should be seamless and you shouldn't see a cut, this expression is also used for background animation.
freq = 1; amp = 110; loopTime = 3; t = time % loopTime; wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t); wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime); linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2)
Download the Loop Wiggle expression example here.
Thanks to Dan Ebberts for this expression
Other way to wiggle in After Effects
For those who don't like programming expressions and codes After effects has other way to add a wiggle movement, here are a few methods below.
The Behaviors wiggle presets
After Effects has multiple wiggle presets you can find them in the Effects & Presets window (screenshot on the right)
– Animation Presets > Behavior Presets
The advantages of using the wiggle presets are the controls and options they include such as:
- Wiggle Speed
- Wiggle Amounts
- Wiggle Width
- Wiggle Nervousness
- Wiggle Skew
How apply the Wiggle Presets?
Just drag and drop the wiggle presets directly to your layer and see if you like the movement and controls.
If you want to see a preview of the wiggle presets please check the behaviors presets page.
The Wiggler
Another alternative to make a wiggle animation without using expression is to use the Wiggler tool.
In After Effects you can find the tool under the Windows tab > Wiggler
Here is how the wiggler tool works
- Create a text or a shape layer
- Create your first keyframe and your last keyframe
- Select Position
- Go to the Wiggler Windows and click Apply
- Once you click Apply, the Wiggler tool will create multiple keyframes to make the wiggle animation
Wiggle Plug-Ins
Another alternative to avoid wiggle expression is to use plug-ins below is a list of plug in that have wiggle options with controls.
- Duik Bassel (free)
Wiggle in DUIK bassel have good options such as separate X and Y dimensions and and individual controls
- pt_AutoExpress
- iexpression2

Ever since DJ Khaled dropped a cryptic video advertising an event called Impact17, the event has been shrouded in mystery. Ads for the coming Miami event/conference/phenomenon, all showing DJ Khaled's lovable face but not imparting much real information, have been popping up on the interwebs.
A news release called it a "platform for industry leaders and influencers to share their stories with young, spirited entrepreneurs of tomorrow." What does that mean? Is it a motivational seminar? A real-estate convention? One of those get-pumped, pyramid-scheme-like gatherings trying to rope us into selling some sort of energy drink that the FDA will absolutely ban later this month?
What kind of impact should we expect? Will a car crash be involved? We hope not.
Until yesterday, most of what we knew about the event came from its tagline — "Music, tech, fashion, art" — and basic information such as date, time, and ticket cost. (Impact17 is scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday, June 29, at the University of Miami's Watsco Center. Tickets start at $39 and go up to $249 for a VIP experience.)
So what is DJ Khaled selling us?
According to Matt Krane, one of the producers of the event, the day will consist of two unique parts: one that's free and one that will require a paid ticket.
The free element, dubbed the "pop-up station," will kick off at 1 p.m. in the U's field house (attached to the Watsco Center) and boast a number of pop-up shops, an art gallery showing local street/contemporary art, and other local/cultural goodness.
At 4 p.m., the "conference," as Krane calls it, will begin with a red-carpet entrance. This portion of the event — which requires a ticket for entry — will present panelists, roundtable discussions, speakers, DJ performances, and a fashion show, as well as that DJ Khaled performance.
Among the 20-plus "impacters" slated for the conference are Jeremy Wiesen, a Harvard-educated lawyer who's been a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, UC Berkeley and UCLA; ex-NFL player and Arivo CEO Bryant McKinnie; entertainment attorney Ivan Parron; RecordGram CEO Erik Mendelson; artist/producer LunchMoney Lewis; and Slip-N-Slide Records founder Ted Lucas. All guests are subject to change, so organizers advise potential Impact17 attendees to check impact17mia.com.
Topics include everything from "The State of Entrepreneurship" to "Protecting Intellectual Property" to "Fashion Brands and Business Development."
And, of course, there'll be a performance by Khaled himself.
"There's been nothing like this to come to Miami," Krane says. "We didn't want it to be a regular concert... We wanted to dabble in all the different cultures and art forms. And we really wanted to pay it forward and get the community engaged... We want everyone involved with the movement."
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to Miami New Times's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Miami's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
On the charitable front, Impact17 has partnered with ridesharing app Lyft. For every "RidetoImpact" promotional ride taken June 1 through June 29, a buck will go to Make-A-Wish Southern Florida and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.
"Really we're looking to give back to our youth... and invest in our youth," adds Nasha Clark, media and marketing rep for the event. "You get to see some of the most impactful people in these industries — some stars and some emerging. You can learn how to push that mixtape if you're into music... If you're in art, how to find a mentor... or how to start a fashion line. We're marrying all these subcultures and making a really dope event."
Amid these details, there are still some pieces to the inspirational puzzle being ironed out — and guests can expect some hearty surprises. We'll just have to brace for Impact.
Thursday, June 29, at University of Miami's Watsco Center (1245 Dauer Dr., Coral Gables). Free event from 1 to 6 p.m.; ticketed event with DJ Khaled performance begins at 4 p.m.; tickets cost $39 to $249. Visit impact17mia.com.

- Description
The Drive Med-Aire Plus 8 Inch Alternating Pressure and Low Air Loss Mattress System is specifically designed for patients who need to reduce or prevent decubitis ulcers. Through alternating pressure, the mattress can dynamically change patient pressure points and improve patient circulation. Other benefits of the system include microclimate control and friction reduction. The low air loss mattress is safe because it has air cells designed to minimize chance of mattress to bottom out. If there are any problems with the mattress, there are 3 audio and visual alarms that go off before it becomes a bigger issue.
The mattress is made up of twenty different air cells. Three of these cells stay filled or static and are placed at the head to keep patient comfort during alternating cell therapy. Nine of the twenty cells are also designed with laser hose in order to keep the patient cool and comfortable. They also decrease the needed recovery time. The pump included with the mattress gives eight liters per minute. When the air is pumped in, it goes through kink-proof spring lined tubing. In case of emergency, the mattress has CPR valves for incredibly quick deflation.
The Med-Aire Plus Alternating Pressure and Low Air Loss Mattress System is connected to a filter that has multiple indicators and buttons for a customized treatment. Even with its multiple options so you can find the perfect cycle and pressure, it is still incredibly simple. Around the mattress is a nylon cover. This ensures that the mattress will stay in great shape because it is water-resistant and durable. It will also stay clean because it is easily machine washable.
There are three mattress system options with 80 or 84 inch length or a defined perimeter. You may also be interested in similar mattresses also manufactured by Drive Medical like the 10 Inch Lateral Rotation Mattress that treats and prevents pressure ulcers using adjustable turning positions up to 40 degrees.

900-acre solar project in Montgomery County to get tax break
Editor's note: This story was corrected on Dec. 6, 2018. An earlier version incorrectly stated the proposed Mohawk Solar project would receive funding from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY -- The Montgomery County Industrial Development Agency is set to approve a 15-year Payment in Lieu of Taxes Agreement [PILOT] at its Dec. 20 meeting for a $135 million, 900-acre "Mohawk Solar" project in the towns of Canajoharie and Minden.
County Economic Development Director Ken Rose said all five taxing jurisdictions affected by the agreement — Canajoharie Central School District, Montgomery County, Fort Plain Central School District and the towns of Canajoharie and Minden — have already passed resolutions approving the PILOT, which will be granted and administered by the IDA.
"We decided to go last," Rose said, explaining the IDA board wanted to make certain the deal was supported by the affected municipalities before voting on it.
The PILOT takes into account that 80 percent of the project is in the town of Canajoharie and 20 percent in the town of Minden.
If the project is completed in 2019, it will pay a combined $300,000 in taxes to the five municipalities:
- $134,700 to Canajoharie Central School District
- $107,000 to Montgomery County
- $33,300 to Fort PlainCentral School District
- $19,100 to the town of Canajoharie
- $5,900 to the town of Minden
After the first year, the percentage of the solar farm's assessed value that will be taxed would increase by 2 percent per year for 15 years, after which it will be assessed at full value.
Rose said the Montgomery County IDA did not grant a sales tax abatement for the project, which should result in an estimated $800,000 to $900,000 in revenue from eligible purchases during the construction phase.
"The project initially requested a 30-year PILOT, but we negotiated that down to 15 years," Rose said. "We felt that was the way to go, given that these solar projects tend to only create a few permanent jobs -- maybe three or four."
Montgomery County has been targeted by several large-scale and many smaller-scale solar energy projects due, in part, to a 115-kilovolt transmission line that crosses part of the county.
The county has had three different policies on how to tax new solar projects in recent years.
In 2017, Montgomery County opted out of a New York state real property tax law that allows solar energy projects to have zero property taxes for 15 years after construction. The county then passed a local law to require a 15-year PILOT agreement for all commercial solar energy projects in the county but dropped that policy after about a year.
"We didn't possess the administrative capacity, nor did we feel like that was a good thing to keep that going, moving forward," said County Executive Matt Ossenfort. "After doing it for about a year, we decided that wasn't the way we wanted to go. We were trying to find a middle ground between opting out and just going all or nothing, but at the end of the day, we've decided to take all of these on a case-by-case basis."
Ossenfort said that all commercial solar energy projects in Montgomery County will now start out as fully taxable, but they could receive PILOT agreements through the county IDA.
Rose said the IDA plans to use the same process -- seeking approval from all affected taxing districts -- before granting PILOTs to future commercial solar projects.
Mohawk Solar is being built by Community Energy Solar.
Ossenfort said the project could set Montgomery County apart in the state, as an example of how to handle such projects.
"When this is built, and if everything goes smoothly, this will be the largest solar project in New York state," Ossenfort said.

An alien race
Quite surprisingly in a new year's revelation, Britain's first female Cosmonaut Dr Helen Sharman to travel to the MIR Soviet space station back in 1991 told the Sunday Observer newspaper that 'extra terrestrial aliens' exist, there's no two ways about it.
She went on to say that it is quite possible that they are living amongst us and we do not know it.
I am not really surprised as I have long suspected that indeed aliens could may well have integrated themselves amongst us, as seemingly we have had people in a political party who during the last 12 years have subjected the population to a deliberately calculated period of punishment called austerity that hit the poorest, the disabled, and the disadvantaged really hard and made life an abject misery for them.
How else can the actions of the Tory party be explained by seeing nothing wrong by preying on their own species, whilst seemingly deriving some sort of perverted pleasure out of doing so, if they are not of this world?
Considering the recent General Election result I wondered how they managed to suddenly make people flock to vote for them and for yet more punishment from the party of billionaires.
I came to the conclusion that it was possibly done by putting some sort of alien amnesiac substance in the water supply, or maybe by bombarding the nations' brains with 5G signals.
The Tory Party or Jackanory Party as I have now nicknamed them as some of their stories border on the unbelievable, which is not really surprising that their leader and current PM also finds it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction as her Majesty the Queen found out to her cost last year during the Brexit discussions.
The alien race amount now feel content in that they can now carry on with dismantling the welfare state, privatising the NHS, adding more people to the homeless list, and not bothering to deal with the care crisis for the elderly, running our essential services into the ground, and wreaking more havoc to our national railway system to name but a few things.
I wonder if Dr Sharman has any idea as to where in the cosmos this alien takeover race has emanated from, as if we all knew this secret then we would quite possibly stand a chance of sending them back, in true 'ET go home' fashion.

Work a bit faster please
Following the reporting of China's building of a new 1000 bed hospital in 10 days, did their workforce, I wonder, learn from the dynamics that appear to be Swindon Borough Council based?
The latter took only just over four months to refurbish the bus station waiting room.
A seemingly mammoth task involving a few chairs, desk and a partition wall. Oh wait, its closed again for alterations.
Or perhaps lessons learned from British Gas who have already taken several weeks to attend to about a 100 yards or so of gas pipe in Gypsy Lane with of course maximum inconvenience all round.
Cheers for the good ol' British workforce eh ?

More men on the job
I have long been of the opinion, that road works are a long time about.
Because contractors take on more than one job at a time and split their men and machinery between jobs. Thus leaving us to get through all the bottle necks.
I think the council ought to make sure, that these contractors put more men on the job to get it done quicker .

Another p-sec we can do without. I agree. She should move to PoK permanently. Good riddance. Pathetic. Also, another "scam" that hit the news was the Barkha Dutt scam. She is another p-sec we can do without. Send her to PoK too.
November 23, 2010 at 3:55 am
you dont seem to have read arundhati roy's statements outside of the reportage by Times TV.she doesnt really think that geelani's kashmir is going to be utopia.she is only saying that the indian version of imperial rule in kashmir is not a good idea either -especially since it is ruled by military power and disregard of the constitution.atleast geelani is "their own" devil. not any different from why the brits should have left india.
she is under no obligation to play cheerleader for the indian state.so the azad kashmir rhetoric is way off target
November 24, 2010 at 4:11 am
geelani is actually quite 'principled' .ie he has been saying the same things since ages – unlike the client politicians like omar and father.
you launch into meaningless rhetoric,when it is quite known that kashmir has actually transformed from a relative paradise to living hell in the last 2 decades.
the indian modern state ,in practice, is an abomination and your cheerleading for it is,as well.

Sydney - Australia's sevens captain James Stannard will miss the Commonwealth Games after being punched in the head in an "alleged unprovoked assault", police and Rugby Australia said on Friday.
The 35-year-old, who had been at a farewell dinner for outgoing head coach Andy Friend late on Thursday, was allegedly attacked in the Sydney suburb of Coogee early on Friday, New South Wales state police said.
"As a result, he fell and struck his head on the pavement," police said in a statement.
Rugby Australia said Stannard was in hospital in a stable condition with a fractured skull and would miss out on the Commonwealth Games, which will be held on the Gold Coast from April 4-15.
"Right now, he's got some time to heal and he's not available for the Commonwealth Games," Rugby Australia's high-performance general manager Ben Whitaker told reporters in Sydney.
"It's obviously a massive disappointment for all of us and James and his family.
"Once that's all sorted, then we can look at how he can return to play."
The governing body said earlier that two of Stannard's team-mates Lewis Holland and Ben O'Donnell, as well as Friend, detained the alleged attacker - a 22-year-old Briton - until police arrived.
"The 22-year-old man who threw the punch then fled the scene, but was apprehended by witnesses until police arrived and placed him under arrest," NSW Police added.
The British man, charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, was granted conditional bail on Friday and is due to return to court on April 19.
Stannard was to lead Australia's sevens team at the Commonwealth Games after injured captain Holland was ruled out earlier in March.
Rugby Australia said in mid-March that Friend's contract, due to expire in July, would not be renewed.
Current women's sevens coach Tim Walsh, who is leaving his role after the Commonwealth Games, was selected as Friend's replacement.

Debate in the B.C. Legislature on Monday (April 16, 2018) on the Trans Mountain pipeline.
T. Stone: Yesterday we learned from the Prime Minister of Canada that the Premier actually had nothing constructive to say to the federal government about ocean protection. Again, nothing constructive to say about ocean protection.
According to the Prime Minister: "Unfortunately, over the course of almost a year, the B.C. Government has not specifically put forward proposals." My question to the Premier is this. If he thinks that the Prime Minister is wrong, could he stand in the House today and indicate which specific proposals he actually has put forward to the federal government about ocean protection?
Hon. J. Horgan: I welcome the intervention from the upland member from Kamloops South today in the House. He wasn't in the meeting, so I don't think that he can account for what happened inside the walls of the Prime Minister's office. He can refer to the comments the Prime Minister made on his way from Lima to Paris.
What we talked about exclusively was defending B.C.'s coast. That was the point. That's why I went. We have been offering proposals at the officials level over the last nine months, and we'll continue to do that. One of the upsides of the meeting was a reintroduction of each other to the critical issues that we want to bring forward.
You'll remember, in January, the Environment Minister brought forward five points that we wanted to talk to British Columbians about. That is, again, the role and function of the government of British Columbia. That was rejected by the government of Alberta as unconstitutional. I disagree. This side of the House disagrees.
We're going to be taking that question to a court of law to ensure that we have the right to protect and defend our coast. That's what the people expect us to do, and that's what we're going to do.
Mr. Speaker: The member for Kamloops–South Thompson on a supplemental.
T. Stone: Well, the Premier says he's focused on protecting B.C.'s coast, but when the Prime Minister of Canada asks him for something constructive, anything constructive, on ocean protection, he has absolutely nothing to say for almost a year — nothing except rhetoric and empty threats.
So again, to the Premier: why has he consistently chosen to make empty threats instead of offering specific, real solutions on ocean protection for almost a year hence?
Hon. J. Horgan: The member's references are inaccurate. We spoke explicitly about the issues that are affecting British Columbia with the prospect of a catastrophic diluted bitumen spill — the impact on our lands, on our waters and on our coast. That was the whole point. That is why we intervened in two court actions when we formed a government that the previous government chose to ignore, and that is why we're making a reference to a higher court to protect the jurisdiction of British Columbians.
Not this government, every government from this point on should have the right to defend the interests of British Columbians. I'm surprised the people on that side of the House don't agree with everyone on this side and the vast majority of British Columbians.
A. Weaver: I must admit, it's galling for me to hear members of the Liberal Party of Alberta opposite wax eloquently about ocean protection — an area that I actually served as an intervener on. I can assure you that when there's an ocean protection plan that's predicated on the existence of 20 hours of sunlight, nobody's safety is being protected here in the province of British Columbia.
Yesterday the Premier met with the Prime Minister and the Alberta Premier to discuss the manufactured conflict over the Trans Mountain expansion that has the side opposite, the Liberal members from Alberta, all in a tizzy these days.
After the meeting, the Premier stated that he and the Prime Minister agreed to protect our coasts by working together to close gaps in the ocean protection plan. The federal ocean protection plan — let's be clear, that's Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific; it's all three of them — doesn't address the fundamental and unchanged fact that we cannot protect our coast. We can't clean up the diluted bitumen if there we're a spill. You don't have to believe me, you can believe the Royal Society of Canada or the National Academy of Sciences in the U.S. expert panel reports.
Will the Premier confirm that B.C.'s position is unchanged today and that he will use every tool available to him to stand up for our coast, for science and for our economy in the face of the proposed reckless federal intervention in the Trans Mountain expansion?
Mr. Speaker: Premier, before you answer the question….
Member, if I may ask you to retract your comment about the Liberals from Alberta.
A. Weaver: Sorry, I retract the comment about the Liberals from Alberta. I was trying to suggest that the members opposite are not putting the interests of British Columbians first, are representing external interests.
Mr. Speaker: Thank you.
Hon. J. Horgan: I thank the member, the Leader of the Third Party, for his question and, particularly, the reference to the Royal Society of Canada and the gaps there are in the science, which, again, brings me back, also, to the question from the previous member.
The government of British Columbia has been meeting regularly with the federal government on the ocean protection plan and discussing the gaps in knowledge, the gaps in science that have been acknowledged by the Royal Society. In fact, that was the foundation of our intervention to go to the public and talk about these issues in January.
I reaffirmed those points, hon. Member, to the Prime Minister and to the leader of the government of Alberta. I said very clearly and without reservation that the province of British Columbia is extremely concerned about the consequences of a catastrophic bitumen spill.
And I'll remind the member for Skeena, who's been silent in this House but active outside, of when he said, back in 2013: "There's no real way to pick this product up out of the marine environment. If they can prove that, then they should show us where it's being practised around the world. I'm just not willing to actually allow the Haisla people to take a position on that."
So even some members on that side, hon. Member, agree with us that there is inexact science. We need to do more work on the subject.
Mr. Speaker: The Leader of the Third Party on a supplemental.
A. Weaver: There's growing evidence to suggest that Kinder Morgan set their outrageous ultimatum as either part of an exit strategy or in order to hand over the financial risk to Canadian taxpayers.
During the NEB hearings on Trans Mountain — I get that the people opposite don't understand the economics of this — the company brought forward projections that the price of oil in the base-case scenario — if any of them had read the NEB process, they would understand this — would be $100 a barrel. Its best-case scenario saw prices reach $150 a barrel by 2040.
Since then, the development and discovery of new shale oil deposits, as well as OPEC policy changes, mean that oil has been trading at between $40 and $60 a barrel. Even the most optimistic forecast for 2020 is out around $70 a barrel. Despite this new reality, the federal and Alberta governments seem committed to transfer the economic risks onto Canadian taxpayers.
My question is to the Premier. Did he bring up with the Prime Minister the notion that subsidizing this project exposes B.C. taxpayers and Canadian taxpayers to massive risk at a time when there is growing uncertainty about Trans Mountain's economic benefits, if any, and that it is not in line with the type of economic development needed to position Canada as a leader in the new economy?
Hon. J. Horgan: I thank the member for the question. We did raise, with the federal Minister of Finance and the Prime Minister of Canada, where the economics were in having the government of Canada intervene on behalf of an offshore company to invest B.C. and Canadian tax dollars in a pipeline, when there were other more constructive investments that they could make in the new economy, in the green economy. Or, at a minimum, even if they wanted to invest in diluted bitumen, to work with all parties…. I'm sure members on that side of the House would agree that if we could create more jobs in Canada by adding more value to our raw materials, whether it be diluted bitumen or logs, we should do that.
That was rejected by the government. They chose the course that I believe they'll be laying out for the people of Canada in the days and weeks ahead, and it'll be up to the Members of Parliament to debate those mechanisms, those tools, as they come forward. But it will be up to British Columbians and all Canadians to ask themselves if this is an appropriate investment of tax dollars.

It's not unusual in the United States for a new mother to quit her job after giving birth to a child. Sam is only 9 months old, and his mother, Lora, dreaded the thought of going back to work.
"I only got six weeks with him, and it is just not enough time.We need somebody to take care of him, but the cost of day care in D.C. is really high. I wouldn't be bringing home enough money at the end of 2 weeks ,umn ,I mean ,to barely cover the day-care bills."
While the U.S. is nowhere close to a federal law that mandates paid maternity leave, some states are addressing the issue. A new law in New York assures new mothers 12 weeks of paid maternity leave; New Jersey covers 67 percent of six weeks of leave. California covers 55 percent of six weeks; Rhode Island covers four weeks.
"If you live in one of those four states, then you are covered and eligible to get paid leave during those times, but if you live in the rest of the US, it really just depends on whether or not your employer voluntarily offers those benefits,since we do not have any national programs to provide wage replacement to people when they are on leave."
Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders favor a national program that would allow new mothers to take 12 weeks of paid maternity leave. This is an improvement over the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act —which provides job-protected unpaid leave to government employees or those in private sector companies with 50 or more employees. But critics say that law only covers 60 percent of new mothers because only 60 percent of workers even qualify, and many new moms cannot afford to take time off.
"The United States hasn't caught up with the fact that most women today work. You konw, our labor laws ... were set, the majority of them were set a long time ago when families looked very different. But today the majority of women work, the majority of mothers work, even the majority of moms who have very young children are in the paid labor force."
Still, some companies do provide not only paid maternity leave but paid paternity leave as well.New dad Joe is thrilled to have six weeks of paid leave.
"I think it is up to employers to pay or not, but the best employers are doing it now. It is good for the employee, which means it is good for the company," he said.
Opponents of a paid family leave law say it's bad for business because it's too costly.
"Small businesses cannot afford to have that burden on them. Also, the small businesses cannot afford increases in taxes," said one.
But supporters of the idea say the cost of paid maternity leave is very low relative to the benefit to the family.

Celebrated each year on 17 March, St Patrick's Day, now a global celebration. It has come to be known as the day that people adorn themselves with green clothing and hats, paint shamrocks on their faces and drink Guinness, while the Chicago River is dyed a traditional green.
"May the Irish hills caress you;
may her lakes and rivers bless you;
may the luck of the Irish enfold you;
may the blessings of St Patrick behold you"

may her lakes and rivers bless you;
may the luck of the Irish enfold you;

But do you really know who St. Patrick was and why he is celebrated?
Patrick was born in AD 387 just south of Hadrian's Wall in Britain, which was part of the Roman Empire (that's right — he wasn't Irish!). He was captured by Irish pagans in his early teens and taken to Ireland, where he was enslaved for six years. During that time, he grew to like the spirit of the Irish. When he escaped and returned to his family, he vowed to one day return to Ireland.
He studied at monasteries on the continent and was eventually ordained a priest and then a bishop. Pope Celestine I commissioned Patrick to be an apostle to Ireland.
Patrick initially encountered many hardships among the pagans, particularly the druids. They weren't willing to give up their power over the old religion and feared Patrick and Christianity. Although the ruling monarch, King Laoghaire, didn't convert to Christianity, many of his family members did, and little by little, the old religion began to fade. Patrick traveled from town to town, tearing down idols and temples and establishing the Catholic Church. By AD 444, the primatial see and first cathedral of Ireland were built in Armagh.
Many stories are told in connection with St. Patrick. The three-leaf clover was said to be used by the saintly bishop to explain the Trinity to the pagans, which is why it is such a common St. Patrick's Day symbol today. Another legend has Patrick driving all the snakes out of Ireland; snakes were a popular symbol among the Irish pagans. He is certainly one of the most revered saints in the Catholic Church.
Today, St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, of many dioceses throughout the English-speaking world, and of engineers. He is also invoked against the fear of snakes and snakebites.
- St Patrick was not Irish
- It's unlikely St Patrick rid Ireland of its snakes…
- Green was not his colour
- The first St Patrick's Day parade was not held in Ireland
- Ireland is not the biggest consumer of Guinness

Convenient synthesis of 2-amino-3-(arylthio)indoles via the Rh-catalyzed reaction of 3-diazoindol-2-imines with thioesters†
2-Amino-3-(arylthio)indoles were conveniently synthesized via the Rh(II)-catalyzed C–S/N–C coupling reaction between 3-diazoindol-2-imines and thioesters. The products could be further oxidized to 2-amino-3-(arylsulfonyl)indoles by m-chloroperbenzoic acid and the N-sulfonyl group could be easily removed by reduction with SmI2.

A row has developed between popular Vincentian artist Grabba Finesse and Youtube channel uploader Vincy Connect.
Vincy Connect has become one of the go-to channels for local music but has now been closed down by Youtube after receiving 4 strikes from various complainants, including Grabba who said his music is being used without his authorization.
Vincy Connect, responding on Hot971 says that it was Grabba who emailed him his music and any money generated by the song would go to the artist. Grabba earlier had stated on AM Mayhem that he had instructed Vincy Connect to remove the song as he was the copyright holder otherwise, he would issue a "strike" to Youtube, which he subsequently did.
In a further development, Hakeen Yearwood of Hakeen Beats claims that the music, in fact, belongs to him. Hakeen stated that he produced the song last year and sent it to Grabba to sing on. He stated the next he heard of the song was on the radio and that it was now a "riddim" featuring a number of artists including Royal and Lavaman. Grabba countered that Hakeen is declared as a 50% copyright owner and released a voice note in which Hakeen seems to give Grabba full permission to use the song.
Something tells us this saga is not over.

The following short essay assignment is designed to help prepare you for an important part of the Final Paper. Choose either the same ethical question you formulated and introduced in the Week One Assignment, or a different one based off thelist of acceptable topics. Choose either utilitarian or deontological ethical theory to apply to the ethical question. Explain the core principles of that theory. Demonstrate how the principles of the theory support a certain position on that question. Articulate a relevant objection to that position. Write a five-paragraph essay that conforms to the requirements below. The paper must be at least 1,000 words in length (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. The introduction should clearly state the ethical question under consideration, and define the essential issues. You may build upon the question and introduction you provided in the Week One Assignment; or you may choose a different question, but it must be based off the list of acceptable topics.
Your introduction should include a brief remark about the kind of theory you will be using to approach this question. The last sentence of the introduction should briefly summarize the or position on the issue you think is best supported by this theory and succinctly state what the objection will be. Each paragraph in the body should start with a topic sentence that clearly identifies the main idea of the paragraph. Explain the core principles or features of the deontological or utilitarian theory and the general account of moral reasoning it provides. You must quote from at least one required resource other than your textbook that defends or represents that theory. Refer to the list of acceptable resources. Demonstrate how the principles or features of the deontological or utilitarian theory apply to the question under consideration and identify the specific conclusion that results from applying the reasoning characteristic of that kind of approach.
Your application should clearly show how the conclusion follows from the main principles and features of the theory as addressed in the previous paragraph. Please see the associated guidance for help in fulfilling this requirement. Raise a relevant objection to the argument expressed in your application. An objection articulates a plausible reason why someone might find the argument problematic. Note that this does not necessarily mean that the objection succeeds, or that the conclusion the theory supports is wrong. It may be an obstacle that any adequate defense of the conclusion would have to overcome, and it may be the case that the theory has the resources to overcome that obstacle. The conclusion should very briefly summarize the main points of your essay. You must use at least two resources to support your claims. At least one of the resources should be one of the Required or Recommended Resources that represent the theory you have chosen, and must be drawn from the list of acceptable resources available in your online classroom.
The other source should pertain to the particular issue you are writing about and should be drawn from the required or recommended readings in the course, or be a scholarly source found in the Ashford Unversity Library. You are encouraged to use additional resources, so long as at least two conform to the requirements above. The textbook does not count toward satisfying the resources requirement. To count toward satisfying the requirement, resources must be cited within the body of your paper and on the reference page and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. If you are unsure about whether a resource fulfills the requirement, or need assistance in finding resources, please contact your instructor. Aristotle says that the virtues are necessary for humans to attain happiness, but he means this in terms of something we might call "flourishing" or "living well", which he considers quite different than simply feeling good. Thus, according to Aristotle some people might feel that they are happy, but because they lack the virtues they are not truly flourishing. However, imagine someone that is deceitful, selfish, greedy, self-indulgent, and yet enjoys great pleasure and appears to be quite happy.

Space is a powerful tool to foster engagement, inspire innovation, and drive productivity. But what exactly does an optimal space look like? In the Science of Space, we explore how the science of intentional design can turn any work environment into a holistic experience.
Terraces may seem like the ultimate workplace amenities, but they actually benefit employers as much as they do employees. Research shows that having access to outdoor spaces during the workday can help employees be more productive and creative.
One body of research is around biophilia, which relates to how humans crave connections to nature and other living things. A recent survey found that people who work in spaces with natural features reported 15 percent higher levels of overall wellbeing, and feeling 6 percent more productive, and 15 percent more creative. Another study in the U.K. and the Netherlands saw a 15 percent increase in employee productivity after sprucing up sparse offices with plants.
Other experiments found benefits in increasing employees' exposure to natural lighting. A Cornell University study found that just sitting within 10 feet of a window resulted in an 84 percent decrease in eyestrain, headaches, and blurred-vision symptoms.
In addition, companies are increasingly embracing activity-based working; 45 percent of real estate executives anticipate migrating to an activity-based workspace curated for employee effectiveness and future design flexibility, according to the CBRE Americas Occupier Survey 2018. This means providing employees with space types that suit a variety of tasks and working styles—indoors and out.
Take all the research together, and it's clear that there's a business case for giving employees access to outdoor terraces. These spaces offer inspiring settings for collaborating and brainstorming and can provide impressive venues for client meetings.
Many WeWork locations around the world provide such outdoor spaces. Take a tour of some of WeWork's most inviting terraces:
Mexico City, Mexico
A variety of space types welcome employees of all working styles at WeWork Insurgentes Sur 601. There are high-top tables for collaborating, various seating arrangements for informal meetings, and individual hammocks for taking phone calls, reading, or head-down work.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
With views of mountains and water, plus lush plants around the perimeter, the terrace at WeWork Almirante Barroso 81 is an ideal place for employees to take a break. The cozy couches also offer an informal meeting place for one-on-ones.
Shanghai, China
The bleacher-style seating at WeWork One ITC is perfect for large meetings or presentations. The green wall even has a projection screen.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
The terrace at WeWork Av. Libertador 1000 offers tables and plush seating that are perfect for a quick snack or informal meetings with colleagues.
Miami, FL
Cushioned seating with vines running through the bright white pergola creates a soothing blend of nature and backyard-style relaxation at WeWork 2222 Ponce De Leon Blvd.
Barcelona, Spain
With game tables, hanging string lights, and a mix of high-top and casual seating, this terrace at WeWork Glories can double as an event space. The mini-palm plant adds the perfect touch of green.
Medellín, Colombia
Astroturf, bucket chairs, and the gorgeous skyscape make this terrace at WeWork Carrera 42 #5 Sur-145 a prime spot for midday meditation.
Bogota, Colombia
There's no doubt what this outdoor terrace at WeWork Carrera 7 #116-50 was designed for: relaxation. Large bright floor cushions atop the faux grass encourage employees to take a load off. Bonus: The mountains serve as an inspiring backdrop.
Yokohama, Japan
Land meets sea at WeWork Ocean Gate Minatomirai. The terrace's glass perimeter offers an endless view of the blue waters, while eye-level greenery and bench seating add to the calming vibe. It's an impressive place to bring visiting clients.
Austin, Texas

47. The Principles of Denying Oneself and Forsaking the Flesh
1. You must affirm God's words as the truth, and know that only because all of corrupt mankind possess satanic natures do they have arrogance, self-importance and defiance of God;
2. The more something is believed to be impossible and the more it is at odds with people's conceptions and imagination, the more you should seek the truth, deny yourself and obey God;
3. By pursuing the truth you should reach a knowledge of the truth of your own corruption and the essence of your nature, be able to deny yourself and forsake the flesh, and never again believe yourself;
4. You must seek the truth in all things, and abandon your assertions and opinions. Only by forsaking the flesh and practicing the truth can you live out a true human likeness.
Relevant Words of God:
My words are the forever unchanging truth. I am the supply of life for man and the only guide for mankind. The worth and meaning of My words are not determined by whether they are recognized or accepted by mankind, but by the substance of the words themselves. Even if not a single person on this earth can receive My words, the value of My words and their help to mankind are inestimable by any man. Therefore, when faced with the many men who rebel against, refute, or are utterly contemptuous of My words, My stance is only this: Let time and facts be My witness and show that My words are the truth, the way, and the life. Let them show that all I have said is right, and is that which man should be furnished with, and, moreover, that which man should accept.
from "You Ought to Consider Your Deeds" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
God is the source of all that is just, good, and beautiful, while man is he who succeeds to and makes manifest all ugliness and evil. God will never alter His substance of righteousness and beauty, yet man is perfectly capable, at any time and in any situation, of betraying righteousness and straying far from God.
from "It Is Very Important to Understand God's Disposition" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
Man's nature is completely different to My essence; this is because man's corrupt nature entirely originates from Satan and man's nature has been processed and corrupted by Satan. That is, man survives under the influence of its evil and ugliness. Man does not grow up in a world of truth or a holy environment, and moreover does not live in the light. Therefore, it is not possible for the truth to be innately possessed within each person's nature, and moreover they cannot be born with a God-fearing, God-obeying essence. On the contrary, they are possessed of a nature that resists God, disobeys God, and has no love for the truth. This nature is the problem I want to talk about—betrayal. Betrayal is the source of each person's resistance of God. This is a problem that exists only in man and not in Me.
from "A Very Serious Problem: Betrayal (2)" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
If you really have the truth within you, the path you walk will naturally be the correct path. Without the truth, it is easy to do evil and you would not be able to help yourself. For example, if you have arrogance and conceit inside you, it will be impossible to not defy God, but instead you would be made to defy Him. You wouldn't do it on purpose; you would do it under the domination of your arrogant and conceited nature. Your arrogance and conceit would make you look down on God, it would make you see God as being of no account, it would make you exalt yourself, it would make you constantly put yourself on display and finally it would make you sit in God's place and bear witness for yourself. In the end you would make your own ideas, your own thinking and your own conceptions into truths to be worshiped. See how much evil is done by people under the dominance of their arrogant and conceited nature!
from "Only by Seeking the Truth Can You Obtain Changes in Your Disposition" in Records of Christ's Talks
Nevertheless, I must tell you that often the work of God greatly exceeds man's expectations and is difficult for the minds of men to accept. For men are merely maggots upon the earth, while God is the supreme One that fills the universe; the mind of man is akin to a pit of foul water that gives rise only to maggots, whereas each stage of the work directed by the thoughts of God is the distillation of God's wisdom. Man constantly wishes to contend with God, to which I say it is self-evident who will suffer loss in the end.
from "Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
Put aside your view of "impossible"! The more that people believe something is impossible, the more likely it is to occur, for the wisdom of God soars higher than the heavens, God's thoughts are higher than man's thoughts, and the work of God transcends the limits of man's thinking and conception. The more that something is impossible, the more there is the truth to be sought; the more that something is beyond the conception and imagination of man, the more it contains the will of God.
from "The Appearance of God Has Brought a New Age" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
Regardless of whether or not everything God does seems meaningful or appropriate to you, whether it is agreeable to your conceptions, and regardless of whether it makes sense to you or whether it conforms to your imaginations, you must always obey and must have a reverent, submissive heart toward all that God does. After all, isn't practice such as this in conformity with the truth? Isn't it the manifestation and practice of love?
from "Providing the Truth Is the Real Way to Lead Others" in Records of Christ's Talks
The transformation in disposition spoken of in the house of God means that a person, because he loves and can accept the truth, finally comes to know his disobedient and God-resisting nature; he understands that the corruption of man is too deep and understands man's absurdness and deceitfulness. He knows man's poorness and pitifulness, and finally understands man's nature and essence. Knowing all this, he can deny and forsake himself completely, live by God's word, and practice the truth in everything. Such a person knows God and has his disposition transformed.
from "How to Know Man's Nature" in Records of Christ's Talks
If a person's knowledge of himself is too shallow, it will be impossible to solve problems, and his life disposition will absolutely not change. It is necessary to know oneself on a deep level, which means to know one's own nature, and to know what elements are included in one's nature, from where the elements arise and how they come about. Moreover, are you able to really hate these things? Have you seen your own ugly soul and your evil nature? If a person is truly able to see the truth about himself, then he will start to loathe himself. When you loathe yourself and then practice God's word, you will be able to forsake the flesh, and have the strength to carry out truth without difficulty. Why were people formerly able to follow the flesh? Because they considered themselves to be pretty good. They felt right and justified, having no faults, indeed entirely correct. They therefore could act with the assumption that justice was on their side. When one recognizes what his true nature is, how ugly, how despicable, and how pitiful, then he is not too proud of himself, not so wildly arrogant, and not so pleased with himself as he was before. He feels, "I must be earnest and down to earth, and practice some of God's word. If not, I will not measure up to the standard of being human, and will be ashamed to live in God's presence." He truly sees himself as paltry, as truly insignificant. At this time it is easy for him to carry out truth, and he looks more like a human being. Only when a person truly loathes himself is he able to forsake the flesh. If one does not loathe himself, he will be unable to forsake the flesh. Hating oneself comprises a few things: first, knowing one's own nature; second, seeing oneself as needy and pitiful, seeing oneself to be so small and insignificant, and seeing one's own pitiful soul, one's dirty soul. When one fully sees what he truly is and this outcome is achieved, he then really knows himself, and we can say that he has come to know himself fully. Only then can he truly hate himself, going so far as to curse himself, truly feeling that he has been corrupted too deeply by Satan, such that he no longer resembles a human being. Then one day, when the threat of imminent death appears, he feels, "Oh! It's God's righteous punishment. God is indeed righteous. I really should die!" At this point, he will not lodge a complaint, much less blame God, simply feeling that he is too pitiful, too filthy and corrupt, that he should be wiped out by God and a soul like his is not fit to live on earth, and so he will not resist, much less betray, nor will he complain against God.
from "Knowing Oneself Is Mainly Knowing Human Nature" in Records of Christ's Talks
To seek to grow in life you must seek the truth in everything. No matter what issue may arise, you must seek to face it in a way that conforms to the truth, because if you face it in a way that is not entirely pure, then you are going against the truth. Whatever you do, you must always consider its value. You can do those things that have meaning and must not do those things that have no meaning. With regard to things that you can either do or not do, if it can be let go, then let it go. Or if you do these things for some time and should then let them go, then let them go quickly, making a swift decision. This is the principle you should follow when doing anything.
from "Only by Seeking the Truth Can You Obtain Changes in Your Disposition" in Records of Christ's Talks
God was very dissatisfied with something in particular you did. Have you pondered within while doing this thing: "How would this matter be viewed by God if it is brought before Him? Would God be happy or irritated if He knows about this matter? Would God detest it?" You didn't seek it out, did you? Even if others reminded you, you would still think that this matter was no big deal and that it didn't violate principles and that it wasn't a sin. As a result, you ruined it and have provoked God to great anger even to the point of despising you. Think things through so you won't regret them; this is what you must comply with. If you sought and examined the matter thoroughly before acting, then would you not have a handle over the matter? Even though sometimes people's states are not good, if they solemnly inspect and seek everything that needs to be done in God's presence, then there wouldn't be any big mistakes. It is hard for people to avoid mistakes in putting truth into practice. If you know how to do things in accordance with truth when you do them, but you don't carry them out in accordance with truth, then the problem is that you are not fond of truth. A person who is not fond of truth will not be changed in disposition. If you cannot accurately grasp the will of God and don't know how to practice, then you should communicate with others. If no one feels like they can see the matter clearly, then you should carry out the most reasonable solution; but if you ultimately discover that there is an error in carrying it out this way, then you should quickly correct it, and God will not count the error as a sin. Because your intent was right at the time of putting this matter into practice, and you were practicing in accordance with truth, only you didn't see it clearly, and there were some errors in your actions; this is an extenuating circumstance. However, now many people merely rely on their own two hands to work and rely on their own minds to do this and that, and they seldom ponder: Does practicing this way conform to God's will? Would God be happy if I do it this way? Would God trust me if I do it this way? Would I be putting truth into practice if I do it this way? If God hears this, would He be able to say, "This matter is done correctly and suitably. Keep it up"? Are you able to seriously examine everything like this? Are you able to be meticulous in everything? Or are you able to ponder if God despises the way you are doing it, how everyone else feels about the way you are doing it, whether you are doing it based on your own will, or to satisfy your own desires…? You have to put much thought into it, ask many questions, and seek more, and the errors will become smaller and smaller. Doing things this way proves that you are a person who genuinely seeks truth and that you are a person who reveres God, because you are doing things in accordance with the direction required by truth.
… No matter what you are doing, no matter how big the matter is, and regardless of whether you are fulfilling your duty in God's family, or whether it is your private matter, you must consider whether this matter conforms with God's will, whether this matter is something a person with humanity should do, and whether or not what you are doing would make God happy. You need to think about these things. If you practice in this way, then you are a person who seeks the truth and a person who truly believes in God. If you devoutly treat every matter and every truth this way, then you will be able to transform your disposition. Some people think that they are doing something personal, so they ignore the truth, do it as they wish, and do it in whatever way makes them happy, and in whatever way is advantageous to them; they don't give the slightest amount of consideration to how it affects God's family and they don't consider whether or not it is in accordance with the order of the saints. Finally, when they are finished with the matter, they are dark inside and uncomfortable. Is this not a worthy retribution? If you do things that are not approved by God, then you have offended God. If people are not fond of truth, and frequently do things based on their own will, then they will frequently offend God. This kind of person is usually not approved by God in what they do and if they do not repent, then they will not be far from punishment.

My name is Glenn Woods. I grew up on an island off the West Coast of the Everglades, which means moving to Wyoming was a huge change for me. My scenery shifted from sea level and palm trees to high altitude sparse with trees. Join me weekday mornings from 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM on KGAB. I fell in love with talk radio as a boy while listening to Larry King late at night as his words crackled through the radio by my bed. That was before his show went national and back when he was only heard on WIOD on Florida's East Coast. I've worked up and down the East Coast in markets such as Tampa and Orlando, and I was even syndicated for a while. Later, I dropped out of the radio industry for about six years to home-care my father through Alzheimer's. During that time, I authored two published novels and have works of fiction and non-fiction on the way. After my father's passing, I moved out west and rejoined the wild world of radio. Wyoming has been my home for the last decade.

Temple Shir Tikvah is a relaxed community that explores what Judaism has to say about life and tries to put the learning into action. We are a Reform congregation of over 300 member families from Winchester, Arlington, Lexington, Stoneham, Medford, Reading, Cambridge and many other surrounding towns. Our members represent diverse religious backgrounds, practices, beliefs, and family structures. We understand that there's no one way to live Jewishly, and so we engage in an ongoing dialog that helps us build closer connections with each other and with Judaism as each of us understands it over time.
We encourage every member, Jewish or not, to get involved in meaningful ways. Our members are engaged in spiritual exploration, learning of all sorts, social action, music, casual adult social events, family activities, and even summer camping. Our well-respected Religious School of about 175 students spans pre-school through confirmation, and Sunday mornings include plenty of opportunities for parents to study, too.
There's always something happening at Shir Tikvah and you're invited. Sing with us at Friday Shabbat services (We're big on singing.) or come to other events that might help you begin to imagine what being part of this community could mean in your life.

Manchester United were drawn at home to Brighton in an FA Cup quarter-final draw which saw all the big guns avoid each other on Saturday evening.
Jose Mourinho's men learned they would face the Seagulls shortly after sealing their place in the last eight with a 2-0 fifth-round win at Huddersfield thanks to Romelu Lukaku's brace.
Wigan or Manchester City, who meet on Monday night, will host Southampton, while Chelsea visit Leicester and the winners of Sunday's Rochdale-Tottenham tie will travel to Sheffield Wednesday or Swansea.
Chelsea and Leicester advanced on Friday night, with respective 4-0 and 1-0 victories over Hull and Sheffield United.
Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea face a replay after their fifth-round clash at Hillsborough ended goalless on Saturday lunchtime.
The quarter-final ties will be played over the weekend of March 16-19.
Press Association
Last eight
If everything goes with the form book then we should be looking at Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Spurs in the semi-final. The FA Cup is rarely that simple, so we should end up with an upset or two, if we are lucky.
We do get a repeat of the 1983 FA Cup final when Manchester United host Brighton but other than that it looks like it could be a quiet round. Only time will tell, though.
Draw in full
Wigan or Manchester City v Southampton
Leicester v Chelsea
Manchester United v Brighton
Sheffield Wednesday or Swansea City v Rochdale or Spurs
A reminder of the numbers...
1 Sheffield Wednesday or Swansea City
2 Southampton
3 Chelsea
4 Leicester City
5 Manchester United
6 Rochdale or Tottenham Hotspur
7 Brighton
8 Wigan or Manchester City
Let's remind Owen and Given when they were happy and sad playing the FA Cup. Wonderful.
There is plenty more to kebabs than doner, Lawro. Have you never been down the Curry Mile in Manchester? Loads of options for something different. Also, some wonderful Turkish restaurants in north and east London. I will take you for a kebab whenever you want, Lawro.
Just listening to 5Live and Mark Lawrenson has just admitted that he has never eaten a kebab! Surely this needs to be rectified immediately.
Also...why is it being delayed to this point? There are only eight balls, it shouldn't take much time at all.
If anyone has a view as to why the draw is now on a Saturday, I would appreciate it. Some of us are trying to finish work.
A debut goal from Locadia and plenty more from Brighton earlier today, as Nick Ames will tell you in his report.
Will there be a potential Manchester derby on the cards? Here's how United made it through:
As this is not actually The One Show I will have to make up short segments of the programmes, such as Phil Tufnell investigating whether cheese can be used a pencils and Ainsley Harriott on an independent furniture store in Nottingham which has sold four wicker chairs this year.
The numbers!
1 Sheffield Wednesday or Swansea City
2 Southampton
3 Chelsea
4 Leicester City
5 Manchester United
6 Rochdale or Tottenham Hotspur
7 Brighton
8 Wigan or Manchester City
Welcome to The One Show! I will be Gyles Brandreth and we will be forced people to shake hands after each tie is drawn out.
We've gone from having the draw on a Monday night to a Saturday in the hope this is more prime time!
We now know the majority of teams through to the Sixth Round/quarter-final/last-eight stage. It is only Premier League clubs who will definitely play in the next round with Chelsea, Leicester, Southampton, Brighton and Manchester United through. Rochdale, Sheffield Wednesday and Wigan still have some hope of making it at the expense of top-flight teams but we will have to wait on that.
Will the balls be heated so we can get more glamour ties like Leicester v Brighton? Only time will tell.
The glamorous news is that Michael Owen and Shay Given will be drawing the teams.

Six Kiribati seafarers released from Italian prison
The Kiribati Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration says six of the eight seafarers from Kiribati who were detained in Italy for drug-trafficking charges have been acquitted and released by the Court of Appeal of Reggio Calabria last Wednesday.
The six seafarers, Bakitua Kirabuke, Buranibeia Tiaon, Mareweata Karutaake, Teata Kinibura, Ataua Koraubara and Kabwebwenibeia Kakiaman, were assisted by Kiribati's Minister of Environment, Lands and Agricultural Development, Alexander Teabo and his delegation who were in Italy attending a conference.
The six arrived in the country today with the minister and his delegation.
Repatriation costs for them was provided by the Kiribati Government.
The remaining two seafarers, Iotaake Tioti and Teiti Burataake have been sentenced by the Italian court to 6 and 15 years respectively. They will serve their time at the Reggio Calabria prison.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration through the Italian Embassy in Wellington will continue to monitor the status and welfare of the two seafarers.
The eight seafarers were first detained aboard the Hamburg Sud's container ship, 'Rio de Janeiro', on 19 October 2016 during the ship's routine trip to the Italian port of Gioia Tauro from Brazil.
