Open-air restaurants, mamak stalls, heck, even my favourite burger place in Bangsar will probably never be the same again come Jan 1.
If you haven't already heard, the Ministry of Health is issuing a ban on smoking anything with nicotine at all eateries nationwide. It doesn't matter if it's an open-air or indoor eatery with a designated smoking area. The bottom line is, NO SMOKING. That includes cigarettes, cigars, pipes, vape, e-cigarettes and shisha.
Non-smokers may feel like throwing confetti into the air while smokers (as my Facebook newsfeed suggests) are ready to break some chairs over this.
As for me, I lament the loss of an experience so entrenched in Malaysian society. It is a cultural loss!
It will never be the same for the retirees with weathered skin who sit in coffee shops holding a beer in one hand and flicking cigarette ash with the other as they talk politics.
What should they do? Replace the cigarette with a straw, pencil or stylus?
You might suggest, "Maybe stop smoking?"
Never! That's because any discussion about Malaysian politics won't feel the same without nicotine swirling around your system.
And can you imagine the future of mamaks? What is the mamak experience without a smoke (if you're a smoker) or second-hand smoke from the table next to you (if you're a non-smoker) while watching Liverpool crush Manchester United live?
Limau ais will never taste the same again, too.
I don't know if the ban includes pubs and clubs but if they are categorised as eateries by the MOH, then an integral part of clubbing will vanish forever. The next generation will miss out on so much. I kid you not.
As the disco lights flash green, red and blue and you're out on the dance floor flinging your limbs about in a synchronised manner, it's bound to hit you quickly that something is missing. Could it be the choking second-hand smoke that kinda made clubbing a little more fun?
Twenty-something males will have to work harder on their swagger as they will no longer be able to dangle a cigarette on their lips to give off that Marlboro Man vibe.
My smoker friends insist that beer will taste different without a smoke. Don't ask them to explain the science behind that, because it just does.
It seems we are moving towards becoming as sanitised and, might I add, as dull as our neighbour down south. Pubs and clubs in Singapore are smoke-free zones and smokers are only allowed to have a puff in designated areas.
God forbid, we may even start queuing up for every single thing and behave in a totally orderly manner when it comes to public transport.
My smoker friends feel like they are being robbed of their right to smoke their lungs out because the ministry has even said no to smoking areas.
They can understand not being able to smoke around pregnant women and children or in confined spaces, but not even being given a designated space to do so seems like a gross violation of rights.
After all, they argue, people who would make use of a smoking area are adults who are aware of the decision they are making about their health.
Will eateries lose their smoker clientele? Will mamak numbers dwindle? Will clubs lose some of their character?
"I guess I'll just switch to e-cigarettes that contain only highly addictive nicotine and no other added chemicals. I'll have my puff in the toilet since it's just water vapour and won't set off the fire alarm," a friend tells me rather forlornly.
Well, we'll see how effective enforcing the ban will be come Jan 1.

I find that irritating.
First of all, they didn't write it and you can't acquire rights to works in the public domain. Some claim to have come across this dusty volume in antique stores. Whatever. Bottom line is that this work is available for free, at least some of it. As a public service to those who don't have quite the level of inner geek I've been cursed with, here are some links:
First from the book The Horse Whisperer we've got John Solomon Rarey, the original guy who lay down horses:
There was a man from Groveport, Ohio called John Solomon Rarey, who tamed his first horse at the age of twelve. Word of his gift spread and in 1858 he was summoned to Windsor Castle in England to calm a horse of Queen Victoria. The queen and her entourage watched astonished as Rarey put his hands on the animal and laid it down on the ground before them. Then he lay down beside it and rested his head on its hooves.
At this link you can page through his entire book online. Or I've got it as a pdf too, just email me and I'll send it to you. For FREE.
Then there's Professor Jesse Beery, which is available on a CD from a historical preservation site for $21. You can buy it for much more here. Here's some info from historical preservation.com
Prof. Jesse Beery self-published a Mail Course, an Eight part series in the Instruction of Horsemanship.
Born in 1861 in Pleasant Hill, Ohio, Jesse assisted his father on the family farm, paying special attention to the animals. He had a special gift with horses and developed methods for training and controlling horses. Starting in 1889 at the age of 28 years old (also the same year he got married), Jesse Beery traveled all over teaching others these methods. After his father died in 1905, Jesse returned to the family farm in Pleasant Hill, Ohio and established his School of Correspondence in Horsemanship.
Here's the hype from the other site.
"They LAUGHED At This 100 Year Old
Horse Training Course
- But When They Saw The Results....!"
Horse Training Course
- But When They Saw The Results....!"
...they understood they could successfully train their horses
to stop dozens of bad habits and take complete control,
enjoy riding and working safely with their horses,
without fear or embarrassment.

Yes. And you can get it for $21 instead of $67. Anyway, I'm going to order the CD for my collection. Once I get it, I'll make it available for free.
I don't begrudge folks making a living by training horses. But this is reselling yesterday's newspapers. Of course for all I know they've added all kinds of new stuff (like color pictures!) and I'm barking up the wrong tree. But I'm not buying one to find out...

Re: MCA Tributes
V Exclusive! D.M.C. Praises The Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch aka MCA
Posted May 4, 2012
D.M.C., legendary emcee and member of the iconic hip-hop group Run-D.M.C., offers his memories of fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and late Beastie Boys great Adam MCA Yauch. --Keith Murphy
When we first met MCA and the Beastie Boys back in the early 80s it was almost like we were in a movie. These guys were outrageous, spontaneous, funny, loud, confident they were so real. We thought MCA, Ad-Rock, and Mike D were some of the coolest cats on the face of the earth. It was just their energy. The Beasties didnt care. They would dress up in the sweat suits [laughs]. They had the whole rebellious thing of, We are who we are. It was the same feeling that hip-hop had. MCA and them wanted to be unique. It was like that for all of us, including Run-D.M.C. We wanted to standout; we wanted to have fun. And although the Beasties were punk rock, they were still able to be hip-hop. They weren't white rappers trying to be black. They weren't rapping about Cadillacs and 40 ounces. They didnt where the fat gold chains and the Godfather hats like Run-D.M.C. and Jam Master Jay did. We thought we were crazy, but MCA and those guys were crazy with their sneakers, their leather jackets, their Budweiser beer and all the stuff they did. Real recognizes real.
The Beastie Boys were giving the same feeling of hip-hop, but with a different expression. And MCA was an important part of that. His voice was incredible. It was deep, rugged, it was powerful and it demanded authority. MCAs voice was like the flipside to Chuck Ds voice! When you listened to a Beastie Boys record, he made you say, Who is this guy? Because Ad-Rock and Mike D had great voices, too. But they had a crazy twang and higher pitch to their sound. MCAs voice was the father figure of the group. When you listen to the Beasties, MCAs voice basically told everybody, Yall can think we are a joke all you want, but we are real with what we do.
I remember touring with MCA and the Beasties on Run-D.M.C.s Raising Hell Tour and the one we co-headlined with them, The Together Forever tour. There is one story about MCA that I always mention. I remember we were touring in Europe and the stage had gotten really wet because they were throwing beer around all over the place. So we are on the side watching the Beastie Boys show thinking, Yo, somebody is going to bust their ass tonight. Sure enough, MCA slipped and flew about 20 feet in the air [laughs]. He came down real hard. We all thought he was severely hurt. We were like, Yo, call the ambulance! But this motherfucka just gets up and keeps rapping! We were shocked. Thats the type of performer MCA was.
What is MCAs legacy? Its the legacy of the Beastie Boys. MCA is from a legendary group that helped change music. You cant talk about Eminem without talking about the Beasties first. The Beastie Boys made it possible for not just Eminem to have the courage to do hip-hop, he also made it possible for Vanilla Ice, 3rd Bass, and for any white guy to pick up the mic and be accepted. They are true pioneers. And not just white rappers black rappers should bow down to them. Because the Beastie Boys accomplished so much for the entire hip-hop culture. These rappers nowadays cant even approach what they did. They will never do what the Beastie Boys did. They changed the world. Run-D.M.C. will always be connected with them. We traveled the world together. We laughed together, we slept in the same rooms together, we cried together, we got drunk together we changed history together.
Its a sad day for music, a sad day for MCAs family and friends, and a sad day for hip-hop. But its all good because at least we got some Beastie Boys records we can go listen to tomorrow.As told to Keith Murphy (@murphdogg29)

London - South Africa stand-in captain Dean Elgar thought his side let themselves down as they fell to a big defeat against England in the first Test at Lord's on Sunday.
The Proteas fell to a heavy 211-run loss at the Home of Cricket to go 1-0 down on the four-match series, but it will be the manner of defeat that will be concerning for the visitors.
Chasing a target of 331 with more than four sessions of the game still left, South Africa collapsed to 119 all out on the fourth day to give the hosts the perfect start to the series.
The batting effort from the Proteas pales in comparison with the work done by the bowlers in the morning session as they fought their way back into the game by seven wickets before lunch.
Elgar, who will give the captaincy duties back to Faf du Plessis for the second Test, said: "Going into lunch with eight down, I really thought we'd given ourselves the best opportunity.
"I think that's why it's (so) disappointing to be sitting here after things capitulated as they did."
The opening batsman also lamented the team's missed chances in the field, the Proteas dropping crucial catches and took wickets with no-balls to let England off the hook.
Elgar though said this was not the time to feel sorry themselves as they have work to do before the second Test which starts at Trent Bridge on Friday.
The left-hander continued: "I do think in Test cricket, particularly, you have to make your own luck.
"We haven't been kind to ourselves the last four days, small things, but they impacted the Test in quite a big way - dropped catches, non-negotiable no-balls, they would definitely have made life easier as a captain.
"(But) we need to take it on the chin and crack on. These are the punches you have to take - you have to get up tomorrow morning with a smile on your face and know there is a Test in four days, and you have to start again."

My life has changed completely since I started using Young Living products!
A couple of years ago I had a serious injury from a sneaker wave and had many months of working with my chiropractor and therapeutic massage therapist to gain healing. They both helped so much but it was when I started using YL that my healing became complete! The support to my body systems is real and true.

"Do Dates" was the funniest blog ever!
We like your text but we love your videos. You shatter nasty myths about Jews with a disarming grace.
David at http://www.KosherTube.com
Every video just gets better and better…so i guess my latest favorite is on Drrrty Jewish women…
Thanks, David. But which one? Which video would you stick in a Best of list?
Loved the "hole in the sheet" one because it was amusing. And the nidda one was great explanation!
Ruthie : March 19, 2009 at 7:03 pm
My favorite video was the one about covering your hair. Funny with a great message, like all your vidoes and posts.
Dale : March 23, 2009 at 8:29 pm
All of your blog post's are wonderful. Kosher diet has spoken to me the most. Really I do feel much better and healthier now that I've become religiously kosher.
Must tell you- I found your blog by accident, and love it to pieces!
Which post? Well, I really liked your video on why women cover their hair.
I will also add in that the video on Kashrut was really helpful for my husband. In fact, he really enjoys all your videos because you explain so eloquently the concept of Jewish tradition (and he isn't Jewish).
thanks to everyone who commented so far, but at this rate the list is going to be all videos – any posts from the blog or Q&A that you want to see in the "Best of" list?

Many of our decisions fall apart at the point of wavering commitment and consistency. Believe it or not, people count on our lack of commitment, deciding that if they can just ride out what's going on right now, before too long, things will blow over and whatever the earlier decision was would be no more.
There are matters that are presenting themselves in these days that we find ourselves living that require commitment and a consistent voice. Anything less, diminishes its importance. We must perfect our ability to make a decision that is based on fact and then commit our time, our voice and our resources in fighting for what we believe to be right even when it becomes inconvenient.
1 Corinthians 15-58 offers a valuable recommendation, "Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
It's not possible to make a difference if we stop talking about matters, because they no longer are the first story on the news. It's not possible to change laws or behaviors if we are easily moved out of our position, or waver in our thinking because someone else differs in theirs.
Our country was built on people that would not take No for an answer, trusting and believing for a better day. Their faith allowed them to know that there was better to be had. Our faith must also serve as a platform for what we know to be true.
Generations must be assured of what is right and acceptable and what is not. Even how we treat each other in our actions and our speech must be reviewed for changes. What we allow starts with us and we cannot forget that. What is our standard that is obvious for all to see?
How can you make a positive difference? We all should ask ourselves that question. Everyone working together toward the positive good of us all is what is needed. Encouraging peace, knowledge, and love is a good starting point.

Investigating the Participation of Kinesin4IIs and Kinesin7Is in Chloroplast Motility Using RNA Interference
Faculty Advisor
Buckholt, Michael Allan
Faculty Advisor
Vidali, Luis
The mechanism of chloroplast motility in response to light is not yet completely understood. We are testing the hypothesis that the motor proteins kinesin-4IIs and kinesin-7Is transport chloroplasts on microtubules in Physcomitrella patens (P.patens) cells. We are using RNA interference (RNAi) to test their function based on knockdown expression. RNAi constructs were designed and are being assembled to target both kinesin sub-families. Initial results show that Kinesin-7Is RNAi gives a chloroplast dispersion phenotype indicating that it might be involved in chloroplast motility. The effects of Kinesin-4IIs knockdown are still under investigation.

I have this 'thing' about loyalty. Always have. That one should be as loyal as possible to matters of the heart. To those pieces that construct our being. That Love, Friendship and Loyalty are not only the reminders on my ring finger, the icon of my homeland, but also 3 words I hold to a higher level.
I believe love can be wishy washy but also one of the truest forms of emotion.
That friendship, at this age, can be categorized in a vast amount of ways. More often than not, as family vs. acquaintances.
But that loyalty is simply that, being loyal.
I've come to realize, over the last few years, that loyalty separates the men from the boys. That as we grow, we learn more about ourselves if we commit to that cause. That unwavering study of who we are as individuals. Who we strive to be, and be around. And that while there may be billions of people in this world, your person matters.
Look out into the depths of the scenery around you, take a deep breath, and discover. Find out what you're loyal to. Who you are loyal to. And move that all down, one rung, on the ladder of life. The person you should be most loyal to, is you. Everything else will beautifully fall into their place.

Megger MIT420/2 CAT IV Insulation Resistance Tester
The Megger MIT420/2 Insulation Tester (1004-739) can be used for a wide range of testing applications including avionic system tests, military (land, marine and air communications), production line, electrostatic measurements and electronic component testing amongst many other areas.
Featuring insulation resistance output voltages of 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000V, providing measurements up to 200GΩ, the Megger MIT410/2 also features a variable range that allows the exact test voltage to be selected from between 10V and 1000V that is accurate to -0% +2%. The instrument can be used to carry out polarisation index (PI) and dielectric absorption ratio (DAR) diagnostic tests.
The Megger MIT 420/2 can be used as a low resistance ohm-meter to measure resistance across a range of 0.01 to 999kΩ, with an auto-null allowing a resistance of up to 10Ω to be zeroed prior to testing. Furthermore, the Megger MIT 420/2 insulation tester features a bi-directional test current that will reverse polarity of the test without having to switch test leads. The MIT 420/2 can also measure capacitance (electrical charge) between 0.1 nF and 10 μF.
All models within the MIT4XX/2 range offer a live circuit detection, that prevents measurements from being conducted on live circuits, protecting the instrument and user from potential danger.
The Megger MIT420/2 features an internal memory capable of storing up to 1000 records. These test measurements can be re-called at a later date making this an ideal instrument for diagnosing, repairing and checking faulty electrical systems.
Sealed to IP54, providing a weatherproof case to reduce the chances of water ingress, including the battery and fuse compartment. Rubber over-moulding combines a shock absorbing outer layer with excellent grip
The Megger MIT4XX/2 models officially replace the special application insulation testers that were the MIT400, MIT410, MIT420 and MIT430. The main benefits of the new series include:
- Over voltage limit of 2% - rather than the industry standard of 10-20%; ultimately reducing the chance of damage to circuits and components;
- Variable test range (MIT420/2 and MIT430/2 only) – an exact and stable test voltage can be selected from between 10V and 1000V.
- New redesigned carry case, back stand and 6 cell battery compartment with separate access to user-serviceable fuses.
Supplied with red and black silicone test leads (with probes and clips), SP5 switch probe for remote testing, owners information CD, 6 x AA batteries and a hard carry case.
Megger MIT420/2 key features:
- Over voltage limit of 2%
- 50V, 100V, 250V, 500V or 1000V insulation resistance test voltages
- Variable output voltage between 10V and 1000V

Delfino's Restaurant was first founded by a Dutch man called Hank and has been established since 1985 when he created his very own house special dish, the pepper steak. Many long-standing customers still have fond memories of Hank, and the current head chef is the daughter of the original cook.
The unique pepper steak with the secret ingredients of the sauce is a must to try and this dish alone accounts for 70 per cent of the sales at Delfino's.
For Sunday lunch there is also a choice of roast beef, pork, honey roast ham, and breast of turkey that are all slowly cooked for 16 hours to ensure that the flavour is completely marinated into the tender cuts. All these meats are served with Yorkshires, pigs in blankets, a choice of six veggies and stuffing.
Delfino's has become ever popular both with local people and visitors so it is advisable to book, especially for the Sunday Carvery.
Monday's Special is smoked haddock fillets in butter sauce with creamy mash and garden peas. On Tuesdays bangers and mash including real Cumberland sausages, Wednesday liver and bacon, and on Thursdays the delicious home-made chicken, ham and leek pie. Every Friday is extremely popular with every one's favourite, market fresh cod, chunky chips and marrowfat peas using only the best fish and crispy beer batter. Delfino's are said to be serving the best fish and chips in Mallorca, so well worth a visit .
You can watch the world go by while you dine al fresco on any two of the large sunny terraces. By night this transforms into a pretty evening venue.
There is a full takeaway menu and a separate bar area equipped with TV.
For reservations please call 971 676 449 or 639 601 410.

Directional subwoofers are one more tool that can be used by sound system designers in their quest to achieve consistent sound throughout the intended listening area.
When using traditional, more or less omni-directional bass reflex (a.k.a., "vented," "ported," or "front-loaded") subs arranged left and right of a stage, there is a build-up or "power alley" created in the center, where the energy from each source location shows up at the same time, with no phase difference, and sums quite nicely.
Moving left and right off of the center line, this area of addition is followed by alleys of cancellation.
Wavelengths of 40 to 100 Hz are roughly 11 to 23 feet long. At any frequency in this range, as you move away from the center line and change the path length difference between the two sources by half a wavelength (about 5.5 to 11.5 feet) there will be a cancellation, with higher frequency "nulls" encountered first.
To alleviate this there are three methods that have been employed: line arrays of subs, end-fired sub arrays, and cardioid subs, which are sometimes combined.
Line Arrays
Lines of subwoofers are one application of what Harry Olson discussed in the 1957 text Harry F. Olson, Acoustical Engineering, when he described a straight line source; using omni-directional elements, in a line, all reproducing the same signal, with relative close spacing compared to the wavelength, pattern control can be achieved.
Imagine a row of subs is assembled across the front of a stage. If it's longer than the wavelength of the lowest frequency for which pattern control is desired (25 Hz is about 45 feet) and if the elements are close enough to one another, within two-thirds of a wavelength of the highest frequency produced (100 Hz is about 11 feet, so 2/3 is about 7 feet), cancellation at the ends of the line and addition in front of the array (and behind the array!) will be achieved.
Observed from the audience area, from one end of the line to the other, enough of the energy from each of the elements of the array arrives within +/- 120 degrees, at about the same level and sums.
Observed from the end of the array, enough energy from each of the elements arrives enough out of time but at similar enough level, causing destructive interference and level loss.
The use of a line array (yep, that's what it is) of subwoofers can avoid horizontal differences in frequency response and deliver more energy to the audience area, while avoiding those nasty side wall reflections at lower frequencies.
Further, maximizing spacing can reduce the level differences from the front to back. In the interest of making sound where the audience is and not making noise where they are not, this is one option.

After living and spending time in both Central and Eastern Europe, I decided to switch it up and head to Western Europe last weekend into Barcelona's warm embrace. With me living in Budapest right now, it was only fitting for me to jet set off to another major city with the same beginning consonant. Not to mention, my favorite musician, George Ezra, has two songs called "Budapest" and "Barcelona," respectively. Now having visited these two metropolises, here are the differences I observed.
The origins of Barcelona is still unclear. Legend says that the Mediterranean metropolis was founded by the mythical hero, Hercules, while another legend claims that the city was erected by military commander and father of Hannibal. Budapest, on the other hand,has a much more distinguished history in which it was established by the Romans over 2,000 years ago.
Geography & Climate
Both Budapest and Barcelona are divided by rivers. The Danube river splits Budapest into the respective hilly Buda and the flat Pest. Barcelona is right in the middle of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs. During the fall, the weather in Budapest is mostly gloomy with a temperature of around more or less 45 degrees. The weekend that I left Budapest, it was raining and cold so imagine my excitement when I arrived in Barcelona to sunny skies and warm sunshine of 73 degrees! It made me feel like I was back home in Southern California.
Southern California is known for its amazing beaches, but I have to say that the La Barceloneta beach is a great contender. At the beach, my friends and I embraced the Spanish culture and "siesta-ed", which is when most locals close shop after the lunch to relax and nap for a few hours mid-afternoon. I can definitely get used to that!
While Barcelona does have one of the best urban beaches in the world, Budapest is known as being the 'City of Baths'. These thermal baths were left behind by the Turks and the spring water is said to possess healing qualities. Some of the best Budapest baths include Szechényi, Gellért and Király.
Popular Hungarian dishes include goulash soup and chicken paprikash. Paprika is HUGE here so make sure to try out this spice when you visit! My favorite Hungarian dish happens to be meat pancakes, hortobagyi palascinta. The favorite drink of choice here is palinka, a fruity type of liquor.
In Barcelona, I made it my life mission to consume as many tapas and as much paella as I possibly could! I wish I could eat patatas bravas (spicy potatoes) and Spanish potato omelettes for the rest of my life. An important message: try churros dipped in chocolate (it will blow your mind and tastebuds)! Also, sangria goes great with every meal.
Everyone knows that football is the biggest sport in Europe and FC Barcelona is arguably the best football team there is. I visited the FC Barcelona Camp Nou stadium and it was the highlight of my trip. I got to see all the memorabilia and trophies at the museum and we were allowed to even peruse through the players' locker rooms (there is a jacuzzi in there). We also got to go onto the field and amass how huge the venue was. I wish I was able to attend a game here as I cannot even begin to imagine the deafening sounds and screams. Although I am not from Barcelona, I felt an overwhelming sense of admiration and pride for the team. Lionel Messi is a legend!
Although Hungary's football team is not as notable as Spain's, Hungary excels at water polo. The Hungarian men's water polo team is the best in history. They have 15 Olympic medals! My friend flew back to Budapest from Munich and she sat next to the team on the flight. According to her, they really like sandwiches and are a bunch of nice guys!
Architecture & Places of Interest
A difference between America and Europe is architecture. Europe's architecture and buildings have been around for a long time and are so full of history and culture. The beautiful buildings in Budapest have Roman, Turkish, Baroque, and Gothic styles. Barcelona's architecture is Gothic with a Modernist flair. The most famous architect in all Barcelona is Antoni Gaudi and his works include: Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, and Casa Batllo, to name a few.
Make sure to visit and ogle the architecture of these buildings/landmarks:
Budapest: Hungarian Parliament Building, St. Stephen's Basilica, Matthias Church, Museum of Applied Arts, Buda Castle
Barcelona: Sagrada Familia Basilica, Parc Guell, Barcelona Cathedral, Casa Batllo, Montjuic Castle
Whether you choose to visit Budapest, Barcelona, or even both, I assure you that it will be the best of times!

the as if conundrum.
As a five year old, I was overexposed to late nineties romantic teen comedies and desperately wanted to be a sixteen year old girl with a car, a boyfriend, and a computer operated closet. Now that I've been sixteen for three weeks, I just want to be my five year old self who had the confidence to wear leopard pants and didn't have an abundance of homework stopping me from watching late nineties romantic teen comedies all day.I still find this to be the most technologically advanced thing ever.

text: Because the AH-1 Cobra was designated under the already fairly prolific H-1 Huey series, the designations of all the various subtypes is something of a mess, meaning that an AH-1F is actually a later variant than the AH-1S. And I have no idea where the AH-1E fits in. Still, for the most part, this is what the later model Cobras in Army service were equipped with, and it's an interesting look at the armament system. In particular, the Rocket Management System is quite a bit more sophisticated than I would have thought.

A Chinese pro baseball umpire took a foul ball below the belt, and his reaction says it all.
We've seen some pretty rough shots below the belt, but this bouncing ball careened back and up, leaving this umpire red in the face and in a good amount of pain.
After roughly two minutes in the dirt, he finally made it to his feet and exited the playing field.

Monday, April 23 is the World Book Day. What is this day for? According to the webpage of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), "23 April was first proclaimed as World Book and Copyright Day by UNESCO in 1995. A growing number of partners celebrates the Day and since its launch has shown itself to be a great opportunity for reflection and information on a significant theme."
From April 23 to April 24, there were 4,300 posts on Tweeter in the US. It is funny to see the peak was at 2 pm on April 23. Maybe people feel more relax during the afternoon tea time and are more willing to share their experiences with books.
When we look at the word cloud made by the Social Studio, it is interesting that many people mentioned "Amazon" in their tweets. As we all know, Amazon has been one ofthe largest booksellers, and individuals can sell their books on Amazon as well. So when we get closer to see the posts, we can find some book promotion of sale information.
In terms of the sentiment analysis, it is not surprisingly a majority of posts is positive. However, we are still curious about how were those 6.9% negative posts. When we dig into the negative ones, we find that most of these posts are still positive, for example, one user mentioned that she lost all of her Harry Potter collection during the Hurricane Harvey, then she got a new set of Harry Potter series as a gift for her Birthday and the World Book Day. Why was this post categorized as a negative post? It may due to some negative words, such as "lost." So next time when you use the Social Studio, be careful when examining the sentiment analysis result.

In conjunction with today's @theCoffeeklatch about what to do when your SN child has typical issues, I am reposting some past blogs.
By now it is well established that highschoolboy is having a difficult academic year in chemistry. Lucky for him he has some very understanding and helpful teachers. In fact the chemistry teacher had offered to come in early the other day to help him with the chemistry math homework. Of course, instead of jumping at the chance, highschoolboy in his very aspie sort of way responded, "I'll consider it." Well I heard of this conversation around 9pm that evening and promptly told him to email the teacher that he would be in her classroom the following morning like he was offered.
Hubby then took highschoolboy as he usually does once a week out to breakfast and got him to school in time for his extra-help session. Unfortunately the teacher does not read emails at night and did not show up at the appointed hour. OK, a lesson for highschoolboy. When the teacher offers you something out of the ordinary say "yes" immediately and set up a time and place. But highschoolboy being highschoolboy decided that the fact that she didn't show up had nothing to do with him.
Well off to his day he goes. He mistakenly went to gym instead of acting, but in a very mature way when he realized he was in the wrong place, without even bothering to change back into street clothes he just picked himself up and ran over to the correct class. Luckily they were in building right next to each other. The acting teacher understood and the day proceeded just fine from there until he got to chemistry.
Now if you remember anything about highschoolboy you might remember that he tends to not let things go very well. When he is annoyed about something, he holds onto the annoyance like it was soddered to him as an appendage. It's the obsessive compulsive part of his personality. In fact he will gladly regale you with information all about his OCD. Yes, it is just one more issue that he is working on in therapy. I think I am going to make a therapy list and as each issue is tackled I will cross it off and when the last one is taken care of we will have a party, but I digress.
Anyway, highschoolboy is now in chemistry. Everything is fine. He didn't say a word to the teacher or to any other adult in the room. He sat down and took out his notebook and homework just like he was supposed to. The teacher then asked the class if anyone could tell her what a "fractal mole"was. Highschoolboy raised his hand and she called on him. "Well I know that a mole is an animal that can read its emails," he responded.
Now we heard this story told in a very nonchalant way over dinner. Highschoolboy said it so matter a factly that it was as if he was recounting a visit to the local Target. I just couldn't contain myself and started to laugh. I saw hubby start to laugh however, he was able to pull himself together but I could not. I quickly picked myself up and out of the room. I then heard collegeman try to explain to his brother that personal questions and problems are only to be talked about before or after class (At least I knew he had been listening to the aide in college). I then tried to go back into the diningroom in order to continue the parental discussion on how this was so not appropriate. But the minute I saw the three of them I burst out laughing. I quickly ran back into the other room. But by this time it just wasn't a simple little laugh. It was now a full blown, tear-streaming, high pitched cackling laugh that takes all of your energy so you end up sitting on the floor because you just can't stand you are laughing so hard, kind of laugh.
Than as I tried to calm down yet again, I hear hubby trying his best to emphasize to highschoolboy how what happened was not good. "Despite mom's hysterical laughter, this was not a good thing.." at that point my laughter got even worse. Collegeman chimed in and congratulated highschoolboy on accomplishing something he never could, and that was to get me to laugh my ass off. I tell you I must have laughed for at least 30 minutes. In fact, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep because everytime I started to drift off I kept thinking of what happened in the chemistry class. Do you know what it's like to be laughing so hard at three in the morning that it prevents you from falling asleep?
So what is the point of this story. Just that sometimes your children in their aspie innocence will do something so not appropriate that it is just too funny. No, I should not have laughed, and definitely not laughed so long and so hard, but I couldn't help myself. Lord help me, it was the funniest thing I had heard in such a longtime. He was so annoyed at the teacher and told her so in his nonchalant very sarcastic way right in front of the entire class. The truth of the matter is I would have loved to see the faces of the adults in that classroom at the moment that those words came out of his mouth. I am sure they had no idea what to do. I had known there was an issue in chemistry that day because highschoolboy's case manager called and told me there had been a problem but that it had been resolved. I figured he had been crying because of a bad grade, I had no idea he had been just so teenage obnoxious.
So after all these years and all these tribulations highschoolboy can still surprise me. I guess that's a good thing. If I had him completely figured out then he wouldn't be growing as a person. But I had better be on my toes. Something tells me that highschoolboy is going to redefine teenagehood for his highschool. I do have to figure out how to see it coming though. I'll let you know what I come up with. Wish me luck.
Oh by the way, he met with the chemistry teacher for extra help this morning before school. Told you, really understanding teachers!
Until next time,

New short videos on Piedmont prairies ready to share
by Rua Mordecai, Coordinator, Southeast and South Atlantic Conservation Blueprints
Did you know that uplands in the Piedmont aren't supposed to be the thick forests we see today? Many people don't realize that before European arrival, Piedmont uplands were mostly grasslands maintained by regular fire and grazing by bison and elk. As part of the Piedmont Prairie Partnership, Rua has been working on some short videos to help tell the story of prairies in the Piedmont and the work that's underway to bring them back. To watch the 5- or 11-minute version of the video, >>visit Rua's blog...

This week, we want to report on two events that happened this month in Columbus. Both focused on workers from a different perspective.
On May 2 CALMC held our regular membership meeting. Our audience of management leaders, union officials and members, neutrals, and other interested people enjoyed breakfast and networking with each other, along with the opportunity to hear a presentation on difficulty in finding skilled employees in Central Ohio. Cheryl Hay, the Director of Workforce Development for JobsOhio, described some of the ways they are helping new and existing employers find the kind of workers they need. JobsOhio is a not-for-profit organization established by Governor Kasich to replace to role originally played by the Department of Development in recruiting new employers to Ohio.
Cheryl began by contrasting the ways employees used to find jobs with the process in use today. Employers who previously advertised in newspapers or relied on word-of-mouth today need to be more actively involved in the recruitment process. This includes the reliance on technology to find workers.
Cheryl mentioned some of the methods being used by JobsOhio to get the most from the use of information systems in finding employees. She mentioned the use of social media, noting the type of job determined which platforms worked best. For example, if candidates are needed for jobs involving coding, Twitter is the best way to reach them. On the other hand, some management positions are best filled using LinkedIn, while other positions can be found with Facebook.
Other issues required a more complex process. Combatting the "brain drain" issues of educated college graduates leaving Ohio has proven to be a challenge.JobsOhio is exploring ways to not only keep recent graduates from leaving the state, but also encouraging former Ohio residents to return to the state.
Cheryl also discussed to need to begin the recruitment process for some jobs in high schools. They have been encouraging school districts to publicize the needs of new employers in their regions, urging students to build their skills in the areas needed. They also use apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs to build necessary skills for new employees.
A couple of weeks ago we reported on the difficulty employers have getting new employees in this time of low unemployment. In this presentation we heard of proactive methods available to employers in Ohio that help attract new employers to the state.
The other event was the rededication of the Workers' Memorial in Columbus. Located in Riverfront Park in downtown Columbus, the memorial remembers workers who lost their lives at work and union leaders who recently passed away.
This year, the ceremony recognized four individuals, including Billy Boyce, former Sub-District Director of the United Steelworkers and member of the CALMC Board of Trustees. Speakers included Theo James, President of the Central Ohio Labor Council, AFL-CIO, Walt Workman, Executive Director of the Labor Council, Dr. Ned Pettus, Jr., City of Columbus Safety Director, and Michael Stinziano, member of the Columbus City Council. Each highlighted the importance of safe workplaces and the hope that next year there would be no names to add to the wall.
It was great to see the number of union members, public officials, and others who gathered to pay their respects to those we have lost. It was a moving ceremony in a beautiful setting. We hope you will have an opportunity to visit the Memorial.

The Buchmann Galerie is pleased to announce a presentation of Trashstone sculptures by Wilhelm Mundt (*1959 in Grevenbroich, Germany) for this year's art berlin contemporary.
Trashstones, is a group of works begun in 1989, in which production waste from the studio is compressed manually and covered in a multi-layered shell of fibre-glass and coloured synthetic resin (GRP). From the very outset the artist meticulously numbered each piece with a sequential triple-digit number. Thus, each Trashstone is part of a consecutive series, conjuring up visions of serial production processes. The group of works, which now comprises more than 600 individual pieces, is testimony to the artist's consistent will to explore forms and colours, which makes each Trashstone a unique, one-of-a-kind item.
At the centre of our presentation at the abc, weighing in at almost one ton, is the overwhelming Trashstone 532. Its fluorescent salmon pink exterior and enormous physical presence makes an impressive eye-catcher. Trashstone 532 is one of the largest sculptures Wilhelm Mundt has created to date.
Works by Wilhelm Mundt were recently exhibited at the Kunstmuseum Bonn, the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, Remagen, the Lehmbruck Museum, Duisburg, the Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf and K20 Grabbeplatz, Düsseldorf. His works feature among others in the collection of the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, the Margulies Collection Miami, the Lehmbruck Museum Duisburg, the University of Bayreuth, MunichRE, BNP Paribas, the Skulpturenpark Waldfrieden in Wuppertal and the Vestas Aarhus.

No. In order to protect all our members, guest payments and ensure owners are properly compensated for damages that may occur during a reservation, all security deposits are to be handled on the Wheel Estate site. All off-site payments—including security deposits—are a violation of our terms.
When you book a trailer, the trailer owner may make a claim for any damages that occur during your reservation. Owners have 48 hours from the trailer drop-off date to make a claim on the security deposit.
Here's what to expect if the trailer owner makes a claim:
In any case, we'll make sure you and the trailer owner are represented fairly and gather any details and documentation needed to reach a resolution. Most security deposit claims will be resolved within one week.
Communication through email is required in order to collect needed documentation from the owner, which will include photos and/or video along with receipts, invoices, written estimates, or links to comparable items denoting actual cash value for repair or replacement. If we determine money is owed based on documentation and communication from both parties, we will move forward with collecting from the deposit. We reserve the right to collect payment from you using the payment details we have on file.
Security deposits help cover minor accidents that occur during a reservation, like spilt liquid on upholstery, or a broken window. Wheel Estate automatically adds a $1000 security deposit to each trailer listing. Security deposits can not be handled off-site in cash, as off-site payments are a violation of our terms.
When a reservation is accepted, the security deposit and guest's payment information is held with our trusted payment gateway service provider. An owner has 48 hours after the trailer drop-off date to make a claim on the security deposit. Payment for the total amount of the reservation and security deposit is due in full at time of booking.Guests are automatically refunded the security depost after 48hrs have passed without a claim. Guests can expect to see the funds returned to their card 3 to 5 business days later.
If an owner makes a claim on the security deposit, we mediate and collect payment from the guest, as necessary.
After a reservation is made, you can verify the amount of the security deposit on your receipt/itinerary.
Resolutions let you request a refund for an Wheel Estate trip. When you contact Wheel Estate about a dispute our support team will help you to come to an agreement with the trailer owner or guest, Wheel Estate can confirm the amount and easily process the payment or refund on your behalf.
Direct communication is the key to a quick resolution. This is why we try to help guests and owners if an issue arises.
What we can help you with:
If you have tried to work out the issue with the other member but if you're having trouble reaching an agreement, you have the option to involve Wheel Estate.
When to Involve Wheel Estate
Please keep in mind that when you choose to Involve Wheel Estate, you agree to accept the decision that we reach, and understand that all decisions are final.
If you have tried to work things out with the owner or guest and still aren't further ahead, you have options. Contact us to help you resolve an issue with another member, and we will help you reach an agreement with the trailer owner or guest.
When you choose to Involve Wheel Estate, our resolution team will be notified and a dedicated team member will be assigned to your case. They'll review the information provided by you and the trailer owner or guest, before making a final decision. Their decision will be based on our policies and the documentation provided by you and the trailer owner or guest. In some cases, we may need to contact you to gather additional information, before we can make a decision.
While we are always happy to help, it may take more time to reach a solution when Wheel Estate is asked to intervene. Because of this, we recommend only choosing to Involve Wheel Estate if you're unable to work things out with the trailer owner or guest directly.
It's also important to keep in mind that Wheel Estate's decision may not align with the solution you were hoping for. By asking to involve Wheel Estate you are agreeing to accept the final decision that we reach.
Once a decision is made, we will be able to process the refund or payment on your behalf.

Do you find yourself in any of those thoughts when creating applications with NodeJS?
- "I for sure need to pick the right npm module to solve this problem, but which one fits best and is getting supported well?"
- "Uh, my app is growing so big, I have no idea what the difference between
customeris anymore and which properties they have."
- "TypeScript will definitely solve my problems!"
- "Is this all what I will do for the rest of my career?"
Creating JavaScript applications is easy at first but it's getting harder and harder once the application grows. You can wait and hope that any of the big tech companies will solve your problems through TypeScript and other tools. A few years go by and you ask yourself: Is this all? Do I create CRUD application for the next 20 years?
It is sometimes harder to keep up with the latest hype train then actually learning fundamentals.
NodeJS became a victim of its own success. The market is flooded with developers, every company is using Node in some part of their tech stack. You can say that companies don 't pick it because of it's underlying technology but because they can get cheap labor and feel safe because all the other companies are also using Node, so it must be a good choice.
Meet Rust
You probably know the saying that you should learn Lisp, even if you won't use it, just because the learned mindset will make you a better developer? Instead of learning Lisp to become a better developer, you can learn a language which is actually in use and will improve you as good as Lisp does. Meet Rust. Rust is not the latest hype, but has fundamentals which offer you a wide range of opportunities, even in the long run.
Rust is a systems language, but it's ergonomic syntax empowers the developer after the first struggles.
From a NodeJS perspective, Rust can be used to create web server applications and services. You can write Lambda functions or full fledged applications. Instead of using TypeScript, Rust has a strong build-in Type system. Instead of using ESLint, it ships with the pickiest compiler out there.
The pain you feel in the beginning is different. I call it good pain. Good pain lets you grow as a person (and developer), bad pain just hurts. I would categorize many of the TypeScript and NodeJS pains as bad pain. Not because the tools are bad, but a language which was created in 10 days just gets you so far.
At some point you need to make a personal decision of how your life should look like. Your day to day has a huge impact on your happiness and the well-being of your surroundings. Rust can help you rediscover the joy of programming again.
After you learned Rust, you may think you just replaced tool X with tool Y and end up in the same place. But, there is a difference. Once learned, you can use Rust to create:
- Games
- CLI tools
- Operating Systems
- Web Services
- Browser Applications
- Applications on Embedded Devices
One would say you can cover the whole stack. Rust creates a self feeding system:
- Developers from C, C++, Java, Kotlin, Python, Ruby and JavaScript flock to the language
- Rust and its features are getting discussed not only in a web context but in a wide range of scenarios
- Different areas, perspectives and use cases are getting fed back into the language in an open way
Lets picture a perfect world 5 years from now
You are writing your web service in Rust. Instead of installing five different npm modules which help you cover your mistakes, you are using build-in tools to harden your code base. After the compiler gives you a green light you are 98% sure your application will run safe and fast in the years to come.
But, hold on, you are still sometimes frustrated by the repetitive work environment. But now you mastered a language which you can use to build your own Operating System on the side, you can implement the TCP protocol, you can create Games and join a local game community. You can even create applications for the Browser which are compiled to WASM. If this is not enough, you can get yourself a piece of hardware and run Rust on it.
Node is not gone
NodeJS won't be completely gone, and your skills neither. However you found a great addition and you might just focus on Rust more in the future. Remember, no language survived forever. NodeJS could end up with the same faith as PHP and others. Picking a systems language like Rust gives you strength and opportunities for many years to come.
Should you learn Rust?
From a developers perspective: Yes, definitely. Rust has many unique features which will be copied also to other programming languages (like Ownership in Swift). Learning Rust sharpens your thinking and will make you more considered in your day-to-day language of choice.
From a safety and correctness perspective: You should aim to replace part of your web service with Rust. Start small and see where it leads you. Other companies like NPM, Dropbox and Yelp are doing it and had big success.
Rust for the web is not completely there, but once fully landed, it can not only convert your web services into safe bets. Once mastered, Rust lets you jump up and down the stack, explore Computer Science concepts first hand and build tools in your free time other then the next CRUD application.
So, take the chance and make 2019 the year you learn Rust. Have something in production by Christmas and try to replace part of your services at work in Rust and see if it's successful. Rust will not only let you sleep calmer at weekends, knowing that a rock solid binary is running in production, but the skills you gained let you explore a vast universe of possibilities around technology.
I will help you with that. Follow my series on "Practical Web Development with Rust" and build with me a shiny web application in the next few months.

Exploring Rust for the web
Ok, I'll be the contrarian...
There's a lot of "Rust is awesome" fanboyish opinion here and it's very light on actual reasons WHY rust is better.
Seems also very unlikely that just because something compiles it could be considered stable with anything close to 98% certainty ... Without adequate testing.
Most of the other stuff you can do once you learn rust can also be done with node, or lisp, etc.
Rust may really be the best thing ever, but there's not enough actual substance in this post to prove it's worth learning.
Yeah, if you want to learn Rust feel free, it's a great systems language. But I'm struggling to understand how someone who's having problems with ESLint is going to have a great time with the borrow checker.
Rust helps writing secure, stable, high performant, thread-safe code. For most use cases that node is being used for, they don't have a problem that rust solves. Rocket is very cool but unless you need the performance I don't see why you would pay the dev cost to use it over express or asp.net or whatever.
If you want to evangelize rust and create more rustaceans I think you should write more about the things that rust is good at and how it's worked well for you.
Hey Will, thanks for this answer!
I don't think "fanboy" is an appropriate term. Especially not in programming languages.
Feel free to click through the refrences (I highlighted my points with links). Especially read through the NPM paper and the rocket talk on Rust.
A 5 minute read is never any substance for anything, but should give you an idea. With the provided links you have enough to read and watch for probably a whole day.
I'll look into it, when I have time to look into it. My point simply was that you didn't provide a lot of compelling proof that it's "better" and many of the reasons provided aren't much more than opinion, really :)
That's good to know! Well you should always take your time going through the post and looking through references.
But that's an inspiring point and I will start a series where each post points out a very specific advantage of Rust!
Thanks for the input Will!
Enjoyed the post overall and I'm always looking for my next language to learn. Just got done dabbling with Elixir and have been hitting C#/dotnet stuff currently. Rust is something that is always on my radar. Though I do need to poke fun at one comment.
"NodeJS could end up with the same fate as PHP"
A quick google of "how much of the web is PHP" returns this
According to W3Techs' data, PHP is used by 78.9% of all websites with a known server-side programming language. So almost 8 out of every 10 websites that you visit on the Internet are using PHP in some way.
I understand what you mean, but almost 8 out of 10 isn't a bad fate to have as a language!
That's very true Chad. It was a provoking article. What I want to deliver is: Companies who build new products choose other languages then PHP (not all of them of course). So the fade of PHP means: Smaller job market, maybe more competitive with lower hourly wage!
Great read! I come from Node.js as well and learning Rust in the last months has been amazing. I feel like many new doors that were unaccessible just opened. And using a new language feels so refreshing after years of being only a JS dev. Thanks for sharing! I can relate of what you wrote for sure.
Lol, this is just really uncompelling.
In the context of web development, which paragraph here actually highlights a problem with JavaScript that is best solved by using Rust?
Like, what specifically is insufficient about Typescript?
It depends on how large and critical the services are you are building for sure!
Once you reach a level where you care about speed, safety and correctness, you will look for options! Rust is one very compelling one!
Besides the other reason I am mentioning! Feel free to bookmark the article and come back in a few years to re evaluate!
Interesting, I will start a series which highlights the reason more in depths and shows them vs. others language. Thank you for your input!
For now: Just click through the highlighted texts (links) and see if you like what you see.
Rust is safe, the "safest language out there" through the compiler and the design of the language.
Also, since it's a low level systems language, you can basically create anything you want :)
I have a very particular reason for avoiding Rust. It seems that you can learn the language and make web servers or toy programs with it, but the ecosystem is very young and contains no learning material for non-experts of the intended field. For instance, if I'm new to Rust and cryptography, well, good luck! Similarly, there are no resources for learning OS-level stuff with Rust, or learning game engine development with Rust, ... you get the idea!
Python, by comparison, is a stark contrast. The amount of educational material available is overwhelming, and so, someone new to Python and, say, penetration testing can pick up a book like Violent Python and learn something other than a new syntax (read: something useful).
Currently, Rust is for absolute experts (mostly in C/C++) with (highly?) specialized domain knowledge who want to explore something better. If you're not that, and you don't want to write web servers in yet another language, well, keep calm and carry on with what you're doing. :)
Great post

Archive for the 'Cascade Effect' tag
FTC Cascade Effect Virtual World Available!
Hot on the heels of the official game unveiling, the ROBOTC and Robot Virtual World team is proud to announce the availability of the new FTC Cascade Effect virtual world! Check out the rules for the new game here.
Like past FTC Robot Virtual Worlds, the game elements, scoring, autonomous period, and tele-operated period are all simulated. We also provide three different robot models that can interact with this year's game objects.
Conveyorbot is capable of picking up 4 balls at a time, and dropping them into the movable tube goals. The 4 balls can be any combination of the small golf balls or larger wiffle balls.
Scissorbot can pick up any of this year's game objects: the larger wiffle balls, smaller golf balls, and the movable tube goals. It's gripper can extend high into the air, allowing it to also drop the balls into any of the goals!
Gripperbot can also pick up all of this year's game objects: the larger wiffle balls, smaller golf balls, and the movable tube goals. Its streamlined design and low center of gravity allow it to quickly score balls and move tubes across the playing field.
All robots this year have been upgraded with "ball guards" around their chassis and wheels, which will help them to traverse the field once it has been covered in balls. They can also be equipped with either a Gyro sensor for precise turns, even if the robot slips, or an IR Receiver for tracking the center goal! Click here to download some sample code we've written to help you get started with all of the robots.
Download and try out the game today. If you are using ROBOTC 4, make sure that your Platform Type is set to LEGO Mindstorms NXT, and that you have "External Motor/Servo Controllers" enabled.
We appreciate any feedback you have! Please feel free to share it at the ROBOTC.net forums. Also, be on the lookout for future updates on our blog. We will be releasing a game video, along with an update that includes additional features along with robot-to-game object interaction tweaks.

text: Sociopath, murderer, thief…Bernard C. Welch was all these yet he passed himself off as normal. One of his favorite aliases, of the 11 known he used, was Norm. How did this One Man Crime Wave; manage to escape from two prisons, elude police for years and amass a huge personal fortune to become America's Most Wanted burglar? Reporter Jack Burch and Detective Jim King (who was the first to finger Welch) peel back the layers of the criminal career of the single individual that most Washington D.C. enforcement agencies thought was a gang of roving of thieves. The night of December 5, 1980 when Washington's most beloved cardiologist, Michael Halberstam and his wife Eliot Jones-Halberstam returned home to feed the dogs, Bernard C. Welch was doing his fifth burglary of the night in the Halberstam home. Halberstam fought back and Welch shot him twice in the chest. As Welch fled on foot, Halberstam, driving himself to Sibley Hospital, spotted the criminal and ran him down with his 1977 Monte Carlo. Halberstam died that night, but Welch–AKA Norm Hamilton–lived and the resulting trial became a media circus. This is the fascinating story of a criminal mind and life that wreaked havoc in the lives of thousands and thousands from New York to Washington to Duluth, Minnesota.

A 27-year-old Aurora man was injured during a shooting Thursday night in the city's far east side, authorities said.
The victim said he was walking in the 700 block of South Farnsworth Avenue around 11:20 p.m. when a green Jeep with several men inside pulled up, police said in a statement on Facebook.
One of the men fired at the victim, hitting him twice in his arm, police said. The Jeep then drove south on Farnsworth Avenue and the victim walked home.
The victim was taken by a family member to an Aurora hospital where he was treated and released.
There are no descriptions of suspects, but police said they believe the shooting does not appear to be random.
The Kane County sheriff's office assisted in the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Investigations Unit at 630-256-5500 or the Aurora Area Crime Stoppers at 630-892-1000.


text: (Bloomberg) -- .Global manufacturing is looking a little brighter heading into the end of the year, with a pickup in China and Germany validating calls that global growth is stabilizing..The better factory numbers from China in November filtered across Asian economies including South Korea, Japan and Malaysia, all of which saw their Purchasing Managers' Indexes nudge higher. In Europe, Germany's reading came in stronger than initially estimated, rising for a second month..The news lifted equities, with the Stoxx Europe 600 up 0.4% following earlier gains across Asia. Bonds fell, with German 10-year yields rising to the highest in three weeks..The latest numbers continue a narrative seen across continents in recent weeks that the global economy has reached the bottom of the downturn and is stabilizing. Also fueling the optimism is hope that the U.S. and China -- despite mixed messages and ongoing political tensions -- are close to signing the first part of a trade deal.."The market is positioned for a phase-one deal either by the end of this year or if not, then that the tariff hike for December will be delayed," said Christoph Rieger, head of fixed rate strategy at Commerzbank. "The green-shoots spirit regarding the economy probably has room to extend.".The next data point for investors is the U.S. ISM manufacturing report later on Monday. Also coming this week are readings from German industry plus U.S. monthly payrolls..Much of the better mood in Asia was down to China's improved performance. The Caixin index rose to 51.8 from 51.7, following news on the weekend that the official measure jumped to 50.2, the first reading above the key 50 level since April..What Bloomberg's Economists Say..."Headwinds to the economy are unlikely to let up in the near term. Domestic sentiment remains sluggish, and it's hard to see it improving significantly anytime soon, given deterioration in industrial enterprises' profitability and slowing consumption."--David Qu. Read the full REACT.In Germany, the factory PMI rose to 44.1 from 42.1 -- good news but far from suggesting a strong rebound in growth is in sight. The economy still faces obstacles, particularly in its auto industry, and employment in manufacturing continues to fall. If that persists, it could shake the consumer and put a dent in spending, a key pillar of the economy..Highlighting the ongoing danger, Daimler AG said Friday it will eliminate more than 10,000 positions. That lifts the tally of job cuts announced this year across Germany's manufacturing sector to more than 100,000, according to Bloomberg calculations..Mixed signals weren't confined to Germany. While Japanese companies increased capital spending from the previous year, corporate profits fell for a second quarter and sales dropped, suggesting that investment could come under pressure in the months ahead. The country's PMI also remains below 50, despite the latest increase..In South Korea, often seen as a bellwether for global trade, export demand continued to slide in November, dropping more than 14% year-on-year, the sixth straight double-digit decline.."Considerable challenges remain," said Chang Shu, chief Asia economist for Bloomberg Economics. "Meaningful stabilization hinges on whether the U.S. and China can strike a phase-one deal.".--With assistance from Manus Cranny and Nejra Cehic..To contact the reporters on this story: Fergal O'Brien in Zurich at email@example.com;Enda Curran in Hong Kong at email@example.com contact the editors responsible for this story: Craig Stirling at firstname.lastname@example.com, Jana Randow, Zoe Schneeweiss.©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
