Somewhere in excess of 0 percent, there is an optimum commission rate for lottery retailers that will yield the greatest amount of revenue for the state. Oregon hasn�t found that optimum number, but over the years the state has pushed commissions steadily downward without reaching a point of diminishing returns. A dip in lottery revenues, however, has led the lottery�s director to propose leaving commissions unchanged � a proposal that highlights the state�s need for better information about how to maximize what has become an important source of state income.
The state�s take from lottery games � mostly video poker � peaked at $895 million in the 2007-08 fiscal year, and slid to $787 million in the year that ended in June. It was the first such slump in the 25-year history of state-sponsored gambling in Oregon.
The decline had nothing to do with earlier reductions in retailers� commissions. A ban on smoking in taverns and bars took effect Jan. 1, causing smokers to spend less time playing video poker. An even bigger factor is Oregon�s 11.5 percent unemployment rate and reductions in pay or hours for many who still have jobs. For all players except gambling addicts, the lottery is a variety of entertainment expense that easily can be eliminated from tight household budgets. Lottery revenues are likely to rebound once people become accustomed to the smoking ban and the economy begins to recover.
The drop in lottery sales translates to a decline in commissions. Retailers� average annual take fell to $71,200 in the 2008-09 fiscal year, down from $82,676 the year before. Retailers get to keep 27.5 percent of their first $175,000 in lottery sales, with their share declining to as low as 11 percent of sales exceeding $800,000.
Even with the slowdown in sales, the lottery remains the best thing to happen to bars and taverns since the end of Prohibition; it�s all that�s keeping some of them in business.
Lottery Director Dale Penn, however, decided that now is not the time to push commissions further downward. His concern is that cutting retailers� share would �greatly endanger the revenue stream� to the state by causing some to end their partnership with the lottery. On Friday, the state Lottery Commission will consider Penn�s proposal to keep current commissions in place until 2016.
Penn�s recommendation dismays groups that see an increased state share of lottery revenues as a source of funding for schools and other state services. Because the purpose of the lottery is to generate revenue for public purposes, commissions should be no more generous than necessary to ensure broad participation by retailers. Penn believes commissions are at or near that point; others disagree. The Lottery Commission should make an effort to find out who�s right.
Experimentation could yield some useful information. In one relatively self-contained part of Oregon, the state could try limiting the number of video game terminals and awarding them to retailers who offer to accept the lowest share of revenues. In another area, the state could test the effects of a single-digit commission rate for terminals that generate the greatest volume of revenues.
It also might be possible to distinguish among types of retail establishments and set commission rates higher for some than for others.
As it is, the state is feeling its way in the dark toward an optimum commission rate. The Lottery Commission should endorse Penn�s proposal for a freeze, but for a shorter period � just long enough to gather empirical evidence that would guide a review of retailers� commission rates.

The one-liner guide to La Liga is coming back just like your in-laws every Christmas.
Ready? Set? Go.
Your Spanish Cosita
Pro Evolution Soccer. PRO, which is what the Spanish call it, is as much a part of the footballing culture as La Liga. Whenever groups of guys in Spain get together, everyone wants to 'echar un partidito' (play a little game). Some people take it a bit further and take Pro and tweak it to their liking. Last year's edition, someone made a 'La Sexta' edition complete with Andres Montes and it is by far the best edition. Thanks to Swap Magic, I can play that edition when I'm home and relive all of my La Sexta memories with Andres Montes yelling all the time.
This one is one of games that people alter, called in Spanish, 'parché'. In this game, everything is changed to Canal + which is one of the television networks that has La Liga games in Spain.
In case you don't know who Montes is, here he is calling the Italy-Germany game from WC 2006 with the rest of the La Sexta crew.
La Semana Pasada
Here's some of the week's top stories.
–The return legs of the Champions League saw Sevilla knocked out in what some are calling one of the Champions League's best games (not based on defense). Barcelona went through after winning at home against Celtic 1-0, but losing Leo Messi for 6 weeks (more on that later). Real Madrid went down against Roma 2-1 at the Bernabeu. It really should have been a 2-0 scoreline as Real Madrid's goal couldn't have been more offside if they tried.
–Speaking of Leo Messi, an article in AS.com today gives the following stats. In the last three years, Messi has been out 246 days and has had 7 different injuries. And, another interesting fact with that, Messi's injuries have always come in games directly after he has sat on the bench (according to the Guardian Podcast..I obviously don't have time to research that myself).
–Getafe are 2-1 winners in the UEFA Cup against a Benfica side reduced to ten men. With 2 away goals and with Getafe's strength playing at home, they should have a good chance to make it into the next round in the UEFA Cup.
–To keep the revolving door going at Zaragoza, Javier Itureta has resigned as coach after six weeks at the helm. He was replaced by Manolo Villanova, who was coaching in the Segunda B, Group 2 (basically the third division) at SD Huesca. This makes Villanova the fourth coach at Real Zaragoza this season.
–Sticking with coaching changes, former Spain chief Javier Clemente is now the new boss at Real Murcia with the firing of Lucas Alcaraz.
— David Albelda had his day in court, but lost. The judge told Albelda that he could not authorize the 60€ million compensation for Albelda which is equal to his buy out clause in his contract. Valencia said he is free to go as long as a club will pay the buyout clause, which no team is crazy about.
–And this week's Story of the Weird, Espanyol is letting their fans support them from beyond the grave as 4,000€ will get you a spot at the new Cornella-El Prat stadium, but only for 15 years.
This Week's MENUDO PARTIDAZO
Barcelona v Villarreal
Sunday 3:00pm
A Leo Messi-less Barcelona want La Liga glory this season, but have a tough clash ahead with a very well rested Villarreal squad.
Real Madrid v Espanyol
No rest for the weary as the newly eliminated Madridistas only have La Liga to worry about for the rest of the season while Espanyol are still in the fight for a possible Champions League position next season.
Zaragoza v Atlético
Jesus Samper was quoted earlier this week saying 'Apparently the FOURTH coach is a charm, didn't you all know that??'
Sevilla v Levante
The most lobsided match-up of the week brings the penniless Granotes into the Sanchez Pizjuan were Sevilla look to extract a bit of payback against the first team since their ousting in the Champions League.
Osasuna v Almería
Almería are still my newly promoted side to love as Unai Emery's stock continues to rise week after week while Almería inch closer and closer to a possible birth in Europe next season.
Athletic v Valladolid
Caparros went in 'reverse' as he did not include three of the Cantera's finest chavales into the lineup in a scrimmage this week as promised. Now the question is pending, when will Madrid or Barcelona swoop in to the Basque country and take these kids away.
Racing v Betis
This past week saw most beticos quickly become Fenerbahçe fans as the cucumbers got their wishes as Sevilla were eliminated from the Champions League. (But they are only three points away from relegation..shhh!)
Murcia v Getafe
Newly promoted Javier Clemente looks to do right in his first game as head coach, but will have a tough task of dispatching a Getafe side amped with the possibility of European UEFA Cup glory dancing in their heads.
Mallorca v Recreativo
I'll be honest here, I've got nothing. At least..they speak Catalan in Mallorca.
Valencia v Deportivo
Ever Banega, fresh off a late night traffic stop/failed sobriety test said 'I only had a little to drink' as his response. Beware the kalimotxo children.

You don't get these three together that often, although in his early days, Wilson did meet Raine – he tells the story in his account of the Angry Young Men, The Angry Years. I met Wilson and Raine. I wouldn't be surprised if Raine and Corbin met; I haven't come across an account of them meeting, but they moved in the same circles and knew the same people. Their reason for appearing here is that I am posting links to two recent lectures. One is another of my ongoing conversations with Jeffrey Mishlove for his New Thinking Allowed series, this time about Colin Wilson. The other is the last lecture in my Lost Knowledge of the Imagination series of talks given for Jeremy Johnson's excellent Nura Learning site. I write about Wilson in Beyond the Robot: The Life and Work of Colin Wilson and I write about Henry Corbin and Kathleen Raine in Lost Knowledge of the Imagination, so if you watch the talks and want to know more, those are the best places to start. Once again, happy new year. If enough Outsiders use their imagination, we may just be able to pull this one out of the fire.
Tag: Owen Barfield
Thinking Allowed
Recently I was interviewed by Jeffrey Mishlove for his Thinking Allowed series of podcasts. This is the first of what will most likely turn out to be several such conversations. We talked about Rudolf Steiner in this one, and yesterday Jeffrey interviewed me about my book Dark Star Rising. The next installment we have planned is a chat about Madame Blavatsky. I enjoy Jeffrey's interviews; he clearly knows the subjects and he guarantees a good discussion by asking intelligent questions. Here's one place in which thinking is definitely allowed.
Barfield, Ouspensky, and oh yeah, that Trump book…
I'm giving a talk next week at Rudolf Steiner House here in London on the work of Owen Barfield. Readers of A Secret History of Consciousness, Revolutionaries of the Soul, and Lost Knowledge of the Imagination will be familiar with Barfield and how his ideas have been a central influence on my own work. I've talked about Barfield's work in the context of other topics, but this will be my first talk on his life and ideas directly. I am looking forward to it and to returning to Rudolf Steiner House, where I gave a talk on Lost Knowledge not too long ago.
I'm also giving a talk later in the month on one of my favorite writers on consciousness and esotericism, and one of the first that I read, many years ago, P.D. Ouspensky. My first biographical book was about Ouspenky, and over the years I have found myself going back to his work on a number of occasions. Last year I made a kind of pilgrimage to Virginia Water, about twenty miles outside of London, where for a time in the 1930s and '40s, Ouspensky had his own version of Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. This will be the first talk on Ouspensky that I've given in quite some time. The only other one I gave was when In Search of P.D. Ouspensky was first published, in 2003. As you might expect, I am looking forward to this too. Both talks will be videoed and, gods willing, posted on You Tube.
In other news, Dark Star Rising: Magick and Power in the Age of Trump, has finally risen. It was released in the US today – 29 May – and briefly occupied the No. 1 position at Amazon in, I'm not quite sure, magic, metaphysics, whatever genre it falls into in our increasingly classified times. (Remember when there used to be just an occult section in bookshops? Those were the days.) It's holding on to that slot in Kindle and I don't know how the audio book – which I've yet to hear – is doing. So far it's garnered a few reviews; here are some links: Liberty Law Site, Forbes, the Faith Matters blog, and my favorite so far, Prof. Bruce Charlton's splenetic response to the book. I have, in his words, "crossed the line", "abandoned all" my "earlier standards of scholarship and fairness" and "joined the forces of darkness." I have also been "corrupted" – very rapidly it seems – by "Global Elites" and have embraced their "moral inversion." Or actually my hitherto hidden embrace of their "secular progressivism" is now clear as day. News to me but then I never get the memos.
I can only thank Prof. Charlton for being moved enough by my book and the outrage it sparked to put his ideas into print – or pixels. I can also only say that if he thinks I am an agent of secular progressivism he has not read my previous books as attentively as he suggests. But of course in our highly polarized time, if you are not on one side you must be on the other and of course there are only two. For an idea of my take on progressive ideas, readers – and I include Prof. Charlton – may want to take a look at my article "What is Jordan B Peterson Really Saying?" in New Dawn magazine. Unfortunately the article isn't online and I can't disseminate hard copies. I don't profit by it, but if you plump for a copy it may give you pause for thought next time you think of bemoaning the fact that I have been corrupted by the forces of godless globalization. If only.
Dark Star will continue to rise this week, and, I hope, for many weeks to come. I am on BBC Radio 3's Freethinking broadcast this Thursday evening, 31 May – GMT – discussing the book with Matthew Sweet. And on Friday evening I am being interviewed for RT for their program Watching the Hawks. I'm not sure when this will air, but when I know, I'll spread the word. And on 26 June I'll be talking about the book to the Fortean Society at Conway Hall, a venue which, in its day, welcoming figures like Bertrand Russell, was most likely a veritable hotbed of secular progressivism. Drat, tarred with that brush again!
I should also mention that my online course for the CIIS on Lost Knowledge of the Imagination begins today. Something else I am looking forward to.
In the meantime, if you'd like to join me here, in my work for the forces of darkness, by all means do. Buy the book, read it, post a review, and then together we will look for a flashlight.
And The Beast Goes On…
Here's the link to the second part of my talk on Aleister Crowley, given at the Kensington Central Library on March 15th. My sense of time tends to dilate when I give a talk, and before I know it I've covered a mere fraction of what I had intended to when I'm being signaled to cut to the chase. Never fear. As I shamefacedly say in the talk, you can get the full story here, if you haven't already.
I should mention that my next talk on Crowley, for the Century Club in London's Soho, is sold out, as is a talk I am giving in May on Madame Blavatsky. That's an encouraging sign. There are places left though for two other talks I'm giving in London in June. One is on P.D. Ouspensky, on his life and work in London during the years entre deux guerres, again at Kensington Central Library. The other is on Owen Barfield, at Rudolf Steiner House ,on June 5. It isn't listed yet on the Rudolf Steiner House web site but will be soon I imagine.
I've also heard that the audio version of Lost Knowledge of the Imagination will be available soon. When it is you'll be among the first to know. I am also giving an online course based on the book for the summer semester of the California Institute of Integral Studies. Any knowledge we find I'll be sure to share with you.
Lost Knowledge at Steiner House, Audible Imagination, and Swedenborg's Correspondence.
I've posted a short video of the Question and Answer session following my recent talk at Rudolf Steiner House on YouTube . Here's the link. I'm aiming to post more of the talk sometime soon, and to record future talks and make those available too. It's a slow process and while I am not a technophobe, I know why I studied the Humanities.
I've also recently agreed a deal with Thirteen Ventures Limited, of Toronto, Canada, for them to produce an audio book version of Lost Knowledge of the Imagination. Mark Jeftovic, the man in charge, has had success with his earlier audio ventures, but Lost Knowledge is, I think, a new departure. I look forward to hearing the finished product, and with any luck others will too.
And last week I submitted my 10,000 word essay on 'Swedenborg's Correspondences', to the Swedenborg Society, who commissioned me to write it for a new series of short books they are launching, dealing with different aspects of Swedenborg's huge body of work. The idea of correspondences is at the heart of Swedenborg's vision, and it is an idea that has had an enormous influence on western culture over the last two centuries. I take a look at Swedenborg's influence on Baudelaire and the Symbolist movement, his own correspondences with the western Hermetic tradition, and ask how his ideas may be of help to us today, in the early years of the post-truth world.
Lost Knowledge at Steiner House
I'm giving a talk on 23 January at Rudolf Steiner House, London, on my latest book Lost Knowledge of the Imagination. Steiner House is a good location for this talk. Steiner himself saw developing imagination as the first step in his program of intensifying consciousness and achieving "supersensible perception," and in the book, along with other figures such as the poet and Blake scholar Kathleen Raine and the scholar of Persian mysticism Henry Corbin, I devote much space to two thinkers closely connected to Steiner. The German poet, novelist and scientist J.W. von Goethe was Steiner's central inspiration on his way to esoteric knowledge, and the essayist, historian of ideas, great friend of C.S. Lewis and occasional Inkling Owen Barfield, developed Steiner's ideas and applied them to his own investigations into the evolution of consciousness. Both warrant chapters exploring how their insights into the cognitive character of imagination – its aspect as a "way of knowing" – can help us grasp imagination's importance today. My talk will look at the historical roots of imagination being sidelined in favor of a strictly logical and empirical approach to knowledge, and will offer examples of how imagination can help us know reality and even, in some strange way, help it come into being.

Time: 7:30
Price: £7/5 with concessions.
Evolutionary Revelations
David Moore has posted an exhilarating and deeply probing essay about Lost Knowledge of the Imagination on his Ritual in the Dark web site. I met David last year at the Colin Wilson Conference held at Nottingham University, where he gave a brilliant talk on the links between Wilson's 'new existentialism' and his investigations into the occult, as evidenced in Wilson's novels The Mind Parasites and The Philosopher's Stone, and I am happy to see that he will be speaking again at next year's conference. I also understand that Colin Stanley's Paupers Press will be publishing a collection of his essays sometime in the near future. I hope that future is very near, as I look forward to reading more of, well, Moore's work – due credit to the god of unintentional puns given. It is encouraging and heartening to see new minds taking up the Wilsonian banner, and if it is simply not done for a writer to applaud an essay about his own work, then I accept the calumny such action entails. Diffidence be damned: it is a fine piece of writing.

My FREE Guide will help you to have more energy and get your summer body back!
Have you ever tried juice cleansing?
If you haven't, this article is for you.
Meanwhile, if you've tried brands like Clean Juice cleanse or you've done juicing at home already, keep on reading.
Because there are a lot more things you should know when it comes to juice cleansing.
Juice cleansing is a type of diet wherein a person abstains from solid food and consumes only vegetables and fruit juices for a few days.
(Click image to see the Pinterest Button)
Having a juice cleanse is giving your body a chance to heal, reset and recharge.
Admit it or not, this is something we tend to forget due to our busy schedules at home or work.
After a long day of errands and endless house chores, the best we could do is to sit on the couch and watch a series.
Remember that you need to give your body its well-deserved break and one good step is to start from within.
Note that any detox diet comes with its own set of benefits and risks.
Essentially, we get to have more servings of fruit by "drinking" it rather than "eating it."
Juicing is like getting all the benefits of a multivitamin in a delicious way.
We also get to enjoy the advantages of juicing that includes having a healthier immune system, better digestion and detoxification.
It is also said that you will lose weight during the cleanse but it totally depends on the things you do before, during and after the cleanse.
Plus, weight loss is considered more of a by-product of juice cleansing.
On the other hand, we do not get to consume as much fiber and protein our body needs in the course of juice cleansing.
What we need to do is to create a perfect balance between getting all the perks of juicing while trying to find ways to cope up with its disadvantages.
On top of that, we also have to figure out a method that will work for us.
Many juice cleansing attempts fail due to lack of knowledge and preparedness.
What you should be doing now is to go grab that bottle of Clean Juice Cleanse and read further as I share with you 5 tips for a successful juice cleanse.
Take it easy and prepare your body for the change.
Only you can decide how and when to prepare your body for the cleanse.
A popular suggestion is to do a pre-cleanse diet.
Cut back on your favourite high carb food, caffeinated or sugar-loaded drinks a few days before the cleanse.
Sounds hard but it's completely doable.
Make sure to check any health concerns you might have as part of your juice cleanse preparation.
Keep in mind that juice cleansing is not advised for pregnant women, breastfeeding moms and those who have special health conditions.
As part of your preparation, you can also browse through cleansing selections such as the Clean Juice Cleanse and many other varieties.
Juice cleansing is usually done a few times in a year so make sure you do it properly.
You will need to consider a few factors in choosing the right juice cleanse product like brand, price and quality.
With the rising trend of cleansing products such as Clean Juice Cleanse and many other brands, you will need to take extra effort in finding the best match for you.
A good tip is to go for cold-pressed juices
These types of juices are made from cold-pressed machines.
The cold-pressing method does not generate any heat, therefore, keeping the nutrients and enzymes from the vegetables and fruits.
Clean Juice Cleanse uses cold-press juicers and their products are certified organic.
They have kale, spinach and apple combination and they also have beet, carrot, apple, lemon juice cleanse flavour to name a few.
Don't pressure yourself too much.
Learn to listen to your body and take a break or get some rest if you have to.
Sometimes even if you prepared for it, a juice cleanse can still come as a surprise for you and your body.
You may feel dizzy or extremely tired or you may feel nothing at all.
What's important is you know how to set limits and you have time to relax and reflect.
Cleansing methods are far more effective when your body is at its best.
After all, you wouldn't want your Clean Juice Cleanse products or other brands go to waste just because you chose not to listen to what your body tells you.
You'll be extra hungry especially on your first day.
You know how people get extra angry when they're hungry.
To help lighten things up, you need to do other activities such as drawing, listening to music or reading a book.
Doing what you love distracts you from the struggles of juice cleansing and helps you go through the process easily.
So grab a pen and start getting creative as you grab your next bottle of a Clean Juice Cleanse.
The saying no man is an island is true especially when it comes to health and fitness goals.
Find like-minded people and encourage each other about the benefits of juice cleansing.
Share what you know, compare products like Clean Juice Cleanse and try to learn more from each other.
Having someone who has the same goal makes everything a whole lot easier.
(Click image to see the Pinterest Button)
So you've finally reached your goal and you'd like to celebrate.
Take it easy because you have to eat slowly and introduce solid food again into your system.
Go back to your pre-cleanse methods and gradually increase food intake as you go by.
It would also help if you try to cut back on unhealthy meals for good.
Overall, cleansing products like Clean Juice Cleanse are absolutely helpful especially in terms of detox and weight.
The right product and the right mindset can definitely bring you to success in your cleansing journey.
It all boils down to how you prepare your cleansing schedule and how you manage your diet after the cleanse.
It's important to set yourself up for success and believe that you can survive the 3, 5 or whatever number of days you have scheduled for your detox.
And hey, don't forget to drink water! I'm sure you'll be needing more glasses throughout the day.

After years of careful restoration, Orient-Express debuts Palacio Nazarenas in Cusco, Peru, a property exquisite on all fronts but most laudable for its refreshing take on the colonial manse.

On June 22nd, 2010 I posted "Goodbye Tennis Shoes and 9AM Alarm Clocks" as So Long Freedom was born into the internet with a sonogram picture of my first child and my realization that everything was about to change. My wife Kate and I had just made the adjustment of moving from Bolton Landing, NY on Lake George to a neighborhood in Wichita, KS. I was transitioning from freelance producing new media, film and TV to a marketing job in Corporate America. My tennis shoes sat waiting by the door for the weekend and my new loafers got all the attention. Then came that sonogram…and all those life changes seemed pretty small in comparison…but also rapidly happening all at once.
We nicknamed the little guy "Ziggy the Zygote" or just "Zig" for short. Who knew he'd grow into the Max I know and love today who is turning 18 months tomorrow and thinks he can tackle the world. All the information out there about pregnancy were either completely aimed at women or treated men as if we were emotionally idiotic. There wasn't anything that spoke to the perils and rewards of fatherhood, so I logged my journey and shared it publicly…for better or worse.
Do I have all the answers? Hell no…but I've asked a fair amount of questions and I've lived to tell some hilarious tales. I've learned that every journey is different but if you are armed with the right knowledge its much easier to take on the bumps in the road of life.
I had no idea what fatherhood would be like and I'm still learning. I now know what it is like to have a child. I have no idea what it is like to have two children but it looks like we're going to find out:
Meet "Sesame." Sesame is 10 weeks old right now and about the size of an olive. While we've known Sesame was bouncing around in Kate's belly for the past few weeks we were not officially introduced until Monday when we got to see his/her tiny heart beating during the sonogram. While Max was unimpressed, I was delighted to see that Sesame's little heart was beating and our baby was moving. My heart is much calmer this time around but I am anxious about what will happen when we add another little person into our family dynamic. What will it do to us? What will it do to me? Will it be a boy or a girl? Will it be calm like Max and Kate…or wild like me? Will it have my butt chin (Max does)? Will it let me sing it to sleep? Who knows.
…and so…Chapter 2 begins…

Equity investors have been ignoring the robust demand for treasuries, negative short rates.Negative interest rates are back. Yields on short-term US government debt have fallen into negative territory as banks and investors park their cash in havens before the end of the year.
Fear pushes US rates into negativeBy Michael Mackenzie in New York
Published: November 24 2009 19:19 | Last updated: November 24 2009 19:19
One need only be reminded of Sep 2008 and Dec 2008.
Ignore the bond market signals at your peril. Robust demand for bonds at historically low yields, negative short rates are not a healthy sign.
Secondly, we have Dubai and we also have an imploding Greece. These could be one off events. But they could also be the first dominoes. In the larger scheme $60 billion or thereabouts in Dubai is not that big a number given where we have come from.
But what is far worse is the structural damage that is being inflicted in the region. China is a bubble. India is a market share gain story and FDI flows, not much more. Brazil is a commodity play.
And we have seen the bogus recovery stats with the bulk of GDP growth this past quarter driven by cash for clunkers and housing programs.
Take it all away and what do you have left?
A strapped, over debted, suffering consumer and governments entering the scenario consumers were in 5 years ago, teaser rate debt. Leverage is a bitch. It usually comes back and bites you.

Happy 4th of July!
Well not just yet… I'm a few days early.
However, I was excited about this craft that I wanted to make sure you had enough time to make your own.
So you can give them to family members, friends or neighbors on the 4th of July.
This should only take your 5-10 minutes to create.
Let's get started!
What You Need:
X-ACTO Knife
How To Make:
Choose one of the links above.
Once printed, cut out the tags.
Using an X-ACTO knife, cut two lines into the paper. One line above and another line, below the saying.
Next take your sparklers and weave them through the first slit at the top. Hiding the sparklers behind the letters.
Then slide the sparklers back through the second slit, so they appear on the front again.
Thoughts by L:
When I first started designing this handout, a scripture kept coming to me.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Growing up I lived in a small town. I was sometimes viewed or labeled, "different" because of my values. When I was younger Matthew 5:16 was my favorite scripture!
People could tell there was something unusual about me and others of my faith. But they typically had a hard time deciphering "why" or "what" it was.
For those who are not a member of my faith… When members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, are baptized we promise to always have his spirit to be with us.
That light of Christ, is what sets us apart from others around us. As long as we are doing what is right, his spirit or light may remain with us. Which is what others notice. A little sparkle or glint of happiness. Even in hard times.
So for this month, I thought the sparklers would be a fun activity for little families to do with their small children.
Heck… I'm a grown adult and I still love a good sparklers!
But it was a special reminder for us, to let our light shine.
To use our light to bring others closer to God. That they too, might know Him!
So remember… be like a sparkler.
Shine Bright and Sparkle!

I want my country back. Let the crusades begin!
German police refused to take a call seriously and as a result allowed a Ghanaian refugee to rape a woman.
According to The Daily Mail, the officer who took the call did not believe the desperate man on the other end of the line. "You are not messing with me I hope," the officer said.
The boyfriend had been threatened with a machete by the refugee who entered the tent he shared with his girlfriend at a campsite near Bonn.
According to the report, the attacker dragged the girl a few yards into a meadow at the Siegaue Nature Reserve and raped her.
When the boyfriend called police, a female officer responded with "Hmm" and then asked "Where exactly is this rape happening?"
The police never arrived and the man was forced to watch his girlfriend get raped. After the attack he picked his girlfriend up and began walking along a main road for help. He even called the police a second time, but to no avail.
Frank Piontek, spokesman for the Bonn Police admitted the "incoming official in the control centre, after our findings, did not initially correctly categorize the circumstances of the first call and reacted inappropriately in her language."
A photofit picture and DNA testing eventually led to the arrest of the attacker. A CD player stolen from the tent was also found at the refugee center where the 31-year-old was staying. When police moved in to arrest him, he tried to flee, even throwing a stolen backpack at an officer.

Early childhood nutrition requires special attention because the weaning period is central to a child's development and growth. The Soybean innovation Lab (SIL) and its partners at the University for Development Studies (UDS) in northern Ghana have been collaborating to move towards commercial viability a new weaning food ComFA (Complementary Food for Africa) that combines high-energy orange flesh sweet potato with the high quality protein of soybean. SIL researcher, Dr. Juan Andrade, and UDS researcher, Dr. Francis Amagloh, conducted this research study to address the critical commercialization questions of acceptability and viability.
Research shows ComFA to be superior in terms of nutrition and cost effectiveness when compared to the current offerings, Cerelac and Weanimix. In this study, Amagloh and Andrade compare ComFA with Weanimix and Cerelac to answer the following three questions: 1) will mothers offer the ComFA to their children; 2) will the children consume the new nutritious food; and 3) is ComFA easier to prepare in the kitchen?
The research team recognizes that a new food will not catch on in a society and benefit a child if the child does not want to eat it or the mother does not want to serve it. Similarly, SIL researchers evaluated the feasibility of the food – would mothers be able and willing to make it at home? Discovering positive answers to both of these questions, SIL researchers produced this report to support development projects interested in scaling this nutritionally beneficial product, but also to promote to the development community the importance of a holistic product evaluation process that includes understanding the commercial attributes.
This report shares the evidence that ComFA's nutrition, acceptability, and feasibility positions it to improve complementary feeding in West Africa. However, this report also calls for the need to continue the evaluation of ComFA to address key questions for successful scaling in Ghana, as well as in other countries. In particular, the researchers will turn their attention next to understanding the comparative energy use efficiency and the relative ingredient availability.

Part VI - Where We're Going
by Phil and Genny DavisWell, now that I got all of the history and heavy spiritual stuff out of the way, this ought to be easy.
You may have guessed my first line regarding "Where we're going", which is "I'm not sure!" You probably have a good idea about my follow-up line, which is "…and that's OK with us!"
However, the truth is that we're not quite THAT free and easy. We want to seek God's will more and more and we realize he is calling us to draw closer to him. We don't have a master plan, but we have generally discussed a few things that I don't mind laying out here.
First of all, I do believe that it is a basic human trait that in order to have discipline in any endeavor, we generally need some sort of accountability. Accountability to another human being is a very powerful motivator. Along these lines, we will likely take the next step at Horizon Christian Fellowship and actually join a Home Fellowship, where we will meet weekly with a small group to study, pray and fellowship. We know that growth will be a result.
Next, we plan to be more structured in our life for Christ at home. I think this will be a natural result of drawing closer to God through the Home Fellowship. But, it's something we need to explicitly discuss and set goals. The focus of this effort is primarily for our children, secondarily for us.
Third, we plan to occasionally be involved in Christian-related growth opportunities outside of our local church. For instance, we plan to attend and perhaps volunteer at the Billy Graham Crusade that will be held in San Diego (perhaps his last one) at Qualcomm Stadium in May. Also, once our youngest son, Drew, is a little older (he's only 3 weeks old right now), we plan to take part in some Christian retreats. We have found there are many, many of these around, including (since we only have boys) mother/son, father/son, family and couples retreats. These are just a few examples.
Fourth, we do plan to remain at Horizon while we're in San Diego and look to attend a Calvary Chapel-affiliated church wherever our next duty station ends up being (we are up for orders in July 2005).
By the way, if you really want to know more of what the church we attend is about, you can visit their web site at www.horizonsd.org.
Finally, we plan to continue to seek to build healthy friendships. Part of this is continuing to encourage and support our friends who have left CFCMI, as well as those who remain involved. We don't plan to stop actively promoting what we believe to be true and factual about our experiences there. We know that it will continue to be controversial, and we don't mind.
As I've said ever since I started to get into Physics in college: "A little friction is a good thing".
That's all, folks.
Thanks for your patience, and please stay in touch.
Let me now close with a slight modification of my original DISCLAIMER:
I understand that many will be disappointed with us. I recognize that for a few, the things I have posted here may provide them with some sort of justification…a sort of "I told you so, I knew they were wrong" mindset. For others it may have been confusing. However, it has been my two-fold prayer that (1) for some, even if it's only one, our story will be an encouragement and perhaps a bit of confirmation, and that (2) for ALL it will be a catalyst for some degree of independent thought and self evaluation.
It has not been my purpose to convince anyone to adopt a particular belief. I have only sought to be as transparent and honest as possible in providing a picture of the experiences and thought processes that my wife and I have gone through in searching our souls during our first two years of freedom from CFCMI.
God bless you all.
Your friends,
Phil and Genny Davis

North Korea reopens long-disabled hotline to Seoul
A day after South Korea proposed high-level talks with the North over the participation of its teams in the upcoming Winter Olympics, the isolated nation responded by reopening its long-disabled hotline with Seoul on Wednesday.
While a long and tense stand-off between the two Koreas showed some signs of easing over the last week, U.S. President Donald Trump bragged about his "bigger nuclear button" in response to N. Korean leader Kim Jong-un's New Year threat speech, notes Reuters.
Despite the apparent diplomatic thaw in the Korean region, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, doubted the prudence of an inter-Korean dialogue, which takes place without the North's commitment to shun its nuclear weapons program, writes The Guardian.

There is hardly time to catch your breath as we move seamlessly from GW21 to GW22 and with so much to think about we could do with a week to fully prepare for the first Fantasy Premier League action of 2018.
2017 closed on a Man City great escape as they almost suffered their first defeat of the season except for legs of Ederson's penalty save preventing Crystal Palace from sealing a dramatic victory. The bigger news coming off the back of that game though is the potential 2 month injury to Gabriel Jesus and KDB also being stretchered off – although his injury is thought to be less serious.
With doubts over Mo Salah for GW22 (who also limped off the pitch this weekend) it looks like being a tough start to 2018 for many FPL managers. We haven't even mentioned Harry Kane's illness yet – so I hope you have your notepad ready!
With so much going on, we are going to try and keep it fairly simple this week and will just be bringing you this abridged tips article and a captain picks article which will go out shortly after this.
Double Game Week 22 Is Here
We have been pushing for a few weeks now to get you guys to have a clear strategy going in to this game week, but even the most well thought out strategies will be put to the test with all the injury concerns. Our preferred strategy was to have 2 free transfers going in to GW22 which then gives you the option of bringing 3 players in (if needed) for just a -4 points hit.
If you already have Kane sitting on your bench then you can get by with perhaps just one or two signings going in to this game week – and it is going to be a late call as to whether the England man gets the captaincy. Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Heung-Min Son and Marko Arnautovic are all our top picks out of the double game weekers with Eriksen being the player who is most likely to play every minute of both games. The Danish international has played every minute of his last 5 games for Spurs and will be crucial to their efforts this week.
Dele Alli has hit form at just the right time but rarely completes 90 minutes, whilst Son has started the last 6 games and will be a likely replacement for Kane should he miss the first game against Swansea.
Arnautovic is the West Ham pick with 5 goals in his last 5 games and as a £6.9m midfielder he is a top differential pick.
Will Harry Kane Be Fit For Swansea?
The question of whether Kane will be fit to face Swansea is on most FPL manager's lips and we are still no closer to knowing whether he will have overcome his illness in time for the game. The only blessing is that Spurs don't play until Tuesday so even if he is fit for training on New Year's Day he will most likely start the game.
Either way, he will almost definitely be fit for the game against West Ham and this alone could still warrant a captaincy selection in a normal game week – especially given his form (two hat-tricks in his last two games).
Our Other Top GW22 Picks
Away from the double game week players we have already mentioned we will be looking to the following players for good performances this week.
Sergio Aguero – A home game against Watford and finally almost guaranteed a starting place following the injury to Jesus. Aguero could be set to feature in a number of teams and is an excellent swap for Lukaku if you have him in your team.
Wilfried Zaha – Was still a handful against Man City and heads to Southampton next. He plays every minute and looks close to firing in a lot more points for himself in FPL and Palace in the league.
Mane – He has been used sparingly by Klopp over recent weeks and could be set for back to back games for the first time since GW17. A trip to Burnley won't be easy but could be another good week for the Liverpool attackers.
Jamie Vardy or Riyad Mahrez – These two have been pretty consistent this season after a slow start. Jamie Vardy will relish another opportunity in this game to add to his 9 goals this season whilst Riyad Mahrez has scored 6 and assisted 9 this season. A game against Huddersfield represents a good opportunity for these two past favourites.
Whatever you choose to do ahead of GW22 – set your team up the way you decide, have it set before your New Year celebrations begin – as you'd hate to forget to sort your team in the morning. In terms of Kane, we will endeavour to get news out in 'The Last Word' tomorrow morning – we will be discussing the idea of triple captain in our captain picks article.

With a different film screening every Wednesday in September in Otay Ranch Town Center's food court, ¡Que Viva! El Cine Latino is sure to be a great way for South Bay residents to send off the summer film season.
The film festival, now in its seventh year, is organized by Media Arts Center San Diego to showcase some of the most acclaimed films coming out of Latino Cinema which often get overlooked by American theater and film industries.
"There's more out there than just what Hollywood wants us to see," said Glenn Heath, the Media Center's programming manager. "I think alternative programming, trying to expand people's perspective beyond what the Hollywood marketing machine presents to us is important and I think San Diego has come a long way."
Film screenings are free and open to the public and will feature prescreening entertainment including live music from local artists and other special guests. The weekly showings start at 6:30 p.m. September 4, 11, 18 and 25 and will include four feature films and one documentary.
September 4: "No" – A dramatic retelling of how embattled Chilean President Augusto Pinochet's reign was brought to an end in 1988 starring Gael García Bernal. Directed by Pablo Larraín, the film is adapted from the unpublished play, El Plebiscito, written by Antonio Skármeta.
September 11: "Cinco de Mayo: la Battala" – A fictionalized account of the bloody history behind the now popular holiday. It is the story for how a few thousand Mexican patriots defended their country against what was the world's most powerful army.
September 18: "La Camioneta" – A documentary out of Guatemala that uncovers the process of turning decommissioned American school buses into the brightly-colored camionetas that transport the vast majority of Guatemalans to work each day. What unfolds is the journey of one such bus and the life threatening circumstances faced by the drivers.
September 25: "The Girl" – The story of an American woman (Abbey Cornish) who, after a series of bad decisions, stumbles into the life of young Mexican girl desperate to find her mother after they were separated crossing the border into the United States.

Maddi's parents made a decision about their 2-year-old daughter on "Toddlers & Tiaras." They decided that it was more important to have her competing in pageants than it was to have a home of their own. So they lived at Maddi's grandparents house.
"It's easier to do pageants if you're not paying rent," said her mother, Treshanda.
Maddie's grandfather lamented that none of the kids are paying any rent. But grandma said she's keeping all the receipts. "I'm going to start handing them the receipts so they can hand some of that back to me."
Even worse, the investment choice doesn't seem to be paying off. Treshanda was none too pleased with her daughter's first-runner-up performance.
"We didn't get a crown, so there's nothing to throw out the window," she said. Presumably, the winder of grandma and grandpa's house.
See more parents who pour everything into pageants on "Toddlers & Tiaras," Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on TLC.

The limited edition Crusher 360 delivers a one-of-a-kind, ultra-realistic audio experience with bass you can feel all around you.
Crusher 360 features patented Skullcandy technology that delivers a unique sensory vibration in your headphones. That's what we mean by 'bass you can feel.' This experience is especially amplified in music, video games and movies with powerful low end frequencies. If a deep sound occurs in your audio, you'll feel your headphones vibrate like a subwoofer.
Crusher 360 offers even deeper levels of sensory bass than the original Skullcandy Crusher. Some of the frequencies are so low you can't even hear them, but you'll be able to feel them. It's the deepest sensory bass experience of any headphone.
Crusher Wireless delivers sensory bass vibrations from 45Hz to 75Hz. Crusher 360 goes even deeper—delivering sensory vibrations from 20Hz to 100Hz.
Crusher 360 features some of the most leading edge audio technology available today—from sensor-based controls to accelerated battery charging.
Natural touch controls let you slide your finger up or down on the left earcup to adjust your bass experience.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) precisely controls the interaction between the audio drivers and the bass drivers to create the most powerful sound experience.
You get 3 hours of play from just 10 minutes of charging. And when fully charged, Crusher 360 delivers an incredible 29 hours of battery life.
Crusher 360 is a full-featured upgrade from the original Crusher. It's built with the finest materials—from a metal internal headband with diamond-cut edges to the most plush memory foam ear cushions.
We spend hundreds of hours designing, testing and perfecting every Skullcandy product in our Utah headquarters. But our engineers aren't your typical corporate lab-coat-wearing technicians. They're people who love music. They live for adventure. And they know what it's like to work on the go. Probably a lot like you.

Ive had the Original Crushers for a while which I thought were Great, Good Sound, Good Bass, Very Comfortable. The 360's are Unbelievable.
It is just insane . Upgraded from Crusher Wireless and it worth it . Totally different level of base and sound quality comparing to Crushers . These headphones are unbeatable 100%
The sound quality is good and the quality of base is impressive but after a few days the right ear up started to rattle when base was applied, therefore my opinion on the headphones has plummeted massively and I've had to contact warranty.
The bass is amazing. The sound quality is amazing. Period.
Already had the Crusher Wireless and the experience was amazing, but this is on a complete new level of sound.

Think you're ready to quit the rental market and get on the property ladder? Here are ten signs to make sure.
Table of Contents
- You've got a good debt to income ratio
- You've evaluated and understood the New York City housing market
- You're in love with a neighborhood (possibly your own)
- You know the NYC property tax code by heart
- You've been at your job for a while
- You hate your rental
- You know what you can afford – and you're ok with that
- Your industry is stable
- You have the money for a down payment
- You constantly browse for property online
You've got a good debt to income ratio
This is how much money you pay in monthly debt divided by your gross monthly income. It's a measure of how healthy you are financially and is usually the indicator banks use to decide how much (and at what rate) to lend you money. If your debt to income ratio is too high, you're unlikely to get the loan you want. Better to wait and get your debt under control before you move to buy.

You've evaluated and understood the New York City housing market
There's a constant demand for apartments in NYC, but even within this market, there are peaks and troughs. If you know the occupancy rate, the average price per neighborhood, and the three-year market trend of the top of your head, it might be time to get off the fence and into an apartment of your own.
You're in love with a neighborhood (possibly your own)
If you're absolutely in love with the neighborhood and you spend all your time there, you might be ready to buy. Buying is a huge commitment both emotionally and financially so you need to be sure you love where you're going to be living.
You know the NYC property tax code by heart
Taxes are a huge part of buying a property and are usually the thing that will tip browsers to buyers. If you know the property code for condos, co-ops, and apartments and know the tax map like you know subway lines, you either need to go into tax law or purchase an apartment.
You've been at your job for a while
And you're pretty sure it's not going anywhere. If you're looking at taking on the level of debt needed to buy an apartment, you should be relatively stable in your job and your industry to avoid a financial disaster down the line.
You hate your rental
Kitchens that don't quite work, showers that don't have any pressure, old paint – if these things about your rental niggle away at you, you might want to take a look at your finances and see if buying is in the cards. Sure, there will be problems with your new place – but when it's your own, you're in a much stronger position to fix them.
You know what you can afford – and you're ok with that
Controlling expectations is the first step towards actual apartment ownership. There's no sense in thinking that you want to buy an apartment, but only if you can buy a beautiful penthouse loft in Tribeca, that's three times what you can afford. If you've taken a hard look at your finances and are ok with what the numbers are telling you, it's a good sign to start seriously looking at property.
Your industry is stable
This is a hard one to evaluate since there's always a risk of disruptive technology closing a whole industry. But in general, does your industry provide a service that is hard or impossible for someone/something else to do? Second, does your industry feel like it's in a bubble? Are companies like yours vastly over-valued? If so, it might pay to hold off until you're more stable position.
You have the money for a down payment
A down payment is usually 10-20% of the value of your loan. What's more, a larger down payment will make your bid more competitive (especially relevant for co-ops). If you have or are planning on having that money available, then you might be ready to buy.
You constantly browse for property online
Do you constantly look for property online, 'just to see what's out there?' Then yes, it's time to make a move.
Buying a property is a huge step – both financially and emotionally. But if most of these describe you, it might be time to get out of your rental and take the plunge.

A company insider said there would be "no compromise on the RMS (revenue market share) front", adding that Airtel would continue to dish out "very competitive offers to fight Jio in the battle for revenue share amid ongoing sector consolidation", indicating that the market leader won't shy away from sacrificing profitability in the short term to gain RMS.
As per latest data by the regulator, Airtel's RMS is just over 31%, compared with around 37.5% for Vodafone and Idea combines, and 14.5% for Reliance Jio. Analysts estimate that around 400-450 bps RMS of the Vodafone-Idea combined entity could be vulnerable amid likely network disruption during integration of the two telcos. The merger is widely expected to close by May.
Airtel's efforts to garner additional RMS are likely to be backed by aggressive pricing offers, incentives for distributors and retailers, high decibel marketing campaigns and higher network capex infusions, the people said.
Airtel is likely to splurge Rs 24,000 crore on capex in FY19 — well over the Rs 16,000 crore in FY18 — primarily to bolster 4G networks, drive digitisation and ramp up its content play to ring-fence and grow its share of high-paying data customers in a fiercely competitive telecom market, one of the people said.
MD Gopal Vittal and chief operating officer Ajai Puri have been travelling extensively across states to enthuse Airtel circle heads and field teams to go flat out to achieve RMS gains and fight off Reliance Jio Infocomm's moves for the same Vodafone-Idea user base.
Airtel's leadership is learnt to have told its operations and marketing teams to keep the company's 2G, 3G and 4G networks in top shape and competitive tariff plans ready to target Idea and Vodafone customers who, the market leader believes, will be dissatisfied with coverage, post-merger, especially since merging carriers invariably see network turbulence in the initial months, often resulting in disruptions and a potential decline in coverage quality.
And the telecom regulator's efforts to ease and speed up the mobile number portability (MNP) process could drive RMS gains for both Airtel and Jio, said experts.
There's also an air of expectancy among Airtel's battery of distributors that the company will step up commissions to induce them to go the extra mile to poach Vodafone and Idea customers in the coming months.
"We are hopeful the company will increase commissions to make the chase for Vodafone and Idea's customers more lucrative," a leading metro-circle Airtel distributor told ET.
Such incentives, he said, could be in the form of "lump sum distributor payouts of Rs 10,000-12,000 for achieving higher targets relating to new customer activations, high value first recharges (HVFRC) and even Aadhaar-linked verifications".
Airtel declined to offer comment, saying it is "currently observing a silent period", ahead of fourth quarter results. Nitin Soni, director, Fitch, said Airtel could easily "take a short-term profitability dip in its stride to fight Jio and grab bulk of the 350-400 bps RMS" that he expects the Idea-Vodafone combined entity to lose due to "considerable post-merger network integration and branding challenges".
"Telcos round the world have focused on RMS gains even at the cost of shortterm profitability in a fiercely competitive pricing environment, and Airtel is likely to do the same, especially since recovering lost revenue share is always more difficult," said Soni.
Deutsche Bank estimates Airtel's revenue share to rise from 31.8% in FY18 to 35% by FY23, predicting a 450 bps decline in the Idea-Vodafone merged entity's RMS "due to execution issues in the first few years".

From Ingest to Search:
Part Two - Better Indexing
- Better search through better indexing
- Working with An Index Pipeline
- Re-index the dataset
- Search over entry titles
- Lessons Learned
- Next Steps
Before you begin, be sure to complete Part One.
In this part of the tutorial, we'll use Fusion to extract more information from the dataset and use it to improve the search experience. Better search starts with better indexing.
In Part 1, we configured a collection called "cinema_1", ingested the
cinema-short-abstracts.csv file, and explored the indexed data, all using the default configurations. Part One showed us that the default search experience is sub-optimal for users who don't already know the shape of the dataset. The defaults are a foundation on which to build well-tuned search applications customized for your unique dataset.
Better search through better indexing
Our search for "Star Wars" in Part One implied a search by title. The default search results couldn't be ranked by title because no title information was stored in the index. However, the index does include a
DBpediaURL_s field. Here are some examples of its values:
Notice that the URLs directly encode the entry title. Fusion can extract the entry title from these values and add it into the indexed Solr document to support search by title over the documents in the collection. The most efficient way to do this is to add processing stages to the index pipeline.
This part of the tutorial shows you how to add and configure index pipeline stages which extract information present in an existing field and store the result in a new field. We'll add two stages:
The Regex Field Extraction stage will extract the title string from the
DBpediaURL_sfield and add it as a new field called
The JavaScript stage will reformat the contents of the
title_txtfield for easier searching and better display.
Working with An Index Pipeline
The index pipeline development workflow goes like this:
The Search UI shows you what your indexed data currently looks like.
Use it to determine whether your data needs modification in order to be useful.
The Index Pipeline Simulator shows you a preview of how your data will be indexed, while you reconfigure the index pipeline.
When you save your changes here, they're only applied to incoming data. Existing data is not affected until you re-index it.
The Datasource configuration page is where you re-index your data.
You must always re-index your data in order to apply an updated index pipeline.
Return to the Search UI to verify that your index pipeline changes produced the desired results.
You can also view and configure your index pipelines by navigating to Home > Index Pipelines, though you won't get a preview of the output until you go to Home > Index Pipeline Simulator. Regardless of which tool you use to develop your pipeline, the data in your index will not be modified until you re-index it.
The default index pipeline for any collection is called
collection-default. So, the default pipeline for the collection we created in Part One is called
cinema_1-default. A default index pipeline consists of just two stages:
The Field Mapping stage provides provides field-level document cleanup. Fields can be renamed, combined, or deleted from the document.
The Solr Indexer stage sends the document to Solr for indexing into the collection.
Now we'll begin modifying the pipeline to get search results that include a title field.
Using regular expressions to create new fields from (parts of) existing ones
Our pipeline needs a Regular Expression Extractor stage to take the contents of a source field, match it against a regular expression, and copy any matches into a target field. We'll craft a regular expression which will extract the title string from the DBpedia URL.
Navigate to Home > Index Pipelines, if you haven't already.
Select the
From the Add an new pipeline stage menu, select Regex Field Extraction.
The Regex Field Extraction configuration screen appears.
Under Regex Rules, click the green add (+) icon.
Under Source Fields, click the edit icon.
The Source Fields window appears.
Click the green add (+) icon.
Enter "DBpediaURL_s".
Close the Source Fields window.
Under Target Field, enter "title_txt".
Under Regex Pattern, enter the following:
This regex matches the entire URL, with a capturing group that matches just the entry title.
Under Regex Capture Group, enter "1".
You may need to scroll to the right in order to see the Regex Capture Group field.
Click the Save button.
Using The Pipeline Simulator to Preview Results
Our data remains unchanged because we haven't re-indexed it. But we can use the Index Pipeline Simulator to preview the result of the change we made above.
Click Home > Index Pipeline Simulator.
Select your "ds1" datasource.
Click Start Simulation.
Check the results:
(Since the Pipeline Simulator uses a random sample from your data, you might see different field contents than those shown above.)
You can see that the new
title_txt field is created, and its contents match the last segment of the
DBpediaURL_s field.
But it's not formatted as an end user would expect. We need to change underscore chars to spaces. We can also see that non-ASCII characters are URI-encoded. For example, in the above screenshot, the string "%C3%81lvaro_de_la_Quadra" would be more readable to end users as "Álvaro de la Quadra".
Using JavaScript to modify field contents
For a custom string processing task like this one, we need to add a Javascript index pipeline stage. We can do this in the Index Pipeline Simulator.
Click the Add new stage button.
Select JavaScript.
The JavaScript stage configuration screen appears.
In the Script Body field, paste the following:
function(doc) { var orig = ""; var decoded = ""; var clean = ""; if (doc.hasField("title_txt")) { orig = doc.getFirstFieldValue("title_txt"); decoded = decodeURIComponent(orig); clean = decoded.replaceAll("_"," "); doc.setField("title_txt",clean); } return doc; }
Click the Save button.
In the Stages list, re-order the stages so that the JavaScript stage is after the Regex Field Extraction stage.
The Pipeline Simulator automatically re-loads the index preview using the modified pipeline:
Click Save pipeline and start import.
The Save Pipeline window appears.
Verify that Save over existing pipeline is selected.
Click Save pipeline.
Click Go to datasource.
Re-index the dataset
In order to apply our index pipeline changes to the dataset, it's necessary to clear the datasource and re-run the ingest job.
In the datasource configuration window, click Clear Datasource.
You will be prompted to confirm that you really want to do this. Clearing a datasource cannot be undone.
Click Yes, clear.
Verify that the collection is now empty:
Navigate to Home > Search.
Notice that the default wildcard search now returns no results.
The collection is empty.
Navigate to Home > Datasources.
Select the "ds1" datasource.
Click Start Crawl.
When the Status indicator displays "Finished", click Job History.
Click the most recent job to display its details.
Verify that the output field contains the correct number:
output: 155298
Click Close to close the job history window.
Search over entry titles
Now let's test the search results using our new
title_txt field.
Navigate to Home > Search.
title_txt:"Star Wars".
We're getting closer to a useful search experience for this dataset.
Lessons Learned
Improved indexing leads to better search. Adding a field containing the Wikipedia entry title to all documents in the collection allows users to search for articles by title.
Building Index Pipelines
Using Regular expressions to extract embedded information from existing fields in a document
Using custom JavaScript processing to encapsulate
