B.C. Education Coaching Income Tax Credit Frequently Asked Questions
The following information will help answer your questions about the B.C. education coaching tax credit.
Do I have to be a full-time teacher in a qualifying school to be eligible for the credit?
No. You could work part-time as a teacher in a qualifying school. If you have supervised or coached students in an extracurricular activity for at least 10 unpaid hours in a year, you may claim the credit.
Can a teacher of a preschool claim the credit?
No. A preschool is not a qualifying school, therefore a teacher working in a preschool is not eligible to claim the credit.
I am a school employee and have supervised students in extracurricular activities. Am I eligible?
It depends. To be eligible to claim the credit, you have to be a teacher, teaching assistant, principal or vice principal of a school, and your work of supervising students in extracurricular activities has to be unpaid.
I am a school teacher and have coached students at soccer matches with another school during school hours. Does this qualify?
If this activity is performed during school hours, it is not eligible. However, if the extracurricular activity happens after school hours or on a weekend and you are not paid for the out-of-school time, you may claim the credit if the total hours of unpaid coaching are more than 10 hours.
I am a school teacher, and I coach (unpaid) a dance club composed of students from different schools on weekends. Does this qualify?
You may claim the credit if:
- The students are Kindergarten to Grade 12 students from a qualifying school
- You are not paid to coach the students, and
- The total hours of coaching are more than 10 hours
I was a school teacher but I retired in the year. Can I still claim the credit?
You may still claim the credit in the year of retirement if you met all other conditions before you retired (and you are a B.C. resident on December 31).
Do unpaid coaching hours incurred in January and February 2015 prior to the Budget date count?
Yes, the credit is effective January 1, 2015.

Boys and girls undergo a number of physical changes during puberty, most notably the development of secondary sexual characteristics. These changes don't all happen at once. As is common knowledge, girls generally go through puberty earlier than boys. Girls usually enter puberty somewhere between 9 and 13 years old, while boys tend to enter puberty sometime between 10 and 14 years old.
The average age for girls to begin to develop breasts is 11 years old. Breast development is normally a girl's first indicator of puberty. In some cases, pubic hair may begin to grow first, but this is rare. Even with the breasts developing first, pubic hair growth often begins shortly thereafter, around a few months later. A girl's breasts will reach nearly full growth around two years after they've begun to develop and reach their final size a few years after that; meaning, the average girl will have fully developed breasts by the time she is 15 years old. Menstruation will usually begin roughly two years after the onset of puberty, which means around 13 years of age for most girls.
The earliest sign of puberty for boys is usually testicular growth, although this will normally occur so closely to the first growth of pubic hair, you'll probably notice the pubic hair first. The average age for boys to begin puberty is 12 years old. The voice will begin to crack around a year later, developing into the full, mature voice in two more years. Armpit hair will follow around two years into puberty, with facial hair coming around four years into puberty. The wet dreams should start a year or two into puberty.
If a child enters puberty early, it's called precocious puberty. If a child shows no signs of puberty by age 13 for girls or 14 for boys, it's considered delayed puberty. Regardless of when a child's puberty actually begins, the timing and sequence of the developments will likely proceed in the same manner.

Worldwide Volcano News and Updates:
As the Geophysical Institute of Quito reports, strombolian activity at Tungurahua volcano and its seismicity have been increasing over the past days. On 28 June, 86 explosions were counted by the seismic network. In nearby villages, strong pressure waves could be felt from some of the explosions. A weak steam and ash plume is present over the summit and during the night, incandescent blocks are seen to be thrown out of the crater to heights of approximately 100 meters.
Karymski volcano remains the most active volcano on Kamchatka with frequent strong strombolian to vulcanian-type explosions producing ash plumes up to 3-4 km altitude.Read more...
During the past weeks and months, Stromboli has continued to show extraordinarily high activity as several groups of VolcanoDiscovery have observed.
During a visit on 24 June, 9 active vents were counted: two active vents in the NW crater (towards Ginostra), one of which exploded with tremendous noise every 20-30 minutes, throwing powerful jets of burning gas followed by large amounts of spatter to heights of up to 3-400 m, showering the OUTER rims of the crater terrace. A neighboring vent, a few meters away from it, is normally not visible, but when it erupted, it had the appearance of the ground opening and emitting glowing ash that slowy rose, blackened and created small ash plumes.
In the central crater, 4 visible glowing vents and one hidden behind the wall were active, the most prominent being the tall cone in the NE corner of the complex. The NE cone was spattering constantly, throwing spatter to considerable 50-100 m height. This activity was interupted every 5-10 minutes by strong, hissing fountains lasting up to 20 seconds, and thowing incandescent material to up to about 250 height. At times, the force of the fountain activated a second vent next to it, on the SE side of the cone, apparently serving as an additional valve whenever the output rate during the fountains from the cone itself becomes too large. Two other vents in the central crater complex were large, constantly glowing holes, but showed only occasional weak spattering and erupted only rarely strombolian bursts of spatter to 100-150 m height. A fith vent is not visible from Pizzo, but on a visit on 15 June, it was observed to erupt spatter occasionally to about 100 m height (about once per hour).On 25 of June, it was not erupting.
Last, there were two active vents in the NE crater (towards the village of Stromboli), one of which erupts spectacularly about every 20-30 minutes, throwing lots of incandescent bombs towards the E, showering the outer crater slope with bombs. These eruptions also produced dense ash clouds.
Etna continues its worrying slumber. After an isolated phreatic explosive event in January, the diafragma separating Bocca Nuova crater and the Voragine (the former Central crater) as well as the wall separating the two craters inside Bocca Nuova have mostly collapsed, leaving what is now best described as one single central crater with several pits and vents at considerable depth.
Several VolcanoDiscovery groups visited Etna on various occasions over the past weeks, and found strong degassing taking place from fractures in the walls and the bottoms of the various vents inside the central crater, as well as audible but deep-seated explosive activity inside North-East crater.
The eruption of Merapi is increasing in intensity and has claimed the first deaths: Two people were killed on Wednesday 14 June, 2006, by a particularly strong pyroclastic flow that reached the area, travelling almost 7 km from the summit. The two men managed to run into a shelter at the village of Kaliadem, east of Kinahrejo near Bebeng, on the SE flank of the volcano, but were trapped inside because flow covered the shelter with about 2 meters of hot deposits. Although they survived for a while, the heat of the deposits effectively baked them to death. Recue workers tried for over 24 hours to free them, interrupted only when new pyroclastic flows were theatening to reach the area again. When the shelter was dug out free, they could only find the dead bodies. The flow also damaged some buildings, which is the first time, the eruption affected structures and villages as well.Read more... Lees alle
After less than 24 hours, the alert level of Merapi volcano has been raised back again to the highest status of 4 on June 14, 2006. The decision followed a marked increase in activity with more frequent and longer pyroclastic flows travelling up to 3 km down the SW and SE flanks of the volcano.
Karymsky volcano remains the most active volcano on Kamchatka, with strong strombolian to vulcanian activity, often producing ash-loaden plumes reaching 4-5 km altitude.
Weak activity continues at Kanlaon volcano: Between 3 and 12 June, 4 small phreatic explosions occurred at the summit crater of Kanlaon volcano (3 June, 10 June, 2 times on 12 June). The explosions produced mainly steam and gas as well as small quantities of ash to heights up to 1000 m. Light ash-fall occurred on the upper slopes of the volcano. An exclusion zone of 4 km around the crater is being maintained. --->more on Kanlaon volcanoRead more...
Merapi has quieted down a bit after part of the lava dome collapsed on Friday evening. Less numbers and smaller pyroclastic flows have been recorded since the event that removed approximately 1/3 of the lava dome. As a result, VSI has downgraded the alert status from 4 to 3 on 13 June 2006 at 11.00 WIB.Read more...
Volcanic activity at Merapi continues to increase gradually since the earthquake of 27 May 2006, with the growing lava dome shedding glowing lava avalanches and pyroclastic flows that increase in number.Read more... Lees alle

The TSX Venture Exchange has just launched a web-based electronic filing system dubbed "V-File" designed to speed up the processing of submissions to the TSX-V. Issuers will initially only be able to submit price reservations and notices of private placement through V-File, but other types of submissions may follow later.
To use V-File, a director or officer of an issuer needs to first register as principal contact and then invite and grant access to other users (who must first also sign up) such as corporate administrators or filing solicitors so that they can V-File on behalf of the issuer. The principal contact can then, if desired, delegate administration functions to other users to manage the issuer's profile.
The V-File home page will be unique for each user and will provide real-time information about the status of V-Filed submissions that are accessible to them.
V-File makes private placement submissions easier by automatically filling-in known information about an issuer such as tier of listing, market price of the issuer's shares, and the issued and outstanding share amount. The online version of the private placement notice form on V-File is dynamic and will correspondingly change depending on the information that the user has entered. For example, if the user indicates that warrants will be issuable, an additional tab on the screen will appear to enable the user to enter information about the warrants to be issued. Users can save submissions in draft and edit them later before finalizing and submitting them to the TSX-V.
Before submitting the private placement notice, issuers will need to make the same declarations and acknowledgements as they would on the paper version. A user who is not a director or senior officer of an issuer will need to certify that he or she is a duly appointed and authorized agent of the issuer for the purposes of completing the filing and making the declaration on behalf of the issuer.
The V-File system will automatically check for non-compliance with TSX-V policies when a submission is filed and immediately notify a user of policy non-compliance (which the user can then immediately correct) and calculate the requisite filing fees as well. The TSX-V is still working on the electronic payment system and users for now will have to pay filing fees as they currently would when filing by paper - by cheque or wire transfer.
After a user has submitted a filing, V-File will send email alerts whenever significant events occur in relation to the filing, such as when the TSX-V sends a comment letter or has given acceptance of the filing.
The TSX-V will be eliminating expedited private placement filings which have become redundant as a result of V-File. Issuers using V-File will also no longer be required to file corporate placee registration forms but users will need to enter into the appropriate V-File screen the equivalent information for corporate placees who will hold 5% or more of the issued and outstanding listed shares of the issuer on the closing of the private placement calculated in accordance with the requirements of the private placement notice form.
Participation is voluntary for now and issuers, corporate administrators or filing solicitors wishing to participate should contact the TSX-V to get set up for V-File. We encourage you to read the amendments to TSX-V Policy 4.1 that came into effect on Jan. 26, 2015, which reference V-File in the private placement context.

French Collector Buys Silver-Plated Duck Press for $45,000
Going once… going twice…
Life is full of luxuries for those who can afford them. And to one deep-pocketed person, an antique device designed to squeeze blood and bone marrow from a duck carcass is worth €40,000 ($45,000). That's what a French collector spent at auction on Monday for a silver-plated duck press from legendary Paris restaurant La Tour d'Argent, according to thelocal.fr.
La Tour d'Argent is a Michelin-starred restaurant on Paris' river Seine whose signature "Canard a la Presse," or pressed duck, has been served an estimated 1.15 million times since 1890. The duck press, which was one of four owned by the Left Bank restaurant, was manufactured in the 19th-century by Christofle and inscribed with the restaurant's famous emblem.
Curious to see a similar press in action? If you're not squeamish, watch below.

We're in the process of building a brewery.
We have 3 nice stainless steel tanks, 2x 300L (mash and boiler) and 1x 100L (HLT).
Most of the element will be wired and controlled by a PLC. It's not very opensource but since I use them in my day job I'm way more efficient with this kind of stuff than the arduino/raspberry coding.
But back to the supports:
The idea is to build 3 modules of 1x1m so we can move them easily to clean and maintenance.
The main challenge is the weight. The supports needs the hold about 350Kg (tank full + electrical component). The the floor is not level I need adjustable feet.
I started with 20x80 profiles placed vertically. Here's the first version:
Left to right:
100L tank with space under for pumps and valves.
300L mash tank. The structure is for a small hoist because there is a motorized mixer on the top of the tank who need to be removed during cleaning.
The 4 linear actuators are a concept for lift the tank (only when empty of water) so we don't have to crawl to access the hatch and remove the malt. When the tank is full the actuator are locked all way down.
300L for boiling is quite simple.
Mash tank without lifting function.
I use the v slot load calculator regarding the weight on a single 20x80 profiles but I'm a lit lost with the results: with a 350kg on 1 meter distributed load:
Deflection X 271.56 mm
Deflection Y 18.53 mm
I suppose it flex down of 18.5mm if I put 350Kg on a single profile ? I may need help about that.
Do you think the 3 profiles on my design will hold the weight ?

Husson headlines the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) women's cross country pre-championship poll, as voted by the league's head coaches. The Eagles received five first-place votes and 60 points, followed very closely by UMaine-Farmington with the remaining three first-place votes and 59 points.
UMaine-Presque Isle was predicted to finish third with 46 points, Northern Vermont-Lyndon fourth with 39 points, and Maine Maritime Academy fifth with 36 points.
Completing the poll are SUNY Canton (22) in sixth, Thomas (15) in seventh, and Northern Vermont-Johnson (11) in eighth.
The NAC Championship race will be held this Sunday, October 28th at the renowned Festival of Champions Course at Troy Howard Middle School course in Belfast, Maine. Hosted by Maine Maritime Academy, the women's race set to begin at 11:00 am, followed by the men's race at noon.
2018 NAC Women's Cross Country Championship Preview
Click the school name to be directed to the men's golf section of each school's website.
1. Husson (60 points / 5 first place votes)
In her fifth year as head coach, Kate Goupee looks to continue a successful streak at the 2018 Championship with another top finish. In the 2017 season, the Eagles finished in fourth place overall at the NAC Championship with two student-athletes claiming top-15 finishes and All-NAC accolades. Returner Lindsey Joliat (Brewer, Maine) took 9th overall in 2017, and cruised into 2018 year posting two top-six times, including a second place finish at the Keene State Rust Buster, and helping the Eagles "take the cake" at the Mariner Invitational in week two. The junior earned NAC Runner of the Week honors following her 6k time at the RSEQ AUS Interlock Meet at New Brunswick, Canada in early October. Two other Eagles to look out for, junior Julia Glisson (Merrimack, N.H.) and rookie Isabelle Jackson (Presque Isle, Maine) kept up the pace on the course, earning top-ten finishes at two meets this fall. Glisson earned NAC Runner of the Week honors after her second-place time at the Mariner Invitational.
2. UMaine-Farmington (59 points / 3 first place votes)
First-year head coach Joe DiSalvo, leads the reigning NAC runner-up team. The Beavers had a strong start to the season at the Mariner Invitational, finishing second place in a close and competitive race. The Beavers have focused on a consistent season, progressing through each meet. The Beavers had a strong showing at the Bowdoin Invitational, where many runners ran personal best times in the 6k, despite very poor weather conditions. Runners to watch include Gwen Baker (Windham, ME), who has continuously improved for the Beavers and performs as a consistent #1/#2 runner for the team. Julia Labbe (Turner, ME) and Chloe Kenyon (Glocester, MA) have also had strong seasons thus far, helping to lead the charge for the Beavers.
3. UMPI (46 points)
Veteran Coach Chris Smith is in his 29th year as women's cross country head coach at the University of Maine-Presque Isle. The Owls finished 10th of 11 teams in the 2017 NAC championship race and have shown significant improvement in 2018, adding more depth and talent to the roster this year. Freshman Valentine Degiovanni (Nice, France) has set the pace for the Owls, running consistently and capturing the title in several races leading up to the NAC Championship including the UMPI Invitational September 1, the Mariner Invitational September 8, and the Thomas Invitational October 19. She swept Rookie and Runner of the Week honors the first week of the season and snagged four additional Rookie of the Week honors in four of the next seven weeks. The women's tight top five pack time is a key to success at the Championship.
4. Lyndon (39 points)
Decorated head coach Chris Ummer is in his 26th season leading the Hornet women. Lyndon looks to improve upon last year's 5th place finish at the NAC Championship and claim their first NAC title in 2018. The Hornets have run a competitive schedule this fall, led by three-time NAC Rookie of the Week and one-time Runner of the Week Zosia Prince (Sutton, VT) and Rachel Valentine (Clarksdale, AZ).
5. Maine Maritime (36 points)
Head Coach Ryan King is leading the Mariners in his eighth season. Maine Maritime finished sixth at the 2017 NAC Championship, led by Sierra James (Campton, N.H.) who placed 17th out of the 95 runners. The Mariners return the top three finishers from last year's NAC Championship team. This fall, the Mariners have been preparing for the NAC Championship race by competing at difficult courses against talented programs, and have set sites on a strong performance on their home course in 2018.
6. SUNY Canton (22 points)
Head Coach John Kennedy leads the SUNY Canton women's cross country program in his 10th year with the program. Senior captain Madeline Hewitt (Fabius, NY) has led the Roos in every race she has run this season. The Fabius, New York native clocked a season-best 6-kilometer time of 27:01 at the Roos home invitational to finish in 20th place. The Roos best finish of the season came when they placed third out of five teams at the Castleton Invitational on September 8th.
7. Thomas (15 points)
Thomas is led by 10-year head coach Kerry Smart. Thomas has made great strides this season with a young squad. Freshman Olivia Wallace (Jonesboro, Maine) has been the Terriers top performer, with her best finish (12th place) coming at the UMaine-Augusta Invitational. The Terriers will look to build off an 11th place finish at last year's NAC Championship.
8. NVU-Johnson (11 points)
Coach Shawn Woods is in his seventh season at the helm for the Badgers, who finished 9th out of 11 teams in 2017. The 2018 team continues to grow and has been bolstered by the return of Senior Lily Denmeade, who returned to the team late in the season. She will be helped by senior Sarah Sodaro ( Monkton, VT) and junior Emily Cass ( Braintree, VT) as they fight for a competitive finish.

Roll of Honour
The Roll of Honour is a mark of Achievement!
We celebrate all diving ranks and recognise the effort that it takes some to get to those levels.
Master Scuba Diver
This is a significant step in any divers journey, signifying they have completed not only 50 logged dives, but have also achieved the rating of Rescue diver and gained five specialty ratings! - Often considered as a black belt within the diving fraternity, affording some professional courtesy when diving abroad. Take the PADI Master Scuba Diver™ challenge?
TAL divers also recognise that many divers wish to continue way beyond the Master Scuba Diver level and so we have developed recognition for these diving heroes with two further levels:
Elite Diver
A diver who has obtained the Master Scuba Diving rating and then an additional 50 dives (100 in total) and a further 5 specialties (10 in total). Not an easy feat and one worth celebrating! Can you acheive Elite Diver Status
Ultimate Diver
This is top level diving! The Ultimate diver has logged a minimum of 150 dives, An Elite Diver with an additional 5 specialty ratings, making a total of 15.. These really are the people to ask for advice! - they have been there and done that, very few make it this far.

Right off the bat, there's one thing you need to know, which is that I'm all about the science. Although I'm open to other views, when it comes to testing what works in a therapeutic setting, I'm team science all-the-way!
I'm going to tell you a little of what brought me to the work I love doing today, and as you read down the page I hope you'll agree, that over the decades I've earned my stripes. I've been there, done that, and definitely got the t-shirt.
I work mostly with professional women of 40+ aiming to sort out their eating, weight, and feelings about body image, that have been going on for the longest time, sometimes decades.
There's a strong link between being overweight, stress, and health issues, and if you're acquiring more symptoms as you age then you'll want to look at including those issues during sessions, in order to get-off-the-hamster-wheel of sporadic dieting and exercise regimes.
By using the approach found here, you'll be able to go back to those, once you've changed your repetitive unconscious behaviours, where this will help you to:
- Discover your true motivation
- Become energised
- Regain your health
- Find your vitality
- Be able to get slimmer once and for all
It's important that we're a good match in making the substantial changes you want, which we can assess by having a free chat, that you can arrange by clicking here.
Weight loss can be complex
Because weight loss can be quite complex, especially when you've struggled with it for the longest time, I know there will be times when you've blamed yourself. That has to stop!
Instead, think of it like this; there is a multi-billion-dollar-industry that ties people into the myths of diet and exercise as the-be-all-and-end-all.
Admittedly those approaches work for some people, but they don't work for everyone, and when dieting hasn't worked for you, the last thing you need is to start another one.
Because when diets fail you, it means you're barking up the wrong tree, looking for solutions in all the wrong places, and hoping that repeating your actions with another eating plan will bring about a different outcome.
Why is nothing working?
You can hardly be blamed for not knowing who to listen to, or where to turn for your own solutions, you might be thinking that as you're reading through this right now. But I absolutely welcome your scepticism, because it's a great gauge for measuring your success, as you make very real progress moving back into renewed energy, vitality, good health, as you lose weight.
One clue as to why you might find dieting a real struggle is because you've missed a VITAL step that comes beforehand:
For many people clearing what drives poor eating patterns is the route to a successful dieting outcome!
I hope this page offers up an insight or two, I've shared some personal stuff, in the hopes of you knowing that what's happening to you is not your fault. I've been there, and I can successfully lead you through this complex maze.
Finally, before I start sharing my story, if you have any chronic health symptoms running alongside your weight-related issues, you need to deal with them at the same time.
You may not have thought of your weight as a health symptom, but it cannot be compartmentalised away from any other chronic symptoms you have coming and going.
When it comes to changing your weight and improving your health,
you'll definitely benefit from an umbrella approach,
in order to get the lasting results you're craving.
Combining my continual personal and professional experience has culminated in the unique service offered here!
My background
I searched for the longest time, for answers to my own questions, regarding my low self-esteem, lack of self belief, a collection of unwanted habits, and not being comfortable in my own skin.
I stopped smoking in my 30's (having taken it up very early). Next I undertook a well-known dieting plan, and having reached target within 6-mths, I next upped-sticks and left Manchester for Kent, where my nieces were growing up by the south-east coast.
I haven't craved a cigarette since, but food took over and my weight continued to increase. After several more attempts, I became even heavier and realised that dieting was not MY answer.
It felt too hard
There was too much denial
When I dieted … all I wanted to do was
EAT what was forbidden.
Once I'd reached target
I just wanted to indulge and treat myself as a reward
After all …
overeating was how I celebrated every high and marked every low!
Is this for you?
You're in the right place if you're a professional women of 40+ suffering with your own health challenges, such as:
- anxiety
- allergies
- depression
- digestion
- eating disorders
- exhaustion
- food cravings
- low self-confidence (when you're placed outside your comfort zone)
- menopause
- moodiness
- not reaching your preferred weight goals despite your best efforts
- out-of-sync eating
- raging hormones
- relentless worrying
- sexual problems
- sleeplessness
- skin issues
- unfulfilled relationships
- weight related illness
My goal is to help women who are tired of the search, bored with trying plan after plan without finding anything that makes a real difference.
Earlier in my life
Growing up in the Manchester suburbs in 1950's was fairly uneventful, except I know in hindsight that my family was dysfunctional, despite their best intentions. And it's far more common than I ever realised?
My father passed away when I was 13-yrs old and as anyone who's lost a parent early on, it changes many things, in many ways.
This is what happened to me:
I'd been an exemplary student until his death
I loved school
On the day of his funeral I was sent back to school instead.
It was pivotal to everything that would come from this point onwards!
Since learning more about how we're wired
I understand exactly what was going on bio-chemically
in my brain, in my mind, in my body.
I experienced a biological and psychological shift that changed everything!
How life unfolded in this direction
- Worked for a decade as a Youth Trainer (and ran a training kitchen)
- I took the CGLI 706-1 and can put together a decent soup, sauce and stock
- I booked banqueting staff at Sacha's Hotel in Manchester (while on the degree)
- At 40 I qualified as a BSc (Hons) Home Economist
My degree covered:
- Recipe development
- Packaging and labeling
- Chemistry, physics, biology
- Dietetics and nutrition
- From Autumn 2015 I'll train as a naturopathic nutritionist
NB: Currently I'm unqualified in this area, but I have excellent resources included at the VIP Coaching level.
In 2004 I took an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) course with Richard Bandler (the co-creator of NLP) & Paul McKenna that unwittingly started the next very significant chapter.
It kick-started a deeper more meaningful foray into how we tick (a life-long interest) and the realisation that the subconscious mind is always listening, to whatever we program into it, and the language we use, especially in terms of self-talk.
Why am I spilling the beans?
If you're looking for better methods in finding your way out too, of what for me was a maze of family decisions, life choices, and not knowing who you are (on the inside), I have discovered some of the best methods available anywhere today.
In recognition of the fact that we all have stories; the stories that others have told us, the stories we tell ourselves, and some stories shape us into who we think we are, yet they're often built on myths that are unhelpful and often hold us back.
And I'm happy to report that there's a proverbial light
at the end of that particular tunnel
and I'd love to support you in
changing the habits that you've outgrown in your-own-story
I want to encourage you to know that the findings I've uncovered since taking that NLP training have turned into a phenomenal journey of personal discovery. And one that I love sharing with my clients and students.
The tools and techniques found here will help transform you, if that's what you're looking for, they'll break you free of the spinning-top of symptoms that pervade your energy and mental clarity.
The services I provide allow you to find your true purpose in life and start living from a place of passion, in a more connected and integrated way.
What's stopping you?
The question to ask yourself is, can you wait for western-medicine to catch up with our absolute ability to make deep, lasting change with the right tools and techniques, or have you had enough of that and feel ready to start getting rid of what's not working for you right now?

Basic Grey + Curio = Knickknackery
As you know, I ♥ all things Basic Grey. I can't seem to get enough of them. I think I may have or be in the process of making a quilt in every line they've ever come out with. I love, Love, LOVE Basic Grey!!!!
Above is an original pattern that I am working on using Basic Grey Curio line from Moda
It will be 54" x 54" and has a working title of Knickknackery
What do you heart? What can you not get enough of? What will you drive a 100 miles just to get?
Please note the colors may be off as I took the photos at night.
Until next time,

Shoot! Everything. Quilt shops and even JoAnn's is a 3 hour trip for me! Thank goodness for online shopping! Curio is fabulous, isn't it? I love the colors.ReplyDelete
that is a lovely line!! If I drove 100 miles I'd be in the sea!!! ;)ReplyDelete
Looking forward to seeing your design!
When do you ever have time to work?ReplyDelete
Hi Charlie,ReplyDelete
Love your quilt design and the fabric. Just found your blog from a retweet from Basic Grey. I have been quilting since 1992 and scrapbooking since 2000 but did not realize until this year that Basic Grey had a quilt line too. They have been my favorite scrapbooking co for a long time. No local quilt shop, I live just north of you in St. Joseph, MO. I used to work & play at Liberty Quilt shop but it closed several years ago:( Glad to find your blog, will be following. I have several UFO's that need put together and a few more that only need quilting. Need to get back in to quilting, not just my paper crafting. Too little time, too many things I love to do.
Happy Quilting!
I love your blog Charlie!!!! Thanks for doing it for all of us!ReplyDelete
I'm doing Fig Tree's Saltwater Taffy in Curio right now. I, too, love all things Basic Grey.ReplyDelete

A chemical-free eradication method for the human malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, that is self-sustaining and requires no additional inputs beyond 'pushing the button' to get it started, sounds fantastic.
For geneticists it has not been terribly difficult to think of ways this could be accomplished but putting theory to practice has been a different matter altogether.
Galizi and collaborators (2014) report laboratory results that show significant progress has been made in assembling the right genetic bits and pieces, and getting all of them to behave as planned in Anopheles gambiae. Using insect genetic modification technologies they 'made' a strain of Anopheles gambiae which, when released into caged populations in the laboratory, cause those populations to go extinct in less than 10 generations.
Here is how they did it.
Galizi et al. have been working with an enzyme (I-PpoI) found in a common slime mold, Physarum polycephalum. This enzyme is called a homing endonuclease or a meganuclease and while the biology of these enzymes and the genes that encode them are interesting in their own right, Galizi et al. were only interested in the fact that this enzyme could cut DNA at specific sequences that are very rare in most genomes.
These investigators found quite by chance that some essential genes (ribosomal RNA genes) on the X chromosome of Anopheles gambiae contained cleavage sites for I-PpoI.
Galizi et al. did two things at this point.
First, they did some clever protein engineering to make a version of I-PpoI that was very unstable and quickly lost activity soon after it was made. This was actually a key piece of the puzzle.
Second, they inserted the gene encoding this unstable I-PpoI into the genome of Anopheles gambiae using fairly routine methods (transposon vectors) such that the gene would only be expressed in developing sperm. Technically, they accomplished this by using the promoter from the gene beta-Tubulin, which is expressed only during sperm development, to regulate the expression of I-PpoI. So, I-PpoI was only made in developing sperm.
The system works like this. In Anopheles gambiae, females are XX and males are XY. In males with the sperm-specifically-expressed I-PpoI the X chromosomes are cut and destroyed by the enzyme, resulting in sperm that only carry Y-chromosomes. Normal females found in nature (XX) mated to these males will only produce males (XY) since none of the sperm contain X-chromosomes. Because the I-PpoI used in this experiment was highly unstable it quickly became inactive and consequently had no affect on the X chromosomes in the male embryos of the next generation until they too began to make sperm.
The upshot of this is that every time a male expressing I-PpoI mates to a female, only males expressing I-PpoI will be produced. They will mate with females and only produce males and eventually the population "crashes" because there are no more females – at least this is how it is suppose to work and Galizi et al's results in the laboratory showed that this was pretty much how it did worked.
An attractive feature of this insect control strategy is its self-sustainability. A small introduction of these "special" males could initiate a chain reaction that spreads through the pest population resulting in its extinction.
There is more to be done to investigate this system in the laboratory but Galize et al. have created a pest control system that had been theorized many years ago. This is a nice example of the use of insect genetic technologies and their application to a problem of great significance.

The Refuge
Shortly after the former Chouteau Elementary School closed, John 3:16 Mission was able to purchase the property totaling almost 160 acres and the school buildings. Currently, our administrative offices, Renew Recovery Program for Women, and our social enterprise/vocational training program, BeeLoved Trading are operating out of The Refuge. Eventually, the site will also house the live-in recovery programs for both men and women, allowing us to do even more restorative ministry in Jesus's name. The Mission's downtown Tulsa overnight shelter and Family & Youth Center in North Tulsa will remain where they currently are.
We have dreamed for years of moving the recovery programs for men and women out of the harshness of the downtown Tulsa environment and The Refuge is the ideal location. It is only minutes from the overnight shelter but is in a very beautiful, peaceful rural section of the city that is much more conducive to full recovery and life transformation.
With fields of grass, grain, woods, a stocked fish pond, multiple beehives – this property truly is a place of peace, a refuge.

The President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has given the assurance that his government will ensure the passage of the Right To information Bill (RTI) by Parliament.
President Akufo-Addo said the passage of the Bill into law would encourage citizens to hold government accountable and ensure greater transparency in governance.
He was speaking at the Africa Open Data Conference in Accra, Thursday.
He disclosed that his government had begun the implementation of recommendations made at the Forum on Ghana Road Map for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in April 2017 which sought to enable Ghana monitor the progress of attainment of the SDG goals.
The recommendations, he said, included addressing data gaps; building the administrative data system, strengthening census and surveys and pioneering the use of new types of data, and encouraging data use i.e., creating an interactive feedback loops between producers and users.
The others, the President said, were making data more available, providing training in key areas, demonstrating the potential of data to achieve development outcomes and strengthening data ecosystems; co-ordinating the establishment of strategic partnership and creating a harmonized policy and enabling environment.
President Akufo-Addo noted that 2017 had been a year of great expectations and promise for Africa adding, "it's been a year of dramatic changes and consolidation in the governance landscape of Africa."
More also than any other period, he said, in the history of Africa, democracy and freedom were providing the appropriate political, social and economic platform for Africa's long awaited development."
The President noted also that for the first time in West Africa, all 15 member states of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) had democratically elected governments in place.
This development, he said, had boosted the confidence of some of them that democracy, freedom, progress and prosperity were what would define Africa's 21st century.
President Akufo-Addo said the availability and use of information and data was a critical component for Africa to succeed in improving the living standard of its people.
He noted that Ghana signed onto the open data government partnership in 2011 which declared open data as a focus area in order to achieve transparent and accountable governance, and that in 2012, the country embarked on its open data journey to create a community of data suppliers and uses.
The President said Ghana's goal to adopt the international open data charter would ensure that government's data was easily accessible.

ACT Offers First Accommodations for English-Language Learners
ACT Inc., announced Monday that it will provide, for the first time, accommodations for English-learners who take its college-entrance exam.
The options will become available in the fall of 2017. Students will have to apply for them through their school counselor's office. The accommodations announced Monday include:
- More time on the test: up to time-and-a-half
- Use of an approved word-to-word bilingual glossary (one that has no word definitions)
- Testing in a non-distracting environment (i.e., in a separate room)
- Test instructions provided in the student's native language (including Spanish and a limited number of other languages initially)
In the past, the Iowa-based testing company has not offered accommodations based solely on a student's limited English proficiency. The company said in a statement that the purpose of the new accommodations is to "help ensure that the ACT scores earned by English-learners accurately reflect what they have learned in school." Students who are granted permission to use them will be assured that the scores they earn on the ACT can be used for college admission.
In states that require all juniors to take the ACT, some students have found themselves in a bind. Students learning English, and those with special needs, have long been accustomed to receiving accommodations for classroom work and tests. But ACT and the College Board have their own criteria for granting accommodations, and some students found that they could not obtain the same kind of supports for the SAT or ACT that they're used to having on their districts' or states' tests.
That problem came to the public's attention as more and more states require all students to take one of the college-entrance exams. Last year, 21 states mandated the SAT or ACT for all high school juniors, according to Education Week's national database of assessments. Of those 21 states, 15 require the ACT.
That puts many students in a bind, however. Students who can't get their typical accommodations on the college-entrance exams ended up having to make a tough choice: take the test without them and risk a lower score, or insist on the accommodations they're used to, and accept that ACT or the College Board would not certify the resulting scores for use in college applications.
ACT spokesman Ed Colby said that in its work with states, states have mentioned the issue of English-learners being unable to obtain the same accommodations on the ACT that they receive for other tests and classroom work. The decision to offer accommodations for English-learners "was informed by our work with states, and is something we've been looking at and thinking about for some time," he said.
ACT Chief Commercial Officer Suzana Delanghe said in a statement that the company decided to offer the new supports to give English-learners "an equal opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned in school" ... while not giving the students any special advantages."
"This change is about improving access and equity for students whose proficiency in English might prevent them from truly demonstrating the skills and knowledge they have learned," she said.
The company also indicated that the new offerings are also an attempt to rectify another problem.
"ACT has preliminary data suggesting that academic achievement of English-learners may be underreported under standard ACT test conditions," its statement said.
Once students begin taking advantage of the new supports, ACT Inc. plans to conduct a series of studies to verify that their scores are as valid and reliable as those of students who don't use them, Colby said. No timeline for completion of those studies has yet been specified.
Some observers surmised that ACT's move could reflect its desire to keep or win statewide or districtwide contracts, a staple of its business. The company overtook its rival, the College Board, several years ago to become the nation's most popular college-entrance test.
"It's a very savvy play by ACT to position itself to say we are the better test to be used as your high school test, because we recognize the various levels of language proficiency, and we'll provide a test that measures students' skills and knowledge, not just their familiarity with the language," said Ned Johnson, the president of PrepMatters, a Bethesda, Md.-based tutoring and test-preparation company.
Akil Bello, Princeton Review's director of strategic initiatives in New York City, said ACT's decision to offer accommodations to English-learners could be a "legit" response to its reputation as a test that's hard for many students to finish in the amount of time allotted for it. That's a challenge that can be deepened for English learners.

Primary care physicians increasingly are assessed on patient outcomes even though many outcomes are determined largely by the patient, not the physician. But physicians sometimes struggle with motivating patients to make health-enhancing changes.
A research study(www.annfammed.org) published in the March/April issue of Annals of Family Medicineidentified five strategies that may help. The strategies show promise in supporting patient activation, which has been shown to be associated with outcomes including better self-management and clinical indicators, fewer hospitalizations and lower health care costs.
The study, "Supporting Patient Behavior Change: Approaches Used by Primary Care Clinicians Whose Patients Have an Increase in Activation Levels," defined patient activation as having the knowledge, confidence and skills to take care of one's health and health care.
Using data from an accountable care organization, researchers aggregated data on change in the patient activation measure (PAM) scores for 7,144 patients to the primary care clinician level. The patients all had two PAM scores between 2010 and 2012, and were chosen based on their baseline scores being below the highest of four levels of scores.
- A study reported in Annals of Family Medicine identified five promising strategies that may help physicians influence patients to make health-enhancing changes.
- The five strategies reported by the top-performing physicians were emphasizing that patients own their own health; partnering with patients; identifying small steps to improve health; scheduling frequent follow-up visits to cheer successes and solve problems; and showing care and concern.
- The researchers will conduct a follow-up study of a larger sample with a goal of developing training for clinicians.
Researchers ranked clinicians based on the change in their patients' scores. They then conducted in-depth interviews with 10 of the clinicians whose patients' scores increased the most and 10 of those whose patients' scores increased the least. The interview transcripts were analyzed to look for strategies the clinicians used to support patient lifestyle behavior change.
"We found the top-performing clinicians most frequently reported using five strategies when they worked with patients on behavior change," lead researcher Jessica Greene, Ph.D., associate dean for research and a professor at the George Washington University School of Nursing, toldAAFP News.
The five key strategies were:
- Emphasizing patient ownership. The top-performing clinicians described emphasizing that patients own their health, Greene said. "One clinician told her patients, 'I'm here to coach you, not to make you better. You make yourself better; I can't do that for you.'"
- Partnering with patients. The top performers described working with patients to co-create goals and strategies for behavior change and to solve problems, Greene said. "These clinicians acknowledged that they don't know their patients' lives outside the clinic and that patients can best decide which goals and strategies are most appealing or feasible."
- Identifying small steps. The top performers helped patients identify small steps toward change, initially setting the bar low so the patient could achieve the goal, said Greene. "The patient then had some confidence when the bar was set a little higher for the next step." Many of the top performers said they would ask a patient who resisted change to identify just one small change. "The patient almost always could describe one thing they could do to get healthier," said Greene.
- Scheduling frequent follow-ups. Following up with patients frequently was part of the coaching role the top performers assumed. Some had patients come in for face-to-face visits, while others used their electronic medical record system to communicate with patients, said Greene. "A few said they felt a tension about asking a patient to make frequent follow-up visits because they didn't want the patient to have to spend more money."
- Showing care and concern. "Some of these top-performing clinicians told patients they wanted them to be healthy enough to play with their grandchildren," Greene said. "The clinicians wanted patients to make changes so their lives would be better, not just change to please the clinician."
Very few of the bottom-performing clinicians reported using these five strategies with patients, said Greene. When these clinicians did report one of these strategies, they rarely described it in as much detail as the top-performing clinicians did.
The strategy most of the bottom performers described was telling patients the consequences of bad behaviors. "I think these clinicians were doing this from the right place, trying to help spark change in people," said Greene. "Since we didn't hear this strategy from many of the top performers, it's probably not an effective strategy, but we don't really know that from this study."
Most of the clinicians in both groups reported relying on team members, such as hypertension nurses, to support behavior change.
Greene noted that the top performers described counseling and education as a crucial part of their work, while most bottom performers reported that it was a smaller component.
Top performers also seemed more optimistic about their patients, while the less successful clinicians expressed more frustration with their patients, Greene said. "It seems that once you start giving up on patients, it's hard to get them to be healthier. Maintaining a positive approach and focusing on successes seem to be helpful."
Greene and her research team will conduct a follow-up study with a larger provider sample. If that study validates the five key strategies, then the next step would be to develop training to help clinicians learn how to apply the strategies, she said.
The current study showed that both the top- and bottom-performing clinicians used trial and error and tweaked their approaches to support behavior change. "This underscores the importance of training in this area, because some folks figure out effective ways to support patients in behavior change while others don't," Greene said. "They shouldn't have to figure it out on their own."

Love fest.
"My artist of my life is Beyonce and this album, the Lemonade album, was just so monumental."
Moments after winning Record of the Year for "Hello," Adele was honored with the biggest award of the night: Album of the Year for 25. "It took an army to make me strong and willing again to do it," Adele shared, breaking down in tears. "Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Five years ago when I was last here, I also was pregnant and I didn't know and I was awarded that shortly after… In my pregnancy and through becoming a mother I lost apart of myself. I struggled, and I still do struggle being a mom. It's really hard." She decided it wasn't hers to claim. In an impromptu moment inspired by friendship, Adele told the crowd (and Beyonce) the award was destined for Lemonade.
"The Lemonade album was so monumental and so well thought out and so beautiful and soul baring," she explained. "We got to see a side of you that you don't always let us see."
She added: "And all us artists adore you. You are our light, and the way you make me and my friends feel, the way you make my black friends feel, is empowering, and you make them stand up for themselves. And I love you, and I always have, and I always will."

Daniel the Prophet prophesied Jerusalem would be re-built and last "Until Messiah the Prince" (Daniel 9:25 NKJV). Andrew told Peter, his brother, "'We have found the Messiah' (which is translated, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus" (John 1:41-42 NKJV). From prison, John the Baptist asked "'Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?' Jesus answered and said to them, 'Go and tell John the things which you hear and see'" (Matthew 11:3-4 NKJV). Proof that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God" (John 20:31 NKJV) is found in fulfilled prophecy and the Gospel records of Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John. Everyone who continues to look for "The Messiah" must deny: 1) the Gospel is true; 2) the Apostles knew; and 3) that Jesus has saved anyone! Jesus said, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved" (Mark 16:16 NKJV).

By Rabbi Moshe Grylak, Mishpacha
The other day I met a friend, an American businessman who made aliyah some years ago. In the course of our conversation, the subject of the campaign to induct yeshivah bochurim into the army came up. "You know," he said to me, "people in America don't really understand what all the fuss is about over here. Talmidei chachamim who have never been known for zealotry have been taking an extreme stance on the issue, talking about 'gezeiros shmad, like in the days of Antiochus,' calling for bochurim to leave Israel… This sort of talk hasn't been heard in a long time. But when I go toNew York on business, the chareidi Jews I meet there don't get what it's all about.
"They all keep saying, 'Must everyone sit and learn? Let them go to the army — what's the big deal? Why are you making such a fuss about it?' Maybe you could write something to explain it to them, Reb Moishe – I'm sure you have something to say."
And so, my friend, here is my explanation:
In my humble opinion — and, I believe, in the opinion of gedolei Yisrael — what we have here is no less than an existential threat to the chareidi community in particular and the State of Israel in general. This is predicated on the deeply-held belief, rooted in the Torah, the Gemara, and the assurances of great Torah leaders of all generations, that Torah study literally shields the Jewish People from harm.
Of course, the secularists don't believe that. The idea of a spiritual world concealed behind a veil of physical matter holds no appeal for them. Not only do they not believe it, they claim that we don't really believe it, either. They say we're making it up in order to further our own interests.
I heard this idea myself just two weeks ago, while participating in a wide-ranging Jewish forum made up of Jews of all stripes on the religious spectrum, from secular to Neturei Karta. A secular professor of some renown from Hebrew University was invited to speak to the group, which eventually turned into a debate on the subject of army service for yeshivah bochurim; and in a moment of anger the professor spluttered, "Your arguments are nothing but deceit."
Bottom line: they refuse to face our sincere belief that the world exists in the merit of Torah study. But we know the truth of this, that if, chalilah, the sound of Torah should be silenced in Eretz Yisrael, this Land would be greatly endangered. To bring this belief into better focus, let us explore just a few out of a wealth of sources from Chazal and gedolei Yisrael throughout the ages.
A pasuk in Tehillim says, "Our feet were standing in your gates, Jerusalem.," and the Midrash explains, "Who caused our feet to remain standing in battle? The gates of Jerusalem, where we studied Torah" (Midrash Tehillim, 122).
Another source shows us just how serious this matter is. In Chullin 85b, it is told that Rabi Chiya had a crop of flax that was infested with worms. He asked Rebbi for advice, and Rebbi told him to soak the flax in water, and then shecht a bird and let its blood flow into the water. The worms will be repelled by the smell of the bird's blood and go elsewhere. The Gemara recalls this story because it is relevant to a discussion of the requirement to cover the blood of the slaughtered bird. But a side question arises: how could it happen that Rabi Chiya's flax became infested? There was a known tradition that from the day Rabi Chiya and his sons arrived from Bavel, thunder and lightning, storms, and earthquakes ceased, wine did not go sour, and flax was not infested. The Sages concluded that the merit of Rabi Chiya and his sons protected everyone but themselves, and the interested reader will find a discussion in the Gemara of the reasons why their Torah learning, which served as a protection for others, was not able to protect them.
But the Gemara's basic premise is the uncontested belief that Torah learning protects the world, and particularly the Jewish People. Chazal add that a person who claims, "What good is the learning of thesetalmidei chachamim? They only do it for themselves," is an apikoros. And for a more detailed explanation, a perusal of Rav Chaim of Volozhin's Nefesh HaChaim, shaar 4, will show what a deep and direct link there is between the wellbeing of the world, the Jewish People, and the level of our Torah study.
There is a fundamental Jewish belief that the entire world exists in the merit of those who engage in Torah learning. Just one year ago, one of America's biggest philanthropists came to Rav Aharon Leib Steinman shlita and said he was willing to contribute millions of dollars if the yeshivos would change their approach to learning. Rav Steinman answered him resolutely, "You are forgetting that you are a millionaire due to those who learn Torah without deviating from the path. They are the ones who support you, not the other way around." Was this just an offhand remark? No, it was an expression of this deeply held belief in the centrality of Torah in the life of the Jewish People. And this is the very issue being debated today.
After World War II, the Chazon Ish said that there were three gedolei Yisrael who were able to shield their cities from the Nazis as long as they were alive. In Vilna, the protector was Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzinsky. Hitler's forces conquered Vilna, but were pushed back by the Russian army. Yet when Rav Chaim Ozer passed away, the Nazis succeeded in re-conquering the city. The same happened inGrodno. As long as the great Rav Shimon Schkop was living, the Nazis couldn't conquer Grodno, and similarly the town of Baranovitch fell into Nazi hands only after the passing of Rav Baruch Ber Leibowitz.
As I write, I recall a story I heard from talmidim of the Chazon Ish some forty-five years ago, when I was collecting material for the biography Pe'er HaDor: the Chazon Ish was irate over the fact that, in order to spare him pain, his talmidim and family hid the facts from him about what was happening to the Jews of Europe under the Nazi reign of terror. When he learned the true extent of the disaster he blamed them for not informing him. His brother-in-law, Rav Shmuel Greineman, quotes him in his book on the Chafetz Chaim as saying that had he known, "Men nit gelozt" (We wouldn't have let it happen).
What exactly the Chazon Ish meant by this remark, I cannot presume to say. But at the least, it indicates the strength of the Jewish belief in what Torah study can effect in this world.
Here is a story that I have told over before, but it's worth mentioning again in our present context. I heard it from a chassidishe Jew, a prominent businessman who was a frequent visitor to Rav Moshe Feinstein's house. Once while he was there, someone came in and reported that just outside the building, a Jewish boy riding a bicycle had fallen, hurt himself, and been taken to the hospital.
"It couldn't be," was Rav Moshe's response. "Check the facts, and you'll find that the boy isn't Jewish."
The storyteller protested, "But he was wearing a yarmulke!"
"No," Rav Moshe insisted. "The boy is a non-Jew. He must have grabbed the yarmulke off the head of a Jewish boy."
The facts were checked, and Rav Moshe was proved right. Naturally, people came crowding around to ask, "How did the Rav know?"
His answer was, "When I came to live here, I davened to HaKadosh Baruch Hu that even though my learning wasn't enough to save all the Jews of America, it should at least save any Jew from coming to harm on my street. And that's how I knew."
Such is the power of Torah, and such is the strength of our belief in that power.
This is the struggle today in Eretz Yisrael. Our enemies never rest for a moment, and we cannot compromise on our belief in the power of Torah to afford protection, or on our insistence that decreasing the scope of Torah learning in Eretz Yisrael would be disastrous. Lessening Torah means magnifying that threat. We might not change the minds of the secularists, but those in our own camp can strengthen their belief in this principle, and support the struggle that is so crucial to our future. Eretz Yisrael without Torah is like a body without a soul.

SOLVED All users' status is invisible
I recently migrated my forums from SMF to NodeBB. And one thing that I noticed is that everybody has their status set to invisible.
Is there any way to change this setting for all 12k of my users on the forum?
PitaJ Global Moderator last edited by
Here's a script you can use to change the status of all users:
'use strict'; var nconf = require('nconf'); var async = require('async'); nconf.file({ file: 'config.json', }); nconf.defaults({ base_dir: __dirname, views_dir: './build/public/templates', }); var db = require('./src/database'); async.series([ db.init, setUsersOnline, ], (err) => { if (err) { console.error(err); process.exit(1); } process.exit(); }); function setUsersOnline(callback) { var batch = require('./src/batch'); batch.processSortedSet('users:joindate', function (uids, next) { const lastonline = Date.now(); const data = { lastonline, status: 'online', }; async.parallel([ cb => async.each(uids, (uid, next) => { db.setObject(`user:${uid}`, data, next); }, cb), cb => db.sortedSetAdd('users:online', uids.map(() => lastonline), uids, cb), ], next); }, callback); }
Create a new file called
set-users-online.jsin your main nodebb directory (the one with
config.jsetc), paste that script into it, and run
node set-users-onlinefrom within that directory to set all of your users to online.
However, I'm not sure why your default for status would be Invisible in the first place. As far as I can tell, it's Online by default. You mentioned it's every user, how did you confirm that?
@PitaJ Whenever I'm looking at online users, they're always invisible. All of the migrated accounts that I use were also invisible.
No need to run the script, just wait for the next release, or run master if you are brave
@baris What's the timeline for the next release?
@djensen47 No set time yet, should be out though. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A1.11.0

At Flick of the Finger, we love Kendal Calling. It's one of our favourite festivals. Whilst the now familiar rain may dampen pretty much everything on and around us, the one thing it can never touch is our spirits.
Set in picturesque countryside, with 11 stages, a quirky woodland area and enough fancy dress outfits to rival the fez-wearing shopkeeper in Mr Benn, there's always one place in particular we keep being drawn back to; the Tim Peaks Diner.
Brainchild of The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess, the log cabin diner is decked out with booth style seating and a crack team of baristas, providing the hung-over and weary with a much needed rest and caffeine fix. If you have ever been before you will know this is no ordinary diner though. In between the chitter-chatter and hiss of the coffee machines you will find live bands, DJ sets, guests and surprises galore. In fact there should be a sign hung above the door that says 'Expect the Unexpected.'
On Friday the very glamorous Becki Fishwick, performed for the first time at the festival. Exquisitely dressed in 1950s attire, the audience was treated to beautiful sounding jazz with a twist, putting her own style on hits from the likes of The Charlatans and Run DMC. Rumours of the first of the secret sets were also doing the rounds, with talk of a certain three-piece from Doncaster who have a knack of blowing the bloody doors off, Italian Job stylee. Seeing the trademark painted eyes of the frontman walking onto the stage, the crowd were not disappointed. The Blinders are always a bit special to watch and in such an intimate venue it felt exciting, intense and hot.
Saturday was one for the families with the Rockin Rhinos blasting out a few numbers including a turbo charged 'Wheels on the Bus'. They describe themselves as The Banana Splits, meets the Ramones and quite honestly the parents seemed to be having just as much fun. 6 Music early bird Chris Hawkins was in attendance doing his thing, with CBeebies legend, Alex Winters heading up Tiny Tim Peaks, which was located outside and involved stories, games and craft making. There was even a workshop by Kirk Whitehouse aka Mr 'Smashed Hits' with kids smashing up records with a hammer and using the pieces to create some amazing art (cue lots of nervous looking parents planning on padlocking their collection when they get home, just in case).
Line of Duty and Misfits star Craig Parkinson was also there doing a live recording for his award winning Two Shot Podcast. You could hear a pin drop in the usually bustling diner as Craig chatted with This is England actor Andrew Ellis about, well everything you can think of really. It was utterly fascinating and almost felt like you were eavesdropping on a dead interesting conversation between two mates. Whispers of another secret gig started circulating and straight after a FOFT favourite Yucatan, Tim Burgess, Mark Collins and Pete Salisbury took to the stage for a cracking Charlatans set including a beautiful version of 'The Only One I Know'. The diner was literally bursting at the seams at this point, with noses pressed against the window by those not lucky enough to get in.
The rain showed no sign of letting up on Sunday but then again neither did the diner with a set from Deja Vega which turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of the weekend. Now this band is loud. My Bloody Valentine loud. Internal organs were actually vibrating, but what a noise. Brilliant tripped out psych drones that had a whole room literally rocking out. You could tell from the presence of security and large crowds gathering that the word had got around that The Libertines were also playing a secret gig ahead of their headliner slot on the main stage. There were so many people trying to get in and sadly we weren't one of them, but we did manage to listen through the door as they belted out 40 minutes of favourites such as 'Albion, 'What Katie Did' and even a nod to the Charlatans, with their version of 'The Only One I Know'. It's fair to say that everyone was enjoying themselves with Pete and Carl even staying on afterwards to do a few tunes with Jack Jones from Trampolene.
The last band we saw on Sunday evening was five piece indie-punk outfit, Average Sex, and after a long and heavy weekend, they were just what was needed. Their energy was infectious with the singer looking like she was having the best time ever, jumping around and dancing with her friends in the audience. You couldn't help but enjoy yourself with her. In fact she was a perfect visual representation of the whole weekend as a whole.
Unfortunately it's impossible to cover everything that happens at the diner. There is so much going on, inside and out. As well as brilliant music and Dj sets, there are food stalls selling the best crepes, cakes, pizza and paella the FOTF team have tasted, amazing Tim Peaks merchandise such as t-shirts, deckchairs and cushions and even a place to get your wellies customised and spray painted. Don't be surprised if you find yourselves enjoying a drink next to the likes of Paddy Considine, Denise Johnson, Susan Lynch, Dave Haslam and Ian Rankin like we did though .Who needs Carlsberg to do festivals when you've got the Tim Peaks Diner? What a damn fine place to be.

Kim welcomes South's Moon in Pyongyang for denuclearisation talks
Issued on: Modified:
South Korean President Moon Jae-in arrived in North Korea Tuesday for his third and possibly most challenging summit yet with leader Kim Jong-un in which he hopes to break an impasse in talks with the United States over the North's denuclearisation.
In what are by now familiar images of the two Korean leaders hugging and exchanging warm smiles, Kim greeted Moon at Pyongyang's airport. They have met twice this year at the border village of Panmunjom, but Moon's visit is the first by a South Korean leader to the North Korean capital in 11 years.
The two leaders drove together through the streets of Pyongyang past thousands of cheering citizens before opening a summit where the South Korean president will seek to reboot stalled denuclearisation talks between his hosts and the United States.
"I am acutely aware of the weight that we bear," Moon told Kim as they opened two hours of formal talks at the headquarters of the ruling Workers' Party, adding that he felt a "heavy responsibility".
At a banquet after the first day of the summit, Moon said the "complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula and the establishment of peace" were priorities. The South Korean leader said there would be challenges ahead but that he and Kim had "trust and friendship".
Kim hailed his relationship with Moon, and said the pair would discuss "various issues [...] in a frank and open-minded manner".
'Exposing the Koreas to each other'
Traveling with Moon are business tycoons including Samsung scion Lee Jae-yong, underscoring Moon's hopes to expand cross-border business projects. Currently, all major joint projects between the Koreas are stalled because of US-led sanctions.
Bruce Harrison, FRANCE 24's correspondent in Seoul, said that by visiting Pyongyang, "Moon Is trying to place an emphasis on exposing the Koreas to each other and exposing South Koreans more to visuals of North Koreans [by] meeting with these corporate leaders to try to create a greater sense of peace, cooperation and understanding between the two sides."
But, Harrison added, "There are some things that won't go discussed at this summit. Number one: human rights."
The denuclearisation of the North will remain Moon's priority throughout the two-day talks, Harrison noted.
"President Moon is now seen as a mediator between the United States and North Korea," Harrison said, adding that after speaking to one of Moon's top advisers last week, he got the impression that economic incentives could potentially play a role in breaking the current stalemate on Pyongyang's denuclearisation.
"That's maybe why Moon is bringing this massive delegation of business leaders," he said.
Anti-US propaganda
The North's unique brand of choreographed mass adulation was on full display upon Moon's arrival as hundreds of people waved North Korean flags and another depicting an undivided peninsula -- while the South's own emblem was only visible on the president's Boeing 747 aircraft.
Thousands of people, holding bouquets and chanting in unison "Reunification of the country!", lined the streets as Kim and Moon rode through the city in an open-topped vehicle, passing the Kumsusan Palace where Kim's predecessors -- his father and grandfather -- lie in state.
Heralding Moon's arrival on Tuesday, the North's main newspaper said the United States was responsible for the lack of progress in denuclearisation talks.
"The US is totally to blame for the deadlocked DPRK-US negotiations," the Rodong Sinmun said in an editorial. It said Washington is "stubbornly insisting" the North dismantle its nuclear weapons first, an approach "which was rejected in the past DPRK-US dialogues", while failing to show its will for confidence-building "including the declaration of the end of war which it had already pledged".
Moon is under intense pressure from Washington to advance the denuclearisation process. Before his departure he said he intends to push for "irreversible, permanent peace" and for better dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington.
"This summit would be very meaningful if it yielded a resumption of North Korea-US talks," Moon said Tuesday morning just before his departure. "It's very important for South and North Korea to meet frequently, and we are turning to a phase where we can meet anytime we want."
But his chief of staff tried to lower expectations of major progress on the future of Kim's nuclear arsenal.
Strong ties between Beijing and Pyongyang
Kim, meanwhile, is seemingly riding a wave of success.
The North just completed an elaborate celebration replete with a military parade and huge rallies across the country to mark North Korea's 70th anniversary. China, signaling its support for Kim's recent diplomatic moves, sent its third-highest party official to those festivities. That's important because China is the North's biggest economic partner and is an important political counterbalance to the United States.
North Korea maintains that it has developed its nuclear weapons to the point that it can now defend itself against a potential US attack, and can now shift its focus to economic development and improved ties with the South. While signaling his willingness to talk with Washington, Kim's strategy has been to try to elbow the US away from Seoul so that the two Koreas can take the lead in deciding how to bring peace and stability to their peninsula.
Talks between the United States and North Korea, which Moon brokered through his April and May summits with Kim, have stalled since Kim's meeting with President Donald Trump in Singapore in June.
North Korea has taken some steps, like dismantling its nuclear and rocket-engine testing sites, but US officials have said it must take more serious disarmament steps before receiving outside concessions. Trump has indicated he may be open to holding another summit to resuscitate the talks, however.
To keep expectations from getting too high, Moon's chief of staff, Im Jong-seok, said it's "difficult to have any optimistic outlook" for progress on denuclearisation during the summit.
But he said he still expects the summit to produce meaningful agreements that "fundamentally remove the danger of armed clashes and ease fears of war" between the two Koreas.
South Korea last week opened a liaison office in the North's city of Kaesong, near the Demilitarised Zone. Another possible area of progress could be on a formal agreement ending the Korean War, which was halted in 1953 by what was intended to be a temporary armistice. Military officials have discussed possibly disarming a jointly controlled area at the Koreas' shared border village, removing front-line guard posts and halting hostile acts along their sea boundary.
Moon is the third South Korean leader to visit North Korea's capital for summits. Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun went to Pyongyang in 2000 and 2007 respectively to meet Kim's father, Kim Jong Il. Those trips produced a slew of inter-Korean rapprochement projects, which were suspended after conservatives took power in Seoul.

Support investigative journalists under threat: sign the petition
4 September 2018
The National Union of Journalists has called on all union members and supporters to sign a petition in protest at the recent arrest of journalists Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey in Northern Ireland.
They were arrested on Friday 31 August by detectives from Durham Constabulary, supported by officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland, and the actions of the authorities represents an attack on investigative journalism.
Séamus Dooley, NUJ assistant general secretary, said the petition is an opportunity to express solidarity with the journalists and makers of the documentary No Stone Unturned, an examination of the six unsolved murders in an attack at Loughinisland, County Down, Northern Ireland in 1994. The documentary raises serious questions about the police investigation into the attack by a Loyalist paramilitary gang. He said:
"These arrests have caused grave concern. The manner of the arrests and the priority given to investigating leaks rather than the fundamental issues raised by the documentary has outraged not just media workers but many people in the UK, Ireland and across the world. We welcome the High Court challenge to the arrests and the petition is one way we can express our solidarity with those associated with the documentary, an outstanding example of public service journalism."
Be the arrow not the target – Raymond Williams
Sign the NUJ petition:
The film investigates six unsolved murders
The arrest of journalists Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey on Friday 31 August by detectives from Durham Constabulary, supported by officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland represents an attack on investigative journalism.
The documentary, No Stone Unturned, sheds light on the six unsolved murders in a violent attack on civilians in Loughinisland, County Down, Northern Ireland in 1994.
The film is an outstanding example of public interest journalism. The documentary raises serious questions about the police investigation into the attack.
We condemn the targeting of those who seek the truth and the attempt to criminalise media workers.
The foundation on which all confidential information is exchanged between a journalist and a source is mutual trust. The ability of journalists to act in the public interest is contingent on their ability to honour commitments made in good faith to a source of confidential information. This principle is enshrined in the NUJ's ethical code of conduct.
The highest level of protection, under international law, must be afforded to journalists in respect of privacy in their communications and in respect to the right to protect confidential sources of information received and published in the public interest.
The NUJ has strongly condemned the arrest of Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey, in violation of their rights under the European Convention of Human Rights and was gravely concerned by the manner of their detention and the implication for investigative journalism in Northern Ireland.
We the undersigned demand the immediate lifting of the threat of legal action against Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey.
We further demand that the police authorities and prosecutors give due recognition to the right of journalists to protect confidential sources of information, with particular reference to Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
We support the campaign by the NUJ in defence of Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey, to whom we extend our support and solidarity.
If you want to add your name to this public statement and petition of support, then please sign the statement and return by email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Alternatively you can sign the petition by post, send your name to NUJ, Spencer House, Spencer Row, Dublin 1, DO1 R9T8
