During class we learnt that not all 1/4" feet for machines sew a true 1/4", and that not all Jelly Rolls strips start at 2.5" either. For this class it is important to start with the correct size strip sets. A couple of the strips were narrower than needed so we used the practice curves cut from some pieces I gave the ladies at the start.
Thank you ladies for a great class on a very wet Saturday morning. I am waiting to see how your quilts turn out and to see you again in a class with me.

en | N/A | N/A | SH: Of course, elections often mark a very visible milestone and are seen as an important step or even the ‘crowning event’ of peace processes, but they can also have a negative impact. I think this is because firstly elections are moments of very high-level competition amongst political parties and their competitors, and may therefore spur rather than diminish conflict. So it's quite risky to have elections in contexts affected by armed conflicts. |

a Stewart, Lexi Dutcher and Paiden Bell. But a run in the second quarter by the Raiders forced the Lions to play from behind the rest of the night en route to their seventh consecutive defeat.
Lawrence, which hasn’t won since Feb. 1, has one game remaining in the regular season.
Successful or not, the game was particularly special for LHS senior Sophie DeWitt. Her season was cut short by an injury she suffered against Gardner Edgerton on Jan. 21, but her team engineered an opportunity for her to score the first bucket of the night, with nobody defending her.
The plan to get DeWitt a basket was actually formed a few weeks ago, when Dickson reached out to Shawnee Mission South coach Mark Western about the possibility. He obliged, though DeWitt didn’t find out until just before the game started.
After DeWitt scored, LHS let Shawnee Mission South (5-13, 2-8) score an uncontested basket on the other end to even the score. Freshman guard Amaya Marshall then subbed in for DeWitt, who was greeted with hugs by her teammates on the bench.
DeWitt’s absence has been evident during this recent skid by the Lions. Before her injury, she was the team’s primary defender, while also providing leadership both on and off the court. DeWitt has already Emporia State after high school.
But even if she’s not competing right now, DeWitt has found a way to make an impact and often sits next to Dickson on the bench during games.
All four seniors have helped an inexperienced LHS team grow this season, and that development nearly turned into a win against Shawnee Mission South.
Junior Ozi Ajekwu was dominant early, scoring 9 of her team-high 12 points in the opening period to help the Lions grab an early advantage. Shawnee Mission South scored the first 7 points of the second period and played in front of the rest of the night, though Lawrence never went away.
Sophomore Layla Harjo, freshman Geme Ajekwu and Bell fueled a strong run by the Lions in the third quarter to help them pull within a single point in the final seconds of the third period. Shawnee Mission South then connected on a 3-pointer at the buzzer to create some breathing room, a situation that might have finished Lawrence in the past.
Instead, LHS still had a shot down the stretch. Marshall, along with fellow freshman guards Hailey Ramirez and Serenity Keo, were dynamic in the final period. They attacked the rim and helped force the Raiders to commit a few costly turnovers.
Shawnee Mission South eventually, spoiling a chance for Lawrence to send its seniors off with a win.

No matter how you feel about De Palma's work, his recollections of film making in 70s and 80s Hollywood are a blast, and he's a very easy and open storyteller. This is an entertaining, comfortable review of his work presented entirely in clips and a single interview.
I looked at the IMDB description for this film, and nearly did a spit-take when I saw it categorized under "Comedy." A woman estranged from her family for years, clearly mentally disturbed and also a recovering substance abuser, arrives at her sister's massive Thanksgiving get-together in Texas, where we get to watch every holler and stomp destabilize her like a gut punch, as she repeatedly retreats to the bathroom or patio to pop pills, smoke and/or eventually, booze.
Not so. I don't care about her and i don't want to care about her. She's a narcissistic cancer and it's neither fun nor interesting to watch the world try to pull her from a dizzying descent down the crapper.
Maggie's Plan – 4 stars
2015, 4 stars, Comedy, Romance
Joy – 2.5 stars
David O. Russell's American Hustle was an over-heralded, stream-of-consciousness mess, but it was nominated for Best Picture, and I was a huge fan of Silver Linings Playbook, so the watching of Joy was obligatory. It was not an altogether unpleasant experience given Russell's command of the camera and his early sense of pace. Russell briskly lntroduces us to Joy Mangano, a little girl and then a young woman destined for great things, if only she weren't consistently thwarted by her lunatic family, a coterie of misfits and weirdos so peculiar they veer into Tim Burton territory. Still, with her one big idea – a self-wringing mop – she perseveres to become queen of The Home Shopping Network, though her journey is an exhausting "one step forward, two steps back" ordeal so arduous, even Jennifer Lawrence's pluck and a kick ass Rolling Stones song ("Stray Cat Blues") can't make the resolution tolerable. One gets the sense Russell knows his audience is bored, because he appears to get bored, veering off into a resolution so off-kilter (Lawrence faces down her business foe in Texas, cutting her hair and donning leather, after reviewing some documents in a "Voila!" moment) it is laugh out loud funny. |
en | N/A | N/A | Day cares carry kids in ‘killer’ vans
MILWAUKEE- Passenger vans with a well documented reputation for deadly roll-over accidents are still in use by Wisconsin child care providers, despite calls for safer ways to transport children to and from school.
As other states were banning child care providers from using these vans, Wisconsin's Department of Children and Families released a policy in 2010 telling providers to carry on.
The extended or 15 passenger vans are easy to spot.
The vans get their name from a body that extends several feet beyond their chassis, allowing an extra row of seats at the rear of the vehicle.
That extra length and extra row, safety experts say, makes the vans dangerously prone to violent roll-over accidents.
Claybrook has lobbied against the use of these vehicles for decades, beginning with her time as head of.
A growing number of states have implemented outright bans on the use of these vehicles by child care providers.
Wisconsin policy allows this, as long as day cares carry no more than 10 people in the vans at one time, including the driver.
Safety experts who have examined that policy say it does little to increase the vehicles' safety, but only ensures a roll-over accident will have fewer than 15 victims.
"It's a killer policy," said Claybrook. "If you use these vehicles to transport kids or adults, they are going to kill those passengers."
"The department... does require day care providers to follow all laws," a spokesperson wrote.
Other insurance companies refuse to cover the vehicles.
Still, day cares in Wisconsin continue to use them because the state has not forced them to stop.
For example, the Wee B Kids child care center in Brookfield uses a blue Chevrolet van to pick up kids after school.
Wee B Kids management it follows all state laws.
An indication, Claybrook said, parents need to do what the state will not.
"They should go to the school and say we don't want our kids riding in these vehicles," she said.
Because until parents give day cares an incentive to stop putting their children at risk, providers have no incentive to take these vans off the road. |
en | N/A | N/A | Travel and tales with a clever, albeit cheeky, cat.
~ Hiro Arikawa, The Travelling Cat Chronicles.
The Travelling Cat Chronicles is a sweet story in which Satoru befriends an audacious outdoor cat. When the cat is hit by a car, Satoru adopts it and the two live together for five years until Satoru suddenly must find a new home for Nana (the name he has given the cat).
The two travel from place to place, visiting Satoru’s family and old friends, in search of Nan’s new home. Each stop provides a glimpse into Satoru’s past and personality, while Nana provides sass and entertainment through interesting observations.
As with many Japanese novels, the language is simple yet evocative. We become better acquainted with both Nana and Satoru and invested in their journey together.
The Travelling Cat Chronicles reminded me of Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Alboum, except that one of the protagonists is a cat. Cat lovers will find this heartfelt story especially engaging and amusing.
Incidentally, this was made into a movie in 2018, and was directed by Koichiro Miki. |

en | N/A | N/A | Delhi - The lawyers for the four men sentenced to death for the brutal gang rape that resulted in a young woman's death in India are now launching an appeal, and the world cannot have it or stomach it.
The sentence was death. Handed down as it was, interpreted, digested, reinterpreted, re-digested; four men gang raped a woman in India so badly that she died from her wounds.
The incident inspired countrywide protests in India and fueled a near-riotous behavior and prattled about until a great nation found its anger, finding also a voice in its anger and its remorse.
And the cold-hearted brutality of the act - far beyond the reach of animal lust - coalesced in the reporting and in the rumination of a population just beginning to recognize and to appreciate the warm tenets of feminism and of respect and of harmony. Indian women were organizing and were vocalizing their collective disdain for a society - both public and private - that had positioned them in a manner that exposed them to this ugly act.
The world felt their collective revulsion. The world could do what it could do; turn slowly, wait for the browning touch of the sun. The world felt, but the women in India felt differently.
They wept and they spoke up. They wore pink and they carried signs. They shared photographs and they postured as best they could, making what could be said said.
And there was hope. And hope was a simple pink gesture in an environment largely defined by a hard lack of such gestures lawyers for the accused gang rape defendants are seeking an appeal from the death sentence they have been handed.
Death is the most noble end for the actions these men have embarked on. Every society is defined by the means it gives its women. As a great civilization that has contributed boundlessly to global society, India has helped write this definition.
And yet, here we sit on the broken craw of this appeal.
Sure, India is a democracy. Certainly. It is the largest democracy in the world. And appeals are part of the democratic process.
But this is different. Its brutality is different.
Indian women deserve their dignity. They deserve the opportunity to preserve their beauty and their poise and the many elements that define them as sophisticated representatives of a sophisticated and complicated society.
These deaths sustain their beauty and their poise and their elegance and their charm - and deliver forward their dignity on the world stage.
Let's erase these blemishes and move a great nation and their great women forward. |
en | N/A | N/A | Gavin leads us into a large stone room full of bustling, chatting people. They wait in line at a counter, sit at tables, talking in hushed whispers as they lean over their food. I get a few glances as step in, but when Zarek walks in behind me, the room seems to go silent. Wide eyes weighed not only on me, but Zarek, as we're both frozen in the doorway. I wonder if it's just me. If I'm imagining it, or if maybe they don't get visitors that often. I manage to shuffle to the side, watching the eyes drift away and stay locked on their real target.
"Zarek," I state in a low tone. The eyes lock on me, but all I see are his. Their wide and pleading, sorrowful and searching. "Come on." I gesture toward the line, and he steps toward me. I force a smile, continuing to coax him toward me. As he walks the chatter begins to pick up again, and everyone seems to forget that the white-haired boy with dark eyes even exists.
Zarek gives me a small grin, his teeth peeking out between his lips. "Come on, let's get some food!" Gavin calls back to us, picking up a tray. Zarek gestures his hand, the grin still in place, and I move forward to pick up a tray.

en | N/A | N/A | Q: Spark window aggregate function not working intuitively with records ordering I have following example which i am running on Spark 3.3
("1", 333),
("1", 222),
("1", 111),
("2", 334)id", "val"])
aggregatedDf = (
inputDf.withColumn("min_val", F.min(F.col("val")).over(window))
.withColumn("max_val", F.max(F.col("val")).over(window))
The output is as expected, i am getting correct min/max value for each window
+---+---+-------+-------+
| id|val|min_val|max_val|
| 1|333| 111| 333|
| 1|222| 111| 333|
| 1|111| 111| 333|
| 2|334| 334| 334|
When i add orderBy to window, output is different:
window = Window.partitionBy("id").orderBy(F.col("val").desc())
| 1|333| 333| 333|
| 1|222| 222| 333|
As you can see, with desc ordering max_value is fine, but min_value is changing from record to record
I tried to find more informations in docu or here on SO but no luck. For me its not intuitive at all.
My expectation was that Spark is going to scan all records in given partition and assign min/max value for each record within partition, which is true without ordering within window, but works differently when ordering is added
Does anyone know why its working like this?
A: You need to add Frame to get the output you expect.
Note When ordering is not defined, an unbounded window frame
(rowFrame, unboundedPreceding, unboundedFollowing) is used by default.
When ordering is defined, a growing window frame (rangeFrame,
unboundedPreceding, currentRow) is used by default.
Essentially Spark or any SQL will by default consider Window till the current row while processing the function for that row. By adding the Frame as - unboundedPreceding to unboundedFollowing - we ask Spark to consider the whole window instead.
For e.g. while processing min function for the second row in your dataframe (order by value in descending manner), Spark will consider window for id=1 as the first and second row (Between unboundedPreceding and CURRENT_ROW)
window = Window.partitionBy("id")\
.orderBy(F.col("val").desc())\
To understand more about frame, consider reading https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17952_01/mysql-8.0-en/window-functions-frames.html

Engineers (me, for instance) will identify with some situations, but the characters are bizarre and unreal. Whims and biological fancies of the author take over the characterisation completely (Shruti, for instance) and the book is full of ‘notes’ most of which are his observations about women. Some are downright derogatory (which again is okay too!), and some are well, wastage of paper. Here is an example: “The Devil resides in men in three places – mind, heart, and the snake protruding beneath the waist.” Read the book only if you wish to collect some more. Most of such terms find usage over weekend drunken rants in hostels. After a gargantuan amount of effort that went into finishing the book, I would like to let the author know of a few things.
First, identify your target audience. You have done so. Fair enough. Then choose the language. Three percent of our population speaks English. Approximately 40 percent speaks Hindi. Elementary math suggests that you have a better chance in the latter set. And going by the flow of language and style in the book (literal translation into English from Hindi phrases), you would be better off coming up with a Hindi novel. Or if you have a good story to tell, get a good writer to help you write it.
Reading this book is an exercise in itself, which are the characteristics of an Ayn Rand, or a Noam Chomsky title. Not a campus novel. A ‘Chalega’ just for the effort. And nothing more.

The six floored building has so much to offer that will leave you wanting to come back multiple times. The magical words – 'Gourmet Food' that tops every foodies list, can be experienced here. The first two floors are already functional now and others will be starting soon for the public.
I witnessed the extraordinary dishes that came for our dining experience prepared with the most basic ingredients which just blew my mind. I am sure everyone has experienced the tricks that our moms use to make eat traditional vegetables. Surely, they never worked. This place masters such tricks. Not for a second will you realize the ingredient/veggies used in the lip-smacking dish that you just devoured so happily. I was awestruck with the first bite of every dish I tried Not only did I leave with a full tummy but with absolute heartfelt content.
Mulligatawny – A unique sweet potato soup, flavoured with coconut and spiced with black pepper that hits the throat. Garnished with papad crisps. The flavor was strong for my liking but for those who likes black pepper might like it.
Honey Chilli Lotus Stem – Loved the way lotus stem is turned into Chinese cuisine. Crispy chunks of lotus stem well coated in sweet, tangy and spicy Chinese sauces to give it a profuse flavourful taste.
Mac n Cheese Poppers – I am not a huge fan of Mac n Cheese but who doesn't love poppers? Creamy, cheesy mac n cheese with crisp fried crust is a perfect starter at any time of the day.
After having enough of delicious starters, I was so full. The taste, aroma and magic of flavors hijacked my mind completely. After having such a wonderful start, I was so looking for the mains despite being so stuffed.
Kalinga Margarita – Perfectly baked crisp yet soft pizza topped with lots of cheese, tomato and fresh basil leaves. The basic pizza covered with thick cheesy layer and minimum toppings is what makes it super delicious. Liked it.
We had to take break before we finally hog on to the most awaited and delicious course of the meal.
Mango Cheesecake – I'm not a huge fan of cheesecakes but the yummy flavor of mago made me loved it.
Filter Coffee crepes – Perfectly prepared crepes filled with coffee mousse with chunks of nuts. The presentation was top notch and so was the taste.
Overall Experience – I had an amazing experience with the food I was left in food coma after having such delicious delicacies that I could never think possible. Food is fresh and prepared with most humble and exotic ingredients. No stone is left unturned to make you go gaga over the food. Loved it.
wow its a must go place for veggies I think, I am a pure nonveg but the foods look delicious. The Broccoli looks like chicken kabab! And they have paneer 65 too?

Jamie- you’ve started 2019 in brilliant form. “Socks with crocs”- among many great lines. </s> This trail among New Mexico's highest peaks is off limits starting June 27.
The threat of an extraordinary wildfire season in the southwestern U.S. is forcing land managers to take extraordinary measures to try and limit the potential for catastrophe. So as of 6 a.m. Mountain Time Wednesday, the southernmost stretches of the long Rocky Mountain chain closed to the public when the majority of the Carson National Forest in New Mexico entered stage three fire restrictions.
Stage three restrictions mean the forest is essentially closed to public access, which includes hiking, biking, camping, fishing or setting foot in the forest. Private in-holdings, county and state roads through forest areas remain accessible and of course adjacent towns are still fully open for business, but forest service-maintained trails, roads and everything else are now a no-go zone.
The closure of the Carson comes on the heels of the earlier closure of the adjacent Santa Fe National Forest. Together they mean that all public lands within the Rocky Mountains are basically closed to the public in New Mexico. Only a small sliver of forest land, the Jicarilla Ranger District in the oil and gas-producing mesa lands on the west side of region, will remain open.
Closing the forest isn't unheard of here. It's been seven years since the last closure of the Carson and five years for the Santa Fe forest. 2011 was an especially nasty fire season, when the Las Conchas fire above Los Alamos burned right up to the boundary of Los Alamos National Lab and even threatened to torch some low-level radioactive waste.
Taken at Wild Rivers Recreation Area in northern New Mexico.Eric Mack
This past year in New Mexico has seen precipitation at epic low levels, with winds and heat further drying out the landscape. On Sunday the Rio Grande River was flowing at only 80 cubic feet per second at one gauging station north of Taos. Normally that figure should be somewhere in the low quadruple digits rather than under 100. The mother river of the Land of Enchantment has already started to run dry in the agricultural regions to the south of Albuquerque, much earlier and much farther north than normal.
In recent years, the term "megadrought" has been circulated when talking about the future of the southwest in the Anthropocene. Usually we hear the word thrown around as something that's on the way in decades to come. So much of the worst of climate change always seems to be relegated to the latter half of this century, but those projections also tend to show that we are already on the downward trend towards that super-parched future.
The megadrought shouldn't be happening just yet; we will surely see wetter years again and the forest seems likely to reopen when the monsoon rains finally arrive later this summer. But if this season is any indication of decades to come, a closed sign on the tip of one of the world's greatest mountain ranges may become more a regularity than absurdity. </s> NBA fans were treated to a full court 'God Of War' trailer during Saturday's Warriors vs Spurs game.Credit: Sony
During Saturday night's Warriors vs Spurs halftime show, the lights went out and the first part of a God Of War trailer played on the big screen. Sony's upcoming PS4 exclusive isn't the kind of thing basketball fans are used to seeing during a halftime show, but this was no ordinary trailer.
After those opening moments, the court was suddenly lit up with a top-down, isometric view of the game. The court itself became a giant screen that the audience watched from above in the stands.
It's a unique approach to advertising for a video game, though I think this sort of thing might work better for a sports game like NBA 2K or something more mainstream than God Of War (like Call of Duty.) Still, I appreciate Sony trying to dme of their really unique E3 show last year, which included pyrotechnics and a blend of real sets and video, live music and explosions and so forth.
That being said, it's also a little weird for several reasons:
Oh, and there were some boos after the trailer ended, which is never good.
Let's just hope Sony doesn't decide to do this with Naughty Dog's Last Of Us Part 2 trailer. You could have a lot of traumatized kids come out of that game. </s> Post written by
However, transformation initiatives show distinct differences when it comes to planning, implementation and, ultimately, success. If one considers that the “traditional” approach to transformation revolves around embracing the implementation of technology as the first and only step, then one can also understand why many of these transformation efforts can fail to deliver. This is because transformation is about far more than technology adoption -- it is about enterprise culture and how organizations view and enable their people to adopt change.
Real success in any transformation comes through aligning an organization to become more culturally effective, agile, sensitive, transparent and ownership-driven. In this sort of workplace environment, technology and digital platforms become enablers of end-to-end, enterprise-wide transformation, because the first question is, invariably, “What problem are we trying to solve?” versus “What technology can we throw at the problem?” While it might seem obvious that transformation is less about technology than it is about tackling business problems, many companies are still stuck keeping technology at the core, rather than having their people be the focus.
Whether fixing a supply chain issue, building a new customer-facing platform or working on any other project, if a company’s human capital is not invested in the solution and outcome, any positive impacts will be short-lived. A technology-first approach to change and transformation means that people just own the transaction and not the overarching and fundamental aspect of |

Welcome to Blue Nile Falls
The falls are estimated to be 45 metres high, consisting of four streams thatTis Isat, the Blue Nile Falls have isolated ecology Lake Tana from to the rest of the Blue Nile.
It's only a few minute drive from the lakeside town of Bahir Dar, across the Blue Nile Bridge, to the spot where the famous Blue Nile river flows out of Lake Tana. The Blue Nile Falls are about 35 kilometres south of the Bahir Dar, the best approached is from Tis Abay town, a market settlement of the Amhara people who live in this area, farming crops as: sorghum and teff.
Leaving the Tis Abay town, the footpath drops into a deep basaltic rift spanned by an ancient fortified stone bridges. After a 15 minute walk, a stiff climb up a grassy hillside is then rewarded by superb view of the Blue Nile Falls. The site overlooking the waterfall has been visited over the years by many notable travelers, including the Scottish traveller James Bruce, and recently by the Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. |

restricted activity - how much does the vet say that is?
Restricted for border collies is quite different than other dogs LOL. I have managed my dogs to be semi-restricted. No jump, little run....that's about it. I'd say long walks with a leash- forget the frisbee and toys- OH VEY- for awhile and kinda cuddle. MOST of my BC's (except the famous Usher) quieted down after 9-12 months. He is great now. Worth every moment of torture LOL. MEN!
A trick a day?Give me your booklet!I'd just do some semi-obedience around the house. Some sit-stay commands, mix it up, do some heel and turns, that'll keep her busy. Always fun for both. I like to do the heel and do the quarter turns. It's kind of fun and makes the dog "think" and not too much exercise. Teach her crawl..........great trick for a limited activity dog. Very easy once you have a solid down and a come/down......
EDIT ha ha after posting that I had to throw his ball to see how asleep he is...
P.S. to "sleeping": I recognize that pose!It's one of my favorites, the "tuckered pup"
The vet says totally quiet!I gave her the most pitiful look and she lowered the time down to a week minimum, but she really wants two weeks. Truthfully I have been letting the girls play as long as they are not getting totally crazy fake killing each other and body slamming. I think the real issue that will continue the problem is the 'tackle frisbee' with lots of herding behavior on Emma's part, including dodges, dashes, 180* turns and crashes. I have to get this dog on sheep!
Make no mistake, I love this dog!But OMG I can not wait until the crazy adolecent maniac stuff is a little bit temperd. Actually it's not even that. I just hope I can get her through some of the OCD stuff that she has picked up some where along her very unstable life before we adopted. Small steps!
P.S. While I was writing this the little darling just brought me a DEAD RAT from the back yard!She was out for two minutes, holy **** I think it was dead already...
This can be a bad idea. You want a soft tissue injury to heal properly the first time and not become a reoccurring injury. Kipp is going to continue to be restricted until he goes a couple days with no limping. I hate it, he hates it, but I want him to be healthy and sound in the long run. I gave Kipp anti-inflammatory and pain meds the first few days, but now he is just getting one homeopathic remedy my vet recommended. I didn't want him to feel too good because of the pain meds and therefore try to do even more ( a 30# BC on three legs can still pull like a sled dog...
You're right about letting the girls play, I should stop them. I guess the choices boil down to them playing or Emma pacing the halls which could also hurt her as she is a very serious pacer (habit I'm trying break also) or crating her for longer periods of time when I can't watch her like a hawk. Ack!So frusterating to finally be getting some where with this dog and have an injury set us back! |

en | N/A | N/A | Line breaking, with regards to paragraph layout, isn’t a very flashy topic. Most people don’t even notice the location of line breaks in a paragraph of written text. However, to people who care, line breaking can be done badly.
There are many different aspects of a set of line breaks in some text. The most important principle is that the text of the line should match the width it's given as best as possible. If there is too much or too little space on a line, the line visually looks jarring. We want to avoid rapid changes of extra space on a line, so we don’t have a loose line followed directly by a tight line. We want to hyphenate words if it makes sense, but only do so sparingly and if required. In addition, we never want to hyphenate two adjacent lines. Similarly, we don’t want t, because there is plenty of space on that last line to accept the full word. One last, more subtle, thing we want to do is to avoid starting a word to the right of where the next line ends, because it would look like that word is floating all alone.
A box. This represents a character or word and has a particular width.
A shrinkability value. This is the same thing, but for when a line is shrunk.
A width to use if a line break is chosen at this item.
The first is the concept of the “adjustment ratio” of a line, given a particular breakpoint. The adjustment ratio is simply the excess space in the line divided by the sum of the stretchability factors of all the glue items in the line. If the line is too long rather than too short, then the calculation is the same thing except with using shrinkability factors instead.
The goal of the execution phase of the algorithm is to minimize the sum of the demerits of each line. The way it does this is actually very straightforward dynamic programming. Scan through the string, and each time you encounter a breaking opportunity, look at prior line breaking opportunities and consider a candidate line between these two opportunities. Compute the demerits of this line candidate. Select the line candidate which has the minimum demerits, and associate it with this particular line breaking opportunity. Continue through the string in this manner until you get to the end. The selection of lines which ends up with the minimum total demerits is the output of the algorithm.
Naively implemented, this algorithm is O(n2). However, there is an optimization which can improve the running time of the algorithm. The fundamental observation is that, given a line candidate’s ending position, there are only a few candidate starting positions which are not terrible. In particular, when we have selected a particular breaking candidate and are looking through prior opportunities, we can limit our search to only the prior opportunities which are not terrible. We can define “not terrible” as “having demerits below a threshold.” If we come across a line candidate that is wildly too long, we can simply forget the breaking opportunity at its beginning in our searches, because there will never be another viable line candidate starting at this opportunity. If our line candidate is wildly too short, we can abort our search, assuming we are searching in the direction of increasing indices in the string (but we can't forget this starting opportunity because it may be valuable in subsequent searches). Therefore, for each ending opportunity in our text, our search will investigate a relatively low (and vaguely constant-ish) amount of line candidates. So, if we choose an appropriate terribleness-threshold, our algorithm is O(n).
It’s worth mentioning what happens when we pick a bad terribleness threshold. If our threshold is too high, our algorithm will take much longer to run (bounding on O(n2)), but it may find a more globally-correct solution. If our threshold is too low, the algorithm will find that it is impossible to find acceptable line breaks all the way to the end of the paragraph. In this case, there is nothing we can do but try again with a higher threshold (or the greedy algorithm, which is guaranteed to find a result).
Because of this, we need to remember multiple ways to get to a particular line breaking candidate if those ways differ in either line count or floating element placement (and possibly things like differing line heights due to fallback fonts). The presence of these “duplicate” elements can cause our search space to grow dramatically. Luckily, we can combat this growing search space by setting our terribleness-threshold appropriately.
Overall, we have a few tools at our disposal. The first is how we classify our input text. The algorithm can be adapted to many typographic scenarios simply by inserting extra items in our stream of classified items. Next, we can change the values (like nominal width, or stretchiness factor) which characterize each item in our stream. Third, we can choose different functions for calculating badness and demerits. Finally, we can select a terribleness-threshold which will balance runtime and the likelihood of the algorithm completing. Some of these parameters are probably language-dependent, which makes selecting them even more difficult. |

After a brief review of the current science around the importance around the old mantra “time is tissue,” John began presenting 12-lead ECG’s. The participants had 15 seconds to use audience response technology to answer whether or not they felt the ECG was a STEMI or not. During each case, O’Brien would answer questions and expand on what current AHA/ACC guidelines recommend and would dig deep with the knowledge of an experienced cardiologist.

Diablo Unified School District currently enrolls over 32,000 students from a territory that covers approximately 150 sq miles, including all of Concord, Clayton, and Pleasant Hill, as well as incorporated and unincorporated portions of Walnut Creek, Pittsburg, Lafayette, Martinez, Bay Point, Clyde, and Pacheco.
Most school districts in Contra Costa County are approximately 1/10th the size of MDUSD. (The two other large districts are West Contra Costa USD and San Ramon Valley USD.) How did MDUSD get to be so big that it now serves so many students in 10 different communities?
In 1948, Mt. Diablo Unified School District was formed to assume responsibility for all of the grammar schools in Concord, as well as in the surrounding rural areas, and to provide those areas with additional high school facilities. At that time, most of the Diablo Valley was farmland, with very few students living outside the small towns. Postwar education policies favorede districts that, it was thought, would operate more efficiently. Those policies mirrored trends in the postwar economy, in which manufacturing and service companies merged into ever larger corporate conglomerates, in the belief that “larger” always meant “more efficient”.
Over time, MDUSD assumed control over all K-12 public schools between the communities of Walnut Creek on the south, Martinez on the northwest, Pittsburg to the east, and the Delta to the north. At that time, the agricultural Ygnacio Valley area now known as Northgate had few residents, and Walnut Creek had no plans to expand its city boundaries in that area. Only with the suburbanization that began in the late 1950s and accelerated in the 1960s with BART construction and the opening of the local Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill stations in 1973, did the Northgate area fill in with houses containing thousands of new families and students. By that time, school boundaries were firmly set throughout California, and the State resisted any boundary changes that did not promote consolidation into larger districts.

To landlubbers, the sea looks pretty much the same anywhere and, since it gets dark and eerie much below 40m depth, what does it matter? In some cases, the shallowness can have useful effects, such as enabling causeways to be built between islands in places like Orkney and Eilean nan Siar, but mostly, it’s just sea, isn’t it?
Students of paleogeography have unearthed (unsead?) some interesting history in that the North Sea was once much smaller and some 10,000 years ago, it was possible to walk from Yorkshire to Jutland, provided you splashed across the combined Humber and Rhine at some point. En route you would have passed a chain of highlands that are now being called the Dogger Hills.
As ice age snows melted, sea levels rose and the lower-lying parts flooded. Evidence that the area was inhabited are dredged up by fishermen on a daily basis. The last to submerge were the high Dogger Hills, which now lie submerged 18m-60m below the surface. The Geology of the Dogger Bank notes “a buried relief at an average level of 3 m below the sea floor was discovered. Most likely this relief represents a former glacial landscape covered with soft sediments.” So a drowned world exists out in the North Sea.

Biodesix is also involved in generating new classifiers through their proteomic platform, which is uniquely suited to addressing questions regarding the impact of immunotherapies on the tumor, says Beresford. |

en | N/A | N/A | Although aggregates in the concrete matrix are regarded primarily as inert, certain aggregates have been identified as deleterious due to their chemical reactivity in an alkaline environment. Despite extensive research on the various aspects of this problem, a rational model that comprehensively explains the rate of the chemical reaction and resulting expansion has not yet been presented. Paper deals primarily with modeling of the chemical reactions and ensuing expansion in the case of alkali-silica reaction. The chemical reaction phase has been assumed to be governed by the rate of diffusion of hydroxide and alkali ions into the aggregate. The model also assumes the existence of a porous zone around the aggregate and that expansion is initiated only after the amount of reaction products exceeds the volume of this porous zone. An attempt has also been made to discuss some experimental results in the light of the proposed model and provide some of the analytical results arrived at using the model. It was found that by carrying out a slightly modified version of the quick chemical test, the apparent diffusion coefficients of the hydroxide ions can be estimated and the results can be used to accurately estimate the expansion ensuing during the mortar bar tests. Analytical results also indicate that certain characteristic features of alkali-aggregate reaction-related expansion, such as the existence of an incubation period before the onset of expansion, varying rates of expansion, and the shapes of the expansion-time curves, can be explained using the model proposed by the authors. |

So he took up beekeeping.
“It would teach me to put the suit on, but then once I learn to put the suit on I’d have to learn to zip it up — I would have to learn each stage,” Story explained. “So the bees are extremely religious to me … that’s the reason I’m here.”
“It may not even be honey,” May said.
“Don’t expect a big flame, but it lights and it won’t do that with water,” Story said.
“If you have allergies, you’re all congested, it reduces the inflammation,” Story said.
He said natural honey also contains amino acids, minerals, enzymes and nutrients from the plantsing from eucalyptus.
Jeff Curry had a booth at the event to sell his honey. He’s been a beekeeper for about five years and was selling honey before that, which is what got him interested in beekeeping. He had several flavors of honey for several, each flavor depended on what the bees were pollinating, he said.

en | N/A | N/A | In Maine we are housebound for much of January through March because of snow. Often this can include April, and it can also include the restrictive cold weather of December. Last year was my first year with a toddler, so gone were my housebound days of curling up in front of the woodstove with a good book for the weekend. I now had to be an entertainer.
My good friend introduced me to her local play center. It was a miracle in an abandoned mill. If you are not familiar with the concept, these are places, larger than most homes, full of toys. There might be theme rooms, craft areas and a kitchen for snack time. There might be a rock wall, a climbing frame and a slide. It depends on the location and tolerance level (read insurance policy) of the owner. It provides much needed stimulation for the child, a nice change of scenery for the parent ty.
My kids are now 9 and 10 but places like this were a huge gift to my life in New England when they were small. One note, I have seen several rise and fall because of various factors including the economy, insurance costs and small business owners who don’t necessarily prepare for the seasonal need of these centers. The ones that work tend to offer activities for a variety of ages, not just the little guys and can offer classes that will pull people back for the spring and summer when they could easily be outside instead.
When my kids were little we were pretty much limited to the playroom at McDonalds. So after seeing a wonderful space for babies and toddlers at the Children’s Museum of Art in NYC, I sat down with the director of our small local children’s museum and talked about starting a toddler’s program. The “Tuesday for Tots” at the Children’s Museum at Saratoga became one of their most popular programs and is still going strong. I got a yearly membership that I used year round (since we didn’t have air conditioning!). And I met some great friends there, including GeekMom Andrea!
What fun! Our city had an “Early Childhood Center” that military families could use free of charge when we lived near Omaha from 2008-2010. Great for my preschooler…and great for the checkbook!
Is their a directory of play centers like this? I live in southeast PA and the only places called “play centers” near me are daycare centers. I also looked for indoor playgrounds with little luck. I’ve got twin toddlers and we are looking for places their Dad can take them by himself while I’m at work. |

en | N/A | N/A | I am having a problem making electrets work in various circuits I’ve taken from Charles Platt”s “Make: More Electronics,” 2016. The simplest is on page 59. It connects an electret to ground on a breadboard, and also to a 4.7K resistor. The latter is attached to the positive bus. I then measure AC volts between ground and a point between the electret and the resistor.
I first tried using this brand: HiLetgo 10pcs Electret Condenser Microphone 52dB MP3 Microphone Accessories 6x2.2mm, which I got from Amazon. The first of these electrets worked the first couple of times I spoke aloud to test it, then didn’t work. The next couple of electrets were the same, so I sent them all back. I then got, also from Amazon, this brand: BOJACK 9767 Cylindrical Electret Microphone 2 Pins 9.7 x 6.7 mm Microphone for Intelligent Robot (Pack of 10 Pcs), which hasn’t worked at all.
The book says to measure AC voltage both before, and while, speaking aloud. I should register, the book says, .1 (point one) millivolts before speaking and 10-20 mV while speaking. I have gotten a stable reading (about 5 mV with the first brand and 9 mV with the second) before speaking. With the first brand I got a higher reading when I spoke, but the readout varied quickly. I think it was maybe 2-3 volts. With the second brand I get no increase at all.
I have taken the schematic from the 2014 version of the book:
Have a look on these pages from ESP on how to use electret mocrophones:
Digikey sells only Name-Brand electronic parts. The 868 different electret mics they stock all have detailed datasheets.
Amazon sells clothes, shoes and some electronic parts which are junk that they do not know who made them or if they are defective. |

Most people these days are either hesitant to ask, or perhaps not comfortable asking, how long you have been married. But me? I’m happy to tell you we just celebrated our 55th Wedding Anniversary in January 2018.
There were a few bridges for us to cross before we could walk down the aisle. My father was Pastor of the Memorial Presbyterian Church! As Ted was Catholic and I was not, what was I to do? It turns out that I was willing to do whatever it took to marry Ted and we would work all of the details out together. This is where the word WE began to take its place in our lives.
We love our children and found out quickly how much we had to work together to make things right for our family. We also found out that our love for each other had a special meaning when it came to making important decisions for our family. We raised our children to be good citizens, to help others, to take care of each other and to always stay together as a family. After all, God gave us these children and we still try to make better lives by always being there for them. We now have 9 grandchildren between the ages of 16-24. It is rewarding to us to see that they have their own families and that maybe we were good parents in raising our children as we watch them raise their families.

Many sufferers are trapped in the inertia of despair. Helping individuals with no hope has been one of the reasons that Gadolinium and other heavy metal Toxicities Treatment Research and Action Center nonprofit was created. Lisa Spaulding is the executive director. The intention is to raise money for treatment of patients who do not have the funds necessary to get treatment. I have written before, how one of the failings of the US healthcare system is the lack of universal healthcare, which means individuals have to pay for the treatment themselves - and most do not have the money necessary. Secondary goals are to fund research and to fund action..
My hope is that individuals who have GDD and have sizable resources will support GadTTRAC, so that the legions of individuals wasting away, often alone, with GDD, can be treated and given their lives back. The glow of recovery. I believe many of these high worth sufferers actually do not know they have GDD, which is treatable and curable, but instead have been told that they have fibromyalgia, which is managed but not cured, or other similar types of disease names that describe symptoms but not the cause, others that I have blogged on. So they themselves are wasting away, because they do not have the correct diagnosis or correct treatment. Individuals with means and possibly celebrity learning they have GDD and get treated and cured may be inspired to help many of the other sufferers who cannot help themselves by supporting GadTTRAC. At present all funds obtained will go to pay for patient care, covering essential costs of running business, and research costs. No one is receiving salary, as at this point everything done is with the intention of benefitting patients. This may also be relatively unique for a nonprofit.
Here is the link to GadTTRAC. |
en | N/A | N/A | Fadi Fawaz is in the news again… and it’s more of the same for George Michael’s former lover.
Currently, it’s unknown what sparked the rant (or warranted it being recorded). That said, this is the latest in a long stream of bad press about Fadi Fawaz. After day 2016, Fawaz has had numerous brushings with the law.
First, Fawaz was noticeably left out of George Michael’s will. Instead, the £97.6 million, which included Michael’s two London homes and his horseracing stud farm, went to Michael’s family. Then in 2019, Fadi Fawaz, who was squatting in one of Michael’s London homes, was arrested for smashing up the £5m mansion. According to MET police, neighbors alerted them after hearing loud smashing noises and saw water pouring out the front door.
GEORGE Michael’s ex-lover has been arrested by cops investigating hammer attacks on parked cars.
Despite later being banned from the property, that wasn’t the only incident of Fawaz smashing others’ property. The second incident happened in the summer of 2020. Fawaz was arrested by cops for using a hammer to beat park cars in East London.
Fadi Fawaz was then again arrested and charged for smashing private property in December of 2020. That time, Fadi Fawaz caused £800 worth of damage by shattering a window at Le Fix Natural Beauty in Central London. In the end, Le Fix boarded up and closed their shop as a result of the vandalism.
Very sick and dangerous man! Why isn’t he locked up, with all the crimes he’s committed?
All this drug abuse lead to nothing but disasters.
Sounds like Fadi has a pretty bad drug problem. He will end up killing himself. |

Governor’s muscle fails to pass major initiatives
An initiative that would cap state spending and allow for midyear cuts was soundly rejected and called by late Tuesday night, with 62.1 percent no votes. An initiative that would have lengthened the amount of time it takes for a public school teacher to attain tenure status also lost, with 44.9 percent of voters voting yes.
Proposition 77, which would call for new legislative redistricting measures, lost by 19.5 percent w
authorization from members before using dues on political causes, was also voted down by voters, with 53.5 percent voting against it. Early in the evening, the initiative was inching ahead as early results came in, but as more Los Angeles and other counties’ precincts began to report their tallies, the no votes stacked up.
Polls closed at 8 p.m. across California, with Los Angeles precincts reporting latest.
“It’s going to make Schwarzenegger pretty vulnerable,” Saiz said. “He’ss’ was when he was recalled. He’rty’s already a minority in the Legislature, so he’s going to come out pretty weak.”
Voter turn out was expected to be about 42 percent statewide.

CSUN, said the initiative process is under contention, and he questions the governor’s political tactics.

“” which if passed would allow him to “do whatever he wants,” Dungey said. “ey’ve revealed their weakness.”
“He’s” he said. “.”
Voters also rejected a so-called abortion parental notification proposition, but by 5.2 percent, making it the closest of all eight propositions to passage.
“Onit’tive,” Hogen-Esch said. “Fortunately it doesn’t awe’re probably next.”
Five other propositions were also short of passage as of press time Tuesday night, with voters soundly rejecting both prescription drug measures and the governor’s state spending cap initiative, Proposition 76.
Proposition 77 would require a new redistricting plan and after each national census. |
en | N/A | N/A | First of all, I just want to say I was free!
At the age of five, I asked Jesus to come into my heart. I know that I was only five but I remember looking up at the stars knowing that God holds them in place. If He could do that, I wanted Him to hold my heart in place too. I told my Momma that night I talked to Jesus, and she said that was good but wasn't excited like I thought she would be. She didn't realize that I was talking about entire life!
Fun fact: My Momma got hired the next week and we worked together there for five years!
I remember the exact spot where God spoke to me while I was working at Hobby Lobby. He told me to go to Thailand. I quit my full-time job and went on an internship for two months. It was there God called me. We just crossed over a river coming back from Burma into Thailand. One of the trucks in the back was stuck in the river so we were waiting for them. As I looked out my window into the rice field the Lord asked me, "Who do you see out in that field?" I said, "No one Lord." He said, " Will you give Me one year here?
I got a job at the bank the day after I got back from Thailand. It was crazy that I was out applying for jobs because jet lag is a serious thing!I got the job but during those seven months I was miserable inside. I wasn't doing what God asked me to do. I even hoping that would qualify me more to be on the mission field. God told me I would get my answer at the JSM Youth Campmeeting. I have to say, never doubt God's Word because I really did get my answer at the campmeeting and it was the night I least expected it. I was prophesied over that I was going to be a missionary!
The year 2020 was a different story. I remember at the beginning of the year everything was going just a little "too good" if you know what I mean?
I think most of us would say 2020 wasn't a year of vision and we would rather just say it was a game of who could collect the most toilet paper and stay inside the longest. I think we all went through a shock of not seeing people at all to seeing them wearing masks. I remember in Thailand having to wear one and I felt so weird and uncomfortable in public. Obviously it goes much deeper than a mask…
Looking back I know now why God didn't have me go to Thailand in November. He had something else for me to do. I know in everything the Lord does, He always has a purpose and with that He prepares you for it. I'm excited to be on this journey with Least of These Ministries!Please check out the "Purpose" tab of the ministry website to learn more behind the name.

en | N/A | N/A | new edition of the Industrial Relations Handbook.
I am considering whether a new edition should be undertaken.
Is it not a dismal commentary on the state of industrial relations under the present Government that, whereas 10 years ago there was sufficient consensus for his Department to produce a non-controversial book on how to solve our industrial relations problems, since the passage of the Industrial Relations Act that has proved pretty well impossible.
It is no commentary of that kind whatever. The present book is of historical interest and contains a summary of the Fair Wages Act. [Laughter.] If it is of historical interest, a fact which seems to cause some mirth among Labour Members, and if there is to be a revision, perhaps we should consider including in that revision a short chapter on the rather fugitive and short-lived history of "In Place of Strife".
Will my hon. Friend seriously consider publishing again the Code of Industrial Relations Practice, possibly in a shortened form, and making it free? This is something that should have much wider circulation than it has at present, and at 15p it is rather expensive although it is well worth it.
I do not know about 15p, but, of course, the guide to the Industrial Relations Act is free. The Code of Industrial Relations Practice is freely available. We can consider the possibility of producing a shortened version, if that is possible. |
en | N/A | N/A | Editor’s note: Today Dr. Anthony Lilles continues a series of postread more about the most powerful way Christ remains with us and why so few believe in the Real Presence.
In the Eucharist, Christ’s countenance shines with a personal energy that the Church calls “Real Presence.” He is wholly surrendered to us in a way that is meant to bring His passion to bear in our lives. Not passive, He actively enters into our company and knocks at the door of our hearts. He shines on us and evokes the deepest and most tender desires. His subtle presence invites the most radical conversion of heart. In this Sacrament, He can even baptize us in deep silence until our whole being joins the hosts of heaven in the aching joy of hymns of praise. In this Real Presence, His very adoration of the Father can suddenly shake the deepest foundations of our existence.
He means for us to be pierced with the love of the Father until we finally begin to live. He yearns for us to be free from self-contradictions. He wants to lead us beyond the banality of desires unworthy of the greatness to which we are called. In this Sacrament, He is present so as to give us a foretaste of the resurrection itself if we would only allow Him.Through this great mystery, under the humble signs of bread and wine, the Divine Physician reaches out to touch us in the most delicate and saving ways. In the Host, the Almighty stretches out to hold us fast as we suffer loneliness and alienation. This Living Bread offers to feed us with immortality in this dying world, and to be for us the antidote for death even as we approach the final moments of our lives. Such a personal presence of the Living God is utterly undaunted in the face of disaster and tragedy, but quietly persists with hidden intensity until every evil exhausts itself and all that is good, noble and true remains.

</s> Q: How can I search and execute a shell script from another? I have a shell script as the following, where I want to call another of my already existing shell script, and execute it as it would normally do.
if someone commands "s" from the following menu, I want this script to search all my directories for the file "isearch" and execute it on the terminal, so that they can work on isearch. What is the exact code to search and execute the existing file.
I have tried this, but this does not work-
echo "============== MENU =============="
echo "s: Search for a word"
echo "c: Count lines, words, characters"
echo "q: Quit the program"
echo "===================================="
echo -n "Enter command: "
read usercommand
A: Try keeping the code within the same program and jumping to it with a function and case such as below ...
case "$userCommand" in
searchWord
function searchWord {
If you store a magic value within the header of the file and then use the command
x="$(find | grep -rl "MagicValue")"
./$x
</s> Q: How to change the Gnome panel time format? Gnome panel displays the time with 24hrs format but I want to change it to am/pm.
A: November 2018, I was about to use your still-an-answer commandline method, dconf-editor, because Date and Time are not in Settings System now. I looked around a little more, and found Date and Time in Details. "Details" is burying the Date and Time format deuce in the details, IMHO. I had given up, until you threw me the bait that got me moving and looking for the setting again.
I checked out dconf-editor. It wasn't here. sudo apt-get install dconf-editor then: org, gnome, desktop, interface, clock format: click on "12 hour" or "24 hour", pick from drop down list of two choices, 12 hour and 24 hour.
or fire up dconf-editor, go to org/gnome/desktop/interface/clock-format and turn off Use default value then set Custom value to |

On the flight to the retreat, I engaged in small cBefore we left the plane, I felt an internal nudge saying "give him your card". The fear said "that's crazy!

en | N/A | N/A | Today is this adorable little guy's 4th birthday!!!!
He came to live with us on Sunday, September 18, 2005. We love him so much! Honestly, probably too much! Ha! This is a picture of us the day after we adopted him. He was almost 4 months old and so tiny!!!!
I also just HAD to show you this one, it is my very most favorite from that weekend! He just looks so cute in his bed!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY! Mommy and Daddy love you!
(and yes, we know we have a problem! Ha!)
One year ago last Sunday, on May 24, 2008, this is what happened at our house! It was the best day of our lives.
I will never forget how happy and thankful I was that day that after *gasp* only 6 months we were pregnant. Little did we know it would be the beginning of the most difficult year we've been through together, that this was just the beginning of our journey. We have grown so much over the past year of heartache and despair. There has also been times of joy, but it seems they have all been few and far between. It seems like every time we pick back up, something knocks us back down, but every time we've become stronger than before. I have a friend that has told me many, many, many times when I would get down that what doesn't kill us will make us stronger. He was right, I am much stronger now than I was then.
I pray everyday that I can experience another day like that one soon (third times the charm, right?). However, after all we've been through, I have a hard time believing that everything will be ok then. I also get sad sometimes when others around me get to announce their pregnancy early or start planning everything in their first trimester. I don't have the luxury of that innocence anymore and that makes me sad. I miss the way I felt on May 24, 2008. I had such hope and not a doubt in the world that I would have a baby around February 4, 2009.
Well, much has changed over the last year, and most notably is the change in me. I am no longer as positive and happy as I used to be (just ask my close friends and a few coworkers, they'll be the first to tell you), I live in a constant fear of storms and lightning, and most importantly and not as negative, I have become closer to God. A lot of people have asked me how I can still have such a strong faith after all that Michael and I have been through over the past 12 months. I honestly don't know, other than I know we have a lot of people praying for us and I think it is all part of God's plan that I have some suffering in order to strengthen my relationship with Him.
With that said, most days I have a confidence that things will be ok, one day we will have a biological child of our own (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with adoption, it is just not for us at this time). However, there are still days when out of nowhere I start to feel sad and wish for the way I was prior to last June when it all started to come crashing in around me. On days like that I always remember the words to this song (and it took on a whole new meaning after our lightning strike and fire).
You glory And I know there'll
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain
This has been a great weekend! First, I want to thank all of you for your prayers for our pastor. He is doing much better and will be returning home tonight! You can get updates here. Saturday, my mom and I did some shopping and I did the dreaded annual purchase of a bathing suit. Then Michael and I made a homemade pizza and just hung out at home. Yesterday, we went to the lake! Yay for the sun that FINALLY came out around 3!!!! This is a picture I got with my phone (hence the crappy quality!).
Quiz Time! Being A Nurse
I did this quiz on Facebook awhile back, but someone tagged me to do it again, so I thought I would do it on here this time.
1) Ever ran a code?
sadly, I had to run a few when I worked in the hospital. Although, I have to say, quite a few of those turned out ok! :-)
2) Where did you go to nursing school?
3) Fight with a doctor? Over what?
I work for two trauma surgeons, what do you think? :-)
4) Fight with a patient? Over what?
it usually involves a patient wanting pain meds even though they 1. don't have a problem that requires main meds at that point, or 2. they are getting them for more than one source and we've found out about it.
5) Ever get attached to a patient?
not to the point that I became friends or it was more than a professional relationship, but I have a patient right now that I have seen for almost 3 years that both myself and the dr are attached to.
6) What does code brown mean to you?
poop! and lots of it!
7) Most memorable moment with a patient was when...
I've had a lot over the last 6 years
the two I work for now, Dr. Barker and Dr. Smith. I love them both! They are great to work with and take good care of me, what more could I ask for?
9) Least favorite doctor?
a cardiologist I used to work with in the unit.
10) How many places have you worked as a nurse?
2 as a nurse and 1 place as a tech
11) Preferred area? L&D, Postpartum, Med Surg., Private practice..WHY?
Where I am now. I LOVE my job! Really, I couldn't work for a better place!
12) You ideal job would be...
work at my job now just 2-3 days a week
13) Least favorite procedure to perform?
incision and drainage of a nasty abscess, yes, it can be as disgusting as it sounds!
14) Anything turn your stomach?
see #13, although there has only been one that did that and it bothered the surgeon too (that NEVER happens, so it was pretty funny)! :-)
15) Discuss nasty stuff at the table when eating?
of course, I am a nurse, remember!
16) Ever gross out your friends, family or significant other with stories from work?
yeah, same as #15
17) Should nurses be paid more?
18) Funniest moment as a nurse?
too many to remember
19) Have you ever had a crush on a doctor?
20) If you knew all of this before you became a nurse would you have still went to nursing school?
Yes, i love being a nurse

Where I Live...Living Room, Better Late Than Never!
To continue on with my catch up game...the better late than never, living room! When we were doing our renovation, this was Michael's baby. He knew EXACTLY what color, theme, hardwood, EVERYTHING, that he wanted. I pretty much let him have it. It is the room we spend 90% of our time in. As you will see it is almost one large room with the foyer and kitchen, so it is very open (which is what sold the house for us).
As with every room, here is a before and day the fire pic...
Our favorite feature of the house, the open floorplan. Here you can see how the living room, foyer, kitchen, and dining room all flow in one room. We LOVE it!
This is our rug that I found at Lowe's right after we moved in...the first time. It made had a lot of smoke and water damage, but the insurance people got it clean and it looks great in the green room with the dark hardwoods. I LOVE how it brought the colors together!
This is our new ceiling fan. I just wanted to show it because it is a little different.
This is my curio cabinet FULL of Precious Moments. The cabinet was my high school graduation gift from my parents.
Hope you enjoyed the tour of our living room! Please come back soon and spend a night in the guest room! I am hoping to have it posted later today!

Four Day Weekend and URGENT PRAYER REQUEST!!!!
Have I mentioned how much I love my job?! I was able to take today as a vacation day and have a FOUR day weekend!!!! WOOHOO! I had so much to do and I was able to get it all done in one day and then have a fun, relaxing weekend from here on out.
First, I had my hair CUT last night. Here is a before pic from Easter with my cousin (I am thinking that shirt looks too cute against my bright green wall! Ha!)
And then last night (it had been a LONG day, excuse the no makeup look! Ha) after a 4 inch cut and a lot more blonde highlights for summer!
Then today, I got up early, started some laundry, did some dishes and then told Spencer it was time for a ride! I just thought this was PRECIOUS, so I had to take a pic...
This is what he does when you put him on his leash and he knows he is going for ride. Just sits there until you open the door! PRECIOUS! If it is just me and him, he can be 99% sure he is going to the groomers. Maybe this is why he was so excited...
My little shaggy, dirty dog! I'm sure he feels better now...
On my way back from taking him, my work called and a patient's family brought by box of pastries from the best bakery in downtown to thank me for helping them. I am so touched when things like that happen!!!! Most patients don't take the time to even say thank you, so it is extra special when one does something for you! Since I wasn't going to be back to work until Tuesday, I had to pick them up. So, I took a little detour and ran by the office. I finally made it back home and did some major cleaning. My house was DESPERATE for a good, deep clean!
I feel so accomplished today. House is clean, laundry is all washed and dry (although I guess I should hang it up!), and Spencer is ready for summer!
And now for an URGENT PRAYER REQUEST...Just found out that our pastor is at my hospital with major burns to his lower extremities. I'm sure one of my surgeons are taking care of him. I am trying to get details, but what I do know is that he was burning some brush and it got out of control and in the process of trying to control it, got 2nd degree burns. Please pray for him and his family. It will be a LONG, PAINFUL road back.

Where I Live Friday...Our Dining Room
Ok, so I've been a total slacker over the past three weeks and not posted a Where I Live post since the kitchens! I finally had some time to get caught up and here is my dining room post. I will work on my living room and guest room this weekend.
I LOVE my dining room. As you will see with the living room post, our floorplan is VERY open. It is the reason we purchased the house, it was a great house to entertain in! I was very hung up on having a formal dining room (which we don't), but now I love having just one big open room. It is where we host many dinner parties, holidays, and special occasions.
My dining room BEFORE December 10, 2008.
I chose to put this picture in so you can see my MIA bridal portrait. Thanks for all of your help selecting the replacement. I am going in the morning to order it!
This is the NOW. My dining room furniture is the only furniture we have purchased since we bought our house and it is EXACTLY what I had in mind. Clean, crisp, and contemporary, but not too casual.
This is my dining room from the kitchen/living room bar area. When I chose my milk chocolate paint it was with the thought of my red valences! I LOVE red and brown together and I knew it would look awesome! My next major purchase (when we actually have some extra money again!) will be a rug for under the table.
My china cabinet is my very most favorite piece of furniture that I own. I LOVE the way my china and crystal look on display in it.
I have never been one to leave placemats on my table if I was not using them, but my aunt gave me these Vera Bradley for my birthday and I loved them too much to put them away! I also LOVE my lemons that I have as my centerpiece. Another holdover from before.
My Favorite Glass Bow, I love it! It is almost the same pattern as my crystal and It makes a beautiful centerpiece or even a punch bowl!
I received this vase as a shower gift and it looks awesome as

Today has been a good day. Other than the fact I am STILL not sleeping well (if you have any suggestions, PLEASE help a sister out!) and decided to go ahead and get up at 5:45 this morning and get to work around 7:15, I've had a good day. Today is one of my favorite days of the year at work. All of the surgeons go to a meeting away from the office and we usually have a mandatory meeting in the morning then we are free to either work or leave for the day. I chose to work so that I could take off on Friday and have a 4 day weekend! I got my office and some of the patient rooms that I use cleaned and stocked, and my paperwork caught up, so I still left at 3:00.
However, I found out around noon that Michael was at home not feeling so well. Michael has a bad back and we think doing some yardwork Monday night might have caused him to have some back/neck pain today. We got him some medicine and now he is sleeping and we are hoping he'll be able to get back to work tomorrow.
Hope everyone is having a good week and I'll be back tomorrow night or Friday to let you know what I did with my hair! Ha!
PS: I have not forgotten the Where You Live Friday posts. I had a couple emails both weeks I did not participate asking to see more of my renovated house. I just haven't had a chance to take any pictures, but I PROMISE, I will take some this weekend and post them soon!

Have you ever wanted to go back and have reprints of pictures that meant a lot to you, but maybe didn't get the first time? Well, I have been given that opportunity and I am in need of some opinions, please. When we got married I got a bridal portrait to hang in my house, which was hanging in my dining room at the time of our fire. When we moved back in, it is no where to be found. Not sure if it was damaged and trashed by the people that came in and cleaned or just lost, but now it is time to replace it. In the four years, almost five, since I selected my portrait, I have changed my mind on exactly what I want hanging in my house. I had the traditional stairway, turned around, bridal pose before, but now I am wanting something a little more artsy and less traditional. I went to my parents today to look at my digital proofs with my mom and we have narrowed it down to a few. So, now I need the help of my blog friends to help me chose the final one.
These are the raw proofs that have not been edited, so please excuse the quality. It will be a 16x20 canvas. They are in order of my favorites.
I also found a few wedding pictures that would work for the same purpose on my computer. I need to look at my proof book and make sure there aren't any others I might like better.
So, please leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best! Remember, I am going for a less traditional, not so posed, artsy picture.
P.S.: I also wanted to show you the other picture I am having made into a 16x20. We had another traditional, side by side, look at the camera, in the church picture of us both before and now I am ready for something more artsy with this one too. So, I decided that while I was at it, might as well blow up my favorite to a 16x20...

Wild and Crazy Wednesday
Just wanted to check in with some randomness today.
Also, who is watching all the great TV this week? Monday was DWTS (I am still pulling for Melissa, there is no stopping a scorned woman, you know!), last night was Real Housewives of New York Reunion (gotta go watch that now on the DVR!), tonight I don't really have anything, so I'll probably watch the rerun of Real Housewives of New Jersey, and tomorrow night is Grey's Anatomy season finale. I am thinking that if they kill of Izzie I may be done with the show. Then, I will turn my focus on the season finale of Desperate Housewives. I am getting a little anxious about little MJ on that one! (yes, I know, I talk about these people like I know them!!!) What are you watching this week?

We had lunch with Michael's Mamaw and then went to the cemetery where his Mother and Grandmother are buried. It is always hard for Michael to go there and it puts my situation in perspective for me. I know it is hard to not be a mother when you want to be, but at least I have my Mom and Nana. I know they are watching us and are so proud of Michael.

Today is one of the days I knew would come this week. I am having a hard time knowing that so many of my friends are celebrating their first Mother's Day or 2nd, 3rd, etc and again, I am feeling alone. I know that I am not really alone. I have a supportive husband, wonderful parents who try to understand, and friends that pray for me and are there when I need to talk. Most days I feel consumed by thoughts of infertility. Very rarely does an hour go by that there is not some kind of thought about it, rather sad or hopeful. This afternoon has been one where rarely did I think of anything other than the fact I am not a mother on Mother's Day...again.
When I was going through my last miscarriage I bought a book called "Hannah's Hope". It is a wonderful book that I want to encourage all of you that struggle with infertility or miscarriage or support someone with infertility or miscarriage, to read. In that book I found a poem that I have come to rely on during days like today. I posted it back in the winter, but I think it is needed today.
hangs in the balance and you tell me to Wait?
"I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign.
From an infinite God who makes what you have last.
but oh, the loss if I lost what I'm doing in you.

The Song Says It All and Happy Nurses Day!
First, I want to thank all of you who have left comments or sent emails over the past couple of days since I started my Mother's Day for the Hopeful (I thought that was a cute thing to call my theme, don't you! Ha!) blogs. I am going to try to write you back soon, but it may be this weekend before I find the time.
Number 2. I wanted to give you an update on my kidney stone. Went to the new urologist today and it went ok. Still no real answers, but it appears that I have had a stone over the past couple of weeks, whether it is still there or not, not sure. I was sent for a lot of bloodwork and I go back in 3 weeks for a follow up. I am feeling much better. Please continue to pray for me that this thing either passes or stops hurting! Oh, and I almost forgot, I have lost a total of 17 pounds since February 16!!!!!!!!!
Number 3. I want to say HAPPY NURSES DAY to all of my nurse friends out there! I got to have lunch at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club today for Nurses Day, which was very nice and I am so thankful to Dr. Rowe for taking us there!
Now, back to the theme of the week. Mother's Day for the Hopeful! Kelly posted this song a couple of weeks ago and back when she was TTC and I think it says it all. I think I have watched it about a thousand times in the past 8 or 9 months! Get your Kleenexes out girls, it is a tear jerker!
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

We Are Hopeful, Patient, and Prayerful
When my thankfulness and happiness changed to heartbreak and despair both times, I also praised God. I actually think I had more of a peace and a feeling of praise the second time. I am not sure if it was the difference that seven months of growing with God from the first miscarriage to the second or if it was the new sense of priority that I developed after the fire, or both, but I felt an overwhelming peace in the OB office that day. I became so full of praise that I had accomplished the one hurdle many couples face, of not being able to get pregnant, not only once, but twice. (I know that there are many of you out there that have not been able to get pregnant and I pray that you will get to experience that joy SOON!) My OB, whom I love so much, keeps reminding me of that fact and telling me not to lose HOPE. How awesome is it that my OB tells me to have HOPE?!
I have had to stop so many times and remember that I need to have HOPE and patience, and pray for help from God to have HOPE and patience. This is hard for me more times than not, but when I start to get down and I start to lose my HOPE, I have to remember Romans 12:12, "Be joyful in hope, patient in trouble, and persistent in prayer." I have had to lean on that one A LOT over the past few months! What more do we need to remember about TTC other than to be joyful, hopeful, patient, and prayerful? That pretty much sums it up for me.

This week is going to have it's ups and downs for me. I remember last year thinking that it would be the last time I would spend Mother's Day without being a mother. It is hard to believe that so much has happened to us in our journey to be parents in just a year and I am hoping that it will be true this year. I have been so blessed to have the best mother and Grandmother in the world and I want so much to share that with a child of my own. Because I have both my Mom and Nana, I am looking forward to spending Mother's Day with them, but I know that at the same time my heart will hurt even more than normal. It is the one day that recognizes the one thing I want to be most in the world and another day that it will feel like everyone ignores my pain and despair.
So, what am I going to do about it? I am going to do my very best (which might not be much) to try to encourage those of us on this journey to being a Mother this week. I am going to post each day how I am feeling (whether it be positive or negative) and also a poem, scripture or song that encourages me in hopes that it will help you to also have HOPE on Mother's Day! Remember, we MUST HAVE HOPE! I hope this will help us all get through Mother's Day with HOPE that we will have our first one next year!
I read this poem a lot. It gives me so much HOPE and says so much about how I feel sometimes. There are so many nights that I wake up and the first thought I have is about infertility. I also spend a lot of time crying and praying during my private time that no one knows about or sees. The line that states "my dream will be crying for me" is my favorite line because I KNOW I will remember it and cry tears of happiness over it when I am feeding a baby at 3 am! I plan to do a LOT of praising God and giving thanks at 3 am!!!!
I know a lot of you also feel the very same way I do. I hope if you have not seen this poem that it will touch you as much as it has me since I found it on another blog last summer.
(I also do not want to hurt the feelings of those who may read my blog that have children or those of you who may not have suffered from infertility. You are all WONDERFUL mothers that love your children SO much! I have learned so much by watching your example and I can only hope to be a mother like you one day!)
There are women who become mothers without effort,
and though they are good mothers and love their children,
I will be better not because of
genetics or money or because I have read more books,
the people who truly have appreciation
are those who have struggled to attain their dreams.
I will be happy when I wake in the middle of the night to the sound of my child, knowing that I can comfort, hold, and feed him
and that I am not waking to take another temperature, pop another pill, take another shot or cry tears of a broken dream.
I count myself lucky in this sense;
this special vision with which I will look upon my child.
Whether I parent a child I actually give birth to
I know disillusionment, as I have been betrayed by my own body.
yet given time, I stood tall.
I see it, mourn it, and join them in theirs.
of other eyes that moisten as they learn to accept the harsh truth when life is beyond hard.

Where I Live Friday...A Few Days Late
Thank you for stopping by to have a cup of coffee in my kitchen! Our kitchen has always been Michael and I most favorite room in the house. We spent the most time selecting our colors and countertops for our kitchen in the rebuild because it is definitely a room we love spending time in!
Since most of you know that our blog was started due to our fire, I thought that as we did the tour of homes, I would show a before picture of what each room looked like before the fire! So, to start things off, this is our before photo...
After from the hallway...
From the Living Room...
The dining room from the kitchen...
My most favorite piece of furniture I own. My china cabinet!
One of the qualities I inherited from my Nana is a love of glassware and china! When we got married, I think I enjoyed choosing my china and everyday dishes more than anything! I have Noritake Chandon Platinum for my fine china (which, yes, I actually use on holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries) with Noritake Rockford crystal. For everyday, I have Pfaltzgraft Sphere dishes and two different sets of glasses. One for everyday and one for guests!
Every good cook (which I do not claim to be, but I am working on becoming one!) has to have a favorite appliance. This is mine! I LOVE my red mixer! I use it for everything, from mashed potatoes to cakes. Thanks mom and dad, I am getting plenty of use out of it! :-)
Since so many of you were patient and gave me great advice when it came to the great canister debate 2009, here is the final selection in my kitchen! They look fabulous!
We also have this cute little wine cabinet that took a little hit from the fire, but still looks cute. It has a lot of scratches and leans to the back, but I still love it!
This concludes the tour of our kitchen. Please come back soon when the red valances are hung and all the pictures are placed!

As our health care responsibilities have increased in scope, health policy experts and decision makers have found the simple words 'people' and 'patients' inadequate to describe us.

So...lately I've been stopping a lot longer and more often than I usually do to consider life, and what I want from it. Conclusion? Life's way too short to neglect the things you love, or to find something that you're so passionate about that you simply can't NOT chase after it.
I know this is how I feel about photography now - a deep ache in the centre of my chest that is FORCING me to follow this dream, 100% :).
Having spent the weekend with my parents-in-law, Hubby and I got a chance to see their yacht, Bagheera, which is currently the thing that is making them happy, so without further ado, I'd like to share with you some pictures of their baby. It's so beautiful to watch people following, and LIVING their dream - you just know when something is keeping the people you love happy :)
*took these photos several months ago. Shot them in jpeg and they were the very first photos I edited in LR, so please enjoy them from whence they come :)

en | N/A | N/A | Mid Penn Bancorp To Suffer From Margin Squeeze
Oct. 06, 2019 11:29 AM ETMid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (MPB)1 Comment
Earnings are expected to decline due to a reduction in net interest margin and growth in non-interest expense.
Loan growth is also expected to slow due to the overall slowdown in the economy and the resultant dip in demand for credit products.
MPB is expected to pay $0.72 as dividend in 2020, implying a dividend yield of 2.89%.
Valuation analysis suggests slight price upside.
Earnings of Mid Penn Bancorp (NASDAQ:MPB), a bank holding company, are expected to decline in 2020 on the back of a shrinkage Due to the earnings decline, it is expected that MPB will skip the special dividend next year, and pay $0.72 as regular dividend per share. This dividend expectation implies a yield of 2.89%.
Loan Growth to Slow
MPB's loan growth is expected to slow in 2020 due to the overall economic slowdown that will affect demand for loan products in the economy. MPB focuses on the commercial real estate segment, CRE, which made up more than 60% of total loans as at the end of June 2019. As the CRE segment responds more quickly to prospects of economic slowdown than the residential real estate or consumer loans segments, MPB faces greater risk than peers focusing on other segments. I expect MPB's loan growth to slow to 4.1% in 2020. The table below shows estimates for loans and other key balance sheet items.
Earnings to Suffer From Net Interest Margin Reduction
MPB has a high amount of debt that the company previously took to finance loans and its First Priority Bank acquisition. In fact, borrowings made up 15% of MPB's total interest expense in 2QFY19. Due to the debt, MPB's cost of funds is expected to remain high and downward sticky. The notes for acquisition of First Priority bank expire in 2025, are non-callable in the first five years and bear a high interest rate of 7.0%, according to disclosures in MPB's financial statements. Meanwhile, the notes issued in 2017 carry a high fixed rate of 5.25% for the first five years, i.e. till 2022, after which their rate becomes floating. These notes expire in 2028. Notes issued in 2015 carry a high fixed rate of 5.15% for the first five years, i.e. till December 2020. I expect the 50bps Fed rate cut, and the stickiness of borrowing cost, to result in funding cost declining by just 4bps in the second half of 2019 before stabilizing. I'm not expecting any further Fed rate cut.
I expect the 50bps Fed Funds rate cut in 2019 till date, and the competition in the CRE segment, to lead to a 25bps dip in yields in the remainder of 2019, followed by 3bps decline in each of the first two quarters of 2020. As a result of the lower funding cost and yield expectation, I expect net interest margin to decline by 15bps in 2020. The table below summarizes the yield, cost, and margin estimates.
Non-Interest Expense to Further Drag Earnings
The decline in net interest margin is likely to undermine the positive effect of loan growth, thereby leading to earnings decline in 2020.The downturn is expected to be exacerbated by a rise in MPB's non-interest expense driven by the company's expansion strategy. As a result of its expansionary efforts, the Mid Penn Bace retail branch in Hazel Township, which will add to occupancy and salary expenses.
Due to the, I expect MPB's earnings to decline by 16% year over year in 2020. The table below shows the income statement forecasts.
MPB Offering Dividend Yield of 2.89%
I expect quarterly dividends to be maintained at $0.18 throughout 2020 with no special dividend, which will take down DPS for full year 2020 to $0.72 from $0.79 in 2019. This expected payout implies a dividend yield of 2.89%.
My expectation that MPB will skip the special dividend is based on the prospects of earnings decline and MPB's Tier I ratio, which is close to the minimum regulatory requirement. The Tier I ratio was recorded at 9.8% on June 30, 2019, versus regulatory requirement of 8.5%.
I expect the quarterly dividend to be maintained at the current level of $0.18 as it suggests a payout ratio of 45.9% for 2020, which is a comfortable level.
Valuing at $26.9
I'm using the historical price to book multiple, P/B, to value MPB. The company has traded at an average P/B ratio of 1.04 since 2013. Instead of taking this simple average, it is better to take a trimmed average due to the outlier in FY17. Excluding the outlier gives an average of 0.95x, as shown in the table below.
Multiplying the trimmed average P/B ratio with forecast book value per share of $28.3 gives a December 2020 target price of $26.9. This price target implies a 7.8% upside from MPB's October 2, 2019 closing market price. The table below shows sensitivity of the target price to P/B multiple.
I'm adopting a neutral stance on MPB because its price upside is not high enough. Investors should buy the stock only if its price drops to below $24.43, i.e. 10% below the target price. Given the current widespread panic in the stock market due to signs of economic slowdown, it is likely that MPB's price will reach the target entry point of $24.43 in the coming months. |

These privileges can be assigned to the users directly from the HANA Studio, or Web IDE if the administrator has USER ADMIN privilege assigned to him. However, before designing the authorization approach, I would also like to highlight a few points that should be considered:
– Assigning privileges directly is not a recommended approach as:
o It increases the maintenance activity
o Makes the authorization management weird, and you will have no clue of who has what
o Unnecessary access has to be provided to the administrators due to the GRANT authorization limitation.
The mantra for any successful role design is to simplify. Always keep the authorization structure easy. This makes the maintenance hassle-free and provides complete visibility of the authorizations at any given point in time.
Hence, it is recommended to create the role as a design-time object. When a design-time role is activated, the run-time version is automatically created with owner as “_SYS_REPO” – the global activation guy who owns the HANA repository. The role creation and assignment activities are de-coupled with this approach and the user with “GRANT_ACTIVATED_ROLE” and “REVOKE_ACTIVATED_ROLE” privileges can take care of the assignment/revoking of roles without being an owner of the actual role.
Keeping this in mind, the industry and SMEs/experts always recommend assigning the privileges through the roles that are created as database artifacts i.e. repository or design-time roles which will have the .hdbrole extension.
A proper role naming convention will help you classify the roles correctly and also easily segregate and identify the criticality while assigning them to the users. The roles should be intuitive not only for the ease of security experts but also to enable business approvers and reviewers to know the role kind and type quickly before taking a go or no-go decision.
Keep the Role Assignment Simple By Using The ‘Extends’ Option
Last but not the least, limit the authorization of every user. Do you remember the tagline of Spiderman movie? It says, “After greater power, comes greater responsibility,” which is 100% right when it comes to authorizations. Not just HANA or S/4 HANA, this is applicable to all the applications or databases. Remember, if you are giving the user a greater power, he should know that he has a greater responsibility too. Any access that is not relevant or not required should not be given, as it can be easily misused. Identify what is required for your user and limit the authorization.
Never Delete a User, De-Activate Instead

en | N/A | N/A | The most important book on black Britishness has one flaw: its author was white
Arrogant allyship: 'A Surge of Power (Jen Reid)', 2020, by Marc Quinn, which temporarily replaced the toppled Colston statue. Ben Birchall / PA Wire / PA Images
How many black friends do you have? Do you have any? It's likely that black people have more white friends than the reverse. In part that's surely down to demographics and the size of the population. No matter your colour, you're ten times more likely to bump into a white person than a black person, more or less, depending on where you find yourself, of course.
The situation is not so pronounced as in the United States where residential segregation has reinforced social apartheid. In the UK black and white people may live cheek-by-jowl, but that doesn't necessarily indicate knowledge or even empathy.t go? What are the limits of the engagement?
Without losing sight of the real racial bigots, the American comedian Ziwe Fumudoh has had fun recently interrogating the shallow depth of knowledge and engagement of earnest white activists. In her Instagram Live interviews Ziwe has gently skewered these youngsters who, having called out an older generation of white feminists for not having done enough, struggle to identify significant 20th-century black political figures such as Angela Davis and Marcus Garvey. In the titanic certainty of their allyship, they're cousins to the young white British activists who walk around carrying copieas if it's a Bible, and ownership of it signals their bona fides and that their work is done.
? In the post-imperial, multicultural world, for many it's an emphatic 'No'. In much of today's cultural debate, our critics, artists and writers navigate a careful path to ensure they don't speak on behalf of others from a different race, or seek to represent them without that group's guidance.
The limits of empathy is an old conundrum but over the decades there have been a number of extraordinary figures whose lives have been marked by passing for black, masking their blackness or actively attempting to think black.
That phrase 'think black' first surfaced for me when I rearguably it's one of the most comprehensive and important books charting the black experience in Britain. It has only one major flaw, as far as some black activists are concerned: its author Peter Fryer was white. Should his colour matter?
Fryer, who died in 2006, promised, in the preface to his book, to 'make the effort to "think black" — to grasp imaginatively as well as intellectually the essence of the black historical experience'.
When the book was first published in 1984, Fryer was subjected to hateful abuse. The scholar Paul Gilroy recalls that it was 'dished out by resentful, lazy and hostile community spokespeople who told him that he had no right to undertake the work because this particular history of suffering was their own special property'.
I have to admit, on an emotional level, part of me wished he had been black. But there is no singular black experience. And what Fryer possessed from his peel to his core was not just empathy; it was closer to the German expression Einfühlung, the act of 'feeling into' or 'projecting oneself into another body or environment'. To interpret the past not only is it necessary to reach beyond what you know but also to make a great imaginative leap, no matter what your colour.
There's now agreement that race is a social construct. Scientists will also tell you that genetically tm, so that the DNA of a black Briton with Caribbean parents is likely to be closer to a Scot than to a Ugandan. Equally, blackness is an invention. Africans don't consider themselves to be black. On the continent they are Yoruba, Akan, Dahomey; they only become black on arrival in Europe or North America.
For many the conundrum has been further complicated by the recent outing of several African-American activists who turned out to be white — revelations that consume the US news cycle. But their egregious deceptions are more likely indicative of mental ill health than anything more profound. After all there have been just a handful of cases of such white minstrels (including Rachel Dolezal and most recently Jessica Krug) exposed over the past few years in a population of more than 300 million. Arguably, though, their stories have illustrated the gulf that still exists between the races.
B Of course you can, but what matters is not physiology but soul; sincerity is the key word here.
Cult? But who should be listened to? And does an authentic black voice exist?
In the jockeying for attention, there's always the risk, of course, that the limelight and funds go to those who make the most noise, to the 'shakedown artists' as Tom Wolfe alerted us innot necessarily to those who put forward the most compelling argument.
When I was growing up in the 1970s, black history was the afterthought at school that you never got to before the bell rang; now stacks of books addressing blackness adorn the shelves and displays at Waterstones. Today you'll find myriad texts with the trigger words 'race', 'black', 'privilege' in the title.
When the scholar Peggy McIntosh popularised the term 'white privilege' in 1988, she drew up a list of privileges conferred on her by being part of the dominant caste in the US. They included: '.' It's also a privilege to insert oneself into a debate that one has the resources to highlight or exploit.h? Peter Fryer is what happens. Fryer is to be applauded for taking the time and energy to write about the complexity of black British life in an era when notable black intellectuals, such as the cultural theorist Stuart Hall, were focused more heavily on class.
Fryer was humbly invested in the story of black Britishness. When in the days after the toppling of the Colston statue, the artist Marc Quinn snuck into Bristol with a crane and TV crew in tow to erect 'A Surge of Power', he vexed people like me because it appeared an arrogant gesture, and his investment tenuous. Quinn inserted himself into a moment of controversy where he became a high-profile go-between. His intervention was akin to (but seemed not as sincere as) the self-effacing white abolitionists who in the 19th-century US acted as amanuenses for fledgling African Americans in recording their testimonies of escape from slavery. These abolitionists were necessary facilitators for slave narratives that might otherwise have remained unpublished. Prefaced by the abolitionists their rousing testimonies were 'the black hand in a white glove'.
Centuries on from the first published accounts of black lives by black people, it's reasonable and necessary to question and interrogate the line between amplifying the black voice and acting as a non-threatening proxy for it. Allies, such as Peter Fryer, are welcome but fairweather saviours should save their ardent displays of virtue for their bedroom mirror.

en | N/A | N/A | The problem of Yellow journalism and fake news
1809 Jae Yeon Shin
Today, modern people are living under the influence of the press. Also, the power of the press is very strong. Most ordinary people read newspapers in the morning and get news from the radio or TV about once a day. Also, Internet news has become more accessible these days because of the development of the Internet. The media is increasingly becoming an information society because it makes us aware of the information. It is impossible to maintain neutrality at all times because it is human to form such a media, and problems such as distortion and cover-up are occurring intentionally. These days, there is a growing problem in the press with exaggeration and fake news. So I would like to talk about exaggeration of press, yellow journalism. Yellow journalism refers to the tendency to excessively cover and report sensational and immoral articles to attract readers. Yellow journalism originated in the 1890s when it referred to the tricks used in the fierce competition between <New York City's World> and <Journal>. Joseph Pulitzer took over New York's <World> in 1883 and secured America's best circulation through colorful, sensational articles and extensive propaganda. Pulitzer believes that 'The newspaper is right and teach to make wrong things right'. He also thought that 'boring newspaper crime'. For this reason, he wrote cartoons and photographs in a splendid way, created a new sports department to treat sports articles with great importance, and started a Sunday edition that focuses on interest and entertainment. And in the process, yellow journalism was born by appealing to sensationalism to attract readers' attention.
Next, I will try to use an example of yellow journalism. It's an exaggeration of opinion polls. Polls have different results depending on which region and who. In some cases, however, the poll and the actual results are different. For example, during Trump and Hillary's presidential campaign, polls showed Clinton with an overwhelming majority. But when Trump was actually elected, there were more votes from Trump. This shows that the results could be different depending on which region the poll is looking at.
The deepening of Yellow journalism makes the exact reconstruction of reality impossible and increases the risk of factual distortion and misinformation in articles. Recently, there have been much fake news and biased reports through the media, which have become insensitive in deciding their opinions in the media and in the delivery of information. The most basic function of the media is factual delivery. If this yellow journalism is spread and neglected, it will at some point enter a society where the objectivity of information cannot be preserved. Yellow journalism is interpreted as a desperate measure to survive the competition amid the steep downward trend of the newspaper industry, but this is just a sweet poison that fuels the specification of the media market.
I've come to recognize the problems that are happening in the media as I see this deepening yellow journalism or fake news. Of course, because they are a person, I think it is impossible to maintain neutrality always. However, I think that when reporters tell people objective facts, they should make fact judgments and write articles. People have the right to know objective facts about events, not biased information. I think the reader's view is to make up their minds by reading various articles. There are also many articles that are provocative by using words that attract attention to the title, but when you go in there, there are many articles that do not contain much content. I don't think it's right in moral terms to write provocative articles for their own good. It is very important for a journalist to keep his press ethics. I also think that the person involved in the article should refrain from such provocative articles because they can be hurt and misperceived. These journalists in order to solve the problem should act according to media ethics. The ethics of the press are the moral standards that people in the media should follow in carrying out their daily duties. The media has many important social functions and its influence is palpable, so journalism ethics is especially important among many job ethics. Many people can get the wrong information because of the media's large influence. That's why I think the press should keep the ethics of the press. Readers also need to read many articles so that they can look at events from various perspectives and develop the ability to detect false information or exaggerated facts. If journalists and readers work together like this, I think we can make the right press.

If, however, the two resistors R1 and R2 are of equal magnitude but the capacitors C1 and C2 are not equal in magnitude, then the exponential discharge curves are not mirrored about the ground reference potential and a non-zero voltage is presentedA. The amplifier (A) 28, in turn, develops an output voltage Vout to maintain its negative input terminal at the same voltage as its positive input terminal, namely, ground reference. If the discharge times are sufficiently long to allow the capacitors to substantially completely discharge to ground reference potential, then the integrated voltage between the two discharge curves may be represented substantially by equation (1):
Unlike the transfer functions for capacitance sensors in prior art, this equation does not include, on the right hand side, a denominator containing C1, or C2, or both, which reduces the magnitude of Vout. Also, constant stray capacitance does not effect Vout. Moreover, unlike prior art embodiments in which the magnitude of the excitation voltage V is the only means to increase sensitivity, the present embodiment has additional means for achieving high sensitivity by suitably increasing the magnitudes of Rf and f.
In operation, the circuit measures differential capacitance change in the capacitors C4 and C5 when an object intrudes into the emitted electrical field as in a double plate proximity sensor. A single plate proximity sensor is realized by omitting one of the plates 42 or 44. If R1 and R2 are selected to be equal in value, the output signal Vout for the double plate embodiment is given substantially by equation (2):
Further, this circuit is adaptable to sensors for characterization of materials based on changes in dielectric property due to changes in frequency or pulse width. To those familiar with the art, it is readily apparent that, with analog or digital control, this circuit can be adapted to scan materials for a characteristic signature based on detected capacitance as a function of pulse width. Such a characteristic signature may be useful, for example, in judging the ripeness or fruit or in identifying a particular material type.
This equation is valid provided that the reverse bias capacitance of both diodes D1 and D2, and any stray capacitance shunting C1 or C2, is much smaller than the magnitude of C1 and C2. This embodiment allows the central plate of a three-plate capacitor to be grounded, while providing an output signal that is linearly related to the displacement of the central plate.

The Kid's Page in the July 3 Washington Post features a story with an intriguing headline: "Where does electricity come from?Hint: Not from that switch on your wall."
What Kallenberg found was that people really are yearning to have a reasoned, informed discussion on key energy issues and want to find common ground for moving ahead withHe began to call these people "the rational middle."
What, no shouting?No finger pointing?No rhetoric?
"The rational middle wasn't these extreme ends of the argument. They weren't the people behind their barricades heaving Molotov cocktails and insults at each other," Kallenberg says in the first episode in his new series. "This is the group that was willing to sit down, to compromise, to look at the risk and rewards of energy and to start working on a cleaner energy future."
"This has to be told from an independent point of view," Shell CEO Marvin Odum says in the film. "It can't be influenced by a company like Shell, because then it won't have the credibility it really needs."
"But we respect the fact that they're willing to talk to us," Ford said, "and they're willing to work with us to come up with fact-based or data-driven decisions. Those are the ones you want to have a conversation with, because I think we can teach each other."
"I think that there's a lot working against a rational middle type concept having a huge impact," Shell's Odum says in the first of Kallenberg's films. "When I say that, immediately what I'm thinking is…think of the political situation in Washington coming up on this election year — Republicans all the way to this side, Democrats all the way to this side."
"I want people to take away a different way of thinking," Kallenberg says in his film. "I want people to realize we have to work on this together, we have to compromise on what's there, how we use it and what we use in the future" |

en | N/A | N/A | 👤I am a fan of UGREEN products. They make great products that are durable. Sound transfer from one device to another is lost. I am in the music and sound industry and I need reliable products from UGREEN.
👤I'm very happy with both of them. I think this brand is worth a good price for quality. The product is well made and the sound is good. The distinctive feel of the cable makes it easy to recognize other cables and handles.
👤I don't like to give 1 star but I feel that the safety of this cable is in question. It only deserves one star when you feel like your health could be compromised by a product. I bought this cable for my headphones. The cable was too short. The audio has been fine for a few days, but the rest of the experience was very painful. There is a The ends of the cord can carry an electrical charge. Anything in close proximity will be shocked. Anything that can take an electrical charge is included. If the end was close to my skin, I got a burning shock. This happened to my neck and ear multiple times. The charge felt like it was being pulled out. After several minutes, I realized that the cord was shocking me. I used spare electrical tape to insulate the end, but I'm not taking any chances with this product. I'm buying it when I can get another cord. I got burned when I used the basics for the first time. It's not a good way to start a relationship.
👤AmazonBasics has provided me with a reliable choice for cables, and the reviews for this cable don't really do it justice. The 3.5mm cable you buy is not meant to be used for purposes where audio is going through more than one source. I am running through two audio devices that normally don't cause Audio Feedback "Hum" in my headphones, but with this cable it does. You have to either buy a ground or switch up your audio inputs to fix it. There is a 100% if you need this cable for speakers, car radio, etc. Purchase a more expensive, high quality cable if it's for anything more complicated than that.
Superb Sound Quality is provided by the combination of gold-plated connectors,corrosion-resistant. The UGREEN 3.5mm audio cable has dual 4-pole TRRS jacks, which allow you to use the mic function of headsets or connect a 3.5mm external microphone to a laptop, PC, or phone. The auxiliary cable is ideal for video calls. Hi-fi Stereo Sound & Robust Shielding: Male to male audio cable is well manufactured and delivers outstanding performance. The Headphone Jack to Jack Cable has a silver-plated copper conductor with 3-lay robust shielding. The 24K gold-plated plugs provide faster transmission of the audio signal. The UGREEN stereo aux cord is built to last forever. The 3.5mm auxiliary cable is made of nylon braided jacket with reinforced wire joints. The sound quality is ensured by the optimum sound quality of aluminum alloy shells. Oxygen-free copper is durable. Universal Fit: UGREEN Male to Male 3.5mm Audio Cable stereo jack lead features ultra-Slim aux plugs TV, headphones, speaker, amplifier, soundbox, soundbar, 3.5mm external microphone, laptop, and tablets, compatible PS3 like the phone, walkman, DVD, and mp3/MP4 player. 3.5mm Audio Cable with MIC: UGREEN 4-Pole 3.5mm Audio Cable supports both audio and microphone function. It's a perfect audio cable for headsets. The aux coutput devices to the input devices, without the need for audio conversion.
👤I needed a pigtail for my project. I cut it in half and tore it open to solder something else after I got it. This cable is very well made and gives me more insight than most. The rubber cased cable inside is strong and protects it from being hit. Better cable than I expected.
👤If you want to play "Cure For Me" by Aurora, you'll have to unhook your phone and plug the cord back in. The ride in the car is less safe because of it. I never had a problem with phone mic use.
👤I bought a replacement cable for my headset. It works great, nothing to say other than that! There is clear audio and clear mic input.
👤I use the treadmill when I walk and bought this to connect my iPad to it. It doesn't work. At all. I had to buy another one. I wasted money on it.
👤I haven't used it yet. The cable didn't connect to my phone right away. The audio was poor. I haven't used it since I threw it in my back seat. Have used walmart aux cords.
👤I plugged them in after pulling them out of the box and found a problem. I plugged them into my stereo headset and was expecting a great sound, but instead heard distorted and distant audio. The problem persisted even after trying several different devices and plugs. I am not sure if the cable was damaged or not, but I am very disappointed with UGREEN as a brand.
👤It was bought to replace the Coolermaster's Originial Cord. There is a Make sure you push the cable through until the end, if you don't there's static noise. The cable is thinner than the original.
👤There's nothing to say beyond the headline. The cable and jacks are in perfect working order.
👤I had an issue with the cooler master mh751 headset where the volume was not balanced and I had to fiddle with the volume controls to fix it. After seeing it work for another reviewer, I bought this and it works perfectly, but the problem gets worse over time. There is a I was about to buy a new headset because I was sick of adjusting and trying to fix the volume manually or through my soundcard, I wish I bought this years ago.
👤I have a cooler master cable with inline controls and a cabe without inline controls, and they both improved the bass levels of my headphones. As far as my ears can hear, mids and highs retain their level.
👤I'm afraid the product is not durable, even though it looks excellent and paid a premium price. The cable was delivered on 4 June and has developed a fault at one end or the other. There is a If the cable only moves the smallest of distances, it will be useless.
👤The audio cable I bought was a replacement for an old cable. The build quality looks good, but when I plugged it in, it didn't sound right. I have tried many different devices. Don't waste your money. I bought a cheaper and better quality syncwire cable for them.

Any device with a 3. 5mm aux port is compatible. Such as the Apple iPad, the Apple iPhone, the iPod, the mp3 player, the car stereos, the laptop, and any other audio-playing devices. Life proof cases and otter box cases are incompatible. Unparalleled Sound Quality: The, which will offer clear and stereo sound to your devices. The bend of the audio cables is several times longer than the bend of the Ultra Durable and Tangle-Free ones. You don't have to worry about knots or kinks. Double shieldings, no messy or tangled cable is left. It still falls out even though you try to keep it in the phone. It was used with my phone and ipod. Terrible purchase. The company harassed me to change my review. I will not be changing this review because I receive an email every week to change it.
👤I like braided cables because they're tough and resistant. The cable is hard to cut and tangle. I have not seen long aluminum aux cable ends, but this one is impressive. The conector can't bend too much and these allow better communication with the device.
👤I received this in a couple of days after ordering it. It worked well for a few months, but then stopped working in March. The problem was where the cord connected to the input was. I tried to keep it braced in a straight position with electrical tape. This doesn't work because the tape won't stick to the cord. I just checked the warranty status but can't find any contact information on the customer service page. The warranty is worthless.
You can use the UGREEN stereo cable to connect your phone, iPod, laptop, or another device with a 3.5mm jack to a guitar,. The shielded 3.5mm to 1/2 cable po and no-loss, noise-free, high-fidelity audio. The pure copper core of this cable gives it maximum conductivity and it can transfer high purity audio signals with minimum loss. Double layer nylon braid guards against harsh installs where the cable is tugged across sharp edges, protecting it from being scratched. The jack plug of this 1/3 to 3.5mm cable is compatible with all devices with a jack sockets.d.
👤I had an issue with this cable and it won't work with an iPad or iPod when connected to a mixing console. An unbalanced cable is needed to get the full signal. The product description should say that this is balanced.
👤The OneOdio headphones I bought were very high quality. The headphones themselves are an excellent value, but the cables included in the set are simply awful. The braided cable is top quality. It is an amazing upgrade. The 3.5mm male -to-male cable was purchased separately. There is a My company makes audio cable at every price range and badge to order. We don't make computer cables. The cable exceeded our expectations.
👤The description of the product does not convey a general reference, as not everyone knows what a TRRS and a TRS are. A TRRS is a 4-pole connection. Products that have built in microphones can use a TRRS connection. A majority of communication devices use this type. The standoff pole and profile size of the head can be used to determine compatibility. The poles need to align with the contacts in the port. This product has a full standoff base that has a standard 3.5mm profile head, and there are slim profile 3.5mm heads for devices that the sockets port occupies a cramp space, with a deeper flush, and not molded on a more even surface. I have provided an example picture of a TRRS 4-pole with a slim profile head in comparison to the UGreen TRS 3-pole 3.5mm that has a standard profile head. It feels good and seems promising. I only gave 3 stars for the product description and information.
👤I mostly listen to music with the speakers on my high end audio system. Sometimes I use my headphones. The problem with my phones is that the cord is small. I've been looking for a cord like this for a long time. 3.5mm plugs on both ends are required. I'm a big fan of the less adapters. The sound quality was used better. There is a The cable is 3.5mm on one end and 1 inch on the other. The sound is good. I went with the 10' length for my needs. I was surprised by the price of this cable because I couldn't justify the cost of pure copper cable for my limited usage. I would recommend it to anyone.
👤I work as an artist. I connect my laptop to my soundboard with a pair of headphones, playing backing tracks through the laptop into the board. I've found that thin cables die quickly. Extras are always with my gear. I replaced it with this one because of the good reviews on Amazon. The difference in audio quality between this and regular cables was immediately noticed by my sound tech. You can tell that this cable is better than others I've used by holding it. I will be purchasing another one that produces better audio.
👤The audio output of the iPad 2 or 3 is not connected completely to the cables. The jack is too short for this device and others. I use these cables for live music. I was disappointed when I arrived at my show to find that the two Ugreen cables I just purchased did not fully connect to my two iPad audio outputs. It worked for iPod touch 2. The Ugreen has a slightly taller bottom ridge than others I had, which makes it hard to connect to iPad audio output. I'm going to see how long the one I could use will last. I will update this review if this one lasts longer.
👤The stereo plug won't make a solid connection if I plug ether cord in to it. It's like the plug is made of small pieces and you have to wiggle it around until you get all the sound. I've used this in a number of things. I wouldn't recommend this product.
👤The cables were bought to power the speaker. I bought them for the gold ones which are supposed to be the best. I get a terrible humming noise when I plug them in. I thought it might have been a bad cable. I was wrong. They both make a loud noise. I don't have a problem with the cheap short Walmart cable and I guess I will have to buy a longer one. I don't like writing bad news reviews because I don't want to hurt anyone. You need to know about it. I hope you replace these with something that won't cause distortion.
👤A cable with a cat chew resistant jacket is nice.
👤It's perfect for my car. Not too long, not to short! I was happy that I got two.
CableCreation is perfect fit for 3ft Male to Male Aux Cable and has a two year warranty. Oldboytech is one of the leaders of audio cable products andease to all over the world. Oldboytech AUX Cable 2 pack is the top of the range. You can immerse in Hi-fi music with a gold plated connection. It could last 10 times longer than others. Their AUX cord is compatible with any device with a 3.5mm aux port. Car stereos, speaker, iPod, headphones, etc. If you need a longer cord, they recommend you to combine it with Oldboytech 3.5mm extension cable.

Let the fun begin. 2-Pack 3.5mm Male to Male aux cord 4ft/1.2M with fast and easy-to-reach Customer Service is what you get. Every product it offers is supported by Oldboytech.
👤There are three types of 3.5mm audio jacks. The cables are called TRS. Stereo audio can be provided but microphone function is not provided by the cables/adapters. If you want to use a headset with mic, you need a TRRS cable. The description doesn't mention the type of adapter, so I'm giving the product 3 stars. The description doesn't mention incompatibility for phone conversations with a headset. The supplier responded to a question about mic function from a user by saying that it was standard 3.5mm male to male audio cable, and that it would work if both of your devices had a 3.5mm connection. I don't mean to be critical of these cables. The photos show a TRRS and not a TRS. I wasted money on something that won't meet my needs. I should have spent more time researching. I write this review so that other users will not make my mistake if they find out it won't work with a headset. My review is the first to point out that these aren't TRRS headset cables.
👤I had a short JBL aux cable for 3 years and this was the only replacement I could find. The difference in sound was quite disturbing. Any audio coming through it will be flattened by the oldboytech cable. If you've never used a quality cable, you wouldn't know the difference. I am a consumer who knows the difference between products he is using. There is a The cables are constructed nicely, but this cable behaves the same as the $1 aux cord I got off of eBay. It doesn't fit into my phone's jack, which causes music and media to pause and skip when it's moved.
Perfectly compatible with any devices. A 3.5mm aux port. The cable is compatible with phones, car stereos, headphones, tablets, and mp3 players. You get reliable and crisp sound,eliminate signal loss and noise, thanks to the:24K gold-plated connectors and the aluminum alloy shell.

Theangle free design of their 3.5mm audio cableThe package includes a 3.5mm audio aux cord and a 3 pole jack cable. All of their products have a 12-month warranty. Feel free to contact their customer services if you have a problem.
👤There is a noticeable static. Gold does little to cover up low quality material. I tried to use the devices and speakers. The static noise was making the audio difficult to hear. Almost all of the aux-aux cords on Amazon have this problem. There is a The cord I bought at a gas station has a clean sound, strange that Amazon seems to have the same low quality aux-aux cords from so many different sellers, colors, sizes, and prices. Has anyone heard any of them with a clean sound? I bought 25 dollar headphones that include a 6ft aux-aux cord with clean sound, I may just buy those headphones again to use the high quality aux-aux cord for a portable speaker.
👤The cord is stiff. While working with loud equipment, using from ear defenders to Ipods. The thicker cord would work in a car.
👤These are what I was looking for. The sound on my TV is not as good. I will order the 50 ft. ones next. Product arrives on time. Will use this seller again.
👤The jack on my headphones is too loose and I can only hear the left side.
👤The cord is long enough that I had an extra cord that I wrapped up with a twist tie. The audio quality is the most important thing. I've tried about 10 auxiliary cables in the last month, since my car's wireless connection went out. The sound is crystal clear when you turn the volume up too loud, but all of the others had a weird sound. The lyrics, instrumental and base come through perfectly. If you're looking for an auxiliary cable for music, this is the one. It comes with a two pack in case you lose one.

en | N/A | N/A | Why does brown sugar taste so good in coffee? While any sweetener is good, brown sugar seems to give coffee a uniquely delicious flavor. Read on to find out.
Brown sugar makes a cup of coffee taste fantastic
What's the deal with brown sugar?
Some people swear it makes a cup of coffee taste fantastic–even better than white sugar!
It doesn't seem like there'd be much difference, does it? They're both sweeteners.
However, brown sugar has a few secrets that can change your whole coffee game.
We'll break down why it tastes so uniquely good.
No matter what kind of sugar you prefer in your sweetened coffee, you should know how to make it taste fantastic every day.
The Final Word on Why Does Brown Sugar Taste So Good?
FAQs on Brown Sugar Coffee
How much sugar should you have in a day?
Sugar is a very refined product. It is produced from both sugar cane or sugar beets, but either way all the vitamins, minerals, and fiber are removed from it during the refining process.
Sugar beets are processed by thinly slicing and leaching out the juice they exude. Impurities are removed from the juice in a centrifuge before it's dried into its final crystalline form.
Sugar cane is made similarly. Both are then bleached and further processed to make the pure white granulated sugar that we're familiar with.
What is left over after this process is molasses: A thick, viscous liquid that contains plenty of vitamins, minerals, and other natural compounds including potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
The mineral and vitamin content in traditional molasses is what has made it a folk medicine for hundreds of years.
Regular white sugar has been completely through sugar processing to the point where it is bright white and has a uniform granular texture. All the molasses has been removed.
On the other hand, what gives brown sugar its rich, complex flavor is the molasses left in the sugar crystals during processing.
Brown sugar is made in two ways:
Natural brown sugar, sometimes called raw sugar, is made by not completely stripping the sugar pulp of its molasses content before drying it into its crystalline form. Turbinado, muscovado, and demerara sugars are all considered raw sugars.
Commercial brown sugar is made by adding a small amount of molasses into fully processed granulated sugar. The amount added will affect the color and taste of the sugar.
Generally, the darker brown sugar is, the more molasses content it contains. Muscovado sugar for example is very dark brown, while commercial light brown sugar has a much lighter hue.
All types of processed sugar are mostly made up of sucrose, with only a small percentage of molasses: Muscovado contains around 10 percent molasses, while commercial brown sugar contains between 3 and 6 percent molasses.
Adding any kind of sugar that has molasses content to your morning cup of java will give it a richer color and a slightly heavier, earthier taste. Try using muscovado or demerara sugars for the best coffee flavor.
This goes for espresso as well–adding brown sugar to espresso drinks can really add to the complexity of the flavors. Brown sugar lattes are a common request to baristas.
What about other types of sweeteners that aren't made from sugar cane or beets?
Maple Syrup is boiled down from the sap of maple trees. It does have a bit of mineral content, including manganese, iron, and zinc, but it's still high in calories with very little fiber. While it can definitely be used in coffee, it doesn't give it that rich taste that brown sugar does.
Honey, especially when consumed raw, contains a bit more mineral content than either brown sugar or maple syrup. It contains trace amounts of vitamin B6, selenium, iron, and potassium, as well as various compounds that seem to have anti-allergy and antibacterial properties.
Honey gives coffee a brighter, sweeter taste than brown sugar does, without the rich, earthy notes.
Stevia is a natural sugar substitute made from the leaves of a South American plant related to Chrysanthemum. It contains no calories or carbohydrates so it's popular among diabetics and dieters.
It's is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar, so a tiny amount of it will suffice. Some people find it has a bitter aftertaste.
Refined sugars made from both sugar cane and sugar beets look the same and pretty much contain the same nutritional composition, which, unfortunately, isn't much. There just aren't any health benefits to using brown sugar over white sugar.
That doesn't mean you can't add them to your coffee, just be judicial about it and focus on flavor.
Brown sugar contains slightly more minerals due to the small amount of molasses added, but the effect is pretty negligible. Health-conscious coffee drinkers are advised to watch their consumption of all added sugars, but occasionally adding natural sweeteners to your morning cup of coffee is a nice treat that won't destroy your health.
Sometimes, black coffee just doesn't do the trick, and your local coffee shop can help you make a sweet brown sugar drink that's exactly what you needed.
If you're wondering what kind of sweetener you should add to your coffee for the best flavor, brown sugar is a strong contender. Many people find its rich flavor and luscious texture a perfect complement to fresh, hot coffee.
No matter what kind of sweetener you choose, your coffee should be part of a perfect morning for you!
The nutritional difference between white sugars and brown sugars is almost nil. Brown sugars and raw sugars contain a trace amount of minerals because of their low molasses content, but the difference is negligible.
Research has shown that they have the same effect on the human body. You're better off choosing a sugar preference based on taste, and simply limiting the amount you consume to protect your health.
The American Heart Association recommends a limit of about 6 teaspoons (24 grams) for women and 9 teaspoons (36 grams) for men of added sugar per day. If you normally avoid eating a lot of processed food, adding a small amount of sugar to your coffee in the morning should keep you under this limit. |

Cardinal Vincent Nichols’ echoorisd Amoris? I do not think that […]
From what I have read elsewhere he touched upon Maradiaga of the Alazraki interview, again doing no credit to his powers of discernment. This is a train wreck. It is not getting better. The bottom of the cliff appears nowhere yet in sight. Will no man occupying the episcopate rescue this man from himself — let alone those of us who inhabit the collateral damage?
Under no circumstance should he resign. The Petrine Office is not a position—like a prime minister—in which the office holder should resign when his governance proves unpopular. The Church is not a democracy.
It is always wrong to force a Pope to resign. That is the worst of precedent. |
en | N/A | N/A | An error on Arabic-language ballots, a new proposal for voters in a Michigan city with a large Arab American population, highlights the need for expanded voting access for Americans with limited English proficiency — and the challenges it brings.
Arabic-language ballots in Dearborn, Mich., had an error in the instructions for one section, the city clerk announced on Nov. 4, leading officials to attach a written statement explaining the error on Arabic ballots used in the week leading up to to the Election Day.
Although the typo affected only 34 Dearborn voters who had requested Arabic absentee ballots before he was caught, the incident underscores the struggles in jurisdictions with large groups ofin amid an ongoing national campaign for greater access to the language on ballots and in other election materials. Legal experts say election administrators should address the need for non-English voting materials, a nonpartisan issue aimed at increasing voter turnout in the United States.
This year, Michigan had two open Supreme Court seats and five candidates on the ballot, meaning that people who did not change their submitted Arabic-language ballot may not have cast their ballot for multiple candidates when they could have voted .
The use of Arabic ballots for the first time in Dearborn stemmed from a resolution introduced by city councilor Mustapha Hammoud that required access to election materials in any language spoken at home by a minimum of 10,000 residents or 5 percent of the population, based on census data, whichever threshold is reached first.
This often puts pressure on state and local leaders to expand election materials for their constituents who speak languages outside of federal law, the Fair Elections Center. a non-partisan voting rights organization.
“There is nothing preventing election officials, as a matter of policy, from offering materials and information in additional languages,” Kanter Cohen said.
In September, Rep. Nikema Williams (D-Ga.) introduced a bill that would allow election materials to be published in those additional languages and fund state and local officials in the effort.
The Dearborn City Council approved the voting rights resolution in March, the same month it was introduced, meaning Arabic ballots would be used during primaries in August and midterms in November. The decision was approved after “intense debate” about the costs and lack of time to implement it, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Like Dearborn, other communities across the country have worked for years to introduce new language ballots despite the obstacles.
This year, for the first time, San Diego County voters had access to Persian and Somali facsimile ballots, translated sample ballots to use as a reference when filling out English ballots. The move came reinstated minority language resolutions that had expired in 2021.
Jeanine Erikat, policy leaded her fears are particularly focused on various border counties such as San Diego County.
Erikat said she also hopes to see official ballots, not just facsimiles, in more languages in future elections.
In 2018, nonpartisan civic groups in Florida filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to order state and local officials to provide Spanish-language ballots. The suit alleged that Florida’s secretary of state and other officials were violating the voting rights of thousands of Puerto Ricans who had moved there after Hurricane Maria.
In September 2018, the judge ruled in favor of the groups, ordering, but stopped short of requesting official ballots due to the lack of time before the midterm elections.
“We really need constant advocacy and vigilance and community engagement, even when we’re making gains,” said Miranda Galindo, senior counsel for PRLDEF’st.
For decades, Osama Siblani, who lives near Dearborn and is the publisher of the Arab American News, has published election information in Arabic. He was one of three volunteers commissioned to help with the city’s Arabic language votes.
Despite this year’s disaster, Siblani said he is waiting to see if the translated ballots and eleommunity’s turnout.
“I have been publishing the Arab American News for 38 years and I know that my community was not participating [in elections] because of the lack of sufficient knowledge of English to make an important choice,” he said. |

These sorts of days never feel quite as fun or fulfilling, since the Muse is less in the driver’s seat, and you’re spending time evaluating rather than coming up with a lot of new things.
Sometimes what can make me feel better is to go for a nice walk where I think about the story, and maybe come up with an idea or two that I can note down. That’s always a nice feeling. Or, if no new ideas are flowing, putting the story into your mind in a relaxed way and enjoying your perspective on it, can also be satisfying.
No joke. I was glad to get past that part, to figure out what stayed and what went. Today was more of that, but after yesterday’s evaluation of what the scene had to offer, it went much better. |

e)Single entity may act as initiator of the investment project and the ultimate borrower. </s> Learning professionals are reaching out beyond their traditional data sources and methodologies to embrace a new world of learning analytics. However, innovation is sporadic and held back in many organisations by a historical culture of not evaluating effectively (if at all).
Opinion is divided about the value of learning analytics provided by ‘traditional’ LMS reporting.
Some think the information that comes out of learning management systems is ‘a waste of time’. Others say that you turn your back on it at your peril, or that in combination with other data sources, it can provide rich insights. ‘You’ve got this broad, shallow LMS data that can nudge us in the right direction, but it is that deep dive into a small audience [through focus groups] that really gives us the rich stuff when we are thinking about [learning] design’.
Learning departments don’t necessarily have access to data analysts to interpret data for them. Neither do they necessarily have data analysis skillsets in their teams. So these kind of presentational tools, which contain a certain amount of baked in analysis, are especially useful.
Organisations with large and highly structured data sets are currently best placed to take advantage of sophisticated new tools available for data analysis and presentation. – e.g. professional associations that administer exams-based qualifications – and it is here, where exams play a central part, that organisations are perhaps best placed to capitalize on advances in learning analytics technology.
Return on Investment (ROI) is starting to be seen as a less important measure than return on engagement (ROE).
ROI is too often associated with cost cutting and is difficult to pick apart from other inputs. Of more interest now is ROE — how engaged people are with the learning and what effect it is having on their behaviours. The new analytics is providing measures (like sentiment analysis) that make this easier to assess.
It is questionable whether learning departments are active enough in reaching out for commercial data from the business.
In measuring the effect of training on behaviours and performance it can often be essential to get data from the business. One of our delegates felt that his peers did not do enough of this reaching out: ‘L&D needs to get out of its fluffy HR world and smell the coffee’.
The perception within L&D tends to be that HR teams have a more analytics-driven culture.
Certainly, many HR solutions (including talent software) provide impressive and good-looking reports. However, whether HR are actually where they want to be with analytics is another question, one of our delegates hinted.
More generally, although organisations are seen to be ‘desperate to invest’ in data analytics, actually it is hard for many of them to make the strides they would like to make.
It is possible (though hard to prove) that the recent move to shorter, more ‘chunked’ digital learning has been at least partly driven by greater access to data and analytics within learning departments.
In one interesting example, related by one of our delegates, insights from data about the consumption habits of staff led to a change of content strategy. While elearning programmes were an hour plus in length, 79% of this organisation’s learners spent less than 30 minutes doing it, and 56% less than 15 mins. Based on this type of information, the learning department changed the approach; ‘chunking down’ learning programmes to bite- |
