State Funding for Faith-Based Program Challenged
The American Jewish Congress has announced that it is seeking a permanent injunction against the implementation of a state-funded job-training program in California because the program is open only to faith-based providers.
In a press release, the AJC stated that it believes the practice constitutes an unconstitutional preference for religion. The significance of the suit was magnified recently when the Department of Health and Human Services acknowledged that a grant program to prevent HIV and drug use had been similarly restricted to faith-based groups.
In the California suit, the AJC is challenging a faith-based initiative administered by the California Department of Employment Development under its temporary Assistance to Needy Families Program and is asking the court for a declaration that "the eligibility limitation to faith-based providers both in the proposal and in the budget item are unconstitutional, as well as for the issuance of an injunction prohibiting government funding of the project." The AJC is also asking the court that it be required that the "proposal be rebid without a faith-based limitation."
"This is the first-ever set-aside on a federal level for religion, and it is clearly discriminatory and unconstitutional," said AJC executive director Phil Baum. "We call on Health and Human Services secretary Tommy Thompson to revise the program before applications are due in July. Should the program be presented in its current form, we will have no choice but to bring suit, as we have done in California."
The case will be heard in on June 19 in the Superior Court, State of California, for the County of San Francisco.

There's no wrong answer. They're just different.
A platform is the home base for all your communication. It's your website, your brand identity, and the products you make.
A program is the advertising that sells your tool using your brand, website, or personality.
Metaphorically: a platform is the TV channel, and the program is the commercial. Or you could think about television shows as the "platform," and the commercials as the, uh, "programs" Programs exist to get you to notice a platform.
The sort of person who wakes up every day looking to make a program is different from the sort of person who makes platforms. It takes a different set of skills.
As for me, I like to make platforms. Which are you making?

Shock Video: 'Punk Ass' Cuomo Attacked
Madness erupted at an press conference being held by NY Governor Andrew Cuomo in Albany on Wednesday as one of the Governor's unsatisfied constituents started cursing and even took a swing at him before being taken away by State Police.
The yet to be identified woman walked out of the state police station at the Capitol as Cuomo spoke about the arrest of a Daily News reporter who was caught using his cellphone in violation of posted rules.
"Did you know this office doesn't want to submit a complaint of a sexual harassment I had here? NDA? And they went, they took out a rifle on me Friday, here?" she screamed on the soon to be viral video.
The woman, who apparently is a Yankees fan as evidenced by her choice of jacket, then started yelling at a bemused Cuomo who stopped talking and glanced at her as she continued her verbal tirade.
"Yeah, you're not doing nothing here, you punk ass! You're not doing a motherf–king s–t either! I got proof!" she screamed.
Cuomo shifted focus back to the reporters as the chaos continued behind him. "There's corruption going on here! They're stealing money! I got the proof right here!" she continued.
Several troopers took control of the situation, but not before she swung a fistful of papers at Cuomo as she was dragged into the station.

Day in day out you read and hear stories about businesses adding a mobile wing.
Little confused about what is this hype all about? Mobile Revolution ??
Lots of talk about different options to get involved with mobile but
"What is suitable for my business?"
In this article we will see different variations possible (Also considering Indian MSME market ) to get into mobile world. We shall see the difference between them. And some examples. Lets us make this simple.
Why you should market your business on the mobile web?
- Mobile penetrationis growing exponentially. If we thought WWW (World wide web) was big; then consider this, there are 4 billion mobile phones in the world i.e. about 4 times the number of PCs.
- With new and smart phones reaching the masses, consumers are exposed and addicted to various features like messaging, camera, music, social needs, status quo, easy purchase, easy payments etc.
- MostBrands are planning or have launched their mobile web presence. Now smaller businesses are following their footsteps.
How can you make your business presence on mobile web?
- SMS Advertisements: I agree its easy and cheap way to send bulk black & white text messages about your products/services. It is kind of one way communication channel for mass communication needs. {I'm writing this keeping in mind that Indian SME's are also reading this blog, as many of them have asked me @ bulk SMS services for marketing}. Largely SMS marketing is not considered while evaluating options for mobile world.
It is good for situations like:
- To send redeemable coupons, vouchers to your customers to boost sales
- Send Ads to create brand value.
- Send alerts & to do corporate information transmission.
But beware, with bulk SMS market been flooded, most of us think it as SPAM messages and delete them the very moment we receive it. Bulk SMS were ideally suited for alerts {delay in flights, bank transactions, emergency} but lure of business meant the means to cross over the dark side to SMS spam and marketing.
Need some examples where mobile is being used in business:
- Mobile Website: Like a website, you can get done your WAPsite. "Whats the difference?" The difference is the screen size, navigation, other features. the site you made for your web/desktop audience will not exactly map to mobile browser, making it very difficult for user to scroll through the page, large images and find the exact links to call or connect to you. A WAPsite takes into consideration all these aspects.
While making a mobile site consider following points:
- Consider about screen size, mouse movement, navigation, camera, messaging.
- Keep it fast. Avoid large images, animation {flash is not supported on all phones}
- Keep it simple. Short sentence, easy connect action {Contact links to call/SMS directly}
- Dont overspend on mobile site.It should be in continuation of your corporate look.
There is no sense making a mobile website and nobody knows about it.
How to promote your mobile website:
- Put it on your .com {Desktop website} when anybody open your desktop website, they immediately get to know about mobile one and easy switch.
- Put it on all your promotions { brochures, business cards, email signature, etc}
- You can start a mobile only promotion. Special offers/coupons on mobile website.
- Do some PR about your mobile website, you are among the early adopters, sure it will make news at least locally 🙂
- Text your key customers.
"At PayPal, when we look at our merchants' numbers, we're seeing the impact of mobile commerce jump:Our mobile transactions show dramatic growth, increasing nearly six-fold, from $25 million in 2008 to $141 million in 2009." – Courtesy Mashable
For smaller business, who are looking for out of box ideas to attract new customers, this is very attractive medium. New customers will like to browse and check if they find something of their interest, they would prefer mobile browser i.e. website instead of downloading whole application.
BUT the biggest obstacle to mobile web is connection, coverage, speed and data plan. This will be impacted with adoption of 3G.
Ok, now we know about SMS marketing, Mobile Website, "What's this Application Store? This is making lot of buzz in news these days? Whats the difference between Website and Application? What should I use and Why?"
It's an era of web2.0 and above i.e. not just brand communicating to their audience but and era where Businesses listen to their audience's voice, interact and have complete involvement.
- Mobile Applications: The user testing of people attempting tasks on their mobile devices shows that the apps have much higher usability than the websites.
- Performance: of application is better, easy navigation, content & image loading time.
- Offline mode: These apps can be accessed in offline mode, reducing lot of dependency on connection and cost.{before you pounce with comments on this 🙂 HTML5 Application cache technology does allow offline mode for mobile web but users at this stage are unlikely to remember that they can use these website even in disconnected state}
- Device attributes: Many features like GPS, accelerometer, send notification to user, camera etc can be used efficiently in apps.
- Better User Experience:
BUT After a new version of application is placed, it requires all existing users to upgrade to get it. This is more adapt for close user group.
- Convergence: Convergence between mobile web and mobile app is definitely a great option i.e.
- Mobile application interacting with web. (get and publish data)
- Mobile application incorporating web content. (show content from website)
Whatever business you're in, there's a good way to put the mobile Web to work.

July 28, 2011 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - The two Congressmen who have been intimately involved in national security issues, maintain that action is required to enable what Wolf [R, VA] called, "...an independent and comprehensive reassessment of the steps taken to guarantee the safety and security of this nation."
About the effort, King [R, NY] stated, "In March, I convened a series of hearings to examine domestic radicalization by al'Qaeda and affiliated terrorist organizations. This is the issue that Attorney General Eric Holder has said keeps him awake at night. A comprehensive and fresh analysis from a 9/11 Review Commission of our progress and remaining challenges will be an invaluable tool for the Homeland Security Committee and the entire Congress as we continue our critical work of securing our homeland from the ever'evolving al'Qaeda and its affiliates."
Both stressed that such a reconstituted body would also be directed to further explore the threat posed by the increasing radicalization of American Muslims, an item driven home today with the arrest of a Muslim soldier, PFC Nisan Jason Abdo [see, Naser Jason Abdo - Muslim Soldier Arrested In Plot To Bomb Ft. Hood] on terror related charges.

As last week wore on, Iowa fans on the message boards and podcasts seemed to be worried that with the emotional win over ISU, and the looming showdown with the Badgers, that the Hawks would be at risk against the Panthers.
Based on our defense mainly, and the fact UNI has not beaten Iowa since 1898, I obviously did not agree with that, with my score prediction.
I knew the defense would give UNI problems, and boy did they. Panthers, just 6, that is SIX, net rushing yards. Yes they got one TD on our first team defense, but only due to a blown call on a great 3rd down play by Gervase (pass interference), that allowed UNI to score the one TD on the first team. The second TD came on the reserves.
And yes I hoped that the Iowa offense would find some kind of rhythm, and after exchanging punts to start the game, the Hawks went on a 10 play, 92 yard drive, that ended with the quick out to Fant, and as he sauntered into the end zone, he had broken the passing TD record by Iowa tight ends, now with 14, and counting. If by chance he returns for his senior season in 2019, he will have at least doubled that record before he is done.
Nate would end up 23 for 28, for 309 yards, with two TDs, and one interception, that one a bad throw trying to dump it off over the middle, as Iowa looked to go up either 24-0 or 28-0 into the half. But overall, a very good sign that he and the Iowa receivers and tight ends are ready to go as season moves into the conference slate.
Easley, (welcome back), 10 snags for 103 yards, and the one over the shoulder catch for the TD that made the score 31-0, and told everyone in Kinnick that the game was over. He had just 1 catch in the first two games after leading Iowa in receptions in 2017. Back in the swing of things just in time.
Then Fant, 5 for 99, as UNI had nothing on the field that could stay with him. Had he not had the slight hip stinger he would probably have ended the game with at least 160 receiving yards. He did ease up on snaps as the game wore on, making sure he would be good to for this week.
Sargent, just 1 catch, but it went for 48 yards, as he snuck through a tackle and raced down the far sideline. A tailback, that was great to see that he can be a lethal threat out of the backfield.
Smith, 2 for 24, yay, think he is going to blow up one of these weeks. This would be a good one.
Tracy Jr, (backups 4th quarter) 1 for 22, Hockenson 2 for 16, Ross (the fullback) 1 for 10, Cooper 1 for 7, Ragaini (backups) 1 for 7, and tailback Young 1 for 2.
That is 10 difference wideouts and tailbacks and tight ends to catch passes last week, as Ferentz (Brain) called a great game. We will see if that trend can continue.
Rushing, Hawks 207 net, that will do the trick every week. Young 14 for 82, and Sargent 15 for 72.
Geil, 10 for 24, and Groeneweg (I would like to buy a vowel) 1 for 11, that on the jet sweep. Easley had a rush, for 9, then Mansell 2 for 6, and finally Ross, who dove over the line on his carry to snag Iowa a 1st down, 3 net yards. Well done Iowa O line and backs.
I Would Like to Buy a Vowel also had a great punt return that was held up by a holding call on the far side of the field - the opposite side of where the return was. If he could take one back this week - it would be huge.
And then Ojemudia had the one interception, as UNI got greedy and tried to go deep into double coverage. He took it back 29 yards, if Iowa could somehow find a pick-six this week - it's time for this Iowa defense to score a TD. Would it be too much to ask for two? Thank you.
So, Iowa got the max effort from the defense that we hope becomes commonplace as the season goes on, and the Iowa offense did find another gear, and that should give the next opponent something to think (worry) about as they head west.
Week 4: Wisconsin
Whereas Iowa did not look past UNI, the same cannot be said about Wisconsin. They were clearly thinking about the Big 10 opener. And so, Iowa does not get to pick off another top 5 ish team under the blackness of a Kinnick night game. But beating the #18 team and taking back the Heartland Trophy would be just as worthy.
The Badgers opened with Western Kentucky, and as figured, won 34-3. WKU is 0-3 on the season.
In week 2, New Mexico paid a visit to Madison, and left with a 45-14 loss. But the Lobos have won the two other games they have played to sit at 2-1.
But then last week, BYU came to Camp Randall, and they run one of those pre snap motion type offenses, and the Badgers had trouble with it.
They were also opportunistic, taking the one Badger turnover and taking it down for a TD. BYU had no turnovers themselves.
But it was the Badger kicking game that did them in, missing a 42 field goal with just over 30 seconds left that would have tied the game. BYU was then able to just kill the clock, and shock the Badgers 24-21. The conventual wisdom thought the Badgers would run the table - all they had to do was win the B1G title game. and they would be in the playoff. Now they are facing the Hawks staring down the barrel of a two game losing streak.
The Badgers are now lead by junior QB Hornibrook, #12. To date this season, 43 for 68 for 595, with 3 TDs and 2 interceptions (it was a pick that was the one turnover last week). He is not a threat to run with the ball, other than the high chance he will be running for his life this week. No, he does not need to run the ball
That is done by tailback Taylor, #23, now a sophomore. What did he do a a freshman? Oh, just 299 carriers for 1977 yards, with 13 TDs, and a long run of 75. The 1977, an all time Div 1 record for a freshman tailback.
To date, 77 carries for 515, that is 6.7 per carry, with 5 TDs, and a long of 47. He had 23 for 117 last week, but with no scores, and the Badgers would have really used a score from him.
And of course they run the pro-style offense just like us, (but the 3/4 defense, as ISU is now using), so there will be tight ends, wideouts, fullbacks, pretty much what our defense sees every day in practice.
Oh, and the Badgers have not yet faced any defense that is within light years of the one they face this week. Hello Badgers, signed, Hawkeye defense.
As of week 3, BYU has a defense ranked #66 in total defense, and #79 in rush defense, so Badgers, you really are going to get punched in the mouth when the bell sounds Saturday night.
And that motion offense allowed BYU to gash the Badgers for nearly 190 on the ground. This is not the Badger defense of the past few seasons, graduation has taken it's toll. Iowa should be able to get at least that on the ground, and there is word this week that our 3rd tailback is practicing and good to go, so we will have the lightening and thunder ready for the Badgers under the lights.
And if Iowa can get the ground and pound game going, Nate has shown that he is more in tune with those down-the-field passes in 2018, and with Smith now into the offense, Easley back in the swing of things, and Fant looking to one up the Badger tight ends, look for Stanley to continue the success of last week, and again go over the 300 yard marker.
Yeah, I know the Badgers are pissed they lost last week. But Iowa has had this game circled on the calendar since the 38-14 debacle in Camp Randall in 2017, and once the puck drops and the bodies start colliding, it's just a football game, and the best rivalry in Division 1 again takes center stage.
We don't need no stinking Badgers 20, Hawkeyes 34

Realising that potential within current legal and regulatory frameworks is not possible, according to researchers from Innogen and the J Kenyon Mason Institute for Medicine, Life Sciences and the Law (MI). They also point out that, from a business point of view, there are no established models to guide companies considering investment in RM therapies, and the value chains that are needed to enable translation to viable therapies do not exist.
Taking a broad approach which brings all the key issues together – including science and innovation strategies, governance and regulation issues, and public and stakeholder perspectives – is crucial, the researchers believe, in ensuring wider understanding of both the possibilities and implications of living in a RM world.
Scientists, social science and legal academics, policymakers and industry representatives will explore our readiness for regenerative medicine at an event held during the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) Festival of Social Science and co-hosted by the Innogen Institute and MI. Scientists developing new RM therapies, academics exploring the impact of RM, and those dealing with the practicalities of bringing new therapies from the lab to the patient will explain how they feel about RM in a 10-minute documentary, followed by discussion, in Edinburgh on 4 November.

Lifeguards in Australia pulled off a heroic rescue this week, but it wasn't the Baywatch-style, swim-headlong-into-danger kind. They took a more modern approach and let a drone take care of the dicey part.
This is a big moment for drones, as it's being heralded as a world's first. The two youths, aged 16 and 17, couldn't care less about that, of course. The pair got stranded They're just thankful the drone was nearby and ready to throw them a lifeline (or in this case a flotation device).
The two swimmers had ventured around a kilometer beyond the swim area's safety flags and became distressed after being caught in a ten-foot swell. Luckily for them, trainers from Westpac were just getting ready to teach a group of lifeguards how to use their company's Little Ripper (Archive.org link, their site is gett hammered) drones to assist in just such an emergency.
The drone was able to reach the victims in a flash — covering the 1000-plus meters in just 70 seconds, which is somewhere around 7 or 8 times faster than an elite Olympic swimmer in a nice, calm pool. Once in position, it dropped one of WestPac's inflatable lifesaving devices. Even in their fatigued state, the teenagers were able to cling to it and swim back to safety. You can see one of them lose hold for a short time after being slammed by a wave, but the "rescue pod" fortunately wasn't swept too far out of reach.
The drones are being deployed as part of a $430,000AUS trial aimed at reducing the number of drownings. Australia sees more than its fair share: nearly 300 deaths were recorded in the 2016/2017 reporting year.
Government officials in New South Wales are confident that the UAVs will help reduce that number. This week's unscheduled test seems to have been a resounding success, and there are at least two Australians who are 100% in favor of lifeguards getting the high-tech help.

How to make the most of work-vehicle expenses on your tax return
Whether you're using your own vehicle or a company car, it's essential to keep detailed records
Some people spend more work hours behind the wheel than behind a desk, but the tax rules governing business-related travel are complex.
- Tax season 2016: Special report
- Some workplace benefits come tax-free
- Home-office tax writeoffs can generate big savings
"It's based on driving patterns, it's based on the cost of the vehicle — there's a lot of different factors that come into play," said London, Ont., tax lawyer Don MacDonald of Marcus & Associates.
"Typically what I tell people here is you have to put pencil to paper … do the calculations and figure out what's best in a particular situation."
Whether you drive your own car for work, use a company vehicle or are self-employed, here are some tips for steering your way to the best possible tax return.
Keep a detailed logbook
You're personally responsible for keeping records to support your vehicle expense claims.
You should write down how many kilometres you drive for work, exactly where you're going, the nature of the trip and what expenses you incur along the way.
The more you claim, the more of a stickler the Canada Revenue Agency is likely to be about your records, MacDonald said.
"With the CRA, I've been involved in lots of reassessments where they've gone in and looked at the employees and said, 'You haven't got a proper logbook, so we're just assuming that it's all personal use,'" MacDonald said.
You can download a sample logbook online from tax firm PwC Canada.
When you drive your own car for work
Whether you're a business owner, a partner or an employee, if you use your personal vehicle for work, you can claim tax deductions so long as you meet the following criteria:
- You're regularly required to work away from the office. If you visit clients or take meetings in other cities, for example, you fit the bill.
- You pay the costs of work-related travel out of pocket. You'll have to get your employer to sign a T2200 form confirming this. If your company reimburses you or pays you a car allowance, you're in a different boat. More on that later.
If both of those apply, you're eligible for deductions related to costs incurred while driving for work, including gas, insurance, registration fees, repairs and general maintenance. You can also claim a percentage of leasing payments or of the capital cost of a car, as well as the interest paid on a loan to buy it.
These deductions depend on your work-to-personal use ratio. For example, if you have $1,000 in car-related expenses and you use your vehicle for work 50 per cent of the time, you can claim $500.
It's worth noting that a commute to and from work does not count as work-related travel.
This all comes back to keeping a detailed log of your driving habits.
When you get paid to to drive your own car
Double-dipping is not OK. If your employer reimburses you for work-related driving expenses or pays you an automobile and motor vehicle allowance, you can't claim vehicle expenses.
But the allowance must be based on a reasonable rate per kilometres driven for it to be considered to be tax-free. For 2016, the CRA considers the following reasonable:
- $0.54 per kilometre for the first 5,000 kilometres driven.
- $0.48 per kilometre driven after that.
- An additional $0.04 per kilometre for travel in the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut.
A good rule of thumb to follow, said MacDonald, is if your driving costs are higher than your allowance, report the allowance as income and deduct your expenses.
When you drive a company car
If your employer provides you a car, that's considered a taxable benefit. Two ways you might be taxed:
A standby charge: Meant to cover your personal use of a company car, this charge is usually two per cent of the original cost of the car or two-thirds of the lease costs, including PST and GST or HST, for each month of the year you have access to it.
You can get a reduction on this benefit if you prove you're using the car for business more than 50 per cent of the time. If you only use the car for work and leave it at the office at the end of the day, this charge can be waived.
An operating benefit: This reflects the personal portion of any operating expenses paid by your company. It's calculated based on a prescribed amount per-kilometre rate of personal use ($0.26/km for 2016) minus any costs you've reimbursed to the company.
You can bypass this charge completely by reimbursing your employer for all car-related expenses.
When you're self-employed
If you are your own boss, you calculate your expenses the same way as if you drive your own car for work, except you don't have to have an employer sign off on it.
Again, you're expected to keep a detailed logbook and calculate your expenses based on the total kilometres you drove during the year, and the total you drove for business purposes. You can claim deductions for gas, licence fees, insurance or maintenance incurred while driving for work purposes.

The reason we decided to hire a car and explore the West Coast while we were in the US was because of Havasu Falls.
For those of you who don't know, about a 70 mile drive from the nearest civilisation, and a further ten miles on foot, is the small town of Supai, home of the Hualapai tribe, one of the most remote communities in America. Around 600 people live there, and they are the last remaining village in the country to still receive their mail by mule, as a result of not having cars or roads in or out of the town.
Reservations to camp down on their land are few and far between, with the entire year's worth selling out in a matter of minutes every February. We spoke to people on our visit who had been trying for years to get a reservation with no luck, so we were fortunate to have snapped two up at the first time of asking.
If you haven't already seen the photos I've put up, there is a reason to hike all the way down to this remote area, and it isn't to have tea with the locals. Roughly two more miles from the village is an oasis of bright blue waterfalls, heavenly pools and cool, pristine streams that run through a mile-long campsite.
We began our journey by sleeping in our car. Due to the heat in the canyon all are advised to begin their journey early, so we arrived at the trailhead (a dusty car park with vile compost toilets and some scary wild horses), around 8pm, and "slept" in our car, waking up at 4:30 to pack up and begin the hike.
The walk down was surprisingly enjoyable, and as the sun was slowly rising, the canyon walls were lighting up from the top down, revealing the different layers and colours previously hidden in darkness. The first mile and a half was a 2000 feet descent on windy switchbacks which gave us great vantage points for photos, but already made us dread the hike out.
Around 3 hours later, we arrived in the village. Given its location and isolation, we weren't expecting luxury, but the cafe we visited (the only one down there), wasn't bad, and the mass of tourists made us feel like we were on an excursion, rather than in a tribe's home. We filled up on breakfast bagels and headed off on the final two miles into camp, passing Fifty Foot Falls, where we climbed down and had a paddle, Navajo Falls, and a constant, beautiful stream.
With tired, muddy feet and wet, sandy clothes, we finally arrived and set up our tent just a few feet away from the bright turquoise stream. Surrounded by high canyon walls, almost 100 miles away from a proper town or city or flushable toilet, I felt completely free of stress. No phone signal, no plug sockets, no work, it was a paradise in the middle of the desert, and despite the dehydrated food not being all that edible, it was amazing.
The day of arrival, we went to see Havasu Falls, the main attraction, and got an early night. Our first full day started early, awoken by the sound of running water, crickets and hikers who were leaving that day (slightly less relaxing). We were going to attempt what was a further eight mile round hike to Mooney and Beaver falls, two more features further into the canyon, but when we discovered that the climb down to the former was some chains and small foot holes on the side of the 300 foot cliff face, we (I) decided against it. Instead we lounged by the incredible but oh so cold waters of Havasu, where we took plenty of photos and video, and I found a spot to jump off a small fall.
After another poor night's sleep, we got packed up and began our hike out. Having taken around 3 and a half hours in total on the way in, I predicted 4 to 5 hours out, taking the ascent into consideration. Oh how wrong I was. SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS LATER, we reached our car, saved by a native who gave us four bottles of water when we'd completely run out and had that last mile and a half climb I mentioned earlier, in the hot midday desert sun. If he, and a lovely couple from L.A., hadn't given us water, I honestly think the next few days would have been spent criminally dehydrated and in need of medical help. However, it was totally worth it.
The hike out was the hardest thing either of us had ever done, and being that isolated and disconnected from the rest of the world was so out of our comfort zone. But the falls, the canyon, everything was near impossible to describe and something I will never see anything like ever again.
But in the moment, leaning against the car downing a cold Gatorade with weak legs and sunburnt nose, I was glad to be out and close to normality. Our next stop was the Grand Canyon, and although we were missing a little enthusiasm, weight and the rear floor mat of our Kia Sorento (long story), we were grateful for what we'd experienced and excited for a hot shower, comfy bed and one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Melanie Faye grew up in Nashville, but she doesn't credit Music City with her success. She credits Guitar Hero. Yes, that Guitar Hero, the video game that allows players to mimic the sounds and moves from their favorite stars. For Faye, it was Michael Jackson.
"I don't think growing up in Nashville introduced me to guitar players," Faye says. "My parents were chemists. I was not able to go to bars and see local shows. Guitar Hero introduced me to all this music I was not exposed to. Guitar Hero looked really cool. It made me feel empowered."
So, perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise that Faye, now 20, has found fame via YouTube. After dropping out of college three semesters in to pursue her music career, Faye posted videos of herself sitting in her bedroom and playing covers of John Mayer and Mariah Carey.
She also used the platform to debut some of her original work, which she describes as a mixture of R&B, hip hop, and pop. Her voice, serious guitar-playing chops, and friendly demeanor propelled those videos to more than 10 million views. She was so popular that the guitar company Fender tapped her to demo a new line of the instrument.
"I thought, 'This is it! I'm viral. I made it!' But it does not work that way," she says. Faye makes ends meet by working at a local doughnut shop and teaches guitar. She also keeps working on her music the old-fashioned way, having been tapped to be the opening act for musicians like Noname and Mac Demarco. Her most recent gig was at the Nashville Creator Awards.
She is working on her first album, which she hopes will be out by the year's end. A self-proclaimed perfectionist, Faye has been working on Homophone for years.
"If I had known it was going to take this long," she says, "I wouldn't have told people it was going to be out soon."
Faye is also working to relieve the jitters that come with performing live, rather than in front of a camera. A recent show at the Hollywood Palladium was a game changer.
"I typically am really shy and inhibited on stage. But I felt so much support and positive energy, I just let loose," she remembers. "I think to an extent you just have to have fake confidence at first. I walked up and had a confident demeanor and once I heard crowd cheering, then I was confident."

This week on Sunday Night: Jamie Oliver and Jonestown
Thursday 25 October, 2018
He's one of the world's most celebrated chefs, but lately Jamie Oliver has been making news for all the wrong reasons. Jamie's business empire has hit troubled times with the collapse of his global chain of Italian restaurants. After losing more than $35 million, some of Jamie's restaurants have been shut down – putting hundreds of employees out of work. Jamie speaks from the heart about the impact of the devastating business failure. But, as reporter Matt Doran discovers, Jamie has found comfort in doing what he loves, and does, best.
Sunday Night's Melissa Doyle journeys into the remote jungles of South America, following the footsteps of the most dangerous cult leader of all time. His name was Jim Jones – a charismatic preacher responsible for what is now known as the 'Jonestown Massacre'. It's been 40 years since more than 900 men, women and children died after the deranged preacher ordered them to consume a deadly cyanide-laced drink. In what Mel describes as the most fascinating story she has ever told, she returns to Jonestown with two survivors who share a surprising story of courage and resilience.

Prayer for All Souls' Day
Regard O most merciful Father, the face of Thy Son our Lord, Jesus Christ and release the souls of the faithful departed from their purgation. In virtue of the Holy Sacrifice which ascends before Thee, cleanse their souls from all defilements and all obstacles to the sight of Thy sacred face. Hear the cries of the Church for the end to their suffering so that they may enter Thy presence without stain. Father, grant us all final perseverance in holy charity so we may all share the inheritance of the saints in light.

A shelf holds two stacks of items which will not deteriorate due to exposure from outdoors. Think of a shelf as a 2-tile Stockpile. Their default setting is to contain weapons only. Shelves can be reinstalled as needed and do not block passage. Shelves take the place of any stockpile on its 2 tiles. Like Stockpiles, shelves also have a priority.
The shelf does not have beauty regardless of its quality. However, any items stored within it will remove the ugliness they would otherwise have if left on the ground. The shelf will remove the filth penalty on its occupying tiles but ignores the beauty or lack thereof on the floor underneath.
The 'ugliness reset' of shelves makes them useful for storing raw materials near work spaces without negatively affecting the colonists spending time there. For instance, shelves allow neat storage of Medicine within a hospital, an otherwise -4 to decor if left on the floor. Another example would be storing the materials necessary to make Medicine near a drug lab. Crafting medicine requires three raw materials: cloth, herbal medicine and neutroamine, which anyone might have stored respectively in the tailor's stock and hospital pharmacy. The distance between those stocks and the drug lab will waste large amounts of time that could have been used to craft more medicine instead. Another use of this would be to place food stocks close to your stoves. Your cooks will pick from this, while your haulers restock the shelves as they can.
Shelves also protect their contents from exposure, including outdoors. This makes them useful to preserve weapons and mortar shells close to defense structures.
Version history
In Alpha 16, it was known as the Equipment rack and could only store apparel, mortar shells, or weapons.

June 28 (UPI) -- Michelle Rodriguez says flimsy female roles have led her to consider leaving Fast & Furious.
The 38-year-old actress, who plays Letty Ortiz in the film series, called out the franchise Tuesday on Instagram for not showing enough "love" to the female stars.
"F8 is out digitally today, I hope they decide to show some love to the women of the franchise on the next one. Or I just might have to say goodbye to a loved franchise," Rodriguez wrote.
"It's been a good ride & Im grateful for the opportunity the fans & studio have provided over the years... One Love," she added.
Rodriguez previously threatened to leave the series after producers suggested a love triangle plot line for Letty. She discussed the incident and other with the franchise in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published in May.
"At the end of the day, the only leverage I have as an individual is my participation," the actress said. "I'm not hard to work with. I just demand a certain level of respect for the individual character."
"Having girls run around and do a bunch of really cool stuff, that's great, it's wonderful, but we never talk to each other," she added. "I've been making movies with Jordana [Brewster], who plays the sister of Dom Toretto, for 16 years and I can count on one hand how many lines I've had to her. I think that's pathetic and it's lack of creativity."
Rodriguez portrayed Letty in five Fast & Furious films, including the most recent, The Fate of the Furious. The series co-stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, and has featured Elsa Pataky and Charlize Theron.

This past Friday, I did my usual A Note to Skinny Girls. Not only did I get the most feedback, and comments on a post, but I was also confronted by the bully herself. To be honest, at the beginning, I was furious, and upset and wanted to ramble more about what she and others had done to me during childhood. After thinking about this for
about a minute ten minutes, I just stopped being angry, and then the biggest smile came on my face. My blog has made it so far to the point that it is affecting people around me. My characters in my blogs all have made up names, and the fact that someone took the time to study my post and really look into it, makes me feel so great.
Now, there were a couple of things that were mentioned to me that I would just like to clarify with the blog world.
1) Bullying is a bad bad thing. Bullying happens no matter what your weight, age, height, color, income. This blog is aimed at helping fat girls, or kids in general. I am telling my personal story and doing so in a humorous way. It's been over fifteen years since I've been bullied. I will not blame one person for the way I turned out, but I will sometimes go back and think about how poorly I was treated. I do not see any harm in doing that.
2) I don't hate skinny people. In fact I love them. Skinny people are people too, and I understand that at times they could get bullied for their looks as well. Some people are born with good genes and some people aren't. I just happened to get the fat genes, unlike most of the people around me.
3) In order to get this surgery, I needed to go through a long process of therapy as well as questioning and hard thinking if this was the right thing to do. Clearly I was ready for this, as the doctors approved of this surgery and were ready to cut me open.
4) Healthy is my goal, not skinny.
I won't dwell on this subject any longer, as there is no point in continuing to ramble about the same garbage. I am happy now. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. Things just seem to be looking up, and the scale just seems to be going down.
If you don't like what I have to say, there's that red "x" at the top of your window; go ahead and close that and go play on Facebook and stalk some people you haven't spoken to in years.
I don't blame anyone for the way I turned out, I can't! I can only be proud of myself for the person I'm becoming.
35 pounds down! Look at that huge smile on my face!

I was quoted in Handwoven Magazine!!! It's on page 11!!! Go look!!!
You know how cool it was to see my name in print in my most favorite reading material?! Wow, that really made my day!! This is the first time my name has appeared in this magazine, but I have a goal someday to write an article and get it published here!
Even though that was really exciting, I'm kind of sad at how crinkled and ripped my magazine came this time. I usually take such good care of my stuff and to have it arrive in this condition was kind of heartbreaking, especially when my name is printed in it! Oh well, at least now if my water bottle leaks on it or I mess it all up, now I won't feel as bad!

Published at Wednesday, July 24th, 2019 - 05:30:09 AM. Patio. By Silvain Beaumanoir.
In decorating your home with the right patio furniture, you should plan what type of furniture fits your patio, your lifestyle and your budget. There are several pieces to choose from that are available online or in the nearest home and furniture stores in your area. Transforming your dull patio into a relaxing and breath-taking place, you must take some time to do a little a research to have the best patio furniture in your home.
Outside, the weather can harsh. When winter is depriving you of outdoor treats, install a heater in the patio. A heater can keep you warm and cozy. You will be able to enjoy the open-air whenever you want. Heaters for the outdoors come in all sorts of form. They can be hanging, standing and stand on table.

The markets have been volatile and prices are down, but farmers are feeling more optimistic about their financial prospects, according to the most recent Purdue/CME Ag Economy Barometer.
The July index, which was released Tuesday, showed an uptick of 8 points to a reading of 112. That's the highest reading since Purdue began tracking producer sentiment in October 2015.
What gives? After all, December corn prices closed at $3.34 on Tuesday.
The answer has to do with the long-term outlook for agriculture.
"Although the uptick in crop prices this spring was short-lived and prices retreated in late June and July, it appears the price rally boosted producers' expectations regarding future economic conditions in agriculture," according to the Purdue analysis. "In other words, the rally did not substantially improve perspective regarding near-term economic conditions, but the ability of crop prices to trade, albeit briefly, at levels substantially higher than observed since last year (approaching $4.50 per bushel for corn and $12 for soybeans) did affect producers' views regarding future economic conditions in production agriculture."
While crop prices may be low right now, farmers don't expect them to stay this low forever. The share of producers expecting higher prices for corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton all rose in July, according to the Ag Economy barometer.
Growers also feel positive about growing value for farmland. According to the survey, 23% of respondents said they expected to see higher prices for farmland 12 months from now, which is the highest reading so far. The percentage of farmers who see farmland as good investment also increased, moving up 10 percentage points since May to 62% in July.
Purdue researchers also noted that falling crop prices and softening demand have led to some financial relief for growers, which may also be a factor in July's improved reading.
"Producers' improving view of the long run was likely buoyed by declines in their cost structure, driven by declines in fertilizer prices and cash rents during 2016. It appears that a combination of lower production costs and a brief rally in crop prices this spring was enough to restore some of producers' long-run optimism."
