PPS to create procedures for renaming schools, mascots
Sparked by a long-running complaint from a group of Franklin High School parents, the Portland Public Schools board is looking to develop policies and procedures on the renaming of schools and mascots.
The move could have implications across the city as conversations continue over controversial namesakes — from Woodrow Wilson High School to Harvey Scott K-8 School. Several of the city's approximately 80 schools are named after local or national historical figures with controversial track records. (Critics say President Wilson was racist and Scott, The Oregonian editor from 1866-1872, was anti-suffragist.)

Later this month, the Humboldt Neighborhood Association is hosting a community discussion of the propriety of the name of North Portland's Thomas Jefferson High School. Since 2012, the association has opposed the use of the names of slave-owners and those "who did not respect equal opportunity for all" for public institutions.
The Franklin Quakers
Mia Pisano, a Franklin parent who is a practicing Quaker, said she has organized for six school years to change the name of Franklin High School's mascot or nickname, the Quakers. Pisano feels that there are many reasons why it is inappropriate for a religious term to be used for Franklin High School's teams, snack shop and other school spirit activities.
"The use of the name of any religion in this manner by a public school sends several subtle messages," Pisano said. She feels that it shows a group is free to appropriate the name of another group, and that non-Christian people may feel less welcome.
Pisano is joined by five other Franklin parents on a formal complaint to the district this fall. The new superintendent recommended to the board in a Dec. 14 letter that district policy be reviewed.
Franklin High School is named after founding father Benjamin Franklin, who was not a Quaker but was Pennsylvanian. The University of Pennsylvania's mascot is the Quaker and somehow the name stuck more than a century ago, according to the Franklin parents' complaint. The group suggests other names could be more representative of Franklin's legend: the Inventors, Diplomats, Lightning or Kite-Fliers, for example.
"What the superintendent is finding is there's not anything in our policy that would provide for review of a mascot change," said school board chair Julia Brim-Edwards at a Friday board policy task force meeting.
However, Pisano disagreed, saying that the current policy already disallows the use of religious terms for school property.
"Unless the district has policy allowing the names of religions to be used, we feel it was never allowed," she said, adding that she believes the term cannot be separated from its religious meaning.
Brim-Edwards directed the PPS legal office to research the Quaker name and write appropriate policy language for conducting reviews of public names. This could be borrowed from similar recent name review efforts at Oregon State University and University of Oregon, she said.
"I think it's a good discussion to have. I think many of the names we take for granted because that's what they've always been named," Brim-Edwards said, adding: "It'll be important to have a policy that we can use as the right filter for that discussion."
The group of Franklin parents agreed to suspend their complaint to give the new administrators time to work out the details. The district has had significant administrative turnover in recent years, which is part of why the process has taken this long.
"It is somewhat tragic-comic how many back-and-forths this process has had so far," said Franklin parent Chris Myers.
But board member Rita Moore said she wants to be sure the policy process is done before summer vacation so the community has a chance to participate in debating a name change.
The Humboldt Neighborhood Association discussion on Jefferson High School's name will be Jan. 29 from 5:30 to 7:45 p.m. upstairs at the North Portland Library, 512 N Killingsworth St.

Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines(2001 Vintage) Here is a mid-sized Merlot that eschews strength and evident extract in favor of polish. Its mild black-cherry themes are given a lift by slightly creamy oak, and, if tending a little to dryness at the finish, it is a pleasant, lightly tannic and wholly useful wine for near- to mid-term drinking.

A Instant that may begin in American culture and heritage to mirror a flash of peace in a time of war, symbolizing an exciting new kind of passive resistance, coined by Ginsberg's 1965 essay titled The best way to Make a March/Spectacle.

Website Design & Development
Dissertation Project
The purpose of this dissertation study was to investigate what determines user engagement and perceived sense of safety on a website. The literature review researched into content management systems to discover current methods of developing websites. The topics of user experience and user interface design were also explored to understand user needs and design principles, as well as social integration to discover how users interact in an online setting.
What could be gauged from this research is to pose the question, to what extent does design effect user engagement? From this, two alternative music news websites were developed using WordPress. The two developments had identical content, although the content itself was presented uniquely, as strategically implemented design choices were added in attempt to influence the level of user engagement.
One website 'SoAlternative' was designed to look friendly with extravagant graphics and animations but contained minor usability issues. Whereas its rival 'Indie Bite' was made to look more professional and have the greater usability. Which one would users prefer?
SoAlternative's logo set out to produce a positive impact, with it's quirkiness and sense of fun. An emoji would resonate and be instantly recognisable to users and come across as playful.
Indie Bite
Indie Bite's logo exudes authority and aimed to hit users with professionalism and a greater sense of trust.
Design & Layout
SoAlternative set out to produce greater emotional response by evoking and a fun community environment. SoAlternative aimed to distract users with elaborate graphics, animated elements and vibrant colours.
However, the usability obstacle was that there was a greater amount of scrolling required to find news articles.
Contrastingly, Indie Bite was designed to appear as more formal and articles were placed into convenient rows for greater usability.
The colour of blue was also implemented to depict the website as calmer and a more sensible community environment.
A diverse sample of 20 participants were asked to explore both websites and then move onto the questionnaire. The questionnaire measured quantitative data such as emotional response with regard to colours, graphics and how easy it was to find information on each website. Qualitative data was also collected as participants were given opportunity to offer a reflection on their overall experience.
The studies' most significant finding was that the majority of the participants who completed the questionnaire were most engaged with the professional website 'Indie Bite', as it felt more trustworthy, authentic and most usable. The general consensus also perceived Indie Bite as safer, proving those design implementations correct.
This would conclude that the most important factor in why users would rather revisit a particular website would be for its usability and how quickly users can achieve their goal. The study discovered that elaborate graphics and vibrant colours should be only used in moderation, and should never be prioritised over usability. Ultimately, finding the right balance between aesthetically pleasing and utility will produce a good emotional response.

£2 million to fight rogue landlords
Over 50 local authorities across England are to receive funds to help tackle 'landlords who make tenants' lives a misery', the government has said.
Announced by housing minister Heather Wheeler yesterday, the councils will each take a share of a £2.4 million pot which the government says should be used to boost short-term staffing and create new digital tools.
Using my trusty calculator, I find that £2.4m divided by 50 equals £48,000 per council which doesn't seem like a huge amount to fight rogue landlords with, especially when it's actually being spread among an ambiguous 'over 50' councils.
Anyway, minister Wheeler said: 'Everyone has the right to live in a home that is safe and secure, and it is vital we crack down on the small minority of landlords who are not giving their tenants this security.
'This extra funding will further boost councils' ability to root out rogue landlords and ensure that poor-quality homes in the area are improved, making the housing market fairer for everyone.'
Here are some examples of where the funding's going:
- Walsall – to improve cross-agency enforcement work, including the innovative use of drones and thermal mapping to identify problem properties
- Lancaster – to create a training programme for existing enforcement staff across the Lancashire region
- Greater London Authority (GLA) and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) – allocated over £330,000 between them to carry out coordinated work to tackle rogue landlords who operate across multiple local authorities in their regions

I've been thinking about New Year's resolutions a bit lately because, well it's the New Year. And this time of year is the lifeblood of the fitness industry. We're all hoping that this is the year that the miracle transformation takes place right? It occurred to me recently that I can't think of one miracle, biblically speaking, that isn't preceded by an act of sacrifice or faith. Sometimes it's both. There are some obvious ones that come to mind for me. (side note- if you aren't a believer, stick with me as there's wisdom in this) The account of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is actually a story of both. For those of you unfamiliar with the account of these three, King Nebuchadnezzar, the most powerful man in the world at the time, erected a statue of himself and demanded everyone bow down to it.
These three devout Jewish men, slaves captured in war and servants to the King, refused to do so out of love and respect for their God. The King, enraged by this, threatened to have all three of them thrown into a furnace and burned alive if they didn't give in. Their response was epic.
"Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, 'King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." – Daniel 3:16-18
"The God we serve will deliver us from it." (Act of faith)
"Even if he does not" (Act of sacrifice)
Their declaration of faith and willingness to sacrifice their lives rather than offend their God was followed up by an appearance of, at the very least an angel of the Lord, and what some believe to be Jesus, showing up to protect them. True to his word, Nebuchadnezzar had them thrown into the fire. Once there, the fourth man appeared in the fire with them and kept them safe to the point that not even their clothing smelled of smoke. A miracle indeed.
Another great example of this combination of either sacrifice or faith preceding a miracle can be seen in the encounter between Jesus and the Roman Centurion whose servant was sick. He came to Jesus seeking help. He explained the situation and Jesus responded by asking, "Should I come to your home?" The Centurion's answer was thick with faith. "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." This whole encounter can be seen in Mathew 8:5-13. Just say the word and I will know it's done. That was the soldiers' response. That's faith folks.
Okay, here's an easy one. Nearly everyone, believer or not, has likely heard the story of the Apostle Peter and his brief attempt to walk on water. Well, I shouldn't say attempt because he actually did it, even if it was short lived.
"Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. 'It's a ghost,' they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: 'Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.' 'Lord, if it's you,' Peter replied, 'tell me to come to you on the water.' 'Come,' he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, 'Lord, save me!' Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. 'You of little faith,' he said, 'why did you doubt?' And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, 'Truly you are the Son of God.'- Mathew 14:25-27
Now the Scripture doesn't say that Peter debated on whether or not he should jump in the water. It doesn't bring up any discussion with Jesus. There was no event with Jesus saying "Come" and Peter looking at the water and then yelling back "Are you sure?" It just says that Jesus said "Come" and Peter went. (Act of faith) Think about that for a minute. Peter got to walk on water because he jumped when Jesus told him to do something seemingly nuts. It wasn't until he stopped focusing on Jesus that things went south for him.
I bring all of this up for a reason. How many of us are looking for a fitness "miracle", especially this time of the year, without putting in the sacrifice or exercising faith? We have all seen the amazing before and after pics in magazines or on websites. We all want that, but are we willing to do the work? Are we willing to keep going when it gets tough, when we're about to be put in the metaphorical fire?
What is it about your current lifestyle that needs to be sacrificed in order to accomplish your goal or resolution? Is it late night eating while you work on projects for school or your job? Is it pizza night with your friends? Do you need to sacrifice staying up late watching TV so that you have time to get workouts in before work? (That one is me) What do you need to put on the alter?
Are you showing faith? Okay, you're asking yourself "What does faith have to do with fitness"? Well let me ask you this, if you don't have faith in what you're doing, will you stick with it? Because if you don't stick with it, you have no shot of succeeding.
And if you are a believer, let me ask you a serious question. Have you asked God to take part in your physical journey? I think that sometimes we as Christians feel like asking God to take part in a physical transformation is somehow beneath him. We feel like it's not important enough for him to take part in something that can be construed as vain. I have two points for you to consider:
- If he knows you so well that he has counted every hair on your head, it's safe to say that he's interested in your physical health.
- He has put you here for a purpose. Being a healthier, stronger, and more energetic version of yourself will help you pursue that purpose with more vigor.
Oh and here's a bonus point. Wanting to be healthy and look good is not vain. Letting that desire supersede things that are more important is the real issue. (Kind of like the idea that money isn't bad, the love of money is bad)
So in closing, if you are looking for the dramatic or miraculous in your physical walk, if your looking to make a resolution that sticks and makes an impact, here's your checklist:
- make the sacrifices you need to make
- put your faith into something that will work
- be consistent with it
- last but most of all, pray about it and invite Him into the journey. He's already there anyways.
Happy New Year!

Actor Ken Watanabe was nominated for a Tony Award for his Broadway debut as the King of Siam in The King and I in 2015, and this summer he reprises his role in the show at the London Palladium. Watanabe stars alongside Kelli O'Hara in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, which is about Anna, a British teacher who is hired by the king to help drive the modernisation of his country. It features musical standards such as "Getting to Know You", "Shall We Dance?" and "I Whistle a Happy Tune".
Sure, it's old-fashioned and a bit creaky. But The King and I is also - to quote one of its utterly glorious catalogue of standards - something wonderful.

When asked on how Google makes money, Alphabet Chairman Eric Schmidt told the Startup Fest Europe conference: "I have been at Google and Alphabet for 15 years and it has always been advertising and I suspect it will always be advertising, because advertising is such a large part of the global phenomena, and because our advertising is more accurate as a return on investment." "We are obviously going to have growth in these other areas, but the advertising space is so large and our advertising system is so good in terms of delivering the right ad that I think it will remain so." Schmidt went on to suggest the use of new technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence is helping Google to create more targeted, personalised advertising: "Our tools will get better and better at getting the right ad for you in the right place in these new architectures".Per the Drum, 5-30-16

By Sharon T. Markey, Special to ASSIST News Service
KYIV, UKRAINE (ANS – April 26, 2016) — Last month I wrote about the unique experience of third-culture kids, children who are raised in a culture other than the culture of their parents and who subsequently develop a third culture that is a blend of the two cultures. You can read part 1 here for more details and specific examples drawn from our lives on the mission field. This month I'd like to revisit this topic.
I ended last month's column with the admission that we are expecting our fifth child, and sometimes I wonder if my husband and I are being wise or responsible to have so many children when the missionary lifestyle is so uncertain. Besides the fact that we are almost completely dependent on the generosity of others for our monthly income, we also currently live in a country that is in a de facto state of war. Granted, we have personally been spared all the difficulties and dangers that go along with that, but many thousands of people in other parts of Ukraine, including children and the elderly, have not. We know one missionary family who had to evacuate, and just this month a dear Ukrainian friend of ours who makes regular trips to the eastern part of Ukraine to take aid and bring the hope of the Gospel to the people still living there posted an urgent request for prayer on Facebook because the city where she was ministering was being bombed! She made it through the night safely and continues to minister, but thousands of civilians have died in the fighting in eastern Ukraine, and the death toll continues to rise.
However, despite these questions that sometimes arise in my mind, I realized long ago (and wrote about it here) that no matter where you live, safety is an illusion, and the best place to be is firmly in the center of God's will. Even this does not ensure protection from all harm, but it guarantees a life of purpose and meaning and no regrets. And as far as the number of kids we will soon have goes, I am convinced that it is God who opens and closes the womb, sometimes withholding conception when there is no medical reason for infertility, and other times granting it miraculously to couples who should not be able to conceive. The real question is not how many kids should we have, but do I trust Him to give us the number He wants?
As I look around me, I realize that large families on the mission field are not uncommon. In the last three generations of my husband's family alone, there have been seven missionary families with four or more children, with two more large families soon to join their ranks. And outside of our family, I know a number of other large missionary families. In fact, in my personal experience, missionary families tend to be larger than non-missionary families. Part of this could be because the type of people who are likely to become missionaries are also the type of people who are more likely to trust God with their family planning, but I've only known three exceptionally large missionary families (with eight or more children), so I don't think that fully explains the trend. What I mean is that most of the large missionary families I know have four or five kids, not eleven or so. To me this says that their family size is deliberate, not the result of a strict decision to trust God with their family planning, since couples who are committed to never using any form of contraception usually have more than four or five children. So why do I know so many large missionary families? Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that missionary parents realize that having more kids is beneficial to the emotional wellbeing of their children.
Due to their unique experiences and multi-cultural point of view, missionary kids can find it difficult to connect deeply with their peers, unless they happen to be other missionary kids. On top of that, the missionary lifestyle often involves frequent moves, so missionary kids are constantly leaving behind the friendships they have formed and being forced to develop new ones. Take a moment and imagine having these experiences as an only child or as a child with just one or even two siblings. Now imagine going through all the challenges of life as a missionary kid with a network of three or more of your closest friends in the world always beside you, experiencing everything along with you. This is the advantage of being a missionary kid in a large family. You always have plenty of playmates, and they actually understand your unusual way of expressing yourself in a mix of two or more languages. What if it's your birthday in a new city, and you haven't made any friends yet? Just add cake and presents to a family meal, and you've got an instant party! And being the new kid at school yet again is less intimidating when you know that all your brothers and sisters are somewhere in the same building, and you'll all debrief together when the day is over.
My husband was a missionary kid, and he has eight brothers and sisters. When I first met his family, I was amazed by how close they all were, and that closeness has endured, despite the fact that they are now scattered across three continents of the globe. They share a deep connection, born partly of a parenting philosophy that taught them they were destined to become each other's best friends, but also forged in the fires of shared experience as they moved from rural Indiana to the chaotic world that was post-Soviet Ukraine in 1992.
Life was hard for nearly everyone in Ukraine at that time, and that certainly included this American family who didn't speak the language, had few contacts, and didn't even have a place to stay when they arrived! But they had each other, and that made a huge difference. They also had a wonderful sense of adventure, instilled in them by their mother Pam who had grown up in Africa as the daughter of missionaries. Her parents had taught her that she and her three brothers were the luckiest children in the world because of all the amazing things they got to experience living in the bush, and they believed it. Years later when Pam was raising her own kids on the mission field, she tried to instill this belief in them too. Life in Ukraine might not have included leopards, giraffes, and hippos, but moving from the family farm in Indiana to Kyiv, a city of several million that even had its own metro system, was the adventure of a lifetime.
This sense of adventure is evident when my husband and any of his siblings get together and reminisce about the early days. They don't focus on the hardships they endured. Sure, they might mention the eleven mice they caught in the run-down hotel they were forced to use for their first month in the country, but even that memory is shared in a spirit of amusement and incredulity, not negativity. And they are far more likely to recall how funny they must have looked trooping around the city en masse, sporting bright white sneakers and fanny packs in a country where both items were unknown. Or they might talk about exploring the city in pairs to discover new things and bring back a report to the rest of the family. All their memories include each other and a reassuring sense that someone always had your back.
The stories that predominate in these family trips down memory lane focus on how God was moving in the hearts and lives of young Ukrainians and the amazing privilege of getting to be a part of what He was doing. This experience was the greatest advantage of growing up on the mission field and had a profound impact on each child. All of them came to realize that a life lived in pursuit of their own dreams would ultimately be unfulfilling, unless they first allowed God to redesign those dreams to have eternal significance. My husband, who planned to become an engineer prior to moving to Ukraine, earned his master's degree with honors from Kyiv's top university but decided to devote his life to church planting. One of his brothers, a talented athlete and musician, turned his back on a bright future in professional soccer and later the dream of becoming a concert pianist to serve God as a song writer, worship leader, and pastor. Another brother gave up what would have been a well-to-do life in the United States to move his family to northern Siberia to take the Gospel to an unreached group of nomadic reindeer herders. And the stories go on, with each child ultimately making a decision to live for God's glory among the nations rather than pursuing his or her own comfort or fulfillment. And you know what? Not one of them regrets the choice. They have learned that no pursuit in life is sweeter than following the dreams God has dreamed for us. I hope and pray that one day my own children discover this truth for themselves.
Author's note: If you're interested in learning more about how God has used the Markey family in Ukraine and beyond, read Distant Fields, the biography of my late father-in-law, available here.

Build Answer-Generating Apps That Users Love

Shane Swiderek, Sherman Wood, Chad Lumley, Rachael Ross, Crystal Phiripes
Learn development best practices for embedding analytics in your application
More and more employees (not just data analysts or C-level execs) are expected to make data-driven decisions, yet only 20–25% of workers have access to business intelligence (BI) products. But when asked, your end users don't want to use a "BI tool"—another interface to learn, another login—they want easily accessible answers. Instead of offering a standalone dashboard, the new trend is to embed analytics into applications that are already used every day.
This workshop series features a brand-new demo application—created by TIBCO Jaspersoft and projekt202—that illustrates and teaches you how to create answer-generating applications of your own. Over the course of 4 webinars, we will introduce you to the what and the why of data as a feature applications and how you can build your own.

Digital Twins for Yield
Jun 6 2019
24 mins
Mike Alperin, Manufacturing Industry Consultant, Steven Hillion, Sr. Director Data Science
Digital twins are virtual representations of physical systems. The current interest in them is fueled by the convergence of IoT, machine learning and big data technology. As process complexity increases, they are becoming key to efficient operations and high product yields.
There is now a demand for 'wide-and-big data' analytic solutions that detect associations between product quality metrics and thousands to millions of process variables. These cutting edge solutions can support root-cause and predictive analyses. Further, the results must be available close to "real-time" to enable useful process interventions — for example to identify subtle equipment changes, process shift or drift, or to predict and remedy substandard yield for a lot in the line.
This webinar focuses on the implementation of a semiconductor manufacturing digital twin for yield that detects associations between product quality metrics and up to millions of predictor process.
What you will see via demos and learn about:
-How hybrid big-data plus in-memory systems are being utilized to address the various new analytic and IT-architecture problems associated with this challenge
-How to combine large-scale distributed analytics capabilities with comprehensive server- and in-memory-based advanced analytics
-How to deliver actionable interactive results through intelligent visualizations.

Will Robots Take Over Our Jobs?
Apr 4 2019
38 mins
Michael O'Connell, TIBCO Chief Analytics Officer and Ritika Sehgal, TIBCO Director of Analytics
There's been much speculation in the press, from central banks and global forecasters, CEOs of tech giants, and social commentators, that artificial intelligence (AKA robots) will lead to automation and a mass reduction in workforce.

-Examine patterns of innovation and disruptive change in other industrial revolutions to see how jobs were affected
-Uncover what CXOs really think based on surveys by global consultancies, leading universities, and TIBCO's 2018 CXO innovation survey
-Look at how TIBCO has been a serial innovator and how these innovations can help drive a productivity boom in your business or organization
