Feb 6 2019
41 mins
Samantha Stone, Founder, The Marketing Advisory Network
Have you ever presented a killer campaign only to have management reject it because they didn't like it? Or worse, did you get pressured to move forward with creative elements you knew wouldn't resonate with your buyer? Or maybe what you're getting back from design is not hitting the mark and you can't figure out why? The disconnect between our buyers and those who approve campaigns is often large and painful to cross. Yet bridging the gap between the art and science of marketing is a job we can't afford not to optimize.
In this session, we'll explore proven methods for using buyer insights to not only enable creative processes to thrive but to appeal to the measurement obsessed approvers at the company.

How esports can combine old and new monetization models to reach new heights
Dec 4 2018
60 mins
Dean Takahashi, Lead Writer, GamesBeat
Money is pouring into esports. There are more players, more games, more viewers, and bigger prize pools — and companies are taking note. Investment is coming from all angles, and everyone is looking for a piece of the pie. But many of the existing monetization models of esports only seek to follow the tried and true formats from traditional sports.
There is a lot for the video game industry to learn from the legacy sports broadcast model; but there's a catch: The video games industry uses some of the world's most advanced interactive technology to create some of the world's most compelling entertainment experiences.
So why would we just do it the same way as before? The answer? We probably won't. Not for long at least.
In this special session, our panel of experts will unpack the old and the new of esports, and explore where genuine innovation may come from in the future. We'll discuss how to get the most out of traditional methods, and how some companies are experimenting with new approaches to engaging with audiences and driving revenue.
Register now to join us for free.
Attend this webinar and learn:
* How the current esports model stacks up against traditional sports, and where the money is coming from now
* The new technologies that will change the existing business model
* The difference between formal esports and personalized broadcasting — and what those differences mean for your bottom line

Adaptive Messaging: Customer Experience - the Lever to Improve Demand Generation
Dec 4 2018
49 mins
Jason Stewart, VP, Strategic Content, Annuitas
Knowing that customer experience is often the differentiator driving customer loyalty and advocacy, it's top of mind in nearly every B2B organization. However, some companies fail to understand that the customer experience begins before the purchase, not afterwards. Companies that seize the opportunity to differentiate with a pre-purchase experience that stands apart will reap the rewards. Quite simply, optimizing and improving the customer experience early in the buyer's journey can dramatically impact revenues.
In this webinar you will learn:
• How your messaging needs to change as your buyer moves through the funnel
• Why the customer experience matters, even before they actually become customers
• Keys to understanding your buyer's journey
• How to better match the medium to the message
ANNUITAS VP of Strategic Content Jason Stewart will share how your messaging needs to adapt to the needs of the buyer. Content, engagement and process need to be driven by a strategy that focuses on the buyer, and that has a goal of improving and optimizing their experience all the way through the funnel. Move away static, one-size-fits-all messaging focused on product or services and improve the customer experience before the sale.

Enabling Content in Chatbots and AI: The Microcontent Solution
Oct 3 2018
77 mins
Steve Manning, Vice President Consulting Services, Precision Content
We are giving you a second chance to catch one of our favorite sessions! The addition of Bots, voice-enabled interfaces, and Artificial Intelligence means we must change the way we structure content. We are moving from a broadcast style of communication – publish and hope for the best – to a more conversational style of communication. More question and answer.
This imposes requirements on the content models you need to create if you want to talk to the Bots. We must be more granular in our models. We need to implement Microcontent.
Join our special guest host, Val Swisher, and Steve Manning In Part II of this series, where Steve will go a little deeper. He will discuss the language of bots/AI: intents, attributes, and assets. Then he'll relate that to how the granularity you design into your models, the semantic labels you apply to elements, and the taxonomy you capture in creation can make or break your ability to publish DITA content to the new technologies. The session will include real-world scenarios that rely on a microcontent strategy.

Aligning B2B Content to Specific Buyers: Do You Know Your Audience?
Aug 9 2018
40 mins
Melanie Turek, Vice President of Research, Frost & Sullivan
As they look to build out their communities to appeal to a wide range of members, companies must rethink the types and formats they use for delivering relevant content. Webinars, videos and buying guides that directly cover products and services are always in play, but to stay relevant and sticky, companies must also offer value-added information, including peer reviews and independent analysis from industry experts, case studies that
show exactly how new products have worked for other
businesses, and best-practices advice on professional development and wider market trends.
Marketers should also encourage collaboration among the members of their communities and enable information sharing as much as possible. It's clear that buyers rely heavily upon these peer reviews before making a decision.
Finally, marketers must work with analysts and other non-biased third parties to get their input on the market overall, and their business specifically, to help prospective customers make well-informed decisions.

Burke's needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 173 designs submitted by 48 freelance designers.
Burke's Martial Arts or simply "Burke's" provided the logo says the rest.
An intense Self Defense & Muay Thai School with a stress on intensity. The owner holds several black belts in different martial arts and has traveled to Thailand several times to learn Muay Thai. This company is sure to grow and has a strong probability that it will franchise in the near future. The self defense system is the newest technology in tactical urban self defense and is not your everyday karate class; it's very brutal and effective. We currently train everything from huge corperate groups in personal protection to one on one to training for world muay thai champions. We train everybody from moms to Secret Service and Navy Seals.
Children of all ages for Muay Thai and 18 to 50 for Self Defense classes. Police Officers, Corrections Officers, Military, Secret Service, CIA, Navy Seals, etc.
Keep it simple and show us something original. Please stay away from traditional martial arts silhouettes and figures. If you plan on using a silhouette in the logo please take the time to research what a Muay Thai silhouette might look like prior to taking the time to create your design. There are no stipulations and we invite you to push the limits but make sure there is a connection with what we do but does not have to be a direct connection. A logo that can stand on it's own and can become identifiable with the brand.
The style should be clean, elegant and mature but not boring.
Stay away from grungy and cartoony and having a "tough guy" image.
The mark should work equally well for print, web, embroidery & silk screening on apparel of all colors, signage etc.
I'll be needing vector art, bmp, pdf, jpeg, eps, ai, and all modern formats required for web, print, letterhead, business cards, etc. that will resize well and maintain high resolution. Please no clipart or stock images. I'm looking for original designs that convey our strength and dominance. I will be involved the entire way and will provide feedback as needed.
We'll usually be adding under the logo three words with a few spaces between them. Those words are "Self Defense" "Fitness" "Muay Thai" and will be on my signage. This should be considered in the logo but not included.
Good luck, hope to speak to you soon.
Our current website is http://www.vee-arnis-jitsu.com Vee-Arnis-Jitsu is not a great marketing name because if it's complexity so therefore I'm going with Burke's Martial Arts.

You'll need a jackhammer to pry these loose. Floor Safes offer the added advantage of concealment. Once a floor safe is installed in concrete and covered with a rug or carpet they are near impossible to find. In fact, if the floor safe is found, it will literally take a jack hammer to wrest it out of the foundation.
Also, the door of the safe consists of drill-resistant hard plate made of hardened steel. You can't buy a drill or drill bit at your local hardware store that will even scratch the surface.
That's why these bad boys are our favorite high-security safes for gold coins, jewelry, paperwork, and a variety of other valuables. B Rated and strong enough to use in a commercial environment but still affordable enough to install at home. Furthermore, we also install one of our UL Listed S&G Group II dials at no additional charge – to give you decades of problem-free usage.
You won't find a sturdier floor safe for the money.
*Hollon Safe does not warranty electronic locks on any in ground floor safe.*
These safes currently do not have hydraulic arms attached to door. Make sure to remove hands and fingers from safe opening when shutting the door. These doors are heavy and can cause serious injury.

"I definitely will recommend your products to my friends because not only the quality of the product but most important the wonderful after sale service.
Two weeks after my purchase I found a better price. They honored their price match and paid me the difference. "
- Kalaji
The safe was easy to install and use. It opens easily with a code and then closes and locks without any intervention. I adjusted the shelf easily and began to use it immediately.
The service I received from you, Joshua was absolutely impeccable. We ordered the safe online and received a delivery date , which you maintained. When I emailed a question to the company soon after I purchased the safe, you replied immediately, to my surprise and satisfaction. Also, when I emailed a question about the delivery time on the day I expected delivery, you phoned the carrier on your own and got back to me as to what time I could expect delivery. Again, that kind of service is unique online, and I am most grateful to you.
Joshua, thank you so much for making this online purchase so easy and delightful. I've never had that experience previously.

Wild Words
We are a group of young developers with countless web projects under our belt. We dig trendy web 2.0 styles and logos.
Anyone from ages 15 and up. The game is a spin off of a couple of existing board games. The audience for our game will be those that are sick of standard play. Our game will offer a set of rules that can be customized on a per game basis, thus creating a very wild words game.
We don't have a whole lot of 'Requirements'. We're very open to your ideas and want to see what comes out of this.
We 'd like to end up with something in a 'neutral' color scheme to easily fit into a web page template.
Ideally it would be a single line logo as far as the text goes. (Open to changes on this).
I attached the 2 potential styles for our game pieces below. They will be played on a grid ranging from 12x12 to 20x20.
The logo will need to be placed on a white background. We're hoping to have the logo include the text, and an icon of some sort that can be brand able without the rest of the text with it.
We would ideally like to see logos with the text "Wild Words" and if its easy to supplement those with a version showing "Wild Words Game" that would be great.

There's something about the air in late spring – maybe it's the pollen or the ramping humidity – that never fails to remind me of graduation.
I suppose it's a fitting time to graduate. Spring is all about promise, right? And graduation is one of those things that has our minds on promise. It's the end of one chapter and the start of something else.
I've had a number of them – nursery school, kindergarten, 8th grade, high school, college, grad school. Lots of kids in Chestnut Hill have graduated from college or are just about to graduate from high school or elementary school. My last one was 15 years ago, so it's hard to remember the feeling first-hand. But for the rest of us, we can look forward to the graduations of sons and daughters, nieces and nephews and family friends.
The graduation speech I remember best was delivered by AFL-CIO president John Sweeney at my college graduation. It was given by a union leader to a packed room at the Hartford Civic Center. This was in 1997, the year the Hartford Whalers would decide to pack up and move to North Carolina, never to skate in the Civic Center again.
But back to the graduation speech.
Sweeney used the opportunity of the graduation speech to paint a grim and mostly realistic picture of an America in which jobs were being shipped overseas. All of us, with our dreams of right-around-the-corner post-college employment, would be lucky, Sweeney said, to find any work.
A pall fell across the entire civic center, stuffed with thousands of graduates and parents. Sweeney had just rained on our parade.
That speech was all anyone could talk about. How dare Sweeney dampen the day!
That was the prevailing attitude of the parents. My friends and I, though, suspected he was right. We all thought we'd be able to leverage our college degrees into well-paying entry-level jobs in the industries of our choice. But when we tried, it didn't work out as planned.
I took my pathetic resume to Philadelphia and walked it right into the Philadelphia Weekly, Philadelphia Magazine and the Philadelphia Business Journal, even though I hadn't written a single news story. Hey, I had published a poem in a journal devoted to beat literature. I thought I'd land something.
Sweeney was right about a lot of things. The days of being able to get out of college and grab a good paying job are long gone. College is the new high school. Those who want a decent career must go to grad school and, in the process, sink themselves even deeper into debt.
Also, though he didn't know it then, the sweeping changes in the job landscape really kicked into high gear at about that time, as many fields became obsolete in the face of rapid technological innovation. The newspaper field is one of the worst. A recent survey by CareerCast of 200 jobs found that newspaper reporter was the worst possible career choice. It fared worse than meter maid, oil rig operator, roofer and lumberjack. If I were smart, I would have skipped college and gone right into plumbing. Or lumberjacking.
But don't let me pull a Sweeney on anyone's high hopes for graduation. Success is still out there. I like my job. And many other people who graduated with me are happy doing something productive, raising families, etc. It is possible.
It's just getting a little bit harder all the time.

Puplets with intuitive, easy, automatic wireless connection
Subject description: Which puplets have a wireless setup/connection that will not turn away newbies
Puppy Linux is such a fantastic OS, espcially for aging laptops. One weak feature of this OS is its wireless connectivity. To connect to a wireless network on puppy, you would have to press 1)scan for wireless network, 2)select your network and figure out which security method it uses, 3)save the profile, and finally you will be able to access that wireless point automatically.
Too many steps!
On the contrary, ubuntu or windows xp automatically scans for available wireless point, you simply select which point to connect to, enter password, ad voala, you are online! It is easy, automatic, and intuitive.
I would like to start this post to list any puplets that have easy automatic wireless connections similar to Ubunutu or Windows XP.
So far, the best one I have stumbled upon is Stardust, which is very newbie friendly with a nice control interface. The OS guides you, with simple steps, on how to setup a wireless network and tells you how to connect to it.

Fluppy has Pwireless2 - same as Stardust.
Pwireless2 can also be installed in 4.2 and 4.3 based puplets, and Quirky.
Puppy 5 based puplets have Barry's SNS, which doesn't have
as many features as the Network Wizard or Pwireless2 - but it is very simple and friendly if it meets your needs.

I would like to revisit this old thread in that I am on vacation in a motel in a new (to me) city. I was hoping to utilize my trusty frugal 5.2 to get snappy internet service but to no avail. After finally figuring out how to log in thru the password protected service here (requiring many steps as MTrue001 mentions) the connection I get is fluky, dropping after a few minutes. Repeated attempts are the same - not usable. I then resort to XP and in a few short steps I am up and running (of course I then have to wait minutes while everything updates). This has happened to me in other situations where I need to connect to a new network.
Since this is an old thread and there are a variety of new Puppies out there is there any additional advice beyond what Jemimah says re: better wi-fi connectivity?
I think I would consider internet connection ease and reliability as the major criterion in picking a specific Puppy.

Post subject: Easy wireless
Nothing is automatic. It's a political concession. If we allowed them to build computers which operated automatically, we, the 99%ers, would be superfluous, out of work, starving and rioting in the streets. But things can be easy.
Jemimah is too modest.
She failed to mention that she developed Frisbee. Frisbee is my first choice for connecting to wireless.
You should be able to locate a pet named Frisbee-beta-2-Lucid52.pet. Despite the beta and Lucid adjectives in its name, it almost never fails to find, connect to, and stay connected to wireless transmissions in Slacko, Exprimo, as well as Lupu/Lucids. Or I used that pet before pemasu and 01micko made versions available in Exprimo and Slacko respectively. Jemimah included a version in Saluki. I'm in Lupu right now. But I think only 01micko included an option in the First Run dialog to install it from the ISO. Pemasu may have just provided a menu entry under Internet or Networking which you can use instead of continuing with the First Run dialog. Or vice-versa, or neither and you have to exit First Run and/or install it manually.
Peebee recently developed a version for Precise.
Two things about Frisbee: If you've previously used either the Network Wizard or Simple Network Setup in trying to connect to the internet, and saved a wireless setting, you may have to run the Network Wizard and delete that setting before running Frisbee. Otherwise you end up with two applications running in conflict with each other, neither working.
The second thing is that, unlike the Wizard and SNS, after Frisbee has successfully connected to the internet the first time it does not automatically initiate the application to setup a firewall. You have to remember to do that manually.
If you haven't used Frisbee before then, again from memory, once it is started (it starts automatically on installation) a taskbar icon will appear. Right-click the icon and select "set up networking." In the window which appears, make certain Enable Wireless Networking is checked. You may have to click the Refresh button. Frisbee will scan and report available networks, indicating the type of encryption used, if any. Click the network listing you want to connect to --which will highlight it-- then click "Create Profile for Selected Network." In the dialog window which opens [optional: (un)check the radio button which hides what your typing so you can see what you're doing, and] type in the encryption code, if any. ? Click OK? It defaults to "Open." Click "Managed" if necessary. Click OK? That's it.
n short, even if the Wizard or SNS work flawlessly with your home network, in preparing to take your computer on a road trip, check to see if Frisbee is available as an alternative, and if not, install it.

Kira was a super sexy black GF that blew us away this week. When we first saw her, she was in the kitchen washing some dishes in nothing but her panties and a house shirt. That ass was so round and firm, we couldn't wait to see more of this beauty. Kira's boyfriend showed her his new camera, and immediately started complimenting her on how good she looked. He had a sextape in mind and knew flattery would get him what he wanted. Kira was a hot girl, and when he started to grab that booty, she got turned on. It wasn't long before she was posing for the camera in sexy positions and showing off her tight little pink pussy. Kira laid out on the couch and rubbed it for her man to get herself nice and wet. She was so horny by then, she pulled out his cock and started sucking away on it. Kira gave some amazing head like only a black girlfriend could. But she wouldn't be satisfied until she had that cock. Kira got on top and worked that hot little pussy as she rode her man's dick like a pogo-stick. He returned the favor by giving that pussy a deep pounding in doggy style. In the end, that pussy over took him, and he ended up pulling out and covering that sweet snatch in his cum. Kira loved that and just gave him a big smile. You won't want to miss one minute of this gorgeous and sexy Black GF!

Are you tired of categories, divisions, groups, sects, cliques, us, we, them, they, liberal, straight, spiritual, hip, conservative,
unspiritual, secular ... well if you are, aren't, or even if you've never thought about it. C'mon!
Tonight some people will be on a stage in the fieldhouse, singing and telling you about their lives. Milny of the songs
they'll sing are about life; this experience that all of us are in together. All of these people know Jesus Christ and have found
Him to be the center, the meaning, and the perimeter of this experience. They aren't perfect people or holy people, but just
human beings who want to give to you and take from you.
This concert isn't just for Christians or just for non- Christians. God's so big he's got something for everybody. The evening
will be what we let it be.
These people are divided into five groups: I) the Hodos, 2) Dan Mogck and Tom Howard, 3) the Man, 4) J. and Gail
Caress, and 5) Praise. However, it's not guaranteed that they will stay that way the whole evening. There 's another group
which will be there and that is Fish Services. They will have with them all sorts of hand-made wares and if you give them some
money they will give you something you like. Then they will trade your money for something such as a surgical instrument
for a missionary doctor in Africa or paint for a bookstore in London.
Another group that you've thought a lot about, seen a lot of, and know quite well is YOU. The imaginary barbed
wire fences and stone walls that line some stages will be forbidden tonight. Who are you anyway? The mikes will be open
between songs and groups. Will you?
If you're honestly poor, come with dignity anyway. If you can spare $1 there will be a chance to donate it. If you're
dishonestly poor, sneak in and no one will notice unless you have shifty eyes.
God promised us he'd make it, too, over in Matthew 18:20. So, c'mon children, Jesus gonna' make you well.

Practice what you
preach, if not,
don't preach
by AI Cooper
Just the other day I was sitting thinking about what has
happened over this last semester. One thing in particular
came to mind and that is just how much people at Bethel
don't get involved. Recently a bill was passed in Student
Senate concerning life style. The bill proposes that anyone
not living in accordance with the present Bethel lifestyle
should not be allowed to return to Bethel next year. If the
not living in accordance with the present Bethel life style
should be changed in order to make these people fit. I had
a number of people come to me complaining about the bill in
one way or another. However, whenever I suggested that
they get organized and do something about this bill, they became
silent, changed the conversation, or simply walked away.
The life style is only one issue. I use it as an example
because it is one issue with which we can all identify in one
way or another. Life style isn't the issue, the real issue is
non-involvement. We're all aware just how much complaining
is done here at Bethel, about life style, food service, the
social life, etc. We all complain, but how many of us do anything
more than that? Too many of us only verbalize what
should be done, hoping that someone else will do the dirty
Very few people here at Bethel are willing to stick out
their necks to try to get something done. Too many of us
hide behind the door. What is wrong with us? Why are we
so eager to complain? This year is almost over. We have
missed a lot of opportunities. It's too late. However, we still
have next year. By the looks of things we have a good and
excited Senate this year. They seem anxious to get things
done. They don't need someone to complain about and to
them, they need support and help. It all seems to come back
to the old saying - practice what you preach and if you're
not willing to practice, then don't preach.
Hundreds of people around,
People going here and there,
Doesn't anyone see me
or am I imagining this, of beingAlone.
If I was with the people

Are people blinded by life, or
do we all have such important
things to do that we can't see the people
who are ...
People say Hi! without a glance, or
even a flicker of my presence.
They didn't notice that I wanted to talk,
that's ok, when
you have no one to lose, yet
no one to gain.

Hopes high
for new senate
by Dave' Gustafson
Our thirteenth session of Student Senate
this past year has produced diverse
feelings among its members and among
fellow Bethelites as well. The need for a
Student Association is evident, but the
animosity isn't. Now as a May 28th graduating
senior, concerned Bethelite, and
Senator-at-Large, I feel as if some of my
fellow senators have become apathetic
towards Bethel and the voice which they
could have if only partial initiative
was established.
As our "big" move comes closer to
reality on the new campus, we begin
immediately to see the great influence
the Student Association will have upon
Bethel. In essence, Bethel's Student
Association will have a "new start" to
prove itself to the administration and
student body.
It becomes apparent that campaign
promises will either be inacted or fall to
the wayside with hopes of some passerby
reviving the issue with new promises.
An old expression of "Time will tell"
becomes inclusive and Bethel's "community"
will have an inclination of further
policy by its present Student Association.
Many Bethelites feel that our
administration is "incoherent" or "incompatible"
with our Senate community,
but this happens only when communi,
cation barriers are erected against one
or the other. Our independence from the
administration will never develop. This
is not what we want, for without the
administration, Bethel's Student Senate
is without existence! In all actuality
Bethel's administration gives the Student
Association over $27,000 a year to run
its "organization."
Our Christian views must enter into
play if "power" is what we're after.
There is nothing wrong with power, if
power is used correctly. But we must
proceed with love! One of the recurring
problems of history is the supposed incompatibility
of love and power. They
have usually been contrasted as opposites
- polar opposites - so that love
is identified with a resignation of power,
and power with a denial of love. But I
believe that love and power are truly
compatible when viewed in their proper
perspectives. Thus by proceeding
through proper channels, in love, the
power which our Student Senate desires
will develop.
Many improvements or changes were
made during the Thirteenth Senate, but
the Fourteenth Senate has a much larger
job ahead of itself. The only way anyone
may improve or change a said ex-istin
gstandard is to get involved. Immerse
yourself in Student Senate!
We are "lucky" to have an institution
such as Bethel! Our freedoms are
many and our voice is large. Compared
to other Christian colleges, Bethel's
real value can be seen. We have been
blessed greatly and should be proud of
the opportunity which God has provided
us through means of attendance.
Don't become apathetic, get involved
and put forth some initiative, it's up to
Male Chorus
tours Rockford,
sets for Europe
by Bob Bryant
Four nights, five days, six concerts.
That hardly sounds like a choir tour.
But, that is just what the Male Chorus
had this month. The men boarded their
Greyhound, the new guys met George,
and tour got under way at 11:30, Friday,
April 14. They got back six concerts
richer and several hours of sleep
poorer, at 11 p.m. the following Tuesday.
What's it like to tour with the
Male Chorus?
"Lead on, Oh King Eternal! .. Lead on,
Oh God of Might!!!!"
The fifty-eight rank pipe organ in the
fantastic two and one-half million dollar
Rockford Covenant Church.
Ross - "Psyche-up, guys." Before,
during, and after each number.)
"Now, we'll break up into groups of
four to six for the next ten minutes
before our concert starts, and talk to
God." (This gave the group a sense of
unity and of oneness with God, giving
new meaning to the traditional time of
devotions before each concert.)
"My God, I love thee; ...
Solely because thou art my God
And my eternal King."
"Did you see that guy, George? He
had his insurance card out before you
were half way through that turn!"
"Spirit of God, Descend upon my heart.
Wean it from earth, through all it?
pulses move."
Where's Dan (Wickman)? We want
him, as a former member, to join our
first tenors for the next three numbers.
You remember them, don't you?"
"I'm gonna ride in the chariot to
see my Lord!"
"Riser crew one is on tonight."
"Go inside, downstairs to your left,
through the double doors, through the
large room ,into the smaller room where
the tables are, down the narrow hallway,
up the center stairway in the back to the
first landing, turn to your left, then
right, then left, and it's the third door
on your right after the second pink one
on your left, - that's the room where
we can leave all our luggage and change.
It's easy to get to - you can't miss it."
"My name is Chuck Lindquist, I'm a
senior at Bethel from Mora, Minnesota ..
and looking out over the audience tonight,
I see there are some children who
might be interested in coming to Bethel,
so I thought I'd tell you just a little
about our school ... "
"Tonight, the ends will lead in, down
the center aisle, go around the piano
and the side pews, onto the platform,
criss-cross in the middle, then turn
around three times, and go on to the
risers. It's easy, so we don't need to
practice it."
"A cheerful green adorns the scene
of laughing hills and valleys;"
"When do we eat?"
"Tachtfermaten, den var richtig gudt."
"Devotions where we ate at 7:40,
concert at 8:00."
"Any further instructions, Kent?"
"Hey, George, Bubba's in the john.
You know how to drive now - hang a
hard left!"
"Ken had to go to Rockford to see
his draft board?????!!?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Bray - Bruce and
Pete. Mr. and Mrs. Bone Bryant
and Bob."
"Tak far roser navid vagen, tak far
tornet ibland dem ...
Thanks for joy and thanks for sorrow,
thanks for heavenly peace with thee."
"Contrary to what some of you are
thinking, these guys aren't just saving
money to go to Europe by not getting
That's what it's all about. Praising
God, goofing off, eight hours in a
thirty-nine passenger Greyhound, thirtytwo
men joined by the common bond of
Christ, singing and speaking for Him.
But it's not all over. On May 29, the
Male Chorus will again be leaving on
tour - this time a thirty-five day,
thirty-three concert tour of five European
countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Germany, and England.) The short
tour to Illinois was a time to get to
know each other and gain valuable experience
for what is to come. At this
time, all but two concerts have been set,
and the final payment has been made,
Dr. Smith and the Male Chorus are excited
and prayerfully expectant. God is
at work already, preparing the hearts
and lives of people over there. Last
time, we watched flickerings of the
Spirit's moving. We have been hearing
reports that fires are now burning.
Tour is fun, it's exciting, but it's
(Con't. on Page 4)
now 4-6,
enter into 2nd half
Tomorrow, Bethel's baseball team will
find itself pitted against the Northwestern
Iowa squad. Bethel needs a sweep
of this doubleheader to maintain any
chance of capturing the Tri-State Conference
title. In four conference games
thus far, the Royals have looked smooth
and capable in winning two of them and
over-powered and helpless in losing
Perhaps a recap of the recent action
would be in order. Last Saturday's twin
bill with Sioux Falls was postponed because
of rain and wet grounds. The date
for making up these important conference
contests is not as yet set.
Thursday of last week found the team
traveling to Albert Lea for two with Lea
College. In the first game, things seemed
to be in order for the Royals as they
turned out a 4-2 victory. Their old
enemy, errors, was not present in full
force like it has been in so many of
the games this year and last. There were
only six hits, and six different ballplayers
collected hits. The big difference
in this game was consistency in the
field. Don Paterson picked up the victory,
which evened his record for the
year at 2-2. Roger Jahn came on in
relief and picked up the save.
In the second game, the Royals ran up
against one of the toughest pitchers
they've had to face this season. They
made a noble effort, and with half an
inning to go in the game, the batmen
found themselves with a one run lead
and three outs away from a sweep of
the twin bill. Roger Jahn, pitching again
in relief, got the first man out, but af-
Male chorus, continued
much more. It is a time to learn how
to live in close quarters with a large
group for a long time, and a time to
draw closer to God. It's God working
through you, in the lives of others, and
in a different way.
Perhaps the whole feeling of the
chorus was summed up during the bus
trip home from Red Wing, where we
had our last concert of the tour. We started
singing - hymns, folk songs, songs
from our repertoire, and gospel songs.
At one point, we sang "Pass It On,"
followed by "We Are One In The Spirit,
We Are One In The Lord." One member
remarked, "That sums up all we
sing about!" And it does.
ter that things seemed to fall apart.
Several key errors plus some erratic
pitching put the Royals on the shortend
of a 6-5 score.
With a 4-6 record, Bethel now faces
the second half of their season. Remaining
are six conference games plus several
non-conference tilts. What remains
by Dave Shaw
In last Saturday's Bethel Relays, the
Bethel Royals track team displayed one
of their strongest efforts this season
as they grabbed first place ribbons in
five events and piled up 66 points, finishing
second in a field of eight schools.
Meet records were broken and three
were equalled. Bethel set one of the
new records with a time of 3:31 in the
Sprint Medley Relay, bettering the previous
meet record by more than two
seconds. Records also fell in the high
jump, two mile run, 360 yard low
hurdles, the discus, the shotput, and the
javelin throw. Existing records in
the pole vault, 100 yard dash, and 120
yard high hurdles were tied.
Bethel also picked up firsts in the
440 yard relay, the 880 relay, the mile
relay, and the long jump. In the long
jump, Jim Hammer and Harley Turner
combined jumps of 21' 6 3/4" and
20' 5" respectively to edge out Concordit
Moorhead. Hammer and Turner also
ran on the 440 and 880 yard relay teams
along with Dave Asp and Phil James.
James ran a blistering anchor in both
events and provided the crowd with two
spectacular come-from-behind finishes.
James also anchored the mile relay team
of Dave Asp, Don Reed, and Steve Whittaker
and held off a late challenge from
a strong St. John's relay team.
Other Royals who placed in the Relays
were Rock Henrickson and Phil Swanson,
whose combined distances in that
event were good enough for third place.
The distance medley relay team of Dennis
Renander, Don Reed, Paul Loth, and
John Peterson picked up a fourth place
spot, as did Hammer and Turner in the
triple jump, and Gary Hipp in the 120
yard high hurdles. Hipp turned in his
best time ever as a Royal as he ran his
event in 15.4 seconds.
to be seen is, can Bethel avoid their old
bug-a-boo of fielding mistakes and play
some consistent baseball? The Royals
have plenty of potential with all of the
necessary ingredients for a fine finish
in the Tri-State Conference. Let's hope
they can put it all together for the rest
of the year.
: .0.
.... \ . -.
Even the Concordia Moorhead coach
noted an improvement in the Royals'
performance as he stated, "Last Saturday
our teams seemed to be about even,
but the Royals showed me a lot more today
than they did last Saturday."
Obviously, the lack of strength in the
field events is what hurt Bethel the
most. The Royals were without a point
in the pole vault, the discus, the shotput,
or the high jump, while 40 of
their pointS' came from the efforts of
the relay teams.
St. John's repeated their performance
of last year as they won the Relays with
101 points. Second place went to Bethel,
whose 66 points were enough to get by
Hamline with 65 and Gustavus Adolphus
with 63. Other schools in competition
were Macalester with 59, Concordia
Moorhead with 45, and Augsburg with
38. Concordia St. Paul failed to score.
When asked for his ideas on the
Relays, Harley Turner commented that
he felt the team "rose to the occasion
and produced a good all-around effort."
He added that "James (Phil) was fantastic,"
and mentioned that Coach Glader
did a fine job in getting the team
psyched for the Relays.
With less than two weeks left in the
track season, Bethel's next meet is at
Central High School in a triangular
with Superior State and Concordia
St. Paul on May 2. The time of the meet
is 4 p.m.
St. John's 101
Bethel 66
Hamline 65
Gustavus 63
Macalester 59
Concordia (Moorhead) 45
Augsburg 38
Concordia (St. Paul) 0

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner on Tuesday urged Gov. Pat Quinn to veto a bill that would provide oversight of the largely unregulated industry of ride-sharing, including requiring drivers of companies such as Uber to have commercial insurance and possibly a chauffeur's license.
Rauner's economic interests include stock in one of Uber's investors, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Uber's backers also include Google Ventures and California-based venture capital firms.
A Rauner spokesman said the candidate's position on Uber isn't motivated by his Goldman Sachs interests but rather "about creating jobs in Illinois and giving riders more transportation options and competitive fares." He said Rauner is "not an investor in Uber."
The Illinois House has sent Bill 4075 to the governor, according to the Web site of the Illinois General Assembly. Quinn's office didn't provide an immediate comment early Tuesday afternoon on whether Quinn would sign the bill.
Rauner said regulations on the ride-sharing industry, including such companies as Uber, should be "relatively limited."
"We need less business regulation in Illinois, not more," the former private equity firm executive said.
"Our kids use it a lot," Rauner said Tuesday morning while about to step into an Uber car – a 2005 Toyota Camry with 200,000 miles on it -- whisking him to 5044 S. Wabash for a campaign stop about early childhood education. "There are a lot of neighborhoods in Chicago where there aren't cabs."
Uber has "done a great job in so many cities," Rauner said. "We should look at what regulations have been put in place in other cities."
He said some level of background checks for ride-sharing drivers "probably does make sense." So does a certain level of insurance, though he didn't have any coverage minimums in mind.
The bill's proponents include the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, which said it believes that "the governor may well take his full time to review given the strong interests involved in the bill."
The trade group urges Quinn to sign the ride-sharing legislation to create a statewide standard and close insurance coverage gaps, thereby protecting "drivers, passengers and the public," said Jeffrey Junkas, regional manager of state government relations.
But Rauner said he believes that the primary goal of the bill is to "block competition."
"It protects cab drivers," Rauner said.
Mara Georges, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Transportation Trade Association, a trade group representing the taxi industry, said the legislation is "simply focused on making sure all Illinoisans have basic consumer protections whey they step into a car for hire."
"Customers have the right to know their driver has passed a comprehensive police background check and drug test and carries sufficient insurance in case of an accident," she said, expressing doubts that ride-share companies can regulate themselves.
"It is unfortunate that Bruce Rauner would side with Silicon Valley multi-billionaires and venture capitalists, rather than Illinois consumers," Georges said.
The Illinois economy, however, should celebrate competition because "that's what drives quality," Rauner said. "Companies like Uber and Lyft and Sidecar -- we should have an environment here for them to grow."
Illinois has become a state hostile to business. Uber wants a regional headquarters in Chicago that would have more than 400 employees, Rauner said, but such regulations might scare it away.
Rauner's Uber driver was Schaumburg resident Mohammed Meghani, 43. He has been driving an Uber car since December and bought a used Camry in 2013 for $5,500 for strictly that purpose. He has 20 to 30 Uber customers a day, and it's his primary way of making a living for him, his wife, a stay-at-home mom, and their three children, ages 14, 11 and 7. Meghani said he had most recently worked in the banking industry, for Chase and earlier for Bank of America and LaSalle Bank and Bank of Lincolnwood.
Meghani said he doesn't oppose background checks or an insurance requirement for Uber drivers.
But, chimed in Rauner during the ride, "The legislation goes beyond those issues."
For example, it requires chauffeur licenses for drivers who work more than 18 hours a week, Rauner said.
"That's just a restraint of competition," Rauner said. "That shouldn't be necessary."
The fare from Rauner's Loop campaign office to the stop on South Wabash came to $13.92, but after a 25 percent summer discount, it was $10.44, including tip.
The way that Uber works: Consumers download and Uber app and set up an account. The Uber app finds the location via GPS, and the user selects "set pickup location." The consumer chooses a desired car type, then taps request, and Uber finds the nearest available driver.

I Feel Like Updating the Past
It's 2009, so I'm going to make a confession-I am an addict. Okay, I'm actually addicted to about four things, but I don't want to scare anyone off.
I solve challenger crossword puzzles, in ink. Yes, I'm one of those annoying people. I blame my mother. She uses pencil first and then, for whatever reason, goes over the writing with her pen.
But as all children must, I blame her.
When I was still in elementary school, I was the kid who was always out sick. Whatever the wind carried, it blew into my body and I'd be down for the count. Being a kid, homework and TV weren't enough to keep me busy, so mom gave me the LA Times crossword puzzle to do. She'd also play scrabble with me. Hence, my addiction to writing and words as well. (Now you know two)
In time, puzzles weren't just to keep me busy and out of her hair on sick days (she's never actually said that's why she started me, but as a mother myself, the guess must be on target), but to help me learn a dangerous amount about a lot of different things and expand my vocabulary.
My favorite Saturday morning activity, before I get started on my day: I sort the LA Times and the Orange County Register and organize the crosswords in order of difficulty. Then I make a nice big pot of coffee (addiction #3) and have a wonderful time with all of them, culminating with the NY Times challenger.
At first, I kept my addiction from by husband, but once we were married I had to let him know of my weakness. In the beginning, I'm sure he thought our love would somehow cure me. Alas, he was so wrong. Now I had another source for answers having to do with the sports world. I roped him in. He doesn't do them (he'd lose an arm if he tried taking my books or magazines, I think), but when I'm really concentrating, he'll quietly ask "Can I help?" Who wouldn't still be head over heels in love after 28 years with a guy like that????
In fact, our children were appalled one year and then were aghast at my joyous response. We were going through a rather tough financial time and it was Valentine's Day. My wonderful hubby went on the internet, searched out crossword puzzles, downloaded about 50 and put them into a small paper folder (the kind kids use for school reports). I was so overwhelmed I almost cried. Really.
Our kids rolled their eyes. "How could you give mom puzzles for Valentine's Day" and then, "You actually liked it! You'd think he just gave you a five carat diamond ring or something!"
Kids, they just don't know the real meaning of love.
And just to let you in on my fourth and final obsession, which you've probably guessed, my husband.

I would first prune the standard library down to a more core focus of libraries that require cross-platform expertise, using widely accepted standards, and stuff needed to simply get a script to run. In terms of cross-platform stuff, that would mean os, multiprocess, etc. These are modules that a typical developer would have a hell of a time getting working on all the OSs that CPython runs on.

How they do it in Python (core libraries).
2 comments:
- phil jones said...
I don't think it's reaching any kind of real limit.
I'm convinced that "Batteries Included" is one of the great virtues of Python and one reason for its success. It's just so wonderful that you type stuff in and it just works without having to download and install. Particularly for beginners who don't necessarily understand how installation works.
Even though the cheeseshop is great, there are still times you aren't online or have other problems. And you still need to know how to use it.
OTOH, disc space is really cheap. What does it matter if there are deprecated libraries? The worry that they need maintainance is overblown. Many are written in pure Python anyway and will just continue to work. Others you can let die a natural death, rather than prematurely killing.

Thanks Phill for correcting me. I think I should have written that a lot more carefully - as I really don't have much experience in that subject - I just read that one piece linked from proggit.
In Perl there seems to be a problem with maintenance - too few people too much work. There are voices that the way forward is do some deprecations and clean the code a bit.

While most Americans are optimistic about the use of genetic information to improve health, many are concerned that genetic information may be used by insurers and employers to deny, limit or cancel their health insurance and to discriminate against them in the workplace. This concern is causing some not to participate in important biomedical research and others to refuse to be tested for genetic disorders.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) [hhs.gov] was the first step toward implementation of the policy recommendations on health insurance and provided some protection from discrimination, but gaps remain. For the last several years, the Congress has drafted legislation that could address these fears by banning genetic discrimination in health insurance and employment. On October 14, 2003, after years of negotiations, the U.S. Senate passed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2003 (S.1053) [thomas.loc.gov] by a vote of 95-0 after the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee had passed the bill by voice vote in May 2003 with no major changes when the bill came to the floor.
On November 8, 2005 Secretary of Health and Human Services Michael Leavitt expressed his support for federal genetic nondiscrimination legislation in a letter to the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Genetics, Health and Society (SACGHS). Responding to a SACGHS report, Secretary Leavitt expressed his commitment to working with Congress and relevant stakeholders to achieve the timely passage of appropriate legislation.
On March 10, 2005 a bipartisan group of over 100 members of Congress introduced the "Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act of 2005," HR 1227 [thomas.loc.gov], which is identical to S. 306 [thomas.loc.gov] that passed the Senate by a vote of 98-0.
The bill was introduced by Representatives Judy Biggert (R-IL), Louise Slaughter (D-NY), Bob Ney (R-OH), and Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and includes a group of bipartisan cosponsors. It was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce, the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the Committee on Ways and Means, "for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned."
The United States Senate unanimously passed S. 306, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2005 on February 17, 2005, by a vote of 98-0. This bill is virtually identical to S. 1053, which passed in the last Congress.

Today is my dear Frog Prince's birthday, and I couldn't be more thankful for him.
This amazing man is such a gift to me – not to mention he does dishes and can cook!
We've celebrated his last 8 birthday's together, and if there's one thing I've learned it is this: Frog Prince loves cherries.
In fact, for all but 2 birthdays, we've made cherry cake. And, if you are curious, those two birthdays have consisted of a Copy-Cat Carvel Ice Cream Cake.
We've made a simple Cherry Cake (which we made most often in the early years when I still used boxed cake mixes):
But, his favorite is this Cherry Coffee Cake.
On his birthday, I wanted to share his favorite cake with you, because I'm sure if you like cherries, you'll enjoy this one too.
Happy Birthday, Frog Prince! You are the best.

Weekly Game Balls: Week 1
This week's offensive game ball goes to Tony Romo.
With the weight of world on his shoulders, Tony Romo lead his team to a seasoner opener victory Sunday afternoon as the Cowboys dominated the Buccaneers 34-21. Completing 16 of 27 passes, Romo threw a career high 353 yards and ended the day with 3 touchdowns and no interceptions.
Using his various weapons, Tony Romo looked absolutely stunning hitting Patrick Crayton on an 80 yard completion for a TD, another career high. His other two touchdowns were also long, airing out to Miles Austin for 42 yards and Roy Williams for 66 yards.
"You're not judged off of yards or anything like that," Tony Romo said. "You're judged off of winning and losing at this position. I think our team understands that it's about winning and losing. And that's what we're out here to try and do."
After last year's dismal season, it was apparent that Tony Romo needed to step up and step up big. The Cowboys still have a long season ahead, but Romo's performance this week surely removed any doubt that he was ready to lead this team all the way.
This week's defensive/special teams game ball goes to David Buehler.
In his NFL debut, rookie specialist David Buehler shined and helped Special Teams look fantastic something we haven't seen since… hmm can't remember the last time actually.
Buehler, a kickoff specialist, had three touchbacks out of seven kickoffs Sunday. Now, its extremely important to note that the Cowboys had zero touchbacks in 2008, and only four total in 2007. The last time the Cowboys had multiple touchbacks in one game was more than a decade ago, in 1998.
Field position can mean everything in a game. Buehler held the Tampa Bay Bucs to an average drive start of 23 yards.
"Everybody got their minds right and came out ready to play. It was good to have a couple of touchbacks in the first game of my NFL career. I felt like I had a pretty good game and did my job," David Buehler said.
Owner Jerry Jones also bragged about Buehler after the game.
"The guy I feel as good about as anybody on this team is Buehler," Jones said. "You can see what Buehler can mean with the field position he gave us on kickoffs. It's great for him because that was our focus. For the first kick he ever makes and drives in the back of the end zone for a touchback, that's big."
Now does everyone understand why the Cowboys have three kickers on their roster?
Congratulations to Tony and David for their outstanding play.
Runners-up: Patrick Crayton who racked up 135 yards and a TD on 4 passes, Crayton was also wide open on several plays and could have easily had more yards and/or touchdowns. Nick Folk was perfect accounting for 10 points, including a 51-yard field goal to jump start the Cowboys win in the first half.

Static Buffers Considered Harmful
May 25, 2008
I posted this as a page by accident – so here it is as a blog entry and I'll delete the page some day.
My previous post discussed how inet_ntoa uses a static buffer which can cause a race condition. Unlike in 'C', this is particularly likely to cause a race in Haskell programs due to the quick, easy, and cheap threads using forkIO that (potentially) share a single OS thread. Two bright spots were that inet_ntoa was marked as IO and that the result is usually unimportant.
Another FFI binding, nano-md5, has a similar race condition but is much more series (not marked as IO and the result is a digest).
An even-handed note: iirc, nano-md5 remains hackage mostly as an FFI example – not that this is advertised in the nano-md5 description. "Real" users are told to look at hsOpenSSL and hopenssl – a cursory glance at the code suggests they don't have this bug. Also, the other bindings don't require O(n) space – so they are certainly worth switching to.
The nano-md5 line:
digest <- c_md5 ptr (fromIntegral n) nullPtr
is the culprit. It uses 'nullPtr' and according to the OpenSSL manual "If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array".
Test code that confirms the bug can be found here – this will run three hash operations in parallel and eventually one result will be the correct first bits with ending bits from one of the other digests. The developer has already fixed the issue for versions 0.1.2+. I'll wrap this post up with a request for library developers to please work to avoid use of static buffers – they have no place in this forkIO happy playland I call Haskell.

The Crunch Factor for People with Diabetes
Those people who don't have diabetes yet take the crunchiness of their food for granted. Who doesn't eat tons of potato chips, corn chips, and nachos?
Those of us who need to manage our diabetes, that's who. The most popular of the crunchy foods are high in carbohydrates that quickly raise our blood sugar levels a lot.
But just because we have diabetes doesn't mean that we stop loving the crunch factor in our foods. Fortunately, some crunchy foods are low enough in carbohydrates that they won't literally do a number on our blood sugar.
The big three crunchy foods for me start with chia seeds. These tiny little seeds are packed with fiber, the essential omega-3 fats, and antioxidants. According to the Nutrition Facts label of the brand that I buy, AZChia, all of the carbohydrates in chia seeds are fiber.
I've written about chia seeds several times including two articles here. I introduced it in my Chia Seeds article back in 2007 and reviewed a new book about it a few months ago in Chia Seed Power.
Plain whole yogurt is a staple of my diet currently. But unless I add lots of chia seeds, this yogurt is too plain for me. The crunch factor of chia seeds really livens up the yogurt.
While I wrote about the benefits of chia seeds, I failed to mention the crunchiness factor then. This is my penance.
I also failed to mention the crunchiness of another mainstay of a very low-carb diet in my article earlier this month on Nectresse, a brand new natural no-calorie sweetener. One of its ingredients is a sugar alcohol, erythritol. I actually didn't realize why I liked using it until I read the online comment to that article by my friend and colleague Gretchen Becker.
"I like the erythritol products because the erythritol, like table sugar, is crunchy " ," she wrote.
Of the dozen or so sugar alcohols that I reviewed on my website eight years ago in Net Carbs, erythritol has the least impact on our blood sugar. It has just 0.2 calories per gram and a glycemic index of zero.
Chia seeds are both crunchy and healthy. Erythritol is neutral. But number 3 on my list of favorite crunchy foods may not be especially healthy, even though it's certainly better than the chips that most Americans depend on for their crunch.
Number 3 on my list is actually a type of chip. It goes by various names including pork skins, pork rinds, chicharron, or chicharrones.
Chicharrones are usually but not always made from pork rinds -- pig skins. I don't have any problem with that, but I have some concern that they are deep fried. My concern is that unless you make chicharrones yourself, the cooking oil is probably the same cheap oil high in the inflammatory omega-6 fats, soybean oil.
I am not a purist and am into eating very little carbohydrate for the rest of my life. So I will make an occasional exception for chicharrones, especially when I want crunch and don't have any chia seeds or erythritol handy.
We probably have many other choices of low-carb, healthy, and crunchy foods. But none come to my mind. Since two or more minds are better than one, please tell us what your favorite crunchy foods are. Your comments here, please!
