|Re: How to wait for external process
|Mon, 28 May 2018 18:43:45 GMT
Haven't done this, but we'll have a similar need in the future, so have investigated a little. What about a design pattern something like this: 1) When jobs are done (ready for further processing) they publish those details to a queue (such as GC Pub/Sub or any other sort of queue) 2) A single "listener" DAG sits and periodically checks that queue. If it finds anything on it, it triggers (via DAG trigger) all of the DAGs which are on the queue.* * = if your triggering volume is too high, this may cause airflow issues w/ too many going at once; this could presumably be solved then via custom rate-limiting on firing these 3) The listener DAG resets itself (triggers itself) On Mon, May 28, 2018 at 7:17 AM, Driesprong, Fokko <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > Hi Stefan, > > Afaik there isn't a more efficient way of doing this.

WPIX To Stream "Commutercasts"
To ease the strain on New Yorkers fretting over afternoon rush hour, WB station WPIX is creating new online traffic webcasts that will provide the latest on traffic snarls around the region. On Dec. 5, the Tribune-owned station will debut its "Commutercast," hosted by reporter Alyssa Coleman.
The two-minute, live webcasts will air five times each afternoon from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The reports will cover car traffic and also conditions on public transportation and feature video and maps provided by monitoring service Traffic.com.
"'Commutercast' uses new technology to give real-time traffic and transit news to people who don't have access to TV when they most need it," WPIX News Director Karen Scott said in a statement. "It may not be TV in the conventional sense, but it is something that we can do thanks to technology."

This site might seem like just another classified site, but it's far from ordinary.
Take your time browsing through local dealer's inventory until you find an auto you want to test drive. There's no rush.
We don't require any sign-ins or contact information because we're not the ones selling the autos; the dealerships are.
We got rid of all the flashing signs and advertisements to provide an easy to navigate platform for your convenience.
Give the dealer a call and make your appointment. It's that simple!
Tighter budgets don't mean settling for lower quality; we've got plenty of options.
We know it's stressful, but our site can help take away a lot of the pressure and help you narrow down your choices.
We work with stores across the country to ensure a wide variety of autos. Whether you're looking for new, used or certified pre-owned, we've got choices.
Our website doesn't have any competing advertisements, so you won't have to worry about getting distracted. Go ahead and take your time searching for your next perfect auto.
Found a model you'd like to test drive? Go ahead and call the dealer or visit the dealer's website without having to fill out a form or sign up for a service.
Classified sites are an incredible tool for dealers to enhance their online presence, but not every vendor provides the same services.
We use the best algorithms to ensure that shoppers are in your area. Being local isn't just important, it's a necessity.
By turning on the "follow" feature on our backlinks, we're giving your dealership website extra juice to boost your domain rank and positioning on SERPs.
That's right – we don't do third-party leads because we don't think it makes sense. There's no reason why your sales team shouldn't talk to relevant buyers directly.

You're inconsistent.
You think and act in ways that fail to mesh with your values in principles.
Not just you, but all of us are walking and talking hypocrites.
But that's not the whole story.
The rest of the story is that each time you catch yourself living inconsistently with your values is an opportunity.
An opportunity to:
• change,
• correct course,
• confess,
• ask forgiveness, and
• begin again.
Of course, it's also an opportunity to:
• bow up,
• double down,
• give up,
• quit, and
• blame.
Hypocrisy isn't the end of your story. It's an intimate and defining part of it.
How you respond to your inconsistencies will go a long long way towards determining what happens in your life.
Choose the first set of responses rather than the second.
They are hard and uncomfortable steps to take but lead to healing, hope, and happiness in the end.
Most of all, they lead to growth and your best self.

heavy trash - forever landfill & gated community viewing platform
Heavy Trash is an anonymous arts organization of architects, designers and urban planners, who draw attention to the public realm and issues around urbanism through guerrilla art projects.
On April 24, 2005, Heavy Trash volunteers deposited bright orange viewing platforms in front of three Los Angeles gated communities; Brentwood Circle, Park La Brea and Laughlin Park. The purpose of these viewing platforms is to draw attention to the phenomenon of gated communities -- the fastest growing form of housing in the United States.
On July 2, 2007, Heavy Trash launched "Forever Landfill" a commentary intended to bring attention to LA's waste and waste management problems in the form of a conceptual service company called Forever Landfill. The fictional service provides individual plots of landfill for residents to fill with trash to their hearts content.
Forever Landfill was advertised on unsanctioned bus benches with organizers placed throughout the city.

It has been a bit quiet with Explainables news in the past weeks since we were preparing for what was one the most challenging and exciting projects we have worked on so far: helping NASA's Frontier Development Lab.
On their webpage NASA Frontier Development Lab describes itself as an Artificial Intelligence Research and Development accelerator that tackles knowledge gaps useful to the space program. The program is an intense 8-week concentrated study on topics not only important to NASA, but also to humanity's future.
Core project partners of FDL include IBM, Intel, KX, and SpaceResources Luxembourg. Founding FDL partners are Autodesk and Nvidia. Research partners are Lockheed Martin, USC, and XPrize.
This year, NASA FDL was focusing on challenges within the fields of Planetary Defense, Space Resources, and Space Weather. In order to work on finding long period comets, where to look for water on moon or how to 3D-model Asteroid from remote data, about a dozen space scientists met with a similar number of data experts at the SETI institute. Their project was supported with hard ware and human power by companies like IBM, Intel, NVidia or Lockheed Martin.
After 8 weeks of hard work the FDL participants were scheduled to give a TED style talk at the NASA.AI event at the Intel auditorium in Silicon Valley presenting their very exciting results. A tough science communication challenge with goals and messages as diverse as the audience, consisting of NASA scientists, NSF and program officers, industry stakeholders and the interested public. That's where the Explainables got into the GAME: In a three day bootcamp style workshop we got the FDL crew out of their think tank and into talk tank mode. Using our signature Improv exercises and activities like Analogy Roulette or Slideshow Karaoke and a lot of one on one coaching, we got all of the groups prepared for what turned out to be a day of excellent science communication in the Silicon Valley.
Stay tuned as we will present all the projects and their presentations over the next few weeks. Also check the Explainables Facebook page for more pictures from the event and the workshop.

Loaded Breakfast Beans
Loaded breakfast beans packed with onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and a whole lot of flavour!
I love breakfast , I could eat breakfast for lunch and dinner!
Although I love avocado toast and scrambled tofu (which is my usual go-to), I like to mix it up a bit to keep things exciting.
Loaded breakfast beans are my new favourite breakfast as there are so many ways you can enjoy them!
You can enjoy them on toast, rice, a baked potato or even on top of nachos if you're feeling naughty, or just with a spoon as they are!
Additionally, you can use a variety of different beans, different, veggies and spices so you won't get bored.
If you are looking for more breakfast ideas – check out my 'Big Mexican Brunch' and my 'Chia Seed Pudding'.
These breakfast beans super easy to make taking only 15 minutes to make, and you don't need any fancy ingredients either.
As I had mushrooms, onions and tomatoes in my kitchen, I used those in my recipe. However, I've also made my breakfast beans with peppers, spinach, courgettes and sweetcorn.
Of course, you can use your favourite veggies or whatever you have available in your kitchen.
I used pinto beans in my recipe, but again, you can use any beans you have available or can find in your local supermarket 🙂
Give it a go and let me know how you get on!
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 cup tomatoes
- 1/2 onion
- 1 can beans in water (I used pinto)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- Pinch oregano (optional)
- Fry your onions, mushrooms and tomatoes in olive oil over a medium heat until they soften.
- Drain your tin of beans and add to the pan with the rest of your ingredients. Fry on a low-medium heat for 10 minutes until the beans have softened and are piping hot throughout.
- Add more salt and pepper to your taste.
- Sprinkle some oregano on top.
- Serve with toast, potatoes, rice, on nachos – however you'd like.

COQUITLAM, BC, December 8, 2015 – In an effort to develop a local approach to one of the region's most pressing issues, Coquitlam Council has approved a new Housing Affordability Strategy (HAS).
The Strategy has been in development over the past several years – from a discussion paper in 2013, to a framework in 2014 and then through extensive consultation with the development industry, housing partners, stakeholders and the public in 2014 and 2015.
Through the Housing Affordability Strategy, Coquitlam's goal is to work with partners from the non-profit, private and public sectors to ensure that a wide variety of housing types, sizes, tenures and prices can be offered in Coquitlam in the years to come.
The Strategy also recognizes that local government's mandate and resources to address housing affordability are limited without partnerships and senior government funding.
The HAS is organized around a straightforward approach with four key objectives that form policy cornerstones including:
The four key objectives are supported by a number of policy directions and 54 actions where Coquitlam will take on roles appropriate and proportional to the authority and resources of the City, but requires partner contributions to be successful.
The City's next steps will be implementing ten high-priority action items including:

I'm Still Here, 'Norbit'
Variety says critics should take some time off; our columnist tactfully declines
My favorite columns by Peter Bart, the editor in chief of Variety, are those he frames as avuncular memos to Hollywood's heavy hitters.
"You're a guy who always likes to face the facts, Tom," he told Tom Cruise at a pivotal point in the star's career, "so I imagine you're confounded by the mixed messages surrounding MI3." The messages were essentially that "Mission: Impossible 3" was a big hit, but its star was being battered by unprecedented personal criticism. The editor's advice? Pipe down....

Australian heavyweight Tai Tuivasa is set to fight Bulgarian Blagoy Ivanov at UFC 238 in Chicago on June 9th AEST.
Only weeks after being rated a future UFC champion by Brazilian star Junior dos Santos, The Daily Telegraph can reveal 25-year-old Tuivasa has agreed to a bout with Ivanov -- the fighter who famously survived a 2012 bar stabbing.
Apart from undergoing six hours of lifesaving surgery, the heavyweight was also put into an induced coma before eventually completing a full recovery.
In 20 fights, Ivanov has lost only twice.
Since joining the UFC last year, the 32-year-old suffered a unanimous decision loss against Brazilian Junior dos Santos in July before then earning a decision win over American Ben Rothwell earlier this month.
His is currently ranked No.14.
Tuivasa, meanwhile, suffered the first loss of his professional career against dos Santos in Adelaide last December -- a second round TKO.
However, the former Sydney Roosters player, who is ranked No.12 in the heavyweight division, looked strong in the opening round and will start the betting favourite against Ivanov.
When quizzed on Tuivasa earlier this months, JDS told The Daily Telegraph: "I'm excited about Tai Tuivasa.
"And I do believe he can become a great champion.
"Right now, Tai's young.
"In our fight, he was really putting on some pressure. Walking forwards, very hungry.
"But he was walking forwards too much.
"All the time actually.
"So I was able to use my experience, stop and then connect with one of my punches.
"And in the heavyweight division, when you connect your opponent is going to feel it.
"But it was a good fight, I think he'll have a great career."
Asked what advice he would give the Sydneysider in the wake of their loss, dos Santos continued: "There's no secret, you just have to work hard.
"And from what I understand, these things Tai is already doing.
"He's also got a great role model in Mark Hunt. I think he's going to have a really exciting future."

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has issued recommendations for a preliminary version for a new design for clinical trials during an annual session (June 2, 2013). Recent advancements in science, technologies and therapies have made it necessary for upgrades.
According to Dr. Lee Ellis (committee chair and director of the colorectal cancer translational research program) at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, "First, we owe it to our patients to do better". Secondly, "tumors can be defined by their molecular drivers and we have a better understanding of cancer biology. Immune therapy is working, and we need to exploit this and look for biomarkers." Thirdly, with limited funding due to economic restraints from funding agencies the question becomes do we run a few large trials or many small ones. If we run small trials, they will have to be done smarter so clinical trial designs need to be reevaluated.
As Dr. Ellis points out, ASCO continues to receive information from the medical community, so these new guidelines are only draft recommendations. The important thing is to "raise the bar" and make better use of genomic medicine to improve clinical outcomes. Ellis also points out that these new guidelines will not go over well with everyone. However, valid arguments will help to build better designs.
Draft Recommendations
For Pancreatic Cancer
Goals: Clinical trials should improve overall survival by 50 percent and that quality of life and toxicity specific to pancreatic cancer be considered.
Two states of pancreatic cancer were considered including metastatic cancer and locally advanced with two treatments including Folfironox (irinotecan, oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil) and gemcitabine. The committee suggests that in the Folfironox group, a meaningful survival would be 4 to 5 months and for gemcitabine, 3 to 4 months.
For Lung Cancer
Goals: Clinical trials should improve overall survival by 25 to 30 percent, minimal increase in toxicity.
For squamous cell disease, the benefit would be an increase of 2.5 to 3 months (HR, 0.77 – 0.80); for nonsquamous cell, it would be 3.25 to 4 months (HR, 0.76 – 0.80).
Two subpopulations were reviewed in the advanced metastatic (stage IV) nonsmall-cell lung cancer group which includes those with squamous cell disease and those with non-squamous. Due to some success with EGFR and ALK mutations, these patients were excluded.
For Breast Cancer
Goals: Cytotoxic therapies provide short benefit (2 to 3 months). A meaningful benefit would be an overall survival of 4.5 months.
Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer previously untreated for metastatic was selected. This group has poor survival due to an absence of validated targeted therapies.
For Colorectal Cancer
Goals: Improve overall survival by 50 percent meaning overall survival somewhere between 3 to 5 months, increase in toxicity minimal. This standard is set for patients who have progressed on standard treatments.
This focuses on patients who have had success on first- or second-line therapy or those who are not candidates for standard therapies. Those with BRAF mutations were excluded from this group.
Future Draft Additions
According to Dr. Ellis, progression-free survival needs to be recorded and 1- to 2-year survival recommendations need to be reviewed. The number of patients acceptable (sample size) for a given clinical trial needs to be established to provide for meaningful clinical outcomes.

When I looked at the first picture of the perfect office I thought "Oh dear I'll never match that but as the story grew my heart warmed because your office is much like my office with the clutter of the "in between" projects going on and 3 Furs plus Husband's half of the big long desk he made out of filing cabinets and counter top (my half is much much bigger than his half). And on the floor there's Bandit and Mercer Meyer and on Husband's "half" there's Queen Willow laying on the desk while Husband plays his computer games.
There's no fine art on the walls because the walls hold pictures of our Pekes, calendars and hooks for jewelry items ready to be staged for photographs at the work table on the other side of the office. It's not a big office so it gets pretty crowded in here when all of us are gathered here.
Thanks for a picture of the "dream" office but I doubt I'll ever have need of such a neat and orderly office.

Hush-A-Bye is an interactive, multi-sensory production with live music, puppets and an enchanting environment. They all enjoyed, and were totally engaged in this interactive, multi-sensory production, with live music, puppets and an enchanting environment.
This is the social story that we read before we visited, to prepare the classes for the performance.« Back to Noticeboard

Meet my MC Sam, a 17 year old girl surviving in the aftermath of the collapse of the U.S.
1. There's no point in using this opportunity to talk to living people. All the ones I know are fairly close. I think I would want to talk to my parents. The thought of having to see them again terrifies me, but I'd want them to know that what I did, it was for the best. I just hope they forgive me. I don't think they will.
2. Interesting question, but the answer is that I would drive on. Before the apocalypse I'd be worried that I would end up inspiring an episode of Criminal Minds, nowadays It's very difficult to trust people. Even the ones you think you know.
3. Parallel universes? Yeah, those are cool. Aren't they, like, universes that are similar to our own but are different in any way imaginable. Man, if they were real I'd hop my way over to a universe where I get to have my own house in the mountains, with a fast WiFi connection, of course.
4. Before the apocalypse we had two cats. They disappeared in the first winter. I only hope they're still out there. Maybe they went south, to mexico. Completely irrational, I know. Now I have a dog that I found. His name is Marx, and he's a German shepherd dog. He's blind in one eye and has very little remaining of his left ear. He's well-trained though and very loyal. I'm not sure he could be called a pet, he pretty much pulls his own weight and takes more care of me than I do him. I'd call him a friend.
5. Oh, you're talking about Matt? Shoot, There's a lot of things I find annoying about him. We could write a whole book about the various ways he annoys me. I'll just list three. One, he is never serious. Two, His annoying smile. Three, I love him.
My questions:
1. What's your favourite music genre?
2. Are you computer literate?
3. Where do you call home?
4. What is something you never leave home without?
5. Favourite colour?

What's the difference between these backswings on the forehand…?
alvin480 Asked: What's the difference between these backswings on the forehand…?
I'm wondering why do some tennis players have backswings with the racket facing straight up into the sky, the way Federer does it, while others take the racket back with the racket being horizontal, like the way Roddick does it…
Is there a reason for these differences? Any advantage one has over the other?
For reference:

"Recent checks give us confidence 3D printing will be ~5x current operating profit run rate, and likely will come to fruition," he said. Chokshi raised his price target to $28 from $27.

Bune Launches Environment Week
(Fiji Government Online)
The Minister of Environment Poseci Bune today officially launched the National Environment Week (June 5 – 10) in Sigatoka.
In his address, the honorable Minister said "this is my first obligation since becoming the first Minister of Environment and I have been advised that it will not be the last since the promotional activities for the protection of our natural environment have been scheduled throughout the rest of 2006 and as a matter of fact the campaigns for protecting and conserving Fiji's environment should be on going into the future."
Mr Bune said Fiji is very fortunate to be part of the United Nations and also being part of various international and regional environmental agreements or conventions and their related protocols which allows us to be part of the global environmental programs.
He said for the various agreements to succeed, it requires the effort of the government, the private sector, academic institutions and local communities.
However, "this calls for the setting aside of differences we have at all levels that is economic, social and even political levels so that the appropriate resources and efforts are channeled during this week towards the protection of Fiji's natural environment week."
Fiji now has a legislation in the Environment Management Act of 2005 to establish guiding regulations and standards to comply with and the deterrent penalties for not complying.
Furthermore, the Environment Ministry is putting into place the strategies that would control the generation, use, storage and disposal of all types of waste. Associated with this is the determination of the the appropriate levels of adverse impacts of new development activities on the environment.
The theme for this year's National Environment Week is "Right to Life" and the sub theme is "The Survival of each species of plants and animals is the only insurance for our own survival."
Mr Bune said this would set the direction of our thoughts and deeds during this week and hopefully for the rest of the year.

I know, It's been a little while. I took advantage of this past month to take some time off with my family, rest and get off social media (and by "get off" I mean only checking Facebook 1-2 times a day...progress not perfection).
As you might know if you've been following me for a while, I've been on a journey to simplify my life and create more freedom. It started about a year ago when I began wondering if I needed all these things in my big apartment...and if I needed a big apartment. I got Marie Kondo's book "The life-changing magic of tidying up" and A LOT got donated/recycled. Immediate relief. And astonishment at how much I had accumulated: I moved to the US four years ago, and at that time I had shipped from Belgium only what could fit in my sedan... 3 years later, I needed a moving truck!
I started following the Becoming Minimalist blog (www.becomingminimalist.com) and rethink the way I live. Do I really need 4 different bottles of shampoo? Do I need different products to clean the bathroom, the kitchen, the mirrors, the dishes, etc.? Do I need a big carpeted apartment that takes forever to clean ?
Long story short, 9 months ago I started a journey living in a van for 5 months (what's that for downsizing?). And now I settled again in a 450 square feet apartment. And I use the same product to wash my dishes, my bathroom and my hair (Dr Bronner's if you ask).
The whole journey helped me understand something: simplifying my life doesn't mean having a white empty loft that looks like no one lives in it. It's not about parting with all that is not strictly necessary. It's not about living a sad life of privation. It's about keeping only what we love and what brings us joy. The walls of my apartment are full of paintings I enjoy and photos of people I love. My shelves are full of my favorite books and an indecent number of notebooks. And yet I'd say I'm a minimalist.
And it feels great.

Hello, I'm Cali Bondad, a film & commercial director based in the West Coast.
My name is pronounced "Kaylee"… it helps to think of kale in California. It has definitely been a character-building name. Just whatever you do, please don't serenade me with LL Cool J's old school hit "Going Back to Cali", it brings back awkward memories.
My love of filmmaking runs deep. Since youth, I've been pretending my life is one long and sometimes repetitive movie. I'm always observing the beauty, humanity, and humor in life with the quest to translate it onto film. When it comes down to it, the most memorable commercials, films and photographs are those that allure us with basic human truths and unique imagination. Whether I'm creating a spot for fashion, athletics, lifestyle, or a tech product, my aim is to imbue these compelling elements into the final piece.
I'm thankful for my background as an editor in the advertising world. It's given me the valuable and creative foundation to maintain a clear vision of what to capture when I'm directing. I always "shoot-to-edit", making sure that I have the coverage and storyline needed to build a cohesive, beautiful film in the end.
When I'm not yelling through a megaphone and wearing a beret, I highly enjoy surfing, kickboxing, playing piano, writing short stories, running, learning skateboard tricks from my nephew, and trying not to break new bones.
I'm always the first person to notice a new haircut. And, I believe the best advice is to talk to strangers.
Drop a line and say hello!

Sarcasm, Prayer, My Refrigerator, and Confidence
Sooooo…for many years, I had the following Bible verse posted on my refrigerator: "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" Proverbs 15:1 I hung this verse on my refrigerator because it painted a picture of how I wanted to be. I LOVE the idea of being so self-confident that whatever anyone says to me just rolls right off of my back and I respond with grace and wisdom. However, in the heat of the moment, I love being sarcastic a whole lot more. Biting sarcasm is fun and it feels so great when I perceive an insult. It's kind of like an emotional battle: you took a stab at me and wham! I pulled out a machete! Only, a few minutes later, I would feel awful. I didn't want to tear people down, especially my poor husband and children. I didn't want to respond to an innocent comment with a grenade of cynicism but I kept doing it…
So I hung a Bible verse on my refrigerator and everything changed! LOL… Actually, nothing changed except I felt a little guiltier. When I made my snide comments now, I was reminded that if I had chosen better words I could have defused a volatile situation instead of blowing it up. So I took the next step: I prayed. This was my exact prayer, "Dear God, please help me quit being so mean in the way I respond to people"...
Aaaaaaand…nothing! Nothing changed. So I prayed that prayer relentlessly. I mean I NAGGED God about it. "I want to be wise with my words." "I'm just trying to do what you said, why don't you help me…"
Aaaand…the only thing that changed was that the Bible verse on the refrigerator got really dirty. So I threw it away. I tried to just go on and not think about how I hadn't changed but every time I snapped at someone, there it was: the painful reminder that I wanted to change; I prayed; and nothing happened!
After many years, I was naturally very frustrated. I was mad at God. I felt like I was trying to do the right thing and he wasn't pulling his share of the load (which was all of it…but I mean he's God). So I did the only thing I knew to do. I pulled out a notebook, sat down with a pen and I ranted, for two or three pages, about how angry I was. I desperately wanted to be better…why, why, why, weren't things changing? And woe is me… wah wah wah.
Then, I ended with, this (ironic, sad, and snarky) comment: "So God, what do you have to say about that?" Almost immediately, the big glaring question that I would have liked to avoid hit me: "Where is the meanness coming from?" I had a huge sinking feeling. I did NOT want to deal with the answer to that question. But I knew. Boy did I know. As soon as I heard the question in my head, I knew that I was bitter, jealous, insecure and petty. God wasn't going to zap me and just make me start saying great things because there were so many deeper issues that needed to be dealt with. Grrrrrrr…I hate/love that. It's sooooo hard.
This is a part of prayer that people don't talk about much. I never hear preachers say; "Hey if you pray a lot, God will make you deal with all the stuff in your life that you wish would just remain buried." That message is not flashy or fun and it won't sell a lot of books, but it is true and it is best.
My mean sarcastic remarks came (and still occasionally come) from my insecurities. So, in order for me change, I had to admit my insecurities. That was extremely hard for me. I didn't want to deal with what I was insecure about!
One big area of insecurity for me was my decision to quit teaching. This decision did not result in huge opportunities for me. Rather, I faced the sad reality that not a lot of people want to hire English teachers who don't want to teach. When I was honest in my prayer life about this struggle, I actually began to be less bitter. When I started dealing with my bitterness, I began to gain some confidence. I also saw that my insecurity was keeping me from doing the thing I loved most: writing. I had been too worried about people's reactions to even begin.
I am quite glad that God didn't just zap me and make me a compliant robot that said nice and wise things all the time. Instead, he helped me begin to change the root cause of my mean sarcasm.
So, if you are one of the many people who happens to ask me what good an English degree is, I will still reply with a sarcastic comment. However, now it will be the funny kind of sarcastic where we all laugh at the humor of my situation. Not so long ago, my reply might have been a snide sarcastic comment about your ability to form a cohesive thought! LOL
I'm a work in progress and progress feels great.
Below, I put a picture of the latest verses on my refrigerator, Ephesians 1:19-21. They remind me that I have the power of God working in me and I can be confident. (Even when my "career" is being a grandma blogger!)
P.S. Dear readers,
Please do not take my admission that I have a degree in English as a challenge to point out all of my errors. This is a blog! I am writing casually. I'm not applying to be a professor at Harvard! So back off!
(Was that mean sarcasm?...OOOPs!...still working on it!)

ERIE, Pa. – No. 6 seed Penn State Altoona softball's postseason run came to an end on Saturday, when the Lady Lions lost 9-0 in five innings to No. 1 Penn State Behrend during day two of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Tournament.
The Lady Lions (18-20) were held to just one hit, while top-seeded Behrend (26-10) stamped out nine runs and ended the game early via the eight-run rule.
At the conclusion of the game, senior shortstop Haley Giedroc (Howard, PA/Bald Eagle) and junior third baseman Abby Showers (Philipsburg, PA/Philipsburg-Osceola) were named as Penn State Altoona's representatives to the AMCC All-Tournament team for the conference's weekend playoff tournament.
Showers accounted for Penn State Altoona's lone hit on Saturday, going 1-for-1 with a double. Sidney Lewis (Smithmill, PA/Moshannon Valley) pitched a complete game and took the loss, yielding nine runs in four innings while striking out a pair of batters.
Behrend got on the board in the bottom of the second, when they plated four runs. Kylee Bundy's RBI single down the left field line opened the scoring, and Bundy later scored on an error to make it 2-0. The home team increased its lead to 4-0 on Katie Gozzard's two-run double to center.
RBI triples from Kristen Kargol and Bundy upped Behrend's lead to 6-0 in the third inning.
Behrend scored three more runs in the fourth, getting a two-run single to right from Alayna Derzak and an RBI double to right by Kargol.
Penn State Altoona was unable to score in the top of the fifth to avoid the eight-run rule, and the game ended with Behrend moving on in the tournament and the Lady Lions' season coming to an end.

Our Bottom Line
So far as television goes, a consummation devoutly to be wish'd.
Our Review
… Outrageous and fortunate! Outrageous as in 'Wowee!' and thank you Canadian TV for getting this show together; and fortunate that YouTube provides an inexpensive way of enjoying it. There are two further seasons of Slings and Arrows – Macbeth (2005) and King Lear (2006) – but here's a review of the first: 6 forty-five minute episodes of how Hamlet sold out at the New Burbage Festival, which doesn't exist, but you can think Stratford, Ontario, and by any call this amounts to an enterprise of 'great pitch and moment'.
To begin with it is a tale of two theatres, one – call it a Fringe venture – going down the pan and the other sitting comfortably, nicely established on its bar takings and with requisite benefactors and public funding. But which artistic director is the happier man? Oliver Wells, 'on' his 10th comfortable Dream, knowing full well that half his audience would prefer to be at the ice hockey or Geoffrey Tennant whose storm scene in
The Tempest looks just the ticket until the lights blow again? Answer: Geoffrey, of course; but both men have shared history and neither can get the other out of his head, which is entertaining given that Oliver, who is in all 6 episodes, dies at the end of the first. They have an amusing thing going with Yorick's skull.
So, a third director is hired to take over Oliver's next production. No, not liberal Geoffrey, in whom you might see Justin Trudeau's big brother, but leather trousered Darren (splendidly 'Me, Me, Me' by Don McKellar), whose idea of stage action comes straight out of Kraftwerk's Roboter and who regards Hamlet as a corpse of a play. Darren and Geoffrey, as you'd expect, go at each other with swords. One retires hurt to Berlin.
Three writers may share the credits: Susan Coyne (who also turns in an excellent performance as faithful festival administrator, Anna) Bob Martin and Mark McKinney – but, to judge from Season 1, Slings and Arrows is not at all 'sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought'. Each episode opens with honky-tonk piano at the bar and the rousing song, 'Cheer up Hamlet, chin up Hamlet; buck up you melancholy Dane!', written by Lisa Lambert and Bob Martin. And nothing in the six episodes muffles that blithe, easy-going theme. Naturally there is a smiling, damned villain in business executive Holly Day (Jennifer Irwin) who slaps poor theatre manager Richard around the bed and into the Board Room and who almost, almost, gets her wicked commercial way but otherwise those whips and scorns of time are gently borne. Yes, Oliver (Stephen Ouimette) suffers 'pangs of despis'd love' and Ellen (Martha Burns), kind of dumped by Geoffrey, sleeps with younger men because that's what a leading lady does; but then there's sweet loving between Kate (Rachel McAdams at 25, just before Mean Girls and Notebook) and Jack Crew (Luke Kirby), who will play the Prince but is a movie star and is (therefore?) reckoned to be a little flaky in the acting department. (See pic at the beginning of this review for these two).
Where there is structure, as opposed to perky scenes of theatre folk, it is put together and its tensions held together by Geoffrey (Paul Gross, fresh from 67 episodes of genre-busting Due South). This is a theatre director capable – and why not? – of turning a toilet plunger into Prospero's staff and who believes 'that the best stuff happens just before the thread snaps'. He'd like to have Electra, Mother Courage, and Pericles in the next festival programme. In Episode 5, 'A mirror up to Nature', he nails Ophelia's plight and then brings down Ellen, as Gertrude, from her insufferably vain heights. By the opening night in Episode 6, 'Playing the Swan' (there's a swan ride in the park too!) Jack/Hamlet is waiting to go on: "I'm going to throw up". Geoffrey's advice? "Use it".
At its heart Slings and Arrows – like Kenneth Branagh's A Midwinter's Tale – is a tribute piece. It applauds theatre and play making and actors and crew … and Shakespeare. It's respectful, comic and clever. It should be far better known in the UK than it is. Maybe that's changing but either way Canada and the US got there first on this one.
Soft you now, here's a professional companion.

What is outstanding capital?
The idea of outstanding capital is quite simple: it is the amount of capital due by the borrowers, interests and provisions excluded. Nonetheless, it is important to correctly understand how outstanding capital is calculated, as it is not as simple as it looks and sometimes this might generate some confusion.
Where and how outstanding capital is displayed?
Outstanding capital can be found in two areas of the portfolio page: Summary and Loans.
The Summary area shows an overview of the total amount of outstanding capital, calculated on all the projects to which you lent your money:
You can also get a more detailed view of the outstanding capital of each project in the Loans page. The first example below shows the outstanding capital of a project up to date in its repayments whereas the second example shows the outstanding capital of a project with a default of less than 30 days (see next paragraph for explanation about how defaults affect the outstanding capital).
Example 1
Example 2
How outstanding capital is affected by project defaults, and how this reflects on your gains
Project defaults have an impact on the outstanding capital. In case of default we apply a provision to your outstanding capital, which increases according to the number of days of delay. Indeed, the more days the borrower is in default the less likely it is going to repay.
Why do we apply a provision on your outstanding capital? It is the best way we have found for you to visualise the health of your October portfolio at any given time.
As a reminder, capital repayments in case of default are affected as follows:
- Loans which are less than 30 days late: 40% haircut,
- Loans which are between 30 and 120 days late: 80% haircut,
- Loans which are subject to a legal recovery procedure or more than 120 days late: 100% haircut.
Therefore, the outstanding capital is progressively cut as the provision applied increases. It is important to note that provisions and early repayments, affecting the outstanding balance, also affect your internal rate of return (IRR).
You may notice that this provision may result in a loss of gains in your Portfolio page. This is due to the fact that we consider the cut of outstanding capital as a potential loss, which will obviously have a negative impact on your gains.
Nonetheless, you should keep in mind that this is only a provision, even in case of default it might still be possible to recover* the amount due by the company, partially or even totally. Also, in case all the other projects are not subject to defaults, you will continue to increase your gains, which will progressively reduce the loss. This implies that you have diversified your Portfolio.
*For more detailed information on how defaults are managed and displayed in your Portfolio page, you can read this tutorial.
Avoiding confusion when calculating outstanding capital
Although outstanding capital seems quite simple to understand as a notion, the way it is calculated might be a little tricky and generates confusion in many cases. Let's see why.
1. The outstanding capital of each project
When verifying the exactitude of the outstanding capital of each project, you may be tempted to subtract the amount already received from the total capital you lent to the project. This always results in a wrong amount because repayments are made up not only of principal but also of interest. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the outstanding just shows the principal to be received excluding the interest and the provisions.
In order to calculate the correct outstanding amount you need to separate interests from the total amount received, and then subtract the total capital repayment from the initial loan.
Let's take an example. If you consider the project displayed above, which has a 40% provision, the outstanding capital will be calculated as follows:
initial loan - capital received - provision = outstanding capital
You can also consult your outstanding capital on one project directly from the initial loan contract. To know how to download your loan contract, you can read this tutorial.
2. The outstanding capital of the portfolio
Let's now calculate the total outstanding capital of your portfolio, considering the project mentioned above is the only one with a 40% provision. To do this, you can take a look to the Balance section:
The initial amount lent is €580, while the capital repayment (excluding interests) is €201.76, to which you need to add the 40% provision (€5,98). The total outstanding balance will be:
580 - 201.76 - 5.98 = € 372,26
In case you have doubts or need any clarifications on how to calculate the outstanding capital of your portfolio, don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

My three super words for 2017 are Deepen, Sharpen, Share. These are the three words that are supposed to guide my approach and intention through the year.
- Deepen: Working on deepening relationships is not easy. Especially when you would prefer to not to talk to anyone - which is my usual resting state. So one thing that works for bringing a little juice to my game is focusing on another word entirely: Gratitude. Every morning I spend time meditating around this one word, what it means, and what I can be more grateful for. I usually think about the ONE THING that is frustrating me the most, then I try to come at it from a place of gratitude and questions like 'Why the hell am I facing this challenge?. This often forces me to accept responsibility for where I am, and by extension allows me to go deeper. Mostly, but not always.
- Sharpen: This is about upping one's game. When asked how he would approach cutting down a tree in six hours with just an axe, Abraham Lincoln replied "I would spend the first four hours sharpening the axe." You can't do great work if you are dull, and I've been working pretty hard at eating well, getting exercise (T25, yo) and being awake to opportunity. This isn't a 24/7 proposition, but my game is getting better - especially creatively. Improving habits.
- Share: This is perhaps the thing I need the most work on - and is directly related to the deepening mantra above. Because I'm a hermit who would prefer just sitting in front of his keyboard (sharing online counts very little - sharing with the people in front of you is the goal), I need to force myself to share. To have conversations. To engage.Even at work, I can disappear for hours and not talk to anyone. So I'm trying to pick one thing to share with the people closest to me, each and every day (you have to start somewhere).
Overall, I'm doing all right. There's still lots of room to grow and shake things up. To make bigger impressions. To connect more. To love more. That's the goal, isn't it?

Hello! Hola! Guten Tag!
Ok. So. I had the idea of vlogging long before I had started the Guten Tag Blog. Recently I thought it would be interesting for all of you to actually get to see what my life in Germany is like through more than just words and photos. Therefore, I have decided to try out vlogging! I am really excited, I think it will be something enjoyable for everyone who watches, while also pushing me out of my comfort zone and forcing me to explore more than I maybe would have before! I will let y'all know when I upload the first video, and if any of you have ideas, or requests for what I should do (maybe other than just a normal vlog) email me, DM me on Instagram, or leave a comment down below!
Until Next Time!
Stay Gold!

The Tapestry Of Our Lives
Art lives inside the silver fox gray of an unruly beard
and disheveled hair reaching for the clouds
Bringing them down in a floating fluff of white light onto the canvas
Art breathes through the patient, observant eyes of an old cerulean soul
Beauty lives inside the mysterious
deep dive and painter's brushstroke
Ocean hues uncharted and centuries wise
Kindness and chillax feel easy like the Sunday afternoon breeze you so enjoy
Surrounded by wading pools of endless possibility
The artist's eye never lies
Hidden under a sarong
Making hipster chic look effortless
Stretching searching seeing
Feeling emoting
360 degrees and beyond
We are blessed in the cocoon of your light
Nurturing, safe and in awe
Releasing the oh so lovely sigh
Ooh la la, too
Opening our hearts and blowing our minds
The tapestry of color weaved with delicate precision
Painting finite pink sands, surf, sun and seashells
Red rock mountains and barren landscapes too
The artist's way so becomes you
Leaving everyone a little prettier and softer
Sweeter on the inside
Mesmerized by your creativity
The framework leaves us captivated and inspired
The tapestry of our lives
We need art, truth and beauty more than ever

Here's a video update I made while charging my car before heading home to get ready for a party in Brooklyn on New Year's Eve.
Here's a video update I made while charging my car before heading home to get ready for a party in Brooklyn on New Year's Eve.
Be sure you have the right calculator for test day! Last week one of our Foley Prepsters had his calculator confiscated at the ACT site. This was very jarring for him, as it was allowed Casio calculator that he had used twice before on the ACT. If your child is not using the ultra-common, permitted TI 83, or 84 calculators, please go to the following links to print out the permitted calculator information - and BRING THE PRINTOUT ON TEST DAY!

I've been involved in education at many levels for almost 3 decades and this book seems like it hits on much of what concerns me. It's in the mail and arrives Friday. I'll write more after I've read it.
It's #12 on all of Amazon as I write, with positive comments from everyone from Niall Ferguson to Michael Bloomberg to Cornel West. I'll be looking out for for Greg and Jon on their book tour. Want to come?

The first time we meet, we will discuss what your selling objectives are. This is a good time to ask questions, and I will give you an idea of what to expect during the selling process. We will discuss preliminary ideas for pricing and house preparations. I will provide you with a complete Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA) for your property.
Once you decide you are ready, we will review and sign a standard Listing Agreement. We will also complete all of the mandatory disclosure forms. I will arrange for any necessary inspections.
Before putting your home on the market, we want to ensure it is most attractive to potential buyers. Knowing how to showcase and accentuate the best features of your home, without incurring unnecessary expense, is at the core of what I do. I will provide you with a detailed Home Preparation Consultation and a Selling Tips Sheet. As we walk through your property, we will discuss minor repairs, curb appeal tips, staging, and making your property feel welcoming to potential buyers. If staging is necessary, I will share some options based on your property.
Pricing your home competitively, at the start, will create more activity among brokers and buyers and lead to a more successful sale.
Establishing the value and list price for your property involves researching and comparing similar properties and weighing factors including location, condition, amenities, and market conditions. We will arrive at a competitive price aimed at generating strong buyer activity.
Understanding where buyers come from allows me to market your property competitively. Creating excitement in the marketplace through consistent and aggressive marketing efforts and integrating online and offline efforts is key to a successful sale.
Let's make your home stand out as we work together to better understand your needs in addition to how we can correlate them with the buyer that will fall in love with your home for the same reason you did.
The internet and technology in general has made it easier for consumers to find their perfect home. However, with the multitude of sites displaying the same properties, it can make it harder for buyers to distinguish one property from another.
We want your home to stand out from the crowd, and to help a buyer fall in love with your home as you did.
If there is one thing we know for certain, it's that Buyers want to see rich media.
We want a buyer to be blown away by the details in your home, in addition to them seeing themselves living in and loving it. Every home has professional photography and a "Lifestyle" video made to bring your home and neighborhood to life. This is not a simple walkthrough of your home that doesn't capture the angle of the natural light that brightens your home at the perfect time in the evening, but
With so many foreign investors & "busy buyers on the go", it baffles us why there are so few using the 3D virtual Reality technology above, especially when we have sold properties to buyers who never stepped inside the home they bought before because of this technology.
We've partnered with the right professionals to ensure our listings have every advantage we can provide over the competition. The last thing you want is for your home to be marketed with sub-par photography and other media when competing with short attention spans, neighboring sellers, or just competing to get the highest possible price for your sale!
Now that your amazing Property Story has been created, how do we get Buyers to our website to see it? We employ a few different strategies, but paramount among them is Facebook Marketing & Advertising.
Over the past 12 months, our Facebook ads were seen over 750,000 times and clicked on more than 75,000 times.
Don't you think your home deserves more exposure than just a listing on the mls, zillow, trulia, etc?
We also understand people don't go to Facebook to buy a home... But we know the people who are buying homes are on Facebook.
More than once, we've heard stories similar to: "We weren't looking to buy a home, but we saw your listing on Facebook & realized we had to have it."
Does it really make a difference?
You better believe it.
We know the best way to ensure your home sells for top dollar is to make sure it looks amazing and is exposed to as many people as possible.
With more than 750,000 impressions and 75,000+ clicks in the last 12 months, our marketing and advertising process gives our Sellers that advantage.
That's why 90% of our listings were sold within the first two weeks in the past 12 months.
The complexities of processing transactional documents will be made very easy for you through my continuous guidance and communication. I will review all offers and terms of each offer with you and negotiate on your behalf so that you obtain the highest possible price for your home while limiting your exposure and protecting your bests interests.
Once your home is in escrow I will prepare all seller required disclosures and reports, attend appraisal with recent comparables to support your purchase price, and make sure all contingencies and repair requests are removed in a timely manner per the contract. Communication between us is imperative and I can assure you that you will be informed every step of the way.
Congratulations, you have now sold your home! I will provide you with helpful moving hints and also be there to answer any questions. I am always available to help you should a question arise after the close of escrow and I want to ensure that you are 100% satisfied.

Words can't express how much my team felt towards this pair. They're such a caring and down to earth couple. They tried their very best to entertain each guest including my team, who was there for work. It was a 10 hours long event, but we enjoyed every bit, the live band, the setup, the crazy yet friendly guests and the genuine love story were perfect for us to create beautiful shots. Also, Joe is a senior architect. He grants an architect firm and a nice hostel in Koh Samui. They both decided to have their wedding at one of his proud design, Villa Thalanena which he designed and built in the year 2013.
"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for our photo gallery. The photos are absolutely stunning, and the album itself has received so many compliments from all who have viewed it! Ammata's Eyes is the best choice that we made for our wedding, and his work is with a strong message and emotions. We did compare tons of photographers in Phuket, most of them quoted me a much lower price, but we decided to go for this team. Their team is way more professional, and also they speak good English which I think it is the key to direct us on how to pose. All the best!!!" - reviewed by Joe & Panun at Ammata's Eyes Facebook Page

Oranges and knives, bread and wine. Sicilia!
Here are the beginning and ending of the only Straub-Huillet film I've seen, Sicilia!. Their subtitles are not in English so watching these are a test of my Romance language background understanding; and yet, at the same time, the way the Straubs direct their actors to speak is like music. It's just as pleasurable to simply let the sound run and look at other things. If you speak Italian, though, I imagine it's a different experience. You can appreciate the conversations for their constative elements as much as their musical rhythms (especially during the list at the end), as well as the subtle psychology of the Straubs' editing. It's all in the grammar. Here's that electrifying compulsion: I have to see more. --RWK

It takes a certain amount of élan to make a goatskin coat, a double duchesse satin blouse, capri-length cargo pants and stamped-croc slip-ons in a yellow so bright it could make the sun blush.
It takes no less élan — and an equal measure of brass — to make them of quality that will be as high as it is costly, and to do it in one's first season in existence, when one's label's name is yet an uncertainly pronounced novelty.
That is exactly what Sander Lak, 32, the creative director of the new label Sies Marjan (Seez Mar-JAHN) did. Mr. Lak said that yellow took much effort and dyeing in development. Visiting him in his showroom and atelier — the former home of Ralph Rucci, the rare American-born couturier — before his first show, a reporter observed that it was the precise color of the great American urbanite and style icon, Big Bird.
Mr. Lak laughed. "But, like, a fashion bird," he said.
Mr. Lak is an evangelist for color, which, in the black- and neutral-mad world of fashion, hits with gale force ("Like a slap in the face," was how he described it).
"There's no black in the collection," Mr. Lak said, save for a single jacquard fabric woven with an iridescent rainbow image of club kids. "Even on my team, I shamelessly force people to wear color. Everyone always thinks black is slimming and nice, but it's not at all the case. There's very few women that look good in black."
There in the showroom were racks nearly vibrating with candy pink, Dutch orange, yellow and lavender, offset by camel, burgundy and mauve. He said that one coat, in a pink-and-orange scheme, had initially given him a feeling of déjà vu he couldn't place. "All of a sudden, we were like … Dunkin' Donuts!" he said happily.
High fashion does not often stoop to Dunkin' Donuts to conquer, but Mr. Lak's first show, held in an expansive, under-construction penthouse in TriBeCa, dominated the week's chatter almost immediately. Editors swooned. ("Just might've been my favorite NYFW moment so far," wrote Vogue's Nicole Phelps.)
Barneys bought the collection — with a two-year exclusive — after previewing it last month, long before the first show. "The entire team," said Jennifer Sunwoo, an executive vice president at Barneys, responded to "nonchalant sophistication and cool, downtown elegance."
Mr. Lak arrived in New York after four years in the Antwerp studio of Dries Van Noten, and some of Mr. Van Noten's taste for color, embellishment and eclecticism runs through his work.
But Mr. Lak is eclectic unto himself. His mood board is a riot of references ("Barry Lyndon" next to David Armstrong's pink-haired Boyd Holbrook in the bathtub), his background global: He was raised in Malaysia, Brunei, Gabon, Scotland and the Netherlands; educated in London; and has worked in Paris, Antwerp and New York.
"I'm from everywhere and nowhere," he said.
Mr. Lak, it stands to reason, is used to creating his own world around him. He spent time and considerable expense ("He's not cheap," said Joey Laurenti, his amused boss) to outfit his new offices: a furry couch like a hibernating Muppet, faux Mies van der Rohe chairs reupholstered to his taste, floor-to-ceiling bookcases stocked with his own reference library.
Having spent more than a year developing his vision and his environs, Mr. Lak is allowing the world to peer in.
"Whether you like it or not, I don't care about that," he said. "You see that it's somebody's point of view."
