A solar program from the World Bank Group (WBG) will lead to over 1.2 gigawatts of competitively priced utility-scale solar PV in Zambia, Senegal, Ethiopia and Madagascar in the coming years, according to new research.
Despite criticism from local developers, the program is a breakthrough risk mitigation and advisory mechanism that offers global solar developers a chance to secure a foothold in new markets with high growth potential and low rates of energy access.
GTM Research and Blue Horizon ECS are out with a new report on WBG's Scaling Solar Program, finding it could be a catalyst for emerging markets.
The Scaling Solar Initiative is designed to address utility-scale solar project development challenges in emerging markets through a transparent auction overseen by the International Finance Corporation, with prescreened project sites and standardized contracts. Its aim is to support the procurement of utility-scale solar PV projects through a one-stop shop for turnkey advisory and due diligence, as well as standardized contracts that can be used by "any government and any bidder and any bank."
The program also leverages risk reduction products from WBG to allow countries with high perceived risks and limited institutional capacity to benefit from solar PV project financing (typically LIBOR + single-digit market rates for 17- to 19-year terms).
Scaling Solar made headlines in June 2016 when a First Solar-Neoen consortium was awarded a bid of USD $0.0602 cents per kilowatt-hour (non-indexed) for the 54 megawatt-DC West Lunga project site, less than one year after signing the initial memorandum of understanding with the Zambian government….

Donald Trump should push the nuclear button.
No, not the one that launches actual nuclear weapons. I mean the one that blows up Democratic obstruction to his Supreme Court nominee and puts a reliable conservative on the court to replace justice Antonin Scalia.
There is no reason for Trump and Senate Republicans not to go nuclear. Senate Democrats have already made clear their intention to stonewall his nominee, before even knowing whom he plans to nominate on Tuesday night. "If the nominee is not bipartisan and mainstream, we absolutely will keep the seat open," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., recently declared.
No, you won't. Senate Democrats don't have the power to "keep the seat open."
That's because, in 2013, Democrats broke a nearly four-decade-long precedent and changed Senate rules to eliminate the filibuster for executive branch nominations and appointments to the federal circuit or district courts - allowing them to be confirmed by simple majority. Eliminating the filibuster for political appointments that die with a president's term was one thing. But Democrats eliminated the filibuster for lifetime appointments to the federal bench as well. Once that line was crossed, Republicans can now rightly ask: Why stop at the district and circuit courts of appeal? If Democrats openly say they will obstruct anyone Trump chooses, why not follow the precedent they set and apply their rules to Supreme Court nominees?
The reason Democrats eliminated the filibuster for judicial appointments was to let Barack Obama stack the federal courts with liberal judges - particularly the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the nation's second-highest court, which reviews many critical cases related to federal laws and regulations. And stack the courts Obama did. He appointed more than one-third of the federal judiciary and reversed the ideological balance of the 13 U.S. circuit courts of appeals. When he took office, 10 circuit courts had conservative majorities. Today, nine have liberal majorities, including the D.C. Circuit.
Going nuclear paid huge dividends for the left. One of the liberal judges Obama put on the D.C. Circuit on a party-line vote was Nina Pillard. She later authored the decision that upheld the Obamacare contraception mandate. When Obama first nominated her Democrats never expected her to be confirmed. She was, White House sources toldPolitico, "a sacrificial lamb, a scalp Republicans could claim while confirming" Obama's other picks. She went on to write the decision that forced the Little Sisters of the Poor to violate their religious conscience.
Obama and Senate Democrats used the nuclear option to shift the ideological tilt of the nation's second-highest court. And if Democrats had controlled the Senate last year, does anyone doubt they would have hesitated to use it to put Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court over Republican objections? Of course they would have. And the next time they are back in the majority, they will not hesitate to use the nuclear option to overcome Republican opposition to a liberal nominee. It is only a matter of time before the nuclear option is invoked. The only question is whether it will be invoked by Republicans now, or by Democrats later.
So why wait? Trump should forget about the Democrats and pick the most conservative nominee possible. He does not even need every Republican to vote with him. He needs just 50 of the 52 Senate Republicans to vote in favor, and Vice President Mike Pence can cast the tie-breaking vote.
By going nuclear, Trump has a chance to do something no modern Republican president has ever done - have a perfect record on Supreme Court nominations. As I have pointed out, over the past three decades, Democratic presidents have appointed four justices - Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor - and every single one has been a consistent liberal on the bench. Republicans, by contrast, have picked seven justices - Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, David Souter, Samuel Alito and John Roberts - and more than half have defected to vote with the court's liberal bloc on critical issues. Democrats have a perfect record, while Republicans are not even batting .500.
One reason is that, while Republicans have consistently allowed qualified liberal justices with whom they disagreed philosophically to move forward (Sotomayor was confirmed 68-31, and Kagan was confirmed by a vote of 63-37) Democrats do not. This meant that Democrats could appoint justices who openly affirmed liberal positions (declaring, as Ginsburg did in her confirmation hearing, that the right to abortion was "central to a woman's life, to her dignity") while conservative nominees had to speak cryptically in terms of judicial philosophy to avoid a Democratic filibuster.
Well, that is no longer necessary. Trump can, if he so chooses, put a nominee on the Supreme Court who has openly and correctly declared that Roe v. Wade is the "worst abomination in the history of constitutional law" - and Democrats are powerless to stop him.
If and when that happens, Democrats will have no one to blame but themselves - because they set the precedent that Republicans will follow. Back in 2013, when then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., invoked the nuclear option for lifetime judicial appointments, The Post reported that after the vote "Reid and his leadership team held a victory party with liberal activists afterward in a room just off the Senate floor."
Let's hope they enjoyed it. Because the party's over.

Accident: Fire Iroquois Thtr.
|Iroquois Theater Fire in Chicago
|born on
|30 December 1903 at 15:32 (= 3:32 PM )
|Chicago, Illinois, 41n51, 87w39
|CST h6w (is standard time)

American accident, fire broke out at the Iroquois Theater. Over 1900 people, mainly women and children were in attendance at the holiday matinee of the popular musical "Mr. Blue Beard, Jr." At least 600 perished, including only one of the 500 performers and crew, the tightrope artist caught high above the stage.
The fire was attributed to a hot light against a velvet curtain, The flames spread quickly since the canvas backdrops had been painted with flammable paints and the theater , which had only been opened about a month, lacked fire extinguishers, hoses, and other fire-fighting equipment. Some of the exit doors had locked gates in front of them, while other gates required the use of levers to open them. In the ensuing panic, people were crushed to death or died of smoke and flames. The fire was put out within half an hour, and the theater re-opened less than a year later under a new name, The Colonial, which closed in 1925.

PT quotes AFA Bulletin 5/4/43, article by Keye Lloyd entitled, "The Chicago Iroquois Theater Fire. The author says the first alarm was turned in at 3:32 PM, but the Chicago Public Library says that the first flames erupted at 3:15 PM.

Investors in an Egyptian petroleum refinery project, led by Citadel Capital and Qatar Petroleum, have secured $3.7 billion in financing for the facility, the project operator said on Thursday.
The financing, put together by private equity firm Citadel, includes a $1.1 billion equity investment and is backed by a $2.6 billion debt package, Egypt Refining Company (ERC) said in a statement. Project partners include the Egyptian government.
The ERC project is to produce more than 4.1 million tonnes of refined products and oil derivatives annually, including more than 2.3 million tonnes of Euro V diesel per year. This is expected to cut Egyptian diesel imports by up to 50 percent.
The ERC said the refinery, on the outskirts of Cairo, will contribute $300 million in direct benefits to the state and create jobs. It is set to start operating in 2016.
"(The project) will reduce present-day diesel import needs by 50 percent, improve air quality in the Greater Cairo Area (and) help reduce Egypt's annual subsidy bill," ERC said.
A series of attacks on the natural gas pipeline that runs from Egypt to Israel has cut off supplies to the region and have forced Egypt to seek more fuel from abroad to meet rising demand from power generation and fuel needs for heavy vehicles.
Egypt's military rulers have sought to hike diesel imports as fuel shortages in central Cairo this year have caused long queues at petrol stations and traffic jams in some main thoroughfares, angering the public.
In its latest tender, Egyptian General Petroleum Corp (EGPC) was seeking to buy more than 1 million tonnes of gasoil, or diesel, from July to September, worth around $1 billion — almost as much as it sought in the preceding six months.
Under the financing package for the refinery, EGPC has invested $270 million for a 23.8 percent interest in the project while Qatar Petroleum International committed over $362 million for a 27.9 percent stake, the statement said.
Citadel has directly and indirectly invested over $155 million and holds an equity stake of 11.7 percent.
Other participants include Gulf Arab investor, the World Bank's financing arm, the Netherlands' development bank FMO, Germany' s p rivate-sector lender DEG and InfraMed Infrastructure, a private and independent investment fund.
EFG Hermes Investment Bank acted as placement manager for the equity component. The financing is backed by a $2.6 billion debt package arranged by ERC's financial advisor, French bank Societe Generale and made up of senior and subordinated debt issued to Asian and African development agencies and banks.

Copyright Lawsuit: New Motion to Show That Aga Khan is NOT the Real Plaintiff - 2010-07-31
Since the Defendants are acting on a Farman to them made in 1992, and since this Farman also gives instructions and guidance to continue distributing Farmans, then there is nothing in Ismaili Faith nor in the Canadian Legal system that can force them to stop their actions except the Imam, by giving new instructions Himself.
The Defendants have motioned to halt all proceedings until direct evidence from the Plaintiff can be received. The Defendants have also motioned for Discovery of the Imam for 5 minutes in Paris to confirm that he is not the one who initiated the lawsuit and to tell him the whole truth of the forgeries.
Since there is so much evidence pointing to this case being initiated and run by a usurper, it is understandable that he and his supporters will feel like they are in hot water, and will continue to fulfill their threat to ruin the defendants and their reputation.

Discovery Request by Defendants Will Demonstrate That Imam is Not the Real Plaintiff - Copyright Lawsuit - 2010-07-31Posted July 31st, 2010 by heritage
Request by the Defendants for Discovery Would Help the Plaintiff Win
The Plaintiff's Lawyer, Mr. Gray informed the Defendants that he advised the Imam NOT to attend for Discovery, which prompted the Defendants to question, why would counsel advise against a five-minute meeting to end the case and instead continue toward 10 or more full days' worth of legal proceedings other than to earn excess fees... Hence the bringing of the Motion by the Defendants to stay all cross-examinations until it can be confirmed if the Imam is really behind the litigation.

Could It Be? Armor Parity at Last?
What? I know, I know. I should be ashamed. Am I finding bugs and reporting them … no. Am I spending my time in beta ferreting out useful information … no. Am I basically … I don't know … playing dolls? Um, yeah. Sort of. My only excuse is the visual part of the the game is very important to me.
There has long been an imbalance between what armor looks like on female characters and what it looks like on males. Yeah, to the point of ridiculousity in a lot of cases. Redbeard posted a great cartoon of game armor logic.
But what's this! I made a level 100 male Warlock … no, what … never mind why, jeez. Well actually Cim made him, it's her dream date I guess. I noticed his chest armor was rather scanty. NO! I wasn't complaining but I wondered what a female Warlock in the same armor set would look like. I mean, it can't be scantier, can it?
Look! I think she has more coverage than he does! Is this a new era? Will we at last have armor parity? Is this a sign of things to come?
Yes, Cim was apparently busy making multiple trials conjuring up her idea man. I like him Cim. In fact I like him so much what do you think about changing your … OW! Crap, Cim call that stupid demon off me! It was just a thought, I was just thinking out loud! JEEZ! So touchy.
Yeah, I see a world of trouble brewing here. I'm just saying. Come on, don't you see it? That might be Cim's dream date but he's EXACTLY Cat's type. EXACTLY. This might get ugly. Demons and claws smack down over him.
I took a peek at Cat in beta, she's looking decidedly more cheery now. The last version would have torn into Cim the Warlock for a chance at a shot at him, this one looks more peaceful. Maybe this one will just roll her own date. I can only hope.

Where does a warlock get a 6-pack? Does fel magic burn calories?
The dude has an 8-pack. Makes the keg that I have look pretty lame.
I like that. I've been complaining for a very long time and fairly loudly about the armor inequality situation. It would definitely make my day if the men got saddled with more of the skimpy armor the women always seem to. And well, that warlock wears it well. Maybe he sold his soul for that physique? Thera says even -she- might consider dating humans if they look like that.
Hello! I'm reading you all the time but i'm so lame with commenting. Anyways 🙂 I'm so happy with this! I was always saying that i would never want to censor anything. Just make equal amounts of "airy" outfits for both girls and boys. Now give me some armorkinins for my warrior pls!

There I was in full ceremonial robes sitting on a stage at the University of British Columbia (UBC) looking on as each of the 18 graduates of Canada's first-ever graduating class of the Bachelor of Urban Forestry (B.U.F.) eagerly and nervously passed in front of me to pick up their degree… and the only thing I kept thinking was, "If only Erik Jorgensen could have been here to witness this. It would have made him so proud."
For those of you who aren't familiar with Dr. Erik Jorgensen, he was the Canadian who coined the term "urban forestry" (viewed by many as an oxymoron at the time). After arriving from Denmark as a forest pathologist for the federal government, he joined the University of Toronto in 1959 and began to study and combat Dutch Elm Disease (DED), which was ravaging the landscapes of eastern North America. He was supposed to lead a national urban forestry program in Ottawa, but the government and university's priorities changed, so he finished his career at the University of Guelph.
As his daughters later told me, Erik often felt frustrated and unappreciated. Being a visionary, he was at times rebuked and ignored by the forestry establishment who (he felt) trivialized his work or felt that it did not deserve the attention (or funding) that timber-oriented areas of forestry received. Throughout the '60s and '70s he often spoke of the need for undergraduate and graduate training in urban forestry. He would have never imagined the creation of this Bachelor of Urban Forestry program – it would have been his dream.
As the urban forestry world continued to boom in the 1990s, the need for urban foresters dramatically increased resulting in people (almost all men) working (largely for municipalities) with very little undergraduate training in the subject. I, myself, worked summer jobs with Ottawa's National Capital Commission injecting elms against DED and only took a one-semester course in "Urban Forestry" at U of T in my fourth year of forestry. In fact, almost all the professionals working as "urban foresters" for municipalities received undergraduate training in either "classic" forestry (i.e. forest harvesting, wood science, road layout, etc., which are all necessary skills in the industrial forestry world) or maybe biology, but little in urban forestry, whose emphasis then was much more on single tree maintenance (i.e. arboriculture), urban planning and recreation management. Until now…
On May 31, 2018, a beautiful Vancouver day, I actively presented to the first 18 graduates (with more than 60% being women!) of Canada's first Bachelor of Urban Forestry (B.U.F.) at UBC. These young people exemplified the very best of this country, originating from Vancouver and Burnaby, BC, Gimli, MB, and Toronto and London, ON. They even hailed from as far as the USA, China, France and Kenya. It was a remarkable day and I was proud to witness Erik Jorgensen's dream finally come true. Please read my address below.
Graduating Class Address, Michael Rosen
Bachelor of Urban Forestry Graduate Reception, Faculty of Forestry, University of British Columbia, May 31, 2018
Hello again everyone, just to introduce myself for those who may have missed it earlier, I am Mike Rosen and I am the President of Tree Canada.
I would like to congratulate you all on your incredible achievement of graduating from Canada's first-ever Bachelor of Urban Forestry program here at the University of British Columbia.
Not to be overly dramatic, but this graduation is an extremely historic event. The story began when Dr. Erik Jorgensen, a forest pathologist from Denmark founded the Shade Tree Laboratory at the University of Toronto in 1959 and coined the term "urban forestry". You have no idea what your graduation would have meant to him.
The story gets kind of personal: when I was a forestry student, I took the only fourth year course in urban forestry offered by U of T, worked my summers for the National Capital Commission, and injected some of the same elms against Dutch Elm Disease, planted by Dr. Jorgensen.
Although my forestry career took its turns, I did become a Management Forester in a very populated region of southern Ontario being quickly developed in the 1980s. I came back to the urban forestry community when I joined Tree Canada in 2002, where I had a chance to work on a national level.
Tree Canada's motto is "Growing better places to live" and I know that each of you will contribute to this many times over throughout your careers. Every year, thousands of new research papers are published and findings are revised, but one finding in the research literature that has withstood the test of time is that trees are good for us on pretty much every level. They're good for our environment, they're good for our health, they're good for our mental well-being and they're good for our society.
It was only eight short years ago that I wrote the-then-new Dean of UBC, John Innes, urging him to take the brave step in establishing the first urban forestry program in Canada. Today, your graduation from the first Bachelor of Urban Forestry course is a reality. Dean Innes and Professor Sheppard, thank you for your vision and your courage in establishing this program.
And to you, the graduates, thank you as well for your courage in signing up and graduating from this program, sight unseen and with no track record to go from. Thank you for having me here today to congratulate you on this very special day. You have an amazing future ahead of you!

After a week of carrying about my handmade handbag, I need to make another one. That's the problem with the whole "design your own" deal: you really do have to do the project a bunch of times, to make it work out right.
Problems that I will resolve in the next bag:
-the body fabric is too lightweight. If I use linen or dressmaking fabric, I need not only to line the bag, but also layer the top fabric over a stronger fabric. It's too floppy, and the vinyl pulls down heavily on the soft and flexible linen. Even interfacing isn't durable enough for daily purse wear.
-the snaps keep coming off. Snaps are not an appropriate way to close the top of a handbag, where one must open and close it dozens of times a day, reaching in repeatedly for keys, subway card, phone, change, etc. For the revision, I'll use magnets, and set them right into the plastic canvas that gives structure to the top flap.
-the top flaps also have too much flop and wobble, especially when I carry the bag in the "tote" manner where the straps pulls each side at a slight angle. Particularly when the snaps aren't holding tightly (which is always), the whole bag skews slightly from the weight pulling unevenly from the straps.
Back to the drawing board!

Security is the condition of being protected against danger, loss and criminals. In the general sense, security is a concept similar to safety. The nuance between the two is an added emphasis on being protected from dangers that originate from outside. Individuals or actions that encroach upon the condition of protection are responsible for the breach of security.
Amongst the speakers we offer within this category are the former Director Generals from the FBI, KGB and MI5, as well as other security specialists who are available to speak to your organisation who can explain the dangers of the electronic world, political instability of various regions and provide risk assessment for companies investing abroad.

As Christians, we know we aren't supposed to be self-focused, we know we are to love like Christ, we know what the Bible says about putting ourselves before others. But do our actions reflect what we know Scripture calls us to? Are we reflecting Christ's love well, or simply focusing on our own pursuits? Let me take you back to an autumn afternoon.
Heavy rain beat against my windows and wind howled through the alley behind my home when my phone rang. The news I received dropped me to my knees in grief. It had only been six short months since the first blows hit my family, and just a few weeks since my youngest son was released from the NICU. Now we faced yet another deep loss.
My beloved grandfather had gone Home.
Little Grandpa, as we affectionately called him, was more than just a grandfather. Throughout his life, he demonstrated Christlikeness and showed others what it looks like to live out the gospel in spite of being a sinner. The imprint of his walk with God has been embedded deeper within me than his transgressions. He was the type of person to stop along the road to help change a stranger's flat tire, humbly displaying what it means to love others well.
Living three states away, it was no small feat to get me and my preemie to his funeral. Regardless of what it would take to get me there, being able to say goodbye was important.
This journey marked my first flight alone with a baby. Although I tried to pack as light as I could, there's no such thing when traveling with kids of any age. Still recovering from a C-section, I was forced to use a stroller instead of a front pack. I fumbled through the airport, diaper bag slung across my body, pushing a stroller with one hand and pulling a suitcase with the other, with an infant seat strapped to the top. Did I mention the baby was crying in the stroller? Relief hugged me when I finally checked my bag and baby's carseat, freeing my arms to soothe my little peanut.
I quickly took my place in the security line, keenly aware that I'd be the one to slow down the otherwise steadily moving stream of people. As my turn arrived to go through the screening, I placed my coat, shoes, and diaper bag on the conveyor belt. I found it nearly impossible to hold my bundled newborn while trying to collapse the stroller with one hand and place it on the belt.
I needed another set of hands. I needed help. I could feel the impatience and agitation welling up from those in line behind me. Everyone stood there and looked at me as though I was intentionally ruining their day. No one stepped forward to help. Lack of kindness from others left me with feelings of aloneness that mingled with frustration. I thought of my beloved grandpa, and how he would not have hesitated to lend a gracious hand in that moment, even if I had been a stranger. My desire to emulate Christ fueled my determination to set aside my irritation, push through, and conquer the tasks in front of me.
I made it to the gate just in time to board the plane. The gate attendant kindly collapsed the stroller for me so I could lug it to to the end of the jetway. For those few minutes I didn't feel quite so alone. I scooted the diaper bag under my seat and settled in for the three-hour flight, holding my baby close. I took a moment to catch my breath and pray.
As the plane began its descent, I thanked God for a smooth flight with minimal crying from either of us.
Have you ever needed help while surrounded by other people, but nobody bothered to step in? Paul instructs; Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. 1 Corinthians 10:24
Have you ever been the person to whiz past someone who needed help and not offer assistance? I imagine that we've all been in both positions at one time or another.
Many are quick to tell us what we should think of ourselves, including some in the evangelical arena. They tickle our ears with a false gospel and encourage lusting after our own ambitions. The world gushes shouts of praise onto those who stand up in the name of self. We are bombarded with messages that spur us to focus on ourselves and follow our own truths, to be our first priority. It doesn't take much persuading for us to seek our own good.
How many times a day do we choose ourselves over other people because helping someone, loving them like Christ, is an inconvenience? We gather our misplaced judgements and use them to bolster our internal defense for not serving others with the sacrificial love that Christ not only shows us, but also calls us to live out. As fallen sinners in desperate need of a Holy Savior, we all struggle with this issue.
We are valued—but not in the way the world proclaims. We need healing—but not the kind the world offers. We need rest—but rest from this world will not sustain us. Christ is the only truth and help we should seek. He is to be our first priority.
So, what are we to do? How do we step away from the mirror, from focusing on ourselves, and genuinely love others well? How do we love others as Christ loves us (John 13:34-35)? Christ's powerful and broad imperative for how we are to love others may feel impossible. As Christ followers, we don't despair because we know that Christ dwells within us and His love can pour out of us into the lives of others (1 John 4:7-9, 21). How we live is a distinct reflection of our relationship and love for God.
The first thing we need to accept is that apart from Christ, we are weak and insufficient (Romans 5:6-7). Without Christ, we cannot make genuine changes in how we live. We look at ourselves and think, "I can do this" when what we really need to be saying and believing is, "I can't do this, but God can." Our abilities and goodness aren't a result of our own doing; they are the result of being made in God's image, of Him dwelling within us, and what He did for us at Calvary.
We need to set down our mirror with our pride, and cry out to God for His magnificent and perfect help.
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Philippians 2:3-8
The love of Christ is demonstrated for us throughout all of Scripture. He shows us His love through truth and deed, and calls us to mirror Him, not the world. His deep, inexhaustible, and unwavering love is lavished on us in ways beyond our comprehension. Christ didn't die on the cross because it would do Him good—He did it for our good.
It isn't the doing that shows the love of Christ—it is the motivation that fuels what we do for others. It's the why not the what. If we do simply to receive, we are only growing our selfish hearts. Although the encouragement and applause for self-glorification and fulfillment from the world is enticing, it will not produce godliness.
When we simply follow God's imperative, we are not displaying Christlikeness—we are producing works righteousness. We participate in the doing because this is a tangible way to live out the imperative and show someone that we are invested in them, we value them, that we care about them as an image bearer. We do because we are striving to be like Christ. We do for others because of what Christ did for us (1 John 3:16-18).
Daily, we are given opportunities to show Christlike love, the deep sacrificial love He poured over us on the cross. Every day we are able to display the grace we've been shown when we set ourselves aside and consider others first. When we pause in the parking lot, even though it's raining, and load the disabled person's groceries into their car or give the homeless person a cup of hot coffee, we are showing Christlike love. This unique love is also displayed when we serve our spouse the larger portion of our coveted salmon steak, tell them how much we cherish them, or sit on the floor and play with our kids.
We have endless opportunities to be Christlike to loved ones and strangers.
Being kind to others shouldn't be something that goes viral on social media. It should be so common that instead of being in awe of the person or the deed, we stand awestruck of the Savior.
When we free ourselves from pleasing the world and focusing on ourselves, we are able to rightly focus on discipling and loving others well, relishing in God's grace, sharing and studying His word to grow in relationship with Him.

We promised it to you a while back and we apologize for the delay, but good things come to those who wait and so here it is – the long-awaited saga of the delivery and construction of the ARTC Studio recording booth! If you want to see all the pictures, check out our Flickr page!
To begin, we'd like to thank our longtime recording home Audio Craft for many years of stellar work. We're not done with Audio Craft by a long shot, but the demand for our studio work had grown so great that we really needed a space of our very own.
Here we see the bare room that we'll be constructing in. There was some brief concern that we'd measured incorrectly and that the booth wasn't going to fit in here, but as it turned out all was well.
Notice the stained glass lamp in the corner that one of our multi-talented members made!
The first step was getting it off the truck.
ARTC Executive Producer David Benedict poses here with the pallets still on the truck. You can't really see it here, but the pallets were eight feet long and the truck driver had thought we had a forklift. We're not sure how they arrived at that conclusion, but at least they brought a truck with a lift gate!
David and ARTC Board member Tony Fuller help the truck driver with the load. Discerning viewers will note a problem with the length of the pallet vs the width and depth of the lift gate.
Getting this off the truck safely was a tough job, but the driver really stepped up and …
We did it! And then we had to do it again, because there were two of these pallets. And then we had to carry all the individual boxes upstairs.
And, as you can see, there were a LOT of boxes. Don't worry, folks, all that cardboard got recycled and didn't find its way to the landfill!
Construction: Day 1
Construction took multiple days for a variety of reasons, most of which involved user error. Here we see David Benedict, Daniel Kiernan, and Bob Brown positioning the floor panels.
With the floor down, the next step was to position the walls. Here, Clair Kiernan and Bob Brown assess the situation and determine next steps.
The first major snag of the day. This, ultimately, was what caused us to take multiple days for construction. The instructions said to mount the door frame first, but the screw was stripped when we took delivery. While someone went to get a tool to let us remove it and get a replacement, the rest of us decided to go ahead and put up the other walls. This was a huge mistake, because it turns out that the reason you're supposed to mount the door frame first is because it has a metal bracket that forces it into the proper alignment. The other walls don't, and therefore the entire structure was skewed when we put up the last pieces. It took us time to figure that out, and then more time to loosen all the screws, shift things where they should have been in the first place, and then tighten it all back down again.
Here you can see Tony Fuller and David Benedict putting what they thought were some of the finishing touches on the recording booth. Little did they know that there would be at least three more visits to the studio space before everything would be where it really belonged.
But eventually it all came together! You can see some of the ventilation on the right hand side. The microphones we bought for the studio are super-sensitive, but the ventilation silencing systems on these booths is actually extremely good and you can barely tell the difference!
And of course it's still a work in progress. Here's a preliminary setup, but we've got ideas for how to make ARTC Studio even better and we're looking forward to ramping up production before this month is out!
We'll be concentrating on finishing up some existing projects, but new recordings are coming, too, so stay tuned!

We gather large amounts of data in SEAmBOTH. A very simple goal of the project is combining national datasets into a common one for the Bothnian Bay. Mostly the data is almost identical, and the process is straight forward, but sometimes it's not really compatible, which means we must get creative.
In the data itself, there are a lot of factors to consider. The timeline should be the same and sometimes we might not have the same units in use. In SEAmBoth, we have chosen to use data from 2010-2015, since that time frame we can rely on being available from both countries. It's not too old and the temporal window is big enough.
In addition, the types of the geometry may vary. For example, Finland has the sea lanes as lines (black) and Sweden as polygons (green). The polygons could be transformed into lines, but the process is quite time consuming and the lanes are mainly used as a human pressure indicator. It's a lot easier to transform the Finnish lanes to polygons and combine the two. So that's what we did.
With most of the data we only have to merge it into one layer and even the ones that need work are usually very simple to put together. However, when you gather them all up, they make for a pretty elaborate mesh of human pressures, environmental variables and existing mapping data, in which we'll later use for modeling our end results.

Tallinn, Estonia
Thursday 9 February 2017
The European Curling Championships 2018 (ECC) will take place next year, between 16 and 24 November, at the Tondiraba Ice Hall, in Tallinn, Estonia.
The Estonian Curling Association signed an agreement with the World Curling Federation (WCF) to host the championships, at a special signing ceremony attended by WCF President, Kate Caithness today (Thursday 9 February).
The event is for men's and women's teams from the WCF's European Zone and is divided into A, B and C-Divisions. Traditionally the A and B Divisions are held together in November, with the C-Division earlier in the year, in May. The ECC is a qualification event for the World Curling Championships (WCC) – seven teams, and the host nation, qualify if the next WCC is being held in the European Zone. Eight teams qualify if the next WCC is in the Americas or the Pacific-Asia Zone.
This is the Estonian Curling Association's second time hosting an international curling event, after its inaugural championships in 2015, when they hosted the World Junior Curling Championships.
WCF President, Kate Caithness, said: "We are pleased that the European Curling Championships 2018 will be taking place in Estonia next year. Estonia has great conditions for hosting championships, and has become a strong curling country in recent years.
"The organising committee for the World Juniors in 2015 did a stellar job pulling together these championships and I am looking forward to working with them again as they prepare for one of our flagship events"

Another Lemon Drop Kid winner on Thursday when 2-year-old Break Water Edison convincingly wired race 4 at Belmont for John Kimmel.
In hindsight, it was probably to be expected as jockey Alan Garcia has hit his groove in NY over the past several months. Also, as a $525,000 Ocala March purchase, Break Water Edison was the top-priced horse in the field. The runner-up, Darley's Precursor, brought $500,000 at Fasig-Tipton this past February, so based on the "high-priced purchases" angle alone that should have been the easiest $28.60 exacta ever.
The surprise was 57-1 longshot Western Legend rounding out a generous $547 trifecta! Running without Lasix, with Jorge Chavez up, and for trainer Richard Stoklosa, Western Legend is by El Corredor out of an Affirmed mare.
Love these baby races! Probably what I'm most looking forward to watching at Saratoga. Exactly what Teresa over at Brooklyn Backstretch wrote yesterday: "each entry seems so tantalizingly full of promise, with no bad running lines to sully impressions."
Plus it's fun to see if you can pick out next year's Derby or Oaks winner, or a future superstar (as unlikely as that may be).

Trump delivers hard-edged immigration speech at Ernst's Roast and Ride
Donald Trump delivered a hard-edged speech on immigration Saturday in Des Moines, capping a week of speculation that he's softening his previously tough stance.
"These international gangs of thugs and drug cartels will be — I promise you, from the first day in office, the first thing I'm going to do, the first piece of paper that I'm going to sign is — we're going to get rid of these people, day one, before the wall, before anything," he said to boisterous cheers from a crowd of about 1,800.
Trump headlined U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst's second annual Roast and Ride fundraiser at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. And although he skipped the "ride" portion of the event — a 42-mile, 400-person motorcycle ride through central Iowa — Trump joined a slew of Iowa Republicans for a rallying of the political troops and a family-friendly pork barbecue.
"We will use immigration law to prevent crimes," he said, delivering his remarks off a teleprompter. "And we will not wait until some innocent American has been harmed or killed before taking action. We will move justly, but we will move fast, believe me. And we will move tough."
OBRADOVICH: Trump in Iowa: Clinton 'doesn't look presidential'
The Republican presidential nominee later welcomed to the stage the family of Sarah Root, a 21-year-old Council Bluffs woman who was killed in a vehicle crash caused by an immigrant in the country illegally.
Trump's appearance comes after a week in which he acknowledged a possible "softening" of his immigration stance, talking broadly about approaching the issue in a more "humane manner."
Trump has built his campaign on a promise to build a wall on the southern border of the United States to keep out undocumented immigrants while also calling for the mass deportation of those in the country illegally. He's pledged to unveil his immigration policy over the next week.
"I am with him 1,000 percent on immigration," said Diane Brock of Newton, a retired airline operations manager who echoed the sentiments of many attendees. "The illegal alien criminals have got to go. It is not fair to the people who have been waiting to get into this country legally."
Others said that even if Trump has somewhat softened his stance, they would be unconcerned with a possible reversal in his policy.
"It would be too hard to send everybody back," said Gale Livingston, a retired Ames resident who plans to vote for Trump in November. "He had to soften his stance. It doesn't make me think less of him. In fact, it makes me think more of him."
Trump also took some time to give a rhetorical nod to Iowa's agriculture industry, touching on issues such as the Renewable Fuel Standard, environmental regulations and threats to family farms.
"Family farms are the backbone of this country," he said, promising to end the "EPA intrusion" into family farms.
Trump promised to protect the Renewable Fuel Standard and corn-based ethanol, eliminate burdensome regulations like the Waters of the United States rule ("which is a disaster") and provide tax relief.
"President Obama lied to you about his support for the Renewable Fuel Standard," Trump said. "And you can trust Hillary Clinton far less than you could even Obama."
Barack Obama campaigned in Iowa on his support of the RFS. But his administration's Environmental Protection Agency has rolled back the level of ethanol that must be blended into the nation's gasoline.
Democrats, in turn, criticized the gathering, with Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Andy McGuire saying in a statement: "While other Republicans have distanced themselves from Trump's candidacy and warned of the dangers of his leadership, Iowa Republicans, up and down the ticket, choose to stand with Trump and continue to condone his divisive rhetoric and rationalize his unpredictable behavior."
In advance of the event, the Clinton campaign issued a joint statement from Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Patty Judge and U.S. House candidates Rep. Dave Loebsack, Jim Mowrer and Kim Weaver that said of Trump: "No matter what he says, he can't revise his history of attacking veterans, women, African-Americans, Latinos and Americans with disabilities. This is who Donald Trump is."
ALSO SATURDAY: Ashton Kutcher to Iowans: Clinton is one of us
The Roast and Ride event was intended to boost support and enthusiasm for Iowa Republicans as they enter the final stretch of the election cycle. Trump praised those Iowa Republican representatives who were on hand, including Ernst; U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley; U.S. Reps. Rod Blum, David Young and Steve King; Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.
"A lot of states would like to have that roster, believe me," Trump said.
Last year's inaugural event drew seven Republican presidential contenders to Boone, though Trump was not among them. At the time, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was leading the pack of potential candidates, and Iowans still had nearly eight months to decide whom to caucus for.
Saturday, some Iowans said they were still deciding whether they would vote for Trump.
"As far as his overall politics that he has, I'm pretty on board with that," said Carla Davis, a 64-year-old Altoona resident and a registered nurse. "I would just say it's more personality, demeanor. He's just so rough around the edges that, you know, it scares me to have him sitting by that red button."
Davis said she is a registered Republican and won't vote for Democratic nominee Clinton, but she would consider voting for a third-party candidate over Trump.
This was Trump's fourth Iowa event since accepting the GOP nomination last month in Cleveland, and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, also has made two solo stops.
Up for grabs are Iowa's six electoral votes, with recent polling indicating a too-close-to-call race. A Real Clear Politics rolling average of August polls shows Clinton with a slim advantage of 1.5 percentage points — well within the margin of error.
Full speech: Donald Trump at Ernst's Roast and Ride
Ernst told reporters that if she could give the Trump campaign advice as he courts Iowa voters, it would be to focus on policy issues and Clinton's record.
"Hillary Clinton has given us so much to talk about, really, with the email scandal, her really bad policies overseas," she said. " ... That's not acceptable — to be doing the name-calling back and forth. They need to focus on the issues."
And Trump remained largely on message Saturday, targeting his attacks to Clinton's policies, resorting only once to personal insult to say he didn't think Clinton looked presidential — a remark that was not included in prepared remarks released to the media.
The response from those in the audience was largely favorable.
"I thought his comments were pretty good," said John Nahas, a steelworker and Des Moines resident. "We don't have a country if we don't have a border. Sanctuary cities are ignoring the law. I think he is a just person and he wouldn't ignore the law."
Funds raised at the event will benefit SoldierStrong, a charity for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Last year's event raised about $15,000 for America's Fund.
Des Moines Register reporter Bill Petroski contributed to this report.

Mother's Day is just around the corner, so I want to share with all of you a little bit about my mom and our very unique relationship.
I recently read an article by HuffPost about the mother-daughter relationship and how it is impossible for a mother to be a daughter's best friend because the relationship of a "mom" trumps the relationship of a "best friend".
It got me thinking because my mom and I always refer to each other as best friends. So are we really insulting our mother-daughter relationship by using the term "best friend" which is less than mother?
The Role of 'Mom'
Ever since I was born she was my protector and my guardian, as all mothers are meant to be. She then became the one person, when growing up, that I could tell everything to. Because you see – she never judged me or scolded me when I told her what was going on in my life – she was always just so thankful that I was sharing things with her. And that's how it went for 18 years.
I'd go to her for advice, complain about boys, tell her secrets about my siblings (sorry guys) and tell her my secrets as well. That's when I thought of her as my mom. A very chill mom.
The Role of 'Best Friend'
When I became an adult is when she turned to me. She'd come to me for advice, complain about boys, tell me secrets about her family and even tell me secrets about herself. And I became her protector, her guardian and the one person that she could tell everything to. I never judged her or scolded her because I was just so thankful that she could confide in me the same way I always confided in her. That's when I thought of her as my friend. My best friend.
We were able to become best friends because my mom and I have a deep mutual respect and understanding of one and other. She takes care of me and I take care of her. That's our secret to having a great friendship – the fact that we treat each other as constant equals.
I don't think being best friends with your mom makes your mother-daughter bond less than. I believe it makes it stronger.
Because you can't choose your mom. She is given to you and that is an unconditional love. You can, however, choose your best friend and I choose her every single day.

This has to be the story of the decade (fine, we're less than two weeks into it, but whatever). A Hawaiian Airlines flight was diverted back to Portland and escorted by two F15 military jets. Why? A passenger handed the flight attendant a comment card that he assumed was going to management. Unfortunately it was perceived as threatening.
So, what exactly did the note say? Citing the court's proceedings, Fox 12 of Portland, Ore., says the card – in part – read: "I hope we don't crash and burn," and "What if the plane ripped apart in mid-flight and we plumited (sic) to earth, landed on Gilligan's Island and lived through it."
First of all let me say this in on uncertain terms — this guy is an idiot. He claims it was a "joke" and written to "kill time." Not sure if that helps his case either. The AP says he might have been "angling for frequent flyer miles," which may very well land him in prison for up to 20 years or with a $250,000 fine. Someone needs to teach him that there are easier ways to get compensation from airlines. 😉
At the same time, unless he actually seemed threatening (beyond the note), the reaction seems like a bit of an overkill. Two F15 jets? Seriously? I doubt we would have seen the same reaction pre-9/11.
On a different note, the first officer was talking with the gate agent in the galley before a flight this past weekend, and loudly used the word "hijack" followed by much laughter. The air marshal seated in seat 1B wasn't entertained.

Quick-Hits Friday: The Scripting Guys Respond to a Bunch of Questions (7/30/10)
In this post:
- How Can I Learn to Script?
- Troubleshooting a WMI Issue
- How Can I Get the Microsoft Script Debugger to Work?
- Choosing Between the 64-bit and x86 Versions of Windows PowerShell
How Can I Learn to Script? Hey, Scripting Guy! I am working as a desktop support technician in a private company. I would like to know about windows scripting. I looked at the Learn Scripting site on the Script Center, but I am still confused where to start.
In my office, I have to perform regular tasks such as backup, temporary file clean out, and other things. I am currently using batch files to do some of these things. I am very interested to move to the next level. How can I improve my scripting knowledge?
I am thinking that one day I might pursue one of the system administration certifications on Microsoft technology.
Hello SR,
If you are just beginning to learn scripting, I would suggest you learn Windows PowerShell and not VBScript. This is because Windows PowerShell is a new language that is becoming the standard for command-line administration. VBScript is in maintenance mode and is no longer being developed or updated. The best place to begin is with the Getting Started articles. Also, pay attention to the Scripting Wife articles. Read them in order.
When you have a basic understanding, you should work through the 2010 Scripting Games events in the Beginner division. Note: the Scripting Wife has answers for each of these events. You should work on them before looking at the answer.
If you have questions as you are working, you can seek out assistance from the Official Scripting Guys Forum. We have some great moderators and others who hang out there and love to help people who are attempting to learn scripting. You should also read the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog on a daily basis. We publish a new article on the blog 365 days each year. Reading through the blog is a great way to learn new techniques and to maintain interest in your learning progress.
In addition, you may wish to follow us on Twitter. Many people post questions and answers on Twitter. Search for the #PowerShell tag in your favorite Twitter application. Our Twitter name is ScriptingGuy. Troubleshooting a WMI Issue
Hey, Scripting Guy! I had sent you a message yesterday regarding using WMI and the objwbemLocator.ConnectServer method to then connect to a remote computer and change the description field of one of its local user accounts (although I actually need to be able to change the local user account's password and in some cases disable some local accounts as well). Anyway, I have been going crazy with this all weekend and I am finally beginning to think that this just isn't possible using this method. I am not sure why it would be with GetObject and then SetInfo, but not with objwbemLocator.ConnectServer, etc., and objItem.Put_.
Just for clarity, I am using an input text file of server names, local accounts, and passwords to authenticate with to each machine (some of the machines aren't in any domain and there is no common account in their admin groups that I can leverage), and then I wish to connect to each machine with the required credentials before renaming the administrator account, changing the description, changing the password, and in some cases disabling other local accounts on that computer. I can change the account's Name field because Win32_UserAccount does support a Rename method, but that's it.
So can this be done at all using the objwbemLocator.ConnectServer method, or must I somehow think outside the box and try to come up with some strange workaround? In other words, am I just missing something here? In scanning the web, I see no such examples of anyone doing this. Every example I have ever seen always relies on GetObject (which obviously only utilizes one set of credentials), and where there are no issues changing an object's properties and then using SetInfo to write to WMI. It seems that when using the objwbemLocator.ConnectServer method, I must always SELECT a class that has certain write limitations, if you know what I mean. Anyway, sorry to make this so long, but again, please let me know what I am missing here!
Hello BW,
When you use the ConnectServer method from the SwbemLocator object it returns an SwbemServices object. This is the same object that is often created by using the VBScript GetObject method and implementing a WMI moniker. However, when in your moniker you connect to a specific instance of a WMI class, you are returning an SwbemObject and not a SwbemServices object. The ExecQuery method from the SwbemServices object always returns a SwbemObjectSet. To return an instance of a specific object, use the Get method and not ExecQuery. These objects are detailed on MSDN as well as in my Microsoft Press WMI book. The Win32_Useraccount class is described on MSDN.
The description property is inherited from Cim_ManagedSystemElement as shown in the property editor from WbemTest in the following image, and is therefore read-only. The password itself it not exposed.
There are a number of read/write properties that can be used such as disabled, fullname, lockout, passwordchangable, passwordexpires, and passwordrequired. As you indicated in your email message, there is also the rename method. This is about it as far as the Win32_UserAccount WMI class goes. The best interface to use to do account management is ADSI. It has higher performance and is much more complete in its capabilities. On a large network, the Win32_Useraccount WMI class generates a substantial amount of network traffic.
How Can I Get the Microsoft Script Debugger to Work?
Hey, Scripting Guy! I'm new to scripting and would hope to get and use the Microsoft script debugger. I tried using the debugger from the command prompt using wscript.echo //d, but I received an error message: Access Denied. I'm using Windows Vista and the WSH host. Thanks in advance
Hello TC,
On Windows Vista you probably need to start the command prompt with elevated rights in order to obtain the necessary permissions to run the debugger. To do this, right-click the command prompt and choose Run as administrator.
Choosing Between the 64-Bit and x86 Versions of Windows PowerShell Hey, Scripting Guy! I have a Windows PowerShell script that calls a COM object that works on an x86 computer. I am targeting a remote computer that is x86, but I am attempting to run it from my 64-bit computer. I am getting an error that states that it cannot create the COM object. Am I stuck?
Hello TN,
On a 64-bit version of Windows, you will have two Windows PowerShell shortcuts. One is 64-bit, and the other is designated as x86. Attempt to launch your script from the x86 version of Windows PowerShell and see what happens. The Windows PowerShell application folder from my computer is shown in the following image.
Well, this concludes another edition of Quick-Hits Friday. Join us tomorrow for the Weekend Scripter as we delve into the mysteries of determining if a text file is ASCII or Unicode.
We invite you to follow us on Twitter or Facebook. If you have any questions, send email to us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or post your questions on the Official Scripting Guys Forum. See you tomorrow. Until then, peace.

Over the years there have been some designs that have simply stood head and shoulders above the rest. They've made history and changed the way we live irrevocably.
The Fax Machine
The idea of being able to send letters, diagrams or even pictures via telephone lines was the stuff of Science Fiction. But in 1966 Xerox turned it into reality, and released the Magnafax telecopier.
By the 1970's fax machines (fax abbreviated from facsimile) were in every major office, and by the 1980's we'd forgotten what it was like not to have one.
Sony's Walkman
The Walkman was the antithesis of the boom box. It was a personal music device that fitted in the palm of your hand and made it possible for people to listen to their own personal soundtrack on the move. It was followed by the Discman, and later, Apple's iPod.
The Wassilly Chair
Designed in 1925 by Marcel Brauer for Kandinski's apartment, this chair design changed furniture forever.
The steel and leather construction was revolutionary and it inspired designers around the globe. To this day, it is still in production.
Today, Toblerone is over 100 years, but in its day it was ground breaking. It was the very first designer confectionery and the first patented chocolate.
It's pyramid design made it hugely popular and allowed it to compete with chocolate giants like Nestle and Cadbury.
Apple Mac
Apple's Macintosh computer was a tech game changer. It was almost unimaginable that just over 2 decades later the tech giant would release the iPhone and make playing at Lucky Nugget casino Canada on the go a reality.
The Macintosh computer interface and mouse hit stores in 1984 and changed people's perceptions about the capacities of desktop machines.
The Mini Cooper
The Mini is still in production today, but it looks very different to the original micro car that was developed in the 1950's at the height of the oil crisis.
The Mini was revolutionary for its time, and is considered to be the second most important car in historical importance, pipped to the post only by the Model T Ford.
The Digital Watch
The digital watch was first designed as a film prop for 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Stanley Kubrick film. In 1970 Pulsar created the first prototype and it went into production soon after, becoming a timepiece that was designed for everyone, no matter how limited their budget.
Cordless Phone
Nokia may have cornered the market for handheld portable phones, but the first model was actually released by Benefon.
Browsers and HTML
The Internet is no doubt one of the makings of the modern world, but before we all had access to the Internet, we had to have someone who pioneered the web browser.
Netscape was the company that was behind this, but it needed the HyperText Mark-Up Language or HTML created by Tim Berners Lee's to make web browsers and the Internet accessible to the general public.

It's one thing to tell consumers about the immediacy of a cellular network. It's another thing to show it.
Sprint today will begin rolling out the online component of its recently launched "Now Network" campaign with customized takeovers of several popular Internet sites that illustrate the things that are occurring on Sprint's network in real time. Sprint will begin by taking over Yahoo's home page today, and will expand the buy to include AOL, ESPN.com, WSJ.com, People.com, CNT and YouTube during the week.
"We're trying to show the Now Network's relevance," Candice Wolken, Sprint's advertising manager, tells Marketing Daily. "We worked with many of the sites to determine what would go on them."
The online ads, created by Omnicom's Goodby Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco, will be tailored to each of the sites and will encourage consumers to interact with the information on those sites. On YouTube, for instance, the takeover will feature a clock in which users (who have filmed themselves holding up a pre-assigned number) will become a real-time clock.
"It's one thing to talk in the abstract of the network. It's another to show it," Wolken says. "It also puts the network in a more positive light. A lot of the [industry] conversation is negative -- about things such as dropped calls. This is a more positive viewpoint."
Much of Sprint's focus for this Internet rollout will focus on three specific themes, which Wolken referred to as "passion points" for Sprint customers. Ads for entertainment sites, for instance, will include data about things such as spray tans, movie tickets, the amount of plastic surgeries happening at any given moment and the number of videos uploaded on Sprint's network. Financial and news sites will include a Wall Street ticker, facts about money being spent online and the number of people checking stocks on Sprint phones. The final theme -- sports -- will include information such as weather updates and the cost of hot dogs at sites where the Sprint Nextel NASCAR races are being held.
"The campaign is demonstrating the relevance with Sprint being the now network," Wolken says. "It positions us as a technology leader."
The Internet campaign is part of an initiative that Sprint launched earlier this month. The ads, which brought to life a successful viral widget the company had developed, are themed "What's happening Now?" and bring viewers esoteric facts such as how many tons of eggs are being laid, how many people are researching restaurants and how many people are sending e-mails "right now" (for example, as the ad is airing).
This summer, Sprint will roll out similar real-time updates on out-of-home digital signage boards, Wolken says.

2017 has not been a friendly year to Liverpool Football Club. After a dazzling start to the season, the fire that was once burning under the Reds has cooled off significantly. Since the new year, the Merseyside club has won one match out of twelve total matches across all competitions. They've seen themselves knocked out of both the FA Cup and EFL Cup, and now in a race to finish in the top four to reach the elusive Champions League. While there are many concerns on what has caused this drop off, one thing is to be certain; Jurgen Klopp has only 78 matches under this legendary club.
To better understand what has happened, one needs to look at what Klopp has done to fix the issues he inherited from his predecessor, Brendan Rodgers.
At Borussia Dortmund, Klopp had arguably one of the top true strikers in the world in Polish international, Robert Lewandowski. While Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi have done well while leading the line, Daniel Sturridge has left much to be desired.
The English international has not been able to regain the form of his magical 2013-2014 season in which he netted 21 times for the Reds. With only two goals this season and interest from abroad, it is likely Sturridge's time is drawing to its inevitable conclusion. This is a area that requires some major attention in the coming transfer window. With 29 goals amassed between Phillipe Coutinho, Firmino, Origi, and summer signing Said Mane, scoring goals hasn't been the problem for Liverpool. Adding a true number nine, though, would alleviate these playmakers to not be concerned with scoring goals and allow them to become more fluid in their passes and runs, which they were able to enjoy more so earlier on in this campaign.
Giving these players adequate depth is also necessary for the success of this football club. While Mane was away representing Senegal at AFCON, Liverpool's inability to replace the effectiveness of the newly signed wingers presence caused many issues atop their attack. During the transfer window there had been links to many wingers, including Julian Brandt of Bayer Leverkusen, Christian Pulisic of Borrusia Dortmund, and Quincy Promes of Spartak Moscow. Following suit to his previous January windows, Klopp held off on spending big money and risking overpaying for a player. Though, to reach the quality of the top teams in Europe, more quality needs to be added. This is no slight to up and coming players on the Liverpool roster such as Ovie Ejaria, Sheyi Ojo, and Ben Woodburn, but they are not quite ready to face the competition of the European giants.
Another area in which needs attention is the back line. Klopp has begun his transformation with a brilliant piece of business in signing Joel Matip on a free transfer. Paired alongside a rejuvenated Dejan Lovren, the two have been fairly successful this campaign. Nathaniel Clyne remains a stalwart on the right side of the defense, but after that is where this head down hill.
With no true left back, as it would seem Klopp has lost faith in Alberto Moreno, James Milner has been the makeshift fullback. While offensively Milner has been great, scoring seven goals, his defensive prowess has been shaky at best. Alongside moving Milner, Klopp has also been using Lucas Leiva at center back.
While getting the most out of what he has to work with, Klopp must address the defensive issues that have plagued this squad since the start of the new year. Solving the impasse between Klopp and current Crystal Palace loanee, French defender Mamadou Sahko, could prove to be the best in-house move. During the run to the Europa League Final last season, Sahko showed time and time again his ability as Liverpool's best defender, but after a series of off the field distractions, a fallout with Klopp ensued a freeze from the club and his eventual loaning. Should Sahko come back, the need for another strong defender to pair with Matip or Lovren would be alleviated.
Making a decision on who is to remain between the sticks for the Reds has also been a sore spot. Klopp purchased 23 year old Loris Karius this summer to compete with Belgian Simon Mignolet, and with twelve weeks left there is still no clear winner. Karius has made ten starts while Mignolet has made 16. Both have had good stretches, but both have had abysmal performances which has led to the back and forth between them. Mignolet's time at Liverpool may be drawing to a close as Klopp was rumored to be in the market for a more regular starter in the net until Karius can assume the post.
Since Jurgen has taken over, Liverpool has been headed in the right direction. Solidifying the attack with Saido Mane, having a reemergence in the midfield, making the shrewd move to bring Matip on a free transfer, and signing Karius to be the future in goal, Klopp's system has been implemented. Fans need to remember though that for the most part, Klopp is still working with a predominantly Brendan Rodger's influenced side. With the coming window, more pieces will be added to this squad and, given time, it is not too far of a reach to see Liverpool reach the grasp of European elite once again. Liverpool.

Summer Jobs Change Students' Perspectives
Everything we do requires money. Going to the store, biking, eating, etc. all require us to spend some money.
We depend on our jobs to support all of the spending we do.
Usually a job is an adult's concern, but at Dimond High there many kids who are planning on getting jobs this summer.
Dimond Sophomore Marvin Ko has a band trip that he wants to go to, but he needs to have $2,000 for the trip. He decided that he needed a job.
Ko said, "I have a Dimond band trip that I want to go to. The trip is to New York, and that is why it will cost about $2,000.
"I decided that this summer I would get a job at Boba Tree. I know the owner there, so it will be really nice working there."
Ko added, "I need to work for about two months in order to make enough money for my trip, and after those two months, I will probably drop the job."
Every student has their own reason for getting a job, but they all have something in common. They all need some money.
Ko needs it for a band trip, and Dimond Sophomore Elijah White needs it for future college expenses.
White said, "I mostly plan on working in retail so most likely somewhere in the mall or even a grocery store. I plan on keeping the job until I'm off to college.
"I need a job so that I can be less dependent on my parents, and it teaches more responsibility."
On the other hand, there are students like me who work for their parents' business. My father owns a business that I have run for two summers now, and this summer will be the third.
My job requires me to all sorts of work, including filing papers, electronically recording information and much more. I work in the summer in order to help support my family and not be a burden to them.
Summer jobs teach kids numerous things, but the most important lesson to learn from a summer job is how to appreciate everything one has in life. Most kids nowadays don't value anything and take most things for granted.
By getting a summer job, kids start to realize how difficult it is to make money and how it takes a lot of hard work to live the life they live.
Dimond Sophomore Eve Kedem is also looking for a summer job, and she thinks that it will be a good step in preparing for the future.
Kedem said, "I want to work to gain experience for when I'm on my own as an adult. Also, I'm super broke and want to be able to buy the things I need and want without having to bother my parents.
"I would probably learn how to handle people and gain patience from working with them all day."
A summer job helps students socially and economically, and also, there is almost no negative side to getting a job. The only negative side to it would be the amount of time it takes out of their lives.
This is should not be a huge concern as most students waste their time playing games or doing something that is not helpful at all. They don't only get away from things like gaming, but they also get to see what life really is about and how important school is.
Some students will start to realize that without school, they won't be able to live even close to the life they want to live with $160 airpods and an Iphone X that's more than $1,000. They will hopefully start to pay more attention to their grades after working.
Something as simple as a summer job can determine a high school student's future career as it does change a student's perspective to life after working for such a small amount of money and realizing how hard it is to make that money.

Mala Mahadevan explains the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, with two parts up so far. First, her data set:
Below is the script to create the table and dataset I used. This is just test data and not copied from anywhere.
Second, an introduction to the test itself and solutions in R and T-SQL:
This test is an extension of the Chi Square test I blogged of earlier. This is applied when we have to compare two groups over several levels and comparison may involve a third variable.
Let us consider a cohort study as an example – we have two medications A and B to treat asthma. We test them on a randomly selected batch of 200 people. Half of them receive drug A and half of them receive drug B. Some of them in either half develop asthma and some have it under control. The data set I have used can be found here. The summarized results are as below.
This series is not yet complete, so stay tuned.

BOSTON Last month, Marcia Deihl, a songwriter and community activist out for a bike ride on the first warm day after a brutal winter, was struck and killed by a dump truck outside a Whole Foods in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A white "ghost bike" now memorializes her death.
Aspiring photojournalist Christopher Weigl, just 23, was also killed in a bike accident: Wearing a helmet, and traveling in the bike lane near Boston University, Weigl collided with a 16-wheel tractor trailer when the truck made a wide right turn in the winter of 2012.
