In our rapidly modernising world, almost all human activities are constantly being improved, adapted and advanced. New applications for the huge technological developments that humanity has experienced over the last half century are always being established. One area which has seen greater attention more recently, but has yet to be significantly advanced for the modern age, is payment systems.
Our global financial systems are reliant on ageing technology, such as Chip & Pin cards and centralised, bank controlled systems which are prone to error. Combined with multiple global financial crisis', this redundant technology guided innovation in the form of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
Technology giants such as Apple and Google have also shown interest in the possibilities for financial innovation, with both enthusiastically pursuing related projects. Apple Pay has now officially launched in the UK, allowing iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch users to make contact-less payments using their devices.
First released in October 2014 as part of the iOS 8.1 update, the Apple Pay system enables contact-less payments via embedded NFC (near-field communication) chips included in both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
The large push from Apple to develop the Apple Pay system is symbolic of the growing amount of interest into financial technology, as a sector which still has significant potential for innovation.
Despite offering some extra convenient features for users as they attempt to "forever change the way all of us buy things" according to CEO Tim Cook, the system has suffered from a number of setbacks which are difficult barriers to Apple Pay becoming yet another Apple success story.
Since its launch, Apple Pay has experienced a number of issues with payment delays, double charges and fraud. Many users have had problems with merchants being totally unprepared for the new systems, which essentially takes up the time that should have been saved by using Apple Pay!
Users have also experienced issues when using Apple Pay on the London Underground since the UK launch, as many customers have been subject to doubled charges due to them owning both an iPhone 6 and Apple Watch; if both devices are detected then two default tickets may wind up being purchased without the users knowledge. Errors such as this could have a significant effect on uptake of the new systems and are likely to further limit the companies plans to revolutionise payments.
Bitcoin and block chain technology have also experienced a surge of interest, as potential applications for the innovative distributed ledger system are investigated by multinational banks and fi- nancial services organisations alike. Both Bitcoin and Apple Pay bring much needed modernisation to payment systems, by implementing innovative technologies to revolutionise the way we transfer value between us.
Mobile payment systems are likely to become more and more important as our online lives takeover the long established paradigms of cash and card transactions. The technology for contact-less payments has been functional for some time now, as NFC chips included on bank cards allow users to pay by simply tapping their card on the POS Terminal, cutting out the need to enter pin numbers for smaller transactions.
Bitcoin can also provide a means of contactless payment, through the use of a growing number of powerful mobile wallets which utilise QR codes to save time lost entering long wallet addresses character by character. The long existing norm of using physical cash for smaller purchases and credit cards for larger transactions, has been revolutionised by modern financial systems.
The ease of use of credit and debit cards mean that nowadays many of us will rarely use paper money, Apple Pay will attempt to remove the need for the physical card, instead opting to encapsulate the information it carries into the 'Passbook' app.
The app can then transmit the necessary details securely to the merchant via the NFC chip included in compatible devices. With the expansion of online shopping, the need to use physical cash and cards will be even less significant; the potential for innovation is huge and there is a significant opportunity to revolutionise payments. Bitcoin provides a more concrete way of achieving this; it's architecture mean that double payments are incredibly unlikely without the user explicitly choosing to send funds twice.
The decentralised nature of the cryptocurrency can also provide users with a level of security which is simply unmatched by Apple Pay; despite reassurances that credit card details are not actually transmitted to the merchant, but tokenised such that the relevant account can be charged without transmission of any irrelevant information, Apple Pay still provides a point wherein account/card details are transmitted via a wireless signal.
The cryptographic form taken by Bitcoin means that the computational power required to tamper with transactions effectively renders it an impossibility. Of course, Apple Pay is an interesting application of established NFC technology to digitise our credit cards, whereas Bitcoin is a completely new way of transferring value from one person to another.
Apple Pay isn't the only "mainstream" financial innovation; their are rafts of companies, large and small, which are pitching their vision for the future of money. Apps such as Venmo, as well as the numerous digital offerings from existing banking and financial powers, are significant of the huge focus on payment innovation.
The block chain utilised in Bitcoin is an incredibly innovative methodology to track value in a way that is secure, straightforward and decentralised. It truly has the potential to revolutionise the way we all buy things; the Bitcoin network and the growing number of intermediaries providing users access to it, provide a way to send money internationally for next to nothing – with significantly lower fees than existing options available.
This is great news for merchants, as usually they wind up paying for the privilege of charging customers and Bitcoin has the power to eliminate this drain on profits. Ultimately this means savings for consumers too; perhaps there is less interest in Bitcoin from "mainstream" business for these reasons? The alternative currency paradigm it provides removes a great deal of the profitability from payment processing, or at the very least makes it highly competitive

Beware the Siren Call of Gold
The recent dip in gold prices isn't necessarily a signal to load up on it.
This year alone, gold has gained more than 30% in value, touching a record $1,221 per ounce last week before dipping to around $1,140 recently. Gains over the past year have been driven partly by fears of high inflation, the massive buying from the Indian and Chinese central banks and also numerous gold bulls and speculators around the world who believe the gold price is headed even higher....

If you need to support <IE9 (sigh) then check this SO question regarding indexOf in IE.
(lodash) array = ['a', 'b', 'c']; _.pull(array, 'a') // array => ['b', 'c']; See also stackoverflow.com/questions/5767325/…
filter method can do what you want.
You can use delete but it will not rearange the index instead it will set this slot to 'undefined × 1'. For example: var list = [1,2,3,4,5,6] -> delete list[1] -> [1, undefined × 1, 3, 4, 5, 6].
Here a performance benchmark of the two major possibilities: jsben.ch/#/b4Ume
Dangerous! If you are working with dynamic values (add and remove dynamic values from array) and value is not exist in array (the index become -1) the code above will remove the last element of the array.
AlexandreWiechersVaz Of course it preserves order, if it didn't then it would be absolutely worthless
You can overcome the IE browser support problem by including the code given here
AdrianP. array.indexOf(testValue) on empty array will be -1, and if you're testing for that then no splice. Maybe the answer has changed since.
delete is not the correct way to remove an element from an array!
FelixKling It depends, it works if you want to make it so that array.hasOwnProperty(i) returns false and have the element at that position return undefined. But I'll admit that that's not a very common thing to want to do.
delete will not update the length of the array neither really erases the element, only replaces it with the special value undefined.
diosney I don't know what you mean when you say it doesn't really erase the element. Further, it does more than simply replacing the value at that index with undefined: it removes both the index and the value from the array, i.e. after delete array[0], "0" in array will return false.
delete is a good mechanism if you are dealing with named properties var array=[];array['red']=1;array['green']=2;array['blue']=3;delete array['green'];
but, sometimes we want to remove element from original array(non immutable), for example array used in Angular 2 *ngFor directive
Better than the accepted solution because it does not assume only one occurrence of a match and immutability is preferable
Using filter is so much nicer than using splice. Too simple.
filter must be much slower for a big array though?
Super slow method.
It's worth noting that var value will not store the removed value but an array containing the removed value.
delete is not the correct way to remove an element from an array!!
If you want to "empty a slot", use array[index] = undefined;. Using delete will destroy optimisation.
Jakub very good comment because to understand that I lost much time and thought my application code is somehow broken...
sroes it should not be because the loop starts at i = arr.length -1 or i-- making it same as the max index. arr.length is just an initial value for i. i-- will always be truthy (and reducing by 1 at each loop op) until it equals 0 (a falsy value) and the loop will then stop.
Second function is rather inefficient. On every iteration "indexOf" will start search from beginning of array.
AmberdeBlack, on a collection with more than 1 occurrence of item, it's much better to call the filter method instead arr.filter(function (el) { return el !== item }), avoiding the need to mutate the array multiple times. This consumes slightly more memory, but operates much more efficiently, since there's less work that needs to be done.
AlJey, it's available only from IE9+. There is still a chance that it wouldn't work.
This answer worked for me because I needed several items removed but not in any particular order. The backwards progression of the for loop here handles removing items from the array perfectly.
I'm not a big fan of this approach. If you end up using different libraries or frameworks, they can end up conflicting with each other.
This worked as well, I chose to go with the indexOf function in the end though. Thanks for the help!
Bad idea, see this post: stackoverflow.com/questions/948358/array-prototype-problem
If you're doing a for in on an array, you already have a problem.
if you do for in on arrays, you already have bigger problems.
Looks like the 'move' method presented here should work in all browsers, and also avoids creating an extra array; most other solutions here have one or both of these problems. I think this one deserves a lot more votes, even if it doesn't look as "pretty".
I don't know that you need the -1 check (i > -1). Also, I think these functions act more like filter than remove. If you pass row.id === 5, it will result in an array with only id 5, so it is doing the opposite of remove. It would look nice in ES2015: var result = ArrayHelper.remove(myArray, row => row.id === 5);
WhatWouldBeCool this function modify the original array, and return the removed item instead of copying the result to a new array
Just learned by the hard way why it is a good idea to use Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty always ¬¬
Nice solution but I see one problem and that is it creates new array and doesn't do anything to original array.
Mak you are correct. This indeed creates another array. But if you do not want to do this you can overwrite old one with a new one.
Also note, Array.prototype.filter is ECMAScript 5.1 (No IE8)
Do you have a source on that this is faster?
Nice solution. But as you point out, but important to make bald, it does not produce the same result as slice and indexOf since it will remove all occurrences of 1
This answer is nice because it creates a copy of the original array, instead of modifying the original directly.
RolandIllig Except the use of a for in-loop and the fact that the script could stopped earlier, by returning the result from the loop directly. The upvotes are reasonable ;)
This is an excellent approach for small arrays. It works in every browser, uses minimal and intuitive code, and without any extra complex frameworks, shims, or polyfills.
I should also reiterate yckart's comment that for( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) would be a better approach since it preserves the exact indices versus whatever order the browser decides to store the items (with for in). Doing so also lets you get the array index of a value if you need it.
That's not core JS as the OP requested, is it?
some-non-descript-user You are right. But a lot of users like me come here looking for a general answer not just for the OP only.
ChunYang You are absolutely right. I am already using lodash, why not just use it if it saves time.
There is a small typo. Please correct. this.splice(num.indexOf(x), 1); => this.splice(this.indexOf(x), 1);
Please don't augment built-ins (attach functions to Array.prototype) in JavaScript. This is widely regarded as bad practice.
I agree that's not the best thing to do in the world, but in this case how you could pass down it to the function?
You should check the index. If index = -1, splice(-1,1) will remove the last element
up up up up up up uuuuuuuuuuuuup! this is more up to date this should N°1 answer not N°20!!!
This is how I like to do it. Using an arrow function it can be a one-liner. I'm curious about performance. Also worth nothing that this replaces the array. Any code with a reference to the old array will not notice the change.
Note that .filter returns a new array, which is not exactly the same as removing the element from the same array. The benefit of this approach is that you can chain array methods together. eg: [1,2,3].filter(n => n%2).map(n => n*n) === [ 1, 9 ]
Great, if I have 600k elements in array and want to remove first 50k, can you imagine that slowness? This is not solution, there's need for function which just remove elements and returns nothing.
Seraph For that, you'd probably want to use splice or slice.
bjfletcher Thats even better, in process of removal, just allocate 50K elements and throw them somewhere. (with slice 550K elements, but without throwing them from the window).
I'd prefer bjfletcher's answer, which could be as short as items= items.filter(x=>x!=3). Besides, the OP didn't state any requirement for large data set.
Just a note, 1 caveat with this method is the potential for stack overflows. Unless you're working with massive arrays, you shouldn't have an issue.

In 2010, the Oregon Tech Library moved to a new campus-wide content management system. This change, and the popularization of products such as LibGuides and Library a la Carte, inspired Oregon Tech librarians to develop new subject guides. As a means of participating in the new system and of saving money, the library created a subject guide format to be used on the web content management system, Sitefinity. The guide format was designed by a committee with librarian and library staff input, but without assistance from students— the target audience. As a result, the guides that were developed tended to be text heavy and riddled with library jargon that did not make sense to students. In addition, the guides were difficult to edit, resulting in dated content and frequent broken links. While instruction librarians would push relevant guides in their classes, they never caught on among students.
By 2014, Oregon Tech librarians were aware of problems with their subject guides and had begun to consider technology and formatting changes to make the guides more accessible. Two librarians attended usability courses (through Library Juice Academy and Acquia) and decided to employ usability research methods to design a guide format that would better meet student needs.

History and sentiment counts for nothing when a stadium is half empty
Ferguson may back Hampden being retained but the fans and their experiences are more important than a memory of a game from the 1960s. I read with interest the comments from Sir Alex Ferguson and his backing of Hampden Park to remain as the national stadium, sadly for most fans in Scottish football we do not have the privilege to sit in VIP seating nor wined and dined in the hospitality section as the former Manchester United manager receives when he attends a game now.
Ferguson may back calls to remain at Hampden Park through sentimentality and some perceived notion that our footballing history would disappear if we turned our back on the white elephant in Mount Florida.
Speaking to the Daily Record, He said: "This is about more than money. We're talking about leaving your history behind you.
"It's as simple as this, if the SFA move games to Edinburgh they would have to pull Hampden down as there's no chance Queen's Park could keep it going.
"Every brick you take away is a goal, a memory or a shot that hit the post or bar. Hampden is the centre of football.
"As a young player you always hoped to play at Hampden, always wanted to turn out for your country there. I didn't manage that but many people grew up to fulfil that dream.
"The history of Hampden is riddled with fantastic games and that's the point. You're throwing away all that fantastic history, all those memories.
"These are memories people live with, 'Remember that time we went to Hampden?' That finishes. The minute you leave Hampden, that stops.
"In future, kids will never have a memory of Hampden and that's the type of history you are throwing away and I don't think that should happen at all."
As a kid I dreamed of scoring the winning goal in a derby match, in the final minute of a cup final or for Scotland in the World Cup. As a kid growing up in the 1980s, Hampden was a different monster to the one that is there today. Those responsible for the renovation of Hampden in 1999 had the perfect opportunity to rid themselves of the oval bowl design and square it off as most modern stadiums are designed nowadays to improve the atmosphere and the fan experience.
However, sentiment and history got in the way back then and fans are suffering today for that lack of innovation, modernisation and foresight.
The stands running parallel to the pitch have decent views of the pitch, but if you sit behind the goals in the East or West Stand then your experience and view is diminished quite significantly. In fact, my experiences of sitting behind the goals was that the view wasn't worth the cost of a well done Pie let alone the prices the Scottish FA charge for games.
I fully understand that the track running around the pitch was there for athletics and that Hampden is used for other events outwith football, but the decision to remain at or leave Hampden is a football decision and the likes of U2 playing at it or an athletics being held is irrelevant.
History is worthless when you can't sell half the stadium out
If sentimentality and history are the only reasons to remain at Hampden then Ferguson is fighting a losing battle. Clubs across the world and even national teams turn their back on their 'spiritual homes' and the history built up for a plethora of reasons, but more often than not it is about money and modernisation of facilities.
Ferguson waxes lyrical about the history and sentimentality but that counts for nothing when you struggle to sell half the stadium for a game against the likes of Costa Rica etc. Friday's game against Costa Rica saw around 20,000 fans make the journey to the national stadium to watch Scotland play a side that reached the quarter finals in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and are World Cup bound this year - and that isn't the first time it has happened both at club and country level.
If Ferguson gets all teary eyed at the thought of his memories of games disappearing because a concrete breeze blocked stadium is knocked down then he could simply go to the football museum that could be retained. That is why we have football museums in the first place isn't it? To reminisce about the good old days and to retain the history and experiences of past glories etc.
Ferguson's scaremongering is laughable
His claims that Queen's Park would 'definitely die' if Hampden was ditched is as laughable as the Scottish FA's managerial search for Gordon Strachan's replacement.
He claimed: "Queen's Park will definitely die if Scottish football loses Hampden and their contribution to football has been tremendous, not just because they've been part of the game for over 150 years.
"They've also kept a club in the principle of what they believe in, of amateurs playing football for the love of it. That's a fantastic history for any club, to go right through from 1867 playing against Rangers and Celtic and different teams at different times, but always being there – and they're still there."
I'm sorry but can football clubs die? I thought it was only companies that died or so we are told by certain elements.
Queen's Park would not die if Scottish Football ditched Hampden as the national stadium. They could simply move their games to Lesser Hampden and upgrade some of its facilities to cope with the fans that attend their games - numbering a few hundred depending on what opposition they face. After all a club the size of Queen's Park playing at Hampden Park is a fallacy.
The Spiders have an illustrious history and will forever be remembered for their part in shaping Scottish football, but when they play in a near empty 50,000 seater stadium, it must remind their fans as well as officials that they are a club who pull in less crowds than some Junior clubs attract on matchdays.
Lesser Hampden's pitch and facilities is far more fitting for an amateur/part time club the size of Queen's Park. Again it is sentimentality and history that sees the Spiders continue playing at Hampden - with all respect to the club.
Ferguson's comment about the West of Scotland being the heartbeat of the national game is derogatory to the rest of the country as many members of the Tartan Army come from outwith the central belt, and there is a feeling that our game is focused far too heavily in favour of Glasgow because of Celtic and Rangers - which has bred resentment towards the football authorities, clubs and even the media who drool at the feet of the Glasgow sides to keep their dwindling papers alive.
Murrayfield isn't the answer either
Don't take my criticism and dissection of Ferguson's comments as support for moving to Murrayfield as that is not suited for football either and has a larger capacity than Hampden. I would back our games touring around the country based on who would be playing on match days.
Friday's game against Costa Rica could have been played at Easter Road, Tynecastle or Pittodrie - without the need to hand thousands of tickets out to schools to help fill seats. But when a game comes along that is against top level opposition like England, Brazil, Argentina or Germany then the likes of Celtic Park or Ibrox would be more fitting - with the experience and fan experience significantly better than at Hampden.
Far too many people are getting all teary eyed about games from yesteryear when discussing Hampden being retained, not once have they looked at it from the fan viewpoint.
When was the last time a David Tanner or an Alex Ferguson sat with the fans behind the goals? It might be a great view and experience in the plush seats but for those who actually pay into the games Hampden is a breeze block monstrosity that is hindering Scotland more than it benefits us.
Ferguson highlighted the Hibs fans signing Sunshine on Leith at the Scottish Cup Final in 2016 when they beat Rangers, he claims that Hampden made it extra special. I have to disagree, Hibs waiting a century to win the Scottish Cup Final and the way they won it made that experience extra special not the venue - after all it was half empty by the time Hibs lifted the trophy.
If the Scottish FA do decide to retain Hampden in all their 'wisdom' then there must be further redevelopment of the stadium - primarily bringing the stands closer to the pitch, ditching the athletics track and improving on the transportation and other facilities inside and around the ground.
Fans are the life blood of the game, but it seems that retaining memories is more important than the fans [and their experiences] paying through the turnstiles nowadays for at least one person who gets his VIP tickets for free.
Last Ditch Tackle is unashamedly passionate about Scottish football, with a heavy Celtic slant.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Hundreds of Cincinnati cops, firefighters and city support workers received notice that they would be the ones to go if the city doesn't find a budget that allows them to stay.
Lay off notices went out to 66 Cincinnati police officers, 71 firefighters and 64 city support workers on Tuesday.
Cincinnati's spokesperson says that they are beginning to implement the city manager's budget because it has the most lay offs. She went on to explain that the city has to give notice in advance of a lay off and they can't add more once the notice goes out.
The city council has until the end of the month to revise this plan and finalize the budget.
FOP President Kathy Herrell tells FOX19 that those layoffs would go into effect on June 9, 2013 if the city isn't able to present and agree on a budget where some, if not all of the lay offs aren't necessary.
We will keep you updated on this story as it develops.

I teared up when she told the story of the crockpot. I long to respond with grace and love to my little one and husband. I feel like and desire and pray to give over this need to control and fret but it just doesn't seem like I give it to God because I continue on in my own strength. I don't want to either. I am still holding to something and I don't know what. Elisa has the most real and encouraging testimony. thank you for sharing it.
I too long to be grace filled. I have embarked on challenges to stop losing my temper and yelling over trivial things. I fail each time. I often wonder when I die what people will describe me as… As a mother and wife. I long to be cleansed.
This episode really spoke to me and I am just still mulling it over. Do you have transcripts available? I'm hoping to spend some quiet time reflecting on this episode and some other teachings that are speaking to my heart and would love to be able to have a written copy of this if it's available.

Get urgent $ 700 my-pay-usa.com">loan me pay Jacksonville, FL bad credit ok Get $700 tonight fast wire transfer. You can also apply urgent $ 150 myfastwire.org">www loanmepay San Francisco California no checking account .
You have possibly heard of payday loans, but you aren't sure if they are good for you. These firms supply simple-expression personal loans to individuals who are using a tough time in financial terms. Sounds excellent, correct? It can be if you locate out everything you need to know before you apply for one. Here are some ideas to assist you with one of these financial loans.
You will never know who is on the other side of your computer, so you need to be very careful when acquiring a payday advance. Seek out info on the site which can be used get in touch with the lender. When they can not be achieved, you should not believe in the corporation whatsoever.
It is important never to use online payday loans to purchase deluxe goods, for example TV's or vacations. They may be finest applied in cases where there is an emergency, or possibly a costs you can not shell out on time. Should you need funds for luxury things, it is far better to consider a loan through your lender, or a reduced-fascination credit card. The attention charged on this kind of credit history will be under a pay day loan.
An effective suggestion for people who often use online payday loans is to obtain some type of credit history or finances therapy. Pay day loans ought to only be useful for unexpected urgent matters and should never be used. Recognize that you are currently paying out a good deal in interest service fees when you use them typically.
Before taking out that payday loan, be sure to have no other options available to you. Payday cash loans can cost you plenty in service fees, so every other substitute can be quite a much better option for your general financial circumstances. Turn to your mates, family members and even your financial institution and lending institution to determine if there are some other probable selections you possibly can make.
Ensure that any payday loan firm that you just plan on obtaining a financial loan from is signed up using the Better Organization Bureau. This is an excellent concept simply because you will understand that you will be getting through a legitimate financial institution and not some scammer having a bogus enterprise away from his flat.
In case you are considering that you have to go into default with a pay day loan, reconsider. The money businesses accumulate a great deal of information of your stuff about stuff like your company, as well as your street address. They will harass you continually before you receive the bank loan repaid. It is best to obtain from family members, offer stuff, or do whatever else it takes to simply pay the personal loan off, and move on.
Repay the complete bank loan as soon as you can. You might get a thanks time, and seriously consider that date. The earlier you spend again the loan completely, the earlier your purchase using the pay day loan clients are full. That will save you cash in the long run.
Feel very carefully about what amount of cash you want. It is appealing to acquire a personal loan for a lot more than you want, but the more money you ask for, the higher the rates of interest will likely be. Not just, that, however, some firms may only crystal clear you to get a certain amount. Consider the most affordable amount you will need.
In case you are considering a payday advance, you must request other folks to acquire dollars very first. A payday loan's interest is so higher, that when you stored the loan out for the season, you would wind up spending 4 times what you were actually loaned to the organization, so avoid online payday loans without exception.
Contact about and learn rates and costs. Most payday loan businesses have very similar costs and rates of interest, although not all. You could possibly help save 10 or 20 $ $ $ $ on your own financial loan if one organization provides a reduce interest. In the event you often get these loans, the financial savings will prove to add up.
If you are planning via critical financial issues, then payday loans will not be a great choice to suit your needs. This kind of bank loan is just for people people that, have sustained a sudden cost that needs to be paid off right away. People that make an application for these financial loans ought to, have the capacity to pay out them off within 2 weeks. This is the time that a majority of pay day loan terms will expire.
While you should never use pay day loans being a standard every month, they can be of great convenience to you personally when you are in a restricted place. Developing a continuous paycheck is essential, but this is usually a good way to shell out an immediate expense if you fail to delay until you happen to be compensated!

we have 2 home visits today for R & P - one with the boys' social worker and one with our social worker. i have to say that i'm probably more nervous about today's visit with the boys' worker than i've ever been for a home visit before, and i can't really explain it. i'm not sure if it's just me being overly fearful and anxious, or if the Lord is trying to prepare my heart for some bad news...

Oh Lesli, I'm so sorry you're goign through all this. I will certainly pray for your visit today and for the truth to come out and for the well being of both you guys and the boys. I can't imagine how hard this journey has been.

I have commented on your blog only one other time but I read your updates with great excitement (for your new baby) and great hopes (for R and P and their situation).
I am sad to read all of this today. I am sad for you, sad for them and really sad for her, too. What a loss she has in this life to not know the love of her Father and to not be able to give that kind of love to her own children and to herself. My heart swells at your big heart-for giving these boys as much stability and love and that soft place to land that you can. I don't know what this world would be like without people like you and Ryan. I really hope that the meetings go well today...better than expected. And I'll be in prayer with you about their mom and the possiblity of a reunion. But God is here and He's at work in this situation...just hold tight to that. And as for little P...may he grow up knowing the love you all have for him and may his momma get it together!!

What a heart breaking post... I feel for all of you. I can't imagine being in your situation and will pray for God's intervention. I think it is amazing that you have opened your hearts and home to R and P. I pray that God will bless you all. I will also pray that their mother will straighten up her act and put them first in her life rather than being selfish the way she apparently has been in the past. Sending hugs to you,

Hello! I will be praying for your family, since it seems like this is a bit of a rough time! I just wanted to let you know, that I am encouraged by your blog! My husband and I adopted our girls form Ethiopia last September, and are currently in the process of becoming foster parents! Love that you have the same heart...not sure how you got there, but it is so cool to see God work through His people, to care for His children!!

Composting Begins at BayCrest Towers
|October 30, 2011
|Posted by jamie under Buildings
Comments off
This past Wednesday, the San Francisco Department of the Environment set up a table at BayCrest Towers and handed residents their own 3 gallon compost buckets for their units (pictured below).
BayCrest is a 288-unit condominium mid-rise building built in 1991 on 201 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
Not wanting to stink up my little studio condo, I bought a box of the suggested Natur-Bag compostable food scrap bags at Cole Fox Hardware on 4th Street in the Yerba Buena neighborhood for $3.99 (20% off sale this week).
We started off with a relatively small container for compost at BayCrest Towers. It will be interesting to see how well used the compost container becomes. Since many of the units are small studios with an itty, bitty galley kitchen, I'd guess that many folks dine about town rather than cook at home (thus not creating much in the way of food scraps).

What does my child do online?
The most effective way to understand your child's online behaviour is simply through asking. Start an open and relaxed conversation about the following:
- What websites and mobile apps they like using and why;
- Who they speak to most frequently, and the things they talk about and share;
- How they make online friends;
- If there is anyone they speak to online that they have never met in person.
Stay informed
Online safety isn't achieved through a one-off conversation. It requires you to keep up to date with how your child uses the internet and the dangers they may face.
Know the risks: In order to set appropriate boundaries for online behaviour, you must be aware of the potential dangers your child may face online.
Get tech savvy: Ask your child to show you how to use their favourite sites and apps. They will like being an authority, so allow them to lead the discussion. This will give you critical insight into their behaviour and highlight any potential concerns.
Read the literature: Changes to popular website and apps, especially those that could affect child safety are often covered in mainstream media. Take an interest in what is going on, and how your child may be affected.
Get involved
Show an interest in what your child does online, and encourage them to use engaging educational websites. Ask them to show you anything interesting they have discovered, and try to do online activities together where possible.
Monitor behaviour
Keep the use of internet centralised. Although this may be an unrealistic goal with teenagers, primary school children should be monitored very closely through restricting their internet use to a family room where they can be supervised. But please be aware that if your child has a smart phone they will be able to access websites unsupervised.
They are also likely to use the internet when they are visiting friends or at school. It is therefore important that you follow our preventative methods in how to protect your child online.
