James Mickens offers his timeless insights for free, because he loves you and he wants you to succeed. Please enjoy the undeniable masterpieces which are collected below.
Recent: I received tenure in April 2019! See my announcement here.
Recent: Watch my keynote from USENIX Security 2018 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajGX7odA87k), in which I describe why machine learning is a bad idea. However, if Terminator robots become real at some point in the future, always remember that I have been pro-AI from the beginning, despite my history of presentations with titles like "The Best Robot Is A Non-sentient Toaster" and "I Am Disturbed That IBM Watson Refuses To Make Me Toast."
USENIX Articles
Danger. Adventure. Cryptic error messages. These are some of the things that inspired me to become a computer scientist. I've been a legendary hacker for 98% of my life, but there was a brief period when I did not possess the sum totality of human knowledge. In those formative days, I made mistakes, just like you. I wandered the streets, coding for cheap thrills, dereferencing NULL pointers in front of the police and daring them to arrest me. I used exponential running time algorithms when linear alternatives existed, because you can still raise venture capital for an app that only does half of what it should do before it crashes and wedges your entire phone. I proved that P equals NP, and then I gave the proof to an extra from "Blade Runner" in exchange for what I later discovered was not, in fact, a lock of Nicolas Cage's hair. I used object-oriented programming languages but only called static methods because abstraction is oppression and only The Man uses virtual function tables. I've lived a thousand lives, and I have the carpal tunnel syndrome to prove it.
When USENIX asked me to write about my experiences as a computer scientist, I immediately accepted the opportunity to bemoan the state of the world and settle old grudges with ancient enemies. I wrote six articles for USENIX, and these articles collectively form a breathtaking magnum opus on science, philosophy, and the reasons why JavaScript is horrible. Like a petty, sarcastic version of Neil deGrasse Tyson, I will explain the universe to you. Let's science together, for America and for the children.
The Saddest Moment: Using linear algebra and a shot-by-shot analysis of "Pulp Fiction," I prove that any distributed system will be broken 93% of the time. In the remaining 7% of the time, the system will respond to your requests, but it will hang out at skateboard parks and listen to disreputable music.
A Hornet's Nest: Many people say that mobile devices are the future. Apparently, the future is composed of devices that are shaped like optimally droppable objects, and whose sole purpose is to hold a charge for 17 minutes before transforming into a cellphone-sized pocket stone.
The Slow Winter: It's difficult to make transistors any smaller because nature hates us and quantum mechanics are stealing our voltage. Perhaps we should return to the abacus; sometimes, the old ways are the best ways.
The Night Watch: Even as we speak, systems programmers are doing pointer arithmetic so that children and artists can pretend that their x86 chips do not expose an architecture designed by Sauron.
This World Of Ours: Wherein it is revealed that 1024-bit keys cannot prevent people from sending their credit card numbers to Nigerian princes. (I think that 1025-bit keys might solve the problem, but nobody listens to my common-sense advice.)
Conference Presentations
Title: "Computers are a Sadness, I am the Cure"
Venue: Monitorama 2014
Abstract: Young people often come up to me and say that "the cloud is the future." This is proof that young people are idiots. In this talk, I also describe why the middle aged people who built the cloud are idiots. I don't say anything bad about old people, mainly because I love their charming stories and their delightful insistence that ATM machines were created by the Devil.
Video link: https://vimeo.com/95066828
Title: "Life is Terrible: Let's Talk About the Web"
Venue: Oredev 2014
Video link: https://vimeo.com/111122950
Title: "Not Even Close: The State of Computer Security"
Venue: NDC Oslo 2015
Abstract: In this bleak, relentlessly morbid talk, James Mickens will describe why making computers secure is an intrinsically impossible task. He will explain why no programming language makes it easy to write secure code. He will then discuss why cloud computing is a black hole for privacy, and only useful for people who want to fill your machine with ads, viruses, or viruses that masquerade as ads. At this point in the talk, an audience member may suggest that Bitcoins can make things better. Mickens will laugh at this audience member and then explain why trusting the Bitcoin infrastructure is like asking Dracula to become a vegan. Mickens will conclude by describing why true love is a joke and why we are all destined to die alone and tormented. The first ten attendees will get balloon animals, and/or an unconvincing explanation about why Mickens intended to (but did not) bring balloon animals. Mickens will then flee on horseback while shouting "The Prince of Lies escapes again!"
Video link: https://vimeo.com/135347162
Title: "It Was Never Going to Work, So Let's Have Some Tea"
Venue: USENIX LISA 2015
Abstract: It's difficult to administer large systems. In this talk, Mickens will argue that we should just give up. Instead of asking large systems to do anything at all, we should focus on less quixotic goals like turning lead into gold, or stopping Pokémon from having delightfully idiosyncratic magic abilities. Using case studies involving popular systems for version control and automatic OS updates, James Mickens will gradually make himself more and more depressed, and then he will tearfully answer questions in a way that makes everybody feel awkward. Mickens will then sign copies of his book. Note that Mickens has not written a book.
Video link: https://vimeo.com/146524997
Title: "Life As A Developer: My Code Does Not Work Because I Am A Victim Of Complex Societal Factors That Are Beyond My Control"
Venue: NDC Sydney 2016
Abstract: "What are the best practices for shipping high-quality software?" This question is an example of a question that I will not answer in my talk. Instead, I will describe why any software project that contains more than 10 lines of code is guaranteed to fail. Using my fragmentary knowledge of the laws of thermodynamics, I will explain why code is like a proton that must ultimately turn into a crystal or, uh, whatever it is that thermodynamics says will happen. I will demonstrate how unit tests, functional programming, and UML diagrams fail to address the primary source of software failure (namely, that software is an inherently bad idea because our brains evolved to hunt giant sloths with primitive stone tools, and MongoDB only partially resembles a giant sloth). I will conclude the talk by luring a group of agile programming experts into a large cardboard box using a collection of buzzwords like "evolutionary development" and "cross-functional team;" once captured, they will be forced to implement obscene, poorly-specified COBOL algorithms as I laugh maniacally and disable my compiler warnings.
Video link: https://vimeo.com/180568023
Title: "Q: Why Do Keynote Speakers Keep Suggesting That Improving Security Is Possible?
A: Because Keynote Speakers Make Bad Life Decisions and Are Poor Role Models"
Venue: USENIX Security 2018
Abstract: Some people enter the technology industry to build newer, more exciting kinds of technology as quickly as possible. My keynote will savage these people and will burn important professional bridges, likely forcing me to join a monastery or another penance-focused organization. In my keynote, I will explain why the proliferation of ubiquitous technology is good in the same sense that ubiquitous Venus weather would be good, i.e., not good at all. Using case studies involving machine learning and other hastily-executed figments of Silicon Valley's imagination, I will explain why computer security (and larger notions of ethical computing) are difficult to achieve if developers insist on literally not questioning anything that they do since even brief introspection would reduce the frequency of git commits. At some point, my microphone will be cut off, possibly by hotel management, but possibly by myself, because microphones are technology and we need to reclaim the stark purity that emerges from amplifying our voices using rams' horns and sheets of papyrus rolled into cone shapes. I will explain why papyrus cones are not vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks, and then I will conclude by observing that my new start-up papyr.us is looking for talented full-stack developers who are comfortable executing computational tasks on an abacus or several nearby sticks.

Reddit AMA
On January 19, 2015, I did a Reddit AMA ("Ask Me Anything"). I had a fun time, and I managed to escape without causing any international incidents. [If anybody asks you where I was when Argentina briefly declared war on Papua New Guinea, I WAS AT YOUR HOUSE.]

|Assistant Coach
Coach Tom Palkowski announced that Kristi King will join his coaching staff for Tommie Women's Hockey.
"Kristi King comes here with many high praises from former coaches and players," Palkowski said. "She will bring a lot of energy, character and knowledge of the game to our program. I'm looking forward to having her meet the team and get the season going."
King brings an impressive resume in playing and coaching hockey.
King played six years on Stillwater High's varsity hockey team (seventh grade through senior year) and helped the Ponies win two state championships and one post a state runner-up finish. She was captain of both her hockey and softball teams there.
She was selected to attend USA Player Development Camps in both St. Cloud and Rochester, N.Y., and was also a prospect for the USA U-18 National team. King went on to play Division I college hockey at the University of Maine and another season at Bemidji State University before her career was cut short.
King has coached the last six seasons at Centennial High, including the last five as girls' head coach with three conference titles and a 92-42-6 record. She guided the 2017-18 Cougars to the program's first section title in 10 years en route to a berth in the state championship game. Centennial lost 2-1 to Edina in the finals.
King has also worked at USA National Camps in recent years and is a certified Level 4 USA Hockey coach. She also works at 3M Corporation.

Well-managed sponsored ad campaigns are the ideal tool to get customers to a website in a quick and efficient way. Thanks to the traffic obtained through paid advertising, qualified users –i.e. your prospective customers– will find the advertised website and discover the products and services it offers.
It's important to keep in mind that sponsored link campaigns complement an SEO strategy, attracting users who are looking for products and services related to the ones we're offering. It enables us to orient ads to the different combinations of search queries holding a close relation to a business.
This way, the company advertising its services or products will be visible to users carrying out search requests any hour of the day and any day of the year, allowing you to be present in the results next to your competitors.
Moreover, online advertising campaigns are usually highly effective, because present-day platforms allow for a very precise segmentation of the target audience, which helps us to obtain clicks from potential customers interested in our products or services.
The advantages of a sponsored ad campaign
Guarantee of our work
These kinds of campaigns usually prove to be very effective, because advertising platforms allow us to address a very specific target audience, which enables us to focus on our prospective customers.
Despite the many advantages of this strategy, many companies do not obtain the expected profitability out of them, often due to a poor management of the campaign. Creating and efficiently monitoring a sponsored ad campaign in search engines is a task requiring lots of time and experience.
Our goal is to maximise your return on investment. We extract the maximum profitability from the money invested by our client. We improve the conversion rates of the ads, and the conversion rates of the landing pages, resulting in a higher number of customers. The sum of profits obtained through them is higher than the total investment.

I truly believe I'm not the only one who didn't use online websites for dating before because I didn't even know about their existence. Well, I'm pretty sure it is normal when a human being starts opening some new areas for its life. And I am the one who likes doing that but the thought I could actually find a wife online sounded a little bit weird to me so I left the idea of doing that for some time until I get the point – I could not find a match among the girls that surrounded me. I was hesitating, looking for proper information about such way of dating and still didn't believe it was actually effective. There were literally tons of different reviews made by real people who found their soul mate. And after seeing that persuasive comments, reviews, real stories I finally made a decision to register on the dating website and date stunning Argentinean women.
I was also a little bit worried about how many girls I can potentially find on the dating service and how to detect and identify the one I see as my wife. After some time of using vivaamar.com, I finally managed to understand all the advantages it usually has. At the very beginning whilst creating a personal profile I went through the checking and verifying. In that way, the system of trusted service makes sure I am the real person, as well as the others who are signing up. Normally, such process takes some time but it doesn't take too long so I could use the system after some time. I was also surprised when I saw that dating service allows people to subscribe to their newsletters which I personally find very helpful. So when I started using the system I noticed next features:
I'm sure each and every one of us has a different story of using online dating services – some of us hesitate because of having zero experience, and the rest just decides to try it no matter what happens. I can surely say this is one of the best ways to make truly happy marriage with international wife.

We all have set-backs in life. However, we each handle these setbacks differently; some of us will allow the setbacks to derail us, while others will use the setback as an opportunity for learning and growth. If you have experienced something that has putted a halt in your plans, try these tips for getting your energy flowing again and continuing on the path to success:
Uncover What Went Wrong
When you're faced with a kink in your plans, the first thing that you should do is to analyze exactly what went wrong and own up to it. Until you can take responsibility for the setback, you will be prevented from moving forward from it. Eliminate blame and accept it for what it is.
Give Yourself Time and then Move On
Whenever something bad happens, it is important that you take time to process it. Allow yourself to hurt, to feel bad, and to grieve – and then move on. Dwelling on a setback will not do anything for you but prevent your energy from restoring to its original positive state.
Take Action
You have all the tools before you to be successful; why aren't you using them? To get your flow back after a major setback, commit to taking action and develop a plan to make it happen.

I would like to finally announce the arrival of Marceline Rose!!! Born at 41 3 in the birth pool at 1:07am on 24th April weighing 8lb 4oz after a 7 minute pushing stage but a 51 hour latent labour phase and 4 hour established stage! No intervention, not even a sweep!
Basically my contractions started Saturday evening, but because she was back to back the labour wouldn't kick off fully. I was having them irregularly and varying intensity. They would come on strong enough that I couldn't sleep through them but then die down. Cue very tired, frustrated and miserable gemma! Yesterday was the day sent from the depths of hell, all day I had strong contractions that demanded the need to stop and breathe through them, and the pain was sharp and constantly in my lower back. I got checked at Samuel Johnson and hallelujah I was 3cm dilated, given codeine and sent home knowing that finally I was getting somehwere. Got back at about 7, and after watching hollyoaks and thanks to being spaced out from the codeine I managed to finally get about 45 minutes nap in. Woke up and went straight into contractions coming between every 3, 5 and 7 minutes. Still irregular but closer together. I crawled around on all fours in a bid to move her from the back to back position and it worked! Come 11pm we think it's time to get checked at Samuel Johnson again but almost don't bother ringing thanks to the irregular timings. After coming off the phone to them I had a contraction that was different and just felt... urgent! So we run out the door and get there at midnight. After being checked again the midwife found I was 6cm!! She said I was transitioning and had a feeling I would be pushing soon which was amazing because I didn't feel like I was in transition at all! In fact I was chatting to Michelle (my doula) about shadow (my cat) in between contractions. So I get taken to the delivery room (which was BEAUTIFUL) and felt like I needed a wee. Headed to the loo, stopped and said NO I NEED TO GET IN THE TUB NOW!! OH (other half) said he was going to get the bags out the car and I said no don't go else you'll miss it! And he would've! Within seconds of me getting in the tub i started pushing and my waters popped, followed by Marceline's head crowning shortly after!
No pain relief at all, didn't have time to listen to music/ eat the jelly babies I'd bought/ set up the fairy lights but I'm not complaining. After what felt like neverending hell I had the perfect natural birth that I dreamed of. I even came out of it with only a small tear inside that didn't require stitches!! I'm amazed at my body, and amazed at how effective breathing deeply was (and sounding like a farm animal during the crowning stage ??
After she was born we stayed skin to skin in the tub until I birthed the placenta with the cord still attached to Marceline, then headed to the bed for her first breastfeed after lee had cut the cord. I seriously could not have asked for a better birth (ignoring that horrible latent stage!!!) and the power of listening to my body was astounding! The midwives were absolutely amazing, no interfering, no yelling at me to push, everything was calm and amazing. And to top it all off, they made copious amounts of tea and toast afterwards!!

Are Cannabis Terpenes More Important Than THC?
More people are catching on to the significance of terpenes and how they are such an important part of getting the most benefits out of cannabis.
It's no coincidence that cannabis cup judges – during blind taste tests – tend to award strains that are almost double in terpene content. That's right, the top-awarded cannabis varieties are all about terpenes – not crazy high levels of THC. For a lot of cannabis lovers, this may come as a surprise.
Terpenes are the plant molecules that explain why cannabis varieties give off so many different aromas: fruity, piney, earthy, minty and so on. Cannabis has more terpene variations than perhaps any other plant species!
Terpene profiles in cannabis aren't just responsible for the smell and flavor of a specific variety. They also help determine the mood, feel, and tone of the cannabis you're consuming. Some terpene profiles will make you feel relaxed and sleepy, while others may give you an energy boost and promote focus.
During the initial stages of the cannabis industry, most of the focus was on THC levels. People didn't really think about terpenes. Even today, most labs still don't test for terpene profiles, which I agree really is a huge disservice to consumers and the industry as a whole.

Although homing pigeons are able to fly literally hundreds, even thousands of miles, when returning home, shorter flights are considered a much safer option. Considering Perth's extreme summer heat and strong year-round wind, homing pigeons have a lot to deal with. Add a reasonable bird of prey population (such as eagles and hawks) as well as a smaller flying group and you can see why White Dove releases are suited to shorter flights than traditional racing routes.

Sometimes I pop into Anthro just to touch all their lovely clothes (one day I won't feel bad about buying an $80 shirt, right?). Then security makes me leave. HA!
Those are just about the chic-est ankle boots I've seen yet.

I follow a few published authors on Facebook and one of them posted that she had snow on the ground from the early morning, a fire running in her fireplace, and a mug of hot coffee in her hand. Then she added that she was ready to start writing.
I found myself feeling rather envious and posted on her wall that I wished I had a job similar to hers. Do you know what she replied to that? She replied, "I wish you would!"
Hum, that got me thinking. It is obvious she thinks she has the greatest job in the world (and I agree with her!). And her comment also told me that being an author is not about clinging to one's own share of the market; it is about pleasing one's readers and not holding on to one's income. And that prompted, "Why not!" I am the only one standing between my current employment and that job.
Thanks Pam!

KINGSTON, R.I. - Rhode Island captain Emily Winslow will lead the Rams down at Lake Mercer in West Windsor, N.J. this weekend as they compete in the two-day Small Boat Challenge on Saturday and Sunday. The team has entries in the women's collegiate pairs and doubles events.
Winslow, a junior who sat in the stroke seat of the Varsity 8 that claimed last year's Atlantic 10 championship title, returned to campus this fall after spending the summer training in a single on her home course, the Connecticut River. During the summer, Winslow had the opportunity to race against some of her peers, as well as members of the elite United States National Team. She entered her single into events at Independence Day Regatta, Club Nationals and the U19/U23/Senior Trials.
"The Senior Trials I raced in this summer were a first for me," Winslow said. "The scale of racing and being on the line next to national team rowers is so different than what I'm used to at the collegiate level. I was really excited to get that experience and see what kind of race I could have in that environment."
Summer rowing has a substantial impact on the success that individual rowers will be able to achieve during collegiate competition seasons. For Winslow, it also is an opportunity to embrace the responsibilities that come with training on your own.
"The single gives me an opportunity to control everything about my race," Winslow said. "You have to be accountable for every aspect. Whether it's deciding how much warmup time you need, what you want to focus on in your race plan or what time you will arrive at the start of the race. It's all on you."
Winslow's experience in the single will undoubtedly set her up for success at this weekend's small boat race in New Jersey between Rhode Island and some of its A-10 opponents. Winslow will compete in the women's collegiate doubles event with teammate Allie Reilly, whom she raced with last year.
"I'm really excited to race with Allie again," Winslow said. "Whatever result you have in small boat racing is purely based on how hard you've trained. There's no hiding from it. I think Allie and I have built a lot of speed since last year."
Rhode Island's eight small boat entries will race in time trials on Saturday that will seed them for a six-boat final on Sunday. In 2016, current rower Katie Shattuck and 2018 graduate Kiana Anderson captured the title in the women's collegiate pair event. The Rams will look to replicate that success in this weekend's race under Winslow's leadership.
Winslow, Rams Prepare for Small Boat Challenge

Share, Experience, Get Inspired! – Enjoy the diversity of non-formal learning tools
What was the idea?
Education has been challenged the last years in Europe. The educational systems are failing to meet the needs of young people nowadays to develop their competences in a way that they grow as self-confident, competent, socially involved and active citizens who are also able to meet the criteria of the labour market today. At the same time we are witnessing a change in how learning is understood. Learning has been more and more regarded as something that takes place on an ongoing basis from our daily interactions with others and with the world around us. It can take the form of formal, non-formal and informal learning. In parallel the importance of youth work is also growing as the youth workers are one of the main actors supporting the non-formal and informal learning.
The project "Share, Experience, Get Inspired! – Enjoy the diversity of non-formal learning tools" had a duration of 10 months. Its main activity concerned was an international seminar designed to meet the project aim, which was to increase the capacity of the partner organisations by supporting the professional development and enhancement of the competences of their youth workers in fostering creativity, participation, sharing, cooperation, mutual learning and innovation in the field of non-formal learning.
The seminar:
The seminar for youth workers, trainers and educators took place from 24 to 28 October 2018 near Brugge, Belgium, and gathered 39 participants (youth workers, educators, trainers, facilitators) coming from 14 different countries - Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Northern Macedonia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, and Turkey, co-funded by Erasmus+ and SCI.
It provided the opportunity to exchange and learn methods, tools, innovative approaches and new and creative ways of learning. This developed knowledge and skills essential for the educational activities that participants implement for the young people they work with in their daily lives, including those with fewer opportunities.
The seminar included sessions providing new knowledge and developing skills on learning, visual facilitation, online tools, raised discussion on the philosophy and recognition of non-formal learning,the role of the educators and the challenges they face, and provided space for an intensive exchange of methods, tools and practices. The working methods used were highly participatory and were based on the principles of adult learning.
You can find more information on what happened at this link.
What was the impact?
The project produced a direct impact on 39 participants that benefited of having: increased self-confidence; ability to transfer their knowledge/skills through running educational workshops and activities; a greater motivation and inspiration for leading educational activities; a sense of trust and support within the network of education activist (youth workers, trainers, facilitators); wider information and better knowledge on variety of non-formal learning methods and tools; increased possibilities and opportunities for cooperation and future joint educational projects; a stronger trust in the potential of non-formal learning.
The project also had an impact on the local communities in the partner organisations' countries. Thanks to the project, numerous youth workers, community members, and other beneficiaries are offered high quality educational situations which are in line with the principles of non-formal learning, and tackle their views of topics as social inclusion, migration, solidarity, voluntarism, tolerance, active citizenship, climate justice, peace, etc. One of the project outcomes was the 2nd, enriched edition of the "Go Visual! Icon Dictionary on Migration" publication.
What did the participants think?
"SEGI was a beautiful and comfortable collective learning space for sharing SCI activists' backgrounds and experiences from diverse contexts and realities in relation to NFE. There was a good facilitation of a giving and taking process in which everyone could share their diverse talents and enrich the group."
"I definitely gained a lot of inspiration and exercised my drawing skills. Apart from that, my youth work network grew and I developed a healthier self-perception of my own competences as a youth worker/educator."
An Inspired Adventure in Belgium - story by Stela:
''Share, Experience, Get Inspired!" is not only the name of the seminar I attended this October but also the most valuable lesson that I learned during my stay there. It is still in my heart almost a month later and I will cherish and keep it for long time. Mainly because during my stay there it proved to be true, it changed who I am and will help in the future. These simple words convey deeper meaning that depicts the essence of being a trainer, educator, youth worker or generally a good positive person. Through opening yourself to share, experience you get inspired and this leads to changes - both internal in yourself and external. Aren't we all as educators and people working in the social sector striving for change? I met the most wonderful group of individuals - each of them had exciting stories and is doing impressive and meaningful work. We came in as strangers and left as friends as each of us helped one other to answer some questions, gain confidence, find insight or just have a productive time in an encouraging safe space. We learned a lot in terms of methods and practical skills. However, the most precious gift we got was the gift of sharing of experience, getting inspired and spread the positive energy all around. Stay SEGI forever. <3"

"People are angry, universally, at the government," says journalist Charlie LeDuff
Charlie LeDuff is channeling America's rage. It's a rage that unites vast swathes of the country, he says, from protesters in Ferguson to Flint, Michigan, to Detroit, to Chicago, and back to New York, even if people in those groups don't naturally find common ground.
LeDuff, both in his new book and in the seat opposite CBSN anchor Elaine Quijano on "Red & Blue," lists the best-known flashpoints of America's economic decline - most of which he's spent time in. Flint; the border with Mexico; McAllen, Texas; Detroit and Erie, Pennsylvania. LeDuff describes them all in vignettes of pure frustration – a common bedrock of rage that roiled the 2016 election and, according to LeDuff, led the nation to where it is now.
"People are angry, universally, at the government," he tells CBSN. "Pick your form: Local, federal, state. Flint: They failed, them, they poisoned them … Ferguson, it wasn't just because the police dropped a black guy, they've been doing that for 400 years."
LeDuff's cameraman is a Flint native, so naturally, they went there to report.
"We go to Flint, the factory is gone," LeDuff said.
"There's a last-chance trailer park, and everybody's teeth are red. I ask the lady: 'Why's everybody's teeth red?' She goes: 'Ah, you know, they changed the water. They said it's safe to drink but it tastes like shit, so you've gotta mix it with Kool-Aid to get it down.' Two days later: First boil water advisory — we all know what happened in Flint, by the way but we don't know what's happening with Flint because that flavor of the month is gone, the media don't want to come any more."
The jab at the media of which he's part is deliberate. His book is titled "Sh*tshow: The Country's Collapsing … and the Ratings Are Great", and while he's arguable part of the elite (LeDuff counts a Pulitzer among his many awards) he's made his mark by staying on the noisier side of police cordons and avoiding the safe scrums of traditional broadcast journalism in places like Ferguson.
LeDuff visits Detroit, where people whose water has been shut off by the government are going to an abandoned building, where they forgot to turn it off. At the Mexican border, he describes how he kayaked the Rio Grande with undocumented immigrants. In North Dakota, an unemployed Latino oil worker from the Deep South offers him oral sex for $20 to pay for shelter in the cold.
LeDuff sees it all as interlinked. Jobs are gone. By his telling, far from stemming the losses, the government seems to be aiding and abetting the spiriting away of jobs and prosperity.
"Let's put it this way. [A] guy loses the value of his home because of what Wall Street's done, right, and its puppets in Washington," LeDuff said. "He goes to Iraq, or his brother or his cousin, and they come back home on popsicle sticks and they wait for that appointment at the V.A. that never seems to be coming and guys are dying or waiting while they lie about it. The job is is off to Mexico. Right. Then you go to Mexico and there's the former jobs from Flint and they're making a dollar an hour and these clowns have been telling us it's six an hour.
"Ask somebody in Ferguson: "The government is my enemy." Ask somebody in Flint: "The government is my enemy." Ask somebody that used to have that job. Like, 'What about us?'"

Night Gallery (TV Series)
Pilot (1969)
- Summaries (2)
A seemingly haunted painting drives a greedy man insane. A rich blind woman gets a new pair of eyes that allow her to see for only one brief ironic moment. An idyllic painting gives a Nazi war criminal in hiding some fleeting comfort.
In the pilot of the television series Night Gallery (1969), Rod Serling introduces three separate paintings, each with its own story of uncanny vengeance against evil to tell. The first, "The Cemetery", involves a black sheep nephew (Roddy McDowall) who murders his rich uncle to inherit his fortune - both much to the detriment of the uncle's butler (Ossie Davis) - only to find that vengeance extends beyond the grave. In the second story, "Eyes", a rich, heartless woman (Joan Crawford) who has been blind from birth blackmails an aspiring surgeon and a man who desperately needs money to give her a pair of eyes which will allow her to see for the first time - even though for only half a day's time - only to have the plan backfire on her in ways she never imagined. In the third story, "The Escape Route", a Nazi war criminal (Richard Kiley) is hiding from the authorities in South America, where he is confronted with his past demons and a curious Holocaust survivor (Sam Jaffe) and finds solace only in a serene painting in a museum, wanting nothing more than to enter into that world and stop running.
It looks like we don't have a Synopsis for this title yet.

SBC Invites Pres. Jerry Young to Annual Session to address prayer and racial unity
By Shawn Hendricks, BP News | April 22, 2016
...With the theme of this year's June 14-15 gathering being "Awaken America: Reach the World -- Agree, Unite, Pray," (President) Floyd continues to point to passionate prayer as a critical tool for a "nationwide and global spiritual awakening."...
For the second year, Floyd will lead a Tuesday evening session devoted to prayer. "A National Call to Prayer for Spiritual Leadership" will feature a diverse group of Southern Baptist leaders and pastors with special guests Keith and Kristyn Getty. Floyd has also invited African American pastor Jerry Young, who is president of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc., to participate in the evening session. Young also will be among the speakers at a special session, "A National Conversation on Racial Unity in America," that will take place that morning.
Floyd described St. Louis as "one of America's significant cities."
"With the racial unrest in St. Louis due to what happened in Ferguson in August of 2014, Southern Baptists will have a strong opportunity to represent Christ through Crossover ministry in the city," Floyd said of the annual evangelism outreach event that takes place each year in the annual meeting's host city. They also have an opportunity to "speak to the racial challenges that face not only St. Louis, but our entire nation..."

Kate Middleton Hair Day 2, success. This time the wind cooperated. Yes, I might be slightly obsessed with her, I might be pouring over photos of her on the internet for hours. Printing them out and making wallpaper out of them. Asking my husband to call me Kate...Middleton. But it's really that I just like her hair. And that I'd like to be invited to the wedding, that's all.
Do you ever put on an outfit that takes you by surprise? That's how I feel today. I don't want to take this outfit off, even if my husband told me that I looked like I needed a small pony to go with my outfit. I took it as another reference to my current K.M. obsession. All royalty needs a horse. I have my prince, I have the hair, I just need a horse. And apparently a small one.
On a side note, I think Ralph Lauren would really like my outfit today. But then again, he'd like it better if there was a small pony in the picture with me. Man, sometimes you just can't win.

While many people may have heard about blockchain, there is still a lot to be learned.
There are a lot of information, articles and news about blockchain technology; and how it impacts our lives; and the different industries that use it. However, it does not provide an easy explanation that a simple consumer can easily grasp. Though it is very complex, we see that it has great uses.
Did you know that the blockchain technology has a great potential to the accounting world?
A basic impact of blockchain to the accounting and audit industry is that it reduces the errors when merging much information from multiple sources.
What Every Accountant Needs to Know about Blockchain?
There has been a lot of talk about blockchain technology and the impact that it will have on business, but there has been very little explanation of how it will affect us in plain English.
Blockchain is of huge significance to the accountancy world, especially in the short term, as clients will be assessing the benefits of this new technology.
Blockchain is often described as one of the most significant recent developments in computing technology, with applications that have the potential to change the way we do business, consume goods and store our data. While the term is widely used, it is not always totally understood.
A blockchain is a digital ledger in which transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly.
When digital currencies were first imagined, they could never work because of the 'double spend' problem. Programmers couldn't figure out how to reliably prevent digital currencies being spent more than once without relying on a centralised service to validate transactions.
A blockchain is an innovation, which helps solve the 'double spend' issue of digital currencies by gaining the 'consensus' of multiple computers which solve a cryptographic puzzle to validate transactions. Cryptography ensures tamper-proof security, authentication, and integrity of transactions.
Transactions are recorded on a single ledger (blockchain), which can't be edited, is secure, and provides a clear audit trail based on transaction addresses. Blockchain technology is based on a concept called triple-entry accounting, which removes the need for transactions to be processed by a financial institution.
Euros Evans, CEO of Etch, a new blockchain-based payroll system that allows employers to pay workers second by second, believes that blockchain has the power to change the way payments are made forever. He says: "The whole world requires trust to function. People and businesses simply don't trade with others they cannot trust. In centralised models, we rely on third parties to create trust around transactions. We trust financial institutions to make sure our transactions happen safely and securely without anything going wrong.
"This, however, has a cost. Using middlemen to ensure trust incurs fees and transactions are slowed down to the speed at which they are able to operate. The middlemen who we trust are still prone to errors and sometimes things still go wrong.
"Using a blockchain means you don't need a trusted middleman to prove that a transaction has taken place and currency has changed hands. A blockchain enables a cryptographically signed receipt which verifies the transaction has taken place and stores it on the immutable, secure blockchain.
"Blockchains are creating the possibility to have faster transactions at a lower cost, without needing to trust a third party. Blockchain technology is making micropayments possible and even enabling smart contracts to be created which can transact other assets types, in addition to currency."

Bressie: Identify your triggers to combat anxiety
Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to live a happier life. Niall Breslin has trained himself to act as soon as he feels anxious or depressed
I'll be honest, sometimes I have to make the same mistake three or four times before I cop on. You see, the difference with my anxiety and depression now, compared to the past is my self-awareness and ability to analyse the 'triggers' that can bring on periods of uneasiness.
Many people ignore their triggers even though they could be staring them in the face, and causing them to compound and promote their distress.
In the absence of self-awareness of your triggers, you can find yourself exposed to people, situations and environments that are like a toxic drain on your physical and mental energy, which can result in a magnifying effect of your low moods and stress levels.
In situations like this I now know for example to completely avoid alcohol in any capacity. In a country where our culture is so intertwined with alcohol this can be difficult, and on top of that many people with mental health issues refuse to recognise the part drinking alcohol can have on their bodies and minds.
I cannot afford to avoid these self-awareness practices in the same way somebody with perhaps a physical illness can't avoid their required medication.
They are part of my life and I must sustain and practice them every day.
As well as avoiding alcohol, here is an example of what else works for me when I feel uneasiness kicking in:
• I delete news apps from my phone and distance myself from watching the news.
• I make a meditation / mindfulness plan where I meditate in the morning and evening every day, to calm my mind down and re-focus.
• I meal-prep lunch and dinners for myself so I get the nutrients and food I need to stay healthy.
• I do what I can to create a regular sleeping pattern where I get to bed at the same time each evening.
• I make a promise to turn off my phone after 7pm in the evening and go on airplane mode (my phone without doubt can be the biggest stressor in my life, and I need to spend a few hours a day without it).
• I avoid toxic people / environments.
• I set a new healthy goal for myself - see below:
It's important not to be hard on yourself when you go through periods of unhappiness or anxiety. The ability to comprehend how normal this is, is really critical, but even more critical is having the self-awareness to understand the triggers that could potentially be causing it and take action accordingly.
In my case it has an immediate and sustained effect and helps me to prevent that initial sense of uneasiness from developing into something more difficult to deal with.
I've also just signed up for my first full Ironman next year in Copenhagen, and got my coach to outline my training programme for the coming months and got back to regular exercise.
Perhaps you can do something like this too by signing up and joining us in our Phoenix Park walk / run?

DelVal wins Gold Award in North American Dairy Challenge
Apr 22, 2010
Students from Delaware Valley College won a Gold Award and placed ninth at the North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge held April 9-10, 2010, in Visalia, Calif.
Hosted by California Polytechnic State University and California State University, Fresno, 28 teams from the United States and two teams from Canada competed. This is the fifth year in a row that Delaware Valley College has received a Gold Award in this competition.
The team from Delaware Valley College consisted of: Garrett Schorran, Kevin Folk, Joshua Detwiler and Matthew Puskas. Todd Webb coached the team.
The dairy challenge, known as NAIDC, is an innovative two-day competition for students representing dairy science programs at North American universities. It enables students to apply theory and learning to a real-world dairy, while working as part of a four-person team.
Day One of NAIDC began with each team receiving information about a working dairy, including production and farm management data. After an in-person inspection of one of four designated dairies, participants interviewed the herd managers. Then, each team developed a farm analysis and presentation, including recommendations for nutrition, reproduction, milking procedures, animal health, housing and financial management.
Day Two was presentation day. Team members presented recommendations to a panel of judges and then fielded questions from the judges. Presentations were evaluated, based on the analysis and recommendations. The evening concluded with a reception and awards banquet.
The North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge was established as a management contest to incorporate all phases of a specific dairy business. It strives to incorporate a higher-learning atmosphere with practical application to help prepare students for careers in the dairy industry. Supported financially through generous donations by agribusinesses and coordinated by a volunteer board of directors, the first NAIDC was held in April 2002.

Junior All-American Erika Kelly netted her eighth career hat trick today. (PHOTO BY Emily Reynolds)
Junior All-American nets tying goal late in regulation, adds gamewinner in OT
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (October 25, 2014) – Junior All-American Erika Kelly (Watertown, Massachusetts/Watertown) netted her second hat trick of the season to lead Stonehill College, ranked fourth in this week's Penn Monto/National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division II poll, to a key 5-4 overtime triumph at 7th-ranked Adelphi University in Northeast-10 Conference field hockey action at Motamed Field today.
Kelly's second hat trick of the year marks the eighth of her career to lead Stonehill. She scored the tying goal with 1:45 remaining in regulation to force overtime and then potted the gamewinner 6:27 into the extra frame. The three goals give her 129 career points, moving her within three points of the program record of 132 points by Caitlin Gleason '08. Kelly's second gamewinner of the season give her 60 career goals, building on her career goals mark and moving into seventh place in NE-10 history.
Sophomore Sarah Morse (Westminster, Massachusetts/Oakmont Regional) and freshman Alexandria Sylvia (Brockton, Massachusetts/Brockton) also netted goals for Stonehill. The Skyhawks built a 28-17 advantage in shots, including 20-10 in the second half, and held an 18-6 edge for penalty corners – 15-4 in the second half. Senior Elizabeth Genovese (Street, Maryland/North Harford) posted seven saves in goal for the Skyhawks.
Junior Olivia Nowokunski (Leominster, Massachusetts/Leominster) led Adelphi with two goals, while sophomore Lina Pollich (Massapequa, New York/Massapequa) contributed a goal and assist. Freshman Samantha Nizich (Nesconset, New York/Massapequa) chipped in a goal for the Panthers, while junior Kelly Serrao (Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey/Parsippany) registered 11 saves in the cage, including nine in the second half.

Adelphi scored twice in a seven minute span to take a 4-3 lead after Nowokunski's second goal of the day with 5:59 remaining in the second half. Kelly forced overtime with her second equalizing goal of the contest when she scored a wrist shot from a low angle on the left side with just 1:45 to play. She lifted Stonehill to the win with a counterattack strike as she took a pass from Sylvia, side-stepped the goalie and pushed her 14th goal of the season into an open net.
The teams went into halftime knotted at a goal apiece after trading goals less than two minutes apart. Morse put Stonehill in front 13:34 into the contest when she knocked in a loose ball during a scramble in front of goal off a penalty corner. Nowokunski's first goal of the day knotted the score just 1:16 later off a feed from Pollich for her fifth marker of the season.
Pollich gave Adelphi the lead 5:08 into the second half with her seventh goal of the year. Kelly's first goal of the afternoon also came on the left side at 50:36 and then Sylvia regained the Skyhawks lead 1:17 after with her fifth goal of her rookie season.
Nizich leveled again for Adelphi off a feed from post grad Arielle Theofield (Sayville, New York/Sayville) at 57:08 and then Nowokunski gave the Panthers their second lead of the half with her sixth goal of the year with 5:59 remaining.
Stonehill (9-2, 4-1 NE-10) is right back in action on Long Island tomorrow when it visits Dowling College for a non-conference match at 1 p.m. The Skyhawks return home on Wednesday to host 9th-ranked Saint Michael's College at W.B. Mason Stadium at 4 p.m. Adelphi (9-3, 4-1 NE-10) hosts 5th-ranked LIU Post for an NE-10 contest on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

text: Posted by: jsharpe on March 23, 2018 in Industry News, Product News Leave a comment New Ravenheat HE98S combi boiler gets top marks from homeowner and gas engineer Ravenheat's latest combination boiler, the HE98S, has helped a Leeds-based family cut the cost of their energy bills and keep their new home warm. When George Robinson moved into a new house near Leeds and found his boiler needed replacing, he asked long-time friend and heating engineer, Michael Goodall for advice. Michael, who has been working in the industry since the age of 15 and set up his own plumbing and heating business, iPlumb, recommended Ravenheat's HE98S. As a homeowner, George has been incredibly impressed with the new boiler, which has saved him a meaty £30 off his first month's energy bill. "It's fantastic. I spoke to a lot of people who fit a lot of boilers and most of them said if you want the best price and service get a Ravenheat," said George. "It has great premium branded parts inside the boiler and you get the personal touch from the staff, which is just amazing. "Once we had the boiler fitted we noticed an instant change. It's warmer and gets up to temperature really quickly, especially with the OpenTherm thermostat. It's a really efficient boiler and system. We need to think about saving money on bills in particular with having a young family, and it has absolutely cut money off our energy bills." As the HE98S is OpenTherm compatible, George also had a Honeywell thermostat fitted to allow him and his partner to adjust their heating from a mobile device. This has helped his family stay warm and save even more energy. By setting the heating remotely for the specific times they know they will be home, George and his family have noted they have their heating on for much less time than before, with no detrimental effect on the temperature of their house when they are at home. Experienced heating engineer, Michael, has been equally impressed by the boiler. He said: "I chose the HE98S because of its small design and what's inside the boiler. The internals are all brass and copper, and it's OpenTherm compatible, it's a cracking piece of kit. "It's really simple to install, which we like. You can tell it's engineers who designed it. Ravenheat asked heating engineers what we thought should be in boilers and we all gave feedback. Builders and plumbers always have cuts and scabs on our hands because of our work, but that's all safe in the HE98S, there's no sharp edges." The HE98S is available from merchants across the country.

Note to self: think twice before going forward with your plan to train squirrels as domestic house pets. From Wikipedia:
Predatory behavior by various species of ground squirrels, particularly the thirteen-lined ground squirrel, has been noted.[10] For example, Bailey, a scientist in the 1920s, observed a thirteen-lined ground squirrel preying upon a young chicken.[11] Wistrand reported seeing this same species eating a freshly killed snake.[12] Whitaker examined the stomachs of 139 thirteen-lined ground squirrels, and found bird flesh in four of the specimens and the remains of a short-tailed shrew in one;[13] Bradley, examining white-tailed antelope squirrels' stomachs, found at least 10% of his 609 specimens' stomachs contained some type of vertebrate, mostly lizards and rodents.[14] Morgart (1985) observed a white-tailed antelope squirrel capturing and eating a silky pocket mouse.[15]
I keed, I keed. I'd still love to have pet squirrels. Just never occurred to me that they are carnivorous.

Google AdWords comes ahead as one of the most effective online marketing strategies as it is capable of boosting traffic for your website almost instantly. Since it is a paid form of internet marketing, you need to handle it effectively to get the best results and high ROI. However, running a campaign successfully is easier said than done, particularly is you are new to the online marketing scenario. Small mistakes can make the campaign expensive for the business, which may sometimes cost dearly and even endanger their survival for them. On the other hand, a well-managed campaign can change the fate of the business and take it on the growth route. The idea is to understand that challenges and come up with a strategy to overcome them effectively. Here are the challenges that might be standing in the way of success for your Google AdWords campaign:
- Understanding your audience: The biggest challenge that most campaigns face is about understanding the audience. This happens when the campaign is started in haste without researching the target audience and the keywords they are likely to search. There are some lucky ones who might strike gold by hitting the right keywords this way but most of them are destined to fail. The answer lies in conducting a full-fledged research to pinpoint your target audience so that you can reach them with the relevant keywords.
- Keeping up with the competitors: While not understanding your target audience is one part of the puzzle, not keeping up with the competition is another major challenge. The key is to stay ahead in every aspect of the business, including the AdWords campaign. Keep a close watch on their strategy, such as the keywords and ad copy they are using and the kind of impact being driven by them. You should even research the time period for which they use a specific keyword. The information can be useful for designing and tweaking your own strategy for better results.
- Defining the X-Factor of your business: Knowing what makes you stand apart is important as it gives you the confidence for convincing the customers about your "X-factor". However, defining the X-factor of your business can be a challenge in itself. Analyze your business and define the reason that makes you unique, whether it is the product you are offering or the services you deliver to the customers. Focus on building an ad copy that highlights this uniqueness and is impressive enough to convey the message in an impactful manner.
- Spending optimally on clicks: Speaking of the biggest challenges of running a successful AdWords campaign, spending the right amount on clicks is something that might baffle you. the best way to go is to spend high at the time of launching the campaign so that the ad is in a position to get more clicks. With this, the ad gets a commanding position and high quality score, which ultimately translates into cheaper clicks. However, bids that are too high are not recommended as they may topple the budget and account to a negative ROI. The best way is to maintain an optimal balance while estimating the maximum CPC spend. It is better to avail the services of a professional adwords management company as they can help you handle this part in the best way.
5.Aligning your landing page for better results: The ad copy is one aspect of the campaign while the landing page is the other. Both have to be well aligned to get optimal result from the campaign and this is something that stands as a key challenge. Focusing only on the ad copy is the mistake that some marketers make. They should actually review the ads and landing pages together to ensure that they are perfectly aligned with each other. Ideally, the landing page should replicate everything the ad says. For instance, if the ad offers free shipping for the shoppers, the same should be represented on the landing page of the website.
- Fitting everything in limited characters: For an AdWords campaign to be successful, you must write a compelling ad copy that engages the users and drives them to convert. The biggest challenge, however, is to create an impressive copy given the limitation of characters you have to adhere to. The character limit you have to stick to is that of 95 characters, which means that there is not much to work with. With online advertising, the principle of "less is more" applies and you have to cultivate the ability of doing so. You need to fit in the X-factor of your business along with making an offer and including the call to action within these characters. Start by writing a few drafts and test each of them to decide which one gives the best performance.
- Making your website responsive: As mobile becomes the mainstay of online selling, it is important to have a website that delivers as seamless experience on the mobile as it does on the web. The key challenge here lies in the fact that most websites were created before the era of mobile responsiveness. Therefore, you would need to work on the responsiveness of the site to ensure that the campaign brings you optimal results. The reason is that users who click your ad on mobile will reach the website but will have a poor experience in case the site fails to load. Not only will the users bounce back but the quality scores of the campaign will suffer too. Therefore, it is essential for sellers to focus on having a mobile-optimized website to drive a successful campaign.
Running an AdWords campaign is a continuous process. Success does not only depend on creating a successful campaign but also ensuring that it is well optimized throughout its lifetime. It is best to avail the expertise of professional AdWords specialists who monitor the campaign on a regular basis and periodically test the strategies by altering the keywords, ad copies and bid values. Businesses scenarios are constantly evolving and you need to be on your toes all the time to ensure that your campaign runs successfully.
