Chicago Cultural Advisory Council begins bracing for G-8/NATO
Cultural Affairs and Special Events heavyweights express anxiety at first meeting.
The heavy hitters sat in the round on the fifth floor of the Cultural Center the evening of December 7. The first meeting of the city's Cultural Advisory Council, a sort of Justice League for the newly merged Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, was brought to order. Mayor Rahm Emanuel popped in briefly, but around two dozen movers and shakers stayed for the 90-minute confab. Among them: MacArthur "genius" starchitect Jeanne Gang; übernetworker Mike Reed, the jazz drummer who helps plan the Pitchfork and Umbrella music fests; acclaimed poet Kevin Coval, cofounder of the teen poetry fest Louder than a Bomb; and council chair Nora Daley Conroy, the highly connected daughter of former mayor Richard M. Daley.
Despite all the power and influence assembled, there was worry in the air. "Let's see," DCASE commissioner Michelle Boone said coyly. "What's going on in May?"
Everyone at the table knew what Boone was getting at: the concurrent G-8 and NATO summits at McCormick Place. The Group of Eight major industrialized democracies forum, hosted by President Obama, will take place May 19 and 20; the North Atlantic Treaty Organization meeting, the first held in the U.S. outside of Washington, D.C., will happen May 20 and 21. It's the first time since 1977 that a city has played host to both world-leader gatherings. They're expected to draw some 2,000 journalists and an untold number of protesters energized by the Occupy movement.
"They anticipate up to 100,000 protesters," Boone told the council. "It might be a bit of a nightmare." Demonstrators are seeking permits for a May 19 march bookended by rallies at Daley Plaza and McCormick Place, says Joe Iosbaker, a United National Antiwar Coalition activist involved in the effort. Emanuel recently introduced legislation intended to control the crowds. The ordinance would increase fines for resisting arrest and allow the mayor to contract public and private security entities without City Council approval.
"I have a concern about [the summits] because it's come up in the theater community: cultural institutions actually taking their performances and going dark that week because they're worried," said Eileen LaCario, vice president of Broadway in Chicago. "I heard that the [Chicago Symphony Orchestra] is looking for another performance space."
Where will world leaders get their classical-music fix? "I don't know which venues are being explored. I know that people are seeing what's available and what's out there," CSO public relations director Rachelle Roe told me a few days after the DCASE meeting. "We're exploring what the possibilities are should the information we get indicate that a change needs to be made."
Diana Martinez, president of Second City Int'l, drew a comparison at the meeting to her company's theater outpost in Toronto, the host city of last year's G-20 (Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors). "I was like, 'We're going to be the only ones open.' And we were—nobody was there." Would-be comedy show attendees were perhaps put off by images of police cars set alight by some of the 20,000 protesters.
While the Art Gallery of Ontario closed in anticipation of G-20 chaos, which included arrests of 1,105 demonstrators, the Art Institute of Chicago plans to remain open. The museum did, however, reschedule the opening of its Roy Lichtenstein exhibit to May 16. (It was originally set for May 23, in the wake of the summits.) "We have an excellent security team," museum spokeswoman Erin Hogan told me. "If anything happens, we're prepared."
The G-8/NATO summits have also caused the School of the Art Institute to reschedule its commencement, Columbia College to move up the end of the year two weeks and the National Restaurant Association to change the date of its annual convention, originally scheduled for the weekend of the summits at McCormick Place.
For others, the show must go on. "We're not shutting down," Broadway in Chicago's LaCario assured me after the meeting adjourned. "International leaders, come to us—that's what I say."

Kremlin denies ordering politician's murder in Ukraine
Russian ex-deputy and Putin critic Denis Voronenkov gunned down outside Kiev hotel
The body of Denis Voronenkov is carried away by forensic experts in downtown Kiev on Thursday. Mr Voronenkov appeared to be a loyal pro-Kremlin deputy in Russia's parliament until he was accused of fraud and fled to Ukraine last October. Photograph: Andrew Kravchenko/EPA
A Russian politician who fled his homeland and became an outspoken critic of its president Vladimir Putin was murdered in central Kiev on Thursday, in what Ukraine called "an act of state terrorism" committed by Moscow.
Denis Voronenkov was shot dead as he stepped out of the exclusive Premier Palace hotel, and a gunfight left his bodyguard and his killer bleeding on the pavement until police arrived. The assassin, who is yet to be publicly identified, later died and the bodyguard is in hospital.
Mr Voronenkov appeared to be a loyal pro-Kremlin deputy in Russia's parliament until he was accused of fraud and fled to Ukraine last October. Once there, he obtained Ukrainian citizenship, denounced Mr Putin's rule and testified against Ukraine's former president Viktor Yanukovich, who fled to Russia in 2014 after his security forces shot dead scores of people in Kiev during mass protests.
Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko told a meeting of security officials that the killing was "an act of state terrorism by Russia. There is the clear hallmark of the Russian special services, which has been seen several times before in other European capitals."
"Voronenkov was one of the main witnesses of Russian aggression against Ukraine, and in particular the role of Yanukovich in Russian forces being deployed in Ukraine."
Moscow denies sending troops and weapons to separatists in eastern Ukraine – where almost three years of fighting have killed about 10,000 people and displaced about 1.5 million – and it rejected Mr Poroshenko's allegations.
"We think that all the fabrications that can already be heard about a 'notorious Russian link' are absurd," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for Russia's foreign ministry, said Mr Poroshenko's accusations had made an objective investigation impossible.
"At first we were shocked by what happened but we're even more shocked by Poroshenko's statements," she said.
"The killer regime . . . will apparently do everything to ensure that no one ever knows the truth of what happened today."
Putin criticism
Mr Voronenkov and his wife, opera singer and fellow former Russian deputy Maria Maksakova, were controversial figures in Ukraine, however, where many saw them as opportunists using Kiev as a bolt hole from changing fortunes in Moscow, where they had lived lavishly and mingled with close allies of Mr Putin.
Ukrainian prosecutor general Yuri Lutsenko said Mr Voronenkov (45) was due to give evidence to the country's military prosecutor on Thursday in the case against Mr Yanukovich, who now lives in exile in Russia.
He was killed while on his way to meet Ilya Ponomaryov, another Russian politician who lives abroad due to his opposition to Mr Putin, and the only deputy to have voted against Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014.
"I said that Voronenkov was not a crook, but an investigator who was deadly dangerous for Russian officials," Mr Ponomaryov said.

GOOD CHARLOTTE: a concert review
On the second day of Canadian Music Week pop-punk legends Good Charlotte graced the Danforth Music Hall, with this being my second night at the music hall. Arriving promptly at 8:00PM I had a goal in mind – to inch myself through the crowd to the front where a friend was situated front-centre. I managed to squeeze about 5 rows behind the barricade, I told myself "good enough".
The show presented by Journeys featured Californian bands Movements and Palaye Royale as opening acts earlier in the evening. At 8:00 PM one of my favourite Canadian bands, Silverstein, ripped through their set which included giving shout outs to the Maple Leafs, Blue Jays, and the 905ers. Lead singer, Shane Told proclaimed the night as a hometown show. The band was formed in 2000 and have continued to manage a solid following throughout the years. As Silverstein played two of my favourites, "Smile in Your Sleep" and "My Heroine" off Discovering the Waterfront I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia, as these paved my entrance to the pop-punk and hardcore scene.
As the music hall continued to fill, the anticipation was steadily rising. As 9:00 PM came around and a few moments later, the quintet from Waldorf, Maryland made their anticipated entrance and return to Toronto. The band opened with the aptly named "The Anthem." From the opening notes, it was clear Toronto had a love for Good Charlotte and as Benji & Joel Madden reminisced over shows played in the city, it was clear – Good Charlotte had a love for Toronto too.
Good Charlotte presented a discography spanning over 20 years, with the brothers interacting and asking the crowd whether old or new fans - one thing was clear, a connection was made. At one point, Joel stated the probability of the group and the fans being friends in an alternate world. The brothers kept an impeccable pace of genuine interaction and engagement with the crowd, during a conversation before "Hold On," Benji mentioned and encouraged the strength in picking yourself up even in the lowest of moments, to give when nothing's left to give and look forward. Good Charlotte are perfect examples of authenticity, even in the presence of fame they continue to be rooted in their humble beginnings.
The final 5 tracks on their setlist acted as an extended encore with some of their most notable tracks closing out the night including "I Just Want To Live" and "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous." As the night inched closer to ending the crowd hung onto each moment with the band, with the night progressing - the band and crowd relayed each other's enthusiasm back and forth without a hitch. With 20 years in the books, the band displayed a rigorous veteran presence and for that Toronto was rocking on this April 19th night

A book review is an opportunity to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a book. However, a book review is very different than a book report. The main feature of a book report is the plot summary. In a book review, the plot summary is secondary to the analysis of content and should only be incorporated when it supports the analysis, or in a brief section at the start of the review.
A review is not a judgment on a book or author. It is an evaluation of an author's work, which should be educated, thoughtful, and supported by evidence and explanations.
An introduction for a book review should include the name of the book, the name of the author, a brief summary of the book, the book's objectives, overall thoughts about the book, a thesis statement, and a mapping scheme.
Not all book reviews require a summary. If a short summary of the book is required (2-5 sentences), then the summary can go in the introduction, before the thesis statement. A longer summary (more than 5 sentences), should be written as a separate paragraph following the introduction.
However, whether the summary is included in the introduction or after it, only include information relevant to the thesis statement. In-depth details of the book are not required. The objective of the summary is to provide enough information for the reader to understand the context as it relates to the thesis statement.
Thesis statement
A book review must include a thesis statement. A book review is designed to tell readers how the reviewer interpreted the book by evaluating whether the author met their objective. The reviewer also needs to evaluate the author's claims and whether or not those claims are valid. The evaluation of the objective and the claims are the basis for the thesis statement. The evaluation also needs to be supported by evidence by using specific examples from the book, or other credible sources.
Note: A thesis statement should not be about feelings (e.g., "I really liked this book"), unless explicitly instructed otherwise.
A variety of approaches can be used in a thesis statement to evaluate a book, such as:
Critique the significance of a text
"The book provides new insights into economic theory through its consideration of KarlMarx influence."
Analyze the author's purpose and whether it was achieved
"The book does not achieve its purpose because it fails to provide sufficient evidence to support its claims."
Discuss how the text relates to the author's other works
"In this work, the author continues to explore feminism, but unlike their earlier works onliberal feminism, this text focuses on radical feminist movements."
Explain why you enjoyed reading it or would recommend to someone
"The book is useful because it introduces new insights into behavioral psychology, and would be of interest to those interested in this topic."
Evaluate how the text fits into a larger theoretical framework
"This text adds to contemporary understandings of early childhood development bycreating links between existing theories and new theories."
These examples are only suggestions. There are several other types of thesis statements suitable for book reviews.
Body paragraphs
Each paragraph of a book review should present a claim to prove the thesis statement and incorporate examples from the text as evidence. Individual paragraphs should not be focused on describing a part of the book.
A variety of elements in a book can be considered for evaluation. The elements under consideration must relate to the thesis statement and mapping scheme. The elements under consideration can include genre/structure, author's arguments, theme, narration, writing style,images/symbols, characters/setting, relation to other research in the same field, use of evidence, format of the book, and use of diagrams/visuals. These are only suggestions, and a variety of additional elements may be included in a book review.
The conclusion of a book review should restate the thesis statement, summarize the main points, and offer readers an overall evaluation of the text. The conclusion should comment on whether the text was successful at achieving its purpose as outlined in the introduction. This may also comment on whether the text is worthwhile to read and suggest who may benefit from reading it.

From Wikipedia:
Altitude sickness—also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), altitude illness , hypobaropathy, "the altitude bends", or soroche—is a pathological effect of high altitude on humans, caused by acute exposure to low partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude. It commonly occurs above 2,400 metres (8,000 feet). It presents as a collection of nonspecific symptoms, acquired at high altitude or in low air pressure, resembling a case of "flu, carbon monoxide poisoning, or a hangover". It is hard to determine who will be affected by altitude sickness, as there are no specific factors that correlate with a susceptibility to altitude sickness. However, most people can ascend to 2,400 metres (8,000 ft) without difficulty.
Acute mountain sickness can progress to high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), which are potentially fatal."
For the next two days, the ascent was more pronounced. From 3800m we went up to 4200m and then next to 4900m.AMS or Acute mountain sickness is something to avoid to the best of our body. It is during this few camps that casualties will come. That was our situation starting off from Debouche. Saf who was sick the whole night improved a bit with Diamox. Ninti was not at his best and we were willing to let him have a go. Raj was worried about Saf but based on his experience, it looked like she would be OK but definitely we do have a low treshold for her.
What is AMS? It is an interesting physiological challenge; a popular physiology question as the ability to answer this correctly would relect upon the full understanding of how the body works in terms of pressure and hypoxia.
The weather was perfect for trekking, It rained the night before and the result was a clear morning after. The picturesque view of the Himalayas were getting more prominent. Trekking with a canvas-like scenery in all 360o view was simply exhilarating.
Arriving in Pangboche, we were delayed for about an hour because the team had to make a decision. Saf was in fact improving but Ninti was getting worse. His fever and shortness of breath is getting more prominent.He looked very sick and at this point, Raj pointed out to me that Ninti cannot go forward but descend. It was something none of us expected, and Jasmin his girlfriend was kind enough to abandon this trip to accompany Ninti down. He was not too keen to do that but he was too breathless to say anything. Raj arranged City ( one of the porters) to follow them down. The group which started with 12 had been reduced to 10.
It was cold when we arrived in Periche. Being at more than 4000m, would you expect less? The health condition and moral was a bit down. Everybody was worried if they were to be the next victim of AMS. At this juncture, the whole team moral was lifted when Deeno and Pak Am joined us by surprise! The FELDA team was in Dingbouche, as they were just back from climbing Island Peak. Saf was overjoyed to be reunited with his husband! It was a blessing at least Saf was now clear of the steps in admin for Puncak Event. And interesting story to tell about Periche was the water in the toilet became icy at night! I guess the temperature must have dropped to below 0 conditions that it happened! Imagine the surprise when going toilet in the middle of the night! haha
THe trek from Periche to Labuche i reckon is the highlight of this trip. Subhanallah.. I was so amazed by my view and the weather was simply super perfect. It was cold.. temperature ranging from 0-5oC but the sun was out. You could see the himalayan mountains on your whole view and Masya Allah.. I was simply thankful to be able to enjoy this creation of Allah.

Guidelines for Use
In order to minimise the spread of infectious disease and contamination it is important to change the pre-filter and main filter regularly. On average the pre-filter is changed monthly and the main ULPA "Big Boy" filter is changed every five to six months. This is the suggested practice to provide satisfactory filter maintenance. On average, tubing is changed every procedure.
There are two methods in determining when to change the filters of the SAFE System smoke evacuator
- Following monthly procedures
- Utilising the status gauge on the unit
Monthly Procedures
The type and quantity of procedures will require various maintenance schedules; further details are provided with the unit. Generally, based on a typical usage of 25 to 40 procedures per month, the pre-filter will need to be changed every month.
The 'Big Boy' filter should be changed after changing the pre-filter five times. There is a series of boxes on the 'Big Boy' that can be marked to track pre-filter changes.
Utilising the Status Gauge
The SAFE System Smoke Evacuator features a status gauge that highlights the need for filter maintenance. The filter status gauge will check the operating status in real time. The gauge has been calibrated at the manufacturer. This method requires a test for the actual loading of the filter.
In order to test the pre-filter status you should use the unit at the desired speed setting with the appropriate tubing set for your application. Then, when testing the pre-filter, set the variable speed to '8' and check that the gauge does not enter the red region of the display.
The 'Big Boy' filter should be changed after changing the pre-filter five times. There is a series of boxes on the 'Big Boy' that can be marked to track pre-filter changes.

How Much Does A Kitchen Rework Value In The Pittsburgh Space?
Doing a kitchen rework generally is a massive project so it is necessary that you simply do your research before you start. With products representing such a big proportion of the price range, a kitchen remodel allows householders to exert greater value control than with maybe any other reworking mission. Transforming a kitchen is one of the handiest ways to boost the overall worth of a house earlier than promoting or give your house a face-raise. The typical value of getting an appliance installed in the kitchen is $471.
"How much does a kitchen remodel cost?" In case you're on the lookout for that answer, you have got come to the fitting place. If you decide to go together with a major kitchen transform and spend upwards of $50,000, you need to contemplate consulting with a kitchen designer An expert designer has the experience, connections and examples to recommend what fits with your plan.
Budget outlet appliances ($100 – $2,000) might not final as long as their excessive-end counterparts, however that will depend on the model and whether or not you purchase the equipment new or used. Starting to plan your rework months prematurely is essential to finding the best value on materials and mitigating the stress of the development course of.
Along with a full mission description, the contract should also embody the associated fee estimate and timeline. You also needs to put aside further money for any unexpected problems throughout the rework. Installation can cost between $500 and $1,000, and that value will rely upon how much work your contractor has already completed. For mid-vary or high-finish kitchen remodels, anticipate 25{d7a98e54bc687566bd78c43078e40616f08210cb3e197f349aee2914d6fce641} of your total funds to go in direction of labor.
In line with Remodeling magazine, the national common for a full kitchen remodel is $fifty four,909. For those who're giving your kitchen more of a makeover than an overhaul, it is doable to work carefully with an experienced common contractor on the design and forgo a designer. In Rye, the most of the expensive space in upstate New York—the median worth for a home is $1,380,000—it's no shock that building permits are calculated based on the cost of a renovation.

As part of our Haskell Web Series, we examined the Persistent and Esqueleto libraries. The first of these allows you to create a database schema in a special syntax. You can then use Template Haskell to generate all the necessary Haskell data types and instances for your types. Even better, you can write Haskell code to query on these that resembles SQL. These queries are type-safe, which is awesome. However, the need to specify our schema with template Haskell presented some drawbacks. For instance, the code takes longer to compile and is less approachable for beginners.
This week on the blog, we'll be exploring another database library called Beam. This library allows us to specify our database schema without using Template Haskell. There's some boilerplate involved, but it's not bad at all! Like Persistent, Beam has support for many backends, such as SQLite and PostgresQL. Unlike Persistent, Beam also supports join queries as a built-in part of its system.
For some more ideas on advanced libraries, be sure to check out our Production Checklist! It includes a couple more different database options to look at.
Specifying our Types
As a first note, while Beam doesn't require Template Haskell, it does need a lot of other compiler extensions. You can look at those in the appendix below, or else take a look at the example code on Github. Now let's think back to how we specified our schema when using Persistent:
import qualified Database.Persist.TH as PTH
PTH.share [PTH.mkPersist PTH.sqlSettings, PTH.mkMigrate "migrateAll"] [PTH.persistLowerCase|
User sql=users
name Text
email Text
age Int
occupation Text
UniqueEmail email
deriving Show Read Eq
Article sql=articles
title Text
body Text
publishedTime UTCTime
authorId UserId
UniqueTitle title
deriving Show Read Eq
With Beam, we won't use Template Haskell, so we'll actually be creating normal Haskell data types. There will still be some oddities though. First, by convention, we'll specify our types with the extra character
T at the end. This is unnecessary, but the convention helps us remember what types relate to tables. We'll also have to provide an extra type parameter
f, that we'll get into a bit more later:
data UserT f =
data ArticleT f =
Our next convention will be to use an underscore in front of our field names. We will also, unlike Persistent, specify the type name in the field names. With these conventions, I'm following the advice of the library's creator, Travis.
data UserT f =
{ _userId :: ...
, _userName :: …
, _userEmail :: …
, _userAge :: …
, _userOccupation :: …
data ArticleT f =
{ _articleId :: …
, _articleTitle :: …
, _articleBody :: …
, _articlePublishedTime :: …
So when we specify the actual types of each field, we'll just put the relevant data type, like
Text or whatever, right? Well, not quite. To complete our types, we're going to fill in each field with the type we want, except specified via
Columnar f. Also, we'll derive
Generic on both of these types, which will allow Beam to work its magic:
data UserT f =
{ _userId :: Columnar f Int64
, _userName :: Columnar f Text
, _userEmail :: Columnar f Text
, _userAge :: Columnar f Int
, _userOccupation :: Columnar f Text
} deriving (Generic)
data ArticleT f =
{ _articleId :: Columnar f Int64
, _articleTitle :: Columnar f Text
, _articleBody :: Columnar f Text
, _articlePublishedTime :: Columnar f Int64 -- Unix Epoch
} deriving (Generic)
Now there are a couple small differences between this and our previous schema. First, we have the primary key as an explicit field of our type. With Persistent, we separated it using the
Entity abstraction. We'll see below how we can deal with situations where that key isn't known. The second difference is that (for now), we've left out the
userId field on the article. We'll add this when we deal with primary keys.
So what exactly is this
Columnar business about? Well under most circumstances, we'd like to specify a
User with the raw field types. But there are some situations where we'll have to use a more complicated type for an SQL expression. Let's start with the simple case first.
Columnar works in such a way that if we use
Identity for
f, we can use raw types to fill in the field values. We'll make a type synonym specifically for this identity case. We can then make some examples:
type User = UserT Identity
type Article = ArticleT Identity
user1 :: User
user1 = User 1 "James" "firstname.lastname@example.com" 25 "programmer"
user2 :: User
user2 = User 2 "Katie" "email@example.com " 25 "engineer"
users :: [User]
users = [ user1, user2 ]
As a note, if you find it cumbersome to repeat the
Columnar keyword, you can shorten it to
data UserT f =
{ _userId :: C f Int64
, _userName :: C f Text
, _userEmail :: C f Text
, _userAge :: C f Int
, _userOccupation :: C f Text
} deriving (Generic)
Now, our initial examples will assign all our fields with raw values. So we won't initially need to use anything for the
f parameter besides
Identity. Further down though, we'll deal with the case of auto-incrementing primary keys. In this case, we'll use the
default_ function, whose type is actually a Beam form of an SQL expression. In this case, we'll be using a different type for
f, but the flexibility will allow us to keep using our
User constructor!
Instances for Our Types
Now that we've specified our types, we can use the
Beamable and
Table type classes to tell Beam more about our types. Before we can make any of these types a
Table, we'll want to assign its primary key type. So let's make a couple more type synonyms to represent these:
type UserId = PrimaryKey UserT Identity
type ArticleId = PrimaryKey ArticleT Identity
While we're at it, let's add that foreign key to our
Article type:
data ArticleT f =
{ _articleId :: Columnar f Int64
, _articleTitle :: Columnar f Text
, _articleBody :: Columnar f Text
, _articlePublishedTime :: Columnar f Int64
, _articleUserId :: PrimaryKey UserT f
} deriving (Generic)
We can now generate instances for
Beamable both on our main types and on the primary key types. We'll also derive instances for
Show and
data UserT f =
deriving instance Show User
deriving instance Eq User
instance Beamable UserT
instance Beamable (PrimaryKey UserT)
data ArticleT f =
deriving instance Show Article
deriving instance Eq Article
instance Beamable ArticleT
instance Beamable (PrimaryKey ArticleT)
Now we'll create an instance for the
Table class. This will involve some type family syntax. We'll specify
UserId and
ArticleId as our primary key data types. Then we can fill in the
primaryKey function to match up the right field.
instance Table UserT where
data PrimaryKey UserT f = UserId (Columnar f Int64) deriving Generic
primaryKey = UserId . _userId
instance Table ArticleT where
data PrimaryKey ArticleT f = ArticleId (Columnar f Int64) deriving Generic
primaryKey = ArticleId . _articleId
Accessor Lenses
We'll do one more thing to mimic Persistent. The Template Haskell automatically generated lenses for us. We could use those when making database queries. Below, we'll use something similar. But we'll use a special function,
tableLenses, to make these rather than Template Haskell. If you remember back to how we used the Servant Client library, we could create client functions by using
client and matching it against a pattern. We'll do something similar with
tableLenses. We'll use
LensFor on each field of our tables, and create a pattern constructing an item.
(LensFor userId)
(LensFor userName)
(LensFor userEmail)
(LensFor userAge)
(LensFor userOccupation) = tableLenses
(LensFor articleId)
(LensFor articleTitle)
(LensFor articleBody)
(LensFor articlePublishedTime)
(UserId (LensFor articuleUserId)) = tableLenses
Note we have to wrap the foreign key lens in
Creating our Database
Now unlike Persistent, we'll create an extra type that will represent our database. Each of our two tables will have a field within this database:
data BlogDB f = BlogDB
{ _blogUsers :: f (TableEntity UserT)
, _blogArticles :: f (TableEntity ArticleT)
} deriving (Generic)
We'll need to make our database type an instance of the
Database class. We'll also specify a set of default settings we can use on our database. Both of these items will involve a parameter
be, which stands for a backend, (e.g. SQLite, Postgres). We leave this parameter generic for now.
instance Database be BlogDB
blogDb :: DatabaseSettings be BlogDB
blogDb = defaultDbSettings
Inserting into Our Database
Now, migrating our database with Beam is a little more complicated than it is with Persistent. We might cover that in a later article. For now, we'll keep things simple, and use an SQLite database and migrate it ourselves. So let's first create our tables. We have to follow Beam's conventions here, particularly on the
user_id__id field for our foreign key:
CREATE TABLE users \
( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT\
, name VARCHAR NOT NULL \
, email VARCHAR NOT NULL \
, age INTEGER NOT NULL \
, occupation VARCHAR NOT NULL \
CREATE TABLE articles \
( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT \
, title VARCHAR NOT NULL \
, body VARCHAR NOT NULL \
, published_time INTEGER NOT NULL \
, user_id__id INTEGER NOT NULL \
Now we want to write a couple queries that can interact with the database. Let's start by inserting our raw users. We begin by opening up an SQLite connection, and we'll write a function that uses this connection:
import Database.SQLite.Simple (open, Connection)
main :: IO ()
main = do
conn <- open "blogdb1.db"
insertUsers conn
insertUsers :: Connection -> IO ()
insertUsers = ...
We start our expression by using
runBeamSqlite and passing the connection. Then we use
runInsert to specify to Beam that we wish to make an insert statement.
import Database.Beam
import Database.Beam.SQLite
insertUsers :: Connection -> IO ()
insertUsers conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ runInsert $
Now we'll use the
insert function and signal which one of our tables we want out of our database:
insertUsers :: Connection -> IO ()
insertUsers conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ runInsert $
insert (_blogUsers blogDb) $ ...
Last, since we are inserting raw values (
UserT Identity), we use the
insertValues function to complete this call:
insertUsers :: Connection -> IO ()
insertUsers conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ runInsert $
insert (_blogUsers blogDb) $ insertValues users
And now we can check and verify that our users exist!
SELECT * FROM users;
Let's do the same for articles. We'll use the
pk function to access the primary key of a particular
article1 :: Article
article1 = Article 1 "First article"
"A great article" 1531193221 (pk user1)
article2 :: Article
article2 = Article 2 "Second article"
"A better article" 1531199221 (pk user2)
article3 :: Article
article3 = Article 3 "Third article"
"The best article" 1531200221 (pk user1)
articles :: [Article]
articles = [ article1, article2, article3]
insertArticles :: Connection -> IO ()
insertArticles conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ runInsert $
insert (_blogArticles blogDb) $ insertValues articles
Select Queries
Now that we've inserted a couple elements, let's run some basic select statements. In general for select, we'll want the
runSelectReturningList function. We could also query for a single element with a different function if we wanted:
findUsers :: Connection -> IO ()
findUsers conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ do
users <- runSelectReturningList $ ...
Now we'll use
select instead of
insert from the last query. We'll also use the function
all_ on our users field in the database to signify that we want them all. And that's all we need!:
findUsers :: Connection -> IO ()
findUsers conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ do
users <- runSelectReturningList $ select (all_ (_blogUsers blogDb))
mapM_ (liftIO . putStrLn . show) users
To do a filtered query, we'll start with the same framework. But now we need to enhance our
select statement into a monadic expression. We'll start by selecting
user from all our users:
findUsers :: Connection -> IO ()
findUsers conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ do
users <- runSelectReturningList $ select $ do
user <- (all_ (_blogUsers blogDb))
mapM_ (liftIO . putStrLn . show) users
And we'll now filter on that by using
guard_ and applying one of our lenses. We use a
==. operator for equality like in Persistent. We also have to wrap our raw comparison value with
findUsers :: Connection -> IO ()
findUsers conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ do
users <- runSelectReturningList $ select $ do
user <- (all_ (_blogUsers blogDb))
guard_ (user ^. userName ==. (val_ "James"))
return user
mapM_ (liftIO . putStrLn . show) users
And that's all we need! Beam will generate the SQL for us! Now let's try to do a join. This is actually much simpler in Beam than with Persistent/Esqueleto. All we need is to add a couple more statements to our "select" on the articles. We'll just filter them by the user ID!
findUsersAndArticles :: Connection -> IO ()
findUsersAndArticles conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ do
users <- runSelectReturningList $ select $ do
user <- (all_ (_blogUsers blogDb))
guard_ (user ^. userName ==. (val_ "James"))
articles <- (all_ (_blogArticles blogDb))
guard_ (article ^. articleUserId ==. user ^. userId)
return user
mapM_ (liftIO . putStrLn . show) users
That's all there is to it!
Auto Incrementing Primary Keys
In the examples above, we hard-coded all our IDs. But this isn't typically what you want. We should let the database assign the ID via some rule, in our case auto-incrementing. In this case, instead of creating a
User "value", we'll make an "expression". This is possible through the polymorphic
f parameter in our type. We'll leave off the type signature since it's a bit confusing. But here's the expression we'll create:
user1' = User
(val_ "James")
(val_ "email@example.com")
(val_ 25)
(val_ "programmer")
We use
default_ to represent an expression that will tell SQL to use a default value. Then we lift all our other values with
val_. Finally, we'll use
insertExpressions instead of
insertValues in our Haskell expression.
insertUsers :: Connection -> IO ()
insertUsers conn = runBeamSqlite conn $ runInsert $
insert (_blogUsers blogDb) $ insertExpressions [ user1' ]
Then we'll have our auto-incrementing key!
That concludes our introduction to the
Beam library. As we saw, Beam is a great library that lets you specify a database schema without using any Template Haskell. For more details, make sure to check out the documentation!
For a more in depth look at using Haskell libraries to make a web app, be sure to read our Haskell Web Series. It goes over some database mechanics as well as creating APIs and testing. As an added challenge, trying re-writing the code in that series to use Beam instead of Persistent. See how much of the
Servant code needs to change to accommodate that.
And for more examples of cool libraries, download our Production Checklist! There are some more database and API libraries you can check out!

The Effect Of Post-Hatch Feed On Chick Development
R. Molenaar*, L. der Kinderen‡, R. Meijerhof*, H. van den Brand‡
*HatchTech BV, Veenendaal, The Netherlands; ‡Adaptation Physiology Group, Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands
In practice access to feed for day-old chicks is delayed, due to variation in hatch time, hatchery management and transport time. Early feeding seems beneficial for chick development, but the relation between diet composition and post-hatch development is hardly known. This study evaluates the effect of different feed types on chick development.


text:
The month of June has arrived and so too will postemergence soybean applications, many of which are likely to contain the dicamba formulations of Xtendimax, Engenia, or FeXapan. As we approach these coming weeks when many of our dicamba application are likely to be applied it is time to have a refresher on the label restrictions and guidelines for applying these products.
Record Keeping: Twenty-one points of data must be recorded for each field that receives a dicamba application. Weather conditions of wind speed, wind direction, and temperature must be recorded at the beginning and end of each application. Also remember that wind speed and direction should be taken at the boom height.
Record keeping can seem very burdensome to us all, especially when you have an endless number of acres ahead of you and limited time. Remember though that well-kept records are you best friend when/if you are inspected for a potential injury case.
Sensitive Areas and Sensitive Crops: There is a distinction between sensitive areas and sensitive crops for the dicamba labels. Distinguishing the differences in these two areas is important in that they are treated differently when the wind is blowing towards them from a field receiving a dicamba application.
- A sensitive area is any non-crop area that potentially harbors an endangered or threatened species, such as native vegetation, wooded areas, fence lines, and road ditches.
- A sensitive crop is any crop that is susceptible to dicamba such as non-dicamba-tolerant soybean, tobacco, tomatoes, grapes, fruit trees, and residential areas.
If the wind is blowing towards a sensitive area then a buffer (110 ft) must be maintained between the application site and the sensitive area.
If the wind is blowing towards a sensitive crop, DO NOT APPLY. The distance of a sensitive crop downwind is undefined, but we would suggest that if it is within 0.5 miles then the applicator should strongly consider not making the application.
AgFax Weed Solutions
It is the responsibility of the applicator to know what sensitive crops are surrounding the field receiving a dicamba application. It is strongly encouraged for you to revisit with owners of neighboring field to make sure that the crop planted is still consistent with what was discussed in past conversations as things can often change, especially with this past planting season.
Wind Speed: Applications can only be made when wind is between 3 and 10 mph and when blowing away from any sensitive crops as discussed above. The minimum weed speed is just as critical as the maximum wind speed. Applying dicamba when winds are below 3 mph significantly increases the chances of applying into a temperature inversion.
Time of Day: Applications are only allowed between sunrise and sundown. These restrictions have been put in place to avoid temperature inversions that will setup during the majority of nights in the summer months of June and July.
Tracking of temperature inversions by our neighboring states over the past couple of season suggest that temperature inversions often start setting up about two hours prior to sunset and dissipate approximately two hours after sunrise. Based on this knowledge we would encourage you to only apply from two hours after sunrise to two hours prior to sunset.
Nozzle Selection: Use only approved nozzles that can be found on the label websites listed at the end of this article. The websites will also list the approved pressures for each nozzle. These restrictions on nozzles and pressures assure that driftable fines are minimized and thus minimize movement of droplets off-site, assuming all other restrictions are followed. Remember that even large droplet can move off target in high wind conditions.
Boom Height: The height of the spray boom at the time of application is often overlooked, but plays a critical role in the drift potential of an application. The higher the boom is from the target the longer the droplet must remain in the state of fall.
This extended period of time leads to increased chances of horizontal movement by wind currents and evaporation of the droplet causing a decrease in size and increased likelihood of drift. Lowering the boom to the required height of 24 inches from the target will significantly reduce the potential of off-target movement.
Running a boom height at 24 inches can be nerve racking for any applicator operating a wide boomed sprayed in many of our Kentucky fields that certainly are not flat. Our suggestion would be to lower travel speeds to allow for the ability to more accurately control boom height while avoiding damage from running boom tips into the ground.
Tank Mix Partners and Adjuvants: Use only approved tank mix partners that are found on the label websites listed at the end of the article. Some of the tankmix partners will require the addition of an approved drift reduction agent, which are also listed on the website.
Remember to only use the trade name products that are listed on the website. A generic product with same active ingredient as a product on the approved list cannot be used as formulations vary from product to product even with the same active ingredient.
DO NOT USE Ammonium sulfate: Ammonium sulfate that is either added to the tank or is a residue from previous applications will cause the salts to dissociate from the dicamba molecule creating a dicamba acid. Dicamba acid is the most volatile form of dicamba and will most likely move off-target to neighboring sensitive crops.
These are just a few reminders of the dicamba label restrictions, as always make sure to review the label and label websites.
We are very aware that following all the strict restrictions on these dicamba labels is difficult, especially in the months of June and July and often may be impossible.
It is imperative though that we follow these label restrictions as to decrease the level of wide spread off-site movement that occurred last season. Applicators and farmer must also understand that there are some fields that are just not appropriate for a dicamba application due to surrounding sensitive crops and may need an alternative weed control method or herbicide.
It is undeniable the amount of utility that the dicamba-tolerant soybean system brings to those farmers who have infestations of Palmer amaranth and waterhemp. The level of stewardship of these dicamba
products this season and ability to reduce off-target movement will go a long way in determining the availability of this system in the years to come.

In the utter silence that cloaks my house this afternoon, it's hard to believe that two weeks ago today things were rockin' and rollin' around here. The College of William and Mary had just elected to close ahead of the impending arrival of Hurricane Irene. With that, Felix and five hall mates who had been together for all of six days followed their "personal evaluation plans" and came to roost here for the storm.
What a lovely time we had! I can't even begin to express what wonderful young men they were in every possible way. Sweet, kind, funny, thoughtful, smart...well, you get it. They comprised the perfect package and surely made for the best hurricane party ever.
Another happy thing occasioned by their appearance was oodles of cooking for me. They were receptive, excited and grateful for anything and everything I threw their way and in fact, even wanted to help me cook! That is indeed a rare turn of events around here, and one I don't usually encourage, but in this instance, when we decided to make gumbo, I really needed, and they happily provided, all hands on deck. They gamely stirred away at the enormous pot on the stove as the storm raged, and chattered away exuberantly as they made quick work of peeling five pounds of shrimp. Even Felix had fun taking on scullery duty, despite trying to convince everyone that he'd been "stung" by one of the shrimp.
My sister Jo produced a great recipe for gumbo that came originally from Bon Appetit. I tweaked it only a very little bit, but it was a huge hit, and a very comforting project to take on as Irene raged outside. I do regret nearly causing Jeff's demise when I sent him out into the heart of the storm to get me a handful of thyme from the garden. However, it did make a huge difference to the gumbo, and all's well that ends well, right?
The recipe made a gigantic amount of food, enough not only for two nights here (the boys insist it was even better the second night), but I have gallons and gallons frozen to take to parent's weekend so they can share it with their other hall mates during what they've dubbed "Gooch Sunday Supper."
It was divine, and on Saturday night, in the midst of a hurricane, with the power off and gigantic trees falling all around us, we ate off paper plates, in a candle-lit dining room and had the time of our lives. I have to say, it was hands-down one of my most successful dinner parties ever and the company, and conversationwere sublime. I hope to see them all frequently during the next four years, and I certainly hope it doesn't take another natural disaster to make them head in this direction. Irene, you were quite a gal....thanks for the memories.

In response to the Aug. 16 article "Sensory Garden is – so far - underwhelming," why would Farmington Town Board representatives decide that a board meeting is the right place to question the work on an all-volunteer project?
In response to the Aug. 16 article "Sensory Garden is – so far - underwhelming," why would Farmington Town Board representatives decide that a board meeting is the right place to question the work on an all-volunteer project?
Reporter Billie Owens sensed that there are deeper issues at hand than the upkeep of the Sensory Garden at the Farmington Town Hall and as it relates to Recreation Commission member Karen Guidarelli.
In my opinion, going after a volunteer like Karen the way several Farmington Town Board members have done is just wrong, immature, unprofessional and totally uncalled for.
The Sensory Garden was her brainchild. It was and still is being built and maintained by volunteers. The volunteers have included those from the Victor-Farmington Rotary Club, the Farmington Garden Club, the Farmington Recreation Commission, the Boy Scouts and several others (some not affiliated with the town of Farmington).
The Sensory Garden has been the catalyst for a Boy Scout Eagle project (Ben Hall did an exceptional job on the raised flower beds and deserves extra cheers). In addition, the garden has room for at least one and possibly two more Eagle projects.
The Sensory Garden is a "work in progress" and always will be. Yes, it requires maintenance and for that, the Farmington Garden Club and others have volunteered their time.
How bad is this garden? Well, pictures can tell the story. To view the garden, visit: http://www.laakea.net/garden/.
The volunteers all know that more work is needed on this garden; more rain too. It is not as was depicted by the Town Board members. More importantly, the methods used by the Farmington Town Board to draw negative attention to an all-volunteer project leads me to believe that, when faced with alternative proposals for programs and funding in Farmington, the board would rather attack the presenter than debate the real issue.
The Recreation Commission has made a proposal that has caused the Farmington Town Board to be uncomfortable. Apparently, this is their way of avoiding that discomfort.
My hope is that future leadership in Farmington will have the ability to keep discussions on topic and not attack residents whose only intentions are to make Farmington a better place to live.
And if you would like to see the Sensory Garden please stop by the Farmington Town Hall. You'll be glad you did.

statement for the current show:
My work is completely abstract. I focus a great deal on how I can control my surface to amplify the expressive possibilities for colour. Subtle shifts of viscosity, sheen and texture all decide the effect that the colour will have. Although a great deal of the colour is improvised due to the demands of layering and adjustment, strategies are needed to make these things happen. I would identify the way that the colour is controlled both in terms of hue and facture as a form of drawing. Each painting places demands upon its successor to develop the fundamentals further; scale for one, is something that is beholden to confidenceand I have found that only through consistent practice can confidence be earned.
I enjoy using brushes, which I feel have an intimate quality. I try to bring the experiences of painting to a state of heady intensity and always seek a closeness to the viewer, so they are acutely aware of the play of the brush or the sweep of colour. Through reworking and tuning the colour I search for spatial structures that open out the painting in unforeseen ways.
A painter moves from a mode of philosopher to sportsman, from cerebral to physical. I never plan or even try to predict the outcome of a painting or even an instance of paint application. Instead I commit with intensity to each instance and believe it to the point that it should not only take care of itself but hopefully set up a momentum which will be maintained with every subsequent instance. This approach reassures me that I always gave it my best shot.

Today represents the fifth day of Kwanzaa and includes the principle of Nia, or purpose.
What is your purpose?
I was meditating on that question today as Christopher and I celebrate our wedding anniversary. We have been married since 2004 and have been together since 2000. I consider my purpose as wife and partner, and whether I have lived up to the Nia principle of service. My conclusion? Eh, sometimes yes, sometimes not so much. We all fall short in some areas, I suppose.
Nia encompasses the concept of restoring our families and communities to traditional levels of greatness. Such action involves carrying ourselves appropriately in all situations. It encourages respect-giving. It encourages us to expect respect from others, in fact to seek it.
I am striving to greatness as I work out my purpose, but have a long way to go...

HarvestFest Book Sale at Kennebunk Free Library
The Friends of Kennebunk Free Library will hold a HarvestFest Book Sale on Saturday, October 1, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Many new books have generously been donated plus there will be some bargain discarded items for sale. All proceeds directly benefit Library programs, collections, and events. For more information about the Book Sale or joining the Friends, please call the library at 207-985-2173 or visit www.kennebunklibrary.org.
The Sociology of Cemeteries
The Kennebunk Free Library Genealogy Group will host Helen Shaw at 10 a.m. Saturday, October 1. Helen Shaw, MA, CGsm, specializes in census and cemetery research. She is president of the Maine Genealogical Society and legislative liaison for the Maine Old Cemetery Association.
Little has been published on how people selected their final resting place or burial patterns within a cemetery. What do you do when there is no death certificate, no obituary, no burial record? How can you narrow your search for that elusive burial place?
What you know about your deceased family members can help you narrow your search for a cemetery. What you know about the cemetery in which family members are buried, can tell you a great deal about them and their social and ethnic background.
Cemeteries are important to genealogists because of what they can tell us about our relatives. Not just about them personally, but about them as a part of the community in which they lived. People are buried in a particular cemetery for a reason and discovering that reason will lead to a better understanding of your relatives.
The Genealogy Group is open to the public and meets nine times a year.
This event is free to the public and is wheelchair accessible. The Kennebunk Free Library is located at 112 Main St. in Kennebunk. For more information please call 207-985-2173 or visit www.kennebunklibrary.org.
Knitting for Victory in World War I
Join Holly Korda at 1 p.m. Thursday, October 6 at Kennebunk Free Library in exploring the amazing efforts of the Knitting Brigades of World War I and learn how knitting helped unify the nation and win the war.
In the summer of 1917, following the U.S. entry into World War I in April, the American Red Cross put out an urgent call for volunteers in every state who came to knit more than 15 million pounds of wool into socks, sweaters, hats, and bandages for our soldiers and allies overseas. In less than two years, membership swelled from 200,000 to over 30 million nationwide. Women, men, and the nation's school children knit and purled more than 23 million articles for the war effort in the most successful mobilization of community resources in the United States.
This event is free to the public and is wheelchair accessible. The Kennebunk Free Library is located at 112 Main St. in Kennebunk. For more information please call 207-985-2173 or visit www.kennebunklibrary.org.

Knog rings the changes with new bell
The Australian bike light brand Knog has decided to address one of the great cycling taboos - the bell.
While every bike is required by law in the UK to have a bell fitted at the point of sale, the majority of cyclists are known to ditch the supplied bell along with wheel and pedal reflectors at the earliest opportunity.
Knog is hoping to change all that with the release of a bell that it believes is stylish and virtually invisible all at the same time. "Bike bells have been domed since 1877," says Knog. "What if it didn't protrude from your handle bar like a blister?"
The new bell design, which Knog is calling the Oi, is essentially a metal band which attaches around the handlebar upon which a tiny hammer provides the necessary ding, which Knog insists, is a "beautiful tone."
The company isn't taking any chances, however and has turned to Kickstarter to pre-fund the bell before it is put into production.
Knog's hunch could be right - it has received $83,000 pledges at the time of writing against a $20,000 goal.

BJP's victory tempts opposition leaders to switch loyalty
Opposition politicians looking for a fresh lease of public life seem keen to join the BJP, particularly after the party's spectacular performance in the assembly polls in UP and Uttarakhand.india Updated: Mar 30, 2017 10:42 IST
After its spectacular show in the last round of assembly elections, the BJP is learnt to be on a fishing expedition yet again-- this time in Maharashtra-- to catch more disgruntled elements from opposition camps. There is now speculation about Shiv Sainik-turned-Congressman Narayan Rane's dalliance with the BJP. Although his son Nitesh has scotched it, BJP sources in Delhi do not deny their interest in the Konkan strongman.
The ruling party at the Centre is becoming a haven for politicians who are on the lookout for greener pastures, the latest being Aam Admi Party MLA Ved Prakash who switched his loyalty to the BJP last week, a month before the municipal elections in the national capital. SM Krishna, senior Congress leader and former chief minister of Karnataka, also joined the party last week.
At the BJP's parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday, parliamentary affairs minister Ananth Kumar pointed out to MPs that senior Congress leader MV Rajasekharan had written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, praising his leadership and it was an endorsement of his popularity.
Political analysts might be a little befuddled by the BJP's strategy to bring in 'spent forces' from other parties but BJP strategists see it differently.
Krishna's entry, for instance, is expected to send a message to dominant Vokkaliga community in Karnataka that will go to polls next year. With B S Yeddyurappa, a Lingayat, holding the reins of the BJP in Bangalore, the BJP has made conciliatory overtures to the rival Vokkaliga community whose loyalty is broadly divided between the JD(S) of HD Deve Gowda and the Congress. A similar assessment drove the party to flirt with veteran Congressman and former UP and Uttarakhand chief minister ND Tiwari. Brahmin leader Tiwari's well-publicized meeting with BJP president Amit Shah at the party headquarters in Delhi ahead of Uttarakhand elections did send a signal to the community even though he no longer enjoyed the clout among them.
Apart from these palpable-- though not measurable-- gains, such spent forces help the BJP create a buzz about disintegration in the opposition camp. "Lead me, follow me or get out of my way": a union minister quoted this remark by 1992 US presidential candidate Ross Perot to a young Congress leader when the latter complained to him about the current state of leadership in the party. "You should remind Rahul what Perot said. Till he is there at the top, he won't allow others to grow," the minister said, explaining in his inimitable style how desertions in the Congress camp help the BJP.
Eighty four-year-old Krishna's entry helps the BJP to drive home the point that even a trusted aide of the Nehru-Gandhi family has lost faith in the Congress. "If someone like Krishna can't trust the Congress, how can the electorate?" a BJP office bearer in Delhi said.
Defection from the Congress and other parties helped the BJP in UP, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh. The gambit has paid electoral dividends to the party. What might tempt potential defectors is the way the BJP has rewarded those who switched their loyalty. Five 'turncoats' got ministerial berths in the BJP government in Uttarakhand. Four, including former UP Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi, got Cabinet berths in Adityanath Yogi Cabinet in UP.
Opposition parties and critics might sneer at the BJP for this strategy, but the saffron party won't mind fishing in troubled waters as long as it remains a winning formula.

Here We Stand – February 2018 Update
Here We Stand Campaign … How is Your Congregational Participation Plan Going?
The number of Michigan District congregations participating in Here We Stand (HWS) continues to increase steadily. As of this publication, we had participation from 111 congregations (30% of Michigan District congregations). Please know that we are deeply grateful to each congregation that has already reached a decision to be involved. This has helped the campaign grow to $5 million in gifts and commitments, half way to our goal of $10 million.
We remain encouraged that the number of participating congregations will continue to increase steadily as HWS continues to advance in 2018, and because approximately 93% of the delegates at the 2015 Michigan District Convention voted favorably in support of doing a District-wide campaign as part of the celebration and commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation.
If you have not yet made that decision, how is your plan to participate coming along? Participation by a congregation is defined as making a multi-year pledge, setting a congregational multi-year goal, or making cash contributions. We encourage congregations to choose a method of participation that is right for them and creates interest and excitement for all.
Congregational participation in HWS has been done in many ways; some are very traditional approaches and several are quite innovative.
If you are interested in being involved in more creative or innovative ways, you may wish to do one, or more, of the following:
- Ask each member family to donate $1 for the cumulative age of their family, i.e. a 40-year old father, a 38-year old mother, and two children ages 10 and 8 would gift a total of $96 for that year. This could be done multiple years;
- Participate in the 2018 Reformation 500 Walk, Bike, Run Challenge as a congregation or as individuals within your congregation;
- Participate in the 2018 HWS Here We Ride bike event this coming summer;
- Design and distribute banks to collect donations for HWS, and collect quarterly;
- Have a congregational rummage sale, and split the proceeds with HWS;
- Host a congregational/community dinner, or maybe a talent show;
- Have a bike, walk, run, or bowl-a-thon;
- Hold a congregational auction.
- Collect receipts from Spartan Stores and receive $1,000 for every $150,000 in eligible receipts from the SpartanNash Foundation.
Each of the ideas mentioned above has been done by some congregations in the Michigan District as a means to participate in HWS. There are certainly many more ways to participate, so be creative and have fun while helping to advance the goals of HWS and the ministries of your congregations.
Let us know how we can help you plan or come up with participation ideas. We look forward to see how you will approach HWS campaign participation, all for the purpose of growing Christ's Kingdom.
For more information, contact Ray Zavada Here We Stand Campaign Director at firstname.lastname@example.com or 734.904.2773.
Campaign Progress
Over $5.12 million in gifts, pledges, and congregational goals to date.
Congregation Highlights
We would like to thank Community, Flat Rock; Good Shepherd, Lansing; St. Paul, Lapeer; St. Peter, Macomb; St. Paul, New Boston; and Christ Our Shepherd, Newport for their most recent gifts to the campaign.
We would like to thank Hope, Warren for its recent pledge to the campaign.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the continuing commitment by a business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large.
The main reason Celsium Powered by Brunel is committed to CSR is because acting as a responsible corporate citizen is simply the right thing to do.
So how do we fulfil our commitment?
We have three core values that are fundamental to the way we operate:
Respect, Integrity and Empathy.
Integrity n. The quality of being honest and having strong moral and ethical principles
Respect n. The appreciation of a sense of the worth of a person or an entity or a notion.
Empathy n. The ability to understand the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
To fulfill our CSR commitment, we apply these values to three critical areas:
Environment, Community and People.
Environment: Many businesses, both large and small, tend to use more natural resources than is necessary. Any steps we can take to reduce usage and sustain resources can only be good for society as a whole. We are committed to reducing the amount of paper we use. All of our work is carried out "in the cloud" and paper is only used if requested by the client; for example, presentation material. Any paper that we use or receive is recycled. All waste items are segregated so that as much material can be recycled as possible. Travel is limited to essential journeys only and by using the most efficient method as possible. Energy resources are preserved by switching off when not in use.
Community: Our Community Relationship Manager runs a programme of regular charity fund-raising events to help raise the quality of life for people within local communities. As we are based in the U.K., all funds raised are channelled into U.K. charities and generally at a local level in the West Midlands. As our business naturally leads us into many other countries, we also pledge to donate a percentage of our annual profit to selected global charities, particularly those dedicated to healthcare initiatives and research and the education of underprivileged children.
People: We are in business to deliver excellent value to our customers. We aim to maximise customer satisfaction by striving to understand our clients' needs and building partnerships. Our core values drive us to operate in a way that safeguards against unfair business practices. Our goal is to provide world-class services and the best possible customer experience. We take pride in our flexible approach and our ability to provide solutions to complex mobility issues.
Our ability to deliver exceptional relocation management services is dependent on a talented and engaged workforce. To this end, we are focused on making Celsium Powered by Brunel a place where people feel valued, are treated fairly and flexibly, can develop their skills, and have a clear understanding of our business objectives. The Celsium family is created through our uncompromising belief in a healthy work-life balance and the value we place on our employees' opinions and ideas.
We aim to work actively with our suppliers who commit to our core values of Respect, Integrity and Empathy. We recognise the importance of our supply chain and we are committed to developing secure relationships based on mutual trust for mutual benefit.

Barisan Nasional (BN) has obtained a simple majority to take over the Perak state government following the move by four assemblymen from Pakatan Rakyat to leave their parties and support the BN, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said today.
I just know there is 3 assemblymen, two from PKR and one from DAP to join Barisan Nasional and they have informed the Sultan of Perak by letter of their move to leave their respective parties yesterday. Who is the other one?
Guess what, someone who recently joined PKR last few days has decided to rejoin UMNO today. You know who I'm talking about, Nasaruddin Hashim (Bota) who recently decided to joined PKR.
And you know what he said?
"So I, in full awareness and responsibility, rejoin Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) starting today,"
"I did so because I want to see the setting up of a strong and stable government in Perak."
I don't know what to say but as a voter, I just feel like I've been cheated by political thigy like this. Maybe Nasaruddin think he can just simply return to UMNO like this but he must think about the voters who was shocked when he decided to join PKR last 10 days. And then now, when Barisan Nasional having a simple majority to form new government to replace the Pakatan Rakyat government in Perak, he just simply announced that he want to rejoin UMNO.
My point is, where is the dignity as a assemblymen? What was in his mind? It's all about power, money and position? I don't know, maybe he can give us an answer. Just wait and see. I just don't believe him anymore. He's from UMNO, jump to PKR and now rejoin UMNO. WTF?
"To have a world where peace and harmony reign supreme , we must journey to the self and discover that part of our inner being which invokes divine energy and honours the beauty and dignity of all living things." - Micheal Teal

Square Enix recently announced that its next main update in Patch 4.3, named "Under the Moonlight," will probably be launched in the finish of next month. The followings are some new screenshots for the principle Scenario, new dungeon and its gear.
Most important Situation: Below the Moonlight
The arrival of your Imperial Envoys around the land of Doma was as unexpected as their stated purpose: to negotiate peace. Lord Hien is eager to buy FFXIV Gil secure the release of his conscripted countrymen, accept the agreement cautiously, and arrange for prisoner exchanges. Even so, even as Doma is ready to welcome the breaking dawn, the shadow with the fallen Zenos enfolds all in darkness and uncertainty.
New Dungeon: The Swallow's Compass
Chiseled in to the good wall which cuts via the plains of Yanxia, and passing involving the two from the Dairyu Moon Gates, would be the visage of Ganen, the legendary hero who united Doma.The first king of the New Kingdom was not merely a military genius, but also the founder of geomancy. Hence, after his death, this royal mausoleum became a holy place for his disciples to make pilgrimage. Properly, immediately after the invasion of your Empire, it was abandoned and fell into disrepair, but circumstances now conspire to provide the Warrior of Light unto these hallowed halls – but to what finish?
New Dungeon Gear in the Swallow's Compass
In the Producer Live's newest letter, there is news revealed that a brand new trial together with its Intense version is going to be introduced, but we will not know what it is till Square Enix releases the Patch 4.3 trailer.
The Deep Dungeon will get an update with "Heaven-on-High", which will demand you to begin at level 60. The 24-man raid Return to Ivalice also gets its subsequent element in Patch 4.3. We are able to anticipate to find out some job adjustments for Dark Knight, Samurai, and Aastrologian classes. Additional particulars are going to be shared quickly inside the patch notes.
In Patch 4.35, we can count on a couple additions with all the Pagos Expedition to expand on the Forbidden Land of Eureka. The Ultima Weapon trial will get a new "Ultimate" difficulty with "The Minstrel's Ballad: The Weapon's Refrain in 4.35 as well.
Final Fantasy XIV is now available on PlayStation 4 and PC. You may invest in FFXIV Gil on specialist web page IGXE.com. As well as the Patch 4.3, "Under the Moonlight" will likely be launching by the end of May 2018. Let's look forward to its arrival!
