Like the best of us, you swore you would never jump at your baby's every cry or carry your baby around for hours to avoid waking her up. You'd definitely never pass up those dinner plans because the last time you tried to bring her out to dinner she freaked out. Sound familiar?
There's no doubt that becoming a parent means putting your child's needs before yours. But sometimes it raises the question...can I spoil my baby? Can I hold her too much? Will she get used to me rocking her to sleep and never go to sleep on her own?
The short answer is, for the first few months, no!
My first daughter was a pretty easy baby (I know this now after having two more not-so-easy babies), but she still had her little quirks that I needed to tend to. She had bad acid reflux and vomited whenever we laid her flat, so I had to hold or prop her up. Then there was my second daughter, who spent two straight months in a sling pressed up against my body and wouldn't sleep in anything but a moving swing. And my son, who lived for nine months in a bouncy chair at the foot of my desk while I worked. I bounced it with my foot for several hours per day through naps.
Two of my kids had binkies, blankies or both. I remember asking our pediatrician if any of these rituals would become habits. She quickly said no, asserting that the first three months are all about survival -- to just do whatever the baby needs in order to get her to sleep. After about three or four months, she said, that's when you start to implement the kind of structure your family desires. And it turned out, she was right. None of those things I was worried about lasted more than a few weeks, or a few months at most.
Don't just take it from me. Take it from Dr. David Mrazek, chairman of psychiatry and psychology at the Mayo Clinic. He says, "During the first six months, it's really impossible to spoil a child. Meeting an infant's need to be comforted, held, and fed in a predictable fashion helps him feel secure and builds a loving relationship between parent and child. It does not lead to spoiling." It's not until around six months of age that the possibility of spoiling even presents itself, he says. At that point, you can start to form the kind of life you want with your child.
Of course, there will always be a child who's harder to break from one thing or another, but most of those quirks that persist through newborn-hood or toddlerhood live on forever. Sure, your toddler may climb into your bed every night for two years, but you know what? He'll stop eventually. Even if it takes longer to potty train one of your kids, he or she will grow out of them eventually. And the same goes for binkies. After all, does anyone know of a college student who needs to suck on a pacifier or to be rocked to sleep at night?
The big-picture reminder is to chill out. As your child grows and changes, so will her needs. Now that I can look back at my own experience with three very different kids, I can tell you with confidence that even if you feel like rocking your little one to sleep for three or eight months seems like an eternity, it won't be forever. And later on, it will just be one of those anecdotes you tell about your kid. And maybe, just maybe, that "spoiling" moment you worry about is what will help them conquer the next big transition more easily.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Liberal Economic Update Full of Broken Promises and New Taxes
October 24, 2017
Ottawa, Ontario
Office of Harold Albrecht, MP
Today Finance Minister Bill Morneau unveiled his fall economic update. He confirmed that Justin Trudeau is running massive deficits, and that the Prime Minister has more money to spend because he's raising taxes on you, middle class Canadians.
Over the last several months the Liberals have laid out a plan to raise taxes on Small Businesses, employees in the retail and fast food sectors, and more recently – Canadians living with type 1 diabetes.
These are Canadians that this Government said they would help – and now they're using them to fund their out of control spending. Justin Trudeau and his finance minister talk of "fairness" – there is absolutely nothing fair about these changes.
"Let me be perfectly clear – Justin Trudeau and his Finance Minister cannot be trusted. We know this climb down is a result of our strong principled Conservative opposition and the groundswell of Canadians who are weary of this Liberal Government. Their hidden agenda has been and always will be to increase taxes on Canadians. They need Canadians' hard-earned money to pay for their out of control spending. Our Conservative team has been fighting this high-tax agenda every step of the way. And we will continue to stand up for hardworking Canadians."

Top ULFA leader Anup Chetia,currently lodged in a jail in Bangladesh,is likely to be handed over to India by the end of this year.
This indication was given by Dhaka saying the procedure to repatriate Chetia was underway,a senior government official said.
The issue has been flagged to Dhaka and will be discussed at the three-day India-Bangladesh Home Secretary-level talks beginning in Dhaka on October 14.
Last week,Bangladesh Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir,soon after taking charge of the portfolio,had said his country was exhausting all legal procedures to hand over Chetia to India.
The repatriation process of ULFA 'general secretary',who has served out his imprisonment in Bangladesh,began "several months ago and is yet to be completed".
Chetia was arrested in Bangladesh in 1997 and is under detention on completion of his seven-year jail term for cross-border intrusion,carrying fake passports and illegally keeping foreign currencies.
He has completed his prison term but still being in jail in line with a Bangladeshi High Court directive in August,2003 to keep him in safe custody until the government made a decision on his prayer seeking political asylum in Bangladesh.
An NGO too had filed a petition in a court there supporting Chetia's plea for asylum.
India and Bangladesh do not have any extradition treaty but are bound by a pact for exchanging imprisoned nationals in each other's jails.
Taking bilateral security cooperation to a new high,several ULFA stalwarts,including its chief Arabinda Rajkhowa,were detained in Bangladesh and subsequently handed over to India in recent years.
During the Home Secretary-level talks,India and Bangladesh may ink the extradition treaty,negotiations for which has been going on for several years now.
Union Home Secretary R K Singh will also travel to Akhaura soon after reaching Dhaka on October 15 before returning to Bangladeshi capital for talks the next day.
A meeting of Joint Working Group at the level of officials will be held on October 14 to do the spadework for the Secretary-level talks.

Chinese Grammar Wiki BOOK: Elementary
Now you no longer need an internet connection to look up the latest Chinese grammar point that's giving you trouble. The AllSet Learning Grammar Wiki BOOK series brings to ebook format everything that made the Chinese Grammar Wiki the internet's #1 reference for Mandarin Chinese grammar:
Chinese Grammar Wiki
The AllSet Learning Chinese Grammar Wiki was originally developed as a resource for AllSet Learning clients, but has been made publicly available. It is a comprehensive resource for all Mandarin Chinese grammar issues, organized by difficulty level and thoroughly referenced.
Chinese Pronunciation Wiki
Following the model of the successful Chinese Grammar Wiki, the Chinese Pronunciation Wiki is another free, public resources that brings together all the information needed to conquer the pronunciation challenges posed by Mandarin Chinese. From pinyin to tones to regional accents, this wiki covers it all, and even has a great interactive pinyin chart.
AllSet Learning Online Store
AllSet Learning has a number of digital products available on its Online Store. Although the initial offerings are focused on pronunciation, future products will focus on other aspects of Chinese learning.
Whether you're studying on your own or with a teacher, AllSet Learning's Online Store has products that can help you improve quickly.
AllSet Learning Pinyin
The AllSet Learning Pinyin chart is the only pinyin chart for the iPad and iPhone to make full use of zooming and panning controls to make pinyin study easy and enjoyable. The interface is simple, clean, and ad-free. Every pinyin syllable has audio (just tap on a syllable to hear a native speaker recording), and toggling between the four different tones of Mandarin Chinese is easy.
More advanced students of Chinese will enjoy the pinyin chart's support for alternate phonetic representations of Mandarin Chinese. The app comes with support for the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for free, but other romanization systems like Wade-Giles, as well as alternate representations like zhuyin (used in Taiwan) are available by in-app purchase. The app is also available in multiple languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, Japanese, Thai, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
Chinese Picture Book Reader
The Chinese Picture Book Reader marks AllSet Learning's foray into visual Chinese language learning material on the iPad. Designed to be a learner-friendly alternative to Chinese children's books and boring adult materials, the Chinese Picture Book Reader combines eye-catching visuals with fun and non-traditional content.
The app features Chinese characters (simplified or traditional), pinyin, and English on every page. The learner can easily swap between them with a quick swipe on the text box. Audio is also provided for both Chinese and English on every page. All material is original, and both free and paid content is available through the app.
AllSet Product Newsletter

Many people have reached out to me lately and asked whether for-profit businesses are allowed under MMRSA. The answer is most certainly YES. MMRSA explicitly allows for-profit entities to apply for licenses.
However, for-profit commercial cannabis activity does not become lawful under MMRSA until licensees hold both a local and state license. Meaning, you cannot operate for-profit until you obtain a state license. State licenses won't begin to be issued until approximately January 1, 2018. As such, until January 1, 2018, cultivators, manufacturers, dispensaries, etc. cannot operate for-profit.
Until a state license is acquired (or at least until a state application is submitted), cultivators, dispensary operators, etc. must continue to comply with the CUA/SB420 under the non-profit model.
If you have any questions regarding MMRSA compliance, or would like assistance in acquiring a local cultivation, manufacturing, or dispensary permit, please feel free to contact me at (951) 387-4982 or by using the contact form below.

Christ Centred, Character Building, Creation Based
Teaching Children from a Biblical Worldview, all the way from Preschool to University
Grasta Christian School is an independent, fee paying, faith school based in Dundalk in Co Louth. We have been offering a Christian education to children between the ages of three and eighteen since 1993. During this time we have been privileged to share the formative years of many children from different backgrounds, nationalities and cultures and, we believe, have added great value to their young lives.
At Grasta Christian School we have always identified our role as being an extension of the Christian home and we have worked hard to engender a positive, encouraging, familiar atmosphere where relationships are nurtured.
Our school is now divided into two distinct learning centres, pre-school through to Infants and Juniors through to the Seniors. Each learning centre operates independently, as a class would in a mainstream school. All learning centres come together for times of worship and assembly. Each of our learning centres has always catered for a wider age range than just one academic year because the children work at their own pace, albeit under close supervision.
At Grasta Christian School we insist on the highest academic and moral standards. We have been so proud to see the all around excellence of those who have left our senior learning centre to head off to University or to undertake other courses and qualifications. High standards of achievement through the ACE curriculum, continual love and encouragement from our dedicated staff, combined with a steady input of the Word of God and adherence to a strict code of conduct have always paid great dividends in the young lives entrusted to our care.

A reasoned first take on Apple's AirPods from David Sparks, aka MacSparky. His take confirms my expectation that they won't work for me, as the current EarPods that Apple ships with every iPhone fall out of my ear with the slightest movement of my head, so I never use 'em. Plus, I like something that has a little noise reduction, if not noise cancellation, so I can block out the annoying chatter on the subway.
I'm still bullish on the tech, though, specifically Apple's W1 chip, which improves pairing and wireless sound quality. I have personally tried the new BeatsX wireless headphones, which also feature the W1 chip, and will probably get a pair of those when they're available.

Lanzhou Painted Pottery Museum Opens
The Lanzhou Painted Pottery Museum (兰州彩陶博物馆 Lánzhōu cǎitáo bówùguǎn) opened on 28 November 2011. It is located in the 'Golden City Pass' Culture and Customs Quarter on the north bank of the Yellow River, near White Pagoda Hill Park (map). Chinese news story here. Photos here.
Originating in Shaanxi Province, the local variety of Chinese opera is Qínqiāng Xìqǔ (秦腔戏曲). You will come across locals singing Qínqiāng in the parks, and there are more formal performances in the afternoons in the teahouse at Huáng Miào which sound like this:
Now you can find out more about this regional Chinese opera by visiting the new Qinqiang Opera Museum in Lanzhou, on the north bank of the Yellow River. It is part of the ever-developing Lanzhou 'Golden City Pass' Culture and Customs Quarter (兰州金城关文化风情区 Lánzhōu Jīnchéngguān Wénhuà Fēngqíng Qū). It is good to finally see this area taking shape. It certainly looks impressive at night, but up until now there hasn't been a great deal to see and do there.
Read more about it here and here.
Not being in Lanzhou these days, I won't have a chance to visit this museum in the near future. So, if you do visit, please comment below.

SINCE NOVEMBER, Edward Stanley Harris has been paying Philadelphia Traffic Court $100 per month on a bill of $1,811.50 for tickets issued 17 years ago - which the court has admitted aren't even his.
He's paying them off because, he says, a Traffic Court judge said he'd arrest him if he didn't.
Harris, a producer at CN8 Sports, has never been inside a prison cell, and he'd like to keep it that way. So he's writing those monthly checks to Traffic Court.
But he says it's not fair.
Gee, ya think?
This guy's story is one of the wackiest ones I've ever heard, with twists, turns, infuriating judges and - wait for it - a long-lost twin.
If this weren't Philly, you'd assume Harris made up his story.
Alas, this is Philly.
It all started on Aug. 8, 1967, when Edward Stanley Harris and his twin brother, Edwin Shelby Harris, were born. Some might question the wisdom of a mother giving her twin sons, who share the same birth date and home address, such similar names.
At least the kids weren't identical.
All was well until the period between October 1990 and May 1991, when Edwin received eight traffic tickets, on three separate occasions, for moving violations.
In September 1991, Edwin pleaded guilty in Traffic Court to the violations and was ordered to pay $1,501.
Edwin never paid. Over the next 17 years, he fell on hard times, drifted South and stayed in touch with Edward only sporadically.
In the fall of 1992, PennDOT's driver-licensing bureau notified Edward that his license would be suspended for nonpayment of tickets. Realizing that PennDOT had confused him with his twin, Edward went to Philadelphia Traffic Court to straighten things out. The court wrote PennDOT, confirming that the tickets belonged to Edwin, not Edward.
Thankfully, PennDOT withdrew the suspension threat.
Nonetheless, between November 1992 and June 2007, the routine repeated itself, like a scene from "Groundhog Day":
Every year or so, PennDOT re-discovered those same, unpaid tickets of Edwin's, decided they belonged to Edward, and threatened to suspend Edward's license. Each time, Edward returned to Traffic Court, and the suspension threat got lifted.
So Edward assumed the same annoying scenario would repeat itself last Nov. 21, when he took his latest license-suspension notice before Traffic Court Judge Willie Adams. According to Edward, Adams wouldn't listen to his saga or review the copious paperwork that Edward supplied to support his innocence.
Instead, Adams ordered Edward to pay off the tickets - the costs, with fees, had grown to $1,811.50 - at a rate of $100 a month. Edward filed a petition to appeal the decision but also started paying the monthly fee, since, he said, Adams threatened an arrest if he didn't.
Last Thursday, during Edward's appeal hearing at the Criminal Justice Center, the payment order against him was withdrawn. The sympathetic clerk there suggested that Edward go to Traffic Court to get his money back, as it's the only entity that can straighten things out.
And "Groundhog Day" began again.
OK, so it's understandable that PennDOT confused Edward and Edwin the first time. The guys share similar first names, and their middle initials, last name and birth dates are identical. They even shared the same address back in 1991, when they lived at home with their mom.
But there's no excuse for PennDOT's incompetence since then, nor Traffic Court's. As for Judge Adams, his actions are just baffling.
"I am very, very pissed," says Edward, now 40, who estimates that, over the last 17 years, he has made 20 trips to Traffic Court and has lost close to $3,000 in court fees and missed time from work.
"This could be solved if someone felt like fixing it," says Edward, who also has asked City Council members for help, to no avail. "I can't get anyone to care. My biggest fear is that I'll be pulled over for a broken taillight and someone will say my license is suspended and I'll lose my job," which routinely requires him to drive CN8 vehicles.
A staff person for Traffic Court's administrative judge, Bernice DeAngelis, said 10 days ago that the judge would look into Edward's plight. But despite my repeated calls to DeAngelis last week, only silence has come from her 8th and Spring Garden locale.
Nor could I reach Edward's brother, Edwin, at his last known phone number, to ask if he plans to pay off those old tickets any time soon. Y'know, given the nonsense they've caused his twin.
Then again, PennDOT and Philadelphia Traffic Court have had 17 years to fix this for Edward. Instead they keep going after him like he's his brother's keeper.
Or his brother's ATM.
"The people in Traffic Court do their best, but PennDOT is a bloodless bureaucracy, devoid of compassion," says Norristown lawyer and driver's-license expert Basil Beck III, whom I called for advice on Edward's behalf. "This guy needs a lawyer."
And a big, fat apology.

The Great Cloth Diaper Change
Today I am participating in a fun, green mama event. Actually, you don't have to be a green mama to participate in it today, you just have to be a cloth diaper mama!
You may have heard of the
or you may not have. I actually didn't pay much attention to it until the past couple of days ago, even though I kept seeing things about it here and there.
So what is
? It is basically a get together that happens all over the world between cloth diaper mamas. It's like one giant party for cloth babies and dedicated poop washin' mamas. On April 26, 2014 at 11am (your time), everyone changes a cloth diaper as a fun representation of all the good that cloth diapers can do. We're showing just how easy and manageable (and fun) cloth diapers really are.
Last year over 15 countries participated with 182 qualifying locations bringing in 8,301 cloth diapers changed at once. This number goes into the Guinness world book of records and each year I personally hope it continues to break the previous years record.
For more information and to view the facts listed above, please visit
The Great Cloth Diaper Change.
You can also find a location near you!
This is really for me, a fun time to meet and mingle with other mamas who have similar interests as me. It's a day to hang out with my two best friends and relish in the cute fluff that we all have come to love and know. It's a day for our babies to play outside and meet other babies. I owe a huge shout out to my friend Jess at
for introducing me to cloth and for helping me find my place in this fun, fluffy world! This girl is pretty awesome and is one person I'd LOVE to meet. Make sure to check her blog out!
For more information on cloth diapers, please visit my popular (yay and thank you) post:

Our Case studies in 2016
What is a college planner? What do they do? There are several college planners out there and many people may think that we are all the same. We are not. We are different.
We guide families and students through the college selection process and introduce college options they never considered or thought possible. We also place a strong emphasis on affordability. It's one thing to help a student find a college, but finding a college that is also affordable presents a separate and unique set of challenges.
What good is gaining acceptance into your ideal college if the costs ultimately keep you from attending? What if that same college provided scholarships and discounts?
CASE STUDY - "I don't think we can afford an out-of-state college."
The Morgan Family
We met with the Morgan family in September of 2013. The family had lived in Southern California for 15 years before moving to Austin, TX in August of 2012. Their son Max was really focused on returning to California to attend college and his initial list of schools included six in California. He was wanting a college environment where long boarding was part of the culture. Mom and Dad were concerned about the out of state costs at public colleges in California and that they made too much money to receive financial aid from colleges, period. They were also concerned about Max's lack of major choice as both Mom and Dad graduated from the University of Michigan with business degrees.
CASE STUDY - "I can't send a student to college on a teacher's salary."
The Sanders Family
The Sanders Family came to us in the fall of 2015. Their daughter, an aspiring author, had high hopes of attending an amazing college but understood that her family's financial circumstances limited her choices. We looked at Danielle's majors and our college selection program provided her with college options that had the majors she was looking for and the potential for aid that the family needed.
Danielle supplied the hard work and determination. We provided guidance and research. Here are the results. Based on our successful appeal for more aid, Danielle will attend Rollins College in the fall of 2016.
CASE STUDY - "I make too much to get aid, but not enough to afford an expensive college."
The Vaughn Family
We met the Vaughn family in early 2015. Their son, Pete, had high hopes of attending an elite college, but Mom and Dad could not afford the elite price. With an older student already in college, and a younger sister not far behind, Mom and Dad were feeling the pressure.
We helped Pete focus on his majors and offered great college selections that were a match to his academics and career goals. His favorite college, Wake Forest, came up a little short. However, an appeal strategy showing competing offers brought an additional $8500 a year to the award letter, putting Wake Forest within reach. Pete will attend Wake Forest in the Fall of 2016.
CASE STUDY - "My student is homeschooled and young for his grade level. We also make too much money but have 4 kids to send to college."
The Pinkerton Family
We met the Pinkerton Family in the Spring of early 2015 with so many questions. They had concerns that homeschooling their children would limit their college choices. Roger, their student, was also young for his grade level and they were not sure if he was ready for college just yet. With 4 kids, they also knew that they had to plan sooner rather than later. We helped Mom and Dad position their finances to qualify them for an additional $25,000 in need based aid. We also helped Roger research his career and college options. An appeal strategy resulted in an additional 3,000 per year from Berry College.

3 Horizons
"3 Horizons" is a way of thinking about your product portfolio in different time frames: The process you need to run the company's current cash cow is very different from how you conceive and launch the next cash cow for 3 years down the road. The concept is originally by Geoffrey Moore. Corinna learned most of the 1-pager's content from a fantastic talk by Markus Andrezak. (All mistakes are hers, not his.)Get PDF
Never miss a 1-pager – Subscribe to our free newsletter!
Content of the 1-pager:
Consider future innovations as well as current products in your portfolio –
Secure your company's growth
Horizon 1: Run things smoothly (now – 12 months)
Horizon 1 focusses on what is earning
the company money right now. You want things to
be stable, run smoothly and to improve the process. Agile and Lean both target this timeframe.
Horizon 2: Invalidate solutions (12 – 36 months)
Horizon 2 tries to come up with what will
make the company money in the future. This is a messy, creative process that is usually neither well understood nor well received by people tasked with Horizon 1 duties. When H2 people talk to H1 people without the different time frames and strategies being clear, H1 people will try to protect stability and fend off H2 ideas as "crazy" or "impossible".
Horizon 3: Invalidate problems (36 – 72 months)
Horizon 3 is more important for big
companies than for small ones. It concentrates on creating options for future growth e.g. by strategic partnerships or hiring.

California Bike-Bus Bill SB-530 (Pedicabs) Signed in to Law By Governor Jerry Brown
Law lays the framework for local control, enhanced safety standards and the consumption of alcohol aboard bike-buses.
SACRAMENTO, CA – California Governor, Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed SB 530 (Pedicabs) into law while pedaling on OFF The CHAIN Bike Bus Tours 15-passenger Bike Bus. Senate Bill 530, which was authored by Senator Richard Pan (D-Sacramento), provides the necessary clarity the bike bus industry was seeking. Legislators from both sides of the aisle worked together to pass this bill because of its broad support for small business and its economic impact that supports numerous industries. The signing of this bill is proof that government is successfully pedaling California forward.
"With the support of Governor Brown, Senator Pan, local law enforcement and leadership from both parties, we are now in the fortunate position to be able to grow our small business. With our promising and exciting business model, our vision of operating an amusing way for individuals to participate in an interactive, fun, social activity in the city they love is now a reality." said OFF The CHAIN Bike Bus Tours co-owner, Todd Sebastian.
OFF The CHAIN Bike Bus Tours, who was the sponsor of Senate Bill 530, was founded in 2014 by Todd Sebastian and Jason Blessinger. They selected their hometown of Sacramento as their first Bike-Bus location. Along with a mission of fun, OFF The CHAIN Bike Bus Tours is dedicated to the local community and continually seeks to cultivate partnerships with various businesses. As a result of such partnerships, economic impact is pedaled directly to numerous businesses, creating a win-win environment for everyone involved!
"We searched worldwide for the ultimate bike-bus and performed an extensive review process. We wanted to ensure that our brand of bike buses where of the highest level of quality, ensuring the utmost safety. We are proud to represent a brand of unparalleled "Luxury" bike-buses. With the passing of SB 530, we are excited for expansion and working with multiple cities across this great State of California." said OFF The CHAIN Bike Bus Tours co-owner, Jason Blessinger.

These days one can frequently read about wordclouds created with R, initiated by the release of the wordcloud package by Ian Fellows on July 23rd. So here I am to put in my two cents.
I thought about creating a wordcloud of a complete blog history, so I build a script that connects to a MySQL database and grabs all published posts and pages. All articles are combined in an huge text, that, when purged from tags and special chars, is visualized as a wordcloud:
[cc lang="rsplus" lines="-1" file="pipapo/R/wordpress-wordcloud.R"][/cc]
Enough code, here is the result for my slight blog:
Smart image, isn't it? Unfortunately it takes about 30 secs to generate it, otherwise it would be cool to create such a cloud live, for example using rApache.
4 Comments
VERY cool - thank you for this post!
BTW, it might be worth removing some of the "that" "this" etc words, using the tm package…
Cheers, Tal
[…] passada me deparei com um post interessante do Martin Scharm sobre como fazer wordcloud no R em um dos blogs que leio com frequencia, o R […]
Very cool. 2 followups: How did you shape the cloud to be round? When I generate my cloud, the words are very spread out, any tips?
Hi Ray, thanks for your interest :) Unfortunately, I have no idea what might be wrong with your code. Especially if you do not publish it.. Moreover, it's been some time that I developed this small piece of code. Thus, the R packages probably have changed their behavior? I hope someone else is able to help you.

"Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see."
--Elton John, "Bernie Taupin"
I didn't know who I was or what I was doing on this planet. Yes, I was making money, living, working, having "fun," but I felt that I was missing something. Something didn't compute, connect, add up. I knew that life could be different, better, more loving. I could have more joy, more fun; not everything had to be work (work work, marriage work, friend work, family work), or perhaps work could be fun. I knew that there was something more out there, something amorphous that I couldn't put my hand on but that was real nonetheless, within my grasp yet somehow out of reach.
I don't mean to say that I was an unhappy person. I was a lawyer, an assistant district attorney for a while, and I was winning my cases, showboating at trials. Nevertheless, I had more knowledge of horrendous acts than anyone should. Was I helping to create "justice"? I loved the theatricality of the trials, but I didn't feel good about locking anyone up. I then produced commercials to get away from the criminal element -- well, not too far away. I was helping advertising agencies hawk products in a way that wasn't truthful and shove useless, harmful or plain stupid stuff that consumers didn't need. Somehow advertisers knew how to hit that subliminal spot, and bingo! Sold! And I helped them. Was that who I was, a money creator for whom the ends justified the means, and for whom the ends meant my bankbook?
I knew that I wasn't any of the above, but the concept of doing what one loves is so askew for most, so I thought, why should it be any different for me? Follow your passion. Find your bliss. My dad was a violinist, a writer. Proudly, happily, he told me how he and his partner Danny almost sold a play to George Abbott, but Danny passed, and my dad let the writing go. He had a family and a job with New York Transit. He pushed me to get into ballet, cried when I left to become a cheerleader, and loved to hear me sing, to express myself. I loved putting on shows, entertaining. I made up my own books and did reports for my teachers. If they knew, they didn't let on, but I'm sure they knew.
I knew what I didn't want in my life, but what I wanted eluded me. I was a lawyer, a producer, a daughter, sometimes a wife, a girlfriend, a friend, a skier, a tennis player, a traveler, a writer, a painter. There were numerous roles I played, multiple masks I wore. When I was in college and someone asked who I was, I would answer, "A child of God," a flip answer, I thought, because I really didn't know. Now I realize that the part of me that knows was doing the answering, and it was as far from flip as you can get. We are made up of many facets, sides, elements -- call it what you want -- different, divergent personalities, colors, sometimes in harmony, sometimes warring, sometimes coexisting, blending. But at the core, what is there? That's what I realized I needed to know.
I did a journey to the East. I went to find the holy city of Benares in India. I never got there. I did spend quite a bit of time in Afghanistan, where someone offered to buy me for I don't know how many rugs. I spoke with people, even though we didn't use verbal language. I saw myself in an old man in Turkey, in a charioteer statue in Delphi, in Tehran at a Baha'i gathering. I explored my roots in Italy with friends and family. I bounced around to Spain, Paris, Morocco, Mexico. I ended up with tuberculosis, watched my operations in out-of-body experiences, thought everyone did, studied at home and thankfully got cured. It's a massive learning experience about life, appreciation and gratitude when washing your hair becomes the activity of the day because you're too tired for anything else. I had a dog, a pet monkey, people around me who loved me, but who was I? I still didn't know.
I decided to make some money, and I did. Eventually I had all the toys, the jewels, the luxury trips, far cries from my previous travels in Volkswagon vans, buses and trains. In one of my more adventurous travels, I was visiting pyramids in Mexico for an anthropology class and climbed to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, where someone was selling ice cold Cokes. I marveled at how he got the freezer compartment up there. I woke up on a bus alongside chickens and other livestock, with an enormous, enchanted cactus forest outside my window. It was a surreal experience.
Socrates said: "An unexamined life is not worth living." I was examining and living but still no answers.

Monday Exclusive: The Webb Sisters cover Tracy Chapman
April 18th, 2011 — 05:15 pm
and Leonard Cohen, and Judy Collins
A Cover Lay Down exclusive, today, thanks to some particularly savvy promo folks, who stoked my ego by naming me their No. 1 choice for an exclusive first peek at a new video from The Webb Sisters, in the hopes that it would lure me out of my recent hiatus. What can I say: I'm human, I've been itching to get to something more substantive and new since yesterday's bird-themed coverfolk set marked our triumphant return to blogging, and I'm also on school vacation, looking out at a week of sand, surf, and solitude rather than the usual hectic homelife.
But the British-born sibling pair are absolutely worth coming out of hiding for, with a preference for lush, two-instrument arrangements that show strong influences from both the British and US folkpop traditions, and deep, beautiful, soaring, often heartbreaking brit harmonies, with the strong accents of their native Kent, that pull you in no matter the label you're looking for. The combination of Hattie's harp and mandolin and Charley's guitar and piano is marvelous, at once ancient and modern. And their take on Tracy Chapman's Baby Can I Hold You, which I am proud to introduce to the world, is comfortable and intimate, played on a couch with just acoustic rhythm guitar and what appears to be some sort of mandolin or oud. Check it out:
The Webb Sisters have hit the radar before, too. Touted as rising stars of the next generation by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Judy Collins, and Princess Anne, hand-picked to lend their talents for studio recordings and tours for Cohen, Sting, Natalie Maines, and Natalie Merchant, their version of If It Be Your Will – recorded live on tour in 2008, introduced by Cohen himself, with whom the sisters Webb have toured regularly – is a tour de force of femmefolk simplicity, stunningly fragile, delicate, icy, and prayerful, with harp and soaring vox and – barely – a guitar, that gently fills fragments of sparse silences. And the fuller, more contemporary, almost countrypop production which supports their appearance on mixed-bag 2008 Collins tribute Born To The Breed makes for a stand-out track which salvages a song I once considered too treacly to be covered effectively.
The Webb Sisters' next full-length album, Savages, will drop on May 9th; promisingly, it was produced with multiple Grammy-winning Beatles A&R man Peter Asher's guiding hand at the helm. Direct Current has described it as both a continuation and expansion of their previous work "from the more traditional-based U.K. folk…into more Americanized rootsy pop," with both drive and "a lighter than air delicacy" throughout. Sounds like we're in for a thing of beauty, indeed. Check out today's bonus tracks, and then learn more at the Webb Sisters' website.
- The Webb Sisters: If It Be Your Will (orig. Leonard Cohen)
(recorded live on tour, 2008; available on the Comes In Twos EP)
- The Webb Sisters: Fortune Of Soldiers (orig. Judy Collins)

Tracking shares of Investment Grade Floating Rate Vaneck ETF (FLTR), we have noted that the SuperTrend is currently higher than recent stock price levels. Active traders might be following the signal in order to determine if the stock has entered into a buying territory.
When looking at technical analysis, one of the leading concepts is that of the trend. Chartists are constantly looking to identify trends to help determine which way a stock price is moving. Trends may not always be easy to spot, but they can be highly useful when identified. When looking at the stock market, an example of an upward trend is generally classified as a stock price that over time keeps reaching higher highs and higher lows. On the flip side, a downward trend is usually identified by spotting a stock that has been hitting lower lows and lower highs. Defining trends may take the novice trader some time to figure out, but learning how to properly study charts may help bring in steady profits in the future.
The 14-day ADX for Investment Grade Floating Rate Vaneck ETF (FLTR) is currently 22.30. Many chart analysts believe that an ADX reading over 25 would suggest a strong trend. A reading under 20 would suggest no trend, and a reading from 20-25 would suggest that there is no clear trend signal. The ADX was created by J. Welles Wilder to help determine how strong a trend is. In general, a rising ADX line means that an existing trend is gaining strength. The opposite would be the case for a falling ADX line.
Investors may use various technical indicators to help spot trends and buy/sell signals. Presently, Investment Grade Floating Rate Vaneck ETF (FLTR) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 33.25. The CCI was developed by Donald Lambert. The assumption behind the indicator is that investment instruments move in cycles with highs and lows coming at certain periodic intervals. The original guidelines focused on creating buy/sell signals when the reading moved above +100 or below -100. Traders may also use the reading to identify overbought/oversold conditions.
Investors may be looking to compare the current stock price of Investment Grade Floating Rate Vaneck ETF (FLTR) to some of its moving averages. After a recent check, the 200-day MA is resting at 25.09, and the 50-day is 25.20. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators that simply take the average price of a stock over a specific period of time. Moving averages can be very useful for identifying peaks and troughs. They may also be used to help the trader figure out proper support and resistance levels for the stock.
Checking in on the numbers for Investment Grade Floating Rate Vaneck ETF (FLTR), we can see that the company has a Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R of -37.50. In general, if the reading goes above -20, the stock may be considered to be overbought. On the other end of the spectrum, if the indicator goes under -80, this may show the stock as being oversold. The Williams Percent Range or Williams %R is a technical indicator that was developed to measure overbought and oversold market conditions.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a highly popular momentum indicator used for technical analysis. The RSI can help display whether the bulls or the bears are currently strongest in the market. The RSI may be used to help spot points of reversals more accurately. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder. As a general rule, an RSI reading over 70 would signal overbought conditions. A reading under 30 would indicate oversold conditions. As always, the values may need to be adjusted based on the specific stock and market. RSI can also be a valuable tool for trying to spot larger market turns. Investment Grade Floating Rate Vaneck ETF (FLTR) has a 14-day RSI of 51.45, the 7-day is at 53.74, and the 3-day is resting at 52.99.
Investors might be searching high and low for the next great stock to trade. Professional investors may have their game plans honed and ready to roll, but amateurs may be fighting to stay above water in the markets. Leaping into the equity markets without any preparation may lead to quick losses. Keeping track of all the ins and outs of daily market activity can be exhausting, and investors may be best served if they are able to focus on the essentials and rise above the noise. Although successful trading might be measured differently from one person to another, the general principles of winners are generally the same. Snatching profits from the market may seem like an easy task when stocks are soaring, but things can always snap back in the blink of an eye. Investors who are able to prepare for any situation may find themselves ahead of the game when the inevitable bear market scenario rears its head.

Palm Sunday & the Principle of Right Action – March 29, 2015
At the Science of Mind Spiritual Center Los Angeles, you will hear relevant messages, by Rev. Pam MacGregor, that you can apply to everyday life. This month's theme is Spiritual Mind Treatment: Anyone Can Do It!.
A life overflowing with love, health, joy, peace, abundance, creativity–it sounds wonderful in theory, but how do we manifest it in practice? The answer is Spiritual Mind Treatment. Learn what it is and how do it as Rev. Pam takes you through the 5 Steps of Spiritual Mind Treatment each week this month. It's easy. Anyone can do it!
The topic on March 29, 2015 was Palm Sunday & the Principle of Right Action. When we look at the life of Jesus the Christ, we see that negation had no place in his consciousness. Not the challenges of his every day life nor the dark night of the soul he faced during his 40 days and nights in the desert deterred him from trusting in divine right action. And just as that trust bore fruit for him, so does it bear fruit for us.

Mortgage contracts in Canada have a specified term that can range from 6 months to 25 years. However, most homeowners choose a term of 5 years. When a mortgage matures, a homeowner has the option to switch to another lender for lower rates and better conditions. Most Canadians renew with their current mortgage lender because they are not aware of the option to switch or they fear leaving their current lender in case they are not approved.
Most homeowners' circumstances have changed for the better since they obtained their present mortgage loan, whether its increased income, or different objectives, or family structure. A re-evaluation of situation is highly desirable, particularly when one is considering extending a financial commitment.

I'd like to query for a specific object stored in the mobile data service, using the REST API. I'm trying to use the following POST method to include a query filtered by a predicate:
POST /data/rest/v1/apps/{app_id}/query
I'm unable to find the documentation for the predicate syntax and usage.
Here is a snippet of the JSON object array I'm going to query:
"status": "success",
"bookmark": "{\"startkey\":\"Accounts\",\"startkey_docid\":\"a33208b2ad071f63dcb64029b73c8473018c68de\"}",
"object": [
"className": "Accounts",
"attributes": {
"accountNumber": "12345678901202",
"accountName": "Deluxe Savings",
"accountBalance": "949.06",
"lastTenTrans": [
"transDate": "10/01/2013",
"TransDesc": "EFT Payroll Deposit ARGO Industries",
"transType": "Deposit",
"accountNumber": "12345678901202",
"transAmt": "$100.00"
I want to pull the Accounts object matching the query where attributes.accountNumber = X, where X is some dynamic value.
Please help me understand how to construct a valid query predicate, thanks!
Answer by Belinda Vennam (2025) | Jul 07, 2014 at 02:58 PM
Hey ddbaron,
Here's a quick example of how to use the predicate: (I have some grocery items, one of which has the name attribute of Apples)
{ "predicate":{ "attributes":{"name":"Apples"} } }
I believe you could do something like this: { "predicate":{ "attributes":{"accountNumber":"X"} } }
You could also do more complex predicates, using the $or or $and operators: { "predicate":{ "$or":[ { "objectId":"x" }, { "objectId":"y" } ] } }
Thank you Belinda, this solves my immediate question. I have been able to write a Worklight adapter (servers-side javascript) making calls to the Mobile Data REST API. The query now works. Looking forward to the addition of documentation for the query options, like the predicate. Thanks again!
Here's the Worklight Adapter code for those interested:
function getAccountDetails(account) { if (account == undefined || account == '') { account = '12345678901202'; }
predicate = '{ "predicate":{ "attributes":{"accountNumber":"'+account+'"} } }';
//WL.Logger.error("predicate: "+predicate);
var input = {
method : 'post',
returnedContentType : 'json',
headers: {'IBM-Application-Secret':secret},
contentType:'application/json; charset=UTF-8',
content: predicate,
path : 'data/rest/v1/apps/'+appID+'/query'
var all = WL.Server.invokeHttp(input);
return all.object[0];
Answer by Belinda Vennam (2025) | Jul 04, 2014 at 11:02 AM
Hey ddbaron,
Have you had an opportunity to check out our swagger documentation for Mobile Cloud Services REST APIs on Bluemix? It's interactive, too! This should have the information you're looking for:
Yes I have used it, I did not see the documentation for the query predicate that I asked about. Please point out if you see it and I missed it. The best answer will provide two things: where to find the documentation for the query predicate, and a suggestion on how to solve the scenario I outlined. Thank you
Indeed this interactive tool is very handy for DBaaS on Bluemix
As ddbaron says,
There's is not much information about the queries, the interactive tool is cool but kinda useless if you don't have a document on how to work with the query predicates.
If any of you have a link with more info I would really appreciate it.
No one has followed this question yet.
