Are you ready to kick the tires and see dotCMS running in application containers? If so, it can be as simple as running a single Docker command, or you can dive into an example that's closer to real-world production use of application containers with a full Docker Compose example which starts multiple services and persists the dotCMS data in Docker volumes.
Inital Setup
Before running these examples, you need to ensure that you have all the necessary software and configuration on your computer, as outlined below.
1. Install Docker and Docker Compose
These examples assume that you already have Docker and Docker-Compose already installed. If you don't already have Docker and Docker-Compose installed, please install both applications using the instructions in the Docker install documentation for your platform.
2. Ensure you have enough system resources
Keep in mind that each container has at least one running process which means that you need to make sure that enough CPU and memory are available for your containers to work well. It is recommended that at least 4 CPU cores be made available to Docker for usage in the containers. Each of the reference examples indicate how much memory you will need to run them safely. If you want to run all of the Docker containers on a single node, you should have at least 6GB of memory available to Docker.
For production use, you should perform capacity planning as you would without the applications being containerized.
3. Configure Docker for Windows to Use Linux Images
The dotCMS Docker images are Linux based. If your Docker host machine is some Linux variant or OSX you do not need to change anything. However if you are using Docker for Windows you must configure it to run using Linux containers.
4. Set up Host to Run Elasticsearch Containers
For anything other than casual use or testing, it is recommended that you run dotCMS application containers with an external Elasticsearch container. To prepare your environment for hosting external ElasticSearch containers, please follow these directions for setting up your Docker Host machine: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html#docker-cli-run-prod-mode
Example 1: Simple dotCMS Instance Running in Docker
docker run -itp 8080:8080 dotcms/dotcms:latest
Note - if you are running against the 'latest' tag, you might need to pull the latest version of the image, e.g.
docker pull dotcms/dotcms:latest
The example docker run command pulls down the latest released dotCMS Docker image from the public dotCMS Docker repository and automatically starts dotCMS in the container. The functionality of this dotCMS instance is essentially the same as if you were to download dotCMS to your local drive, uncompress the dotCMS release tar or zip file, and run the dotCMS startup script; however when you use Docker you are running a preinstalled dotCMS with all of its needed dependencies.
You should now be able to access your local dotCMS instance with this URL:
Persisting the Data
In this example, the data is not persisted after the Docker container is shutdown. This is expected, since application containers are intentionally isolated from the file system and Docker will not persist data outside of the container unless explicitly instructed to do so.
If you wish to persist data outside the Docker container, you can do this in one of two ways:
- Add the Docker
-voption to map the data folders to Docker volumes.
- For more information on Docker volumes and the
-voption, please see the Docker documentation.
- For more information on Docker volumes and the
- Use the
docker-composecommand to both map Docker volumes and start Docker containers.
- Please see below for a full docker-compose example.
Example 2: Multiple Containers With Persistent Data
This example demonstrates how to easily both set up Docker volumes and start other containerized services that work with dotCMS using the docker-compose application.
1. Create a Docker Compose File
To use Docker Compose you will need a docker-compose.yml file. You may download a sample docker-compose.yml file to a local folder, or create a local file named
docker-compose.yml and copy the following text into the file:
version: '3.5'
image: dotcms/dotcms:latest
- "8080:8080"
"CMS_HEAP_SIZE": '1g'
"CMS_JAVA_OPTS": '-XX:+PrintFlagsFinal'
"PROVIDER_DB_DNSNAME": 'db'
- db
- cms-shared:/data/shared
- cms-local:/data/local
#- [serverpath]/license.dat:/data/local/dotsecure/license/license.dat
#- [serverpath]/license.zip:/data/shared/assets/license.zip
- db_net
image: dotcms/postgres:latest
- dbdata:/data/pg
- db_net
Optional: Loading license on startup
If you want dotCMS to startup as licensed, you must map a valid dotCMS license file into a volume available to the dotCMS service. To do this:
- Contact dotCMS for a dotCMS license file (license.dat or license.zip).
- Find the commented lines in the "volumes:" section of the docker-compose.yml file (above).
- Uncomment and set the appropriate path to the license file.
2. Pull Docker Images Locally
From the directory where your docker-compose.yml file is located, run the following command:
docker-compose pull
This will make sure you have the latest versions of the Docker images that are used by the compose file.
3. Run Docker Compose
From the directory where your docker-compose.yml file is located, run the following command:
docker-compose up
In your terminal, you will see dotCMS and the other Docker containers starting up. The first time you run docker-compose with this file it may take several minutes to start, while dotCMS creates the database schema and imports the contents of the starter site into the database and index.
4. Access dotCMS
Once the startup process is complete, you can access the front end of dotCMS at
This example sets up the following resources using Docker Compose:
Application Containers
This example starts separate Docker containers for each the following applications:
- dotCMS
- Postgres (database)
Docker Volumes
In this example, data is persisted in multiple named Docker volumes. The following data is stored in each of the volumes:
|Data Stored
|dotCMS assets
|ElasticSearch indexes and other local files
|Postgres database files
What's Next?
Here we looked at a simple, two container example. If you are ready to see and experiment with more containers, you can checkout our other reference implementations. Each reference implemenation contains a readme file that explains how to run and clean up the example.

Background on the neighborhood:
Tel Baruch The upscale neighborhood founded in 1947, Many of the first residents were immigrants from Bulgaria. Tel-Baruch North apartment is on the independence, Northeast of Tel Aviv.. The neighborhood was named after ' Tel-Baruch College – On there. Mordechai (Marco) Joseph Ben Baruch (1872-1899), A poet, A teacher and journalist, Born in Turkey, But activists in history of the Jews in Bulgaria. He published in oplicistich in Bulgaria and was Zionist activist Operating in Algeria., Bulgaria, Egypt and Italy. Hovevei Zion had offered to raise an army to conquer the Jewish country..

Favorite Experience in Newport!
We've been visiting Newport for years, but the kayak tour definitely topped the list as THE FAVORITE experience we've ever had. Chessie and Brian guided us with a relaxed and easy manner. We'd never kayaked before, but we are going to take up a new hobby. If you get a chance to do this, do it!! You won't regret it!
Our kayaking adventure was awesome! The loading 'docks' for the kayaks made getting in and out so easy. The instructions were great on how to kayak and they had all the equipment you needed to stay dry if you wanted. Great views and information passed along as we went. Loved it!
Amazing Opportunity!
We live in a small town, and I had no idea my children would be able to have experiences that people in larger cities dream of having. They have had knowledgeable and kind instructors. I have never worried about my children when they were in the care of OBF instructors. Thanks for this incredible opportunity!
Incredible Program!
My son has not only learned skills to last him a lifetime but he has had fun doing it. He has made lasting friendships, developed confidence on the water and most importantly knows how to be safe. There is no better place to learn to sail or kayak and no better people to do it with!
Top Notch!
The equipment and introduction with check-in were top notch. Thank you for the experience and education on the various fishing boats and styles of the Newport harbor and the Yaquina Bay.
I Felt Like a Star!
I've only kayaked once before, but this experience has me hooked! We saw baby jelly fish, all sorts of diving birds, and Yaaaaassss Sea Lions!! They were out sun bathing, barking, and being generally adorable!! I couldn't believe how close we got! I felt like a star!
Knowledgeable & Friendly!
We had a wonderful time with Anya exploring Newport by water! Earlier is better because the wind often picks up in the afternoons! We live in Newport so having an activity in town was really awesome!
Nice Job!
Friendly staff, went out with just one other couple who had never kayaked. Guide was very helpful to them. Gave a good narrative of some of the local buildings and boats. They supplied waterproof pants and tops if needed.
I completed two sea kayak classes in 2017, and plan to attend another in 2018. I highly recommend the Oregon Boating Foundation, and my instructor Tom Murphy. You will be knowledgeable, confident, and competent when you're done.
Fun & Informative!
Just prepare… these instructors will transfer their life-long love of water sport into your kids' mind! They are also seriously helpful for age appropriate skill development.

Effective communication and amplification are key levers to making FSM a public issue, and can assist in mobilizing citizens to drive demand on treatment and in helping push officials and decision-makers towards effective implementation. Grantees heard from and interacted with communication and media experts to understand and strategize how to engage a wider audience with narratives that go beyond building toilets.
To shed light on the general lack of awareness among India's urban population, Dasra went out on the streets of Mumbai to ask people if they knew 'where their shit goes?'
Experts shared insights from their experiences with media campaigns on issues such as child trafficking, health and road safety – all of which can be applied to the sanitation sector in order to mainstream the invisible issue of FSM.
- Put the audience at the center: Communication strategy should emerge from an understanding of the target audience. Key questions like what do you want the person to feel? what is the behavior change you are striving to achieve? should be answered to build an effective campaign.
- Leverage data: Data is powerful and can help tell emotionally moving stories.
- Think of the action and arrive at a single simplified message: Problems need to be articulated simply, and distilled to what specific action you want the receiver of the message to take.
- Strategically engage with influencers: Decision-making can be influenced by peers and celebrities.
- Craft a compelling story: Compelling digital mediums are effective ways to congregate people with zero distribution costs; however a heavy subject like FSM needs to be conveyed in a compelling and succinct manner that would catch the eye of the attention-deficit internet audience.
- Behaviour Change Communication: Communications needs to aim at behavior change both on the demand side (the community / consumer) and on the supply side (government).
- Hit the ground running: There has been very little done around FSM communication. It is really a green field space, and we need to make the most of this opportunity.
Providing a fitting climax to the conversations around communication for FSM, two power-packed speakers delivered Ted-style
talks around their compelling work across sectors.
talks around their compelling work across sectors.
Georgia Arnold from MTV Staying Alive Foundation presents MTV SHUGA as a case study.
Sunita Narain from CSE talks about their work on air pollution as a case study.
The communication workshops provided partners an opportunity to think through communicating to a mass audience to bring FSM into public discourse and thus build momentum towards implementation and accountability.
This workshop enabled participants to think about their target audience and identify their motivations. The exercise encouraged groups to explore what they wished for their given target group to do or or feel.
This workshop encouraged participants to develop mechanisms to drive messages amongst their target group. This helped establish that objectives can be achieved from multiple angles, including health, environmental, economic, and more.

Algo Trading with REST API and Python | Part 3: Using the fxcmpy Python wrapper to connect to FXCM's REST API
Algo Trading with REST API and Python Series
- Part 1: Preparing your Computer
- Part 2 : Connecting to the REST API
- Part 3: Using the fxcmpy Python wrapper to connect to FXCM's REST API
- Part 4: Building and Backtesting an EMA Crossover Strategy
- Part 5: Developing a Live Strategy Template
Connecting to and using FXCM's REST API to build your trading algorithms has never been easier with the introduction of the fxcmpy Python wrapper. Establishing a connection, pulling prices, streaming data, and placing orders is a quick and simple process that even novice programmers can utilize.
In today's article we will be covering a step-by-step walk through of installing and using the main functions of the fxcmpy Python wrapper. In future tutorials, we will build off of this demonstration to create trading strategies that we can backtest and run in real-time, so stay tuned for more.
Installing the fxcmpy Python Wrapper
Installing the fxcmpy Python wrapper is quick, easy, and straightforward. If you've ever installed a Python package using the 'pip install' command, you're already familiar with the steps. Note that fxcmpy requires that you have already installed Python on your computer and is only compatible with Python 3.4 and later. If you need instructions on how to install Python, please visit our Preparing Your Computer article.
Pip Installation
The easiest way to install the fxcmpy Python Wrapper is using the 'pip install' command within Python. After installing Python, simply open a command line and enter:
pip install fxcmpy
All dependencies of the wrapper will automatically be installed during this process. Once complete, you will be ready to use the fxcmpy wrapper.
Note: It is suggested to regularly check for new versions of the fxcmpy wrapper as we continually aim to improve this product. To update, simply open a command prompt at any time and enter the following command:
pip install fxcmpy –upgrade
Preparing to Use the fxcmpy Wrapper
Getting an API Token
To connect to the API, you will need an API Token that you can create or revoke by logging into the FXCM Trading Station web platform with your Live or Demo account. For steps on creating your token, please see our Getting Started Guide.
Preparing Your Config File
In order to connect to the FXCM REST API via the fxcmpy Python wrapper, we will need to define a few settings about the connection and our credentials for logging in. It is highly recommended to store the API token in a configuration file which will allow us to keep your information separate from our algorithm's main code for security purposes.
To create a configuration file, we can utilize a simple text editor (such as notepad on Windows) and enter the following information:
log_level = error
log_file = PATH_TO_AND_NAME_OF_LOG_FILE
access_token = YOUR_FXCM_API_TOKEN
For this article, we will save this file as fxcm.cfg and will save it in the same directory as our main program so that we only need to pass the fxcm.cfg file name as a parameter when connecting to REST API.
Using the fxcmpy Python Wrapper
Creating a connection is very quick and easy with the fxcmpy Python wrapper. In one line we will establish our connection and be ready to send requests to place trades, get historical data, stream live data, and more. To do so, we'll import the fxcmpy wrapper, define our connection object, and pass in our configuration file and other parameters:
import fxcmpy
con = fxcmpy.fxcmpy(config_file='fxcm.cfg', server='demo')
Note: If you want to connect using your live account, simply set the server parameter equal to 'real'.
This process can take approximately 10 seconds to complete as the server authenticates your credentials.
Getting Instrument Names
In order to get historical pricing, it's important that you're able to see which instruments are available and which instruments you are currently subscribed to on your account. To view all instruments that you can subscribe to on your account, use the following method:
To view the instruments that you are currently subscribed to on your account, use the following method:
Note: You can only pull data/trade the instruments returned by the get_instruments_for_candles() method. If you want to trade an instrument that is not listed by this method, you can log into your account via the Trading Station Desktop or Trading Station Web platforms and subscribe to the instrument using the GUI.
Pulling Historical Prices
Now that we know which instruments we can use; the next step is to get historical data. There are a few different ways to pull historical data. Historical data, regardless of the method used to retrieve it, will be returned as a Pandas DataFrame object.
To get historical prices we will use the con.get_candles() method with different parameters. At minimum, we must pass in the instrument name and period.
Note: Available periods for pulling historical data are: 'm1', 'm5', 'm15', 'm30', 'H1', 'H2', 'H3', 'H4', 'H6', 'H8′,'D1', 'W1', or 'M1'
Getting historical prices by specifying only the time period
data = con.get_candles('GBP/JPY', period='D1')
Note: Specifying the period with no other parameters will return only the 10 most recent periods.
Getting historical prices by specifying the number of results
data = con.get_candles('EUR/USD', period = 'm1', number = 5)
Getting historical prices by specifying the start and end date
In order to specify dates, we will need to import the date datetime library and define our start and stop times:
import datetime as dt
start = dt.datetime(2018, 1, 1)
stop = dt.datetime(2018, 1, 30)
data = con.get_candles('EUR/USD', period = 'D1', start = start, stop = stop)
Streaming Real-time Prices
Streaming real-time prices with the fxcmpy wrapper is a very easy and straightforward process that can be accomplished with a few simple methods. First, we must subscribe to an instrument using the subscribe_market_data() method by passing in the instrument that we would like to subscribe to.
Once the subscription method has executed, the fxcmpy wrapper collects the streaming data in pandas DataFrame object, which can be assigned to a variable using the get_prices() method.
data = con.get_prices('EUR/USD')
Finally, once we have finished we can unsubscribe from the instrument using the unsubscribe_market_data() command.
Creating Orders
Executing orders using the fxcmpy wrapper is, just like all other functions, quite easy to do while remaining very flexible in the execution options available. This article won't be able to cover every single parameter; however, you can view the full documentation of the fxcmpy wrapper and its functionality here.
Checking Open Positions
Before placing new orders, it's always a good idea to get information on existing orders first. To do so, we can use the following command:
Creating Basic Market Orders
In order to create a basic market order, you must provide the instrument and the size of the order (in micro lots) as parameters to either the create_market_sell_order() or create_market_buy_order() methods.
con.create_market_buy_order('USD/JPY', (10)
con.create_market_sell_order('EUR/USD', (100)
Creating More Complex Market Orders
The fxcmpy wrapper also allows for the creation of more complex general market orders with the open_trade() method. A detailed description of the meaning of each parameter can be found in the FXCM REST API documentation.
Here, we will create a Good-Til-Canceled market order to buy 10k worth of GBP/JPY with a limit at the market price of 150.00:
con.open_trade(symbol = 'GBP/JPY', is_buy = True, rate = 105,
is_in_pips = False, amount = 10,
time_in_force = 'GTC', order_type = 'AtMarket',
limit = 150)
Creating and Modifying Entry Orders
Creating entry orders is similar to creating a market order. Instead of using the open_trade() method, we will instead use the create_entry_order() method. Similar to before, we will create a resting order to buy 10k worth of GBP/JPY at a rate of 105 with a limit set at the market price of 150.00.
con.create_entry_order(symbol = 'GBP/JPY', is_buy = True, amount = 10,
limit = 150, is_in_pips = False, time_in_force = 'GTC',
rate = 105)
To change an order you will need to get the order ID using the get_order_ids() method and pass this as a parameter, along with changes, into the change_order() or change_order_stop_limit() methods. Below, we will get the order ID of our last order and change the size of the order and limit:
id = con.get_order_ids()[-1]
con.change_order_stop_limit(order_id = id, limit = 140)
con.change_order(order_id = id, amount = 100, rate = 110)
To check on the changes we can use the get_orders() function:
Finally, to delete an entry order we will use the delete_order() method and pass in the corresponding Order ID:
Closing Executed Orders
Now that we have create and modified orders, the only thing left to do is to close out our existing orders. There are a number of ways to manage your open orders, starting with closing a single position. In order to close a single position, we will pass in the position ID into the get_open_position() method. This allows us to store the position as an object that we can then close.
pos = con.get_open_position(id)
Next, we can close all positions for a specific instrument. All that's needed is to pass in the instrument name as an argument to the close_all_for_symbol() method.
Finally, we can simply close all positions at the same time by using the close_all() method.
In Conclusion
This article is a good introduction to the basic functionality of the fxcmpy Python wrapper. This wrapper makes accessing and using the FXCM REST API a simple and easy process; however, we weren't able to cover all of the nuances in this article.

LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Ala. – A sad series of events has come to an end in Lauderdale County, and across the state line in Lawrence County, Tennessee. Sheriff's deputies with agencies in both counties confirm a man suspected of shooting his wife and two sons has taken his own life.
Charlie Monroe Woods, Sr. was suspected of shooting his wife and two sons on Friday morning at the family's home on Lauderdale County Road 130. The 49-year-old man then drove to a wooded area on New Mount Nebo Road in St. Joseph, Tennessee. There, deputies found him dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Earlier events
Around 10 a.m. three people were shot at 2751 Lauderdale County Road 130 in the Greenhill area. The Sheriff's Office says Elizabeth Janie Woods died at the scene, and was married to the suspect. The couple's two sons, Casey and Charles Bentley, were also shot and taken to Huntsville Hospital for surgery.
The two brothers are in their twenties, we understand.
The Sheriff's Office said the suspect, Charlie Woods, had threatened to harm other family members this morning by phone. Deputies say he hadn't caused trouble in the past, though. They had not been called to the home on County Road 130 before today.

Julie's Review: The Heiresses
Author: Sara ShepardSummary: You know the Saybrooks. Everyone does. Perhaps you've read a profile of them in People or have seen their pictures in the society pages of Vogue. Perhaps while walking along that choice block on Fifth Avenue, you've been tempted to enter the ornate limestone building with their family name etched into the pediment above the door. The only thing more flawless than a Saybrook's diamond solitaire is the family behind the jewelry empire. Beauties, entrepreneurs, debutantes, and style mavens, they are the epitome of New York City's high society. But being a Saybrook comes at a price;they are heirs not only to a dizzying fortune but also to a decades-old family curse. Tragedy strikes the prominent family yet again when thirty-four-year-old Poppy, the most exquisite Saybrook of them all, flings herself from the window of her TriBeCa office. Everyone is shocked that a woman who had it all would end her own life. Then her cousins receive an ominous threat: one heiress down, four to go. Was it suicide . . . or murder? In the aftermath of the tragedy, the remaining heiresses;Corinne, the perfectionist; Rowan, the workaholic; Aster, the hedonist; and Natasha, the enigma—wrestle with feelings of sadness, guilt, and, most of all, fear. Now they must uncover the truth about their family before they lose the only thing money can't buy: their lives. The Heiresses is a whip-smart mystery that simmers with the wicked sense of humor and intrigue that made Sara Shepard's number one New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series a must-read, must-watch phenomenon. ~powells.com

Review: I haven't ever read or watched Ms. Shepard's Pretty Little Liars, so I was not biased when I requested this book. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed The Heiresses. Am I a bit disappointed that it will be a series, a bit but just because I don't want to get sucked into another one.
The Heiresses quickly sucks you in and it never lets you go. There are a lot of characters but you quickly figure out that who the important ones are and who the bystanders will be. Poppy, Natasha, Corinne, Aster and Rowan are the centerpiece to this novel. They are "the heiresses" that someone is after. Each one has a chapter from their point of view and this lends insight to their relationships as only they can. All of them were extremely close as children, but then something shifted. Natasha disowned herself from the family without telling anyone why and Aster separates herself from the family by maintaining a partying lifestyle.
I enjoyed getting to know all of them. Each one has their flaws but each one is human and relatable. I wouldn't say I have a favorite because each of them is so unique. I do love to see character growth in the novels I read and this one had that in spades. Each of the heiresses finally came into their own towards the end of the novel, but the one who made the most significant change was Aster. She truly blossomed and found her way, even if it is having to work a job.
The story moves along at a quick pace, which keeps you on your edge of the seat. Who is trying to kill them? Why? Who keeps leaking insider photos and information to the website following their every move?
What Ms. Shepard does so well is she keeps the story shifting to suspects. You find each of them plausible and just when you think "ah, that's the person", she makes you re-think everything.
Of course since it's a series, it ends on a note that left me wishing I had the next one already in queue. I am definitely looking forward to The Heiresses #2.

$568K House Vs. $10 Million House
– I'm an adult, and
adults have to buy houses, but I can't got looking for houses alone. Quinta, do you wanna go
house shopping with me? – Nothing would make me freaking happier. – Great, okay, well let's go, let's go. We got to go right now. The car's ready, we're going, we're going. So, today we're gonna go look
at three different houses at three drastically
different price points, and find out which one
is the most worth it. – Worth it! – Oh my God, Quinta, please.
– Okay. – I'm getting married this year, and something that comes
with marriage and growing up is you look at, well, maybe I need to buy a house at some point, and I don't know how
to buy a house at all! So, today I've got two realtors
who are gonna help us out. – [Eric] Hello? – Hey guys, so while we're driving there you could maybe fill us in on some points of what's important to look for when you're looking at a house. – [Phil] You always look
at what your needs are. How many bedrooms do you need? Do you need a workspace? Do you need outdoor space? – So, what house are we looking at first? – [Phil] The first house we're looking at is in Alhambra. It's listed at $568,888. – Wait, that's the cheap house? – [Eric] In LA, that's cheap. – Oh boy. – [Phil] We call it entry level. – Right, I like that. I'm gonna start using that for myself. I'm not cheap, I'm entry level. (laughing) – With that, we're just gonna
keep driving towards you, and then we'll meet you in
person to check out this house. – Thanks Eric and Phil, you're nice guys. Okay, bye guys. – I like that you let them
know they're nice guys. – They were nice guys. – Yeah. So Quinta, I want you to meet these guys. This is Phil and Eric. Tell me about this house. – This house is $568,888. You get three bedrooms,
two baths, renovated, 865 square feet on an
5200 square foot lot. – That's a lot of numbers. – About right. – So, here we have the kitchen. – [Quinta] Okay. – Look how generous the space is here. We got quartz countertops,
all the finished cabinetry, and we have subway tile back splash, breakfast dining area here. – Kevin, get that. You make the tea separately,
you pour it into here, people come over, you pick it up, and then you pour it in there. – [Keith] Do you pour with all four? – All four at the same
time, and it's an act. Entertainment by Quinta Brunson. – Having a good kitchen
is important to me. I do a lot of cooking. Super nice, nice kitchen. – [Phil] You get this bonus space, you can use it as a bedroom or an office. – It could be a workspace for you, but also could be a fun family space. – I see little Habersberger's
running around. – Oh, little Habersbergers! It's so cute. – So, on that note why don't we check out the second bedroom? – [Quinta] Oh, I wasn't expecting this for the guest bedroom. – [Keith] Try and imagine
my guests sleeping here. – I think it does the job very well. – Nice little guest bedroom, but I'm not gonna sleep
in the guest bedroom. – [Eric] So, this would
be your room, Keith. Good space, good light. – How much closet space? – Definitely plenty of
space for your wife's stuff. – Yeah, I was about to say. Becky will have that closet, and what closet will I have? – Oh, you don't get a closet. – Oh, okay. – [Eric] You got your own master bathroom. – This is a nice little bathroom. It's like a sexy, walk-in shower, and having a shower head that
actually is above my head is a huge priority for me. This is great. Is there anything else I
should know about this home? – Well, it does also come with
a garage, a detached garage. – There's a garage? – You guys look at the garage. I'm gonna stay inside, because I'm not gonna get
my hair wet in this rain, but I think you guys should check it out. – Okay, great. I guess most houses have garages, but I didn't really think about it because I lived in apartments for so long. Let's open the door. I don't know what I was expecting. Good garage, great. This is actually a ton of
space, but it's raining. Quinta, you were right. You didn't want to go outside. – I knew it. What's for lunch, Kevin? – First house was actually very very cute. – The layout was really well done with that amount of space. – Yeah, I guess I could
see myself living there for a few years. I liked that all the
features were updated, so for what that home is, I
think it was a great choice. I think it's really fun. – Alhambra, baby, yes! – [Keith] House fact! – Hit us with a house fact, Keith! – Okay. According to zillow.com, apparently the White House
is worth $397.9 million. – Wow, how many rooms
are in the White House? – How many rooms? – Yeah, do you know that? – Nah. – Well, I don't even know why I came. – Well, speaking of a lot of money we have another house we got to go to. – Okay, I need to take a nap before we get to this place. – All right, well we
got about five minutes, so get it in quick. (snoring) (laughing) – That was my funniest joke as a kid. (fake snoring) – Just falling asleep.
– Yes! – We're in the Hills. This house, it's listed at $1,329,000. There's two levels of the home. The entry level is all living space with a guest room and bathroom. Downstairs, you have two other bedrooms and two other bathrooms. It's 1,728 square feet. – So are all these bedrooms
just like their own apartment? – You'll find out. – Okay, so what's the
deal with this kitchen? – [Phil] You have a wine refrigerator. – How much wine could you possibly have? – Oh, a lot. Keith, stop drinking so much. (laughing) That is dumb. – [Phil] Nice steel oven, you have a nice big stainless steel sink. – [Keith] Obviously updated
countertops, a nice back splash. – It's a 3D tile. – You know that the whole world is in three dimensions right? – [Phil] This is the third bedroom. – I could be a guest in this room. I love it. – Yeah, it's nice. It's got a closet, it's
a pretty good size. Really, really nice window, obviously. – This sells it. – Look at this big old bathroom. – This is good, this is good. – This bathroom is almost the
size of that third bedroom at that first place. I could hang out in this bathroom. – We could all hang out in the shower. – Yeah, everybody in the
shower, everybody in. Let's turn it on. – No! – [Phil] This is bedroom number two, and bathroom number two. Staged, obviously, for a child. Has their own private balcony. – Wow, this kid is living luxury. – Yeah, let's get this thing out of here, put a full in here, I can make
this thing work for myself. – Yeah, what's the third room? – [Phil] Here we are in the master with a big sitting area. – This is gorgeous. – Yeah, this is great. – It's very roomy. – That closet, are you kidding me? That's all I want is a closet. – This really feels like a
nice intimate, but very big. Let's check out the bathroom. – [Quinta] This is really nice. I love his and her sinks by the way. – If Becky has a lot of makeup, and she wants to use one for her vanity, she can do all the things she needs, and I can brush my teeth. – I am so single. (laughing) – [Phil] This is your outdoor space. This is where you come
and relax, grill maybe. – You could have a whole
cute little party out here. – So, all of this, three
bedrooms, three bathrooms is 1.3 and some change? – Yep, correct. – In the Hills. – That seems, all things
considered for LA, pretty normal. – This has been so wonderful,
especially this home, that I do not know what to
expect with the third home. – It's actually in Malibu
which is quite a ways away, so we're actually gonna take
a look at that tomorrow. We have it primed and ready. – Okay cool, well thanks for showing us these two houses today,
and we'll see you tomorrow. Okay, so we made it to the next day, and it's beautiful out. – It's so nice. – So, what'd you think
about the second house? – It's goals for sure,
but it was still quaint, you know what I mean? It wasn't too much. – It was certainly, to
me, I would be happy if that was the best house
I ever got in my lifetime. – Look at that guy. – Yeah, that guy's just naked. That's a hot guy, that
was a really hot man. – And, that's what you're
paying for in Malibu. – [Keith] House fact! – The most expensive home sold in 2016 is a mansion located in China. It was purchased for $154 million. – Wow. – [Quinta] That's a house fact. – Probably a modern expensive house. – Yeah. – We got the ocean on our left, we got the mountains on our right. Where the hell are we going? – Apparently we're going on a hilltop. – Ooh, the Malibu hilltop
roads kind of scare me. You're driving on a road, and there's no barrier
between you and falling off. Have you ever been up? – No, I've never been up there. – I'm kidding, it's a breeze. – We're almost there. Next time you see us, we'll be inside the fanciest
house you've ever seen. (idyllic classical music) – We are in Malibu. We are at 10 million here. – [Phil] You have nine
bedrooms, 11 bathrooms. There's a movie theater,
there's a bar, there's a pool. – 10,000 square feet living space, 3,000 square feet was
added just over a year ago. The house was completely redone, so it's almost like a brand new house. – So, you have a whole baseball team and the managing staff? – Maybe a coach.
– Yes. (laughing) – That's good. – [Eric] So, this living room, we've got the six person
bar there, fully stocked, explosive views of the Pacific ocean. – I feel like that's the
best thing about this space is that it's made for entertainment, and I think that's really nice. – It all flows together very well. This is just such a cool area, but what else is in this house? This is a large kitchen. – You have Caesar stone on countertops, double oven on the side, you have two under the range, with a pot filler above it. (gasping) – What? There's water that comes
out of above the oven? – On top of that, you have two under counter pull out drawer refrigerators for drinks. (cheering) – I like that. – This is my dream. I don't think I would leave the kitchen if I lived in this house. – [Eric] This is one of the many guest bedrooms in the house. – It's so big. – [Eric] It's bigger than
most master bedrooms. – Yes, it is. – So, this bedroom has a full bathroom. Does every guest room
have a full bathroom? – Every bedroom will
have its own bathroom. Some have only a shower, some have a shower and a bathtub. – It's like a hotel room. I want this to be my home, guys, but I don't know what it takes. – Dream! – I don't want to dream too high. – Dream big, you can do it. – Okay. – [Phil] This is a big master bedroom. – This is huge. This is so big. Look at me, I can run. You can run in this room. There's enough room to run, Quinta. This is incredible. How does this master bedroom compare to other ones you've seen and shown? – It has a large fireplace, a giant view of the Pacific ocean again. – [Quinta] Crazy. – Built in speakers. – Oh my god. – [Eric] Master bathroom. – [Quinta] God, it's gorgeous. – [Keith] Wow. – The closet is crazy. Oh, Keith! – Oh my god, there's a sauna. – They got a sauna. Are you hearing this, Kevin? 'Cause you're not reacting. – [Kevin] Yeah. – Can I get a head shake from the camera? Okay, that's what I wanted. – Oh my god. This is incredible, and it's got all these
sound panels on the side. Whoa! Hey, that's great. Is that chair rocking? – Yep. – Oh, little baby Keith. Look at this, oh my god. It's got a big old deep end! – I'm a rather small girl. I'm not too fond of deep ends in pools. – I love deep ends. – Well, look at you! You can survive. – Yeah, I guess that's true. – [Quinta] Oh my god. – [Keith] I can't choose what to do. – [Quinta] I want to
do this, let's do this. – Look at this view. Can you imagine yourself
at the end of every day? I would have a hard
time leaving this house. – [Quinta] I have to tell you something. I accidentally broke the downstairs toilet in bathroom number two,
maybe we should go. – Yeah, we should get out of here. – [Quinta] Maybe we can
stay five more minutes. – Yeah.
– [Quinta] Okay. – Wow.
– Keith, we saw three homes. – We got to shout out to
my boys, Eric and Phil, showing us around, helping us
learn about all those houses. So Quinta, which of the homes did you find to be the most worth it? – First one was wonderful, beautiful house for getting started, and it was so nice and remodeled, but I think our second home was the most with it. You know, it just had beautiful things. Views, right? The views were amazing. – You know, I'm looking at all three, and I'm thinking about
if I were to buy a home. In a dream world, number three
is the one you want, right? But, I mean, $10 million? And, I think for me,
the most worth it home was the first home we saw. It's the most realistic, and
that's part of home buying. Kevin, what was your favorite? – The last one. – So, I'm modest, family building. Quinta, obviously still
wants a lot of views, and Kevin's a billionaire, who knew? – I want to be a baller. – Oh, Kevin. Kevin is a baller. – He is. (screaming) Worth it!
– Worth it! (funk music)

Robinson Meyer
Robinson Meyer is a staff writer at The Atlantic, where he covers climate change and technology.
On October 14, 2007, a middle-aged man was growing irate at the arrivals terminal of the Vancouver International Airport. Robert Dziekanski had been stuck in the airport for 10 hours with a visa problem, unable to find his older mother. He couldn't speak English—couldn't speak any language other than Polish. So, frustrated or delirious, he had begun throwing furniture to the ground.
Four members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrived to investigate the commotion. One of them gave Dziekanski an instruction in English. It's unclear whether he complied, and it hardly mattered: Less than 25 seconds after getting to the scene, Corporal Benjamin Robinson, the senior officer present, ordered his team to use a stun gun on Dziekanski.
The police tased Dziekanski five times. He screamed, collapsed, and writhed on the floor. Instead of letting him sit up to catch his new breath, the officers forced his face against the ground as they tried to handcuff him. He resisted, then stopped fighting. When paramedics arrived minutes later, they could not revive him. Dziekanski's heart had stopped.
A couple hundred feet away, a Canadian named Paul Pritchard was recording the incident on his phone. His video—which was confiscated by police, and which he only reclaimed through litigation—did not match the police report.
The police and Pritchard's video were so different as to resemble alternate worlds. The police had claimed three men approached Dziekanski. The video showed four. The police had claimed that Dziekanski was reaching for something on a desk when he was tased, as if preparing to assault the officers. The video showed he wasn't. The police said they couldn't have pepper-sprayed Dziekanski, as too many other people were nearby. The video showed that a plexiglass wall separated Dziekanski and the officers from anyone else in the airport.
The video made a difference.
Just last month, Benjamin Robinson was found guilty of perjury.
* * *
Three days ago, a local newspaper in South Carolina reported the police explanation for the shooting death of an unarmed black man, Walter Scott, as he fled from a routine traffic stop in the town of North Charleston. From The Post and Courier:
A statement released by North Charleston police spokesman Spencer Pryor said a man ran on foot from the traffic stop and an officer deployed his department-issued Taser in an attempt to stop him.
That did not work, police said, and an altercation ensued as the men struggled over the device. Police allege that during the struggle the man gained control of the Taser and attempted to use it against the officer.
The officer then resorted to his service weapon and shot him, police alleged.
The Post and Courier also quoted a confused cousin of Scott's: "He's not a violent guy—never seen him argue with anybody. I just can't see it," Samuel Scott told the paper.
Then, on Tuesday, both The Post and Courier and The New York Times obtained videos of the shooting. They showed a different story.
The video shows the officer, Michael T. Slager, shooting Scott as he runs away. Slager does not start firing—eight times, at Scott's back—until Scott is fleeing. The video then shows Slager dropping an object on Scott's body. It isn't clear whether this object is a stun gun. Finally, the video shows sets of officers arriving on the scene in the minutes after the shooting, and it shows none of them attempting CPR.
On Tuesday evening, Slager was charged with murder.
* * *
In the past year, after the killings of Michael Brown and Tamir Rice, many police departments and police reformists have agreed on the necessity of police-worn body cameras. Body cams seem to be good for everyone. By creating a better record of officer-citizen interactions, the argument goes, they protect cops from unfounded accusations and give citizens a kind of justice insurance policy.
But the most powerful cameras aren't those on officer's bodies. They're those wielded by bystanders.
We don't yet know who shot these videos of Slager, who carried these tools of witness. But unknown cameramen and women lived out high democratic ideals: They watched a cop kill someone, shoot recklessly at someone running away, and they kept the camera trained on the cop. They were there, on an ordinary, hazy Saturday morning, and they chose to be courageous. They bore witness, at unknown risk to themselves.
Which isn't to say that civilian-held cameras are always effective at securing a conviction. Despite the fact that the world can now see Eric Garner being killed by an illegal chokehold—despite the fact that New York City Police Department banned chokeholds years ago—film of the incident did not result in the officer, Daniel Pantaleo, being charged. But thanks to the efforts of Ramsey Orta, who filmed Garner's death, we know.
"We have been talking about police brutality for years. And now, because of videos, we are seeing just how systemic and widespread it is," tweeted Deray McKesson, an activist in Ferguson, after the videos emerged Tuesday night. "The videos over the past seven months have empowered us to ask deeper questions, to push more forcefully in confronting the system."
"Pics or it didn't happen" is a terrible motto for a justice system. Nor can accountability for police officers rely on someone always standing nearby with a smartphone. But the process of ascertaining the truth of the world has to start somewhere. A video is one more assertion made about what is real. Today, through some unknown hero's stubborn internal choice to witness instead of flee, to press record and to watch something terrible unfold, we have one more such assertion of reality.

Now more than ever, public transportation is not just about ridership. Buses, trains, and subways make urban civilization possible.
For city residents, equitable access to local green space is more than a coronavirus-era amenity. It's critical for physical, emotional, and mental health.
The coronavirus crisis stands to dramatically reshape cities around the world. But the biggest revolutions in urban space may have begun before the pandemic.
With cities in lockdown and workplaces closed, the big drop in traffic and transit riders allows road repair and construction projects to rush forward.

Employers will be relieved to know that the EEO-1 Survey opened on March 18, 2019, and currently is receiving only 2018 Component 1 data so far. The window for submitting that data will close on May 31, 2019.
Notably, the federal agency said in a statement that it is "working diligently on next steps" in the aftermath of a District of Columbia federal court order vacating the OMB's earlier stay on the collection of Component 2 EEO-1 pay data.
OMB stay vacated. In National Women's Law Center v Office of Management and Budget, the court declared that the OMB's stay of the EEOC's pay data collection was "illegal." The court found that the OMB's deficiencies were substantial and that it was unlikely that the government could justify its decision on remand.
Vacating the stay, the court granted summary judgment to the plaintiffs in the lawsuit and ordered that the previous approval of the EEOC's revised EEO-1 form "shall be in effect."
More info to follow. As to the pay data information required in the Obama-era EEO-1 collection, the EEOC said that it will provide further information "as soon as possible."

Struggles of men on display in 'The Full Monty'
As stories go, the plot of "The Full Monty" is a bit implausible. It proposes that six unemployed steel workers from Buffalo, N.Y., form a male striptease troupe — a la Chippendales — to save their families, their pride, and their homes.
How can these six mostly out-of-shape men compete with an established group such as Chippendales? Easily, by going "the full monty," which means to strip all the way, leaving nothing to the imagination while offering plenty for the eyes of the town women they hope will come see this one-time performance.
The newest musical at the Eldorado Resort Casino, which appears nightly except Mondays through Sept. 18, also deals with serious issues including financial hardships, unemployment, parental rights, impotence, depression, homosexuality, obesity and suicide.
It's also a comedy that's based on the 10-time Tony Award-nominated musical written by Terrence McNally and scored by David Yazbek that appeared for two years on Broadway, which in itself is an adaptation of the 1997 British film of the same name.
A comedy?
"It's brilliantly written," said director Andy Ferrara, whose Los Angeles-based company Plan-B Entertainment produces the show. "There are serious issues, but they're addressed in a funny, entertaining way."
For example, there's a song about suicide that makes light of the character's decision to end his life. But it's sung with humor in a way that dissuades the character from leaving this world early.
The musical makes no bones about the fact that it does reveal male flesh on stage (although you'll have to go to the show to learn if "the full monty" is exposed in its full glory) — within the first three minutes of the show, you're seeing a guy on stage in a G-string.
But remember, these are not experienced striptease performers. These are everyday men trying to regain some self-pride and make some money to pay the ever-mounting bills that cause so much strife in their lives.
"I think that's what makes this show so enjoyable for men and women alike," Ferrara said. "People who see the show can identify with the men on stage, what they're going through — their struggles, their willingness to do anything legal for money and wanting to achieve something. At the same time, they're dealing with the awkwardness of revealing their less-than-perfect bodies. I think being able to relate to the characters is where the show really hits a home run."
The show features a cast of 19 performers, plus a live band that's placed in the upper balcony of the Eldorado Theatre.
"We held open auditions in Los Angeles and received roughly 350 head shots, pictures and resumes from folks that wanted to audition for us," Ferrara said.
"We then auditioned around 200 people and narrowed it down until we got the cast that we wanted."
For stage props, Ferrara rented a set that was used on a national tour.
"It came in two 53-foot semi-trucks," Ferrara said. "It's pretty elaborate and I think that shows. That and the live band, which really adds an extra layer to the quality of the show, really makes this a quality production that everyone who comes to see it will enjoy."
As the show moves toward its conclusion and "the full monty," the men — who initially kept their layoffs from the steel factory a secret from their wives — struggle to deal with their self-esteem issues that emanate from losing one's job and all the troubles that accompany such a situation.
They take dance lessons in hopes of being capable performers for their one-time striptease performance. As the show progresses and their wives catch wind of the men's plans, they discover that they have the support and love of their women regardless of whether they're employed.
When they finally do perform, the men's women are fully enthusiastic and break the show's fourth wall by appearing in the actual audience of the Eldorado Theatre, hooting and hollering for their men.
It's an effect that helps involve the Eldorado audience and makes everyone in the venue feel as if they're at this unusual striptease show.
"I think what makes this story so good is that the show itself isn't so much about stripping," Ferrara said. "It's the end product of the show, but it's really about relationships and love and people doing what they need to do to take care of each other and to support each other.
"Sure, the subject matter has serious issues but it's all presented in such a silly, lighthearted way that, in the end, people really enjoy it and are entertained by what they see."

Hello friends,
It's been a couple weeks. I just got back from visiting Jessica Kerr in St. Louis. We saw the St. Louis City Museum, which I can only describe as like crawling around inside Neil Gaiman's mind.
We also recorded some live coding videos in which we, as two aging mostly-backend developers attempt to create a new web application using modern JavaScript technologies. While drinking beer. They were a lot of fun to make. Let me know if you'd like to see more video in this vein.
One thing those pairing sessions reinforced: we really, really like Glitch. It's a phenomenal leveling technology. It removes a number of barriers to learning to code web apps. You don't have to figure out hosting, or understand version control (but it keeps a history and exports to Github!).
On the other hand, it doesn't insulate you from file structure, so you won't be totally at sea when you do start working from a local development environment.
Another data point: I have a friend I'm helping learn to code and she was able to construct her first website in Glitch on her phone. A lot of people don't have reliable access to a computer, so that's kind of a big deal.
Oh yeah, we also recorded a Greater Than Code episode with Jean-François Cloutier. Go check out his video about building learning robots in Elixir, it's great.
OK let's see what I got done. This is kind of dated, but…
- Make sure the January 7 episode gets out the door.
- Finish unpacking from Australia (seriously it's getting embarrassing at this point)
- Catch up on the my assistant's daily briefings (bad llama)
- Catch up on email AGAIN (frickin' holidays)
- Prep a RubyTapas freebie because it's been way too long.
- Make SIGAVDI easier to sign up for.
The plan for the rest of this week:
- Submit a talk proposal to NordicJS (and use this as a pull to get my ducks in a row for talk submissions – update bio, abstracts, talk history page).
- Make sure I'm on top of at least the next two RubyTapas episodes.
- Make plans for the upcoming Cohere/ShipRise Smoky Mountain Retreat. We'll be working on the AsyncJS course and other plots & plans. What do I need to do to prep?
- Reimplement Promises in Ruby, again, based on the A+ spec. Mostly because I feel like it, and it feeds into some RubyTapas scripts, I've been writing, as well as into improving my understanding for the AsyncJS course.
OK, I know this is short on pontification this week, but I'm late and I feel like it's most important to keep the habit going.
Talk to you soon!

Rawd Allen was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 1994, but February 2014 happened to be the opportune time to attend an Inheritance of Hope (IoH) Legacy Retreat®.
Meet families impacted by Inheritance of Hope!
At first Paul and Alexis Johnson from Fresno, Calif., weren't sure if the Inheritance of Hope (IoH) Legacy Retreat® was right for them. Paul was feeling better and their children were both less than three years old. But much in their past five years has been unexpected.
"When you're living your life MRI to MRI, it's hard to plan ahead," Alexis said.
"We knew about Inheritance of Hope (IoH) for a while but never realized how incredible it was until we were a part of it," said Jay Maier. Jay, his wife Tara, and their five children lived near IoH Legacy Retreat® Director Jill Thompson in Rochester, Minn. Tara said her family prayed for the families that went on Legacy Retreats® but didn't expect to attend one themselves.
Phyllis Young learned about Inheritance of Hope when a local North Carolina television station featured the organization. She immediately knew her family would enjoy going to an IOH Legacy Retreat®.
"I knew we took things for granted and we needed to take some time to step back and enjoy being a family," she said.

Most thinset mortars (multi-purpose and polymer-modified thinsets) are adequate for installing ceramic tile. A cement-based adhesive is generally suitable on masonry substrates where no movement is anticipated. Where slight movement could occur through thermal or pedestrian loads, a modified cement adhesive should be used as a minimum. A 1/4" – 1/8" notch trowel is recommended for most applications.

Social plugins for sharing news through Facebook and Twitter have become increasingly salient features on news sites. Together with the user comment feature, social plugins are the most common way for users to contribute. The wide use of multiple features has opened new areas to comprehensively study users' participatory practices. However, how do these opportunities to participate vary between the participatory spaces that news sites affiliated with local, national broadsheet and tabloid news constitute? How are these opportunities appropriated by users in terms of participatory practices such as commenting and sharing news through Facebook and Twitter? In addition, what differences are there between news sites in these respects? To answer these questions, a quantitative content analysis has been conducted on 3,444 articles from nine Swedish online newspapers. Local newspapers are more likely to allow users to comment on articles than are national newspapers. Tweeting news is appropriated only on news sites affiliated with evening tabloids and national morning newspapers. Sharing news through Facebook is 20 times more common than tweeting news or commenting. The majority of news items do not attract any user interaction.
The purpose of this thesis is to illuminate principles that guide mediated participation, taking place through the interplay between users and news producers. Therefore, the study focuses both how spaces for participation are structured (by news producers) and those that exert participatory practices (news users). The research design thus has an approach that ties together analytical strands that previously have been studied separately. The research questions concern how the conditions comprising mediated participation – in terms of opportunities for users' participatory practices – differ between (1a) various types of online news sites, and (1b) various types of news, as well as how users exercise participatory practices (2a) on various types of news sites, and (2b) in connection to various types of news. The last research question (3) concerns how users express the connection to news producers, through participatory practices within participatory spaces. The thesis includes four papers, that together answer the research questions by applying content and text analyses to various types of news sites (big city national, local rural area, morning broadsheets and evening tabloids) and its content: news articles and features for user participation, such as comments and sharing news through social media (i.e., Facebook and Twitter).
The results show that users and news producers take diverging approaches to user participation adjacent to online news. This is illustrated by the fact that the categories of news that users are most often permitted to interact with, coincide precisely with the news that users tend to decline to interact with, while the news categories that users tend to interact with (when given the chance) occur comparatively sparse. The results also show that news producers are much more prone to permit users to share news through social media, than to permit them to comment news on the news site. Almost all news are made to permit users to share news through Facebook and Twitter, whereas commenting news is substantially more restricted, and even more so among big city national news sites than among local rural area news sites. When it concerns user practices, users share news on Facebook 20 times more often than they share news through Twitter or comment news on news sites. Tweeting news almost only occurs in news sites affiliated with big city national newspapers, and most prominently so when it concerns evening tabloids. This means (when controlling for differences in circulation) that commenting as a user practice tend to have a more local character than tweeting news, with its more national focus.
The connection between users and news producers is shaped by the approach these groups of actors take to each other, under different circumstances. Sharing news through Facebook and commenting on news sites, are not interchangeable practices. Nor is tweeting news from a news site affiliated with national tabloid compared to from a local morning newspaper. And although it is well known from extant research that producers hold hesitant views concerning users' influence over content, users also express distrust when it concerns how professional media practices allow various actors salience in the media. These ideas primarily concern "elites" versus "commoners", differences between public service and commercial media, regulations and media, including roles, genres, and formats. These ideas also concern whether representational principles should guide media representation or if certain views should be excluded, whether journalists' political views affect media performance, and how crime news should be presented in terms of what events are published and representations of victims and perpetrators. Overall, the thesis illustrates that there are connections between various forms of electronic communication (i.e., commenting and sharing news through Facebook and Twitter), and the specific contextual and social settings that news sites are embedded within, with its specific situated audience, shaping the connections between users and news producers.
