Immediately after the flood relief efforts began in Gibbon after the storm and flooding, Gibbon City Councilman Jeff Burmood and Gibbon Fire Chief and Emergency Manager Rick Brown began discussing that the men and women of the Gibbon Volunteer Fire Department were saddled with taking on the extra responsibilities of accepting, sorting and distributing donated items in addition to the responsibilities in the community that they inherited in the wake of the storm. With the addition of Gibbon Baptist Church Pastor Jon Wymer, an informal group, the Gibbon Area Relief Fund (GARF), was formed.
Pastor Wymer explained, "The fire department has its role, and Rick, from the governmental side, is the commander so he's in charge of any resources coming in. But on the flip side, there is stuff that really shouldn't have been on his plate, all of those things that people are trying to do to help." The group began matching up donated items with people's needs. "It was chaos, basically," he added.

DETECTIVES investigating the attempted murder of a Coventry beat bobby run down by a stolen car were today looking at potential fresh clues.
PC Mo Swinscoe, aged 29, was deliberately run over as he tried to question three men seen acting suspiciously near the maternity unit at Walsgrave Hospital on Wednesday.
Today his condition remains serious but stable. He suffered crushed legs and a broken arm.
Detectives are looking at forensic evidence from the stolen red Ford Escort used to run down the popular community officer, who has served with the West Midlands force for more than eight years.
The Walsgrave Hospital is his beat and David Loughton, chief executive of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trusts, said the well-known officer was like "one of the staff".
The Escort was found burned out in Dutton Road, Wood End shortly after the incident. Officers are looking at statements from witnesses who reported possible sightings of the car between it being stolen at the Park and Ride in the War Memorial Park at 6.30pm, and being seen at the hospital at 7pm.
PC Swinson is still too poorly to talk to police officers.
Det Chief Insp Dave Mirfield, crime manager at Chace Avenue police station, said: "We have had a number of people ringing in with possible sightings of the stolen Escort, but we are still appealing for anyone with information to contact us.
"In particular, we want to hear from anyone who saw the car being stolen, what happened at the hospital or where the offenders went after abandoning the Escort."
Anyone with information should call 024 7653 9040.

A Rabbi and a Football Star: Hope and Commitment in the Face of AdversityRobert Brooks, Ph.D.
I was drawn to two articles in the October, 2007 issue of Metrowest Magazine, a publication distributed in the western suburbs of Boston. One focused on Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of the bestselling book When Bad Things Happen to Good People, the other on Doug Flutie, the 1984 winner of the prestigious Heisman Trophy as the best player in college football. Flutie won the award as a quarterback at Boston College and later played in the Canadian and National Football Leagues. He is currently a college football analyst on television.
Interestingly, Kushner served as a rabbi at a temple in Natick, Massachusetts, the same town from which Flutie hails. However, the major common thread in their lives is that both were confronted with painful situations related to their only sons. Many of my readers may be familiar with their stories, but others may not.
It should come as no surprise to those who have read a number of my other articles or the book I co-authored with my colleague, Dr. Sam Goldstein, The Power of Resilience: Achieving Balance, Confidence, and Personal Strength in Your Life, why the lives, words, and actions of Kushner and Doug and Laurie Flutie were especially meaningful to me. Obviously, their grace, dignity, compassion, and purpose in the face of adversity would be of interest to anyone. However, as I read what they said and did, I continually reflected upon those factors associated with "stress hardiness" and resilience.
As I have written in previous works, Dr. Suzanne Kobasa found that those individuals who deal more effectively with stress and adversity possess a "stress hardy personality." Kobasa identifies three major characteristics of this personality. I prefer to use the word mindset in place of personality to reflect my belief that we are all capable of becoming more stress hardy; mindsets are typically seen as open to modification while the word personality is associated with an entity that is fixed and more resistant to change. I think all of us can apply to our lives the lessons learned from Kushner and the Fluties.
The three features of stress hardiness described by Kobasa are subsumed under the categories of commitment, challenge, and personal control. Kobasa describes commitment as being involved with, rather than alienated from, the many aspects of life. When commitment is present, we possess a sense of purpose that tells us why we are doing what we are doing. We are guided by a vision that provides passion and meaning to our lives. This meaning or commitment is not confined to a single area but is manifest in our personal relationships, in our work, in our charitable activities, in causes we adopt, and in our religious practices.
Rather than dwell on the question of "why me?" Kushner and the Fluties turned their personal anguish into a commitment to strengthen the lives of others. In addition to his writings, which have been of comfort to many, Kushner and his wife, Suzette, helped to form the Progeria Research Foundation. As noted earlier, Doug and Laurie Flutie launched a foundation in their son's name to help other families who have children who are autistic.
The second component of a stress hardy mindset is challenge. Not surprisingly, stress hardy people are those who perceive difficult situations as challenges from which to learn rather than as situations causing despair and helplessness. Anyone who has read When Bad Things Happen to Good People can attest to Kushner's struggle to understand the death of his son in light of his view of God as benevolent. Rather than resignation, he challenged himself to make sense of conflicting feelings and thoughts, especially as a clergyman. As quoted earlier, Laurie Flutie used the word challenge in describing her husband's approach to their son's autism.
The third feature of stress hardiness is personal control, a theme in which I have become increasingly interested. Kobasa found that people are less stressed when they devote their time and energy to managing those situations over which they have some control or influence. Neither the Kushners nor the Fluties had any control over the emergence of the illnesses faced by their sons. What they did have control over were their attitudes and actions when confronted with these illnesses. As I have noted in many of my workshops, it is to be expected that parents confronted with serious illness in their child would initially ask "why my child?" or "why my family?" However, to continue to pose that question contributes to ongoing sadness and defeatism and paralyzes us from taking more constructive action that would add meaning to our lives and the lives of our children. To change a negative mindset is not easy, but to maintain such a mindset eventually saps our energy and robs us of the opportunity to experience future happiness and purpose.
In the early 1980s when I first read When Bad Things Happen to Good People I was moved and comforted by the conclusions Kushner draws at the end of the book. I think they represent a powerful, transforming lesson for all of us.
He writes, "Is there an answer to the question of why bad things happen to good people? That depends on what we mean by 'answer.' If we mean 'is there an explanation which will make sense of it all?'–why is there cancer in the world? Why did my father get cancer? Why did the plane crash? Why did my child die?–then there is probably no satisfying answer. We can offer learned explanations, but in the end, when we have covered all the squares on the game board and are feeling very proud of our cleverness, the pain and the anguish and the sense of unfairness will still be there.
He ends with a poignant remembrance of Aaron, a remembrance that holds significance for us all as we confront life's adversities.

Q: Remove first item of array in react state I know how to do this but trying this way and not sure why it wont work?
  drawCard = () => {
    const deck = this.state.cards;
    deck.shift();
    console.log(deck, 'deck'); //this is correctly logging one less everytime
    this.setState({cards: deck})
  }

cards is just an of objects
so even though the function is being called and the console log is working, why is it not updating state?
(console.log(state.cards.length) always returns 3)

A: Don't use methods that mutate the state (for instance, Array#shift). You could instead use Array#slice to return a shallow copy of a portion of the array:
drawCard = () => {
  this.setState({ cards: this.state.cards.slice(1) })
}

A: in react, you can't just change the state,
you need to create a copy of your state before updating,
the easiest way to do it is just replace this:
 const deck = this.state.cards;

into this:
const deck = [...this.state.cards];

A: The problem arises because you are directly modifying the state. Although you are assigning the state to 'deck' remember that in Javascript arrays and objects are references. So when you are modifying deck you are actually trying to modify the state itself. You can use other methods to create a copy of the states values and modify that.

I have been tying midges from patterns I've found hoping they will produce some fish this winter season. I tied a dozen and a half midge larva and a half dozen cdc midge emergers (I think thats what they are, i.e. novice) in size 18. That makes 8/50 dozen flies tied.
I tied the Cdc on a no weight midge larva to simulate the bubble that helps move the larva from the bottom of the stream to the top. I have much to learn about Midges in general. I will do some reading and tie more when I'm more confident the patterns I tie will work on the water I can't wait to fish.

Four saving and funding tips to make college affordable for your child
July 31, 2022 July 29, 2022 About Benjamin J. Koval, Financial Planner, Special to Lassen News
Many professions consider a college education to be a vital step toward establishing a career. A survey of 500 professional recruiters showed all of them look for candidates with a college degree.
But while the average graduate with a bachelor's degree earns $1.2 million more over their lifetime than a person with only a high school diploma, many young people sacrifice this potential income due to the continually rising cost of a college education.
Despite escalating costs, good financial planning helps many families put their children on a solid path to a four-year degree, said Benjamin J. Koval, president and founder of SoundPath Retirement Strategies.
"Planning for college expenses well in advance helps reduce stress, especially when it comes to external factors, such as hikes in tuition or student loan interest rates," Koval said. "But though many families would like to see their kids go to college, many don't have a plan on how to pay for it.
"Largely as a result, many young adults are saddled with enormous college loan debt. Others who would benefit greatly from college but can't afford it don't go, avoiding the debt but missing out on perhaps a life-changing opportunity. The idea of paying for a college education can seem daunting, but there are options to help pay for it. Unfortunately, many people aren't taking advantage of those options."
Koval offers these tips on saving and funding for college:
Start a Section 529 plan. "These plans are a solid savings option since they are not taxable as long as the money is used for college-related expenses," Koval said. "Ideally you set up a 529 savings plan when your kids are little. It's an investment plan that matures over the lifetime of the plan. Initially, the investments take prudent risks in order to multiply faster, then move to more conservative options as the student nears college age."
Get college credits while in high school. Many U.S. high schools offer Advanced Placement and dual-enrollment classes. By taking these higher-level courses while still in high school, students can be awarded college credits early.
"AP classes are generally more difficult classes targeting specific areas of study within a subject," Koval said. "Colleges may award credits based on scores that would be evident of the student mastering the material.
"Dual-enrollment classes function as a partnership between high schools and colleges," he said. "A dual-enrollment class holds high school students to the college-level standard and curriculum. Both types of classes can save students and parents valuable time and money in their pursuit of higher education."
Familiarize yourself with the aid process. Koval said students should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid which uses their information to determine how much financial aid they might qualify for, including money from grants or state-funded assistance.
"It also can determine how much a student could qualify for in loans if they become necessary," Koval said.
There are many types of student aid, and amounts can vary based on many factors. Besides scholarships based on academic or athletic performance, Koval said students can also look into Pell Grants or privately funded scholarships awarded by foundations, religious groups or other organizations based on need or merit.
Consider the community college route. Community colleges are a good option for students who don't receive much aid from family or scholarship opportunities, Koval said.
"The average cost per credit hour at a two-year community college is less than half the average cost at a four-year university," he said. "And after two years at a community college, students can usually transfer their credits to a four-year university to finish a four-year degree."
"The shock of paying for college won't be so severe if families begin planning well in advance," Koval said. "When you plan earlier you have less stress and more money to put into education and your child's future."

When Woody Guthrie, the great American folk balladeer who gave us This Land is Your Land, the musician who influenced Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and many others, discovered adobe during the troubled dust bowl years, he became an evangelist for building with mud. Huddled with his young wife and daughter in a Texas panhandle shack made of wood lined with old newspapers against the wind, whipped by a blizzard of brown snow, he dreamed of building an adobe house so they would never feel the bitter cold again.
So when it rains it won't wash away.
He also wrote a novel, House of Earth, in which the protagonist obtains a copy of USDA Bulletin Number 1720 and carries it with him every where, in hopes of one day building a mud house for his family. Though Guthrie wrote and published several books in addition to more than three thousand songs, this was his only novel and it was not published. He hoped it would be made into a movie but that didn't happen either, and the manuscript languished.
Now, thankfully, with Douglas Brinkley and Johnny Depp (!) as champions, House of Earth is at last available Brinkley and Depp have written a wonderful introduction, putting the book in context. The novel itself stands up well, written in Guthrie's folksy, passionate style. It's a love story, a protest against banks and greed and agribusiness. But most of all, at the center, is the promise of adobe. Who would have thought that the iconic Woody Guthrie was a mud man!
A PDF scan of the bulletin is available online for download (warning: the download is slow that I could not even put the link on this page). It is fun and useful to read. The intent seems to be to not only show how to make and use adobe, but to convince the readers of its superiority. Clearly, it convinced Guthrie and through him, Tike Hamlin his character.
I love stuff like this. Don't you?

African-American teachers educated African Americans and taught each other to read during slavery in the South. People who were enslaved ran small schools in secret, since teaching those enslaved to read was a crime (see Slave codes). Meanwhile, in the North, African Americans worked alongside Whites. Many privileged African Americans in the North wanted their children taught with White children, and were pro-integration. The Black middle class preferred segregation. During the post-Reconstruction era African Americans built their own schools so they did not have White control. The Black middle class believed that it could provide quality education for their community. This resulted in the foundation of teaching as a profession for Blacks. Some Black families had multiple individuals who dedicated their lives to teaching. They felt that they could empower their communities. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Southern States passed Jim Crow laws to mandate racial segregation in all aspects of society, and prevent Blacks from voting. Racism made it difficult for Black professionals to work in other professions. In 1950, African American teachers made up about half of African-American professionals.

The Great Depression in the 1930s had a dramatic economic impact among Southern Black Americans. This resulted in the degradation of segregated Black schools. African Americans were deteriorating economically and pled for integration, in hopes of making more resources available. The legal desegregation of schools in the U.S. by federal enforcement of a series of Supreme Court decisions following Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. Desegregation resulted in the closure of Black schools and the loss of most jobs for African-American teachers. Whites did not want their children taught by Black teachers. The African-American communities lost their leaders and role models. It created a distrust in schools from the Black community.

Black women educators (19th century)

Overview
During the 19th Century in the United States, African-American advocates and educators began to teach across the states. Slavery in the United States was abolished in mid 19th century and allowed for the establishment and push for education among black communities. Education varied in the North and the South yet prominent figures wrote speeches and fought for equal education. African Americans would battle for equality, rights, and inclusion with education as their weapon. Women were the ones to many times lead initiatives to further education for colored students, advocate for attainment of higher education, and promote equitable education opportunity.

Pre and post Civil War education

The history of education during the 19th century is often divided into two periods: the time of slavery to the rise of insurrection movements (1835) – a time where people were often asked whether "it was prudent to educate the slaves". Secondly, when abolitionist were fighting to end slavery and offer education to "cultivate" the minds of those enslaved. The early-advocates of the education for African-Americans were those who masters who wanted to increase the economic efficiency of their labor supply, sympathetic persons who wished to help the oppressed, and zealous missionaries who taught people who were enslaved, English in hopes they learn the principles of the Christian religion. Freedman school, missions and churches were some of the first few spaces enslaved people were encouraged to start school. The intentions of these institutions were muffled (See Freedmen's Bureau). Such exposure to education allowed others to see the benefits of educated enslaved people. The uplift led to the establishment of separate schooling.

Education was a recurring subject in the pre-civil war era and can be cited to be a subject of interest at the 1843 National Convention of Colored Citizens. Education was a way to obtain equality and become established when considering class. Early efforts highlight the importance of eliminating inequality and education being a tool to succeed that. The African-American struggle for education was rooted in the desire to bring about social and political equality and to defeat racial prejudice. After the American Civil War, there were localized efforts to establish schools and create school systems. It was the former enslaved who, during reconstruction, gave the Southern States their first effective system of free public schools and industrialization led to the establishment of permanently opened and black owned schools.

Later-advocates of education were characterized, specifically women educational advocates, as fighting for eradicating prejudice and promoting Christian love, training black women and men to be educator-activist who would fight for civil rights, and, lastly, cultivating moral and intellectual character in children and youth. The shift turned to a focus of community. Ongoing constraints limited educators from teaching in the classroom. It was common for school districts to obstruct black educators by placing mandated teacher trainings only available to white educators. Obtaining higher education was often emphasized throughout leaders speeches. In order to battle certain expectations and eliminate the prejudice that black educators faced, many employed a strategy that called for the emphasis of Christian Ideals. Additionally, many of the Black educators that championed for equal access to education were also fighting for gender equality (See Black feminism#18th century). The 19th Century is where the fight for education finds itself beyond the classroom and concerning many other societal issues.

Advocates
Aside from being activist during the nineteenth century, these notable figures also saw the importance in teaching. Many times, whilst teaching, the women would be exempt or have to step away from their roles in order to speak freely about the racial, classist, and sexist injustices plaguing the black community. These figures, unknowingly, were highlighting the efforts to promote opportunity and intersectionality when advocating for change.

List of works
The legacy of notable black women educators is able to be preserved through their own narratives and works. Below is a list of essays, prose, speeches, and more that touch on the black women experience specific to education.

 1841 - Ann Plato, "Education"
 1886 - Virginia W. Broughton, "Womanhood a Vital Element in the Regeneration and Progress of Race"

- "Whatever excuse may be offered in the states for exclusive institutions, I am convinced that … none could be offered with a shadow of reason, and with this conviction, I opened school here with the condition of admission to children of all complexions" - Mary Ann Shadd Cary (1853)

- "Black Women saw education as a vehicle to ready both personal and larger community goals" - Daina Ramey Berry & Jermaine Thibodeaux

Book Review - Esme's Wish by Elizabeth Foster
My Rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Publisher - Odyssey Books
Genre - Fantasy
Publishing year - 2017
ISBN - 978-1-925652-24-6
My Review -
Esme's Wish is a debut book and first in the Esme Series trilogy written by an Australian author, Elizabeth Foster. This fantasy work has based on an underwater city named Aeolia. A fifteen-year-old Esme felt something unusual at this father's second marriage. She tried to express herself but was ignored by everyone. Esme lost her mother when she was little. No one knows the details of her disappearance. People assumed that she lost her mind, and Esme's father hide the truth from her.
But somehow, Esme knows that there's a lot she doesn't know; to find the truth, she accidentally entered into Aeolia, a city of dragons and enchanters. At first, Esme thought that she is gone deranged, and it is all just in her head. Soon she finds out that her mother visited this place, and her world starts changing. With the help of her new friends, Daniel and Lillian, Esme unfolds many mysteries.
The plot revolves around Ariane's dual life and how Esme finds a lead on her. Everyone shares their pieces of information with Esme. Aeolia is suffering from earthquakes, and Esme finds the connection between her mother and Aeolia's legends. It makes her a target in this unique land. Will she able to find missing pieces at the right time or lost her mother forever?
Characters - Esme, Lillian, and Daniel's trio are ambitious, stubborn, kind, and brave. Their friendship felt real. Daniel and Lillian helped Esme to trust and rely on others. They helped each other grow.
Mare's character has a dark and mysterious side, but when he appeared in the cave, I felt he is a frail person; that scene didn't work for me well. I felt the thrill was missing. I hope to read more about him in the second book. Apart from this, I don't think any other character plays a significant role.
The language is explicit and error-free; the description is pleasant. The narrative is slow-paced but engaging. I appreciate Elizabeth Foster's attempt at writing; being a debutante, she did a good job. If you like to read about magical creatures and appealing adventures, this book is for you. I can't wait to read the next book, Esme's Gift.

Adopt • A • Station is a program designed to support the City of Dallas (City) in its efforts to maintain, refurbish, and renovate fire stations. The program also supports the fire fighter/EMS professionals' quality of life at fire stations through donations of goods and property that may be found at typical neighborhood fire stations. Citizens and businesses are encouraged to involve themselves within the community by contributing time, funds, goods or services to benefit the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department (DFR). DFR's Assistant Chief of Technology and Personnel Support Bureau (Program Coordinator) will have oversight of the Adopt • A • Station program. Distribution of funds from the Adopt • A • Station account greater than $50,000 will require dual authorization from the Program Coordinator and the Assistant City Manager (ACM) over the Police and Fire Departments.
Specific Improvements – If a donor wishes to make contributions to the benefit of the DFR for specific improvements to DFR assets, but does not wish to donate directly to the City, they may do so by making the contributions directly to a third party non-profit identified by the City. Currently, that third party non-profit organization is the Dallas Foundation. Click on the Dallas Foundation logo to make a credit card donation immediately.
Whether donating directly or through a third party non-profit, the donor may designate a specific station to benefit from the contribution and may designate improvements or needs to which they desire the contribution be applied. These donor-directed improvements will be coordinated through City staff, but will closely follow the direction of the donor where appropriate.
General Improvements to Fire Department – If the donor does not specify a specific station, or Departmental need, then the donation may be used to address any item on the needs list maintained by DFR.
Donors will be provided a Donor Form on the Adopt • A • Station webpage located on the dallasfirerescue.com website, or by calling DFR at 214-670-5085. Donations can be made by credit card at anytime by clicking on the Dallas Foundation logo.
Donated Goods, including equipment, should be new and without advertisements with the exception of the manufacturer's logo/decal. Proof of ownership or purchase must be provided when donating property.
An acknowledgement of monetary donations will be provided by Dallas Foundation.
All donations of goods will be accepted pursuant to Administrative Directive 2-13 and become property of the City, once accepted. The City will provide donors with an acknowledgement letter . Valuation of donations for tax purposes will be the responsibility of the donating party.
Volunteers donating their labor, such as those participating in clean-up events, must sign and submit a liability waiver and release form before participating. The Department will make the form available via the Adopt • A • Station web link.
DFR's Program Coordinator will establish and maintain a priority or "needs list" for fire stations and other fire department facilities in greatest need of assistance through the program. The needs list will be published on the dallasfirerescue.com website under a link on the Adopt • A • Station web page. Fire stations scheduled for replacement in the near future (1-3) years are not eligible for participation.
These departments will be involved to ensure the proposed scope of work is in the best interest of DFR and the City and to establish required insurance and other requirements of those who will be working on or in City facilities. Additionally, donations will adhere to the City Administrative Directive governing gifts and donations (AD 2-13). Monetary donations or donations of construction services targeted for a capital improvement such as alteration of fire department facilities will require a signed contract between the City and the company doing the work, along with a signature line for the donor, if the donor desires, which acknowledges agreement with the proposed work. Facilities project work will be coordinated with DFR staff who have management responsibility of the affected DFR facility.
Donation of services, other than services that result in capital improvements, will require at a minimum, review and approval by the Program Coordinator. This review will focus on the proposed services and be designed to exclude workmanship that is not of a quality that is acceptable and appropriate for DFR facilities. Waivers of liability, as well as insurance and bonding may be required of those providing services, where appropriate, based on the scope of the services donated. Where there is little likelihood of impairment to the facilities if the services where abandoned mid-project or otherwise not completed, such as with painting, a contract with the City will not ordinarily be required.
A review of all expenditures under the program shall be conducted annually by the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department's financial officer to ensure compliance with these guidelines and other applicable rules and requirements.
Note: This form must be signed by or on behalf of all volunteers who will participate in or otherwise be involved with providing volunteer service for the Adopt • A • Station Program.


Online voting is now open for the 2018 Tank of the Year contest sponsored by Tnemec Company, Inc. This marks the 13th year that Tnemec has recognized the aesthetic, creative and innovative uses of its coatings on water storage tanks. Voting will close Friday, Oct. 19, at 5 p.m. Central time.
Photos of all the nominated water tanks are posted on this website, where visitors can vote for their favorite tank. Only one vote is allowed per person, but voters will be able to view the front-runners at any time when they revisit the site or track and share contest results using #tankoftheyear.
After online voting has ended, the water tank that received the most votes will be named the People's Choice and receive an automatic bid as a finalist for the 2018 Tank of the Year title. The People's Choice winner and the 11 finalists selected by a committee will be announced on Oct. 22. The 2018 Tank of the Year will be announced on Oct. 26.
Last year's winning entry in Destin, Florida, was a 500,000-gallon legged tank that featured a beach scene by muralist Eric Henn. The artwork shows two colorful beach chairs in the white sand, a stand of sea oats bending in the breeze and a fishing boat on the horizon. The design used an exterior coatings system from Tnemec, which included the fluoropolymer finish Series 700 HydroFlon for long-lasting ultraviolet light resistance and color and gloss retention.


It's been about two months since I last wrote about my Killarney Sweater and I'd like to be able to say I've made excellent progress, but I don't want to lie to you, dear reader—I've actually made very little progress. As you can see, I'm still working on the ribbing at the hem.
The good news is that I only have about half an inch to go! The bad news is that at my average rate, it will probably take me another 2 weeks to finish that last half-inch. My initial goal was to knit 2 rows every day so I could get through this sweater quickly, but that clearly hasn't happened.
Here's the thing: I can't do anything else while I work on this ribbing. I can't have a conversation or watch TV or participate in meetings or even listen to a podcast. For some reason, this pattern really trips me up if I'm not 100 percent focused on it, and not being able to multitask while knitting this ribbing really limits my ability to work on it. I just don't have many opportunities during the day to focus solely on this one thing.
When I realized that last week, it brought me up short. Why do I feel like I don't have time to give all my attention to one task? I've given it some thought, and I think it speaks a lot to how we live in this day and age. How often do any of us focus on just one task? There's so much pressure to do everything that there's little opportunity to give all of our attention to one thing. The more I think about it, the more I realize I hardly ever unitask: I listen to podcasts while I cook, I read while I exercise, I check my phone while I'm watching TV. I'm sure many of you are the same way.
There's a lot of information out there about how to do more—heck, we've written blog posts on how to be a more prolific knitter. That's great information; we all have a lot to get done, and being able to work quickly and efficiently is important. And it can be great to work on a project while watching a movie or chatting with friends (knitting is the original fidget spinner!). But for me, doing a bunch of things at the same time often means doing most of them poorly, and that especially applies to my knitting.
So maybe I'm going about knitting this sweater the wrong way. In my quest to always be multitasking, I've sometimes viewed my sweater as something that keeps me from doing other projects at work and at home. But what if I changed my perspective and viewed working on this pattern as an opportunity to slow down, focus, and truly enjoy the task at hand? Would that change my relationship with the project?
So far, the effects of slowing down and focusing have been really positive. I love this sweater so much more when I'm not pressuring myself to get it and everything else in the world done simultaneously. When I tell myself it's okay to just knit, I remember that this ribbing is really fun to work and that I actually do enjoy knitting this sweater.
If, like me, you often find yourself frantically multitasking, I urge you to give yourself permission to focus on just your knitting. Put aside the million other things clamoring for your attention—they'll still be there when you're done. Focus up, get in your zone, let the distractions melt away, and be fully present with your project.

Get Started on Your New Passion!
No, you are not doing this wrong and thank you for writing this. When my friend told me she wanted to knit again, after not knitting for 3 decades, the first thing I told her was to ignore all the posts and lessons about knitting FAST. It's just not required for people who want to enjoy the process, not making a living from knitting and not on deadlines.
Thank you for writing this! I am newly retired and thought I'd have lots of time to knit but that doesn't seem to be the case. You are so right about multi-tasking. It seems like we always have to be doing more than one thing, that we shouldn't be giving our full attention to knitting. One reason for me is that I love knitting (and weaving) so it's fun. And when everyone else is working, how dare I do something fun. This article so resonated with me. My grandmother used to crochet lace. She had 5 boys and I think she used it as a place to escape all the daily demands. I read somewhere that if a woman wants to escape, hand her a piece of lace to knit. Knitting and weaving gives my brain someplace else to go besides worry. In today's world, we fiber people are very lucky to have that special place in our lives.
I'm recently retired, too, and picked up knitting again. I watch SO much less TV. I'd rather sit and knit and listen to smooth jazz.
But it's true for me as well, I have to pay attention or I'll make a mistake. I'm learning brioche, and find it helps to have a "mantra" for each row – "yarn to front, slip, brk".
What a great piece here, I'm just learning to knit (on my own) and picked a "lapghan" throw to make. It's got just enough complexity that I must focus exclusively on what I'm doing. I find that if the TV is on, an hour will pass and I've not even registered what was just on the TV! Talk about getting lost in your work. But, it does keep me from worrying about things and I get to enjoy being with the beautiful fibers I got to make this throw….I can't imagine myself doing cables!! I watched the knitting TV show and was totally awestruck at how fast some of the seasoned knitters just plow through a row of complex cable work!! Perhaps one day I'll get there, right now I'm just enjoying the therapeutic benefits of the knitting process.
Thank you so much! I'm re-learning to knit (read: un-learning some bad habits and lazy habits) and I'm scared to even start because I find it so hard to simply sit and knit. Of all the reading I've been doing on knitting and techniques, no one has said this. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Jeonbuk defeats Mamelodi Sundowns 4:1, finishes respectable Club World Cup / Weekend Recap + MIDWEEK update
December 14, 2016 Roy Ghim *Korean Players Abroad*, K League Classic 0
Couple of things before talking about Jeonbuk's Club World Cup journey as they cinched 5th place in the 2016 Club World Cup. First off, Tottenham hosts Hull for a midweek fixture at 3pm US EST this afternoon. Son Heung-Min is expected to start. Game is televised in the US on NBC Sports.
Another is JLeague champs Kashima Antlers remarkably winning 3-0 in the semifinals against South America's champions Athletico Nacional. In it, history was made: first time video replay was used to award a penalty decision against the Colombian side. Kashima advances onward to play in the finals – presumably against Real Madrid should they beat Club America. Tournment oddities lie in the fact that Kashima are not the Asian champs; they had a weird route to get here, including barely squeaking by semi-pro Auckland 2:1, and later a 2:0 win against South African side Mamelodi – and now with today's surprise result – will be in the title match. No one said this was a tournament anyone takes too seriously, so, c'est la vie.
Jeonbuk, who were actually in decent form despite a 2:1 loss to Club America in the quarterfinals, got a consolation win against Mamelodi Sundowns today, a dominant 4:1 performance over the African champions. More on that after the jump:
An observational note from Jeonbuk's QF clash with Concacaf champs Club America last weekend saw Kim Bo-kyung strike first, a lovely goal that actually caused boss Choi Kang-Hee to crack an extremely rare smile. Jeonbuk threatened to widen the lead several times, getting near misses from Lee Jae-Sung among notable players. Park Won-Jae gave all sorts of problems for the Club America defense down the right, sending in one dangerous cross after another. The Mexican side looked absolutely shocked to encounter Jeonbuk's lightening combination first touch passing that started to resemble tiki taka – an attractive attacking style that Jeonbuk isn't quite known for. In fact, for a fairly long stretch, Jeonbuk did everything BUT score another goal – they looked incredibly dominant – winning every ball and challenge and had a strange look of confidence about them. Certainly using the wookie, Kim Shin-Wook contributed to this effect, and while he was awkward as ever linking up with his feet – as a aerial target man, he was redirecting quite effectively. However, in the area, he was just swarmed and couldn't get anything on net save for being a nuisance. Kimbo and company had a few more chances to double the lead, but Jeonbuk would rue their missed opportunities. Club America came roaring back, but the game winning goal conceded felt a tad bit unlucky, a routine shot that bounced off the Wookie's foot and on into the corner of the net. On came Lee Dong-Guk, the lion king in substitution. He had 2 fantastic chances with the open net to equalize. He flubbed both opportunities and Jeonbuk just missed out with a semifinal date with Real Madrid. One more note: the most odd thing about Choi Kang-Hee's lineup: NOT starting Leonardo. He scored 10 goals in the last 5 Asian Champions League matches. Why was he benched? By the time he came on, he looked lively but wasn't able to make much impact with dwindling minutes left. Choi Kang-Hee probably missed out on playing Real Madrid by not starting Leonardo – or at the very least playing him too late. That said, losing Lopes in the ACL final definitely hurt Jeonbuk no matter what.
Moving on – Not much to say about today's win, but it proved that the high octane performance against Club American wasn't an illusion. Park Won-Jae cross eventually found Kim Bo-Kyung, rounding the defense and keeper, opened up the game with a scintillating class goal that he rocketed into the near post corner. He followed that up by contributed to the 2nd goal, a very neat set piece practiced on the training grounds with multiple moving parts: Kimbo took the free kick, he opted to go short to a mobile Lee Jae-Sung cutting across the 18 yard box toward Kimbo. Lee Jae-Sung clinically flicked it to Ko Moo-Yeol streaking down the left. The South African defense was distracted by Lee Jae-Sung's run, then scrambled to deal with Ko, allowing space for Ko to cross. Mamelodi couldn't cleanly get it out of danger –Lee Jong-Ho emerged in the chaos, and with his back to the goal, reflexively turned and shoot for a brilliant 2nd Jeonbuk goal. Demoralized, Jang Yun's low cross was misplayed by Brazilian defender Nascimento, who knocked it into his own net. Jeonbuk subbed in the Wookie for a routine header from a Lee Jae-Sung corner kick into the net for a late 4th goal, not before a pretty spectacular consolation strike curled in by Tau.
Note: again Leonardo didn't start, came in the 2nd half and looked lively yet again, 2 excellent shots on goal, both saved in the nick of time by Mamelodi's keeper, who had lots of work today. There are rumors that Leonardo is looking to China due to the snub but press statements made indicate he wants to continue at Jeonbuk.
I'm running out of time -be back soon!
Back again for a very very late weekend roundup, we go to Korean Footballers Abroad:
Son Heung Min — Started and wasn't great but Tottenham played terribly and really all the good things came from Son with good shots from distance. When he was pulled it wasn't a surprise outside the fact that many others were playing worse. Was he pulled early to freshen up or will Pochettino go with Sissoko?
Ji Dong Won — A bit weaker Ji… he was working hard but his aerial work was a bit errant and in particular, he scuffed two great (but not easy) chances in the box. He's the only playmaker though which is a bit frustrating to watch Augsburg as Ji can't be in the box and create plays at the same time. It was a bad showing for Augsburg who lost their cool in a scrappy match and Augsburg will now have to start worrying about the ones below. Hopefully the return of Koo and others spark some offense.
Koo Ja Cheol — He came on at 10 minutes and had one nice move to earn a corner but was a bit errant otherwise. Clearly he's not 100% else he would have come on sooner, but hopefully a positive sign. A week of training hopefully enough to get him to start but certainly bench if he's not 100%.
Park Joo Ho / Kim Jin Su — Nothing to report.
In Barca academy news, Lee Seung-Woo netted a hat trick for Juvenil A. He made this coveted list:

Midweek UPDATE:
On Wednesday Dec 14, plenty of midweek fixtures in the EPL, Son was on the bench for Spurs hosting Hull – he came on late in the game when the game was already wrapped up 3:0.
Lee Chung-Yong actually started for Crystal Palace as Puncheon was out suspended. Against Man U, he was on the pitch until late in the 2nd half and departed with the score level at 1:1. Crystal Palace conceded a very late goal to Ibrahimovic and let the game slip away 1:2. I didn't get a chance to see how Lee played, I'll get a chance to watch later.
Ki was out still recovering from a broken toe, Swansea lost again away at West Brom.

Q: check filename before posting using jquery/ php I need jquery to check if my posted filename (up_image) is empty or not.
if it's empty i need a div tag to be shown and come with some kind of alert message.
if not, just do the

$("#submit").submit();

    <form action="/profile/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="submit">

        image:
        <input type="file" name="up_image" id="up_image" />

    Upload
</form>

A: $(function() {
  $("#post_submit").click(function() {
    var fil = $("#up_image");
    if($.trim(fil.val()).length == 0) {
      alert("Choose a file!");
      fil.focus();
      return false;
    }

    $("#submit").submit();
  });
});

A: 1: use a standard submit button to submit your form rather than a javascript-dependent link, for accessibility reasons, and to prevent brokenness if someone tries to right-click-open-in-new-window or other similar action on the link. If you want it to look like a link, you can still use a button, just apply some CSS to make it no longer look like a button.
2: use the form.onsubmit event to do validation rather than relying on a submit button click (forms can also be submitted by pressing enter, which may not always generate a button click)
<form id="uploadform" method="post" action="/profile/" enctype="multipart/form-data">

        image:
        <input id="up_image" type="file" name="up_image" />

        <input type="submit" value="Upload" />

</form>

Stan Lee says Fantastic Four flopped because he didn't have a cameo

Fantastic Four's debut last month was, um, less than fantastic. Not only did it bomb at the box office and receive less-than-glowing reviews, but the film's director, Josh Trank, even tweeted his disappointment. So what happened? In a new interview with Larry King, Stan Lee says he knows why Fantastic Four was such a flop: "It's probably because I didn't have a cameo in it."
Lee, who created the original Fantastic Four with Jack Kirby, added that the filmmakers didn't discuss the story with him. In fact, he still hasn't seen it. King also asked him if he thought there were too many superhero reboots in too short a period of time, to which Lee replied, "That may be true."
Fantastic Four was one of the few Marvel movies Lee hasn't appeared in, as he's made dozens of cameo appearances in Marvel movies and TV shows, from The Avengers to Agent Carter. He also appeared in the 2005 Fantastic Four as mailman Willie Lumpkin.
Watch a clip from Lee's interview with King below:

Canada is mostly water and a little bit of land. It consists of the most number of lakes and natural water-bodies in the world. It is a peaceful country filled with residents who are respectful of other cultures and languages. Canada is also a country of immigrants with over 15 million of them.
The unique thing about the Canadian education system is that the tuition fees are lower than many other developed countries. Most of the educational institutions in Canada offer both diplomas and degrees in various disciples and fields. International students are made to feel like a part of community at Canadian educational institutions. Various programs like orientation sessions, support sessions, student clubs and "safe walk" programs are aimed at international students studying in Canada.
A student can choose to study in Canada and work as well. The Co-Operative Work Term offers all students an opportunity to work and gain some useful hands-on experience. The student can choose to work on his/her own chosen field and can continue the experience while still studying. The general duration of this work term lasts anywhere from three to four months.


We have covered out Mosaic engine extensively in the past, but here is a useful recap of features, functionality and applications of this unique Tweematic option.

Advertising is an important source of revenue for independent sites, but as sites grow it is important to explore different revenue streams.
Ben Ilfeld from Sacramento Press and Howard Owens from The Batavian shared their own experiences in generating multiple streams of revenue.
Howard and Ben giving their talk about multiple revenue streams.
Key Take Away # 1: Multiple revenue streams are not always passive revenue streams.
Indie publishers are already stretched in day-to-day operations of running their sites. It's important to consider how much work a publisher will manage when starting a new revenue stream. In the case of Howard, his talent pool for helping with managing extra revenue streams is limited. A challenge he faces is balancing content management and traditional advertising activities in addition to the work of adding another revenue stream to his two-person operation.
Key Take Away # 2: Play to your strengths when it comes to adding additional revenue streams.
This is a lesson, Susan Mernit learned with her staff at Oakland Local. Oakland Local's strengths are events and social media consulting. In the past year, Oakland Local has increased social media services and education to their community and encountered great success in building the assets they already have.
Ben agrees with this strategy. Sacramento Press also uses social media consulting and web development as an extra revenue stream. If there are people on your team who are good at social media or web development services, use those people to offer advertisers those services.
Key Take Away # 3: Multiple trickles of passive revenue have the potential to create a flood.
One of the challenges voiced in this session was the need to find passive revenue streams. The ideas that were tossed around like working with ad networks, local.com or text-link-ads might not bring in a ton of money, but collectively it can be helpful.
What other non-advertising revenue stream ideas do you have for your site?

Foreword Reviews
Juan Jose Saer
Steve Dolph (Translator)
Open Letter (December 2011)
$14.95 (278pp)
This virtuosic novel-in-stories from the late Argentinean writer Juan Jose Saer, first published in 1969, investigates a violent crime from four perspectives. Saer forgoes the expected perspectives of the victim, the orphaned daughter, and those closest to the murder. Instead, he focuses on three men only tangentially connected to the killing: a young reporter, a destitute attorney, and the old judge assigned to the case. Each section is a study of characters living on the edge of sanity, together building to the final stark voice of the murderer to offer a satisfying conclusion.
Saer, who died in 2005, moves easily between voices and styles. As an Argentinean, he draws an inevitable comparison to Borges; as a South American writer newly translated into English, and one often occupied with destitute intellectuals and obscure poets delving into the underworld, his contemporary Bolano may be a touchstone, too. Saer lies somewhere between them, and the quartet of narratives in Scars will remind readers of both Borges' surreal fables and Bolano's gritty dramas.
The first section follows a young reporter, Angel. Living with an alcoholic mother and caught in a power struggle with his friend and supervisor at the newspaper that employs him, Angel investigates the murder on a whim rather than for duty. The following section turns abruptly to the decline of an attorney who spends more time gambling in seedy casinos than practicing law, a man once able to predict the results of baccarat, the game he is addicted to. The penultimate section, Sear's most surreal voice, inhabits the mind of the judge assigned to the case, a man fast losing his grip on reality. The judge exists in a fog, seeing the men and women emerging around him as "gorillas" and the scant sleep he finds at night filled with apocalyptic visions. All of these characters come together briefly in the judge's chambers, moments before the murderer's sudden death.
Toward the end of Angel's section, Saer adds a surreal touch to an already outstanding narrative: in the dark streets at night, Angel discovers his doppelganger, another version of himself he is sure has been living in the city all along, the circles they travel in having no reason to overlap until his life begins to unravel. As his story races for its ending, Angel alternately seeks and flees this double.
Betrayed by the union of his mother and his friend, Angel finally confronts this doppelganger: "Whatever his circle—that space set aside for him, which his consciousness drifted through like a wandering, flickering light—it wasn't so different from mine that he could help but look at me through the May rain with a terrified face, marked by the fresh scars from the first wounds of disbelief and recognition."
A reader may react the same way, initially disbelieving Saer's fantastic elements and fractured storyline, but shivering with recognition by the end of this bleak novel. In each section, and especially the murderer's final account, the surreal elements deepen the story's remarkable drama.

ACWA's 'record' bid wins 250MW Scaling Solar duo in Ethiopia
Saudi Arabian energy developer ACWA Power has won a 250MW duo of World Bank-backed solar projects in eastern Ethiopia.
The firm was one of five companies that submitted proposals for the projects, after the Ethiopian finance ministry's public-private partnership directorate general launched a request for proposals in April.
The projects are sponsored under the Scaling Solar programme, run by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) – the World Bank's private sector arm – to provide private funding for solar development in emerging markets.
Ethiopia's finance ministry claims the US$0.02526-per-kWh tariff offered by the firm for the two sites is "the lowest in Africa and one of the lowest globally"
The Gad and Dicheto projects are planned for the eastern regional states of Somali and Afar, and are part of a six-project portfolio that make up round two of Ethiopia's Scaling Solar programme. The projects have 750MW of combined capacity and a price tag of US$798 million.
Round one of the programme was launched in 2017 and involved two solar projects totalling 250MW.
Scaling Solar programmes are also active in Senegal, Zambia and Madagascar.
ACWA Power is a developer, investor and operator of power generation and desalinated water production plants in Africa, the Middle East and south-east Asia.
Ethiopia wants to install 300MW of solar by 2020, up from the total PV capacity of 11MW recorded by IRENA statistics.
