Nancy's Workplace Storyline On 'Stranger Things 3' Is Way Ahead Of Its Time – EXCLUSIVE
05/07/2019 Comments Off on Nancy's Workplace Storyline On 'Stranger Things 3' Is Way Ahead Of Its Time – EXCLUSIVE
Nancy Wheeler has always been a character who pushes boundaries. When she first appeared in Stranger Things Season 1, she surprised audiences by stepping outside the typical "good girl" narrative by dating the bad boy of the high school and, y'know, slaying monsters. In Season 3 of the hit Netflix series, she becomes an even more complex character. Natalia Dyer spoke to Elite Daily about how her character Nancy's workplace storyline on Stranger Things Season 3 is way ahead of its time, and how it's still relatable today. Warning: Spoilers for Season 3 of Stranger Things follow.
When Stranger Things Season 3 begins, Nancy and her boyfriend Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) are interning at the local newspaper in Hawkins, Indiana. While Jonathan is doing well as a photographer, Nancy is struggling in her role as journalist-in-training. She's working in an office of all older men who don't take her seriously at all. While she'd like to pitch them stories, they're more interested in her fetching them coffee.
"For Nancy, she has this whole situation at work, this whole sense of not being heard, of being undermined, of being deflated, which I think can be quite relatable for women in general," Dyer tells Elite Daily.
Stranger Things Season 3 takes place in 1985, but those same gender issues in the workplace still exist today. A significant wage gap still demonstrates professional inequality. In the last few years, the #MeToo movement has highlighted not only the need for women to be treated with more respect. Nancy's storyline, unfortunately, could just as easily take place today as it does in the 1980s.
Stranger Things has always had powerful female characters, especially Nancy and the literal-superhero Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). But Dyer explains that this season gives her character the opportunity to really demonstrate her knowledge and strength by proving her bosses wrong.
"I do think the show's paid attention to women," Dyer explains. "But I think this season more than the other ones gives them space to really take charge and say something."
Nancy isn't the only female character who goes through an important period of personal growth in Stranger Things Season 3. Her mother Karen, played by Cara Buono, also starts to reexamine her own journey as a woman. It all culminates in a heartfelt conversation between Nancy and Karen when Nancy confides in her mom about her work troubles.
"I think Karen's reflecting a lot about her life, and she's clearly made decisions where she's had to give up things or had been discouraged and felt like she had missed opportunities," Buono says to Elite Daily. "And she doesn't want her daughter to experience the same. So while giving her daughter advice, I think she is also trying to take her own advice as well."
Stranger Things is known for its wild creatures and twisting mythology. But some of the best moments for the cast come out of smaller, more emotionally grounded scenes like the workplace ones that Dyer delivers in Season 3.
"There's a lot of fun stuff we get to do, like fun, crazy exciting stuff. But you get some of these scenes and you're like, 'Oh man I can't wait for this.' These just sitting, talking scenes [are nice] because that's where a lot of the character development comes from," Dyer explains. "You get to have conversations with different people and it feels — especially in a fast-paced, sci-fi world — really nice to have to ground you."
Season 3 of Stranger Things is streaming on Netflix now.

Q: fatal error on std::transform c++ I'm trying to transform a vector of foo instances to a string but I'm having fatal error on std::transform.
Say data has the following value:
 [0]
    [name] = John
    [size] = 3423

 [1]
    [name] = Joseph
    [size] = 3413

Code:
struct foo {
    foo(std::string n, size_t s)
            : name(std::move(n)),
              size(s)
    {
    }
    std::string name;
    size_t size;
};

std::string server = "1";
std::vector<std::string> output;
output.reserve(static_cast<unsigned_long>(std::distance(std::begin(data), std::end(data))));

std::transform(std::begin(data),
               std::end(data),
               std::begin(output),
               [&, this](foo const& item){

            std::ostringstream result;
            data << server << ","
                 << item.name << ","
                 << item.size << ";";
            return result.str();
        });

While debugging it stops at the line
    *__result = __unary_op(*_first) of tranform implementation in stl_algo.h then goes to FatalConditionHandler of catch test framework. I'm new to both catch testing and std::transform. Can someone explain what might cause the problem and how to solve it? Thanks a lot!

A: You've reserved space in output, but you've left its size at zero.
You then proceed to write through its begin iterator, just as if it had space to hold data.
Then everything goes "boom".
Instead of writing through std:begin(output), consider using std::back_inserter(output) as the destination iterator.
You also have one other problem: inside your lambda, you have:
        std::ostringstream result;
        data << server << ","
             << item.name << ","
             << item.size << ";";
        return result.str();

This looks like a fairly obvious mistake--you undoubtedly intended:
        std::ostringstream result;
        result << server << ","
             << item.name << ","
             << item.size << ";";
        return result.str();

Personally, I'd probably structure the code somewhat differently. I'd add something like:
struct foo {
    std::string name;
    size_t size;

    // new addition:
    friend std::ostream &operator<<(std::ostream &os, foo const &f) {
        return os << f.name << ',' << f.size;
    }
};

...then the lambda in your transform becomes rather simpler:
std::ostringstream result;
result << server << "," item;
return result.str();

It might, however, be worth considering doing this without the stringstream itermediaries at all. In this case, you really just need string concatenation, and they impose quite a bit of overhead to do that.
struct foo {
// ...
    std::string to_string() {
        return name + "," + size;
    }
};

Then the lambda body becomes:
return server + "," + item.to_string();

Shorter, simpler, and almost certainly faster.

Losant + CVG
The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) wanted to improve the experience for the millions of passengers that use the airport every year. The airport implemented an IoT solution to provide its customers with real-time information about the location of its indoor terminal train. By installing and connecting train tunnel sensors to the Losant Enterprise IoT Platform, the airport was able to better inform its customers about how to use the train.
The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is located 20 minutes outside of downtown Cincinnati and served more than 7.8 million passengers in 2017. The airport offers more nonstop flights than any other airport in the tri-state area of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana with service to 39 of the top 40 U.S. markets. CVG is recognized globally as a leading U.S. airport by SkyTrax World Airport Award. CVG has been serving commercial passengers since 1947 and is the nation's eighth-largest cargo airport in North America based on FAA statistics; it is ranked number 34 in the world. Approximately 31,100+ direct and indirect jobs are generated by CVG operations.
The indoor train was a common point of confusion for travelers at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Travelers didn't know if they should wait for the train, or walk to the terminal. Additionally, some passengers believed the train would take them into the city although it is only used for terminal-to-terminal transportation. The team at CVG is motivated by a firm belief that a great travel experience should start with an unforgettably positive experience at the airport so the airport's leadership team embraced the idea that IoT could help with this issue.
"We didn't just jump in with both feet." Senior Manager of Terminal Operations Stephen Saunders said. The airport set up a proof of concept to determine whether or not the technology was capable of collecting data from the underground tunnel. A small set of Banner Q45 sensors were installed in the train tunnel to deliver information to the Losant Enterprise IoT Platform. Because connectivity is a critical part of getting the information from those sensors, the team also installed gateways in the airport to deliver information over its existing cellular network. After gaining information from the PoC, the airport worked with its facilities department to move into production.
"Aviation is connecting people in ways we've never seen before … passenger traffic is way up and the airports aren't getting any bigger. We have to get smarter with what we have. … and we're trying to solve that with technology."
Stephen Saunders
Senior Manager of Terminal Operations
Large monitors outside of each train boarding station feature a user-friendly dashboard with estimated walking time, real-time train location, and wait times powered by data from the IoT. Travelers are now informed about how to make the best decision.
The Next Objective
According to Stephen Saunders, Senior Manager of Terminal Operations, the airport will continue to innovate through pilot projects with startups and problem-solving technologies. The airport would like to continue to gather information about when people get to airports to better help TSA schedules and improve waiting times.

For Mother's Day, I asked the children if I could take pictures of them all together. They were happy to oblige.
They are each so different.
Kyle is sassy, strong and confident.
Dani is gentle, kind and exudes joy.
Sammy is an old soul full of curiosity and wonder.
They are comfortable with their differences and who they are separately and together.
And at the same time, they are three peas in a pod. Nothing can separate them.
While I see they each have their own path to blaze, I know they will hold each other close. Their love for one another is amazing to watch.
Beautiful portraits! Sounds like a lovely Mother's Day!
Love them and you!! 4 peas in a pod!!!
I am sorry I haven't been seeing these posts! This is so sweet and tender and full of fun and love. I love how each of your girls has a bit (or a lot) of YOU in them. I see it and it always makes me smile really big.
I'm with Meg, geesh how did I miss all this greatness. I had better not miss anymore. I hope I subscribed right!

Join Paul Taggart for an in-depth discussion in this video Photographing Rothchild's giraffes at a preserve, part of Wildlife Photography: Nature Preserve.
- Once Cathy had the truck placed just in the right spot inside the Rothschild's pen, she got out of the truck, and almost immediately these giraffes came over, completely surrounded the truck, made this big truck look very tiny, all of the sudden. - Rothschild's giraffe numbers are so very scary low, there are less than 700 Rothschild's on this entire planet. - That's what these guys are? - That's what these guys are. Rothschild's giraffes, yeah. So absolutely critically endangered. The most critically endangered of the giraffe species remaining.
We happen to have these five boys because they were out at San Diego Safari Park, where they were able to breed with the other species. So a whole bunch of us thought it was in these boys best interest to be here, so they don't hybridize. So they stay as pure Rothschild's. We will always have the boys here. This is always going to be the boys club here. We'll never have the girls. Our closest non-genetically less breedable female is up in Canada. What we're going to have to do is use high-tech artificial insemination to save this ancient, ancient species.
- Lucky for me as a photographer, there were no females here on the preserve. If there had been a female present, I wouldn't have had the access that I did, and I wouldn't be able to make the pictures as intimate, as close to these giraffes because they'd be way too aggressive. These giraffes weren't scared of us at all. These huge heads were right in my face. I had to mix up my gear a little bit, because I was ready to shoot them from far away with a 300 millimeter lens. Right off the bat I realized, wow, this is going to be a wide-angled shoot. I put a 20 millimeter on there and started working.
They were so close that I was actually having a hard time focusing. It's kind of funny, because usually when I'm photographing people or a story, I'm always trying to get amazing access. I'm trying to get as close as possible. And this is one of the rare instances where the subject was actually too close. I was almost photographing just eyes and eyelashes. One thing that was really apparent was that I was just in the moment. I was having a ball. The crew was having fun. It was one of these life experiences that few people ever get.
Most people never get to be surrounded by giraffes, much less an endangered species like the Rothschild giraffes, which there's less than 700 of them on the planet right now living in the wild. So this is a really special moment, but at the same time, if you let yourself get away from what your job at hand is, which is making pictures, it can be dangerous, because I'm only here for a couple hours. So I took a lot of photos and wasn't really getting the satisfaction that I was really nailing a certain image. Wasn't quite sure what that image was, but I wasn't feeling it.
So I switched gears in my head, stopped focusing on having too much fun, and got down to business. Which meant me making some decisions on what I could do in this situation. So, I decided, you know what? I'm just going to focus on parts of the giraffe. I'm going to start looking at this much more abstractly. So I would photograph just the mane and the hairs on the mane. The patterns on their skin, which were amazing. Photographing just an eyeball. I actually got a self portrait at one point, of my reflection in their huge eye, which is about that big.
I just started having fun. Also, I wanted to add that little bit of comedy that I always talk about with photo essays. The giraffes have these silly tongues and they're sticking them out all the time, so I nailed off one shot that was a bit closer of just the tongue and the funny shape. I think it will make it in the final essay. It's a fun image. While photographing the giraffes, Cathy was actually doing a bit of training. - Tiger, step up. Step up. - She was also talking to me about why she trains these animals. She's not training them to do tricks or anything like this.
She's just getting them familiar with her touching their bodies so she can take samples, take care of their hooves, administer medicine, all these kinds of things. And from learning what she was doing, it kind of allowed me to realize what I can access with these animals. She would use a long stick with a blue dot on the end, and she would play these games where she could actually get the giraffes to move their heads in different places. This was beneficial to me, because once I realized what she was doing, I could start making pictures around her activities.
Which meant, for the first time, I could actually take portraits of these giraffes and not hundreds of feet away with a long lens, but intimately and up close. I was also able to photograph underneath the giraffes, shooting straight up at the sun, making it into a flare, which was fun and unique. Usually when we see these sort of zoo or preserve photographs, we're so far away and our vantage point is always the same. This was unique because the giraffes were surrounding me, rather than me looking in on them and I wanted to take advantage of that.
Shooting so many images that close with just the wide angle was getting a bit boring to me, and so I was taking note that for these giraffes I'm going to need some different types of photographs. Either now or later on in the day, I need to come here and photograph these giraffes from farther away and from the ground. I needed to get out of the pickup truck and in the dirt to make the picture I wanted. Because of our schedule, I wasn't able to do it right then, but I let Cathy know the exact kind of photograph that I wanted and that if we had time at the end of the day I would want to come back and try to make that image.
Once the giraffes started to get bored with me and the film crew, they decided to take a little break and they walked a couple hundred feet away from us. I kept an eye on them, just to see what they were doing and they started to play. And they were just having fun with each other. They've got these little horns, and they're not sharp but they kind of were head-butting each other and just being boys and playing around. I whipped out the 300 millimeter lens and got some longer shots of them, which was nice. Visually, I wanted to mix it up so it wasn't all just wide-angle photography. Also, I started to realize I don't want to just isolate these animals for every single photograph.
Part of the magic of this place is watching the animals interact together. And this was an opportunity to do that. I think I got some solid images of the giraffes. They were a lot of fun. I got to do some abstract images, so the project is going to feel a little bit more artful. But I didn't quite get the image that I really wanted from them. I still wanted to get out of the truck, on the ground, and look up at these massive kings of the wild. And in order to do that, I was going to have to come back later in the day. So I mentioned this to Cathy and she said, time permitting, yeah, we'll come back, we'll get you out of the truck, and we'll make those images.
But from there, we need to move on and visit some of the other species.

St Mary the Virgin
Hesket-in-the-Forest
Church of England Diocese of Carlisle Hesket in the Forest
The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Hesket-in-the-Forest, is in the village of High Hesket. Hescath, Hescayth or Hesket means a house in the forest; or in old norse it means a horse race track.
The earliest chapelry in Inglewood Forest may have been here in c1200. It is documented that in 1340 there was a chapelry in the parish of St. Mary's, Carlisle when Bishop Kirkly licensed John de Eskeved priest to minister at Hesket and to teach grammar at the Bishop's School in Penrith. This chapel may have been built by Sir William Langleys, the King's Chief Forester 1328-1342.
St Mary's chancel and its lovely stone arch date from 1537, when, because of the plague, Hesket was licensed to have its own burial ground and to act as a parochial chapel. The nave and aisle were rebuilt in 1720 in Georgian style. The western porch was added in the early 18th century. An organ loft and three-decker pulpit were removed in 1874 and the present organ given by the James family of Barrock Park the same year. The oak box pews were removed in 1906 and replaced by pine pews and in 1950 the oak choir stalls were moved to their present position.
Services are held on the 1st, 2nd and 4th Sunday at 11am. On a 5th Sunday a benefice service is held in one of the other 6 churches in the group at the earlier time of 10.30am. Please pay us a visit, we would love to see you.
A Service of Remembrance will be held at St Mary's on Sunday 10th November 2019 at 10:30am.
St Mary's is open every day for prayer and visiting.

Jaxson's Birthday was on May 29th-he turned 5. His big gift was a digital camera that Chuck and Dianne got him, hence the images up above. We went to Chuck and Dianne's for Friday night through Sunday and it was great! Jaxson and Brenden had a great time and Karen and I got time to relax and rest. We all came back refreshed from the weekend only to have a birthday party of about 24 family members on Sunday. It was fun having everyone over. Brenden and Jaxson had a great time. At the end of the evening Jill and the 3 nephews were all still over so I got a lot of uncle time in with Zane and Trae. It truely was a blessed weekend.
Work has been tougher. First and foremost, I am thankful I still have a job. We have had more permanent layoffs, some temporary layoffs, job title/position changes, wage reductions, benefit reductions etc…-yeah I know sounds like every company right now. I volunteered to take 4-5 weeks off this Summer to help. I may have a surgery sometime in July or maybe it won't happen-either way I thought it was mutually beneficial to both Pictura and myself. I will get more time with the family and may actually get to travel a little bit too. The good news is that I have a position is waiting for me when I get back. Again I feel very blessed.
Team Baty Sisu-so tonight was our banquet for the event we had back in April. I can proudly say that our team was recognized and won 5 awards. We won: Best Team Identifier, First New Team to 25 members, First New Team to $500, First Overall Team to $1,000 and one of the teams that had 50 or more members-they credited us for 59 members but I know we had some late additions so we probably crossed over 60. Sarah and I went up front to accept the awards, but other team members: Pete, Nathan and Dan were there with us. Overall the event had 4,200 people participate, there were 100 teams and the event itself raised $110,000. The banquest itself was only 100 people. It was invite only and your team had to meet certain criteria, or be up for awards to be eligible to go. Team captain, Sarah, was awesome! There was no way I could have done half the stuff that she did-she even got us one of Lance Armstrong's busses! Sarah and I left feeling challenged to do an even better job next year. We will need all of your help again and even more. We definitely want over 100 team members next year! Thank you so much for all who participated, sent donations or were with us there in spirit.
Tomorrow kicks off round 15. It looks like one way or the other I am heading for a bit of a chemo break after this one. I have scans on June 17th(MRI and PET), review with Dr. Duane on the 19th. I then have a meeting again with the Surgeon on the 25th. If the cancer is growing then I would guess we will possibly try yet another chemical mix, but that may not happen until either the 3rd or 4th week after this last round. Overall I am feeling pretty good. I have felt the best I have since at least Jan. I have more strength and stamina. It feels like quite the bounce back compared to how I was feeling the first few days of my last round of chemo. I am hoping and praying that this round won't beat me up as much.
Thank you for all your prayers, thoughts and well wishes!
Can't believe Jaxson is five already! Just like Brady.
All I can say is–Karen and Chris, you are two awesome people!! We love you and pray for you!
I miss seeing your smiling face in person every day! But I can always come to this site and see it up top!! Hope this next round goes well for you. You have such inspiring strength! Glad to hear you will have some time off work to spend with family soon. That will be great and I hope the weather cooperates the whole time, so you have lots of fun outdoors!
P.S. – I have those comfy shoes from John and will figure out how to get them to you soon. He said they run small, so hopefully they'll fit. They're sort of an off-white (not sure if the color you wanted), but stylish and look comfortable!

Jewish World Review Jan. 13, 2010 / 27 Teves 5770
Playing Race-Card 'Gotcha'
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | There is so much to enjoy about the Democrats' Harry Reid problem, and yet I find the whole spectacle horribly depressing.
First, let's recap the bright side. The addlepated and vindictive Senate majority leader is under fire for saying — according to the new book "Game Change" — that Barack Obama would make a promising Democratic presidential contender because he's "light-skinned" and can speak "Negro dialect" only when he wants to.
He deserves the grief. Just last month, Reid insinuated that fellow senators standing in the way of "Obamacare" were carrying on the tradition of the racists who stood in the way of civil rights in the 1960s. That he's been caught talking like one of those racists is a delicious irony.
But irony is one thing. Scalp-hunting is another.
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said over the weekend that Reid should step down from his leadership position because of his comments. For this we needed the first African-American head of the Republican Party?
Steele is obviously right that there's a double standard when it comes to such racial gaffes. A Republican says something stupidly offensive or offensively stupid about race and he must be destroyed, even if he apologizes like Henry in the snows of Canossa. But when a Democrat blunders the same way, the liberal establishment goes into overdrive explaining why it's no big deal.
But by demanding Reid's resignation, Steele is making an idiotic, nasty and entirely cynical game bipartisan. Yes, there's a double standard, but the point is that the standard used against conservatives is unfair, not that that unfair standard should be used against Democrats as well.
Whatever Steele's other strengths and weaknesses may be, a major benefit of having a black leader for the GOP was, for me, that Republicans could have a more credible voice in attacking the unfairness of such race-driven scalp hunts. What will Steele's position be when some tired Republican hack politician accidentally says something Reid-like down the road? Shall the GOP, for consistency's sake, demand he or she step down?
The real, sad lesson of this episode is that we have somehow come to define racism as disagreeing with the Democratic Party or its African-American base. Reid's defenders told Politico they're planning to disseminate the NAACP voting score of Republicans who criticize Reid, as if voting against the NAACP is a test of your racial conscience.
The Congressional Black Caucus says Reid's comments are forgivable because he's advancing the Democratic agenda. Translation: If you aren't advancing the Democratic agenda and you slip up, prepare to be branded a racist and pelted off the public stage.
Heck, you don't really even have to slip up. We've spent much of the last year being told that "tea party" protesters are unforgivably racist for complaining about high taxes and deficits. But ruminating on Obama's light skin and versatility with the "Negro dialect" is merely forgivably inappropriate.
Democrats have so completely mastered this practice and internalized their own heroic narrative, they are completely at home with their cognitive dissonance. For instance, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is reportedly one of Reid's biggest defenders. Schumer won his Senate seat in 1998 in large part by insinuating that his opponent, Alfonse D'Amato, was an anti-Semite because D'Amato had allegedly dubbed Schumer a "putzhead" in a private meeting with Jewish supporters.
The bittersweet irony is that racism is such a nonissue in U.S. politics today. Most of the "black agenda" is simply a throwback to the ethnic spoils game played by Italians, Germans, Jews and the Irish in previous generations. But we've absurdly elevated racial pork barrel into a test of one's soul. It's no more racist to oppose spending on the "digital divide" than it is anti-Irish to oppose pay increases for Boston firemen.
No politicians in either party are calling for Jim Crow-style segregation or anything remotely like that. Instead, we have one party that, for the most part, says it wants special benefits for blacks and certain other minorities in order to compensate for past discrimination, and another party that, for the most part, wants to live up to the colorblind ideal found in the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s poetry about judging people by the content of their character. Both points of view are well intentioned. But only the Democratic position gets lacquered with a thick coating of self-serving sanctimony and the benefit of the doubt from the media.
Alas, rather than discrediting this charade, the Reid affair is only reinforcing it. And that's far worse than anything he said.


In the past, it was almost impossible to say healthy and fast food in the same sentence. But in recent years with all the slamming of fast food restaurants on contributing to the obesity of the American Public, things have improved greatly. If you pay attention, Healthy Fast Foods are available and you can now get a lower calorie and healthy meal at most fast food restaurants.
What we are going to try and do in this article is give you some methods to choose the healthiest fast food from any popular restaurant. There are quite a few obvious characteristics of high calorie and bad fat choices that are easy to spot. And there are also ways to determine the healthiest fast foods from available menu items. The trick is using a few guidelines to get the lowest calorie and fat content but still enjoy your meal. This is much easier since the menu items change with the weather at most fast food restaurants.
There are really three very important considerations when selecting the healthiest fast food. The number of calories, the amount and type of fat, and especially the amount of bad boy trans fats. Trans fats are the worst possible type of fats to consume and your daily consumption should be 0, yep no trans fats are the goal. I often refer to trans fats as the widow maker of all the different types of fats since it contributes to Diabetes, Coronary Heart Disease, and Strokes. No kidding, daily consumption of trans fats will kill you, maybe not today but eventually.
So basically no healthy fast foods should contain trans fats, acceptable amounts of calories, and as little bad fat as possible. Good fats (fats that come from vegetable oils) are unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats are polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fats. The bad fats are saturated fats, found in animal products (poultry skin, high-fat dairy, meat, and eggs) and in some vegetable fats like coconut and palm oils. Based on most nutritionists, it's OK to have about 7% of your calories from bad fats. There are quite a few good foods as far as basic nutrition goes but do have a small number of bad fats like an Avacodo.
These simple and easy to follow rules can be applied to any restaurant meals but are especially useful at fast food restaurants since they fry almost everything if they can. As an example, you can get a milkshake and a double cheeseburger from any of the popular fast food places. Let's throw in some onion rings to make it a meal.
So the three above selections are the worst possible scenarios and come to a total of 2500 calories and at least 100 grams of fat for one meal but I chose them to make a point. Even at half the numbers of calories and fat, you can see the problem with fast food restaurants. But we only have ourselves to blame, we buy this stuff so they sell it. You can very easily hit 1300-1500 calories on bad choices in any fast food restaurant. But the good news is many now have some healthy fast foods choices too. After getting tons of bad press, almost all restaurants do two things that can help you get the healthiest fast food. First, they list the calories and amounts of fats on most items. Second, they offer low calorie and fat dishes that actually taste good.
That's not a bad meal on both taste or getting your fill. At a total calorie count of 560, low-fat meat, and the good fat in the walnuts, it's a well-balanced meal. Even children would go for this so it's a good choice all around. Most fast food places have similar choices that provide good nutrition and low calories and fat. When I was looking at the McDonalds menu I saw at least 7 or 8 combinations that fit these criteria and offer the healthiest fast food.
The best way to get the healthiest fast food is to check out the menu items on the calorie and fat content. Use the guidelines above and you should be able to get a good meal for around 500-600 calories. The biggest change is that most fast food restaurants have changed the cooking oil to one that doesn't have trans fats. That's made a huge difference in the number of calories and bad fat. Healthy fast foods choice are there, you just have to pay attention when ordering.

United edge Kings in Cup Eve classic
Darren Snowdon
Melbourne United's Melo Trimble (right) gets away from Sydney Kings' Casper Ware. Credit: AAP
Melbourne United have ended the Sydney Kings' undefeated start to the NBL season with a memorable 107-104 victory on Monday night.
With a packed Melbourne Arena creating a playoff-type atmosphere, United lifted in the closing stages to end Sydney's unbeaten run at six games, earning back-to-back wins in the process.
Casper Ware starred for the Kings with 34 points in his first clash against his former club, including a three-pointer with 40 seconds on the clock to give his side a 102-101 lead.
But after Shawn Long put United back on top, Ware missed a baseline jump shot with David Barlow pulling down a crucial rebound before nailing two free throws for an unsportsmanlike foul.
Up 105-102, Melo Trimble and Barlow each made one shot from the line to close out the dramatic win.
"I love that we hung tough," coach Dean Vickerman said after United knocked off the competition leaders.
"A lot of times there they had some good little runs and we kept weathering little storms, and you go back in your mind and there are a bunch of massive plays."
Sydney overcame a slow start to lead by 11 points as their bench outscored Melbourne's reserves 30-8 in the first half.
But the Kings lost their coach Will Weaver after he was sensationally ejected from the game for arguing with the referees following Sydney's final play of the half.
"At the end of the day, you hate to say it's one reason you lost but some combination of me giving them extra free throws, and us going 57 per cent from the free-throw line is probably why we will struggle to go to sleep tonight," Weaver said, though he also praised the way his team battled through their second road game in three days.
Trimble scored 10 of his team-high 27 points in the third quarter to level the scores, then put United 92-91 ahead with a steal and basket midway through the fourth quarter.
Chris Goulding (22 points) and Long (20 points, 14 rebounds) also helped steer their side to victory.
Reserve guard Shaun Bruce scored 14 for the Kings while another former United player played his part, forward Daniel Kickert adding 13.
In the early exchanges, Andrew Bogut found Ware cutting to the basket for a Kings basket but it was United grabbing a 10-2 lead through Long and Barlow.
Then Sydney's bench came to the party with Bruce knocking down a pair of threes in quick succession before Kickert closed the quarter with five points to hand the visitors a 29-25 edge.
The three-pointers flowed from both teams early in the second stanza, but when Bruce and Kickert combined for eight Kings points in a row, Sydney's lead grew to 11 approaching halftime.
United replied to trail 55-48, but a no-call on the final possession of the half enraged Weaver - the Kings coach disqualified from the second half after remonstrating with the officials.
After the break, Goulding sank the two technical free throws then added another basket as the contest tightened up, United coach Dean Vickerman picking up a technical foul of his own as emotions started to run high.
But the home side kept their cool as Trimble completed a 10-point third quarter with a three-point play to tie the game 76-76 and set up the epic final term.

LEBANON: Palestinian Refugees Face Systematic Discrimination
By Simba Shani Kamaria Russeau	Reprint | | Print |
Simba Russeau
BEIRUT, Oct 26 2007 (IPS) - Denied access to social services, education, adequate housing and employment, Palestinian refugees in Lebanon continue to suffer discrimination and marginalisation.
More than half of the 400,000 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon have been forced to live in segregated ghettos since they were forced to flee their lands and homes after the creation of Israel in 1948.
"Palestinians just want security, freedom and justice," says Fatima, a local resident of the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in northern Lebanon. "What happened to my grandfather, my father and my brother is happening to us now. Do the youth have to experience the same situation as our parents?"
Daily life for Palestinians involves dealing with the pains of living in exile, and systematic discrimination.
"We are homeless, so let us live in freedom and safety. Is this treatment only for the Palestinian people? Is it because the Palestinians don't have a leader? It's a shame," Fatima adds.
All 12 of the official refugee camps in Lebanon suffer from inadequate infrastructure, overcrowding, poverty and high unemployment.
"Lebanon has one of the highest percentage of Palestinian refugees, who are living in abject poverty and who are registered with the Agency's 'special hardship' programme," the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Rights in the Near East (UNRWA) has said.
Lebanon, as a member of the Arab League, officially recognises the State of Palestine. But the reciprocity law, which permits foreigners to work in Lebanon only if they are nationals of a state that opens its labour market to Lebanese nationals, has created obstacles for Palestinians in finding employment – they are stateless.
"The continuing restrictions which deny Palestinian refugees rights to work, education and adequate housing and health are wholly unjustified and should be lifted without further procrastination or delay," says Amnesty International.
At a press conference in Beirut last week, Amnesty International (AI) released a 31-page report 'Exiled and Suffering: Palestinian refugees in Lebanon'. Amnesty urged the Lebanese government to fully protect and uphold the basic human rights of Palestinian refugees.
"We urge the Lebanese government to take immediate measures to eliminate all forms of discrimination against Palestinian refugees in order to enable them to exercise their economic, social and cultural rights on the same basis as the rest of the population of Lebanon," the report said.
In 2005, the Lebanese government lifted a ban on 50 of the 70 professions declared off-limits to Palestinians. But still, only a few can afford a work permit.
Since the 15-week Nahr al-Bared clashes, many Palestinians have reported being abused and threatened by soldiers at checkpoints.
Earlier this year, fighting broke out between the Lebanese Army and the Islamist group Fatah al-Islam at the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp. The conflict, which began May 20 and ended Sep. 2, left at least 400 people dead, including an unknown number of Palestinian civilians, and 169 Lebanese soldiers. Some 30,000 residents were forced to flee to the nearby Baddawi refugee camp in Tripoli in Lebanon. The infrastructure, water and sewage system at Nahr al-Bared were destroyed.
Speaking at a donor conference in Beirut last month, Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora requested 400 million dollars from international donors to rebuild Nahr al-Bared.
"Failing to rebuild Nahr al-Bared will mean catastrophic consequences," said Siniora. "We cannot risk chaos and violence in any of Lebanon's 11 other camps. If we fail to rebuild, it will not only be tragic, but the dangers will be limitless. This was a wake-up call."
But that would still leave fundamental issues unresolved. "The Lebanese Army and the internal security forces are basically looking upon Palestinians as a threat," says Rania Masri, assistant professor at the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Balamand in Lebanon.
Many Lebanese blame the Palestinians for allowing Fatah al-Islam into Nahr al-Bared, and say that it is reconstruction and their return that could re-ignite violence. But some analysts believe that there will be a renewed cooperation in the reconstruction effort.
"This is the first time that the Palestinian leadership is working with the Lebanese government to improve security in the camps. This should turn a new page in the history of Palestinian-Lebanese relations in Lebanon and ease hostilities of the civil war years," says Paul Salem, director of the Carnegie Middle East Centre. "This should also coax the Lebanese government to grant Palestinian refugees in Lebanon social and economic rights."

Israel - Palestine


"Indeed, it is more than likely that many of the civilian casualties being repeatedly mentioned in the media are in fact Hezbollah fighters killed while hiding in civilian clothes. This does not excuse Israeli mistakes that have undoubtedly cost the lives of genuinely innocent civilians, but exaggeration and Hezbollah tactics of mixing combat fighters among civilians clearly accounts for a fair percentage of the lives lost so far," reports Asia Times.
'Mothers don't let your children grow up and date Nasrallahs.' The country of Lebanon seems to have decided to date Nasrallah. Southern mothers were clearly not in control. Pity. "Crying shame."


Although many have already heard, we regret to inform you that Thursday evening, November 1st, 2018, Chris Houchin passed away after his battle with esophageal cancer.
We would like to thank you all for your kind thoughts, prayers, and donations to help Chris in his fight. It's been a struggle this past year to watch the hardship on him and his family. But seeing the overwhelming support and care from our industries and community has given them much needed comfort.

Hug your family, share a smile with a stranger, tell a coworker how much you appreciate them. Do it for Chris, because now that he's gone we all need to pick up the slack.
Our brother, friend, and colleague will be missed. Please keep Melissa, the kids, his entire family, and all his friends in your prayers in the coming days.

More than just a detail, the "." in Aftermath's Anderson .Paak's name is a shot fired, putting the world on notice of an artist unlike anything the twenty-first century has ever seen. With a soulful essence harkening back to some of the most iconic voices of the seventies, yet embodying a raw uniqueness fully present in the now, the acclaimed singer/rapper/drummer/producer has managed to successfully alchemize a cross-section of musical styles – R&B, hip-hop, and dance – into a solid, undeniable, irresistible "genre-less sound." A rabid worldwide fan base, praise from a host of critics at outlets including Rolling Stone, Billboard, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Pitchfork, and electrifying appearances on Ellen, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show Starring artists on the music scene today.
Born Brandon Paak Anderson in Oxnard, California, as a teen he played drums in his church band and later famously worked at a marijuana farm, all while honing his musical chops and in pursuit of his dreams. And while shining glimpses of his extraordinary talent were evident in his first incarnation as Breezy Lovejoy, it was fully realized in his transformation into Anderson .Paak, with his debut album Venice and a stellar six-song run on Dr. Dre's certified Gold COMPTON album, that stoked anticipation for what would be the perfect storm of his sophomore release, 2016's Malibu. A seamless tsunami of soul-stirring, body-shaking, infectious and deeply-personal songs with features by ScHoolboy Q, The Game, Talib Kweli, BJ The Chicago Kid, and Rapsody, also with first-class production by 9th Wonder, Dem Jointz, Robert Glasper, Kaytranada, Madlib, Hi-Tek, and more, the album was a sonic wonder, met with universal rave reviews. .Paak won the 2016 Grulke Prize at South by Southwest, received Grammy nods for Best New Artist and Best Urban Contemporary Album, nods for the BET Hip Hop Award's Best New Hip-Hop Artist and the NME Award's Best New Artist, won the Soul Train Music Award's Best New Artist, Album of the Year at Gilles Peterson's 2016 Worldwide Awards in London, and Malibu was certified Gold in Europe. His monster hit Come Down was delightfully inescapable, heard in several popular television shows and major commercial campaigns for the NBA and Nike, and Am I Wrong? reached the #1 spot on Billboard and Clio's Top TV Commercials chart after being featured in the Google ad "Joy Ride by You, Phone by Google." Later in 2016, as part of the duo NxWorries with collaborator/producer Knxwledge, came the release of the album Yes Lawd! (the title echoing Paak's signature phrase), a hit with critics and fans alike that reached #3 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop chart.
In his relatively short career, the prolific .Paak has self-published over 100 songs to market. In 2017, he established the nonprofit organization, .Paak House, committed to creating safe havens for the next generation and cultivating alliances with like-minded nonprofits for a greater united impact. .Paak has also acquired impressive list of collaborations including acts such as Mac Miller (whose song Dang! featuring .Paak was certified Gold), Chance the Rapper, Rapsody, A Tribe Called Quest, and his band The Free Nationals, a steady stream of requests to work with some of the industry's most renowned artists, and an instant hit Til It's Over, heard in the Spike Jonze directed commercial "Welcome Home" for Apple's HomePod starring FKA Twigs, as well as a monster single in "Bubblin" that saw a Jimmy Kimmel Live! Performance and won him his first GRAMMY for Best Rap Performance in 2019. .Paak also made his debut SNL appearance performing "Tints" as well as "Who R U?" off his recent album Oxnard, his third LP and first on Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. The album marked a career high for him debuting as the #1 Independent album in the country according to Billboard as well as debuting at #5 on the Rap chart, #6 on the Hip Hop/R&B chart and #11 on the Top 200. The phenomenal album was executive produced by Dr. Dre and features the likes of hip-hop legends Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, J. Cole, Q-Tip, and Pusha T. Following the album's release, .Paak has been on a sold-out tour in both the US and Europe, with fans anxious to see his energetic and captivating live performances.

Willie Wynn & Friends "Willie Wynn & Friends" Album Review
By Timothy Yap Mar 06, 2014 05:49 AM EST
The word "friends" take depth and dimension in the life of Willie Wynn. Wynn is not someone who makes fair weather friends and then burns the bridges at the advent of stormy weathers. When he makes friends, they are his friends for life. If you want proof, a casual perusal of this CD's liner notes will give affirmation. Some of the guests who appear on this record (which include the Oak Ridge Boys, Ponder Sykes and Wright, Bill Gaither, Ben Speer, Sweetwater and Tennesseans, Elmer Cole, Gene McDonald and Dave Maddox) have already bonded a friendship with Wynn for more than half a century. Moreover, after years of retirement, it was also at the behest of Wynn's long time friend (and producer) Woody Wright that this record came to fruition. And besides surrounding the recording with his friends' support, songs that expound on the theme of friendship flourish across these 11 newly recorded songs.
To fans of Southern Gospel music, Willie Wynn, also known as "Little Willie," needs no introduction. Despite the various permutations Oak Ridge Quartet/Boys has had undergone over the years, Wynn was one of earliest to lend his tenor to the quartet (1956-1973). After his stint with the Oaks, he spent some time with the Statesmen before starting his own quartet in 1975 called the Tennesseans. Later the group evolved into the Sweetwaters in the 80s. And in the 90s, Wynn was singing part time with a group known as Destiny before calling it quits for good. Thus, it is a marvel that Little Willie would once again return to the studios with Woody Wright in the recording of this project.
Despite its titular "Willie Wynn and Friends," his friends for the most part only play a supportive role in providing the harmony vocals with the limelight still resting on Wynn himself. The album finds Wynn re-visiting some old favorites as well as newer material. The Woody Wright-penned "The Oak Ridge Boys and Me" is the album's nerve center. Biographical of Wynn's own journey from his early childhood to his time with the Oak Ridge Quartet/Boys, "The Oak Ridge Boys and Me" is apologetic of Wynn's life mission: as long as his songs continue to touch lives, he finds his time justified. And Wynn's mission is definitely accomplished with a song like the Elmer Cole composed "My Friends." Here Wynn demonstrates his zeal for the Gospel in detailing that his utmost wish for his friends is that he might one day see them all in heaven.
Using the call and response modus operandi, Wynn trades vocals with Bill Gaither on the assuring "'Til the Last Leaf Shall Fall from the Tree." In the wrong hands "Mama's Last Amen" could sound disastrously saccharine. But in the mastery grasp of Wynn, with just the right restrain and nuances, "Mama's Last Amen" is an extremely moving piece. The Sweetwaters offer their help to "Lord I Hope This Day is Good;," a song popularized by Don Williams and later by Lee Ann Womack. Nevertheless, regardless of the copious covers, the starkly honest lyrics still has the ability to impact the heart: "Lord, I hope this day is good/I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood/I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should/But Lord I hope this day is good." In the company of good friends, well-chosen songs, and Wright's contemporary yet reverently country backings, there's not much here to complain about.

Let's start with similarities between the two types of practitioners. After all, they both tend to be part of the same Marketing organization, right?
Specialize in forms of marketing data.
Analyze and interpret large amounts of data, often from disparate sources.
Help marketing organizations be more successful (website, campaigns, etc.).
Tend to have "T-shaped" skill sets (here's mine as an example), with deep knowledge in core areas, and general knowledge about marketing and/or web stuff.
Are in relatively new, developing disciplines (compared to Accounting, for example).
Focus in time: Web Analysts tend to focus on past performance, or increasingly on the "real time" present. Conversion Optimization specialists tend to focus on the future of "what could be" if certain changes were made to a campaign, landing page, or experience.
Web Analysts tend to be more comfortable swimming around in data, and tend to be more comfortable with large data sets (structured or unstructured). Conversion Optimization specialists are more likely to stay within the UI of their testing software, and less likely to use spreadsheets to pivot, chart, etc.
Conversion Optimization specialists tend to focus much more on human psychology, especially that of the target audience. They play in the qualitative world of influence factors, motivation, intent, and persuasion. Web Analysts tend to stick to the quantitative measures of how many people did X, how often, in which channels.
Web Analysts are extremely competent at finding patterns in data, and at finding anomalies in data. They are the crucial "middle layer" between the deluge of data that flows into marketing organizations every hour, and powerful insights that drive business improvement.
For me, the best way to get to the net summation of this is to say that Web Analysts are primarily concerned with looking for patterns (and anomalies) in data, and communicating those findings to a business audience. A great Web Analyst needs to know how to communicate data in a visual way, as well as be a good "storyteller" with data.
Conversion Optimization specialists are primarily concerned with the "levers of change" that marketers have at their disposal. This is very broad, and could include things like pricing/promotion, design language, persuasion, copywriting styles, usability, and more. These folks spend the bulk of their time playing with these levers (via experimentation) to understand which ones can be used in which situations, and what the caused effect is.
The best way for these two types of specialists to work together is for Web Analysts to surface insights from the large marketing data set, and communicate them to the Conversion Optimization specialist. The Web Analyst might have theories about the "why" of the behavioral data, but should ultimately defer to the Optimization specialist when it comes to qualitative data and user behavior.
The Conversion Optimization specialist should take the insights from here and develop hypotheses around them, test plans to attempt to prove the hypotheses, etc. They should guide the ideas through a tactical experimentation process, and interpret the final results if they are statistically significant.
The test results should be fed back to the Web Analyst afterwards to help them better understand the behavior of the target audience, which will help them more easily find valuable insights and anomalies in the future.
In a perfect world, you can see that a fantastic feedback loop can be created, both specialists can become more efficient, and rainbows and unicorns can frolic under blue skies, filling our Marketing days with laughter, joy, cinnamon, and spice.
Also, the cops will have wooden legs and the bulldogs will all have rubber teeth and the hens will lay soft-boiled eggs and the farmers' trees will be full of fruit and the barns will be full of hay. (It's a song).

A study by economist Chris Manning pointed to several trends that helped to spread the benefits of economic growth throughout the rural population in the 1970s and 1980s. The demand for agricultural workers declined less dramatically than that in other nations during similar technological changes, even as the supply of agricultural labor in more densely populated areas was reduced by the central government's Transmigration Program (transmigrasi--see Glossary). Rice production was increased in part by expanding irrigation, which permitted more frequent rice crops per year. More frequent crops in turn required more labor to seed and harvest. With tiny Javanese rice plots rendering mechanical techniques such as handheld tractors impractical, mechanization did not rapidly replace farm laborers. Improvements in transportation and general economic growth permitted poorer rural households to migrate to urban areas in offpeak seasons, where these workers often labored in the informal sector for higher wages than offpeak farm employment could offer. In 1985 BPS surveys indicated that 36 percent of rural households earned a major share of income from nonagricultural work, and more than 50 percent of rural households reported some income from work outside agriculture. Other evidence suggested an increasing share of this income came from urban-based employment.
Nevertheless, poverty in Indonesia remained largely a rural problem. In the late 1980s, 35 percent of the rural population on Java lived below the poverty line, compared with 25 percent in rural areas in the Outer Islands and only 8 percent in urban areas. The most innovative and controversial government response to these conditions was an extensive Transmigration Program that financed the relocation of poor rural families from Java, Madura, and Bali to locations primarily on Sumatra, but also to Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Irian Jaya. The sponsored migrants were required to be married, of good character, and to have farming experience. Migrant families received a small house and about one hectare of rain-fed cropland. A village center with public facilities such as schools and health clinics was provided by the government. Most settlements engaged in food cultivation and were expected to be self-sufficient at the end of five years; some migrants participated in the Nucleus Estate Programs.
During Repelita I through III, FY 1969-83, almost 500,000 families had been moved under officially sponsored programs. An ambitious expansion to 400,000 sponsored families and an additional 350,000 unsponsored migrants was targeted during Repelita IV. Because of severe budget cutbacks beginning in FY 1986, only around 230,000 families were successfully sponsored during Repelita IV. Repelita V targets were substantially lower; in FY 1989, only about 10,000 of a targeted 27,000 households were resettled. However, spontaneous migration without government assistance continued to be significant. The 1980 population census showed that the population of spontaneous migrants in Outer Island rural areas was more than twice that of sponsored migrants, although it is likely that spontaneous migration was facilitated by the government-sponsored programs. The problems confronted by the government Transmigration Program included land disputes with the local population and environmental concerns over the suitability of land for settled agriculture (see Forestry , this ch.).
