Q: Why do I not get my desired category in the new columns with case_when, in R? I am trying to create a new column, first_attack, with several conditions based on 3 columns. I am trying to achieve this with tidyverse only. Here are my conditions:

*

*if I have Yes in one column, regardless of other categories (No/Unknown/NA) in the same id across columns: previous_cabg, previous_pci, previous_ami then assign Yes in test variable

*if I have No in all columns for the same id then assign NO for the test variable

*if I have NO for one column and NA/Unknown  in the other columns for the same id then assign with  No in the test variable

*if I have Yes in all column for the same id then assign Yes  in the test variable

*if I haveYes in one column and  NA/Unknownfor the same id in each column then assignYes`in test variable

This is the type of dataset I have:

I thought the best is to use case_when. Thus, I oddly I proceeded with it. This is the code.
  test_first_attack <- sample_n %>%
      dplyr::mutate(first_attack =
                      dplyr::case_when(

                                        previous_cabg == 'No'  | previous_pci == 'Yes' | previous_ami == 'Yes' ~ 'Yes',

As you can see, I get 'Yes' as output for the columns with id rows with NO across all the columns. Let alone taking into consideration more complex conditions like 'Unknown\NA\Yes' or other conditions.
Why I cannot get my desired output? Is there another way to achieve it with tidyverse only?

A: I think all you need is:
case_when(
    previous_cabg == 'Yes' | previous_pci == 'Yes' | previous_ami == 'Yes' ~  'Yes',
    previous_cabg == 'No' | previous_pci == 'No' | previous_ami == 'No' ~  'No',
    TRUE ~ "Unknown/NA"
)

The first line will result in a "Yes" for every row where at least one of the three test columns is "Yes". The rows that satisfy the first line of the case_when will not be tested for any subsequent conditions.
Of the remaining rows, the second line will result in a "No" where any of the three test columns is "No". The rows that meet the second line of the case_when will not be tested for any subsequent conditions.
The last line assigns "Unknown/NA" to all remaining rows, which should be only those rows that don't have any "Yes" or "No" values in the three test columns.
For completeness, here's a full reproducible example using your sample data:
library(tidyverse)

'Marilyn Manson Still Weird' Shocker...
Fiona Flynn
When he's not off spending his bands' millions on stuffed baboons and the caged skeletons of little children, Marilyn's attempting to devise a cunning plan to infiltrate the Guinness Book of World Records. A source close to the singer said: "Marilyn is desperate to get into the famous book, and wants to do it for something people will associate him with. He thought about all the wacky records he could try and break, and came across Jackie Bibby's record. That's when he decided he wanted to try and break it." And what did Jackie Bibby do? He only sat in a bath populated with 87 rattlesnakes for three quarters of an hour. Father-of-two Jackie - who holds four world records including holding eight rattlesnakes in his mouth by their tails (not as impressive as heads but how and ever) - has perfected the art of bathing with the venomous creatures. He said: "They can go wherever they want as long as they don't start biting. The key to not biting is for me to stay still. Rapid movement scares a rattlesnake. If you move real slow and gentle, that doesn't seem to bother them." Yeah and sure they'll probably just think they're bathing with an oversized deity of theirs; long, skinny, dead-eyed, clammy looking...

Many Indians find themselves overweight or obese despite following a healthy lifestyle. Do you struggle with extra stubborn fat in your belly, waist, or hips- which no matter what you do refuses to melt away? Regular exercise and healthy eating helps to lose some weight, but reach an impasse with the stubborn fat. When we gaze at the pictures of stars, models, and athletes, we are awed by their toned and trimmed physique. Getting rid of stubborn fat is not difficult if we first understand the biological role of fat and harness its power. Human body is a product of millions of years of evolution. Each part of our body is naturally selected to promote survival and reproduction. Fat, although vilified in the media, is essential to human existence. Any excess calories that we consume is stored as fat. Fat serves four crucial biological functions. Stored fat can-provide energy, generate heat, store toxins, and produce hormones. Let me explain, in the next section, the four key strategies to melt down stubborn fat.
1. Fat for Energy: All mammals require a constant supply of energy in the form of ATP to carry out the cellular functions. The common form of energy used by our body is glucose which we get from carbohydrates and protein. But in this process, all excess glucose is stored as fat for use in future. Our body can burn fat for fuel only after a 12-hour fasting when the glycogen store is depleted. Since, we rarely fast, or are out of food, the stored fat is never called for. The food industry makes it worse by constantly reminding us to eat all the time. This is good for the economy as more processed food are sold, but bad for the human body. Fasting is as important as eating and is practiced in all major religions. To use fat for energy, limit your eating time to an eight to ten-hour window in the day. This means, you should have your last meal three hours before sleep, and delay your breakfast to 3 hours after getting up. If you sleep 8 hours, this will produce a state of 14-hour fasting, forcing the body to burn fat for fuel during that time. You can check this easily. When you convert fat to energy, the body produces ketones. You can buy ketone strips online, which can detect ketones in the urine. The strips are inexpensive, and will confirm that your body is metabolizing fat for energy.
2. Fat for Heat: Animals in the wild, with no access to artificial heater, harness their body fat to survive winter. When exposed to cold, our body produces a special kind of fat called the Brown Fat- which produces heat. Research has shown that people who work outdoors during the winter month have a higher percentage of brown fat. Short exposure to intense cold can trigger fat burning. You can begin with short cold showers. You can progress to ice baths. Spending time outdoors during winter will also help. Cryotherapy which is used by athletes to boost recovery will also help. The head, face, and the back of neck are more susceptible to cold. Putting ice bags behind the neck region will work. Those who want to go even further can study the Wim Hoff method. Wim Hoff, also known as the Iceman successfully swam and ran bare body in the arctic, and climbed snowcapped mountains like Mt. Kilimanjaro. He has heralded a new science of using cold to improve health and treat diseases. Indian yogis of Himalayas, have also used similar methods to withstand extreme cold. However, people with low immunity, or those with chronic diseases- need to be careful. Cold- if it does not make you sick, will make you slim.
3. Detoxify Fat: Life exposes us to toxins daily. These toxins, if unchecked, can reach the blood, and poison the body. Again, fat comes to our rescue by storing the toxins. The more toxins you have in your body; the more fat the body must maintain to contain them. You can lose the fat by getting rid of the toxins. The body can detoxify through the skin, lungs, liver, urine, and stool. Drink clean filtered water throughout the day to pass toxins through your urine. Breathe clean air slowly and deeply to have more oxygen in your body. Ancient Indian breathing practices like Pranayama can help detoxify the body through increased oxygenation. Eat food rich in fiber on a regular basis to get rid of toxin through stool. You can use hot saunas or spend time outdoors in summer to drain toxins out through the skin by profuse sweating. High intensity exercises also detoxify the body through sweating and rapid breathing. Exercise on empty stomach burns more fat by increasing metabolic rate, and using fat for fuel. A diet rich in raw, organic, unprocessed fruits and vegetables detoxifies the liver. You can also try fasting on vegetable juices or bone broth which will cleanse your body from within.
4. Normalize Hormones: Fat cells release cholesterol which is the building block for vitamin D, steroids, estrogen, testosterone, and many other essential compounds. The use of chemicals and plastics products are causing hormonal imbalance. Plastics contain a compound called BPA which is a xeno-estrogen, and mimics the action of the hormone estrogen. Estrogen which is produced in excess during pregnancy in women, promotes fat storage in abdomen, breast and hips- to prepare the body for pregnancy and lactation. Men and non-pregnant women exposed to artificial chemicals notice fat deposit in theses body mimicking pregnancy. Minimize the use of plastics. Look for BPA free products. Use glass containers and utensils. This is also good for the environment as well as for health. Most animals in US are fed corn, and treated with hormones and antibiotics which promote fat storage. Only eat animal products which are grass fed and organic.
In summary, if you have too much fat in your body for too long, take it seriously. Chronic stubborn fat can cause insulin resistance, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and other metabolic problems. Realize-if you have fat in your body- this is for a reason. Use the fat for its biological role. Learn to burn fat for energy and heat. Live clean and consume fresh, high quality, unprocessed, organic food. This will minimize fat storage by eliminating toxins and normalizing your hormones levels. High intensity exercise, intermittent fasting, cold exposure, detoxification will get rid of the stubborn fat for most. However, every Body is unique. When in doubt, always consult your doctor. Wish you best luck in your fat loosing journey.

Clergyman arrested on suspicion of fraud over alleged discrepancies on wedding and funeral fees Canon Ian Finn,Finn, Grizzlies 2014 jerseys of Haverhill, has now been suspended from his duties by the Church of England following his arrest. The 55 year old was questioned over alleged financial irregularities relatingrelating womens Grizzlies shirts to part of fees which should have been passed to the diocese. Canon Finn was detained after police went his home yesterday. He was taken to the police investigation centre at Bury St Edmunds for questioning, before being released on bail pending further enquiries. Richard Jones, a spokesman for Suffolk Constabulary, confirmed an arrest had been made. He said: "A 55 year old man had been arrested on suspicion of fraud by false representation. He has been released on police bail until April 2." Following the clergyman's arrest John Howard, a spokesman for the Church of England in Suffolk, said: "The police are investigating and it is therefore inappropriate for the Church to make any comment at this stage. "We areare official Grizzlies jersey working closely with the parishes of Haverhill and Withersfield to support them at this time. "I can confirm that Mr Finn has been suspended by the Church of England in Suffolk, pending the outcome ofof cheap china Grizzlies jerseys free shipping the police investigation." Last month the Church of England confirmed Canon Finn and The Venerable Dr David Jenkins, Archdeacon of Sudbury, had discussed financial issues involving the Church. It said the discussions centred on the payment of part of the fees that should have been passed to the diocese for services taken, including weddings and funerals. At the time Mr Howard said Canon Finn was on extended leave, some of which had already been pre arranged. He added: "The diocese is arranging for the church to be cared for by other local clergy while Ian is away and the Rev. Cheryl Collins is to act asas new Grizzlies jerseys rural dean with immediate effect." A spokesman for the church wardens at St Mary the Virgin, Haverhill, said: "Ian is currently on leave. Church life is continuing and we will be supported by other local clergy who will take benefice services, minister to the needs of our congregation and ensure the smooth running of our church during his absence." Canon Finn was installed as an Honorary Canon of St Edmundsbury Cathedral In November 2011. The father of three is involved with schools in Haverhill and is a member of two local school governing bodies. He was also St Edmundsbury Borough mayor's chaplain from 2012 13.


Iterative market research can provide the foundation for a brand's ability to stay ahead of the next trend and seamlessly weave itself into the cultural tapestry. Consumers demand agile and dynamic responses from brands, and hitting the correct timbre with your message is imperative to gain maximum virility. Quickly fielding an urgent business question or finding a new way of phrasing a benefit can mean the difference between hitting that timbre or falling flat.
In reality, endless hoops make getting that research out the door time consuming and exhausting which often means too few insights, too late. Today's fast moving environment and impermanent trends will not wait for a wet signature or a tangle of email approvals. Outlook inboxes just aren't designed for approval management and version control – no matter how organized your folder system is. What's more, emails are tricky to track, trickier to file, and even trickier to track down and produce in the event of an audit.
How then do researchers overcome these pitfalls and execute iterative and efficient learning plans? Some of Market Logic's pharma clients have implemented a research management tool that includes a transparent, well documented approval system that mirrors existing research processes, cutting time to approval by as much as 88%.
Approval cycle time reduced by weeks. Client teams no longer spend time digging through emails and chasing approvers who are on vacation. Instead, they apply a standardized global approach to research approvals.
Researchers are enabled to think more about what questions should be asked on a questionnaire rather than who is the final signature on a contract – ensuring they get the best research results.
Approval headaches are prevented by standardizing processes and making approval progress transparent. All the information about the status of a study is available with the click of a mouse.
The key is to not just think about an approval processes but the research processes overall – harmonizing and standardizing how all your processes fit together is where the measurable difference begins to take shape. When you tackle supplier selection and supplier roster management, study document approvals, cross-functional alignments, key insights capturing, and a maintenance of a final report repository with one system, the efficiency you gain is phenomenal.

E! announces new reality show about Los Angeles gay club The Abbey
A new gay reality series is coming to US cable network, E! The new show will centre on Los Angeles' most famous gay bar, The Abbey, and will premiere in May of this year. Viewers of What Happens At The Abbey will get to see what goes on behind the scenes at the legendary club, and will be given an in-depth look into the lives of the hot guys who work behind the bar every night. From the looks of the first glimpse of the show, there's going to be lots of drama, stripping off and general naughtiness. Club owner Dave Cooley told E! the the show does a great job of capturing the "complicated nature" of relationships in 2017. "Every night at The Abbey is a different adventure. There are people visiting a gay bar for the first time, celebrities cutting loose, the staff hustling to fulfill their Hollywood dream, and all kinds of people looking for love, whether, gay, straight, lesbian or still figuring it out. "There is something at The Abbey for everyone," he added. Wondering where you recognise one of the guys from? He's called Billy Reilich and you might know him better as The Ellen Show's hot resident gardener.

This review is a collection of views and advice on composing research questions from problem statements. It mostly reads as a list of tips and suggestions.
Questions should in some way. . .
Step 1. Draft a research question/hypothesis.
Example: What effects did 9/11/01 have on the future plans of students who were high school seniors at the time of the terrorist attacks?
Example (measurable) Questions: Did seniors consider enlisting in the military as a result of the attacks?, Did seniors consider colleges closer to home as a result?
Step 2. Draft a purpose statement.
Example: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the 9/11/01 tragedy on the future plans of high school seniors.
Step 3. Revise and rewrite the research question/hypothesis.
Example: What is the association between 9/11/01 and future plans of high school seniors?
Step 4. Revise and rewrite the research question/hypothesis.
Example: Purpose Statement (Declarative): The purpose of this study is to explore the association between 9/11/01 and future plans of high school seniors.
Note: Both are neutral; they do not presume an association, either negative or positive.
Notice that the above research question suggested an association or a relationship. When composing your own, it is helpful to determine which variables you would like to understand, and then word your question in such a way as to suggest how you will test your question. This is called operationalizing, referring to the actions, processes, or operations used to measure or identify variables.
Finally, you will want to be specific about whom you are studying. Using my example above, "students" is not specific, so I might revise to public high school seniors in the Midwest.
You can expand your question by introducing additional variables or characteristics. We call these connecting, mediating, or moderating variables.
Example: What is the relationship between 9/11/01 and enlisting in the military?
Example: How many high school seniors enlisted in the military prior to 2002 graduation?
1. When a relationship is expected among a certain type of subject, reference the population.
Example: Among young children, there is a positive relationship between level of psychomotor coordination and degree of self-esteem.
2. Make RQs and Hs as specific and succinct as possible.
OK: Administrators who provide wellness programs for their employees project positive effectiveness.
Better: Administrators who provide wellness programs for their employees receive higher employee ratings on selected leadership qualities than administrators who do not provide wellness programs.
3. Avoid words or terms that do not add to the meaning of RQs and Hs.
Rather than: Among elementary school teachers, those who are teaching in year-round schools will report having higher morale than those who are teaching in elementary schools that follow a more traditional school-year schedule.
Try: Among elementary school teachers, those who teach in year-round schools have higher morale than those who teach on a traditional schedule.
4. Stick to what will be studied, not implications or your value judgments.
Rather than: Religion is good for society.
Try: Regular attendance at religious services is inversely associated with cheating behavior while taking classroom tests.
5. Name the variables in the order in which they occur or will be measured.
Example. There is a positive relationship between College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test scores and first-semester grades earned in college.
6. Avoid the words significant or significance.
8. Avoid using two different terms to refer to the same variable.

It's Elul- Smile!
The Sinking Feeling…
"Elul is so hard," was the way one yeshiva bochur framed it.
Wherever you are and whoever you are, the transition from the bein hazemanim of Chodesh Av to the intensity of Elul is often difficult not only for bnei yeshiva, whose schedules revolve around yeshiva, but for others as well. Like it or not, with the onset of Elul, the beginning of the school year and the fast approaching days of Selichos, many are filled with a sense of dread.
No, it is not the eimas hadin, the fear of the impending judgment, per se (which would be a good thing), but primarily feelings of uncomfortableness.
Several years ago, I was in a shul on Rosh Chodesh Elul. After davening, the shofar was blown and, for the first time that year, the tefillah of L'Dovid Hashem Ori was said. One of the more bold members of the shul said something that made a deep impression on me. He remarked, "I wish I could blink and it would be all over already!"
In essence, he was saying that not only does he not have the mental energy or desire to engage in the avodah of teshuvah, tefillah and tzedakah associated with Elul and the Yomim Noraim, but even the yemei hasimcha of Sukkos and Simchas Torah are too much for him. He simply longed for his normal routine.
Perhaps most don't feel as radically as that person, but from my unscientific surveys of numerous Yidden, many, in a candid moment, will admit that they have a sinking feeling when contemplating the upcoming avodah of Selichos, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Yes, it is painful to say, but there is no point in lying to ourselves. There is also no point in placing blame for why so many ehrliche Yidden seem detached from Hashem or why they have such a negative association with what Chazal call the yemei harachamim veharatzon, days that should fill us with great anticipation.
The question, however, is how we can change focus to have the right attitude towards this opportune time of the year in a way that will allow us to maximize it in our avodas Hashem.
The Elul of Old
Firstly, so many of us are accustomed to hearing from our rabbeim about the eimas hadin, fear of the impending judgment, felt by the great baalei mussar. We heard how the famed talmid of Rav Yisroel Salanter, Rav Itzele Peterberger, ran to the aron kodesh during Birkas Hachodesh of Chodesh Elul and, with tears streaming from his eyes, exclaimed, "Ribbono Shel Olam, we hereby accept upon ourselves Your heilige Chodesh Elul!"
The stories about the baalei mussar are wonderful and important, but we realize that many of us have little connection to them. Yes, we are reminded that in pre-war Europe, especially pre-World War I, even the baalei battim would curb their schedule and run to the bais medrash. In Kelm, the word Elul was enough to make an unruly child act his best.
For us, those stories are nice, but we don't feel anything like that. We hear things like "even the fish shudder during Elul," and, at best, it makes us feel wistful and inferior, wondering why our hearts don't feel anything other than hunger, because it is almost time for supper…
The Disadvantage of Not Being Enclosed in the Shtetel
The truth is that there is nothing wrong with you or me. We no longer live in the shtetel, which was permeated with yiras Shomayim. In a shmuess during the yemei haselichos, Rav Avrohom Pam touched on this point. He contrasted the feelings of Elul that he remembered as a young child growing up in small shtetel in Lita with today's lack of feelings of hisorerus. He explained that it is so much more difficult in our days to feel the atmosphere of Elul, because the second one leaves the walls of a yeshiva or shul, he immediately enters the cauldron that is the street, where everything is regular. People are engaging in business and recreation. We have no external reminders that this time of year is different. Thus, the only thing to do is work on ourselves internally.
The problem is that we beat ourselves up for not feeling Elul, for not feeling the eimas hadin, for feeling apprehensive about the need to buckle down.
Why can't we just be elevated enough to want Elul, anticipating and seeing it for what it is – a most wonderful opportunity?
Imagine Learning a Blatt Gemara When I Could Have Seen Constantinople
Perhaps the approach of pure fear of din worked in generations gone by, when the streets were different and when people's emunah was more tangible. Today, however, a slight change may be warranted.
Let me put forth two possible approaches. The first is to focus more on opportunity, not obligation. Many of us feel so down at this time of the year that we wish it would just end, because we feel obligated to be scared or at least to behave, but at the same time, we don't feel like behaving. The reason for this is because we are looking at it through the wrong lens.
The following story illustrates this point: Rav Zelig Shtitsburg was a Chassidishe Yid who grew up in the great Jewish centers of pre-war Poland. After the war, he somehow obtained a coveted certificate to enter British Mandatory Eretz Yisroel together with a group of friends, who, with all the hardships they had endured during the war, formed a chevrah to learn and serve Hashem together.
On the boat ride from Europe to Eretz Yisroel, the boat made a one-day stop in Constantinople prior to commencing the final leg of the journey across the Mediterranean Sea. Reb Zelig's friends decided to leave the boat for a short tour of Constantinople, one of the most beautiful cosmopolitan cities of that time.
Reb Zelig chose not to go. His well-meaning friends tried to convince him, urging him, "Come Zelig'el, this is a one-time opportunity. We are only in Constantinople for one day and we will probably never return to this city. When will you ever have the opportunity to see the beauty of Constantinople again?"
Reb Zelig responded with a powerful, unexpected reply. He said, "When will I ever again have the opportunity to learn a few blatt Gemara when I could have been seeing beautiful Constantinople?"
By declining to join his friends, Reb Zelig did not view himself as deprived. He did not feel that although he very much wanted to see the beauty of the city, his conscience would not permit him. That was not Reb Zelig. His outlook was that this was a windfall. It was a fantastic opportunity. After all, when would he again be afforded the chance to forego touring a city as special as Constantinople in order to learn a blatt Gemara? When would he again be able to show Hashem how dear His Torah is and thus become closer to Hashem?
Undoubtedly, the great simcha and spiritual satisfaction derived from that blatt Gemara made the fleeting pleasure of seeing Constantinople pale. When his friends returned from their tour, Reb Zelig was the happiest of all, because he had viewed this as a rare opportunity. He had just gained something priceless – a blatt Gemara learned under adversity.
The Opportunity of Elul
Elul and the Yomim Noraim, followed by Sukkos, Hoshanah Rabbah, Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah are also opportunities, fantastic chances that can fill everybody with intense simcha. We are being offered the opportunity to become closer to Hashem. The roshei teivos of Elul are "Ani leDodi veDodi li – I am to my Beloved and my Beloved is to me." It is a time when we desire to improve our conduct to reciprocate Hashem's love for us, not only out of a sense of dread or fear, but for its unbelievable opportunity. The only fear that should occupy our hearts is the fear of missing the opportunity.
When a person has an opportunity to make a massive business deal that will put him on easy street for years, he approaches that deal with tremendous anticipation. Yes, it may mean getting up early for a few weeks to prepare and have all of the facts and figures lined up, but the potential dividends that he will reap are so real and so tangible that he undertakes the extra work with anticipation and joy, not a feeling of "Oy, what a drag. I have to wake up early to prepare for this dumb business deal that might net me a hundred million dollars…"
When Motzoei Yom Kippur arrives, we should not breathe a sigh of relief that it is over. Rather, our hearts should be full of joy. Joy for the opportunity that Hashem has given us to be cleansed and purified from our aveiros. Joy for the opportunities for spiritual growth He has bestowed upon us.
A Change of Attitude
It is all about one's attitude and how one views these days.
The second, related approach is one that I recently heard from Rav Simcha Bunim Cohen, rov of Khal Ateres Yeshaya in Lakewood. We always look at these days as a time when we have to behave, days when we have to chap arein and ask Hashem to bless us with a good year. We beg Hashem for a good year in ruchniyus. We beg Hashem for a good year in gashmiyus. That is wonderful. There is nothing wrong with that. That is part of tefillah.
Before focusing on what we still need, however, perhaps our tefillos would have so much meaning if we stopped momentarily to contemplate what Hashem has given us this past year. All of the good in our lives, all of the brocha that we had this past year, were gifts from Hashem. Let us think about the Birchos Hashachar that we say every morning. We have eyes that see and clothes to wear. Every morning, Hashem gives us renewed strength. When we ask Hashem for things with the knowledge that He has already been so good to us and given us so much, our tefillos take on a totally different meaning.
Overflowing with Thanks
Let us imagine that one of our children was swimming in a lake or ocean, and a current came and began to pull the child away. All efforts to fight were to no avail. His head was bobbing up and down under the water and the end seemed inevitable. Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, a trained lifeguard appeared, grabbed the child, and brought him to safety. Imagine our gratitude to that person. We would be overflowing with such an overwhelming feeling of thanks that we would look for ways to show the lifeguard how thankful we are. When we would bring him a present, we wouldn't do so with a sour face, as if to say, "He saved my child's life, so I guess I have no choice but to give him something." On the contrary, we would wrap that gift with unparalleled love. We would go to his house with such simcha, such hoda'ah, such overflowing hakoras hatov, because we understand that he was the shliach to save our child's life.
Our approach to these holy days should be the same. Not with a sour face, as if to say, "Oy, I am stuck. I have to pay Him back," but with such simcha, such recognition of the chesed that He has done for us in the past and continues to do.
With this attitude, we can enter Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur full thanks, our hearts bursting with love for the Life Guard who continues to save us, help us, and give us so much.
Engaging in the avodah of Elul is not so much an obligation, of feeling that we have no choice, that we are believing Jews who are obligated to run the gauntlet of Selichos, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Rather, our feeling should be one of opportunity. What an opportunity we have to chap arein, to show Hashem how overwhelmed with gratitude we are for the past and how much we love Him.
When we think of our avodah in those terms, we will run to Rosh Hashanah with anticipation and with the emotional feelings of love and thanks of a parent bringing a cellophane-wrapped gift to the lifeguard who saved their child's life.
So, my dear friends, Elul is here, the Yomim Noraim are coming. Smile!

We all need to hire contractors from time to time, but how do you know who to hire? Robin K. Olson, a senior research analyst for the International Risk Management Institute offered these 10 tips in an article published in 2013.
Be wary of contractors who solicit business door-to-door or via cold calls. In addition, avoid contractors who quote you a price that will automatically go up the next day or week if you don't accept it immediately.
Obtain recommendations from friends, family members and neighbors about experienced and reputable contractors who have performed excellent work for them.
Ask for a written estimate from the contractor that includes any oral agreements the contractor makes during this process. The estimate should contain a line-by-line breakdown of costs, including materials and labor. In addition, ask if there is a charge for an estimate. If there is, avoid dealing with this contractor.
Verify that the contractor is licensed, bonded and properly insured. Ask for certificates of insurance for workers' compensation and general liability policies.
Contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see if complaints have been filed against the contractor. This can be performed via the BBB's website at www.bbb.org.
Avoid dealing with a contractor who asks you to pay for the entire job before the work begins. The standard practice is to pay 33 percent of the job upfront.
Get a copy of the proposed contract. Ideally, it should include a hold-harmless clause in your favor, particularly for major work such as when heavy equipment will be used in constructing a swimming pool. A hold-harmless clause specifies that the contractor will indemnify you with respect to your liability to members of the public who are injured or whose property is damaged during the course of the contractor's operations. The contract also should explicitly specify the work to be performed; the start and end dates; payment agreements and warranty information.
Ask a knowledgeable friend, relative or attorney to review the home-repair contract before you sign.

U.S. Auto Sales Forecast Is Cut For 2022: Bad News For Bargain Hunters
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimhenry/2 ... a201852c78
Forecasters lowered their expectations for 2022 U.S. auto sales yet again, in a Cox Automotive webinar, to just 13.7 million new cars and trucks, down about 9% vs. 15 million in 2021, and down almost 20% vs. 17.1 million, in pre-COVID 2019.
The ongoing computer chip shortage and other supply-chain problems, which often have the COVID-19 pandemic as a root cause, get much of the blame, along with disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine, and higher interest rates.
The upshot for consumers is that new-vehicle prices are expected to remain at or near record highs. That's the opposite of what usually happens when auto sales fall. What usually happens is that automakers and dealers raise incentives to stimulate demand, to sell off a backlog of inventory. . . .
It was the third time this year Atlanta-based Cox Automotive cut its U.S. new-vehicle sales forecast.
Cox Automotive's initial U.S. new-vehicle sales forecast for 2022 was 16 million, up about 7% vs. 15 million in 2021. The year 2022 got off to a good start, but the chip shortage and other supply problems that cut into auto production began to cut seriously into sales in May 2022, Chesbrough said. . . .
Earlier this year, the Cox Automotive forecast shrank to 15.3 million, then 14.4 million, to today's 13.7 million, the company said. Greater likelihood of a U.S. recession is a contributing factor to the latest reduction in the sales forecast.
"With the economic outlook worsening quickly over recent months," Chesbrough said, "it now seems likely that much of the pent-up demand from limited supply is quickly disappearing."

Why you should—and shouldn't—buy an electric car
February 21, 2018 by Ethan Baron, The Mercury News
California was on track to meet Gov. Jerry Brown's initial goal for putting 1.5 million environmentally friendly vehicles on the road by 2025, a new report says, but then Brown upped the target.
Today, the official state goal stands at 5 million "zero-emission" vehicles by 2030, and though Brown has laid out funding mechanisms that would put $2.5 billion toward promoting the spread of electric, hybrid and hydrogen vehicles through consumer rebates and development of charging stations and other infrastructure, significant hurdles remain.
The funding will depend on state budgets crafted after Brown leaves office in January 2019, on the economy remaining healthy enough to sustain the green-vehicle spending, and on the price and availability of cobalt and lithium for car batteries.
Other challenges confront the push for electric cars and other Earth-friendly vehicles, but a new report from San Francisco non-profit Next 10 and research firm Beacon Economics reveals significant increases in the use of so-called zero-emission vehicles (hybrids use electricity and petroleum fuels). As of October, more than 335,000 of the vehicles had been sold in California, and sales leaped 29 percent from 2016 to 2017, the report said.
This news organization spoke with F. Noel Perry, founder of Next 10, about the future of green transportation in California. His comments have been edited for length and clarity. And yes, for the record, Perry drives an electric car.
Q: Why are electric vehicles a focus for Next 10?
A: Transportation emissions in California for the last year that we have statistics for, which is 2015, actually went up by 2.7 percent and within that sector the car emissions went up by 3.1 percent. As a state, we need to get those numbers going in the opposite direction.
Q: Why should someone should go out and buy an electric car right now?
A: They can make a huge contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions—that's the most important reason. There are advantages in terms of going into the carpool lane. Electric vehicles are becoming (price) competitive with internal combustion engines. In our report we looked at the life-cycle cost of ... electric cars, hybrid electric cars, gas-powered cars and we found that, for example, the Nissan Leaf and the Smart car are competitive right now even without (government) incentives. What's driving down the cost of EVs is the reduction in the cost of the battery. Another important point is that the maintenance is minimal.
Q: And why shouldn't someone go out and buy an electric vehicle now?
A: It really needs to suit their driving habits. The range that the car can go should fit with what they're doing. For those that want to wait, the cost is going to be coming down. The range of the cars is increasing. Over time, the advantages of having an electric car are going to continue to increase.
Q: What are the obstacles to widespread adoption of electric vehicles in California?
A: The cost. That's coming down. The range of the vehicles. There are more and more charging stations being created around California but in terms of a consumer deciding to buy an electric vehicle, they have to make sure that they're going to be able to charge it when they need to.
Q: What changes need to be made by consumers, government and the private sector if electric vehicles are going to become an affordable and practical choice for the masses?
A: In terms of the private sector, we're seeing some major investments in electric vehicles. Tesla is the best known. You have Chevrolet with their Volt and their Bolt. You also have BMW. There have to be more selection opportunities in dealerships and I think that's coming. Policy is important in terms of helping to incentivize charging stations. On the consumer side, I think as the price continues to go down, as the range continues to get longer and longer for different vehicles, I think that will certainly help drive demand.
Q: Are government subsidies on electric cars necessary for widespread adoption?
A: Over time they are not going to be necessary. They'll be cost-competitive enough so that a consumer won't need that incentive.
Q: How important is Tesla's role in the electric vehicle market?
A: Tesla was absolutely the leader in terms of the success that it achieved with coming out with an all-electric vehicle. They continue to play an important role as they bring out new models. In terms of the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions because someone's buying a Tesla and driving a Tesla, I think that's absolutely good for our state and good for the world that someone's driving an electric vehicle.

Revocation - Deathless - (9/10)
A Debt Owed to the Grave
Labyrinth of Eyes
Madness Opus
Scorched Earth Policy
The Blackest Reaches
United Helotry
Witch Trials
Technical Death / Thrash
Playing Time:
Thrashing tech-death immortalized.
Revocation has been on a blistering path for the last…well, their entire career. Just one year ago, they topped my list for best album of the year with the self titled Revocation and despite the quick turn around, have pummeled out another instant classic with the album Deathless. Although this album didn't instantly hook me like the last one did, Deathless is another dense and layered slab of thrashy tech death perfect for the musician's critic and the mosher in every metalhead. It's catchy, vicious, and undeniably well written throughout.
Perhaps the best part about any Revocation album, including Deathless, is just how well the band blends progressive structures, technical performances, and overall catchy song writing. While the band occasionally toys with some new elements from record to record, in particular moving away from the pure tech death aspects of their earlier material into a diversified experience on the last few, they retain that ability to write instantly memorable tracks without sacrificing the impressive standards of their musical prowess or occasional progressive tendencies. For the most part this album follows a very similar style of super thrashy tech death like Revocation did, although the band pulls towards a bit more progressive structuring more often and goes for an even denser impact. Not that the band is afraid to even toss in some melodic choruses on the title track or on "Labyrinth of Eyes," but the latter half of the record plays out more like their early material at times.
Just being more of the same certainly doesn't stop the band from igniting some seriously impressive music again. "Madness Opus" has a massively melodic interlude of intertwining guitar solos, a borderline deathcore riff and drum piece that underlies the guttural bark of the chorus, and a winding song structure that never really allows the listener to predict what direction they are going to leap off towards. This is a style that all Revocation fans have heard previous, but the band continues to excel at and Deathless is just another record that utilizes it to some ridiculously high standards. Whether it's the obvious single in "Deathless" or the melodic death metal-tinged "Witch Trials" this is Revocation continuing to deliver…song after song after song after song.
The jist of Deathless remains this: it's simply a continuation of the sound that they have established since the beginning and it continues to convey the same high quality product that we've heard time and time again. Sure there might be some melodic choruses here and there, but at its core it's the same. It's not jumping styles. It's not experimentation. It's pure Revocation in all of their glory. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Caley, F.R.S., F.S.A. transcribed this 'curious record' found in the Chapter House, Westminster, 'a list of the freemen of the various companies resident in London and Westminster; from Thomas Lewyn being mentioned as sheriff, it appears it was made in the year 1537.' Thirty-seven companies are listed, comprising 2400 individuals: Armourers, Bakers, Barber Surgeons, Blacksmiths, Brewers, Broiderers, Clothworkers, Coopers, Cordwainers, Curriers, Cutlers, Drapers, Fishmongers, Fletchers, Founders, Freemasons, Fruiterers, Goldsmiths, Grocers, Haberdashers, Innholders, Ironmongers, Joiners, Leather Sellers, Merchant Taylors, Painter Stainers, Plasterers, Plumbers, Saddlers, Salters, Skinners, Spurriers, Tallow Chandlers, Tilers, Vintners, Wax Chandlers and Weavers.
London Marriage Allegations (1521-1610)
London, Essex and part of Hertfordshire lay within the diocese of London. In the later 17th century the individual archdeaconry courts issued marriage licences, but for this period the only surviving material is from the overarching London Consistory court. The main series of marriage allegations from the consistory court starts 7 December 1597, and these were extracted by Colonel Joseph Lemuel Chester; Colonel Chester then discovered earlier material, back to 5 January 1521, in Vicar-General's Books of the Principal Probate Registry. The notices in these books were much briefer, but as well as extending back so much earlier, they included additional material for 1597 onwards. All this he collated with the consistory court extracts, and the text was edited by George J. Armytage and published by the Harleian Society in 1887. A typical later entry will give date; name, address and occupation of groom; name, address and condition of his intended bride, and/or, where she is a spinster, her father's name, address and occupation. Lastly we have the name of the church where the wedding was going to take place; or the words Gen. Lic. signifying a general or open licence.
Royalist delinquents in county Durham and Northumberland, their successors, tenants, debtors and creditors (1648-1660)
King Charles I was executed 30 January 1649, the kingship was abolished and government by a Council of State was established 14 February 1649. Oliver Cromwell became Lord Protector 16 December 1653; died 3 September 1658; and was succeeded by his son Richard, who abdicated 24 May 1659. Charles II was established on the throne 29 May 1660. From 1648 to 1660 parliament sequestrated royalists' estates, restoring many by a process of heavy fines called compounding; this was administered by the Committee for Compounding, working through county committees. These raised considerable amounts of money, money which was vitally necessary for maintaining the parliamentary army's campaigns to subdue opposition in the three kingdoms - England, Scotland and Ireland. The raising and delivery of these monies was the responsibility of the Committee for Advance of Money (C. A. M.). The records of these committees were detailed and extensive, amounting to about 300 volumes, and were calendared for the Public Record Office by Mary Anne Everett Green. Abstracts of the county Durham and Northumberland entries were collated by Richard Welford with a manuscript transcript of the proceedings of the parliamentary commissioners in county Durham surviving in Durham cathedral library, and published by the Surtees Society in 1905. The persons named in these abstracts are not only the delinquents themselves, and those who succeeded them in their estates, but tenants, debtors and creditors, and local constables and officials of the committees.
English administration of Ireland (1660-1662)
The State Papers relating to Ireland (preserved in the Public Record Office in England) from the restoration of the monarchy in June 1660 to December 1662 were calendared by R. P. Mahaffy and published in 1905. Most of the volume contains abstracts of correspondence with the Lord Lieutenant and other officials: but the first 150 pages consists of petitions made, upon the restoration, for lands, offices, &c. that had been lost during the Commonwealth period. There is also an abstract of the contents (pages 648 to 660) of a thin manuscript book among the papers, containing petitions and papers relating to the estate of the Marquis of Antrim, which had been divided up among English and Irish Protestant soldiers and 'adventurers' and was now again in contention.
Suffolk householders (1674)
Hearth tax was raised by assessing each householder on the number of chimneys to the dwelling. This provided a simple way to make a rough judgment as to the value of the dwelling: paupers were issued exemption certificates, but they too were listed at the end of each return. The returns were made by township, grouped by hundred. A complete copy of the hearth tax return for each shire was sent to the Exchequer: this is the return for Suffolk for Lady Day (25 March) 1674 (E 179/257/14) as printed in 1905 as Suffolk Green Book no xi, vol. 13. The numbers given are the numbers of hearths: where two or more people are grouped together with one number, it may be assumed that they were heads of separate households sharing a single building with that number of chimneys.
Masters of Apprentices registered in Suffolk (1717-1719)
Apprenticeship indentures and clerks' articles were subject to a 6d or 12d per pound stamp duty: the registers of the payments usually give the master's trade, address, and occupation, and the apprentice's father's name and address, as well as details of the date and length of the apprenticeship. There are central registers for collections of the stamp duty in London, as well as returns from collectors in the provinces. These collectors generally received duty just from their own county, but sometimes from further afield. Because of the delay before some collectors made their returns, this register includes indentures and articles from as early as 1716.

Masters and Apprentices (1721)
Apprenticeship indentures and clerks' articles were subject to a 6d or 12d per pound stamp duty: the registers of the payments usually give the master's trade, address, and occupation, and the apprentice's father's name and address, as well as details of the date and length of the apprenticeship. 2 January to 26 August 1721.

Apprentices registered at King's Lynn in Norfolk (1750-1754)
Apprenticeship indentures and clerks' articles were subject to a 6d or 12d per pound stamp duty: the registers of the payments usually give the master's trade, address, and occupation, and the apprentice's father's name and address, as well as details of the date and length of the apprenticeship.

CHICAGO (Reuters) – United Airlines expects Boeing Co's grounded 737 MAX jets to return to service this summer, with deliveries resuming before the end of the year, an executive said on Wednesday, reassuring investors concerned about a prolonged suspension. The 737 MAX was grounded worldwide in March following two fatal crashes, forcing Boeing to freeze deliveries. Boeing is under pressure to upgrade the software and convince global regulators that the plane is safe to fly again, a process expected to take at least 90 days. Chicago-based United, which is part of United Continental Holdings Inc, removed its 14 MAX aircraft from its flying schedule through early July, while U.S. competitors that own the MAX have planned their flying schedules without the aircraft into August. United was due to take delivery of another 14 of the jets this year. "The aircraft scheduled for delivery this year, we would expect to take this year," Chief Financial Officer Gerald Laderman said on a conference call. United's 2019 MAX orders were scheduled for delivery by the end of the third quarter, though Laderman said he could see some of those deliveries slipping into the fourth. United posted a better-than-expected jump in first-quarter profit late on Tuesday after selling more tickets and cutting costs, and stood by its 2019 profit target despite the 737 MAX grounding. Its shares were up 4.5 percent at $88.97 on Wednesday afternoon. Unlike other U.S. airlines that own the MAX, No. 3 United has largely avoided flight cancellations after the grounding deferring nonessential maintenance on larger aircraft to put them on MAX routes. But executives said on Wednesday that the strategy, manageable for a month or two, gets tougher as time goes on. United has been expanding its available seat capacity at a faster pace than rivals but said on Tuesday it was trimming that 2019 target to reflect the grounded MAX as well as suspended flights to Delhi due to closed air space over Pakistan. Laderman said the carrier's costs per seat mile could grow this year if the MAX aircraft remain out of service or flights to Delhi remain suspended longer than its current assumption. Of the U.S. MAX owners, United was the first to report first-quarter results. Southwest Airlines Co , the largest global operator of the MAX with 34 jets, reports on April 25, while American Airlines Group Inc with 24 MAX aircraft, reports on April 26.

Watch AC/DC Rig Rundown
In a new Rig Rundown, Premier Guitar's Chris Kies caught up with AC/DC techs Trace Foster and Greg Howard for a close look at the gear that is driving their massive show.
After taking an in-depth look at Angus Young's rig with Foster to start the clip, Howard shares some fascinating insight into the gear of Stevie Young, who joined the band after Malcolm retired in 2014 due to illness.
To keep the sound consistent, Stevie borrowed his uncle's 1963 Gretsch G6131 Jet Firebird. Malcolm's No. 2 has become Stevie's go-to axe for the Rock or Bust tour. His backup Jet Firebird is another gift from his uncle, a model that was originally left-handed.

It's almost an oxymoron to say healthy chips, but wait until you see what these chips are made from and how they are cooked. Appropriate for SCD/GAPS, Paleo,/Primal, we don't use potatoes which are a nightshade vegetable and dangerous for people sensitive to solanine. Oh no. We don't use corn meal which is genetically modified unless it is organic. Oh no. Can you guess what we used for these gorgeous chips?
There are plenty of root vegetables that are acceptable for SCD, GAPS, Paleo and Primal diets. For these incredible chips we used golden beets, daikon radish and celeriac. I bet you couldn't guess!
Traditionally chips were deep fried in tallow or lard. Due to conventional misinformation about saturated fats, commercial chips are loaded with toxic additives. I fried these chips in tallow, which is a stable saturated fat that can handle high heat cooking. Tallow is actually very healthy in spite of what you have been told by health officials. I get my tallow from grassfed animals and it if full of beneficial CLA. This fat supports the heart and brain.
Conventional chips are fried in highly processed, chemical laden, rancid and deodorized vegetable oils like corn, soy, cottonseed or canola. Ninety percent of the corn, soy, cottonseed and canola crops are genetically modified in this country so it is practically impossible to get a commercial chip that is not GM (even though it is not labeled as such). In addition, in many of the flavored varieties that you can get these days, there are additives such as MSG, refined salt and other chemical flavors.
Some of the health food store versions may appear better, but using sunflower or safflower oil is still not good because these oils are not made for high heating and will get rancid.
These vege chips are labor intensive — but a labor of love for someone who has not had chips due to dietary restrictions. The idea for these chips came from the wonderful parents of a little patient of mine who is doing very well on the GAPS diet. They didn't want him to feel deprived when others were eating chips.
This is an advanced food and may be offered when someone is ready and can tolerate it well. Of course, they are a special treat and should be made only on special occasions.
Set the mandolin at the thinnest — 1/16 inch. If you do not have a mandolin you can use a sharp knife. Just be sure to cut them evenly — they can be thicker.

Greed in the Sun () is a 1964 French-Italian adventure film directed by Henri Verneuil. The film was entered into the 1964 Cannes Film Festival.

Plot
The forwarder Castigliano instructs Steiner to drive a new truck with a payload through the Sahara Desert. Steiner is new to the operation and is viewed with suspicion by the other employees. In the evening Steiner goes out with Rocco, Marec and some colleagues. The next morning the truck is gone. Castigliano is furious and orders Marec to retrieve the truck which was stolen by Rocco. Rocco with his girlfriend Pepa head towards the border. A wild chase begins through the deserts and impassable areas.

Marec travels with Steiner. When crossing a state it turns out that Steiner is actually called Frocht; he was the leader of a band of mercenaries in a coup d'état. Rocco succeeds in shaking off Marec several times. Mitch has to repeatedly come to the aide of Marec. After Rocco's truck breaks down, he sets a trap for Marec and Steiner. Rocco forces Marec at gunpoint to exchange his roadworthy truck with the defective truck. Steiner tries to fight back and receives a gunshot through his leg. Rocco leaves Marec and Steiner stranded in the desert. Rocco tries to sell the cargo for $100,000 to a fence.

Marec and Steiner finally make it to the next town, where Marec abandons Steiner after expressing his disgust for the man and happens across Rocco in a brothel. A wild brawl erupts between the two, and when they are both too weak to beat each other up further, Rocco admits that he showed up to the rendezvous with the fence but the fence was not there. When he came back to the hotel, he discovered that Pepa had made off with the truck and the payload.

Production
Director Henry Verneuil said the film was "a Western, but since in France we don't have horses, I use trucks. I give Jean Paul the hat, blue jeans, boots of a cowboy. He's one of the few young actors in France who is young and manly."

Reception

Box office
The film was a box office hit in France. It was the seventh most popular film of the year at the French box office.

Critical
New York Times film critic Howard Thompson gave mixed review of the film, stating that "Some interesting ingredients hover in mid-air throughout this overlong film, which lacks real cohesion or impact".

Awards
The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival.

Close-knit Crocs spurred on by fans
IN-FORM Townsville point guard Steve Markovic is confident his club's strong team spirit will help the Crocs bounce back into the winners' list when the NBL resumes this weekend.
The north Queensland outfit dropped to fifth after losses to Cairns (87-74) and the Melbourne Tigers (76-71) before the Christmas break.
But Markovic (pictured), back in Australia after playing nine seasons in Europe, said the way the community had rallied to keep the financially-stricken club afloat after last season was similar to the goodwill that existed within the playing group.
"In Europe a lot of players put themselves first and some can be quite selfish, so it took a little while for me to adjust," the 28-year-old said. "But we're such a tight-knit group - a lot of things we do together outside of training.
"And the fans have been fantastic - win, lose or draw, they're just happy they've still got a team to support."
Markovic, who had ankle surgery during the off-season, admitted the Christmas break had not come at an ideal time.
"We wanted to get back and play after two straight losses, but it's a long season so it will be good to have some time off," he said.
After scoring 31 points the previous weekend against the 36ers, Markovic admitted he failed to adjust to extra defensive attention from both Cairns and Melbourne.
"Cairns stopped me from getting the ball and running, and Melbourne always seemed to have two players on me," he said.
"So when that happens I just have to adapt, and try to get involved in different aspects of the game."
