New scheme to help spark solutions journalism around the world
LEDE Fellowship, launched by SJN, offers 15 grants of $2,500 in a bid to bring about new solutions-orientated publishers and broadcasters
Posted: 8 July 2019 By: Jacob Granger
The Solutions Journalism Network (SJN) has launched the LEDE Fellowship to foster entrepreneurship in solutions journalism.
There is $2,500 up for grabs for at least 15 international applicants and the money can be used in their own region on getting their project off the ground. This typically includes event space, web materials and production costs.
The organisation defines 'entrepreneurship' as, for example, a new solutions-orientated publication, podcast or broadcast, integrating solutions journalism into any level of journalism education, and creative ways of collaborating with other solutions journalism projects.
"Much attention has been given to what's wrong with journalism - audience mistrust, polarising narratives, failing revenue models, local news desserts... Less attention has been given to what's working," said Julia Hotz, community manager, SJN.
"We believe journalism practitioners near and far have been successfully experimenting with new models, and we hope the LEDE Fellowship helps accelerate such innovations by connecting these champions to learn from each other."
It is a solutions-minded approach to journalism itself. Financed by the SJN funders, the Lede Fellowship is part of SJN's long-term goal to introduce solutions journalism into every newsroom and expand their Solutions Story Tracker database of 6,500+ solutions stories.
This allows policymakers, educators, nonprofits, and news consumers to understand, at a glance or in-depth, the positive side to society's problems.
"In our five-plus years of existence, we've been awed by the entrepreneurs advancing solutions journalism in our network," said Hotz.
Philadelphia's award-winning collaborative on prisoner re-entry and the Richland Source's successful efforts to raise $70k in local support for solutions journalism, are two key examples of this, she added.
"Instead of having our idea of what success looks like in your community and prescribing it equally across cities, we have learned to rely on local actors, local expertise, and local entrepreneurship to achieve success."
Candidates have until 21 July 2019 to apply.

Q: GAE push queue tasks are getting blocked Got an issue with GAE push queue tasks running in Backends. Some of the tasks are running indefinitely and blocking other tasks from running.
Attaching Logs screenshot obtained after backend restarted - http://snag.gy/3xeyE.jpg
Push Queue task configuration is as follows
Max rate 5/s | Enforced rate 5/s | Bucket size 5.0 | Max Concurrent 10 | Retry limit 1
The task sends request to Backend servlet in which tasks are leased from other pull queue and executed until backend stops or pull queue lease returns empty in infinite loop.
We are careful that the infinite loop breaks if no tasks are leased. There are no logs given under these requests to know what these processes are running.
Few observations:
'cpu_ms' is 0 for most of these processes
No 'pending_ms' too for most of them
Other tasks in the queue are blocked until these tasks complete.
This is very serious issue for us.
Please help me.

A: I suggest you to try the following:

*

*Unpause the queue which has tasks stuck inside;

*Delete all the tasks within the Queue associated with the specific jobs which is stuck;

*Delete all the kinds associated with the specific jobs or tasks in the Datastore;

*Re-start the specific tasks in the queue.

Bacterial Flagellum Visualized
Tom Magnuson at Access Research Network found this link that came out last year but is too good to pass up: another visualization of the bacterial flagellum, the "poster child of the ID movement," by Japanese researchers on NanoNet, the Nanotechnology Researchers Network Center of Japan. The 02/05/2004 NanoNet Bulletin features the bacterial flagellum with still images from a stunning movie they made, A Rotary Nanomachine, downloadable from the site. The movie contains crisp animations of the flagellar motor at work and features amazing facts about how the propeller is assembled, molecule by molecule, at the growing tip. The film (34 minutes, 36mb) also tells the story of how challenging it was for the team to image the nanometer-scale parts of the system.
Another issue, 09/16/2004 NanoNet Bulletin tells how professor Masasuke Yoshido first visualized the rotation of another biomolecular rotary motor, ATP synthase. The entire website is concerned with nanotechnology, and many of the articles blur the distinction between biological and artificial machines.
This film makes a terrific follow-up to Unlocking the Mystery of Life for those interested in additional technical details of how the flagellum works. The animations are superb. Nobody would be able to look at this system and say it wasn't designed – it looks for all the world like finely-crafted machinery. The researchers are in awe of the precision of the parts and the efficiency of the motor. Is it any wonder that there is no mention of evolution? On the contrary, the word design is key: "Looking at the shape of the flagellar basal body," said Keiici Namba, the interviewee, "it is obviously designed to rotate."
Dr. Namba also said something that shows how biological design can stimulate a Darwin-free research program: "Looking at a picture of the flagellar motor on the wall every day," he said in Asianized English, "I feel up towards revealing the mystery by any means." How it works – and what we can learn from the design – those ideas borrow nothing from Darwinian theory, and sound remarkably similar to the motivations of Robert Boyle, James Joule and many other creation scientists throughout history. None of the People of Froth (the Anti-ID crowd) could claim that these Japanese researchers had a religious motivation for making this film or for doing their cutting-edge research. School boards can show this film as proof that design-based science is powerful and productive. The end of science? Bringing science to a halt? Taking us back to the Dark Ages? Bosh—this is the future of active, fruitful, motivating research that will inspire young scientists and bring the best technology to bear on understanding biological realities (see 10/29/2005 story).
Intelligent design is not so much about making additions to science, but rather some blessed subtractions: removing the useless fluff of Darwinian speculation and storytelling (12/22/2003) that produces nothing but vaporware on back order. Throughout history (see online book), the design perspective has mastered the machinery of science that produces the goods.

'Looking to future battles': Marines see Australia as power projection hub, ex-officer says – – DeathInTown
In this article, you will get all the information regarding 'Looking to future battles': Marines see Australia as power projection hub, ex-officer says –
Members of Marine Corps Rotation Force Darwin prepare to board a KC-130J Super Hercules at Royal Australian Air Force Base, Amberley, Australia, 14 September 2022. (Cameron Hermanet/US Marine Corps)
The Marine Corps this week sees northern Australia, where 2,200 Marines completed a six-month training rotation, as a hub for making an impact in Southeast Asia, according to a former Marine officer.
On Monday, a rotating force led by the 5th Marine Regiment of the 1st Marine Division-Darwin completed its 11th rotation to the southern continent since 2012, Army spokesman Capt. Joseph DiPietro said Tuesday News. mentioned in the release.
Last month, two MV-22 Ospreys of the 268th Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron departed Australia and are based in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. His 6,100-mile island-hopping flight, supported by a KC-130J tanker plane, included stops in Fiji, American Samoa and the Republic of Kiribati.
Darwin is seen as more than just an Australian version of its training ground, the Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center in Twenty-Nine Palms, Calif., said in an email Wednesday.
"The Marine Corps now appears to see deployments in Darwin and Australia as hubs for 'impact' towards Southeast Asia and the region," he said.
Marines in hiding this year have trained in every Australian state except Tasmania and worked alongside colleagues in Australia, Indonesia, Japan and East Timor, DiPietro said.
Previously, Marines in rotating units were trained in countries near Australia, such as East Timor and Tonga.
According to Newsham, rotation has a political and psychological dimension.
"This suggests a degree of seriousness and persistence that the Marine Corps and the United States are not necessarily characteristic of U.S. operations in the region," he said. "And it's all done with an eye to future battles – if that's what it takes. In other words, something big is about to happen and everyone knows it."
Southeast Asia is a potential arena for conflict with China, which has vowed to build bases in disputed areas of the South China Sea and forcefully reunify Taiwan if necessary.
Northern Australia has become an important base of operations for Marines in the region, Newsham said.
"Of course, there should be many other places where Marines (and U.S. forces) are stationed in the Indo-Pacific," he said. "But it's not… So Darwin's importance is magnified."
This year's Marine Corps rotation to Darwin was probably the busiest yet, Ross Babbage, Australia's former undersecretary of defense, said in an email Wednesday.
"I expect rotations to become bigger and more substantial in the future. [U.S. Air Force and Navy] And perhaps US military operations in and around Australia in the years to come.
During Exercise Coolendon in July and August, Marines used U.S. Army logistic support ships and MV-22s to transport troops and vehicles 650 miles from Darwin to Broome, 1,000 miles north of Perth, Western Australia. I moved it.
Over the past six months, Marines have practiced littoral combat and sea denial tactics on islands in northern Australia, including the Tiwi Islands in the Timor Sea and South Goulburn Island in the Arafura Sea, DiPietro said in a news release.
They also worked out at the Shoalwater Bay Training Area and Jungle Training Center in Taree, Queensland and Yampi Sound Training Area in Western Australia, he said.
"Throughout training, Marines learned a lot about the Indo-Pacific fieldcraft, which allowed them to adapt to higher temperatures, moist air and increased vegetation," DiPietro said.
Carlyle Thayer, Professor Emeritus at the University of New South Wales and Lecturer at the Australian Defense Force Academy, advanced base exercises for the expedition to capture and hold South Goulburn Island in the Arafura Sea in August and September. was included in the rotation.
"The task of the strike force was to install low-altitude air defense systems and carry out area denial," he said in an email Wednesday.
Next year's rotation is set to begin in March and will include training on sea lane ambushes and sea denials of enemy warships, Thayer said.

House Rules and Tabletops
My wife sometimes accuses me of being a stickler for the rules only when it suits me. And honestly, though it's not a quality I exactly admire in myself, she's not wrong. We'll be playing a board game, and a situation comes up that doesn't particularly effect me, and I'm like "eh, we'll just do it like this, I'm pretty sure that's what the rulebook says." But make the stakes personal for me as a player, and suddenly I'm citing Section 8 Subsection 3 Paragraph 11 Lines 6-14 of the rulebook trying to make sure the situation is supposed to go my way. It's a fault I have as a player, and I think that's one reason being the GM of tabletop RPGs is such an enjoyable process for me – I can play God with the rules a bit and it's in my job description.
If you're not familiar with the term "house rules" when it comes to gaming, it basically refers to any unwritten rules that are enacted in that particular campaign setting. "The rulebook may say this, but when I'M in charge, it works like this." With the exception of Dread, I have never been the GM of a tabletop game where I didn't use some kind of house rules.
With the first game I ran, Mutants and Masterminds, my intentions behind house rules were somewhat less than noble. You see, in M&M, the numerical value for skills like Acrobatics, Technology, and Stealth can vary wildly from character to character. A character might have an "average" Persuasion at rank 10, while a character with maxed out Persuasion might have rank 20. Compare this to non-skill stats, like a superpower or a stat like Strength or Stamina – average is 5-6, maximum is 10. This means that the difficulty class (DC) of stat checks versus skill checks would need to be wildly different for the skill checks to be challenging. The problem (at least in my tiny mind) was when skills were being used in combat or being countered by enemy superpowers – if a skill could be twice as high as a power or an ability score, then someone with high skills could just trump everybody. Plus, the huge variation in skill values meant it would be difficult to make a fair test challenging for everybody. After all, a somewhat challenging DC for someone with a 10 Persuasion would be DC 20, a check that would be offensively easy for the guy with 20 Persuasion. But if you made the DC 30 for the guy with 20 Persuasion, then the one with 10 Persuasion would literally be helpless without a critical roll. Because my first-time GM self thought it was too difficult to design DCs around that problem, I changed the rules. I set the skill caps equal to the attribute and superpower caps.
This caused its own problems – some checks in the book were designed around the higher skill caps, so I had to fiddle with those. Tightening the skills meant that there was little to no difference between a guy who was agile but had no stealth training, and the guy who had extensive training in stealth. Their stealth ability ended up almost the same, if not totally identical. This made the idea of a skill-based character pretty obsolete, as a character who put all of their points in ability scores could accomplish the exact same things thanks to my ridiculous house rule. Unfortunately, this house rule persisted through my second game of M&M (I hadn't learned my lesson), and so my players were stuck using low-level skills. Did it make it easier for me to assign DCs to checks? Absolutely. Was it really better for everybody? No.
It took me awhile, but I finally learned the golden rule to house rules: YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY TRY THE REAL RULES BEFORE YOU START REPLACING THEM. That seems simple, but the caps here are all for me – it is crazy how often I wanted to change a rule I read about without even seeing how it worked in play first. I wanted to use house rules to make it easier for me to run the game, but that's not how it works. A good house rule should fix a legitimate problem with the game.
Now when I say "problem," let me explain what I mean. A "problem" is any rule that is a serious stumbling block for your players. Something that doesn't gel with the group dynamic, or that the group just cannot get their head around. Chances are, it isn't "wrong" or "bad," something the creators should have to fix. It just doesn't work for the folks you have gathered together at the table.
As an example, let me talk about some house rules that I put in place for my Dungeon World campaigns. When I started running Dungeon World for the group I game with, the idea of bonds very quickly became a detriment to the experience. If you aren't familiar with bonds in Dungeon World, a bond is a statement like "I owe Geoffrey a favor now that he's saved my life," or "I'll teach Priscilla what it really means to love nature." It's a statement that describes your relationship, and when that statement no longer applies, or has reached the next level, you mark XP and write a new bond. It's a way to reward players for getting to know each other and also to encourage them to roleplay the relationship between them. Problem was, my players just could not seem to agree on when bonds were resolved. One person would be like "hey, I think we resolved this, right?" and the other one would be like "nah, we still got that bond." The bonds never changed, no experience was gained, and the whole system became stagnant. The players needed something else to make them care about each other. What I ended up doing was stealing the history (Hx) mechanic from Apocalypse World, Dungeon World's darker parent. It focuses less on specific conditions of the relationship and instead gives you points when certain actions are taken. History goes up when characters help or betray each other, and when it reaches a certain number, the characters reach a new "level" of history and both mark XP. It was an effective way to solve the conundrum; my players are less focused on trying to fix specific bonds and instead are just helping or hurting each other and reaping the rewards.
Another rule my players really struggled with was the alignment system. Normally in Dungeon World, you choose an alignment on your class page and it has a statement like "rush into danger without a plan," or "refuse to accept payment for a good deed." If you do that thing in the session, you get XP. The system encourages you to behave like your alignment, but it has some faults. Some characters simply do not get the opportunity to act out their alignment conditions – we encountered this problem a lot when someone with a social alignment condition ended up trapped in a dungeon for a week. The alignment condition was also a problem because some players went WAY out of their way to get that XP every session, sometimes drastically derailing the game and making other players angry in their attempts to be good or evil or chaotic or whatever. During my first campaign, my solution was to take away alignment conditions – as long as we could agree that they did something good, or lawful, or neutral, then they got the XP. It accomplished the goal of encouraging players to roleplay their alignment while also removing the problem of everyone trying to do one specific thing in order to get XP.
In my current Dungeon World campaign, I changed up the alignment a bit more. The characters now have two alignments a la D&D – I chose to do this because I believe that it creates a more complex and interesting character. Additionally, I added another incentive for roleplaying alignment – mechanical benefits. These bonuses are small – maybe a player gets +1 forward or a small bit of information for acting a specific way. But having a mechanical reason to roleplay their alignments in addition to the XP gained has helped most of my players to look at their alignment more closely.
Now maybe you play Dungeon World and the idea of changing those things seems ridiculous. Maybe bonds work perfectly for your gaming group, and alignments have never derailed the sessions. That's great – don't change them! But there might be something that works for me that you totally hate and need to alter, and that's cool too. Ultimately, the house rules you design need to make the experience better for you and the people you are playing with.
I hope this has been helpful and that if, like me, you have struggled with when and how to use house rules, this can make that process easier for you. Feel free to comment with questions about the house rules I use, or to suggest your own solutions to problems your gaming group has experienced!

Q: Removing value from a comma seperated list with Regex I'm having difficulty using regex to remove a value from a comma seperated list; the value could be anywhere in the list, my current solution which doesn't seem to work is:
var val = "455";
    sList = sList
        .replace(new RegExp("\b"+val,""))
        .replace(new RegExp("\b"+val+",(.+)"),"$1")
        .replace(new RegExp("\b(.+),"+val),"$1")
        .replace(new RegExp("(.*),"+val+",(.+)"),"$1,$2");

List could be:
var sList ="455" || "val1,val2,455,val4,valn" || "455,val2,val3,valn" || "val1,val2,val3,455";

Could anyone advise?
Many thanks, Alex

A: As JNYRanger suggests it, it is more simple to split your string with commas, to remove the value and then to join the resulting array with comma:
var str= "val1,val2,455,val4,valn";

str = str.split(',').filter(function (i) { return i !== '455' }).join(',');

To do it with regex, you can simply list all possibilities like this:
/^455(?:,|$)|,455(?=,|$)/

Example:
var re = new RegExp("^" + val + "(?:,|$)|," + val + "(?=,|$)");

str = str.replace(re, '');

A: Some people like to use split and join:
var keep = [];
"val1,val2,455,val4,valn".split(",").forEach(function(val) {
  if (val !== "455") keep.push(val);
});
keep.join(",");

will yield:
"val1,val2,val4,valn"

Others, like me, would prefer to use regex's match instead, replacing split(",") above with match(/[^,]+/g).

Colts Host 2017 Local Pro Day For Area Draft Prospects
Intro: More than 25 local draft prospects were at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center on Wednesday for the Colts Local Pro Day. Who participated in this year's Pro Day involving players from surrounding colleges and area high school products?
Kevin Bowen
Colts.com Writer
INDIANAPOLIS –In less than a week, the Colts will be welcoming back their own players for the start of the 2017 offseason program.
On Wednesday, the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center was busy though with more than 25 area draft prospects hoping to be Colts in a few weeks.
The Colts hosted their annual Local Pro Day on Wednesday morning, which included several potential draftees who participated in this year's NFL Combine.
A new NFL rule this year expanded the talent pool for the Colts Pro Day attendees to three Big Ten colleges.
Prospects from Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, along with collegians that went to high school in the Indianapolis area were at the west side complex working out in front of Colts coaches and the personnel department.
"It's really special for kids that have rooted for the Colts, to get to come spend time in our facility and work with our coaches," new GM Chris Ballard said on Wednesday.
"I think we've had a kid (make an NFL roster) in every one of these workouts the last few years so this is just another piece to the puzzle that we will go back and put together with this workout, with their film, who they are as persons and figure out what we are going to do."
Prospects went through a Combine-like setting (40-yard dash, vertical jump, short shuttle, etc.) before taking part in position drills ran by the coaching staff.
Ballard had a few positions in particular catch his eye.
"I was really impressed with the O-line and the outside linebackers, really good movement," Ballard said. "There's a couple of big wideouts that could really run, so that's exciting to see."
Here's the list of 2017 Local Pro Day attendees for the Colts:
NT-Rob Bain (Illinois)
C-Deyshawn Bond (Cincinnati, Warren Central High School)
DT-Jarrod "Chunky" Clements (Illinois)
OT-Michael Demos (Butler)

As a faculty at John Hancock Charter School, we are always looking for better ways to reach our students and help them succeed even when they fail. One such idea helping students to adjust their mindset in order to reach their true potential. The excerpt below comes from the book Mindset by Carol Dweck.
Every so often a truly groundbreaking idea comes along. This is one. Mindset explains: Why brains and talent don't bring success. How they can stand in the way of it. Why praising brains and talent doesn't foster self-esteem and accomplishment, but jeopardizes them. How teaching a simple idea about the brain raises grades and productivity. What all great CEOs, parents, teachers, athletes know. Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success—a simple idea that makes all the difference.
Mindsets are beliefs—beliefs about yourself and your most basic qualities. Think about your intelligence, your talents, your personality. Are these qualities simply fixed traits, carved in stone and that's that? Or are they things you can cultivate throughout your life? People with a fixed mindset believe that their traits are just givens. They have a certain amount of brains and talent and nothing can change that. If they have a lot, they're all set, but if they don't... So people in this mindset worry about their traits and how adequate they are. They have something to prove to themselves and others.

Following the release of the current highest box office making film Avengers: Infinity War, on May 18 another superhero movie arrived to the big screens. After the hit first film that is now the second highest grossing rated R movie ever, Deadpool finally returns for his highly anticipated sequel, Deadpool 2.
After the first movie made over $360 million during its lifetime in theaters with a budget of only $58 million, Deadpool 2 has some big shoes to fill. With a significantly higher budget of $110 million, Deadpool 2 scraped together $125,507,153 on its opening weekend.
This action-packed sequel draws characters from the first film, and introduces new cast members. Most notable is Cable, the time-traveling mutant cyborg from the future played by Josh Brolin and Domino, a mutant with luck-based abilities played by Zazie Beetz. The film keeps the same type of humor that the first film introduced. Deadpool cracks R-rated jokes, using potty mouth language, breaking the fourth wall and throwing out pop culture references that will keep fans bursting into laughter throughout the movie.
After the first film was released in 2016, the announcement of the sequel had fans running to their local theaters as soon as the film came out. "I went and saw Deadpool 2 during the opening weekend and it was amazing. I was laughing the whole time and there was plenty of action to keep you engaged as well. The following weekend, I went to see it again," junior Andre Khoury said.
The first movie's vulgar action and crude humor introduced a genre of superhero movies that had never been done before. Since Deadpool is more of an anti-hero, he works outside of the law and is able to make his own rules, which allows directors more freedom to do what they want in the Deadpool films. One of Deadpool's most well-known abilities is how he breaks the fourth wall. This means that the characters in the film or any type of media break the imaginary barrier between the movie and the audience. For Deadpool, he knows that he is in a movie and he makes plenty of references of that in the film.
Overall, Deadpool 2 is even funnier than the original. "I went and saw the movie with my friends, and we all loved it. We are huge fans of Deadpool, and after seeing it, I would definitely say it is one of my favorite movies ever," junior Dennis Moore said.

Q: How do I get Ubuntu to use Anaconda's python instead of previous Python installation? I know that a very similar question has been asked there, but I think my issue is different.
I have just installed Anaconda2 following the Anaconda documentation steps (downloading and executing the sh script), then re launching the shell.
I had a previously installed python version on /usr/bin, which was version 3.4.3. I have Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS.
I have created an environment which should run on python 2.7
conda create --name myenvpy2 python=2
source activate myenvpy2

If I look at my path, I have the following
echo $PATH
/home/gvo/anaconda2/envs/myenvpy2/bin:/home/gvo/anaconda2/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:...

On /home/gvo/anaconda2/envs/myenvpy2/bin I have the correct version of python
ls -l
python -> python2.7

And
./python --version
Python 2.7.12 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc.

Therefore, when running simply python I would expect the same result, since this folder contains a python and is the first of the $PATH variable. However :
python --version
Python 3.4.3

This effectively seems to be the /usr/bin version of Python
>>> import sys
>>> print (sys.executable)
/usr/bin/python3

I don't understand why, despite a python can be found in the first folder of the path, it goes through another version of Python, found in a later folder.
Please note that with a python=3 environment created and sourced, it indeed uses the correct python version installed by anaconda, which adds a lot to my confusion.
python --version
Python 3.5.2 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc.

Do you have any clue?

Expert Reaction: Should we be worried about future of Netflix
Expert Reaction: Should we be worried about future of Netflix?
An expert at the University of York comments on headlines warning of a downturn in Netflix subscribers for the first time in its history.
Netflix saw a fall in their subscriptions
Dr Ed Braman, Head of Film and Television at the University of York's Department of Theatre, Film and Television, said: "The growth of Netflix has been rather spectacular, so any fall in subscriptions is going to seem like big news. Few systems grow inexorably and the market is becoming more competitive.
"It is telling that Ofcom has just presented figures that suggested that Video on Demand (VoD) or Streaming Services have overtaken Pay-Per-View (PPV), suggesting that our affair with Streaming Video-on-Demand is not over, nor is our relationships with Netflix.
"Netflix and others will be looking to the next 'offering' to cement their status and maintain subscription rates with perhaps a more conservative growth.
"The issue will always be that Netflix trades on delivering major new content - like House of Cards - to attract a diminishing number of discretionary subscribers. And content which punches through is becoming more expensive.
"The potential Comcast take-over of Sky also introduces a new competitor looking to expand its offering with original content, but notably in an area – live topical broadcast – where Netflix does not yet seek to involve itself. This means that Netflix should still retain some distinction from other major players looking to expand their market share.
"Headlines that suggest concern that Netflix is on a downward spiral may be rather premature; not much has changed yet in what is already a volatile marketplace."

Forty Days of Prayer at the University of Arizona
We pitched our little white tent on the mall in the middle of our campus at the University of Arizona. People stared. But we were united in a common mission — 40 days of non-stop prayer for our campus. Surprisingly, all the fellowship groups eagerly got on board, but this was not your typical "annual unity event."
Most of our school's Christian groups have little interaction with each other. But that changed this year. From February 12 to March 19, we prayed 24/7, except for one week at spring break. As we met in the prayer tent, leaders and members of different fellowships came together — united under Jesus' simple vision of prayer for those in need around us. We wanted to bring together the Christian groups on campus and create a space for the UA community to meet God and Jesus.
The campus newspaper, the Arizona Daily Wildcat, printed a story with headlines: "Students pray non-stop." The story quoted a guy in our chapter. "I guess we feel like there's a lot at this campus that really needs to be prayed for," said Andy Hall, a freshman majoring in English affiliated with the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. "I feel like this is kind of a place of darkness and that the power of God can help. There are a lot of people who are hurting; there are a lot of people who are kind of lost."
Jenna was praying with others from three different clubs when one student, Oneida, started praying specifically for Young Life. She prayed for leaders to rise up and for effective ministry. "Without me saying a word to her about our needs as a ministry, she was able to pray for exactly what we needed," says Jenna. "God is awesome!"
For security reasons, we were required to take down the tent each evening and store it until the next morning. The Catholic Newman Center generously offered a room from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. each night so that prayer could continue. I was amazed to see how students in each group eagerly joined in by hosting the prayer times and doing setup for the tent each day.
Chasing unity
From the beginning, we fought to keep the vision as simple as we could: unity in the body of Christ. This grew out of Urbana06 and our study in Ephesians which says, "In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord" (Ephesians 2:21). We chose to chase after unity in the body, which glorifies God, rather than chasing an agenda.
By stripping the event of an agenda, we were free to just create a space where people could go and meet Jesus. This rendered denominational differences irrelevant because almost every Christ-follower values prayer. Some groups would not have participated if we had focused on some of those differences (like evangelism, for example). We chose to eliminate those differences by never raising the question, and not engaging in lengthy theological discussions. Our priority was not a picture-perfect prayer event, but simply coming together to glorify God. We tried not to complicate the event past that.
Only the beginning
There were many who passed by and interacted with the tent. The campus police (UAPD) came in one night and posted a list of prayer requests for us. A student who was there commented, "People believe in us and are relying on us for prayer." Some of the local churches also wanted to join us to pray for the body of Christ in Tucson, expanding on the vision.
One of my friends, Rachel, has been a part of our InterVarsity circle of friends for the past two years but did not know Jesus. She entered into a relationship with the Lord recently. To celebrate, she invited everyone from our InterVarsity chapter to her "birthday." I was overjoyed! It was awesome time of fellowship, prayer and worship as we praised Jesus that another one of his children had committed to follow him. It was so encouraging to our fellowship — many of us have been praying for Rachel for a long time.
Now our tent has been taken down, but our praying has not stopped. We believe this is just the beginning of what God will be doing. Throughout our prayer time, we have been very encouraged by stories of 24/7 from other campuses, especially Arizona State University which had a similar event last fall. We also received invaluable resources by the team from 24-7 Prayer USA. After 40 days of uninterrupted prayer and worship, the Christians at our school are even more united and passionate about seeing the kingdom of God come on our campus.

Why Everyone Hates Runners Right Now
Not too long ago, I wrote an short article with the headline "You In all probability Don't Require to Don a Mask Even though You Operate," which argued that the greatest way for runners to guard them selves and others from likely coronavirus an infection is to preserve utmost length. Judging by the response on social media, this short article touched a nerve. There were these who were irritated by the inclusion of the phrase "probably" in the headline, as if it were absurd to even take into consideration such an assault on private independence. Conversely, there were these who felt that the short article was irresponsible for questioning the gains of mask-carrying although training exterior. A single enterprising specific from the latter group reached out to me on LinkedIn, to notify me that I may well have brought about a person to choke to death on their have mucus. I'm not a sociologist, but I'd say the nationwide temper is tense.
The mask debate apart, these striving moments seem to be inspiring a much more general feeling of hostility to runners. Previous 7 days, Slate ran an short article about the rise of "anti-runner sentiments." On Monday, the Wall Road Journal facetiously advised that there was a "war on runners." It's not totally irrational. At a minute when we've all been instructed to regard one an additional as likely vectors for a deadly virus, runners can seem to pose a exceptional danger. The pace. The sweat. The heavy respiratory. It's making some people very nervous.
In his weekly column for New York journal, Andrew Sullivan vented his annoyance with "millennial joggers": "They appear up guiding so fast you just can't dodge the viral bullets they may well be spraying out their noses," he wrote in late March. "Stay the fuck away, ok." In the May possibly four difficulty of the New Yorker, the magazine's NYC-based writers collaborated to build a portrait of a town below siege which included this on runners in Central Park: "Early on in the pandemic, they experienced moved with an practically infuriating disregard for the new actuality, functioning, most of them maskless, in that everlasting clockwork way of town runners." Meanwhile, a columnist for the Jewish Chronicle summed matters up with the pursuing headline: "We will remember this as the period when joggers turned angels of death."
It's been argued that the pandemic has amplified American society's pre-existing conditions—e.g. our obscene health care process and dysfunctional leadership. In a significantly significantly less consequential way, the war on runners signifies an escalation of a delicate contempt that was most likely there all together. Sullivan admits as significantly in his column: "They appear at you like a runaway coach at the greatest of moments . . . These times, as they huff and puff and from time to time spit, they're not just irritating, they're menaces to public well being." Jogging may well be the world's most obtainable sport—you seriously can do it anywhere—but the flip side to that accessibility is that it also requires sharing the road with non-practitioners. "Running is most insidious since of its way of having proselytizing out of the gym," Mark Greif wrote in his 2004 essay "Against Work out." "It is a immediate invasion of public space." (A huge element of Greif's beef with physical exercise, as opposed to workforce sports, is that he portrays the hardcore exerciser as a form of repressed evangelist for a essentially "unsharable" activity one wonders how this argument retains up in the age of Strava.)
Unnecessary to say, most runners most likely never detect as proselytizers, and the general disconnect among how they see them selves compared to how they are perceived by others feels in particular pertinent correct now. For weeks, the directive from area and federal authorities has been to stay property if you can and to stay clear of all non-essential pursuits. The problems with that, of program, is that there is usually minimal consensus on what kinds of recreation qualify as essential. The mental well being gains of physical exercise may well be greatly regarded, but there is a huge difference among a brisk wander about the neighborhood and ripping a six-mile tempo session in your area park. To a non-runner, such tougher efforts—and, maybe, any form of running—might seem like a flamboyant disregard for the popular superior. (It most likely doesn't help that it's tougher to do a tempo with a mask on.) To others, the thrill of functioning fast for the hell of it can feel like an indispensable reprieve from the everyday madness. But, of program, it isn't seriously indispensable.
https://twitter.com/Bernstein/standing/1257713767116345345
The stakes are higher when it arrives to disagreements about what constitutes risky—as opposed to essential—behavior. The British philosopher John Stuart Mill famously asserted that in a certainly free culture we should be capable to do as we remember to "without impediment from our fellow-creatures, so extensive as what we do does not harm them even although they should think our carry out silly, perverse, or incorrect." I'm positive there are many people who think that likely for a 20-mile run is silly, perverse and, in some feeling, incorrect, but the notion that it could also be destructive to others is exceptional to our current fraught minute.
For now, the threat of outside transmission of COVID-19 looks very lower, in particular from runners who reveal essential popular feeling about preserving length. (For what it's truly worth, I have been heading out with a Buff that I can pull more than my nose and mouth in the unlikely function that I just can't give others a extensive berth. Due to the fact it's significantly from apparent how significantly superior a skinny layer of polyester can seriously do, this is much more of a symbolic gesture of solidarity than something else.) There's also been minimal proof that the coronavirus can unfold by way of sweat. Even so, as we head into summer months, the war on runners may morph into the war on shirtless bros on town sidewalks. I'm all for it.

Tobias Beck: "The journey of your heart - you are special!
Communication, Love
"Life doesn't always play out the way we want it to. On the contrary, it runs like the first pattern we recognize when we are born: the pattern of our heartbeat." Tobias Beck is a successful keynote speaker and coach. He knows that life consists of ups and downs - just like the recorded waves of our heartbeat. He says: "The very first thing that starts to live is our heart. And it is also the last thing with which we leave this world."
Tobias Beck: "Children adopt your view unfiltered!
According to the personality expert, the challenge is that many adults prefer monotonous normality: "Although life goes up and down, many adults have this zero line. Children, on the other hand, have an automatic desire for more. And children take over everything they perceive from their parents unfiltered," says Tobias Beck. If you always tell your children how hard your work or life is, they will adopt this view.
We only have this one life.
Tobias Beck
But that would be more than a pity. Or as Tobias Beck says: "We only have this one life. It starts sometime and it ends sometime. Children have a burning desire for more. They learn to walk, fall down, get up again - and they do it many times." Kids have stamina and they don't lose faith that one day it'll work out. So why do we so often lose our patience with ourselves later, when we are adults?
The challenge of your life
According to Tobias Beck, the challenge in life is that at some point we run into a black box - mostly between the ages of 20 and 60. He says: "We don't know exactly what we should do and how we should behave. And we adults often confuse two important terms, namely 'fun' and 'happiness'. Happiness is the feeling you get when you lie in your bed at night, close your eyes and want to jump up again in gratitude. But not to let yourself be shot at from the outside - for example with series and films. That is not happiness. That's fun."
Once you understand this difference, according to the Cooh live an incredibly full life. And there is another point that plays a decisive role. Tobias Beck: "No matter what you do, it is important to give back to others. Why do you do what you do? What is your purpose of existence? Why did you see the light of this world many years ago? At some point the millionaire will crumble to dust somewhere next to the beggar. And that's why it's so important that you take the best out of those minimal days you have here."
Tobias Beck: "I'm having mutant fits instead of tantrums."
Do you ever wonder how you're supposed to do that? How to deal with the constant ups and downs in life? For the successful personality expert the matter is clear. Tobias Beck: "We need more courage attacks and fewer tantrums in this society. We need people who are strong for others and willing to make decisions for others - people with great visions in their heads. You are the one who makes the difference in this society. There will always be people in your life who will reach out to you. You just have to learn to accept them."
Tobias Beck - a moving letter with depth
Tobias Beck has been working on personality development for many years now. A decisive point in his life was the death of the old lady Ruth, whom he met as an 18-year-old during his community service. Ruth left him a letter. He says, "This letter has changed a lot in my life." Are you curious? Here's what's in it for you:
My dear little friend,
you must have gotten old in all those years. Remember those dreams you used to have when you were in that ambulance with me? Your eyes shimmered like uncut diamonds. Did you bring your dreams to life? Look, the people who not only dream their dreams, but actually make them come true are the ones who are changing the world for all of us. They're the ones they use to build statues in city centers all over the world. Are you changing the world, my friend?
Have you had your dreams come to life?
Of course we can change the world in many different ways. Some teach things to others and sometimes see only small successes in them. Others compose music that reaches people's emotions. You know what? There are people who cry the day they are forced to retire. These are the people who really loved what they were doing.
Show your strengths
And you'll probably get angry now, my little friend, while you read this letter. And you'll say, "I get bludgeoned in the head all the time. "I can't take it anymore. I don't know what to do." And yes, life is not easy. And only for you will it put things in the way of showing your strength.
If you were healthy this morning rather than sick, you are better off than all those people who will not survive tonight. If you have clothes on your body, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are better off than 70 percent of your brothers and sisters on this planet. Get your head up and stop whining, little buddy.
In those moments when you manage to be who you really are without thinking about who you should be or what other people might think about you, in those moments your life light shines like a bright star. I want your life from now on to be an exciting journey. Because mine is over now.
your Ruth
Your heartbeat on a great journey
That's very moving. Tobias Beck's appeal to you is: "I would wish from the bottom of my heart that you would lay your hand on your heart for a moment - because that's when your journey begins, with the first heartbeat. It goes up and down. You are special until the last day."

Abstract: Using new large-scale, administrative data matching remittances and monthly payroll disbursals, we demonstrate how migrants' earnings in the United Arab Emirates affect their remittances. We consider several types of income changes: Ramadan, weather shocks, a labor reform and returns to time in the UAE. We demonstrate that two key characteristics of the income changes that affect the income elasticity of remittances are the observability of the income and whether the income change is positive or negative. The results are consistent with a private information model where remittances are viewed as payments in an income-sharing contract.

California Diners May Be Screened For Virus Before Seated
Co-owners Niccolo Angius, right, and Giuseppe Capasso measure available space in their outdoor seating area as they devise a plan to reopen their Cesarina restaurant Tuesday, May 12, 2020, once it is allowed by local authorities in San Diego.
California wants restaurants to screen guests for symptoms, have servers wear masks and keep diners at least 6 feet apart under guidance released Tuesday to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
California wants restaurants to screen guests for symptoms, have servers wear masks and keep diners at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) apart under guidance released Tuesday to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration didn't set a strict limit on the number of diners and allows members of different households to go out to eat together. But the state suggested using outdoor seating and encouraging takeout where possible to limit crowds. It also suggested disinfecting menus or providing disposable versions, suspending the use of salt and pepper shakers — or disinfecting them — and putting an end to preset tables.
The guidance applies throughout California but restaurants can't reopen for dine-in service until the counties where they are located get state approval for them to do so. More rural areas with few virus cases are expected to reopen dine-in restaurants more quickly, and Butte and El Dorado counties have already been cleared to start.
RELATED: San Diego County Allows More Businesses to Reopen
Mike Bartusick, owner of The Park Bench Café in Huntington Beach, said he already moved to disinfect menus and outfit workers with masks when dining out was still allowed. He figured ketchup and sugar would no longer remain on tables and with only outdoor seating he's confident he can get ready to open — but needs to know when.
"Everything's doable. I just want to get a date," he said, adding a little more than half his usual crew is currently working to handle takeout orders. "Most restaurants are going to need at least a week to gain their staff back."
Restaurants have been walloped by the stay-at-home order in California, which has allowed takeout orders but not in-person dining due to concerns about the virus's spread. Restaurant owners have been forced to lay off staff as takeout is often a fraction of their business and they have been rallying to reopen their doors.
In his daily briefing, Newsom said the guidance aims to provide flexibility to the broad range of restaurants that operate throughout the state while ensuring customers and workers feel safe.
California has more than 90,000 restaurants that generate $7 billion in sales tax each year, more than any other industry, according to the California Restaurant Association.
The group welcomed the focus on safety measures and said its members are eager to reopen so they can stay in business. The association had previously drafted its own list of recommendations, including limiting tables to no more than 10 people and an end to salad bars, buffets and shared bread baskets.
"Other states have established arbitrary rules around restaurant capacity, but what's important are safety measures and physical distancing," Jot Condie, the association's president, said in a statement.
RELATED: 'Not Realistic Standards': San Diego Politicians Want To Decide How To Reopen Businesses
But even with the new guidance, some restaurant owners said challenges remain. Jay Esopenko, owner of San Francisco's Union Larder, a wine bar and charcutier, said he can't reopen yet.
"Unfortunately for us we only have 35 stools and they're all about 18 inches apart so we could probably get 10 people in there, and there is no way to get any distance between the staff," he said. "It just doesn't help us right now. I wish it did, but yeah, that's part of our charm — we're crowded every night, in close quarters. That's kind of how we like it."
Blake Mellgren, chef proprietor of Craft House in Dana Point, said he spread out pairs of bar stools to ensure physical distancing and expected servers would need masks. He said he initially plans to only take reservations and will build in time to sanitize tables but is concerned about some of the state's guidance, such as having kitchen staff wear masks while cooking in sweltering conditions.
"If you're expecting a cook to cover their face and not be able to breathe at maximum capacity, we're going to run into health hazards," he said.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.
Niccolo Angius, co-owner of Cesarina in San Diego, said he was glad state officials didn't specify the number of diners he can seat at his restaurant, which boasts a large patio area. He said he doesn't know if pastry chefs can still make desserts at customers' tables, but patrons will be able to continue to see the restaurant's pasta-making viewing room since it is enclosed with windows.
Only now, the pasta makers will don gloves and masks — safety measures that Angius said restaurants must get right the first time.
"If there is a second wave, and we have to close again after reopening, at that point, customers are going to be extremely scared about going out again," he said.
New Rules For Restaurants
California wants restaurants to screen guests for symptoms, have servers wear masks and keep diners at least 6 feet apart under guidance released Tuesday to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Also on KPBS' San Diego News Matters podcast: San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Tijuana Mayor Arturo González Cruz announced a new regional binational working group focused on tracking cross-border cases of coronavirus and more local news you need.
Health Tracking COVID-19California


Food hubs are popping up in Sydney like spring rolls at a buffet.
Sometimes referred to as food precincts or "foodie destinations", these pockets can be developer-led such as Haymarket's Steam Mill Lane or the product of a more organic process like the collection of top-notch eateries on Commonwealth Street, Surry Hills.
Of course eat streets and food hubs have been an integral part of Sydney's dining scene for decades. Leichhardt's Little Italy in the 1960s, for example, the Vietnamese block party surrounding John Street, Cabramatta, and Lakemba's pickled rainbow of Bangladeshi and Middle Eastern restaurants.
However, urban density has lead to a significant increase of food hubs within inner-city suburbs over the last three years. With Sydney expecting 2.4 million more residents over the next three decades, it's likely a truck load more are coming too.
Overdevelopment? Perhaps. But potentially great news for people who like eating and drinking nice things.
In 2018, the NSW Government introduced a new definition of "artisan food and drink industry" to local environmental plans. The amendment was submitted because "boutique, craft or artisan food and drink products" were recognised to be increasingly popular "among consumers who want an alternative to mass-manufactured offerings".
The amendment aims for "artisan food and drink industry" to be "permitted wherever 'light industry' is permitted". What this may mean for locals is fewer Big Macs and more wine bars and bowls of cacio e pepe on their doorstep.
In the meantime, here's a snapshot of Sydney's five most significant food hubs that have sprung up the past three years. What is our definition of a food hub? Anywhere you can traverse from one end to the other while wearing heels, carrying a sack of potatoes or nursing a hangover without too much discomfort.
A proper food hub also needs at least four legitimately great bars and restaurants to be worth crossing suburbs for. These top five fit that bill.
If, like me, you were initially cool to Barangaroo's charms ("It'll be as dead as Darling Harbour in 10 years," I said more than twice), it might be time to pay Lendlease's urban renewal project another visit. Even on a drizzly, humid school night, the stretch of restaurants between the seafood-focused Cirrus and Barangaroo House heaves with Sydneysiders sharing plates and swizzling spritzes. A note to the decibel adverse: it can get very loud.
Two-hatted Cirrus remains the jewel of Barangaroo's Crown but there's a lot to love about Banksii's vermouth collection and the barramundi jungle curry at Muum Maam. A modern Chinese banquet at Lotus represents ripper value at $59 a head while Somer Sivrioglu's Anason (the first permanent restaurant to open on Barangaroo's Wulugul Walk exactly three years ago) offers a Bosphorus feast to rule them all.
A chef change was announced last week at Matt Moran's Barangaroo House, with Tom Haynes of Chiswick taking over as executive chef from Cory Campbell, who departed the three-level mega-venue to focus on a project of his own. It's understood that rooftop boozer Smoke and the ground level House Bar will remain business as usual (that business being tie-loosening beers and cocktails) while finer-diner Bea will take a more approachable turn a la Chiswick. Haynes is also gunning for a rooftop garden but first needs to convince the building's owners it's a sensible idea.
The King Street Wharf precinct lies just south of Barangaroo House should you be keen for restaurants serving barbecue chicken pizzas and pouring Red Bull in cocktails. Directly behind Wulugul Walk, however, and largely servicing Bararangoo's commercial towers, is a multitude of eateries making Sydney a better place for casual lunch. Bourke Street Bakery, Two Sticks, Ume Burger, Devon, Old Town Hong Kong (very popular), Rivareno, Verd and many more hits.
Creating a mini picnic with Bel & Brio Deli smallgoods and trekking north to Barangaroo Reserve is a fine idea when the sun's out.
Marking the western border of Chinatown is Darling Square's new Steam Mill Lane, sandwiched between the Convention Centre and Paddy's Markets. The precinct has a cracking selection of eateries for its size, it's just a shame the 70-metre-long strip (marketed as "Sydney's Largest Little Laneway") is so bloody grey.
Giant Tetris blocks and a patch of AstroTurf do little to make you forget you're surrounded by soaring concrete walls very good at obstructing the sun. Thankfully Gyradiko's pita makes the excursion worthwhile.
Edition Coffee Roasters embraces its surrounds with polished concrete surfaces and black everything (that's cutlery, napkins, tables, the lot.) I'm willing to say you won't find a better coffee within 10 minutes by foot, although Edition's Japanese souffle pancakes are what the locals come for, loaded with mango, stone fruit and cream cheese. They take a minimum of 20 minutes to make, so perhaps not ideal for breakfast on the go.
Steam Mill's Marrickville Pork Roll outpost can fix you a sandwich quick sticks, though, and its crunchy, crusty banh mi is a gold standard of the genre. Turbo-charging that roll with a Belles Hot Chicken tender from across the lane is recommended.
Bang Bang Izakaya is this food pocket's go-to in the evening for party-time sashimi, sushi and robata-grilled chook. Asahi pints are essential.
After a few false starts, it seems the Kensington Street precinct is finally getting a groove on. There's now a chilled and happy vibe most nights of the week with locals making the most of the pocket's bars, dessert stores and restaurants.
Two-hatted Automata has been a hit since the Chippendale hub launched in 2015, thanks to chef Clayton Wells' confident cooking and ways with hyper-seasonal produce. Silvereye and Kensington Street Social opened at the same time to much fanfare and both restaurants have since shuttered. The Silvereye site is hosting pop-up dinners until a permanent resident moves in, while Kensington Street Social is now Barzaari. The eatery opened in late October serving the food of Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt and I can confirm the tarama is satin-smooth and super delicious.
The original Barzaari launched in Marrickville two years ago and its Old Clare arrival reflects a larger trend of developers attracting suburban heros into the city. See also Gyradiko and Marrickville Pork Roll above. Original concepts are risky endeavours in any field, and these flash versions of suburb favourites are a bit like Hollywood remakes of acclaimed indie films. It's a recipe that works for creating a lively food precinct, in any case.
A great food pocket should be able to sustain customers from morning to night, and Clayton Wells' A1 Canteen delivers on that brief for Kensington Street in spades. A1's muffuletta sandwich may well have been Australia's most Instagrammed dish of 2018, but the good times extend from LP's sausages for breakfast to pre-batched negronis and whole flounders at night.
Speaking of LP's Quality Meats, Luke Powell's smoked beef-rib emporium is only a couple of blocks over with fellow backstreet buddy Ester. It's these two restaurants that put first put Chippendale on the modern culinary map, causing food lovers to cross not just suburbs, but state borders and straits.
And if you're keen for a quick feed, Kensington Street's Spice Alley has you sorted for hawker-style kiosks rocking Singapore noodles, pad thai, dumplings and laksa.
What? The Rocks? Circular Quay?! The tourist trap food wasteland of pancakes, crepes and more crepes? Yes, correct – there are now more reasons to visit the area than Peter Gilmore's Quay. Specifically and geographically, I'm talking about a crescent-moon shaped curve that begins at Suez Canal and ends across the road from Circular Quay Station.
Tayim opened in December and brought modern Middle Eastern cuisine to The Rocks. Beautiful sandstone interiors are the setting for sumac-cured kingfish, mushroom bourekas and skewered Yamba prawns, while an offshoot deli offers fresh falafel pitas to takeaway. A short walk down the road you can find Maybe Sammy on the edge of the CBD – a 1950s Vegas-inspired bar with sharp cocktails shaken by Italian men in even sharper suits.
Maybe Sammy doesn't have much in the way of dinner options, but Alfred Street's fancy Gateway food court absolutely does. Dexus real estate group cut ribbon at the Gateway in 2016 and although the ground floor options aren't much chop (Din Tai Fung is an exception), the first level is home to the excellent Chat Thai. Neil Perry has a Burger Project here.
It's also worth mentioning the Doss House, which opened in a heritage-listed basement near the Observer Hotel last year. If you want to drink top-shelf whisky in a chesterfield and not be bothered, this is the place to do it.
When Mary's Group relaunches the Basement in May, Circular Quay is going to go off like it's 1988.
Barangaroo might have the most restaurants on this list, but Commonwealth Street has most Millennial street cred. There's no better way to show off your new A.P.C sweater and Monocle magazine than with a window perch and macchiato at Paramount Coffee Project.
Although it can be a struggle to jag a seat at PCP during lunch rush, it's nowhere near as maddening as lining up across the road for a table at Chin Chin in the evening. Once inside though, it's papaya salad, Isaan chicken and cocktails all night long. Neighbouring Longrain offers more of the same but in a way (way) more relaxed and spacious dining room.
Back in the Paramount complex, Poly is where Ester chef Mat Lindsay grills (all coals, no gas) cracking seafood, meat and veg and carries bold flavours with buttery sauces and ferments. Whether Poly is more natural wine bar or casual restaurant is irrelevant. All that matters is that it's a lot of fun and if you have to wait for a table then Hotel Hollywood is open for schooners around the corner. Poly will send you a text when your number's up.
You can find Sydney's Little India in a sleepy suburban pocket on the edge of Parramatta. Around 20 restaurants line Wigram Road and its intersecting Christmas-light-filled streets, providing snacks, vegetarian curries and all manner of sweet desserts.
The bustling locality centered around Dixon Street, Haymarket, has been Sydney's premier destination for dumplings, noodles and cheap corkage since the 1970s. Redevelopment in the area is attracting savvy new operators such as Bancho Bar and Market City's luxe hotpot restaurant Dolar Shop.
Sydney's oldest Chilean restaurants, La Paula, provides one of Australia's greatest mayo-spiked hot dogs on Barbara Street while Lao Village a couple of blocks over sets a fried rice benchmark. In between these two food heroes lies a cornucopia of Iraqui, Afghan and Lebanese barbecued excellence.
The humble Lemon Grove food court is home to many small treasures such as fragrant noodle soups at De-Pho and hand-pulled dan dan noodles at Grape Garden. Closer to Chatswood station, northern Thai curries at Chum Tang never compromise on heat and General Chao opened in February specialising in high-end XO.
Locals flock to the Hall Street food precinct after work for Da Orazio porchetta, A Tavola ragu and takeaway Pasticceria Papa cheesecake to eat in front of the telly. Meanwhile, newcomers Ode and Totti's are drawing crowds to lower Bondi Road with fresh and simple cooking engineered for good times with old friends.
