Face of Defense: Paratrooper makes his first jump in more than 30 Years
Big League National Security
VICENZA, Italy, Feb. 6, 2018 — It is uncertain what the record is for the time between Army parachute jumps, but Lt. Col. John Hall may hold it at 30 years and six months.
When Hall parachuted from a military aircraft last month, it was the first time he had done so in over thirty years. Hall, a 53-year-old school teacher at Kearsley High School in Flint, Michigan, is serving a one-year tour of duty in Vicenza, Italy, as the public affairs officer for the storied 173rd Airborne Brigade, the contingency response force for U.S. Army Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
"I first worked with the 173rd Airborne when I was put on active duty with the Michigan National Guard in 2014 and sent to the Baltic Countries of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve and in support of Latvia, our State Partnership Nation," Hall said.

"The 173rd Airborne Public Affairs leaders and I developed a close working relationship, so last summer when they needed an experienced public affairs officer to lead their team, I was selected and put on orders," he said.
The 173rd Brigade commander sent word to Hall that he would be expected to jump from aircraft as a part of his duties.
"I was really excited and completely terrified at the same time. I graduated from 'Jump School' when I was 19 years old and last jumped when I was 22, so I knew what to do," Hall said with a laugh.
The 173rd put Hall through a one-day airborne refresher course, he said. This training included parachute landing, actions in the aircraft and emergency procedures, followed by multiple jumps from a 34-foot tower in which his technique was assessed.
The next day, Hall reported to Aviano Air Base in northern Italy, donned his parachute with a couple of hundred other soldiers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade, climbed aboard an Air Force C-17 aircraft and, when 1,200 feet over the Juliet Drop Zone, exited the door and tested his training.
Perfect landing
"The jet blast spun me in the air so when my 'chute deployed it was pretty twisted and did not have a full canopy," Hall said. "I was surprised that I automatically reached up, pulled the 'risers' apart and worked the parachute fully open. Good training takes over and we automatically do the right thing. I then checked my position in the sky and prepared to land. It was all over in less than a minute. I took up a good parachute landing fall position and the landing was perfect."
Hall has served in the Army since graduating from LakeVille High School in the Flint area where he was an All-State wrestler, president of the school's student council and where he began dating his eventual wife, Laura.
"I enlisted as a combat medic when I was 19 years old and served in the 82nd Airborne Division in the mid-1980s, where we conducted frequent parachute operations as a part of our combat training," Hall said. "After leaving the 82nd, I didn't think I would ever jump from a military aircraft ever again."
Since leaving active duty with the 82nd, Hall has served in the Army Reserve, the Florida and Michigan National Guard, and has been called back to active duty — to include combat duty in Iraq — on multiple occasions, but he has not been assigned to a unit with an airborne mission until now.
He was initially commissioned as a cavalry officer following officer candidate school and served as a Scout Platoon Leader in E Troop, 153rd Cavalry Regiment in Ocala, Florida. His later assignments include company commander in the 1-125 Infantry in Flint, Michigan, as well as executive officer and commander of the 126th Press Camp Headquarters at Fort Custer, Michigan. It was in the 126th PCH that Hall served a combat tour in Baghdad.
Service in Iraq
Oddly enough, while serving as a press officer for Multinational Forces Iraq, Hall was serving in a combat zone at the same time as his daughter, Savannah, who had recently been commissioned as an officer through the University of Michigan ROTC program.
"My daughter, Savannah, grew up around the Army and has seen me in uniform since I was in the 82nd Airborne," Hall said. "She decided when she went to college that she wanted to enroll in ROTC, serve in the army and be a paratrooper. It was indeed a proud moment when I pinned her 'Jump Wings' on her at Fort Benning, Georgia. And now my youngest daughter, Samantha, is shipping off to Army basic training later this spring. It remains to be seen if she, too, will become a paratrooper."
Hall has been working in Vicenza, Italy, on the senior staff of the 173rd Airborne Brigade since August 2017. In this short time, he has supported airborne combat training in Latvia, Germany, Slovenia, a historic mission to Serbia, mountaineering training with the Italian Alpini Brigade, and next week will travel to Toulouse, France, to support 173rd Airborne combined engineering operations with French paratroopers.

High operational tempo
"The operational tempo here at the 173rd Airborne is intense. We continually have combat training going on with our NATO allies throughout Europe," Hall said. "Our command philosophy is that we are always 'preparing our soldiers for the unforgiving crucible of ground combat.'"
A significant part of this, in the 173rd Airborne Brigade, is conducting airborne operations, so Hall will complete several more jumps from military aircraft in the coming months.
As far as teaching is concerned, Hall intends to return to the classroom teaching English, history and theater for the fall 2018 semester. It is certain that the dynamic training and real-world experiences contribute to his classes and his students' enthusiasm.
Until then, Hall is an Army paratrooper and he said he's proud of the soldiers he works with.
Hall added, "It is truly an honor to be able to serve with the 'Sky Soldiers' of the 173rd Airborne Brigade. To be able to begin my military career with the 82nd Airborne Division and end it with the 173rd Airborne Brigade is remarkable. I am humbled every day by the discipline, determination and dedication of these young Americans forward stationed and always prepared to defend their country."

14.1.2013 Penny's pregnancy is true ! I took her to the ultrasound today.
Penny whelped two perfect male puppies. Both had ridges. We cherished them here at home for two months and after that the brothers moved to their new homes. Jussi, Miss Sunnypenny's Buffalo Bill moved to Korpilahti. Nala, her half-sister got the little brother !
Yoda, Miss Sunnypenny's Billy the Kid lives in Pirkkala with family Höylä. We wish the both boys happy and long life !
thank Hana and her family once again for their lovely hospitality !!
and finished his title Finnish Champion.
We had some very nice show trips during the Summer. In July we visited Pärnu for a weekend. Pessi's brother Rommi, Miss Sunnypenny's Agent Promise keeped us company there. Both Pessi and Rommi gained Estonian Champion title and 2 CACIBs at that hot weekend.
We have spent a lot of time at home during this season. Maya has made herself home so well, I am very satisfied to have a puppy like her in our family. Unfortunately she broke one of her toes in August and had to have the stupid bandage in it for 7 weeks. But now it is history and she can run free !
Maya entered her first show in Seinäjoki in October. She did fine job being BOB puppy under the judge Arne Foss. Miss Sunnypenny's Billy the Kid was BOS puppy and buffalo Bill 2. male puppy. Pessi placed BOS getting one more CACIB. What a great day !
Happy birthday Agents ! Our A-litter is now 3 years old.
Jussi & Yoda, 6,5 wo.
The brothers are now officially juniors, not puppies anymore. Jussi and Yoda reached the age of 9 months in November.
In December it was time to travel to Helsinki to enter Nordic Winner and Winner shows. Also Miss Sunnypenny's Agent Sugar travelled a long way from Rovaniemi to Helsinki to run in the ring. Thanks Juulia for your activity !
You can find Pessi's and Maya's critiques at their own show pages.
Thank you Liisa for your great hospitality during the show weekend !

The Hidden Threat: A Shortage of Correctional Officers
Plus more public-sector management news you need to know.
By Katherine Barrett & Richard Greene | Columnists
Government management experts. Their website is greenebarrett.com.
"He hit me in the forehead," a correctional officer recounted to WKSU in Ohio. "The punch caught me off guard. I stumbled into the seating area where I became pinned, bent over backwards in between the chairs and the tables." The story just gets worse from there.
The risk to safety of corrections officers and inmates is accelerating in a number of states in which there's a shortage of prison guards, which is certainly the case in Ohio. What's happening here? Many states simply don't seem to have put a high priority on providing sufficient payroll to lure men and women to work in unpleasant 24-hour-a-day institutions. What's more in many states, prisons are located in remote parts of the state. That's not a great way to attract fresh new talent. Additionally, though training of correctional officers varies from state to state, according to Jess Maghan, director of the Forum for Comparative Correction, "Training is one of the first things that's cut."
This appears in the free Management e-newsletter. Click to subscribe.
Alabama may be something of an extreme. During fiscal years 2011 to 2013, the state cut more than $12.6 million in correctional salaries. At the same time, it pulled back on recruitment and retention programs. The result is that staffing levels are at about 61 percent of their prescribed strength, according to a piece in the Birmingham News.
In some states with shortages of correctional officers, leaders and managers are simply not very concerned about the issue, despite its ramifications for officer and inmate safety. "There's not much thought about hiring correctional officers," Alabama State Representative Cam Ward told us. "They see that they need to build more roads. They see the Medicaid issue. Everyone has their own priorities. But corrections are a hidden threat. You can look at some maximum security facilities and see one correctional officer overseeing 85 or 90."
Savings from budget cuts may be limited, though. Alabama, for example, only saved about half of its $12.6 million in cuts; the remainder went to overtime. Then there's Virginia. According to an interim legislative study, which was designed to look closely at corrections staffing issues, it turned out that these shortages have "led the Department of Corrections to pay a significant amount of overtime wages, including $166,000 in July 2014 alone."
There's one obvious non-fiscal downside to overtime: guards wind up worn out when working as many as 16 hours at a stretch. "When they're on the 13th, 14th 15th hour, they're not as sharp as they should be," says Matt Taylor, an audit manager in Georgia.
We spend a lot of time talking to city, county and state government leaders on the assumption that these conversations will keep us on top of the way things really work. But we had a wakeup call over dinner the other night with a contractor friend of ours. He was telling us about the number of seemingly low-priority projects that had been coming his way over the last couple of months.
Why? He explained that in election years, constituents, particularly in relatively small communities, are suddenly imbued with the power to get roads fixed, curbs repaired and so on. Many of the typical methods for deciding which small capital projects to fund go out the window when a voter or a handful of voters can get their requests to leader running for reelection. Maybe we're just naïve not to have always recognized this reality.
Two DC government websites were relaunched last week. Track DC, which provides access to performance measurement information, and District of Columbia Open Data, which gives residents a powerful way to access both old and new data sets. The newly designed websites have spiffier charts, give more attention to the needs of mobile users and provide a way to export data. (Good move. Lately we've been hearing lots of complaints from people frustrated with data-rich sites that only let you download via pdf.)
One of the bravest aspects of the DC government's online presence is Grade.DC.Gov, which invites visitors to grade the services they're receiving. Grades that were calculated for September 2014 show a big range -- with the Metropolitan Police Department getting a D (the lowest grade) and Fire and Emergency Management Services an A+ (the highest).
So far, the number of residents availing themselves of the ability to grade their services is small. But we congratulate DC on including the number of graders -- a bit of important information that's often missing when government websites report citizen response.
Alaska was the only state that offered full online voting services to registered voters in Tuesday's midterm election, according to the Council of State Governments (CSG) Overseas Voting Initiative. According to preliminary reports, voting through the electronic system went smoothly and over 4,000 voters logged in to vote online; expectations in the state are that significantly more citizens will take advantage of this approach to voting in the next election.
Voters have tested the system a couple of times before -- first in the 2012 presidential election and then in the 2014 primary. It is designed to give Alaskans, many of whom live in remote places and have only slow mail delivery, a way to reliably cast their ballots. "It's an online voting laboratory," says Kalisa Kamanzi, director of the CSG initiative. "There's a real demand for this. You want to provide accessible elections and many ways for people to vote. Alaska does this really well."
When people talk about problems with turnover, typically they're thinking of turnover in low level jobs in government. But more attention needs to be paid to a phenomenon that is equally or more debilitating to the smooth functioning of cities, counties and states: turnover at the top levels. We've heard a variety of figures, but for jobs like state chief information officers, Medicaid directors and homeland security leaders, it appears that the old-timers are the folks who have lasted in these jobs for more than two years. Given the complexity of these positions, it seems unlikely that any office-holder, however brilliant, can be functioning at full steam in much less than a year. And that, in turn means that these agencies are frequently running with leaders who are still climbing a steep learning curve.
"The many governments within a single metropolitan area are almost designed to fight among themselves because state law makes them largely dependent on locally raised tax revenues ... People, pies, cars, rails, and the nebulous entity known as the economy might flow seamlessly across local boundaries, but sales and property tax dollars rarely do." -- Bruce Katz, founding director of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program
Cybersecurity is often found on the list of the most significant challenges facing state and local governments. A recent report created by consulting firm Deloitte and the National Association of State CIOs explored the rapidly expanding role of chief information security officers (who typically report to chief information officers).
One of their findings is that this role is increasingly gaining authority and consistent responsibilities from state to state. They're responsible for "establishing a strategy, execution of that strategy, risk management, communicating effectively with senior executives," and so on.
The big obstacle is apparently that "budgets are still not sufficient to fully implement effective cybersecurity programs."

Tonight was a BIG WIN for sanity… the people in MS voted down the amendment which would have made fertilized eggs people and taken away women's hard won choices and rights. And in Ohio, the people voted against the extremists / Koch brothers who tried to take away collective bargaining/workers rights. And 50 million seniors who vote are against cuts to Social Security and Medicare according to AARP.
So of course, this all led to another stupid disagreement with one of my roommates who is a raving, brainwashed bible thumper who continually asserts his right to tell everyone else what to do, who hates everyone else's ideas (gay people, women, liberals, non-Christians, etc), and his extremist Faux news regurgitation about hating the Occupy Wall Street protesters… (meanwhile, he's the biggest freeloader I've EVER met, is on disability and refuses to pay his fair share, somehow that all works together… corporations freeload with not paying taxes and getting billions in corporate welfare) he was quoting one of his church buddies about how the Occupation is really all about the sin of envy… which is NOT at all what the Occupation is about. I told him to go spend 20 minutes with the local Occupiers and LISTEN to them talk and then come back and talk to me.
Well, of course he won't do that. He does NOT want to hear/listen to anyone who does not agree with him. He has too many preconceived notions to confront if he did listen and hear. And he'd have to OPEN UP his mind a tiny bit to other people and to Truth/Reality. He is living in a fantasy world and wants to live in the Dark Ages. Does anyone have a time travel machine? I'd be happy to send him (and the rest of them) back there.
Also, ironic and contradictory is how the GOP right wing extremists say they want small government yet they want BIG government to GOVERN gay people (marriage), women's wombs, workers, and intrude in our lives in all sorts of disturbing ways. They campaign saying that they want Jobs for Americans and all they do is try to overturn gay marriage, worker's rights and women's choices.
It made me think of how when I was 19 years old, I was engaged to be married to a guy who's family had money. They belonged to a country club. And everything that they did was about appearance. I abhorred not their money but what they did with the money, how they used it to lord it over others. I was not impressed and did not appreciate their lack of kindness, compassion and the spiritual/emotional vacuum of their lives. They were cruel people. And had no regard for anyone else. I was a sort of closet hippie and threw the baby (money) out with the bath water. I blamed money for their lack of honesty and their meanness. But it was not the money, it was the people's lack of humanity. The money was just the currency by which they expressed their hatred of the world and tried to prove their superiority to everyone else. A very sad and unsatisfactory state of affairs.
During the 80's, I traveled around the world for three years to numerous countries, with an interfaith, international, interdenominational prayer ministry. We prayed for other people and visited many churches of different faiths. We did not tell anyone else what to do or believe. We were not there to save anyone, although many of us had accepted Jesus. We were not about the right way to be Christian. And we saw a lot of hypocrisy in the various churches. A lot of reverends, priests and preachers telling others what to do, how to think and meanwhile they did not often practice what they preached in their own lives.
One of the local people carried this sign and posted it and I agree… I support the separation of Church and Hate… because nowadays there is much too much hate taught in the churches. And the good Christian flock/followers, like good Germans, go along with their leaders. But they are being used by people in power with no morals, no ethics, as tools in their extreme lust of power and greed.
So I say unto the Kingdom of God, cast out these thieves from amongst you. Open up your eyes and stop being sheep. For surely, you are and will be slaughtered. They are teaching you false doctrines in order to enslave you. Jesus came to set people FREE and empower not enslave. He said know them by their fruits… of kindness, love, and patience. He threw OUT the moneychangers at the temple. He had contempt for the Pharisees and Sadducees. Nowadays, he'd do the same with the false prophets from hell… the extremists who want you to goosestep to their tunes. Think for yourselves. Turn off Faux News, question your pastors, and read/listen and educate yourselves. And dare I say it, visit your local Occupation and talk to the people. Find out for YOURSELVES what it's all about. You might be surprised to learn that the Occupation is NOT about evil doers, sinners and (gasp) all a bunch of liberals/Democrats, Socialists.

[What's new in C# 6] [Mads Torgerson] [male speaker] Hi, I'm Mads Torgerson, and I'm a program manager on the C# language design team. I'll give you a quick tour through the features we are adding to the next version of C#. [Design Philosophy] In C#6, we decided not to add big new concepts that you have to wrap your head around. Instead, we wanted to give you a lot of small, but useful, features that help clean up your code, give it a boilerplate, and let your intent stand out more clearly. Let's go through these features and have a look. [Getter-only auto-properties] We'll start with auto-properties— in current C#, auto-properties must have setters. This puts immutable data types at a disadvantage, and that's a shame. So we now allow getter-only auto-properties. The way the compiler implements them, their backing field is read-only, just like you would have written it, and just like read-only fields, they can be assigned from the constructor. That doesn't call a setter. There is no setter. It just assigns directly to the backing field to initialize it. [Initializers for auto-properties] You can also now initialize auto-properties directly in the same way as with fields. The initializer, again, just assigns into the underlying field. Initializers work on the new getter-only auto properties as well as the good, old-fashioned ones with setters. But in this example, let's stick with getter-only auto-properties initialized by the constructor. [Using Static Members] We're introducing a new kind of using clauses that refer to types instead of name spaces. What this does is to put the static members of that type directly into scope, hence the name. If you look at this static method call, for instance, you don't need to prefix it with a class name, math, anymore— you can just call the square root method directly. So that's great for when a static class, like math, is really just a collection of functions you want to call liberally throughout your code. It's also convenient for using enum members directly without having to prefix them with a type name every time. Now, this can be overdone. But I've always felt that Monday's pretty clearly a day of the week and yellow is quite obviously a color. I don't gain much from having to state that every time in my code. [String interpolation] String.Format is a very useful and versatile API, but it's bulky, and the business with the placeholder numbers gets confusing. It's error prone, and it tends to muddle your intent. It would be better if the values to format in occurred in their place, and that is what this string interpolation syntax here is for. Let's do that in slow motion. This call to String.Format goes away and we add a dollar sign to signal that this is an interpolated string. Then we remove the placeholder numbers, leaving holes into which we put the expressions to be formatted in right there where they belong. Now push it all together, and it's really clear and terse. [Expression-bodied methods] There are many methods like this, where the body is just a single return statement with the result. For lambda expressions, we already give you a way of getting rid of this boilerplate with a single expression rather than a statement body. So why not do the same for methods? Inspired by lambda syntax, we used the lambda arrow to let you implement a method with just a single expression. This goes for other kinds of function members, too. For computer properties, it's often like this— a getter with a single return statement. That's even more boilerplate than the method with two levels of curly braces required. Now you can just write the whole thing like this— a lambda arrow and an expression. There's not even a get keyword. That's implied with the syntax. Let's pause to appreciate how much simpler and clearer this whole class declaration has gotten. All this nipping and tucking has really tightened it up from what you have to write today. This is the kind of effect we hope to have on your everyday code with C# 6. But there are still a few more features to go. [Index Initializers] Here's a method to turn points into JSON objects. Today, you can initialize properties in an object initializer, but index setters like these still have to be assigned in separate statements. Now we're extending object initializers to let you assign to indices inside them with the obvious square bracket syntax here. So the J object can be initialized declaratively in one expression. That, by the way, leads to a cascading effect of simplification. We don't need the temporary variable anymore, and now we have this pattern with just a single return statement, so in fact, we can turn the whole body into an expression, just like you saw a little bit earlier. [Null-conditional operators] Let's also look at a method to turn JSON back into point objects. The logic to actually do that is just one line of code. The bulk of the method, though, is taking out by checking before you do that, that you actually can do it, and most of that checking is about checking for null. First, we check that JSON itself is not null before we index into it. Then we check twice here that the result of indexing isn't null before we access its type property. Null conditional operators are about making all this null checking here fade into the background. Let's first look at those innermost null checks to get to the type property. We've now removed the explicit null checks and instead made use of this new question dot operator. It works like this—if the left-hand side is null, the whole thing is just null. If the left-hand side is not null, then we can do the dot, and that becomes the result. If null, then null. If not, then dot. You'll sometimes hear people refer to the question dot as the Elvis operator. If you look at it and you can see why, it's like two eyes with a swoop of hair on top, like Elvis. Meanwhile, we still have that initial null check to see if we can index, but indexing can be done in a null-conditional way, too. You just insert a question mark In front of the square brackets, and now they only happen if the receiver is not null. Now the whole if condition just expresses your core intent, which is, if JSON has x's and y's with integer types, then do the following. The essence stands out. The rest fades into the background. A great use of the null-conditional dot operator is for triggering events. Today, you trigger an event like this, except the delegate could be null, of course. So you first have to check for that, but this way of checking isn't threat-safe— someone might unsubscribe the last event handler just after you checked. So now it's still null when you get to the dot. Instead, you need to first copy the delegate reference to local before you check and trigger, and now it's gotten really unwieldy. All you wanted to do was trigger an event. With a null-propagating operator, this is simply not a problem anymore. You can just conditionally call the invoke method on the delegate. The effect is that the delegate will be called only if it's not null. So I expect this to become a common pattern in C# code. [The nameof operator] Quite often, you need to get the name of a program element as a string, like with point here. The problem with that is, if you rename point with a refactoring, for instance, you're likely to forget changing the string, which is now out of sync. The nameof operator gets you that string, but it knows what program element you're talking about and ensures that it actually exists. So if you do rename it, the string changes, too. [Exception filters] We have made a few improvements around catch and finally clauses. Our sister languages—Visual Basic, F#— they both allow a catch block to filter its exceptions before catching them. Now C# allows it, too. This is better than catching and rethrowing, because when you rethrow an exception, you lose the information about where it originally occurred. It also just looks better, right? [Await in catch and finally] You can now have await expressions in catch and finally blocks. This was really just an implementation challenge, shall we say? And we've now figured out an efficient solution to it. So lifting this restriction should be welcome news, . It's a common enough scenario with more and more APIs being Async, so why wouldn't you want to call them in catch and finally blocks? And the workarounds that you have to use today, they're pretty nasty. [Learn more at github.com/dotnet/roslyn] I hope you're as excited as I am to get to clean up your code with C# 6.

My Europe adventures could've just as easily been known as "A Tale of Two Bags" since I quite literally brought just two very hardworking and very chic bags for the whole trip: a trusty brown leather bag and my beautiful One Fated Knight woven tote, which was easily my most-worn bag the entire trip. Even with my camera, laptop, Oyster card, metro passes, baguette or dozens of different types of currency rattling around in it at any given time, it saw me from Dublin to Lisbon to Paris and more in effortless style and ease (seriously, this bag fits my life and more).
I'm always careful to team up with brands I truly love for giveaways, but given the fact that I not only love this bag, but am very emotionally attached to it too after spending a whole two months basically toting around nothing but it, I'm really so excited to be teaming up with the amazing Vancouver-based label to give away the Queen bag (valued at over $400) pictured in this post for one of you, just in time for the holidays! Since the remainder of this post is a bit more heavy-photo than usual, you can enter right below if you want to cut to the chase, but trust me – you'll want to click through to get all the snaps! This was a particularly beautiful day exploring Paris, one I'll always remember.
Read the full travel diary here and if you're so inclined, you can get all the fine print on the contest at the bottom of this post!
My mum's best friend (my "Auntie," as we grew up calling her) has the loveliest daughter who spent a couple days showing me around the city. So nice having a local to take me around, and it was just a bonus that she's such an incredible photographer (and she's a pastry chef to boot)! We wandered around Sacré-Cœur, had lunch on Montmartre, stopped by the Moulin Rouge, grabbed one of the best baguettes in town (purportedly) and then just like that, at the end of this already-magical day the heavy mist that had blanketed the city earlier lifted and we got the most beautiful golden hour glow I've ever seen, a golden hour you could really only experience in Paris. There's something so indescribably special about the light in Paris – it's easy to understand how artists, writers, musicians and other creatives have been inspired by the city for centuries when you see the silvery greys, hazy golds and tonal beiges in person. It's really and truly magical, but the magic is really in its subtleties, the slight variations that kind of shimmer in and out of one another. I've never seen anything like it anywhere else in the world, and it was just one of the many reasons I'm completely in love with the city.
My One Fated Knight bag was the perfect vessel for the day and for the city, holding my camera, my book (gotta keep entertained on the continuously plagued RER line!) and most importantly, my baguette! It was beyond, of course (just like everything is in Paris). And not only did the bag manage everything with ease, but it blended seamlessly style-wise with the city – chic, timeless, elegant, but with a slightly unique twist!
I'm so excited to give one of you the same bag – the contest runs until December 21st at 11:59PM PST and is open to Canadian and US residents only. Good luck!
Love the scarf, the look, the photos, Paris! 🙂 Everything!
I love how simple this outfit is, and how lovely! Those boots are absolute perfection.
Fabulous bag and scarf, you're such a beauty!!
So gorgeous! All of your Europe photos have been stunning!
I entered with facebook, twitter @nomsscom, instagram @instanomss, pinterest @instanoms…. hope i win please!
Dear Alex, I must say I am disappointed that I've only just found you and I am nearing so close to the ending of this giveaway. The bag is absolutely gorgeous and I will be honored to say I have received it from you, the photos are amazing and did I mention the gloriousness of the bag?
I love the Queen bag!!! It's a most coveted and totally gorgeous bag that I would love to win for my daughter.Thank you so very much for this awesome opportunity.Your photos look stunning and I love that scarf too.

Fred Couples to play in Grand Blanc; Ally Challenge field finalized
A roster of 78 players is in the field for the Champions Tour's debut in Grand Blanc, including nine of the top 10 players in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. Four more players will be added via Tuesday qualifying.

Long a favorite of golf fanatics, Fred Couples has joined the field for next week's inaugural Ally Challenge at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club in Grand Blanc.
The Ally Challenge made the official announcement Friday, shortly before releasing the full field — with the exception of next week's four Tuesday qualifiers.
A roster of 78 players is in the field for the Champions Tour's debut in Grand Blanc, including nine of the top 10 players in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. The list includes the likes of Darren Clarke, John Daly, Chris DiMarco, Jay Haas, Lee Janzen, Bernhard Langer, Tom Lehman, Rocco Mediate, Colin Montgomerie, Mark O'Meara, Kenny Perry, Vijay Singh and David Toms.
It's among the most star-studded fields on the 50-and-older tour this year, a nod to the respect so many of the players have for Warwick Hills, long home to the PGA Tour's Buick Open.

Also in the field is Lake Orion's Tom Gillis, a Champions Tour rookie who finished tied for third in both starts on the tour, earning $250,000. The longtime PGA Tour player received a sponsor's exemption into the field.
Grandville's Tom Werkmeister, another Champions Tour rookie who has qualified for the past two tournaments, didn't receive a sponsor's exemption into the Ally despite his local connections, so he will attempt to qualify Tuesday.
Despite playing a limited Champions Tour schedule, it's been known for quite some time that Couples, 58, planned to play in the Ally Challenge; it was made official Friday. He won 15 times on the PGA Tour, including the 1992 Masters — one of his 10 top-10 finishes at Augusta. He's won 13 times on the Champions Tour.
The Ally Challenge is Sept. 14-16, and the purse is $2 million.

His momma don't like me.
But she really doesn't like anyone. Really, it's nothing new, certainly not to me. As of February 14th, my husband and I have been together 24 years. My mother-in-law has not liked me since 1992.
When we first met, he was in a very dysfunctional relationship. His mom told me that she and his dad had been praying for someone to come along and change his mind about that relationship. I can imagine the look on my face when she was saying this. **smile**sweetly tilts head** She proceeds to say, "but we had hoped it would be a male friend or a pastor. Not another woman." I guess that should be a lesson in being careful what we pray for.
It has never been healthy for us to go visit. Even before we were married there were snide remarks and inappropriate actions. I've heard stories of mother-in-laws who were hateful because they felt like the wife "stole" their little boy. Thankfully, it's not like that. It's more about attention. But what she does is just crazy stuff. Hateful stuff.

Q: Calculating Year-Over-Year Change and Other Summaries in {gt} Tables [r] I am creating summary tables for my data using the gt package.
Ultimately, I need three tables:

*

*Values for groups (rows) by year (columns)

*Percentage change over previous year (column[n] / column[n-1] - 1)

*Cell's value as a percentage of total value for the year (all rows)

I have no issues with the first table.
    library(gt)

    # data for three groups over two years
    d <- data.frame(
      group = c("sg1","sg2","sg3","sg1","sg2","sg3","sg1","sg2","sg3"),
      year = c(2020L,2020L,2020L, 2019L, 2019L,2019L, 2018L, 2018L,2018L),
      value = c(1234, 4321, 12345, 1432, 4212, 13214, 1332, 4112, 13114)
    )

    #convert the data to a wide format with years as columns
    d.wide <- reshape(d[order(d$year, decreasing = FALSE),],
              varying = list(as.character(2018:2020)),
              idvar = "group",
              timevar = "year",
              direction = "wide")

    # construct the gt
    my.gt <- gt(data = d.wide, rowname_col = "group") %>%
      tab_row_group(
        group = "Row Group A",
        rows = c("sg1","sg2","sg3")
      ) %>%
      fmt_number(
        decimals = 0,
        sep_mark = ",",
        use_seps = TRUE,
        columns = names(d.wide)
      ) %>%
      summary_rows(
        groups = TRUE,
        columns = names(d.wide),
        fns = c("Group Total" = "sum"),
        decimals = 0
      )

The code above creates the following table:

This is a simplified but accurate illustration of what I am looking for. In the real data, there will be several row groups and several year columns. My solution needs to be flexible to accommodate a varying number of columns (i.e., hardcoding for a fixed number of years is not an ideal solution).
Where I am getting stuck is on Tables 2 and 3 which are calculated.  I can create a version of d that contains calculated values for each of the group/year values (and to clarify, this question is not asking how to calculate these in a data.frame); however, I would like the summary_rows (e.g. "Group Total") to also show the calculations for the tab_row_group (e.g. all rows within "Row Group A").
For Table 2 (percentage change over the previous year), the table would look like this (Note the omission of 2018 because no previous year exited to compare to.):

The gt functionality allows you to use a user-defined function for the summary rows.
  summary_rows(
    ...
    fns = c("Group Total" = [USER FUNCTION]),
    ...
  )

But I cannot figure out how that might interact with an adjacent column's data, nor what that data might be if the table uses a data.frame containing pre-calculated percentages.
Finally: other than liking the feel and appearance of gt while creating Table 1, and the two days I've spent familiarizing myself with the package, I am open to other solutions.
My caveat to that is the exhibit will be exported to MS Word and converted to a pdf. My preference is a vector output (svg) or (as in my current gt_table workflow) html that may be pasted into the Word document. I know high-resolution bitmaps (i.e., png, jpeg, etc.) should in theory be sufficient quality; however, I have had frustrating experiences with bitmaps that include text in the past (fine in Word, but lost resolution when converting to pdf). While I initially considered html to be a workaround, I actually find I like the format because it gives me the flexibility to make minor tweaks to formats in the report if necessary.
Thanks in advance.

Home News Adventist students help restore Batuna landmark
Adventist students help restore Batuna landmark
By Clinton Jackson/Jarrod Cherry -
Students and staff in front of the Motusu church they helped to restore.
Students from Brisbane Adventist College (Qld) recently completed the external restoration of the church at Batuna, Solomon Islands. The team of 16 students and seven teachers travelled to the Marovo Lagoon as a Sonship Action Team to paint the exterior of the church building.
The Motusu church sits on top of a peninsula and is the most visible building when approaching Batuna from either side. Dedicated on June 7, 1934 (Adventist Record, August 6, 1934), this church played an important role in the spread of Adventist Christianity throughout Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
"It was a real privilege to be trusted with this historic landmark," said trip leader and BAC teacher Clinton Jackson. "It is humbling to think of the sacrifices made by all the people who originally built this church."
The team running a children's program.
The team also visited several surrounding villages where they ran children's programs featuring action songs, a puppet show and a drama about Moses delivered in Solomon Island Pijin.
"We received such friendly welcomes everywhere we went," said college captain Ashlon Ghazali. "Everyone always seemed to be smiling and waving and greeting you. It was very hard to leave behind all the friends I made."
The trip was particularly meaningful for Ashlon, whose great-grandparents Frank and Ida Aveling managed the saw mill at Batuna after the close of World War II.
Playing with some local children.
All 23 team members returned to Australia feeling incredibly blessed to be able to experience Solomon Islands culture and to make so many wonderful connections with the people they met. A special connection was formed with Batuna Adventist Vocational School deputy principal and chaplain, John Pikacha, who kindly took one of the teams nightly worships.
"The team's mission was highly appreciated by the surrounding communities, the physical appearance of the church was the talk of the town for days after the team left, even up to now," said Mr Pikacha, describing the impact of the team. "The missionary spirit the team possessed and their willingness to help out, was an expected blessing for our church and the community at large, and the the team left behind a legacy that will never be be able to be eradicated in the memory of our people."

Search for Michael Gill, 70yo missing in Pilbara, continues after Toyota found south of Newman
ABC Pilbara
/ By Verity Gorman and Amelia Searson

abc.net.au/news/search-for-michael-gill-70yo-missing-in-pilbara-continues/101173046
Police in northern Western Australia have grave concerns for the welfare of a missing 70-year-old man feared lost in Pilbara bushland after abandoning his car.
Police say the search will focus on the area where Michael Gill's vehicle was found
They are appealing for anyone who may have seen the 70-year-old to come forward
Police say the search will continue until Mr Gill is found, but concerns are growing as time passes
Michael Gill was driving to Mandurah from his home in South Hedland on Tuesday, June 14, when he told family he had run out of fuel and thought he was near Newman Airport.
Mr Gill was last seen walking along the Great Northern Highway, about 30 kilometres north of the Kumarina Roadhouse, on Friday morning.
On Saturday his phone was in range of the Collier Range National Park, about 140km south of Newman.
Superintendent Massam said police think Mr Gill may have become disorientated.
"Members of the public did give Mr Gill some water, we're concerned that he's walked back into the bush and hence we've commenced a land search in that area at the moment," he said.
"What is also another option is that a member of the public has picked up Mr Gill and driven him into either Newman or south to Meekatharra or maybe even to his destination which is down to Mandurah."
Superintendent Kim Massam has urged anyone who may have collected Mr Gill from the side of the road to contact police immediately.
"We are desperate to find out so that we can continue our searches for him in the right locations," he said.
Mr Gill's car, a grey Toyota Kluger with registration 1GCY949, was found in bushland 100km south of Newman yesterday.
Mr Gill is described as being about 170 centimetres tall with grey balding hair, fair skin and blue-green eyes.
Pilbara Superintendent Kim Massam says police are seriously concerned about Mr Gill. (ABC Pilbara: Amelia Searson)
Superintendent Massam said concerns for Mr Gill's welfare were growing by the hour.
"At the same time, I'm hoping and praying that Mr Gill has been collected by a member of the public and that if they have found him, that they call us or they move him to a safe location," he said.
"But if he stays in that area, it's rough terrain.
"It's harsh — it's the Pilbara desert and ultimately we hold grave concerns."
Police, emergency services and air assets, including the Australian Maritime Safety Authority jet, are continuing with the search.
Superintendent Massam said the search would centre around Mr Gill's vehicle.
"The last point that we can definitely confirm Mr Gill's location was near that motor vehicle, so we'll search a perimeter around that," he said.
Superintendent Massam told the ABC the search would continue until Mr Gill was found.
"Hopefully we find him safely and rapidly," he said.
"Clearly we're very concerned about people, how long they stay in the bush without food and water, but at this point we are very much committed to conducting the most thorough search."
Superintendent Massam said there was no suspicion of foul play.

A man suffered life-threatening injuries after jumping three stories to escape a fire inside the old Seagram's building in Dundalk on Saturday night, Baltimore County fire officials said.
Lt. Jay Ringgold, a fire department spokesman, said the man called 911 about 9:30 p.m. to report the fire and said he was in fear of his life.
The fire, at the former distillery buildings in the 7100 block of Sollers Point Road, was not under control until about 1:30 a.m. Sunday and escalated to three alarms, Ringgold said. Some embers spread to roofs on buildings elsewhere, but those blazes were extinguished.
The man was taken to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in serious condition, and no update on his condition was available Sunday.
Part of the roof and interior of the building collapsed, Ringgold said. Several significant fires have been reported in the old Seagram's buildings, which are vacant, in the past few years.
The distillery, which was converted to make other forms of alcohol during the two World Wars, has been considered for revitalization efforts by county officials with plans that it might be used for condominiums or stores.
It's unclear what the man was doing inside the building at the time of the fire, and the cause of the blaze is under investigation, Ringgold said.

Iconic rocker Tom Petty, known for such hits as 'Free Fallin" and 'Refugee' has died after suffering cardiac arrest in his Malibu, California home. Lisa Bernhard reports.
(Reuters) – The music world mourning the loss of iconic singer-songwriter Tom Petty.
The shaggy-haired rocker and prolific hit-maker dying after being taken off life support at a Los Angeles hospital.
Petty was found unconscious and not breathing at his Malibu home Sunday night after suffering cardiac arrest.
Petty's earthy, everyman voice and chiming guitars popular for some four decades….
Early hits with band the Heartbreakers include 'Breakdown' and 'American Girl,' followed radio staples 'Refugee' and 'Don't Do Me Like That.'
SOUND BITE, DIRECTOR PETER BOGDONOVITCH: 'He's the epitome of cool. When you say, 'What does the word cool mean,' there's a picture of Tom in the dictionary.'
Petty's laid-back style and cool façade also weaving seamlessly with a number of other legendary performers… collaborating with Stevie Nicks on the smash hit 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' and forming the Traveling Wilburys super group with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne.
Petty also flying solo, producing arguably his most famous hit with 'Free Fallin,' and continuing to sing of outcasts and love on follow-up hits 'Wildflowers' and 'You Don't Know How it Feels.'
Petty and the Heartbreakers had just concluded an extensive 40th anniversary tour last Monday… the singer telling Rolling Stone magazine it would likely be his last big stretch on the road, saying, 'I have a granddaughter now I'd like to see as much as I can.'
Tom Petty was 66.

After months of work alongside the Met team as a consultant on the 'Punk: Chaos to Couture' exhibition, Nick Knight headed to New York for the opening gala. Using his favourite iPhone app Instagram, Knight captured the mood of the event by shooting everything from Karlie Kloss in a glittering Louis Vuitton gown to the Met's newly installed chandelier made of 25,000 razor blades.

Apple's iPhone 5S could have a fingerprint scanner – and we want that why?
Everybody loves a new iPhone. Either you love it because you're excited about the device; or you love it because you're secretly an Android fanboy that's already had [INSERT RANDOM FEATURE] for years, and you can't wait to gloat about it to all the suckers who just bought into the Cult of Cupertino. If rumors are true – and this time, they probably are – Apple haters will have a big example to add to the list: A fingerprint scanner.
Talk of an iPhone fingerprint scanner has been around since Apple placed a bid for mobile fingerprint recognition company AuthenTec last July. And last week, the U.S Patent Office published a patent assigned to Apple that pours more water onto the rumor mill. If that isn't enough proof, what about this? London-based iOS app developer Hamza Sood revealed in a tweet on Monday that the latest developer build of iOS 7 (beta 4) contains language that explicitly mentions the futuristic tech. We have as much confirmation as we're going to get until Tim Cook shows off the finger-scanning iPhone later this year.
Unless Apple is majorly screwing with everyone, the fingerprint scanner rumor has been confirmed.
The scanner will apparently be built into the Home button, or possibly the iPhone's screen (based on the aforementioned patent). Apple watchers believe the technology will be used primarily for unlocking the phone. But it could be used for much more: secure NFC payments (the iPhone 5S is expected to finally get NFC), password replacement, or simply to differentiate between different users, allowing parents to easily cordon off profiles for their kids.
The fingerprint feature is apparently such a big deal that many expect it to be the iPhone 5S's Siri – its killer selling point. And I'd be lying if I said I have no interest in trying out whatever Apple may have up its sleeve. In fact, I'd bet it's awesome. But before we lather ourselves up with excitement over some biometric scanning, let's put on our tin foil hats and take a moment to consider how this could all go wrong, from believable problems to batshit crazy nightmares.
The first question security researchers will likely have is, how will Apple store users' fingerprints? Ideally, the prints would be stored locally on the device rather than in the cloud. While it's possible that hackers could snag this sensitive biometric data no matter what – iOS is secure, but everything is hackable – such a dire outcome is less likely if it is never transferred over a network connection. However, if the fingerprint scanner is linked to NFC payments or external passwords, it's entirely possible that a network connection will be necessary, at least for some key functions.
Add in the fact that people have been tricking fingerprint scanners for years with techniques so basic that you can only laugh at them, and the bolstered security the technology may provide seems less reassuring. For example, the Mythbusters were able to dupe a fingerprint scanner with only a photocopy of a fingerprint. And researchers in 2005 found that 90 percent of fingerprint scanners can be fooled with a Play-Doh imprint of a person's finger. Here's hoping that Apple and AuthenTec have worked out those kinks.
The craziest, and worst, potential problem of them all: Thieves may start cutting off people's fingers.
One assumes Apple's engineers have already considered these problems. But there is always plenty of room for error when taking a complex new feature and putting it in the hands of millions of people. For this reason alone, I would wait until at least a few iterations of iOS 7 come out to fix whatever inevitable problems plague Apple's nifty fingerprint system at launch.
The second issue is usability. I fully realize that many laptops already pack fingerprint scanners. And Motorola introduced the technology into the smartphone space with its Atrix handset-laptop combo. But those who use fingerprint scanners on a daily basis will tell you how often they simply don't work. And when was the last time you heard of someone using an Atrix? Exactly. Throw in the fact that we'll be using the iPhone 5S on the go – while carrying coffee, eating buttery popcorn, or wearing gloves – and the fingerprint scanner might just turn into the least user-friendly part of the device. But there's more.
As much as I hate to bring it up, it would be ignorant to not at least mention that Apple is one of the various companies that comply with the NSA's PRISM data collection program. While it may be impossible for the spy agency to get its mitts on our fingerprints, the NSA would probably lust at the opportunity. (It isn't building a $2 billion data center to store old Seinfeld reruns, you know.) Maybe you're okay with that; maybe you're not. Regardless, it's something to consider before blindly uploading one of your key bits of personal information into a corporation's computer system – especially one with legal obligations to the United States government.
And finally, the craziest, and worst, potential problem of them all: Thieves may start cutting off people's fingers.
Yes, it sounds like I've lost my mind. But these things do happen. In Malaysia, for example. Cell phone theft is such a big problem that lawmakers have begun pleading with companies to make stealing smartphones a less profitable business. Would a fingerprint lock help? Perhaps – but it could also lead to having your freakin' finger cut off.
Maybe finger chopping is an unlikely outcome. Considering all these possible pitfalls though, I remain firmly on the fence with this whole fingerprint scanning idea. I'll keep my hands to myself, thank you.

In these difficult times, many of your financial concerns can be resolved with the best Harvey, Louisiana car title loans available from USACarTitleLoans.com.

For many individuals, the car is a means of transport to and from work, making it indispensable to day-to-day life – with us, you can still use your car during the loan duration. After that, you will be contacted by one of our customer service agents, who can answer any questions you may still have about the loan, including details about the repayment plan, the location of loan offices nearest you, and so on. You will be all set to receive your money in as little as a few hours from the completion of your application form, and even get a pre-approval message via text and e-mail, as well as a call from one of hour agents (giving you more information about your loan, the repayment plan, and the different locations of loan offices near you).

to always be there for me, even if it's not in physical presence.
To keep his word. Cuddle w/ me – he's the biggest cuddler – love that! Always look out for me.
to continue fulfilling the vows he made to me on our wedding day.
to always love God more than me.
To take care of me and love me for who I am, regardless od circumstances.


Aroma is ok jut not much agave. The taste is complex and has a lot going on and is good. The finish is ok.
Nose: Butterscotch, vanilla, dark fresh fruit, cinnamon, cloves and an herbal note. Floral nuances. Flavor: Baking spices, anise, honey, agave, vanilla and light pepper. Round finish medium long, with enough pepper heat to balance the sweet and floral notes.
Bought this for $19 at Hi-Time Wine Cellars, which may be the deal of the century. It has a creamy smooth vanilla aroma, and a well-balanced full and slightly sweet finish. This is a surprisingly solid añejo.
It's not bad, but too much wood and too little agave for my taste.
A simply amazing anejo from a great lesser known line full of rich flavors and a wonderful finish.

Biografia
Viene ordinato sacerdote il 30 marzo 1985 per la diocesi di Casale Monferrato e consegue la laurea in Diritto Canonico.

Entrato al servizio della Santa Sede il 1º luglio 1989, presta successivamente la propria opera nelle nunziature apostoliche di Italia (1989-1991), Egitto (1991-1994), Argentina (1994-1999), Croazia (1999-2002) Spagna ed Andorra (2002-2009).

Il 12 gennaio 2009 papa Benedetto XVI lo nomina nunzio apostolico in Honduras al posto dell'arcivescovo Antonio Arcari, trasferito in Mozambico. Contestualmente lo eleva alla sede titolare di Falerone, con dignità di arcivescovo.

Riceve la consacrazione episcopale nel duomo di Casale Monferrato per l'imposizione delle mani del cardinale Tarcisio Bertone.

In qualità di nunzio apostolico è decano del corpo diplomatico in Honduras.

Il 12 luglio 2014 papa Francesco lo nomina nunzio apostolico in Etiopia, il 10 settembre nunzio apostolico a Gibuti e delegato apostolico in Somalia e il 13 ottobre rappresentante speciale presso l'Unione Africana.

Il 4 febbraio 2019 lo stesso papa lo nomina nunzio apostolico in Uganda.

Il 20 novembre 2022, a Kalongo in Uganda, presiede, come legato di papa Francesco, la celebrazione di beatificazione del medico, presbitero e missionario italiano, padre Giuseppe Ambrosoli.

Crisi istituzionale honduregna

Dopo il golpe militare che a giugno del 2009 portò all'esilio il presidente uscente Manuel Zelaya, sostituito da quello designato dal Congresso, Roberto Micheletti, il nunzio apostolico ha esortato le parti a nome del Pontefice, a trovare una soluzione pacifica nell'interesse del popolo. La Chiesa cattolica honduregna ha esortato al dialogo, differenziando la propria posizione da quella della comunità internazionale, e il nunzio e il primate hanno chiesto a Zelaya di recedere dal proposito di tentare l'ingresso nel Paese e rivendicarne la guida, ed evitare così il bagno di sangue, e al tempo stesso sollecitando chiarimenti all'esercito riguardo all'espulsione del presidente, decretata in contrasto con la Costituzione.

Over the next few posts I'll be highlighting how to run Windows Server 2016, Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) nested within a VMware vSphere environment. Storage Spaces Direct, Microsoft's hyper-converged offering is a portion of the Windows Server 2016 offering. This post highlights process of enabling Hyper-V when WS2016 is deployed in the Guest VM.
Now first, the topic of nested virtualization is very common inside of lab environments. Nested virtualization offers many benefits like testing out different features, functionality and offers a great way of seeing how things work. In fact Windows Server 2016 Hyper-v now allows you to deploy Hyper-V / vSphere inside of Hyper-V and it's supported! So, I have actually started deploying labs locally on my Windows 10 laptop with the Hyper-V role enabled. This works out really well because many of the shows etc, that I present at regularly have horrible internet connections. Having the labs locally makes things run a lot smoother and no longer be at the mercy of the shows internet connection.
For this lab I will be using production quality servers and NOT my Windows 10 laptop 🙂 In my lab environment I have 3 x Dell R630 Servers running vSphere 6.0.0.3620759 where each of my hosts have 32GB RAM. Its a decent setup, that allows me to do much of what I need to do for my day job.
If you've ever tried to enable the Hyper-V role inside of a Windows Guest VM within you've likely seen this error message.
Q: So how do we fix this?
A.: Great question! It's quite simple actually.
As you likely recall and can find this well documented, in previous versions of vSphere and Windows Server you had to use the C# client, edit the settings of the VM you wish to enable Hyper-V on and then mess around with the CPU settings and then manually edit the .VMX file to update the Windows OS Version. Well, no harming of any VMX files was done in the making of this post.
The pre-requisite of this is to download the Windows Server 2016 Media off of either MSDN or the TechNet Evaluation Center.
That is all, we'll need 4 of these VMs for our S2D Deployment so get busy!
