Thank you for your interest in helping with this year's Camp Caring. The camp is being held on Saturday, August 3rd @ 9:00am -5:00pm. Location will be at 187 Camp Mountaineer Rd Morgantown, WV 26508.
Criminal Check – Because of the intimate nature of our work in the community, WV Caring conducts a criminal history check for all volunteers and paid staff. Please complete the last page (Authorization and Release for the Procurement of a Consumer and/or Investigative Consumer Report) and return this form with your application. Do not send in a check with this form; WV Caring pays all fees. The purpose of this form is to allow us to conduct a criminal history check. West Virginia does not check consumer information.
Training – Volunteer training, provided by experienced grief professionals, is mandatory for all camp volunteers. Training in the grief process and communication skills prepares you to offer support to those who attend Camp Caring. You will also receive important information regarding camp and the camp experience. Training dates will be set based on best availability for the most volunteers. Accommodations can be made as determined by Care Caring Director for those who are unable to attend training dates.
Transportation – We encourage all volunteers to drive themselves to camp or get together.


Within migration processes, inhabitant's actions link several places together. By circulating, moving and returning they produce the urban space. This process is understood as "the translocal use of the urban" and refers to its generative aspect. The "urban in use" has its base in the field of practices, namely the discovery and reinterpretation of scopes.
Having as background the Eastern European labor migration, the interest in a link between migration and urban development and the focus on places of origin, this thesis deals with the question of how the urban is constituted in use. For this, I take the Romanian small town Comănești and bring the everyday life of its citizens to the forefront. Six practices – recruiting, emigrating, returning, waiting, establishing businesses and rebuilding – are presented in detail and analysed by means of three central theses: 1) Absence is the precondition for both moving and returning; 2) Being mobile for some means waiting for others; 3) The manifold connections speak against shrinking. In a synopsis, the work argues that by their actions, actors expand, reorganize and link urban spaces. By doing so they generate multiple connections. Therefore, their practices translate into the constitution of the city.
Complementary to the inhabitants, the book also considers the urban planning activity of Comănești. During this process, it recognizes their practices also as part of the urban production. In this context and opposite to the present planning work, I call for the re-position of the actors and the mobility as a starting point. Furthermore, I propose the recognition of non-controllability and disorder and therefore pose the question of an adequate planning action.

Q: array of double variable showing NaN as output while calculating information gain I've been trying to make a program in Java to calculate information gain for an attribute, given it's distinct values and all other required values.
Following is my program
package dwdmp5;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

/**
 *
 * @author Gaurav
 */
public class Dwdmp5 {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

        double P,N,IGtotal;
        System.out.println("How many total P values?");
        P = Double.parseDouble(br.readLine());
        System.out.println("How many total N values?");
        N = Double.parseDouble(br.readLine());
        IGtotal = ((-1)*(P/(P+N))*((Math.log(P/(P+N)))/Math.log(2))) + ((-1)*(N/(P+N))*((Math.log(N/(P+N)))/Math.log(2)));
        System.out.println("Overall Information gain = "+IGtotal);
        int numV;
        System.out.println("How many distinct values of an attribute?");
        numV = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
        double [] p = new double[numV];
        double [] n = new double[numV];
        double [] ig = new double[numV];
        int i,temp=0;
        System.out.println("Enter pi for all attributes");
        for(i=0;i<numV;i++)
            p[i] = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
        System.out.println("Enter ni for all attributes");
        for(i=0;i<numV;i++)
            n[i] = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
        System.out.println("Attribute\tpi\tni\tI(pi,ni)");
        for(i=0;i<numV;i++)
        { temp = i;
         ig[i] = ((-1)*(p[i]/(p[i]+n[i]))*((Math.log(p[i]/(p[i]+n[i])))/Math.log(2))) + ((-1)*(n[i]/(p[i]+n[i]))*((Math.log(n[i]/(p[i]+n[i])))/Math.log(2)));

         System.out.println("attrib"+(temp+1)+"\t\t"+p[i]+"\t\t"+n[i]+"\t\t"+ig[i]);
        }

    }

}

It's supposed to calculate the individual information gains and display them in tabular format. But this is the output i'm getting in case when I enter one of the values of pi or ni as 0
run:
How many total P values?
9
How many total N values?
5
Overall Information gain = 0.9402859586706309
How many distinct values of an attribute?
3
Enter pi for all attributes
2
4
3
Enter ni for all attributes
3
0
2
Attribute   pi  ni  I(pi,ni)
attrib1     2.0     3.0     0.9709505944546686
attrib2     4.0     0.0     NaN
attrib3     3.0     2.0     0.9709505944546686
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 17 seconds)

The program doesn't show any error. The same values when calculated using a scientific calculator show correct answers. Please help me solve this issue.

A: The JLS (Java Language Specification) states:

A floating-point operation that has no mathematically definite result produces NaN.
All numeric operations with NaN as an operand produce NaN as a result.

Now when you read the JavaDoc on Math.log(double)
you'll see this:

If the argument is positive zero or negative zero, then the result is negative infinity.

If you have a look at your calculation you'll see that for p = 4 and n = 0 you'll end up with 0.0 * Math.log( 0.0/(4.0 + 0.0) ) => 0.0 * Math.log(0.0) => 0.0 * -Infinity => NaN.
From there the rest of your calculation will yield NaN due to the rules defined by the JLS.
Why is 0.0 * -Infinity not equal to 0? Have a look here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/28940/why-is-infinity-multiplied-by-zero-not-an-easy-zero-answer

On the Transformation Journey, "On Time" is Overrated
Blogs | On the Transformation Journey, "On Time" is Overrated
In 2013, Dell Computer Corporation found itself at a crossroads. Once a market leader in personal computers, consumer preferences were changing—and fast. Suddenly, tablets and smartphones claimed a stronghold in personal computing. At the same time, the company doubted its ability to compete in the server space. A few years later, the company bought data storage firm EMC—a move that "still stands as the largest technology acquisition of all time." It re-debuted on the public market in 2018 as Dell Technologies. And today, the company has earned a spot in the top 20 business transformations from the past 10 years.
Where Dell has succeeded is in reimagining its core—in creating a transformation strategy that transcends products (in this case, personal computers). Instead, Dell opted for a path of constant evolution and advancement in the technology space.
Learning from companies like Dell, we believe continuous improvement means looking past transformation as a set of milestones, products, or initiatives to be implemented "on time" or "on budget." At companies boasting break-through strategic renewals, leaders have tapped into transformation's potential as a catalyzing force that moves the organization towards its shared vision. It's an ongoing journey. At its heart, this journey requires employees' buy-in and adoption to move productively through change and embrace constant refinement.
Nurturing employees' appetite to embrace change and continuously improve requires a solid foundation of transformation capability. We use this term to describe the skills, processes, technology, and data that help an organization accelerate its transformation efforts. When we say "acceleration," it's not only about accelerating implementation, but also accelerating value realization. Much like when someone becomes excited about exercising versus solely going through the motions, results move forward apace. There is both a speed and momentum component of acceleration that ensures the transformation outcomes are tied to objectives—whether it's increased physical strength or a digital initiative that upends legacy ways of working. In other words, transformation capability shrinks the gap between strategy and execution.
People are at the heart of transformation capability
Transformation capability goes beyond orchestrating a set of projects or initiatives. It is about reshaping the organization's mindset to embrace change, seek transformational opportunities, and reimagine the possibilities. Our research shows that organizational readiness (31 percent) and employee skillsets (27 percent) are among the top three transformation capability obstacles.[1] In other words, failing to account for people matters is sure to undercut outcomes. Conversely, when employees are prepared to change, embrace a collective mindset, and understand their role within a transformation, efforts are poised for success.
When governed by a Transformation Value Office (TVO), your organization will build capability and transform more seamlessly through its people. Because the skills required to manage transformation at scale exceed those needed to manage standalone projects or programs (e.g., via a PMO), the TVO drives complex initiatives in the direction of the organization's overarching strategic vision. In other words, it is a critical link between the executive vision and the work that gets done. While the idea of a transformation governance office is not new (40 percent of organizations with formal transformation governance in place use a Transformation Management Office) [2], we believe that conventional Transformation Management Offices fail to maximize the creation of organizational capability, which hampers ongoing value creation. The TVO is designed to address this limitation.
Enabled by a TVO, transformation capability shows up at every level of the organization. Executives need to sponsor and champion change to the organization, establish priority among initiatives, and create space for the organization to transform. In our research, leadership direction ranks as the top factor enabling companies to transform, followed by a continuous improvement mindset.[3] From there, managers and supervisors need to understand their role and help employees grow through change. Finally, employees should feel empowered to take charge of change, seek answers, and champion continuous improvement in helping to drive the change forward. With strengthened transformation capability, employees can more quickly adapt and move onto another critical initiative.
To build transformation capability through the TVO, a Change Management Office offers critical operational support and helps employees move seamlessly through change. The Change Management Office ensures that everyone speaks the same language and is supported by standard methodologies and tools. From there, you can take a structured approach to the people side of complex, transformational change for sustainable, successful outcomes. Building a Change Management Office starts with a few fundamental steps:
Define your community and purpose: This involves establishing or reinvigorating your change management community and conducting a change management maturity assessment. Among the requirements is establishing a guiding change management methodology.
Establish ways of working: Develop a Change Management Office approach for management routines, ways of working, and metrics. In this process, you should consider using change saturation insights to inform your approach so you can understand the level of change happening across your organization and impacting your employees. Change Pulse monitoring can help you drive informed decision-making around change and transformation planning as you build and implement Change Management Office processes and create a change management playbook.
Engage the workforce: Create and conduct change leadership training and establish a change management community of practitioners to ensure that you're bringing employees along the transformation journey.
It's time to look past the criteria of "on time" and "on budget" alone to evaluate transformation outcomes. To achieve groundbreaking success and reimagination, you must put continuous evolution at the center through an intentional focus on transformation capability. This capability is powered by employees who embrace change, seek transformational opportunities, and reimagine the possibilities.

Seminoles navigate further postponements
Ben Meyerson
Florida State men's basketball will for the second time this season postpone three games due to the ever-present threat of COVID-19.
Monday, the ACC announced that Florida State would be ending their four-game road stretch early.
"The postponement follows a positive test, subsequent quarantining and contact tracing within the Florida State men's basketball program," the press release stated.
The Seminoles continue to find themselves having to deal with the volatility of this tumultuous season and have played 13 games of the 18 games that they had scheduled to play so far. With how things stand now, FSU has seven regular-season games on the rest of their schedule if no postponed games are rescheduled.
At the beginning of their season the Seminoles had their first game vs. the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs postponed and ultimately rescheduled; this was due to Coronavirus-related issues within the Bulldogs program.
Then in early January the 'Noles postponed and ultimately did not play against Duke, then at Pittsburgh and Syracuse. These postponements stemmed from an initial positive test and subsequent contact tracing within the Seminoles' own program.
After returning, Florida State won five games in a row and shot up to No.16 in the country, before losing this past Sunday 76-65 to Georgia Tech on the road.
With the ACC tournament scheduled for March 9-13 and the NCAA tournament starting March 18, it will be difficult for FSU to make up any of those games.
When you understand the situations of the opponents they were scheduled to face, it puts the idea of the Seminoles being able to reschedule these contests in doubt.
Against Boston College, the 'Noles were scheduled to face an opponent with only nine players, including four scholarship players against a team whose head coach admitted it may not be the best idea for them to play.
For Pittsburgh, that was a previously postponed game (from January) that was ultimately rescheduled and will have to be rescheduled again if they want to play. Also, for the Virginia Tech game, even if the administrations were to find another date to play it would be tough because the two already have another game scheduled for the season.
This all comes at a time when there have been questions regarding whether or not contending teams should participate in their conference tournaments this season. For teams to participate in the NCAA tournament in March, seven negative tests in a row must be produced for each of the participants.
For some teams, there is a realization that if they are going to be eligible without their conference tournaments, it may be in the best interest of the schools to forgo their currently scheduled conference tournaments and skip ahead to March Madness.
When FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton was asked about the possibility of such cancelations, he said he preferred the more strict testing and regulations and was not deterred by the possibility of a safe ACC Tournament playing out in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The Seminoles' next scheduled game will take place at home on Feb. 13th against Wake Forest.

Did the American Cancer Society Refuse Atheist Money?

Charities that depend on donations and fund-raising to survive have it hard enough in the best of times. But in this depressed economy, it must be more difficult than ever. The obvious conclusion, I would think, is that if you represent a charity and a donor gets in touch offering to give you a lot of money, you don't delay, you don't put obstacles in their path, you don't make excuses: you do everything in your power to make that donation happen!
Unless, it seems, the money is coming from atheists.
This story started in early September, when atheist philanthropist Todd Stiefel, together with the Foundation Beyond Belief, contacted the American Cancer Society with an offer. If the ACS would add Foundation Beyond Belief as a national fundraising team in their Relay for Life program, Stiefel would contribute up to $250,000 to match money raised by local groups working under the auspices of the FBB. That's half a million dollars, and all the ACS had to do in exchange was add Foundation Beyond Belief to the list of national teams on their website.
You can probably guess where this is going.
After an initially enthusiastic response, the ACS suddenly and strangely went silent, and then stonewalled for weeks. Finally, after repeated attempts by Stiefel to contact them, they explained that they couldn't accept his offer because they were discontinuing their national team program for non-corporate partners. Stiefel pointed out in a letter that the FBB is a legally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. No response.
Earlier this month, the plot thickened further. As Greta Christina subsequently reported, after intense pressure to explain their actions, the ACS gave two conflicting answers as to why they turned down the money. First they said that they weren't able to come to an agreement on terms with FBB; then they said that they were phasing out their partnership program with non-profits. As Greta points out, these explanations are mutually exclusive: If you want to explain to someone why you didn't sell your house to them, saying, "We couldn't reach an agreement on the terms of sale" isn't the same as "I decided not to sell after all."
And last week brought the most stunning development yet. In response to people continuing to mention that the ACS' own website still lists their partnerships with other non-profit entities, like the Girl Scouts of America, the ACS hid the page on their website that lists them. This created a massive inconvenience for all the other confused non-profits who suddenly couldn't find their pages on ACS' website, which they use to track donations.
The only way I can think of to explain this bizarre behavior is that someone highly placed in the ACS is dead-set against taking money from atheists. Given the shifting excuses they've offered so far, it's all but certain that we haven't heard the real reason. Do they think it would drive away other donors? Are they bigoted against atheists and don't want to give us an opportunity to do good because it would tell against their own stereotype? We may never know the truth.
Of course, if the ACS doesn't want to take our money, it doesn't harm us. All that happens is that they get some well-deserved bad publicity and some other worthy cause will get the money instead. But still, this is emblematic of how much prejudice still exists against atheists: some people are so convinced that atheists are bad, wicked and immoral, they turn us away even when we try to do something good because they can't tolerate the idea of being associated with us. As Foundation Beyond Belief explains, this isn't the first time they've been turned away by a charity they offered to support.
There's no easy solution to this problem, but in the meantime, we should keep donating, volunteering, and partnering with worthy charities. It's the right thing to do for the sake of this world, and it also helps dispel the senseless prejudices that prevent religious believers from cooperating with us even to do good works. The more visible we can make atheist generosity, the more ignorant and prejudiced those who snub us will come to look.
Postscript: If you want to help, contact the American Cancer Society and ask them why they turned down the FBB's offer. You can also leave a comment on their Facebook page.

Q: how can I avoid nested loop here ? using php I have this loop here and what I want to do is save all of those items from each year and quarter in to my array so i can get the averages per quarter but doing it like this seems way to bad to me. and I cant figure of a wait of doing this
what am doing here is reading from my jason array  the quarter and year and saving it to each element of my 12 element array. but I am pretty sure its bad.
foreach($Jarray as $obj) {
    if ($obj->quarter == "1" and $obj->year == "2015" ) {
        $tarray[0] = $tarray[0] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "2" and $obj->year == "2015" ) {
        $tarray[1] = $tarray[1] + $obj->sales;
    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "3" and $obj->year == "2015" ) {
        $tarray[2] = $tarray[2] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "4" and $obj->year == "2015" ) {
        $tarray[3] = $tarray[3] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "1" and $obj->year == "2016" ) {
        $tarray[4] = $tarray[4] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "2" and $obj->year == "2016" ) {
        $tarray[5] = $tarray[5] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "3" and $obj->year == "2016" ) {
        $tarray[6] = $tarray[6] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "4" and $obj->year == "2016" ) {
        $tarray[7] = $tarray[7] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "1" and $obj->year == "2017" ) {
        $tarray[8] = $tarray[8] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "2" and $obj->year == "2017" ) {
        $tarray[9] = $tarray[9] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "3" and $obj->year == "2017" ) {
        $tarray[10] = $tarray[10] + $obj->sales;

    }
    if ($obj->quarter == "4" and $obj->year == "2017" ) {
        $tarray[11] = $tarray[11] + $obj->sales;

    }
    $count ++;
}

A: The easiest way would be to calculate the offset of the element by using the year and quarter to work it out...
$offset  = (($obj->year-2015)*4)+$obj->quarter-1;

So with 2015 Q 1 - this gives 0, 2017 Q4 gives 11.  So the code comes down to...
$tarray = array_fill(0,12,0);
foreach ( $Jarray as $obj ) {
    $offset  = (($obj->year-2015)*4)+$obj->quarter-1;
    $tarray[$offset] += $obj->sales;
}


Leeward District Service Center's partnership with My Brother's Keeper, a clean and sober/halfway home two year program, continues to flourish. Participants from My Brother's Keeper continue to provide volunteer support to Leeward District Service Center on Ohana Produce food distribution days, while HCAP's Na Lima Hana Employment Core Services (ECS) Program continues to provide My Brother's Keeper participants Job Readiness Training (JRT) and employment opportunities.
Henry is just one example of this beneficial collaboration. Henry had not worked in a few years; he had no resume and had no idea where to begin his job search. After completing JRT, he now had a resume, new-found confidence in his abilities, and networking skills. His networking efforts paid off when a friend of a friend was looking to hire someone new and called him in for an interview. Henry was hired immediately and has since been working as a full time driver and laborer for a dump truck company. The ECS Program has also provided Henry with work clothes and tools to support his new job. Henry has demonstrated remarkable perseverance and work ethic; he was proactive in seeking employment and continues to maintain employment.
As a full-time caretaker for his father, Clarence lives on a limited budget. The only income they have is his father's social security and veteran benefits. Once a year, Clarence applies for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) at HCAP's Central District Service Center to receive assistance on their energy bill. Central District Service Center staff provided Clarence a referral to another HCAP program: the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). Eligible for the WAP services, Clarence completed intake. In addition to the conservation energy education provided during their home energy audit, Clarence and his father also received a hybrid water heater. The highly efficient water heater will help Clarence reduce electricity use and hopefully provide more savings for their household.
This year, HCAP's Leahi District Service Center was able to service over one hundred families with school supplies through the Ready to Learn (RTL) school supply drive operated by Helping Hands Hawaii. The RTL school supply drive is aimed to help families in need by providing basic school supplies for their children's education. One of the parents who benefited from the program was Terry. A Palolo resident, Terry also enrolls her daughter at the Palolo STEM Exploration Center, one of the centers run by HCAP's Hā Initiative: Creative STEM After-School Program.
On Saturday, August 4th, HCAP staff attended Project Reach Hawaii's Back to School Bash at Kahuku High School. Established in 2016, Project Reach Hawaii has partnered up with local social service agencies such as HCAP to improve quality of life for youths, families, and individuals. The event was a great opportunity to raise awareness about bullying and substance abuse. HCAP's Windward District Service Center staff used the event as an opportunity to provide information about HCAP programs and services.
Emcee Jelayne Shelton offered her own personal testimony about how HCAP has impacted her life. She had a great experience as a HCAP Head Start parent. "I loved being a part of the Head Start Ohana!" Jelayne shared with Windward District Service Center staff. "Not only do they provide excellent resources for you and your Ohana, but they also make you feel like you are not alone." Jelayne believes that HCAP is the place to go to if you're looking for a hand up, and not a handout.

This was written as a 12 step study, although I read it straight through. While it had great advice and tips in each chapter for each separate emotion, it almost seems like it would be better to read the chapter that corresponds to the way you feel at the time. It also includes a leader's guide, so you can do it as you see fit.

← I'm Back — hopefully — maybe?
I want to take this opportunity to introduce Christi Corbett's new book ALONG THE WAY HOME. Christi is one of my writing pals and part of our local writing group. I've had the privilege of reading many chapters of Along the Way Home and providing hopefully useful critiques and advice. I'm so excited that I now have the opportunity to read the whole book.
Christi has worked hard getting the characters and settings just right, making sure the historical facts are accurate and making the story a "keep the pages turning" read. Congratulations, Christie!
It took me thirteen years to drag my debut novel over the publication finish line. There were times when I honestly didn't think I'd make it, but what kept me going were the writing friendships I'd developed along the way.
How about you? How do you support the dreams of your friends and family?
Kate Davis is intrigued when her father reveals his dream of starting a horse ranch in OregonTerritory. Settlers out west value a strong woman, and though she manages the financials of her father's mercantile her competence earns her ridicule, not respect, from Virginia's elite society.
I'm addicted to coffee, sticky notes, and the Oxford Comma. I live in a small town in Oregon with my husband and our twins. Our home's location is especially inspiring because the view from the back door is a hill travelers looked upon years ago as they explored the OregonTerritory and beyond.
Along the Way Home is a Sweet Historical Romance. It released in e-book format on June 11, 2013 and will be available in print July of 2013. It is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Astraea Press (my publisher) and several other retailers.

Thanks so much for sharing your blog and your readers with me today!
So glad to share your book with others. I'm happy I've been able to have an insider's look at the book and the process.
Hi Tori, good to see you back – frantically busy just now but look forwared to reading your latest posts.
Thanks, Rosalie, for the welcome back.


Despite having the unfortunate handicap of being blind, a fifth-grader in Japan sent a letter to Nintendo thanking them for making the video game series "Rhythm Heaven," allowing him to play video games.
Fifth-grader Emma Kalcounos said she remains focused doing work at her desk while some of her classmates fidget and look restlessly out the window as summer vacation looms. What's her secret for staying on top of things? For Kalcounos, the answer is simple – she never sits down. Kalcounos is one of the students at Belle Terre Elementary School in Palm Coast, Fla. who has been using the LearnFit, a classroom-friendly, adjustable "standing desk" developed by Ergotron.

HBO Orders Martin Scorsese-Mick Jagger-Terence Winter Rock Drama to Series
Welsey Mann
On how the film reflects the world today: "It goes back to what the concept of America is. Yes, you can have extraordinary opportunities. But is it a place [where] the main opportunities are to get rich or about human rights? Is it about a sense of freedom, a pursuit of happiness, or is it just about getting rich?"
Starring Bobby Cannavale and Olivia Wilde
HBO is staying in business with Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter.
The premium cable network has picked up to series the Boardwalk Empire duo's rock 'n' roll drama that's also exec produced by Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and Breaking Bad's George Mastras, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The 1970s drama — which remains untitled — explores the drug- and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out, all through the eyes of a record executive trying to resurrect his label and find the next new sound.
Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire, Nurse Jackie) stars as Richie, the founder and president of American Century Records, who has a great ear for discovering talent and who undergoes a crisis of character when confronted with a life-altering decision. Olivia Wilde stars as Richie's wife, with Parenthood's Ray Romano set as one of Richie's partners. The cast also includes Juno Temple, Andrew "Dice" Clay, Ato Essandoh, Max Casella, James Jagger, Jack Quaid, Birgitte Sorenson, P.J. Byrne, J.C.MacKenzie, Bo Dietel, Armen Gary, Robert Funaro and Joe Caniano.
Scorsese directed the pilot and executive produces alongside Jagger, Winter, Rick Yorn, Victoria Pearman, Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Mastras. Winter is set as showrunner and penned the script with Mastras. A premiere date has not yet been determined.
For HBO, the rock drama continues the premium cabler's relationship with Scorsese and Winter following the conclusion earlier this year of Boardwalk Empire. The drama, which was first put into development in 2011, becomes HBO's latest series offering as it bulks up on hourlong fare following the end of staples True Blood, Boardwalk and The Newsroom. Last month, HBO added its Westworld adaptation to its series roster, picking up the drama with an all-star cast anchored by Anthony Hopkins in his first series-regular role.
The rock drama joins a roster of originals that also includes Game of Thrones, anthology True Detective, The Leftovers and upcoming Utopia.
HBO's rock drama comes as scripted musical fare continues to be in demand at both broadcast and cable networks. Fox will launch Empire, a hip-hop drama starring Terrence Howard, in January, with ABC also poised to bow its musical fairy tale comedy Galavant during the same frame. ABC's country drama Nashville is in its third season and Fox has the final season of Glee due in 2015. For its part, Starz on Monday put Storyville, a period jazz drama produced by Tony winner George C. Wolfe, into development.

Today we do find more and more people who wonder where they belong or who are not happy at the place or in the community they are from childhood.
Perhaps by the continuing troubles and several conflicts between different groups people are doubting about the honesty and/or credibility of one group against the other. We also find third generation kids being torn between the different cultures or culture differences.
Jews, Muslims, Christians and non-religious people every day in the news her about the problems in Israel and on their television screen can see how Israeli soldiers kill innocent children. What we can see and hear in the daily press breeds ill blood by many. By some it fires their blood and gets them to react heavily against certain groups of people, like Jews or Muslims. We can see that many people do not see the difference between individuals their actions, or certain fundamentalist groups and the general common folks of a religion or country.
The last decade we have seen a growing amount of internet websites and blogs which have co-opted the terminology of Messianic Judaism but used it to mask some form of Jewishly-flavored Christianity or worse Christendom.
Mostly from the United States of America we see many evangelisers spreading their trinitarian views with a touch of "Jewish whipped cream". They think by adding some Jewish flavour they can lure Jews in their trinitarian belief and get their god Jesus accepted.
Big problem with those trinitarian "Messianics" (like they call themselves) is that they blur the vision and get non-trinitarian Christians and Messianics in discredit.
Many may wonder how they should call themselves. Others look down at them and say they can not be what they claim. As such we find Jews who have found Jeshua as the way to God, him being the Messiah, but then the Jews saying to them they cannot be Jew because they have no Jewish faith. Though than we could say to those Jews who find that those Jews who accepted Jeshua as their Messiah and believe he is the son of man and son of God, that they have the same Abrahamic Faith as their rebbe Jeshua. But than there are also Jews who claim Jeshua is not an accepted Jewish rabbi.
Other Jews are confused by those groups who call themselves Messianic Jews but worship a Trinity. There we can totally accept that those Jews have the full right to complain and to call such groups non Jewish.
It's the sort of question we and him love to dig into but haven't the faintest idea where to go to find valid numbers. for that reason we would love to hear some reactions from readers all over the world. It would be nice to get to know how people look at this developing trend of upcoming Sabbatarians, Sabbatical Christians, Messianic Jews (trinitarian and non-trinitairan) and to hear which position those groups want to take in and how people react against them.
The published author, editor, and technical write James Pyles who also has a passion for theology, strength training, and is breaking into fiction writing, particularly science fiction, currently working on his first full-length novel, knows there are probably individual Messianic organizations that likely keep track of their numbers, but he can't think of any one central repository that could tell him if Messianic Judaism is gaining or losing ground.
Too many people do forget that Jesus Christ, whose real name is Jeshua ben Joseph (the son of Joseph and Miriam or Mary, like most English speaking people and Catholics know them) was a devout Jew, being brought up in an Essenes family.
Pyles also writes a great deal about how a disciple of this Nazarene man, Jesus, can look through a "Jewish lens" and get a better perspective on life and the God who made us all. Those who say they are a follower of Jesus, be them Jeshuaists, Christians or Jews, should follow this Jewish master teacher his teachings and as such would be immersed in the Jewish teaching of him, and by this get some Jewish flavour.
Today more people of interfaith marriages want to find a place where they can belong.
I am a non Jew married to a Jewish husband. We too left the religious system of churchianity, and now worship at a Messianic Jewish Synagogue. Very traditional, with the liturgy, etc.
We are slowly learning to obey Torah, and I am finally beginning to understand the Scriptures, by looking at it from an Hebraic view, instead of a Hellenized view.
I have "assimilated" into the Torah observant lifestyle quite easily and happily. This is in NO way a smear on Christianity (true Biblical Christianity). Nor do I feel better than "Christians". I am simply happy where I am with my my husband. As long as Jesus/Yeshua is the LORD of our lives, we are all ONE, in Messiah.
Luckily she looks at Christianity as the group which exist of the true Biblical doctrine followers and not of the human doctrine followers of Christendom.
Having a Jewish partner always helps to find a better understanding of the Hebrew texts, if the partner knows Hebrew, but in our region we also do find several Jews who were brought up in a non Hebrew environment, so they too lack sufficient Hebrew language knowledge.
For anybody to be able to look through the scriptures with the lens of Jewish perspective must be eye opening. Therefore it is important that people help each other and give consult on those aspects they have spend more time in study. The amount of material is namely to huge to tackle all oneself in a few years.
We are also aware of the great amount of Messianic groups as well as Jewish groups. Many of them presenting different focusses and some being closer to one or the other pure Jewish group, but some also dangerously leaning closer to binitarian and/or trinitarian Christian groups. But on the road we may also find groups which are considered by some to be cults, like the group of Michael Rood and the group of Jim Staley, of Passion for Truth Ministries, who seem to us very misleading television pastors of the trinitarian movement. The Messianic groups on the site of trinity doctrines seem to be in the majority.
We have under the Messianics also the Hebrew Roots movement, the Abrahamic Faith Church and the restored Church of God, Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith and could call the Nazarenes, Nazarene Friends also to be acquainted with them.
It must be said, having a growing amount of Messianic groups opens the way to more people becoming confronted with Jeshua. The Messianic movement has been used mightily by the Elohim to see many Jewish people come to saving faith in Messiah Jeshua (Christ Jesus). On the other hand we also see that it has also helped many evangelical Christians appreciate their Hebraic and Jewish Roots and the Torah. The Messianic movement definitely stands against the common, yet errant thought in much of modern Christian theology, that the Torat Moshe or Mosaic Law was exclusively for the era prior to the Messiah, and has now been nullified with his arrival.
By the growing amount of blogs presenting the thoughts of followers of Jeshua, people get to see more articles on how Jeshua himself as a Jew followed God's Will and Instructions. Though we notice this being a very difficult part for many people to come to see and understand how Jesus put his own will aside to do the Will of God and demands we should do likewise.
The many Messianic groups want to make it clear that we as human beings should try to do the Will of God. In most communities there is made work of showing what God wants of humankind. In most Messianic communities people also try to follow the rules God has given mankind to organise their meetings and their spiritual growth.
Having all over the world many Messianic groups which organise themselves in different ways should not frighten us nor have the world to think they can not be God's instrument.
Depending where you live you might find nearly none or a number of Messianic congregations which are quite close to following an Orthodox Jewish level of Torah keeping, others which shun a great deal of Jewish tradition and custom, and then others which stand somewhere in the middle.
If there is anything that all congregations or fellowships have in common, it is that there is a panoply of different interpretations and applications of commandments. The order of the Shabbat service could be very different from one assembly to another, the way kosher is kept is probably not going to be the same, and the way people dress and groom themselves will certainly not be uniform. But that should not hold you back.
Because all people are different and are residing in different cultures people may find a wide selection of views present within today's Messianic Judaism, regarding non-Jewish Believers and their relationship to Torah practices like remembering Shabbat or the appointed times. Some leaders are very welcoming of non-Jewish Believers being Torah observant, others are not so welcoming, some are indifferent, and some are hostile.
When we do know that it is God Who calls the people, we should leave it to God to decide who is coming to Him and who is coming to our gatherings. As People of God we should always remember that all people are creatures from God and should receive our full respect. To all creatures of God we should have a welcoming and receiving attitude.
Having open doors to all human beings should not mean we should deviate or go away from the Will of God. The Elohim's mitzvoth should always come in the first place. All those coming into our prayer houses, ecclesiae or synagogues should come to see that the Torah is our Guidebook. Variations of how we do things people should come to see that not every day is the same as well that we are liberated by Christ of certain chains and have the liberty to organise us like we want, but always in accordance to the rules and regulations of Scriptures. If we come together at 9 a.m., 10 a.m. or 3 p.m. on the Sabbath/Saturday or have service at 7 p.m. on Friday does not matter or should not have any one thinking it would be a group not belonging to the Messianics.
How the service is build should also to be each community its liberty and as in our community may differ from one day to the other. There can be much discussions about that, certain groups wanting to see a duplicate of certain Jewish synagogue services. But they should know the Messianic Movement should not be the continuation of the Old World but should be the commencement of the New World, liberated by the second Adam, Jeshua (Christ Jesus) the Messiah.
It is in Christ we should show unity. In the way the talmidim constructed their gatherings we can find examples how to construct our gatherings. Like an ecclesia was build up in the first century we also can build up our ecclesia.
As a religious community we should show the world we do not want to be of the world but of Christ. Nothing should hold us back to show our faith in the Nazarene master teacher and to emphasise the common faith and salvation that we all possess in Israel's Messiah as being the most important thing. Having our eyes directed at Jeshua shall make sure we will have far less divisions and suspicions among the members, and we will be able to have a positive impact on the world around our community — than a religious community which primarily emphasizes differences among God's people, where rivalry and mistrust will too frequently manifest.
for many people it might be difficult to be under some one or to co-operate with some one. Some may be ego-trippers or pepole who do find they should have the lead. Several people have certain pro- and contra- feelings or are bounded to political parties or political ideologies. This make it that in certain groups we may find certain personal politics being the priority. While it is difficult at times not to get engulfed in the politics of our broad Messianic faith community, we must strive as best as we can to remain above them. God has given warnings not to be of the world. By letting ourselves being carried away by such internal politics we fall in the trap of the adversary.
We have to act like mature believers whose loyalty is, first of all, to the Scriptures and the legitimate mission of God, and not a particular sub-movement or clique.
Today lots of people are more interested in the entertainment value of a community. We can see the growing success of the Pentecostal church at the same time the main churches, like the Catholic church having nearly nobody attending their services. (According to the latest enquête (Pew research of May 2018) only 10% of the Belgian population would go once or a few times per year to a church service.
We do not have to aim to attract those who left the ordinary church, getting in our services by presenting roadshows or musical events.
For us it must be clear that recognizing the God of Israel and showing respect to His sent one should be our object of worship-service. We should not be afraid to spend most of the time of our service to the Bible, the infallible Word of God.
We also should show the world that there are more people than us, spread all over the world, who accept Jeshua as the sent one from God and him being the Messiah.
That international existence we should dare to show to others and therefore we can only hope that the Messianic Groups shall grow in unity and that more and more those groups shall show their connection with others.
For that reason we would like to invite all believers in Jeshua, who want to follow up the tasks given by this son of man and son of God, to let us and the world know that they too are willing to be part of the Body of Christ, united in spirit and worshipping also the God of Jesus, who is the God of Abraham and Who is a Singular Spirit Being and not a man of flesh and blood.
Please let us not hide our communities, but let us share our thoughts and connection.
Looking forward to get to know you better, wherever in the world you might be, sharing the same hope as us for a better world, having our eyes directed at the King of kings, who paved the way to God and to the small gate of the coming Kingdom of God.
Gods, plural. Atheists, take note.
It would be lovely if those coming along here, who would find they too believe in the unity of people who follow Jeshua as their Messiah, would not mind letting themselves known and have their site also be known, so that others wherever in the world also shall be able to find some one close to them, who believes Jeshua is the son of God (and not god the son) as well as the long awaited Messiah, who shall return to judge the living and the dead.
All visitors area also invited to come to visit Messiah for all.
The Brethren in Christ or Christadelphians are like their name implies people who consider themselves as brothers and sisters in Christ, sharing the Abrahamic Faith, looking forward to incredible times to come.
People from all sorts of denominations are always welcome. The sharing of the symbols (bread and wine) may only be taken by baptised members, but are a good reason to become a full member of the ecclesia, so that the gathering may every time be a special occasion to feel the link between the community, Jesus and our only One God, Jehovah the Most High.

Q: Apply class if empty I need to check whether an img src is empty and then apply a class to another element.
Here is the HTML

If the img src is empty, apply the class hide to the span.page-icon.

A: $('img[src=""]').parent().addClass('hide')

A: Something like this should do it for all images on a page...
$('img').each(function(){
 var src = $(this).attr('src');
 if (!src){
  $(this).parent('.page-icon').addClass('hide');
 }
});

A: $('span.page-icon img').each(function() {
    console.log(this.src);
    if (this.src.length <= 0) {
        $(this).parent().addClass('hide');
    }
    else if ($(this).attr('src').length <= 0) {
        $(this).parent().addClass('hide');
    }
});

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/kk9MQ/

A: $("img").each(function()
{

   if($(this).attr("src") === "")
   {

       $(this).parent().addClass("hide");

   }

});

A: $('span').has('img[src=""]').addClass('hide');

Look for any span that has an img with src="" and add the class hide

A: Use an attribute selector to get img elements with an empty src attribute.
$("img[src='']").parent().addClass("hide");

A: If the span will only contain a single image tag this will work:
$('span.page-icon:has(img[src=""])').addClass('hide');

http://jsfiddle.net/Dhfam/

A: This should work:
if ($(".page-icon img").attr("src").length == 0) {
  $(".page-icon").addClass("hide");
}

One of the initial feeling that you may have if you've tested positive for HSV is that you're alone. Unlike other medical conditions where you can get support from family and friends, often times people don't want to discuss with anyone that they have herpes, and it can lead to a feeling of isolation and depression. It's important to not allow herpes to define your life. Herpes outbreaks do not happen as often as you might think they will, and each reoccurrence is less severe than the last one. Your suffering decrease as time goes on, so realizing you have herpes might not be as bad as you think. Treatments are readily available, so you can virtually eliminate the outbreaks entirely if you do the right things. Keep your head up; there is plenty of reason to.
Something that may motivate you to maintain a positive attitude is the fact that your depression may actually increase your chances for outbreaks. Any stress, sadness, or extreme mood will cause a slight imbalance in your body. This may cause you to gain weight, lose sleep, or go through a variety of other problems. On top of all of that, you may also get a new round of herpes as a result. You need to remember that the vast majority of your life will not be affected by the herpes. All you need to do is monitor your outbreaks, and you should be able to lead a perfectly healthy life.
There are some things you can avoid which may help reduce your chance of outbreaks, thereby reducing your depression as well. You should maintain a diet with foods that are high in lysine and low in arginine. This means eating fruits, vegetables, dairy products and more. Arginine rich foods like chocolate and oats should be avoided at the same time to help prevent outbreaks from happening. Arginine is actually the substance that your herpes feeds on, so if you can remove that from your diet, you can remove the fuel for outbreaks.
Try to do things that help get your endorphins up, like playing with a dog or going for a brisk walk. Exercise is a very important part of our well being. This may make you feel better about yourself and forget about your herpes altogether. You can't let depression or herpes stop you from living as you normally would. All you can do is be aware of your symptoms and avoid passing them on to others in the future. Spreading the virus will only make you feel worse about yourself, so watch for your outbreaks and avoid skin to skin contacts until two or three days after they have passed.

MUPPET ON A STRING
Theresa May relies on MP who thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old and Ireland's Giant's Causeway is evidence for Noah's flood
The DUP just barely managed to take first place in the Stormont elections with 0.2 per cent more votes than Sinn Fein
By Andrew Nicoll
WHEN PM Harold MacMillan suffered the humiliation of the Profumo Affair over 50 years ago, it was all summed up in a single line of poetry: "Never glad confident morning again."
After the shocks of the election, that seems appropriate because it will never be a "glad confident morning again" for the Tories and certainly not for the SNP.
Theresa May has to rely on outside help to push through majority
So what happened in this most chaotic and catastrophic of election nights?
It was only a few days ago that Theresa May came to Edinburgh and issued a stark warning over what was at stake.
At a party workers meeting, she said: "If we lose six seats, the Government loses its majority. That would mean Jeremy Corbyn in No10 and Nicola Sturgeon pulling the strings from Bute House."
In fact, Mrs May lost a dozen seats and she's now setting out to govern not with Nicola Sturgeon, but with the Democratic Unionist Party pulling the strings.

Mrs May, who was pictured with poll rival Bobby 'Elmo' Smith, now relies on a party including creationist MP David Simpson, who believes the Earth is 6,000 years old and Ireland's Giant's Causeway is evidence for Noah's flood.
Yesterday she said that was because the country needs "certainty that only the Conservative Party" can provide. With a little help from their friends.
Remember, the DUP just barely managed to take first place in the Stormont elections with 0.2 per cent more votes than Sinn Fein.
The 12 per cent vote for the SDLP means Republicans and Unionists are tied in the Assembly — or they would be if there was a government.
Devolution is suspended because the Republican side won't work with DUP leader Arlene Foster after she was caught up in the £400million Renewable Heat Incentive scandal which saw businesses paid £1.20 for every £1 of renewable fuel they burned.
But this is the crutch which provided strength and stability to the Conservative government. We don't know what price Mrs May is willing to pay for that support.
But she's willing to pay. To make it work, she needs not just the DUP, she also needs all her own MPs to be good.
If just five of them flex their muscles over the slightest issue, like the Brexit talks, all the certainty falls to bits.
Surprisingly, some of that internal opposition may come from the new crop of Scottish Tories after Ruth Davidson set down a marker to Mrs May and told her to stop pushing for hard Brexit.
Scotland is the only place where the Tory vote went up and Ruth is the only one who can make that kind of criticism.
The terrible truth is that Mrs May is a dead Prime Minister walking.
Nobody elected her. She went to the country demanding a mandate of her own and she was brutally rejected.
Her own MPs might keep her on life support, but they'll knife her before long.
You may be sick of elections but don't be surprised if there is another one soon.
And that's very bad news for the SNP.
After decades in the wilderness as an unfashionable fringe party, they found themselves as the dominant force of Scottish politics these past few years.
Nothing could stand in their way.
They discovered that all of that had rotted away, invisibly, from the inside.
Not too many years ago the streets of Glasgow were choked with delirious crowds, struggling to get close to Alex Salmond, chanting "Yes, Yes, Yes".
But the crumbling of the SNP vote was summed up when Mr Salmond lost to a Tory and was booed off stage after a long, rambling concession speech, studded with traditional Scots poetry.
"Ye've no seen the last of my bonnets and me," said Alex. Aye, Alex, we might have though. The thing is, this huge change didn't happen on Thursday. It happened a long time ago.
We just didn't know. Like an iceberg looming out of the electoral mist it just became visible.
That's why Mrs May's incompetence and the SNP's unpopularity are such a shock — because they were there all the time and nobody noticed.
Ms Sturgeon has not yet had time to grasp the enormity of that change.
Yesterday, when she couldn't bring herself to admit that IndyRef2 is dead in the water, the First Minister found time to pay tribute to Mr Salmond as a "giant of Scottish politics who has devoted his life to serving this country".
Sadly, the voters of Gordon were not even a tiny bit grateful to him or the other dozen SNP MPs now on the dole queue.
Ms Sturgeon used to say IndyRef2 was the will of the people, endorsed by her election win, secured by a vote of the Holyrood parliament and "triple locked" by winning more seats than anybody else in Thursday's vote.
By afternoon, her "remarkable" election win meant she had decided to stop and think again about IndyRef2.
"We will reflect on these results, listen to voters and consider the best way forward in the interests of all Scotland," she said.
Everything we used to think was right has turned out to be wrong. Everything's moving. And where it will stop is far from clear.
But if you don't understand what's going on, don't worry. The politicians don't either.

Q: Every vector space has a basis Prove that every vector space has a basis. I am going to use Zorn's lemma for this also here is a necessary definition regarding totally ordered subsets: one element will be contained in the other.
proof: A basis for $V$ is a maximally linearly independent set. Let $X$ be equal to all linearly independent subsets of $V$. On, $X$ define $A\leq B$ means $A\subset B$. Let $S$ be a totally ordered subset of $X$, let $T = \bigcup_{A_{s}\in S} A_s$ then $A_s\subset T$ for all $s\in S$. Does $T\in S$? i.e. is $T$ a linearly independent set?. Let $$O = \alpha_1 v_1 + \alpha_2 v_2 + \ldots + \alpha_n v_n \ \ \text{where} \ \ v_i\in T = \bigcup_{A_{s}\in S} A_s$$ Then there exists $S_i$ such that for all $i\in A_{s_{i}}$ all $i$ $A_{s_{1}},A_{s_{2}},\ldots, A_{s_{n}}$ (these will have one contained in the other then we would take the larger). So, there exists $A_{s_{k}}$ such that $A_{s_{k}}\supset A_{s_{i}}$ all $i$ just compare two at a time. Therefore, $V_i \in A_{s_{k}}$ all $i$, but $A_{s_{k}}$ is a linearly independent set. So, $\alpha_i = 0$ all $i$. Hence, $T\in X$ so $T$ is an upper bound for $S$. Hence every totally ordered subset of $X$ has an upper bound, hence by Zorn's lemma, there exists a maximal element and this would be the basis.
I am not sure if my proof is right, I apologize if it is a bit messy. If it is right, any suggestions on cleaning it up would be greatly appreciated.

A: The proof is very hard to understand. Here is why:

*

*Either the elements of $S$ are $s$ or $A_s$, it's confusing to mix those apart.

*You have a confusing typo, when you write "Does $T\in S$?" you mean $T\in X$.

*$0$ and $O$ are two different things.

*$i$ seems to be some index, but then you say that $i\in A_{s_i}$ which makes absolutely no sense. Is it some finite indexing? Is it a vector in $A_s$? What is it?

*Where did $V_i$ come from? Perhaps you meant $v_i$? Remember that mathematics is case sensitive.

Other than that, if I understood the underlying idea you were trying to use, this is fine. Here's a simpler and cleaner version of what you wrote:
Let $X$ be all the linearly independent subsets of $V$, and let $\leq$ be the $\subseteq$ order on $X$. Let $S$ be a totally ordered subset of $X$, then we claim that $T=\bigcup S$($=\bigcup_{A\in S}A$) is an upper bound of $S$ and $T\in X$.
$T$ is a linearly independent set, since if $\alpha_1\cdot v_1+\ldots+\alpha_n\cdot v_n=0$ for some scalars $\alpha_i$ and $v_i\in T$, there are some $A_i\in S$ such that $v_i\in S_i$. But $S$ is linearly ordered so there is some $j$ such that $v_i\in A_j$ for all $1\leq i\leq n$. And because $A_j$ is linearly independent it has to be that $\alpha_i=0$ for all $i$. Therefore $T$ is linearly independent and $T\in X$.
It is an upper bound of $S$ since for every $A\in S$, it is true that $A\subseteq T$, so $A\leq T$.
We have shown that given an arbitrary totally ordered subset of $X$, it has an upper bound in $X$, so by Zorn's lemma there is a maximal linearly independent set, which is a basis. $\square$
