Tanner Creek was always peaceful.
Jia found her bench at the bottom of the trail, nestled beneath the tall willows overshadowing the riverbank. Forming one of the natural barriers of the campus, almost no one came down here and it had the merit of being a good ten degrees cooler than the surroundings. Now that the school year had reached November, the climate was in danger of actually reaching pleasant and possibly cold in the next few months.
She carefully sat down on the bench, making sure the weatherworn, slightly splintered wood didn't catch her skirt. Jia had put a little more effort into today's outfit and wore a nice cream blouse, a pearl necklace, gold earrings and a great pair of glossy black pumps. She'd even made herself up.
Eli would be by before too long and she wanted him to know he was worth making an effort for.
Jia checked her text messages while she waited. Nothing new from Flynn, unsurprisingly. He'd opted to handle the presentation part of their Ethics paper on the Fortune Teller, leaving her the paper. They both preferred it that way. Finding research material on the enigmatic Hero had been difficult. The Fortune Teller had been shy about media her whole career, shy enough to have appreciably hurt sales of her comics and action figures.
Her finger tapped the side of the phone as Jia's thoughts turned to Alley. The way the blonde girl reacted when the Fortune Teller had first come up in conversation last month had been beyond bizarre. Jia was reluctant to make judgments but, in hindsight, it seemed like she had something to hide.
The spoken words came in an eerie echo of her own thoughts and Jia visibly jolted at the interruption. She hadn't even heard anyone approach. Looking up, she saw him, Jason Wyngarde, in all of his silver-crowned glory. Those incredible nearly-white eyes seemed hard but the skin around those eyes wasn't creased with anger the way it had been last time.
"I'm not hiding," Jia said to her ex-boyfriend.
Jason turned his back to her as he took in Tanner Creek. He looked good dressed in a white polo shirt and tan slacks that accented a thin build turned into lean, hard muscle from HCP training. The sight of him made her ache in ways she wished were only a distant memory.
No matter what, he would always be her first. And the father of her son. For the rest of their lives, there would always be that much connection at least.
"I don't get you," Jason said at last, back still turned to her.
"Jason, what don't you understand?" Jia asked, confused and not liking the feeling.
The apologies rolled over her like waves against a cliff, endless and unexpected currents against an immovable resentment and anger she rarely noticed was there. All at once, that cliff dissolved in those waves. All at once, the sight of the tears on his face moved her. She just wanted to wipe away that pain.
No one liked seeing someone they loved in pain.
Jia rose from her seat without thinking and took a step forward before she caught herself. She still loved him. Her body wanted to go to him, knew it belonged in the arms that opened for her. This was Jake's father. If the rift between them could truly be healed, their son would have the family he deserved.
But the thought of Eli held her back.
As if on cue, Jia's eyes went up the other path and found Eli standing there, watching events unfold. He was handsome with his combed back pale blonde hair and goatee. She couldn't see his freckles from here but they were one of his most endearing features. Other endearing features included a sense of reverence for God they shared, an abiding compassion for all human beings and an infinite patience for her insecurities.
Even now, Eli made no move to approach. She was his girlfriend, facing a man who could only be the ex who'd fathered her child and still Eli held back. Because he trusted her. And maybe because he cared enough about her to let her do what she needed to. If she embraced Jason after all, would he walk away? Probably. It was Eli's way to put her happiness over his own.
In that moment of thought, Jia took a step back from Jason and towards Eli.
Jason's white eyes turned dark, cloudy with the onset of confused pain. With clenched fists, he looked up the path and at last spotted his blonde rival. Those white eyes seemed to go from dark to black, rage swelling within them. Or maybe not black. Red.
She reached out a hand to grab Jason by the shoulder and snatched it away, shocked at the searing heat of his skin. Air currents stirred around him, a heat mirage haloing him like a forcefield of incipient wrath. Steeling herself, Jia plunged her hand back into the aura and bore only mild discomfort as she caught his arm.
"She was my girlfriend," Jason said, calling up to Eli, ignoring her.
"I know," Eli said back. If Jason was fire and rage, Eli was a slowly moving ocean of endless cool, calm water.
The admission of her boyfriend's feelings only confirmed her own. Jia had never had an active romantic life. High school was all about being valedictorian and proving the Sun family name stood for excellence. Jason had been an unexpected surprise in his own way, a fellow Super with the same secret, the same faith in God and the same dynasty of unrelenting standards. But she loved him the way a well holds water, seemingly empty and dry until a torrent of emotions caused all her feelings to rise to the surface and flood the landscape of her life.
That same well within had filled to capacity for Eli. Those kind, respectful comments that held his feelings so carefully brought her own to the surface and now she had no doubt of how much she cared for him. How much she'd fallen in love with the gentle man.
When Jia glanced at Jason to do see what he would do, the white-haired man had frozen in place. Heat roiled the air around him, unmistakably artificial. Fear for Jason cut through the tidal plain of her feelings for both men, demanding a response.
So Jia stepped in towards Jason and pushed him into Tanner Creek.
The first-ranked man in the boy's HCP oofed from the unexpected shove, for she'd used a fraction of her additional strength to make sure he went in. Flailing his arms, Jason hit the water a moment later. A hissing steam rose at once from the surface that Eli hopefully didn't notice with the spectacle.
As Jason surfaced, Jia stepped up to the bank of the creek and looked down at him.
Without listening to his response, Jia took the incline up the path until she reached the taller man waiting for her. Eli's face was somber but a lightness stole the severity of the expression, the hint of a smile turning up the corners of his mouth. He offered her a hand. Jia took it and let him lead her back onto campus.
It took several minutes for her to get the composure to talk. Jia knew she'd made a choice but her body thrummed with reaction. Old love coming back into reach at the same time she realized she had new love, it was a lot to process.
"Are you okay?" her boyfriend asked at last.
Jia's initial pleasure at how understanding Eli was faded beneath her growing astonishment. Eli knew! He'd noticed the heat patterns around Jason, saw the way the water boiled when he'd fallen in. For all of Jason's astonishing ability and agility with his pyrokinesis, the HCP would drop him in a second if Eli reported him. Something it seemed the blonde, bearded man had no intention of doing.
"Thank you," she said, choosing the simplest of all possible responses to her surprising boyfriend.
"You're assuming a lot," Jia said, swallowing hard.
"I'd adore dinner. You're not even going to ask what I can do, though?" Jia couldn't hide her surprise. Abilities tended to dominate conversations when they came up. She wasn't used to talking to someone more interested in her than in what she could do.
But as they walked along the sidewalks of West Private University, Jia spotted a rock on the sidewalk and stooped to pick it up. As Eli noticed, she concentrated and promptly chiseled into it with a fingernail. Half a second later, she passed it over to him. In that fraction of time, she'd left an inscription across the surface in miniature print.
Eli studied the inscription for a moment. Then he slipped the rock into a pocket, squeezed her hand and kissed her cheek. There was no fear in those beautiful blue eyes of his, only wonder.
And as they walked to dinner, Jia marveled at how lucky she was.

Why would a replay attack be considered a threat to integrity and not confidentiality?
I came across a test where the instructions were to circle all the correct answers. I'm looking for an explanation to the answer for this question:
Question: a replay attack is a threat against
Answers: 1) confidentiality 2) integrity 3) availability
Correct: 2) integrity
Explanation: attacker is faking the authentication process which is a level of indirection
First of all, is there a clear cut answer or is it more of an art interpreting the rules of CIA? Second, isn't the data being stolen and nothing is getting written to? Does it count as a write, just falsely authenticating to a system?

Where's this question from? A link would be great. – Neil Smithline Nov 4 '15 at 5:52
The question does not state that the replay attack provides access to information which has a confidentiality requirement, therefore the only conclusion that can be drawn is that there is a threat against the integrity of whatever system is in place that the replay is circumventing. – R15 Nov 4 '15 at 7:55
A replay attack is an attack where you record a legitimate transaction and then replay it at a later date.
It is not an attack on confidentiality because the attacker isn't learning any new information: he has the same data than what he recorded in the first place. it might lead to an unauthorized access but that is a different issue.
It is not an attack on availability because the target system will still be functioning normally (again, unless the replay attack opens up the way for a different kind of exploit).
It is, however, a breach of the system integrity because it allowed an unauthorized transaction.
StephaneStephane
In addition to Stephane's good answer, note that the attacker might not even know the content of the replayed message, which could be encrypted. So this is not a confidentiality breach. In this case, of course, the attacker won't know which effect his attack will have, but he might want to do so as a DoS. – dr01 Nov 4 '15 at 9:21
@Celeritas In this case, it's new, unauthorized data that is being added. That counts as "modification" as far as the global dataset is concerned – Stephane Nov 4 '15 at 10:02
@Celeritas The replayed data. Imagine that we have a fund transfer system: A signed, encrypted packet sent to a bank say "give 10€ from Bob to Alice". If Alice records the packet and send it again to the bank, she performs a replay attack: adding new, fraudulent transactions to the system. – Stephane Nov 5 '15 at 8:17
No: a replay attack is any attack where you replay the content of a previous, legitimate transaction. Replaying authentication is a common type of replay attack but it is in no way the only one. – Stephane Nov 5 '15 at 8:21
@Celeritas, we cannot know the side effect of any particular operation. Even a seemingly innocuous message that queries a bank account for a balance, where the entire exchange is encrypted still presents a problem. What if the user is only allowed 10 queries/day? Nine replays and the user can no longer check a balance. From your definition above "...protecting information from being modified by unauthorized parties" we need to protect the user's "daily balance query limit" from modification by Ralph the Replayer. – Andrew Philips Nov 6 '15 at 6:57
The question is usually a distraction and a rat-hole. CI & A are goals for properties that system designers aim for. A replay is a type of attack. Assuming that there is a perfect mapping between attacks and goals gets people tied up in knots.
In threat modeling, people often try to categorize attacks they've discovered according to STRIDE, and get caught up in questions like this. (STRIDE is a mnemonic for violations of AINCAA, a super-set of CIA.) The question I encourage them to ask is "what good does it do to categorize in that way?" and I've never in a decade of teaching threat modeling heard a good answer.
Stephane's analysis is good; a replay attack is a violation of integrity, and that can help you decide you need authentication controls in the protocol or system. However, you can get that answer in many easier ways.
Adam ShostackAdam Shostack
I'm not sure this answers the question. It is a great (and perhaps necessary) comment, but not an answer (you merely echo Stephane's words). – schroeder♦ Nov 5 '15 at 16:21
So I'm not a stackexchange expert--when it's a bad question, is the right thing to add a comment rather than an answer? – Adam Shostack Nov 5 '15 at 16:26
I comment on unclear questions and provide answers on misguided ones (like this). – u2702 Nov 5 '15 at 21:51
The key defining factor of a replay attack is that the replay'd message is treated as legitimate traffic and has some effect. Simply being able to replay a transaction isn't enough - it has to also look like regular traffic.
For example, say you have a programmable wireless car-key. You have to type your password into both the key and at some point the car, lets say.
If the password is sent to the car in plaintext, it is both vulnerable to confidentiality AND integrity attacks (your third criteria, availability, would be if you could jam/block the car-key or not).
So say you encrypt the password with SHA9000, and send that to the car. Eavedroppers can no longer see/decrypt your password and it's no longer vulnerable to confidentiality attacks, but since your password hashes the same way every time it can simply be replayed.
Now imagine that you don't encrypt the password, but you do send the password plus the current time of day. Now communications are no longer confidential, but they are protected from 'dumb' replay attacks. I say dumb, because the attacker knowing the protocol could easily replicate it knowing the password, so we haven't got true integrity protection yet, but its a step in the right direction. Unlike confidentiality attacks, integrity attacks have a much broader spectrum of vulnerability. It's often not all or nothing, but somewhere in between. Certain kinds of packets maybe, or perhaps "60% of the time it's vulnerable every time" if it's PRNG related... it used to be a bit of a cat-and-mouse game with protocols having all sorts of weird checksums, etc, to ensure it was a legitimate device sending them, but attackers would eventually learn and dupe the protocol... early security jobs mainly focused on communication integrity.
Then the wide-spread adoption of encryption changed all that, because everything wrapped in a layer of encryption carries the authenticity of the encryption too.
For example, in our car-key example, if you concatenate the password and the time of day together into a single string, and encrypt that, you can get integrity and confidentiality in one.
J.JJ.J
JJ, this is a good explanation. Just to clarify, a hashed password is not "encrypted" even though people use that terminology, as it cannot be "decrypted" in the cryptographic sense. It's hashed, it becomes a verifier, etc. Also, just encrypting the msg isn't enough. It also requires a separate integrity protection unit. In a well designed algorithm, there would be two keys, one for encryption and one for hashing (MAC(msg,key)). Using the same key for both opens up a two-pronged attack. Embedding the hash inside the encrypted message also has some issues (I cannot currently remember why). – Andrew Philips Nov 6 '15 at 6:43
All good points, and you're right I shouldn't be so lazy with my terminology - particularly when explaining things to newcomers looking to learn the basics. In my example the integrity protection unit was the time-of-day, assuming the key and the car were synced. Of course, in real life scenarios this wouldn't happen because they would come out of sync (you have no idea how many times i've been locked out of AWS servers because my gemalto 2-factor auth. drifted too far) and time can be duped, so proper algorithms like the one you described should be used :) But as a demo i think it's OK – J.J Nov 9 '15 at 15:11
Yup, TOD, the bane of all real world security applications. TOD just creates all sorts of problems from the illusion of a secure PRNG seeding to protocol sync issues. Notable sync pains from the past: DCE setup (in the 90's) and RSA Token keys. – Andrew Philips Nov 9 '15 at 15:29

Atomic Mass From Atomic Abundance Chemistry Problem
Worked Atomic Abundance Chemistry Problem
The atomic weight of an element is a weighted ratio of atomic weights. For boron, this means the number of neutrons in an atom isn't always 5. ROGER HARRIS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY / Getty Images
You may have noticed the atomic mass of an element isn't the same as the sum of the protons and neutrons of a single atom. This is because elements exist as multiple isotopes. While each atom of an element has the same number of protons, it can have a variable number of neutrons. The atomic mass on the periodic table is a weighted average of the atomic masses of atoms observed in all samples of that element. You can use the atomic abundance to calculate the atomic mass of any element sample if you know the percentage of each isotope.
Atomic Abundance Example Chemistry Problem
The element boron consists of two isotopes, 105B and 115B. Their masses, based on the carbon scale, are 10.01 and 11.01, respectively. The abundance of 105B is 20.0% and the abundance of 115B is 80.0%.
What is the atomic mass of boron?
The percentages of multiple isotopes must add up to 100%. Apply the following equation to the problem:
atomic mass = (atomic mass X1) · (% of X1)/100 + (atomic mass X2) · (% of X2)/100 + ...
where X is an isotope of the element and % of X is the abundance of the isotope X.
Substitute the values for boron in this equation:
atomic mass of B = (atomic mass of 105B · % of 105B/100) + (atomic mass of 115B · % of 115B/100)
atomic mass of B = (10.01· 20.0/100) + (11.01· 80.0/100)
atomic mass of B = 2.00 + 8.81
atomic mass of B = 10.81
The atomic mass of boron is 10.81.
Note that this is the value listed in the periodic table for the atomic mass of boron. Although the atomic number of boron is 10, its atomic mass is nearer to 11 than to 10, reflecting the fact that the heavier isotope is more abundant than the lighter isotope.
Why Aren't Electrons Included?
The number and mass of electrons is not included in an atomic mass calculation because the mass of the electron is infinitesimal compared to that of a proton or neutron. Basically, electrons don't significantly affect the mass of an atom.

My buddy from Plett, Neal Stephenson has been working on a ski design. Neal is one of those ultimate WaterMen. It doesn't matter what craft he is on, as long as he is in water he is incredible. When we were growing up he was one of the best BodyBoarders in the World. Now he paddles, both Rivers and Surf Ski. He has shaped a few wave ski's (that he used to win World Titles) as well as shaping a few malibu boards. The past few Fish River Marathons, he has stayed with me, and I always know he will have his toolkit with him, and he is the best when it comes to neat repairs!
He used his extensive sea knowledge, as well as his shaping experience, plus some cool IT design to shape the foamy. After glassing it, he tested it, and now Knysna Racing Kayaks have made a mold and will begin to manufacture it! Watch this space!
He has made an awesome little boat! It is aimed at the slightly smaller person, not the over 100kg beast! It has been designed to be super fast in the runs. Most ski's out there have been designed for tall, big people. Funny enough, not all the people who paddle are massive, and most people out there are paddling craft way too big for them. There are so many new ski's on the market right now, but nothing like the Genius! I can't wait to see what it can do!
I tested it the other day, and found it to be fast, and thanks to its shorter length, it accelerates really nicely, making it an ideal choice for downwind conditions!
looks like a nice ski, how much?
I need to get some ski's here.


We all recognize a tucked tail as a doggy stress signal. But your dog has many other ways to say that he's uncomfortable – and you may not be familiar with all of them.
Most people who live with dogs recognize some of the "bigger" clues that a dog's anxious, uncomfortable, or outright scared--cowering, whining, and a tucked tail, to name just three. This article discusses a few more subtle signs. They generally don't reflect full-blown panic, but they tell you that all's not quite right in Dogalini World.
If we can decode our dogs' body language, we can bail out sensitive dogs before they get overwhelmed. And even boneheaded, happy-go-lucky types may find some situations too much for them. Come to think of it, watching them closely may reveal that they're not such boneheads after all.
When we recognize our dogs' stress signals and take action to help them out, we're taking care both of the dog and of ourselves. I often remember an aging dog named Jack whose humans noticed that he always retreated from their toddler's approach. They thought nothing of it, so Jack's repeated nonaggressive signals that he disliked kiddy-style handling didn't get through. Jack finally bit. The child had to have stitches, and Jack lost his home. What a lot of preventable grief.
Of course, you don't need to intervene every time your dog experiences stress. For instance, he might startle easily at the sound of a car backfiring, then relax and go back to sniffing the hydrant a few seconds later. There's probably no big issue here. On the other hand, I'd be rich if I had a dollar for every client who told me a bite came out of the blue and then went on to describe in clear detail the half-dozen signs of distress her dog gave her. The human saw them all, but didn't understand.
What Signs Tell You a Dog Is Stressed?
A dog who's a bit worried about a person, another animal, or a situation may turn her head away. Commonly, you'll be able to see the whites of her eyes at the same time, as she looks sidelong at whatever the problem is. Never, ever touch or even approach a dog who's gone still and shows the whites of her eyes, because $5 will get you $10 she's on the verge of exploding with a lunge, a snap, or even a bite.

HomeFright Fest Review #18: Magic (1978)
Fright Fest Review #18: Magic (1978)
October 20, 2015 October 20, 2015 Kevin Fentress Movie ReviewsAnthony Hopkins, Doll, Dummy, Horror, Magic, Ventriloquist
Schizophrenia For Dummies
Subgenre: Evil Doll
Summary: An up-and-coming ventriloquist begins to lose control over his psychotic dummy.
Review: Magic begins with our hero, struggling magician Corky, bombing at a New York nightclub. It then abruptly jumps ahead one year to find Corky headlining at that very same club – only now, he's added wisecracking dummy Fats to his act. The audience can't get enough of Fats's smart mouth, and Corky's agent sees big things in his future. But when the pressure of national success looms ahead, Corky flees to upstate New York (with Fats in tow) to visit his high school crush.
Magic's strongest asset is Hopkins, who does double duty as both Corky and Fats. As the former, he's unstable but sympathetic. As the latter, he's disturbing, shrill, and quite funny at times. Thanks to Hopkins's performance, Corky's "conversations" with his dummy cause the audience to believe in Fats's sentience just as much as Corky does.
Unfortunately, the movie's plot doesn't fare as well. Once Corky and Fats arrive at the Catskills, Magic devolves into a fairly boilerplate thriller that offers little in the way of surprise. The perpetually cloudy setting creates some decent atmosphere, but it's not enough to make up for the obvious story beats. Magic's ends on a quiet note, and while not completely unsatisfying, it lacked the man vs. dummy showdown I was hoping for.
The Verdict: Magic has plenty going for it, but plenty of flaws as well. I give it six domineering dummies out of ten.

Shopping has never been easier.
By keeping these things in mind, you can quickly find out how much, or how little, you will be paying for your policy. One of the wisest things you and do is to compare quotes to find out where the best policy is available before you pay. When you go online to get a quote, you will be asked several questions in order to give you an accurate price quote.
"Free" insurance quotes are giving consumers the power to take back their freedom when it comes to their insurance. How? By making it easy to comparison shop online and not charging you a dime to do it. What's more, thanks to new automated insurance guesstimators, you don't even have to talk to a real person to get an idea of how much you're going to pay for your coverage.
It's also convenient. You can do everything right from your bedroom. However, a red flag pops up in your mind: No one does anything for free. If they give it to you for free they certainly expect to get something back at least.
The best to and easiest place to get free quotations for health insurance is online. You can glom onto fantastic deals from some of the providers. Getting a quote usually entails the simple process of filling out a form on the Internet. You have the added advantage of being totally control.
I know personally how draining the financial burdens of illnesses can be. I worked for a while as a contractor installing cable. The horror stories were endless. I know a guy who slipped from his ladder, and nearly snapped his leg in half when it got caught in between the ladder rungs.
He was out of work for months, and even now he isn't walking at 100%. Thank goodness for Aflac.
Good old rate comparisons will always come in handy. How can you choose the best insurer if you do not know what they have to offer? Shopping online for insurance offers is a great idea, many sites offer free insurance quotes which can be emailed directly to your private email box.
You will find dozens of online companies offering all sorts of different types of insurance products.
Try searching The Biz Hunter for articles on life insurance quotes online. You will find articles with links to businesses that offer the services that you are looking for. The website can also help you find information on work from home jobs.
Although you can get a car insurance quote extremely quickly, you want to ensure that you're getting the best coverage possible without compromise. You also want to ensure that the insurer providing these quotes is a reputable one. There are ways to finding out if they are or aren't.
And, it would be in your best interest to uncover that.
To be able to get a good deal on your insurance, make sure your house is in its best insurable state.
Check out the roof, throw away the fire hazards, and paint the walls if you have to.
Focus on the quality of the program. It doesn't matter how much the program costs in the long run, as long as you're getting the best insurance training that you can. If you want a better career path, get more training. It's up to you as to which you choose, but you should never settle for a training course simply because it's cheap.
In most cases people will simply go for a cheap life insurance quotes policy. This means that they will cover themselves for a certain period of time. Once that time lapses then of life policy will expire. By that stage, however, they would expect their current dependents to be fully financial secure.
Whatever type of policy you get, however, you need to consider how much coverage you need. Essentially, the amount of coverage you get will be the size of the payout that your family will receive when you die. Consider how much they will require to keep on living without your income.
It is a good idea for you to calculate how much you can afford to pay for this type of coverage. You can decide on a monthly installment and then calculate it for a year. If you are certain that your budget is restricted you should definitely opt for term insurance.
As the name suggests you will get coverage for a certain period of time only. You will pay relatively small premiums which are fixed - they cannot be increased in any way. This option is cheaper as well as easier to manage. You can transfer to permanent insurance once you improve your financial situation.
Determine what type of insurance cover you want for your car. Basically, the typical coverage includes liability insurance, medical and property insurance.
How does the term policy work? This is quite simple. For a small premium, you get insurance coverage for the period you choose. If the policyholder dies within this period, the company pays a death benefit to the beneficiaries. If not, at the end of the term, the premiums and the coverage cease to exist.
3) Most life insurance quotes sites also have live help. They will answer any questions you have. Furthermore, they usually have many articles that will help you understand your life insurance needs and how to get what's best for you. If you want much more, you have it online.
You can visit sites that are devoted to life insurance. They are usually run by experts so you'll get all the information you need.
Bring someone else that has experience with motorcycles. Another pair of eyes is a great thing to bring along. They can spot things you would overlook, things that could cost you a lot of money if ignored. Plus, if they are an experienced rider, they may be able to see if the motorcycle is appropriate for you.
If your "expert" says to pass on this one, relax. There are literally thousands of motorcycles out there just waiting for you!
One solution for people who want cheaper insurance now, but are worried about having a policy expire in the future, would be to buy a conversion rider. This means that the policy can be converted to whole life in the future. One other option that is quite handy is called Return of Premium (ROP).
This costs more money, but it returns all premiums paid if the insured person survives after the policy expires. This cash payment can be spent in any way. Some people consider using the money to buy more coverage.

Q: SugarCRM: Displaying error with photo in listview I want to display an image in the listview, so I created a non-db field which is getting filled with an img tag by a process record hook. The code of the logic hook is the following:
$bean->picture_c = "<img src='index.php?entryPoint=download&id={$c->picture}&type=SugarFieldImage&isTempFile=1' style='height: 70px; width: 55px; '>";

It works fine but when the user does a simple or extended search it won't display any data until the user hides the column for the picture. Sugar throws no error it only says "no data/no records found" but after hiding the column and refreshing the site, all records of the previous search are displayed correctly and if I'm changing the photo column to visible the records are extended with the photo in the listview.
Do you have any hints why the search displays no data?

Tax break bestowed to various sectors, importers evading tax more, failure to widen the income tax population, collecting VAT on some big commodities are not at expected level etc.
We may have to brace for a smaller than expected budget in the next fiscal year. Spending target may hover at 5.2-5.3 trillion Taka in the next fiscal year.
Import grew exceptionally high in last fiscal which came down to normal this year. I think that is the main reason.
But import was abnormally high only on last year yet revenue growth rate was uniform at 14-19% in the last 4 years.But it came down to just 7% this year. So, last year's import anomaly can not be the main factor here.
Very disappointing as unless there is a big turnaround between now and the end of June, tax revenues as percentage of GDP will fall. Hopefully this year is an anomaly as the tax take as percentage of GDP has been slowly rising since 2014.

Listen to Star Songwriter & Rising Pop Singer Jesse Saint John's Pride-Themed #TBT Mixtape
6/13/2019 by Nick Williams
Jesse Saint John
Welcome to #TBT Mixtape, Billboard's series that showcases artists' very own throwback-themed playlists exclusive to Billboard's Spotify account. The curated set features the artists' favorite tracks from their youth and childhood.
This week's spin comes from Jesse Saint John. The Los Angeles-based pop newcomer and star Sony/ATV songwriter (who also serves as a creative director at Sony Music Entertainment) has netted credits for some of today's top stars and brightest new voices, from Britney Spears, Camila Cabello, Sia, and Charli XCX to Kim Petras, Lauv, Lizzo, The Neighbourhood and more.
Over the past two years, the talented upstart has built quite the solo following as a rising artist to watch in his own right, with the release of early buzz singles like "Move," "Fake It," "What Do U Like" and "Wiser," as well as his most recent 2019 EP Don't Stop Dancing. Life Gets Sad., which dropped last month and features collaborations with Brooke Candy, lil aaron, August 08 and more.
"I love straightforward, by-the-numbers pop songs, which I am constantly a part of," Saint John told Billboard earlier this year. "But for my project, I was asking myself, 'Why is pop just this three minute 'verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus' formula?' Why?"
To help ring in Billboard's Summer of Pride, the queer force put together this week's #TBT Mixtape to accentuate his main mission in the industry: to shine a light on the LGBTQ+ voices in the industry that are written off, or forgotten altogether.
"Pride, to me, is such an important time each year because it truly empowers marginalized people to feel and receive opportunities that they deserve 365 days a year," Saint John tells Billboard. "One of my main objectives as a music industry figure is to empower members of the LGBTQ+ community."
One way he's able to do so is to use his platform to "pay forward" opportunities that were afforded to him during his early rise. "It's our responsibility to spread out the opportunities we receive and welcome less fortunate members of our community that deserve a chance, especially the systematically oppressed POCs and trans members that feel forgotten within our own community," he says.
Give Jesse Saint John's playlist a spin, and check out his track-by-track reflections on each bop's relevance to his own journey and come-up in the biz below.
Britney Spears - "...Baby One More Time"
"From the second I saw this naughty schoolgirl I knew I had a queen for the rest of my life, one who would guide me and grow with me. I was 10 and this is the first CD I owned."
TLC - "Silly Ho"
"This entire album and aesthetic is still so relevant and these were my queens as well, I knew I was listening to something naughty so I had an extra little thrill."
Aaliyah - "We Need a Resolution"
"This is the first album I bought with my own money (whatever little money I earned at the age of, like, 12, ha). I was so shook by her sound and visuals."
Fiona Apple - "Limp"
"When I got into my early teens, I started internally feeling my queerness and the anger and sadness I felt from my clinical depression, as well as dealing with bullying, so I looked to the past and Fiona was an icon for me, and kind of spawned my love for lyrics."
Rilo Kiley - "The Moneymaker"
"Another angsty femme lyrical icon for me. This album was particularly dance-y so I was in heaven."
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Heads Will Roll"
"I'm sure you're sensing a theme here. This album was playing when I first kissed a boy, so in my mind, it's the gayest music in the world."
Kanye West - "Runaway"
"I've always loved him with all my heart because it feels easy to hate him, but everything that he is makes him so loveable. He's a top 10 genius in my eyes. Every album is a masterpiece."
The Killers - "When You Were Young"
"I'll die happy if I make a song this nostalgic and perfect. Also, The Killers felt pretty revolutionary, playing with gender norms from the perspective of a straight guy in mainstream."
Robyn - "Be Mine"
"MAJOR for me in high school, finding an indie dance-heavy sad queen. Icon forever."
Kanye West - "Monster (feat. Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Bon Iver & Jay-Z)"
"Another Kanye (because obviously) but this one is all about the introduction of Nicki. Every human alive knows her verse. Incredible song from a classic album."

My Herndon
Our Community Herndon
Our Community "Town of Herndon History"
To fully appreciate Herndon's unique charm, it's helpful to look back to its origins. In 1688, King Charles II of England granted five million acres, known as the Northern Neck, to Thomas Culpeper, second Baron Culpeper of Thoresway. A small portion of this immense grant became the land on which Herndon is located.
The first sign of settlement in Herndon was the construction in the early 19th century of a mill in a hollow along a stream near today's intersection of Elden and Locust Streets.
The coming of the railroad in the 1850s spurred Herndon's development. The village needed a name in order to establish a post office at the new railroad depot, built in 1857. Residents met and, according to legend, a survivor of the wreck of the S.S. Central America was present and recounted the heroism of the ship's commander, William Lewis Herndon, who had gone down with the ship. The impressed group decided that the new village would be named for Commander Herndon.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, the Union Army seized the railroad and secured it for their use as far as Vienna. Most of the remaining tracks and bridges were destroyed or damaged, but Herndon was spared. The only known Civil War activity in Herndon was a raid conducted on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 1863, by legendary Confederate Colonel John S. Mosby against a contingent of the First Vermont Cavalry posted at the Herndon Depot.
When the Town of Herndon was incorporated in 1879, it encompassed 4.25 square miles. The railroad defined the Town, with dairy farms located around Herndon shipping their milk daily to Washington for processing and distribution. The railroad also transported city dwellers looking for respite in the countryside, with several spacious summer houses appearing in Herndon.
A devastating fire on March 22, 1917, destroyed much of Herndon's downtown, including 16 businesses and two homes. The downtown was quickly rebuilt with structures made of brick instead of wood.
With the advent of cars, trucks and better roads, the railroad became less of a necessity for Herndon farmers and residents. The last big job for the railway was hauling sand to be used in the concrete mix for the runways at Washington Dulles International Airport. The last train left the Herndon Depot in August 1968.

Every year around this time you'll see them on most curbs – bags of leaves waiting for pick up by the bulk and brush trucks. Instead of sending these leaves to the landfill, you can recycle them at home, and turn them into a valuable soil amendment to put back onto your plants – leaf mold. You heard us right – leaf…mold…(though we prefer some important official organization rebrand it to "leaf gold").
So, leaf mold is an incredibly valuable type of compost to create and harvest back into your urban yard. Soil that has leaf mold added to it can hold moisture 50% better than those without it (think about how valuable this is in our hot Texas climate). It creates better soil tilth (fancy word for structure), and it helps to attract beneficial microbes (a wonderful cast of characters inside the soil that we can't see, but they are making magic at a microscopic level).
Leaf mold is created simply by decomposing leaves, aided by fungal activity that is created when water and oxygen are combined with the leaves. Here's the shorthand formula: leaves + water + oxygen + time = leaf mold.
· 14 inch bolt cutters or a combo pliers/snip tool.
· Roll of galvanized steel garden fencing material with 2x3 inch mesh opening.
Now, to build your bins, simply roll out the fencing (we walked on it) until you have your desired length to create the circumference of the bin. Use your tool to cut the piece twice (once, along the vertical; second, along the horizontal edge). This creates a simple hook action that will make this cylindrical marvel.
1. Add leaves. Water that layer of leaves.
2. Repeat step one until you reach the top of the bin.
Enjoy the step-by-step photos of how our team turned 2000 pounds of leaves from a community leaf drive into leaf mold bins. It sounds like a ton of work, but four ladies built all of this in four hours.
We hope you will try this, too, in your urban space. We'll keep you updated on the results of our leaf gold process and product as the year progresses.

Junior Dos Santos Through the Years
1 of 9 Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Getty Images
Junior Dos Santos made his UFC debut on Oct. 25, 2008, flattening the favored Fabricio Werdum with a vicious uppercut just 80 seconds into the fight to clinch Knockout of the Night honors.
The Dos Santos buzz continued to build when he needed just 54 seconds to knock out Stefan Struve at UFC 95 on Feb. 21, 2009.
Dos Santos kept streaking when he submitted Mirko Filipovic in the third round at UFC 103.
Dos Santos scored yet another first-round stoppage when he finished off Gilbert Yvel with a flurry of punches just 127 seconds into their UFC 108 showdown on Jan. 2, 2010.
UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones
The Brazilian native picked up his second career Knockout of the Night bonus when he starched Gabriel Gonzaga in the first round on March 21, 2010.
Dos Santos emerged as a bona fide contender to the UFC heavyweight title when he outpointed Roy Nelson unanimously at UFC 117 on Aug. 7, 2010. It marked the first time an opponent pushed Dos Santos the distance, though he clearly dominated the action.
When Dos Santos' title shot against Cain Velazquez was scuttled due to a Velazquez injury, the Brazilian stopped in as one of the coaches on TUF 13 and defeated Shane Carwin in the finale via unanimous decision.
UFC on Fox 1
Dos Santos needed just 64 seconds to knock out Cain Velazquez for the UFC heavyweight championship in the first-ever UFC card to be telecast on Fox. It marked Dos Santos' third career Knockout of the Night bonus.
When Alistair Overeem failed a pre-fight drug screening ahead of a much-ballyhooed heavyweight showdown with Dos Santos at UFC 146, the Brazilian fought Frank Mir instead -- and came through with a second-round knockout in his first defense of the UFC heavyweight title.

Session Review 2018 Urban Affairs
Session Review: Urban Affairs
May 15, 2018 admin	Sen. Justin Wayne, LB874 LB846 LB496 LB967 LB940 LB614 LB873 LB854 LB735 LB748 LB756 LB765 LB768 LB880 LB256 LB986
Urban Affairs Committee chairperson Sen. Justin Wayne
Economic development, tax-increment financing, vacant property concerns and updates to laws regarding the governing of municipalities were among the Urban Affairs topics taken up by lawmakers this session.
Tax-increment financing
Senators passed an extensive update to the state's TIF rules this session.
Introduced by the Urban Affairs Committee, LB874 is the result of an interim study to answer questions about the use of TIF that were raised in a 2016 report by the state auditor of public accounts.
Under a segment of the state's community development law, Nebraska municipalities are able to designate areas as substandard and blighted, allowing them to be redeveloped. When a redevelopment plan is approved, TIF bonds may be issued for the acquisition and improvement of the property. The increased property taxes generated by the improvements are used to pay for the financing of TIF projects.
LB874 makes changes to a wide range of reporting, audit and notice requirements for TIF projects as well as substantive changes. Among other provisions, LB874 authorizes the state auditor to audit a community redevelopment authority whenever the auditor believes it necessary, or when requested to do so by the governing body. The bill also prohibits proceeds from indebtedness incurred for a TIF project from being used to establish a revolving loan fund.
The bill incorporated a provision of LB846, introduced by Albion Sen. Tom Briese, which requires that findings commonly referred to as the "but for" test be documented in writing.
Lawmakers passed the bill 47-0.
As introduced by Gering Sen. John Stinner last session, LB496 would have authorized cities of the first and second class and villages to include the construction of single-family or multi-family housing as part of a redevelopment project eligible for TIF.
As amended this session, the bill is limited to rural communities—defined as any municipality in a county with fewer than 100,000 inhabitants—and workforce housing in areas with high unemployment and poverty rates within cities. It defines workforce housing as owner-occupied housing units that cost no more than $275,000 to build or rental housing units that cost no more than $200,000 to build.
LB496 requires a municipality to conduct a housing study, prepare an incentive plan for the construction of housing meant for new or existing workers and hold a public hearing on the plan. A public hearing on a workforce housing incentive plan must be separate from a public hearing on a TIF redevelopment plan.
After the hearing, the municipality is required to determine that the plan is necessary to prevent the spread of blight and substandard conditions within the municipality, will promote additional safe and suitable housing for people employed there and will not result in the unjust enrichment of any individual or company.
The bill passed on a vote of 35-8.
A bill that would have ended an aspect of TIF that allows inclusion of undeveloped vacant land for municipal development was indefinitely postponed by the committee on a 6-0 vote.
LB967, introduced by North Platte Sen. Mike Groene, would have removed a provision of community development law allowing undeveloped vacant land within a three-mile radius of the city limits to be acquired for redevelopment when it is not located in an area deemed blighted or substandard.
Grant limitations under the state's Civic and Community Center Financing Act are expanded under a bill passed this session.
LB940, introduced by Henderson Sen. Curt Friesen, increases by 50 percent the amount of funds eligible to be requested by municipalities and reduces from five to two years the period that a municipality must wait between grant awards.
The CCCF fund is supported by a turn-back of 30 percent of new state sales tax generated by arenas constructed under the Convention Center Facility Financing Assistance Act and the Sports Arena Facility Financing Assistance Act and retailers near the arenas. Grants from the fund are awarded to communities based on a project's readiness, financial support and likelihood of attracting new activity to Nebraska.
The bill expands the list of eligible CCCF properties to include parks and historic districts. It also clarifies that property receiving a grant under the CCCF Act must be owned by the municipality and cannot be sold within five years of receiving a grant.
Applications from municipalities that have not received grant funds within the last 10 years will be given priority by the state Department of Economic Development.
The bill passed 48-0 and took effect immediately.
One of the caps in the state's Local Option Municipal Economic Development Act was removed by a bill passed 47-0 this session.
Currently, a cap of four-tenths of one percent of a municipality's taxable valuation is placed on funds derived from local revenue sources that the municipality can use for approved economic development programs.
LB614, introduced last year by Omaha Sen. Justin Wayne, removes that cap. The bill leaves in place a second, flat-dollar spending cap and the possibility of voter-approved limitations on the municipality's economic development program.
Gov. Pete Ricketts vetoed an omnibus Urban Affairs measure that would have addressed a wide range of laws governing municipalities in Nebraska.
LB873, as introduced by the Urban Affairs Committee, would have made a variety of clean-up changes to state law related to the governing of cities, including clarifying terms and eliminating antiquated and unnecessary language.
The governor focused his objections on provisions included in the bill to expand land bank authority statewide. A land bank is a tax-exempt political subdivision that acquires, manages and develops vacant and tax-delinquent properties.
Originally introduced by Grand Island Sen. Dan Quick as LB854, the provisions would have allowed any Nebraska municipality to create a land bank under the Nebraska Municipal Land Bank Act and clarified that land banks may enter into agreements under the Interlocal Cooperation Act for the joint administration of multiple land banks.
Currently, only municipalities in Douglas and Sarpy counties are eligible under state law to create land banks.
Lawmakers passed the omnibus bill on a 26-15 vote April 18, the final day of the 2018 session.
In his veto message, the governor said land banks are unelected entities that create an additional layer of government vested with "exceptionally" broad powers—including the ability to issue debt without a vote of the people. He said expansion of those powers statewide is unnecessary.
LB873 included provisions of six additional bills:
• LB735, introduced by Bellevue Sen. Carol Blood, which would have clarified that municipalities have the authority to enter into an interlocal agreement with a county in which the extra-territorial zoning jurisdiction of the municipality is located to provide for joint and cooperative action to abate, remove or prevent nuisances within the ETJ;
• LB748, introduced by Lincoln Sen. Matt Hansen, which would have clarified references to municipal population thresholds, providing that such thresholds are met based on either the most recent federal decennial census or the most recent revised certified count by the U.S. Bureau of the Census;
• LB756, introduced by Lincoln Sen. Adam Morfeld, which would have prohibited municipalities from adopting or enforcing an ordinance or regulation that prohibits the use of a property as a short-term rental, unless necessary to protect public health and safety;
• LB765, introduced by the Urban Affairs Committee, which would have amended sections of law governing first class cities to clarify that they apply only to first class cities;
• LB768, introduced by Quick, which would have authorized first- and second-class cities and villages to make grants and loans under the Local Option Municipal Economic Development Act for early childhood infrastructure development; and
• LB880, introduced by Hansen, which would have required cities to include an early childhood element in their comprehensive plans no later than Jan. 1, 2022, either when adopting a new or updating an existing comprehensive plan.
Lawmakers passed a bill intended to help cities address the problem of vacant properties this session.
Under LB256, sponsored by Albion Sen. Tom Briese, a municipality may adopt an ordinance that allows it to identify and register vacant properties, collect fees to compensate for the public costs of property vacancy, plan for rehabilitation and encourage occupancy.
The bill does not apply to metropolitan- and primary-class cities. Currently, Omaha is the state's only metropolitan-class city and Lincoln is the only primary-class city.
A registry may include commercial or residential property and will apply only to buildings located within a city or village's corporate limits. An ordinance is required to exempt vacant properties that are advertised in good faith for sale or lease.
If adopted, a vacant property registration ordinance requires registration of a property vacant for 180 days or longer. An initial registration fee of no more than $250 for a residential property and $1,000 for a commercial property would be assessed. Supplemental fees are allowed and exemptions to the fee requirement may be provided.
Unpaid registration fees and fines will become a lien on the applicable property upon notice to the county. LB256 passed on a 47-0 vote.
Finally, lawmakers bracketed a proposal that would have given neighborhoods an additional avenue to pursue improvement projects.
LB986, sponsored by Hansen, would have authorized the development of neighborhood improvement districts in Nebraska. A municipality could have imposed an NID special assessment, with funds to be used only for a specific purpose.
A motion was offered during general file debate to bracket the bill until the end of session, which prevailed on 27-18 vote.

Built in 1774, Planks, pronounced locally as 'Plonks', has been demolished, but lay in the triangle created by the confluence of the Colne and Wessen rivers, in the centre of the village. The site is now occupied by Wessen Court.
Although the whole area was known as Planks, there was a separate alley which ran parallel to the houses, between Planks and the old church, called Golden Alley.
The houses on one side backed up against the river, where there were ash-pits. An area on the opposite bank, still there today, was set aside as a drying area. Planks covered Top o' Street, Roebuck Square (present site unknown).
The houses were all stone-built, 3 storeys, with weavers' windows. It was built for its entire length over a conduit, with a stone archway at the river end (east end). The origin of the name is a mystery.
Planks was demolished between 1935 and 1939.
There was a sweet shop at the top end, by Union Bridge. There may have been a pub called The Roebuck, and there was The Two Dutchmen and The White Hart on Towngate. The graveyard at the back of Planks was used for burials until 1852 The present graveyard was consecrated in 1857. The old church was then used as a warehouse. It was sold to a plumber, on condition that he cleared the site Stone pillars that supported the balcony in the church are now holding up a balcony at 18-22 Colne Crescent.
The Inhabitants
The population of Planks was mixed. There were those who had been Marsdeners for generations; men who had come to Marsden for work, met a Marsden girl and settled; and itinerant families, often working on the railway or canal.
In the early days, there were people working in all types of textiles - wool, cotton, silk. There was also a wide range of trades, and one woman is listed as a 'Keeper of a Mangle'! Many of the houses took in lodgers as a source of income.
One of the inhabitants of the Planks, William Schofield, was a prominent figure in the Methodist Chapel. He was born in 1820, and was apprenticed to a shoemaker. He became a Methodist in 1839. One source tells us that he was very fond of visiting 'pothouses' before he became a teetotal methodist. He became a coal merchant, and was well-known for his charitable deeds. He was a Sunday School Superintendent for 30 years. He co-founded the Temperance Society. His parents, Henry and Mary Schofield, had a grocery shop in Towngate.

By 1891 John and Martha are living with their daughter and son-in-law, Mary and Ben Gledhill and their daughter, Jane, unmarried and her two children aged 8 and 3.
James and Sarah Schofield nee Sykes aged 56 and 54 lived in Planks with their eight children. Joe, aged 15 and working as a nipper is Ivy Carter's father and Whitfield, their eldest son was Allan' s father.
William Schofield, 30 was living in Planks in 1851. He was a shoemaker married to Hannah also 30, a milliner. They had a son, James aged 4 at school. E.Irene Pearson writes eloquently about him in her book Marsden Through the Ages. P. 18,
'The life of an outstanding member of the Methodist community during the mid 1800' s is told in a book entitled William Schofield written by John Sykes. William was born on April 5th 1820, the youngest of five brothers. He was apprenticed to a shoemaker, and became a Methodist in 1839. At the age of 25 he married Hannah Scawthome. Shoe-making affected his health, so he became a coal merchant eventually.
His enthusiasm was such that he attended all the services and meetings during the week and always tried to live the christian life fully. He was an advocate for the rights of people and had a yearning for the poor, often denying himself to succour the needy. He sympathised with those in distress and willingly ministered relief. He never made customers feel uncomfortable when they were unable to pay for coal. He said 'They' 11 pay when they are able.' In 1854/55 when trade was bad, prices high for food and work scarce he refused to put up the price of coal. During the severe winter he sent a load of coal and some flour to a large poor family whose father was out of work and the mother did a bit of charing.
He was a Sunday School Superintendent for thirty years, capable of interesting children, interested in the welfare of the school, zealous and punctual and always one of those heading the Whitsuntide procession. He was also a member of the local board, a trustee of the Town School and, alongside with Mr. S. Hill, founded the Temperance Society in Marsden. His brother James, who had a greengrocers shop in Marsden, was also an enthusiastic member of the Methodists and gave generously to the Chapel financially.
William had to give up active service to the chapel owing to ill health at the age of 51. Throughout his life he believed in the prevailing power of prayer.'
However D.F.E.Sykes in his book History of the Colne Valley has something more to add. P.249,
'At one time he was addicted to the pot houses.'
He was a companion of William Alderson, mole catcher from Westmoreland who lodged with Henry and Mary Schofield,, Williams' s parents who had a grocery shop in Town Street. William Alderson is on the 1851 census, then a single man of 40, whereas William Schofield, at that time was 30 and, according to Irene Pearson, had converted to Methodism at the age of 19. Sykes adds that James was known as Jimmy o'th'shop. William died on 19.1.1881. He is buried in Marsden churchyard and his inscription indicates that at his death he was living on The Green. His wife, Hannah died 5.8.1897 and their son James died on 2.9.1925. They are both buried in Marsden.

The number of wives in paid employment is interesting. The normal pattern of female employment in the village seemed to be that single girls worked, almost without exception, but that very few did so after marriage. It is possible that the number of working wives can be seen as an indication of the poverty of an area. If this is true, then the relative poverty of the Planks area improved during the 1850's, by 14%.

The number of husband-wife families is low in Planks in 1871 - there were 8 households with no-one listed as 'wife'. The other noteworthy statistic is the number of 'outsiders' - mostly due to the railway, it would seem.

Secrets to a perfect gin and tonic
Topic: Recreation 3:52 am EDT, Jul 3, 2007
Don't be fooled: the gin and tonic may be many things, but easy it is not.
"It's a very simple drink, as is the martini," says London mixologist Jamie Walker, the global brand ambassador for Bombay Sapphire gin. "For that reason, it's very easy to get wrong."
Because there's so little that goes into this iconic drink — gin, tonic water, ice and perhaps a bit of lime — what really matters are good ingredients.

NPR : Spiffy: 'The Complete Calvin and Hobbes'
Topic: Recreation 11:01 pm EST, Nov 17, 2005
On Nov. 18, 1985, a new comic strip made its newspaper debut: Calvin and Hobbes. It featured a small boy wearing a pith helmet who announced that day that he was going to check his tiger trap. The boy was Calvin and the tiger snared in the last panel -- happily snacking on the bait -- was Hobbes.
For 10 years the duo captured the imaginations of adults and children alike. Then, in 1995, cartoonist Bill Watterson announced his retirement at the age of 37.
Now the definitive Calvin and Hobbes collection has been released. The three-volume set is fittingly called The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. It features every one of the 3,160 strips Watterson produced between 1985 and Dec. 31, 1995.
'This Is Your Life' Host Edwards Dies

Broadcasting pioneer Ralph Edwards, who spotlighted stars and ordinary people as host of the popular 1950s show "This Is Your Life," died Wednesday of heart failure. He was 92.
Edwards, whose career as producer and host included "Truth or Consequences" and "People's Court," died in his sleep in his West Hollywood home, publicist Justin Seremet said.
Meaningful Entry-Level License Privileges are Top Priority, ARRL Says:
The ARRL again has urged the FCC to provide meaningful operating privileges to entry-level Amateur Radio licensees, including access to HF, even if the Commission doesn't want to create a new license class. Commenting in response to the FCC's July 9 Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Order (NPRM&O) in WT Docket 05-235, the League also stood by its stance that the Commission retain the 5 WPM Morse code requirement for Amateur Extra applicants, but do away with it for General applicants.
"Retaining Morse telegraphy as a requirement for only the Amateur Extra class license, in ARRL's view, places Morse telegraphy in a proper, balanced perspective," the League told the Commission October 31, the deadline to comment in the proceeding.
LF Experimentation by Radio Amateurs Continues Quietly:
Experimentation by radio amateurs in the nether regions of the radio spectrum continues quietly and largely unnoticed outside of the LF community. Since the FCC turned down the ARRL's 1998 petition to create an Amateur Radio "sliver band" in the vicinity of 136 kHz, some US amateur licensees have obtained FCC Part 5 Experimental licenses to research the possibilities of LF, including transatlantic and transpacific propagation. A few hams in Canada have obtained special permission from Industry Canada to operate on LF using Amateur Radio call signs. The latest noteworthy accomplishment was a 137 kHz QSO http://www.w1tag.com/XDWQSO.htm October 29 between US Experimental licensees Laurence Howell, KL1X--operating as WD2XDW--and John Andrews, W1TAG--operating as WD2XES.
"This is the second two-way between US Experimental licensees in that frequency range, the first being a 25-mile CW contact between K2ORS/WD2XGJ and myself last year," said Andrews. The QSO between Andrews, in Massachusetts, and Howell, in Oklahoma, spanned some 1340 miles.


Summary: Eleanor is the new kid at Park's school; she dresses crazy and has big, red hair that makes her stand out in a crowd. On her first bus ride to school, Eleanor sits by Park who is agitated by having to share his seat. Slowly and beautifully, Eleanor and Park forge a friendship that leads to falling in love for the first time.
You forever and always will have me as a lifelong reader and fan of your work. Thank you for writing a book I will declare one of my favorite 2013 reads. Eleanor and Park completely and utterly absorbed me. Your writing is poetic, spot-on-descriptive, and made me want to cry because I could relate to every word you poured out.
From several glowing reviews I read before beginning your book, I was pretty sure it would be something I would love. I saw it described as "a cute love story" and "adorable." But you see, Rainbow, while those things are accurate, for someone like me your story was so much more than young love. I felt like pieces of your story could have been written (though not nearly as perfectly, of course) by me. I, too, fell in love with my husband at a young age (when I was 16). Your words made me tear up at some of the most innocent scenes because I understood how Eleanor felt about her body — her insecurities about her curves and having to wear the same Goodwill clothes over and over because her family just couldn't afford more.
I cringed when you made me remember what it was like to grow up in a home where friends weren't welcome to come over because our living conditions were less than ideal. I understood how it felt to put up a front and to not let people's comments (like Eleanor from her bullies) bother me because there were bigger, scarier things to worry about where my family was concerned. You explored these details so subtly, but for me, they stood out as if they were bolded and underlined.
What I feel most people will admire about your story is how Eleanor and Park so perfectly fall in love. Their love is sweet and innocent, but not without their fair share of complications to make it believable and realistic. Park has a few best friends who refuse to accept Eleanor. She has to lie about her whereabouts to her mom because her over-protective step-dad would flip if he knew she was spending time with a boy. But you know what I love most? The friendship that developed into more over time. It's real. It's not easy. They don't always understand each other, but they're gentle and kind and caring toward one another — falling in love despite (or maybe because of) their flaws.
All of this young love stuff? You got it so right. The slow build and trust issues were impeccably flawless. I held my breath for pages as you explored the meaningfulness of what holding hands for the first time with someone you're falling in love with feels like. The significance of locking eyes and with that boy when you're so used to having your eyes glued to the ground, trying to be as invisible as possible, is immeasurable. Eleanor may have thought Park was too good to be true, and Park may have feared that their relationship was temporary because we're taught that young love is fleeting, but Rainbow, you delivered a message that needs to be heard.
Sometimes, love saves our lives.
Please, please keep doing what you're doing and sharing your talent with us all. I may go broke pre-ordering copies of your books for all my friends, but for the sake of spreading your stories, I vow to continue doing so.
Summary: Fifteen year old Ever is obese. She chooses to undergo gastric bypass surgery, with the support of her family, to make a positive change in her life and to halt the voice inside her head, Skinny, from telling her she's not good enough.
Fifteen year old Ever weighs 302 pounds.
She hears the voice of Skinny who tells her she's not beautiful, she takes up too much space, no one could love her. After the death of her mother, Ever began eating to recall her favorite memories they had together, most of which involved delicious treats. Ever is afraid to lose that part of herself so she sneaks Snickers bars into the bathroom stall at lunch or bags of M&Ms to her bedroom after dinner.
After a conversation with her step-sister, Briella, and an embarrassing moment in front of the entire school, she revisits a website she randomly stalked where gastric bypass patients or soon-to-be patients shared their struggles. With the support of her family, Ever decides to undergo the surgery in hopes of losing the weight, which could mean Skinny's voice inside her head would finally go away, she might attract the attention of her long-lost best friend (Jackson) again, and she would maybe find the courage to try out for the school musical.
Ever's voice was authentic and so honest. Skinny whispers lies to Ever that feed her insecurities. I, even at 27, struggle with the little voice inside my head that tells me I'm not beautiful and I don't look good in my clothes. Skinny's voice was a real eye-opener for me because I saw how hard it was for Ever to distinguish the lies from the truth. Her insecurities led her to believe things about her peers that weren't true at all; it made her feel distanced, secluded, and so alone. I couldn't help but wonder how many times my own self-doubts have gotten in the way of meeting amazing people or doing something because I was afraid of embarrassing myself.
Ever's support system was pretty fantastic. Her best friend, Rat (yes, a so-very-unfortunate nickname), was a geeky boy who poured over the details of her surgery and did his best to make sure she was healing and progressing properly. He was by her side when she went under and when she got home with a chart to document her evolution. He creatively incorporated a way to tap into Ever's emotional state by having her select a Broadway song to match her mood each week.
Rat was one of my favorite people, but I also felt a pull toward Briella from the very first pages and hoped she was more than the judgmental girl Ever labeled her to be. Ever's dad was a tough cop, but I enjoyed his vulnerability and that the loss of his wife wasn't glossed over or made better by his remarriage. From Gigi (the crazy-haired girl in her drama class) to Jackson (her childhood crush) to Charlotte (the stepmother who didn't try to replace Ever's mom) – every character had their place.
I've been through the battle of seeing the scale go both up and down. Each time I'm working to lose weight, I have to get over the voice inside my head that says my work has all been for nothing, that there's been no physical change. Ever's weight loss is quite significant and despite her achievement, she has a hard time facing herself in the mirror. She's afraid to hope for the positive change (always afraid of failure). She struggles with the attention she gets from her peers (Does popular girl Whitney really care about her or does she just want to show off her charity case?) and she has a hard time letting go in drama class because for so long, she wanted to be invisible.
Ever's story is a beautiful demonstration about how weight loss (or body image issues, in general) aren't just about the external. The exterior is just a facade; it's the internal barriers and emotions that must be broken down to accept the change and move forward. It's not just about a number decreasing on the scale but also the belief that we are good enough, that we're worth it… that we're beautiful. Whether you're 15 or 45 years old, I believe Skinny will speak volumes to you.
