Sail Somewhere
Irene & Gary afloat
by SailSomewhere
Vicarious Living
A few days ago, a couple of loyal blog readers sent a message wondering why I had not posted in quite some time. They graciously said that they live vicariously through our adventures and the lack of updates had led to increased alcohol consumption on their part. I will not attempt to address the irony in that sentiment. Instead, I will simply express my gratitude to them for thinking of us, dust off the mildewing computer and take a stab at jotting down a few thoughts.
I am reminded of the final scene of an old movie called The Candidate. The entire plot of the movie consists of Robert Redford's character campaigning for the Senate. In that final scene after finally winning the election, he turns to his manager and asks "now what?" After years of scheming and months of travel, we are finally here in the Caribbean. So now what? It doesn't get much more paradise-ey than this. (Yes, I know that's not really a word). I guess it just seemed strange to write about what for all intents and purposes is now just a long, open-ended vacation.
With that in mind, here's what we've been up to. After arriving in Puerto Rico, we had the pleasure of hosting our great friend Silvia for several days. I mention this not only because having a guest aboard with whom to share the fun is one of our favorite things. It takes a special kind of person to spend their precious vacation time in the spartan accommodations offered on St. Somewhere. We sailed from Fajardo, Puerto Rico to Culebra in the Spanish Virgin Islands (not Spanish at all, actually part of Puerto Rico, a US commonwealth) and back and then spent a couple of days exploring Old San Juan. Much fun was had.
Speaking of friends, we have made quite a few – not always an easy task for us back in the real world. The generosity and kindness of many we have encountered along way astounds me. You're stuck in a marina without a car? I'll pick you up at six and we'll paint the town. You guys are new in town? Meet up with us later, we're having a barbeque. You're living on a boat? Stop by for a drink, I'd love to hear your stories. You're headed down island? Don't miss this favorite spot. We have been on the receiving end of some astonishing hospitality.
After the Spanish Virgins, we hoisted sail and made the short beat to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. For the first time, St. Somewhere crossed paths with the ghosts of charter vacations past, and we anchored in waters that had become familiar to us over the years. After only a couple of days, I got on an airplane for the first time in a long time and headed back to Colorado for what was supposed to be painful and expensive dental surgery. The good news was that the surgery wasn't necessary after all. The bad news is that I had to fly 3000 miles to find that out. The trip was not a wasted one though as I had an opportunity to catch up with old friends and do something radical and dangerous. For the first time in many years, I was all alone in an airplane. During this time, Irene was both captain and crew. She survived Carnival in St. Thomas anchored just a little too close to the party.
For the past couple of weeks, we have taken the opportunity to cruise at a leisurely pace what many sailors consider the greatest cruising grounds in the world. We have only scratched the surface. As a result our plan is to stay within just a few miles of here for the next six weeks, before hauling the boat out of the water for the worst of hurricane season.
We sailed to Peter Island, in the British Virgins and anchored a short swim from the steep white sand of a fabulous beach. As the afternoon turned to evening, the charter catamarans and the gaggles of snorkelers departed, leaving us alone with the gulls. The sun had mostly stayed away so looking across the Drake channel at Tortola a few miles distant reminded me of the clouds and haze of the Pacific Northwest. Looking to the east, my vista was filled with the towering cliff of Dead Chest Island. If not for the ocean surrounding it, the rock face would look at home high in the Colorado Rockies. In the foreground, the ocean swell from the south wrapped around the point at the entrance to the bay, breaking on the rocks and gently rocking the boat. If you've ever fallen asleep to a recording of wave sounds, it could have been recorded right here.
St. Somewhere lies at anchor in Ensenada Honda, Culebra, in the Spanish Virgin Islands. We are well protected against the relentless ocean swell and the trade winds are mitigated by the lush hills rising green around us. This safe harbor plays host to a few dozen sailboats as the wind continues to howl at over 20 knots. Once this morning's squalls pass, we will see what the island has to offer. Breakfast is in the air and we are in no particular hurry.
When we posted last, we had just arrived in Puerto Rico sporting a dead engine and a fuel tank full of salt water. Which brings to mind a conversation I had some time ago back in Florida with my friend Daniel, a marine mechanic. I was about to tackle the thankless task of removing some stubborn fuel injectors that appeared hopelessly seized in place. I asked if there was any special trick I might employ to my advantage. He grinned mischievously with a cigarillo between his teeth. "Tenacity" he said. "Don't let the machine win." Daniel is wise, but I think he secretly takes pleasure in watching boat owners suffer.
It is with that spirit of tenacity that I spent our first two days in Puerto Rico. After rigging up a spare fuel pump with every random mismatched piece of plumbing on board, we drained the boat's main fuel tank of the contaminated fuel. After much fiddling with a foam paint brush taped to a long stick, I had a relatively clean fuel tank. Note to all boat owners installing a new fuel tank: have the fabricator install a damn inspection port. A two-inch hole for the gas gauge is not sufficient. After flushing the fuel lines with clean diesel, and changing the filers again, it was time for the moment of truth.
Of course the motor didn't start. I called it a day and slept like the dead.
Morning comes too early and Irene and I resume our efforts. What else are we going to do? I bled and re-bled the system to no avail. I had little in my bag of tricks remaining. Except tenacity. I removed and replaced the electric lift pump in the hopes that might help. After all, who knows what kind of damage the salt water might have done? Another fuel system bleed later, I pushed the start button with high hopes. Rurhr-ruhr-ruhr… Nothing.
A couple of minutes of failed attempts later the engine's electric starter finally died.
I tenaciously began the process of replacing the starter, keenly aware that things were now more broken than when I started this repair project. For those who have never had the pleasure of working on a sailboat engine, I should take a moment to explain the general principles involved. What would take about 15 minutes to do on a car engine can take all damn day. The simplest tasks are thwarted by corroded bolts, poor design, too-small equipment spaces and the fact that the one bolt you need to loosen is impossible to reach without special tools and tiny Trump-sized hands. I have learned to hate boat engineers.
Armed with a few new cuts and bruises, I put the newly installed starter to the test. The engine fired and Irene actually shed a tear of joy. Mostly I just felt tired.
Now if I could just get that jib furler fixed.
And now, in no particular order, are some photos.
No, that's not a typo. Irene and I actually sailed 686 nautical miles over the past few days from Provodinciales, Turks and Caicos to Isla Palomino, Puerto Rico. These are sea miles, not the way a crow might fly. For non-nautical types, 686nm equals 789 statute (normal) miles. Our average speed was a little faster than a brisk walk. Perhaps this is not the most efficient way to see the world.
Conventional wisdom dictates that when sailing to the Caribbean, a yacht should make its eastward progress during a period of mild weather conditions. An engine is useful for this purpose, allowing motoring in relatively flat seas without excessive headwinds. Then once the vessel has reached the longitude of its destination, a turn to the south may be made, the sails set for a close reach and the prevailing trade winds can be used to sail south into the building winds and seas.
We got the first part right, mostly. We were only about one degree of longitude short of our goal when the seas began to build. It was a mild and sunny afternoon and we were performing the routine chore of pouring fuel from five gallon "jerry jugs" into St. Somewhere's fuel tank. The tank only holds enough diesel to motor for about 200 miles and we had already topped it off once this trip. With two gallons left to go, a surprise wave crashed over the bow, and a mini tidal wave rolled toward the deck-level fuel fill. In a panicked rush, I removed the jerry jug, got the funnel out of the way, covered the opening and replaced the cap. Irene slapped water over the side furiously but the damage was done. At least a gallon of engine-killing saltiness was now in the fuel tank. In a matter of seconds, our engine was out of commission.
For several hours, I made a valiant effort to fix it. I repeatedly drained the fuel/water separator. I changed (all three) fuel filters. I bled the fuel system. All I accomplished was proving that a hot engine compartment, diesel fumes, and building seas will make me lose my lunch in spectacular fashion. Further troubleshooting would have to wait until we weren't getting pummeled by waves the size of delivery trucks. Puerto Rico had just gotten a lot farther away.
For non-sailors, the idea of turning to the northeast in order to make progress to the south sounds counterproductive. The fact that it was the right thing to do under the circumstances didn't make it any more palatable. That one maneuver would cost us the better part of a day, but the lack of an engine left us with no better alternative. Also, delaying our progress by that day would mean that the wind would be more southerly (not good) and the seas would have an extra day to develop (also not good). All in all, this was proving to be a less than awesome development.
For the next couple of days, the Atlantic did it's indifferent best to provide us with an opportunity to prove that we actually knew what we were doing. I'm not going to oversell the story; it was not dangerous, but it was a little unnerving. Seas built to over eight feet, and the wind steadily increased. We reefed the sails down to a manageable size and strapped in. As usual, St. Somewhere galloped like a thoroughbred. Once you get her sails balanced and find the slot the boat just doesn't want to stop. I, on the other hand, would have been happy to spend the day in a recliner watching Netflix.
Sailing close to the wind in open water can be an exhilarating experience. For a couple of hours, that is. After that, the novelty of having to constantly brace yourself against the jarring and rocking while the boat heels at a 30-degree angle wears thin. In these conditions, our confortable, stable boat becomes a violent mechanical bull. As we encounter each wave, the boat shudders, it's momentum momentarily slowed. It groans and rolls over and through the wave and seems for an instant to glide effortlessly. A split second later we are accelerating and falling off the wave with a crash and a part of my mind still wonders if the thin fiberglass hull might just crack in half. I know better, but it sure makes a sound like it might. This happens every couple of seconds. For days.
A nearly full moon sets bright red, dawn still a couple of hours away. We make our approach into the harbor under starlight. We are greeted with the unmistakable scent of lush, damp earth as the lights of Puerto Rico fill the horizon. On cue, the seas begin to subside and we trim the sails without speaking. In time, we slow to a crawl seeking shelter behind the hills of a small island. At sunrise we snag a mooring ball just off the beach. We feel neither exhilaration nor relief. We are far too tired to feel much of anything just yet.
Southwest of the middle of nowhere
More than once I have casually mentioned that I had the technical wherewithal to post to the blog from the middle of the ocean. While I will save the journey to the literal middle of nowhere for sailors far heartier than me, I am actually kind of out there today. St. Somewhere is currently located at 20 degrees North latitude and 67 degrees west longitude. The closest piece of dry dirt is about 150 miles away, and our path to the east coast of Puerto Rico will cover over 200 more miles of open ocean. We are about 50 miles north of the Puerto Rico trench, a stretch of ocean about as deep as Mt. Everest is tall. Our progress is slowed as we sail against the Antigua current sweeping through the Atlantic basin towards North America.
Miraculously, the wind just filled in enough to start sailing in earnest. For what seems like an eternity, I've been sitting in the rumble seat as the overwhelming percentage of our power came from our diesel engine. Finally, we are heeled and slicing into the building seas, hearing only the rush of water and the familiar and reassuring creaks of the boat as she lands after each wave. The goal is to make another degree of longitude to the east before we can begin our southerly tack.
We are not alone out here. Three days ago, a pair of dolphins stopped by to say hello. I used to think that they only did the synchronized swimming trick at Sea World, but it turns out they are willing to perform for smaller audiences as well. They matched the boat's speed and direction and leapt out of the water a couple of feet in perfect unison. Just to make sure we saw, they repeated the feat a couple of times. The camera was out of reach, but what a marvelous sight.
Two nights ago I saw something straight out of a Bob Marley song: three little birds upon my doorstep. Late in the evening, a trio of hopelessly lost black gulls spent the night perched on our railing. One of them was kind of as asshole and tried to claim the boat for himself, squawking when the others tried to land. A truce was reached for the night and all departed at dawn to points unknown. Last night while I slept away the dog watch, fireflies of cool yellow bioluminescence glowed bright in the boat's wake as the moon set around three a.m. Not something you see in Breese, Illinois.
We have spied a couple of sailboats on the horizon traveling the opposite direction. Since I'm not a big fan of unsolicited phone calls, I chose not to bother them on the VHF radio. Cruise ships have cluttered the view occasionally as well. I said hi to one on the radio as she passed to the south carrying her cargo of sunburned revelers and generous buffet items. They break up the horizon in the distance, the size of skyscrapers laid on their sides.
To someone who has never sailed a passage, how we fill our days and nights is a little hard to explain. On one hand, there's not much to do — the autopilot minds the helm and it's possible to doze in the shade as the miles roll by. At the same time, there's always something that needs doing — trimming the sails, analyzing the weather, cooking the food. Systems to monitor include engine, electric and watermaker. It seems like there's always something to check. Our navigation strategy evolves as weather forecasts do. I try to be good about updating our position using the high frequency radio; I know that Mom tends to worry. The constant motion of the boat takes some getting used to. Unlike a local sail, there's no respite waiting at day's end. There's a rolling, pitching, yawing, never-endingness to it all.
As a look back on our brief couple of weeks in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), the highlight has to be diving the wall at West Caicos. I dove with Tim, our first stateside visitor of the journey. The dive boat moored in 50 feet of water over scattered coral heads. We swam west until the bottom dropped from beneath us, revealing a wall that doesn't hit bottom until a depth of 7000 feet. As the divemaster deadpanned, "don't forget to check your buoyancy." We shared the sea with shark, barracuda and moray eel, and I came within a couple of feet of catching a magnificent hawk's bill turtle. The TCI feature some gorgeous beaches, delicious conch, and friendly hosts.
It was also there that we parted ways with two boatloads of newfound friends. As they motored south to the Dominican Republic, we promised to reconnect as our travels south permit. I'm trying to make a point of staying in touch with other sailors we meet despite the vast distances this kind of journey involves. Yesterday, we spoke to some sailing friends on the high frequency radio who are anchored in The Caymans about 800 miles to the east. Someday we will sail together again.
If the wind holds, we will make our turn south around midnight. From there, it's only another 24 hours to Puerto Rico. The secluded anchorages of the Spanish Virgin Islands beckon. But, before I close I must take a moment to acknowledge one of my most loyal readers. By the time she reads this she will be 96 years old. Happy Birthday, Grandma.
Bring on the night
Embarrassingly, I wrote this over two weeks ago and forgot to post it. We're on the move again so more to come soon.
The sun is rising over a pale sea. The waters are settled and the wind that we had been craving all night has failed to make an appearance. Sometime you win, sometimes you lose. Sometimes you fire up the faithful old diesel and start driving. Last night was one of those nights. Not all bad since we made good time and the seas were never more than about four feet. Good sleeping conditions. The engine drones on and the only thing that keeps us from trusting the autopilot unattended is the occasional freighter. I set the alarm clock for a few minutes at a time to force myself to stand and scan the featureless horizon. The radar alarm sounds as soon as a ship gets close. Easy night watch. We decide that five hour shifts are better than shorter ones.
Not at all like the previous night. Then we had no wind, but also the bonus of seven foot seas breaking over the bow. Apparently the forward hatch wasn't secured as tight as it could have been. The expensive new guitar got a free, salt-water bath. A freighter couldn't tell which way we headed and countered our evasive turns by trying to steam right over us. A bright spotlight. Misunderstood words on the radio. Fitful sleep and dreams confused by the violent motion. No rhythm to the random movement of the boat. I rename the shoal near Acklins Island "the cocktail shaker." A scheduled radio check-in with a vessel a few miles ahead told us that we could expect more of the same.
We started this small jump by leaving Long Island, Bahamas right after sunrise. The wind built as we rounded the cliffs of Cape Santa Maria; we hoisted sail and sliced into the oncoming seas but the party did not last. Within hours, the wind died out and the crisp report of full sails was replaced by the growl of internal combustion. I console myself that this is a great test-run for the newly repaired diesel. Soon we realize that we are in for a long slog. Sloppy seas slap us about like a child's toy in a bathtub.
Dawn brings us close to an uninhabited Cay. We hide from the wind and seas behind her beaches. I sleep soundly as the sun bakes overhead. By dusk, all is calm and we press on. Another glorious night kept company by the stars rolling by.
As we close on the islands of the Turks and Caicos, I realize how lucky I am. A willingness to slow down to the ocean's rhythms means a life lived without schedule. I have a partner always willing to take the dog watch. I look forward to the next sunset. Darkness holds no mystery. Bring on the night.
Yesterday, I strapped on a diving mask, slipped my head into the ocean, and held my breath for just under three minutes. Physiologically, it turns out that humans are much better at this then I could have imagined; I hadn't even really begun to turn blue. Psychologically, it was two minutes and forty-five seconds of Zen. I floated motionless in the gently rolling waves and was as relaxed as I've ever been in my life — right up until the moment when my brain got in the way and screamed "I DON'T LIKE THIS!" Instead of pondering the situation further, I bolted out of the sea like a leaping manta ray and scared the hell out of my instructor.
She says that she had never seen anything quite like it. And she's a record-breaking freediver who has been training and teaching for years. One second, I'm floating in a relaxed position, doing well, responding correctly when prompted. The next second I was out of the water and had a look on my face that made her glad that I wasn't armed. She insightfully observed that I don't really know how to turn off my brain.
At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, you've really got to try this sometime. Until yesterday, I had never really been able to hold my breath well enough to even swim down a few feet and under the keel of the boat. Thus, learning to control my breathing and make a proper freedive entry might prove to be life-changing. I've been breathing air on this planet for over forty-five years. Apparently, I've been doing it all wrong.
We are anchored in Thompson Bay, Long Island for just a few hours more. Our stay here was brief, but much fun was had. New friends Ren, Ashley and Ani will be missed. But they are headed south to Grand Cayman and on to Honduras in the speedy trimaran Jade that is their home. They continue to pursue a life comfortably lived underwater and another freediving world record. As so often happens in this life, our paths must diverge. Our destination lies to the southeast, to Turks and Caicos and on to the Caribbean.
Today we will stage to an anchorage near Cape Santa Maria, the northernmost point of Long Island. Tomorrow, we will press on to Rum Cay and wait for a weather front to pass, giving us the wind we need to make our way a couple of hundred miles east and south. If all goes to plan, we will say farewell to The Bahamas and enjoy a sunset in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos on Friday.
We will sail in good company. Moorahme, a Stephens 47 ably helmed by Beth and Randy, is taking advantage of the same weather window. They're bigger and faster than St. Somewhere, so I expect them to save us a good spot in the anchorage in Provo. We will keep in touch on the long-range radio as we make our passage.

The Tale of the Silly Sailors
Once upon a time, there was a sailboat. This sailboat liked to romp and play in the wind and the open sea was her playground. When her sailors got tired, she would drop a sturdy anchor on a strong chain near an island and the sailors would rest. At anchor, the sailboat lived in a magical world of blue water and fish and beautiful sand beaches. She was a happy sailboat.
Then one day, the sailboat needed to stop at a dock for a day or two so that her sailors could repair her. The repairs were a success and all was well, but for no good reason, she didn't leave the dock and two days turned into three. And then the silly sailors on the sailboat wanted to stay for the Super Bowl party on day five. Next, the wind blew hard on day six, so why not stay a little longer? And by then the partying had started and friends were made and seven days turned into eight. Other boats came and went.
Some other boats at the dock learned that one of the silly sailors knew a little about how boats work. So the silly sailor spent time fixing the other boats. This got the silly sailor lots of free drinks. But this also made the sailboat jealous. One special boat with three hulls brought a giant tasty fish that was shared by all. More windy days. Nine days became ten and the silly sailors started to forget how to sail.
After ten days at the dock, the sailboat started to get sad, so the sailors gave her some new blue cabin top stripes to cheer her up. But the sailboat was still unhappy. She had become the saddest of all boats; she was now a "dock queen." But the wind still blew hard so the silly sailors drank rum and played with their new friends.
On day thirteen, the sailboat joyfully woke to the sound of her dock lines being untied. Her engine rumbled to life and she motored away from the dock. Her sails were hoisted and she leapt over the waves and bounded through the channel. But her sailors were still silly (and a little hung over) and they sailed like they had forgotten everything about sailing her. And then the wind got strong. Because the silly sailors had just foolishly broken some of the sailboat's very important rigging parts, they couldn't reef her sails. This made the sailors very wet and the silly sailors said some very bad words really loud.
Tired from this very short sail, the sailors dropped the anchor in a big harbor filled with lots of sailboats. They dutifully fixed the broken rigging parts and they felt silly for staying too long at the dock. They told the sailboat that they were sorry.
The next day they sailed to a new island they had never before seen. The sailboat, being a very good boat, gave them a wonderful sail. They played with the wind and sailed very fast and they anchored near some of their new friends.
The silly sailors learned a very important lesson. A sailed boat is a happy boat.
Boom Boom Pow
At the End of the Line


In a long-winded Ministerial Statement made to Parliament today, the Health Minister admitted the Royal Hobart Hospital redevelopment will be delayed until mid-2019.
The Liberals wasted the Parliament's time yet again today, reciting another Ministerial Statement. Minister Ferguson's statement was almost entirely self-congratulatory puff, hiding the RHH redevelopment delay in the very last page.
The Health Minister's comment that the possibility of a post-surgery patient being exposed to asbestos was "regrettable" is insulting.
Michael Ferguson came into office claiming he would "rescue the Royal". But under his watch, the Royal Hobart Hospital is physically falling to pieces and the building timeframe has blown out.
Our biggest working hospital is now a major worksite, and patients and staff are being exposed to risk.
Less than $1.3 million a year for illness prevention is a far cry from the "strong investment" Minister Ferguson promised.
Health Budget Crisis Looming, Where's Will?
The Tasmanian Budget is heading for crisis with an estimated $1.8 billion in Federal cuts to health beginning from 1 July next year. If these cuts aren't reversed, they'll devastate our public hospitals and health services.
The Liberals are back in government in Canberra. Premier Hodgman needs to seek an urgent meeting with the Prime Minister and fight to restore Tasmania's fair share of Federal health funding as he told Tasmanians he would after the first and second harsh Abbott budgets.
Read more about Health Budget Crisis Looming, Where's Will?
Health Minister Michael Ferguson is desperately trying to plug the problems in the health system by forking out a fortune on locums. Across Tasmania, 50% more has been spent this year than the same time last year.
Right to Information documents show the Health Department has so far spent $5.5 million more on locums across all hospitals this financial year, compared to the same period last year. If that trend continues, the spend could be over $7 million spent on locums by the end of June.
Health Minister, Michael Ferguson, has been flying patients to private hospitals in Victoria for routine surgery to try and reduce the elective waiting lists.
Instead of investing funds into Tasmanian public hospitals, Minister Ferguson has been paying private hospitals in Tasmania and interstate to conduct routine surgeries.
The Launceston General Hospital is in a serious situation after the dramatic loss of Emergency Department staff. Nine of eleven specialists and six senior nursing staff have resigned, retired or significantly reduced their hours.
This has been in the pipeline for months and Health Minister, Michael Ferguson, has done nothing to stop it.
Experienced staff, with a professional commitment to the health and wellbeing of the people of Launceston, have been pushed to their limits.


Tis' the season… for the LA Auto Show, a time and place where automakers flex their marketing budgets, roll out on the red carpet their 2019-2020 vehicle models, and hire celebrities to dance around them for a pay check. Meanwhile, auto journalists crowd the stages with cameras and keyboards ready to write our own version of "Who wore it best". But enough about that; let's get down to the business at hand, and tell you about the 2019 Mazda3 sedan and hatchback.
DESIGN: There is a split amongst auto journalists who say that the 2019 Mazda3 hatchback is either stunning…or a compact car with a little too much booty. They say that the 2019 Mazda3 sedan is dull and lost its shape. With that, I think both models look outstanding! I was not a fan of the current Mazda3 with its not-quite Coke bottle profile, which made the front end overhang look longer than the rest of the car.
This refreshed design looks like Mazda took a knife and smoothed out those curves, leaving much crisper lines. Seeing the details on the 2019 Mazda3 sedan will depend on the position of the sun, which means it will photograph well and never look that same twice. I love that Mazda went in this direction over the more dramatic sharp-edged designs that look to have been shaped with a carving knife.
The 2019 Mazda3 hatch is a charismatic-looking car with a curved hatch that may create a very noticeable blind spot with its large C-pillar. Admittedly, we won't know how bad the blind spot is until we get to drive it. Nevertheless, the symmetry of the design is gorgeous! The front end is in sync with the rest of the car, and in red it could fool someone into thinking it was an Alfa Romeo.
In recent years Mazda has perfected the art of minimalist chic. It reminds me of the first time you enter a hotel room. Everything is neatly made, organized, nothing out of place and makes anyone with OCD feel at ease. That's what Mazda does with their vehicles. They give you that feeling of clean, tightly sprung, and in order. And this makes more sense when you look at the 2019 Mazda3's interior.
The steering wheel looks thinner and sportier, as if it was taken from the MX-5. The dashboard is uncluttered, with just two dials and an 8.9 inch infotainment screen positioned at the top. Below is the gear shift, reportedly moved forward to give the driver a closer reach to and from the wheel, and there's a large dial used to control the infotainment screen. The steering wheel has buttons you would expect in 2019; audio, phone, cruise control, etc.
The seats, according to Mazda, are designed to support the spine, pelvis, thighs and rib cage. This is to allow both driver and passengers to use the same natural, subconscious head-balancing movements while riding in the car. The ergonomics of the 2019 Mazda3 was designed to take advantage of the human body's natural musculoskeletal function. All that means to me is that I'll be able to take the new Mazda3 across the country and not worry about back pain.
One new safety feature will be a driver-attention monitoring system that will use infrared to babysit a driver, and give sound warnings if it detects eyes wandering away from the road. I don't know if I like the sound of that. I don't want a car watching me all the time. It gives off a weird Orwellian vibe to it. One safety improvement I do like is that the 2019 Mazda3 will have knee airbags, giving the compact car a total of seven airbags!
ENGINES: The 2019 Mazda 3 will be sold globally, and Mazda still has not announced which engines will be available for the U.S. market. The 2.0 (155 horsepower) and 2.5 (184 horsepower) four=cylinders from 2018 are expected to transfer over at the start of 2019, when the Mazda3 is set to hit the showrooms. Both 6-speed automatic and 6-speed manual (YES!) are set to be available in 2019.
Will the new 2019 Mazda3 be available in the U.S market with i-Activ All Wheel-Drive? Mazda did not give an answer, nor if you can option AWD with a manual transmission. We don't know yet which engines will be available in the U.S, but Mazda did announce that it has five global engine options planned for the 2019 Mazda 3. These engines include SkyActiv-G four cylinder engines with 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 liter displacements, a 1.8 liter SkyActiv-D turbodiesel. Of those offered, the most notable option will be Mazda's all-new SkyActiv-X engine.
The SkyActiv-X is the latest tech in combustion from Mazda, and the Mazda3 will be the first production vehicle to showcase this new engine. What's innovated about this: it's a gasoline engine that burns fuel like a diesel engine to improve fuel economy, and will be paired with a M-Hybrid electric assist system. America might see this engine, but not until later in 2019.
FINAL THOUGHTS: I cannot wait to test drive the new Mazda3. The entire package of the vehicle looks exactly what the new Toyota Corolla needs to keep the competitive spirit in the hatchback market.

From W.E.B. Du Bois to the Panthers: A History of Black Americans in China
Black Americans have been developing connections with China since the 1930s, well before the founding of the People's Republic
By Alexandria S. Williams February 27, 2019
Home > Culture > From W.E.B. Du Bois to the Panthers: A History of Black Americans in China
The roots of Black Americans' relations with China run deep — those who have been recognized as friends of China, and shaped China's early understanding of the United States. This is a look at that early history.
Modern China had been introduced to the struggle of Black Americans through early translations of Uncle Tom's Cabin. These translations were not done based on words from the actual text, but were orated to writer Lin Shu, who then wrote his own interpretation. Because of this, scholars such as Keisha Brown hold the belief that the translation of Uncle Tom's Cabin portrayed Black suffering in a similar manner to that of China at the hands of Western colonialists. This put Black Americans under the category of oppressed people of color that were primed and ready for liberation. Lin Shu might have been on to something: during the early years of China's formation, Black Americans would provide numerous forms of support.
In fact, it was Black American singer and songwriter, Paul Robeson, who was responsible for introducing China's current national anthem, "March of the Volunteers" (aka "Qi Lai") to the United States. Robeson expressed support for China in its efforts against imperialism as early as the 1930s. Chinese intellectual and exile Liu Liangmo heard about Robeson's sympathies to China's resistance movement, and made contact, asking Robeson to sing a song about China's revolutionary movement. Robeson responded by asking Liu to sing a few songs to him, and was particularly drawn to "Qi Lai."
Weeks later, Robeson sang "Qi Lai" in West Harlem's Lewisohn Stadium. In 1941, Robeson recorded his rendition of "Qi Lai" for the gramophone, promising that the proceeds of the album would go towards China's resistance movement. He would go on to perform the anthem to stadium audiences in New York and Washington, D.C. throughout the 1940s.

Although Robeson was unable to come to China before his death, his wife Elesanda Goode Robeson would travel to China a mere two months before the Communist Revolution began. "Qi Lai" was ultimately designated the People's Republic of China (PRC)'s national anthem upon the Communists' victory in 1949, and was formally added to the PRC Constitution in 2004. Upon Robeson's death in 1981, a tribute was written in his honor in the Chinese government-backed national newspaper People's Daily, which called Robeson "a true friend to the people of [China]."
Black Americans continued to aid China after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took over in 1949. In the late 1950s, fostering connections with Black American leaders in the U.S. became a part of the CCP's internationalist strategy. Though Black Americans didn't have their own nation-state, the CCP saw it fitting to reach out directly to Black American internationalists who identified with their cause.

Writer and intellectual W.E.B Du Bois was an obvious choice. He had openly revealed himself to be an internationalist that was against colonialist and capitalist governments. Du Bois had been to China in 1936, when the nation was under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek. Upon his return, he spoke unfavorably about the treatment of Chinese people by European and Japanese troops, saying that it "reminded him of Mississippi."
He was invited back to China under Mao Zedong's leadership in 1959. While in China, Du Bois met with Mao, Zhou Enlai, Ding Xilin, and Chen Yi. When Du Bois died in 1963, he was honored by Mao Zedong as a friend of China.
Upon his return to China 1959, W.E.B. Du Bois spoke unfavorably about the treatment of Chinese people by European and Japanese troops, saying that it "reminded him of Mississippi"
Du Bois' presence in China inspired other Black intellectuals to visit the country. Among these were Robert F. Williams, former NAACP leader, advocate of armed resistance, and author of Negroes with Guns. After Williams was falsely accused of kidnapping in 1961, he fled the U.S. for Cuba with his family in tow. In 1965, Williams was offered asylum in China at the invitation of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. While in China, Robert F. Williams openly condemned the U.S.'s treatment of Black Americans, and introduced the idea of Black Power to the CCP, stating in 1966: "Black Power is the vehicle by which we hope to reach a stage wherein we can be proud Black people without the necessity of an apology for our non-Anglo-Saxon features. The dominant society in racist America is reactionary, imperialist, racist, and decadent and we wish to disassociate ourselves from it."

Robert F. Williams also crossed paths with other Black American exiles during his time in China, including Vicki Garvin, former Vice President Executive of the New York chapter of the National Negro Labor Council. Garvin's chapter had crumbled under pressure from the House Un-American Activities Committee. In 1960, facing increasing pressure from McCarthy Era policies, Garvin fled the U.S. for Nigeria, and spent the following years traveling throughout Africa to learn about Third World revolutions. Her work brought her in contact with the Chinese ambassador to Ghana, Huang Hua, whom she also introduced to Malcolm X.
In 1964, the Ambassador Huang invited Garvin to China, and W.E.B. Du Bois encouraged her to make the move. Vicki Garvin spent the next five years teaching English in Shanghai and establishing the Shanghai Foreign Language Institute's first course on Black American history.

Years later, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (aka the Black Panthers) would receive their own invite to China. The party's founding members had an ideology developed from that of the CCP. In particular, the Black Panthers championed grassroots liberation efforts and armed self-defense in Black communities. In the early years of the Black Panther Party, founding members Huey Newton and Bobby Seale sold Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong — better known as the Little Red Book — in the streets to earn money to purchase arms for the Black Panthers. They also aimed to "serve the people," as the CCP had, and set up a free school lunch program that drew inspiration from the CCP's People's Communes. These efforts would be the impetus for the free lunch programs that exist in American public schools to this day.

In 1971, Black Panther leaders Elaine Brown and Huey Newton were invited to China as a delegation. On the trip, the Panthers met with Zhou Enlai and stood in front of the CCP's Central Committee, petitioning them to "negotiate with… [then-president] Nixon for the freedom of the oppressed peoples of the world." The petition was formally accepted by Zhou Enlai. Huey Newton later revealed that he was offered political asylum while in Beijing, but declined, stating: "my struggle is in the United States."

Though Black Americans have been developing connections with China since before the founding of the PRC, memories of this history have faded in the decades since the United States normalized diplomatic relations with the PRC, beginning with Nixon's 1972 visit to Beijing. If you were to ask someone about Black figures that they recognize in China today, many would mention Stephon Marbury or Barack Obama rather than W.E.B. Du Bois or Huey Newton.
As China increases its stature on the international stage, it is important that we revisit and remember the history. As we recall the history and efforts of Black Americans this Black History Month, let's also remember the Black internationalists who helped shape early relationships with China, and early Chinese attitudes about America.

Q: Setting a struct equal to a value Let's say I have a struct with a field x that is also a struct (not a pointer to a struct).
If I say object.x = 0, what is actually happening under the hood?

A: I think it won't compile but i can't check at the moment but
object.x = {0};

Should initialize all fields to 0.
UPDATE
previous doesn't compile because this can be only done at declaration, but following is ok
object.X = (struct struct1) {0};

which is equivalent to
{
  struct struct1 temp = {0};
  object.X = temp;
}

A: You'll get a compile error.
error: incompatible types in assignment

You can't assign an int to a struct variable.

A: It will not work. You'II get an error of incompatible types, like this:

Chris Richards opened the scoring.
Monkton Swifts returned to the top of the table after this six-goal demolition against Clarbeston Road at Monkton Lane.
Swifts' manager Joe Lewis still isn't getting carried away as he told Telegraph Sport: "We played well today, and I'm just taking one game at a time.
The Swifts opened the scoring in the fifth minute, Chris Richards drilling a low drive into the bottom corner.
Ten minutes later and Jimmy Russell pounced from close range and the striker also struck the third on the 30 minute mark.
But before the interval Ben John headed home a corner to give Clarbie Road a glimmer of hope as they trailed 3-1 at half time.
In the 55th minute Jake Seaton headed in the fourth, then the Swifts' veterans got in on the scoring act. Defender Ben Nicholas struck an unstoppable shot that flew into the roof of the net for goal number five.
In the 85th minute Daniel Scourfield drilled in the sixth from the edge of the box, as the Swifts replaced Goodwick at the top of the table.
Monkton Swifts: Michael Murray, Ben Nicholas, Jake Seaton, Shaun Jones, Rhodri Davies, Blake James, Thomas Powell, Chris Richards, Dylan Davies, Ben Steele, James Russell. Subs: Ryan Griffiths, Nico Morrison, Daniel Scourfield.

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS
THE EL PASO COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY VOTES TO ENDORSE CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE ART FIERRO
As mentioned in our previous voter alert, the El Paso County Democratic Party has traditionally refrained from weighing in on non-partisan municipal races. However, in egregious cases, especially in this case when a candidate works against our community's values, we have taken the extraordinary step of alerting the public. Now with the runoff ahead of us, the County Executive Committee of the El Paso County Democratic party overwhelmingly voted to endorse and urge voters to support Art Fierro.
We were compelled on sending our first voter alert when Ms. Rodriguez violated campaign finance in a shameless manner - https://elpasomatters.org/2022/10/17/el-paso-city-rep-claudia-rodriguez-election-campaign-filings-may-violate-finance-laws/).
Since then, she has advocated against providing humanitarian support for migrants in our community and has become a Fox News and Newsmax regular. Her multiple appearances on the Republican's cable news network have focused on her personal grievances with the mayor. In doing so, she has brought a very negative spotlight to our community on a network that pushes xenophobia, misinformation, and conspiracy theories. El Paso is a community that has historically had a positive history of embracing our location in the US-Mexico and treating migrants with dignity.
Ms. Rodriguez also voted against supporting a Women's Commission for El Paso and voted against directing the El Paso Police department to make investigating abortions a low-level priority for the department. This measure would have prevented the El Paso Police Department from using its resources to target women who might have had an abortion.
While the other city council runoffs in December have candidates who consistently vote in the Democratic primaries, it is a well-known fact that Ms. Rodriguez has a history of voting in Republican Primaries. She currently represents and is running for a district that consistently votes for and elects Democratic candidates such as this November when Beto O' Rourke received 66% of the vote and Congresswoman Veronica Escobar received 65%.

The El Paso County Democratic Party is excited and welcome President Biden to the Sun City. With Congresswoman Escobar leading the visit, the President will have a first-hand look at this humanitaria

Man, 78, Arrested For Mooning Woman, 29, Who, For Some Reason, Rejected His Sexual Advances
After having his sexual advances rejected by a woman nearly 50 years his junior, a 78-year-old Texas man dropped trou and mooned the object of his desire, according to cops who arrested the septuagenarian for obscenity.
Police say that Robert Scott approached the 29-year-old woman Saturday afternoon outside a DoubleTree hotel in Kenner, Louisiana. Scott, seen at right, told the woman that she was attractive.
"You look like a model, we should go out. I can treat you real well," Scott told the woman, according to police. "No thank you, I have a boyfriend," the woman replied.
When the woman--who, cops say, was attending "a class for aspiring models" at the hotel--did not jump at the retiree's offer of a date, Scott instead suggested a "sugar daddy" arrangement. From there, Scott's overtures took on a sexual tone, as first reported by The Times-Picayune.
The offended woman responded by telling the elderly pickup artist to "Please get out of my face."
Scott did not handle the rejection well. Police allege that Scott unfastened his buckle and dropped his pants and underwear to the ground, introducing the victim to his not-so-super moon. "Okay, I'll get out of your face," said Scott, who allegedly exposed "his anus, buttocks, and part of his genitals" to the victim.
Scott--who was wearing a cowboy hat and blue jeans--was subsequently arrested outside the hotel and booked into the county jail on $5000 bond. He was released from custody yesterday due to overcrowding at the lockup.
It is unclear why Scott, a Houston resident, was in Kenner or if he was staying at the hotel.

When I first came to my school two years ago, the computer lab was a sad state of affairs. It had faded, torn paper on the bulletin boards, thousands of random staples in the walls, and nothing helpful for the kids hanging on the walls.
Last year, I decided to spruce it up. We don't have a computer teacher, so no one had taken ownership over the space. I started out by actually making a schedule for when teachers used the lab. Everyone had just used the same time year after year and no one knew when the lab was available. It was a little strange to me. I then removed all the weird staples in the walls, took down the gross paper, and put up bulletin borders. I also put up my PC Shortcuts.
There is a Mac version, as well.
Recently, I decided to do a little more around the lab. I asked one of the kindergarten teachers with really cute handwriting to write all the websites we use on the chalkboard with chalk markers.
She forgot the www. on many of them. Oops!
I used some labels in Schoolgirl Style's Chalkboard Rainbow set to make directions to label the different walls in the lab. I decided to label them with islands and how far away they are for us. Now, when I dismiss kids from their computers to line up and go back to the classroom, I say the direction or the island.
The middle row of the lab, I labeled with our island.
I also decided to number the computers. I just used little dot stickers I already had. When my kids type stories, they have to use the same computer each time and save their work to the desktop. Numbering the computers help them remember which one they used.
The last thing I did was create a Home row bulletin board. We do Typing Web to help teach correct typing skills, but the kids do forget where to rest their fingers.
For the title, I ran out of o's in those cute cut-out letters, so I turned two 9's into o's. It's not perfect, but it works.
You can check out my Home Row posters on TpT. Included are posters with the home row highlighted in yellow, in gray for black and white printing, or in blackline for printing on colored paper. My school only has black and white printers, so I printed mine on white cardstock. Also included are 3 different sizes of keyboards for display. I chose to print and display the biggest keyboard, since the board I put the display on was so large.
How is your computer lab? Do you have a media teacher or do teachers take care of the lab, like at my school?


Known as "Toy Tiger" during his days with the New York Islanders, Garry Howatt was like a bull terrier who'd take on any great dane or doberman in the league's kennel. Although he was small in size, he fought his way to 2,125 career penalty minutes.
While with the Islanders, Howatt was a third and fourth-line spark plug who helped his team to two of their four straight Stanley Cup victories before being traded to the Hartford Whalers in 1981. In New England, Howatt scored a career-high 50 points and was offered a long-term contract and the team's captaincy. But bad advice from some former teammates lead him to request a trade to New Jersey where, after squabbling with the team's management, he played only sporadically before ending his career with the Maine Mariners of the AHL.
"I'm not happy with what I accomplished in the NHL," he recounted, "because I felt that I could have played at least another three years? I should have listened to my wife. She was the one who said we shouldn't leave the Island when I did. And then she said we shouldn't leave Hartford when I did. So if I would have listened to her the first time, then who knows, I might have been with the Islanders, coaching or whatever. But it worked out for the best, and now -- my wife thinks she's the boss!"
Traded to Hartford by NY Islanders for Hartford's 5th round pick (Bob Caulfield) in 1983 NHL Draft, October 2, 1981. Traded to New Jersey by Hartford with Rick Meagher for Merlin Malinowski and the rights to Scott Fusco, October 15, 1982.

It's the month that Lawrence Zeegen and Caroline Roberts' epic Fifty Years of Illustration gets published by Lawrence King, a book filled with illustration classics such as Klaus Voormann's Revolver cover to Shepard Fairey's Hope poster. But if we telescoped down to 15 years and some thumbnail sketches of drivers and moments here are five ideas as to why illustration has got so popular since the late 90s.
Strangely enough the move away from photographic hyperrealism, heavily manipulated imagery that wasn't quite illustration, came from within illustration and was best captured in 1999 by illustrator Kate Gibb's playing with photography in her sleeve art for the Chemical Brothers album Surrender.
Toy Story gave adults permission to enjoy animation (illustration's close moving cousin).
The heady nostalgia of childhood, narrated through Buzz, Woody, Andy, Mr and Mrs Potato Head and the rest of the gang enabled mainstream adults to appreciate again visual forms they had long left behind, and freely submit to a vast well of sophisticated sentimentality. The whole Toy Story concept is still being squeezed for its bottomless emotional appeal in this ad for the 3 mobile network in the UK by Smith and Foulkes for Nexus Productions.
Toys and character art have become a whole business and design sector, explored by groups such as Pictoplasma and designers such as Kidrobot. And in the liquid forms of an illustrator like Alex Trochut, Toys really do take on a life on their own, even new life-forms with a candy-fuelled charm that also captures Bling's cartoonish exaggeration.
Nat Hunter formerly of the now defunct Airside, now Co-Director of Design at RSA once told me that Technology clients love commissioning illustration and animation because it makes potential customers less fearful and threatened by new technology. It's why when she was at Airside they wrote a feature article How To Do How To Movies, images by Malika Favre.
And a simple 'How-To' film by Wonky animation, shows how to use a SmartWatch aimed at people suffering with diabetes.
Illustration, as a primary tool of our socialization as toddlers, has been the medium of addressing fears, of visualizing socially acceptable behaviours and role models and of course a safety valve for picturing funny, socially taboo-breaking chaos.
So energy companies in the UK such as British Gas, ease in the customer who might not be so keen on using a new app (just because its different) for bills and monitoring energy usage.
Or Transport for London who are bringing a new kind of contactless payment, so commissioned Job, Joris and Marieke at Jelly London.
Or even UK bank TSB, which like most companies in the financial sector post-2008 credit have a negative halo simply because the perceived behaviour of large banks. These beautifully drawn animations from Studio AKA, with character design by Steve Small are both charming and funny. Two core features of illustration. I'm charmed, I laugh, job done.
Like the image below from Shotopop, the world of the virtual and the physical has become blurred, a scary thought for many, and for tech clients illustration seems to be the soft-landing for consumers in a fast-changing world.
What's quite remarkable over the last decade, perhaps even a shorter timespan, is how illustration as a kind of image-making, became the default visual signifier of creativity, especially for showcasing new technology, where the 'street' (the sensibility of skater culture and street art) is the living spark, the force that animates the code and steel of new technology. As in this piece commissioned by Intel and Vice magazine for their Creators Project – augmented drawing.
The flow of Illustration into different sectors has been astonishing, but this is partly because these sectors have been transformed by technology – by how products are being marketed differently and where the marketing needs to appear. So as well as having the "down-to-earth" flavours of the 'how to' communication, whether collage or the brands showing the performance of drawing has become a key tool for signalling luxury and craft. As in this piece for Swarovski showcasing the drawing of illustration duo Good Wives and Warriors.
Like the surface of this gorgeous image by Andy Bridge, scratched as he paints onto wood or metal. The handmade has always been a feature of a certain kind of luxury products, shift is in how the distressed and marked becomes a sign of taste.
In the age of information, in the age of being awash with information, it turned out illustrators were best placed to give some order to the chaos of unlimited data. One high profile moment was at the launch of The Guardian's new Berliner format in their G2 section. Supplement editor Ian Katz (now BBC Newsnight editor) commissioned Grundini (Peter Grundy and Tilly Northedge) to create an information graphic. As Peter Grundy suggested the limits of his ability to draw figuratively enabled him to simplify in quite sophisticated ways. "In a way I was simplifying things to make it possible for me to be able to draw them. In the end that simplification became the thing that people wanted. They liked the actual simplification." Information graphics really did become a 'thing' by the end of the decade, sparking popular debate about whether it expanded debate or simplified arguments.
Then of course was Cognitive Media's hand drawn accompaniment to the Royal Society of the Arts events, in particular Sir Ken Robinson's speech on Education.
It's viral popularity almost single-handedly put mapping conversations, meetings and live events on the map – so-to-speak.
But the strength of illustrators, whether through conceptual work or mapping, is the the fact that they dance to their own tune. An imagination that fuses the possible and the impossible, the material and immaterial, the conceptual and the narrative, beauty and beast.

iWe'll be posting pictures and such when we return. Back in London for one day then home. The drive across the Lakes District was pretty outstanding with acres of sheep and cows out standing in the vast fields. We stopped by a centuries old church for a last final comment against the graves and the buildings worn stones, and shrubbery. The caretaker popped out and gave us a whole history. I don't people stop there often. The inside was filled with Celtic stones, old stained glass, beautiful hundreds of years old handcrafted woodwork. Suzanne sand 'Shall We Gather By the River' at the pulpit, after a little coaxing. The guy was thrilled. He told us this was the church where Fletcher Christian was baptized as an infant. The reason, he explained, was that Christian, he of the mutiny on the Bounty, looked like he was going to die as a baby, so he was baptized on the day of his birth.
Off for one day of museums. Home, work, and editing next.
Well, we did it. I competed in the contest for the world's ugliest gurn and lost. I lose big. They sang me a special song from the American singer Johnny Cash. At that moment I knew I wouldn't be taking home a trophy. The only trophy winners were them's without teeth and born local. Tommy Mattinson took 1st place for the 15th time. Happy Hornell took 3rd. I got coaching from both - on camera.
We made headlines in the papers: "Americans seek to take the Crown". I was called the American Gurner". So we have a title for the film. The footage shot by Steve is mind blowing and the images by photographer Aad van Vliet are stunning. The intrepid journey is far from being about winning. The characters we met, you will not believe. These are the funniest warmest people this side of a Christopher Guest movie. Posting has been difficult, and there's much more to come - including images.
Looks like there is a schedule. Here it is.
Last hotel booked. I dreamed about this far last night because it's getting close. This time next week we will have traveled quite a ways be staying in Whitehaven conducted interviews and probably be in the middle of the one of the oddest competitions at a fair that has been around since the 1200's.
It seems unreal and impossible. But there it is. I'll try to keep posts up.

Box Beats Estimates With $78.7M In FQ3 Revenue, Boosts Full-Year Guidance, Shares Fall 4% — Update: Shares Now Up!
Alex Wilhelm	5 years
Update: Shares in Box are now up a fraction in after-hours trading. Investors are such fickle things.
Box, an enterprise collaboration and file management shop, reported its fiscal third quarter financial results today. The company lost $0.31 per share, using adjusted metrics, on revenue of $78.7 million.
Analysts had expected a $0.31 per-share loss, again using adjusted metrics, off $76.76 million in top line. Its shares up several points in regular trading, Box is down around 4 percent following its earnings beat as of the time of writing.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, Box's revenues grew by 38 percent. Using normal cost metrics, Box lost a stiffer $0.45 per share during the quarter.
The company's cash burn, and cash position are always notable. Here's the full whack:
Net cash used in operating activities in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 totaled $17.3 million, compared to $21.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and $19.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash were $244.0 million as of October 31, 2015, of which $29.1 million was restricted.
Box has previously stated that it does not anticipate a need to attract additional capital as it works towards profitability.
In its financial report, Box indicated that it expects top line of $81 to $82 million in its fiscal fourth quarter. Investors had, before the report, anticipated $80.82 million in revenue for the current period. The company also modestly raised its expected full fiscal year guidance to $299 million to $300 million, up, from $295 million, to $297 million.
Box also expects its non-GAAP operating margin to land at negative 46 percent in its current fiscal year, again a modest improvement on prior guidance.
What All That Means
Box did better than the street expected, beating on revenue, and meeting on profits. The company guided roughly in-line for the last quarter of its fiscal year, and also inched its guidance north for the full year. To see its shares fall as have at least initially, even if the swing is hardly fatal, seems to imply that the company remains in the woods when it comes to investor sentiment.
As a corporation, Box is often viewed as a bellwether of sorts. Its travails to IPO have been largely set aside now that it is a public firm. At the same time, the high burn, high growth model is perhaps less popular among investing classes than it was.
Still, as per the last few quarters, Box is doing precisely what it said it would do. Hard to get mad about that.

Seares: Sparing lawmakers from president's probe or ridicule: Just let justice apparatus work.
Pachico A. Seares
26 November 2020, 5:05 pm ·4 min read
PRESIDENTIAL Spokesman Harry Roque may have slipped metaphorically on a banana peel and fallen on his face in some Malacañang corridor when he talked of the law to explain why President Duterte cannot investigate or publicly shame senators and congressmen and congresswomen for corruption.
Names of local officials -- including retired police general and former Daanbantayan, Cebu mayor Vicente Loot -- and law enforcers and judges linked to illegal drugs were read in 2018 by the president on national media. But lawmakers who allegedly received kickbacks from contractors are being treated differently, it would seem. Roque said this week they wouldn't be investigated or scorned in public.
Harry Roque's defenses
Roque cited (a) the president's authority over officials and employees of the executive branch only and the independence of the legislature, and (b) the difficulty of proving corruption in the legislative branch.
Does separation of powers bar the president from investigating senators and House members for corruption? As chief enforcer of the law (who shall "execute its laws, do justice to every man"), the president shall direct the apparatus of arrest and prosecution against any official or employee of the government, whatever the branch to which he belongs. The basic requirement is only that due process of law must be observed.
Not above the law
Other than the few cases under which legislators and some judges cannot be questioned, arrested or prosecuted, except in the manner provided by the Constitution, senators and House members are just like other citizens: they are not above the law.
The grant to Congress the power to discipline its members is not a shield against accountability under the process of law enforcement and prosecution.
Roque seems to be offering the public a modified concept of immunity from the president's vaunted hawk-like scrutiny ("no wrongdoing can escape his detection") and low threshold of tolerance for graft ("a mere whiff of the scandal"). His idea of separation of powers must befuddle lawyers and law students who learned something else about it in law school.
Stain infects all
The executive department filed plunder charges against senators and House members for the P10-billion fraud on PDAF or pork barrel funds in 2013. Police, NBI and Department of Justice were tapped to arrest and prosecute Senator Leila de Lima, jailed since February 2017. No one has wailed about separation of powers. During any election campaign, no presidential wannabe says he will lick corruption but only in the executive department. A stain of corruption in any of its sections infects the entire government.
It borders on the absurd if the president, who oversees the law enforcers, must keep his hands off corruption in other sectors of government beyond his own executive branch.
It is his job to see to it that the laws are enforced, violations investigated, and culprits prosecuted anywhere in the country. During the election campaign, the wannabe-president doesn't promise to lick corruption only in the executive department.
The matter of evidence
In defending Duterte's move not to investigate or publicly scorn lawmakers, Roque said it is tough to prove corruption against members of Congress while it is much easier to gather evidence against police, PDEA agents, prosecutors, judges and mayors.
But then it was not strength or weakness of evidence that must have moved President Duterte to do the ritual of public shaming.
Many, if not most, of those named from the president's list were not charged before prosecutor or judge purportedly because there was "no probable cause" and not enough evidence against them. Case-building after the public accusation must have failed.
Substitute or inducement
The public shaming often became substitute punishment for a crime that prosecutors could not prove in court. Or was it just a ploy, if not a threat, to stop the suspected crime activity?
A number of those in the list turned up dead, apparent execution victims, or frightened to death when, critics allege, neither the case-building nor the public ridicule worked.
The public wouldn't want the suspect, official or employee of whichever department, stripped of civil liberties or denied equal protection of the law.
Public shaming -- in the form of a placard strung on the neck of a suspect at the public plaza or the president's threat to kill as the suspect's name is read on news platforms -- is punishment one can't find in the statutes.
It is cruel and unusual punishment in many societies, more so when not applied to special people, such as the lawmakers in Congress.

Home Costa Blanca Benidorm We'll Meet Again
Dame Vera: 'The Forces Sweetheart'
Community of Valencia
Province of Alicante
We'll Meet Again
LEADER EXCLUSIVE
Turning the clock back nearly three decades events organiser Tony Slater recalls the day Dame Vera Lynn didn't meet again – with thousands of her adoring fans in Benidorm left heartbroken.
"A provisional booking was made at Benidorm Palace for a Charity Aid concert in aid of ex-Service, with an offer of £10,000 arranged, along with accommodation for Dame Vera to perform," Tony told The Leader.
"At the time the Mayor of Benidorm sanctioned an open air parade and a Civic Reception," said Tony, former owner of Calpe Rock Shop, Alicante.
Dame Vera Lynn's disappoinment was confirmed, after a letter from her husband Harry Lewis was received, saying she was unable to attend the Charity event, due to commitments.
In the letter, dated 28th July, 1992, Dame Vera thanked Tony so much for the kind invitation – but unfortunately her commitments are such that it was not possible for her to help.
Dame Vera, known as 'The Forces Sweetheart' for performing concerts for troops during WW2, with favourite songs including 'We'll Meet Again', 'The White Cliffs of Dover' and 'There'll Always be an England'.
Dame Vera has devoted much of her life to charity work connected to ex-Service and is held in affection by veterans.
Made a Dame in 1975, amongst honours received are a WW2 medal (1939-45); Burma Star and OBE.
Dame Vera's husband Harry Lewis, who she married in 1941, died in 1998. Daughter Virginia, their only child, was born in March, 1946.
Speaking about husband, Harry Lewis, Dame Vera, who celebrates her 103rd birthday in March, said: "I still miss him – even after all these years."

Even after living in London for almost 15 years, I still feel awe of this magnificent city. There are so many wonderful buildings and quaint streets. There are many ways to see the city – walking tour, bus tour and even boat tours. Last weekend, my family and I got to experience the tour that combines bus and boat – London Duck Tours.
If you've never heard of a duck tour, The Ducks are amphibious vehicles. They were originally used in WWII, and are driven on land and then enter the water for some serious boating. Duck tours are not that serious. It is a 75-minute ride around some of the most iconic sights in London, including The London Eye, Parliament, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey. And it isn't just a ride. We had a fabulous tour guide, who was not only full of information, but he was hilarious. We all spent the tour constantly laughing and smiling.
One of the coolest things about the London Duck Tour is how happy people are to see us. Everyone kept waving at us, which made my son so happy. While we were stopped at one traffic light, a woman had her dog doing tricks for us. And when our duck went into the water – my son was thrilled. He was so excited to be on a bus/boat and has mentioned it loads since the weekend.
There were some road diversions when we went, so could not drive by Buckingham Palace. You can check on the London Duck Tours website to see if there will be any route changes when you plan to visit. You can also book your tour online, which I advise as the tours are quite popular. Tickets for a family of four cost £79. Have a look at my vlog below to see more of what a duck tour is like.
We were invited to experience Duck Tours for the purpose of this review. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
Fun! I've done the duck tour in Boston a few times, wish I had known about it when I lived in London.
It was really good fun. I'd love to try it in a different city/country!
Ive been meaning to do the duck tour since ive been in London, just haven't got round to it. i think you have just given me the extra push.
You should. It's quite cool – for adults and kids!
is there a recommended time of the year to go?
I think it's fun as long as it's dry. I don't think it needs to be sunny to be enjoyable.
