During the late 1960s and the 1970s, RAWNY was fortunate to have a club station – using the call W2PE – at the Salvation Army location on Main Street in downtown Buffalo. But an amazing turn of events occurred in 1976 when the City of Buffalo created a new Naval and Serviceman's Park/Museum right on the Buffalo waterfront where the Niagara River and Lake Erie meet.
In creating the museum, the park applied to the United States Navy for a decommissioned naval vessel. The Navy agreed and donated to the City of Buffalo the destroyer USS The Sullivans, and the Guided Missile Cruiser USS Little Rock followed in 1977. The Buffalo Naval & Military Park opened to the public in 1979.
In 1981, RAWNY's Board of Directors approached the Buffalo Naval Park on the possibility of using a room on board one of the vessels for a new club station. There, they would be able to demonstrate amateur radio to the public as part of the walk-through tours.
The park agreed that having an active amateur radio club on board a historic naval vessel was a great idea, so permission was granted to set up a station in a dedicated location on board USS Little Rock. To this day, RAWNY proudly maintains its club station, W2PE, on the Little Rock.
In 2002, RAWNY decided to make certain that the dedication and the advancement of amateur radio of one of its members was not forgotten as the club's station, W2PE, was named in honor of Clara Reger.
Clara was first licensed in 1933 with the call W8KYR at the age of 35. During this period of Amateur Radio history, New York was part of the "8" call area. She was part of a brother and sister amateur radio duo that was quite well known on the air. During the 1930s, Clara developed the CW signature that all young ladies used when sending a salutation at the end of their contacts – "33"; which meant "love sealed with friendship."
After World War 2, she managed disaster communications as an Appointed Official at the Red Cross station in Buffalo, NY. She was extremely proficient in CW and could copy in excess of 50 words per minute. She made it her goal to teach CW and radio electronics to anyone willing to learn it, and it was quite an honor to receive one of her "RUF and READY AWARD CERTIFICATES" – named after the call sign she received when New York became the "2" call area – W2RUF.
In 1961, Clara received the Edison Award for teaching a 14 year old boy how to send Morse code with his feet. He did not have arms. The Edison Award is given to honor excellence in new product and service development, marketing, human-centered design and innovation. Likewise in 1961, she was the recipient of the Outstanding Amateur Award for New York State. RAWNY was very fortunate to have such a dedicated member in Clara Reger.
RAWNY's club station, W2PE, serves as an ambassador to amateur radio where demonstrations, tours, classes, and of course, Field Day operations take place. Since the station is located right on the tour route of USS Little Rock, visitors are encouraged to stop in, view the station, and take a turn sending their name in Morse Code.
W2PE is on the air during the summer months with the station being manned by its many volunteer operators. Field Day, however, still remains RAWNY's biggest operating of the year.
Since the club station is located on a historic naval vessel, W2PE takes part in the annual Museum Ships on the Air event which is sponsored by the Battleship New Jersey Amateur Radio Station, NJ2BB.
During the past three years, RAWNY has been able to have a second station located on USS The Sullivans. From here, W2PE is active during Military holidays in addition to the Museum Ships event.

No, but I'd like to.
What is "remote control?"
Current Solar Conditions
What's important here is the K-Index, typically 0-9, and the SFI (Solar Flux Index), typically 50-300.
The lower the K, the quieter the atmosphere and the ham bands! However, the lower the SFI, the lower the MUF or Maximum Usable Frequency.
So, if for example, if you have a K of 1, nice and quiet, you might have a SFI of 50 which would mean that 20 meters might not be usable... The 'Calculated Conditions' section, above, summarizes this data and gives you a snapshot of what the band conditions should be when you are tuning around.

I was born in Madrid ago 38 years. Since childhood I was always tempted by the art and image in all its forms. Upon completion of the institute decided to access a famous school of photography in Madrid and made three years of photography and laboratory. I combine my photography work on leaving school with back to school, this time for picture and sound.
My background ranges from fashion photography to corporate and copyright. Teaching in Madrid local. Barcelo Hotels exposed my series of photos of Thailand at the Monastery of Boltaña.
Currently I am the creator of the project THE COMPANY, a photography studio multitasking, where dishes are shared and there are classes of Photography.
Beautiful. I did not know with an iPhone could do these photographs.
Rocío, many thanks for your words.
Manuel, thank you very much for your words.
The iPhone offers many variations and possibilities for photography, en The Company PhotoStudio, offer intensive courses in photography with Iphone also.
I love. Here is proof that a good photo depends not only on a good camera.


A top North Korean official who was credited as instrumental to the development of the nation's nuclear weapons and missiles program has died at 89.
Dr. Ju Kyu Chang passed away on Monday, North Korea's state-run KCNA news agency reported on Tuesday. The academic served as an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and as deputy to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Supreme People's Assembly. According to the news agency, he died of a blood disease.
"Ju Kyu Chang was a revolutionary soldier faithful to President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, a close revolutionary comrade-in-arms of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and an elder revolutionary who made [a] distinguished contribution to the strengthening of the country's defense capabilities. Although he passed away, his exploits for the Party, the revolution, the country and the people will remain long," an official North Korean obituary said.
The official previously served as a minister of the country's defense ministry and was tasked with overseeing the development of Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs. As a result, Ju was targeted in 2013, along with several other North Koreans, by non-proliferation sanctions from the U.S. Department of Treasury, according to Channel News Asia.
Ju graduated from North Korea's prestigious Kim Chaek University of Technology and went on to spend most of his career developing weapons. He is credited with being deeply involved in the development of the Unha-2 and Unha-3 rockets, which the country tested in 2009 and 2012 respectively, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported. In 2015, Ju stepped down and retired from his government work as part of a large-scale government reshuffle.
Despite being isolated internationally and struggling economically, North Korea has rapidly developed its nuclear capabilities in recent years. The country's first successful nuclear test took place in 2006, which has since been followed by five more, according to Agence France-Presse. Pyongyang has also rapidly developed its intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) technology, announcing last year that it was capable of attaching a nuclear weapon to an ICBM with a range that could reach the eastern U.S. seaboard.
In June, President Donald Trump met with North Korea's strongman leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore for a historic summit, during which Kim allegedly pledged to work toward the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. Since then, conflicting reports have suggested that Pyongyang may or may not be working toward that stated goal.
At the end of August, Trump canceled a follow-up visit by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to North Korea, arguing that China was interfering with progress toward denuclearization. However, in a phone conversation with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to denuclearization, The Korea Times reported. South Korean leaders will travel to Pyongyang this week in an effort to continue negotiations.

"This happens again" is unfortunately a reference to the consistent tragic shootings in Florida. The victims were playing football video games not baseball. Spirit said 'around' the 24th and its the 26th.
I had a visual of a baseball. "People being shot.. multiple shootings." I had a visual of a person who was shot, while others tried to help her. "This happens again." Then they said 'Anniversary or University.' the verbiage was very faint.
In about 20 minutes, which places it around the 24th.

So after my last winter Blah post I was actually able to come up with some decent winter wild life pics. To maximize those pictures I have split them up into 2 posts. That's right folks getting the most bang for my winter buck here. Unfortunately there are no bucks in these deer pictures. I had this group of does walk in front of me as I was leaving work (sadly I do have a regular job to pay the bills). The deer here are pretty used to people and vehicles so I was able to stop the truck get my camera out and set up. They did keep moving so that is why these are mostly shots of their backsides. Luckily though there were a couple hams in the group that stopped and looked at me to give me some good pictures.
softens into spring; all nature in this way passes, only to return.
Nice pictures – my wife would be going nuts over these.

Why No City Can Afford to Forget About Seniors
Richard Florida
Baby boomers aren't drawn to the same sorts of retirement communities their parents were.
Traditionally, mayors and economic developers have focused their efforts on making their communities great places for families, emphasizing good schools, up-to-date infrastructure, and low crime rates. Over the past decade or so, increasing attention has been paid to attracting younger talent. But one age group has factored much less in the conversation: older Americans.
10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day.
That makes little sense, especially given the size and wealth of this age cohort. America's median age is getting higher, fueled by the aging of its biggest demographic group, the baby boomers. Today, over a quarter of the American population, 81.5 million people, is between 45 and 65 years old, and 13 percent (40.2 million people) are 65 years or older. Ten thousand baby boomers will turn 65 every day through 2031.
This leads to several crucial lines of inquiry, many of which I'll be talking about in more depth this afternoon at the The Atlantic's "Generations" forum at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. But the most obvious question planners and community builders must now answer is: Where are today's older Americans going to be living? Here's one hint: fewer of them are moving to golf resorts in Florida, Arizona, and other Sun Belt centers than you might think. While many seniors prefer to, or are forced to, retire in place, significant numbers of them are mobile. They move less frequently than their younger counterparts, but Americans over the age of 65 are the most likely to move the farthest distances.
Last summer here on Cities, I wrote about a great map that charted this shift. As I noted at the time:
The biggest losses are in the Great Plains states of Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, western Oklahoma, and northern Texas, though people 65 and older are moving to metros like Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Houston, Austin, and Dallas. The East and West coasts are also attracting the 65 and older crowd.

In my book Who's Your City?, I divided our life-course into three big moves. The first occurs after college; the second not at the point of marriage, but when kids come into the picture. The third happens between ages of 45 and 65, when the kids leave home and we begin to approach the traditional age of retirement.
Baby boomers aren't drawn to the same sorts of retirement communities their parents were. With their greater wealth, higher levels of education, and more active lifestyles, many of them are attracted to big cities, and for many of the same reasons that young people are: opportunity and the benefits that come along with density.
Whether by choice or necessity, many baby boomers are still working, and many will continue to work into their so-called golden years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers 55 and older will make up almost a quarter of the labor force by 2018. The number of workers 75 and older has skyrocketed by 76.7 percent in the past two decades, according to research by the AARP Public Policy Institute.
Urban centers have grown substantially in appeal. "After years of raising kids and taking care of large houses, an increasing share of this demographic is interested in downsizing and returning to the hustle and bustle of urban neighborhoods," I wrote in Who's Your City?. Cities provide spaces where they can also indulge post-work passions — a second career, perhaps, or a newly-adopted sport or hobby. An increasing trend is to follow kids and grandkids to bigger city locations. Some have been recently re-singled, and are hoping to find new communities and opportunities for re-partnering.
Big cities provide access to work, amenities, and great medical care, walkable proximity to restaurants, museums, concert halls, parks, and universities with adult education courses. All are tremendous inducements to relocate from the comparative isolation of sprawl-oriented suburbs.
College towns are another increasingly popular choice, with their access to both health-care and diverse, intellectually-stimulating communities, often on a smaller and more affordable scale than in a major city.
Livability matters for quality of life and healthy aging.
Livability matters for quality of life and healthy aging. In a recent AARP report on the subject, Nancy LeaMond wrote that "residents of all ages benefit from safer, barrier-free buildings and streets; as well as from better access to local businesses and more greenspaces. A curb-cut designed for a wheelchair user also benefits a parent pushing a baby stroller. A crosswalk safe for a senior is a crosswalk safe for a child. A community that is friendly for an 80 year-old can be friendly for an 8 year-old—and everyone else in between."
In Who's Your City?, I rated and ranked destinations for the third big move, both for younger empty-nesters and retirees aged 65 and above. These rankings, developed by my colleague Kevin Stolarick, were based on a number of factors: the share of people in these age groups; local economic conditions; amenities such as golf courses, marinas and arts and culture; crime rate; access to and cost of high-quality health-care; and weather conditions. Stolarick compiled these rankings for 167 metropolitan regions across the United States: the 49 metros with more than a million people; the 46 with 500,000 to 1 million people; and the 72 regions with 250,000 to 500,000 people.
The top-ranked locations for empty nesters in the 45 to 64 age group were San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Minneapolis, and Hartford among large metros. Among medium-sized metros, Stamford, Connecticut; Portland, Maine; Madison, Wisconsin; Honolulu, Hawaii; and Rochester, New York ranked highest. The top-ranked locations among small metros were Boulder and Fort Collins, Colorado; Trenton, New Jersey (which includes Princeton), Santa Rosa, California; and Norwich, Connecticut.
The best locations for retirees age 65 and over were San Francisco, New York, Boston, San Jose, and Miami among large metros. Among medium-sized metros, Stamford, Palm Bay, Sarasota, Honolulu, and Ventura, California rank highest. Santa Barbara, Santa Rosa, Trenton, Port St. Lucie and Naples, Florida were the best smaller metros for this group.
Later today, I'll join my colleague Steve Clemons to discuss these demographic shifts, and much more, at The Atlantic's "Conversation on Generations."

NEWS: PRESS RELEASE: CONCERNS ABOUT HOMELESSNESS, INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE RISE
Posted June 17th, 2019

Concerns About Homelessness, Infrastructure On The Rise;
General Business Outlook Wanes
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (June 17, 2019) – The 11th annual poll of Los Angeles County Business Federation (BizFed) shows that business owners share the same concerns that most Californians have around homelessness and crumbling infrastructure. The general business outlook has also dipped for the first time in four years, with caution up and optimism slowed.
Homelessness is the fastest rising concern for business owners.
In the list of top concerns, homelessness saw the biggest jump from last year's poll, reaching the #3 spot this year after peaking at #9 in 2018. It was cited by 24% of respondents as one reason why businesses and jobs are moving out of Los Angeles and California. Only 10% of respondents countywide are satisfied in the way local government is reducing the number of homelessness.
When asked about their satisfaction with their local government's performance on a number of issues, business owners were most disappointed with housing affordability and homelessness. 90% of business owners said they were dissatisfied with their local government's performance on reducing homelessness, while 94% cited housing affordability as the area were local government is performing the worst.
Pathways out of poverty identified as technical training and child care.
LA County has the highest poverty rate of any California County, according to Stanford's CA Poverty Measure. In 2018, BizFed announced an initiative to lift 1 million people out of poverty in LA County by 2028. In this year's poll, 66% of business leaders identified "career technical training and industry specific apprenticeships" as the best way to address poverty in LA. 38% pointed to increased childcare options for working families.
Roads and Freeways in dire need of repair in order for business to grow.
66% of respondents said roads and streets are the infrastructure that need attention most critically in Los Angeles County, followed by highways and freeways at 55%. Technology and communications rounded out the top three at 29%. Street repairs were cited as the number one infrastructure investment that would help LA businesses grow. With their major concerns about transportation infrastructure, it's easy to see why three times as many respondents (59% vs. 18%) said they oppose Governor Newsom's proposal to withhold Gas Tax funds from cities who don't meet their housing goals.
Business Optimism lowest in four years.
34% of poll takers forecasted significant or slightly better business outlook for 2019. This is a sharp drop over the last three years. Since 2016, positive business outlook figures have been in the mid-60%. The number of business owners who say they expect growth to be flat this year has doubled from 22% in 2018 to 46% in 2019.
Threat of split roll causes nearly half of business owners to consider leaving CA
Taxes and fees remain the number one concern of business owners in California for 9 years straight. They are particularly concerned with proposed changes to Proposition 13, which would increase property taxes for industrial and commercial lands. A ballot initiative has already qualified for the November 2020 ballot, causing 40% of survey respondents to say that if passed, it may cause them to consider relocating their business outside of the state. 35% of business owners said that if the initiative passes, it may cause them to consider cutting payroll expenses.
80% of respondents blame high taxes and fees for businesses leaving in California already, far beyond the 59% who cited the state's rapidly changing regulatory environment. Traffic congestion/transportation and housing costs are cited as the 3rd and 4th reasons that businesses leave the state, respectively.
"The recent failure of Measure EE in Los Angeles proves that voters are starting to feel the same frustration that business owners have" said Tracy Hernandez, BizFed's Founding CEO. "When our elected officials are not good stewards of public resources, it seems the first thing they do is turn to property owners to raise funds. But increasing taxes on homeowners only makes housing more expensive and less attainable. Raising taxes for business means they can't invest that money in their workforce, and it increases costs for customers. "
"California is an important marketplace but it's not like businesses don't have other options," points out BizFed Board Chair Steve Bullock. "We've seen many major employers move to Texas, Florida, Virginia – the taxes are lower not just for their businesses, but for their employees. Their employees find that housing is more attainable, and traffic is less soul crushing in places that have growing economies and well performing schools."
Most and Least Business Friendly Cities for 2019
Santa Clarita, the City of Industry, and Torrance were selected as the most business friendly of LA County's 88 cities. The Cities of Los Angeles and Santa Monica were for the second year in a row to be the least business friendly cities, followed by Carson.

Vivien Orbach Smith with her parents Larry "Lothar" and Ruth Orbach, both natives of Berlin, Germany, at her NYU college graduation. Larry Orbach survived Auschwitz and a death march to Buchenwald.
At first, Vivien Orbach-Smith wasn't sure she wanted to know the vexing details about what her father, Larry "Lothar" Orbach, had endured during the Holocaust, but in deciding to coauthor his memoir in 1996, she chose to tell the story of one man who survived.
The NYU journalism adjunct professor and alumna, whose parents are both survivors of the Holocaust, has devoted her life's work to furthering the stories that surround the tragedy. On the day after Holocaust Remembrance Day, she recalled her father's life and the legacy of survivors.
But even with visible confirmation of what had occurred surrounding them, Orbach-Smith shared that there was still hesitance to discuss the atrocities to their community.
But in recent decades, things took a shift, which many, including Orbach-Smith, attest to the need to tell the stories while they can.
According to the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the youngest survivors today are said to be 73 years old.
NYU students Daniella Panitch and Ari Spitzer may be part of the last generation who will get their education of the Holocaust firsthand.
Panitch is a member of the Bronfman Center, a Jewish student life organization at NYU. But even with direct exposure and involvement in Jewish culture and education, Panitch feels obligated to further the message of her ancestors.
One of those stories was voiced by Elie Wiesel, a survivor and fervent voice in the Jewish community, who died at the age of 87 in July 2016. For 22-year-old Spitzer, Wiesel embodied the message of survivors of the Holocaust. And now that he's gone, Spitzer says its up to him and his generation to carry this message so that moment in history is never repeated.
For Orbach-Smith, another worry lies in the recent rise of anti-Semitic rhetoric and white supremacy, especially once there are no living survivors to represent the result of the bombast.
But the now-grandmother believes that continued storytelling and empathy from future generations will help combat prejudice and repeated history.
"Time plays a role here in remembering tragedies more than anything else," Orbach-Smith said.

Q: Chart.js - different height for X & Y axis? I have a dynamic chart where using filters, data either comes in or leaves the chart.
Some of my X axis labels are pretty....... long. :) Mostly they fit within the 400px chart but the ones that are very long don't and get truncated.
So currently I have solved that by simply adjusting the chart height itself, so that it fits pretty much any X axis label no matter how short or long it is.
But I've noticed, that with the height change the overall height of the bars (well, the height of everything that's above the X axis labels) also changed, so this means that if a user adds a content to the chart which has a long X axis label, they will get this content in, however the rest of the content that's already in there will visually increase its size.
Is it possible to set a different height for the main part of the chart and for the X axis labels?
Thanks.

Gramercy Park Goes to the Dogs at Annual Canine Parade
By Mary Johnson |&nbspSeptember 19, 2011 6:58am
@mjohns422
GRAMERCY — Gramercy Park went to the dogs on Saturday, and the tony neighborhood pulled out all the stops to give an occasion for its four-legged residents an appropriately swanky style.
The Canine Comedy Parade, an annual event hosted by the Gramercy Neighborhood Associates, filled Gramercy Park West with pooches large and small. Vendors set up booths advertising organic treats and dog photography and portraits that cost as much as $4,500.
A luxury dog day care and hotel called Wiggly Pups brought along its Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II, used to chauffeur clients to and from the East 22nd Street facility.
Many dogs came dressed to impress. Some sashayed in tight-fitting skirts. A few wore sweaters to fight the early fall chill. Several came in costume, while others opted to arrive au naturel, sporting simple collars instead of statement-making ensembles.
The pups mingled, sniffed and snagged a few free treats, but the main attraction—at least for their owners—was a red carpet catwalk — made of plastic in case of any accidents.
At stake for the dogs working the runway were several prizes from dog and cat boutique Canis Minor and, of course, the title of "Best in Show."
"We're hoping for a big win," said Debbie Fleischer looking down at her four-year-old Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix Wayne Woodrow Hayes.
The dog, called Woody for short, is named after an Ohio State University football coach, Fleischer said.
She contemplated outfitting Woody entirely in Ohio State gear on Saturday. The dog has an Ohio State hoodie, leash and raincoat, among other accessories. Instead, she picked a pair of bat wings from a collection of dog clothing that includes a crab outfit and a Santa suit.
The cost to enter a pooch in the contest was $5. With that fee came a green "participant" ribbon and the chance to strut down a runway ringed with photographers and cooing onlookers.
Lisa Anastasi didn't have any cash with her on Saturday, leaving her three-year-old beagle Rebel to stand on the sidelines. But Rebel didn't seem to mind, as he gave Anastasi a couple of high-fives in exchange for treats.
"He's a naked dog and doesn't like to wear a costume anyway," Anastasi said.
For Molly, a blogging five-year-old pit bull rescue, Saturday marked her fourth time walking the runway at the Canine Comedy Parade, which has been going on for at least 10 years, organizers said.
"We had to come here so she would have something to blog about today," said owner Hal Cohen.
Cohen said the blog has been up and running since 2007, but some days are less exciting for Molly than others. The fashion show promised to break the monotony of posts about Molly eating, napping and peeing.
Cohen adopted Molly four years ago after the pooch was rescued from a dog-fighting ring. Molly was a breeding dog, and by the age of seven months, she had already delivered a litter of puppies.
"But happy ending," Cohen said. "I've got the greatest dog in the world."
As the fashion show got under way, pups began making their way to the runway, sniffing their competitors as they waited their turn. But in the end, every dog that participated came out a winner.
Two comedians emceed the event and doled out certificates for "most likely to be owned by Snooki from the Jersey Shore," which went to a curly-haired pup in a tight, polka-dotted skirt, and "I don't need cable, my ears pick up everything," given to an almond-colored corgi.
Woody, the Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix, was dubbed "most likely to get a weekly mani and pedi," and a Shih Tzu strutting its stuff down the red plastic got the "Thank God the 'Cockapoo' came along so I don't have the most ridiculous breed name" award.
The "Best in Show" was the last dog to work its way down the runway, 10-year-old rescue Angel, who wore a Superman cape. Angel's owner, Joanie Watkins, matched, in knee-high red boots and a sequined Superwoman dress.
Angel has won lots of awards, Watkins said, but Saturday was a special occasion.
"It was his anniversary," said Watkins, who adopted Angel exactly nine years ago on Saturday. She called it his "re-birthday."
After the big win, Watkins was swarmed by photographers and dutifully posed for pictures, with Angel snuggled under her arm. The crowd then started to disperse, and smaller dogs, tuckered after all the excitement, were scooped up for the trek back home.
Marion Pearl, of Peter Cooper Village, cradled her three-year-old Havanese named Emmie in her arms after the fashion show concluded.
"She's a little overwhelmed," Pearl said, eyeing the pooped pooch.
But Saturday was a good day for Emmie. She walked the runway, and she won.
"She did," Pearl said, smiling down at her dog. "She got best smile."

What temp should bearing grease be able to take?
Thread: What temp should bearing grease be able to take?
I am curious about lubrication of bearings on a Probat. I have a link to a video showing the one I mean but I can't post links here. If you search "coffee roaster bearing grease" on YouTube it's the one from Wolff College of Coffee.
My question is: What temperature should a lubricant be able to withstand if it is going to be effective on those bearings and not run out or break down? What do you guys recommend?
I have been using Super Lube 41150 for quite some time now.
NSF rated H-1, approved for incidental food contact.
Temperature rated to 450F (232C), which should suffice.

begging to be a metaphor
June 29, 2008 marko 12 Comments
this "church on the move" video of a 100 year-old church being moved, complete with choir processional and all, is screaming metaphor. but i can't quite decide if it's a positive metaphor or a negative metaphor! ooh, i'm having conflicting metaphorical responses! to your corners, boys.

I'm going to say it's got more negative metaphorical issues than positive. Just the line "can't move without john deere power" is enough to catapult it into goofy negative land.
On a positive note…the video is actually pretty well made. I kinda dug the cinematography.
On a practical note…I would have totally been ticked if I was in a car going someplace and got stuck behind that thing AND the choir…all for some youtube video!
I gotta slow down. Honey, where's my medication?!
Pingback: NOELHEIKKINEN.com » Blog Archive » Church on the Move
Ok that was hilarious and actually really well put together. But on a metaphorical level it moved from the middle of nowhere to the middle of…nowhere.
Preserving the past, cautiously moving forward, landing in the middle of nowhere, all at considerable cost… yup, sounds a lot like the North American church.
tash says:
hilarious the whole piece. loved that it was part of the national geographic series, it will be interesting to see the actual doco aspect to it.
what amazes me is that the church moved whole. not a single 'deconstruction' in sight. how's that?
Ron Plumb says:
Wow! They moved it for safety but, leave it to Gods humor to strike it with lightening at its new spot. I guess then one could say they should've trusted in the Lord not a Deere.
Yeah, well done, but i think the ultimate finale would have been to have the thing tip over as they're rounding the final corner…i'm a fan of irony.
Scott Ball says:
I'm fan of remembering and preserving the past, but seriously? What was the point of all that?
Eric Couch says:
Um yeah, the church, a building that is moved for what? to reach more people? oh wait, its not the church building that reaches people, but the people that follow behind it. So its a church on the move, but what about the people?
tera kossow says:
It's a lot easier to think out of the box when we can move the box around! Of course, no one in the video had anything to say about the people… it was just a building. And the song… what a tragedy in the midst of this comedy! I guess using this to show the real feelings behind our church buildings as opposed to our lack of feelings about the congregations that inhabit them would be good.
My first impression was, "They're putting the cherry on top of the Great Commission."
And I have to agree with many other comments: it didn't move anywhere. The focus on the church building moving, though, may have been the only way to get those in the Church moving.
Check mark for evangelism, check from John Deere.
Tony Myles says:
Man – did this bring back memories of a time when we moved a house in a small town church I once served in. A big store (Meijer) was going into a piece of land and had to demolish an existing house. We asked for it (to use as staff offices and a counseling center) and had to move it across town. We did the walk – no choirs – but we did the walk.
The best part? There was this one squinty guy with a toothpick out the side of his mouth who'd occasionally wave his pinky finger one way or the other to tell the guy driving the truck which way to go.
Yes – a squinty guy…
with a toothpick out the side of his mouth…
waving his pinky finger.

The Nokia 515
Nokia has unveiled the Nokia 515, a premium mobile phone made with style-conscious people in mind. Wrapped in lightweight aluminium, the device combines the best of Nokia - contemporary design, high quality materials and top performance. The Nokia 515 is available in single and Easy Swap Dual-SIM variants.
The Nokia 515 reflects Nokia's approach to design, focused on simplicity, purity and craft. It features scratch resistant Gorilla Glass 2, gently curved for a beautiful finish, and a classic highly polished camera bezel. Available in black or white, the phone's elegant profile and aluminium body is perfect for style minimalists. At only 11 mm thick, the Nokia 515 will slide beautifully into the smallest pocket or bag.
"When designing the Nokia 515 we set out to create a beautifully designed phone that people will be proud to own," said Peter Griffith, Head of Mobile Phones Industrial Design at Nokia. "We believe we've achieved that - the Nokia 515 is designed for people who prefer classic design, crafted to perfection and with the functionality they need for everyday use. We have created something that performs stunningly, without compromise."
Capture and share great images every time
The Nokia 515 ensures people will never miss a photo-worthy moment. With smarter imaging features and a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, the smart camera offers a choice of image capture, editing and sharing options, including:
● Panorama - for wide-angle shots, including group photos and landscapes.
● Sequential shots - capture up to five frames in a row with just one click, then choose the best of the series.
● Self-portrait - for perfectly-centred self-portraits, even without a front-facing camera. The built-in voice prompt guides people to ensure they are in the frame before taking the shot.
Sharing photos with friends and family is quick and easy with the ability to share straight from the gallery to social networks. People can also share photos and other content using Nokia's exclusive Slam, which comes built into the Nokia 515 and works by transferring content such as images or contact cards to an adjacent Bluetooth-enabled phone in just a few simple clicks, without the need to pair devices.
Faster, better performance for work and play
The Nokia 515 delivers a fast, 3.5G HSDPA Internet experience. It comes with a standby time of up to 38 days in the single SIM version, making the phone perfect for balancing work and play. With optimised HSDPA internet built-in and data cloud compression, mobile browsing is made up to 90 percent more efficient, helping people get more from their data plan. Popular apps like Facebook, Twitter and Nimbuzz are preloaded on the phone, while Mail for Exchange allows people to check work email and sync their calendars and contacts on-the-go. It can also be connected to a PC or laptop and used as a modem via a USB cable.
The new phone also comes with HD voice, which means people can enjoy crystal clear audio, even in noisy environments. Plus, with the pre-installed Transfer app, they can sync contacts directly from a Lumia, other Windows Phone 8 smartphone or Android device, transforming the Nokia 515 into the ideal secondary or companion device for on the go. For those who prefer to use a separate phone for voice calls, the Nokia 515 uses the same micro SIM card as typical smartphones, making it a great voice companion device.
"Feature phones still make up one half of global handset sales," said Simon Baker, Program Manager, Mobile Handsets CEMA at IDC. "There is room in the market for a range of feature phone models. Nokia is one of the few handset manufacturers continuing to pursue the area: one of its latest offerings, the new Nokia 515 offers a stylish and robust exterior and features fast connectivity, high quality imaging and access to popular applications. It's a great example of a phone which will serve an audience which does not always need the complexity that a smartphone may bring, or which may prefer to do its browsing and emailing on a larger tablet device and will retain a handy mobile phone for straightforward calls and for texting."
The Nokia 515 starts to roll out globally in September, starting in Russia, Germany, Switzerland and Poland.

This month has been dubbed 'Veganuary', as for the duration of January, more and more people are being encouraged to adopt a vegan lifestyle.
It's not just an ethical choice, as promoters cite a range of motivating factors including reducing animal suffering, improving health and tackling climate change.
Food is the first step for most people, not only cutting out meat, but also other animal-derived products like dairy and honey, in favour of purely plant-derived flavour ingredients.
But flavour and smell are closely related – not only in food, but in other fragranced products too – and that means vegan aroma ingredients are becoming an important part of the market.
In the cosmetics industry, for example, consumers increasingly expect more than just a claim that a product is not tested on animals – they want full disclosure of any animal-derived ingredients used in production at all.
French fragrance ingredients producer Payan Bertrand is among the companies leading the charge with a selection of vegan aroma ingredients included in the latest Payan Bertrand catalogue for 2019.
These ingredients are certified as 'vegan-friendly', which means they can be used in finished products that also aim to achieve vegan-friendly certification.
Each of these is a certified vegan flavour and fragrance ingredient – meaning it can be used as a vegan-friendly aroma ingredient in skincare applications and other cosmetics, but also as a food-grade vegan flavour ingredient in commercial food production.
The confirmation of vegan-certified fragrance ingredients within the Payan Bertrand range is a way to respond to the growing demand for vegan-friendly flavour and aroma ingredients in the market as a whole.
Payan Bertrand are based in Grasse in France, an area which recently received UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status, so many of the principles of veganism such as sustainability and protecting the climate align well with preserving Grasse as an area of cultural significance for future generations.
Vegan aroma ingredients are a way for Payan Bertrand to respond to the call from perfume blenders and compound manufacturers, and ultimately to one of the major current trends in the flavour and fragrance market as we move into 2019.

How did the terrorist, a religious Hamas member, become a teacher in an Israeli school?
Maor Tzemach, chairman of 'Lach Yerushalayim', states that he is not surprised that the terrorist, a political Hamas figure, was a teacher in the Israeli school Rashidiya.
Arutz Sheva Staff

Hamas TerroristsTerror attack near the Western Wall
Area of the attackPolice
More details about the terrorist from the deadly shooting near the Western Wall today were provided by Maor Tzemach, chairman of the 'Lach Yerushalayim' movement, after the terrorist was defined by the Minister of Internal Security as a member of Hamas' "political arm."
"This here is a leader figure, a religious Hamas man. He was spotted many times at riots In Sheikh Jarrah. This is a teacher for Islamic religious studies and therefore we need to examine how such an extremist Hamas member was integrated into the education system," says Tzemach, noting that the Rashidiya school, where the terrorist taught, is an Israeli school under the responsibility of the Israeli Ministry of Education.
In the morning, security forces entered the school to carry out necessary investigations. Tzemach points out that perhaps unlike others he is not surprised that he is a teacher at Rashidiya school. "In the past, we have revealed that Palestinian organizations bypassed the systems and went into classrooms conveying messages in the education system and we managed to stop it. I am not surprised. The education system is not sufficiently supervised in East Jerusalem and these are the results."

PM Bennett: We must be vigilant against copycat attacks
In his remarks, Maor Tzemach notes that the incident was planned in advance, as the Minister of Internal Security also noted, in contrast to previous incidents of individual terrorists. In this case, the terrorist sent his family members abroad as early as Thursday, prepared himself religiously to carry out the attack, and equipped himself with a firearm.
Do these facts indicate an intelligence failure? Tzemach is in no hurry to reach conclusions and states that the security system in Jerusalem in its various and special arms is stretched thin over many areas in Jerusalem and many of them are not published. At this point another intelligence and operational effort may be needed.


In 2013 it was calculated that of the 6.6 million registered cars in Egypt, more than 2 million occupy road-space in the country's capital, Cairo. This metropolitan area is home to around 20 million residents and its streets are known for choking traffic delays that can last for hours at peak travel times.
In an effort to combat the city's daily struggle with congestion, Cairo's governorate commissioned an underground parking facility which would work in conjunction with other traffic measures to alleviate the number of cars parked on the roadside during critical peak times.
Worth over EGP 675m ($88 million) of investment, the four level underground car park occupies a total area of 21,000 m² and contains space for 1,700 cars and 24 tourist buses.
Should a disruption to the mains supply occur, it's vital for this underground facility to access a reliable source of standby power without delay. Delta, the appointed Perkins distributor in Egypt, was asked to provide an economic and durable solution.
Delta responded by installing two of the 4000 Series family, namely the 4008TAG2A and the 4012-46TAG2A, within the generator sets.
The engines were installed at the beginning of the site's development in 2013 and were chosen for the required low level of fuel consumption and the fact that each 4000 Series customer receives strong after sales support.
Since the car park's opening in early 2015, the engines have been able to serve building control systems, lights, electronic doors, elevators, computer systems, parking signs and air conditioning units.
Cairo's hope was to restore a civilised appearance to its city centre, providing an alternative parking place both for tourists and those who travel downtown every day for work, an area where most government offices and ministries are located.
With the 4008TAG2A and the 4012-46TAG2A an integral part of the project, Perkins is effectively contributing to the improvement of traffic flow in Tahrir Square and the surrounding areas, ensuring the car park can function at all times while the city above continues to move uninhibited.
Perkins® 4000 Series engines provide standby power to a major underground car park beneath Egypt's Tahrir Square.

Q: javascript ES6 / how to correctly chain Promises and implement handling I have written a class to capture a microservice accessed vi https. Several calls have been implemented in asynchronous methods which all work fine by themselves (here: step1(), step2(), step3()).
However I want to call a few of those in succession (run()) to implement certain workflows.
What I can not manage so far is that the stepX methods get called after another. Also I want to call run() and get a promise back so I can .then() when all is done. Also I want to implement some error handling there to catch all errors that might occur during the chain.
Here's a class that reduces my problems to the core:
class Foo {
  run() {
    return this.step1()
    .then(() => this.step2())
    .then(() => this.step3())
  }

  step1() {
    console.log('1')
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
       setTimeout(function(){console.log('2')}, 500)
    });
  }

  step2() {
    console.log('3')
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
       setTimeout(function(){console.log('4')}, 500)
    });
  }

  step3() {
    console.log('5')
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
       setTimeout(function(){console.log('6')}, 500)
    });
  }
}

let bar = new Foo();

bar.run()
.then(console.log('7')) // react on run() finishing successfully
.catch(err => console.log('err:', err)) // global error handling

I expected this to output the numbers 1 to 7 in correct order. However the current output is
1
7
2

Thank you for any help!
Christian

A: There were a couple problems in your code:

*

*You weren't resolving the promises in step1(), step2() and step3().

*.then(console.log('7')) was calling the console.log() immediately and not waiting for the promise.  You must pass a callback to .then().

With these two issues fixed, here's the resulting code which you can run in the snippet and see the desired output:

class Foo {
    run() {
        return this.step1()
            .then(() => this.step2())
            .then(() => this.step3())
    }

    step1() {
        console.log('1')
        return new Promise(function(resolve) {
            setTimeout(function() {
                console.log('2');
                resolve();
            }, 500)
        });
    }

    step2() {
        console.log('3')
        return new Promise(function(resolve) {
            setTimeout(function() {
                console.log('4');
                resolve();
            }, 500)
        });
    }

    step3() {
        console.log('5')
        return new Promise(function(resolve) {
            setTimeout(function() {
                console.log('6');
                resolve();
            }, 500)
        });
    }
}

let bar = new Foo();

bar.run()
    .then(() => console.log('7')) // react on run() finishing successfully
    .catch(err => console.log('err:', err)) // global error handling

This generates the output:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

A: You can use async-await approach with try-catch-finally to handle the resolve & reject cases in promises.
I'm writing tweaking the code a little bit to write the example by using a static function. you can use it as you normally would.
class Foo {
  static async run() {
    let response = {status:false, result:'Failed' }
    try{
        const step1_response = await step1();
        const step2_response = await step2();
        response.status = true;
        response.result = {step1_response, step2_response};
    } catch(error) {
        console.log(error)
    } finally {
       return response;
    }
  }
}

Google to pay US$170m fine for sharing YouTube kids data
Thu, Sep 05, 2019 - 12:13 AM
Google agreed to pay a US$170 million fine to settle charges that it illegally collected and shared data from children on its YouTube video service without consent of parents, US officials announced Wednesday.
[WASHINGTON] Google agreed to pay a US$170 million fine to settle charges that it illegally collected and shared data from children on its YouTube video service without consent of parents, US officials announced Wednesday.
The settlement with the Federal Trade Commission and the New York state Attorney General is the largest amount in a case involving the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, a 1998 federal law.
"YouTube touted its popularity with children to prospective corporate clients," said FTC chairman Joe Simons. "Yet when it came to complying with COPPA, the company refused to acknowledge that portions of its platform were clearly directed to kids. There's no excuse for YouTube's violations of the law."

Now The Details: Three Reasons to End Investigative Reporting?
Three Reasons to End Investigative Reporting?
It's been coming for a while. Now Jon Stewart has confirmed it: mainstream media - especially broadcasters - are moving away from investigative reporting.
The reasons for this are not complicated: investigative reporting costs money and usually doesn't attract audiences. Or more deliberately, it doesn't attract advertisers.
NPR had a solid unit a few years ago and plucked some talented journalists from CBC Radio to beef it up.
A few months ago, NPR began dismantling the unit, while still proclaiming that it was committed to the craft.
NPR partnered with the Center for Public Integrity and PBS' Frontline and broke some serious stories.
So why abandon what looked like a deeply civic and desperately needed, form of original journalism?
First, having a "special status" group like an investigative unit inside a traditional newsroom culture breeds suspicion. Editors and managers tend to worry that resources will be taken away to support the new grouping. Investigative reporting will always have to fight to stay part of the news operation.
Second, people who are attracted to investigative reporting tend, in my experience, to be loners - even somewhat anti-social. And in that clubby newsroom environment, they just don't play well with others. By keeping to themselves, they exacerbate their outsider status.
Third, management may initially like the idea of an investigative unit. But if the unit does its job well, there will be lawsuits, or the threat thereof. Management worries that corporate reputations could fray as legal costs go up.
Until there is a study that shows media companies that investigative reporting is both good journalism and good business, the bottom liners in newsrooms - and not the journalists - will be defining what constitutes important and necessary information.


Today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape is leading healthcare companies to find new ways to integrate business needs with patient expectations, while causing healthcare marketers to stay on top of the latest trends affecting current and future consumers, especially aging Baby Boomers. MediaPost.com reported on the major developments expected to drive the direction of the healthcare industry.
1. Consumers Taking Control of Their Healthcare – Modern technology has made it easy for consumers to become educated and empowered regarding their healthcare decisions. Boomers are especially inclined to consult online sources for gathering treatment advice, sharing personal experiences, and learning about the latest breakthroughs.
2. The Aging of America –The over-65 population will double by 2030 and present major medical challenges, most notably for emergency rooms. To prepare, hospitals are creating more elder-oriented emergency room environments and manufacturers are developing similar products to accommodate this older population.
3. Mobile for Meeting Healthcare Needs – The ubiquity of digital devices has greatly increased consumer demand for mobile access to healthcare information and marketers must focus on developing mobile strategies to promote their products and services. The industry is also working to utilize digital technology to let patients receive in-home care that would help them maintain their independence.
4. Wellness Programs for Managing Aging – Today's Baby Boomers view their health from a standpoint of multi-dimensional wellness that includes physical, emotional, social, spiritual and nutritional aspects. To address this outlook, healthcare marketers need to develop comprehensive wellness programs that emphasize optimizing and maintaining health even more than prevention and treatment.
By using these emerging trends as a springboard for creating future marketing strategies, healthcare marketers can be ready to meet consumer expectations and gain a solid advantage over the competition.
At MDG, our 360° marketing approach uses just the right mix of traditional and online media to reach your marketing goals. While some industries may fare better on TV and others on YouTube, we strive to create a balanced approach where digital and traditional marketing efforts support each other and your message is tailored to the medium.
