The Racist(?) Treatment of Cam Newton
After being picked number one overall in the Draft last year, Cam Newton threw for more yards than any rookie in the history of the National Football League. He is the first quarterback in league history to throw for more than 4,000 yards and run for more than 500. He is the fastest to ever throw for 1000 yards; the first NFL player to throw and rush for five touchdowns in his first five games and if I listed all of his accomplishments here, you'd be asleep before you finished.
Newton began the season… and his career with back-to-back 400-yard games and then continued on to pass for 21 touchdowns and rush for 14 more. Unheard of. And it wasn't like he was throwing to future Hall-of-Fame wide receivers, either. With the exception of Steve Smith, the Carolina Panthers receiving corps was made up of a bunch of no-names.
Flash back to a year ago when Newton was being heavily-criticized coming out of Auburn. Pro Football Weekly described him like this: "Limited field vision — does not process the passing game… Very disingenuous — has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup. Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them… Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness — is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example… he always will test the rules, be difficult to manage and lacks the intangibles to win the trust of a locker room… Can provide an initial spark, but will quickly be dissected and contained by NFL defensive coordinators, struggle to sustain success and will not prove worthy of an early investment. An overhyped, high-risk, high-reward selection with a glaring bust factor, Newton is sure to be drafted more highly than he should."
The knocks on him were consistent: he wasn't a leader, and he could never earn the respect of his teammates. He definitely wouldn't be able to learn NFL pro offense.
A lot of the negativity swirling around Newton stemmed from the accusations that his father, Cecil Newton Sr., solicited money from Mississippi State University to have his son attend the school. But ultimately, Newton went to Auburn and the NCAA's investigation determined that Auburn hadn't paid anyone for him to go there—and that Newton had nothing to do with soliciting money.
He was cleared but no one forgot about it.
Yet despite the shadow of doubt that followed him, Newton won a national championship at Auburn and snagged the Heisman trophy. Amazingly, even that wasn't enough to shake the negative reports.
The big question is: what was it really about? The racism that all Black quarterbacks have faced since the beginning of the NFL? Or were teams trying to downplay Newtown's value with hopes of causing him to drop down in the Draft so that they could pick him up? A little bit of both? You decide, but racism was clearly a factor when Jerry Richardson, owner of the Carolina Panthers, interviewed Newton before drafting him.
The Panthers had the number one pick and the owner wanted to see what he was getting ahead of time. He asked Cam if he had any tattoos or piercings. Huh? Well when Newton responded, no, Richardson told him to keep it that way. He even told Newton not to grow out his hair. Ironic considering he signed the notorious, long-haired, tattooed and white Jeremy Shockey during the same offseason.
Once Newton got to North Carolina, he didn't get the press you would think a guy playing as well as he was, would get. Somehow all of the press coverage went to Tim Tebow. The pro-life, Christian quarterback who received great reports from those same scouts, but ultimately—even considering his playoff streak—couldn't throw. He couldn't grasp the offense either forcing the Broncos to dumb down their playbook for him. His bad performances were covered up by a great defense.
Cam Newton had no such cover. There was bad play all around in Carolina and his shining star was bright enough to lead the team to four more wins than they had last year.
With all of that, Newton, at 22-years-old still doesn't seem to have a grasp on how being Black affects him as a quarterback. When asked if much of the negativity surrounding him prior to the 2011 NFL Draft was fueled by race, he responded by throwing the blame on two Black quarterbacks that were not only in vastly different situations than he was, but faced the same racism that dogs him and every Black quarterback.
"I can't sit up here and look at it like, 'Oh man, my critics are racist,'" Newton said in an interview with ESPN. "I blame JaMarcus Russell and to some degree Vince Young. If you have the opportunity to make that kind of money doing something you love to do, why would you screw it up?"
Even if he wanted to say that racism had nothing to do with how he was treated, why throw two other Black QBs under the bus? Sigh. (Luckily, he will be around for a long while and that statement will eventually be forgotten.)
Newton has been described as a much bigger Michael Vick and who can argue? At 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, his pinpoint accurate arm definitely mirrors Vick. He can throw on the run and he can run when the play is designed to throw. The difference is his size. He is as big as many of the linebackers that come after him. He can take a big hit and bounce back up smiling. And after his record-setting season, despite the baseless naysayers, that's exactly what Carolina fans are expecting him to do.

While the South Beach Diet may have it's nay sayers, I personally had great results when I was on it. For me that is the major problem of any diet, staying on it. It wasn't that I struggled with the diet, it was just that my desire for carbs would take over from time to time. I still watch my carb intake, but I am not overly concerned with it. I have been able to loose 25 lbs by being on a similar version of the diet and keep it off without exercise. To me the South Beach Diet is a variation of the Atkins Diet. In some ways it is more lenient and in some ways it can be seen as more strict. Which diet is best? I really don't thing there is a one size fits all. The diet that is best for you is the one that allows you to maintain a healthy weight and allows you to be at your best. Which Diet is working for you?
The South Beach Diet was developed by a Florida cardiologist who wanted to offer his patients a heart-healthy option for losing weight. According to Healthline, Dr. Arthur Agatston developed the diet after seeing that his patients following low-fat, high-carb diets were replacing eating too many sugars and simple carbs in an effort to replace unhealthy fatty foods. There are no long-term, randomized controlled clinical trials looking at the effects of the South Beach Diet on health, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Dorrit Black was a key figure in the development of modernist aesthetics in Australia during the interwar decades. Born in Adelaide, she studied in Sydney in 1915 under Julian Ashton and Elioth Gruner and during the 1920s increasingly focused on 'modernising' her practice.
In 1927 she travelled to Europe in order to acquire (in her own words) "a definite understanding of the aims and methods of the modern movement and in particular - the cubists". She initially studied linocut printmaking with Claude Flight at the Grosvenor School in London, and then moved to Paris where she enrolled in the Academy of the Salon cubist André Lhote.
This drawing is a study for a colour linocut Elizabeth Street, Sydney 1939 in the Gallery collection. It reveals the artist's working process, including colour notes and pencil underdrawing.

Texas Hits Milestone in Rescuing Victims of Child Abduction – Spectrum News
by newsican77
in News, Politics
DALLAS – At the end of 2019, Texas had reported 54,214 missing people listed in the state's database. Of those victims, 42,093 were under the age of 17.
Many were feared to be victims of abduction or trafficking.
While those numbers are staggering even for a state with a population of 29 million, there is some good news.
Texas Dept. of Public Safety last month reached a milestone when it announced that its officers had rescued their 500th missing child since 2009 when the state adopted a specialized training program that teaches patrol officers to identify the signs of missing, exploited, or at-risk children during routine traffic stops or encounters.
The Texas Dept. of Public Safety's Interdiction for the Protection of Children training program has become the national model for training law enforcement to identify victims of child abduction and human trafficking
The program has trained more than 10,000 people in its 10-year history
The Texas Dept. of Public Safety announced that the program has led to the rescue of 504 children to date
Called the Interdiction for the Protection of Children, or IPC, the program teaches patrol officers and other law enforcement agents how to spot indicators of child-sex trafficking and conduct during roadside investigations that can eventually lead to a rescue.
Among other indicators, the program teaches officers to look for telltale effects of fear and trauma in potential victims, such as averting their eyes to their abductor when being questioned by police to seek instructions. Officers are also trained to recognize indicators from potential abductors, such as adult drivers traveling with unrelated children whose stories don't add up or they are carrying drugs that are just enough for personal consumption but not large enough quantities typically seen by dealers.
The program was developed in 2008 after the Texas Dept. of Public Safety saw a need for a comprehensive training program as the number of missing and exploited children continued to increase each year. The first training course was conducted in 2009.
The program is now the gold standard in training other law enforcement across the country as well as in several other countries. So far, the two-day training course has certified more than 10,000 people around the globe, according to the Dept. of Public Safety.
In the 10 years of training, the program has been taught to law enforcement, prosecutors, criminal intelligence analysts, child protective services, victim services, and child advocacy center professionals in 28 states. The training program also works across public safety and law enforcement departments, including sheriff's departments, border control, game wardens, and national park police. The course curriculum has been taught in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and, more recently, in a presentation to Interpol in France, according to Major Derek Prestridge, who helped create the program and is one of IPC's supervisors.
"Most people are under the impression that a victim of any sort is going to call out for help, including children," said Major Prestridge.
But, in most cases, "that's not the way the situations tend to play out," Prestridge said.
"The primary message that we hope all officers, any attendees or professionals who get the training, as well as the public, understand is that to stop waiting for children to ask for your help," he said. "Stop waiting for children to tell you that they're victims of rape, abuse, and neglect."
Instead, Prestridge said the program teaches trainees a comprehensive approach that "encountering a child is not enough."
"It's accounting for a child each time that we have those encounters," he said.
The program is unique in that it is the only training course in the U.S. specifically dedicated to equipping law enforcement and other participants with tools need to identify victims of abduction, abuse, and trafficking, he said.
"We do believe it is a game-changer," Prestridge said.
The IPC program is not the first time Texas has been at the forefront of developing national programs to fight child abduction and abuse. The 1996 kidnapping and murder of Amber Hagerman of Arlington led to the creation of the Amber Alert system to inform the public about abducted children. That system was first used in the Dallas-Fort Worth area before then-Gov. Rick Perry signed an executive order in 2002 to make it statewide. It is now a national alert system and the model from which other national systems of alerts such as the Silver alert for elderly persons, the Blue alert seeking information about an injured police officer, and the Endangered Mission Person alert for those with an intellectual disability.
The milestone comes at a time when a proliferation of conspiracy theories about a Satanic cult of pedophiles run by political elites operating a child sex trafficking ring has been propagated by a cult-like online group calling itself QAnon. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has labeled the conspiracy theory group a domestic terrorism threat.
Those working in child protection and ending human trafficking have said the false claims associated with the conspiracy theory have complicated the messaging around the very serious and real issue of human trafficking and child abduction and endangerment. Polaris, a national group working to end human trafficking, has reported getting hundreds of calls to its National Human Trafficking Hotline referencing the conspiracy theories.
"While Polaris treats all calls to the Trafficking Hotline seriously, the extreme volume of these contacts has made it more difficult for the Trafficking Hotline to provide support and attention to others who are in need of help," the organization said in a statement posted to its website in July.

Ocean City's Tipsy Tikis offers a different kind of night out
Tipsy Tikis allows guests to drink on a floating bar as they tour Ocean City by water.
Ocean City's Tipsy Tikis offers a different kind of night out Tipsy Tikis allows guests to drink on a floating bar as they tour Ocean City by water.

Meg Ryan, The Daily Times Published 11:21 a.m. ET June 11, 2018 | Updated 4:48 p.m. ET June 11, 2018

With this new business, Ocean City visitors can tour the resort by water while enjoying a cocktail on a tiki bar boat.
Tipsy Tikis officially took to the water over Memorial Day weekend. The boat takes on the appearance of a floating tiki bar and allows groups of up to six people to enjoy a 90-minute ride around Ocean City's waterways while drinking cocktails.
Tipsy Tikis was started by two families who wanted to bring something different to the resort. The idea was inspired by a friend who participated in a similar floating tiki bar experience during a trip to Florida.
"We wanted to bring something similar," said Katie Harcum, co-owner.

Now with only a few weeks under their belt, the company is already expanding. It will be adding a second boat later this summer to offer more tours or attach both boats together to double the party. By next year, the company will have increased its amount of tiki bar boats to station them around Delmarva to offer more tours, Harcum said.
The current boat is docked behind The Shark on the Harbor restaurant in West Ocean City, allowing for easy pickup with restaurants nearby for a meal before or after the tour.

Harcum and her parents, along with another couple, began the process of starting their own tiki bar business in Ocean City. As locals, they knew tourists would enjoy a different kind of entertainment, she said. Add alcoholic beverages to the mix, and it's a perfect addition to a week's vacation.
"Nothing has ever come here like this before," she said.
Harcum said the family found a company who typically only built stationary tiki bars, but offered to make a tiki bar boat for the first time.
"A first for them and a first for us," she said.
The Hawaiian-style tiki bar boat is 14 feet wide by 24 feet long, according to the company's website.
It's built with the highest level of buoyancy possible, 32,000 pounds, to provide stability while being flexible enough to handle wake and waves, according to the website. The boat's hull design keeps it close to allow the boat to pull up to shallow areas for pick up or drop off.
The tiki bar boat has a 60hp outboard motor and a Bluetooth-capable speaker system, according to the website.
The boat's tiki bar is crafted to include a hut-thatched roof, walnut bar top and six bar stools to sit and enjoy the 360-degree view. It also includes aluminum and stainless steel railings with a walnut bar rail and various natural bamboo structures, according to the website.

The tiki bar only serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Harcum said the menu features various beers, wines and mixed drinks, and guests can request certain drinks to make sure it's on-board upon booking.
The rules of the boat are simple: It can hold up to six passengers, and each guest can enjoy up to five alcoholic beverages during the 90-minute tour, according to the website.

Harcum said customers can ask for a longer-than-90-minute tour for an increased rate. The tours go either toward Assateague Island or between the Route 50 and Route 90 bridges to Ocean CIty.
The reception of Tipsy Tikis so far has been great, Harcum said. Whether it's young families, families with children of drinking age or groups of college friends, everyone has enjoyed the experience.
Tours can be booked through the Tipsy Tikis website, Harcum said.
The price of a ride on Tipsy Tikis increases over holiday weekends, but a standard 90-minute ride is $420 for up to six people. Maryland state tax of 6 percent and a 6 percent booking fee is also added to the cost.
"It's definitely worth it," she said.

Grid: With implementation of VAT around the corner in UAE, what more can you tell us about the proposed VAT legislation, with an emphasis on financial services?
Jigar Doshi: UAE VAT law has been designed in such a way that, at a macro level, it will cover almost all the supplies of goods and services including import of goods / services, real estate, energy and even water supplies.
There are certain relaxations offered in the manner of zero rating and exemptions in the UAE VAT law. For instance, exports, international transport, certain education services are to be zero rated, whereas certain financial services, supply of empty land, local passenger transportation are to be exempt from the VAT levy. All other supplies will attract the standard rate of 5%.
The New Common Reporting Standard (CRS): Levelling the Playing Field?
The Grid: Do you think wealthy families have aligned their mindset to the new status quo globally i.e. the inevitable shift towards more disclosure of information?
Pankaj Narain: The sense is that it is all too early at this stage for everybody to take in the entire impact of what's going to come. At Hinduja Bank we have started speaking with clients on this subject. CRS will impact pretty much everybody with a bank account.
Have clients understood the whole piece? Perhaps not. My sense is that clients require an education process to get there. Our relationship managers are explaining to them why this is happening. All stakeholders have an important role to play, including the Regulators.
The Grid: How is the advent of the CRS beneficial to clients? Does the industry have their buy-in?

Facebook is making a helicopter drone that delivers internet during disasters
By Michelle Fitzsimmons 2017-04-19T18:22:45.108Z Internet
So people stay connected when infrastructure is knocked out
A massive part of Facebook's long-term plan to "build community" is to connect the world with the internet. From routers to drone planes, Facebook has done just about everything to deliver on that promise, but today it introduced one more method.
The social network is developing a small helicopter drone called Tether-tenna, designed to deliver internet when infrastructure is damaged or destroyed, such as during a natural disaster.
Some infrastructure fiber must still be operational so Tether-tenna has something to connect to. Once tethered, the 'copter will create a virtual tower by soaring a few hundred feet into the sky. Facebook refers to this as "insta-infrastructure," a system that can be rigged in a hurry to restore connectivity to an affected area.
"When completed, this technology will be able to be deployed immediately and operate for months at a time to bring back connectivity in case of an emergency — ensuring the local community can stay connected while the in-ground connectivity is under repair," wrote Facebook's Yael Maguire in a blog post.
Tether-tenna in action
Facebook's hope is to have Tether-tenna operate autonomously for long stretches of time, and while the helicopter is still in the early stages, the technology seems to be progressing along nicely.
A few years ago, it may have seemed absurd for Facebook to develop a drone plane, let alone a helicopter, to beam down internet, but now it's par for the course for the social network to experiment with new technologies in its never-ending quest to connect the world.
This may the latest, but it certainly won't be the last time we hear about Facebook's internet-delivering ambitions.

Q: customize the Border property with CornerRadius for ListBox I want to customize the following Listbox-display property of border with CornerRadius=5..can anyone help me to achieve it without changing the existing datatemplate code in the following Xaml code:
<ListBox x:Uid="lst_value"  Name="lstValues" Background="Wheat" BorderBrush="Black"
         HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" BorderThickness="1" Height="100" Width="150"
         ItemsSource="{Binding listval}" >
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Background="{Binding}">
                <TextBlock x:Name="txtblk" Foreground="Black" FontSize="10"  TextAlignment="Left"
                                               FontWeight="Black" Text="{Binding}" Background="{Binding}"></TextBlock>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

A: If you want the Border within the ListBoxItems to have another CornerRadius value, you can either re-template ListBoxItem where the Border is defined, or set it implicitly in the ItemContainerStyle Resources
<ListBox ...>
    <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
            <Style.Resources>
                <Style TargetType="Border">
                    <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="5"/>
                </Style>
            </Style.Resources>
        </Style>
    </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
    <!--...-->
</ListBox>

Edit: If you want to set CornerRadius for the ListBox, you can do the same but in Resources instead
    <ListBox ...>
        <ListBox.Resources>
            <Style TargetType="Border">
                <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="10"/>
            </Style>
        </ListBox.Resources>
    <!--...-->
</ListBox>

The harmonies of the Scunthorpe Male Voice Choir have been entertaining audiences across the world for the last 93 years.
And to ensure the choir thrive for another 93 the group are on the hunt for new members.
From different backgrounds and all walks of life, the men unite every Thursday evening at the Church of the Resurrection, near Berkeley Circle.
President, Paul Taylor said: "I remember feeling apprehensive when I was asked to join, I arrived for a rehearsal and almost turned around and walked away. But I did it and it has been absolutely fantastic, and that was 50 years ago.
Mr Taylor is not alone in finding camaraderie, solace and sheer enjoyment within the choir's fold – indeed for some it has been life-changing.
While for Gordon Slack, of Luddington, the group has reined in his former singing career, which consisted of rather vocal performances on the back seat of a rugby coach.
Gordon is now a member of three different choirs.
With a whole mix of personalities and styles, you would think it may be difficult for the present conductor, Daniel Fields, 26, to keep his choir in check – but not at all, says the teacher at St Bede's Catholic Academy.
"They are a very friendly bunch to work with, a very open and welcoming choir," says Daniel, who is also on hand to advise the latest recruit – 25-year-old pianist and accompanist, James Longden.
The accomplished music teacher looks forward to his choir evenings and encourages other younger musicians to join.
For more information on the choir and details on how to join visit www.scunthorpemalevoicechoir.com or call 01469 530103.

Sherryn chats to Thomas Brothers	Featured
Thomas Brothers, though fairly new to the Life FM playlist, they are no stranger to making music! They've been making music together since before they could walk!!
Just like their name suggests, they are ACTUALLY brothers - Four siblings, Sam, Josh, Joe and Ben. With a story similar to that of the Jonas Brothers, the Thomas Brothers have been making music together since they were young. Releasing "I Need to get Home" and "Keep Holding On" on their self titled album - they've now returned with their first song since 2016 - SORRY! Premiered on Life FM. They have their second full length album on the way later this year.
The 2/4ths of the Thomas Brothers that joined Sherryn in the Life FM studio were incredibly fun and even helpful - fixing the aspect ratio on one of the TVs!! They gave a live performance of their song "I Need to get Home"
These four brothers are extrememly creative, and in my opinion have one of the best music videos I've seen in a long time for their song "I Need to get Home". It kinda feels like watching Jumanji!
If you missed the interview or just want to listen again, you can do so below!

Q: Rally's .Net rest API We are having issue when we set the pagesize, it seems like it is hardcoded to 200.
Is it possible to change the pagesize to 100o or 2000? We tried setting the limit, did not work. It always returned the Queryresult.results was 200.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Vasanthi

A: Unforunately, this seems to be a limitation with this specific toolkit: it has the page size max defined in code as 200: https://github.com/RallyTools/RallyRestToolkitFor.NET/blob/d6c2f58781eddf986a17d7b016ac397921ac39ce/Rally.RestApi/Request.cs#L78
That's unfortunate, because the max page size was actually increased to 2000 in wsapi a couple years ago.
I created an issue to track this here: https://github.com/RallyTools/RallyRestToolkitFor.NET/issues/40
Your best workaround in the meantime is probably to fork this repo, make the change and just build the library from source since I'm not sure in what sort of timeframe we'll be able to get this fixed on our end.  We definitely also accept pull requests if you'd like to contribute back!
But this will require a new release of the toolkit to properly address for sure.


At the moment I am rewriting my memoir and including some touchy things that involve family still living. My mentor told me if I was afraid to include them I shouldn't write any of it. After all I am changing names and adding a disclaimer.
Otherwise I am working on some of my children's books and learning the art of public speaking. Here on Norasnotes you will find a rough sampling of my writing. Most of what is here are infant versions, after feedback I'm tweaking a lot. Please feel free to critique, compliment, suggest anything. I am open to learn from others, tips, suggestions and networking are always welcome.

Rinoplastia é uma cirurgia realizada na estrutura nasal para melhorar a estética ou a respiração do indivíduo. Serve para correção de deformidades traumáticas ou naturais e ainda para corrigir disfunções. Pode ser associada a uma mentoplastia, para o resultado harmonizar as formas do rosto.
A rinoplastia moderna visa reestruturar o nariz, tratando suas deformidades, pela redução das estruturas osteocartilaginosas (rinoplastia de redução) ou pela inclusão de enxertos osteocartilaginosos (rinoplastia de aumento).

Estruturas tratáveis durante a rinoplastia

Dorso
O dorso nasal pode ser abaixado com escopro ou aumentado com enxerto (osso, cartilagem) ou material sintético, como silicone. A fratura do nariz objetiva tratar dorso nasal largo, e é realizada baixa, ao longo da maxila e parede lateral do osso nasal, seguida de manobra de aperto com os dedos, aproximando as paredes nasais medialmente.

Ponta
Pode ser afinada, retirando-se uma parte das cartilagens alares que a compõem, ou através de pontos internos. Enxertos cartilaginosos também podem ser aplicados às pontas que necessitam de maior definição. Técnicas para se elevar a ponta do nariz podem incluir: secção do ligamento dermocartilaginoso, encurtamento do septo nasal ou enxerto de cartilagem.

Narinas
Podem ser fechadas com incisão em sua parte inferior, retirando-se um segmento de tecido, ou através de sutura interna.

Septo

Caso esteja desviado, obstruindo a respiração nasal, ou desviando o dorso ou a ponta do nariz, o septo nasal também é tratado durante uma rinoplastia. Pode-se retirar um segmento ou realizar incisões relaxantes, normalmente em seu lado côncavo do septo cartilaginoso.

I was talking to my spiritual counsellor the other night. She's in the UK. We meet via Skype. We talk fast. There's always a lot to say.
I'm in transition. Have been for a few years.
Slowly but surely, I'm moving from one stage of life, love and passions, into a new stage of life, love and passions.
Reconnecting with Mother Earth has filled me with joy.
Incidentally, did you know a fourth aspect has been added to the triple goddess symbol? At least, it's been added intellectually — or metaphorically.
Maiden Mother Crone. The traditional, triple face of the Goddess.
But we live longer now.
We don't transition from Mother straight to Crone.
(Remember these are archetypes I'm referring to, not necessarily lived realities. One can draw on the patience and unconditional love of the Mother archetype without ever having been a mother. Likewise, a young woman (Maiden) can tap into the insight, deep wisdom and mirth of the Crone, should she ever wish to.
But back to the triple goddess.
We now accept there's another aspect, another face, another archetype to meet and embrace usually around the age of 55-70.
As I get older, I care less and less who might be watching!
She makes up the Four-Fold Goddess.
The Maga is characterised by 'accomplishment, personal power, emerging wisdom and the desire to give back'.
For me, this period has meant major upheaval, major introspection and brutal honesty (with myself).
In order to be fully realised and lived, the Maga has demanded ongoing bravery and commitment. A willingness to shine a light on the dark places of my soul and my psyche. To face and assimilate regret, shame, grief. All the messy stuff you can't help but accumulate if you're blessed to live this long.
But above all, the Maga (as she speaks to me personally) says, There is work to be done, sister. Get off your arse.
At the moment, this work, this transition, has taken me from being a relatively quiet, hardworking and solitary children's author to a gently outspoken, passionate and at times kooky, creativity coach, mentor and role model.
Where will this journey lead me next?
But I do know it doesn't end here. New friends, mentors, coaches and guides are popping up like corks on a lake.
I know this is just the beginning. The beginning of something rich, soulful, possibly even poetic.
Such is the straight shooting wisdom of the Crone. And, for me, as I work with the energy of the Maga, it has never had more resonance.
I'm excited to see where this year will lead me.
I feel blessed to have you with me, dear reader.
I hope you will take from my ramblings whatever you need for your journey.
My Q and A video show, Q and Q Friday, starts again on February 8! Subscriptions are due Feb 7. The cost is $50 for the entire year! CLICK HERE to find out more and join me for a fun year packed with info, inspiration and insights!
Sounds good to me, Jen. And Mother Earth is such an anchor in life. Thanks for sharing.
The best thing about life is that we are always growing and changing and finding something new to learn – even about ourselves! I am enjoying your stories about your depth year, so thank-you for sharing them with us.
You are gorgeous. We are lucky you've come out from behind your writing desk and nice stationery to help us.

Q: Partial with Multiple Variables I am new to rails and need some guidance. I am sure I am misunderstanding something obvious.
I would like the user name of the person who leaves a comment to show on the view page. I have a partial that goes through the collection of comments for the particular object for example a school. I can't figure out how to pass that user variable into the partial so that I can display the login name for the comment. My Comments model is polymorphic and I am pretty sure that is making this more complex.
Here are the models:
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :commentable, :polymorphic => true
has_many :comments, :through => :schools

class School < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :installation
belongs_to :neighborhood
has_many :comments, :as => :commentable

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :users, :through => :schools

School's controller:
def show
  @installation = Installation.find(params[:installation_id])
  @school = School.find(params[:id])
  @neighborhood = @school.neighborhood
  @comment = @school.comments
respond_to do |format|
  format.html # show.html.erb
  format.xml  { render :xml => @school }
  end
end

The comment partial:

<%= display_stars(comment.stars) %>

<%= comment.content %>

The school view:
<%= render :partial => "shared/comment", :collection => @comment %>

A: I think your models might have some issues, but you pass parameters to partials using locals.
<%= render :partial => "shared/comment", :locals => { :user => your_user } %>

Then inside of the partial you have access to the user variable.

<%= display_stars(comment.stars) %>

<%= comment.content %>

by <%= user %>

A: for example from me
def show
@school = School.find_by_id_and_user_id(params[:id],
params[:user_id],:include => [:user, [:comments => :user]])
end

class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :school, :counter_cache => true
  belongs_to :user
end

class School < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user, :counter_cache => true
  has_many :comments

  def after_save
   self.user.update_attribute(:last_activity, "bla bla bla")
   self.user.update_attribute(:last_activity_at, Time.now)
  end
end

 class User
   has_many :school or has_one
   has_many :comments
 end

        <% @schools.comments.each do |comment| -%>
        <%= comment.created_at.to_s(:short) %>

<%= <%= comment.user.stars %> said: ## or<%= comment.user.username %> said:##
 %>

<%= comment.content %>

<%= render :partial => "shared/comment"%>

Qais Al Sindy: Living as a Pilgrim

'Blessed are those who have set their hearts on pilgrimage'
by Paul-Gordon Chandler
Today's climate of increasing prejudice and stereotyping has led to a sharp rise in Antisemitism and Anti-Muslim sentiment in the West. It is vital that this escalation of misunderstanding and misrepresentation not become the new norm.
It is in this context that the patriarch Abraham comes to our rescue, the common ancestor of distinct spiritual significance to Jews, Christians and Muslims, who self-identify as "children of Abraham". Abraham, born in what was known as Ur of the Chaldees (in today's Iraq), left his homeland and journeyed throughout the Middle East for the rest of his life. Abraham has forever since been known as having lived a life of pilgrimage, laying the foundation for the importance of pilgrimage as a spiritual discipline in all three Abrahamic faith traditions.
The contemporary Iraqi artist, Qais Al Sindy, a member of the ancient Chaldean Christian community, highlights the importance of living as a pilgrim in his recent work that is part of CARAVAN's peacebuilding exhibition titled "ABRAHAM: Out of One, Many". On a 24-month tour in Europe and throughout the USA, the exhibition is a timely artistic exploration on living harmoniously, featuring three celebrated Middle Eastern contemporary artists from Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions.
Providing context to his oil and collage on canvas work, Qais says, "Abraham begins his pilgrimage from Ur of the Chaldees, which is now called Nasiriyah in southern Iraq. This is where the Great Ziggurat of Ur was built by the Sumerian king. And most importantly, as Abraham traveled throughout foreign lands, he lived harmoniously among their peoples."
Qais reminds the viewer that Abraham is seen as a model of welcoming the "stranger" and embracing the "other" in all three monotheistic faiths. His multi-layered work highlights for us that Abraham's story is not just one of leaving his geographic homeland and journeying to a foreign place. Rather, he also left behind a narrow-minded and parochial worldview, as his call was as much an inner call to journey as an outer one – providing a universal example for us all. Living a life of pilgrimage requires a journey in the geography of the heart.
Qais' work reminds us that when relating to the "other", we should see ourselves first and foremost as "pilgrims", journeying in life and toward God – and not having arrived. So often our religious traditions teach us that we "arrive", thereby putting borders around beliefs and worldviews, giving it a sense of finality. However, a pilgrim is someone always journeying, exploring and discovering. Having a "pilgrim's worldview" requires meeting new people and learning from others who are different from ourselves. Living as a pilgrim requires an attitude of openness to receiving from the "other", regardless of where or from whom it comes.
To illustrate Abraham's life of pilgrimage, Qais explains, "I painted Abraham carrying a sheep on his shoulders, because I see him as a shepherd leading his people to the land God promised him. In Iraq, I bought an old Nasiriyan shepherd's cloak made of sheep's wool, cut it into pieces and pasted some of them on the canvas to give shape to Abraham's clothes. I wanted to bring the spirit and soul of this great prophet through the material of his native land."
To further illustrate Abraham's life of pilgrimage, Qais explains, "I also depict the Ziggurat as a burden on his shoulders because he carries his land with him in his heart as he journeys. The white pyramid on his left is a foreshadowing of his journey into Egypt and of what will happen to his offspring."
Living as a Pilgrim is a poignant visual lesson in how Abraham mirrors for us God's universal embrace for all humanity, reminding us that Abraham's example of welcoming the stranger and embracing the other still speaks to the needs of our contemporary context thousands of years later. It is in this way that the extraordinary promise from God to Abraham, "that all the families of the earth would be blessed through him," comes true.
There is a poem in the Book of Psalms known as the Pilgrim Psalm (Ps. 84) that Jews, Christians and Muslims love. Right in the middle of the psalm is a beautiful promise: "Blessed are those who have set their hearts on pilgrimage."
Qais Al Sindy: Living as a Pilgrim, 2019, oil and collage on canvas, 45 x 60cm.
Qais Al Sindy was born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1967 and has a BSc degree in Engineering (1989) as well as a BFA (2000) and an MFA (2004) from the Academy of Fine Arts at Baghdad University. In Amman, Jordan, where he lived for four years, Qais taught "Art in Architectural Engineering" at the University of Applied Science. Beginning with his first major exhibition in 2007 titled Letters Don't Burn, which was about the burning of the Iraqi library, he has exhibited around the world on themes related to humanity, culture and civilization. Qais is of Chaldean Christian heritage and now lives in San Diego, California. Al Sindy's work is currently on exhibition at the American Cathedral in Paris.

1. THE GOSPEL COALITION ARTS AND CULTURE – How can Christians wisely navigate this world of increasing "visual noise" (among every other type of noise)? I loved A. Trevor Sutton's recent exploration of this question. Building off the work of 20th-century German Catholic philosopher Josef Pieper, Sutton ponders the capacity to see well—not in the mere physiological sense of processing information that our eye takes in, but in the deeper spiritual sense of actually beholding reality for what it is. Recovering this way of seeing will be essential for living wisely in a world of noise. Read more
2. JAN VAN EYCK EXHIBITION - 10 July – 20 October, Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM). Maria-Theresien-Platz, Vienna: Jan van Eyck: "Als Ich Can". The exhibition presents three of the circa twenty extant works by Jan van Eyck, offering a glimpse of the art produced during the reign of Duke Philipp the Good, when the Burgundian Low Countries witnessed a unique flowering of courtly and urban civilisation. Jan van Eyck (ca.1390-1441), the favorite court painter of Philipp the Good, duke of Burgundy (1396-1467), is celebrated for his virtuosity in the use of oil paint and his skill in combining naturalism and realism with brilliant colours. Already regarded as an epoch-making artist by his contemporaries, he was soon renowned throughout Europe as the founder of Early Netherlandish painting. Jan van Eyck was one of the first artists north of the Alps to sign and date his works. His use of a motto is remarkable. In the early fifteenth century, it was highly unusual for a painter – then still regarded as a mere craftsman – to have his own device, something reserved for the dukes of Burgundy and the nobility. Jan van Eyck chose AΛΣ · IXH · XAN as his motto and generally inscribed it in pseudo-Greek letters; it is, however, in Dutch and means "as I can" or "as best I can" as in "as best I can, not as I would", which is presumably meant to imply the artist's modest appreciation of his own work. 10 am – 6 pm (Th until 9 pm). https://www.khm.at/en/visit/exhibitions/jan-van-eyck

Scala certainly has a lot going for it these days. They have the enthusiasm of at least a couple of the hottest tech companies out there in Twitter and Foursquare. Even Sony is using Scala in some of its systems. There are at least two fairly usable web frameworks, Lift and Play. Akka middleware provides a scalable lock-free concurrency abstraction. XML support is built-in. Interoperability with Java is standard, thus giving Scala access to important systems and APIs such as Hadoop, JSoup, Mahout, Pig, and the numerous Apache Java projects. There is even a linear algebra package Scalala. What is going to take it to the next level?
I've read posts about people recommending Python over Ruby due to the comprehensiveness of the platform given Scipy/Numpy/matplotlib and Django. Ruby, of course, has Rails to really turbocharge its audience. Objective-C remains the lingua franca of iOS due to fiat. The interesting observation is that the software development world has become very diverse. The proliferation of web services certainly helped because instead of having to interface with binary libraries and structured foreign function interfaces, new languages and platforms only have to interface with HTTP, XML, and JSON to achieve harmony with the Web 2.0 ecosystem. This lowers the legacy compatibility bar for new programming languages considerably. Considering how difficult developing good foreign function interfaces and runtime support for mediating between garbage collected (aka managed) languages and the previous lingua franca C was, this must be quite a relief to language designers. However, harmony with Web 2.0 isn't enough to achieve widespread acceptance.
The High Scalability blog has a recent post on probabilistic algorithms for approximate counting. The author unfortunately coined the term "linear probabilistic counter", which corresponds to no results if you do a Google search. The more usual terminology is linear-time probabilistic counting (a paper from KAIST gives the original definition from 1990) and closely related, approximate counting. The former paper describes that linear counting is a hashing-based sorting algorithm that approximates column cardinality. The name comes from the fact that the count estimator should be approximately proportional (linear to) the true count. The study of probabilistic algorithms is indeed a growing field. It is also tied to that oft forgotten technique of sampling in this modern age of big data. There are a lot of related concepts here. The common theme to these kind of problems is massive amounts of entries where each entry is constrained to be from some finite set.
