a community of transformation
About the table
At The Table, we feel called to move towards transformation. It is so easy to get caught up in things that do great harm, or otherwise prevent us living abundantly. Greed, fear, an impulse to isolation, a will to violence, are present in various ways in each of us – they determine, to varying degrees, how we use our time and energy, how we choose our words and deeds, and the many good things we hold back from.
But our goal is to move away from these things, to transform ourselves, our families, and our communities towards goodness. By God's grace, it is possible to move in the direction of greater generosity, peacefulness, neighborliness and faithfulness. We believe this transformation is possible, not only in our personal lives, but our families, our communities, and in the world.
The promise that life-giving transformation can happen comes from Jesus, who embodied the love of God, modeled a life of compassion and justice, and demonstrated the sovereignty of grace in his death and resurrection.
From greed toward generosity
Greed is associated with money, but there are all sorts of things we hoard when we could share. We withhold time and consideration, we shout down others' voices and perspectives, and we grab more in opportunities and resources than we need.
Greed tells us that our own wants and needs are the only ones that matter. Greed propels us to take more and more, even when we know others are in need.
Generosity begins when we realize that everyone's needs are of equal value, and that giving money, food and status away is more rewarding than stockpiling them. The impulse to gather excess and to cut in front of others exists in all of us, but so does the capacity to share and serve. Jesus reminds of our place in the greater human family, and insists that we exist to serve the world - the world does not exist to enrich us.
From Violence toward Peacemaking
It's easier to break things than to make things. Injury takes an instant, while healing takes seasons, or years. When there is a wound, when there is pain, it takes a deep reservoir of trust and goodwill not to respond to harm by doing harm. We use words and actions to cut, to shame, to diminish the people around us.
Jesus provided the ultimate example of responding peacefully to violence, when he suffered on the cross without killing his killers. The peace he embodies is not an acceptance of wrong, or an acquiescence to brutality. Christ's peace is a conscious choice not to repeat the violence he endured, not to multiply harm in the world. Jesus provided a break in the cycle of violence, which God vindicated on Resurrection Day, promising new life after violence. Across the centuries and to this day, Jesus has been leading people away from violent patterns of destroying people and creation, and toward a peaceful life of care and trust.
From isolation toward neighborliness
It's hard to live well in relationships. You have to stick it out through conflict when you'd rather walk away. You have to be present and vulnerable with people when it's easier to withdraw. You have to spend time with folks who make you uncomfortable and learn about people you're inclined to avoid. It's always easier to build walls than it is to build community. But community is where the life is.
Neighborliness doesn't mean everybody is best friends, and it doesn't mean that wrongs are overlooked. Neighborliness is people choosing to know one another, to value each other's stories, to recognize one another's hopes and needs, and to reject the impulse to label and dismiss each other over differences. This is the way of Jesus, and the way to the banquet table in the Kingdom of God.
From Fear toward Faith
Pastor Rob Leveridge
Respect: Seeing again
The word respect comes from the same root as spectator or spectacle. To respect a person, or a community, or an issue, literally means to see again, or to see anew.
This is bad news. Respect is often described as a baseline, a starting point, something we expect people to take for granted, which is why we are dismayed by people who are disrespectful. They seem unwilling to play by the rules of basic courtesy.
To say that respect is a new way of seeing someone, a conscientious choice to give real consideration to someone's point-of-view, experience and personhood, and to say that we have to do this AGAIN, well that means respect requires extra work.
And come on. Nobody wants extra work.
We sometimes hear: "Why can't people just respect each other?"
Unfortunately, respect isn't something that happens automatically or easily. Assumptions and bias come automatically and easily. Labels and dismissiveness come automatically and easily. Respect is harder than that.
Respect means we deliberately check our hurtful impulses and look deeper, pay attention to things that we might've overlooked, try harder to understand someone else.
I can only respect you if I've really made an effort to see you. Again.
The Table is a Christian community seeking transformation:
Not me. Us.

Q: Can't get Rocket's EventStream! to work with borrowed values This is a pretty specific question related to the Rocket crate. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the crate or if I'm just doing something plain wrong. I'm not the best with lifetimes and macros.
I'm trying to setup an SSE connection, and I want the macro to borrow values that are passed into the function.
I initially followed their tutorial for setting up SSEs, and wrote the following code...
#[get("/my/stream")]
pub fn my_stream(config: &State<config::Config>, _pool: &State<Pool<Sqlite>>) -> EventStream![] {
    EventStream! {
        let mut id = 0;
        let mut interval = time::interval(Duration::from_secs(1));
        loop {
            yield Event::data("test data").event("test").id(id.to_string());
            interval.tick().await;
            id += 1;
        }
    }
}

This compiles and works great, but when I try to do something simple and borrow either config or _pool then it complains about the lifetime in the macro. The compiler was pretty clear and it matched what they had in their documentation. So I added the lifetime to the return value.
#[get("/my/stream")]
pub fn my_stream(config: & State<config::Config>, _pool: &State<Pool<Sqlite>>) -> EventStream![Event + '_] {
    EventStream! {
        let _test = config.database.clone();
        let mut id = 0;
        let mut interval = time::interval(Duration::from_secs(1));
        loop {
            yield Event::data("test data").event("test").id(id.to_string());
            interval.tick().await;
            id += 1;
        }
    }
}

However, once I do this it complains that Event is not a trait...? I looked through their source and I don't see Event as a trait. What am I doing wrong and why? The last error I receive is...
 pub fn my_stream(config: & State<config::Config>, _pool: &State<Pool<Sqlite>>) -> EventStream![Event + '_] {
   |                                                                                ^^^^^ not a trait
   |
help: `+` is used to constrain a "trait object" type with lifetimes or auto-traits; structs and enums can't be bound in that way

Here's a simple way prepare a favorite Thanksgiving side. Just bake the potatoes, peel and slice, then drench them in a butter-cider-maple syrup mixture that's been seasoned with cinnamon, cloves and orange zest. Bake until bubbly and the edges brown.
Featured in: Sweet Potatoes Made Even Sweeter.
To cook the sweet potatoes, wash them and prick all over with a fork. Wrap in foil and bake in a 375-degree oven until very tender. This can take anywhere from 50 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending upon the girth of the potato. Thinner ones cook more quickly. Cool. Peel just before using.
In a small pot, combine syrup, cider, butter, cinnamon, cloves and orange zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until somewhat thickened, about 15 minutes. Pour syrup over sliced sweet potatoes and bake, uncovered, until bubbling and brown, 25 to 40 minutes.

Phil Mickelson hit a crazy flop shot over a guy standing 35 inches in front of him earlier this week.
We've been watching YouTube videos of Lefty hitting trick shots ever since. We can't get enough of them.
In this one, he lines up two balls in the bunker and hits them at the same time. The first one goes into the lip of the bunker, the second one hits the green and zips all the way back into the bunker on some crazy backspin. So he hits two balls, but they both stay in the bunker, and he doesn't have to move to retrieve them.

PARKLANDS
A riverine park called Kallang Riverside Park is location at the mouths of Rochor River and Kallang River which are managed by the National Parks Board or NParks.
The Marina Promenade located on Kallang Basin and Marina Channel western banks links the Marina Centre in the south with the Kallang Riverside Park in the north.
The Kallang Part Connector is part of the PCN or Park Connector Network which is managed by NParks. It was constructed in 1995, the first park connector of its kind that forms part of the Central Urban Loop. These park are continues loops which will later connect all of the major parks in Singapore.
A coastal park called East Coast Park straddles Singapore's southeastern coast that extends from Marine Parade to Tampines. It also serves some communities near it like Kallang. It can be reached through Fort Road from Kallang.
Kampong Java Park is located within the Kampong Java subzone, at the Bukit Timah Road and Cavenagh Road junction. It is also maintained by NParks and it features a large pond as the centerpiece. However, in August 2018, Kampong Java Park was permanently closed to facilitate the North–South Corridor (NSC) construction.

When anyone tweets to @NUSTEMxmas and requests a festive tune, our Pi picks up the message and quickly searches through our vast bank of early 00s mobile phone ringtones for a match. A command is then sent to another Pi elsewhere in the office, which decodes the ringtone and instructs yet another Pi to rev eight servos into action. Those servos move hammers which strike our home-made, only-slightly-out-of-tune, no-sharps-or-flats, plays-with-enough-enthusiasm-to-occasionally-break-itself glockenspiel. We also added flashing lights – synced to the music, obviously – to enhance the festive mood, and a readout so we know who's requested the song. One of the Pis (we forget which, but probably the first) also tweets a reply to the original requester.
Next: Beethoven's Ninth on a Toolbox Glockenspiel, The Heart of Maker Faire, a community-inspired light installation, and more videos of Christmas music and all sorts of holidays.

How to Break Down a Sentence Into Parts of Speech
By Diane Kampf
••• TongRo Images/TongRo Images/Getty Images
The part of speech of a word is its function within a sentence. The eight parts of speech are noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction and interjection. Breaking a sentence down into its parts of speech requires knowledge of the word's meaning and how it relates to other words in the sentence. For our purposes we will use the following sentence to break down into its parts of speech: " Yikes! That brown fox quickly jumped over the lazy dog, and everyone saw it happen."
Find Verbs First
Find the verb first helps in identifying other parts of speech in the sentence. Look for action taking place in the sentence. Here the actions are "jumped" and "happen," so these are verbs. Beware of words that look like verbs but are other parts of speech. For example, in the phrase "a guiding light," "guiding" looks like a verb but is actually an adjective. Verbs show action or state of being and can change tense: "The fox jumps/is jumping/has jumped over the lazy dog."
Find Adverbs Next
Adverbs describe or modify verbs. They answer the questions "How?" "Where?" and "When?" In the example sentence, the adverb describes how the fox jumped --"quickly." Many adverbs end in "-ly," so this is often a clue that a word is acting as an adverb in a sentence. But not all adverbs end in "-ly." Words that describe when something happened usually do not end in "-ly." For example, "The fox jumped over the dog yesterday." "Yesterday" is an adverb telling when the fox jumped.
Find Nouns, Pronouns and Adjectives Next
Nouns are persons, places, things or ideas. In the above example, the nouns are "fox" and "dog." These are animals or things. Since adjectives describe or modify nouns, it is logical to look for them after you've found the nouns in the sentence. Adjectives answer the questions "Which one?" "What kind?" "How many?" or "How Much?" In this case ask, "Which fox?" The answer is "brown." Ask, "What kind of dog?" and the answer is "lazy." These are adjectives. Special adjectives called "articles" are "a," "an" and "the." Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns mentioned elsewhere either within the sentence itself or in surrounding sentences. In our example sentence, "everyone" and "it" are pronouns.
Prepositions and Conjunctions
Prepositions and conjunctions connect words or groups of words. In the example sentence, the preposition "over" connects "dog" to the rest of the sentence. Notice that prepositions often tell where something is relative to something else. Conjunctions are fairly easily memorized, as there are only about 45, the most common being the coordinating conjunctions "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for" and "yet." The conjunction "and" appears in the example sentence.
Interjections are among the easiest parts of speech to identify, as they frequently show strong emotion and are often followed by exclamation points. "Yikes! " is the interjection in the example sentence.

Are You Living the Video Life : An Adolescent Exercise - George Middleton. Thought Leader.
Adolescence is what most consider as a turbulent period in which they undergo a shift from childhood to adulthood. It's common knowledge that this is a period of rapid physical, psychological and social maturation.
According to Psychology Today, subliminal visual cues are words, pictures or symbols that are unidentifiable to your conscious awareness. A subliminal stimulus often happens so quickly that it is literally "below the threshold" of the conscious mind. Such stimulus has a direct effect and impact upon the impressionable adolescent mind.
A workshop series addressing adolescent awareness of the connection between music, messaging, and subliminal behavioral impact.


We never get tired of seeing our clients get credit for their greatness. Last night, Vidyard co-founders Michael Litt and Devon Galloway won the Ontario EY Entrepreneur Of The Year award in the Young Entrepreneur category.
In the time The Dialog Lab has been working with Vidyard, we have seen Mike's and Devon's brilliance firsthand on several occasions, but what's great about this award is that it recognizes them for both their successes with Vidyard as well as their community leadership.
The Kitchener-Waterloo region about an hour west of Toronto is a hotbed of innovation in part because of the strong academic presence of the University of Waterloo but also because of the dedication of local entrepreneurs such as Devon and Mike who make it part of their mission to give back.
As two kids fresh out of college (or university, as they say in Canada), they identified a need for companies to have better data on who watched their online videos, and they built the technology to address the demand. They earned a spot at Silicon Valley's ultracompetitive Y Combinator accelerator in 2011. At the end of their YC session, unlike so many startup founders who stay in the Valley because of the proximity to venture capital and qualified employees, Devon and Mike took Vidyard home to Kitchener, where they have filled the office with local hires, many from their alma mater.
Outside of Vidyard's walls, Mike and Devon work hard to support the entrepreneurs coming up behind them. They invest in new startups, sponsor events and provide mentorship to the companies at Communitech, the Waterloo region's hub for the commercialization of innovative technologies, where Michael serves on the board.
What these two guys are doing is not just "young" entrepreneurship and leadership. It's entrepreneurship and leadership – period. Congrats, guys!

Life Is Infinitely Worthwhile
Birkett, Norman Birkett, Baron 1952-05-23
This div will be replaced by the JW Player.
Interview Participants
And now, This I Believe. Here is Edward R. Murrow.
This I Believe. Sir Norman Birkett is an eminent judge and member of the Privy Council of Great Britain. He left school at the age of 16 to work in his father's dry goods store and did not begin his legal education until in his twenties. Over the years he achieved brilliance as a criminal lawyer. In 1941 he was appointed a judge of the King's Bench in the High Court of Justice, and he is now the lord justice of appeal. Sir Norman, who is nearing 70, has a dry sense of humor and an extraordinary command of voice and language. Here now the beliefs of Sir Norman Birkett.
In the Parable of the Sower, it is the grain that has no depth of root that flourishes for a while and then withers away. So it is with what we fondly call "beliefs." Unless they are firmly rooted, the grim test of experience will destroy them. But those that survive the ordeal will go from strength to strength.
In a pretty full life, nearly 40 years of it spent in the Low Courts, I reckon to have seen human nature at its best and at its worst, and every shade of behavior in between. And I believe, with a deepening intensity, in the essential worth and dignity of the individual; and what is more, in his essential goodness too. And in these things I believe there lies the best hope of the world.
I know what is said on the other side. I was a judge at Nuremberg for twelve months and listened, among other things, to the story of the wholesale massacre of the Jews. And I know something of the horrible depths to which mankind can fall. But my belief in man's essential worth and goodness, nevertheless, remains firm and unshakable. I am with Robert Louis Stevenson in his view of humanity:
They may seek to escape
And yet they cannot
They are condemned
To some nobility
All their lives long
The desire of good
Is at their heels
The implacable hunter
Now if these beliefs are well founded, there are no limits to what mankind can do. Look at what man has already done. His upward climb has been a continual conquest:
the advance of knowledge in every sphere, the growing triumph over disease, the continuous enlargement of man's opportunity, the increasing recognition of man's inherent dignity. All these things are witnesses to man's unconquerable mind. Apply that to the future. Take just one supremely important matter out of many.
I believe that sovereign states, now so jealous of their sovereignty, will one day willingly defer to an international authority they have, themselves, created, and thus usher in the truly golden age of peace. "Blessed was it in that dawn to be alive." And equally firmly do I believe in the value of each individual life.
I believe that a happy and a useful life is what I may call "the dedicated life;" not dedicated in the sense of what Kipling once called "the plaster saints," no; but brave, blithe, courageous and true lives, dedicated to the "things that are honorable and of good report" among men. It follows that I believe in freedom for the full flowering of human personality, for the ceaseless extension of the frontiers of knowledge, and for the growth of human happiness.
The time isn't long enough for me to expand these beliefs that have stood the test of time.
But in a word, I believe that life is infinitely worthwhile, that each individual has the power to make it so, and so to contribute to the heritage the generations transmit, and to cooperate in the eternal and triumphant advance of mankind. All this, I believe.
Those were the beliefs of the Right Honorable Sir Norman Birkett, Lord Justice of Appeal of Britain.

UK home secretary puzzled by exclusion from Trump banquet
LONDON (AP) — Britain's interior minister said Thursday that he is puzzled about why he wasn't invited to last week's state banquet for U.S. President Donald Trump at Buckingham Palace. Home Secretary Sajid Javid was the only holder of a top Cabinet post not to be invited to the dinner, hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.
Conservative leadership contender and Britain's Home Secretary Sajid Javid delivers a speech to launch his campaign to become the next Conservative prime minister, in London, Wednesday, June 12, 2019.
Javid told the BBC that he had asked the prime minister's office why, but had not received a satisfactory answer. "I was just told that normally home secretaries aren't invited," he said. Javid's predecessor as home secretary, Amber Rudd, attended state banquets for foreign leaders during her term in office.
"I don't like it. It is odd," said Javid, one of several Conservative lawmakers currently running to replace Prime Minister Theresa May. Javid, whose parents came from Pakistan, said he wasn't suggesting the exclusion was connected to his Muslim background.
In 2017, after Trump retweeted a British far-right group, Javid tweeted: "So POTUS has endorsed the views of a vile, hate-filled racist organisation that hates me and people like me. He is wrong and I refuse to let it go and say nothing."
Trump has repeatedly expressed animosity toward another prominent British Muslim politician, London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Trump called Khan a "stone cold loser" as he arrived in the British capital for his three-day visit last week.

Kim Kardashian Addressed Kanye's Mental Health Struggles In An IG Story
By: Dylan Hafer / July 22, 2020
Over the last few weeks, we've watched as Kanye West announced his bid for President, maybe dropped out, and then emphatically didn't drop out, holding a baffling campaign rally over the weekend in South Carolina. Through it all, many have wondered, where is Kim? Aside from a couple of retweets, Kim Kardashian West, normally one of her husband's most vocal fans, remained quiet about Kanye's campaign. And beginning on Monday, Kanye West tweeted dozens of messages on a wide range of personal topics, including issues in his marriage with Kim. At first, the family stayed silent about what was going on, but on Wednesday morning, Kim addressed the situation in an open letter posted to her Instagram story, which serves as a reminder that we need to be careful about how we discuss mental health.
On his 2018 album Ye, Kanye revealed that he lives with bipolar disorder. Last year, in an interview with David Letterman, he discussed what it's like to live with the condition, saying that he gets "hyper-paranoid about everything." Until now, Kim has chosen not to comment publicly on Kanye's mental health, and in today's message, she explains why, saying that she's kept things private in the past to protect her children and Kanye's "right to privacy when it comes to his health."
But in the last few days, Kanye's mental health has been a worldwide topic of conversation, and Kim decided to speak out publicly. She cites the importance of breaking down the "stigma and misconceptions" surrounding mental health as her reason for responding. Kim specifically notes that those who are "unaware or far removed" from these issues can be "judgmental" of those dealing with mental health crises, but that the situation is far from simple. Because Kanye is an adult, the family doesn't have any decision-making power in this situation, and Kim clarifies that the "individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help."
Kim then specifically addresses Kanye's struggles, acknowledging that "his actions can cause strong opinions and emotions," and that his status as a public figure makes him especially subject to criticism. She writes that he is a "brilliant but complicated person," and that due to his disorder, along with other difficult life experiences, his words often don't "align with his intentions." In the last part of her letter, Kim writes that "while we as a society talk about giving grace to the issue of mental health as a whole," that grace should extend to "individuals who are living with [mental health issues] in times when they need it the most." She thanks those who have expressed concern, and asks that that the media and general public give Kanye and his family the "compassion and empathy that is needed."
Kim's letter is an important reminder that there still is a stigma around discussing mental health in our society, and that regardless of your personal opinions on a certain celebrity or figure, we should approach mental health issues with compassion.

Der Modelleisenbahn Hamburg e. V. (MEHEV) ist ein Modelleisenbahnverein mit Sitz in Hamburg. Der 1931 gegründete Verein gilt als der älteste Verein seiner Art in Deutschland. Er betreibt im Hamburger Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte eine Modelleisenbahnanlage in der Nenngröße 1, bei der es sich um eine der längsten Anlagen dieser Art in Deutschland handelt.

Geschichte
Der gemeinnützige Verein "Modelleisenbahn Hamburg e. V." führt sein Bestehen auf das Jahr 1925 zurück. Damals legten zwei junge Leute erstmals ihre Modelleisenbahnen zusammen und veranstalteten Betriebstage zu Weihnachten wechselweise in ihren Elternhäusern. 1929 bildete sich die "Eisenbahntechnische Vereinigung ehemaliger Schüler des Kirchenpauer-Realgymnasiums", die zweimal, im April 1929 und zu Weihnachten 1930, öffentliche Vorführungen in ihrer alten Schule veranstaltete.

Die erste große Anlage, noch mit Schienen und Fahrzeugen der Spielwarenindustrie, wurde zu Weihnachten 1931 in der Gelehrtenschule des Johanneums aufgebaut. Mainzer Bahnanlagen dienten als Vorbild. Die Ausstellung fand große Beachtung in der Öffentlichkeit und ein positives Echo in der Presse. Kurz vorher, am 10. November 1931 war der Modelleisenbahn Hamburg e. V. gegründet worden. Gründungsmitglied und 1. Vorsitzender war Walter Hävernick, der spätere Direktor des Museums für Hamburgische Geschichte.

Am 23. Januar 1937 wurde dann die erste feste Anlage in der Bergstraße 14 in einem 128 m² großen Raum nach dem Vorbild des Bahnhofs Göttingen eröffnet. Die Anlage wurde mit kriegsbedingten Unterbrechungen bis zum 28. Juli 1948 an 51 Betriebstagen gezeigt.

Verkehrshistorische Anlage im Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte

Anfang und Aufbau
Am 1. April 1947 wurde Walter Hävernick als Nachfolger von Otto Lauffer zum Direktor des Museums für Hamburgische Geschichte berufen. Das Gebäude war durch Bombentreffer schwer beschädigt. Schon im Februar 1946 wurde entschieden, im 600 m² großen Raum im 2. Stock des Südwestflügels eine Modelleisenbahnanlage aufzubauen. Für den Raum, der seit der Eröffnung des Museums leer gestanden hatte, war ursprünglich der Einbau des rekonstruierten Gartensaales aus der Villa Rücker in Hamm (erbaut 1828–1831) geplant gewesen. Dem entsprach auch die Bauplanung von Oberbaudirektor Fritz Schumacher aus dem Jahr 1906 und deren Ausführung. Einige Teile waren jedoch dem Krieg zum Opfer gefallen, so dass die Ausführung des früheren Plans wenig sinnvoll erschien. Thematisch passte die Eisenbahn ausgezeichnet in das Konzept des neuen Direktors, der kein Altertumsmuseum, sondern ein "lebendiges Museum" aufbauen wollte zur Darstellung von Handel, Wirtschaft und Verkehr in Hamburg.

Nach einem Ideenwettbewerb am 29. März 1947 wurde im Herbst 1947 mit der Herrichtung des Raumes und dem Aufbau der Modellbahn im Maßstab 1:32 begonnen. Dargestellt wurden der Personenbahnhof Hamburg-Harburg mit Rangierbahnhof und Ablaufberg sowie Bw Harburg, der Hamburg Hannoversche Bahnhof und der Hafenbahnhof Kai rechts. Entscheidend für die Wahl dieser Bahnanlagen war die Darstellung und Erklärung des typischen Eisenbahnbetriebes an Hamburger Orten im Modell sowie die Nähe der Vorbilder im Original.

Erweiterungen

Die erste Hälfte des Modells, die sogenannte Harburger Seite, wurde am 7. Oktober 1949 in Anwesenheit zahlreicher Ehrengäste eröffnet. Wegen eines Stromausfalls bei Vorführungsbeginn wurden die Gäste zuerst in der Kaufmannsdiele bewirtet. Danach konnte die Vorführung nach Beheben des Schadens doch noch durchgeführt werden. Seitdem wird die jetzige Anlage im Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte täglich (außer Dienstag) vorgeführt und wurde bisher von einigen Millionen Zuschauern besucht. Sie ist damit die älteste,  fast täglich vorgeführte Modelleisenbahn Deutschlands.

Am 1. März 1956 konnte dann die "Rückseite" mit dem Bahnhof "Hamburg Hannoverscher Bahnhof", der "Pfeilerbahn" und dem Hafenbahnhof Kai rechts, zehn Jahre nach Baubeginn 1947, gezeigt werden.

Elektrifizierung
Am 5. April 1965 wurde der Oberleitungsbetrieb im Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte auf der Modellbahnanlage aufgenommen im Beisein von Artur Petzold, Präsident der Bundesbahndirektion Hamburg, Walter Hävernick, Direktor des Museums für Hamburgische Geschichte und erster Vorsitzender des MEHEV sowie anderen Ehrengästen.

Einen Tag später, am 6. April 1965 erreichte der Eröffnungszug, gezogen von einer Elektrolokomotive der Baureihe E 10, Hamburg aus Hannover kommend. Anschließend wurde eine Plakette an der E 10 360 enthüllt, gestiftet von Modelleisenbahn Hamburg und der Schwestervereinigung Freunde der Eisenbahn. Die Plakette erinnerte deutschlandweit an dieses Ereignis.

Gleis- und Elektrik-Erneuerung
Im Frühjahr 1994 legte ein Kurzschluss einen großen Teil der Anlage lahm. Vorführungen konnten erst wieder ab Dezember 1994 auf einem Teilstück der Anlage durchgeführt werden. Viele Gleise und Fahrzeuge waren verschlissen. Einige Lokomotiven hatten bereits etwa 6000 Kilometer zurückgelegt. Im Februar 1995 verlangte ein Brandschutzgutachten, praktisch die gesamte Verkabelung zu erneuern. Eine komplette Überarbeitung war nötig. Alle alten Gleise wurden durch maßstäblich verbesserte ersetzt. Damit verbunden war die Umstellung vom Dreileiter-Wechselstrom- auf das Zweileiter-Gleichstrom-System und die Notwendigkeit, alle einzusetzenden Fahrzeuge entsprechend umzurüsten. Für die Steuerung der Anlage wurde das PC-gestützte System der Firma Gahler und Ringstmeier verwendet. Am 6. Dezember 1996 konnten die Vorführungen mit 16 Zügen auf etwa 40 % der Gleisanlagen wieder beginnen. Zum 50-jährigen Anlagenjubiläum am 7. Oktober 1999 konnten weitere wesentliche Teile der Anlage wieder in Betrieb genommen werden.

Zum 65-jährigen Jubiläum am 7. Oktober 2014 hat die Modelleisenbahnanlage eine beispielhafte Detaillierung und Zuverlässigkeit im Vorführbetrieb erreicht. Da hundert Jahre Eisenbahngeschichte dargestellt werden, wurde auch der Vorführfahrplan angepasst. Am Anfang verkehren Fahrzeuge aus der Reichsbahnzeit mit vielen Dampflokomotiven, danach folgen Diesel- und Elektrofahrzeuge bis hin zur Darstellung der modernen Deutschen Bahn mit ICE und Containerverkehr.

Abbaupläne
Betrieb und Bestand der Modelleisenbahn ist nicht gesichert. Die heutige Museumsleitung möchte den bisher für die Modelleisenbahnanlage genutzten Raum für die Ausstellung geretteter Teile der Villa Rücker verwenden. Nach gegenwärtigem Planungsstand (August 2021) soll die Anlage ab Januar 2023 abgebaut und verpackt werden. Ein Neuaufbau nach einer Grundrenovierung des Museums ist im dritten Obergeschoss geplant, allerdings auf deutlich kleinerer Fläche. Gespräche dazu laufen zwischen dem Museum und MEHEV als Betreiberverein; seitens des Vereins gibt es aber noch viele offene Fragen. Auch ist die Finanzierung des Umbaus noch völlig offen.

Hamburger Blätter
Am 20. Mai 1954 erschien die erste Ausgabe der "Hamburger Blätter für alle Freunde der Eisenbahn" (in den ersten beiden Monaten noch mit dem Zusatz "… und des Nahverkehrs"), zunächst vervielfältigt in einer Auflage von 100 Exemplaren, die im Laufe eines Jahres auf 300 Stück erhöht wurde. Ab März 1955 sorgte ein dem Verein wohlgesonnenes Unternehmen für den Offsetdruck (bis Ende 1965 Format DIN A 4, Schreibmaschinenschrift). Entsprechend der Nachfrage erhöhte sich die Auflage ständig (Ende 1956: 1000 Exemplare). Ab 1966 erschienen die Hamburger Blätter im Buchdruck. Mit sinkender Nachfrage verringerte sich dann allerdings der Erscheinungszyklus im Laufe der Zeit bis auf quartalsweises Erscheinen; seit 2019 sind die Hamburger Blätter in den Hamburger Nahverkehrs-Nachrichten HN & HB aufgegangen.

Nahestehende Organisationen

Freunde der Eisenbahn

Anfangs wurden die Hamburger Blätter von MEHEV herausgegeben. Die stark gestiegene Auflage führte zur Schaffung eines eigenen Trägerkreises. Am 10. Januar 1957 wurde die Schwestervereinigung Freunde der Eisenbahn e. V. (FdE) gegründet, damals mit dem gleichen Vorstand wie MEHEV. Bis 2018 vertrieb FdE die Hamburger Blätter, die inzwischen in HN & HB aufgegangen sind (siehe oben). Die Mitgliederzahl war bis Ende 1960 auf 1050 Mitglieder angewachsen, darunter der damalige Verkehrsminister Seebohm. Zwei Drittel der Leser wohnten außerhalb Hamburgs.

Die gemeinsamen Wurzeln von Mehev und FdE erkennt man noch heute am Abfahrtsgleis der Sonderzüge im Bahnhof Harburg der Mehev-Museumsanlage: Hier wartet der "Ameisenbär" auf die Gäste einer Sonderfahrt Modelleisenbahn Hamburg e. V. und Freunde der Eisenbahn e. V. Ein Original Ameisenbär fährt auch auf der Museumsbahn der Verkehrsamateure (VVM) zwischen Schönberg und Schönberger Strand.

Hamburger Museumsverein
Am 11. Oktober 1957 erfolgte die Gründung des Hamburger Museumsvereins, der alle Verlagsgeschäfte für das Museum übernahm und führte. Grundstock war eine kleine Druckerei, die im Museum seit 1921 existierte. Seit dem 1. Januar 1969 wurden die Hamburger Blätter und auch der FdE-Kalender vom Hamburger Museumsverein – Abteilung Eisenbahn – verlegt.

Verein Verkehrsamateure und Museumsbahn (VVM)
Der Verein Verkehrsamateure und Museumsbahn entstand 1968 aus einem Zusammenschluss vom "Kleinbahn-Verein Wohldorf" (KVW), gegründet am 30. November 1958 und zahlreicher Verkehrsamateure, auch aus dem Mitgliederkreis von MEHEV. Schwerpunkt der Vereinstätigkeit ist der Erhalt und Betrieb musealer Originalfahrzeuge als auch die Beschäftigung mit historischem und modernem Nahverkehr.

Dachorganisationen

Bundesverband Deutscher Eisenbahn-Freunde
Aus dem Verband Deutscher Modelleisenbahn-Clubs, abgekürzt VDMC, und zahlreichen anderen Vereinigungen von Eisenbahnfreunden entstand der Bundesverband Deutscher Eisenbahn-Freunde, abgekürzt BDEF, als Interessenvertreter von Eisenbahnfreunden und Modelleisenbahnern. Bei der Gründung am 29. Juni 1958 in Frankfurt (Main) beteiligten sich 31 Vereinigungen mit 1212 Einzelmitgliedern. Dem Vorstand des Bundesverband Deutscher Eisenbahn-Freunde gehörten bei Gründung neben Walter Hävernick noch zwei weitere MEHEV-Mitglieder an. 2021 ist er Dachverband von 298 Vereinen mit einigen tausend Mitgliedern.

Verband der Modelleisenbahner und Eisenbahnfreunde Europas
Seit dem 11. September 1954 besteht der in Genua gegründete Verband der Modelleisenbahner und Eisenbahnfreunde Europas, abgekürzt MOROP, der aus einem Arbeitskreis von Modellspezialisten hervorgegangen ist. MEHEV war erstmals nach Fertigstellung der Modellbahnanlage 1956 beim Kongress in Bern vertreten. 1962 wurde der Kongress des Verband der Modelleisenbahner und Eisenbahnfreunde Europas, die Jahreshauptversammlung, in Hamburg ausgerichtet. 1972 wurde Carl Boie Salchow vom Modelleisenbahn Hamburg Präsident des Verbandes.

Q: Pouchdb is not pushing documents on desktop (but pull works) I have a web app that worked fine both on desktop and mobile. It uses PouchDB to sync documents between instances, and as I said, it worked fine on mobile as well as desktop. But recently (not sure when) it stopped to work partially on desktop. This means that it pulls documents from the remote Cloudant server, but it is unable to push documents. The funny thing is that the same exact version is able to pull and push documents if I run it on my mobile chrome. I can't understand why.
The only issue that I can find is a failed get request to the remote server (returns a 404):
 https://username.cloudant.com/my_diary/_local/7lsY4rQGdHqHlZEO8Z9aLg%3D%3D?
Any advice (even on how to setup a better debug) is very welcome
Pouchdb version 5.4.5
EDIT:
Digging deeper I tried to replicate to an non existing database. The new database is created fine and filter and index documents are pushed correctly to it. But real documents are not being included in synchronization. Since putting documents manually (that's how I create indexes and filters) works, I suspect there is some kind of problem with the replication.

A: At the end the sync issues were caused because the design document that was being used for filtering did not exist on the local database. It was hard to debug because:

*

*It was an old document and was being used before on the local
databases. Some databases kept an old copy of it and therefore they
worked

*On the newer databases the document did not exist, but
synchronization was happening one-way, this confused me a lot. Not
sure if this is normal.

Follow up to April Midtown Brews: Mighty Blue: The Great Lakes Basin Compact
Submitted by Betsey Merkel on Sat, 05/17/2008 - 13:39.
From Marnie Urso, Audubon Ohio and guest for the April Midtown Brews forum on the Great Lakes Basin Water Compact:
1) Compact Wins Final Approval; Some Observations, And A Reassurance From The DNR
Wednesday, May 14, 2008, The Political Environment blog by James Rowen
The Great Lakes Compact was approved by the Assembly late Wednesday on a 92-1 vote, meaning it passed both houses with only single "no" votes in each, and will be signed by Gov. Jim Doyle.

2) Great Lakes compact passes
Measure awaits Doyle's signature; Assembly narrowly OKs budget-repair bill
By STACY FORSTER and PATRICK MARLEY
sforster [at] journalsentinel [dot] com
Posted: May 14, 2008, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=751119
Madison - Both houses of the Legislature overwhelmingly approved the Great Lakes compact Wednesday, sending it to Gov. Jim Doyle and putting pressure on the states that have not yet ratified it.
The Assembly also narrowly approved the budget-repair bill passed by the Senate Tuesday. That package now heads to Doyle, who has said he will rewrite it with vetoes.
Lawmakers praised passage of the compact as a historic step for Wisconsin - as well as the other seven Great Lakes states. They said it would protect a resource critical to the state's culture and economic development and give thirsty communities in southeastern Wisconsin a path for tapping Great Lakes water.
The compact is an agreement by eight Great Lakes states and two Canadian provinces to protect the lakes from large-scale water diversions and promote water conservation. It passed the state Senate 32-1 and the Assembly 96-1.
Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) and Rep. Sheryl Albers (R-Reedsburg) were the only legislators to oppose it.
It now heads to the desk of Doyle, who has pledged to sign it.
"Wisconsin has been blessed with one of the world's most incredible natural resources," Doyle said in a statement. "In a world where water is becoming more precious, the Great Lakes help Wisconsin businesses grow and attract new businesses to our state."
Concern that states to the west and south will look to divert water from the Great Lakes has added urgency to efforts to protect them.
"The waters of the Great Lakes do not belong to Wisconsin, they do not belong to Michigan, they do not belong to New York," said Sen. Mark Miller (D-Monona), who helped craft the legislation. "They do not belong to any state. They belong to all of us. They are a shared resource."
A majority of the Great Lakes states have now approved the compact; Wisconsin joins Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and New York in passing it.
Once it is ratified in the remaining states - Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania - it must be ratified by Congress.
The Wisconsin Senate first voted on the compact in March, but the Assembly objected to certain provisions and didn't act on it before the regular legislative session ended.
After negotiations between Doyle's staff and legislative leaders yielded a deal, Doyle last month called a special session of the Legislature.
Rep. Scott Gunderson (R-Waterford), who worked with Miller on the bill, noted there were doubts that he and Assembly Republicans would pass a compact but said it was necessary to address concerns before adopting the compact.
"We've got something that will protect the Great Lakes for generations to come," Gunderson said. "Sometimes you've just got to sit back, take a breath, do our work and communicate, and when we do that we come up with historic legislation as we have before us today."
Although there were some changes made to plans for implementing it, the compact's original language was untouched, including the element to which some objected - that one of the eight governors could stand in the way of any future water diversion to a community entirely outside the Great Lakes basin.
Local diversions possible
The clearing of a path to Great Lakes water is important for communities such as New Berlin and Waukesha. The compact blocks diversions outside the basin but grants exceptions to communities and counties that straddle the Great Lakes basin dividing line if treated wastewater is returned to the lakes.
Communities denied diversions that otherwise meet criteria in the compact may appeal and sue.
Passage of the compact earned praise from local leaders and conservation groups throughout the state.
Waukesha Mayor Larry Nelson said the legislation provides clear guidelines for communities such as Waukesha.
"We need a new water supply, and Lake Michigan would be the most sustainable choice," Nelson said. "This legislation will allow us to pursue that option."
Jodi Habush Sinykin, a lawyer from Midwest Environmental Advocates, said the deal was "a strong, protective compact."
Anne Sayers, program director for the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters, said passage of the compact was critical because other states are looking anywhere they can to solve their water problems.
"The fact that we have 20% of the world's fresh water sitting in the Great Lakes has not gone unnoticed by other thirsty states," she said.
Passage in Wisconsin puts pressure on the remaining statesto move the compact forward.
"It will create a domino effect, and other states will follow suit," Miller said.
Sharon Cook, water conservation program director for the Alliance for the Great Lakes, said Wisconsin's ability to pass a bill despite some of the challenges the state faced sends a message to others it can be done.
Albers and Lazich said there were too many unanswered questions about the effect of the compact, prompting their "no" votes.
"The broadness of the document, the lack of definition of what's going to happen in the future, gives me pause," Lazich said.
In other action, the Assembly approved 51-46 a package to repair the state budget.
Nineteen Democrats joined 32 Republicans to push the bill through the GOP-controlled house.
Members of both parties bashed the deal on the Assembly floor, calling it irresponsible for refinancing the state's tobacco settlement payments, relying on what they called accounting tricks and not making tougher budget cuts.
"If we cannot find the resolve to actually cut spending in an economic downturn, we will never be able to do so," said Rep. Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa).
"This is horrible policy - policy that is going to come back to bite you in the future," said Rep. Frank Boyle (D-Superior).
Leaders from both parties said the deal was flawed but that it was the only one they could get through a split Legislature.
Doyle has said he dislikes major aspects of the bill and will rewrite it with his powerful veto pen.
Lawmakers passed a two-year budget in October, but adjustments are needed because tax collections are now expected to be $652 million lower than first projected.
Journal Sentinel reporters Darryl Enriquez in Waukesha and Dan Egan in Milwaukee contributed to this report.

The Declining Great Lakes
Submitted by Ronduck on Sun, 05/18/2008 - 17:41.
This article shows how the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the 1960's began the draining of the Great Lakes. Essentialy, the rivers into and out of the Great Lakes were dredged allowing more water to flow out of the lakes.
http://www.thenewamerican.com/node/4808
"GBA, not satisfied by the official explanation, pressed on and financed a study of lake drainage by the respected engineering and consulting firm Baird and Associates Coastal Engineers. The Baird study, led by Dr. Rob Nairn, reached an alarming conclusion. The study found, reported the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, that "a 1962 Army Corps of Engineers dredging project, done in conjunction with St. Lawrence Seaway construction, essentially pulled the plug on Lakes Michigan and Huron, sending an average of nearly 1 billion gallons a day out to sea."

Ronduck--thanks for the link to the New American, which presents a historic context for this debate and I am scared.
As a culture, we have no respect for watersheds and the protection of water quality. This will get a whole lot uglier.

The New American Is published by the John Birch Society, they wrote the article to point out that there are very real environmental threats here in the US other than global warming, which they believe to be a hoax.
I think the best solution for the declining lakes would be to build a lock and dam between Lake Erie and the lake that feeds it to control the unneccessary outflow.

Even though there is no such thing as perfection most of us have an ideal in our minds we want to match. When real world outcomes don't match this ideal, we feel imperfect when in fact the result may actually thrill an audience. These short challenges are designed to leave perfection behind and focus on allowing the outcomes drive what comes next.
There are always new skills to learn so that you get to the next level of mastery to any craft. As a creative entrepreneur getting to that next level will probably involve different skills than those that got you to where you are now.

Major Senate election bills are scrapped to remind Democrats of limits on power
WASHINGTON — For Democrats, the week began with plans for an epic showdown featuring the fight to pass legislation and a battle over Senate rules.
Instead, the week ended with a fizzle – no votes and a promise to come back next week to try again. But even the delay, forced by a Senate Democrat who tested positive for Covid-19 and had to isolate himself, may still be in vain since no one has managed to convince the two recalcitrants to change their minds.
Democrats, after weeks of trying to blame Republicans for the heist, instead ended up fighting among themselves over whether they wanted to change Senate rules to pass the bills on a party vote.
President Joe Biden and Democratic leaders have described the struggle as a choice between saving democracy and risking a slide into autocracy.
But that wasn't enough to win them the votes they needed. Two centrist Democrats said "no" to Biden. That means the Senate will miss a self-imposed MLK Day deadline to vote on the Free Suffrage Act and the John Lewis Advancing Voting Rights Act, both of which have unanimous Democratic support but no hope of reaching the 60 needed to defeat a buccaneer.
"Make no mistake about it, the United States Senate will, for the first time in this Congress, debate voting rights legislation beginning on Tuesday," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday evening before to adjourn the room for the long weekend.
"And if Senate Republicans choose filibuster over protecting the sacred right to vote, as we expect, the Senate will consider and vote on changing Senate rules," he said.
It was a week that reminded Democrats how fragile their power is in Washington, despite the scrutiny of the White House and Congress. Tiny majorities, even when unified, aren't enough to push through some of Biden's campaign promises while Sen. Joe Manchin, DW.Va., and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Arizona, strongly support the maintaining the Senate's 60-vote rule to pass most laws.
The Senate was prepared to at least debate the issue using a workaround triggered by the House passing both bills. But an unexpected positive Covid test for Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, torpedoed those Senate hopes 50-50.
A year of lobbying campaigns and pressure from Democratic leaders, congressional colleagues, progressive advocates and the civil rights community has fallen flat with Manchin and Sinema, who say they support the ballot bills but do not want to change the rules to make them pass.
The issue is a high priority for Democratic constituencies, and Schumer seems intent on registering every senator who is voting, even if it ends in an embarrassing defeat for the party. A battle that party leaders hoped would galvanize their base and exert political pressure on Republicans has instead turned into a bitter infighting between Democrats.
A fiery speech by Biden on Tuesday in Atlanta failed to change Manchin and Sinema's minds, even as the president, a 36-year veteran of the Senate himself, described it as a struggle to save the American democracy from restrictive election laws in Republic-led states and former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn elections.
Biden said the moment called for a rule change, arguing that every senator must decide whether to side with civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. or segregationist George Wallace.
Sinema disagreed. Before arriving on Capitol Hill on Thursday to make her case to Senate Democrats, she walked into the Senate and stabbed the effort. She said she continues to support the 60-vote threshold, arguing that without it the United States would see "savage shifts in federal politics" and governance "pushed from the middle to the extremes."
After Biden's visit, Manchin reaffirmed his position: "I will not vote to eliminate or weaken the filibuster."
Biden saw the writing on the wall, acknowledging the effort may fail. But he noted that earlier civil rights measures had also failed before they could be passed and the bills could be revived later.
"Hopefully we can achieve that," he told reporters on Capitol Hill. "But I'm not sure."
He added: "If we miss the first time, we can come back and try the second time."
Other Democrats could not hide their disappointment.
"It's disheartening," Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., said Friday on MSNBC, calling Manchin and Sinema's remarks a "setback."
He said he "hopes against hope" that the bills can still pass the Senate.
Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Arizona, appeared on CNN on Friday and slammed Sinema, saying Arizonans were "very upset" with her for "blocking voting rights legislation." He said she stuck to the "old tenets" of Senate tradition and called her views "inconsistent" with voters.
He also left the door open to challenge her in a 2024 Democratic primary, but said he would not decide until after the midterm elections.
"I never say no in the future," Gallego said, adding that for now he would continue to hold public meetings, "something she should try to do from time to time."
