Build with kupuna in mind – Honolulu StarAdvertiser

Hawaii is graying rapidly. About 17 percent of Hawaii's population is 65 and older. The University of Hawaii Center on Aging projects that more than 28 percent of Hawaii's population will be at least 65 years old by 2040.
Here, where island culture lends itself to families caring for their kupuna, the growth of the older population has and will continue to affect families and living arrangements in Hawaii. Building and renovating so grandma can live with the family can be tricky. Many homes are more than 50 years old and were not built to handle an aging population dependent on wheelchairs, walkers and oxygen tanks.
With nearly 28 years of helping hundreds of Hawaii families, Graham Builders recognizes the importance of educating homeowners about the modifications needed to help family members stay at home as they get older.
In fact, Graham Builders was the first firm in Hawaii to have a certified aging-in-place specialist — a certification program administered by the National Association of Home Builders — on staff. Today, Graham Builders is proud to have three specialists helping families make necessary changes for the mobility and safety of the elderly residing in their homes.
"With Hawaii's population aging so rapidly, it's important that universal design and accessibility are the starting points of design for all homes," said Ryan Graham, vice president of Graham Builders. "Being young and healthy should not deter homeowners from considering universal design features for their homes, as this allows for comfort no matter what their health circumstances are. The key words to remember are safety, security, comfort and health."
Basic aging-in-place and universal design features include single-level homes, larger bathrooms with zero-step showers and a more open layout that allows for ease of moving from room to room. Other features include better and more accessible storage, non-slip surfaces, nightlights, space for caregivers and technology for assisted care, such as electrical bandwidth for monitoring machines.
Some features such as grab bars, comfort-height toilets and some home security systems are low-cost items. Others such as wider hallways and doors, good lighting and no-step features are considered medium-cost items but work well for wheelchairs and baby strollers.
Attend the next "Building Your Home for Life" seminar on Saturday, June 2 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Honolulu Country Club. Seminars are free, but reservations are required. To register for a seminar, visit grahambuilders.com/seminars or call 534-7858.


Traditionally at the heart of Japanese culture, the special matcha tea ceremony (Chanoyu) is also known as 'The Way of Tea'. It is a perfect demonstration of etiquette and grace, and brings a feeling of peace, harmony and happiness.
To embrace the Japanese tradition and perform the ceremony at home, you'll need your bowl (chawan), whisk (chasen), and traditional bamboo scoop (momoka) Traditional Japanese Matcha tea starter kit includes everything you need to start right away. While you're preparing your matcha tea, it's a time to relax, unwind and take yourself away from the worries of the day.
In your bowl, mix half a level teaspoon in to a paste using around 40mls of cold water.
Whisk (ideally with a bamboo chasen) in an 'M' shape until frothy.
Heat another 150mls of water to around 70°C, stir in to the paste and drink immediately.
To make a latte, replace the water with your milk of choice, adding a dash of honey.
We source our matcha from a small eco-run farm in Shizuoka, Japan and it's the product of many hours of love, and many years of skill. This ceremony grade matcha is the absolute best that we found during our travels. Read about our sourcing trip here.
Loving my new matcha set. I take the time out each day to go through my little ritual and make my small cup of zen. Perfect! Thanks Kanuka.
A lovely set to start your Matcha experience. The tea is of very good consistency and taste. However, its origin is not declared on the package so it is unknown where exactly it comes from.
Many thanks for your feedback. I appreciate we haven't specified our region in Japan that our tea comes from but I can confirm our matcha is sourced from a small eco-run farm in Shizuoka. This is stated on the website, we just didn't have lots of space on the packaging. Kindest Regards, the Kanuka Team.
Is your matcha tea organic and what grade is it ?
Hello Brenda, our Matcha powder is sourced from a eco-farm in Shizuoka, Japan who are working to become 100% certified organic. We do not have a grade as such but it is 100% Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder; the absolute best that we found during our travel.
Just made my first matcha latte with my new matcha starter kit. It was very yummy, easy to mix and the bowl is a great size too, lots of other sets available online seem tiny so this fits the bill for me. Great fast service too.
I love different teas and you get some great choices in Kanuka. Looking forward to my next order.

IK4-IKERLAN participates in a European project that will encourage the electric bus
The Assured initiative will develop and integrate new generation of high power chargers for buses and lorries
The technological centre will boost, along with Vectia and ABB, within the same work group, the exhibition of the exploitation of 100% electric buses through in-service fast charging that guarantees the interoperability with other manufacturers.
The automotive sector seeks technologically advanced solutions enabling to replace current combustion engines by more healthy and environmentally friendly systems. In this context, the development of electric power drives has become an effective alternative to private vehicles, buses and lorries.
With the aim of contributing to this electrification, IK4-IKERLAN participates in the European project called Assured. The objective of this project is to develop a new generation of high power chargers (up to 600 kW) for different manufacturers of heavy vehicles.
At the same time, the initiative will create the required standards and regulations to facilitate the integration and interoperability of these systems of super-fast recharge by the manufacturers and operators.
The project, starting this October with a duration of four years, is framed within the H2020 Programme of the European Commission, and shall have a budget of EUR 18.7 million
Assured, led by Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), will bring together more than 40 benchmark companies and entities of the standing of Vectia, Iveco, Volvo, MAN, Irizar, Siemens or Alstom, among others.
Under Assured, IK4-IKERLAN will focus on the analysis and assessment of the main factors that affect the proper function of storage systems (especially in lithium-ion batteries), such as the wear and tear affecting batteries in the course of their useful life or their performance reported in high power operating regimes.
In addition, the technology centre of Arrasate-Mondragón will design strategies for energy management, in order to maximize efficiency during charging and operation of vehicles, increase their autonomy and contribute to environmental sustainability in the cities.
To prove the solutions in real environments, IK4-IKERLAN will share the work group with Vectia (Grupo CAF), the electric buses manufacturer and the ABB engineering company, with the purpose of showing the exploitation of 100% electric buses with super-fast recharge (less than 5 minutes) that will have an autonomy range of 10km between charging stations.
"This collaboration represents a key step forward in our commitment to progress in technologies that allow us to offer global solutions for a more sustainable urban transportation," claims Javier Ramos, Technical Director of Vectia Mobility, SL.
The project will also assess 10 chargers. Specifically, the new solutions will be installed in six buses for city buses, three lorries (two waste collectors and a delivery lorry) and a light vehicle, which will be put into circulation in various European cities.
The experience of IK4-IKERLAN
The technological centre has an extensive track record in systems of energy storage based on in lithium-ion, as well as in the development of algorithms of health and the estimation of battery lifetime. He has also worked on systems of recharge and its effect on the life of the batteries.
Specifically, the technological centre has been investigating the different challenges raised within the Assured Project for years, such as enhanced management strategies, operating costs minimization or useful life extension of storage systems.
In this regard, IK4-IKERLAN has worked with companies in the sector of mobility, such as CAF, and electric companies, such as Iberdrola Renovables, among others.
"These initiatives allow us to keep building knowledge in the storage systems, power electronics and energy management environments together with the main manufacturers and suppliers of the sector in Europe, to implement them afterwards in projects with our clients," concludes Mir.

Solving the energy problems is a top priority for the United States' aid program, with a State Department delegation here this week, led by Ambassador Carlos Pascual, the Obama administration's special envoy on international energy affairs.
But Pakistan's plans for a 1,700-mile natural gas pipeline from Iran, which would provide Pakistan with a cheaper source of fuel for electricity generation, is a stumbling block.
Mark Stroh, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, described the talks as constructive and collegiate but confirmed that U.S. officials told the Pakistanis that the proposed Iran-Pakistan pipeline would run afoul of U.S. sanctions on Iran. Such deals "undermine the international community's effort to pressure Iran into meeting its international obligations" regarding its nuclear program, Stroh said.
"The proposed Iran-Pakistan pipeline, if it is built, could raise concerns," Stroh said. "We have raised this issue with the government of Pakistan and we are encouraging the government to seek alternatives."
The Iran Sanctions Act, originally passed in 1996, prohibits U.S. investment in Iran but also applies to other foreign investors. The Pakistan government this month gave the go-ahead to the Iran pipeline, though it remains unclear how Islamabad would finance its $1.65 billion share of the cost.
An alternative, preferred by the U.S., would be for Pakistan to import the gas from Central Asia, via a pipeline that passes through war-torn Afghanistan.
Pakistan's biggest export earner by far, the textile industry, is concentrated in Punjab province, which has been badly hit by the power shortage, throwing thousands out of work. Many factories simply close when there's no piped gas, which runs boilers and other machinery.
Ejaz Gohar, chairman of the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association, which represents the big textile manufacturers, said that shutting off gas for two days a week meant a 21 percent increase in costs.
"Our industry is bleeding," Gohar said. "A lot of companies have not been able to sustain the increase in costs. How can we be competitive in this situation?"
Pakistan's electricity generating problems go back decades, with critics saying the industry is badly mismanaged, is loaded with debt and isn't making use of the generating capacity it has.
Despite Pakistan's huge hydroelectric potential, it hasn't built a big dam project since the 1970s. Since the U.S.-backed government of President Asif Zardari was elected in 2008, a mushrooming chain of "circular" debt has enveloped the power sector.
The government has assumed $3.6 billion of the power industry's debt. The government-owned power grid owes another $2.5 billion to private-sector generators, even as the government, according to Finance Ministry figures, spent at least $7.4 billion on electricity subsidies during the 2008-2010 period.
Washington and international lenders such as the International Monetary Fund have repeatedly urged Pakistan to cut subsidies, which anemic government finances cannot afford.
Critics say that the government hasn't added to the electricity infrastructure in its three-and-a-half year term, while sinking billions of dollars into unproductive subsidies and taking on debt.
Of the $3.6 billion debt the government assumed, half were bills the government itself hadn't paid, said Ejaz Rafiq Qureshi, the spokesman of the Pakistan Electric Power Co., the state-owed national electricity grid. The rest is owed by private consumers.
At the end of August, a group of nine private power plants demanded that the government pay them within 30 days $540 million it owed for power generation.
Roughly half of Pakistan's current electricity output of 13,000 megawatts comes from the private generators. But there is more capacity that the government doesn't use. Government-owned equipment that could generate another 2,000 megawatts has been sidelined because of poor maintenance. Private equipment that could generate another 2,500 megawatts has been taken out of service because the government hasn't paid its bills, said Abdullah Yusuf, who represents the private producers. Combined, that amounts roughly to the entire immediate shortfall.
"If you had this capacity available, straight away your problem would be solved," said Yusuf.
A longer-term energy project is Pakistan's proposed $12 billion Diamer Basha dam, which would add 4,500 megawatts to Pakistan's electricity generating capacity. Washington is considering providing significant funding to the project. Separately, the U.S. Agency for International Development is currently working on projects that will add 900 megawatts to the Pakistani grid next year.

I was getting ready to think up something else for dinner when the idea hit me. Why not make polenta out of chickpea flour? Who says it has to be made from corn? I use chickpea flour for just about everything – omelets, baking, and even scrambles when I want a soy-free version.
I was thinking about how I make polenta fries – it starts with just making the polenta and then refrigerating it until it sets. Then you fry or bake them.
When I make chickpea fries, it's the same procedure so I figured I could skip the refrigerator part and just make the polenta.
It worked. The chickpea flour cooked up nice and thick and then I melted Daiya cheddar cheese into it. It was thick, creamy, cheesy and delicious with all the Italian spices I added. Oh, and the Orange Balsamic BBQ Tempeh was delicious too. The BBQ sauce is a bit sweet and a bit spicy with a lovely orange undertone. I pan-fried the tempeh but you could bake it too as in this recipe.
Sometimes I discover the best recipes when I have to improvise. My Orange Balsamic BBQ Tempeh with Cheesy Chickpea Polenta was an incredible discovery and it satisfied my cravings for barbecue. Enjoy!
Bring the water to a boil in a medium sized saucepan. Add the chickpea flour slowly and stir until smooth. Add 1 Tbs. oil and the spices and mix for another minute or two until it is thickened. Stir in the milk and melt in the cheese. Keep covered until ready to serve. If it gets too thick, add more milk. Serve hot.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Stir and heat over medium heat until it comes to a bubble. Lower the heat and let simmer for 30 minutes until it thickens. Taste for seasoning adjustments. Set aside.
Combine all the spices for the rub. Cut two blocks of tempeh in half and then slice each half like you slice a bagel for thinner pieces. Cut each piece into whatever shape you want. I like to end up with 8 pieces per block of tempeh. Rub the spice mix into the tempeh on both sides of each piece. Heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tempeh and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Cook the tempeh in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. When the tempeh is as browned and crisp as you like it, pour some BBQ sauce into the skillet and toss the tempeh to coat all the pieces in sauce. The sauce will caramelize a bit in the hot pan and glaze the tempeh. Serve over the Chickpea Polenta with extra BBQ sauce.
Top recipe says 4 cups water and 2 cups chickpea flour and bottom recipe says 6 cups water and 2 cups polenta?
This looks interesting. Just got into bed and before I did I took some Tempeh out of the freezer for tomorrow. I have my Tempeh made for me by and Indonesian lady who sends it to me and then I freeze it. It is absolutely fantastic. Then I open my email and there you are with a Tempeh recipe. I haven't eaten Polenta so unsure. I once had difficulty digesting some corn flour chapatis so I tend to stay away from cornmeal. On the other hand I eat sweetcorn so not sure what's going on, may be the flour needs more cooking for me to digest! I might try Polenta, one thing I have realised is things change, that includes food intolerances. Of course being a celiac I wouldn't eat wheat and gluten but how bodies can change enough to tolerate other foods that we once couldn't so might give Polenta a go, make sure I cook it well. I love BBQ flavour, must make my own BBQ sauce, but don't want to use too much sweetner in it.
I gave my friend some of the jackfruit curry today and he said it had chicken in it. Well impressed he was, so am I. Now I am thinking of ways to use jackfruit. Wouldn't mind using it in a sweet and sour dish, I love sweet and sour but not manage to make my own sweet n sour sauce yet, healthy option.
I love you recipe ideas. You keep me going during this debilitating illness.
Hi Loz, the chickpea polenta has no corn in it. Just chickpea flour. So maybe it's ok for you.
Thanks for the link, recipe ideas with the Jackfruit. It is difficult having a chronic illness, three years housebound and minimum cognitive and physical capcity, that is why it takes me so long to do a recipe. Even emailing is a struggle, but I want give up.
I guess the illness is part of my spiritual journey, and so has eating vegan. I don't believe we can see the bigger picture but every so often we get glimpses, I know this illness is preparing me for something and one day I will see it.
I do appreciate your recipe ideas, and its so kind to share.
I will let you know how I get on with the Jackfruit recipes and I will try the chickpea polenta.

Lorenzo was purchased as a successor to Challenger. We have high hopes for his offspring, especially when he is bred to Challenger sired does. Lorenzo was sold in 2018 and left for his new herd October 20th, 2018. He did service in this herd in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Rouser was used as a cover buck between Lorenzo and Challenger. He sired 1 kid in 2015 and 16 kids in 2016. Rouser is a younger half brother of ANM Caprine's Pepper (see below). Consequently his kids are very similar to the Pepper kids born here in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Challenger was sold in September 2014 after he settled the does for the 2015 kidding season. While he was here he sired kids in our herd in 2012, twice in 2013, in 2014, and 2015. We feel very fortunate to have brought in this fine Pruittville buck and gratefully thank Tim Pruitt for letting us purchase him. We saw that Challenger's kids showed udder improvements over their dams.
Pepper was brought into the herd in late 2007. We had animals with influences from the Bluff-Top herd, but had not known about the Pruittville herd. Pepper was our herdshire in 2009, 2010, and 2011. Pepper has 17 registered offspring born into the herd with four does retained. It was the influence of Pepper's sire that convinced us to buy a Pruittville buck.
Buck Rogers was purchased at the same time from the same herd as the four does used to restart the herd in 2006. In his background are some great goats like Price O the Field Dutch Man, Nu Ara's Sidney Chinsucker and Hallcienda Frosty Marvin.


About 4 years ago, I made the transition from working full-time outside of the home to working full-time from home. During those first few months working from home, one of the most difficult things for me to grasp was setting my own self-imposed deadlines.
I was used to the school and business world where there were always plenty of professors, coaches, and bosses telling me (and constantly reminding me) what I had to do and when I had to do it. I always had deadlines (and I loved deadlines) — but for the most part, those deadlines were set for me by someone else.
I knew there would be consequences if I didn't meet those deadlines… so I met them!
However, once I was my own boss I had to work really REALLY hard to stay motivated, push forward, and continue setting goals and deadlines for myself.
It's not that I was irresponsible or lazy; not at all. I just wasn't in the habit of setting my own deadlines — and it was much easier to say "I'll do it later" or "I'll do it when I have more time" (and we all know there is no such thing as "when I have more time"). Those projects just kept getting put off and put off.
It was definitely a bit of a learning curve, but after some time, I began to get the hang of self-imposed deadlines… and the rest is history! Nowadays, I set deadlines for almost everything (even small household projects) because I know how much more productive I am when I have a deadline looming in the near future.
In my personal experience, self-imposed deadlines are one of the key reasons I'm able to do everything I do and still have time left over for fun. Plus, as you'll read below, self-imposed deadlines eliminate SO much stress from my life!
Last year, I shared how I organize my weekly blog posts, and while I don't always write all my blog posts on Friday, I DO almost always finish my blog posts for the week ahead by the previous Saturday night. This might mean that I do a little writing each night after Nora is sleeping, or it might mean that I spend a big chunk of my Saturday writing posts — either way, they are finished by Saturday night and I don't have to worry or stress about quickly finishing my posts late the night before.
I write a variety of posts for different blogs, websites, and print publications each month. And since I don't have the time to write them all in one week, I give myself deadlines to finish one or two guest posts each week. The posts might not actually be due for several weeks, but by setting self-imposed deadlines I'm able to finish all these extra posts without feeling stressed or staying up all night. Plus, I usually have extra time left over to proof read them a few days later (with fresh eyes).
Most of the tasks I do for my Virtual Assistant clients do not need to be completed on a specific day; however, they DO need to be finished by the end of the week. So to make sure I don't have a ton of work waiting for me on Saturday night, I do certain tasks every Tuesday, other tasks on Wednesday, etc. etc. By using self-imposed deadlines, I'm able to space out the work and have a better routine to my days and weeks.
A few weeks ago, I shared Nora's personalized alphabet book — and I mentioned that I gave myself the self-imposed deadline of March 31. If I didn't make the time to finish the book before that date, then I would remove it from my to-do list and wait until summer (or whenever) to take on the project.
Even with smaller tasks like meal-planning and grocery shopping, self-imposed deadlines help me get more done. I always give myself the "deadline" of Sunday night to finish my meal planning and make my grocery list. Then I plan to get groceries on Monday when the store shelves are still stocked.
I've already mentioned that I don't have a specific cleaning routine, but I DO have general tasks that I try to do each day, each week and each month — just so I don't get too far behind on things. Yes, there are days when I REALLY don't feel like doing a load of laundry or cleaning the bathroom, but I try to remind myself that it will only take a few minutes and then I'm done… and I don't have to think about it again for a while.
None of these systems are perfect, and of course, there are times when I don't follow through on my good intentions (shhh… don't tell!). But for the most part, my self-imposed deadlines really help me to stay organized and simplify my busy schedule.
Some of you might be thinking that self-imposed deadlines sound like a lot of work or like I'm working all the time. However, it's exactly the opposite. Yes, it took a bit of time to figure out the right "system" but by setting self-imposed deadlines, I actually work faster, work less, and have MORE time to do fun stuff!
What self-imposed deadlines do you use to stay motivated and on-task?
My Weekly Routine - And How I "Do it All"
I used to give myself daily deadlines, but it actually stressed me out more than helped. Now I have weekly ones, and I find it so much easier to tackle each project knowing I have a full week to finish it. I just pick a few from the list each day according to my motivation and inspiration.
I'm the same way. Setting deadlines for myself really keeps me on track. I have a small notebook that I have with me all the time and I write my to-do lists, my menu plans, and also write down all the most important things that need to be done.
I agree that having self-imposing deadlines really simplifies my life.
I'm a PhD student, so for a while now I've been used to working with self-imposed deadlines because that's mainly how my work is structured.
I notice one benefit of imposing deadlines on myself, besides simply providing the impetus to get more done, is that having a time limit forces me to be realistic about my tasks, instead of perfectionistic. This is true in my PhD work but equally true with other projects around the house. If my time is limited by a deadline, I'm more likely to assess what I can do in that time and be satisfied with that, instead of dragging a task out forever from a desire to do it unnecessarily perfectly.
So many times, as a deadline approaches, I think, 'I can't get this done in time!' because I usually have an exalted standard for what 'finished' means. However, if I take stock of what's really necessary to get the project to an acceptable standard, instead of perfect, in fact I can finish it in time. I'm a natural perfectionist, so deadlines are really helpful for me because they force me to think this way about finishing a project. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be good enough and be done!
Amen Jennifer — thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I totally agree that by setting a deadline, it's easier to be satisfied with "good enough" instead of working and working towards perfection. It's impressive that you not only realize and admit you're a perfectionist, but you also found a way to compensate. Kuddos!
it's not really deadlines, but I set aside 1hr of naptime for house stuff – laundry, cleaning, baking, prepping anything for dinner, paying bills, etc.
I'd like to be better at this myself too. At times when I have imposed a deadline or scheduled my own tasks successfully, it does feel like life flows more smoothly, and I feel great about my accomplishments. However, it does not come naturally to me yet, and this article is a good reminder that it's something I want to put into practice. Thanks!
I need to get better at this. I am good at planning errand days and my schedule, but I need to get more disciplined at the day to day tasks.
I am posting my goals weekly on my blog to hold me accountable!
I spent last night rereading your daily schedules from the past. You are so disciplined!
* I know every week that my goal is to write 5 articles. As well as makt the pictures for the articles Pinterest friendly. By only writing 5, I have the weekends off, can choose my own schedule throughout the week, and then write more if possible.
* I like to do the bulk of my cleaning/laundry/etc in the mornings. I block out around 1 1/2 tolooks nice and I wouldn't be embarrassed if I had visitors. The bulk of my time is spent on laundry, for our family of seven.
* I try to do most of my work before the children get up, naptimes, and at night. It really helps to keep me grounded and focused. I don't schedule exact times, but I generally schedule a block of time. Down to the minute can be a little overwhelming and stressful, if I'm trying to schedule my whole day that way. Some things it is needed for, but for me, not every day and minute of my life.
There is a lot more, but I have to run an errand. So I will stop with these. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Im so glad to see that so many people like you and some of my friends still use the "old fashion" paper calender. I am like you and love to scratch things off and feel like I really got a lot done.
It helps me stay motovated and get more done. I do not think I can ever make the switch to any type of tech calender. I set dead lines for myself also. Its such a bummer when I don't meet them, but I love your words progress not perfection. I was pretty good the month of April and was able to scratch off most of my goals! Thanks for all your helpful post.
I also give myself deadlines, but with as hectic as my schedule is, it's kind of necessary and easier to stay on point because I know if I don't do it in that allotted time frame, it won't get done. I also get with my husband towards the end of each week and find out what things we have to do that weekend and mentally prioritize and figure out what days and time periods I'll do them in.
I actually found that the less busy my schedule is, the less productive I am because there is no time crunch to get things done. Like you, I actually enjoy deadlines and actually function better and am more productive when things are at least a little hectic.
This post was just what I needed. I have a couple of home projects in mind that I'd like to tackle but never "get around to". I think by applying a deadline, it'll motivate me to get it done – and I'll be happy that I accomplished something that was necessary anyway. Great job, Andrea!

Q: How to rearrange $(pgh_b)(s^2)-(pgh_t)(s^2)$ to $(pg)(s^2)(h_b-h_t)$ can someone please show me the steps to go from this
$$ (pgh_b)(s^2)-(pgh_t)(s^2) $$
to this
$$ (pg)(s^2)(h_b-h_t) $$
Thank you.

A: $$(pgh_b)(s^2)-(pgh_t)(s^2)$$
$$= (pg)(h_b)(s^2)-(pg)(h_t)(s^2)$$
Now do a rearrangement of the terms
$$= (pg)(s^2)(h_b)-(pg)(s^2)(h_t)$$
and you can see, by factorization
$$= (pgs^2)(h_b)-(pgs^2)(h_t)$$
And finally you get
$$= (pgs^2)(h_b-h_t) = (pg)(s^2)(h_b-h_t)$$

Going to be that obnoxious person now and say "STORY OF MY LIFE." But, in all seriousness, you defined this truth so succinctly and so perfectly. Great job!
Love it! A picture worth a thousand words!
This in its entirety is pure heka! ♥ Life received…jahla.
Beautiful! I paint, but I don't have a studio. I paint for fun. I was thinking about adding a room for all of my fun things, but will wait for a while. Thank you for such a faithful follower of all of my post in both blogs. I truly appreciate your kindness.
Glad someone has the sense to recognize a great writer and I love her quotes! She's the mother of Science Fiction!
And continues to survive, since tests of convergent and divergent thinking skills used to measure gifted creativity in children are not counted among measures of potential success or aptitude important to colleges and careers, or even jobs.
As we live our childlike dream!
Beautiful quote and the picture 😇.

Gospel Singer/Songwriter, Kimberlee M. Leber, is Making the Earth More Like Heaven with Her New Album 'Like a Tree'
"I spent a lot of solitary time with God to receive these songs, praying constantly and asking God what He wanted me to share with people."Scheduled for official release March 24th, "Like a Tree," will be made available at Amazon, iTunes, CD Baby, and other major online music stores. Kimberlee had the fortune of working with Multi-Platinum Producer, Paul Laurence, and 13-Time Grammy Award Winning Producer/Engineer, Gilbert Velasquez, on previous released albums. Every choice we make throughout the day influences whether we are helping God or helping Satan. As the 'Body of Christ', we are 'the feet' – we are the ones the Lord has intended to do this, as we rely on the Word of His Power. Call/email to arrange. Leber is available for press, radio, and television interviews. She believes God has called her to do this in these last days, utilizing the gifts He has given her musically to spread His Gospel message in her new album, "Like a Tree," which reveals powerful insights from the Bible. Born and raised in California, Kimberlee trained nearly nine years with world renowned Vocal Coach, Judy Davis. As genuine Christians, we need to feed our spirits with God's Word constantly, renewing our minds to think like God thinks and to live accordingly and not like this World. "This was pulled down from Heaven with my spirit," confesses Kimberlee. Leber, is on a mission to help prepare the Earth to be more like Heaven. For more information on Kimberlee, visit www.Kimberlee.com/mediakit3. "For Christ to return, much is to be done to make the Earth like Heaven," she explains. We would be fulfilling our destiny as the Body of Christ, establishing the Kingdom of God here, making it ready for Christ to return. We need to be reading God's Word and praying through it daily, spreading the aroma of Christ everywhere. Leber, 512-995-0585 LEANDER, Texas, March 23, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ — Gospel Singer/Songwriter, Kimberlee M. We must be purposeful for this to be accomplished, proactively aligning ourselves in thought, word, and deed with the Will of God, as we follow Scripture." When Christ taught us to pray in the Bible, He said, "on Earth as it is in Heaven," and He meant just that – to create the atmosphere of Heaven on Earth. If every professed Christian did this, imagine the impact it would have on the World. Kimberlee M. Every disciple of Christ has a specific gifting that God has given that He wants to use for His good pleasure and purpose. As a Gospel Singer/Songwriter, Kimberlee M. Leber, is doing her part as a mouthpiece for the Lord by putting His Word into song and releasing the music from her Indie Christian label, Real Star Records. Literally, which Kingdom are we living in and building? Dedicated to her beloved stepdad who passed away this last year, "Like a Tree" is very special. "We intentionally are called to do this in the Bible – to put Satan under foot and make him a footstool of Christ. Contact: Matthew Leber, Kimberlee M.

To the original issue/cause here. If you suspect the USB stick put it aside or throw it out. Check that the problem is not something you are doing wrong, e.g. copying files while Pro Tools or another application might still be writing the files. Not properly unmounting a USB stick before removing it from a computer likely causes most corruption with those devices.
NTFS on Windows and HFS+ on Mac (and in future APFS will be even better) are more robust filesystems than FAT32 or EXFAT. Archive backup volumes should be on NFTS or HFS+ (APFS in future) not EXFAT or FAT32. EXFAT can be a handy filesystem to use on a USB transfer stick, but don't rely on that a backup.
I'm not asking how HDD or SSD manages sectors.
1. If an HDD/SSD have bad sectors, I use it to transfer files to my other computer, will my other computer get any corrupted files?
As long as my other computer can read/copy the files without any errors, then I can fully trust all copied files are non-corrupted ?
No. and Yes. As far as anybody here needs to worry about, the file will either succeed or fail to transfer.
There is a much much rarer concern in computer systems storage design about exotic forms of silent data corruption. Not something to worry here.
2. If I write files to a good HDD/SSD, and later it got hit the ground/got damaged and may have new or even a lot of bad sectors- meaning my previously written files are now on bad sectors. So I copy them out to my other computer, am I going to get corrupted files? or as long as I can copy them out without any error, all files are exactly the same as the original fils?
Worse case the whole drive might be unreadable and unrecoverable, or whole partitions/filesystems may be unreadable (and others on the drive are), or individual blocks within files data can't be read or it takes multiple retires (transparently to you) for the disk to read them. If a file read fails often applications will crash or a copy program will report an error.
Your primary protection against data loss is having backups.
SSDs might complicate the discussion because they are much more complex to understand internally that a HDD. But to the end-user they operate similarly. Good quality SSDs should have higher-reliability than HDD when used for active storage, for offline/archive storage you want to use a HDD. Don't put backups or archives in SSDs they are not intended for long-term powered off storage, but that is an active area of R&D.
For a HDD or SSD if SMART is reporting errors throw it out. Nobody here should really be worrying about deeper details of how drives work. What you should be worrying about is you backup and recovery plan, what failures you are protecting against (disk drive failure, building failure (e.g. fire, earthquake), theft, etc.) and testing both the backups and recovery actually work. You likely should be using different methods to backup boot/system drives and to make archives of sessions. And think about how far you want to be able to roll back either of those. And don't have just one active backup, the classic time for things to go South is when you are trying to write the backup and the read of the parent disk fails, now you have a failing disk and a possibly half-overwritten useless backup. Ad similar for archives, if something is missing it might also be missing.
And the most common cause of data loss is *not* disk failure, its the idiot user. So you want to think though what happens if you accidentally delete lots of audio content out of some sessions. And don't notice for weeks, has your backup plan overwritten all those useful old backups with the later now useless new session folder by the time you notice? etc.
You need multiple separate backups, ideally some stored off-site and/or in the cloud, and on different types of media. NAS systems can be fantastic as one of the things to archiving to (but don't rely on having all eggs in one basket).

Any file that spans bad sectors will most likely not transfer at all. The disk/OS may try several times before giving up and reporting that the file is unreadable. The target disk will not "inherit" any bad sectors.
If your computer can read/copy without errors then you won't have errors.
Can you "fully trust" all copied files are non-corrupted? No. Even with brand new drives files can be corrupted.
If the files can be read without error then the copies will not have errors.
Just try it, and see what you get. If you end up with a few corrupted files then you might try a data recovery service if the files are valuable to you.
Thank you both for the detailed explain.
As long as I have copied data from a HDD/SSD to my mac without seeing any error messages, or as long as the copy/read is complete, I can trust I have got all the files and nothing is corrupted. Correct?
Of course, if my target computer drive is corrupted, but I have also complete the copying from it to another new target drive and if the copy is complete without any system error messages , then I can trust all the data is non-corrupted, Correct?
It is supposed to make you do a backup.
A six foot drop would hurt you, too!!!
--->If my target computer/drive completes copying without errors, then can I trust all copied files are same as original and non-corrupted? Of course if the target computer/drive have a lot of bad sectors the files can be corrupted, but I copy them to another new target drive and it completes the copying without any system error message, then I can trust that all the data is the same as original, unless the new target disk have bad sectors to damage the datas... correct?
meaning, is there any possibility that I copy audio files from my computer to a target computer drive(which has no bad sectors) using a questionable drive , though I didn't get any system copy-error messages, but the data/audio files on the target computer drive can be corrupted because of the questionable drive which is used to transfer the audio files?
This is a simple-seeming question, but it really depends on the specifics.
When you copy files, validation is usually handled by the operating system. I don't believe that operating systems generally perform a full "verify" operation when you copy a file, though they probably compare metadata, like file size, to confirm that the source and target are the same size. Generally, if no error is reported, you can be confident that the file is not corrupt. But "not corrupt" is not the same thing as "exactly the same as the source."
There are specialized copying and backup applications that will perform a full "verify" operation, where the source and target are compared, block by block, to ensure that they are exactly the same. Full verify operations are time-consuming and often take just as long as the actual copy operation. An alternative is to manually generate a checksum for a file, before it is copied, and then get a checksum for the file after it is copied and confirm that they match.
even though I used a questionable HDD/SSD to copy the audio files, if I didn't get any error message when copying, then I should not worry about I may got corrupted audio files and I can trust all the audio files sounds exactly the same as the original audio files, correct?

The Big Orange Tarp, known as the BOT, has a quarter century history of presenting campground music and other showcases. The BOT was created by Alan Rowoth to provide a strong listener experience and to help performers connect with fans and presenters.
Feature Song Circle Protocol: The Big Orange Tarp is a song circle, typically featuring 6 chairs (acts). We usually go twice around the circle, replacing each performer one song after his/her last song so the circle can continue without interruption.
Checking In: We like participants to be there at least 20 minutes or so before your round starts. If you are late, your chair may be given to someone else. (So Don't be late.) If you are slated for the second or third round, report to the Stage Manager when you arrive and he/she will tell you which chair to sit in and when. (If you don't know who the Stage Manager is, get the attention of Emcee and he will direct the Stage Manager to you.) If you are booked for a feature and plans change, you must let us know at least an hour before the feature starts so that we can replace you. If you don't contact us and are a no show, you may be suspended from future participation in BOT features and conference showcases.
POP Goes the Main Stage: The Emcee may, at his discretion, POP in a surprise guest between songs of the round. (So please don't start playing until the Emcee gives you a nod.) The POP allows the Big Orange Tarp to feature well-known performers at a moment's notice and it reminds listeners that anything can happen at any time at the BOT–raising audience excitement levels.
Staging and Tech Notes: When you actually perform your songs, you don't need to stay glued to your seat. You are welcome, even encouraged, to stand to perform, especially if it helps you sing better or engage the audience more directly. You also are welcome to bring along side players (who may need to sit behind when not performing). We try to have a house piano available, but check ahead. Other instruments are not provided. There is no vocal PA, so choose a song that you can vocally project to our listeners.
House Band: At Falcon Ridge, this year's supporting cast include George Wurzbach, Eric Lee, Dirje Childs, David Glaser, and Mark Dann. We had sit in assistance from Ephrat Shapira, Brad Yoder, Hugh McGowan and others. We hope to have them on hand again for future events. These are accomplished, tasteful players, but feel free to ask them to sit out if you feel your song wouldn't benefit from their input. In the interests of time, we ask that you don't parcel out solos to all of these talented folks in every song. Use them as you would on a recording. Let us know if you want to meet with house band players prior to performance to solidify arrangements.
Open Circles: Time and weather permitting, we try to always host open song circles after our feature presentations. We never feature anyone we haven't seen perform live, so these are a great way for you to get onto our radar screen. During Song School and on nights with no prearranged feature, we often go Open Circle all night long. In the interests of time, please try to keep your song and intro combined under 5 minutes total. These are focused more on networking and song sharing, with less concern for attracting presenters.
Our Mission: Our primary goal at the Big Orange Tarp is to present musicians in the most effective way possible to book gigs and make friends. Please help us do that. The Big Orange Tarp neither encourages nor disparages drinking, but if you are too impaired to play, you will forfeit your chair.

New York Times Feb. 25, 1951 pg.7 MARINE AIR WAR VETERAN DEAD IN KOREAN CRACK-UP
News of the death in a plane accident in Korea of Lieut. Col. Radford Carter West, United States Marine Corps, was received here yesterday.
Colonel West. whose widow. Mrs. Virginia West, and three children live at 610 West 116th Street, New York, was a much-decorated pilot who saw extensive service in the Pacific and in Europe during World War II. He had been in Korea with Marine Air Group 33 since last July and had recently received the Silver Star Medal for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action."
Colonel West had just been reassigned to what he had described as a "safe' job on the staff of the Fifth Air Force. He was killed Feb. 5, with other military personnel, when a C-54 transport overshot a runway in the Korean area.
Born in Oklahoma City, he served in the Navy three years as a pharmacist mate before entering the Naval Academy, from which he was graduated in 1937.
On Dec. 7, 1941, Colonel West was at Pearl Harbor. He was one of the few pilots stationed there who managed to get a plane in the air during the Japanese attack. In 1944 he had the part as observer with the Royal Air Force in the invasion of Normandy.
The Daily Oklahoman Wed Feb. 14, 1951 pg. 2 Col 3
LT. COL. RADFORD C..WEST, 37, Oklahoma City Marine air hero of World War II, has been killed in action in Korea.
His stepmother, Mrs. Leonard H. West, 223 NW 33, was informed Tuesday by the airman's wife, Mrs. Virginia West, New York City, after she was notified by the defense department.
The defense department said the veteran of Pearl Harbor, D-Day, and the Okinawa Invasion had been killed in a plane crash somewhere in the Korean area. No other details were given.
A career Marine, Col. West was born In Oklahoma City. He graduated from the Naval Academy in 1937 and was commissioned in the Marines. In 1939 a drill team which he commanded was placed on exhibition at the New York World's fair.
In 1940 he was assigned to duty in the Pacific, and on December 7, 1941, was at Pearl Harbor. He was one of the few pilots stationed there who managed to get a plane in the air during the Japanese attack.
Later, when Japanese submarines threatened what was left of the Pacific fleet, West was on daily air patrol. Then, late In 1942, he was transferred back to the United States to instruct Marine airman at Jacksonville, Fla.
In 1944 he was assigned as an acting observer with the Royal Air Force in England for specialization in night fighter tactics. It was in this capacity that he participated in the Normandy invasion.
After VE-day Col. West was transferred to the Pacific, and was on the staff of the commanding general in the Okinawa Invasion.
It was on Okinawa that Col. West singlehandedly manned an exposed Control Tower under enemy attack after the enlisted personnel had abandoned it. For this action he was awarded the Bronze Star.
His squadron shot down a record number of Japanese bombers during the Okinawa campaign, and for this Col. West was awarded the Legion of Merit. He also was the holder of the Air Medal with five clusters, the Presidential Unit Citation, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the Purple Heart.
On the day he was killed, Col West was awarded the Silver Star.
Alter his service In the South Pacific, Col. West was transferred to the United States, until July, 1950, when he was assigned to the Korean area.
Besides his wife and stepmother he is survived by three children: Glenn, 14; Radford, 7; and Kathleen, 4 and a stepbrother, William Goshorn, 1223 NW 22.
He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Radford was commanding officer of Marine Night Fighting Squadron (VMF(N)) 531 for one month, from 13 October 1944 to 10 November 1944. (The squadron was stateside, and he was "detached for overseas service.")
In 1946 he was "commanding officer of the Marine air detachment at Lambert-St. Louis Field."
During the Korean War, he was deputy commander of Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) 33 — though other sources (or perhaps other times) list him as the commanding officer.

From Hall of Valor:
The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Lieutenant Colonel Radford Carter West (MCSN: 0-5570), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Tactical Air Coordinator of Marine Aircraft Group THIRTY-THREE, in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 6 October 1950. Assigned the mission of executing deep air support attacks against assembled enemy installations in the vicinity of P'yongyang, Lieutenant Colonel West skillfully directed the attack from an extremely low altitude and personally made numerous passes while subjected to fierce hostile anti-aircraft fire. By his courageous leadership, professional skill and steadfast devotion to duty, he aided directly in destroying three enemy tanks repair buildings, seven vehicles and three tanks and in damaging other hostile installations and equipment, thereby upholding the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Legion of Merit to Lieutenant Colonel Radford Carter West (MCSN: 0-5570), United States Marine Corps, for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States while serving as night operations officer for the Air Defense Command and Fighter Command on Okinawa Shima, Ryukyu Islands, from 4 April to 10 June 1945. Lieutenant Colonel West, by virtue of unceasing energy and great professional knowledge and skill in handling all night fighter aircraft, succeeded in so indoctrinating the night fighter pilots operating in the Ryukyus area that forty enemy aircraft were destroyed by them. Despite adverse conditions of bat weather and frequent enemy air attacks, he continually managed the operations of night fighter aircraft in a highly efficient manner, thereby materially contributing to the success of a most difficult operation. His conduct throughout was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Navy Directories & Officer Registers
The "Register of Commissioned and Warrant Officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps" was published annually from 1815 through at least the 1970s; it provided rank, command or station, and occasionally billet until the beginning of World War II when command/station was no longer included. Scanned copies were reviewed and data entered from the mid-1840s through 1922, when more-frequent Navy Directories were available.
The Navy Directory was a publication that provided information on the command, billet, and rank of every active and retired naval officer. Single editions have been found online from January 1915 and March 1918, and then from three to six editions per year from 1923 through 1940; the final edition is from April 1941.
The entries in both series of documents are sometimes cryptic and confusing. They are often inconsistent, even within an edition, with the name of commands; this is especially true for aviation squadrons in the 1920s and early 1930s.
Alumni listed at the same command may or may not have had significant interactions; they could have shared a stateroom or workspace, stood many hours of watch together… or, especially at the larger commands, they might not have known each other at all. The information provides the opportunity to draw connections that are otherwise invisible, though, and gives a fuller view of the professional experiences of these alumni in Memorial Hall.

The highest number of people in the various societies are not highly educated but are depending on very well paying jobs which do not require high levels of education. This jobs which do not need high level of education have fully dominated the market since a wide range of people are not highly educated thus making them to go for those jobs which requires less education to help them survive since there are those companies such as SEOClerks who allows the people without high education levels to get the various jobs via online means. This article plays the role of showing the people the various jobs which are well paying but requires very little or no formal training which includes the various high levels of education.
Firstly, the first and most common type of job which allows the people to earn well without having a degree qualification is the job of a hotel manager. This job is very much easy since it only involves the manager ensuring that all the workers are completely active and responding to their various customers as expected. The only important skill that the people need to have is the accounting skill which enables them to be fully controllable.
The various technical skills which enable them to be completely capable of earning good money at few usage of the skill or the formal education is the technical jobs which ensure that the people get to understand and be fully captured easily and thus start earning money. These jobs are normally very crucial since they ensure that the people get to be completely advantageous since there is no any pressure during the work.
Massage therapist is the next job which enables the people to be completely focused and get to earn a lot of money without engaging themselves in the various deep thoughts of formal education which help the people to be comfortable and also get to enjoy the job. The job of massaging the people is normally well paying since it ensures that the people come to get their bodies massaged, and then they pay a lot of money for the various massage therapy services done to them. This ensures that the people get to be completely comfortable when doing the job with very little skills and thus ensure that little effort is used, but a lot of money is obtained.
The fitness training ensures that the people get to be completely comfortable and easy in the process of making money without the use of formal skills. Through this, the people will come to the various training sessions to help them lose some weight and become physically fit and as a result get to pay some cash thus enabling the individual to earn money.


Abstract: PURPOSE: Few longitudinal studies explore post-stroke patterns of psychological morbidity and factors contributing to their change over time. We aimed to explore predictors of post-stroke depression (PSD) and post-stroke anxiety over a 12-month period. METHODS: A prospective cohort study. Consecutively recruited stroke patients (n=134) participated in face-to-face interviews at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Primary outcome measures were depression and anxiety (measured via Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Independent variables included disability (Modified Rankin Scale), Quality-of-life (Assessment Quality-of-life), social support (Multi-dimensional Scale Perceived Social Support) and community participation (Adelaide Activities Profile (AAP)). Secondary outcomes were predictors of resolution and development of PSD and anxiety. RESULTS: Anxiety (47%) was more common than depression (22%) at baseline. Anxiety (but not depression) scores improved over time. Anxiety post-stroke was positively associated with baseline PSD (p<0.0001), baseline anxiety (p<0.0001) and less disability (p=0.042). PSD was associated with baseline anxiety (p<0.0001), baseline depression (p=0.0057), low social support (p=0.0161) and low community participation (p<0.0001). The only baseline factor predicting the resolution of PSD (if depressed at baseline) was increased social support (p=0.0421). Factors that predicted the onset of depression (if not depressed at baseline) were low community participation (p=0.0015) and higher disability (p=0.0057). CONCLUSION: While more common than depression immediately post-stroke, anxiety attenuates while the burden of depression persists over 12 months. Clinical programs should assess anxiety and depression, provide treatment pathways for those identified, and address modifiable risk factors, especially social support and social engagement. Implications for Rehabilitation Psychological distress post stroke is persisting. Multi-disciplinary teams that establish goals with patients promoting social and community engagement could assist in managing psychological morbidity. A shift towards promoting longer-term monitoring and management of stroke survivors must be undertaken, and should consider the factors that support and hinder psychological morbidity.

Silly People, Sophistry-Trix Are for Kids!
Jan 6, 2020, 2:24 PM
(P law forces people into exchanges for what they desire. That is the purpose of the law: to force people out of rent seeking, parasitism and predation and into markets for survival.)
Dear Silly Person;
You should really ask questions rather than presume you are somewhere, anywhere, near capable of conversation let alone argument, on a multiple subjects that have frustrated thought leaders in mathematics, logic, economics, science, philosophy, jurisprudence and law. But you lack sufficient domain knowledge in any of those disciplines to put forth an argument, or even ask questions. So you are stuck with disapproval and sophistry. That's ok. Because these dialogs … although apparently a waste of time … serve to educate followers by example.
—"This isn't woo; it's wisdom"–
No. It's either (a) an admission of failure to solve the problem of the age, and a justification for continuation of predation, parasitism, fraud and deceit upon the people who certainly sense 'something is wrong' but have no idea what to do about it. I (we) solved the problem. It was a very hard problem. It took standing on a host of giants largely in the 20th century to do it. But it was a solvable problem because of their successes and failures. Or it's (b) an act of fraud by which you seek to obscure some crime you yourself profit from. (I expect the latter.)
—"Propertarians think the fact that their system has an answer for everything is its strength"—
No it's just a test of falsehood and irreciprocity in public to the public on matters public – particularly the abrahamic method of deceit that created the past dark age and has brought us to the bring of a second.
—"P has a vision of society extrapolated from computer programming, "—
Between the failure of the 19th-20th analytic program to discover any justificationary method, and the success of Falsificationism, Operationalism, and Programming in finally merging epistemology with testimony and law – ending the platonic (ideal) and set-logic programs, just as the success of empiricism ended the theological and analogistic-logic program, yes, I was, we were, able to apply falsification, operationalization, and formal grammar to the law, thereby completing the conversion of all of previously philosophical (justificationary) disciplines to science (evidentiary) – leaving philosophy to the domain of choosing preferenes and goods, and science with truth-falsehood(falsehood) and reciprocity-irreciprocity(harm).
As such we are able to repair weaknesses in the Common Law tradition, and the anglo saxon constitutions, because of failures of a formal logic, and prior lack of necessity of formal logic, given the state of lying and undermining available to the law prior to the second abrahamic revolution in deceit.
—"letter of the law is easily manipulated by unconscious people"—
Why isn't mathematics or programming subject to that failure? It's perfectly possible to make legal prose both simple and equally impossible to undermine. I mean, division by zero exists. The halting problem exists. Some questions in law are "under-decidable" and as such must be left to the preference of the people. But these are not defects they are features.
—"Abrahamists and feminine thinkers have been incentivized to shut up by being subordinated or liquidated, "—
You don't know this but P largely restores defamation, sacredness of commons, and the crimes of baiting into hazard. in other words, these were loosened
P is a formal operational logic for testing against falsehood and ir-reciprocity sufficient for use in writing constitutions, legislation, regulation, findings of law, and contract in strictly constructed form under original intent – that as the framers intended force transactional (process) modification of the law under rule of law, wherein judges can discover applications of that law, but not invent new law – inventing law is limited to legislators. Rule of law is the traditional anglo saxon method of rule, within which we have constructed both monarchical, parliamentary, and multi house republican governments under the english, american, Canadian, and Australian constitutions. The innovation in P-law is that it prohibits the means of undermining that law by solving the problem of demarcation between truthful and reciprocal and untruthful and ir-reciprocal speech, just as it solves the demarcation problem of scientific vs unscientific speech, and does so in the traditional manner of demarcation used in the law: standards (lists) of minimum due diligence.
1) People require mindfulness – this is something we understand. It's emotional-intuitionistic fitness (training) just as they need physical fitness, and rational fitness (training). That's even before we get to training them with skills. The demand for fitness-substitutes (drugs, religions, ideologies, fictions) is driven by failures to provide fitness. It is certainly true that the vehicle for providing fitness must reflect the agency (ability) of the individual: submission (woo woo/buddhism), living within means (stoicism/epicureanism), or maximizing one's abilities (Heroism/Achievement). But there are no conditions under which falsehood and irreciprocity are necessary. And moreover, there is no reason that those lacking agency (those lacking agency, those that are incompetents, those that are infantilized) should be left as resources for malcontents undermining civilization by false promise, baiting into hazard, and profiting from it. In other words, those that are weak of ability and agency must be educated so that they are not a harm to society. The question is only the least harmful and most beneficial means of educating them. After all, that is the only justification for mass education: so that the masses are not indolent dependents upon the productivity of their betters.
2) People always justify their crimes. People always demonstrate the minimum ethics and morality that they can reliably get away with. Why would we not expect frauds, thieves, and harmers to resist the formal criminalization of their fraud, thievery, and harm by creating a market for the prosecution of, restitution of, and prevention of their fraud, thievery, and harm?
3) Peoples universally adapt to laws whenever a market is created by the law for the prosecution of fraud, thievery and harm. Why would people not adapt to the suppression of all the means by which they are parasited upon by advertising, finance, politics, academy, and a vast invading underclass? Why wouldn't the vast majority of people prefer the eradication of baiting into hazard with false promise and asymmetry of information, and asymmetry of incentive from the commons? Why would it be other than wonderful to force political organizations to compromise rather than to conduct propaganda and deceit in the population?
4) Straw manning is adorable. So lets move from sophistry to science, and let's run tests: Pick three subjects that you think is anything from controversial to ordinary that might generate public conflict or appear before the court. I'll respond. 1, 2, 3 or a, b, c. Doesn't matter.

Q: PHP reading broken images To save bandwidth, I am scaling images before downloaded to users (I would scale them     myself, but someone else is uploading them):
function scaleIm($I){
    $file="{$I['dir']}/{$I['name']}.{$I['ext']}";
    $img=imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
    $i_x=imagesx($img);
    $i_y=imagesy($img);
    $di_x=155;
    $di_y=155;
    $d_i=imagecreatetruecolor($di_x, $di_y);
    imagecopyresampled($d_i,$img,0,0,0,0,$di_x,$di_y,$i_x,$i_y);
    ob_start();
    header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
    imagejpeg($d_i,NULL,100);
    imagedestroy($d_i);
    $i=ob_get_clean();
    return 'background-image:url(data:image/jpeg;base64,'.base64_encode($i).');';
}

Since I am packaging all images together in one response, all images must succeed for any of them to display. When my colleague uploads a particularly large image on a spotty connection, we run the risk of the image becoming half loaded. At this point, the whole page fails.
I need to write an exception for a broken image. Return conditions I've tried:
if(!filesize($file))    //Doesn't work because a half-loaded file still has size

if(!file_exists($file))    //See above

if(!$img)

The last one seemed promising, but I think the failure point is at $img=imagecreatefrom($jpeg).


You've done the hard work of creating a budget. You've cut frivolous expenses. You've crafted a financial plan that lets you tell your money where to go instead of wondering where it went. But even with a steady job and a sensible budget, you still find yourself living paycheck to paycheck. It looks like you're going to have to find a way to earn some extra money, a side hustle.
With more than 44 million Americans working more than one job,opens in a new window the challenge is a familiar one. As job seekers search for flexible work opportunities, many businesses are busy exploring alternate ways to assemble a workforce of independent contractors. With hundreds of thousands of individuals working under their respective banners, ride-sharing services Uber and Lyft seem to have figured out how to recruit effectively. But as more and more people sign up to be drivers, are they seeing a worthwhile financial reward for their work? A recent study set out to answer that question.
Don't overlook those operating costs.
Success isn't automatic. But it's possible.
As you can see from those statistics, there's more to making money than just signing up to do the job. Success as an Uber or Lyft driver hinges on a combination of factors such as location, public transportation options, work availability, and smart personal business practices.
If you've been thinking about driving for Uber or Lyft, the future isn't all doom and gloom. It's possible to make money, potentially even a decent full-time income. The secret lies in approaching the opportunity with the mindset of a business owner instead of an employee. Creativity and efficiency are rewardedopens in a new window. Just showing up won't cut it.

Does a Side Hustles with Uber Really Pay Off?
