Attention Moms with cameras and other aspiring photographers. Would consider selling all (or most) as one turnkey lot or individually. Years ago I had planned to setup a studio and started buying equipment but those plans have changed and new life issues have arisen as well. I also just have too much darn stuff and don't need it all. After I retired from my previous career a couple of years ago I had planned to do a lot more shooting as well as conduct lighting workshops and provide warranty service for a Chinese based flash retailer that I was a US contact for but, other issues, as I stated, have postponed all those plans for the time being. I will provide free instruction for anyone buying any flash gear and if you buy a turnkey lot of this equipment I would even consider conducting a multi day lighting workshop customized just for you.
What I have is a large lot of muslin backdrops, most new, in 10-12 ft widths and 10-20 ft lengths (a few smaller ones as well). I have 2 background stand setups as well as many different sizes of light stands and booms. I have many different sizes and styles of reflectors. A very large selection of flash modifiers and softboxes as well and many of them new.
Flash Equipment includes Bowens and Calumet power pack strobes. Paul Buff (PCB) Alien Bees, White Lightning and Zeus strobes and Ring Flashes. I still have some PCB CyberSync radio triggers including 1 Cyber Commander left. 2 Flashpoint RL600B battery strobes with v1 & v2 transmitters. 3 new Phottix Indra 500's (listed on nextech elsewhere) and 2 Phottix Mitros+ Speedlites with Odin 1.5 transmitters and receivers as well as an Odin II transmitter. I have 2 like new Canon 600EX-RT's and 4 hardly used in excellent condition 600EX-RTs (I am keeping the 600EX's I use on a regular basis). I have 2 Canon ST-E3-RT transmitters. I have 3 Yongnuo 600EX-RT's as well as several YN-E3-RT transmitters and YNE3-RX receivers.
I have some Canon L lenses (35L, 85L II and 16-35L II) also listed here on Nextech as well as a couple of Bowens fresnel modifiers to give you that Hollywood style lighting and they can be adapted for use with any flash unit using the proper adapter (use same softbox adapters as other flash modifiers).
I have a good selection of constant lighting equipment as well including hot lights, fluorescent and LED. I have a lot more stuff too numerous to list here plus I cannot remember it all but if you think about it, let me know and I probably have it some where.

I met him online a year ago—on an app; he was 34 and I was 19. He told me that he was divorced and had children from his first marriage.
I know this may be hard to believe, but at first, I wanted nothing more than friendship from him. I was lonely. My parents have never been in the picture and I was raised by my grandmother. I don't have very many close friends. We started talking every day through calls, texts, and Skype. He came to visit me and we had such an amazing time; he met my grandma. It wasn't awkward at all, like I thought it might be. I felt like I had known him my whole life, and although we hadn't planned to sleep together, we did. Now, I regret it so much.
A few days later, he left. I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was off. He talked about his ex-wife a lot—too much. One of my friends suggested that maybe he was still married. So I looked his "ex" up on Facebook and, sure enough, her status still said "married." It made sense: he only called when he wasn't in the house or when his kids weren't home. I confronted him and he immediately admitted it. I felt disgusted with myself—that I had slept with someone who was married with children. But he was so convincing: he told me that he had no feelings for her, that they weren't in love, and that he'd been trying to get a divorce. This was one of many red flags that I chose to overlook: that a man who has been with his wife for over 17 years suddenly doesn't feel a thing for her anymore.
But I thought he was "the one." I accepted his explanation. I haven't forgiven him for lying to me and taking advantage of me when we met. I felt disgusting—sleeping with another woman's husband. I didn't care that he said their marriage was basically over. I cared about how she'd feel if she knew. I cared about how it made me the "homewrecker." But, over time, I let go of it a little. I won't lie to you.
I had a good job, a loving family, and a white picket fence. This is how I lost it all.
Once, a very long time ago, I had a good job, a loving family, and a white picket fence. I started my own business, worked hard, and collected the toys that the wealthy have—a boat, a mansion, a few Harleys. I worried about the things you probably worry about—the stress of work every Monday morning, the bills that kept piling up, and the fact that the more we had, the more it didn't quite seem like enough.
Then, following the financial crisis in 2007/8, I lost my business, my family, and my home. I lost everything.
After months of trying to dig myself out of a hole, I gave up. There was only one way out, I thought. One permanent, final solution. My uncle had done it years before. And as I swiped the rope like a rosary through my fingers, I thought about my wife or kids being called to the scene to identify me. I thought about the person who would discover me hanging from some tree, and about how maybe that would mess them up, too. But I had made up my mind.
I'd spent a few hours that day poring over my financial records. What the market crash hadn't taken, I had spent on booze and weed and women. The only thing left was my life insurance policy, which fortunately for my family was pretty hefty. I read the fine print a million times: if I committed suicide, my family would still get the money as long as the policy was taken out more than three years ago. I looked at the date of the policy again, and again, and again, and again.
As soon as I'd confirm that I'd taken it out in August of 2003, I'd panic and go back to check. I even thought about asking a lawyer to look the suicide clause over, but was afraid of setting off a red flag. I just kept thinking that it would be a shame to kill myself and then have my family not get any money just on a technicality. Then my life would really have been pointless.
I played with the rope some more and looked around the empty parking lot. There was a patch of woods in the back of the lot, and I planned on finding a sturdy tree. I'd packed on some weight in the last few years. I thought about the insurance policy again and had to exercise some restraint to not go back to the office and check the dates one last time. Then, I reached into the back seat and grabbed my stool, opened the car door, and walked towards the woods.
That moment of decision will always stand out to me as one of my clearest, most crystalized memories. I felt no fear at all; on the contrary, I walked with a sense of hope. It was the first time I had thought of the future without feeling doomed. But I also knew myself well enough to know that I was a fickle man in life — a man filled with doubts and weaknesses, and that I needed to do this quickly, before I had a chance to change my mind.
I wanted to be somewhere in the middle of the woods — not so close to the lot that people would see me immediately, but also not so far back that it would take a while to discover my body. I didn't want to stink the place up, and I didn't want animals to find me first. I walked for about a minute, and then took out my phone and activated the flashlight feature.
I felt oddly calm and resolute, and I studied the trees with a certain matter-of-factness. It didn't take me long to find the perfect branch and tie the knot I'd looked up on a YouTube tutorial. In the office I'd spent about an hour practicing the knot because I read that hanging yourself was a tricky business. If done incorrectly, it could result in some serious pain. And I didn't want to feel pain, anymore.
I stood on the stool and put the rope around my own neck. Then I fiddled on my phone to deactivate the flashlight. I didn't want people to see it through the woods and interrupt me before I was done.
As I held the phone, the screen lit up and my daughter's name flashed across, pulsating in the darkness. I started crying in the sort of inconsolable way I'd never let my family see, and then, when I'd composed myself and sobered up enough, I checked myself into a psychiatric hospital.
My daughter saved my life that night.
My wife and I are back together. We bought a nice Cape Cod—it's just enough space for the two of us—no luxuries, and that's okay. I talk to my daughters every day. I work a 9-5 and, in my spare time, I make things—little personalized tchotchkes for people. I sell them on Etsy. And I gotta tell you, I'm happy. Life sure is strange.

It was my tenth birthday and my mother threw me a big party. She invited all of my friends and I dressed up like a ballerina, with a pastel pink, shimmery leotard and a matching tutu. That night, the kids had a sleepover upstairs, and the parents stayed downstairs for adult dinner. I'd eaten cake and dessert all day, and even though I was supposed to have been in bed, I was still hungry and so looking forward to dinner. My mom had made a feast—all of my favorite foods and treats, and I hovered over the trays in the kitchen, trying my best to not sneak off a bite.
I felt humiliated. And I should have stopped eating and gone to bed because, the truth is, I probably wasn't really hungry. But I didn't. I finished that plate and I kept going. And I haven't been able to stop.
I think about food constantly. I am ashamed of how much I eat, and I hide it from my family and friends. I eat secretly and I throw the wrappers out in a public trash can after I'm done. I am always on a diet, but never really on a diet. What I mean by that is: I know that people expect me to be on a diet, so I pretend that I'm being good. But as soon as I'm alone, I can clear out a whole fridge.
And that almost makes the binging worse. If I have, say, seven good days of eating and then I fall off the wagon and put in a huge order at a fast food place, I feel even worse because I feel guilty for not being able to stay on it. So, if I have three bad days in a week, they usually end up doing less "damage"—calorie-wise—than if I eat clean all week and then I have one binge day. And I know this because I used to not track how much I ate during a binge, but now I do it as a form of punishment. I use an application that lets me input the calories I consume each day. On bad binge days, I easily consume more than 15,000 calories.
It's almost like a system of self-sabotage, in which I keep thinking that I don't "deserve" anything because of the way I am. And it really is like sabotage because I often will have thoughts and memories that crop up throughout the day that taunt me—they're like snapshots of every embarrassing food-related experience I've ever had. I often think about the night of my tenth birthday and it's almost as if I can feel her pinch my fat all over again. And I don't hate her. I don't remember who she was, even. I hate myself, as I was back then, and as I am now. Just the thought of it makes me want to eat.

I waited too long to have a baby with my husband. Or did I?
I met my husband when I was 26 years old; we dated for a year before moving in together, and then we got married at 30. I was so thrilled on our wedding day—it felt like the beginning of a new life for us. We had plans to travel and buy a home, and we agreed that we both wanted children down the road. But…we still felt so young; we were in no rush.
After we'd been married for about a year, I started to notice that all of my friends were having babies. I'd been completely oblivious to the "timelines" and the "ticking biological clocks" that women supposedly feel once they're in their thirties. I decided that I wasn't really "ready" to be a mom, mostly because I didn't have that "feeling" that women so often describe. I didn't think that childbearing was magical: I was afraid what it would do to my body. I was afraid of breastfeeding; I was afraid of dropping the baby; I was afraid I wouldn't rise to the challenge of motherhood.
But I think, most of all, I was afraid of what a baby would do to our marriage. My husband and I were always so in love; we were best friends. We shared common interests and hobbies. We loved hiking and being outdoors—how would a baby fit into that? Would I become consumed, forced to leave us on the back-burner? Would we become one of those couples who stayed together for the sake of the children—who went out for a rare date night and spent the hour eating in silence?
In my genuflected state, I can feel that the palms of my hands and my kneecaps have become entirely etched with the shapes of the carpet. I shift my left shoulder imperceptibly to relieve the pressure on my left hand, which has started to tingle. A few moments go by in relative comfort, but then my right hand starts to cramp up, my knees start to wobble, and my back starts to ache.
When I feel like I'm going to pass out from the pain, I lift my right hand off of the carpet, and her legs reluctantly slide off my back. I bow in front of her, and rub my hands and knees vigorously, carefully hiding myself so as not to offend her. She has been expressly clear about the rules—no erections, no displays of emotion, no displays of weakness, and especially no displays of dissent.
I am to do her bidding unequivocally, without complaint or question, and I am so eager to please her that my physical weakness shames me profoundly. It has taken me years to find her—the perfect Mistress—someone who understands my need to worship her wholly and completely. I don't want to lose her.
Men like myself are interested in the female supremacy lifestyle, which is often mistaken for or confused with sadomasochism. For example, the three professional dominatrices whom I'd previously visited in hopes of fulfilling my desires were entirely uninterested in the concept of female empowerment. Their jobs were simply to cater to men's sexual fetishes of being bound and gagged and spanked—the Shades of Grey vanilla variety of sexual fetishism that carried no deeper intellectual components. Their lackadaisical movement and only casual interest in the tasks at hand made it obvious that they achieved no pleasure or empowerment from the situation. And if they get no pleasure, I get no pleasure.
Last holiday season, my parents invited my brother, his wife, and me over to the house for dinner. I don't like spending a lot of time around family, but I said I'd go. My sister-in-law brought a friend, an attractive woman about my age. She was nice enough—she went to get some beer from the fridge and asked me if I wanted any. I don't drink—never have—so why start now? But I said yes because my brain got jumbled, as it always does in these situations. So I sat there like an idiot, taking fake swigs of beer. And the rest of the night didn't go any better.
Why was she there, anyhow? I looked around: was everyone in on this? Were they watching me make a fool of myself? Did they bring her around for me—because they pitied me? My palms started sweating, then my back, and then chills ran up my neck and behind my ears. My face felt hot; it was probably very red.
I must have looked pathetic. I bumbled and fidgeted, my eyes resting anywhere but on her—on the ceiling, on the floor, on the beer. She only seemed to become more patient with my every awkward move. That look on her face—that look of concern bordering on pity—it just made me feel even worse. When it felt like it was getting to be too much, I put the beer down and shuffled wordlessly into the bathroom. As I closed the door behind me, I caught a glimpse of her face: she looked bewildered.
'It's just…' he trailed off.
I've heard this — or different iterations of similar sentiments — hundreds of times in my two years as an anonymous online listener. What I do is simple: through an ad on Craigslist, I offer to listen to stories that people have never told before. I do it anonymously and for free. My subjects know that I'm not a therapist. We sit down to talk as friends, often over a cup of coffee.
The service I provide is a simple one: I listen; I engage; I ask questions. A few months into this, I began to ask permission from my subjects to write about their experiences. The purpose was to create an anonymous pay-it-forward confessional where people can learn from each other and perhaps, in sharing their stories, not feel so alone.
It's not surprising that the vast majority of stories I hear are about love and its side effects — divorce, money, kids, midlife crises, lost loves and missed opportunities, regrets, affairs, and everything in between. Over the years and the span of more than 400 accounts, I started to notice some patterns in the stories that people have shared. I've kept a list of lessons learned, some of which may surprise you.

We the People: Time for integrity
By Jaime DeJesus	• October 13, 2017 @ 1:22 pm
Society is built upon trust and trust upon the confidence we can place upon one another's integrity. Without trust and integrity, we are mere individuals without the benefit of civilized society.
The mass murder in Las Vegas was a depraved and despicable act beyond the ability of words to describe. The victims were peaceful and good citizens, and society failed to protect them from senseless violence.
It is time to pass sensible gun laws. This criminal would have been able to purchase firearms and kill many people even if federal gun regulations were made stronger. However, that is not a reason to refuse to discuss and debate stronger gun laws. Any enhancement to existing regulations that would make it harder for a psychopath or terrorist to acquire the tools needed to commit mass murder would be good.
Most Americans support stronger gun laws. Most Americans want laws that would reduce gun deaths. The American people must stand up to the National Rifle Association in order to get stronger regulations that make it more difficult for criminals to obtain deadly weapons. Unfortunately, our lawmakers — especially our Republican lawmakers — are in thrall to the NRA.
The NY Times reported that the top 10 recipients of NRA funding are Republicans and include John McCain (Arizona), Richard Burr (North Carolina) and Barbara Comstock (Virginia). Ninety five of the top 100 recipients of NRA money in the House are Republican.
These NRA-supported lawmakers deplore the violence after mass shootings and state that they are praying for or thinking about the victims. Prayers and thoughts must be replaced with plans and actions.
Every citizen should write, email or tweet representatives and senators and demand that a change be made to the patchwork quilt of ineffective gun regulations that allows individuals to purchase military style weapons and ammunition in ridiculous amounts.
The Las Vegas murderer rained hundreds of bullets down on concertgoers because he had fully loaded high capacity ammunition magazines and "bump stock" devices on a dozen of the military style assault rifles that he used in the attack.
A bump stock is a legal replacement for a semi-automatic rifle stock designed to help shooting enthusiasts with hand mobility limitations fire a semi-automatic rifle without the individual trigger pulls normally required.
Unfortunately, it also makes semi-automatic rifles perform more like fully automatic rifles. The rifle can slide back and forth rapidly and harness the energy of the kickback when the rifle fires to "bump" it back and forth between the shooter's shoulder and trigger finger while firing. This allows the rifle to fire rapidly again and again with the application of steady pressure.
Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced a bill to ban bump stock equipment and other devices that make semi-automatic rifles perform like automatic ones. This common-sense response to the Las Vegas massacre prompted Republicans in Congress to express openness to legislation regulating bump stocks.
This does not mean that they will not merely wait till the smoke clears before burying the bill in a committee. It is time for petitions and for demands to be made for stronger federal gun regulation.
Republican and Democratic leaders can work together to increase background and mental health checks for potential gun owners. There is no reason that a limit cannot be implemented and enforced on the amount of weapons an individual may purchase or warehouse.
In 2016, the NRA spent $4 million on lobbying and direct contributions to politicians as well as more than $50 million on political advocacy. It opposes every proposal to strengthen firearm regulations and works to remove existing restrictions on gun possession. Our lawmakers should refuse to take the money.
Politicians offering prayers and thoughts and moments of silence after a mass shooting still take pro-gun lobby money and muzzle any legislative debate on enhancing federal gun regulations. The likelihood of this Congress passing meaningful gun reform is next to none unless the people demand action.
The bump stock bill is tailored to address a loophole in existing federal gun regulations and it should be a "no-brainer" even for Republicans. House Speaker Paul Ryan said this is "clearly something we need to look into." The time for prayers, thoughts or looks has passed especially now that the NRA is preparing its response to the reaction over the massacre.
Don Turner, president of the local NRA organization, said that tougher gun laws could not have prevented this mass murderer from assembling his arsenal of weapons. He asked, "How do you balance freedom with security?" He stated that even in prison "people … still manufacture weapons and they still murder each other."
Really? The NRA believes that even bump stocks must be protected because regulating them will not prevent murderers in prison from murdering other inmates.
I know that people at concerts, people in night clubs, children in school and college students on campus should be protected from mass shooting violence. We do not have to accept this situation.
This does not have to be a battle between anti-gun activists and pro-gun advocates. This should be a civil debate between our lawmakers with the singular goal of passing a federal law that provides maximum protection for Americans and which leaves the right to bear arms intact.

Emma Johns '20 pursues the ball during Saturday's field hockey game against Amherst. The Panthers defeated the Mammoths 5–4.
Middlebury extended its winning streak to five games and remains on top of the NESCAC after defeating Amherst and Hamilton this past weekend.
The Panthers took an early lead in Saturday's home game against Amherst, with Emma Johns '20 (this week's NESCAC Player of the Week) scoring two goals in the first eight minutes. Toward the end of the first half, captain Grace Jennings '19 carried the ball up the left side of the field and sent it toward the net, where Molly Freeman '19 tipped it in. Jennings set up another goal early in the second half, passing to sophomore Danielle Brown, who scored her fourth of the season.
Amherst initiated a quick comeback, managing to score three goals in less than 10 minutes to make the score 4–3 at 47:08. Responding to the challenge, Johns completed a hat trick just a few minutes later, scoring Middlebury's final goal of the game. Though Amherst managed to find the back of the net one more time, the Panthers walked away with a 5–4 win.
Sunday's decisive 4–0 win against Hamilton exemplified the team's ability to adjust quickly. Middlebury posted 12 shots on goal — three times as many attempts as Hamilton. Goalkeeper Megan Collins '19 stopped all four Hamilton shots, adding another shutout to her record and upping her save percentage to .692.
Next up, the team takes on its longstanding rival Bowdoin at noon on Saturday, Sept. 22 at home. Come out to cheer on the Panthers as they battle to keep the top spot in the NESCAC.
Grace Jennings '19 scored the first goal of the game against Amherst.

Small but significant usability sins that websites should never commit
I spent the past two days running usability tests on websites that sell financial products like life cover, funeral policies, and annuities. The target market is lower-income users who access the Internet at least once a day on a desktop at home or work, or on their phones. They are, for the most part, tech literate, and very used to finding their way around the Internet. I wanted to document some of the more general findings while we're knee-deep in analysis and everything is still fresh.
What follows is a list of interaction design elements that I believe should never, ever be used on a website. They might seem like small issues, but I've seen time and again how small things add up, and eventually end with frustrated users who abandon a site altogether. Also, if you're tempted to think that your users are different and somehow more sophisticated than the ones we tested, please consider the growing digital usability divide.
So, here it is — an incomplete, top-of-mind list of usability sins your website should never commit, based on data gathered through in-person usability testing:
Don't use an asterisk (*) to mark required form fields — especially if there is no explanation of what the asterisk means. Most users do not understand this at all. Instead, state that all fields are required unless indicated otherwise, and then mark optional fields with the word (optional). By the way, Luke agrees with me on this one.
Don't open links in new browser tabs. Tabbed browsing is for advanced users. If you open a page in a new tab, most users will get lost, start clicking the back button, and then not understand why they can't get back to where they started. Remember that they're not focused on the chrome when they click a link, they're focused on where they're clicking. So it's very easy to miss the fact that a new tab has opened.
Don't have an FAQ page. Most users don't know what FAQ stands for, and besides, it's bad practice to answer questions outside the context people want to ask them in. Figure out where in the process each question in your FAQ might come up, and provide the answer right there within the flow. Don't expect people to click to a different page to find the information they need.
Don't use PDFs at all (unless you're explicitly stating that it's a downloadable research paper or something). Many users have no idea what a PDF is, and can't even tell when they've clicked on one. There's no reason to have your rates/menus/timetables as a PDF as opposed to standard text. This was a recurring theme, but one user in particular clicked on a PDF, didn't realize it, and continued interacting with it as if they were still on the website.
Don't give table rows highlighting mouse-overs if the rows aren't clickable. This confuses users. Any mouse-over movement gives users a trigger that they can click on the thing. Don't think they'll look at the cursor and distinguish between an arrow and a hand — most don't look past the hover effect.
This is obviously a fairly random list of UI transgressions, but I feel like we talk about the big issues so often that we tend to skim over the smaller ones that can really add up. If you were observing the usability tests we ran this week, you would have felt the same way I did when you saw person after person struggling with the most standard of UI conventions. Let's just not do these things, for the love of the web and everyone who uses it.

My name is Michail Grey Wolf Guruev. Whilst my Buryat Wife with our Evenk Daughter live in the Siberian Republic of Buryatia, a member of the Russian Federation, I do roam places between Mongolia and Finland being a nomade by my nature. Because having such character I'm an artist without studio.
My fields are GRAPHIC, PAINTING, TEXTILE, SCULPTURE and DESIGN.
Having exclusively the theme "Natur & Man" and not vice versa as my own, all works of art are created under the open sky in presence of my animal relation.
My mother derives from the Evenkis, a small Tungus nomadic nation native in regions of Siberia, Mongolia and Northern China. Father is an European unknown.
Our primary source of occupation is reindeer herding (Asiatic First Nations are the only one worldwide who rides them), hunting,fishing and horse breeding, but some of our people are busy in 'higher' leveled professions.
More information about our various peoples and regions you'll find in: http://www.baikal.net, http://www.spri.cam.ac.uk/people/jeoh2/2evenki.htm and in THE BEST OF MY FAVORITE 'PAGES.
For those who are interested in as well for the media's use, read what's written by others under CURRICULUM VITAE 'cause nothing is to hide.
1st) May I have your attention for a social project? Please visit the project CULTURE CENTER OF NORTHERN ASIAN FIRST PEOPLES' ART.
2nd) Most important for me is to have a manager or gallery located outside of the Russ. Federation and Mongolia who like to devote time for organizing expositions, workshops, events, projects and does sale my art. Also I would like to own the help of an agent of literature who cares for ethnic art books.
3rd) Being very creative and productive my works range from all size. From the design for a stamp up to large murals - interior & exterior. For great projects I'll be willing to travel outside of my place if they are profitable enough. A manager may cause a good order, certainly by his or her own profit.
4th) I like to offer my creative power to any kind of merchandise-productions, that like to own northern wildlife as reflection. In this case I think on: Books, calendars, posters, T-shirts, packings, souvenirs, et cetera.
5th) I previously work with architects in many regions and would be willing to work in your area as well. Such works run under 'Architecture & Art' and can show huge sculptures and wallpaintings, in- or outdoors. Some customers of my past were: 'Simson & Sears', 'Tchibo', 'Unilever', 'GermanFederal Institute of Oceanfishery', 'German-Japanese-Centre', 'Media-Center', 'State Museum of Ethnology' and 'Museum of the State Institute of Zoology' (the letter in Germany), etc., etc..
6th) I'm also fit in the designing of carpets, scarves and other textiles which need a circulat or seamless view.
For each reason you can reach me under info@menschenrechte3000.de.
Please note: All fees bear my financial support for the top named center!
Being a self-educated artist, many clippings tell about expositions mostly held in museums of Buryatia, Russia, Finland, Germany etc. and about workshops in Mongolia, Norway, Canada or USA.
Also a t.v.-report was done on me and my work, ditto local t.v.- & radio-coverages. But such were never happen in Canada or USA, two countries which gave me the possibility of global thinking.

Making KAHANIS available to the Visually Impaired just through a Website
The Kahani of KAHANI PROJECT
Panchatantra, Akbar Birbal, Malgudi Days – These are stories without which a childhood is unimaginable. Nights spent on the cozy beds reading your favorite bedtime stories or your grandparents narrating those for you in the most thrilling fashion. Ah… It used to be fun! Now imagine a scenario where all these beautiful visuals become just plain paper for you. The words seem to sink away in the depths of darkness. This might sound horrifying but this situation is faced by thousands across the globe who are visually impaired. Should they spend a childhood without the bliss of stories?
While attending a workshop in Singapore, the same thought crossed the mind of Ajay. In the workshop he performed numerous tasks in a dark room with 15 people. The tasks which seemed simple at first proved to be incomprehensibly daunting. What left them amazed at the end was the fact that the facilitators of the program were all visually impaired and yet performed every task smoothly. This taught him something. He understood that our body is so habituated of using just one faculty of sense- vision, that it has forgotten the presence of the other faculties which are equally important. That darkness inside that room illuminated an idea in Ajay's mind. One fine day, he found himself reading out stories to the visually impaired kids of a nearby NGO 'The Doorstep' and to some kids residing at a nearby construction site. The appeal of a Kahani struck Ajay and that's how 'The Kahani Project' was born. A group of friends with an idea of recording audio stories and crowdsourcing them on an open platform. Completely 'not for profit', the project is run by an active network of volunteers all throughout the country, recording and uploading stories just with their laptops and headphones.
The project comprises of Story Sessions conducted by volunteers in different blind schools, government schools, areas in the outskirts of the city like a construction site and a website which is an open source database containing 500 stories made accessible worldwide. 'The Kahani Project' also organizes story telling workshops called 'storythons', in which people participate in huge numbers and record stories. Fairy tales, fables, myths, legends and short stories narrated in 10 different languages, touch the lives of thousands of children, especially the differently abled and underprivileged kids. The gleaming faces of those children and ecstatic uproar become a story in itself for the storytellers. One they can cherish forever.
"What gives me immense pleasure is to see those kids enjoying, laughing and rolling on the ground while I have these story sessions with them. For us, that is Kahani Project's success and that is immeasurable", joyfully expresses Ajay Dasgupta. With 500 stories already uploaded and accessed by listeners across 70 countries, the project aims to reach a stage where every child spends a complete childhood brimming with thought provoking stories that can shape their outlook towards the world. Ajay mentions, "As hygiene and good health is important, so is the role of a story in every child's life", for what subtly inculcates the values of life in a child, what lays the foundation of a child's personality- a story, a 'Kahani' it is.

Q: How to disable automatic line breaking in TextView? I have a TextView which contains a random string of 60 characters.
The string is a single word and does not contain any white spaces.
The problem is that after certain characters (e.g. @, &, %) I get an automatic line break which I do not want.
My desired outcome is that every line is filled up to the end and no random line breaks are present.
I have tried setting breakStrategy and updating hyphenationFrequency, but this has not helped.
How can I prevent this from happening?

UPDATE: Thanks to @Darkman, this is the solution, which I have written. It checks how many characters can fit into a single line without line-breaks and appends \n at the end.
Be aware that for my use case string has no blank spaces and I am using a monospace font.
fun TextView.toNonBreakingString(text: String?): String {
    if (text == null) return ""
    val container = parent as? ViewGroup ?: return text

    val lineWidth = (container.width - container.paddingStart - container.paddingEnd).toFloat()
    val maxCharsInOneLine = paint.breakText(text, 0, text.length, true, lineWidth, null)
    if (maxCharsInOneLine == 0) return text

    val sb = StringBuilder()
    var currentLine = 1
    var end = 0
    for (i in 0..text.count() step maxCharsInOneLine) {
        end = currentLine * maxCharsInOneLine
        if (end > text.length) end = text.length
        sb.append(text.subSequence(i, end))
        sb.append("\n")
        currentLine = currentLine.inc()
    }

    if (end < text.length) {
        val remainingChars = text.length - end
        sb.append(text.takeLast(remainingChars))
    }

    return sb.toString()
}

A: One way to achieve your desired result is by using monospace font, left gravity and a little bit programming.
<TextView
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="200dp"

   android:text="akAOCYMKIpVmSwhHtWS%fBFK7eWi%19a590344gZqGQtkTcRv^1lFqH#F@Lhr"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:background="#708BCD"
    android:id="@+id/tv"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:typeface="monospace"/>

//Note :: Auto-updated
public final void wrapText(final TextView textView, final String text)
{
    final float textSize = (textView.getTextSize() / 250F) * 150F;
    final int textLen = text.length();
    final int columns = (int)(textView.getWidth() / textSize);
    final int lines = (int)((float) textLen / columns);
    final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(textLen + lines);
    for(int i=0, n=0; i < textLen; i+=columns, ++n) {
        sb.append(text.subSequence(i, Math.min(textLen, i + columns)));
        if(n<lines) sb.append("\n");
    }
    textView.setText(sb.toString());
}

Or
//Note :: Auto-updated
public final void wrapText(final TextView textView)
{
    final float textSize = (textView.getTextSize() / 250F) * 150F;
    final CharSequence text = textView.getText();
    final int textLen = text.length();
    final int columns = (int)(textView.getWidth() / textSize);
    final int lines = (int)((float) textLen / columns);
    final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(textLen + lines);
    for(int i=0, n=0; i < textLen; i+=columns, ++n) {
        sb.append(text.subSequence(i, Math.min(textLen, i + columns)));
        if(n<lines) sb.append("\n");
    }
    textView.setText(sb.toString());
}

Or
// Note :: Self-update
public final String wrapText(final TextView textView, final String text)
{
    final float textSize = (textView.getTextSize() / 250F) * 150F;
    final int textLen = text.length();
    final int columns = (int)(textView.getWidth() / textSize);
    final int lines = (int)((float) textLen / columns);
    final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(textLen + lines);
    for(int i=0, n=0; i < textLen; i+=columns, ++n) {
        sb.append(text.subSequence(i, Math.min(textLen, i + columns)));
        if(n<lines) sb.append("\n");
    }
    return sb.toString();
}

// Implementation:
// textView.setText(wrapText(textView, "akAOCYMKIpVmSwhHtWS%fBFK7eWi%19a590344gZqGQtkTcRv^1lFqH#F@Lhr"));

And you need to call either one of the methods after the layout has been measured. That means outside of onCreate(), onCreateView() or something similar.

A: If your API level is 26+ then you can use the following XML tag to set the justification in android.
android:justificationMode="inter_word"

Or you can use this GitHub library for all the API levels

A: I know this solution is little bit odd but if anything is not desirable or if you did't find any solution in near future, then you can use:
        <HorizontalScrollView
            android:fillViewport="true"
            android:scrollbars="none"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            >
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/file_name"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:maxLines="1"
                android:textStyle="bold"
                android:text="@string/file_name"
                android:textColor="?attr/primaryText"/>

        </HorizontalScrollView>

Winds of Mars: Aeolian Activity and Landforms
Many modern martian placenames are derived from placenames applied by the early observers of Mars, most notably Schiaparelli, Antoniadi, and Lowell. They mapped albedo features, real and imagined, and gave them fanciful names. Many of these classical terms (marked by "*") were retained even after spacecraft observations revealed their true nature, usually with the addition of a geographical-type designator. Selection of geographical names for all extraterrestrial bodies is the province of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Two valuable sources for information on martian nomenclature are Blunck (1977) and Masursky et al. (1986).
Aeolian (ay-OH-lee-an) - Pertaining to the wind, from the Latin Aeolius, the God of Wind. Also spelled eolian (ee-OH-lee-an), although I prefer the former, which conforms with both Aeolius and the Aeolian Islands in the Mediterranean.
Albedo (al-BE-doh) - The ratio of radiation reflected from a surface to that impinging on the surface. In digital image processing, 256 gray levels, ranging from pure black (0) to pure white (255), are used to measure the albedo of a surface. From the Latin albus, meaning white.
Arcadia Planitia* (ar-CAY-dee-a plan-EE-sha) - A classical martian placename first used by Schiaparelli in 1882. Arcadia Planitia is located northwest of Tharsis at approximately 50°, 155°. Arkadia is a district in ancient Greece.
Argyre Planitia* (AR-jire plan-EE-sha) - A classical martian placename first used by Schiaparelli in 1877. Argyre Planitia is an 800-km-diameter impact basin located at -50°, 45°. The root word is the Greek argyros meaning silver. Argyre was a mythical island of silver located near present-day Burma.
Barchan (BAR-can) - An isolated, crescent-shaped sand dune. The horns of the crescent point downwind, the direction of migration. From a Turkish word for sand hill, although detailed etymology is unclear.
Chryse Planitia* (CRIS-see plan-EE-sha) - The martian plain upon which VL-1 landed. Chryse is the classical name applied by Schiaparelli in 1877 to an area of high albedo. Chryse was a mythological gold-rich island in the Thailand area, often mentioned along with Argyre.
Dust devil - An atmospheric vortex caused by differential surface heating. Air near the ground is heated by the surface and rises through cooler air aloft. Dust devils pick up fine particles from the surface and thus are made visible. Dust devils on Earth are typically on the order of meters across and are capable of causing minor damage. Martian dust devils are larger.
Erg (erg) - A very large sand mass; a sand sea. From a Hamitic word areg or ergh for such a sand sea in the Sahara.
Hellas Planitia* (HEL-las plan-EE-sha) - A classical martian placename first used by Schiaparelli in 1877. Hellas Planitia is a 2000-km-diameter impact basin located at -40°, 290°. Hellas is an ancient name for Greece and is also a district in ancient Greece.
Hesperia Planum* (hes-PE-ree-a PLAY-num) - Another classical martian placename used by Schiaparelli in 1877, from the Greek Hesperia, meaning Western Land, the ancient Greek name for Italy.
Limb - The edge of a planet from the observer's vantage point. From the Latin limbus, meaning edge or border.
Mega-barchan - Extremely large, composite, barchan sand dune.
Mons pl. montes - A standard IAU feature name, taken from the Latin mons meaning mountain.
Oxia Palus* (OX-ee-a) - A martian placename that has been retained only as a quadrangle name. Lowell, in 1894, imagined that a canal he named Oxus (from the Oxus River in Uzbekistan, now called the Amu-Darya) passed through this area (15°, 15°), emptying into Oxianus Lacus (Lake of Aral), with an oasis at Oxia Palus. Antoniadi, in 1903, used the term Oxia for a region immediately to the north.
Olympus Mons (o-LIM-pus) - A term derived from a classical martian placename, Nix Olympica (snows of Olympus). Mt. Olympus in northern Greece was the home of the gods in Greek mythology. Olympus Mons is thought to be the largest volcano in the solar system, although some features of greater areal extent and possible volcanic origin occur on Venus. Olympus is visible from Earth under optimum visibility conditions when summit clouds substantially increase the local reflectivity, making Olympus one of the very few classical albedo markings of Mars that turned out to match a real geologic feature.
Palus (PAL-us) - Swamp. A classical name for certain regions on the Moon and Mars, akin to "seas."
Planitia (plan-EE-sha) - An IAU geographical feature name meaning "low plain."
Planum (PLAY-num) - An IAU geographical feature name meaning "high plain" or "plateau."
Sand - Particulate material resulting from rock disintegration, with no connotation as to composition. Sand ranges in diameter from 62.5 micrometers (very fine) to 2 millimeters (very coarse). Martian winds will move 160-micrometer particles more readily than any other size.
Solis Planum* (SOH-liss) - A martian plateau located at 125°, 90°. It retains the name from Solis Lacus (Lake of the Sun), a classical albedo feature from the map of Schiaparelli (1879).
Syria Planum* - A martian plateau located at -15°, 105°, southeast of Tharsis, from a placename applied in 1958 by the IAU to a portion of Thaumasia. Syria is in close proximity to Solis Lacus and Phoencis Lacus (named for the Sun bird); the name was applied to an area near "Sun"-related names because it was used by Homer in the Odyssey to describe an island where the Sun turns about.
Syrtis Major Planitia* (SEER-tiss) - A martian plain located at 10°, 290°, that retains a classical name that was applied by Schiaparelli in 1877. Syrtis is one of the most prominent low albedo features on Mars and is easily seen with a small telescope. The name is derived from the Gulf of Sidra off the Libyan coast, whose shape it superficially resembles.
Tharsis* (THAR-siss) - An elevated region on Mars containing the Tharsis Montes, four extremely large volcanos: Olympus, Ascraeus, Pavonis, and Arsia. Tharsis is a classical martian placename used by Schiaparelli in 1877. It is a name thought to be derived from the Biblical Spanish port of Tartessus, which was destroyed in 500 B.C.
Thaumasia* (thou-MAY-zha) - A classical martian albedo feature named by Schiaparelli in 1879 after Thaumas, god of clouds. It is only used today for the Thaumasia Fossae, fossae meaning long narrow depressions.
Utopia Planitia* - A martian plain located at 40°, 260°. The classical term was applied by Schiaparelli in 1882, using a term for "no where," an ideal state, coined by Sir Thomas More in 1516.

The Badge Alliance is a distributed community. Its membership is comprised of individuals and organizations who collaborate to build and support the open badging ecosystem. Our shared values include openness, learner agency, and innovation. In practice, that means we work in the open, start new collaborations quickly, and leave public records of a large proportion of Badge Alliance activities.
In June 2015, we convened the Open Badges Leaders Summit to identify strategic goals to advance the Open Badges ecosystem as it matures. One of the key outcomes of that convening was an understanding that resources in the badges community needed better organization and consolidation. Following up on that goal, the Badge Alliance has crafted the following documentation and community plan for 2016 that starts with a relaunch of our core web properties in Q1 followed by a refocusing of our communications channels to concentrate discussion activities and increase cross-pollination of related work.
The Community Plan below covers how Badge Alliance members can keep up with current events, participate in collaborative work, and convene to more deeply connect with peers and set the direction for their work.
One of the core functions of the Badge Alliance (BA) is to keep members connected to one another and informed about developments around the ecosystem as well as opportunities to participate in the development of the specification.
Working Groups and Task Forces — The collaborative technical work of the Badge Alliance is done in groups. The Standard and Higher Ed working groups are currently active, and new groups or more targeted Task Forces are periodically chartered to address the core areas of specification and ecosystem development that require direct collaboration. Each group makes its own schedule but typically meets fortnightly for an hour at a time that works best for its contributors. Event details and conference location appear on the Events Calendar. The Higher Ed Working Group meets every other Tuesday at noon US Eastern with the next meeting on March 22 featuring Ian O'Byrne. The Standard Working Group meets every other Tuesday at 2pm US Eastern with the next meeting on March 29.
Weekly Community Call — Every Wednesday at noon US Eastern is a 60-minute call that's the heartbeat check-in for the Open Badges community. Featuring presentations from Open Badges implementers, community panels, and special topics from invited experts. Attending 4 weeks in a row is the quickest way to get up to speed on developments in badges. Topics are announced in advance on the core mailing list each week.
Badge Alliance Blog | Medium — For 2016, we've moved the official publication channel for timely writing to Medium, to consolidate several previous locations for our official written output. While most of the posts found here will be official posts by BA staff or working group deliverables, the BA solicits and accepts submissions for posts that share other perspectives on Open Badges ecosystem development. All posts published under CC-BY license.
Openbadges.org — The core resource hub for Open Badges, from the elevator pitch to detailed guides. This will be the official publication channel for documentation, but also links out to resources and compatible services offered by BA members. Badge Alliance staff, led by Chris Crytzer, have been collecting pieces of documentation published by the Open Badges team during the last 5 years into a new more complete sitemap, and we're prepping for a relaunch at the end of March.
Open Badges Mailing List and Open Badges Dev List — Collaborative work produces a lot of discussion, but much of the important threads of conversation had been diffused among too large a number of mailing lists, and people were missing important messages. We're redirecting working group conversations to use the two core mailing lists. The Standard Working Group and other technical efforts will use the Dev list, while nontechnical Working Groups are invited to use the main badges list. Announcements on each of the affected mailing lists are forthcoming.
Events Calendar — Check in and subscribe to the official Open Badges Events Calendar. This holds information about the official working group calls for active groups, the weekly Community Call, webinars, in-person conferences and other events closely related to Open Badges and the work of the BA.
Twitter — Follow the @OpenBadges account and the #OpenBadges hashtag for timely updates from around the Alliance. Dozens of community members are regularly sharing updates tagged with the hashtag. Recurring Twitter chats for several communities of practice are organized by BA members and appear on the Events calendar.
Slack — Register for the Badge Alliance Slack Channel where BA staff and community members are often available to answer quick questions, discuss issues, or collaborate on working group deliverables.
Sometimes, it's possible to get things done face to face that are impossible no matter how many conference calls are devoted to a topic. The Badge Alliance will partner with BA member organizations to offer a series of official Open Badges events around the globe every year. These will typically be paired with a conference or workshop offered by a Badge Alliance member around a topic of interest to the badges community.
Aurora Badges Summit — June 24, Aurora, CO, the day before the ISTE Conference: featuring keynotes and workshops on a wide variety of badges topics.
Digital Media & Learning (DML) — October 5–7, Irvine, CA: The core conference for the Connected Learning community, featuring Geek-outs, ignite talks, keynotes, and a variety of presentations from radical learning organizations.
ePIC 2016 — October 26–28, Bologna, Italy: Featuring presentations and collaboration on ePortfolios, Open Badges, Personal Ledgers, Identities, Trust, Blockchains.
Loves open education, #OpenBadges, free culture, Progress of the Useful Arts and Sciences, people-powered politics, and local food. Builds badge-aware software.

Driving home from Wellington to the Wairarapa a few days ago, I seized the opportunity to play a new CD I'd been looking forward to (thanks, Simon). Listening to music in the car isn't ideal; even with a reasonably good stereo, road and wind noise can muddy the sound. But because there are no distractions (gosh, was that a logging truck that pulled over just then to avoid hitting me?), some of my most rewarding listening these days is done on the road. And albums don't come much more rewarding than this.
It was the latest release by Melbourne-based New Zealand country singer and songwriter Donna Dean, who was mentioned in this blog last year. Tyre Tracks and Broken Hearts is not just a great New Zealand country album – that might be interpreted as damning it with faint praise – but a great country album, full stop. It was recorded in Dunedin but would be no less great if it had come out of Nashville, where it richly deserves to be noticed.
The album is a revelation not just for the quality of Dean's vocals and songwriting, but also for the musicians she and producer John Egenes – a former American session musician, ex of Sante Fe but now in the music department at Otago University – gathered around them.
Many of these names were unfamiliar to me, but it turns out they're veterans of the Otago music scene: people such as drummer Marcel Rodeka, once with the outrageous 1970s Dunedin band Mother Goose, and Dunedin folkies John Dodd (bass), Lynn Vare, Mike Moroney and Dave Coleclough (vocals) and Anna Bowen (fiddle). I use that term "folkies" merely as a label of convenience in this context, since their superb work on this album shows how blurred the line has become between folk and other genres such as country and bluegrass.
Egenes himself is a huge presence, contributing pedal steel guitar, mandolin, dobro and acoustic guitar. But the drop-dead names in the credits, listed so casually you'd think they were everyday fixtures on New Zealand albums, are those of Albert Lee, Amos Garrett, Redd Volkaert and Gurf Morlix, who laid down their instrumental tracks overseas.
Google these names if they mean nothing to you. Suffice it to say that British-born guitarist Lee was in Emmylou Harris's fabled Hot Band, Garrett played one of the most memorable guitar solos in the history of pop music (that's him on Maria Muldaur's Midnight at the Oasis), Volkaert is a Grammy Award winner who played in Merle Haggard's band and multi-instrumentalist Morlix has worked with the likes of Lucinda Williams.
Morlix was roped in by Egenes but Dean tells me she recruited the other musicians with the help of a friend in Germany, where she has toured. Another sublime instrumentalist on the album is English fiddler Jane Clark, whom Egenes had toured with (just listen to her exhilarating interplay with Lee and Egenes on the title track. Brilliant).
Needless to say, you don't attract the attention of musicians like these without having something worthwhile to bring to the table. Dean is a masterful songwriter whose best work packs a real emotional punch; Twister, in which a girl asks her mother's killer why he did it, is a song so wrenching it's hard to believe it's not autobiographical.
Dean is open about having led a tough life – drugs, rehab, a father in prison – and must have to reach deep inside herself to write songs like this. What makes the songs work so well is that their emotional pitch is perfectly complemented by her voice. It has a resigned, almost world-weary quality, as if she's seen it all before.
Yet she never descends to slash-your-wrist despair. And though a thread of dark country gothic runs through her material (I wonder if she's a fan of the Louvin Brothers, who never seemed happier than when singing about gruesome murders), there's light as well as shade. How About Texas is a jaunty, uncomplicated piece of western swing; Banjo Mac is an affectionate tribute to her grandfather.
It's clear from her references to Krispy Kreme donuts, rattlesnakes and Chevy pickups that Dean has an eye on the US market (in Banjo Mac, her grandfather becomes granddaddy), but her songs never sound cringingly contrived. This is a superb album that neatly turns the cultural cringe on its head, forcing me to seriously question my long-held assumption that only Americans can write authentic country music.
Thanks Karl, will keep an eye out for that album. Country music from Dunedin - who would have guessed?


So strictly speaking I guess that staircase design isn't really a room design but part of the circulation space of your home. When you stop to think about how much time you spend going up and down the stairs it probably rivals with the amount of time you spend in the bathroom.
These pages discuss both the style and the technical aspects of stairway design. The different staircase design elements are broken down and discussed separately to allow you to assess what might be the best staircase design for you.
So there's the obvious activity of moving from one floor to the next, but if you stop and think for a while, there's a host of other needs and usage possibilities that can be accommodated by your staircase.
It's not only people that need to move from one floor to the next, but also stuff. How is your staircase design going to make it easier to store the items that need to travel between floors while taking safety considerations into account?
How about the following alternative uses for the stairs?
A great storage opportunity, either under the stairs or around the walls of the stairs for books and objects.
A seat to sit on to put on your shoes.
An opportunity to showcase and admire art, objects or family pictures on the walls or on the landings.
A quiet place to sit or read if there are large landings.
Stairs as a stage for carol singers at Christmas parties.
The staircase is a very important design element of your home. Staircases take up a large volume of space due to the fact that two floor are involved. And that volume is not all that flexible since the bottom half of a staircase can't be separated from the top half. Because of this (and yet still somewhat surprisingly) the placement of the staircase is one of the first things that should be considered in the design of a home and it's one of the most difficult things to change later on in the design process, without considerable ramifications on the other spaces in the home.
Here are some points to consider regarding staircase placement.
The staircase can either be located centrally or in contact with an exterior wall. There are pros and cons to both these choices. If the staircase is placed centrally it won't be possible to have a window, although the staircase can always be lit from a skylight above. If the staircase is placed in contact with an exterior wall then the window is possible. In homes with a small amount of exterior wall space (eg New York Brownstone) it is preferable to keep external wall space for rooms where windows are essential.
Another choice to be made with respect to placement is where the stairs should be in relation to the other spaces in the home. The two most common placements for staircases include, commencing in the main entrance hall from the front door and commencing from a living space further inside the home.
If you have a large home, consider having more than one staircase. A small additional staircase can create a more intimate flow than might perhaps be afforded by the main staircase. I have seen two particular arrangements that I thought worked really well. The first was in a townhouse which had the kitchen and dining space downstairs at the back of the home, and the adult drawing room on the first level at the back of the home connected to the dining space with a small staircase. This avoided moving from the kitchen, to the front of the home, up the main staircase and back to the back of the home to get to and from the main adult living spaces of the home. Another example was a staircase connecting the upstairs area where the kids bedrooms were located with the downstairs playroom.
The last point we'll discuss about placement concerns the configuration of the levels of your home themselves. Is your home going to be built all on one or two flat levels or is there an opportunity to add some interest by putting in some split levels. Split levels make a home more interesting to navigate and they can be used to create different ceiling heights.
Staircases are in proportion to the rest of the home.
Enhances and works with the style of your home.
If the home is more than two floors, it isn't too far to travel from one staircase to another to traverse more than one level.
Includes all the features required to ensure safety.
Just like everyone else, I love the great pictures you can browse through online. Here's a few on staircase design. I've made comments to illustrate the points I've made on these stairway design pages.

Q: Trouble sharing a mongodb connection in Node.js I am trying to write a service to manage the mongodb connection. I want the connection to open once and then be reused:
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;

// Port it always 27017
const url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017';

// The database name
const dbName = 'mongo-crud';

let db = null;

// Gets an instance of the db
module.exports.getDB = () => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  if (db) {
    console.log('already got the db');
    resolve(db);
    return;
  }

  MongoClient.connect(url, { useUnifiedTopology: true })
  .then(client => {
    console.log('make a new client');
    db = client.db(dbName);
    resolve(db);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    reject(error);
    process.exit(1);
  })
});

I test this in my App.js:
const client = require('./MongoDBService');

client.getDB()
 .then(db => console.log('database connected'))
 .catch(error => console.log(error));

client.getDB()
  .then(db => db.collection('dogs'))
  .then(collection => collection.find().toArray())
  .then(array => console.log(array))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

client.getDB()
  .then(db => db.collection('cats'))
  .then(collection => collection.find().toArray())
  .then(array => console.log(array))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

When I check the console log it appears to be creating a new instance each time "make a new client", why am I losing the db object here?

A: Try running it inside an async function and wait for it
const client = require('./MongoDBService');

async function init () {
  await client.getDB()
   .then(db => console.log('database connected'))
   .catch(error => console.log(error));

  await client.getDB()
    .then(db => db.collection('dogs'))
    .then(collection => collection.find().toArray())
    .then(array => console.log(array))
    .catch(error => console.error(error));

  await client.getDB()
    .then(db => db.collection('cats'))
    .then(collection => collection.find().toArray())
    .then(array => console.log(array))
    .catch(error => console.error(error));
}

init()

But you could also but them all together in a promise chain
const client = require('./MongoDBService');

client.getDB()
 .then(db => console.log('database connected'))
 .catch(error => console.log(error))

 .then(client.getDB())
 .then(db => db.collection('dogs'))
 .then(collection => collection.find().toArray())
 .then(array => console.log(array))
 .catch(error => console.error(error));

 .then(client.getDB())
 .then(db => db.collection('cats'))
 .then(collection => collection.find().toArray())
 .then(array => console.log(array))
 .catch(error => console.error(error));

And when you are done playing you should definitely use async/await
const client = require('./MongoDBService');

async function dbStuff () {
  const db = await client.getDB()
  console.log('database connected')

  const dogsCollection = db.collection('dogs')
  const array = await dogsCollection.find().toArray()
  console.log(array)

  const catsCollection = db.collection('cats'))
  const catsArray = await catsCollection.find().toArray()
  console.log(catsArray)
}

const init = async () => {
  try {
    await doStuff()
  } catch(error) {
    console.error(error)
  }
}

init()
// OR
// doStuff().catch(error => console.error(error));

WHAT THE MASTERS HAVE SAID
In 1888, speaking of Col. Olcott, an article in this magazine quoted from letters from the Adepts sent to Mr. Sinnett at a time some objections were made to the work of the Society on the ground that enough attention was not paid to men of science and to science itself. Since the year in which those letters were written many persons have joined the Theosophical Society and its sphere of work has greatly extended. And now no less than then, the workers have begun to pay too much attention to the intellectual side of Theosophy and too little to that phase on which the Masters who are behind insist and which is called by H.P.B. in The Voice of the Silence the "heart doctrine." Others also have said that they do not want any of the heart doctrine, but wish us to be highly respectable and scientific. Let us consult the Masters, those of us who believe in them.
When the letters to the Simla Lodge were written it was said by objecting Theosophists that it was time now to take a different tack and to work for men of science, and there was a slight suspicion of a repulsion between the Hindus, who are black, and the Europeans, as well as an openly expressed condemnation of the methods of Col. Olcott and H. P. Blavatsky. The reply from the Adepts, made after consultation with others very much higher still, runs in part:
No messenger of truth, no prophet, has ever achieved during his lifetime a complete triumph - not even Buddha. The Theosophical Society was chosen as the corner-stone, the foundation of the future religion of humanity. To achieve the proposed object a greater, wider, and especially a more benevolent intermingling of the high and the low, of the alpha and omega of society was determined on.
Who determined this? The Adepts and those who are yet still behind them, that is to say, for the Theosophist, the Dhyan Chohans who have control of such matters. Why was it decided? Because the world is sunk in sorrow and in selfishness which keeps the one side of society from helping the other. The letter goes on:
The white race must be the first to stretch out the hand of fellowship to the dark nations. This prospect may not smile to all alike. He is no Theosophist who objects to the principle . . . and it is we, the humble disciples of the perfect Lamas, who are expected to allow the Theosophical Society to drop its noblest title, The Brotherhood of Humanity, to become a simple school of philosophy. Let us understand each other. He who does not feel competent enough to grasp the noble idea sufficiently to work for it need not undertake a task too heavy for him.
The depth of the sarcasm here cannot be measured, and at the same time it is almost impossible to fully understand the opportunity pointed out in those words and the loss of progress one may suffer by not heeding them. They apply to all, and not merely to the persons they were written to, for the Masters always say what applies universally. The letter continues:
But there is hardly a Theosophist in the whole Society unable to effectually help it by correcting the erroneous impression of outsiders, if not by actually himself propagating this idea.
Later on, near the time when H.P.B. was in Germany, others came and asked what they might do, how they might work, and what "sphere of influence" they might find. The Master known as K. H. then wrote a letter to one, and at the same time sent copies with fuller notes on the communication to others. A part of that letter has lately been published in the German magazine, the Sphinx. In it the Master said among other things:
Spheres of influence can be found everywhere. The first object of the Theosophical Society is philanthropy. The true Theosophist is a philanthropist, who "Not for himself but for the world he lives." This, and philosophy, the right comprehension of life and its mysteries, will give the "necessary basis" and show the right path to pursue. Yet the best "sphere of influence" for the applicant is now in [his own land].
The reference to a basis and a sphere of influence is to the idea of those who held that a scientific or at least a very long preparation to get a basis and a sphere for work was needed first. But the answer shows the Adept as not agreeing, and as pointing out the way to work along the line of the heart doctrine. And some of the fuller notes annexed to the copy of this letter sent at the same time to others read:
My reference to "philanthropy" was meant in its broadest sense, and to draw attention to the absolute need of the "doctrine of the heart" as opposed to that which is merely "of the eye." And before, I have written that our society is not a mere intellectual school for occultism, and those greater than we have said that he who thinks the task of working for others too hard had better not undertake it. The moral and spiritual sufferings of the world are more important and need help and cure more than science needs aid from us in any field of discovery. "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." - K.H.
After seventeen years of work it is now time that the whole Society should pay a little more attention to the words of those Masters of wisdom who have thus indicated the road, and these are the "original lines" traced out and meant to be followed. All those who do not follow them are those who feel dissatisfied with our work, and those who try to go upon these lines are those who feel and know that help is always given to the sincere Theosophist who ever tries not only to understand the philosophy but also to make it forceful for the proving and the exemplifying of the doctrine and object of Universal Brotherhood.

Working To Make Lives Count
Lyon Koh
Social Worker, AMKFSC Community Services Limited
Meet Lyon Koh, a social worker whose passion for helping others and seeing them smile in return led her to join the social service. This is her story.
What sparked your interest in social service?
I decided early on to pursue a career in social service. I like to help people and see them smile, so dedicating myself to giving and helping others seemed to be the most meaningful way to live my life, given that I only live once.
Why did you choose to take up the Social Service Scholarship?
The scholarship allows me to have richer interactions with the social service sector prior to work, through various opportunities in connecting with those in the sector. Being in the NCSS Sun Ray Scheme also gives me added exposure to macro-level work through involvement in sector-wide initiatives and workgroups, which has been eye-opening for me.
What drives you to do what you do?
My strong belief that people should not be denied hope. If I can play a part, even in the smallest ways, and be a part of the process of co-creating hope for their future – that is what keeps me going every day.
Besides passion, what other qualities do you think are needed to work in this industry?
Resilience and patience are two qualities that are very important. The work is tough and working with people is never easy, so these two qualities will go a long way in helping us to overcome the challenges we face.
Everyone experiences setbacks. What motivates you to keep going whenever you feel that way?
Whenever I feel down, I remind myself of the struggles I faced in joining social service to keep myself grounded. Each time I face challenges and question my ability to cope, I remind myself that this is something that I want in life. That is the most important as other things will just fall into place.
How do your colleagues help you in your work?
My colleagues are supportive, helpful, and fun – they make work life more enjoyable and bearable in times of stress. I have always appreciated the caring check-ins that I have received from my peers and managers and how they are willing to go the extra mile to help and support me when I face challenges. The line of work we are in is tough and this further increases our need for social support – both peer and professional.
What advice would you give to those who are considering the social service scholarship?
Think about whether you really want to pursue a career in the social service, which particular service area, and why. If you are clear about your decision, just go for the scholarship and get that additional support for your goal. You never know until you try, so do not let other factors affect you from considering this scholarship.

Those amazing eyes feel like they can pierce right through your mind like an X-ray and read all your thought..
From the book: Max and the Red-Haired-Dragon.
"Judge people not by their color, gender or appearance, judge people only what is in their hearts and mind. Contrary to what you hear or believe there is only one race, the Human-Race!"
He thought, When you watch television, you can't tough or smell the flower.You can't feel the soft summer breeze. If you stay indoor in the winter, you can't feel "Mr. frosty" nipping at your nose or have a snow flake melt in your hand. You don't see the real color of the sky or a rainbow after a soft warm rain. How sad that the other kids don't smell, see and tough real flowers or take the time to enjoy nature.
All they do is watch a glass tube with color and words, but no warmth, no taste or smell. How sad.
Gabriel the dragon is passing on the message "There is only one human race"
My name is Billy. I saw your campaign on TV regarding obesity, and saw that you started a"LET'S MOVE" campaign., and I want to help all the kids .I heard what you said about getting sick from obesity, and I want to know what I can do to help my parents. I don't want them to die. Perhaps I can help other people at the same time.
I'm also inclosing a picture of my family . I know they are extra big but they are great parents, and I love them. My Librarian said that if you want to move a nation you must start with the grass roots. I want to build a grass root foundation, so I can help other boys and girls like me.
When I heard you on TV, you listed all the sicknesses that obesity can cause, and you said that people can die from it.
Please help me save my mom and dad. I don't want them to die.
This beautiful story was created when Iskinder asked his mother "Mama, why am I black."
His mother answered : "You are brown because you were created from the best of me and your dad into one beautiful baby. Dads brown skin with his hazel eyes and my blue eyes and white skin, including my strawberry blond hair, and all the smartness and love we shared was created in you. Iskinder smiled proudly.
His mother said, "Look into my eyes and always remember; always be proud of your identity and dwell upon it because this is what makes you different, not the outside color"
An experiment that went wrong creating a dog that has special powers. Only one scientist knew what it was .Now the government is trying to destroy all evidence including Liyla.
MAMA, WHY AM I BLACK.
A beautiful Christmas and Chanukah story. Ana created a snow angel and a snow-heart . It took lightning, a snow storm, love, warmth, compassion, a few drops of warm blood and good deeds to creating the miracle of life, Michael.
