BOSTON — On October 18, the MBTA celebrated the upcoming addition of its brand new catamaran ferry, the Champion, with a boat christening ceremony of the new ferry by MBTA General Manager Luis Manuel Ramírez, with Ramírez also meeting with the new vessel's crew and MBTA ferry management staff.
"The introduction of the Champion and the upcoming introduction of the second brand new catamaran, the Glory, mark smart investments in Greater Boston water transportation," said Ramírez. "The MBTA is pleased to welcome them into the fleet."
Built by Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, the Champion is a high-speed catamaran ferry with a 150-passenger capacity, supporting the MBTA's commuter boat service between the communities of Hull, Hingham, and Logan Airport in East Boston and Long Wharf in Boston. Gladding-Hearn also constructed the MBTA's current high speed ferries, the Lightning and the Flying Cloud, in 1996 and is a leader in constructing comfortable, fast vessels known for their speed and reliability. In addition to improving service reliability, the procurement of the Champion allows the MBTA to rely on its own vessels while also providing a spare ferry when MBTA-owned boats are periodically taken out of service for maintenance and Coast Guard inspections.
Including state-of-the-art flat screen passenger information systems, the Champion also features energy-efficient LED lighting, carpeted interior decks, tables and seating to accommodate 110 passengers and ADA wheelchair positions, a concession stand, and luggage racks.
Thirty-eight weekday trips operate between Hingham/Hull/Logan Airport and Boston with forty weekday trips on Friday only. Weekend service operates between Hingham/Hull/Logan Airport and Boston, with 32 Saturday trips and 28 Sunday trips from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day weekend. Service to George's Island is currently offered seasonally, with four weekday trips and nine weekend trips from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day weekend, as determined by the Boston Harbor Islands. The MBTA's ferry service has the highest rate of on-time performance—at nearly 98 percent—as well as the highest rating of customer satisfaction among all MBTA services.
The Champion is named to honor the legacy of Master Shipbuilder Donald McKay's Champion of the Seas clipper, which set a record for the fastest day's run in 24 hours in 1854. With the original Champion of the Seas designed in east Boston, the MBTA's new Champion honors this idea as the new ferry will service the same community. McKay also designed clippers named the Flying Cloud and the Lightning, which have also been used to name MBTA vessels. A second brand new catamaran ferry will be coming into service at the end of the year named Glory to continue honoring McKay's legacy and the design of his Glory of the Seas clipper. The cost of each new vessel is approximately $5.7 million per boat supported with federal funds.

Today in TV History: Elaine Couldn't Hide Her Disdain for 'The English Patient' on 'Seinfeld'
By Joe Reid Twitter @joereid Mar 13, 2017 at 12:00pm
photo: NBC
Of all the great things about television, the greatest is that it's on every single day. TV history is being made, day in and day out, in ways big and small. In an effort to better appreciate this history, we're taking a look back, every day, at one particular TV milestone.
IMPORTANT DATE IN TV HISTORY: March 13, 1997
PROGRAM ORIGINALLY AIRED ON THIS DATE: Seinfeld, "The English Patient" (Season 1, Episode 19) [Stream on Hulu]
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT: Unlike the typical great Seinfeld episodes, "The English Patient" doesn't really have any good subplots. Jerry engaging in a one-sided game of can-you-top-this with geriatric fitness maniac Izzy Mandelbaum features a fun performance by the great Lloyd Bridges, but George becoming obsessed with the George-like boyfriend of a beautiful woman (Kirk Cameron bride Chelsea Noble) is a bit of a dud. And the less said about Kramer trafficking in Dominicans for labor under the mistaken impression that they were Cubans (see, they're people but they're metaphors for cigars), the better.
But the main plot, the one that the episode title comes from, is such a keeper. Elaine is on a date with one of her rando men-of-the-week, and despite her clear preference for the idiot-looking Sack Lunch, they go to see The English Patient, which at that point was still a couple of weeks away from winning nine Oscars, including Best Picture. But despite all the hype, Elaine doesn't care for it. No … that's too mild. Elaine?
gif: seinfeldlessons.tumblr.com
Elaine's vocal displeasure with the movie everybody else is falling all over themselves to praise is a perfect Elaine storyline. She's great as the lone voice of sanity in a hostile world. Like when George got that awful hairpiece. With The English Patient, Elaine's plight also reflects that thing where everybody mandates that you like the popular piece of entertainment the same way that they do. (Ironically, Seinfeld was, and is, also one of those universally praised pieces of entertainment.)
Which isn't to say that The English Patient is a bad movie! It's actually a fantastic piece of epic movie-making. But watching Julia Louis-Dreyfus crawl out of her skin while trying to watch it, hissing "die already!" at the screen, is some of the funniest stuff in Seinfeld's latter seasons.

Az Anyone a svéd Roxette 1999. május 10-én megjelent második kislemeze hatodik Have a Nice Day című stúdióalbumukról. A dalt Burt Bacharach és Phil Spector ihlette, melynek album változatát a stockholmi Atlantis Stúdióban rögzítettek. Japánban a dal dupla A oldalas kislemezen jelent meg a "Pay the Price" című dallal együtt. Ehhez a dalhoz nem készült videoklip.

Az Anyone zenei videóját Jonas Åkerlund rendezte. A klip megjelenésekor az MTV Europe letiltotta a klip sugárzását a témája miatt, miszerint Marie Fredriksson öngyilkosságot próbál elkövetni azzal, hogy elmerül az óceánba. Ennek a negatív jelenségnek köszönhetően a dal a külföldi slágerlistákon csupán Top 30-as sláger lett, úgy mint Belgium, Lengyelország, Spanyolország, Svájc. Az európai slágerlisták eredményét látva az EMI UK kiadó nem jelentette meg a dalt az Egyesült Királyságban.

Összetétel

Az "Anyone" című dal zenéjét Per Gessle írta, akit Burt Bacharach inspirált. A dal eredeti demo felvétele egy 1961-es dal, az "I Love How You Love Me", melyet a The Paris Sisters nevű együttes készített, és ennek volt a producere Phil Spector. A demó verziót a kislemez B. oldalán jelentették meg, mely különbözik az eredeti demó változattól. Az eredeti "I Love How You Love Me" részt eltávolították a dalból. A dal felkerült a The Rox Box/Roxette 86-06 című válogatáslemezre, és bónuszként a 2009-es "Have a Nice Day" című újra kiadott lemezen is hallható.

A dalt 1998 szeptemberében rögzítették stockholmi Atlantis Stúdióban. Marie Fredriksson az egyik kedvenc dalának írta le a dalt, mely egy pop-ballada 143 BPM /perc tempóval. A dalt a rézfúvós hangszerek kivételével szinte teljes egészében rögzítették a stúdióban. Az alap akkor minden verse ismétlésekor az A- F♯m–C♯m – D – E sorozat, melyet a B – A – Fm – E további két ismétlése követ. A kórus két A – F♯m – E sorozatból áll , míg az áthidaló rész E – D – B – A – F♯m – D – B – E sorozatból áll.

Kiadások

A dalt 1999. május 10-én jelent meg kislemezen, melynek több B. oldalas kiadása is napvilágot látott. Az egyik maxi single kiadáson szerepelt az Abbey Road Stúdióban korábban rögzített 1995-ös "You Don't Understand Me" című dal, mely tartalmazza a Wish I Could Fly videóklipjét, valamint a "Cooper" című dal 'Closer to God Version' zenekari változatát. Japánban a kislemez dupla A oldalas kiadványként tartalmazta a "Pay the Price" című dalt, melyből nem készült videoklip. A dalhoz készült videoklipet Portugáliában forgatták, melyben Fredriksson öngyilkosságot követ el, és megfullad az óceánban. A dalt az MTV Europe és más zenei csatornák is letiltották, azonban készült egy szerkesztett klip is a dalból, melyet közepesen fogadták, ész az MTV Español zenecsatorna kezdte el játszani.

Sikerek

A dal mérsékelt siker volt az európai slágerlistákon. A lengyel és spanyol listán Top 25-ös helyezés volt. Belgiumban és Svájcban az első harmincban volt benne a listán. Svédországban a 35. helyig sikerült jutni, míg Németországban csupán a 62. helyig sikerült jutnia. A dal az EMI UK nem jelentette meg kislemezen, annak ellenére, hogy promóciós CD lemezeken terjesztették a dalt a rádióállomások és dj-k számára. Ennek ellenére Dél-Amerikában a dal spanyol változata az "Alguien" előkelő helyezés volt.

Megjelenések

Minden dalt Per Gessle írt, kivéve a "You Don't Understand Me" melyet Gessle ésDesmond Child írt.

#Video | Juliana Kanyomozi Releases J.Lo Looking Video
" 'I'm Still Here' is a song inspired by not only my life, but by a multitude of experiences and challenges in general as well as the human power to overcome and conquer the insurmountable! It's a song for everyone, it's a mirror for all of us'', says Uganda songstress Juliana Kanyomozi about her latest song.
After losing her son about 3 years ago, Kanyomozi is well placed to talk about deep pain and what it takes to overcome it.
After a 2 years hiatus, Juliana unveiled the visual of her uplifting pop/reggae kick, picking inspiration from Beyoncé's pageant scenes in "Pretty Hurts" and Ariana Grande soul cycling number on "Side to Side". What was a lot more obvious however was the cleaning and ironing housewife played by Jennifer Lopez on "Ain't Your Mama", which was almost identically reproduced by Kanyomozi in her video.
Fans weren't too fond of the copycat move and expressed their disappointment on social. Although they loved the song, and so do we, they asked for more originality from the diva.

All student-athletes must submit FHSAA paperwork each school year in order to be eligible to participate in athletics at FBA. Forms are valid for 365 days.
For assistance or questions regarding forms, please contact the Athletic Office at cmurphy@fbalions.org or239.597.2233 x 622.
A sport participation fee of $100/ ($125 football) per sport/per season, will be invoice via your RenWeb account.
FBA uses Immediate Postconcussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT), a computer-based evaluation for sports concussions. A pre-concussion ImPACT test helps establish a baseline cognitive functioning. This baseline can be compared to post-concussion testing if the athlete suffers a head injury later.
Why should athletes get baseline testing?
Comparing the pre- and post-concussion test scores can help determine when an athlete is ready to return to normal activities (athletes may not return to play until all concussions symptoms have subsided). ImPACT is one of many tools our doctors use for athletes with concussions. Before the season starts, an athlete can take the test to measure attention, visual memory, reaction time and more. This brief series of tests take about 30-45 minutes to complete. Parents receive a copy of the results.
When is the ImPACT offered?
The ImPACT is offered prior to the beginning of each season for any athlete that has not received a baseline. Athletes only have to take the assessment once in the two years they are here at FBA. There is no cost for the ImPACT test, and the test is administered by our Athletic Trainer.
Houston Christian uses Immediate Postconcussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT), a computer-based evaluation for sports concussions. A pre-concussion ImPACT test helps establish a baseline cognitive functioning. This baseline can be compared to post-concussion testing if the athlete suffers a head injury later.
The ImPACT is offered prior to the beginning of each season for any athlete that has not received a baseline. Athletes only have to take the assessment once in the two years they are here at Houston Christian. There is no cost for the ImPACT test, and the test is administered by our Athletic Trainer.
Over the summer several student-athletes plan to participate in FBA team workouts/practices, open gyms, camps, etc... In order to do so, you must be re enrolled as either a full time "traditional" student or a Home School Extension (HSE) Student at FBA. If you have not yet re enrolled and plan to be a part of some summer athletic team activity at FBA, please do so before the first start date of your summer sport participation. All of the required sports forms must be on file with the Athletic Office prior to participation; this includes joining summer athletic events. Just to reiterate, no student-athlete will be permitted to participate without the proper paperwork on file. All forms must be current. If you are unsure when your student-athletes athletic forms expire, please contact Cindy Murphy.
If you do not plan to participate in a summer activity but plan to join a team during the 2017-18 school year, you must have all of your sports paperwork in to the Athletic Office before the first official practice day of your sport.
If you have any questions or need assistance with any of the attached forms, please feel free to contact me.

Q: How to span single line into multiple lines in VS code? I have the following code written in nodeJS..
async function GetSellerInfoByID({seller_user_id})
{
    console.debug("Method : GetSellerInfoByID @user.service.js Calling...");
    await clientDB.connect();

    dataBaseData = await clientDB.query('select seller_profiles.user_id,seller_profiles.business_name,seller_profiles.status, buyer_profiles.first_name, images.image_url   buyer_profiles.last_name,  user_details.email from seller_profiles inner join user_details on user_details.user_id = seller_profiles.user_id left join address_books on address_books.id = seller_profiles.address_book_id left join phone_numbers on phone_numbers.id = seller_profiles.phone_number_id inner join buyer_profiles on  buyer_profiles.user_id = seller_profiles.user_id left join images on images.id = seller_profiles.business_logo_id where seller_profiles.user_id = $1', [seller_user_id,]);

    //dataBaseData = await clientDB.query('select * from user_auth_validation where user_username=$1', [username]);
    if(dataBaseData.rows.length > 0)
    {
        // dataBaseData.rows.forEach(element => {
            console.debug("data have.");
            //userID = element.user_id;
        // });
        // console.debug(dataBaseData.rows);
    }
    else
    {
        console.debug("Error in entered data, Please Check you Data Again.");
    }

    clientDB.end();
    return dataBaseData;
}

As you could see, my SQL query always wants to be in one line.
I wanted to be displayed as follows : (for readability)
dataBaseData = await clientDB.query('select  seller_profiles.user_id,seller_profiles.business_name,seller_profiles.status, buyer_profiles.first_name, images.image_url, buyer_profiles.last_name, user_details.email from seller_profiles
inner join user_details on user_details.user_id = seller_profiles.user_id left join address_books on address_books.id = seller_profiles.address_book_id
left join phone_numbers on phone_numbers.id = seller_profiles.phone_number_id
inner join buyer_profiles on  buyer_profiles.user_id = seller_profiles.user_id
left join images on images.id = seller_profiles.business_logo_id
where seller_profiles.user_id = $1', [seller_user_id,]);

How could I do that in VS code ?

A: You can use a code formatter extension (prettier) it will automatically reformat your code and make it readable, whenever you save your file.

A: I suggest you split it into substrings then concatenate as required.

24 inmates and 2 employees test positive for COVID-19 at Calhoun County Jail
Trace Christenson
Two dozen inmates and two employees have tested positive for COVID-19 in the Calhoun County jail.
Sheriff Steve Hinkley said Monday that staff discovered the virus when one inmate showed mild symptoms late last week. Others were tested and identified over the weekend.
The 24 inmates were in two jail pods or housing units primarily for detainees held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Hinkley said. The department is boarding 153 people for ICE, the Michigan Department of Corrections and the cities of Dearborn and Livonia.
The jail has a capacity of 660 inmates. The current population is 373 inmates, just over 56%.
Twenty-two of the inmates are not showing any symptoms and two have mild symptoms, Hinkley said. The two with symptoms are in the jail's medical unit, and the rest are quarantined in a separate housing unit. Anyone who came into close contact with those inmates also has been quarantined even if they haven't tested positive.
The two employees are self-quarantined at home, he said.
Until the outbreak, the jail had reported 11 cases since March, Hinkley said.
"Because of the 56 percent capacity, we have plenty of room for social distancing," he said. "We are also working with the health department to do contract tracing."
He said inmates are provided with masks and the jail is regularly cleaned throughout the day.
"When a positive case is identified, the cell and the housing unit is cleaned thoroughly, linens are cleaned by placing them in dissolvable bags and mattresses are sanitized." Hinkley said.
When the pandemic began, the jail initiated protocols that all incoming inmates were checked for symptoms and quarantined for two weeks before being placed in the general population.
He said officers from other departments arriving with inmates are not allowed into the jail and employees have been screened as they come to work each day.
This outbreak is the first large outbreak since the pandemic began, he said.

What documents must be filed in a US trademark application based on a Section 44(e) foreign registration?
/Trademark Registration /What documents must be filed in a US trademark application based on a Section 44(e) foreign registration?
What is a foreign registration filing basis?
An applicant for a U.S. trademark application based on a foreign registration under Section 44(e) must submit a copy of the foreign registration from the applicant's country of origin as well as an English translation of the foreign registration. Careful attention should be directed to the mark itself, namely, that the mark in the U.S. application matches the foreign registered mark. Also, the scope of the identification of goods and services cannot exceed that of the foreign registration.
What are the requirements for basing a US trademark application on a foreign registration?
Per TMEP Section 1004, here's a list of all the requirements for a Section 44(e) application:
(1) The applicant must be the owner of a valid registration in the applicant's country of origin. 15 U.S.C. §1126(c), (e). See TMEP §1002.01 and §1002.04 regarding country of origin.
(2) The applicant's country of origin must be a party to a treaty or agreement with the United States that provides for registration based on ownership of a foreign registration, or must extend reciprocal registration rights to nationals of the United States. 15 U.S.C. §1126(b); see TMEP §§1002.03, 1002.04, 1002.05.
(3) The applicant must submit a true copy, a photocopy, a certification, or a certified copy of the registration in the applicant's country of origin. 15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §1004.01.
(4) The applicant must provide a verified statement that the applicant has a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce. 15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(i). If the verified statement is not filed with the initial application, the verified statement must also allege that the applicant had a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce as of the application filing date. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(i).
(5) The scope of the identification covered by the §44(e) basis may not exceed the scope of the identification in the foreign registration. 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01(b).
Will a Statement of Use still be required?
In an Intent-To-Use trademark application that also includes a foreign registration filing basis under Section 44(e), the applicant may bypass the Statement of Use by deleting the Section 1(b) filing basis and relying solely on the foreign registration. However, the trademark owner should commence use in the US promptly after registration to avoid cancellation attacks based on abandonment or non-use.
Is a Section 44 US registration independent of the underlying foreign registration?
Yes, a US trademark registration based on Section 44 will exist independent of the underlying foreign registration [see TMEP 1015].
Can a Section 44(e) filing basis be added after initial filing?
Yes, an applicant can add a Section 44(e) foreign registration basis after the initial filing and before publication [see TMEP 806.03(g)]. When adding a Section 44(e) basis, the applicant must submit a copy of the foreign registration with the amendment, and an English translation if the foreign registration is in a non-English language.
In contrast, an applicant can add or substitute a Section 44(d) filing basis only within six months of the filing date of the foreign application.

One of the founding fathers of chemistry, Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) stumbled across photosynthesis, is credited with the discovery of oxygen and accidentally brought us soda water. He was also a member of BRLSI's predecessor, the Bath Philosophical Society.
2004 marked the two hundredth anniversary of the death of Joseph Priestley one of the most influential and colourful scientists of the eighteenth century. He had a Bath connection since he was a member of the Bath Philosophical Society, a forerunner of the BRLSI, when he lived and worked at Bowood House in Calne, Wiltshire. There he was the librarian and scientific guru for Lord Shelburne, the 1st Marquis of Lansdowne, and it was here that he first identified oxygen. It is for this discovery that he is best remembered today.
Priestley was born in Birstal Fieldhead near Leeds in 13th March 1733, the eldest son of a cloth-dresser. His mother died when he was seven years old and his aunt mainly brought him up. He was educated for the dissenting ministry and spent much of his life both as a teacher and a preacher. Priestley was a true polymath, writing books and articles on theology, history, education, aesthetics and politics as well as science. During his lifetime he was as well known for his views on theology and politics as for his work in science.
Priestley married Mary Wilkinson in 1762. She was the daughter of Isaac and sister to John and William Wilkinson. All three men were prominent iron masters in the eighteenth century.
His scientific interests began around the middle of the 1760s. It was during this time that he began to write his book History and Present State of Electricity. For this work he received the help from several people. These included Benjamin Franklin (The American academic, politician and scientist who was present at the signing of the American Declaration of Independence), William Watson (An apothecary who lived in Bath and was also a member of the Bath Philosophical Society; he was also a friend of William Herschel) and John Canton (Another scientist born in the West country at Stroud in Gloucester in whose honour the Institute of Physics recently erected a blue plaque on his schoolhouse in Stroud).
While writing the book he carried out several experiments. Among them was an ingenious demonstration of the inverse square law of electrostatics. This is generally known as Coulomb's law but the work of Priestley in fact predates that of Coulomb by nearly twenty years. Mainly as a result of his work on electricity, he was elected to Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1766.
In part as a result of financial problems stemming from his increasing family responsibilities, Priestley resigned a teaching position that he had to become the minister of Mill-Hill Chapel, which was a major Presbyterian congregation in Leeds. It was here that he completed History and Present State of Electricity (1767) and also wrote the History of Optics (1772). While living and working in Leeds he became a founder member of the Leeds Library, becoming both its Secretary and later President. In 1989 the Leeds Library was prominent in setting up the Association of Independent Libraries, to which the BRLSI also belongs.
The Leeds Library holds important archival material on Priestley's time there. It was while he was in Leeds that he began his most important scientific researches namely those connected with the nature and properties of gases. A bizarre consequence of this is that Priestley can claim to be the father of the soft drinks industry. He found a technique for dissolving carbon dioxide in water to produce a pleasant "fizzy" taste. Over a hundred years later Mr Bowler of Bath benefited from this when he formed his soft drinks industry.
Priestley entered the service of the Earl of Shelburne in 1773 and it was while he was in this service that he discovered oxygen. In a classic series of experiments he used his 12inch "burning lens" to heat up mercuric oxide and observed that a most remarkable gas was emitted. In his paper published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1775 he refers to the gas as follows: "this air is of exalted nature…A candle burned in this air with an amazing strength of flame; and a bit of red hot wood crackled and burned with a prodigious rapidity, exhibiting an appearance something like that of iron glowing with a white heat, and throwing sparks in all directions. But to complete the proof of the superior quality of this air, I introduced a mouse into it; and in a quantity in which, had it been common air, it would have died in about a quarter of an hour; it lived at two different times, a whole hour, and was taken out quite vigorous."
Although oxygen was his most important discovery, Priestley also described the isolation and identification of other gases such as ammonia, sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxide and nitrogen dioxide.
By 1780 the working relationship between Priestley and the Earl of Shelburne had cooled somewhat and he decided to move with his family to Birmingham, where he became preacher at the New Meeting House. This was one of the most liberal congregations in England. For Priestley his time at Birmingham was among the happiest in his life.
He soon became involved with the Lunar Society - a small group of academics, scientists and industrialists with wide ranging interests who were prominent in spearheading the Industrial Revolution in England. The Lunar Society was so named because its members met at full moon thereby facilitating travelling home in the dark after the meetings. Fellow members of the Lunar Society included Matthew Boulton, Erasmus Darwin (grandfather of Charles and also a pioneer in the theory of evolution), James Watt and Josiah Wedgwood.
Although Priestley played an active role in the Lunar Society his interests turned more and more towards theology. He became an active dissenter with outspoken criticism of the established church. These were dangerous times to be alive with the French Revolution (1789-91), which Priestley supported, sending shock waves around Europe. In 1791 on the second anniversary of the storming of the Bastille a "Church and King" mob in Birmingham destroyed the New Meeting House as well as Priestley's house and laboratory. He barely escaped with his life and most of his equipment and records were lost. Priestley briefly joined a dissenting group in London at Hackney but after renewed vitriol against him and his family he emigrated to the United States of America in 1794.
He was warmly welcomed in America and offered the chair of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, which had been founded by Benjamin Franklin. Priestley declined and settled in Northumberland, Pennsylvania in an area intended for British émigrés fleeing political persecution. He was befriended by Thomas Jefferson, who became President of the United States in 1800. However, Priestley's final years were sad and lonely; his favourite son died in 1795 and his wife a year later. He himself died on the 5th February 1804 aged seventy-one and is buried in Northumberland where his house has now been turned into a museum.
Priestley should be included in any pantheon of scientists. The bicentenary of his death is an opportune time to reassess his life and work and several events are planned during the year. He possessed enormous scientific skills and originality of thought as well as having the courage to promote unpopular views. He was a man of rare insight and talent.

If you're like us, you're always planning your next trip including how to afford it. These are great ways to save money for travel, no matter where you're going!
When I was planning to go on my first big trip, I was in the middle of my college degree going to school full time with one part-time job already. I knew I needed more cash, but I wasn't sure how to get it. I had just finished a semester in a course with an A+ so I messaged the teacher letting her know I really enjoyed her class last semester and would love to help tutor students who were struggling with the material. I asked her to mention that I was willing to help and give students my contact information during her classes and she did!
I charged $20 an hour to help kids study for exams and complete their homework assignments. I put all of this cash directly into a wine bottle that I could only get the money out by breaking (then I couldn't cheat by borrowing from it). I made $600 that semester just from helping people out and could work on my own homework while they solved problems!
I'm not sure about other countries, but in the United States, many big name banks run promotions where they will literally pay you to open an account with them. There are rules and conditions of course, but most times they're pretty feasible. I found that taking advantage of these promotions are an easy way to earn money for travel.
Once all the above conditions are met, the $200 USD will be deposited into your account! What an easy way to save money for travel?
Monthly phone plans are super expensive. What if I told you it's possible to get rid of your plan and give up your phone number without sacrificing your connectivity to people or the technology that you crave? I still use my phone nonstop–all day every day– for surfing the internet, browsing Facebook, watching Netflix, and writing blog posts. But it's been over 2 years since I've had a phone number or a monthly phone plan.
We live in an age where technology and messaging apps have made it possible to have phone conversations with people without needing a phone number. So why are you still paying for one?
While at home, you can use your phone like you always do to access apps and the internet by connecting to your home internet WiFi.
For texting friends, use Facebook Messenger or any other messaging app to text instead of your phone's built-in texting.
For phone calls to family or friends, use Facebook Messenger to make phone calls.
While away from home (with no access to your home WiFi), you can connect to public WiFi spots and then use your phone's internet and apps just like you normally do.
Business calls are a little bit trickier — If you need to call a place of business, schedule a doctor appointment, or maybe just phone a friend who doesn't have Facebook Messenger installed, you won't be able to rely on any messaging apps to place phone calls.
You can get a free phone number through Google Voice, and then you can use that to place phone calls directly to any phone number from within the Google Voice app. I used this method a few years ago when I couldn't afford a phone plan at all.
I need to place phone calls so rarely that I no longer use Google Voice (I barely ever used it). Instead, I now just borrow my boyfriend's phone anytime I need to make a business call. He lives with me and has not given up his phone plan, so it's easy to wait until a time when we are both at home to briefly borrow his phone for a quick call.
If you have your own office or work for a company that will allow you to make an occasional personal phone call, you can use your place of employment to make important calls that can't be made through Facebook Messenger.
If you need to place an emergency phone call (like 911 here in the United States), your phone will still allow you to place the call even if you have canceled your phone plan and no longer have a phone number. You won't have to worry about the dangers of being stuck somewhere in an emergency without the ability to call the police or an ambulance.
You'll be surprised how quickly you adjust to a life without a phone plan (or phone bill), and the speed at which you can save money for travel will quickly make up for it!
If you're looking to earn a bit of extra money, look on the boards by your local university for studies looking for participants. If you're healthy, you're likely to qualify for many studies that require volunteers to serve as the control in the experiment. More invasive procedures are likely to pay more, however, if you have just an hour, you're likely to earn $20 (or more) from sitting in a room following the instructions. For one study that I did, I was served lunch and given a newspaper to read over the course of an hour while getting paid $20 per hour.
Studies that require monitoring are likely to pay better, so if you're open to returning the university once in a while, you're likely to reap the benefits. My husband earned over $1,000 for a study that simply required him to drive his car with a monitoring device installed inside.
If you're looking to make a few extra bucks and save money for travel, you can find almost unlimited opportunities to do so with people interested in learning your language. If your native language is English (or you feel comfortable teaching it), this is easy as it's one of the most needed languages for non-English speakers.
While you can find all sorts of places to teach your language, I suggest Italki because not only is it the most well-known by far, but the website also allows you to clarify if you have teaching experience or not. This is great for us travelers because not only do we not need any type of experience or certifications, but you can meet students from all over the world and learn about their cultures. Language learners search for "community tutors" when they're interested in simply practicing the language, as opposed to having a formal lesson, so native speakers are welcome.
If you are a native speaker or fluent in another language that is not local to your area, you can also advertise in the local library, Craigslist, Facebook, etc. In this case, when you aren't so directly compared to other people teaching the same language, you can also charge more for an in-person meeting.
I'm not sure how things work in different countries, but I found that pet sitting is one of the best ways to save for a trip. I stumbled across the idea a long while back when I met a couple of really cool entrepreneurs in the Netherlands. While they kept talking about dogs, it made me realize just how few facilities are available for cats in the neighborhood where I stay. That's when I started cat boarding.
There are numerous spin-offs of this idea. You could think of dog walking or maybe pet sitting where you look after the pet in its own home. Or you could set up a safe environment in yours. One of the biggest advantages of looking after other people's pets is that you get a chance to know them better and you know who you can trust with your own. The next step is swapping itineraries and holiday schedules so that your baby (don't judge, my cat is my baby!) has a safe home where he/she is loved. It goes a long way to saving money and giving you peace of mind when you are on the move.
There is one thing that you need to keep in mind and that is safety. Ensure that you know where the local vet is and have an emergency contact number. Also, ensure that your house is cat/ dog proofed and that all potentially hazardous/poisonous objects are out of reach.
Over the past two years, I have been able to travel more, even though my income is the same, and I have a full-time job. How do I do it?
Instead of always focusing on taking a week-long trip, I plan trips on long weekends, and on regular weekends as well. Obviously only being gone a few days saves on expenses for hotel, eating, and fun money.
My second money saving tip for traveling is instead of always traveling alone, with your significant other or immediate family; go with a friend or extended family member. I often travel with my gal pals. You save a lot of money when you only have to pay for half of the accommodations.
Sometimes you can even save on the airfare too, by booking an all in one vacation package with your friend. I use cheaptickets.com to plan most trips with my friends. It isn't the answer every time but certainly has worked well on several trips so far.

I have never thought of not having a phone number. That's very interesting and a different approach to save money. Glad you are able to make it work. Wonderful tips.
I know that is a really great tip that so many people overlook. Thanks for reading and good luck saving money.
Yes! Definitely check them out Valentina.
Thanks for these helpful tips! Save money is an art form, a challenge, and adventure!
It definitely is all of those things!
That's a bummer, but hopefully there are some other ways to save money!
You'll have to look into it Nafisa!
Pet sitting is one of the easiest money makers! People are so obsessed with their furbabies and they want quality people to watch and are willing to pay $$. I wish I had gigs like I did when I lived in Savannah for college!
Yes! We hire one every time we go away and she is a lifesaver for us!
I feel like these money saving posts typically recycle the same concepts but I loved how many fresh ideas there were here! I never would've thought of giving up my phone number but you made a great case for why it isn't necessary (and come to think of it, I didn't have a phone number all of last year when I was traveling the world full-time).
We're glad we could offer some fresh new ideas to save money!
Last year I picked up a HUGE freelance writing job right before my summer holiday. It meant I spent the last half of May and most of June glued to my computer, but it paid for some pretty major splurges on the trip I'd already booked, including two nights at the Adlon Hotel in Berlin (they have an option on their breakfast menu that costs €685!).
WOW! That's amazing Carly. Great work. We hope you enjoyed those fun splurges!
Great tips for saving money while travelling. I will surely follow some of them to save some extra bucks while travelling. thanks FTB for sharing a great article.
We're glad we could help you find some new ways to save money for your travels.
Few nice tips here. In fact, my kids will LOVE PET SITTING /PET BOARDING idea. I wish there were more such opportunities in India.
Look around for small communities offering those services near you. Folks always need pet boarding options and create communities just for the purpose.
Some really creative ideas here. I had not heard of Italki before so I am going to have to look into that. It's always nice to have some extra spending money for travel.
I know having some extra cash to treat yourself is worth using these creative ways to save money for your travels.
Often times you are able to make your own schedule or just pick up shifts when you have the time! It is a great way to save money for travel.
Good ideas! I've been thinking of ways to add to my travel fund! I'll have to try some of these!
We can't wait to see where you save up to travel to.
We got rid of our home phone number about a year ago, and only use our cell phones. Hubs gets his free from work, and I have a monthly $35 prepaid plan. I never thought of doing some tutoring, so that is something I am definitely going to look into!
That is a great way to save money while traveling and we should add it to the list. Tutoring is a great way to add some extra spending money to your travels.


When copying tags from one way to another the tags from the source ways nodes are incorrectly merged too (tested against current git master).
For example if you have a highway=residential way with a highway=turning_circle on the end node you end up with highway=residential;turning_circle on the target way.
Find or create a road with the tag highway=residential.
Actual result The new way gets the tag "highway=residential;turning_circle"
Expected result The new way gets the tag "highway=residential"
I disabled the resolution for the previous bug (relation -> way) but I can't remember why.


From charming cottages to luxury oceanfront resorts, there are countless places to spend the perfect Hawaiian vacation, and while these locations are all.Affectionately known as the First Lady of Waikiki, the Moana Surfrider opened in 1901.
The first time I ever went to Afternoon Tea was almost 13 years ago. See views of Diamond Head and the stage area overlooking the Banyan Courtyard where Hawaii Calls radio show was recorded live over 40 years ago.
All Moana Masters Cooking Class ticket sales are final and non-refundable. The resort is in the heart of all activities, cultural explorations and beach.Really relaxing and romantic place to sit, drink, settle down, and people watch.The Moana Surfrider is located on Kalakaua Avenue, across the street from the International Marketplace, a 5-minute walk to the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, 9 miles from Honolulu International Airport, 4 miles to downtown Honolulu and 12 miles to Pearl Harbor.
Formerly called The Moana Hotel she became the first hotel in the Hawaiian Islands upon welcoming her first guests on March 11 of that year.Step back into yesteryear with all the contemporary amenities and unique services to make your Hawaii vacation memorable. Wealthy Honolulu landowner, Walter Chamberlain Peacock, incorporated the Moana Hotel Company in 1896 in an effort to establish a luxury hotel in a deserted area of Waikiki.
Pieces of history from Waikiki and the Moana Surfrider are housed in beautiful wood cases throughout the hotel.
I absolutely adore everything about this recent wedding we photographed at the Moana Surfrider Hotel on Waikiki Beach.Management dashboard, analytics reports, visitor information and geographic location.
The day before my wedding, my maid of honor and another friend treated me to Afternoon Tea at the Moana Surfrider, and I had such a lovely time. The view and atmosphere at the Banyan Court is the quintessential Hawaiian vacation experience.

BAMAKO: Suspected Islamist militants killed at least 16 Tuareg civilians in attacks in northern Mali, just days after 40 Tuaregs were killed during similar raids on neighboring villages, local authorities said on Wednesday.
The attacks occurred on Tuesday in the village of Tindibawen, 160 km (100 miles) east of the town of Menaka near the border with Niger, and in a nearby village, Menaka Mayor Nanout Kotia told Reuters.
Local lawmaker Bajan Ag Hamatou said 16 Tuareg civilians had been killed in the attack. The MSA-GATIA, a Tuareg militia coalition in northern Mali, said jihadists had executed 17 civilians, including elderly people burnt alive in their homes.
"Most of those killed belong to the Imghad group, which is the ethnicity of the majority of GATIA fighters," said Kotia.
Violence has escalated in recent months as jihadist groups, once confined to the remote north of the west African state, have exploited ethnic tensions to recruit Fulani herders and extend their presence farther south.
Black Fulani herders have come into conflict with mostly lighter-skinned Tuareg pastoralists over access to scarce water points. Some have joined the ranks of Islamic State's local affiliate, which is active in the Menaka region.
The rising violence has cast doubt on the feasibility of elections scheduled for the end of July, in which President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita is expected to seek a second term.
The Fulani community along the Mali-Niger border has also accused Tuareg militia of committing executions. Last week Fulani leaders said MSA-GATIA had summarily executed or arbitrarily arrested scores of young Fulani between March 30 and April 7.
MSA-GATIA says it only targets armed militants and never civilians. French forces in Mali, who cooperate with MSA-GATIA to battle the jihadists, also say they are not aware of executions committed by the militia.

SoundCloud's losses grew faster than its revenues in 2015 - with the company now admitting that, should its subscription service flop, its funding may run dry this year.
According to a new filing at Companies House (UK), SoundCloud Ltd's revenues grew 21.6% to €21.1 million ($22 million, £18 million) in 2015 - but its net losses accelerated 30.9% to €51.22 million ($52 million, £42 million).
Despite these worries, it's still a lucrative place to work.
SoundCloud's headcount grew by 25% in 2015, up from 236 to 295 people. It spent €26.77 million ($28 million, £23 million) on wages and salaries in the year - up 49% year-on-year.
That meant the average annual salary at the company hit €90,729 ($95,000, £77,000) in 2015 - up 19% on the €75,979 ($80,000, £65,000) average wage paid out to staff in 2014.
"The assumption of a successful launch of the new subscription service is the key element of [our] financial projections for the next three years… [This] bears financial risks regarding the operating results and cash flows of the group.
"The occurrence of these risks can seriously affect the ability of the group to generate sufficient cash to cover the planned expenditures and could require the Group to raise additional funds which have not yet been agreed.
"Whilst the directors believe that the Group will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities through 31 December 2017, the risks and uncertainties may cause the company to run out of cash earlier than that date, and would require the Group to raise additional funds which are not currently planned.
"These matters give rise to a material uncertainty about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern."
SoundCloud launched its $9.99-per-month subscription service, SoundCloud Go, in the US, UK and Germany last year.
According to its filings, SoundCloud finished 2015 with €12.45m cash in the bank and a €13.2m net cash position.
Earlier this week, MBW noted that it was hearing high-level rumors that Google was mulling an acquisition of SoundCloud following Spotify's decision to walk away from a potential deal.
We also confirmed that the three major music companies - Universal, Sony and Warner - all own stakes in SoundCloud Ltd.


The root-verb דקר (daqar) means to pierce or thrust through, always of human beings and usually with the result of death (Judges 9:54, 1 Samuel 31:4, Isaiah 13:15), but sometimes leaving the person alive and badly wounded (Jeremiah 37:10).
The instrument mostly associated to this verb is the sword, but in Numbers 25:8, Phinehas runs Zimri and Cozbi through with a spear. In Lamentations 4:9, Jeremiah observes that it is better to be pierced with a sword than with hunger. Via prophet Zechariah, YHWH famously foretells that the house of David would look mournfully on Him who they would have pierced (Zechariah 12:10).
This verb comes with one derivative, namely the feminine noun מדקרה (madqara), meaning a piercing. It occurs only once, in Proverbs 12:18, where thoughtless speech is equated with the piercing of a sword.

A public information blitz has been launched in Ireland urging everyone to contact their doctor and receive the H1N1 vaccine PA
An Irish government-sponsored report has revealed that Irish medical professional and teacher salaries are among some of the highest in the world. The report was focused on the costs of doing business in Ireland by the National Competitiveness Council.
Irish elementary school teachers are among the highest paid in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The report also found that health specialists in Ireland, on average, earn $225,000.
The report cleared stated "Irish health specialists receive the highest average salary of the group for which data is available."
Findings for the salaries for nurses are similar. Irish nurses earn more than their counterparts except for those in Luxembourg, Norway and Liechtenstein.
Doctors in Ireland earn four times as much as their counterparts in Greece and Portugal and twice as much as those in Germany, Finland and Norway.
The troubled Irish Health Service Executive spends most of its annual budget on these high salaries and less on medical supplies or equipment.
Elementary school teachers in Ireland are also paid 15 percent above the average of the 24 countries in the OECD. Teachers with 15 years experience or more are paid the second highest, second to Luxembourg.

Doing it Right: The Life of a Hockey Wife WENDY TIPPETT
There are times in our lives when a recharge is desperately needed whether or not you know it. Humans must realign themselves of the reality of their life and revisit what was staked as important and valued. This month's hockey wife did this for me. I did not ask her to do this, nor do I believe that this was her intention. She simply told me her story. I was one of those who was unaware that I even needed this friendly reminder. Just by being her true authentic self, she helped me reset and revisit my intention of my daily existence as a wife, mother, and friend. Wendy Tippett. Thank you.
Hockey wife veteran Wendy Tippett is a woman of faith, tenacity, authenticity, and joy. She both exudes it and creates it in the world she keeps. Married to former NHLer and now head coach of the Arizona Coyotes Dave Tippett, she has seen her share of what the hockey world brings and shines light upon a world that many misunderstand. Wendy understands what it is like to have a dream and although she cradles and chases her own dreams and aspirations, she equally scaffolds the dreams of her husband and children as well. They've got it figured out. And oh, for goodness sake, she's doing it right! This is the life of a hockey wife, Wendy Tippett.
"Meant to be" is right
"You're meant to be together!" a friend suggested to Wendy in Grand Forks, ND. Freshman, Wendy thought nothing of it as her studies were of the utmost importance in her first year at the University of North Dakota. Their paths didn't cross for some time. It wasn't until there was a party to celebrate the school's National Hockey championship that her arm was twisted to attend the party, in hopes that this would be the prime time to talk to her 'meant to be' person. And what better time to talk to a guy after coming off a national championship. Insert Dave Tippett. "He made me laugh, and that low voice…well I loved it!" As the love story goes, they were inseparable. Knowing this was the real deal, Dave and Wendy were engaged a year later and soon married in Bismarck, North Dakota just following the 1984 Olympics. Shortly after, a young Dave Tippett was signed to the Whalers. In a blink of an eye, a hockey wife was born.
Growing up in both Minnesota and North Dakota, being a hockey fan was a given regardless if you liked it or not. Hockey was a persistent passive presence in her life. Wendy didn't know much of the game but it was instilled in her throughout her adolescence and young adulthood. Wendy tells me that she doesn't remember ever watching a game but she knew that she was a North Stars fan. "I was a hockey cheerleader in high school but that was just to skate for free! I think God was preparing me for a life of hockey". She surprises herself with all of the hockey knowledge she knows now. Hockey certainly becomes a live and breathe type of lifestyle…even halloween has seen the influence of the game.
Family is everything to the Tippett's. Wendy and Dave are proud parents of their two daughters, Nicole and Natalie. Wendy is a woman who is extremely proud of her family and was nothing short of gushing as she shared about her girls and their husbands {Tim and Hoyt}. You wouldn't believe it by looking at her but Wendy is a grandma! Her daughter Nicole and hubby Tim have the sweetest boys. The Tippets have the most genuine connection with their family you would never guess that they are all spread across the U.S.. Following in her mom's footsteps, Nicole is a real estate mogul in Washington and Natalie is rocking it out in L.A. as a costume designer. "Our girls are very hard workers and have had jobs since they were 15. We believe in work ethic, but probably should have taught them to play a little more."
Wendy, too is a mogul of her own. She has made a name for herself in the real estate world selling, staging, and finding luxury homes in the Scottsdale, AZ area for Silverleaf Real Estate. Her success has sky-rocketed in her 11 year venture. As a hockey wife, whether you are a players wife or coaches wife, having a career is often a variable that must exist with fluidity. Meaning…it's got to be transferable or you have to be down with starting over because a trade or termination can happen at any time and you can be uprooted. Her love of real estate grew from early in Dave's playing career when "hockey wasn't that lucrative", Wendy recalls. Since players have the summer's off the newlyweds decided that they "would flip a house every summer before there was such a thing as "flipping." But it wasn't until after years of flipping homes that Wendy realized that she was in love with the process and wanted to take it a step further. When the NHL initiated the lock out, Dave and Wendy were in Dallas at the time and they decided that, "Dave could be Mr. Mom for a bit while I went back to school."
Supporting each others dreams
I believe that women need to have their own sense of purpose and drive. When I asked Wendy how important that was for her as a hockey wife, in certainty she confesses, "I see so many talented, amazing women lose themselves in their husband's career and that leads to sadness and broken marriages! I always said that no one is going to put my name on the Cup no matter how supportive I was! Dave always said 'whatever makes you happy-do it!'" Wendy always worked part-time wherever they were just to keep her foot in the door. She did this in conjunction with staying at home with her kids. She has been a waitress, sold gym memberships, a personal trainer…you name it! She loves her career and does admit that it's not easy to start over. But her success can be attributed to that drive she has, being knowledgeable and confident and having a good client base. Part of her "good client base" is that of professional athletes. It takes a certain type of realtor to understand those special needs of athletes , "I understand their needs in a way that other realtors can't. I understand the need for quick resale and how important it is to give good advice on that." Most of the time it is the players agent or wife who are viewing the homes alone. "I know where their teammates live and that living close to them will be helpful. I know the stress that comes with sports and how to manage that time to minimize stress." Wendy is the perfect person for the job. She has the perfect combination of confidence and empathy in her cause. She's got the "IT" factor.
Aside from selling homes of champagne wishes and caviar dreams Wendy also has a special place in her heart for her faith. Every week she dedicates herself to a group of teenage girls at her church. She is recharged when she is putting her goodness back into the world. Over her 34 years as a hockey wife it has always been important to her to give back and to be active for charities and special interest groups. Her heart has a gravitational pull towards charities supporting children's cancer. Wendy's recipe to make it all work? Perseverance, controlling your emotions, and a good attitude.
Hockey Talk
Of course trades are difficult and stressful, but they can also be refreshing and give players, coaches, and families a sense of renewal. Over the duration of writing about hockey wives and getting to know each of them on a personal level, each have their own way of dealing with relocation. Some go with their husbands, some stay in their "homes", some commute on a regular basis. There are a series of factors that contribute to that decision. Wendy and Dave have been on 8 professional teams : Hartford, Washington, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Houston, L.A., Dallas, and Arizona. This dynamic duo recognizes that it can be difficult on families and opted to stay to move with each other on every adventure. Wendy's thoughts on dividing coordinates? "Never-nor would I suggest it if at all possible. I have seen a lot of broken relationships result from separation. Even when I was 8 months pregnant and we got traded, I packed up my three year old and delivered in the new city 3 weeks later." Family first. Even though she doesn't hesitate to pack up and go with her hubby, Wendy admits that she misses the friends and places she grows attached to, there is a little wanderluster in her that gets excitable about exploring new places and meeting new faces.
When Wendy's hubby decided to hang up his skates for his bench boss status, it came as a surprise. "Well it was a shock…because he went to training camp and came home and said "My body is done. They offered me a chance to be an assistant coach" And so the next day he was a coach." I wonder about this transitional point in a hockey players career, but I also wondered how it changed the dynamic of the wife as well. When my husband was a player, I was friends with all the other players girlfriends and it was basically like all my friends were gift wrapped and handed to me. But when he changed in the ranks, I found that this wasn't the case. It doesn't quite work that way in junior hockey. But I think that anyone or any organization that is graced by Wendy Tippett on their 'roster' is a lucky one. She doesn't have it in her to create a divide. Kodette LaBarbera's husband Jason LaBarbera played for Dave Tippett for 4 year in Arizona and had this to say about Wendy and her coaches wife ways:
"Wendy is hands down the best coaches wife I have ever met! We were in Phoenix with
them for 4 years andI am so happy I got the opportunity to know her. Wendy goes above
and beyond to make sure girls and families are ok-from making you dinner, to picking
up your kids from school, to helping out with charity work. You know you can always
count on her. She is a little fire cracker who will always make me laugh. She is loyal and
I am beyond proud to call her my friend."
Wendy's inclusive personality was also witnessed nationwide as she, along with Kodette, graced the screen on the W Network's HOCKEY WIVES, a documentary style show following NHL wives in their daily grind as wives, mothers, and charitable beings. Wendy was approached by Brijet Whitney, wife of Ray Whitney, who was also on the show and she joined as a late addition. Because Wendy has such a busy schedule she wasn't on the show too often but enough to making a last impression. Hubby Tippett wasn't entirely comfortable with the idea of his wife glorifying hockey wife life, but stuck to his motto of 'do what makes you happy'. "Dave is always fine with anything I want to do – he realized that his job takes opportunities from me, so if they can ever help me…go for it!" Wendy feels that the show did a good job on portraying the wives fairly and would welcome the chance to be on the show again if they filmed in Arizona. In the meantime, homegirl is too busy killing it in the real estate world to commit fully to the show.

Balance is key. Combining Wendy's hectic schedule with that of an NHL calendar takes some juggling, accommodating, and patience to make it all come together successfully. So Wendy, inquiring minds want-need to know…what is the secret? "I think communication is everything. We talk-text-email so many times a day. I think being very respectful of how hard they work and {being very aware of} the ups and downs of coaching is important. We are their biggest cheerleaders and in my eyes he can do no wrong…Let the world tear him down but I will always build him up."
"Communication, support, and love" Three words to describe making it work
Long time friend, supporter, and
fellow HW Tanya Lamb
A hockey family is one that is unlike any other. There is an understanding, a sisterhood, and empathetic ear that knows how you are feeling no matter what position you are in the standings, what climate you live in, or what emblem resides on your chest. For most good-hearted people there is no divide between coaches wives and players wives. There is no talk of what the player did or who the coach short shifted. It's the amalgamation of common ground. United by the game, but connected by the spirit. In Wendy's case, her transition from players wife to coaches wife should prove that there is no need for a divide. "It was different because Dave was coaching his teammates and their wives were already my friends." There was no grey area of whether or not to become friends. Proof that segregation of 'rank' need not to exist.
Gratitude fills my heart as Wendy didn't hesitate to share her story, her truth, her reality with me and allowed me to share it with the world. She understands that passion in your life gives you value and purpose and she helped this hockey wife {moi} exercise her passion to write and reach out to make a new friend in this hockey wife life. This is The Life of a Hockey Wife and Wendy Tippett, you are DOING IT RIGHT.

Analysis:: Kamala Harris, known for caution, finds a risky move pays off against Joe Biden
California Sen. Kamala Harris has sharp words for former Vice President Joe Biden on the issue of busing during the debate Thursday.
By David Lauter,
Melanie Mason
Reporting from Miami —
For weeks, supporters of Sen. Kamala Harris had pointed to the first Democratic debate as the opportunity to break out of her campaign doldrums.
What no one said — and few would have predicted — was that she would do so by taking on the candidate at center stage, former Vice President Joe Biden, upbraiding him for his opposition to busing for school integration and his nostalgic reminiscences about his relationships with segregationist senators early in his career.
"I do not believe you are a racist," Harris began, turning to face Biden. But, she added, "it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country.
"And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was a part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me."
Biden, sputtering in response, declared Harris' accusation "a mischaracterization of my position across the board." He rattled off civil rights measures he had supported in his long career as a senator and tried to defend his opposition to busing during the 1970s and 1980s.
"I did not oppose busing in America. What I opposed is busing ordered by the Department of Education," he said, reprising the states'-rights position that he, as a senator from a border state with a history of segregation, had taken decades earlier.
Harris shot back: "That's where the federal government must step in, that's why we have the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act … because there are moments in history where states fail to preserve the civil rights of all people."
The ambush seemed carefully planned. Harris' campaign aides were armed with photos of the candidate as a little girl, which they tweeted out moments after the clash. It was a surprising risk for Harris, a candidate often described as cautious to a fault. But it provided the capstone for a debate performance that showcased her strengths.
One of the chief applause lines in Harris' stump speech has been her pledge to "prosecute the case against four more years of Donald Trump," as she put it in her closing statement Thursday night.
Harris gained national attention over the last couple of years by virtue of her prosecutor's instinct and the verbal dexterity that she displayed cross-examining administration officials in Senate hearings. Her willingness to confront Biden — and ability to throw him off balance — could remind many Democrats of what they hope she could do to Trump in a general election.
And the fact that the clash turned on an issue of race highlighted her status as the only black candidate on Thursday's stage, an important point not only for many African Americans but also for white voters who want the party to stand for diversity.
The confrontation provided "one of the most, if not the most, powerful moments of the day," said James P. Manley, a longtime Democratic strategist and former senior Senate aide who is not working for any of the candidates. "It was incredibly effective, and I'm confident she's going to get a boost out of it.
"This is clearly an issue that's not going to go away any time soon, especially when he invokes states' rights," Manley added, referring to Biden. "He still has to do a better job of demonstrating that the Senate has changed and the world has changed, and that he understands."

Biden's deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, told reporters afterward that his campaign was "satisfied with the outcome of the debate."
"He's the front-runner. People were going to take swings at him, trying to create a moment, trying to score points. It's a debate. We understand that," she said. "He listened respectfully. She told her story very powerfully. But he was clear that he was not going to engage."
The exchange did not hurt Biden's standing, she insisted. "I think people saw him listening intently and honestly to a very powerful story from Sen. Harris."
Whether that is so won't be known for several days as pollsters gauge voter reaction. But unlike general elections, in which debates seldom have a lasting effect on candidate standings, primaries can often feature rapid ups and downs.

None of the other candidates in either of the debate's two nights went after Biden in any sustained way. Harris' decision to do so could backfire: With a multi-candidate field, voters sometimes respond to attacks by turning away from both the attacker and the target and moving toward a neutral party, longtime Democratic strategist Bill Carrick said.
"Are there risks involved? Of course there are," he said. "But she has to take a risk. She's not going to win if she doesn't."
Indeed, the move to go on offense came at a crucial point for Harris. She entered the 2020 race with a roar, drawing a 20,000-plus crowd at her kickoff rally in Oakland and garnering flattering media attention. But as the campaign progressed, Harris' bid has not. She has been mired in the single digits in recent polls, stuck in fourth place even in her home state.

At the same time, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has captured the buzz among the progressive left, while Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., has wowed coastal donors who make up the core of Harris' fundraising base.
A central problem for Harris has been Biden's strength among black voters, nationally and in states with early primaries, notably South Carolina. That support has provided a major part of the former vice president's lead in polls throughout the spring. It also has blocked Harris' path, which depends on winning over those same voters.
Until Thursday, some in Harris' camp seemed content to wait for Biden to lose altitude on his own rather than try to play an active role in bringing him down.
The shift to a more aggressive path came after Harris spent days preparing for the debate, first in Washington and then in Miami. She arrived in Florida on Sunday and spent three days largely in debate prep. Thursday, a campaign aide said, she took a spin class to clear her head.
Harris' advisors had built up the debate as a potential turning point — raising expectations to a degree that worried some in her campaign.
"Get ready for @KamalaHarris to dominate the stage as she makes her case to be the next POTUS in the upcoming democratic debate," the senator's sister and advisor Maya Harris wrote on Twitter two weeks ago.
The back-and-forth between Harris and Biden definitely dominated attention. The two took more speaking time than any of the other candidates, and Harris' name quickly became the top search term Thursday evening on Google.
As the candidate and her top advisors took a victory lap through the post-debate spin room, Harris made clear passivity would not win the race.
"This election will be given to no one," she said to NBC. "She who wins will have to earn it."

Pakistani truck art bus benches in Washington DC
An otherwise non-descript street in a residential Northeast DC neighborhood, has been livened by the installation of two new benches. Thanks to a grant by the Awesome Foundation and painter Haider Ali, the bright benches are a welcoming contrast with the greys, whites, and browns of the street, houses, and bricks found on Michigan Avenue NE. The benches themselves are comfortable and much different than the government-installed bus benches that are sit feet away. Those benches, barely large enough to allow riders to rest more than a few inches of their body, are possibly an example of deliberately inconvenient public design to discourage extended use. The Pakistani truck art-styled benches have ample space for two people to comfortably sit and enjoy Haider's colors and details.
Each bench has its own character and set of colors, yet both have traditional truck art motifs, adapted slightly for the US. One bench has the Pakistani and American flags, along with a majestic peacock that covers the length of the bench. The other bench is centered around an eagle, another common motif, and topped by women's eyes. Unlike the rest of the work which is painted with acrylics, the eyes are printed stickers.
Just how popular is Justin Trudeau in truck art?
The picture of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has gone viral multiple times. But it's unlikely that is ever appeared on a truck, in Pakistan or elsewhere.
Portraits of politicians, generals, and sports stars are not unusual on Pakistani trucks. They're almost always found on the rear of the vehicle, where there's the most space available and usually less religious imagery. Its not common, but not unheard of, to see non-Pakistanis featured. During the first Gulf War, Saddam Hussein was a popular subject, as was Princess Diana following her death.
Trudeau is good looking, young, and soft-spoken. In many respects, he's the opposite of Trump. Although there's a large Pakistani population in Canada and Trudeau has made efforts at outreach, he's far from the most prominent world leader. That he's not the most likely person to be featured on a Pakistani truck makes the painting all the more noteworthy. This picture has gone viral and replicated thousands of times, but there's no evidence that it ever appeared on a truck. I've been told that it was commissioned specifically to hang as a picture, not on a vehicle.
While its a beautiful piece, the picture of Trudeau never appeared on a truck. It was first posted by a Twitter user @jawadhq13 on January 28, 2016. It was widely circulated, even making its way to a Pakistan Day reception hosted by the High Commission in Canada in March of that year. About a year later, it suddenly generated more attention, including coverage by French media, several Pakistani outlets that apparently missed it in 2016, and even Russia Today. All media used the same image in their reporting.
Hopefully Trudeau in truck art will spark media attention again, with another image, on an actual truck.
