What's in My 401(k): have you asked yourself these 5 questions?
Do you own a 401(k)? Well be sure to know the answer to these 5 questions.
A few weeks ago, we discussed the 5 ways young professionals can get started with retirement. Well, one of the best ways to begin your retirement planning is to contribute to a 401(K) plan.
Known for its origins in 1978, Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code initially provided employees an opportunity to defer bonus or stock option related compensation. In 1981, the IRS passed rules allowing employees to contribute to 401(k)'s through salary and other related deductions.
As of Q1 2018, total assets in 401(k) plans totaled $5.3 Trillion in assets. However, the average balance per 401(k) is relatively alarming by age. For example, on average individuals from ages 30-39 had a balance of only $38,400. That's alarming considering conventional wisdom suggests having $1.5 to $2 million to retire. The confusion and uncertainty surrounding 401(k)'s may account for hesitation on our part to contribute to our 401(k) plans.
1) Am I eligible to contribute?
The first step to establishing a 401(k) account is to verify your eligibility. Companies generally establish an age (21 and over) and service period (one year) in order for the employees to participate. Requirements can be more or less stringent depending on the plan, so reviewing the Summary Plan Description (SPD) or asking HR can be crucial.
2) What does my employer match?
The Summary Plan Description generally describes the employer match percentage. Additionally, this information is included on your company's HR portal; sometimes, employer match can be a discretionary percentage depending on your company's performance.
Consider that your company offers a match of 50% of your contributions up to 6% of your total salary. Assuming an annual salary of $50,000 and an employer contribution rate of 6%, the employer would match $1,500. How does that work? Take 6% of $50,000 and reduce it by half since the employer only matches 50%. Therefore, your 401(k) balance at the end of the year would be $4,500, leading to our next question.
3) Do I own the entire balance?
Generally, with 401(k) plans, there is a vesting period. Vesting refers to the ownership of your employer's match contributions. Note, your contributions vest immediately upon contribution. However, employer match contributions may require certain years of service. Companies generally have a graded vesting schedule where the vesting percentage increases with the number of years of service. For example, 20% vesting after 0-2 years of service, 40% after 3-4, etc.
4) So, how do I invest in the plan?
Companies generally engage third parties to manage custodianship, trusteeship, and administration of the 401(k) plans. Usually, these third parties reach out to employees directly to set up their initial access to the plan's individual account whereby you can direct investments that are available in the plan as negotiated by your employer.
Investment options may include target date funds (2050, 2060) or specific mutual funds and stocks for you to select. Be sure to carefully review investment performance, history of the fund, and expenses when selecting an investment option.
Death, changes, and taxes – triple guarantees of life. Some employers will offer the option of pre (traditional) or post (Roth) tax contribution into the 401(k) plan. Traditional means that your contributions are deducted (pre-tax) before taxes are calculated on your compensation and vice-versa. Note, IRS sets annual limitations on contributions, which was $18,500 in 2018.

Now I have adequate time off and enough sleep, the biggest issue I face is how to support mum through times of emotional turmoil. The turmoil is not only felt by her. When mum dips into despair or becomes greatly agitated, I experience a surprising range of emotions. Empathy, compassion and concern for mum are usually my first responses; but not always. Sometimes I feel upset with her, and I can react negatively.
This troubles me because the worst thing you can do with someone living with dementia is to create an environment, however fleetingly, where they feel unwelcome, unsafe or uncomfortable. As they are increasingly unable to record new facts, they won't know what caused the distress, but they will feel something is wrong. Feelings are more important than facts, as dementia care experts stress (1).
For example, a few days ago, mum said she felt she was imposing on me; I had things to do, places to be, and she didn't understand why I had taken her in. She was miserable. What compounded her insecurity at the time was that she didn't know I was her daughter. "I have no relatives that I know of and am not feeling like I belong." She remembered that her sister had children but didn't think she herself had any. As I've learned before, there is no point telling mum I am her daughter at such times. She looks bemused or confused, and certainly not reassured.
In moments like this mum's statements can feel like a reprimand to me, an indication I am not doing a good job. I was bewildered about her feelings that seemed to emerge from nowhere. I was upset she was unhappy with me, and cross that however much I did, it wasn't enough. I was also perplexed about where her feelings came from and fearful about how long they would last. Moments later, I felt such deep concern and compassion for her, that I welled up with tears as I tried to comfort her.
Often, I get completely caught up and carried away in this maelstrom of emotions: feeling bad, reacting automatically, and trying to fix things.
Yesterday, when emotions ran high I tried something new. After lunch, mum normally likes a nap, either in her bedroom or the living room depending on where she thinks she is. Having said she would lie down in her room, she started talking about wanting to go home again. When I said I would take her after her nap, she was adamant she didn't want me going out of my way. She insisted she would drive or catch a bus. Whatever I said to reassure her, that her home was on my route, that I was planning to spend the day with her, that I had no other plans and how nice it would be to go for a walk first, she was clear she didn't want me running myself ragged.
I was disappointed that I wouldn't get my short break after lunch, but I could see that staying at home wasn't helping. Though mum was still feeling miserable, she agreed to come out for a walk. In the car, mum continued to explain what was wrong. This time, instead of trying to fix things, to reassure her or to say anything at all, I simply focused on the physical sensations of my breath, as my mindfulness teachers have taught me to. The book 'Mindfulness: Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World' trains us to tune into the movements of the breath in the lower abdomen, when we catch ourselves in automatic mode or becoming reactive. I am normally so caught up in mum's moods I rarely remember this.
Mum's words and agitation repeatedly pulled me off centre, but I kept returning to my breath. Gradually I started feeling calmer, and less swept up by mum's emotions. After a short while I was able to respond from a more stable place. I felt less like I was responsible or had to fix things, and mum grew calmer too. I don't know if my inner state helped to stabilise her; it could have been the effect of the walk, or her mood changing naturally over time. I am not sure, but I do know that remaining mindful helped me. So, I will be trying this again.
"Feelings Matter Most" is front and centre of Dementia Care Matters' philosophy. "Feelings are more important than facts", is also a fundamental learning point in the methodology of the Contented Dementia Trust.
PS: I am delighted to be speaking about my experience of supporting my mother through her emotional pain, on a panel hosted by Dementia Care Matters, at this year's Dementia Congress (pdf). The session entitled, '"I want to die" – finding a way to be alongside deep emotional pain in dementia care,' runs as an alternative workshop to the main plenary session at 11 am on Thursday, 8 November.
I find myself nodding along to your words when you describe emotions and reactions and you seem to have a calm and measured way that can be very helpful to read. Thank you for sharing some of it.
It is frustrating at times, but being calm does help. Your mother being lost isn't a failure on your part. It is the illness. Feeling otherwise means that you might ask memory questions (do you remember me?) which can lead to stress for both parties. As a reader of your blog, some time in the future you will take comfort from the fact that you know you made a difference, cared and became a more empathetic person. I will vouch for that even if you may have doubts now. All the best.
Oops, just realised I never responded to your lovely comment. Wise words as ever. Thank you Hugh.

What is Your Eagle Story?
In late October, I was crossing Gray's Bay, looking for a huge raft of coots that I had seen earlier in the day. Suddenly, the coots were there, but they were "hugging the shoreline" and swimming frantically. They were all bunched up, and some even climbing on top of other birds. I stopped the car, just in time to see two bald eagles dive into the panicked birds.
sky. I think to myself, this must be heaven! How many towns in America, can you see a bald eagle on your way to work?
I am working outside with my class, and an eagle circles overhead. I yell for everyone to look up and see this magnificent sight. Not one student looks! Next, I hear myself yelling at them, and saying they are horrible people. Then, I regain my composure and remember, they are only 11 years old, and eagles are not at the top of their life list.
Share your eagle story, leave a comment.
During the afternoon of Xmas eve, we were in my house in the Eden Prairie suburbs preparing for dinner. A neighbor came to the door to let us know that an eagle had landed in a tree in our backyard. It was munching on a squirrel that was secured in it's claw. Racing back into the house I grabbed my 35mm digital camera with a telephoto lens and was lucky enough to snap some images to record that fabulous moment, I was within about 30 feet of where it was perched.

I was on a 2 day white water rafting trip in Colorado. It was early in the season and there was a lot of flooding from all of the snow we had received that winter. We rafted by some trees that looked like islands from all of the water and saw 3 or 4 bald eagles in the trees and a big nest.
Wow!! Very cool. i'm looking forward to seeing the pics. It gets pretty wild out here. The deer are demolishing our baby trees. ed and I are panting to keep up with the clean up but mother nature is victorious.


(CNSNews.com) – Securing the safe resettlement of some 2,000 Iranian dissidents housed at Baghdad's Camp Liberty would allow the United States to "reclaim some of our honor as a country," Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) said Wednesday, alluding to the way the U.S.-backed, Iran-friendly Iraqi government has treated them.
"It has been a black mark on our country on several – on many occasions, when we did not stick with the people who stuck with us," Rohrabacher said during a House Foreign Affairs Committee markup of a bipartisan resolution providing for the safety of the camp's residents.
"What we have here today is a chance to make something right" and "reclaim some of our honor as a country," he said.
The residents of Camp Liberty are members of the Mujaheddin-e Khalq (MEK), who for three decades lived in exile in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, a foe of the Iranian regime.
The MEK and affiliated National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) is credited with providing invaluable intelligence, including the key information in 2002 that exposed nuclear activities Tehran had hidden from the international community for two decades.
After the U.S. in 2003 toppled Saddam, the MEK members were disarmed by agreement and confined to Camp Ashraf in Diyala province. The U.S. handed responsibility for them to the government of Iraq in 2009, and three years later Iraqi authorities moved them from Ashraf to Liberty, a former U.S. military base near the Baghdad airport.
Despite supposedly living under protection of international law, they have come under attack numerous times in both locations – most recently last October, when 24 were killed and more injured in a rocket attack claimed by an Iranian-backed Shi'a militia.
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) pointed out that the U.S. has leverage with the Iraqi government, which relies on U.S. support.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which views the camp residents as "persons of concern," says some 1,100 of the original group had been resettled by the end of last year, more than three-quarters of them taken in by Albania.
Roughly 2,000 remain, and efforts continue to resettle them, in Albania and elsewhere.
But, according to the NCRI, Iraqi authorities have stymied efforts by the residents to sell that property, having on six occasions in six months preventing prospective Iraqi purchasers from entering the camp.
The resolution, authored by Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) and with 58 co-sponsors from both parties, received the committee's unanimous support.
Poe said 140 MEK members have been killed and 1,300 others injured in seven attacks on their two camps in Iraq. Seven have been kidnapped.
The resolution condemns the attacks and urges Iraqi authorities to bring those responsible to justice.
It also calls on the U.S. to work with Iraq to ensure that none of the Iraqi forces providing security at Camp Liberty are, are have ever been, directly or indirectly affiliated to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force or other groups associated with past attacks on the camps.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) said it was no secret that Iraq has failed to protect the residents.
"Camp Liberty has never been given adequate protection, and now with the Iran nuclear deal and Iran getting more money to carry out its illicit activities, I fear that Liberty will be an even easier and larger target for the regime than before," she said.

Jack the Ripper: Case Closed
by Gyles Brandreth
Publisher Corsair
Signed, Lined & Dated
London. 1894.
'I am not a detective, chief constable.'
'No, but you are a poet, a freemason and a man of the world. All useful qualifications for the business in hand.'
So says Police Chief Macnaghten to Oscar Wilde, in a Chelsea drawing room in the company of Arthur Conan Doyle. The business they are gathered to discuss is none other than the case of Jack the Ripper, the most notorious murderer in England.
And thus the three men set out to solve one of the world's most famous mysteries - the ultimate truth about the identity of Jack the Ripper.
Case Closed is Arthur Conan Doyle's account of the events of 1894, the year of the return of Jack the Ripper. Based on Oscar Wilde's real-life friendship with Conan Doyle and the extraordinary but little-known fact that in 1894 the detective in charge of the Jack the Ripper investigations was Oscar Wilde's neighbour in Tite Street, Chelsea, this is a revelatory and gripping detective story, combining the intrigue of a classic murder mystery with a witty and compelling portrait of one of the greatest characters of the Victorian age.

Comment: Batteries — why you should believe the hype
Helle Abelvik-Lawson
@Abelvixx
We've all heard the usual complaints about renewable energy's intermittency problem: the sun doesn't always shine, the wind doesn't always blow.
But this ignores one of the biggest technological developments of our climate-stressed times: storage.
Big battery storage is taking off stateside, and not just because of renewables, but also because grids want ways to hold onto energy to be deployed at peak times – without having to build big expensive power plants.
There are a bunch of ways to store energy – from hydrogen fuel cells to pumped hydro – but it's the lithium-ion battery that's winning the market, turning both commercial and residential buildings into power-providers.
Tesla's takeover – the Powerwall and the Powerpack
In May 2015, energy storage really took off – along with Tesla's share price.
CEO Elon Musk, the enigmatic space-exploring inventor of PayPal, announced the company's first foray into the home storage market: the Powerwall.
The size of a boiler or a small fridge, this $3,500 wall-mounted home battery lets you store power from your roof-mounted solar panels – or buy it from the grid at night when it's cheapest – to use whenever you need it most.
Obviously how long the 7 or 10 kilowatt hour (kWh) battery would last you depends on how much power you use, but the idea is that at a minimum it would keep you going through the night – promising either complete energy independence, or at least a serious reduction in your bills.
Tesla's Powerwall
But it's the 100 kilowatt-hour (kWh) commercial-grade Powerpack that will end up transforming grids.
Like the Powerwall, you could get a bunch of these and link them together, creating what Musk described as an "infinitely scalable" energy storage system.
This means that businesses, and even municipal or national energy systems, can take energy produced by power stations, businesses or domestic customers and store it for use by others when there are surges in demand (which is when energy is most expensive).
None of this is new technology – in the UK there's already something called the Powervault – but the hype is definitely real.
In just a couple of months, orders for Tesla's stationary batteries hit $1 billion and 100,000 units, the majority being Powerpacks – with one order for 250 units.
Offices, apartments, school buildings as "virtual power plants"
The Powerpack has already started transforming grids in California.
Orange County's biggest landlord, Irvine Co., announced this autumn the installation of Tesla Powerpacks in up to 24 of its office buildings later this year.
The scheme is expected to provide Southern California Edison with 10MW reserve capacity – enough to power 10,000 homes – and reduce peak power demand by 25% across their portfolio.
Taking up no more room than five parking spaces, the system also allows the building owner to buy electricity when it's cheap and store it for peak times.
It also lets the building act as a sort of "virtual power plant" with reserves capable of being deployed at night or during grid outages – according to Rich Bluth, the Irvine Co vice-president of energy management.
The deal between Southern California Edison and startup storage developer Advanced Microgrid Solutions (which actually bought the batteries from Tesla) follows a smaller 1MW reserve capacity project announced earlier in the year by Demand Energy for residential buildings in New York.
Both are motivated by the loss of capacity due to nearby nuclear plant closures.
Musk said of the Powerpack earlier in the year that it was "independent of renewable energy".
"It does not matter whether you have solar panels; this is just being able to shut down half of your power plants if you have buffering. Because you can then have your power plant output at the average of what is needed by the consumers."
Elon Musk, Tesla Motors
CEO of Advanced Microgrid Solutions Susan Kennedy told the media: "This is the grid of the future. This is the beginning of a grid transformation."
The UK's National Grid chief Steve Holliday agrees that the era of large power stations is over, arguing that energy markets "are clearly moving towards much more distributed production and towards microgrids". He still believes that big power stations will provide peak demand but says renewables such as rooftop solar will increasingly provide the baseload.
And it is also working this way for California schools. In the Mountain View Los Altos district area of Silicon Valley, where parked electric vehicles are causing surges in demand for electricity, battery purchases are enabling reduced peak demand charges, saving the district hundreds of thousands of dollars. The day-time baseload, however, is still provided by solar panels.
Policy paves the way for big business and falling costs
The storage-buying frenzy in California follows a landmark 2013 mandate from the California Public Utility Commission that the state's three big investor-owned utilities should put 1.3GW of storage on the grid by 2020.
This is already impacting price projections: In March 2015 a report on solar power from Deutsche Bank said that energy storage are expected to decrease in cost by roughly 86% over the next five years.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance has said that by 2020, global investment for stationary-grid energy storage is expected to be worth $5.1 billion, a 17-fold increase from investment levels in 2013.
Tesla may be sold out of batteries until mid-2016, but they're not the only player in the market. But with major companies like Wal-Mart, Amazon, and Target also piloting Powerpack installations, the company has certainly carved out a place for itself.
To continue making these batteries Tesla is building its "gigafactory" in Nevada, which will start producing batteries in 2016.
Analysts say that this factory alone will reduce the costs of lithium-ion batteries by 50%.
The story of storage — and where we go from here
The solar storage revolution has arrived


In research that included nearly 14,000 healthy infants in Belarus, an intervention that succeeded in improving the duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding during infancy did not result in a lower risk of overweight or obesity among the children at age 11.5 years, according to a study appearing in the March 13 issue of JAMA.
Observational studies suggest that greater duration and exclusivity of having been breastfed reduces child obesity risk. "However, breastfeeding and growth are socially patterned in many settings," and observed associations between these variables are at least partly explained by confounding factors, according to background information in the article.
Richard M. Martin, Ph.D., of the University of Bristol, England, and colleagues investigated the effects of an intervention to promote increased duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding on child adiposity (body fat) and circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which regulates growth. The randomized controlled trial was conducted in 31 Belarusian maternity hospitals and their affiliated clinics. Participants were randomized into 1 of 2 groups: breastfeeding promotion intervention or usual practices. Participants were 17,046 breastfeeding mother-infant pairs enrolled in 1996 and 1997, of whom 13,879 (81.4 percent) were followed up between January 2008 and December 2010 at a median (midpoint) age of 11.5 years. The breastfeeding promotion intervention was modeled on the WHO/UNICEF Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (World Health Organization/United Nations Children's Fund). The main outcome measures were body mass index (BMI), fat and fat-free mass indices (FMI and FFMI), percent body fat, waist circumference, triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses, overweight and obesity, and whole-blood IGF-1.
As previously reported, the researchers found that infants in the intervention group had substantially increased breastfeeding duration and exclusivity vs. the control group: at 3 months, exclusively (43.3 percent vs. 6.4 percent) and predominantly (51.9 vs. 28.3 percent) breastfed; at 6 months, both exclusive (7.9 percent vs. 0.6 percent) and predominant breastfeeding (10.6 percent vs. 1.6) were lower, but more common in the intervention group; and at 12 months, 19.7 percent (intervention) vs. 11.4 percent (control), were still breastfeeding to any degree.
At followup, when children were a median 11.5 years age, there were no significant differences between the experimental vs. control groups for the main outcomes, with the cluster-adjusted mean [average] differences of 0.19 (95 percent CI, -0.09 to 0.46) for BMI; 0.12 for FMI; 0.04 for FFMI; 0.47 percent for percent body fat; 0.30 cm for waist circumference; -0.07 mm for triceps and -0.02 mm for subscapular skinfold thicknesses; and -0.02 standard deviations for IGF-1.
The cluster-adjusted odds ratio for overweight/obesity (BMI ≥85th vs. <85th percentile) was 1.18 (95 percent CI, 1.01 to 1.39) and for obesity (BMI ≥95th vs. <85th percentile) was 1.17 (95 percent CI, 0.97 to 1.41).
"Among healthy term infants in Belarus, an intervention to improve the duration and exclusivity of infant breastfeeding did not prevent overweight or obesity, nor did it affect IGF-1 levels among these children when they were aged 11.5 years. Nevertheless, breastfeeding has many health advantages for the offspring, including beneficial effects demonstrated by our PROBIT trial on gastrointestinal infections and atopic eczema in infancy and improved cognitive development at age 6.5 years. Although breastfeeding is unlikely to stem the current obesity epidemic, its other advantages are amply sufficient to justify continued public health efforts to promote, protect, and support it," the researchers conclude.

Q: Is there an online sample movie to test MPMoviePlayerController? I have the iPhone successfully trying to open a movie online. (It fails because I don't have a real URL.)
Does anyone know of a working URL I could use as a baseline test to make sure my code is working? I know the iPhone is a bit picky about formats and MIME types and the server, so I want to start with a known working stream.

A: Got error note saying that the video doesn't exist any more. Here's another one, from Apple Knowledge Base document. Maybe it stays around longer:

Genetic test could improve blood cancer treatment
Testing for genetic risk factors could improve treatment for myeloma – a cancer of the blood and bone marrow – by helping doctors identify patients at risk of developing more aggressive disease.
New research, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology today, found as few as nine genetic features would need to be tested to identify high-risk patients who might benefit from intensive treatment.
The study, led by researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is the first to link genetic mutations in myeloma cells to the chances of surviving the disease.
The research was funded by Myeloma UK, Cancer Research UK and the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and the ICR.
Researchers used genetic sequencing to analyse all of the genes of 463 patients enrolled in the Myeloma XI clinical trial.
The study identified 15 genes that were significantly mutated in a subset of patients with myeloma – and mapped how having these mutations related to long-term survival.
The researchers found that testing for nine of these mutated genes, in combination with a test to determine the stage of myeloma, identified 90% of patients with very aggressive disease who died prematurely.
Myeloma patients with mutations within their cancers in a gene called CCND1, which helps control cell division, were more likely to have severe forms of disease than those without. Only 38% of patients with mutations in CCND1 survived longer than two years, compared with 80% of patients without faults in this gene.
DNA repair gene TP53 was found to be faulty in 11% of the patients, and was also associated with a shorter survival time – 54% of patients with TP53 mutations survived more than two years.
The most common genetic faults in myeloma were found to be errors in members of the RAS gene family, one of which was discovered at the ICR, and which are defective in many cancer types. The researchers discovered mutations in the genes NRAS and KRAS in 43% of patients – suggesting that in myeloma, RAS mutations drive cells to become cancerous, and potentially opening up new avenues for treatment.
Strikingly, over 50% of the mutations identified in the study can be targeted by new or existing cancer drugs developed for other cancer types – opening up potential new avenues for targeted treatment.
The scientists also found that patients with myeloma who had errors in some genes had a more favourable outlook. All the patients in the study with mutations in the genes IRF4 and EGR1 survived more than two years, compared with 79% and 78% of patients with error-free copies of the genes, respectively.
Study leader Professor Gareth Morgan, who conducted the research as Professor of Haematology at the ICR, said: "Our study has identified genetic features which can identify those patients whose myeloma is likely to prove aggressive and to progress quickly.
"We hope our study ultimately paves the way for genetic testing to pick out the minority of patients with myeloma with a poor prognosis, who might benefit from the most intensive possible treatment."
Eric Low, Chief Executive of Myeloma UK, said: "The results of this innovative and first-of-its kind genetic study are pivotal. Myeloma patients with aggressive, high-risk disease experience suboptimal outcomes and poorer overall survival, so identification of this group of patients at diagnosis is crucial. These results will lead to the development of new, and the better use of existing treatments, to overcome high-risk, aggressive myeloma and therefore improve survival in this important sub-group of patients.
"Through this and other ongoing studies, researchers at the ICR are shining a very bright torch on the genetic differences and complexities behind myeloma which will result in the right patients getting the right treatment for their myeloma at the right time."
Professor Paul Workman, Chief Executive of the ICR, said: "We now know that cancer is much more complex than had once been thought, and that each individual form of cancer can in fact be divided up into many different sub-types, each with different sets of genetic drivers.
"This new study has found that testing for a particular set of mutations seems to pick out patients whose myeloma is likely to prove particularly aggressive, and who will need the most intensive possible treatment to maximise their chances of survival. The findings could also make it possible to start treating myeloma patients with particular targeted treatments, depending on the collection of mutations within their cancers."

Die Bürgschaft (opera)
Die Bürgschaft (The Pledge) is an opera in three acts by Kurt Weill. Caspar Neher wrote the German libretto after the parable Der afrikanische Rechtspruch (The African Verdict) by Johann Gottfried Herder. Composed from August to October 1931, it was premiered on 10 March 1932 at the Städtische Oper in Berlin, Germany.

Der afrikanische Rechtspruch
by Johann Gottfried Herder
Städtische Oper, Berlin
The opera dates from the years immediately prior to Weill's emigration to the United States. Representing "the summation of Weill's career as an opera composer in Europe,"[1] it provides insight into the compositional path that Weill might have followed had he stayed in Europe.[2] Die Bürgschaft is an opera of broad ambition and scope, far more somber in tone than Weill's prior works for the stage.[2] The work is in part the result of Weill's growing distance from Brecht during work on Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, leading the composer to turn to stage designer Caspar Neher, his longtime collaborator as a stage director, for the libretto.[3] Die Bürgschaft is, further, a product of its political climate, dubbed by Weill an opera that "attempts to adopt a position on matters that concern us all," and one of multiple Weill stage works of this period "addressing the problem of moral responsibility within a crumbling culture given over to greed, power, and inhumanity."[3] As Weill wrote in reaction to a review of the opera's premiere, "the job of opera today consists in reaching out beyond the fate of private individuals towards universality."[1] In addition to its sobriety and political undertones, Die Bürgschaft is a musical turning point for Weill. Weill characterized it as "a return to real music-making."[3] Multiple scholars have noted its departure from the "number opera" formula of works such as The Threepenny Opera and Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny in exchange for a more continuous sound, as well as a minimizing of satire and irony.[1][2][3] Certain of these scholars have also noted influences ranging from Handel and Verdi in its oratorio-like features to a detached and unemotional character indebted to Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex.[1][3]
Die Bürgschaft concerns the rise to power of a money-driven dictatorship, bringing with it greed and destruction. The plot bears clear parallels with the rise of Nazism in Germany at the time, but as suggested above it also acts as a larger social parable dealing with man's role in society.[2] Indeed, the source for Herder's tale Der afrikanische Rechtspruch, on which Neher's libretto was based, is the "Bava Metzia" section of the Talmud. Interpreted accordingly, the social parable of Die Bürgschaft is the covenant of rabbinical teaching: the bonds between men, between men and their community, and between forces within the community of men such as the law, the state, and the government.[3]
After its 1932 Berlin premiere (directed by Carl Ebert), Die Bürgschaft was produced in two additional German cities in 1932, Wiesbaden and Düsseldorf (12 April 1932; directed by Walter Bruno Iltz, conductor: Jascha Horenstein), before political events led to its removal from the German stage.[3] After two radio revivals of heavily edited, if not mutilated, versions of the opera in 1957 and 1980, respectively, the original version was performed with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam choir and conducted by Jean-Marie ten Velden in February 1987 in the Paradiso concert hall, Amsterdam;[4] and by the Bielefeld Opera conducted by Rainer Koch and Geoffrey Moull in 1998.[3] One German critic noted of the Bielefeld production that "all the intendants of Germany's top-ranking opera houses should be required to attend a performance."[3] Soon after, the original version received its American premiere, and first recording, at the 1999 Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, South Carolina, under Julius Rudel.[3] Music critic for The Wall Street Journal, Heidi Waleson, wrote of the opera, in a review the Spoleto Festival production, that Die Bürgschaft is "a stunning work that knits together Weill's intense social and political concerns with compositional skill and invention of the highest order."[3]

Lubavitch and Geocentricism
I read here in an article by Rabbi Gil Student that the late Lubavitcher Rebbe zy"a believed in the geocentric model despite the modern scientific evidence to the contrary. What is the source for this claim? Can someone cite a letter or Sicha from the Rebbe zy"a where he discusses his support for the geocentric model?
hashkafah-philosophy theology chabad science
Perhaps he held like Reb Yonason Eibshitz who said it's assur to believe in the heliocentric model. Or he held like the Zohar in Vayikra 10b who chastised Rav Hamnuna for believing in the heliocentric model, with a bizarre story 'proving' Rashbi right, and Rav Hamnuna crying the rest of his life for not having believed the divrei chachamim.
"the geocentric model despite the modern scientific evidence to the contrary" scientific evidence is that everything including the sun is "actually orbiting around a point" cold the barycenter i was taught that the Rebbe's view on this is: depending were you are looking from it will seem differently what is turning around what. so from the earths point of view the sun is going around the earth, even though the orbits look simpler if you take the sun as the center.

He also explains why he believed this way based on the Theory of Relativity.

Welcome to Mi Yodeya! If you would edit in a summary of what the letter contains, that would protect this answer against "link-rot" - what if the link goes down? If it does, then important information is still here in the post. Also, it's easier for our readers not to have to follow links.

+1. This might not necessarily be a faithful representation of the scientific concept of relativity, but it is a correct answer to the question posed here.
@Daniel Indeed. For someone so smart his deductions here are rather surprising.
@DoubleAA the letter is from 1975. It could be that this is from before the concepts of relativity were widely understood by people outside the physics world
In 1975 the following letter was sent to a local Chabad emissary:
Rabbi Feivel Rimmler 824 Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, NY 11213
Dear Rabbi Rimmler,
As per our conversation of today regarding taharat hamishpacha [family purity], etc., I did say to you, and am submitting the same in writing by means of this letter, that if the Rebbe would make a public statement to the effect that he personally believes and directs that his followers therefore believe that, since the Talmud states that the sun revolves around the earth, it is therefore his firm belief that the sun does indeed revolve around the earth, that I will;
a) Personally observe the laws of taharat hamishpacha, tefillin, and Shabbat, and b) Influence as many of my friends and colleagues to do the same.
It is, however, more than obvious to me that the Rebbe will not, in any way, make such a ridiculous statement, because
a) He does not wish to be labeled as a fool. b) He himself is not as foolish as some of his ardent but hypnotized followers.
I predict, with no hesitation, that I will not hear any more about this matter, either from you or from the Rebbe or through the press. I must tell you that I feel a deep personal hurt when people such as you make such asinine, ridiculous statements and then hide your abysmal ignorance behind the façade of "Torah." Don't you realize that you can still be believers and not live 500 years behind the times??
Rabbi Rimmler forwarded the above letter to the Rebbe, who replied with the following three letters:
By the Grace of G-d Rosh Chodesh Kislev 5736 Brooklyn, NY
Your letter, addressed to Rabbi Feivel Rimmler, reached me with considerable delay, more specifically before last Shabbos.
In view of its content, I naturally take this first opportunity of replying to it.
Not knowing whether you are more interested in the practical implication, and/or in the scientific aspect, I am writing two separate replies, enclosed herewith, which you can read in the order you prefer.
As customary in such a case, I am sending copies of the letters to Rabbi Rimmer, since it was he who conveyed your letter to me, and you will surely not mind.
With esteem and blessing,
P.S. It is surely unnecessary to add – though I am add it for the record – that I take it for granted that you will keep your commitments with regard to the practical aspects of your letter.
In reply to your question relating to the matter of the motion of the sun and the earth, whether the sun revolves around the earth or the earth around the sun.
It is my firm belief that the sun revolves around the earth, as I have also declared publicly on various occasions and in discussion with professors specializing in the field of science.
In view of the above, I have no objection, of course, if you wish to make this view known to whomever you choose, since, as mentioned, I have declared it orally and in writing to correspondents who had inquired into this subject, on more than one occasion.
P.S. On several of the above-mentioned occasions, when I spoke on the subject publicly, I gave a clear and detailed explanation why this view is in no conflict at all with contemporary science. I emphasized, however, that I was speaking of modern and contemporary science, as it differs from Ptolemaic and medieval science when conflicting views were held on this subject. Modern science, on the other hand, having rejected both systems, has reached conclusions which present no problem to one holding to the belief that the sun revolves around the earth, as I have explained at some length somewhere.
This is in reply to your inquiry on the question of the rotation of the sun and the earth in relation to each other, namely, whether the sun revolves around the earth, or the earth around the sun, and which view is to be accepted, etc.
I presume you have in mind the scientific view, i.e., what science has to say on this question, and I will address myself to this aspect.
It is well known that this was a controversial issue in ancient and medieval science. However, since about half a century ago, with the introduction of the theory of relativity, the latter has been universally accepted as the basis of modern science. To be sure, in the beginning there were scientists working under the Soviet regime who opposed the relativity theory – for various reasons which need not be reviewed here, but even this opposition fell by the wayside later, so that now all scientists generally accept the theory of relativity as the latest and most plausible scientific system.
One of the conclusions of the theory of relativity is that when there are two systems, or planets, in motion relative to each other – such as the sun and earth in our case – either view, namely, the sun rotating around the earth, or the earth rotating around the sun, has equal validity. Thus, if there are phenomena that cannot be adequately explained on the basis of one of these views, such difficulties have their counterpart also if the opposite view is accepted.
Secondly, the scientific conclusion that both views have equal validity is the result not of any inadequacy of available scientific data, of technological development (measuring instruments, etc.), in which case it could be expected that further scientific and technological advancement might clear up the matter eventually and decide in favor of one or the other view. On the contrary, the conclusion of contemporary science is that regardless of any future scientific advancement, the question as to which is our planetary center, the sun or the earth, must forever remain unresolved, since both views will always have the same scientific validity, as stated.
Thirdly, it follows that anyone declaring that a person who chooses to accept one of these systems in preference to the other is a fool, while one who accepts the other is a wise man – such a judgment shows that the person making it is ignorance of the conclusions of modern science, or that he has not advanced beyond the science of Ptolemy and Copernicus. Obviously, a person not versed in the development of science in the course of the past half-century or so is not qualified to make any judgment pertaining to science.
A further point may be added, though perhaps not directly pertinent to our discussion. It is that every person, including modern scientists, actually has three options to choose from in this matter:
a) That A revolves around B. b) That B revolves around A. c) That A and B revolve around each other.
But such a choice cannot be dictated by science; it would be one's personal choice and belief.
What has been said above is – to repeat – the deduction of the theory of relativity, as it is expounded in various scientific tests, and it can be checked with any scientist who is thoroughly familiar with the said theory. Of course, on the elementary and high school level, science in general, and the so-called Solar System in particular, is taught from relatively simple textbooks, and the change in the scientific attitude towards the subject under discussion is not emphasized. But, as stated, it would be quite simple to verify it with any scientist who knows this particular field.

...wow. As a scientist, you'd have to cherry pick from a cherry picked basket to arrive at the conclusions that Rabbi Schneerson makes. Considerably illogical, and shows a lack of understanding of some rather basic science

In a letter posted here discussing reinterpreting established Torah truths in light of modern discoveries, the Rebbe zy"a writes:
It was conceivable, in those days, that if one approached a student who dabbled in science and told him that according to the Torah-hashkofo [Torah outlook], the sun revolves around the earth, he might well repudiate Torah altogether. So, in an effort to encourage the student to put on Teffilin [ritual prayer boxes], the well-meaning Rabbi did not mind conceding that the earth revolved around the sun. But surely there is no longer any justification whatever to perpetuate this 'inferiority complex!' Certainly there is no basis for holding on to views which have come down in outdated elementary and high school textbooks on science.
This matter of the sun and the earth is a further case in point. To declare categorically in the name of science, that the earth revolves around the sun, and not vise versa, is, as noted above, turning the scientific clock back to the 19th century and Medieval science. It is also at variance with the theory of relativity, which has likewise been universally accepted. Science now declares—as categorically as it is permissible for contemporary science—that where two bodies in space are in relative motion, it is scientifically impossible to determine which is at rest and which in motion.
It would seem that he felt that "conceding that the earth revolves around the sun" was an inappropriate reinterpretation of an established fact of Torah hashkafa.
This doesn't mean he believes in a geocentric model. This means he believes that one is indistinguishable from the other. This belief is not contrary to the modern scientific position; it is tantamount to the scientific position
"it is scientifically impossible to determine which is at rest and which in motion" then doesn't that contradict the Torah's (alleged) claim that the sun revolves around earth?
@DoubleAA why is the fact that it is impossible to ascertain something scientifically a contradiction to a claim to that position?
– Jewels
@Jewels, the statment is not "safek" so much as "both are true" (according to relativity). Note that setting relativity aside and focusing on increasingly-precise models of mechanics, the contemporary model, as explained by hazoriz in a comment above would be "neither are precisely true, but the center is much closer to the Sun." Still, no safek.
@Jewels The (alleged) Torah claim is that the sun revolves around the earth AND the earth does not revolve around the sun (unless you want to claim Chazal understood Galilean relativity). This is patently false. The indeterminacy of relativity can be interpreted such that both revolve around each other or neither revolves around the other. Not that one does and one doesn't.
He supports this model, and general disapproval of the big bang theory, in a letter in the AOJS publication 'Challenge'.

Soma is an elegant, table-worthy glass carafe that contains an innovative filtration system made from biodegradable materials, including coconut shells and a plant-based casing.
The Soma water filtration system includes a carafe and filter. But unlike plastic pitchers, the innovative Soma vessel is artfully designed with German engineered, shatter-resistant glass, and the filters are organic and compostable. It keeps water fresh and clear, with the added benefit of being elegant enough to serve at the dinner table.
Soma founder Mike Del Ponte envisioned a water filter that was beautiful, easy to use and made of sustainable, plant based materials. He enlisted the help of water expert David Beeman, who designed filtration operations at Starbucks, Peets and Coffee Bean. Together they formulated the Soma filters with Malaysian coconut shells, an all natural solution that naturally screens chlorine and other harmful chemicals.
The carafe has a minimalist hourglass shape, with no bulky handle. It's sized to fit ergonomically in your hand and comfortably inside the refrigerator. This water pitcher is as crisp and clean looking as the water it pours.

Catching up with Darius Rucker
The Hootie & the Blowfish lead singer-turned-solo country music star sounds off on family, fitness, and more
By Jackie Lebowitz and Jim Wright
The first thing you need to know about Darius Rucker: He's not Hootie.
While you may know him as a former member of the '90s band Hootie & the Blowfish, Rucker was neither: "They were two buddies of mine back in college—one guy was Hootie and his best friend was The Blowfish. They walked into a party once and I said, 'Hey, Hootie and The Blowfish.' I think we started the band a week later."
But hits like "Let Her Cry" and "Only Wanna Be With You" were a long time ago. And since then, Rucker has made a country music career of his own. Tonight, his remake of Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel"—which made it to the top of Billboard's Country Singles Chart this year—is nominated for the Country Music Awards Single and Song of the Year. [Ed note: Darius did not win in these categories, but performed his hit to close out the CMAs.]
Rucker has more to say than the lyrics in his songs. After all, offstage he's a P90Xer, a traveler, a husband, and a father. Here are his thoughts:
On what you don't know about country music . . .
"The musicians are totally different. Everyone is really accessible. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to talk to Brad Paisley or Carrie Underwood."
On plowing ahead into a solo career . . .
"If I had cared about the naysayers, I would have never made it as a musician. If I had let the negative side of life affect me, I would have never made it in anything. If people like my music, great. If they don't, you know, hopefully I can make more."
On performing . . .
"On a summer night, I lose probably 5 to 8 pounds of water weight and sweat. It's so hot! You've got to be in good shape, especially with a high-energy show. I'm also not a partier. I gave up drinking and all that. I'm in bed at 11 and I'm up at 6:30."
On staying fit on the road . . .
"When I don't work out, I get mad. Yesterday, we were filming a music video and I was like, man, I didn't get my workout in. I don't love lifting weights. I don't love being on the elliptical. But I love everything that comes with it. P90X is my exercise on the road. When I'm home, there's this gym called 9 Round Boxing that I go to. It's all boxing stuff." (Want to be a white collar brawler? Check out these 5 things every desk jockey should know before stepping in the ring.)
On guilty pleasures . . .
"I'm a candy guy. I still have to have my Airheads and some candy corn!"
On hidden talents . . .
"I'm one of the best Madden players in the world. If I practice, I can beat anybody."
On who he still wants to perform with . . .
"Sade, John Legend, and I want to sing the hook on a Dr. Dre record."
On the best advice he's ever gotten . . .
"Brad Paisley once told me, 'Just be yourself.' I thought that was perfect."
On balancing work and home life . . .
"I try to tour mostly on the weekends so I can be home a lot. My kids also tour with me in the summer. I'll come off stage and they'll be watching a movie in the lounge. I'll be like, 'You guys watch any of the show?' and they're like, 'Nah, I heard three songs last night.' I'm their dad."
On his favorite achievement or accolade . . .
"Oh, my kids. Then there's being on stage with Al Green. My band was his backup singing 'Take Me to the River.' He was my mom's guy and my mom has been gone a long time. All I could think about was, my mom's in heaven, laughing her ass off."
Tune in to the Country Music Awards tonight at 8 p.m. ET on ABC to watch Darius Rucker.

defining who we are as a person.
Membership in our organization is free. We publish a newsletter, provide new parent packets for families, and host social and educational gatherings. We hope you will feel welcome in our group. Let us know how we can help you.


I just realised that in celebrating our first year anniversary this week, we have also successfully completed one whole year of Sunday Stickies! This feels like another achievement altogether. Just for the sake of reminiscing, check out our first ever Sunday Stickies post here and marvel at how far we have come. Haha! So cute, we used to talk so little in our posts.
Thank you guys for supporting honey&gazelle Design Studio for the past 12 months and for sticking with us after so many changes and developments. Pun intended as it is after all, a Sunday Stickies post. It feels wholly surreal that we have made it to a year. We have grown from mere dreamers to a fully functioning design studio with the best community support ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you (: We will continue to work super hard to create better and to share an abundance of happiness with you in the coming years!
We will also be setting up shop this coming weekend (and the following) at the DBS Marina Regatta. We are super excited for that as the event is huge! Asides from the Shop House (the name for the artisan market that we are involved in), there is also going to be an urban beach with the tallest waterslide in Southeast Asia with a whole lot of activities, amazing food, music, and of course, the dragon boat races. We have friends who are racing in the regatta which makes us extra pumped for this event! Come on down to soak in the festivities and say hi to us.
We will be releasing a whole bunch of new arrivals at our pop-up booth, as well as launching a collaboration with a non-profit organisation (: There will be new stickers, art prints, postcards, and a very special concept that was created for the vacation season ahead. We will also be bringing our anniversary vending machine where you can win prizes! Doesn't it sound like so much fun? Please join us there!
And finally, for this week's Sunday Stickies. Sadly, there is only my stickies as Min is now somewhere in the safari! I am not kidding. I know her itinerary.
Jia (obviously): If you read last week's Sunday Stickies, you would know that I was completely engrossed in games and trivia quizzes. So, I made it a mission to read more this week and I did! There has been a reading bug going around my home recently and I totally caught it. I have been ignoring my really old Kindle - so old that Amazon doesn't sell it anymore - for a couple of months but I am so glad that I am back in the reading mood! I finished two books and would wholeheartedly recommend you to read 'Please Look After Mom' by Shin Kyung-Sook. It pierced my heart and reminded me to appreciate my mom more daily!
I am now reading something that I haven't read in ages - a crime novel. I usually read historical fiction and family-based drama fiction, with the occasional chick lit, all of which my brother had many times scoffed as boring. He of fantasy and sci-fi inclinations. Thus, I thought I would be adventurous and leap into some crime/thriller fiction by starting with my sister's beloved author, Agatha Christie. It is always better to begin your journey in a new genre with one of the greats, right? I am not hooked yet but the feeling is positive!

Q: Is the Power BI REST API limited to one company/organization? Is the Power BI REST API only allowed to be called for accounts within the same organization of the application?
For example, in Azure I created a new Power BI app in the Azure Active Directory mycorp.onmicrosoft.com.
Then when using the API and redirecting the user to authenticate, it doesn't seem to work unless the user logs in as a user in the *@mycorp.onmicrosoft.com organization.
The error message is: Application with identifier '' was not found in the directory
I really hope this is not a limitation.

A: Coming back to this thread.  You're right that today Power BI requires the user and the content to be in the same organization.  We do not have cross tenant sharing yet (it's something we're looking into).


"Stay Inside" is a video composed of several fifteen-seconds or less videos from my Instagram account over the past year. I edited them onto the frame side by side with After Effects and used several effects to make them warped, glitched, and altered. The music is created by me. It was a bass riff I wrote, reversed, and added reverb to with an iPhone app.
