Noelle did a great job working on my problem areas. I felt so much better afterwards & will definitely recommend her to my friends.
Noelle was very knowledgeable about what I needed and even suggested some tips I can try to make my daily pain less. She was very quiet during the session, which allowed me to achieve maximum relaxation. The CBD oil really enhanced my experience.
Very knowledgeable. I told her what my injury was and she was able to put together a nice thai massage that focused on that area.
Noelle is amazing. She takes time to ask what issues I am having , and proceeds to give the best massage ever. I won't go to anyone else . I appreciate he dedication and her knowledge when it comes to massages. She is also super professional. Thank you Noelle.
Her grip was so strong! She was able find all my tight spots on my back and neck! Everything was perfect!
Noelle is amazing! She is intuitive, professional, and knowledgeable. I received a traditional Thai massage and was in heaven---I felt very safe and relaxed during the massage and was completely rejuvenated afterward. She has an amazing skill set from her studies in Chiang Mai, and was able to adapt her skills to fit my personal needs. After working on my lower back especially, I notice a huge improvement as my pain was relieved and I also gained more body awareness. I recommend visiting Noelle on a weekly or monthly basis to improve your overall health and wellness along with proper breathing, diet, and exercise.
Noelle is a very sensitive listener. I went in not really knowing what I wanted, and she quickly created a plan for our session that included massage and energy work. I left feeling relaxed, attended to, and truly heard.
Noelle had a magic touch. She was able to find any spot that was tight and sometimes I was even surprised by what she found! The experience left me feeling relaxed and calm for the rest of my day and I slept so deeply afterwards. My only regret is that I don't live nearby to do this regularly. Thank you, Noelle!
Noelle is fabulous! She genuinely cares about the overall well-being of her clients. Her quiet, calm spirit is reflected in the restoration and healing services she provides. The massage experience is amazing from beginning to end- physically, mentally and even spiritually. I truly feel centered, re-calibrated, and stress-free after receiving a massage from Noelle.

Q: Error: wrong model type for regression, using train() in R Does anyone knows why model1 is working but model2, model3, and model4 give this error:
Error: wrong model type for regression

model1 <- lda(website_fakeness~ .,data=dfn)

model2 <- train(x= dfn, y= as.factor(dfn$website_fakeness), method="lda")

model3 <- train(dfn$website_fakeness~.,data=dfn,  method="lda")

model4 <- train(website_fakeness~.,data=dfn,  method="lda")

website_fakeness is my dependent variable including 0 or 1 values.
I don't have such an issue with other prediction models using them in train() such as "svm", "knn", "mlp", "nb" ,...  but train() does not work with  "lda", "qda", "gam".
what could be wrong?

Looking Back and Projecting Ahead as AVE Celebrates One Year
This October marks the one-year anniversary of the Atlas of Variant Effects (AVE) Alliance.
By: BBI Communications on October 21, 2021
'Collectively advancing the promise of the Human Genome Project by interpreting the landscape of human genetic variation'
This October marks the one-year anniversary of the Atlas of Variant Effects (AVE) Alliance. AVE is an international collaborative whose mission is to galvanize and coordinate global efforts to produce multiplexed functional data for human and pathogen genes to inform human disease. The Alliance currently has more than 200 members, who include technology developers, data producers and analysts, researchers, clinicians, curators, data consumers, funders and other stakeholders, from over 10 countries.
Three of AVE's Executive Committee members – Drs. Matthew Hurles of the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Lea Starita of the University of Washington, and Frederick (Fritz) Roth of the University of Toronto –reflect on this past year and also offer a glimpse into the future.
What are some of the highlights of the AVE's first year?
Dr. Hurles: The sheer enthusiasm of the AVE community to come together to share expertise and data and the way that the vision of AVE has so clearly resonated with such a broad community of researchers.
Dr. Starita: Finding so many people with the shared passion and interest in understanding genetic variation and driving the field forward.
Dr. Roth: It has been so heartening not only to watch membership of AVE grow, but to see how willing everyone has been to be open about their ideas. One example is the incredible response we got when we asked AVE members to openly share information via the MaveRegistry (https://registry.varianteffect.org), a collaborative platform more formally known as Multiplexed Assays of Variant Effect. Members posted not only their published efforts, but also their unpublished and ongoing variant effect mapping projects. In the past year, more than 150 MAVE studies and more than 65 research teams have been registered.
What has surprised you about AVE, thus far? Dr. Hurles: Just how far we've managed to come given that we've been under pandemic limitations for the entirety of the time since the AVE alliance's inception. I've also been surprised how little focus there has been on interpreting protein coding variants among the recently awarded initiatives of the Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF) Consortium.
Dr. Starita: I've been surprised at the strong commitment of people to the organization and to our collaboration and work together.
Dr. Roth: It has been exciting to see how willing the members of AVE workstreams have been to give and take perspectives from other disciplines and adjust their thinking.
Looking ahead, what are your goals for AVE's second year? Dr. Hurles: I have several goals for AVE's second year. First, to broaden the community generating and publishing variant effect maps. To ensure that the data being generated are high quality, and are shared widely. Next, to work together on learning how to scale the generation of variant effect maps, as well as to devise clear standards on how the clinical utility of variant effect maps should be assessed. And finally, to stimulate the development of the next generation of informatic tools making inferences from the data.
Dr. Starita: One of my goals is to ensure we meet the deliverables we have set for the Alliance, such as those Matt has noted. Another goal is developing an understanding of how to use in clinical settings the multi-plex data we have been generating. I also want to broaden the Alliance's membership with more people from different scientific fields, as well as from nations of the world where we currently do not have representation, especially more low and middle-income nations.
Dr. Roth: The key goal is to produce a concrete roadmap toward the shared vision of an Atlas of Variant Effects. We will also be facing some important decisions whether AVE should go beyond providing a vision and coordination, and become an international conduit for directly funding this work.
What are the potential hurdles to reaching those goals and how can those hurdles be overcome? Dr. Hurles: It's essential that we engage with cell biology communities and democratize access to the experimental and analytical technologies and, in turn, leverage the diffuse expertise regarding informative assays that illuminate diverse protein functions. We can learn from the ways cell biologists have rapidly adopted other technologies, such as scRNA-seq, to answer the questions they care about. We need to publish papers and preprints that show the general utility of the technologies and disseminate these opportunities widely.
Dr. Starita: One of those hurdles, as I noted above, is the dearth of representation from experts in low and middle-income nations. One way help overcome this is ensuring a wider outreach, such as AVE's upcoming conference next June 13th and 14th in Toronto. It will have a hybrid structure – both in-person and virtual – with a commensurate fee schedule. I'm hopeful this will broaden not just interest in variant effects, but also will expand our membership. Another challenge, of course, is not yet having funding earmarked specifically for the Alliance's work, but I'm thankful all of us have a strong commitment to the project.
Dr. Roth: A major hurdle will be to convince funders internationally that, not only would an Atlas of Variant Effects offer tremendous benefits for genomic medicine and fundamental biological understanding, but that it is achievable and should be carried out as an open and inclusive international effort.
In 2026, five years from now, what do you believe/expect AVE will have accomplished?
Dr. Hurles: I believe that we will achieve at least two orders of magnitude increase in scale in the generation of variant effect maps. Rather than papers reporting variant effect maps for single genes as now. We will have papers reporting 100+ maps at a time. I see AVE as being a ten-year endeavor, with achieving two orders of magnitude increase in each five-year period.
Dr. Starita: I believe AVE will have a more diverse membership, both in regard to the areas of science and culturally – a more vibrant collection of scientists. And from a science perspective, I am confident we will make important contributions to understanding the effects of genetic variations on the most important genes and to gaining new insights into the so-called "dark matter" matter of the genome – from genes to non-coding variations.
Dr. Roth: I believe that within five years we will shift from the technology development phase to the production phase, and will be collectively testing the functional impact of millions (or tens of millions) of variants per year.

Building upon several decades of collaboration, WPI and the Natick Soldier Research, Development, & Engineering Center (NSRDEC) look to a future of jointly developing innovations to improve the effectiveness and readiness of America's warfighters. Researchers at WPI and NSRDEC are working together to pursue advances in fire science, data and security, aerospace engineering, manufacturing, and robotics.
Working with NSRDEC allows WPI to form active research teams around our shared areas of expertise, and address the problems that need solving. WPI offers training and on-site programming for NSRDEC civilians, scientists, and engineers in various competency areas. In addition, more than 10 percent of NSRDEC's scientific population is the product of WPI's strong pipeline in STEM disciplines.
Presenters from both WPI and NSRDEC come together so researchers from both institutions can identify potential collaborations that can make soldiers' lives easier, healthier, and safer.
The Center for Holographic Studies and Laser micro-mechaTronics (CHSLT) at WPI is currently working with NSRDEC on two research projects aimed at protecting soldiers from hazards that can result in serious bodily and brain injuries and damage to the visual and auditory systems. In particular, CHSLT is seeking to leverage knowledge gained from its laboratory studies and new technologies to develop more effective smart technologies for protecting the eyes and ears, as well as new ways of designing and testing advanced helmets and wearable protection plates, including the use of quantitative ultra-high-speed imaging. The benefits of this work will include the development of unique components and materials, as well as workforce development.
Whether it's collaborating on fire protection engineering research, facilitating on-site graduate degree programs, or providing a pipeline of talent, WPI is helping the U.S. Army Soldier Research, Development & Engineering Center (NSRDEC) solve an important real-world problem: optimizing the performance of soldiers on the battlefield.
WPI is uniquely postured because they have this ability to look at real world problems and help us solve them.
Partnering with WPI has led to innovations over the years such as an evaporative cooling vest for soldiers. The vest is now being used by Army air and armored vehicle crews. Another example, is a student team that designed a containerized kitchen with the goal of getting it ready for the manufacturing process. For more information about other opportunities for collaboration, contact Michael Wright in the Research Solutions Institute.


In the first part of our Fallout Shelter strategy guide, we discussed some general tips for running an effective vault and making good use of your dwellers. In case you missed that first part, we'll give you the lowdown once again on this currently iOS-only game from Bethesda. The game, despite its retro, early-'60s style themes, is actually more post-apocalyptic than anything else. You are, after all, in charge of a "state of the art underground vault" from Vault-Tec, and you're in charge of giving your dwellers jobs, keeping them happy, and protecting them from the dangers of the outside world. And now we're giving you more tips and tricks to help you survive the chaotic world of Fallout Shelter.
We mentioned bottle caps a few times in our first batch of general tips – these are a form of currency in Fallout Shelter. And you can earn more of these by completing in-game achievements. You can also earn more lunchboxes by fulfilling these goals, and we must warn you that both are rather hard to come by. Lunchboxes, by the way, will allow you to unlock more powerful weapons and outfits, as well as more skilled dwellers.
It is possible to rush production of any buildings in your vault that have dwellers inside. But in specific, you should rush production of structures that don't have much risk of incidents taking place. You'll be able to view incident percentages once you're done rushing and completing production, and once you successfully rush production, you'll earn more bottle caps. Failing, however, will result in a random crisis.
Lunchboxes, as we said earlier, give you access to more powerful items and dwellers. But you don't have to cash them in immediately. It would be best to use those lunchboxes when you're in need of more bottle caps, more resources, or more dwellers.
Your vault is essentially where life will be taking place in Fallout Shelter's post-apocalyptic scenario, which means female dwellers definitely can give birth. Dwellers will birth a baby in about three to four hours in real-world time, and while we're not sure if the time lapse cheat (setting your device's time forward) would work to speed up the process, we can tell you for sure that more babies means a faster-growing population for your vault.
While it's all well and good that female dwellers can give birth, you wouldn't want too many of them pregnant, as pregnant dwellers wouldn't be able to fend for themselves in the event of a disaster. Resource production should also be monitored closely, as a larger population means larger consumption. In that case, you may want to forgo the whole time lapse business (assuming it works) and focus instead on prepping your resources in the three to four hours it takes for a dweller to give birth.
Do you need more tips and tricks on building the perfect vault in Fallout Shelter? If the answer is yes, then be sure to check out the third part of our strategy guide, which contains some more tips on this topic.

Nina's Memento Mori
By Purple Owl - October 22, 2019
Sometimes pain tends to get masked behind a sense of narcissism, especially when it involves your significant other. Nina's Memento Mori is a kind of self introspection that the author indulges in as he writes about himself remembering his wife. He focuses on himself as he narrates incidents revolving around his wife. This elegy is more of an autobiography as per me. Mathias does write straight from the heart. Some readers might find it hard to relate through the narration, however, those who have lost their spouses to death would very well understand the emotions underlying this piece of writing. There are breaks in the narration but these are like deliberate attempts to both break the monotony in writing as well as to portray the train of thoughts as they happened. The language is not simple but that is a trademark of a writer with vast amount of writing experience behind him. To say that Nina was his inspiration to write would be an understatement. In fact, she is exa
Secret Magic: Evie Everyday Witch
Every child is unique, a universal truth. However, the moment he or she is able to discover the magic within him or her, it becomes priceless. Unfortunately, the very need to be accepted by peer group might hamper the child's development. The plot revolves around Evie Everyday, a witch who has magical powers within her. But she prefers to change herself and hide her magic so that she is liked by her friends. But does this turn out to be in her favour? Well, to know that please read about Evie in this delightfully wonderful story. Elena Paige is a writer to look out for because she creates magic in this piece of her writing. The language used caters for the reading needs of 9 to 11 years old children. The writer also uses imageries extensively. These imageries are vivid and appealing. The only major issue I found as I read it out to my 6 year old was that the narrative was a bit jerky. There were breaks which could have been avoided. Despite the discontinuity, the story is
Shorts: Nina's Memento Mori
Near the end of Nabokov's Lolita, Humbert makes an honest admission: "[A]nd it struck me...that I simply did not know a thing about my darling's mind." That line sums up the isolate game of memorializing a deceased loved one, which is the basic tension in Nina's Memento Mori, an elegy to Mathias Freese's lost wife. The profound responsibility of answering the question "Who was Nina?" is left to the lone memoirist: I can say or write anything I want about her...There is much writerly power in that. I am the executor of her probate in all things now. She is mine now in ways she could not be when alive. I am the steward of her memory. Freese ends up analyzing himself, putting the "me" in "memento" and the "i" in "mori," thanks to ever-giving Nina posthumously providing a therapeutic mirror or "Rosebud," which Freese appropriates from Citizen Kane . But Freese mourns more over the burden of exis
Shorts: Near Death In The Gila National Forest

It's 1971 and a university art instructor has just been informed that his contract won't be renewed. His life is spiraling out of control. He decides to set out on a solo hiking trip across the U.S. Two men, offer to pay him $50,000, to set up a drug deal in Mexico. He agrees to do it, with the hopes that he will finally be financially secure. In 4,500 miles, he encounters a 7-day rock festival in the woods, an invitation to a lynching, Mexican drug dealers, near death in the wilderness, a spiritual awakening and a ride with a Hell's Angel. His exploration covers homelessness in Haight-Ashbury, an urban, mega-warehouse commune, a bizarre New Year's Eve and a stabbing in a cheap hotel. He learns to cope with vigorous hardships of nature and living off the land; hitchhiking and sleeping in strangers' homes. After the drug deal fails, his designs for a unique energy-efficient building system score him a collaboration with a prestigious, San Francisco architecture firm. He unsu
Ivan The Terrible
The book promises to do what it aims to do. It helps introduce and bring out facets of a russian tsar, all under 60 minutes. The book is a quick read and gives out glimpses of a man who is considered to be a psychopath in the history books on Russia. The writing is really simple and can be easily understood. The best part of this book is the fact that all possible facets of this fascinatingly despicable Tsar of Russia has been covered. The imageries are vibrant. Though this book offers snippets only, it does kindle the desire to read up more about this tyrannt. A very well written work for sure. The entire theme revolves around Ivan and all possible facets of his characters have been well brought out. To sum up, if you are a history buff and would love to read about russian history then this is a must read for you. It is concise and short, however, it guarantees to inculcate a sense of curiosity in the readers for sure. P.S- Thank you Tyler for an amazing read. This is
Fight For The Kingdom
By Purple Owl - January 02, 2019
What an awesome story! I was transported back to my childhood where I grew up reading about fairies, dragons and princesses. The plot revolves around two brothers and a camp. I can't reveal more except that it is a fantasy if that is your genre. On thee whole, the book is a definite must read. The language is simple and the narrative is compelling. There are no breaks in the narration and that is the best part. There are loads of imageries, visual, aural, tactile. These mental pictures when replicated, on the big screen or the television as a series, would create a blockbuster for sure. Writing for children is not an easy task. Victoria writes while retaining the childlike innocence of all its characters. Hence, kudos to her for penning a story that transports the reader to the lands of magic and fantasy. Besides Aiden and his brother, there are many other characters. Thankfully, they support the storyline and enhance the plot. The characters have been etched out clearly

Longport is taking steps towards introducing a smoking ban that would prohibit cigarettes and cigars on public parks, buildings, and beaches.
If approved, beachgoers don't have to worry about secondhand smoke but smokers have to find a place to smoke elsewhere, which could be inconvenient.
Shore News Today reports the Board of Commissioners introduced the ordinance on February 22. The hope is that the ban would prevent children from being exposed to secondhand smoke, and being tempted to experiment with cigarettes.
If this ordinance goes through, violators can face fines up to $1,000. A public hearing for the ordinance will take place on March 22 at 4:30 pm.

With a new staff, new program and groundbreaking for a new facility, the Don Ryan Center for Innovation seems primed for growing new companies of the future.
The ceremonial groundbreaking was held Nov. 14 at the new site, not far from the original building, in Buckwalter Place Commerce Park.
Bluffton Mayor Lisa Sulka presided over the event, with Town Council members joining her and officials of DRCI.
The Bluffton-based 501(c)(3) business incubator opened in 2012 to help startup companies and empower innovators. "We've graduated close to 40 companies and mentored and worked with many more," said Trent Williamson, CEO of DRCI. "Graduate companies have created 100-plus jobs. They have generated more than $5 million in annual payroll and another $30 million in annual revenue."
The new 3,000-square-foot space will offer an open and flexible design that allows for classroom-style meetings as well as co-working space with open and dedicated desks. A conference room equipped with state of the art AV equipment will also be included.
"The entire facility will offer fiber internet capabilities. We are looking for as many ways as possible to create 'collisions' for innovative-minded people in our community and this facility will be a great resource to do that," Williamson said.
Among the standout success stories to date are Elongator, Taylor Offshore, Monroney Labels, Green Bug and Village Features.
Williamson said that the center looks for companies that are a good fit for the area's "unique setting and unparalleled way of life. For the business incubator-accelerator program, we are looking for entrepreneurs and innovators who have an idea that is scalable to a sustainable business."
Guiding those with innovative ideas but little experience in setting up a company will be Charles Wohl, DRCI's new vice president of innovation, who has built a completely new acceleration and incubation program that Williamson said will provide great value to entrepreneurs in the region.
Wohl's extensive background includes launching the Innovators in the Woods program in Houston. "That was a clean tech program that focused on sustainability, clean water, clean air, environmentally friendly companies - all of the things that are near and dear to the hearts of people in Bluffton," Wohl said.
Innovators in the Woods was a partnership of the Houston Technology Center and the Houston Advanced Research Center.
Wohl's responsibilities will be to run the DRCI's incubation and acceleration programs, doing the mentoring and coaching for early stage companies.
"We're doing a reset with new staff, building a new program, setting a path for long term," Wohl added. "I get to work all the various pieces and components of all that, from finding builders and advisors to investors."
The acceleration program is an 11-week curriculum where the prospective new businesses attend class three hours one day a week, said Wohl, adding it is "basically teaching Entrepreneurship 101."
The course will include everything someone needs to think about when starting a business. In addition to presentations, there will be outside guest speakers who will talk on everything from intellectual property to legal structure and formation of a corporation, tax structures, types of insurance needed, the importance of marketing and branding and the benefit of learning from the experiences of other entrepreneurs.
"It's a safe, quick, top-level way to find out if you're serious about doing it," Wohl said.
The industries the center is targeting for economic development goals include technology space, biomedical/health care, corporate headquarters, aerospace and information technology.
Williamson said the center's goal is to help Bluffton and the surrounding area become known for being a place where entrepreneurs and innovative companies can flourish.
"Established, primary-industry companies feed off the energy of startups and innovative organizations so we think our organization is building a healthy mix," he said.
Bluffton area residents can also join the DRCI by becoming a member - business plan not required. Williamson said various levels of membership include complimentary registration for monthly events, insider information and the opportunities to connect with business mentors and consultants.
The primary goal, though, will be to attract and grow a diverse community of innovative companies by mentoring and guiding the creators. The staff and mentors at the DRCI will not be building the companies, the innovators will.
"They're not putting their plans in the hands of anybody," said Wohl. "They're doing everything. They're just getting outside mentoring and coaching. We're just helping make a more encouraging and conducive environment for success."

Some Thoughts on Goal Setting, Objectives, and Measurements
Dean L. Larsen
of the Seventy
I am grateful, brothers and sisters, for the invitation that brings me here today. It is always a privilege to be on this campus and to participate in any way in the important processes that go forward here. I am especially grateful to be here as a part of this devotional today and trust that the Spirit of the Lord will bless us so that the things I have prepared will be carried into your hearts and understandings with some edification and some benefit for you. I would like to share with you today some thoughts on setting goals and measuring progress.
Much has been said and written in recent years about the value of goal setting and the importance of guiding our lives toward certain predetermined objectives. This process has taken on many of the aspects of an exact science. It has found expression in the world of education in the form of behavioral objectives, and in the corporate and industrial world it manifests itself in a "management-by-objective" philosophy. Some individuals feel that unless each hour of each day is programmed to achieve specific objectives, life cannot be lived to the fullest, and personal potential is being cheated. In fact, this general notion has become so universally accepted that to question the value of goal setting in the achievement of any public or private enterprise is no longer rational in the general point of view.
Setting goals and objectives to guide one's efforts toward accomplishment is one of the processes of human dynamics that can be demonstrated to yield positive results. It is a process, however, that can also be restricting and limiting when it is distorted or misguided. It is important to hold this process in the right perspective when we seek to understand the principles that lead to human progress.
An important distinction must be made between the potentially confining process of setting goals and objectives and the more encompassing need of having a general purpose in life. This distinction is more than a play on words. One's purpose in life has an overriding influence upon what he does with his time, energy, and resources. It can also have a profound effect upon how he relates to other people. Without this purpose life has no compass. Within the framework of such a purpose, there is an acceptable place for much spontaneity and flexibility. Indeed, without this freedom life can become stilted and sterile, and much of the potential for progressive inspiration and renewal can be thwarted. Unless the goals and objectives an individual works toward are harmonious with his general purpose in life, a devastating kind of internal conflict can develop that is destructive to happiness and personal development. Appropriate, useful goals and objectives must be a direct outgrowth of one's perceived purpose in life. Otherwise they can lead to a random expenditure of effort and resources that may not contribute effectively to long-range progress.
Purpose entails much that is qualitative. It does not always lend itself to quantitative measurement in terms of numbers, percentages, size, and volume. In today's material world most objectives are considered to be meaningless unless they are expressed in quantitative terms and are susceptible to measurement within these terms.
It is important for us to bear in mind that worthwhile goals and objectives can be of a qualitative nature as well as a quantitative one; that is, they can relate to the quality of people, things, and relationships as well as to numbers and size. In a materialistic society much more attention and validity seem to be attached to quantitative goals, probably because they are more easily measured and reflect more directly profit and loss, material growth, and production. This should not lead to the conclusion that attainments of a qualitative nature are less important than those that lend themselves to easy numerical measurement. In fact, in the realm of moral and spiritual things, qualities may be much more significant than quantities. The nature of one's relationship to others may have more significance and more value than his "productivity."
There is no conclusive evidence that setting and working toward quantitative objectives always and inevitably produces beneficial qualitative effects in one's life. Indeed, a too-intent focus upon the acquisition or production of quantities of things may actually obscure the need for qualitative development, and in the world of spiritual things, such a condition could be an obstruction to the achievement of the goals that matter most.
The material world places a high premium on quantitative things. Gross national product, profit margins, sales and production quotas, interest rates are the substance of corporate life and death. Men and women ascend to positions of power and authority on the basis of their ability to produce, and on their capacity to get others to do the same. In this arena product can easily be thought of as having greater importance than people. People can be viewed as a means to enhance production. Success and achievement can become product-centered. Product is measurable. Goals and objectives in this environment are generally and understandably of a quantitative nature. Survival depends on it.
Interestingly, such a focus upon attaining measurable objectives seems to generate a tendency to program production methods and procedures in order to guarantee acceptable production levels. This can apply to the attainment of sales quotas as well as to quotas of materials that flow from the production line. It can be effectively demonstrated that programming and regimentation of procedure will result in acceptable minimum production levels and thus provide a safe profit margin. Systems, processes, and programs therefore become essential in most profit-making enterprises.
Offering material incentives to stimulate sales or production is also a common practice. Competition is generally intense—competition for notoriety and power as well as for material rewards. All of this contributes toward increased production. In this atmosphere of competition and struggle for preeminence, the adage "When performance is measured, performance improves" generally holds true, especially when position and compensation are at stake. When objectives can be expressed quantitatively in terms of profit and loss and when peoples' continued employment and promise of reward are based upon meeting these objectives, then the management-by-objective system becomes a reasonable and profitable approach to administration.
Whether this approach can be applied with equal success to the attainment of spiritual and moral qualities is open to question. Spiritual qualities do not necessarily develop in the same environment as that which fosters the attributes upon which such high value is placed in the material world, nor can they always be accurately measured in a quantitative way. This is not to suggest that qualities of the spirit are not susceptible to assessment. But they must be assessed by spiritual means. They often reflect from individual lives in an observable way. They are closely associated with feelings, attitudes, commitments, and perceptions, but they are not always easily measured in a quantitative way at arbitrarily established audit periods.
At one time Elder Adam S. Bennion drew attention to the fact that Abraham Lincoln probably saw his first slave auction when he was about sixteen. While this experience undoubtedly left a profound impression upon the young man, he did not go back to his home and immediately produce the Emancipation Proclamation. The additional encounters and experiences that brought Lincoln to a position of commitment and a course of action in opposition to slavery all made their contributions to the final outcome, but their individual effect was not overtly measurable at particular points in his early life. One's assessment of what was happening in his consciousness and conviction would likely have depended upon more subtle perceptions and discernment.
The same is so often true of one who experiences conversion to the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This conversion process can be a lengthy one. It can have a profound effect upon one's purpose in life. But its progress cannot always be accurately assessed by measurable performance at arbitrary points in time.
Those who attempt to measure qualitative growth with a quantitative measuring system of necessity must look for a "product." This product generally takes the form of some overt behavior or performance that can be counted and evaluated numerically. The frequency or regularity with which the performance is given is taken to be a direct reflection of the quality of commitment possessed by the individual who is being measured. Those who rely upon this kind of assessment often submit to the temptation to program for specific kinds of measurable performances, presumably related to the qualities desired in the individual. These performances are taken to be a direct evidence of internal commitment and conviction. Since the numbers or percentages now "produced" by the responsive individual become the prime measuring rod of his devotion, the tendency increases to program and regiment specified kinds of behavior so that the numbers and percentages will look good. Those who devise the programs and prescribe the activities must now demonstrate their success on the basis of the numbers produced.
In this process the importance of people and their intrinsic qualities can easily become subverted to the need for their production of measurable data. If the data is good, the people are presumed to be progressing qualitatively as well. The thesis that produces this system requires that this conclusion have validity. Unfortunately, there is much of history and experience to prove that the system does not always work. Inevitably it has produced discrepancies and distortions. Such was the case with the children of Israel under the law of Moses. Outward performance, that which the apostle Paul referred to as the "works of the Law," became the primary objective.
One of the most difficult challenges for the apostle Paul and other missionaries in the meridian of times was the unyielding loyalty of the converted Jews to the ritualism and outward performances of the law of Moses. Even those who accepted Christ and became baptized members of his church had great difficulty in relinquishing their ties to the old law. Apparently, many of them insisted on perpetuating, even after baptism, the programs and practices that had been developed over many years by the Jewish religious leaders. Some of them insisted that gentile converts to the Church also adopt the practices of the law. Obviously, they attached an efficacy to these performances and rituals that they could not easily discard.
Their insistence on perpetuating these things within the new Church was a constant source of concern for Paul. It was even an occasional cause for discord and misunderstanding among Church leaders, as Paul indicates in his letter to the Galatians. (See Gal. 2:11.) There is evidence in the book of Acts that some Christian Jews followed in the footsteps of Paul and his missionary successes, attempting to convince Paul's converts that they must now adopt the programs of the Jewish law as well as the principles of the restored gospel. This led to a major controversy in the Church and precipitated a general-level leadership conference in Jerusalem that Paul attended to represent the views of the gentile saints.
The account of this conference, which can be found in the fifteenth chapter of Acts, is most revealing. It discloses the intense loyalty that many Church leaders still felt toward the programs and procedures of the old law. This loyalty was obviously an outgrowth of a deep-set conviction on the part of some Church leaders that the "works of the law" were essential to salvation and that individual progress and perfection could not occur without a strict observance of the rituals. After "much disputing" at this conference, Peter made an attempt at a compromise that would free the gentile converts from adherence to the provisions of the law, but that would apparently allow the Jewish Christians to continue their old practices if they chose to do so. While Peter's recommendation was accepted by this conference, it is apparent that the issue was not settled. Adherents to the practices within the Law of Moses continued to press for an acceptance of their position, and many years later, when Paul visited Jerusalem once again, he encountered the same controversy. (See Acts 21:17–24.)
This loyalty to and affinity for programs that were an outgrowth of the ritualism and regimentation of the past proved to be a great obstacle to accepting the simple, basic principles that the gospel of Christ provided. For the converted Jews, whose lives had been so filled with the programmed requirements of the law, and whose religious commitment had been demonstrated by their outward observance of these requirements, the religious life outlined by the gospel of Christ must have seemed very open and unregulated. It was not easy for them to leave the feeling of security provided by the total regimentation of the Jewish law. Obviously, they could not understand how the gentile saints could possibly be trusted to develop any of the qualities prescribed by the new beliefs without the same set of regulations and programs to guide them and fill up their lives.
As the Savior confronted this same problem among the Jews, he not only decried the meaningless machinations that the law had imposed upon them, but he blamed this outward ritualism for having crowded out of their lives the qualities of virtue, charity, and compassion that were so important to the life plan that he reintroduced. He accused the Pharisees and scribes of fostering this hypocrisy, and to them he said,
Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. [Mark 7:6,8]
He accused them of being like whited sepulchres, impressive in their outward show, but inside full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. (See Matt. 23:27.)
It appears that the Savior was not only concerned with the unproductive expenditure of effort required by the programmed processes of the law, but he was also alert to the inevitable diversion from the development of the important inward qualities of life that are so essential to salvation.
Paul attacked this same problem in his great admonition to the Corinthian Saints on the subject of charity (see 1 Cor. 13). To the Galatians who had begun to experience the freedom offered by the gospel of Christ, Paul said,
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. . . .
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. [Gal. 5:1–2, 6]
There is sometimes the danger that the true purpose of an endeavor can be lost in the compulsion to make the records look good. As an example of this, I cite an incident recently related to me by a young wife who had just gone through the trauma of losing a baby through premature birth. Throughout the month of semiconfinement that preceded this misfortune, members of the Relief Society in this sister's ward made frequent calls on her to comfort her, to bring meals for the family, and to be of general assistance. Their caring concern and attention had been much appreciated.
Following her release from the hospital, this sister deeply felt the need to spend some private time with her scriptures and in prayerful quest for understanding. She reported that on a day close to the end of the month she was at home alone, particularly impressed and inspired by some part of the scriptures she had been reading. A sweet spirit of peace and consolation rested upon her, and she felt a closeness to the Lord and the reality of his love in a way she had never before experienced.
She was absorbed in this experience when the telephone rang. She reluctantly answered, only to find that it was one of the Relief Society sisters who had been in her home several times earlier in the month. On this occasion the call was to solicit a time during the day when an official visit could be made to present the visiting teaching lesson for the month. When the sister who related this incident to me asked to forego the lesson in view of the fact that the visiting teachers had already been in her home several times during the month, and more especially because she did not wish to have her restoring interlude with the scriptures interrupted, she was reminded that this was the last day of the month. On the earlier visits the official lesson for the month had not been presented. Therefore, the visits could not be counted.
Reluctantly, the ailing sister left her scriptures and cleaned her house in preparation for her visiting teachers. The spirit of the morning was lost and was replaced by a feeling of resentment and hurt. The visiting teachers' perfect record remained intact—but at what cost?
As members of the Church and human beings in general reach for a higher level of moral and spiritual attainment, they will be required to more clearly define the principal purposes in life. They will need to be motivated more toward the qualities of life associated with this kind of existence than toward the quantities of things they can produce or acquire. Historically people have always achieved their highest levels in material acquisitions as a by-product of their attainment of high spiritual and moral qualities. It has never occurred in reverse order as to time sequence nor as to priority.
Goals and objectives within the framework of life's true purpose can be helpful in motivating and maintaining general direction. The more important of these will be of a qualitative nature and their achievement must be evaluated more by discernment and observation than by quantitative measurement. In such an environment the doctrines of the priesthood will distill upon the people as the dews from heaven. Whatever dominion is achieved by man over himself or over material things will come then not by compulsion, but as a natural and inevitable result of his having qualified for such an endowment. (See D&C 84.) In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Honda's first production jet takes off from North Carolina
Mon, 30 Jun 2014 09:27:00 EST
Plenty of automakers have backgrounds in aircraft manufacturing. BMW, Bristol, Mitsubishi, Saab and Spyker all started out in the airplane business. But Honda is going the opposite direction, expanding its automotive (not to mention motorcycle, ATV, marine engine and power equipment) business with the launch of the HondaJet. And that project has just taken a big step forward.
After starting production a year and a half ago, the Japanese industrial giant recently completed its first customer HondaJet, and has now taken that initial production aircraft to the skies for its landmark first flight. The aircraft left the production facility in Greensboro and took off on Friday morning from Piedmont Triad International Airport in North Carolina - the same state where the Wright Brothers undertook their first flight over a century ago.
The HondaJet undertook an 84-minute test flight, climbing to 15,500 feet and reaching a speed of 348 knots. That works out to 400 miles per hour - assuredly faster than any Honda (save for maybe a prototype for the same aircraft) has traveled before. The aircraft is designed to cruise at a maximum of 420 knots (483 mph) and reach a maximum altitude of 43,000 feet.
Honda accused of not reporting all airbag problems
Fri, 17 Oct 2014 11:00:00 EST
The Takata airbag recall that has afflicted a number of automakers may have just taken a very bad turn for Honda, which has already recalled over one million vehicles. Clarence Ditlow and the Center for Auto Safety have accused the Japanese manufacturer of failing to report two "injury-and-death" incidents. To determine just what happened, the company has initiated a third-party audit.
According to Bloomberg, CAS claims Honda failed to report fatalities in 2009 and 2013, a point Honda doesn't seem to contest, indicating that it didn't report so-called "verbal claims."
"It is our understanding that some manufacturers choose to include these types of verbal claims, and that these constitute the majority of the injury-and-death claims that they report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration," the company told Bloomberg via email. "We believe this practice accounts for the vast majority of the difference between the total number of injury-and-death claims reported by Honda compared to certain other manufacturers."
Ugly Moto makes beautiful motorcycle art [w/video]
Thu, 08 May 2014 19:16:00 EST
Ugly Moto is a horrible name for a company that makes such wonderful motorcycle art. The creation of artist Francis Ooi, the company's illustrations focus on some of the iconic racing bikes of the 1960s and 1970s.
The artwork has an elegant simplicity that really makes it pop. It would fit just about anywhere from a home office to the bedroom of a young gearhead. Ooi has completed six illustrations so far covering classic cycles from Honda, Ducati, Yamaha and even Harley-Davidson. According to his site, the Suzuki RGB500 ridden by Barry Sheene will be the next one released. All of the prints are priced at $65 and are limited to 100 copies. They are all about 16.53 inches by 23.58 inches in size.
According to his website, these prints are just a hobby for Ooi and his real career is as the creative director at an ad agency. He creates the illustrations on his Mac, and he estimates that each design with about 800 components and layers takes about a month to complete. You can get idea of the process involved in the time-lapse video below.

Thitinart graduated from the University of London at the age of 20 with two master's degrees in Economics and Business Administration.[3] Following graduation, at the age of 25, she launched her own diamond retail business - opening nine stores in Thailand within one month.[1]
Personal hardship and new beginnings[edit]
In 1997, her husband died at the age of 34 of an accident, leaving Thitinart with an 11-month-old son to care for and a debt inheritance of 3 Million US Dollars. It was at this point that she began exploring Buddhist meditation to help provide insight and inner contentment. Within two years, she had managed to pay off the debt.[4]
Thitinart retired from the diamond business at the age of 35, and relocated from Bangkok to live a "peaceful life" with her son in Hua Hin and then Sriracha. She spent time volunteering and teaching meditation and spiritual to various organizations, studied Happiness Sciences, Hypnotherapy, NLP, Behavioral Science, and began work on the first title in what would become the Life Compass books series.[5]
The Life Compass and teachings[edit]
Her first book, entitled "The Life Compass", was published in Thailand in December 2004. Since then, several more books in the Life Compass series have been released.[6] In 2013, the first English language-edition of The Compass of Now was released, published through The Life Compass Ltd. To date, Thitinart's books have sold more than 1.5million copies worldwide.
Her teachings, which blend traditional Buddhist thought with modern mind technique, provide guidance to students and readers on learning how to clear and focus the mind, deal with emotional and anger issues, work through fears and challenges, and find emotional and financial freedom.[4] In 2013, Thitinart demonstrated some of these techniques during an interview with Thai TV presenter Woody Milintachinda on his chat show 'Woody Kerd Ma Kui'.[7]
Thitinart is the founder of Life Compass Ltd, which hosts regular meditation retreats throughout the year in Thailand. She also gives speeches at prisons, hospitals, military bases, police forces, temples, schools, universities and government organizations throughout Thailand, and talks at venues worldwide.[8]
In 2013, Thitinart was selected as one of the '100 Greatest Thinkers of Thailand' by Thai magazine "A Day Bulletin". Her story is featured in "100 Interview The Thinker" Hard Copy Book.[9]

A lot has changed, and nowadays most of the people are using wallpapers for painting the interior of their buildings. You find that this is acting as a replacement to the coating paint that was originally used for such exercises. In this article, we are going to discuss some of the many benefits of wallpapers that you should know.
To begin with it is beneficial to install wallpapers because it has the wide variety of decorative options.

One thing that you should understand is that paints do come in different colors, but you will still need the services of a professional painter to create designs and patterns which might cost you an additional fee.
Besides, it is better to use wallpapers that paint because they help in protecting the errors on the walls. You should understand that when you apply paint to block the imperfections will still be visible which will make the wall to look bad even after painting work. While the wallpapers are mounted on top of the wall with imperfections making it hard to see the faults, and it will always be in good condition.

Wars, Events
Kiaulune, here labeled as "Shadowcatch", and surrounding lands
The Kiaulune wars were a series of conflicts, lasting for a total of five years, between the Black Company and its military allies against the Protectorate. The Kiaulune wars took place during the first 5 years of the 15-year gap between She Is the Darkness and Water Sleeps. They are only mentioned in retrospect in the available Annals. The result was the decisive defeat of the Company.
During the Kiaulune wars, the Black Company was led by its Annalist, Sleepy, and her ally, Ky Sahra. They were desperately outclassed in terms of sorcery and resources. The Protectorate was ruled by Soulcatcher, who appointed Mogaba to be the Great General of her armies.
Before Water Sleeps Edit
Immediately before the Kiaulune wars (at the end of She Is the Darkness), Soulcatcher trapped the Black Company's leadership (the "Captured") beneath the glittering plain. She then seized control of Taglios and declared herself its Protector.
After Soulcatcher was resisted by the remainder of the Black Company, she set out to destroy them. The fighting took place near the city of Kiaulune, the fortress Overlook, and the wider Shadowlands in general.
The Company remained safe in Overlook for the 5 years of fighting, as the structure had been hardened against sorcery by Longshadow. From there, the Company mounted assaults on Soulcatcher's newly-consolidated Protectorate forces. A final crushing blow came when the Bahrata Battalion was betrayed by the Company defector Khusavir Pete and was wiped out by Protectorate forces at Kushkhoshi. During this bloodbath, about 500 people (containing many Company brothers but mostly consisting of the Company's "largest surviving force of allies") were lost. This marked the defeat of the Company and an end to the Kiaulune wars. Soulcatcher emerged from the war as the undisputed ruler of both Taglios and the former Shadowlands, collectively the Protectorate.
Aftermath Edit
After the Kiaulune wars ended, the Company survivors remained holed up in Overlook for at least 2 years. Their presence was not a secret. Soulcatcher eventually devoted her entire attention to obliterating Overlook itself with a specially crafted sorcery, a task which took 2 years. The remaining Company members and allies secretly moved north and dispersed into the urban sprawl of Taglios. The Company became an underground movement, and was secretly headquartered in a warehouse on the banks of the great river owned by their elderly Nyueng Bao collaborator Banh Do Trang. The subsequent events are detailed in Water Sleeps.
Black Company veterans Edit
When the Black Company transformed into an underground urban guerrilla movement in Taglios, its backbone was comprised of veterans of the Kiaulune wars. Prominent such veterans were:
Sleepy (the Annalist and ranking officer)
the elderly wizards One-Eye and Goblin
both Singh brothers: Runmust and Iqbal
Although not explicitly mentioned as such, these other Company men were almost certainly veterans of the wars as well:
Kendo Cutter
both Gupta brothers
The following close-knit Nyueng Bao allies were also veterans:
Ky Gota
Thien Duc (presumably)

Q: INPUT type Image with onclick doesn't work with JS Newbie coder here. I'm making a rating website, and am trying to make it so that when user click "Yes" as an image, it invoke a JS which display an Ajax loader gif and then shows the results. Problem is that onclick here doesn't seem to trigger the function:
<form action="" method="get" id="myform">

    <input type="image" src="images/yes.png" name="yes" value="0" onclick="$('#myform').submit();"/>

</form>

Instead of $('#myform').submit(), if I try an alert(), it works, so I'm puzzled as to why this doesn't work.
Thanks!!

A: try using: .trigger("submit")
more info: http://api.jquery.com/trigger/
And if that doesnt work the only thing I can think of is having a blank action attribute in your form tag...

A: It might have to do with the fact that type=image has a default behavior of submitting when clicked. This could cause interference with your submit() function.


Level C is recommended for either 2nd or 3rd grade classrooms.
2: Where Does Money Come From?
Students love working with the Money Savvy Pig piggy bank and, of course, receiving one of their very own to use in the classroom and ultimately take home. They relate to the hands-on-activities, two per lesson that simulate real life experiences and will enjoy singing along to the catchy "History of Money" song. There are also newsletters to take home to start the dialogue between parent and child. All instructional materials are included.
Total teaching time required: 6 hrs. Pre-requisite: None.
Note: The Licensing Agreement for the Money Savvy Kids curriculum requires the purchase one set of instructor materials per classroom and one student bundle (one Student Workbook and one Money Savvy Pig) per pupil. Instructor materials may be reused from year to year.


The move by AIB to create a new housing development fund will help generate more house building and boost construction activity around the country, according to the CIF.
However the Federation has also warned for the provision of finance to be meaningful, the terms and conditions around the fund will need to reflect the current market conditions.
In recent years there has been a very limited level of development finance made available to Irish construction companies. This has impacted on the level of housing being built around the country.
Furthermore where development finance has been made available, Irish construction companies those seeking it have been required to provide a very high level of equity for the development project in question. Equity regularly represented 50% or more of the total value of the development project has been required.
The CIF cautions that with the construction industry in this country having gone through 7 years of decline, Irish construction companies do not have access to that level of equity.
"We welcome the announcement by AIB that they have put together a €350m development finance fund that will help increase the level of construction and supply of new homes in Dublin, Cork and Galway," said CIF Director General Tom Parlon. "This is a positive initiative which is badly needed. The CIF has been meeting with the main financial lending institutions in the country in recent months and stressing the need for this type of fund to be put together. So we are delighted to see that AIB have taken this suggestion on board.
"However the terms and conditions around the AIB fund and other development finance will need to reflect the current practicalities of the market if this finance is to be used. Irish construction companies do not have access to large levels of equity at this moment in time. If we want to see more house building taking place in the areas where it is needed, then the equity requirements will have to be manageable and realistic. Otherwise that financing will go unused and will not boost the supply of extra housing where the market is demanding it," Mr. Parlon concluded.

Q: Stacking DataFrame with pd.concat - including column names I have a DataFrame that looks like this:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("Stream_Deaths.csv", index_col="Date", parse_dates=["Date"])
df = df.T
df = df.loc["3/11/2020":]
print(df.head())
#Output

Date           Europe  Americas        Asia   Oceania    Africa        US  \#etc
3/11/2020  120.571429  4.000000   69.285714  0.142857  0.285714  3.571429
3/12/2020  142.000000  4.714286   76.142857  0.142857  0.428571  4.142857
3/13/2020  188.285714  5.714286   83.571429  0.142857  0.857143  5.000000
3/14/2020  222.857143  6.857143   93.857143  0.142857  1.000000  5.857143

I then use pd.concat to stack the DataFrame:
df_stacked = pd.concat([df["Europe"], df["Americas"], df["Asia"], df["Oceania"], df["Africa"],
            df["US"], df["Brazil"], df["Mexico"], df["UK"], df["Rest of Europe"],
            df["Rest of Latam"],df["India"],df["Rest of Asia"], df["Rest of North America"],
            df["Canada"],df["Bermuda"],df["Greenland"]],
                       axis=0, ignore_index=False)
print(df_stacked.head())
#Output

3/11/2020    120.571429
3/12/2020    142.000000
3/13/2020    188.285714
3/14/2020    222.857143
3/15/2020    272.285714

How would I include the column names as an index for the DataFrame? I have tried using the names option in pd.concat but haven't had any luck so far.
My desired output:
Europe    3/11/2020    120.571429
Europe    3/12/2020    142.000000
Europe    3/13/2020    188.285714
Europe    3/14/2020    222.857143
Europe    3/15/2020    272.285714
...
Americas  3/11/2020    120.571429
Americas  3/12/2020    142.000000
Americas  3/13/2020    188.285714
Americas  3/14/2020    222.857143
Americas  3/15/2020    272.285714
#etc

A: IIUC, Try:
df.melt('Date')

Output:

Who would have thought that such a brilliant comment could come from a show like Gilmore Girls?
There is nothing quite so frustrating for a student than to face a writer's block right in the middle of paper season. Especially when you're so close to being finished this one major paper......but you just can't quite figure out how to write a critique on Dooyeweerd's "The Great Synthesis". Craig Bartholomew is a wonderful man, but I have a hard enough time trying to understand this stuff let alone analysing it and forming my own opinions it.
I know that I always say this, but I really am very sick of school.
So I ended up getting permission to go on the Montreal Mission Trip, and I'm glad I went. It was a lot of fun meeting new Redeemer people, hanging out with a bunch of first years for eight hours there and eight hours back in an eleven seater van, playing pool etc. with the Seafarers and learning how to speak Russian. Well, learning how to say "yes" and "no" in Russian...(that would be "da" and "niet"). Good times. The one drawback to the whole trip was having to sleep for three nights on the floor of a church nursery. I think we should have brought a chiropractor with us. On the bright side, I've developed a new-found appreciation for my mattress.
I'm getting tired of writing papers and I've only just started working on them. I finished an 11-pager this afternoon and handed it in, but seeing as how the whole thing was based on personal reflection and not on library research I have a hard time justifying it as an actual paper. The next two will likely be not so pleasant to write. (I think of that paper discussing Dooyeweerd for my philosophy class...my brain hurts just thinking about how much time I'm going to have to spend pondering...) Yet again on the bright side, there's only just over a month until this semester is done and I'm finally on my last semester here at Redeemer.

John Rich Shares Old Voicemail From the Late President George H.W. Bush [Listen]
Annie Reuter
While the country mourns the loss of former President George H.W. Bush, John Rich recalls receiving a voicemail years ago from him. The singer shared a voicemail from the late President on his Instagram following his death.
While on TODAY, Rich explained that the late President was returning his previous call where he sang a song he wrote called "The Good Lord and The Man." Rich penned the song for his grandfather, who was a World War II veteran. It was featured on his third solo album, Son of a Preacher Man.
. @johnrich wrote a song that got the attention of former President George H.W. Bush and shares the touching voicemail the President left for him. pic.twitter.com/h8RSrCySKR
— TODAY (@TODAYshow) December 6, 2018
"The President had heard about the song so for his birthday I called and I left it on his voicemail and sang the whole song," John recalls. "I played phone tag with the President. I'm almost glad I missed the call because now I have that."
In the voicemail, Bush thanks John for his voicemail and admits that he's about to parachute out of a plane.
"John, this is George Bush. We're setting up in Maine. The beautiful one just gave me this message for me, a song. I'm very touched by it. I love your music and I love this song particularly so you're guaranteeing me a happy 85th birthday," he says. "[I'm] making a quick parachute jump providing the weather clears up. It's messy up here. Wishing you were here but thank you for this sweet message."
Received this voicemail right at Mr Presidents 85th birthday! What a true statesman and American hero. George Bush 🇺🇸🇺🇸 RIP #respect #georgebush #americanhero #america
