Mothers of Intention — The Girl Revolution's Fit Girl Series: Whose Body Is It Anyway?


Have you ever uttered one of these phrases?
"…" Also known as silence.
The discussion on women in leadership roles has been a hot topic lately following the publication of the book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook. Many people in the conversation have suggested one possible reason women are not as likely to climb the career ladder is because we often don't self-promote. There is a stigma that women who are confident and point out their strong skills are somehow unpleasant whereas men doing the same thing are born leaders. Agree or disagree, being able to self-promote and having the confidence to outline the details of your success is crucial for all Career Girls.
Numbers. I can't stress this enough. It's not enough to say, "I've been ____ more." The word "more" doesn't give an accurate description of the point at which you started and where you are now. "Last month, I made it to one networking event each week and added ten contacts to my network, letting everyone know about our upcoming conference." Doesn't that sound nice? It's an easy task for me because my job is in marketing, so I can measure just about everything in concrete numbers (Facebook likes, email opens, etc.). If your job doesn't have involve math, be creative. "I was six days early on month-end reporting every month for the last quarter," or, "I joined two new committees to represent our company in the community." It's the same reason why you should quantify weight loss, budget goals, and so on. You can't tell how far you've come if you didn't mark where you started and where you are now.
Credit where credit is due. If you you worked with other people on a project and they did a great job, it's wonderful to let your boss know, but don't overlook your own work. You were still a part of the group and you used your specialized skills to do work that was likely above what was asked of you. Try framing it like this: "We worked well as a team. I worked hard to make sure my pieces were finished two weeks early, and that I did two extra proofs to produce the best final product we could." In an era where everyone needs to justify their position at a company, you can't afford to be modest about what you actually do and how much you contribute.
The self-promotion sandwich. It's especially difficult for me not to point out an area where I can improve. In order to accommodate that tendency and still shine, I put it between two things that I excel at: "I have really nailed the community involvement pieces that I'm doing by going to every meeting and introducing myself to someone new every time. I think I could get better at initiating conversation, but I've invited several people to our events and know of five that made it last month directly because of me." Boom. Roasted.
Just smile and say, "Thanks!" It used to be so uncomfortable for me to take a compliment. I'd turn red and mumble, "Oh, yeah, ya know…" That doesn't make you look like a big time Career Girl at all! Not that everyone needs to be self-obsessed, but take the compliment. You're happy that I joined the team and I'm invaluable to my department? "Thanks, it means a lot to me that you see how high my standards are for my own work." Was that so hard? Of course not. You're wonderful and smart and probably very fashionable, so learn how to say thank you without feeling like an awkward kid.
I'm serious! Pretend like you are confident and don't feel weird complimenting yourself. Practice in mirrors. Have conversations in the shower and imagine what you'd say if you were talking-up someone else. Eventually you will see the results that will boost your self-esteem and awareness of how valuable you are, and when prompted, you will be able to have honest conversations about what you bring the table. I promise it will work better than silence!

Holiday has deep spiritual roots in U.S.
by Chris Donahue
For the Missionary Families of Christ New Jersey (MFCNJ), the two most important aspects of Christian life are the renewal of families and the work of evangelization.
In the spirit of inviting others to a seat at the table of the Lord around the celebration of Thanksgiving, MFCNJ invited the diocese to send a speaker to a gathering of the group at St. Anne Parish, Fair Lawn, Nov. 19.
In his Thanksgiving message, Adam Carlisle, Secretary of Evangelization and Communication, reminded everyone that the first Thanksgiving was actually Catholic.
On September 8, 1565 — fifty-six years before the "first" Thanksgiving — Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and 800 Spanish settlers founded the city of St. Augustine (in Spanish Florida). As soon as they were ashore, the landing party celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving. The celebrant of the Mass was St. Augustine's first pastor, Father Francisco López de Mendoza Grajales, and the feast day in the Church calendar was that of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As Carlisle noted, while people tend to think of Thanksgiving as a secular holiday, it is important to realize that, from the very beginning, thanksgiving and evangelization were linked.
"We must never lose sight of the fact that our faith is a gift and that those of us who are blessed with the gift of faith have an obligation to share that gift — much like the missionaries who came to North America nearly 500 years ago — with the whole world, making disciples of all nations," Carlisle said.
MFCNJ, a nonprofit Catholic lay organization, was founded in the Philippines by Frank Padilla in 1981 as an outreach to couples. It now has several missions around the world and about 15 in the United States, including St. Bernadette Parish, Parlin.
MFCNJ has about 500 members in the Diocese of Metuchen and more than 1,000 in the Diocese of Passaic, said George Santos, a member of the group and St. Bernadette's.

Engine Manufacturers typically install full-flow filters that only remove particles from oil down to 20 - 25 micron. With the addition of Spin-Clean, particles below 1 micron are removed, thus significantly increasing engine life. Time between oil change intervals is also increased saving the user time & money. Equally as important, the addition of Spin-Clean to an engine/package will significantly reduce hazardous waste, which positively impacts our environment.


Natural dieting pills are the blessing of god. As prayer to god is done in a perfect way, the natural dieting pills should be consumed in a right way. Otherwise, both the things become useless. Why people should push a car equally from both the ends? The effect will be same as the consumption of dieting pill without any control of diet and exercise. Skinny fiber ingredients are 100 percent natural and responsible for the increment of the metabolism. The natural dieting pills contain natural elements like green tea, which is the cause of reduced hunger. Decrement of appetite is the cause of consuming less diet and the result will be skinny.
The pain due to the appetite is the cause of the weight increase. When you will take these natural weight loss pills then the rate of sensation of hunger will be decreased. You will not swallow the fats and extra calories. Your diet will be controlled easily. The skinny fiber weight loss pills contain some enzymes and plant elements. The numbers of plant elements are mainly 3 types and the number of enzymes are 7. The enzymes are responsible for digestion. The main plant element is Caralluma. It is responsible for the hunger and thirst suppresser. This plant belongs to cactus family.
Many Indian people used this plant at the time of famine to get rid of hunger and thirst. For the management of the body weight this plant supports in the above way. The blockages of some enzymes are happened due to this plant, which results the formation of fat in human body. Another plant element is Cha de Burge. This is one type of plant found in Brazil. This small plant has multi function. It is a appetite reducer, circulation stimulator. It also enhances the work of kidney.
Some other benefits are also there. Skinny fiber benefits are maximum to maintain good health with the effective weight management. The tree Cha de Burge is also used as a tea. This tree is small and responsible for the reduction of uric acid from blood. If that is used on the external part of the body then that will help to repair wounds.

CALL: Submit contributions to the workshop and CriDis special edition 'Covid-19 crisis discourse'
Amelie Kutter, September 15, 2021
Deadline: 17 October, 2021
When the Covid-19 virus started spreading globally, heralding a pandemic, we faced a crisis in its initial medical meaning: a moment deciding about the lives and deaths of a growing group of people, while adequate intervention was unknown and highly uncertain. Debates focussed on epidemiology, measures of containment and the facts and figures, on which they could be based. In the meantime, efforts at understanding the medical crisis have transformed into struggles over the management of social, economic, ecological and political-representational crisis surfacing with the pandemic. We witness recurring features of crisis discourse, be that the construction of extraordinary authority and power, scapegoating, or the celebration of heroes, movers and shakers. At the same time, debates about Covid-19 appear to be specific in that they renegotiate, more radically than did the crises debates before, what is admissible and acceptable between facts and fiction, freedom and repression, solidarity and social exclusion.
Call for contributions
This call invites blog posts that investigate such phenomena of recent crisis debate from a discourse-analytical angle. The call addresses discourse scholars and students of discourse studies, who currently research discourses of the Covid-19 pandemic and related aspects of multiple crisis and who specialise in a specific discourse approach. We invite researchers to share initial or consolidated insights of their ongoing work with the specialist community and the wider audience, preparing blog posts for the Crisis Discourse Blog, using one of the following formats: snapshot analysis, slippery concept, heuristic tool, or review (for details on these formats see below).
The Crisis Discourse Blog (CriDis), founded by Amelie Kutter and supported by an editorial board of discourse scholars from various backgrounds, seeks to engage with aspects of current crisis discourse, its problematic language use, selective and politically performative power and symbolic violence. It presents to the discourse research community and the interested audience interim results of research and provides vantage points for discussing about how we think and talk about crisis and how we can intervene in local debates employing our discourse-analytical expertise (for more details see https://www.amelie-kutter.net/en/2020/12/impact-project_the-crisis-discourse-blog/. Contributions can be made in both English and German.
At the authors' workshop 'Covid-19 crisis discourse', we will discuss both substantive and editorial issues of the submitted contributions in order to boost their quality and prepare them for publication on the blog. We will also exchange views on discourse analytical expertise and discourse research on crisis.
Even if your discourse research does not focus on the Covid-19 pandemic and if you are not intrigued by the current # Covid crisis discourse call, you might find Crisis Discourse Blog is a useful platform for spreading the word about your work. Future calls will relate to the normalisation of right-wing discourses, to discursive struggles over feminist and gender activism, or the justification of the self-regulating market after recent financial crises. Contributions submitted off these calls for special editions cannot currently be processed. You are always welcome to get in contact, though, if you think your blog post adds to an existing call or issue.
How to participate in the authors' workshop 'Covid-19 crisis discourse'
Abstracts of 100 words in English should be submitted to kutter@europa-uni.de no later than 17 October, 2021. Abstracts that present a piece of research should point out what aspect or case of crisis discourse they will explore, what discourse approach is used and what format they envisage ('snapshot analysis' or 'slippery concept') and, if applicable, in what (institutional or project) frames the study was conducted. Abstracts that present a middle range concept or heuristic-analytical tool for crisis discourse research should point out what this concept is and why it is revelatory for the analysis of crisis discourse and where its limits lie ('heuristic tool'). Abstracts of 'reviews' should indicate what piece(s) of work on crisis discourse they review, why these are relevant and what general frame/argument is adopted to review the work(s). Submitters will be notified a good week later and learn whether or not their submissions can be considered for the authors' workshop. Drafts of the blog post need then to be submitted by 21 November, 2021, to allow editors and other participants to read them in advance.
What formats and editorial requirements the blogposts need to conform with
Crisis Discourse Blog offers a range of rubrics that can be used for presenting your analysis and reflection of crisis discourse. They put research or reflections on crisis discourse in more accessible format and language compared to academic text genres, while at the same time keeping to rigour in argumentation and scientific analysis. As snapshot analysis, for instance, can start with a personal reflection, puzzling discovery or current event, but will still make transparent how the ensuing analysis was conducted and how it is informed by a discourse approach. References to literature should be scarce and given in endnotes, printing in the full reference following the APSA style, links to sources should also be given in endnotes, printing in the source, the link and the data of access. In all formats, contributions have to come with a 100 words abstract in English and (if applicable) German. Contributors need to provide for language editing and proof reading themselves.
The rubric Slippery Concepts highlights ambiguous terms that have become widespread or backgrounded in the course of recent crises, and whose use or non-use has been instrumental in defining current crises in specific and potentially dubious ways. The objective of this rubric is to draw attention to the (non-)uses of these terms and the origins of their different meanings. The aim is to incite reflection upon the contribution of these terms to our contemporary crisis debate. Slippery concepts can be commented on in form of an extended entry to an (imagined) encyclopedia of contemporary political and crisis debate, which emphasizes the etymology and historical semantics of the term and explicates the theoretical perspective from which the term is approached. Slippery concepts can also be commented on in form of a witty column on a specific situation in which the term was used, which highlights the author's puzzlement with the term and her or his further explorations in its uses and misuses. Length: two to five pages or 1000 to 2500 words max.
The rubric Snapshots gathers contributions that provide a brief and pinpointed scientific discourse analysis of a specific substantive feature of current or historic crisis debate, be that the construction of a specific situation as a particular crisis, of a crisis management scenario, of scapegoats or 'fixers' endowed with extraordinary authority. Snapshot analyses usually draw on running discourse-analytical research projects and offer a pre-view on the material under investigation. At the same time, contributors of snapshot analyses use their expert's insight to intervene in current debate and disentangle problematic language use or discourse practice, highlighting the construction of social hierarchies involved. A snapshot analysis is structured along the following elements: a peg that highlights the currency or puzzlement associated with the issue investigated and a brief introduction; a paragraph situating the issue in its broader social-political context; a brief explication of how, by which discourse-analytical concepts or categories the isolated issue of crisis discourse is being investigated; and the summary and discussion of that insights generated by that approach. While the style may be essayistic, academic and non-academic references are used and made explicit in footnotes. Length: about eight pages or 4000 words max.
In Heuristic Tools, contributors can share their knowledge on a specific discourse-analytical concept that facilitates the exploration of selected aspects of crisis discourse. Posts usually explicate how this concept is understood in some approach of discourse study and point out from which theoretical-epistemological tradition it is derived and how it has been applied so far, drawing on references from academic literature (given in footnotes). They explain why it is particularly suited to get a better understanding of a specific aspect of crisis debate, illustrate this claim drawing on a recent example, and reflect upon limitations of the concept. Concepts and categories are here understood as heuristic tools that help us to grasp specific aspects of a problem investigated, not as artifacts whose relevance we aim to prove. Length: about two pages or 1000 words max.
In Reviews, contributors give a brief discussion of recent academic or popular publications on crisis discourse or of works of art that relate to current crisis debate. There ought to be a common theme or leitmotif that guides through the discussion of different works and highlights the reasons why these works deserve attention. Length: about two pages or 1000 words max.

Q: Как сделать вывод нескольких переменных в строку на java? Допустим, на python это можно сделать так:
hello = "Привет"
world = "мир"
num = 1
print("{} {}! #{}".format(hello, world, num))

Или, на python3, вот так:
hello = "Привет"
world = "мир"
num = 1
print(f"{hello} {world}! #{num}")

Как аналогичное действие выполнить на java? Есть ли у стандартного System.out.println возможности, чтобы сделать что-то вроде:
String hello = "Привет";
String world = "мир";
int num = 1;
System.out.println("%hello, %world! #%num");

Или, возможно что-то подобное можно сделать с помощью других встроенных функций Java?
То что я нашёл в примерах выглядит как-то так:
System.out.printf("My name is: %s%n", "joe");

Но тут не ясно зачем эти %s и %n, а также как вывести несколько переменных в одной строке...

A: Решение:
String hello = "Привет";
String world = "мир";
int num = 1;
System.out.println(String.format("%s %s #%s", hello, world, num));

Спасибо MaxU и keekkenen. C MessageFormat вариант тоже рассмотрю.

Illustrator/Designer Rick Sternbach Recalls His Trek Days, Part 1
StarTrek.com Staff
October 27, 2011 5:00 AM PDT
So much of Star Trek -- The Motion Picture, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Nemesis – simply would not have looked as it did were it not for the talents and imagination of Rick Sternbach. Over his many years with the franchise, Sternbach worked as a senior illustrator, designer, scenic artist, technical advisor and more. He helped create starships, weapons, props, etc. And, of course, he penned and/or illustrated several popular Star Trek manuals and blueprint books. StarTrek.com recently caught up with Sternbach for a detailed two-part interview in which he discussed his career, his years in the Trek universe, and what he's doing today. Below is part one, and check back tomorrow for part two.
How did you first hook up with Star Trek?
Sternbach: Around 1974, three years after I left the University of Connecticut to pursue science fiction illustration work, I was fortunate enough to meet with Gene Roddenberry after a showing of "The Cage" at Yale University in New Haven. We spent a couple of hours talking about everything from Star Trek to the real space program to the future of humans in the galaxy. Remember, this was shortly after the last Apollo mission to the moon, Skylab was still up, and the Space Shuttle era was beginning, so it was a very heady time in terms of spaceflight activities. Gene was hoping that a Star Trek feature film was going to happen, though as we know it took another four years to get greenlighted. In 1977 I made the uncertain move to California to look for film and TV work, prompted in large part by seeing Ralph McQuarrie's artwork for Star Wars a year earlier. A first meeting at Paramount with Joe Jennings, production designer on the Phase II Star Trek TV series, wasn't particularly encouraging, but within five months the situation had changed. As we know, the series had morphed into Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Joe asked me to come in.
For those who are unfamiliar with what a senior illustrator/designer does, take us through your responsibilities over the years on Star Trek.
Sternbach: Typically, I would read the script like everyone else, from the set designers and costumers to the carpenters and painters and visual effects folks, and make notes about hand props or ships or bits of high-tech set decoration that needed to be drawn up. Star Trek has always been a special case in terms of physical structures and equipment; you can't go out and rent most of what we built. And we found ourselves needing to create and stick to a special set of design rules, both Starfleet and alien, that has kept us distinct from the majority of the "media SF" out there. I did pencil art, inked sketches, and color marker renderings for producer approval, and would interact with a lot of the other crafts on the lot who had a hand in making the designs on paper become real. A drawing for a big floor prop, say, an alien force field generator, would have annotations for practical lighting gear, paint specs, and suggested visual effects activity. Hand props were also done with those stylistic rules, and usually resulted in five or six versions for the producers to consider. I worked up starships and shuttles in blueprint form as well as sketches, primarily because I understood the hardware shapes and their functions, and the blueprints would make the jobs of the physical model makers and CGI experts a bit easier. I can thank my architect dad for teaching me the blueprint thing.
You worked on everything from The Motion Picture through to Nemesis. What were some of the personal highlights for you, in terms of working experiences?
Sternbach: With the design work, any major ship or prop has to be considered a highlight. That usually happened with something we knew would be highly visible, like a tricorder or phaser, or a ship like Voyager, or something in a script that just sounded so amazingly cool that it begged for a lot of sketch time. Seeing a completed model in the flesh was goose-bump time, even if I had seen intermediate stages of assembly. Standing inside a finished set with the lights on, with no stage walls visible, was always exciting. However, "exciting" can go in an unknown direction. One morning I got called down to the ST:TMP travel pod set by director Robert Wise, and I arrived a bit shaky, thinking I had screwed something up. In reality, he wanted me to explain to Jimmy Doohan what controls to activate to wake up the pod systems and make it go, since I had designed the graphics for it.
There was a long, long time between The Motion Picture and Nemesis. In what ways did the passage of time, the evolution of technology and special effects, affect what you did and how you did it?
Sternbach: There's no doubt that the improvements made in desktop computers, and 2-D and 3-D graphics software, helped us do our art department jobs better and faster. On ST:TMP, most of the work I did involved India ink, rapidograph technical pens, and photocopy machines, as well as color markers and airbrush paintings. Computers were nowhere in sight, except at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who assisted us with some techy-looking animations. On ST:TNG, we started out almost the same way before we got our Apple Macintosh systems. By the time we got deep into Voyager, I was able to build rough 3-D models of ships and props and email the files out. I'd say that was progress, though I would also point out that my time was better spent nailing the design details in good old blue pencil and black felt pen, with a little marker color on top, plus the scaled blueprints. The modelers and CG wizards did their real magic from the drawings better than I could.
What are some of your personal favorite designs?
Sternbach: I used to try and pick a single favorite, but nowadays I'm content to simply list the U.S.S. Voyager, the U.S.S. Equinox and the Klingon Vor'cHa attack cruiser as my favorite designs, followed closely behind by Deep Space Nine, the Starfleet Runabout (done with Jim Martin's design assist), the Delta Flyer, the TNG tricorder, and the TNG Type II hand phaser redesign for Season 3. Uh, and the U.S.S. Prometheus, and the Type IV compression phaser rifle, and Deep Space Nine, and the Cardassian disruptor. And the Romulan PADD. It's so hard to choose.
Let us ask you your memories of creating several specific vehicles and props: the Deep Space Nine space station, the U.S.S. Voyager, the PADD.
Sternbach: Deep Space Nine went through a crazy few months of design work while the producers played with its origins, from an unknown ancient alien structure to the Cardassian station we know; scads of doodles and sketches and rough blueprints done to home in on something with which everyone would be happy. Exterior shapes had to match interior volumes and visible stuff like windows, but eventually it all solidified. And all the while, my inner design muse was speaking loudly to make sure it made some kind of engineering sense, even if it involved an alien way of thinking. That's just how I operate. The central core, the habitat ring, and the docking pylons were worked out almost as if they were really going to be manufactured. Even if the audience didn't know early on what a certain shape did, I knew, and depending on what the thing was, it could have been made important in a story later on. And it would have made sense.
Voyager went through a similar process of large numbers of sketches and preliminary blueprints. Starfleet shapes and colors follow different design rules than Cardassian bits, but these are rules that have evolved since TOS, and I've always believed that our fans expect us to keep true to recognizable styles, within the context of each era. Sounds deep, doesn't it? But it works. Voyager was described as a smaller ship than the Enterprise-D, with a smaller crew, and that drove the way it was designed. Windows would appear larger in proportion. Familiar pieces of equipment would be seen in more detail. A few rounds of blueprinting later, and it was ready for the model makers, with all the parts a good Starfleet ship should have.
And the PADD, which has been back in the news…
Sternbach: I can understand why there's been some hoopla over the comparison to recent tablet computers, particularly the Apple iPad, but I really see the PADD as simply an outgrowth of science fiction data displays imagined for decades in literature and on screen. The PADD was initially scaled to be about the size of a paperback book, with a larger, more comfortable screen than the tricorder's, and its internal isolinear circuitry was supposed to be many thousands of times more compact than in the clipboard Kirk was used to signing. I always assumed that the PADD would be a highly capable device, able to communicate with other tech devices. The fact that we have devices like it today doesn't surprise me in the least. They're all very, very cool, but I expected them to show up eventually. The only aspect about today's gadgets that I don't think I saw coming in 1987 was how multifunction they've become. I'm not sure if I designed the PADD and tricorder and other devices to be so limited in comparison or if they were just used on screen in limited ways. You don't see people talking into a PADD or a tricorder, though there's no good reason why they couldn't have.

Prompt, very knowledgeable and friendly.
I was due for my annual but when I made the appointment over the phone I also told the receptionist I was pregnant. During my appointment they weren't notified I was pregnant until I told them. I had my annual done and a pregnancy test done. Mcneely was very helpful as he answered all my questions and gave me medicine for nausea and my blood pressure.
Very clean and friendly staff! Love Jenny!
Dr. is very nice and pays attention to questions.
I have never met a Doctor like DR. Osterholt who goes over and beyond for his Patiences. He always puts them first. He takes the time to explain and give you options. All the staff are extremely friendly also. Its an uplifting environment!
Got back quickly , Dr addressed the issues in a professional manner .
My time with the doctor was great. I waited 1hr to see her which was a waste of my time. I was very unhappy with the amount of time I had to wait. My apointment should have been scheduled an hour later then.
I always appreciate Dr. Orr's kindness and willingness to talk to us about any issues we are having. I recently took my daughter in for her first obgyn experience and he made her feel totally comfortable, while also explaining that she should never be alone with a practitioner. He's a consummate professional and I love his staff, we are very pleased with our experience!
Absolutely a wonderful caring group of people. You will be completely happy with their care.
First and foremost, the ladies at the front desk are WONDERFUL! They took the extra time to explain to me in detail my insurance coverage and charges. Jennifer was great! Met her for the 1st time at my 12week check up appointment and she was very informative and her compassion for her profession shows. I am so glad I decided to stay with this facility throughout my pregnancy!
After delaying many years not going to the Dr not making time for myself taking care of family and parents being 57 years old! The office receptionist nurses and Dr was wonderful with my care! Now it's time to take care of me it's long over due don't do this to yourself go get your test taken every year. Don't do what I did it's not worth! The office and Dr Orr was very kind and understanding now it's time for me!
Very professional and personable. No complaints.

IoT JSON Message Formats: JSON Blow Darts, JSON Arrows, JSON Spears, and JSON Freight Trains.
This document describes motivation, problem statement, solution options, and recommendations for a layered or tiered approach for the Parallelspace TEAM IoT JSON message format based on a set of documented requirements. The final solution is based on the definition of four (4) message formats: JSON Blow Darts, JSON Arrows, JSON Spears, and JSON Freight Trains.
The Context section provides background information for the topics covered in the Discussion section that follows immediately after this section.
The following list of terms and their definitions are used in the Discussion section.
Thing A Thing is a physical or virtual object or entity. Physical Things are usually connected directly or indirectly to the Internet.
Change of State Change in the number of properties, the name of a property, the attributes of a property, or the value of a property associated with a Thing.
Message Serialization of an Event (i.e. the change in the state of a physical or virtual object or entity). In addition, a Message can be used to capture and communicate the initial and/current state of Things at rest (i.e. Things are haven't undergone a recent change in state).
Event Hub Local service that Things send Event information to.
Event Hub Gateway Centralized, possibly distributed, usually cloud-based, services that aggregates Messages (Event information) from a Local Event Hub or possibly other Event Hub Gateways or Event Hub Pipelines.
Event Hub Pipelines A pipeline of activities that post-process Messages received by an Event Hub Gateway.
The following list of additional resources will be helpful in further understanding the context of the Discussion section.
Many IoT example applications use very simple message formats consisting of a device ID and small number of parameters. This approach is suitable for simple devices sending Change of State information to an Event Hub so that Messages can in turn be forwarded to a central, usually cloud-based Event Hub Gateway.
Define a series of IoT JSON message formats, from simple to more complex, that support the diverse range of production requirements.
Single, heterogeneous message format or a multi-level architecture that defines multiple message formats that build upon one and other.
The relationship between the IoT JSON message formats and the capabilities they support are documented in Table 1. IoT JSON Message Format Capabilities.
The following is an example of the external tags that may be attached to an Arrow. JSON notation is being used as a convenience. Often the IoT Event Hub platform will use a different mechanism, on-the-wire format and/or transport.
Below is an example of some additional properties that might be included as part of the body of an IoT JSON Message.
The external message properties for a Freight Train IoT JSON message might look like the following.
This document described motivation, problem statement, solution options, and recommendations for a layered or tiered approach for the Parallelspace TEAM IoT JSON message format based on a set of documented requirements. The final solution is based on the definition of four (4) message formats: JSON Blow Darts, JSON Arrows, JSON Spears, and JSON Freight Trains.
This document described each of these 4 IoT JSON message formats and provided an example of each format.

 Trivia: Fictitious temperature reading of one of the BBQ smokers at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Syracuse, NY.
To elaborate on the JSON Freight Train message metaphor, the Engine at the front of the train is JSON-Schema object. It describes the object type schema for the Cars that follow/are being pulled along by the Engine (actual JSON data objects that conform to the schema). If, with the dynamic environment of IoT, some Cars mid-way along the Train have a few properties that need to be added to or deleted from the schema, you can add another Engine (aka another JSON-Schema message) in front of the first Car that needs/uses the new schema).
Michael, this is such a great post. I am tasked with getting pricing estimates from two document databases to store data that we haven't designed yet. This gives me a set of IoT-focused messages that I can leverage for that work. Bravo!

Greubel Forsey's New CEO Outlines His Grand Plans for the Indie Watchmaker's Future
Hint: more watches, fewer collections and (relatively) lower price points.

WatchBox CEO Justin Reis on His $165 Million Plans
Antonio Calce took the reins of Greubel Forsey one year ago, with a directive to forge a new path forward for the brand, founded in 2004 by independent watchmaking duo Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey. His goal was to redefine—or simply tweak—everything from distribution and production to marketing and price points. The result is a strategy that, in a nutshell, dictates fewer collections but twice the production, more Greubel Forsey boutiques but fewer authorized dealers, and (relatively) lower price points but no compromise on quality and finish.

There will still be tourbillons, including the inclined and multiple-axis escapements that are signature to the brand, but there will also be more modern, sporty and accessible pieces, with prices lowered from around $500,000 to under $300,000—which still defines it as a low-production, high-cost brand, but makes it marginally more affordable. The overall aim is to ensure the brand's survival beyond the lifespan of its founders—who have stepped back to allow Calce room to lead.
Antonio Calce Greubel Forsey
The Balancier S2, introduced at Dubai Watch Week in December, is an indication of what to expect going forward. It's a smaller version of the Balancier S (from 46.5mm to 43mm), with more subtle finishes—gone is the script engraved around the bezel, and the red-tipped hands are now highlighted by white Super-LumiNova. And there is notably no tourbillon; it's a GMT. The case is made of lightweight titanium with a sleek, ovoid curved shape that is notably more subtle than the bulging subdials of many previous Greubel Forsey models. At $220,580, it's one of the lowest-priced watches the company has produced. The GMT Earth, for example, with tourbillon and signature rotating day/night orb, is priced between $500,000 and $600,000. (That model was discontinued, following an 11-piece swan song released at last year's Watches & Wonders). Likewise, the GMT Quadruple tourbillon, priced $800,000 is set to be phased out. In fact, all previous versions of Greubel Forsey's GMTs will come to an end next year in favor of a new GMT caliber that will be priced in the $350,000 range, to debut sometime in 2022.

The idea, according to Calce, is to attract younger collectors, albeit very well-heeled ones, to the brand. The strategy involves increasing production, yet paring down the number of SKUs.
"For the past 20 years, Greubel Forsey has made about 100 watches a year. In 2022, that will double to 200, and in the next two years, it will double again to 400," says Calce. "The eventual goal is to have an output of 500 pieces."
One way to scale up production is to limit the production of certain high-end pieces, allocating resources elsewhere. Since it started in 2004, Greubel Forsey has introduced 30 calibers—and 30,000 references of components. In 2019 alone, five new calibers were introduced. "We have to do something with these incredible assets," says Calce. Some calibers will be phased out, while the vast inventory of components will allow them to customize others, creating unique movements, something that dovetails with "Renaissance d'une Montre," or Rebirth of a Watch—a concept planned for 2023 that invites previous Greubel Forsey customers to return their watches for redesign and upcycling. The strength of the program is that it allows customers to not only change the bezel, lugs, hands or indexes, but also, more unusually, the movement. Clients will be able to add a function, like a date, a second time zone or a tourbillon. The pricing structure is yet to be determined.
"The previous strategy was to dedicate production aimed at collectors, which was very niche," says Calce. "Our goal now is to open a new product segment with a new product offer [set to officially debut later this year]. The new collection will be modern, but quieter, more pure. We won't play with color so much. We'll organize the collections by function, always focusing on the movement, building designs around variations on some of our calibers."
Greubel Forsey Atelier Workshop Patrice Schreyer
Since production is set to double over the next two years, the plan includes nearly doubling the square footage of the manufacture, a modern glass building added onto a 17th-century farmhouse near La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, which opened in 2009. The expansion will enable Greubel Forsey to make its own hairsprings and hire more watchmakers. As for distribution, the number of authorized dealers will be reduced from around 50 to 60 to just 25, with a plan in the works to build a network of flagship boutiques with various partners.
"The only way to secure the brand for the future is to put a good management team in place," says Calce. "This is possible partly because of the trust between Robert Greubel [the majority shareholder] and myself. We will define it together, and bring it forward through the next 20, 40, 100 years." While Stephen Forsey will remain as technical director, both partners will take a step back from day-to-day operations.

The new direction does not mean the end of high complications, ones that have taken home top awards at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, like the $1.1 million Grand Sonnerie Chiming watch or the Hand Made One, a piece made by hand according to traditional principles of watchmaking with original manual tools that took three years to make. In fact, a new variation of Hand Made One is already in the works. "We'll continue to do crazy things," says Calce.

This second edition of Generalized Functions has been strengthened in many ways. The already extensive set of examples has been expanded. Since the publication of the first edition, there has been tremendous growth in the subject and I have attempted to incorporate some of these new concepts. Accordingly, almost all the chapters have been revised. The bibliography has been enlarged considerably. Some of the material has been reorganized. For example, Chapters 12 and 13 of the first edition have been consolidated into Chapter 12 of this edition by a judicious process of elimination and addition of the subject matter. The new Chapter 13 explains the interplay between the theories of moments, asymptotics, and singular perturbations. Similarly, some sections of Chapter 15 have been revised and included in earlier chapters to improve the logical flow of ideas. However, two sections are retained. The section dealing with the application of the probability theory has been revised, and I am thankful to Professor Z.L. Crvenkovic for her help. The new material included in this chapter pertains to the modern topics of periodic distributions and microlocal theory. I have demonstrated through various examples that familiarity with the generalized functions is very helpful for students in physical sciences and technology. For instance, the reader will realize from Chapter 6 how the generalized functions have revolutionized the Fourier analysis which is being used extensively in many fields of scientific activity.


Native Americans from over 40 tribes across the Americas were at the Thunderbirds' 39th Annual Grand Mid-Summer Pow Wow At Queens County Farm last weekend.
Native Americans from North America representing 40 different tribes celebrated their culture for three days during the Thunderbirds' 39th Annual Grand Mid-Summer Pow Wow at Queens County Farm Museum last weekend.
Throughout the event, Native Americans wore the traditional regalia of tribes from Canada, Panama and the Caribbean, as well as the South, the Midwest and Northeastern regions of the United States.
Hundreds of people from all different backgrounds showed up to listen and watch the traditional Gourd singing, dancing and drumming as they sat around in a circle on haystacks in an orchard.
Food truck vendors dished out Native American tacos and sweets, like baked bread with honey and cinnamon. Toddlers and adults competed in different dance competitions, which had a $500 prize for the winner.
Dennis Zotigh of the Kiowa Dakotas and the Pueblo tribes came from Washington, D.C. to provide narration about the history of the indigenous people of the Americas. He spoke about the purpose of the pow wow.
The indigenous people of North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean spoke over 250 languages and dialects, according to Zotigh.
Hoop dancer Marie McKinney Ponce, of the Key West Conch, Taino and Cherokee tribes, got emotional when speaking about her heritage.
Monica Lopez, a St. Albans resident, brought her 7-year-old twins to the festivities to embrace their Cherokee culture.
"When you have children, it is good for them to know where they come from," Lopez said.
Little Blue Storm, her daughter, was in the fancy shawl competition, while Lone Fox, her son, participated in the men's traditional dance portion of the event.
The proceeds of the event will be split between the Thunderbirds organizers and the farm. The Queens County Farm will use its part of the earnings from the event for educational programs.
The Thunderbirds will use their portion to provide college scholarships to Native American youths.

Pokemon Black and White Review
I remember the day I first played Pokemon: After months of getting hyped up via Nintendo's cleverly disguised advertisements masquerading as magazines, I managed to successfully convince my Dad to buy me a copy of Blue Version, along with a matching Game Boy Pocket, as an early Christmas present. It was easily one of the best days of my childhood (though, in retrospect, the thought of that is kind of depressing. anyway…,) I tore through the packaging and excitedly fumbled to put the game and batteries into my new handheld even before we managed to walk out of the store, and all my unrealistic, youthful expectations of the game were immediately fulfilled: Despite being limited by decade-old hardware, Pokemon instantly had me addicted, and for the next year or so, the rest of the videogame industry simply disappeared to me. For 12 year old me there was only one game, and that game was Pokemon.
The memory of that feeling still remains with me to this day, mostly because of two reasons: One, I am a coddled man-child who hasn't mentally matured a day since then, and reason number 2, the newest Pokemon games, titled Black and White Versions, manage to recapture all the best elements of the original entries of the series.
Black and White's greatest achievement is that it manages to do what no new Pokemon game has managed to do in almost ten years: It feels new. While the first set of sequels to Pokemon, Gold and Silver Versions, managed to add new innovations to the series — an in game clock that affected gameplay, two new types, etc — all of the series's sequels since then have simply been content to recycle the same formula while adding new monsters. Hell, despite advances in hardware, even the games' visual style has barely changed: Pokemon games have for the most part managed to look identical to the simple, tile based graphics of the original game.
But, while yes, Black and White still maintains the classic rock-paper-scissors combat and collectible-driven formula as its predecessors, it also introduces the most radical changes and updates to the series, since, well… Ever. The franchise's lack of change over the years is indicative of Nintendo's understandable hesitance to mess with a winning (billion dollar) formula, but they've finally decided to shake things up a bit, and the results are, outside of a few remaining legacy issues, spectacular.
The most immediately noticeable change is in the game's presentation: the previously static battles are now fully animated, and the results are excellent; not only are all 650+ Pokemon given new, fully animated sprites (an endeavor which must've taken a lot of time and money to create, I'm sure,) but the sprite work itself is surprisingly well done and impressive: Fans of classic 2D Saturn or Neo Geo games will likely find a lot to like about this game's presentation. This is the first Pokemon generation since the original where I've actually kept battle animations on, partly because this is the first Pokemon game in which the in-game battles were actually presented in a way that was dynamic and interesting to watch.
And of course, Pokemon battles are the core element of the franchise, and thankfully, they've been given a bit of a modern update as well. The most common criticism of past games in the series has been the repetitive nature of training Pokemon, as older games required to spend hours grinding as you sat through endless, monotonous battles that dragged on due to either slow battle animations or slow text crawl. Black and White alleviates the monotony somewhat by doing a simple change: battles are now much, much faster: battle animations (which, like in previous games, can be turned off completely) are sped up and quick, while the traditionally abominably slow text crawl that narrates each battle has been sped up significantly, with entire messages of information appearing instantly instead of being slowly typed out letter by letter. This sounds like a minor change, but it greatly improves the overall experience: while the traditional Pokemon amount of level grinding is still there, it feels… well, it feels like less of a grind.
The main story of the game still has you travelling around a new region of the Pokemon world (this time it's called Unova, which, unlike the Japan-centric locales of previous games, is actually inspired by New York City,) collecting Pokemon and defeating regional Gym Leaders to collect badges, with the ultimate goal of becoming the Pokemon Champion. The story makes attempts at changing up the formula– your reoccuring rival in this game is a genuine crazy person instead of just the usual asshole kid/neighbor, and the main bad guys are a bunch of PETA inspired eco-terrorists instead of the usual Team Rocket-esque bumbling bad guys using Pokemon for money-making scams — but the story will still likely bore anyone over the age of twelve, and while this would be a death knell for any other RPG, let's face it, nobody plays Pokemon for the story.
So while the story falls flat, the game still manages to be engaging because your journey is so simply well-designed: each location you visit is distinct and attractive, the dungeons you have to cross to get to your destination are cleverly laid out, and the battles you'll fight along the way are genuinely challenging: where as in previous Pokemon games you could get away with simply concentrating all your level grinding onto one or two Pokemon and simply brute-forcing your way through the entire game, Black and White's gym leaders were tough enough that I had to carry a full party of diverse types in order to advance, and I had to rely on tactics beyond spamming my most powerful attacks in order to win. So yes, while Pokemon's story likely won't have you wondering what's going to happen next, it's gameplay is well-balanced, challenging, and more than compelling enough to keep you glued to your DS.
But of course, none of the things I've talked about so far wouldn't matter if the game's titular creatures weren't worth collecting, and Pokemon Black and White has the best menagerie of merchandise fodder since the original game. While there are some duds (the cleverly named, but ultimately bland Roggenrolla, for instance,) it has some of the coolest, cutest, and most iconic new Pokemon since Pikachu, which include Pokemon like (but not limited to,) a flying squirrel that calls down lightning storms, the popular and already-a-meme grass starter Snivy, a gothic lolita-clad psychic type that will likely replace Alakazam as many player's non-Legendary Psychic-type of choice, a Pokemon that is seemingly inspired by classic Japanese sentai (i.e. Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, etc.) and, most adorable of all, a polar bear who uses his nose snot as a weapon. It's easily the best batch of new additions made to the franchise ever, and this is the first time in the series where I was satisfied with the new lineup that I didn't immediately want to connect to an older version to trade over some of my classic Pokemon from the original generation.
The game has also made great strides in making Pokemon more of a social game as well: while the game has all the usual wi-fi trading and battling options that you'd expect, it also introduces a new method of local multiplayer: the C-Gear, which almost seems like a test bed of features for the upcoming 3DS– Now, even as you play the single player mode, the C-Gear will use your DS's wireless features to constantly scan for any other nearby players, and will alert you to any players you happen to walk by, allowing you to effortlessly trade, battle, or exchange info with any other plays whom you happen to be in wi-fi range of, essentially blurring the line between single player campaign and multi-player and turning the whole game into one massive, potentially endless experience. It's an excellent idea and it's one that I hope other games copy.
But for all the advancements, there are still some legacy elements that Black and White forgets to modernize: most noticeably, some of the menus are still laid out in a rather obtuse, overly dense manner. Take for instance, the online options in the game: If you want to trade with somebody on your friend's list, you have to connect to a server, save your game, and then enter a special room with your friend. Now, if you say, want to then trade with a random person over the internet, you have to then disconnect, walk to a different area of the Pokemon Center, save your game again, reconnect to the server (again) and select an option from an entirely different menu. You get used to it eventually, but it is rather confusingly laid out at first, and for all the game's focus on modern streamlining and speed, the menu's for certain aspects of the game still occasionally feel like slow, tired relics from 1998.
I've spent a good deal of this review comparing Black and White to it's predecessors, and while it's partial true that a certain amount of the appeal of this game comes from how improved it is over other Pokemon sequels, when taken on it's own merit, Black and White is simply a genuinely great handheld RPG, with well-balanced combat, a healthy sense of exploration, and an addictive collectable element. It succeeds by being the type of game you want it to be: if you simply want a casual, relaxing experience, the game is accessible enough that you can play it a few minutes at a time and still feel like you're getting something out of it; likewise, if you want a 100 hour long RPG with deep mechanics, you can easily spend months breeding Pokemon and min-maxing their stats, or hunting for rare catches or simply trying to figure out a balanced team for competitive play. The game is simply as casual or as hardcore of an experience as you want it to be, and that's an achievement that many games don't manage to do.
Pokemon Black and White has become my favorite game in the series, and while I'll always have a nostalgic attachment to the original games and the memories associated with them, Black and White manages to create an experience that's just as addictive, just as competitive, and, despite adhering to the classic elements that made the series a hit in the first place, somehow just as fresh as the original games. Whether you liked previous Pokemon games or not, if you're a fan of well-made handheld games or RPG's, you owe it to yourself to at least give this new Pokemon a shot.

One of the highlights of the band's fourth album Ssssh, "Stoned Woman" tells the tale of a woman who is intent on keeping her man "stoned out his mind all the time. The peak of this LP, "Religion" finds Lee and company questioning more than just the tangible world. The slow groove creeps in as Lee sings "I never really understood religion, except it seems a good excuse to kill. At the time, religions, spirituality and self discovery were everywhere. In fact, Jesus was the subject of many a hit record at the time.

I am passionate about helping people through psychological therapy centered on communication and movement. These are two natural capacities with great potential that generate healthy, deep and lasting changes in people.

Q: Best way to find min value in array of objects and also return the other property? I have an object of students & I'd like to get the name of the youngest student.
const students = [
  { name: 'Hans', age: 3 },
  { name: 'Ani', age: 7 },
  { name: 'Budi', age: 10 },
  { name: 'Lee', age: 13 }
 ]

I get the youngest age by this
function getYoungestAge(data) {
   return resultMin = data.reduce((min, p) => p.age < min ? p.age : min, data[0].age)
}

getYoungestAge(students) // return 3

How can I return not only age but also name ? // example: 3 and Hans

A: You can always take the whole object through your reduce and not just the age

const students = [
  { name: 'Hans', age: 3 },
  { name: 'Ani', age: 7 },
  { name: 'Budi', age: 10 },
  { name: 'Lee', age: 13 }
 ]

function getYoungestAge(data) {
   return data.reduce((min, p) => p.age < min.age ? p : min, data[0])
}

var youngest = getYoungestAge(students)
console.log(youngest);

Another way would be to sort the list and take the first. NOTE: This way changes the original array. That is fine in some cases and undesirable in others. I                 prefer the first way above in most cases.

const students = [
  { name: 'Hans', age: 3 },
  { name: 'Ani', age: 7 },
  { name: 'Budi', age: 10 },
  { name: 'Lee', age: 13 }
 ]

function getYoungestAge(data) {
   data.sort( (x,y) => x.age-y.age);
   return data[0];
}

var youngest = getYoungestAge(students)
console.log(youngest);

Also note that both of these solutions return the first item with the lowest age where more than 1 student shares the same age.

A: You could return an array with the filtered objects. This works with a single loop and if some people have the same mininmum age, then all peoples with that age are returned.

function getYoungestAge(data) {
    return data.reduce(function (r, o, i) {
        if (!i || o.age < r[0].age) {
            return [o];
        }
        if (o.age === r[0].age) {
            r.push(o)
        }
        return r;
    }, []);
}

const students = [{ name: 'Hans', age: 3 }, { name: 'Ani', age: 7 }, { name: 'Budi', age: 10 }, { name: 'Lee', age: 13 }]

console.log(getYoungestAge(students));

A: Reduce the array to a Map, with the age as key, and the value an array of all the students with that age. To get the youngest, find the min of the the map's keys, and get the value of that key from the map:

const students = [{"name":"Hans","age":3},{"name":"Ani","age":7},{"name":"Morgan","age":3},{"name":"Budi","age":10},{"name":"Lee","age":13}]

const studentsByAgeMap = students.reduce((m, o) => {
  m.has(o.age) || m.set(o.age, [])

  m.get(o.age).push(o)

  return m
}, new Map())

const result = studentsByAgeMap.get(Math.min(...studentsByAgeMap.keys()))

console.log(result)

A: Using Lodash the above can be achieved in one line.
_.minBy(students, function(o) {return o.age})

Game preview: Everything you need to know ahead of Sixers vs Pistons
By David Esser Posted on October 26, 2019
The Philadelphia 76ers (1-0) head up north to Little Caesars Arena this evening to take on the Detroit Pistons (1-1). The Sixers are coming in hot off a clean season-opening 107-93 victory over the Boston Celtics, while the Pistons are looking to bounce back after a 17 point blowout loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
The Eastern Conference matchup tips off at 7:00PM EST, and the 76ers are favored at -5.5. Philadelphia went 3-1 against the Pistons in 2018, taking the season series between the two sides.
76ers win 116-88, improve to 2-0
Without going full "homer" mode and disrespecting the Pistons roster, this should be an extremely easy win for the new-look 76ers. Detroit is simply not going to be a very competitive basketball team this year. Throw in the fact that their star PF Blake Griffin is out due to injury, it's hard to find what this team truly does well.
Andre Drummond leads the team in scoring through two games (26.5ppg) but is sure to have his hands full with Al Horford matching up on him. Former "franchise point guard" Reggie Jackson has scored just 10 points all season, and 11-year veteran journeyman Derrick Rose has found himself thrust into a scoring position.
The 76ers flexed their defensive muscles in the win over Boston, and should no doubt continue this in Detroit tonight. Expect Ben Simmons to have his way on the offensive side of things, scoring 25+ while flirting with a triple-double.
Stories to Watch
Sixers SF Tobias Harris returns to Detroit in somewhat of a homecoming in game 2 of the 2019 season. Harris spent 3 seasons with the Pistons, yet when asked about any feelings regarding the return, he simply stated, "No I don't have any".
Embiid was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain earlier this week, making him "questionable" to play against the Pistons. He was upgraded to fully out Saturday morning per Serena Winters. Expect Mike Scott (having been improved to probable) or Matisse Thybulle to start in his place, with Al Horford obviously dropping down to the 5 spot.
I genuinely expect this injury to play a small role in the game's overall flow. Horford ran the offense beautifully at the center position against Boston, and the rest of the 76ers starting five are more than capable to score on the Pistons' defense.
Korkmaz, somewhat surprisingly, logged 19 minutes in Philly's win over the Celtics on Wednesday. Brett Brown expressed post game how he had a desire to develop him into a 3-point specialist. It will be interesting to see how he's utilized against Detroit tonight.
