Freedom, generosity, honesty, health, income, wealth and good governance are criteria measured to indicate high levels of happiness. In Norway, we pride ourselves on being an open and free democracy with welfare solutions put in place in order to make sure all members of our community feels safe and taken care of. Of course, such implementations correlate with our robust and large economy, however the report states that Norwegian happiness is not a result of our oil money but rather despite of it.
To understand this statement, we have to understand that Norwegian Pension Fund Global, where the Norwegian Bank on behalf of the Norwegian government manages and reinvests our oil fortune. The fund's market value is today estimated at around 7 750 billion NOK, and the investments made have aroused international interest. When Norway first struck oil in the 60's, we understood that we dealt with a limited resource and investment in the future and future generations were more crucial than a raging spending spree. Responsible investments done by the fund during these times created the basis of our modern society and in extension our happiness.
Today, the Norwegian Pension Fund Global have invested in 8 985 companies globally and own a total percentage of 1.3 % of listed companies worldwide. We invest and exercise our ownership rights responsibly, because the fund's investments are about the future and belong to our future generations. We aim to contribute to efficient and well-functioning markets and promote work on international standards for responsible investment.
Now, money is, as we all know not the full picture. Numbers from the United States shows that their income have increased significantly the last ten years, still Americans ranks as number 14 in the index. "Corruption, distrust and inequality are contributing factors for this," says leader of SDSN, Jeffrey Sachs to Reuters.
The aim with this report is according to SDSN that authorities, public and private sector can use it as a tool to optimize solutions for better welfare. The six factors used in the report are GDP, life expectancy, freedom, generosity, community support and lack of corruption in government and businesses.


Now located in a busy retail intersection with more than four times the size of its previous incarnation, The Bicycle Stand—Long Beach's only bicycle shop dedicated to ground-up restorations of classic steel-framed bikes—has a new, improved, and bigger home—and it's less than a half-mile from where owners Evan Whitener and Nicole Maltz first turned their passion for vintage steeds into a business two-and-a-half years ago.
Whitener and Maltz first opened The Bicycle Stand in a 700 sq. ft. storefront on Broadway just west of Cherry Ave. as a way to put their life's motto, "Be happy, ride a bike," into practice. They started out buying and re-building old European bikes—from Pugeot to Raleigh— and created a rich social network presence snapping photos of happy customers and their restored rides.
Quickly, however, the pair found that their old-school aesthetic, friendly service and ideas for how to make bikes function in everyday life was useful to an even more diverse community of riders, many of whom were looking for new products and locally made accessories as well.
"We operate very democratically. Our customers dictate what we carry in the shop," says Whitener.
At the request of regulars—who range from commuters to aggressive riders to collectors to cruisers—The Bicycle Stand began to carry new bikes from Linus, Bianchi, and Brompton as well as accessories like baskets, racks, and hats.
As their inventory and breadth expanded, however, the smaller their shop became, forcing inventory onto the sidewalk and their occasional swap meets into the adjoining empty lot.
When they heard from a friend that Goosefire Gallery and High Priority Glass were moving to Orange County, Whitener and Maltz jumped on the opportunity, and before the "For Rent" sign went up, they had signed a lease on their massive space.
After a quick three-week buildout, The Bicycle Stand reopened in its new location on May 31, which allowed them to expand everything from their retail operation to their racing club. The exposed-brick foyer is filled with vintage bikes that Whitener claims are "waiting for love" and a portion of their new-stock bicycles are now available for daily rentals.
The shop's twice-weekly rides will continue and branded cycling gear is on the way too, making The Bicycle Stand more than just a repair shop that also sells bikes—it's a community hub and lifestyle boutique bursting with all kinds of two-wheel appreciation.
The Bicycle Stand is now located at 2740 E Broadway. They are open Monday through Friday, 11AM to 7PM, and weekends from 10AM to 7PM.

Arrival Review
We need more intelligent sci-fi thrillers like Arrival.
SPOILER ALERT! This review contains minor spoilers for Arrival.
When many people think of sci-fi movies, the ones that spring to mind are probably the epic franchises and the big-budget blockbusters. But what I've always loved about sci-fi is how it can span genres: action/adventure (Star Wars), disaster (Armageddon), romance (Passengers), apocalyptic (Mad Max) and more.
Arrival is the latest in a series of sci-fi films (Interstellar, The Martian) that take the "science" part seriously. It's intended to make you think and feel, not make your eyes bug out with explosions and special effects.
Also refreshing is the way the movie portrays scientists. The two main characters are linguistics professor Louise (Amy Adams) and theoretical physicist Ian (Jeremy Renner), and they are both awesome. Super-smart and competent, but also relatable and grounded - far from the usual Hollywood stereotype of socially-inept geeks wearing pocket protectors.
A Tale of Two Movies
I absolutely loved the first half of Arrival. Every beat - from the non-stop news coverage to the undercurrent of near-panic around the globe - felt like, "Yeah, that's totally how an alien arrival would play out." Science vs Cinema examined the science of the movie, and it's clear from interviews with the cast and crew that they really did their homework.
When Louise and Ian start trying to converse with the aliens, their approach is awesomely realistic. The impatient military commander (Forest Whitaker) wants to jump right into important questions like, "What is your purpose here?" But in a wonderful scene, Louise explains how such a question requires a lot of ground work: Individual you ("Bob the alien") versus collective you ("your race"). Do they even understand what a question is? How you do convey an abstract concept like "purpose" to an alien? It's a really great moment that illustrates the impossible challenge they face.
But then... Hollywood takes over. We snap our fingers, wave our hands, and they've figured out enough for some simple chats with our aliens. While I can understand and respect that two hours of linguistics dissection would probably not appeal to modern audiences, the transition from "oh man, that's really hard... how in the world are they going to figure that out?" to "oh, okay, never mind then" was pretty jarring.
Then the movie takes a complete 90 degree turn into a mind-bendy deep philosophical arc that's impossible to explain without major spoilers. Actually it's pretty hard to explain even with spoilers. Just watch it.
Arrival reminded me of both Contact and Interstellar, two superb sci-fi films. Like the former, it focused on a strong female scientist who was on a personal journey as much as a scientific quest. Like the latter, it was an intriguing blend of hard science and "who cares - it's Hollywood" drama.
Amy Adams gave a stellar performance. The initial contact with aliens had the perfect mix of fear, determination and awe-struck wonder. And throughout it all was an undercurrent of sadness set up by the movie's first few minutes. I think the "grieving parent" thing is getting to be a bit overdone in sci-fi, but it's a minor quibble considering that in Arrival it wasn't quite what it seemed.
I could've done with some more science and less twists in the second half, but it was still enjoyable overall. I'm not sure I think it deserves Best Picture, but it's always nice for the genre when sci-fi films get nominated. Maybe one of these years one of them will actually win!

Or, Will OK Cashbag Points Help or Not?
I used to fly on airplanes a lot to visit my home in Ulsan from Seoul, so it was relatively easy to attain and keep the Morning Calm elite frequent flyer membership at Korean Air. This gives you the same level of benefits as SkyTeam Elite. But with the introduction of high-speed rail (KTX) service to Ulsan in 2010, flights suddenly lost competitiveness and I switched to trains entirely for the visits since. I lost my Morning Calm status in 2011.
But Korean Air restores Morning Calm status to the ex-members if the person fulfills 30 thousand miles during a repeating two-year period which starts after the demotion. The first period for me was April 2011 to March 2013, but nothing came of it. The second period, April 2013 to March 2015, was different. In 2014, shifting responsibilities at my company meant I'd be travelling internationally once in a while instead of not at all. And indeed I racked up more than 20 thousand miles at Korean Air during the year.
The miles could be either be exclusively from Korean Air flights, or at least 20 thousand of those flight miles with the rest coming from affiliate companies. The latter is tentatively valid until 2016, but the offer had been extending for a long time. With the minimum Korean Air flight miles fulfilled, I checked for ways to fill the affiliate miles before my period was up. The most viable ways for me were the conversion of reward points from Shinhan Card and OK Cashbag to miles.

Running from our sin. It's a natural tendency to want to flee and hide when we are confronted with the reality of our own sinfulness and the ugliness of the sin.
We want it etched from our memories. We want a fresh start. We long for forgiveness.
My son recently turned 4 and he is at an age where he is becoming more cognizant of his fleshly reality. It's a difficult age, for many reasons, but it is also an exciting age in that he is very moldable and teachable.
I began a series on #GraceForTheSinner a few months back because, after a personal experience of coming to grips with pride in my heart, I felt compelled that there might be others who needed to be reminded of the grace that comes from Christ Jesus. Not a cheap grace that requires no repentance on our part nor grace that doesn't result in obedience. Rather, the grace that is taught in Scripture came at a very costly price (the life of God's Son), yet is given to any and all who believe and is more powerful than any of sin's grip on our lives.
Looking back, I had some unrealistic expectations for Mother's Day given the age of my child. Yet, somehow I had conjured up images of a day where Philip would be easy and obedient, a day where I got to do what I wanted to do, and a day full of thanksgiving for all that I give to my family. Ahhh. What a nice thought. Isn't that what Mother's Day is all about anyway?
Both Osvaldo and I prepped Philip for the day. "Sunday is Mother's Day, that means we get to celebrate Mommy for all that she does for us." "You're going to be a good boy on Mother's Day for Mommy, right?" spoken in an almost pleading voice.
I'm shaking my head as I even put down on paper the tactic we were using to produce an obedient child for one day. Parents make mistakes too!
It would have been one thing if Philip had been his normal self on Mother's Day – fun and delightful with a few issues here or there. But no. He began the day and finished the day as a completely different child. He was the exact opposite of the child I had imagined for the day. Screaming, throwing himself down in tantrum style, spitting, kicking, talking back, saying "No," are just a few of the things we dealt with on Mother's Day.
Every parent knows exactly what I'm talking about. It was as if the more we tried to produce a good child, the more he rebelled and became exactly the opposite child we were wanting him not to be.
We decided it would be best to talk to Philip in his bedroom. Osvaldo began the conversation with, "Philip, no matter what you do, we love you. Our love for you will never change. We will never stop loving you." Then he followed with, "We are always ready to forgive you when you come to us and say, 'I'm sorry.'" From there he told Philip what it was that he had done that we did not like.
Then we left. We closed the door until there was just a crack and left him in his room to think about these things. A few minutes later, I went to peek through the crack to see what he was doing. What I found was that Philip was going around in a circle and every time he stepped on his Superman cape, which was lying on the floor, he grunted.
When we brought him out of the room shortly afterwards, we asked Philip what he was doing in his room. This is what he said: "I was trying to get away from all the bad things I did." And in his 4 year old speech that needs my translation he explained that he was stepping on his Superman cape to give him the power he needed to get away from those bad things.
"Jesus makes the cross for you" is Philip's way of saying that Jesus forgives you. Jesus, because of what he did on the cross, can take away those bad things from you – to make them as far as the east is from the west.
John Newton, famously known for penning the words to that great hymn, "Amazing Grace," was an unlikely person to come to faith in Jesus. Prior to his redemption, Newton was a cursing, blaspheming sailor who lived in the 18th century. He lived a life of complete immorality, who immersed himself in the evils of the slave trade and made women and alcohol his hobbies.
This was the beginning of Newton coming to terms with the great grace Jesus offers to him because of what he did on the cross.
John Newton Once an infidel and libertine A servant of slaves in Africa Was By the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Preserved, Restored, Pardoned And Appointed to preach the faith He had long laboured to destroy.
Jesus made the cross for John Newton.
Jesus makes the cross for Philip.
Jesus makes the cross for Grandpa.
Jesus makes the cross for me.
Jesus makes the cross for you.
*My quotes from John Newton and about John Newton come from Jonathan Aitken's "John Newton: From Disgrace to Amazing Grace."
A few days ago I celebrated Ash Wednesday, the day that marks the beginning of the season of Lent. Lent is a time when Christians historically have prepared themselves for the celebration of Easter by repenting, fasting and reflecting on their humanity and deep need of a Savior. The Ash Wednesday service is meant to remind each person of his or her mortality.
In thinking about the Grace for the Sinner series in light of Ash Wednesday and Lent, I am reminded that we cannot fully understand the grace Jesus Christ offers without first understanding our great need of it. It is when we are aware of our own mortality and sinfulness that the grace of Christ can become a transformative reality in our lives. We cannot be pardoned of our sins without first acknowledging that we have sin that needs pardoning. It is in this broken, aware-of-sin, repentant state that Jesus meets us and pardons us.
This is where we find David in Psalm 51. Unlike his predecessor Saul, when David was confronted with his sin (the one where he killed a man and committed adultery) David acknowledged it and repented (cf. 1 Sam. 12:13ff). It is sometime after the prophet Nathan's confrontation with David that David composed Psalm 51.
David begins the psalm with a plea for God's mercy. "Have mercy on me, O God." This is a cry that probably many of us know well. I am a sinner! Have mercy on me, O God!
Recently I, too, pleaded before God, "Have mercy on me." I have an inclination to want to control my life. This desire to control materialized in two ways recently. For one, my husband and I have been trying to conceive. For several weeks I was obsessed with wanting to control the circumstances surrounding conception as well as obsessing with signs and tests that would tell me if I were pregnant. I became anxious and tried to exert "control" by talking and thinking about it obsessively. Secondly, I hate flying. I am scared of the idea of falling, but most of all I don't like the feeling of being completely out of control of the situation. I don't know how to fly an airplane if a pilot got sick and they needed an extra one. I can't control the weather to make it so that we have perfect flying conditions. As we were to fly home a few days ago, I tried to control the uncontrollable by again obsessively worrying about the flight. I dreamt about it. I talked about it. I looked at the weather app non-stop. I was physically sick to my stomach as my nerves only increased with each day that grew closer to the day of our flight.
It was in the midst of trying to control two uncontrollable situations that my husband, like Nathan, spoke truth into my life. He said, "Kristen, you trying to control these situations is idolatrous." His words were like a sharp arrow to my soul. Conviction spread across my body. And as I left that conversation in prayer the rest of the day, God began speaking to me about this area of sin. In my frail attempt at trying to exert some control over these situations I had made for myself an idol. I was trying to sit in God's rightful place as sovereign Lord of my life. Instead of trusting God, I was trying to manipulate God or rather manipulate the situations as if God had no role and was nonexistent. This is a serious sin and one that I am ashamed to admit to you today.
"Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions."
God's mercy is dependent on and a natural causation of God's great and abounding love for us. If we get what we deserve according to our sins God is just and blameless (Ps. 51:4)! But mercy gives us what we do not deserve as it acts not according to our sin but according to God's steadfast love.
David recognizes his sin and his deep, deep need for forgiveness. "For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight."
Over and over again in Scripture God pleads with his children to recognize their sin for what it is so that they might repent and so that he might show mercy (cf. Psalm 103:8-19).
The first step in receiving the grace and mercy of our great God is acknowledging sin and turning from it. And when God pardons you and me from sin it is not a pardoning with strings attached or pardoning that lasts only for a night. No. Grace, like its giver, doesn't wear out with time or change like the moods of humans but rather is steady and sure. Grace does the work for which God intends it.
David in his prayer says, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me (v. 10)." The goal of the believer when he or she leaves that place of repentance and pardoning is a clean heart. God cleans up the sin and mess we make and sets our hearts back on him and on truth. He restores the joy of our salvation and places his praise on our lips (Ps. 51:12, 15).
I was still a little nervous when I flew home earlier this week, but I did not want to sin against God in the way that I had before. So I prayed that He would help me to trust in his sovereignty and his perfect will for my life. For those two flights home he placed an off-duty pilot going home across the aisle, a woman next to me whose hand I needed to hold because she was nervous, and a senator from Tennessee who loves the Lord. He surrounded me with people that brought calm and comfort to me. God is so, so good to us even when our terrible sin against him deserves the worst for us. He showed goodness and mercy and kindness to me by not only pardoning my sin but placing people to comfort me in the midst of something difficult. That, my friends, is great, amazing grace.
What areas of your life need cleansing? Is there sin in your life that you are refusing to recognize as sin? Or, are you aware of your sin but afraid to turn to God? Like me, do you sin against God by trying to take control of your life through worry or manipulation? Are you guilty of idolatry? Slander? Failure to trust God? Hate? Greed? Lust? Lies?
Spend a few moments confessing to God knowing that He is ready to meet you with grace and mercy and that He is ready to make your heart clean, your spirit right so that you might walk in truth and righteousness.
When we sin as Christians, we immediately (should) feel shame.
When I lose my temper with my spouse or child, when I hurt a friend with my words, when I break the rules, or when I lie, what inevitably results is shame. I feel so ashamed I don't know how to face myself let alone God. What will God think of me? Will he still love me? Will he be able to forgive me again or for such a sin as this?
These are thoughts and questions many of us experience in the heat of our shame. How do I approach God? How will God respond? Many times in my shame I want to run away or hide from God. Have you been to that place?
I think a good place to turn in our Bibles to address these questions is to the very beginning. Prior to the Fall, the author of Genesis describes the condition of the first man and woman in the garden as that of innocence and purity. They "were both naked and were not ashamed" (Gen. 2:25) as a result of being in a right relationship with God.
Then some time later the serpent enticed the first couple with his lies and the woman and man fell for it and sinned against God. Because of their sin, they went from being in a state of honor to a state of shame. "Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked."
They tried covering up their nakedness, their shame, with some fig leaves, but when God came "walking in the garden in the cool of the day" they still hid themselves even though they were "clothed."
"But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, 'Where are you?' And he said, 'I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.'"
Why was Adam still afraid of being naked if the text just told us he and Eve had made clothes for themselves? There are several possible reasons. Possibly "because I was naked" meant he was now conscious that he was naked. Possibly because his attempt at clothing was poorly done and he still felt ashamed to be naked. Possibly because it signified that he ate the fruit and sinned. I think all three possibilities are very plausible. The point is that when Adam and Eve sinned it caused distrust in their relationship with God that was once full of trust.
But God, after issuing the punishment that was justly deserved, looked upon this first couple whom He had made with compassion and mercy. He saw them in their misery and shame and before sending them away performed an act of mercy. He clothed them. "And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them" (3:21).
God takes their shame and covers it with grace. He replaces their poor attempt at clothes with something better that will cover them, protect them and keep them warm. To be sure, though, the garments -- this act of mercy -- came at a cost; it costed the lives of animals.
The beauty of this account is that it is both historical and universal. The Genesis account tells us the story of our ancestors as well as the story of our own humanity. This story, in addition to being about a particular time in history, is a dramatization of what happens every time we sin.
How often have you hid from the Lord because you were afraid and ashamed over your sin? Our sin breaks a trust that we have with our God and causes us to doubt and fear Him. But what I witness about the character of God from the very beginning proves to be true over and over in Scripture. That is that in our misery and shame God looks down on us with compassion and acts mercifully toward us.
When you sin, instead of running away or hiding from God, turn to God in repentance knowing that He is rich in mercy and will look upon you with compassion.
Here is the cool thing. When Adam and Eve left the garden they left with clothes stained with the blood of animals. When we as the people of God reenter the garden we, too, will be clothed with garments made by God. But these garments will be white, and they will have come at a different cost. This time it will not be the cost of an animal, but rather it will have come at a greater cost — the blood of God, the incarnate Son.
"'...For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure' — for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints."
"But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law ... the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe."
God's mercy which was evident from the beginning continues throughout time, even to today, until the kingdom of God is fulfilled. So when you sin, when you experience great shame, turn to a God full of compassion and mercy who wants to meet you and cover your shame.
Yesterday, I lost my temper with my son, Philip.
After that brief moment where I lost all sense of calm and cool and acted like the child to whom I was directing my frustration, I felt very, very low. I was ashamed. Sad. Broken. Broken-hearted. Upset with myself. I couldn't lift my head out of my hands to face the shame that I felt and the depth of my sin.
This wasn't the first time I had been to that place of deep sorrow over my sin, and sadly probably not the last. It took recitation of Scripture, tearful praying to God for forgiveness, and apologizing to Philip before I was able to find the strength to leave that place.
This is where I hope Grace for the Sinner series will be a blessing. In this new series, I want to explore Scripture's teaching on forgiveness and grace. These will be (or at least should be) short devotionals/reflections that I hope will bring you in deeper conversation with and understanding of God and the gifts of grace and forgiveness that He makes available to the repentant.
In this series I hope you will find grace, whether you find yourself as the impatient parent, the self-centered spouse, the disrespectful child, the unforgiving friend, the wannabe perfectionist, the over-controlling individual, the gossiper or [fill in the blank]. Here I also hope you will be reminded of and will find a perfect God who loves and redeems imperfect people.
I was first introduced to the song below at our church in England, and I immediately took to the lyrics. The message of the song is to come as you are -- a sinner -- to Jesus and discover the love and grace he has to offer. "Come, all you vagabonds, come all you don't-belongs, winners and losers, come people like me." Jesus offers grace to the sinner.
Come all you vagabonds, come all you don't-belongs winners and losers, come people like me; come all you travelers, tired from the journey wait a while, stay a while, welcomed you'll be.
Come all you questioners, looking for answers and searching for reason and sense in it all; come all you fallen, and come all you broken, find strength for your body and food for your soul.
Come, those who worry about houses and money and all those who don't have a care in the world, from every station and orientation the helpless, the hopeless, the young and the old.
Come all believers, and dreamers, and schemers, and come all you restless and searching for home; movers and shakers, and givers and takers, the happy, the sad, the lost and alone.
Come self-sufficient with wearied ambition and come those who feel at the end of the road; fiery debaters, and religion haters, accusers, abusers, the hurt and ignored.
Chorus: Come to the feast, there is room at the table! Come, let us meet in this place with the king of all kindness who welcomes us in with the wonder of love and the power of grace, the wonder of love and the power of grace.

Iran sanctions become law without Obama's signature
US president Barack Obama has unexpectedly declined to sign legislation renewing sanctions against Iran - but has let it become law anyway.
Former US President Barack Obama
US president Barack Obama has unexpectedly declined to sign legislation renewing sanctions against Iran – but has let it become law anyway.
Mr Obama faced a midnight deadline to sign the 10-year renewal of the decades-old sanctions law and the White House said he was expected to sign it.
But White House press secretary Josh Earnest said on Thursday Mr Obama was letting it become law without his signature, saying he retained authority to waive all nuclear sanctions lifted as part of the deal reached with Tehran.
Iran's president had vowed to respond if the sanctions were renewed, arguing that they violate terms of the nuclear deal. The White House disagreed but said Mr Obama would sign it begrudgingly, despite deeming it unnecessary.
President-elect Donald Trump has been sharply critical of the nuclear deal.
Under the US Constitution, the president has 10 days after Congress passes a bill to sign it, veto it or let it become law with no signature if Congress is still in session.
Although members have returned home for Christmas, Congress technically has not adjourned and is holding "pro-forma" sessions this week.
Though Mr Obama's move does not prevent the sanctions renewal from entering force, it marked a symbolic attempt by the president to demonstrate disapproval for politicians' actions.
The White House has argued that the renewal is unnecessary because the administration retains other authorities to punish Iran if necessary, and has expressed concern that the renewal may undermine the nuclear deal.
Iran's government has complained to the United Nations about the renewal and on Tuesday, the president ordered up plans to build nuclear-powered ships and to formally accuse the US of breaking the terms of the deal.
Yet US politicians argued that renewing the law, first passed in 1996 and renewed several times since, was critical to maintaining pressure on Iran to abide by the deal and to pushing back on Tehran's other troubling behaviour in the region. The bill passed the Senate unanimously and the House of Representatives by an overwhelming margin.
The Obama administration stressed that Iran would be unaffected by the renewal as long as it continues honouring the nuclear deal. Secretary of state John Kerry said he told his Iranian counterpart that "to ensure maximum clarity" he had issued new, redundant waivers exempting Iran from sanctions lifted under the deal.
"Extension of the Iran Sanctions Act does not affect in any way the scope of the sanctions relief Iran is receiving under the deal or the ability of companies to do business in Iran consistent with the JCPOA," Mr Kerry said, using an acronym for the deal.
Mr Trump has threatened to try to renegotiate the deal and Israel's prime minister has said he plans to lobby Mr Trump to undo it.
Republican supporters of the sanctions had argued that renewing them would ensure that Mr Trump would have the authority to reinstate penalties that Mr Obama eased.
Under the nuclear deal, the US and world powers suspended sweeping oil, trade and other financial sanctions that had devastated Iran's economy.
In return Tehran agreed to roll back its nuclear programme, though the deal's critics say the agreement is flawed because it did not halt all Iranian activity, and key restrictions eventually expire.

Daniel Radcliffe and His 'Swiss Army Man' Dummy: What We Learned From This Dynamic Duo On A24's NYC Bus Tour
A24 hosted Daniel Radcliffe and his dummy on the first of many promotional bus tours for "Swiss Army Man" on Monday.
Graham Winfrey
Daniel Radcliffe and his dummy.
Climbing aboard A24's double-decker bus for a "Swiss Army Man" promotional ride around New York, the first thing we saw was a dead Daniel Radcliffe sitting alone in the back row.
The creepily realistic-looking dummy used in the movie for stunts is just one of the bizarre props A24 brought along for the ride with two dozen journalists, all of whom received gift bags with small, portable bongs made of rubber, plus free beer for the ride. "I don't know if it's legal, but we're going with it," said A24's Nicolette Aizenberg, adding that the bus did not have a bathroom.
The feature film debut of music video directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan -— collectively known as "Daniels" —"Swiss Army Man" centers on Hank (Paul Dano), a man stranded on a deserted island who makes a friend when a corpse named Manny (Radcliffe) washes up on shore. In short order, the dead guy's unseemly bodily functions figure heavily in the plot.
It's not an easy sell, but then, A24 has a pretty good recent track record for tricky commercial propositions: Earlier this year, the company released the slow-burn horror film "The Witch" to a healthy $25 million domestic box office, and the idiosyncratic dystopian drama "The Lobster" raked in $7.5 million in limited release.
Needless to say, if anyone can come up with a clever strategy for selling the story of a farting corpse, it's these guys. So there we were, riding around with Manny in Manhattan.
After barreling south on Broadway and then 11th Avenue, the bus made a stop on Little West 12th Street to pick up the real Radcliffe, who immediately grabbed a microphone and began telling stories about sharing an acting role with a life-sized replica of himself. "You inevitably get very stupid with the dummies and just start doing very stupid stuff with them on set," he said. Asked if it felt weird to be sitting next to what looked like a deceased version of himself, Radcliffe explained that he'd been through similar experiences during production of the "Harry Potter" films. "I've seen myself look weird and disembodied before," he said.
Monday's bus tour was the first of several similar tours A24 is launching for "Swiss Army Man," which will bring Radcliffe and his slightly paler doppelgänger to Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Miami and Washington D.C.
The distributor is quickly building a reputation for outside-the-box marketing. During South by Southwest Film Festival, the company created an automated Tinder profile for the "Ex Machina" character Ava and tricked a number of men into thinking they were trading messages with a real person. There is also a Twitter account for the demonic goat from "The Witch" and an online quiz you can take to determine which animal you should become, taken from the premise of "The Lobster."
The "Swiss Army Man" promotional bus tour offering free beer and selfie opportunities with Radcliffe and his twin dummy is one of A24's most outside-the-box ideas yet. "It's rare that you have a client that's like, 'Let's get as weird as possible,'" said Evan Starkman, president of marketing firm The Bait Shoppe, which is coordinating the bus tours with A24. The "boutique experiental agency " works with companies to create immersive marketing campaigns in ways that ideally have never been done before. We're going to buy a bunch of pot in Denver," Starkman said. Maybe that explains the bongs in the gift bag.
Still, pulling off strange promotional stunts like this isn't something large companies are necessarily willing do, according to Starkman. "We work with a lot of traditional companies, so it's very cool for us to see a company like A24 pushing the boundaries, getting cool movies, and doing cool things for the movies," he said. "You've got to find the right people when you're going to drag a dummy around several cities and through airports."
Nearly everyone on the bus tour remarked that the dummy looked pretty good for having been through an entire movie shoot. At the end of the tour, Radcliffe made the dubious claim that there were multiple dummies on set, one of which even suffered a raccoon attack. "The raccoon just instinctively went for the dummy's eyes and tried to rip them out," he said. "Somehow we managed to get through the production with enough of them intact."
"Swiss Army Man" opens theatrically in New York and Los Angeles on June 24 and nationwide on July 1.

I do enjoy the way you have framed this matter plus it really does supply me some fodder for thought. On the other hand, coming from everything that I have observed, I only wish as other commentary pile on that people keep on point and don't embark on a tirade involving some other news du jour. Still, thank you for this fantastic point and while I do not necessarily agree with the idea in totality, I value your viewpoint.

The House Judiciary Committee wants McGahn to testify on May 21.
Sen. Lindsey Graham jokes while speaking to the Spartanburg County GOP: "How do you get to be the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, do you know? You outlive everybody to your right, you keep getting reelected."
In today's headlines: President Trump said today he is "not even a little bit" worried about impeachment. Meanwhile, the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed his former White House counsel, Don McGahn.
This morning, and I walked out of the Judiciary Committee markup on Brett Kavanaugh. This Committee and the Republicans have tossed out all rules and norms to push Brett Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court. We will not be part of this sham.
"What happened to me has happened to many, many other men... I have had thousands and thousands of men come to me and say, 'Me too.'"
Terry Crews shared some powerful words during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on sexual assault legislation.
House Judiciary Committee Vice Chair Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon joins #MTPDaily to discuss Trump fighting the Democrats' subpoenas and what the Democrats' end game is in its standoff with Trump.
WATCH: House Judiciary Committee Vice Chair Mary Gay Scanlon joins #MTPDaily to discuss Trump fighting the Democrats' subpoenas and what the Democrats' end game is in its standoff with Trump.
Also asked Hogan about his late father, Congressman Lawrence Hogan of Md, the only GOP member of the House Judiciary Committee to vote for all three articles of impeachment against Nixon. What, I asked Gov. Hogan, would his father be counseling him to do if he was alive today?
Today the Alabama Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill to legalize medical marijuana for people with certain conditions. Now it moves to the full state Senate for debate.
Do you approve of legalizing medical marijuana in Alabama?
@LindseyGrahamSC Resign. If you are the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and opposed to the enforcement of the law or unaware of your oath and obligations to the Constitution, you must go.
"We're fighting all the subpoenas," President Trump said, in remarks to reporters moments ago. He was asked about the House Judiciary Committee's subpoena for former WH counsel Don McGahn.
9:15AM: Judiciary Committee with Chair @JohnEklundOH will meet in the North Hearing Room.
.@JerryNadler wants the full Mueller report made public.
Where was he in Dec. 2017 when we asked FBI Director Wray to give the Judiciary Committee the FISA Application?
The same FISA application that used the Clinton-funded Dossier to get a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.
We continue to find more evidence that Judge Kavanaugh misled me and the Judiciary Committee under oath. I'm posting important documents that Senate Republicans didn't want the American people to see. We deserve transparency about this nominee.
Democrats in the House will not be deterred by the @NRA.
That's why the Judiciary Committee held a hearing today on #HR8, a bill mandating background checks on firearm purchases. Keeping guns from criminals or domestic abusers is common sense.
BREAKING: Judiciary Committee Democrats have requested Brett Kavanaugh's hearing be postponed.


Some months ago I was talking to a friend about Christianity. She told me she used to be a Christian but she stopped when her mum died. Unfortunately, the backstory of so many who have stopped believing in God.
The question that readily comes to mind is "What was the foundation of their belief".
The foundation of our belief as Christians is what enables us to see God for who he truly is and not what we feel, think or where told by 'some man of God'.
God's goodness shouldn't be limited to the state of events in our lives, because that implies his goodness is conditional.
Scripture: Gen 1.1-2, 28-30, Gen 2.15-18, Eph 2.10, 1Cor 2.8-12, Psalm 139. 7-18, 2 Cor 3.2- 3, John13.35, John 14.15, John 15.26, 2 Tim 3.16, Psalm 119.103, Psalm 19.7-10.
Some Christians have the believe that why they do not enjoy the manifestation of God's divine works in their lives is because they do not have enough faith. While some automatically exclude themselves from such divine works and limit it to 'biblical times' some others go on the journey of 'building up their faith'. However, what they are actually doing is trying to have faith in faith as opposed to faith in God.
TEXT : 2 TIM 4 vs 7-10.
Accomplishment is something that is successfully carried out, it is the successful achievement of a task. It may interest you to know that not to him that started well has accomplished, but to him, that ends /finish well. Eccl 7 vs 8a. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof.
Your starting matters, but your finishing is the most important.
Looking at the character in our text of this morning, we will see that Paul's beginning was a doom, as far as the kingdom of God is concerned, but his end was worth emulating. 2 Tim 4 vs 7-8.

Q: How can I remove null from JSON object with AngularJS? I'm trying to remove an object from Json Object it works..but it replace it with null..i dont know why, how can i remove the null value from the json..heres the function :
company.deleteExternalLinkFromGrid = function (row, matricule) {
        // console.log('Inside of deleteModal, code = ' + code);
        //$scope.sitting= {};
       console.log(matricule);
        //console.log(JSON.stringify(linkJsonObj));
        delete linkJsonObj[matricule];

        console.log(JSON.stringify(linkJsonObj));
    };

heres the object:

[{"name":"xxx","link":"www.ddd.com","id":0,"$$hashKey":"uiGrid-001Z"},null,null]

A: You can use filter(),  x will be without null's.
function test()
{
    var x =[{"name":"xxx","link":"www.ddd.com","id":0,"$$hashKey":"uiGrid-001Z"},null,null].filter(isNotNull);
    alert(JSON.stringify(x));

}

function isNotNull(value) {
  return value != null;
}

fiddle

A: There are multiple ways to delete an object from an array of objects in JavaScript. You don't need AngularJS for that, you can use VanillaJS.
If you just want the nulls filtered you can use
var yourArray =[{"name":"xxx","link":"www.ddd.com","id":0,"$$hashKey":"uiGrid-001Z"},null,null];
     yourArray = yourArray.filter(function(elt){
     return elt != null;
    });

But this loses the original reference to your object.
If you want to keep the reference, Use array.splice().
  yourArray.forEach(function(){
      yourArray.splice(yourArray.indexOf(null),1);
  });

now you will have null less array in yourArray. This actually deletes an object from an array without changing the reference,

A: delete will replaced the object with undefined
You can filter the array to remove them using Array#filter()

var array = [{
  "name": "xxx",
  "link": "www.ddd.com",
  "id": 0,
  "$$hashKey": "uiGid-001Z"
}, {
  "name": "xx",
  "link": "www.dddcom",
  "id": 1,
  "$$hashey": "uiGrid-0029"
}, {
  "name": "xxx",
  "link": "www.ddd.com",
  "id": 2
}];

delete array[1];

array = array.filter(a=>a);

console.log(JSON.stringify(array));

Alternate History Discussion: Before 1900
Are there any parallels to the Louisiana/Alaska purchases for other countries?
Thread starter matashowski
matashowski
Reading a book on the history of Alaska as a Russian colony, and its occurred to me how truly fortunate the US has been, having huge swaths of land sold to them by rival empires for dirt cheap. I get that each case was a unique product of circumstances, but it is still amazing, considering the lives and treasure sacrificed to win territory in other times and places. So it got me wondering, have other countries benefited the same way? I realize there are many examples of large land transfers, but its often at the barrel of a gun.
Tonifranz
Could the purchase of Rupert's Land to Canada count?
funnyhat
Genoa transferred Corsica to France* to resolve its debts - and because it had lost control of the island.
*(Although the Genoans theoretically kept sovereignty at first. It was complicated.)
And of course, there's the bequest of Attalus III of his kingdom to Rome, as well as that of Cyrenaica being bequeated by Ptolemy Apion and Bithynia being bequeated by Nicomedes IV to Rome.
I guess Treaty of Nystad though not sure if that truly qualifies even though Sweeden received a payment. There are few others but none quite as big Louisiana or Alaska. Germany purchasing islands from Spain, Flores purchase, Saint Barthélemy.
The Donation of Constantine was a pretty cheap deal for the papacy, seeing as it gave them control over the Western Roman Empire, and all it cost them was someone to forge a document for them.
Wasn't the Belgian Congo purchased by the king of Belgium and effectively ran as his personal realm.

The Treaty of Tordesillas? Admittedly Portugal didn't realize how much of the New World she was conceding to Spain...
SeaCambrian
List of territory purchased by a sovereign nation from another sovereign nation - Wikipedia
In this (admittedly incomplete) list, half the entries are the US.
Beyond the aforementioned examples, Scotland did buy the Isles from Norway, Pakistan bought Gwadar from the Soviets, and Prussia bought Saxe-Lauenburg from Austria, but somehow these don't seem to match the cheap purchases of a third to half of a continent.
Probably some examples from ancient times not thought of as purchases could be included, and fiefs as dynastic dowries from the middle ages might be as well.
SeaCambrian said:
Remember that both Alaska and (apart from the New Orleans and to a lesser extent St. Louis areas) Louisiana were very sparsely inhabited. Moreover, the extent to which either would ever be heavily inhabited was doubted, especially with Alaska. (With Louisiana it was clear that the area immediately west of the Mississippi would be settled, but beyond that the Great Plains and Rockies were "the Great American Desert "--fit maybe for Indian tribes who lived by hunting but probably not for large populations of white farmers and townspeople.) There were really no analogous areas of comparable size in Europe. Also, Alaska was unusual because after the Crimean War the Russians decided it was indefensible anyway, while many Americans didn't think it was of too great value in itself but might "cage the British lion on the Pacific coast." https://books.google.com/books?id=d2maug_3uAAC&pg=PA109

Tour Lena Dunham's Vibrant Girls Dressing Room

There's nothing Lena Dunham creates that doesn't bring us a little sense of wonder. She's crazily creative, funny, smart, clever, quirky, and provocative and incredibly driven—all the qualities we admire in a working woman. Needless to say, when the creator, writer, and star of Girls invited us for a tour of her dressing room in New York, we jumped at the chance—eager to see what kind of dreamland both inspires and rejuvenates her during her downtime.
How Dunham spends her time in the pastel pink lounge is very simple, she tells us: "40% work, 30% nap, and 30% snack." Spending as many as 18 hours a day at the studio, she wanted "desperately to be able to retreat, meditate, rewrite, secretly snack, and yes, nap HARD," she says. "I also love gathering my castmates and writing staff, or just gossiping with my partner Jenni Konner." To that end, she tasked her assistant and friend Liz Watson with helping her to create "a serene yet playful space that felt like home."

This personal "lady cave" was also a unique opportunity for Dunham to express her aesthetic. "This is my house on steroids," she says. "I would love my whole life to be pinks and patterns (and for the most part it is), but I also share my home with a male partner [musician Jack Antonoff], and while he loves pink, he has his own design ideas. Let's just say when he moved in he brought a bronze bust of JFK and about 600 records."
With layers of pastels, pops of vibrant color, geometric prints galore, spirited accessories, and whimsical original artwork, the room feels decidedly Dunham—feminine and strong, but also lighthearted, youthful, and carefree. She puts it perfectly: "I love the chance to make a space feel like the inside of your mind."

One of our favorite moments is her collection of colorfully framed drawings by artist Grace Miceli, who she discovered through Laia Garcia, the associate editor of Dunham and Konner's soon-to-launch editorial venture, LennyLetter.com. "Long before Laia was my co-worker, I saw her on a red carpet at a Girls premiere in an amazing sweatshirt and demanded to know the woman behind it, and that woman was Grace," she says. "I feel deep kinship with her aesthetic: playful yet provocative, pop yet moody. I selected these images from a collection of girls she has already drawn, and she threw the one of me in for free, which was an honor."
An admitted bargain hunter, Dunham tells us she loves Etsy "the most" when it comes to design resources. "I love searching everything from 'lamb pillow' to 'baby blue trunk' and seeing what happens," she says. "The deals I've found on there have been mind-blowing. Also, several times I've tried to buy a couch or chair at a shockingly low price, only to realize it was dollhouse furniture."
Her love for Etsy has also created a challenge of sorts: editing. "My boyfriend would argue our home is my own personal Etsy graveyard," she says, "and that my issue is paring things down and making choices—hence our eight ottomans (they were cheap!)."
Dunham looked to curated online vintage marketplace Chairish to find statement-making vintage furniture and décor, such as her pink-striped Knoll chairs, which bring the space unique character and one-of-a-kind style. For on-trend pieces, Dunham turns to shops like West Elm, CB2, and Anthropologie. "It's the way I get my fix of faddish things (ikat, tons of Lucite) without regretting the expense." And for playful accessories like needlepoint bargello pillows and "Prozac" cookie jars, she says, "Jonathan Adler is a king to me!"

Creating a welcoming workspace has had a transformative effect, she says. "You simply can't expect yourself to perform to the best of your abilities when your days are spent in a windowless room with buzzing ceiling lights and a moldy sink," she says. "I was always scared that the moment I decorated, we would get canceled. But why not enjoy every moment of the ride? And that means adorable pillows and sexy jars for my Excedrin."

The premise of The Nutcracker has got to be every child's fantasy. What kid doesn't want their favorite toy to come to life? Of course, today it would be Transformers, Barbie and He-Man action figures. Wait, do kids still play with action figures? Does anyone out there know what Transformers are? Hmmm...maybe we're showing our age. Regardless, the Prince is the last character from The Nutcracker in our calendar.
We wanted to make a fairly straightforward cocktail with a dominant nut flavour for the Nutcracker Prince. We decided to use an old fashioned as the base cocktail. To switch it up, we infused the bourbon with walnuts and then balanced the cocktail with maraschino liqueur.
Put the brown sugar and bitters into a cocktail shaker. Stir together to slightly dissolve the sugar into the bitters. Add the bourbon, maraschino liqueur, and ice. Squeeze the orange rind to release the oils into the mixture and add to the shaker. Swirl with a bar spoon until the cocktail is cold. Strain over ice.
Maraschino is a very complex liqueur. Slightly cherry tasting, it is more bitter than sweet. Here, it is not meant to add a cherry flavour but add an extra dimension to the cocktail. Brandy could be substituted if maraschino is unavailable.
DSB bitters are Dillon's version of Angostura bitters. If you can't find DSB, Angostura can be substituted.
The Nutcracker Prince cocktail is the half-way point in our Advent Calendar of Cocktails (wow!!). Thanks for being with us! We've got some interesting drinks planned for the next 12 days. We'd love to hear from you - leave a comment if you've tried any of these. And please, share with your friends.
This is a version of The Nutcracker that you may have not seen - a Soviet animated version from 1973. Awesome!!
Well you, we wanted to make sure that you folks on the east coast had a drink option once happy hour rolled around.


When monitoring our cash flow we need to consider how inflation will affect our cash inflows and outflows going forward. Inflation has the potential to be a real cash pig in the future and could become a major problem for people when it comes to the outflows—their expenses.

The environment in which we live will determine where inflation is going in the future, and there's nothing you can do to stop it, or even predict it.
But that doesn't mean we should give up and ignore it.
Before we try to go to battle with the mythical inflation monster, let's try to understand what it's all about.
A persistent, substantial rise in the general level of prices related to an increase in the volume of money and resulting in the loss of value of currency.
Inflation simply means that the price of goods and services is rising. If, for example, we bought a bottle of water for $1 on January 1 and a year later that same bottle cost $1.02 that would be a 2% rate of inflation. It also means that the purchasing power of $1 is declining since the same dollar can't buy the same bottle of water a year from now.
