Local Writer Volunteers His Talent and Advertising Experience To Help Boost Bernie Sanders
By Paul Steven Stone
( Click on to enlarge)
If you follow what's happening on the internet, you will witness the Democratic Party's political battle for the American presidency being fought fast and furiously in the trenches. Featuring home-made videos, media story hyperlinks and highly creative memes hyping or haranguing the candidates, this battle allows the followers of both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders to personally engage in the battle for the hearts and minds of the voting public.
As a politically astute writer with progressive leanings, I was surprisingly unaware of Bernie Sanders for the first half year of his campaign. But then as I listened and watched him move across the country espousing the very same beliefs and observations I had developed over the last 30 years—especially after the protests of the Occupy Movement—I began to, yes!, 'Feel The Bern.' And next I knew I was stepping wholly into the fray, creating an entire ad campaign with the aid of a partner who would design the ads. Together we help people start to realize (mirroring my own experience) just who Bernie Sanders is, and what he stands for.
Our first ad in our "CHANNELING BERNIE" ad campaign, a series of 36 ads so far, created to elevate the underwhelming online communications I had seen coming out of Bernie's camp. It was an effort wholly epic in the great American tradition. Two advertising veterans creating an online campaign for Bernie Sanders' seemingly quixotic reach for the presidency.
It's been an amazing journey, creating these ads, one in which I've honestly felt like I've been channeling the candidate's vision and perspective. Of course, there's always the possibility he's been in my head over the years and I just didn't know it. Check out the campaign at http://www.paulstonesthrow.com/channeling-bernie-the-complete-series/ and decide for yourself.
A short word about the unusual format of the ads themselves. I recently saw an ad from an advertising award show that gave me the idea to have my headlines serve as the start and finish to the ad's entire text, creating a sandwich effect, so to speak. It just meant I would create each ad's headline in two pieces, an interesting effect by itself, no matter what the message might be.
I'm not sure why, but the ads proved to be highly compelling and more readable than the usual run of political online or print ads.
As to why, it could be I've excited the reader's natural curiosity about how I, the ad-maker, forced the start and the finish of the copy to fit within the narrative flow. Or there might be some momentum-building effect by having the beginning of an ad suddenly leap to the ad's conclusion? Either way, the ads are uniquely readable in this format.
And so, with art direction by Bill Dahlgren, concept and copy by Paul Steven Stone, I offer for your inspection, enjoyment and further distribution the 36—Count 'Em!— 36 ads that make up the Primary Phase of our "Channeling Bernie" advertising campaign.
Whether Bernie wins or loses his campaign, I will certainly feel I did my best!

Tess Gallagher to read at the Hastings Room Reading Series April 18, 2016
TESS GALLAGHER reads
with LARRY MATSUDA
from their collaborative book of poems
Boogie-Woogie Crisscross presented by
Marc Vincenz, editor of MadHat Press and Plume Editions
with the Hastings Room Reading Series
Monday April 18, 7:00–9:00 pm
The Friends Meeting House
5 Longfellow Park
(opposite the Longfellow House)
Tess Gallagher's latest book is Midnight Lantern: New and Selected Poems (Graywolf, 2011). She recently
companioned the film BIRDMAN, which includes her late husband Raymond Carver's story: "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love." She lives and writes in Port Angeles, Washington, her birthplace, as well as intervals spent in her cottage in the west of Ireland, where all of the poems included here were written in
her chair that overlooks a green field in County Sligo.
Lawrence Matsuda was born in the Minidoka, Idaho, World War II Relocation Center, one of the concentration camps where approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans were held without due process. Matsuda has a Ph.D. in education and was a visiting professor at Seattle University.
In 2015 he completed two graphic novels with artist Matt Sasaki and interviews with Japanese American
fighters from the 442nd and their relatives, An American Hero: Shiro Kashino, and Fighting for America: Nisei Soldiers.
Boogie-Woogie Crisscross, an intercontinental collaboration/exchange between two poets of international stature is rowdy, rambunctious and heartfelt. With a combination of joyful shared experiences and attention to human suffering, past and present, its authors bring a thoughtful and poetic focus to bear upon global events and their own histories.
These poems developed via e-mails exchanged between Tess Gallagher and Lawrence Matsuda over a number of years. The resulting collaboration is a poetry jam session where they trade and borrow images, and run riffs on each other's poems in a responsive, competitive, and lighthearted way. Early on, Tess characterizes the style as being "kind of hip and comic book and jangly." Like any dance it's also an invitation to lose time and as Larry says—to show your "chops." A kind of dueling banjos.
It is impossible to read Tess Gallagher's poems without being drawn into their mesmerizing rhythms and convinced of the rightness of her intense yet unforced images. —Joyce Carol Oates

Remembering The Grolier Poetry Book Shop before 2006
( Left to Right: Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti with the late owner of the Grolier Gordon Carinie)
Remembering The Grolier before 2006
by Richard Dey
The sign "No Law books, No Text Books" was taped to the door, the long couch to the left of the door and beneath the big window stretched invitingly, and above the shelves of books, out of reach and not easy to see, hung the framed black-and-white photographs of poets you found in anthologies of twentieth century poetry. Proprietor Gordon Carinie, by then an old man, was in the shop, standing around. I first went up the two or three high, unlevel steps and into the shop in the fall of 1970 and continued to buy books there for some 35 years. It was the shop everyone at The Harvard Advocate went to, and I was on the Advocate board, eventually as poetry editor.
While Cairnie seemed aloof, Louisa Solano, who took over the shop in 1974, was always friendly and helpful even as she was always busy running the business. Her loyal dog lay somewhere close by, a kind of medic in case she who had epilepsy had a seizure. Louisa replaced the couch with a table for book and magazine displays. You could do nothing but stand and circle slowly the big middle table, and open and sample and close more books and chapbooks of poetry than you could imagine. There was hardly room to turn between the table and the wall shelves, and pull a book down from a shelf. The little bookshop, crammed as a mussel bed, was in its pleasant, redolent way overwhelming.
Louisa carried and sold my first chapbook, Bequia Poems, in 1979. She did the same with my first book, The Bequia Poems, in 1988. At that time, I was publishing what could be called "boat poems" in various journals and magazines including SAIL. In the April 1987 issue, as a main illustrated feature, appeared a dramatic narrative of mine, "The Loss of the Schooner Kestrel." I gave a copy to Louisa and she passed it on the Andreas Tauber, then the artistic director of The Poets' Theater. A month later, on May 8, in the Cambridge home of Molly Adams, he produced a staged reading of the poem.
Just as Louisa was more than a bookseller, the Grolier was more than a bookshop. I went to book signings there, and to readings it sponsored in the common room of nearby Adams House. In my collection of chapbooks is Nightfire by Gail Mazur who on the title page inscribed "To Richard Dey at the Grolier 9/16/87" and signed it. Louisa herself gave creditable introductions to the poets reading. The big store window in those days before the Internet was, with its posters and announcements, a main source of information for upcoming readings in the greater Cambridge area.
Richard Dey
I graduated from Harvard College in 1973 and after a year living near Porter Square moved out of Cambridge. For years I returned to go to readings and the Out of Town newsstand, and to buy supplies at Bob Slate's Stationary, and various things at The Coop. For sentimental reasons I continued to eat at the Wursthaus or get a turkey sandwich at Elsie's for as long as those places lasted. On these forays into Cambridge I parked on or near Plympton Street. While I may have stopped in at the Star Book Store in search of used treasure, it was the Grolier that I passed by first and last on my errands, and often enough went into to buy something that I really couldn't afford—but could not afford not to have. And Louisa, ready in the rear corner at the cash register, was of course glad to look up and smile and ring up the sale.
Dey graduated from Tabor Academy and, after two years at St. Lawrence University and three in the U.S. Army, from Harvard College in 1973. He has worked as a commercial fisherman in the offshore lobster and swordfish fisheries off New England. As freelance journalist, he has contributed to Yachting, Sail, Offshore, The Boston Globe, and Harvard Magazine, among other publications. Currently, he is an instructor of maritime history and literature in the SEAmester program of Southhampton College, Long Island University. The father of two boys, he lives on the south shore of Massachusetts and visits Bequia in the West Indies frequently.

The Lined Pad
Stung again,
I sit with ancient envy
and a pad,
a pad lined like a keyboard,
the cold black-and-white instrument
my always older sister, as a child,
used so brilliantly to grab love –
a pad, whose slat-like rows,
blank with potential, stretch to the far edge,
and, from last night,
a memory that evokes, instead of envy
and its darker sisters fear and greed,
light –
a memory, after we both,
in our old age, confessed to depression,
blank with possibles and stretching out far, too far, out to the edge –
of her saying that,
however dark the despair,
by sitting at the piano and playing,
improvising, toying, almost doodling, she could lift
it;
however briefly.

You are here: angel
The Emptiness of a Quiet Day by Laurel Black
He shivered at the breeze. Even so, he felt hot, anxious even. He remembered the man's touch, when he slipped his fingers underneath his clothes, and how comforting it was, for the man to warm him up despite the upcoming storm. For Luke to simply relish in someone else's touch, though the world he trapped himself in was cold to the touch. It was, at the moment, the first time he felt human. In a really, really long while.
However, just before he drifted off, he felt something envelop him in the dark. It was familiar, and though he heard a voice, Luke couldn't place where. Something light touched his forehead, but just as he was about to see who it was, he fell asleep.
The next morning, that presence was gone. Luke was left staring at the empty, a quiet heartbreak resting within his chest. A tear slip out from his eyes, but nevertheless, he stood. No matter what, he had to keep going.
And so he did.
Angelique Rising by Lorain O'Neil
[Wicked Warning: Though a love story with a positive ending, this novel does contain a bit of dark and sexual content.]
She's old. Alone. It's time to swallow the pills and be done.
And that's what she does, happily discovering there IS life after death –as a spirit! A spirit who has a pretty grand time of it traveling about until the day she comes across Angelique, a motionless eleven year old girl doctors are feverishly trying to resuscitate. Foolishly she tries to help. Whoosh! In one Great Cosmic Fluke, the child's departed and she's there instead. Back on Earth and in Angelique's body!
One rocky path later, Angelique's grown and performing uneasily at the Wyatt T. Cochran Employee Appreciation Gala trying to dodge the suspiciously intrigued Wyatt T. Cochran himself. But Wyatt isn't the only man attracted to Angelique's glittering uncanny talents, dark miscreants are too… the ones who want to feast.
And from a much loftier height something else is watching the vulnerable wayward little angel as well, something that has mighty unexpected intentions for Angelique and Wyatt T.
Because when a Great Cosmic Fluke occurs, the Cosmos can have one barmy sense of humor.
ANGELIQUE RISING is a 70,000 words humorous dark thriller standalone.

Q: Get the last index of an element in a Json array I have an array
var arr = [{name:"Steve",toppedIn:"Biology"},
           {name:"Carol",toppedIn:"Maths"},
           {name:"Steve",toppedIn:"Chemistry"}];

I want to get the last index of a name in the arr.
findIndex() give the first one, how do I use lastIndex in this case?

A: Reverse the array first, then check whether the value was found or not, then subtract the reversed index from the array's last index to get the correct answer.

var arr = [{name:"Steve",toppedIn:"Biology"},{name:"Carol",toppedIn:"Maths"},{name:"Steve",toppedIn:"Chemistry"}];

const lastIndexOfName = name => {
  let index = [...arr].reverse().findIndex(person => person.name == name);
  console.log(index);
  console.log(arr.length);
  return index >= 0 ? arr.length - 1 - index : index;
}

console.log(lastIndexOfName("Steve"));

A: In JS you must use
array[array.length - 1]
to access the last element

A: lastIndex = (arr.length-1) - arr.reverse().findIndex(x=>x.name==="Steve");
arr.reverse();

This one also works but i dont know which one is more performant.

A: I made a simplified wrapper for this question :

var arr = [ {name:"Steve",toppedIn:"Biology"  }   // 0    Steve
          , {name:"Carol",toppedIn:"Maths"    }   // 1
          , {name:"Carol",toppedIn:"Maths"    }   // 2
          , {name:"Steve",toppedIn:"Chemistry"}   // 3    Steve
          , {name:"Carol",toppedIn:"Maths"    }   // 4
          , {name:"Carol",toppedIn:"Maths"    }   // 5
          , {name:"Steve",toppedIn:"Chemistry"}   // 6  <-- last Steve
          , {name:"Carol",toppedIn:"Maths"    }   // 7
          , {name:"Carol",toppedIn:"Maths"    }   // 8
          ];

Array.prototype.FindLastIndex = function( CallFunction ) {
  var r = -1, t = Object(this);
  for (let i=t.length;i-->0;) {
    if (CallFunction(t[i])) {
      r=i;
      break
    }
  }
  return r
};

console.log ('last Steve is: index= ',  arr.FindLastIndex(a=>a.name=='Steve')  )  // 6

Cristina Ferrara and Antonio Giornelli, graduate students at Italian universities, evaluate an outdoor space at an Italian nursing home using a survey developed by Susan Rodiek at the Center for Health Systems and Design.
Graduate students in Italy, using a survey developed at Texas A&M's Center for Health Systems & Design, have found that many outdoor spaces in Milan nursing homes could benefit from improvements that help residents access and experience nature's healing properties.
Rodiek presented the survey at the June 2012 Second Global Congress for Qualitative Health Research in Milan. In attendance was Cristina Ferarra, a graduate landscape architecture student at the University of Genoa, who later joined graduate students at the University of Milan using Rodiek's survey to evaluate 94 open spaces at 67 nursing homes in Milan. The students shared their findings with Italian nursing home administrators and government regulators.
Evaluators use Rodiek's survey to rate numerous aspects of a facility's outdoor spaces, including whether the space has a diverse mix of trees, vines, flowers and shrubs, if seating has back and arm rests to help residents sit down and get up safely, if walkways are partly shaded from hot midafternoon sunlight, whether residents in walkers and wheelchairs can easily cross door thresholds to the space and more.
During the fall 2012 semester, Ferarra visited Texas A&M to help Rodiek and other Texas A&M students field test a simplified revision of the survey which she used in Italy the following spring.
While developing the survey in 2007, Rodiek learned while most facilities provide outdoor spaces for residents' use, many were lightly used for a variety of reasons including doors that were too heavy to open, doors that closed too quickly, uneven surfaces, or doorway thresholds creating barriers for wheelchairs or walkers.
The research informed the Rodeik's award winning DVD training series, "Access to Nature, Planning Outdoor Spaces for Aging," which won a 2010 American Society of Landscape Architecture Professional Award, as well as an Environment and Design Award from the Center for Excellence in Assisted Living.

Our Story - New Year 2019
Welcome to ECC's New year's Newsletter
In this edition of our newsletter, we update you with our latest news and stories along with a 2018 round-up.
We hope you find this newsletter interesting and should you have any queries relating to any of our stories featured, please contact us here.
Timeshare Mis-Selling - The Next Financial Scandal!
Our legal associates Malaga based law firm Maxima 1 Legal S.L. (M1 Legal) can now confirm they are regulated by the Claims Management Regulator in respect of regulated claims.
This means that they can now take legal action on behalf of consumers against financial institutions such as banks and credit card companies for misrepresentation and unregulated lending which can potentially win huge compensation payouts for their clients.
This will be another side to their business which will be given a strong focus over the coming months under the branding of Bank Reclaims.
M1 legal lawyer Adriana Stoyanova commented; "When the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) took over responsibility for regulating consumer credit from the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) on 1st April 2014, it promised tougher measures aiming to protect consumers and restore public confidence in the sector.
"It seems, however, that before that date and during the transition period some companies involved in the sector still did not comply with the legal requirements imposed under the applicable legislation."
"An example which recently disclosed such infringements is the case of the timeshare resort Azure Island Residence Club, located in Malta, which sold timeshare products to many British citizens, financed by Barclays Partner Finance," she added.
"It appeared that during the period 1st April 2014 – 24th April 2016 British consumers signed 1,444 loan agreements which financed their timeshare purchases through the credit intermediary Azure Services Limited, which was not authorised by the FCA to carry out a regulated activity, i.e. credit brokering."
"The FCA issued a validation order; however, we appealed the validation order, on behalf of 25 affected people, in front of the Upper Tribunal. The judge found that there was evidence of potential consumer detriment – a relevant factor to be taken into account in deciding whether it is just and equitable to make a validation order (which was a precedent).
"In this particular case, the evidence of potential detriment was considered being that the consumers were misrepresented about the duration and the loan conditions. For that reason, the Upper Tribunal decided to remit the matter back to the FCA to reconsider its decision, with a direction to take into account Consumer Detriment, without placing any further limitation on the scope of what the FCA should consider."
Here is the link to the decision of the Upper Tribunal: www.m1legal.news/tribunal
In their representations, BPF stated that the total amount payable under the relevant 1,444 loans is around £47million.
"Considering the fact that this is a small timeshare resort in Malta, we could imagine what the amount would be for some of the European timeshare resorts, which have thousands of members. This could be the next financial scandal!" said Adriana Stoyanova.
The above article has also been posted on 78 online press release publications including Agility Media & Accesswire who have distribution partners such as Nasdaq, London Stock Exchange and Yahoo Finance – you can review the article by clicking this link www.m1legal.news/accesswire
An audit was also carried out on all M1 legal files. It revealed that 52% of the files which had loan agreements were arranged by unregulated finance brokers with loan amounts totaling to just under £6 million. M1 Legal will shortly be contacting all clients that fit this criteria to advise them of potential further claims against the relevant lenders. They are also conducting a further audit on the files held by their associate UK lawyers Messrs. Pinder Reaux.
In 2018, M1 Legal secured what is believed to be the biggest timeshare victory ever recorded in the Spanish courts. Mr and Mrs Sewell-Rutter from Southampton were awarded €365,000 against La Pinta Beach Club in Tenerife. The Sewell-Rutters commented: "M1 Legal made this possible due to the continuous dedication and commitment supporting this case."
M1 Legal finished 2018 with 46 victories in the Spanish courts totaling a massive £1.1million in awards to clients.
December resulted in six more victories.
Anfi – winning three cases total awarded £55,884
Silverpoint – winning two cases total awarded £41,961
Airtours – total awarded £15,122
"These final victories for 2018 are a great way to finish the year. This, I'm sure, will continue as we strive for further successes in 2019", said spokesperson Sharon Johnson. "We would urge any time-share owners who believe they have been mis-sold to call us so we can get the ball rolling and see if they are due payouts."
New Year! New Results!
M1 Legal currently have 470 cases in the courts and 245 are being prepared for submission. In addition, cases won on appeals are now being fast-tracked through the lower courts.
Our legal associates M1 Legal start the New Year on a positive note having won four awards against Club la Costa, Anfi Resorts, Leisure Dimensions and Marriotts Vacation Club totalling £89,300. In addition, two wins against Club La Costa on jurisdiction.

One year after the events of Mosul ended in July 2017, the Iraqi Red Crescent teams continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the residents inside the city or to the displaced who face some challenges to return to their homes after their homes have been damaged.
After thousands of houses were destroyed, roads and bridges were damaged, and water station, as well as sanitation facilities, were destroyed by heavy fighting, the Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS) in cooperation with its partners in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement installs water purification stations and installs (65) water tanks with a capacity of 5000 liters distributed in the old neighborhoods of Mosul.
"The IRCS teams distribute more than (350,000) liters of water per day covering Mosul's old city and this is done by transporting water from the water station in the Ghazalani area by IRCS water truck and then all tanks which were distributed in the old city neighborhoods will be filled".
"The IRCS teams continue to provide the needs of the families in their residential areas and the displaced in the camps such as the distribution of food parcels for families in their residential areas as well as provide hot food meals for the families in the displacement camps not to mention provide some special needs of children and women.


Every 80 seconds in the United States, a home catches fire. When a home fire starts, every second counts. Fires can spread quickly and rapidly, leaving you less than six minutes to bring your family to safety. And, by the time your smoke detector sounds, your family may have as little as two minutes to escape to safety.
Bedrooms are the second most common location of home fire after the kitchen. Each year 20,800 fires are attributed to mattresses and bedding, causing 380 deaths and 2,220 injuries. Most mattress fires are started by children under five years-old playing with matches and lighters. In fact, mattress fires are the leading cause of fire death among preschoolers.
A new Federal standard effective July 1st, 2007 requires all mattress sets manufactured and imported in the U.S. to meet a strict performance standard design to reduce the severity of mattress fires. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates the new standard will save as many as 270 lives, reducing mattress-related fire deaths by 78 percent and injuries by 84 percent, or 1,330 persons per year.
For more information, read this information from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Below is a video that shows the difference between a non-compliant mattress and a new flammability standard compliant mattress.

U.S. Marine Corps Light Armored Vehicle (LAV)
U.S. Marine Corps To Keep Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) In Service Through 2030
General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada (GDLS-C) has been awarded a $37.2 million contract to upgrade the U.S. Marine Corps' fleet of Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) into the 2030s. GDLS-C will perform the work, which includes the procurement of 60 hardware kits in support of the Light Armored Vehicle Reset Program. The enhancements are designed to extend the service life of the LAV into the 2030s before it finally retires. The fleet of Light Armored Vehicles will begin receiving a number of necessary upgrades under the terms of a contract awarded Jan. 4. General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada will perform the work, which includes the procurement of 60 hardware kits in support of the Light Armored Vehicle Reset Program.
Embedded in their original design, LAVs combine speed, maneuverability and firepower to perform a variety of functions, including security, command and control, reconnaissance and assault. The LAV-25 (Light Armored Vehicle) is an eight-wheeled amphibious armored reconnaissance vehicle used by the United States Marine Corps, United States Army, and the Canadian Army. It was built by General Dynamics Land Systems Canada, developed from the Canadian built AVGP versions of the Swiss MOWAG Piranha 6×6 family of armored fighting vehicles. The first LAVs were initially fielded in 1983.
The reset effort will focus on five key areas:
• modernized powerpack to improve reliability, cooling capacity and diagnostics with the added benefit of better fuel economy
• new drive train which will improve towing capability
• steering dampener to improve road feel and usability
• digitized drivers' instrument panel
• LAV 25 slip rings—doubling power supply capability to the turret and modernized to handle additional channels for gigabit Ethernet, video and fiber optics.
"The Marine Corps is committed to ensuring this platform remains viable into the 2030s," said Steve Myers, LAV program manager. The LAV A2 variants were an improved version of the original Marine LAV. The eight-wheeled amphibious armored vehicle which offered improved suspension and enhanced armor protection — came in armored personnel, anti-tank, command and control, logistic, and mortar variants. Active light armored reconnaissance battalions will be the first units to receive the upgraded vehicles, which will become (Light Armored Vehicle) LAV A3s. The hardware kits will be installed at Marine Corps Depots, with Initial Operational Capability targeted for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The contract was awarded through the Army Contracting Command in Warren, Michigan.

If I set a break point say on the second line and go to my clusters page that is using this the breakpoint is never caught. The only thing I'm guessing that may be wrong is the documentation here http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/RUBYDEV/Debugging+CoffeeScript+Code where you have to provide a mapping to the assets directory which I did but that directory doesn't exist if you use it in a browser. Is there anything else I should try?
Interestingly it works one of my machines but not the other. Same application and same version of RubyMine. I also compared the two run configurations and they look the same as well. Anything else I should check?
I have the same problem. The Coffescript debuger just doesn't work. I set up everything as you said: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/RUBYDEV/Debugging+CoffeeScript+Code. The plugin starts up in Chrome (I can see yellow bar on the top) but the code execusion doesn't stop in the break point.
when brouser executes this code our Chrome extension hasn't got info about source maps. It starts working well after page loaded.
Olga, could you specify where do you put breakpoint (provide an example of code with breakpoint)?
This dubugger seems to have taken my system down.
- First coffee compiling stopped working (so editing any coffee file caused an error --- break point or whatever).
- Then I tried to rem out the gem 'coffee-script-redux-debugger', :git => "git://github.com/JetBrains/coffee-script-redux-debugger.git"
Now rails will not load any more pages.
Kim, could you provide you Gemfile.lock? It would help me to understand the cause of the problem.
Using RubyMine 5.4.3.2.1, coffeescript debugging just doesn't work. I believe I have everything setup properly. The coffeescript files compile properly on file save (very nice). And the debugger is configured properly --- I can even get a breakpoint to stop in the entry point file. But when I add break points in any other file, they are ignored.
Also, stepping into the files from the entry point ... does not work (just gets lost). Stepping through the same file does not work --- the pointer gets lost (the variables' contents do not match the state of the program at the pointer). I would really appreciate some symbolic, line-by-line debugging for my coffeescript, and since you are about to rev RubyMine, it would be really nice if this feature could start to work.
I love Rubymine, the great features you have added, the rapid pace of development, but please give RubyMine coffeescript some serious TLC (tender loving care) for the upcoming release. Thank you.
Joseph, are you trying to debug Rails application or Node.JS application?
Could you please attach test project? In any case this can be related http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-8174 (V8 bug http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2825).
Yes, I experience the same issue. I ran the attached print.coffee project in RubyMine, and the breakpoint on line #4 (and then I tried line #5 (console.log) too) do not hit. And that symptom looks very much the same as my issue.
Since the bug seems to be a V8 bug, does that mean that coffeescript debugging _used_to_work_ but just does not work now?
Also, once the V8 bug is fixed, am I looking for a RubyMine upgrade, or do I get "the fix" via node upgrade (i.e., fresh V8 via npm fresh node)?

Garrard Beeney and Stephen Elliott Co-Author Law360 Expert Analysis "Fed. Circ. Continues to Rein in PTAB"
On January 10, Law360 published an Expert Analysis article by Garrard Beeney and Stephen Elliott titled "Fed. Circ. Continues to Rein in PTAB." The article reviewed the Federal Circuit's decision in and the future implications of Wi-Fi One LLC v. Broadcomm Corporation, which concerns the Patent Trial and Appeals Board's decision to institute inter partes review over the patentee's objection. On January 8, the Federal Circuit held that the PTAB decision is reviewable on appeal. "While Wi-Fi One may expand the PTAB determinations subject to appeal, it also has other implications for the IPR process. Increased scrutiny by the Federal Circuit may increase the length, complexity and expense of the IPR process, making it less attractive to those seeking to invalidate patent claims… All in all, we see Wi-Fi One as a continuation of the Federal Circuit effort to restore some balance to the IPR process between patentees and challengers," Garrard and Stephen said.

BaFin is consulting on the draft regulation amending the large exposures regulation. It provides that groups of institutions with central risk management with regard to large loans should be given the same scope for risk positions against other group companies as groups with central liquidity control.
This is necessary for reasons of neutrality, because from the large exposures perspective, it makes no difference whether the risk of counterparty default arises from liquidity transfers within the group or from a counterparty default risk against group-related companies. BaFin wants to limit the reporting system for million-dollar loans to its original banking supervisory core. To this end, it waives new reporting formats with comprehensive reporting requirements, which should enter into force on January 01, 2019. Instead, the currently valid reporting formats for the data amount should remain and be supplemented. This is relevant for the Analytical Credit Dataset (AnaCredit) project, the planned credit reporting system of ECB. With the exception of the banking supervisory requirements, this will cover the data for all further user requirements—that is, for financial stability, monetary policy, and risk management.

Viewpoints March 2020
Coronavirus: Chancellor unveils self-employed support scheme
26 March 2020: The Chancellor has announced a significant support package for self-employed people affected by the coronavirus outbreak but warned the complexity of building a new system could mean the first payments could be made in June.
Speaking at the government's daily COVID-19 briefing, Rishi Sunak announced a new Self-Employed Income Support Scheme to support those who work for themselves, calling it "among the most generous and comprehensive packages to support those who are self-employed in the world".
He announced that the government will pay self-employed people adversely affected by coronavirus a taxable grant worth 80% of their average monthly trading profit over the last three years, up to £2,500 per month, for at least three months (in line with the employed scheme).
The scheme will apply to people who have filed a 2018/19 tax return and late filers will have another four weeks to file (at time of writing a deadline of 23 April 2020). It will not apply to anyone who started trading in 2019/20 ie those that have started a new business in the last 12 months. The scheme will be open to those with trading profits of £50,000 or less, who make the majority of their income from self-employment. Those who trade through a limited company and pay themselves a salary and dividends are not covered but will be covered for their salary by the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme if they are operating PAYE schemes.
HMRC will contact self-employed people eligible to receive financial support by the beginning of June. Using an online form, they can then apply directly to HMRC for the grant, and the tax authority will pay the grant straight into their bank accounts.
First payments in June
The Chancellor stated that due to the complexity of designing a completely new system at pace, the government will be looking to make the first payments "no later than the beginning of June". Grants will be paid in a single lump sum instalment covering the three months for which the scheme is applicable.
For self-employed people who the Chancellor said "may be struggling now", most will be able to access the Business Interruption Loan Scheme, and the government has also changed the welfare system so that self-employed people can now access Universal Credit in full. Unlike employed workers furloughed during the outbreak, self-employed workers can also continue working and claim the grants.
Reacting to the measures Nila Khan, Business Advice Manager at ICAEW said: "The key problem here is going to be cashflow, something on which ICAEW members advise on a daily basis. Self-employed individuals may still need to access other measures such as the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme and mortgage holidays to get them through the months of April and May".
ICAEW Chief Executive Michael Izza said: "With a number of other business leaders I had a good meeting yesterday with Alok Sharma, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). I am impressed with Government's determination to do what's necessary to protect employment and prosperity, and at the way in which different parts of Whitehall - BEIS, HM Treasury, HMRC, Department of International Trade, DWP and the regulators - are joining up to do that.
"Both the support for the self-employed announced last night and the Job Retention Scheme, the details of which came out today are huge interventions which will do much to sustain confidence in business and society. Of course, serious gaps still remain in the coverage, and some of those will be very hard to address, but ICAEW will continue to flag those up to Ministers and to work with their departments to find, develop and implement solutions."
In an aside to the measures, the Chancellor also added an observation that once "the ship had been righted" and the UK had come through the worst of the pandemic, the government would look to examine "the inconsistency in the tax treatment of those who are employed and self-employed".
Keep up to date with developments on ICAEW's coronavirus hub.


Prescriptions written in the United States cannot be filled abroad. You should request authorization from their doctor and insurance company to obtain a supply sufficient for the time they will be abroad. Prescription medications should be carried in their original, labeled bottle. In addition, you should have the written prescription on hand in case a customs officer asks to see it. Do not plan on sending prescriptions through the mail as many countries restrict, prohibit, and/or place very high customs duties on such shipments, even when obviously intended for personal use. We recommend that students who wear eyeglasses or contact lenses take an extra pair.

Donors Offer Somalia Aid for Better Security
By Antoine Remise // 24 April 2009
Democracy, Human Rights & Governance
Somalia's call for help was more than heard. International donors pledged more than $250 million at a meeting held in Brussels. European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid Louis Michel said the sum greatly exceeded United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's request of $166 million.
Somalia is a country where 43 percent of its people remain in need of emergency assistance, acute malnutrition rate is exceeding the U.N.'s 15 percent emergency threshold, and only 29 percent of residents have access to clean drinking water.
However, most of the funding pledge will be used to expand the African Union's forces from 4,300 to 8,000, and build a stronger local police force. Security matters, especially the piracy threat, were the main reasons for such a collective effort from the donors. Only this past month, pirates hijacked nine vessels and sought ransoms. Obviously, by doing so, they have deeply disturbed the use of one of the most important waterways in the world and have deprived Somalia of the full benefits offered by such a natural asset.
Such attacks also prevent aid delivery. Two weeks ago, the Sea Horse, a boat sent by the World Food Program was seized, and 7,000 tons of food was lost. It is a real problem as 90 percent of WFP's assistance going to Somalia needs to pass through the Gulf of Aden. Moreover, the country is considered as one of the most dangerous places to be for aid workers.
"The situation continues to be very difficult, but with this financial help … I sincerely hope we will be able to control the situation there," Ban said in a news conference.
"Piracy is a symptom of anarchy and insecurity on the ground," he added. "More security on the ground will make less piracy on the seas."
Indeed it is obvious for donors that a sustainable strategy at sea will only be possible through a durable solution on land. It explains the objective of expanding the security forces in Somalia and providing them with new equipment and material.
Such a focus on security forces is worrying many non-governmental organizations delivering aid on the field. They share concerns about the countereffects such a policy might have. According to Robert Maletta, policy advisor for Oxfam, donors should rather try to find solutions to the humanitarian crisis plaguing a country where basic needs are rarely met.
"The piracy issue that has grabbed international headlines is a symptom of deeper issues that have gone unaddressed ever since the collapse of the national government in 1991," Maletta said. "Without economic opportunities offering alternatives to criminality and without law and order to curb these activities, then the massive economic returns of hijacking ships will continue to drive piracy."
Georgette Gagnon, Africa director for Human Rights Watch, also raised another issue, which seemed not to have been taken in consideration by the international community.
"Since Somalia's security forces have committed so many violent abuses against civilians, efforts to strengthen them also need to make them more accountable" she said.

A great book to discuss cleverness, rudeness, sharing, and problem solving.
A simple stone is the beginning of a wonderfully, delicious soup enough to serve everyone..
A young man knocks at the door of a little old lady in search of food. She had none and he asked for a stone to make a soup. He told her to boil some water, once it was boiling he added the stone. He simply asked her for some onions, carrots, beef bones, pepper, salt, butter, and barley. She gathered all the ingredients and they prepared a lovely soup "from a stone". They set the table and ate all the soup.
I love the message here. As long as you can put in the smallest thing you can have an amazing outcome.
Students could make their own recipe for stone soup.
Have students color and cut out vegetables to add to the classroom pot.
This is a classic story. "Stone Soup" is a great sharing story and great for storytelling and being interactive.
A young man was walking.
"Soup from a stone. Fancy that."
A clever young man tricks an old woman into believing that soup can be made from a stone. As the pot of water boils with the stone in it, he urges her to add more and more ingredients until the soup is a feast "fit for a king." In print for 30 years.
When a little old lady claims she has no food to give him, a hungry young man proceeds to show her how to make soup with a stone and water. "Retold for beginning readers."

Global charity Oxfam has been threatened with criminal and civil lawsuits for funding branches of the internationally designed terror organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Shurat HaDin-Israel Law Center said in a statement on Thursday.
The move comes just weeks after actress Scarlett Johansson ended ties with the charity over a difference of opinion regarding her role as ambassador for the Israeli company SodaStream.
"The PFLP is one of the most violent and dangerous of the Palestinian terrorist organizations having carried out decades of murderous operations against civilian targets," Shurat HaDin said in a letter sent to Oxfam's U.K., Dutch, American and Australian branches.
"The PFLP is responsible for the criminal deaths of Israeli, American and European victims around the world. Several of its leaders are currently serving life sentences in Israeli prisons for their involvement in heinous terrorist attacks," Shurat HaDin added.
"This includes liability for past, present and future terrorist attacks carried out by the PFLP," the group said.
"We request that you immediately provide us written confirmation that Oxfam has discontinued the provision of aid and material support to the UHWC and the UAWC. Absent such confirmation, we will seek all available relief and remedies against Oxfam and its officers in all relevant jurisdictions," Shurat HaDin warned.
Darshan-Leitner didn't say how much Oxfam could potentially be sued for, but her center has won hundreds of millions of dollars in judgments.
The specific terror victims she represents include those "from a suicide bombing at Karnei Shomron pizza place, where two American girls got killed and many other injured. It was carried out by the PFLP," she said.
Darshan-Leitner said that she has not yet received a reply from Oxfam. Matt Grainger, head of media at Oxfam International in London, did not immediately respond to The Algemeiner's request for comment.
In an interview with The Algemeiner last month, Anne Herzberg of watchdog NGO Monitor criticized Oxfam for aligning itself with the anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. "The fact that Oxfam would align themselves with that movement is highly disturbing and shocking," she said at the time.
NGO Monitor says on its website, "Oxfam consistently paints a highly misleading picture of the Arab-Israeli conflict, departing from its humanitarian mission focused on poverty." It also accuses the charity of demonizing Israel.
In 2003, Oxfam-Belgium produced a poster of an "Israeli orange" dripping with blood to promote anti-Israel boycotts. The caption read "Israeli fruits have a bitter taste… reject the occupation of Palestine, don't buy Israeli fruits and vegetables." Following protests over what NGO Monitor called "antisemitic 'blood libel' overtones," Oxfam withdrew the campaign.


Scottsdale, AZ, USA, & Mumbai, India – September 14, 2016: Geometric Ltd. (BSE:532312, NSE:GEOMETRIC), a global leader in 3D CNC machining software, today announced a new release of their revolutionary technology that uses SOLIDWORKS® 3D DimXpert and Model Based Definition (MBD) 3D dimensions and annotations to automate the programming of CNC machined components.
CAMWorks was uniquely architected to reduce a 3D solid model into a set of discrete machining features, and apply a knowledge base that selects tools, feeds, speeds, and machining strategies to automate the creation of CNC toolpaths. Tolerance Based Machining dramatically enhances CAMWorks core architecture by adding the ability to read and react to non-geometric manufacturing information such as tolerances, surface finish, and other annotations in 3D models. This ability not only speeds up the CNC programming process, and improvements in quality, but also creates a much stronger design-to-manufacturing process for machined components.


Thanks Joy, I appreciate your feedback!! There are a lot of opportunities here in Arizona and it is such a diverse state with so many different topographies and climates! I do miss my old stomping grounds in San Diego from time to time!!
I like the color ones as well. Neat photos of the Wild, Wild West. I live in AZ and I love it too!!
The colors are taking the lead 😃 thanks for the feedback Nancy!!
Up to your usual excellent standard, Kirt.
Thank you very much John. It was a project that started I my head the day I was shooting!
Thank you very much Yoshiko! I was really pleased with the way they turned out!!
Agreed those final versions are excellent. Really give that historical feel. We have heard of Tortill Flats but never been.
Thanks Sue! Old west funky is the best way to describe it! A tradition started years ago at the restaurant where patrons pinned dollar bills to the walls …..needless to say the place is covered in dollar bills!
The light filter definitely gives the photos a more eerie appearance. I'm not much of a photographer, but to me, all of these look great! I love visiting historical places like these. It's funny though, when you live near a place like this, I think most people find that they rarely go and visit. It's only after you move away that you think about those places more often.
Thank you and it's so true about living close to something and not going to it….we lived in San Diego for 24 years….just over three miles to the ocean and did we ever go to the beach…..hardly ever!
Oh the things we miss out on! I grew up in Santa Barbara and I really miss the beach. Living in Wisconsin is quite a change!
My husband and I met each other when we were in the Army and so we had to decide to go to his state or mine. Wisconsin won the vote. Now that he is getting ready to retire, we will probably head west again.
Retirement is how we ended up in Phoenix….real estate is so pricey in so cal and we wanted a house that was paid off. My wife and I grew up in Cedar Rapids and have friends in Wisconsin…. Beautiful state!!
Wow! Small world! We are aiming for Utah, Arizona, or Nevada for retirement. This summer we are going to be traveling for three weeks and hope to find a small town that we fall in love with.
I love them, Kirt! The finished product is superb. And I love the little town 🙂 Hope you have a super weekend!!
Thanks and same to you Lorrie!!
I like the window with the blue tones best. Maybe its because that one has more depth, or interest…I dunno, really, I just like it!
Thanks Elaine….I see what you are saying…thanks for the feedback!!!
Thanks Jean….I love the tone and the "instant" age it creates!
Hi Kurt, I always go with color myself but I do like what you did with the sepia too! Nice touch to bring out the age of the place more. How hot is it now in Arizona? Here in New Hampshire we are having 70's & 80's – usually is in the 60's at this time of year. But we take it with pleasure because it will change to cooler again soon!
Hi Kirt. Thanks for recommending your sepia prints. After spotting the "keep out" print in your gallery I came here to find the post, because I knew you'd give some lovely details about the location.
I'm now looking at this post through the lens of my book-to-be and seeing more and more. My "location" had been generic desert. Since it would be a parallel world, I at first didn't think to be more specific… Now I'm wondering if a parallel version resembling the Superstition Mountains might be just the thing… This post is great inspiration. If I ever own a home again, my walls will host many of your prints. Have a thriving Thursday.
Wow….appreciate your kind words!!! Glad I could be of help…anything I can do to help, just let me know!!

5 albums from Uruguay you MUST listen to
The Uruguay music scene has a mixture of rock, pop, tango, folklore, candombe, carnival sounds. Prepare to be surprised by the creativity and quality.
Art, Music & Film | Candombe | Tango
The Uruguay music scene has a mixture of rock, pop, tango, folklore, candombe, milonga, carnival sounds. Prepare to be surprised by the creativity and quality of the music emanating from this nation of just three million souls.
Jaime Roos – Contraseña (Password)
Jaime is a Uruguayan institution. In a small country like Uruguay, few musicians are able to make a good living from music. Jaime is one of a handful. Forgive him his moustache. He is hugely popular in Uruguay and neighbouring Argentina. This is my favourite album of his, made entirely of versions of songs by other Uruguayan artists. "Amor profundo" (Deep Love) by Mandrake Wolf became a huge hit. What's particularly Uruguayan is the use of carnival harmonies (known as murga). The video was shot in Montevideo's Old City (Ciudad Vieja). On the album, personally I adore Ney Peraza's guitar on "Tablas". A few years ago Roos branched into cinema, producing a much-loved documentary of a trip his photographer son and he made to South Africa to support Uruguay in the 2010 World Cup.
Eduardo Mateo – Mateo Solo Bien Se Lame (Mateo does it best alone)
Mateo was a hugely influential songwriter, singer and guitarrist emerging in the 1960s. A master of rhythm he insisted that the nascent rock scene in Uruguay include local candombe-rhythms that were looked down on at the time, leading to the creation of a new rhythm known as candombe-beat. A wildly unpredictable, addictive character who had periods of homelessness, he died penniless before reaching his 50th birthday.
A short but reasonably faithful biography on the Murky Recess Blog
British writer discovers Mateo – entertaining and incisive from Sounds and Colours
David Fricke, Rolling Stone (2007) on Mateo (his Nick Drake comparison is not great. Mateo was a far more revolutionary musician)
Unfortunately this album has been taken down from YouTube, so I've included a different video clip above. But you can buy Mateo solo bien se lame online.
Ana Prada – Soy Pecadora (I'm a Sinner)
I've already written about Ana Prada and have to include her here. Ana is the modern face of Uruguayan folk music. Her second album is more urban, acoustic with electronic bases, though she continued using folklore rhythms –milonga, valsecito, chamame– as well as reggae. If you are lucky you might get to see Ana play when you are in Montevideo.
El Club de Tobi – Tobismo (Tobism)
A classical string quartet, El Club de Tobi started out in 1996 playing on Sarandi, the pedestrian street running through Montevideo's Old City, and underground venues. They play their own arrangements of pop and rock from the River Plate area (Montevideo and Buenos Aires) as well as classics by Hendrix, The Beatles and Bob Marley. Tobismo won the 2011 Graffiti Prize, the equivalent of the Uruguayan Grammys in the Instrumental category.
El Principe – El Recital (The Show)
Gustavo Pena, known as El Principe (The Prince), also struggled to make a living from music and died in his late 40s just as he was starting to gain popularity and audiences to grow. El Recital was recorded live in 2002 with the Club de Tobi. His daughter Eli-U Pena keeps his memory and music alive today interpreting his songs in her uniquely charismatic style. His poetic lyrics are notable for their positive messages. Like Mateo, El Principe has become a cult musician for musicians in this part of the world.

I know this is an old blog post, but Mateo is on Spotify. I'm listening right now.
The Guru of GuruGuay says:
Fabulous news! Thanks for letting us know, Susan!
Hansi Lebrecht says:
gerat website, thanks! 🙂
I think the band Trio Ibarburu should be on this list as well 🙂
for me they are (besides the legendary band "Opa") one of the best exemples of uruguayan music. or at least Nico Ibarburu the guitar-player, sideman to so many good uruguayan musicians …
see them here: https://youtu.be/5-RPtVnHFyU
or here: https://youtu.be/dX2v29gXMVo
Welshwitch in Uruguay says:
Thanks for adding your suggestion, Hansi! Yes, Nico Ibarburu pops up everywhere!
Lynn Welburn says:
Mateo was a real phenomenon. A sad, short life but with an amazing gift and vision. My husband knew him back in the day and has shared many stories that just make me admire Mateo more.

ufn says:
Mateo solo bien se lame…I'll try to help with the translation. There's a saying : "El buey solo bien se lame" this literally means "the ox licks himself alone" and the sense is, there are many things you can do without needing the help of others; sometime is best to do something all by yourself instead of all the troubles that bring working in team. So Mateo recorded all the tracks of this record, alone. Voices, guitars, drums. But one day, he left the recording studio in Buenos Aires and never came back. The sound engineer kept the tapes, and a year or two after published this record, and named it "Mateo solo bien se lame"
Sorry for the bad english, hope this help
Unfrionegro – what can i say? Other than thank you. Brilliant explanation.
What! No Jorge Drexler? 🙂
Ha! Ha! Veronica, nice try! As Jorge is an Oscar-winning musician, it seems to me that he would have chances of being known outside of Uruguay much more than most. 🙂

'I feel very lucky': Tennis star Chris Evert opens up about ovarian cancer diagnosis | World News
By BNH INSIDER Last updated Jan 14, 2022
Former world number one Chris Evert has opened up about her diagnosis of stage 1 ovarian cancer.
The American champion, 67, revealed she is currently undergoing six weeks of chemotherapy, adding: "I feel very lucky that they caught it early and expect positive results from my chemo plan."
In an article on ESPN, Evert said a malignant tumour was found during a preventative hysterectomy last month.

It comes after her younger sister, former pro tennis player Jeanne Evert Dubin, died from ovarian cancer in 2020 at the age of 62. Her sister's cancer had spread before it was detected, as she had no noticeable symptoms.
Likewise, Evert said: "I just couldn't believe it. I had been working out, doing CrossFit, playing tennis. I didn't feel anything different."
Evert said watching her sister go through treatment was "devastating and traumatising".
She added: "When I go into chemo, she is my inspiration.
"I'll be thinking of her. And she'll get me through it."
In the years since Jeanne's diagnosis, genetic testing has evolved, so when Evert sent her blood for testing it revealed she had a pathogenic variant of the BRCA1 gene.
Following discussions with her doctor, she had a hysterectomy in early December – at which point the cancer was discovered.

"70-80% of ovarian cancer is diagnosed at Stage 3 or 4," said her surgeon, Dr Joel Cardenas.
"Three months or so from now, she'd be Stage 3 or 4. If nothing is done, it reaches the abdomen."
In the article, co-written by her friend Chris McKendry, Evert said she had chosen to share her diagnosis to try to help others.
"Ovarian cancer is a very deadly disease. Any information is power," she said.
Dr Cardenas said the key to an early diagnosis – and in turn, a better prognosis – is keeping up to date with exams, and knowing your family history.
Follow the Daily podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Spreaker
"Ovarian cancer is rare," he said. "However, if a patient has a family history, we encourage genetic testing and counselling."
Evert won 18 Grand Slam singles titles during her career and is now a broadcaster covering the sport for ESPN. She will appear from home at times during the network's coverage of the Australian Open.
