Soul Eater Not confuses me from a marketing perspective, but it is a pretty good anime for for the slice of life yuri lovers. I think that because they pinned on the Soul Eater name, people rightfully come in expecting an action/drama series with dynamic and cool characters. Instead, what you get is a super cutesy, light-hearted, yuri slice of life series that just happens to take place in the world of Soul Eater.
I definitely think this story probably would have sold better if they made an original setting, but I think I personally like it better this way. You can see the creator's love of Soul Eater, and the girls provide a good vantage point for how the typical person experiences the Soul Eater universe. I think it is cool how we got to see a different side of the world and characters depicted in Soul Eater placed in a more docile, less high-stakes setting, all while watching cute girls do cute things. While Soul Eater Not doesn't share a lot of the themes and mood of Soul Eater, and certainly isn't of the same quality, Soul Eater Not helped me picture myself in the Soul Eater Universe, and I hope it can do the same for you.
I watched this show in spite of my best friend's warning not to bother. I loved the original Soul Eater, I liked how smart it was, how it didn't really underestimate the audience, I liked the darkness it had... I liked it all. I knew this show, on the other hand, was set in the same universe, but the genre was more moe than anything. I can roll with moe if I'm in the mood... But this show is awkward. It has occasional very interesting and dark moments, but those were soon overrun with dumb humor. Ok, I guess its switching to moe, but its not good moe. Its poorly animated, awkward angles, unrealistic based on what just happened on the previous episode... and in the end it just ended up being unrelatable. This show is mediocre at best, and a far cry from the original Soul Eater. Over all, meh. Powered through it in 2 days because I'm a completionist, and it was just meh with occasional entertaining moments.
if you like you girls doing silly cute girl things you'll love this but if your like me and was looking for a little more insight on the soul eater world, well, this aint for you.this is all i really have to say but crunchy rolls review system is making me type more but honestly i think i've summarized this show pretty well. but regardless of my review or anyone's i encourage you to at least watch 3 episodes and decide for yourself.
Relatively decent.. Barely call it a Soul Eater Spin off.
As someone who has watched the original Soul Eater many many times (in my top ten favorites), I was expecting a lot but not at the same time. Soul Eater NOT's name is incredibly appropriate as it is definitely not like the original. There are a lot of inconsistencies with the original and even if their was to be placed a year before the original the inconsistencies still add up... The plot was decent though but the way they went about the plot is what killed it. The reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 2 was because the bit of background of some of the original characters. I do think that if someone had not seen the original Soul Eater at all I think they might have enjoyed it more. Looking at SEN based on it just as it is, not as a spin off, I still have issues with it. Especially with how it ends... SPOILER ALERT. Witches are supposed to be difficult enemies.. yet one hit? really? And it goes back to the power of friendship with two meisters..... I dont think it would be very functional to have one weapon to share.. Obviously they aren't fighting major enemies yet as they are in NOT but still... It seems as though the last five episodes were just thrown together and rushed. Honestly I don't recommend.
Good Addition to the Franchise.
This wasn't meant to be another series like the first Soul Eater it has events before that series like how Sid died and that death city is in America (death valley cal?) and answers a few other questions. This is mostly about the 3 girls seen in the picture getting used to life at the school and with each other most of the characters from the original show up some more than others their is some action mostly in the last few episodes and it was done really well I thoroughly enjoyed this anime and like my headline says is a pretty good addition to the series just don't expect it to be like the first series I didn't and I think it stands up really well on its own. Their is a little bit of teaser fan service and I give a 5 on here and a 8.5 on a 1 to 10 scale. I definitely recommend it. Really liked the English dub also.
Unlike some reviewers who can't be bothered to read the title, don't get into this thinking its some soul eater spiritual successor, because its not, you'll just be disappointed, its a more of a slice of life spin-off.
If you're familiar with the genre, and enjoy it then you're in for a good time as this is just your average light-hearted story, with good visuals and decent music. If you miss the aesthetic of the original then watch this for a new story, in nostalgic environment.

NEWSLETTER 20 (26 October 2015)
Hiya XXXX -- how are you doing?
As winter chills begin to sting, how about hot jazz with a gypsy zing? This cure for all woes will warm you to your toes... and whether you are north, south, west or east, for you we have a FiddleBop feast! (For the ears, that is...)
OK, first we go east (south-east, to be precise). This Sunday, 1 November, is the day after Halloween. And what better way is there to blow away spooky cobwebby glooms, to get yourself de-ghosted and un-bewitched, than to come along to London's Le QuecumBar for some joyous and happy hot FiddleBop? We are playing at "The World's Premier Django Reinhardt Gypsy Swing Venue" from 8 pm. The address is 42-44 Battersea High Street, London SW11 3HX, and tickets are £8 in advance or £10 on the door. Treat yourself! How about some great food and drink and even greater music in this unique 1930's Parisien style live music brasserie, this cross between a Montmarte drinking den straight out of Moulin Rouge and a New Orleans jazz club, where Marlene Dietrich meets the Palm Court hotel, where live music, great food and hospitality meld in a setting as alluring as a coquette's boudoir...? (OK... It's a fair cop. I nicked all that from Le Que's website. I confess that I know nothing of coquettes' boudoirs. And not much more re. Montmartre drinking dens. But hifalutin praise aside: Le Que is a really amazing and unique venue...) We've Mike Bennett on bass for this gig. And we've a Special Guest!!! So see you there on Sunday? Hope so!
Then the next weekend FiddleBop go north (well, kind of) to Ardley, near Bicester. Why? For some Manor Farm Music Frivolities, that's why! From 7.30 pm on Saturday 7 November 2015, it's your chance to get up close with FiddleBop at our first-ever Ardley Parlour Concert! It's at Manor Farm, Somerton Road, Ardley, Bicester OX27 7NS, and you can request an invitation here. This is a great place to play! Acoustically excellent, the Parlour Music Room was once the milking parlour of a working farm: it is now the setting for Ardley Parlour Concerts. These are 'house concerts' which "offer an exceptional opportunity to see talented musicians perform in a small and intimate venue". We have Roger Davis on bass for this one. So if you like your hot jazz swing so close that you can toast your bread on it, then how about Ardley on 7 November?
South next! To Oxford, on Saturday 14 November. This is a fundraising gig for Net vir Pret, a township children's project in South Africa, on behalf of Education for Democracy in South Africa (EDSA). The venue is West Oxford Community Association (WOCA), Botley Road, Oxford OX2 0BT and tickets re available, for a suggested donation of £12, from jude.lockbrown@gmail.com, or else for £15 on the door. And this one will be different! Martin-lightning-fingers-Crowder is, sadly, unable to do this gig with FiddleBop. But we have the masterful Jez Cook joining us on guitar. Cor! And with our 'emeritus bassist' Roger Davis playing too, this'll be a night to remember! And all for a good cause. Dare you miss it?
And west it is, for FiddleBop's final gig in November! And what better way to round off our November quartet of gigs than to return to the wonderfully-named Greedy Goose (Salford Hill, Chastleton, Moreton-in-Marsh, Glos GL56 0SP)? We are there from 8.30 pm on Saturday 21 November at this "perfect retreat for anyone wanting to enjoy good quality food and drink". We can vouch for the restaurant! So how about coming along for some fine food, some great beer or wine, and lashings of superb hot jazz swing from FiddleBop?
That's all for now! We've plenty more FiddleBop gigs lined up for 2016, including several new (for us) venues. See our gig list for the latest news. But now it's time to go... I'm running out of steam. To bed, perchance to dream.
All the best, and hopefully see you soon!
Future FiddleBop gigs!
So when's the gig? What's the venue, occasion or whatever..? Where is it, exactly?

Jesse White Announces Employees Show Vaccination Status Or Submit to COVID-19 Testing
August 5 2021 1:21 PM
SPRINGFIELD - Jesse White Announces Employees Show Vaccination Status or Submit to COVID-19 Testing
Due to a recent increase in COVID-19 cases, Secretary of State Jesse White announced that beginning Sept. 1, Secretary of State employees who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 will be required to submit to repeated COVID-19 testing.
"As the pandemic continues to surge nationally, we must do all we can to maintain the safety of our customers and employees and this is an important step in doing that," said Secretary White. "I am proud of our staff for their hard work as we continue to provide essential services during this challenging time."
Top Story: Calhoun Sheriff's Office Issues Info About Guilty Pleas In Relation To Auto-Theft Ring Out Of St. Louis
Employees will be required to show proof of their vaccination status. Employees who are not vaccinated will be required to submit the results of COVID-19 tests every two weeks.
This announcement follows the implementation of White's policy requiring all employees and customers at Driver Services facilities, Secretary of State Offices and the Illinois State Capitol Complex to wear masks while inside those locations.
White stressed that it is imperative for his facilities to remain open to serve the public to reduce the heavy customer volume caused by the COVID-19 pandemic over the last year. White said reinstating the mask policy for employees and customers, as well as this new initiative will help achieve this goal.
White is reminding customers that his office extended expiration dates for driver's licenses and ID cards until Jan. 1, 2022. As a result, expired documents will remain valid until Jan. 1, 2022, so customers do not need to rush into a facility. This extension does not apply to commercial driver's licenses (CDL) and CDL learner's permits.

Q: Matlab: Arrayfun with Matrices I am trying to rewrite the following code using arrayfun
A = ones(3,3,3)
for i = 1:3
    B(i) = trace(A(:,:,i));
end

I hopefully tried
f = @(x) trace(x)
B = arrayfun(f, A);

But this just (as you would expect) traces over each individual A(i,j,k) not the A(:,:,i) as I would like. I then tried declaring A{i}=ones(3,3) as a cell and passing to arrayfun but this didn't work either.
How can I vectorise functions on matrices in Matlab?

A: If you really want to use arrayfun you could try a trick like this:
arrayfun(@(i)trace(A(:,:,i)), 1:size(A,3))

but note that arrayfun is NOT VECTORIZATION!!, it's just a wrapper for a loop and often is slower than a loop due to added overhead.
While equally not vectorization, to do it your second way you should have just changed to cellfun. i.e. if A{i} = ones(3,3) then
cellfun(@(x)trace(x), A)

A: bsxfun based vectorized solution that ab(uses) how trace is defined - sum of diagonal elements -
%// Get size of A
[m,n,r] = size(A)

%// Get indices of the diagonal elements for each 3D "slice" as columns of idx
idx = bsxfun(@plus,[1:m+1:m*n]',[0:r-1]*m*n) %//'

%// Thus, for your 3 x 3 x 3 case, idx would be -
%//idx =
%//      1    10    19
%//      5    14    23
%//      9    18    27
%// and these are the linear indices to the diagonal elements to each `3D` slide.

%//Index into A with idx and sum along columns to get each element of desired output
B = sum(A(idx),1)

If you would like to save on workspace cluttering with not-so-necessary extra variables, avoid idx with -
B = sum(A(bsxfun(@plus,[1:m+1:m*n]',[0:r-1]*m*n)),1)

For working with GPUs
If you have to work with GPUs, you can declare them as gpuArrays with gpuArray(A), then subsequent work involving A would be done on GPU and you would get the output as a gpuArray, which you can get back as a CPU variable with gather(..).
Thus, a complete code would look like this -
[m,n,r] = size(A); %// Get size
gpu_A = gpuArray(A); %// copy data from CPU to GPU

%// Perform calculations on GPU
gpu_B = sum(gpu_A(bsxfun(@plus,[1:m+1:m*n]',[0:r-1]*m*n)),1); %//'

B = gather(gpu_B); %// get back output onto CPU

Quick tests: With GTX 750 Ti (that I have access to), this appears to give me a 3x speedup over your loopy code.

La Mujer Shirley Bassey canta en Español (The Woman - Shirley Bassey sings in Spanish), is a Shirley Bassey studio album recorded in Spanish. The first recording sessions were held in Spain, and the album was completed in California, at the Hitsville West studio in December 1988. The 1980s saw a period of very few album releases from Shirley Bassey: All by Myself (1982); the acclaimed album I Am What I Am (1984); her recording of James Bond themes from 1987, The Bond Collection, (which had met with problems and remained unreleased until 1992); and La Mujer. In 1987 the Swiss electronica band Yello approached Shirley Bassey about recording a song with them. The track "The Rhythm Divine" was a minor hit in the UK, charting at number 54 in the UK singles chart but achieving more success on mainland Europe. The success of the single released by Mercury Records, led to an album deal on the label.

This is the second album of non-English recordings made by Shirley Bassey, the late 1960s and early 1970s had seen her record several tracks in Italian. As preparation for the recording Shirley had twenty hours of Spanish lessons.  The album brings together new Spanish material and new versions in Spanish of such Shirley Bassey classics as "Without You" ("Sin Ti") and "I (Who Have Nothing)" ("Hoy No Tengo Nada"). Spanish lyrics were provided by Leonardo Schultz, who also wrote the new material appearing on the album. The album's debut was a performance by Bassey at the "Viña Del Mar Song Festival" in Chile in February, 1989, and further appearances in South America followed. The performance in Chile was filmed and an edited version featured on a CD/DVD release in 2004, the set called Super Estellas del Amor features five tracks on CD from the album and seven live performances on DVD. This release also includes performances from Matt Monro and Demis Roussos that were also recorded in Spanish and produced by Leonardo Schultz.

The album was mainly marketed for the Spanish speaking countries in South America, the US and mainland Europe, very little promotion was undertaken in the UK for this release.
The original releases for La Mujer in Germany and the US (on LP, cassette and CD) featured the same artwork as its South American counterpart, but differing layouts.

Best Shows to Watch in 2021
By Sabrina Boan on December 24, 2022
During pandemic and lockdown, we all need something interesting to do while staying at home safely. There are several ways to kill boredom but, watching a good show might be the best of all. A good show can help you relax and entertain yourself at the same time. We have come up with a list of some must-watch shows that you need to watch in 2021. Let's get started!
Pretend It's a City
Starring Hailee Steinfeld as Emily Dickinson, the first season of Dickinson aired in 2019. If you are not someone who likes YA fantasies or period comedies, then sadly the show is not for you. Although, this kinda corny show might blow your mind if you love such comedies. The series will make the poets of the 19th century speak the slang of the 21st century. The show revolves around Emily Dickinson who explores her identity throughout the show and also hangs out with "death" (Wiz Khalifa). The second season of Dickinson is also available now. You can watch the show on Apple TV.
New Yorkers will keep complaining about New York until someone who is not a New Yorker says something bad about the city. And the fact that this love-hate relationship is only be made clear by Fran Lebowitz. You will see the New York duo of Martin Scorsese and Fran Lebowitz reuniting in this Netflix series. You will get to wander in the city of New York with Fran Lebowitz and Martin Scorsese throughout the show.
A teen drama series that revolves around a group of high school students and their life experiences. Zendaya as Rue Bennett plays the lead role in the show. You will get to discover a painful and haunting personal story and acting from all the stars on the show, especially Zendaya. You will experience heartbreaks, friendships, identities, and many more things along with the characters. Rue will make you feel for her, and it's not easy to avoid this feeling while watching Euphoria.
The first-ever series that Marvel Studios has produced for Disney+. You can watch Temuera Morrison in Wanda Vision playing the role of the titular bounty hunter, along with Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand. Although, Baby Yoda and Mando will return to the screens in 2022.
Guess who is getting a show of his own? Our one and only Tom Hiddleston aka Loki the god of mischief. This guy showed up in some Marvel movies but low key we all wanted him to stay in the movies a little longer, well our wish is coming true and our boy is coming with a whole series for us. The show will come to the screens in May 2021, till then hold tight ladies and gentlemen.
This is an English reboot of a hit Swedish TV show that was directed by Ingmar Bergman and was aired in 1973. The themes will be the same in the reboot – hatred, monogamy, desire, love, divorce, and marriage – and the show will discover all these themes in the lives of an American couple. When the original Swedish series was aired in 1973, the divorce rate spiked as a result of that show. And now we have to see what this English reboot has to offer.
There are always new shows and movies coming out, and there is always something to watch for everyone. No matter what genre you like the most, the field of entertainment has so widened that you can find anything related to any genre you want. Must give a watch to these shows because they will not disappoint you. Stay home, stay safe, and enjoy!

Affordable Housing in Via 57
When you drive east 57th Street from the West Side Highway, you can see it. A futuristic, triangular, metallic low-rise building encircling a courtyard, that spans the entire block, and looks as if it came from a utopian drawing of a German Expressionist visionary in the 20s, a high-tech pyramid. Via 57 West is a residential complex, designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and his firm BIG, changing the skyline of the West Side of Manhattan, with an unusual forms that allows as many units to have a direct view to the Hudson River. What is spectacular about this new building beside the architecture, is that it comes to supply affordable homes. The deadline for applicants through NY Housing Connect is set for October 11th. Photography is by Iwan Baan and Danica O. Kus.

The lower end of the middle range of Hz is wonderfully effective at increasing flexibility.
At 12 Hz, the mechano-stimulation provides enough involuntary muscle contraction to drive circulation to the tissues, without contracting so frequently that the muscles become tense over the period of Galileo training.
Because many inflexibility issues come from instability ( i.e. a misaligned region of the body will often display as "inflexible" as a result of the body protecting itself from further instability), Galileo Training is invaluable, firing 100% of the muscle spindle where the human brain only fires 40-60%. By driving contraction/circulation wholistically, entire muscle groups are brought online, correcting alignment and often reducing the causes of inflexibility at the source.

Міща́нство (від  — «містяни») — суспільний стан в країнах східної та почасти центральної Європи за доби Середньовіччя та Нового часу, до якого належало населення міст і містечок. Такий самий суспільний стан, як буржуазія у франкомовних країнах або бюргерство в німецькомовних країнах центральної та західної Європи.

Історія
Починаючи з Середньовіччя, міщанство мало права самоврядування — згідно з нормами Магдебурзького права, Бранденбургського права, Любецького права, Кульмського права та інших правових систем. За ними громадяни міст — міщани — звільнялись від залежності, суду феодалів (шляхти), підлягаючи лише магістрату міста і суду війта. Це робило міщан вільними людьми, які самі обирали своє місце проживання, зайняття.

На теренах України міщани з'явились з середини 14 ст. з наданням галицько-волинськими князями, польськими королями містам магдебургії. Стан спадкувався за народженням. Для повноцінного користування правами міщанина необхідно було набути громадянство міста, для чого необхідно було володіти у даному поселенні визначеним нерухомим майном. Історично та соціально — це той самий суспільний прошарок, що у французькому суспільстві та мові позначається словом буржуазія, а в німецькому — бюргерство; часто з уто́чненням — «дрібна́ буржуазія», «дрібне́ бюргерство».

Основними сферами занять міщан були ремесла, промисли, торгівля.

Міщанство визначалося суспільно-політичною активністю, внесло помітний вклад у національну українську культуру. З міщанства походить такий соціальний прошарок як інтелігенція.

У європейських країнах міщанство зазвичай походило з селянства і з часу своєї появи по-різному протистояло або знаходилось під тиском таких феодальних класів як дворянство та аристократія, лицарство та клір. У Росії, як в часи імперії, де панівним класом та головним культуртрегером було дворянство, так і пізніше — в радянську добу, за часу панування диктатури пролетаріату та ідеології безкласового суспільства — міщанство як клас або прошарок в процесі своєї соціальної генези так і не набув правового суверенітету та економічної незалежності та сили, а саме поняття «міщанство» у літературі вживалося і досі часто вживається з негативною конотацією.

Nobody decides to get pregnant and have a child with an intellectual disability, but life is complex, and we don't always know how things are going to work out.
For parents whose child is given a diagnosis of intellectual disability, it can be devastating. They are likely to experience grief for the loss of the child they imagined having, along with fear for the future, and feelings of guilt for not always being as accepting of the situation as they think they should be. All of these feelings are perfectly normal and, rather than trying to suppress them, it is healthier to accept them, and work with them towards a resolution. It may be useful to spend time with a therapist and/or to engage with a support group or with group therapy so as to work through difficult or unwelcome emotions associated with the new situation. It's OK not to be happy with it, or to have feelings of anger. With support and a safe space in which to talk, you will be able to move forward in a positive manner.
One of the most important things to remember when raising a child with an intellectual disability is that they are usually more similar to other children than they are different. Research shows that one of the most important inputs to a child's life, and their future success, is the sort of relationship they build with their primary caregivers in the very early years of their life. Put simply, this means that the most important thing you can do as a parent is to show your child that you love them. Physical caresses, loving attention, and support as they reach whatever milestones they are able to achieve will all help them to learn and grow.
Parents of children with intellectual disabilities are often surprised by how much they can actually achieve. For example, in the case of Down Syndrome, education of children with this particular challenge has come on in leaps and bounds. With the right support, many children with Down Syndrome can learn how to live quite autonomous lives, to read and write, and even to hold down a job. Increasingly, children with Down Syndrome are attending mainstream school—this is important, as they will learn how to live in a society in which not everyone is like them.
Parents with more than one child may worry that their disabled child will take all their attention, and that the rest of the family will suffer. While this is certainly a risk, understanding this fact makes it easier to mitigate against it.
In raising a child with an intellectual disability, it is important to be aware of the supports that are available. As well as state supports (such as special needs education), there are parents' groups that can give advice and provide help.

Call for closure of porn cinema
Site of the 24-seat sex cinema located behind the Jade Winters sex shop on the outskirts of Galway city, and according to one local councillor patrons pay €12 admission and are offered the choice of straight or gay movies
Demands have been made for the immediate closure of a "lurid" sex cinema in Galway.
https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/call-for-closure-of-porn-cinema-26447927.html
https://www.independent.ie/migration_catalog/article25048645.ece/a2b1b/AUTOCROP/h342/jadewinters
Fine Gael Councillor Padraig Conneely said he was shocked to discover that such a cinema -- apparently the first of its kind in the country -- was operating in the city.
The 24-seater cinema is located behind a sex shop called Jade Winters at the Liosban Industrial Estate, on the Tuam Road on the outskirts of the city.
"There are 24 seats and patrons pay €12 admission. It is staffed by two men from eastern Europe and all efforts to contact the owners or manager have been unsuccessful," Mr Conneely said.
"Patrons are asked whether they wish to watch gay or straight porn films and there are a number of small cubicles in the cinema where customers can watch specific films. It all sounds quite lurid and it is not what we want for the image of Galway. We are a city of culture, not of sleaze."
He said that the premises was open from 2pm to 2am and he wanted Galway City Council to immediately investigate it and have the cinema closed down.
"We can have a liberal agenda but there are limits. There are adult shops in a lot of towns and cities but this is unacceptable and I want this cinema closed," he insisted.
A garda spokesman said he was not aware of any complaints to date about the Galway cinema.
If a complaint was received, all of the circumstances surrounding the operation of the cinema would have to be looked at and it could be a matter that might need to be referred to the film censor.

The 2012 NHL Winter Classic (known via corporate sponsorship as the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic)  was an outdoor ice hockey game played in the National Hockey League (NHL) on January 2, 2012, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The fifth edition of the Winter Classic, it matched the New York Rangers against the Philadelphia Flyers, two Atlantic Division rivals; the Rangers won by a score of 3–2. The original plan was to have the contest at the Philadelphia Eagles' home, Lincoln Financial Field; however, the Eagles played there the day before, and the NHL needed at least a week of preparation time to build the ice rink onto the field. The game was broadcast by NBC in the United States and by CBC and RDS in Canada. NBC's announcers were Mike Emrick and Eddie Olczyk, with Pierre McGuire handling sideline duties and Bob Costas as the studio host.

The game returned to its original daytime time slot, with the Rangers-Flyers game beginning at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (two hours behind its originally scheduled start time of 1:00 p.m.). This marked the first time the Winter Classic was not played on New Year's Day; to follow the precedent of bowl games—which do not play on January 1 if it falls on a Sunday out of respect for the National Football League, and the observed New Year's Day holiday being legally floated to Monday in these scenarios, the game was instead played on January 2.

Game summary

The game was delayed two hours from its originally scheduled start time due to the expectations of warm temperatures and sun glare. The 3:20 p.m. puck drop provided more ideal conditions, with a temperature around 45 °F and overcast skies. Rain fell for a short time during the second period. Ice conditions were mostly excellent with few delays to repair the playing surface, and they compared favorably to last year's game according to Michael Rupp, who played for the Penguins in the 2011 NHL Winter Classic. The Rangers entered the game on top of the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference with 50 points, with the Flyers trailing the Rangers by two points and having the chance to tie for first place with a win.

The first period was scoreless, with neither team sustaining much offensive pressure. The Flyers had the edge in play, and it was reflected on the scoreboard with their 12–9 lead in shots on goal. Each team was assessed a penalty late in period, resulting in short power plays for both. In the second, shadows were becoming prevalent on the rink as the sun set behind the stadium and the lights took full effect. Despite the ice conditions getting slightly worse, as well, the game became more fast-paced, and the Flyers scored two goals in less than two minutes in the second half of the period. Brayden Schenn's first career goal was scored following an offensive-zone face-off and Claude Giroux scored on an odd-man rush. On the Rangers' first shift following Giroux's goal, Rupp scored his second of the season on a wrist shot. The Flyers again outplayed the Rangers in this period and had a 14 to 8 edge in shots on goal.

The Rangers came out with more energy to start the third, and Rupp tied the game on his first shift of the period, beating Sergei Bobrovsky from a bad angle. Less than three minutes later, Brad Richards gave the Rangers a 3–2 lead when he hit an open side of the net following a rebound. The final period had the most end-to-end action of the game and sustained pressure, and it was played evenly by both teams. The Flyers had the only power play of the period, recording one shot. With Bobrovsky pulled from the net for an extra attacker, the Flyers and Rangers were assessed matching minors, so the Flyers had more room to skate with a five to four skater advantage rather than six to five. As they sustained more pressure and the puck was sliding through the crease, Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh slid in an attempt to block the net but was called for covering the puck in the crease. Daniel Briere was chosen to take the ensuing penalty shot, which was stopped by Henrik Lundqvist with 19.6 seconds remaining, sealing the win for the Rangers. With the loss the Flyers became the first team to lose in two Winter Classics. Prior to this game, the Flyers had a record of 18–0–1 when leading after two periods. The win moved the Rangers into first overall in the league standings.

Scratches
New York Rangers: Jeff Woywitka, Erik Christensen

Officials
 Referees — Ian Walsh, Dennis LaRue

Broadcasting
The game was telecasted on NBC in the United States, CBC (English) and RDS (Français) in Canada. Local radio broadcasts were provided by WIP/WIP-FM in Philadelphia and WEPN in New York City, while Sirius XM Radio carried the game on satellite radio.

Documentary
HBO aired a four-part documentary chronicling the preparation of the two teams for the game as part of its award-winning sports series 24/7. The first episode aired on Wednesday, December 14, 2011, at 10 p.m. ET, with three additional episodes following each subsequent Wednesday. The series chronicled each team's seasons leading up to the Winter Classic, and emphasized the physical nature and intensity of the Rangers–Flyers rivalry. The episodes focused notably on the fiery coaching approaches of John Tortorella and Peter Laviolette, the odd and comical personality of Ilya Bryzgalov, and the ups and downs that each team underwent before the Winter Classic.

Ratings
The 2012 Winter Classic had relatively low ratings compared to the previous four events. The game earned a 2.4 rating and 3.74 million viewers; it is the first Winter Classic to fall short of the benchmark set by Wayne Gretzky's final game in 1999 (2.5 rating/6 share) that had stood as the most-watched post-1975 NHL regular season game prior to the Winter Classic. In Philadelphia, the game had a rating of 11.9. The other highest rated markets were Buffalo (7.8), Boston (5.1), and Pittsburgh (4.4). New York's home market finished with a 4.3 rating, the first time that the host markets did not finish both first and second in the individual market ratings. Some critics' reasons as to why the ratings were low were due to the fact that the game was moved back two hours from 1pm EST to 3pm EST; the game was played a day later than normally (January 2 opposed to January 1) because of the NFL last regular season games; it was played during the daytime on a day not universally recognized as a holiday (thus more people would have been at work and missed the game); the fact it had to compete with two college bowl games (Outback Bowl and Rose Bowl, although previous Winter Classics also had to compete with bowl games); and overexposure of the New York-Philly matchup.

Alumni game
An alumni game between former Flyers and Rangers players was played on December 31. The game was broadcast live by Versus, CBC Television, and Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, with a tape-delay broadcast on MSG Network. The start time was rescheduled to 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time from the original start time of 1:00 PM, due to weather concerns, but garnered a near sellout crowd nonetheless.

Two storylines built headlines in anticipation of alumni game. One was Bernie Parent participating in the game at the age of 66. Parent decided to participate despite his age due to requests by fans. The return of Eric Lindros also grabbed headlines. Lindros was a very popular and successful player for the Flyers, but left the franchise amidst controversy and bad blood. The Flyers players all wore a small number "10" on top of their shoulders in memory of former Flyers defenseman Brad McCrimmon, who died in the 2011 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash earlier in the year.

The game began with a ceremonial faceoff between Flyer captain Bob Clarke and Ranger captain Mark Messier, dropped by Flyers chairman Ed Snider, member of the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder, and a recent inductee in the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. The game started with a total of seven members of the Hockey Hall of Fame on the ice: Clarke, Parent, Messier, Bill Barber, Mark Howe, Mike Gartner and Brian Leetch. Glenn Anderson, another Hall of Fame Member, also participated in the game. Parent started the game and earned ovations by several saves, most notably one on a breakaway by Ron Duguay, but was replaced with Mark LaForest by his request five minutes into the game. Early in the game, Jeremy Roenick committed a rare alumni game hit on Darren Turcotte.

The first goal of the game was scored by John LeClair on a pass by Eric Lindros, showing shades of the Legion of Doom. Mikael Renberg, the third member of the Legion, was invited to the game but was unable to participate due to prior commitments. Instead, Lindros and LeClair were joined by Mark Recchi, who retired less than 6 months earlier after winning the Stanley Cup with the Boston Bruins at the age of 43. Recchi played with Lindros early in Lindros' career, forming the Crazy 8s line with Brent Fedyk before being traded for LeClair and Eric Desjardins, who also participated in the game. Shortly after Lindros scored, Shjon Podein cleaned up a rebound to put the Flyers up 2–0. The first penalty was committed by Eric Lindros, resulting in a penalty shot (as did all penalties in the game) for Nick Kypreos. Kypreos' attempt was however stopped by LaForest.

Rangers goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck was replaced by Dan Blackburn to start the second period. Blackburn would keep the net clean for the entire period, also stopping a penalty shot by Podein after Podein was slashed by Nick Fotiu.  Flyers goalie LaForest was replaced by Neil Little halfway through the game without surrendering a goal. Little gave up a goal to a deflection by Glenn Anderson late in the 2nd period, cutting the Flyers lead to 2–1. The goal was originally credited to Brian Leetch before being changed. After the first five minutes in the third period, recent Hall of Fame inductee Mark Howe extended the lead to 3-1 by converting a penalty shot against Blackburn. Neil Little stopped another penalty shot by Glenn Anderson after Anderson was slashed by Bob Clarke. With both goaltenders shutting the door for the rest of the game, the game ended in a 3–1 Flyers win. Following the game, the two teams took part in a traditional handshake line. Afterwards, team photographs were taken, one of each team individually, and one with both teams together.

The game was officiated by retired NHL referee Kerry Fraser and his son, current AHL referee Ryan Fraser. Former NHL referee Harry Dumas, who is also Kerry Fraser's son-in-law, with retired NHL linesmen Kevin Collins, who is currently and NHL Supervisor of Officials, served as linesmen for the game. Bernie Parent had a special mask painted for the occasion to be auctioned off for charity, but in the game wore the familiar plain white shell mask with two Flyer logos that was his trademark during most of his playing career. The alumni teams were coached by Pat Quinn (Flyers) and Mike Keenan (Rangers) who had also faced each other in the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals won by Keenan's Rangers over Quinn's Vancouver Canucks in seven games (Collins was one of the linesmen in the game the Rangers clinched the Stanley Cup title). Both had also previously coached the Flyers to three appearances in Stanley Cup finals in  (Quinn), , and  (both Keenan).

The game, which drew an all time AHL record crowd of 45,653, was won by the Phantoms, 4–3, in overtime.

On December 30, 2011, the Philadelphia Police Department Ice Hockey Club hosted the Boston Police Emerald Society in a rematch from their January 6, 2010, game at Fenway Park.

Collegiate Games
On January 4, 2012, Neumann University Knights (Division III) and Penn State met during the Icers' final year as an ACHA D1 program, prior to moving to the NCAA. Neumann won 6–3 in front of a crowd of 6,800. A second game was held on Thursday, January 5 between ACHA Division I rivals, Drexel University and Villanova University. Drexel won the game 7–3.

Anthems/Entertainment
The anthems were performed by Melanie Fiona (O Canada) and Philadelphia native Patti LaBelle (The Star-Spangled Banner)

During the first intermission the Flyers' anthem singer Lauren Hart performed God Bless America (and also at the Alumni Game)

During intermission, Philadelphia-based hip-hop band The Roots performed "The Fire", but replaced the word "Flyers" instead of "Fire" just for the occasion of supporting the team during the game.

Pope Francis has stressed the "social dimension of evangelization" with a renewed emphasis on the missionary witness of families in the home and in their own communities. Indeed, we know that Christian witness begins in the home-in the domestic Church-with the promises parents make at the Baptism of their child. It continues in the witness of the faith community, in the Mass, and in the instruction of the child. Everything a parent does and says is witnessed to his or her children. It is the parent who first "Open(s) wide the door of faith" (Porta Fidei, Vatican) to his or her son or daughter. It is this door that welcomes a child to a faithful life, a way of being that shows the love and forgiveness that is the earmark of a follower of Christ.
Recognizing the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation, St. Joseph Catholic Church endeavors to provide a rich program that encourages family participation.
Our sacramental year catechists have received materials and attended workshops meant to help them recognize and develop the learning strengths of their class. Our Coordinator of Catechists and Resources and our Coordinator of Religious Education pay special attention to the preparation received by both catechists and children.
Attend Mass regularly with their children. Children who know the Mass will come to a better understanding of the sacrament(s).
Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation - offered every Saturday, 11am-12pm at St. Joseph. Take the children along. Children will be more invested in something if their parents are first.
Attend parent meetings and parent/child retreats. These offer ideas and opportunities to share faith between parent and child.
Remember that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a sacrament of love and healing. When we come humbly to Christ we receive his grace, which gives us strength and courage in our daily lives.
Practice prayers with their children. The Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be, along with the Act of Contrition (below) should be memorized by the end of second grade.
¬ an examination of conscience. We prepare for the Sacrament by praying and thinking about our words and actions.
¬ confession. We tell about the words & actions for which we are sorry. We talk to the priest as in a normal conversation and listen to any advice he may give.
¬ penance. The priest tells us something good we can do or prayers we can say to show we are sorry and to make up for our wrong choices.
¬ an act of contrition. We ask forgiveness for our sins in a special prayer of sorrow to God. A prayer of contrition must include: telling God you are sorry, promising to try not to sin again and to make up for your sins, asking God to forgive you in Jesus' name.
¬ absolution. God's forgiveness (taking away) of our sins. The priest makes the Sign of the Cross as he says, "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." These words assure us of God's forgiveness. We are reconciled with God and one another.
¬ prayer of thanksgiving. We give praise and thanks to God for His love and forgiveness. We bring Jesus' love to others.
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In His name, my God, have mercy.

Blackheads are one of the most frustrating skincare concerns in the known universe. But what are they exactly? Technically known as comedones, true blackheads are plugs of keratin taking up unwelcome residence in our follicles. "They poke out into the air so that their exposed parts become oxidized and darkened," explains dermatologist Kenneth Howe, MD, of Wexler Dermatology. "Hence, blackheads." Sometimes the clogged pores on our noses and cheeks that look like blackheads aren't actually blackheads at all, though.
"A lot of times the people who complain about blackheads don't really have them," Howe says. "They have sebaceous filaments—retained oil and debris in the follicles that make their pores more prominent—but not keratin plugs."
For real-deal blackheads, dermatologists usually recommend products like glycolic acid peels and benzoyl peroxide washes (Howe likes PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash, $12), which work to chemically break down those pesky keratin plugs. But over the years of talking to skincare experts and Byrdie readers like you, as well as doing some slightly obsessive internet research, we've discovered that there are other, weirder ingredients that work too. If you're dealing with blackheads, you know full well that you'll try anything short of homicide to get rid of them.
Keep scrolling for seven unexpected ways to do that.
A potent but all-natural blackhead buster can be created with nothing but a spoonful of raw honey and lemon. This tip comes from board-certified plastic surgeon David L. Cangello, MD, who swears that raw, unpurified honey contains enzymes, antioxidants, and is antibacterial, while lemon works as an exfoliant. Simply mix a pinch of juice from a fresh lemon with raw honey and apply it to your blackhead area, let it sit for 15 minutes, and rinse with warm water. "Over time, this combination can reduce the amount of oil and debris that clogs pores, decrease bacterial load, and, thus, decrease blackheads," Cangello says.
If you have sensitive skin that doesn't jive with the facial acids normally used to treat blackheads, Howe recommends these quirky little scrubber tools from CosRx. "After soaking in water, these silk balls fit over your fingertips to provide an ultra-gentle exfoliation, coaxing material out of congested pores without irritating the surrounding skin," he says.
This home remedy comes from a member of Byrdie's secret Facebook group, The Beauty Line (are you familiar?). Mixing a tablespoon of unflavored gelatin powder with a tablespoon and a half of milk and heating it in the microwave for 10 seconds will create a sticky solution capable of unclogging your pores. Just apply the mix to the affected area, leave it on until it dries (which should take 30 minutes or so), then peel it off. The gunk from your pores should come along with it.
If you're looking to violently rip the blackheads from the depths of your face, look no further than this intense three-step Japanese mask set. Start by washing your face with warm water and the included deep sebum softener. Then, while your face is still wet, apply a thick coat of the jet-black activated carbon mask to your skin. After it dries (which can take up to an hour), peel it off and expect to see a ton of schmutz come out. Last, apply the toner to close up your pores.
Here's another tip from a Beauty Line member, who combines the skin-purifying powers of Biologique Recherche's mask with a bit of baking soda for extra blackhead-fighting action. The baking soda's gentle antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties give the mask that extra kick to help unclog and constrict pores.
Multiple Byrdie readers who deal with blackheads swear by this seldom-discussed powder, which makes use of three natural minerals—kaolin, calcium carbonate, and zinc oxide—to draw out blackheads. The product works by mixing with water to create a paste, which you then apply to your blackheads, wait 10 minutes, and then rinse.
Out of all the skincare brands on the market, Boscia is perhaps best-known for its blackhead treatments. But one of its lesser-known pore products that the brand's co-creator and general manager, Lan Belinky, regards as a secret weapon is the pore brush. "I love to use the Boscia pore brush to remove clay masks for extra-deep-down debris removal!" she says.

The trail up beautiful Culvert canyon leads to a photogenic, jeep-shaped arch situated in a large sandstone cul-de-sac. The trail is not always easy to follow and in some spots seems more like a route. Hikers should be comfortable following a cairned trail and need to pay close attention to their surroundings to stay on track.
The reward for the diligence required in following the trail is a hike, with a high degree of solitude, up a scenic canyon to a uniquely shaped arch. The trail, which initially wanders along the canyon bottom, soon climbs to and traverses benches high above the west side of the wash. Wonderful views from the benches encompass the impressive, multihued sandstone walls that line both sides of the canyon and the sinuous routes of the canyon's many branches cutting through a sea of sandstone terraces, cascading from the Gold Bar Rim, the high ridge to the west of Moab.
The start of the trail is quite unusual, requiring hikers to travels through a huge culvert under railroad tracks. Hikers emerge from the culvert onto a broad, sandy wash. The culvert and the sandy wash are a favorite play spot for local children.
Plan on devoting more time then indicated by the mileage to do this hike. The fine scenery and route finding along a few sections of the trail will slow you down. Outdoor enthusiasts looking for a full day of hiking should have no problem walking the Culvert Canyon trail and the nearby Corona Arch trail in the same day.
This trail is best enjoyed during the spring and fall when temperatures are mild. Hiking is not recommended in the summer when temperatures often exceed 100 degrees F. There is little or no shade along most of the route. Take plenty of water. Do not depend upon finding any water along the route.

The UNT Dallas Learning Commons does not currently have a reading specialist on staff, so we recommend students use Smarthinking's reading tutors to improvie their reading skills.
Smarthinking's tutors do not solve problems for students. Instead, tutors use a problem-solving based teaching style to address students' immediate concerns and provide guidance on how to improve their word-level skills, fluency, and overall reading. This way, students become more confident, independent, effective, and efficient readers. Smarthinking reports that student satisfaction scores—as well as consistent faculty praise and feedback—show that this approach works. Over 91% of students were pleased with the assistance they received.
"Smarthinking's expansion of its repertoire to include reading comprehension and analysis as well as vocabulary and pronunciation will greatly assist our developmental and second language students and faculty. The writing, math, and software tutors at Smarthinking are utilized by our students on a regular basis; easily accessible, quality online support in reading completes the solution for college readiness skills, and we are anxious to make use of Smarthinking's newest resource."

Q: iOS firebase: FIRAuthUIDelegate.authUI not being called I am trying to launch google login from AppDelegate.swift and then launch my app's main screen upon login success.

I am able to

*

*show the google login button as shown above

*the user is sent to google to sign in

*the user is sent back to original (step 1)
After step 3. I'd like to send the user to my app's main page.
My code is below. The problem I'm having is that authUI is not being called.
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, FIRAuthUIDelegate {
    var window: UIWindow?
    var authUI: FIRAuthUI?

    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        FIRApp.configure()

        authUI = FIRAuthUI.defaultAuthUI()
        authUI?.delegate = self
        let providers: [FIRAuthProviderUI] = [FIRGoogleAuthUI()]
        authUI?.providers = providers

       // show google login button
       let authViewController = authUI?.authViewController()
       self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
       self.window?.rootViewController = authViewController
       self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
       return true
    }

    func application(application: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, options: [String: AnyObject]) -> Bool {
       return GIDSignIn.sharedInstance().handleURL(url, sourceApplication: options[UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsSourceApplicationKey] as? String, annotation: options[UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsAnnotationKey])
    }

    func authUI(authUI: FIRAuthUI, didSignInWithUser user: FIRUser?, error: NSError?) {
        // launch main view controller
    }
}

EDIT: This appears to be a duplicate of another question. The other question's title is quite general and only gets to the details a few lines deep. In any case, I believe Chris's answer is more thorough than the one there. I think both the question and answers here are clearer, more pointed and more thorough so it would be a mistake to just direct people here to go there as would happen if this was marked as a duplicate.

A: I think your problem lies here, in the - (void)signInWithProviderUI:(id<FIRAuthProviderUI>)providerUI method.
The delegate method is called in the dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion: completion block.
[self.navigationController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
        [self.authUI invokeResultCallbackWithUser:user error:error];
      }];

As you can see from the Apple docs, this method is expected to be called on a modally presented viewController. You are displaying it as a root view controller. Try displaying it with a modal from a UIViewController, and things should work out. To debug this try and set a breakpoint at line 193 to see that it won't get hit. I would be very surprised if this doesn't work when you display the authController modally.
To come up with a possible solution to your problem (I am assuming you want to ensure a user is signed in before using your app). The below is a simplification of what I am using in an app currently.
EDIT: Updated for the new 1.0.0 FirebaseUI syntax.
class MainTabController: UITabBarController, FIRAuthUIDelegate {

    let authUI: FUIAuth? = FUIAuth.defaultAuthUI()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        var authProviders =  [FUIFacebookAuth(), FUIGoogleAuth()]
        authUI.delegate = self
        authUI.providers = authProviders

        //I use this method for signing out when I'm developing
        //try! FIRAuth.auth()?.signOut()

    }

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)

        if !isUserSignedIn() {
            showLoginView()
        }
    }

    private func isUserSignedIn() -> Bool {
      guard FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser != nil else { return false }
      return true
    }

    private func showLoginView() {
      if let authVC = FUIAuth.defaultAuthUI()?.authViewController() {
        present(authVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
      }
   }
    func authUI(_ authUI: FUIAuth, didSignInWith user: FIRUser?, error: Error?) {
        guard let user = user else {
            print(error)
            return
        }

        ...
    }

A: It must be a problem of reference.
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, FIRAuthUIDelegate {
    var window: UIWindow?
    let authUI = FIRAuthUI.defaultAuthUI()

    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        FIRApp.configure()

        authUI.delegate = self
        let providers: [FIRAuthProviderUI] = [FIRGoogleAuthUI()]
        authUI.providers = providers

       // show google login button
       let authViewController = authUI.authViewController()
       self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
       self.window?.rootViewController = authViewController
       self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
       return true
    }
}

Try this. AppDelegate will hold the reference of authUI and its delegate.

Bob Aronson (Contact): What I've learned about raising money from Jews
By Jacob Berkman June 15, 2010 10:02 pm
The spring issue of Contact: The Journal of the Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life enlists a dozen of the foremost thinkers on Jewish philanthropy to talk about the state of fund raising. With the Steinhardt Foundation's permission, The Fundermentalist will republish over the next two weeks pieces from the likes of the foundation's president, Bob Aronson, the president of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, Jeffrey Solomon, philanthropy guru Phyllis Cook and academic Amy Sales.
The first piece comes from Aronson, who talks about what he has learned in 35 years of fundraising in the Jewish world, both as the head of a major Jewish federation in Detroit, the president of the Birthright Israel Foundation and as an advisor to some of the country's most influential private Jewish philanthropists such as Michael Steinhardt and the late Bill Davidson. He gives four tips on how to raise money effectively. Check back tomorrow when we bring you the next piece.
WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT RAISING MONEY FROM JEWS
by ROBERT P. ARONSON
In 1975, a failed art student, I began working at the Milwaukee Jewish Federation as a clerk typist. One day my boss, Mel Zaret, asked me to attend a fundraising meeting. There were about twenty men in the room listening to an Israeli army officer wearing sunglasses. He spoke about the battle for the Suez Canal.
After that, to my astonishment, the men went around the room and announced pledges to the 1975 Federation Campaign: "I give 50!" (He meant thousand) "I give 100!" "I'm taking out a second mortgage on my home so I can give 25!"
I remember thinking that this must be the greatest job in the world, because these men come here and literally throw money at you!
That was the way it was. Israel was the trigger to fundraising. Giving was collective and emotional. There was no talk about supporting Jewish education and identity; that was for the nerds and the Orthodox. At that time, giving money to the Federation was a religion unto itself, and God forbid someone should try to designate their gift or ask where the money was going. They would have been banished from the community. Those were the days of the UJA!
Let's fast forward 35 years. Our world is different, but the bottom line is this: Jewish fundraisers are still operating in the world of 1975, but our donors, both real and potential, have moved on.
First of all, a definition of terms:
A Jewish fundraiser is a Jew who works for a Jewish organization and is expected to raise money for that organization from Jewish donors. A potential donor, real or imagined, is the ultimate target of the Jewish fundraiser. And this is where the disconnect begins.
Most Jewish fundraisers earnestly believe that the organizations they work for are so important that they are automatically entitled to the donor's money.
Even when a gift is made, the fundraiser and his/her bosses consider it inadequate to the donor's means. This causes great angst to the fundraiser and leads to Lesson Number One in the "2010 Jewish Giving Handbook":
"Just because they have money doesn't mean you're going to get it."
Giving relies upon two elements: capacity and willingness. Having one without the other is meaningless.
Lesson Number Two has to do with the Jew in the Modern World. There are many opportunities to give, and non-Jewish organizations solicit funds better than we do. Jewish fundraisers are too bus focusing on themselves and what they want as opposed to what the donors want. Non-Jewish organizations don't make this mistake.
Most Jewish fundraisers cringe when we read about a new $100 million gift made by a prominent Jew (whom we have pursued for years) to a university, hospital or cultural institution. We say: "Crap! How did that happen?" (Although we don't say it out loud.)
The answer is the rule of the "two affinities" which we fundraisers miss because we still inherently believe that we are entitled to the donor's money.
Here's an example of two strong affinities in one donor family:
Three generations of a family attended a certain University. The father made his fortune in engineering, which he learned at the University. That is two affinities right there. Why are we surprised the University receives a $30 million gift to the School of Engineering?
And, by the way, the glossy University publication features the donor wearing a graduation cowl. How do we compete with that?
The fact is that we don't know how to; we don't even understand it.
The problem here is that today's potential donor has the unmitigated gall to want to determine for him/herself where they want their charitable dollars to go. The donor wants to make a difference, demands accountability and measurable results for his/her gift (which is really a charitable investment) and oftentimes wants to leverage the commitment with giving from others. This is, of course, a disaster for those of us focused solely on what it is we are trying to sell. Our heads are full of it.
I refer to this as the "orchestra playing in your head" phenomenon.
This brings us to lesson Number Three:
You cannot hear what the donor is saying if you have an orchestra playing in your head. In other words, listen. You might actually find out what the donor wants. Listening depends on face-to-face appointments and the development of long-term relationships of trust and mutual respect.
This, more than anything, is problematic for Jewish fundraisers, who have monthly quotas to meet, gifts to close and annual campaigns to complete. They simply do not have the time, or often the skill, to develop relationships with donors, especially new ones.
The time-honored Jewish answer to this problem is "Let's have a big event and honor somebody important. The people will come."
This leads us to Lesson Number Four:
Traditional Jewish honoree events don't work anymore. The fact is that most people, especially today's new donors, simply don't like them. Events are costly, dreary, in poor taste considering today's pinched economy and excruciatingly long. They also take huge amounts of staff time.
Here we can take a page from the University Playbook. Yes, universities run annual campaigns, but they are relatively minor in comparison to capital campaigns and long term designated giving. University fundraising officers are no longer called "development" professionals but "advancement" professionals, which certainly sounds better.
This raises a troubling possibility.
Perhaps Jewish fundraising organizations will have to consider a radically different approach: to reduce expectations for annual campaigns and focus on long-term, targeted and personalized giving. Interestingly, the Federation system, which stresses annual giving, has seen a steady decline in annual campaigns and a dramatic increase in endowed giving, often to organizations outside the Federation umbrella.
From my early days at the UJA until today, I've referred to myself as a "deli schlepper." I would do anything for the donors: carry their bags, make them drinks, anything.
I have learned in my 35 years in the fundraising business that passion for the cause is still important, but the ability to understand what people want and turn it into real action is more so.
I earned my first job in 1975 when I told my prospective boss, "I want to work with the Jews."
I knew nothing more than that.
As Jewish fundraisers, we must continue to follow our hearts. But to be successful, this is simply no longer good enough. It's one reason why there are so few successful Jewish fundraisers and every organization is scrambling to find one.
The rules have changed, but we're still living in the 1970s. It is imperative that we adapt, change our organizational goals and train our professionals differently, or we'll face a future of increasing anachronism and irrelevance.

Maggi Hambling
Father, Late December 1997

Hambling is best known for her intimate portraits of friends and family. One of her first exhibitions, held at the Morley Gallery, London SE1 in 1973, was of portraits drawn from memory and from observation. Her subject matter subsequently extended to allegorical paintings and sculpture and a number of near-abstract watercolours and drawings. Father, Late December 1997 is one from a series depicting the artist's father, Henry Hambling (1902-98), recorded by his daughter during the last five years of his life. It was shown in an exhibition devoted to him, entitled Father, at Morley Gallery in 2001. The painting was initially titled Father, Christmas, but Hambling changed the title as she felt that it could easily be misinterpreted as portraying Santa Claus. A number of the works in the exhibition at the Morley Gallery marked a technical departure for Hambling in that she began to paint on board, although this particular work is on canvas. They are distinguished by a sketchy style of painting, closer to the characteristics of drawing than those usually associated with the application of paint. Hambling had recently begun to make sculptures by pouring strands of molten wax into sand and then casting the wax in bronze, creating a kind of three-dimensional drawing. Father 1994 (private collection) is a bronze sculpture depicting Henry Hambling's head made in this manner. Hambling believes that this method of sculpting strongly influenced the style of painting she used for the portraits of her father.
Hambling's first painting of her father dates from the early 1970s. Although she sketched him frequently over the following years, she didn't paint him again until 1993. Henry Hambling took up painting at the age of sixty-five, painting the Suffolk countryside from observation until his death. Hambling drew him painting many times. She has commented:
Father didn't ever set out to pose for me, for up to the end he was active and wanted to do things. So my sketchbook drawings tended to be of him watching television or of him at work when he started to paint. He had been very much in the background throughout my childhood. It was when he started to paint that we really became friends and began to move closer to each other ... Drawing my father was a way of beginning to know him, and I put my feelings about him into the drawings. When he began to paint I began to know him for the first time and recognized finally my love for him.
(Quoted in Father, p.9.)
The paintings and drawings of Henry Hambling show the passage of time, reflected in his gradually ageing image, his head sinking further and further into his chest until finally, in January 1998, he is depicted lying close to death. Father, Late December 1997 was painted from memory in Hambling's studio. It portrays Henry Hambling sitting on a red patterned sofa, a favourite piece of furniture where, the artist has recounted, on returning to the house after being taken out on an expedition, 'he ... just moved into that sofa, and established it as his territory and refuge. He would fall asleep with his head on his arm on the arm of the sofa, or talk sometimes to himself, or just sit there looking out at you.' (Quoted in Father, p.12.) In his triple portrait, Henry Hambling's upper body does all these things, supported and contained on either side of the canvas by the patterned arms of the sofa. He is depicted graphically in energetic black lines on the white canvas which convey a sense of trembling animation even where the subject is asleep. A large area of white above the three heads, roughly half the canvas, emphasises the febrile movement below. The painting was made quickly and conveys Henry Hambling's vulnerability and fragility, as well as his continuing energy, in its urgent lines.
Hambling has referred to this painting as having a different sense of pictorial space from her other works, as if air flowed through and around the portrait, bringing it close to her sculptures. Following her father's death, Hambling went on to make a number of works from memory over a period of weeks. These paintings are a record of a relationship, the artist's process of coming to terms with death and loss and also, more generally, of the human spirit or human consciousness in the face of physical degeneration.
