Newspapers in a Time of Need
Boston's papers shined after Monday's bombing. Then again, so did social media.

Immediately after a pair of explosions wracked the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, those who turned to the city's two major newsrooms for facts would have found that both the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald's websites were down. Cell phones, which are supposed to provide calm and contact in exactly such an emergency, were failing bystanders, too, with overloaded towers making calls and text nearly impossible to transmit.
But my Facebook news feed, and probably yours as well, was quickly overcome with status updates from Boston friends telling their friends that they were unharmed. Perhaps even more took to Twitter to do the same. A moment had transpired—one of terrifying, if fugitive importance—where seemingly every American wondered if they knew someone who happened to be standing on that horrific stretch of Boylston Street. Because of social media's ubiquity, many Americans quickly found out that they, mercifully, did not.
We've seen social media at work, for good and ill, in other, recent disasters, but not quite like this. After the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, we watched the heart-rending details trickle out on Twitter, but few of us had reason to fear we had a personal connection to the massacre (confined, as it was, to Sandy Hook Elementary). Some New Yorkers, as the tide surged and then receded during Hurricane Sandy, did use social media to confirm their safety—even if being "safe" usually meant, "I have enough beer for tonight." But Twitter and Facebook, largely thanks to Instagram, were predominantly the domain of amateur photographers producing ruin porn.
Monday's bombing in Boston was very different. The fear, needling and disorienting, that someone we know may have been harmed in a terrorist attack—as it appears to be, domestic or otherwise—hasn't visited most of us for more than a decade. And under the burden of that fear, Facebook and Twitter became less facilitators of news than the tools themselves for producing a certain kind of news: "I'm OK." It is the kind of personal news that social media has always prioritized, but that only takes on monumental importance when a daughter or father or former classmate lives in Boston, the extent of the disaster is unknown, and the websites of the town's two major newspapers are down.
So social media is being held up as the insentient hero of the day, and not without cause. In addition to Twitter and Facebook, frantic loved ones could visit the Google Person Finder page, which offered help with an almost poetically simple interface: two buttons that read "I'm looking for someone" and "I have information about someone." The crumbs of fact we learned from social sharing sites as the afternoon wore on will undoubtedly shape the way each of us recalls this tragedy. Quartz's Christopher Mims argues that this Vine clip of a local TV news broadcast, apparently uploaded by a user with just 355 Twitter followers, may become "the image by which we will all remember."
We glimpsed Monday why the old-guard news organizations have ceded so much ground to new media. The speed with which news tidbits appear on social media mirrors, even encourages, the frantic pace of newsgathering in the hours after a disaster—when false leads and bad "facts" abound. Twitter may be a "truth machine" of sorts, with its crowd-sourced fact-checking, but any medium that place a premium on single, context-free morsels of news, like those eerie six seconds of video that Mims highlights, is of finite value.
The news outlets that yesterday failed our appetites for instant news offered something today that social media never can—not with consistent quality, anyway. The Boston Globe, its website resurrected, has already produced some of the most comprehensive accounts of what is known, and not known, about Monday's events. Layoffs and buyouts have gutted the newsroom in recent years, and still reporters and editors there offered: an interactive map of the explosions, annotated with the day's most striking photos; a doctor-correspondent's first-person account of the makeshift trauma unit for blast victims; a portrait of the 8-year-old boy killed in the blast; stories about affected businesses and schools, transportation safety, the fire at the JFK library that prompted fears of coordinated attacks; and finally, the one-stop-shop story. If that last one sounds easy—or perhaps, to some new-media prophets, a redundant relic—note that 14 reporters contributed to the report.
The Boston Herald, no stranger to layoffs itself, has done similar work, such as probing how easily one person may have caused such destruction and tracking down the roommate of the Saudi student whose apartment was searched by police. And surely the Boston Phoenix would have produced its own compelling coverage, injecting necessary skepticism and irreverence into the conversation—but the alt-weekly printed its final issue last month. S.I. Rosenbaum, a former Phoenix editor, instead captured scenes from the marathon for The New Republic, while her former colleague Chris Faraone tweeted updates about evacuations and road closures near the explosion sites. (TNR reached out to him, too.)
The upshot of all this is that while social media was producing necessary ephemera, reporters were hustling to produce articles with insight and hard-won answers, and working out of short-staffed newsrooms—or, in the case of former Phoenix staffers, no newsroom at all—in no small part because instant news has depressed the value of thoughtful, carefully vetted news. This is not to cast doubt on all news circulated on Twitter. Writing for io9, Annalee Newitz said, "Our social media networks may be maturing into trusted sources," and I think that's right (note the cautious "may be"). But accuracy is not the endgame of crisis reporting—the goal is to give a tragedy like this deeper explanation and examination. A good vantage point from which to admire the value of deeply reported and edited stories is the sprawling photo gallery posted by BuzzFeed, whose content is designed explicitly for social sharing (and whose content is often aggregated from social media). With its 56 photos, the increasingly graphic gallery, by a BuzzFeed staffer whose handle is "ryanhatesthis," prioritizes quantity over quality: Add pictures with abandon—even fairly useless ones—and watch the clicks roll in.
This is not an either-or situation. Monday showed that social news and sharing excels at one thing, traditional reporting at another, and that the line separating them can blur. Yesterday's most unforgettable video footage was filmed not by a random bystander but Globe reporter David Abel, whose news instinct propelled him toward the blast; then, old and new alike spread the footage around the world. But there's the rub. If Monday had been an ordinary Patriot's Day in Boston, and Abel's video merely showed runners finishing the Marathon, you would not have been able to view it without paying. Yesterday, though, the Globe suspended its paywall, making its product free at the instant it became most valuable. Certainly its coverage today is a strong advertisement for its product. But it may not be enough to inspire casual readers to subscribe. These readers may just assume that the next time a crisis strikes Boston, the Globe will let them through the door again.
No doubt the paper's executives are asking those questions today. The irony, of course, is that the Globe felt compelled to erect a paywall to make its brand of traditional, regional journalism profitable in our "free-sharing culture"—and yet, the expectations of that very culture likely pressured the paper to suspend its paywall. Today, the paper's articles are part of the social media stream, being shared widely on Facebook and Twitter and aggregated by new-media outlets, and its reporters, no doubt bleary-eyed, are getting the appreciation they deserve. One would be forgiven for thinking, at this moment, that everything is right in the media world—that legacy newspapers and social outlets have a perfectly complementary relationship. But tomorrow, it's back to one starving the other.

A fair account of PTSD
I suppose its a good movie depicting the effects of PTSD, however, the cinematography, acting, music and depth of plot lets this movie down. Having watched this, I'm now inclined to watch The Deer Hunter (1978) again for the 100th time,it is with out a doubt the best film of its kind.

Director Philip Falcone hits a Home Run with this look at PTSD and how it effects our Veterans.
I usually watch horror but sometimes I come across movies that feature real horrors. Philip Falcone movie Joe's War does that. It shows you the true horror of war and how it does not end when you go home. Michael Markiewicz portrayal of the titles charector Joe is award winning. He is supported by a very good cast but he outshined the bigger actors Ed Asner, Tom Sizemore, and Armand Assante. They have outstanding performances But Michael really shines. Joe recently returned home and has problems dealing with civilian life. What he sees and done while deployed is a living hell. It slowly takes its toll and destroys everything and everyone he loves. Most noteworthy his girlfriend and Uncle. PTSD is a problem for these young soldiers and this movie needs to be seen so everyone could understand and bring awareness to this mental disease. Philip Falcone is a movie maker to look for and hope this movie gets the recognition it deserves. It is available on Amazon.
I see dead people
Joe (Michael Markiewicz) a home town hockey star comes home from the war and has trouble adjusting. He can't open up and drinks his life away. Eventually he sees a doctor.
PTSD is a sad thing. What is even sadder is when Hollywood can't respect those who serve with a decent film about it. Where did Joe serve? In the first half of the film it was Iraq, the second half Afghanistan. I guess it was all the same to Phil Falcone. The flashback scenes were not coherent. One time his buddies are being killed in a home to home search, in another scene they are killed by some Iraqistanis in blue jeans and sneakers. Armand Assante was a joke as a doctor, with his Mohawk comb over. In order to make the film seem like it had worth they kept playing the same sad piano riff over and over again. Couldn't afford a decent sound track after the Edward Asner/Tom Sizemore cameos.
This is part of a genre I call "PTSD exploitation films." You take a hot and sensitive topic and you make a quick and dirty film about it, hoping to cash in. The acting wasn't good. The flash backs lacked a coherent story. Joe hears and sees a helicopter at the airport and has a flashback...to what a helicopter? Nope. Playing poker. In fact you never see a helicopter in any flashback. So why did a helicopter trigger a poker game? Almost Ed Wood bad.
The film has some PTSD stats at the end to make you think you watched something meaningful.

Each conic section has its own standard form of an equation with x- and y-variables that you can graph on the coordinate plane. You can write the equation of a conic section if you are given key points on the graph. You can alter the shape of each of these graphs in various ways, but the general graph shapes still remain true to the type of curve that they are.
Cutting the right cone with a plane to get conic sections.
This figure illustrates how a plane intersects the cone (the top and bottom half are considered two halves of one cone) to create the conic sections, and the following list explains the figure.
Circle: A circle is the set of all points that are a given distance (the radius, r) from a given point (the center). To get a circle from the right cone, the plane slices occurs horizontally through either the top or bottom half of the cone.
Parabola: A parabola is a curve in which every point is equidistant from one point (the focus) and a line (the directrix). It looks a lot like the letter U, although it may be upside down or sideways. To form a parabola, the plane slices through parallel to the side of the right cone).
Hyperbola: A hyperbola is the set of points where the difference of the distances between two points is constant. The shape of the hyperbola is difficult to describe without a picture, but it looks visually like two parabolas (although they're very different mathematically) mirroring one another with some space between them. To get a hyperbola, the plane must slice through the right cone and a steep enough angle where it is slicing through both halves of the cone.
Most of the time, sketching a conic is not enough. Each conic section has its own set of information that you usually have to give to supplement the graph. You have to indicate where the center, vertices, major and minor axes, and foci are located. Often, this information is more important than the graph itself. Besides, knowing all this valuable info helps you sketch the graph more accurately than you could without it.


Trees are our friends, in more ways than one. There are a multitude of benefits that we receive from trees and it never hurts to remind ourselves just how important trees are to our ecosystem. As we look around the world at the incredible loss of both temperate and tropical forests, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out that this loss has got to have some effect on our climate. Forests are a climate stabilizer. They act as a buffer to the extremes of weather by moderating the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. An acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide one car can produce in one year by driving 26,000 miles. Think about the gazillions of cars in the world and then think about the gazillion acres of forests that are now either buildings, roads or airports and it should be obvious (even in our Evergreen State) that we need more trees.
In addition to removing carbon dioxide from the air, trees also filter out particulates. Trees filter rain water and prevent erosion which keeps our salmon happy. It has been proven that trees (and landscaping in general) can reduce crime in neighborhoods as well as increasing property values. Trees have positive effects on our mental health (check out the topic of "Forest Bathing" if you don't believe me). They help reduce the summertime temperatures around our homes and can provide habitat for wildlife.
While I realize I am mostly preaching to the choir, the real question becomes when and where is the best place to plant a tree. For trees that grow 60 feet tall or more, you will probably need more room then you have so leave those large shade trees to the parks and green belts. Focus on trees that are in the 25 to 40 feet range. They can be flowering types like cherries, plums, crabapples, dogwoods or magnolias or they can even be fruit trees (although fruit trees, because of the need to prune them for fruit production, will never absorb large amounts of carbon or provide much shade but they will fill our bellies with lots of yummy fruit). There are ornamental trees like Katsura, Weeping Beech, Japanese Snowbell, and of course Japanese Maples that make lovely specimens and are size appropriate. And there are smaller evergreens, like Hinoki cypress, Leyland cypress and Cryptomeria, that will also fit into our yards quite well. In other words, there are lots of options. Plant them all in full sun with good drainage, unless the label says otherwise.
As to when to plant, believe it or not, August is a fabulous month for two very good reasons. One, the soils are warm and with an appropriate amount of water, your tree will root in and be ready to grow come next spring. The second reason is that lots of garden centers are looking to reduce inventory so now is the time to find some bargains. Talk to the nursery professionals about how to properly plant your trees using organic transplant fertilizers, compost, and most importantly, how to treat the root system - especially if it is root bound.
With proper root pruning, good watering practices, a generous dose of organic fertilizer, and a healthy tree to start with, you should have no problem establishing your tree. There is no need to wait until the rains come. By then the soils will be too cool to encourage new roots.

General Notes for Child Robert Clarkson Thaxton
In the 1840 census, a Robert Faxton is listed. The ages of the children and the wife match that of Robert C. Thaxton. Good Possibility that this is Robert Thaxton, not Robert Faxton. Robert moved from Bedford County to Kanawha County area between 1834 and 1838. His first wife died between 1880 and 1885. He married his second wife in 20 May 1885 in Charleston, WV (license number 105).

Obituary submitted by Rose Peterson to Kanawha County Bible Records (Internet):
MRS. GOSHORN's DEATH
Occurred (sic) Sunday Morning at Cedar Grove--- Funeral Here Yesterday. [April 1900]
The death of Mrs. Sallie L. Goshorn, who had been slowly sinking for several weeks at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dr. C. H. Malcolm, at Cedar Grove, occurred Sunday morning at 8 o'clock. The funeral services were conducted yesterday morning at 11 o'clock at the Baptist church on Capital street, by Rev. T. C. Johnson, assisted by Rev. C. G. Christian, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Malden, after which the remains were interred in Spring Hill cemetery. Mrs. Goshorn was the widow of the late David Goshorn, who died in 1872. Her father was John McConihay, who settled here in 1805. At the time of her death, she was 69 years old. She was married July 11, 1850 and was the mother of eight children, six of whom survive her. They are J. W. Gorshorn, of Buffalo, N. Y.;
Ernest Goshorn and Alban Goshorn, and Mrs. E. J. Palmer, of this city and Louis Gorshorn and Mrs. Dr. C. H. Malcolm of Cedar Grove. Mrs. Gorshorn has been since her fourteenth year a consistent member of the Baptist church of this city, having been one of the original thirteen who formed it. She has ever been a liberal supporter
of all benevolent objects connected with her church and was loved and admired by all for her beautiful christian character and consistent life. About a year ago she selected the text, taken from the last verse of the sixth chapter of Romans, from which she requested her funeral sermon to be preached, and also the xxiii psalm to be read. The funeral services were largely attended, among those present from a distance being Mrs. Harry McConihay, of Russell, Ky., F. G. McConihay and wife of Lewiston and James McConihay and wife of East Bank. Those who acted as pall bearers were Elbert, George, William and Henry Goshorn, Harry Anderson and Dr. J. M. McConihay, all nephews of the deceaded.

Robertson Davies doesn't remember a time when he wasn't a writer, nor does he plan to have any such time in the future. "You carry your shop in your head, and unless you lose your wits," he says, "you ought to go on writing as long as you live." In this thoughtful back and forth with fellow University of Toronto professor Ramsey Cook, Davies reflects on the writing life, the complexity of his fellow citizens and the growing sophistication of Canadian readers.
• A lion of Canadian letters for more than 50 years, Robertson Davies was born on Aug. 28, 1913 in Thamesville, Ont. He studied at Queen's University and Oxford before signing on as literary editor of Saturday Night magazine in 1940. Two years later, he took the helm of the Peterborough Examiner, a newspaper owned by his family. From that base, he spent the next two decades writing commentary and fiction for a wide audience. He also became a key figure in Canadian theatre, writing and producing several plays and helping to launch the Stratford Festival.
• In 1962, Davies was appointed a professor of English at the University of Toronto, and a year later he became the first master of Massey College, the university's new graduate college. He held that post until he retired in 1981. During his years at Massey, Davies established an international reputation for his fiction. This stemmed in particular from his second trilogy, The Deptford Trilogy, which includes Fifth Business, The Manticore and World of Wonders. But in retirement Davies was as busy as ever, publishing a third trilogy and a number of works of non-fiction. His last novel, The Cunning Man, was published the same year as his sudden death from a heart attack in 1995. He was 82.
• During his lifetime, Davies won the Governor General's Award for fiction, the Stephen Leacock Medal for humour and was awarded honorary degrees from 23 universities around the world. He was invested as a companion of the Order of Canada in 1973.


This is the fifth unit in my new Kindergarten Writing Series! All materials are Common Core aligned and are easy to implement and use in differentiated settings.
I will be taking you from the the first few weeks in kindergarten all the way through the end of the year.
These units are also perfect for first grade and second grade writing instruction as well.
This listing is for the OPINION UNIT only.
This will help take the guess work out of, "How do I teach my students to write?!"
The units will be sequential and progressively get harder throughout the school year as students' skills develop.
Unit 5 is so much fun to teach!
"I like ______ more than ______ because..."
This unit will teach your students how to write about their opinions and give supporting details.
Activities provide scaffolding so your students can be confident and successful writers!
Included are activities suitable for whole group instruction, small groups, writing stations and independent work.
★ Which do you prefer?
Activities to introduce students to writing about their opinions.
Each activity gets slightly more difficult as students become more comfortable with writing their opinion.
★Which one do you like more?
Students choose between foods and/or activities to decide which one they like more. They then support their opinion with words from the word bank.
"I like my _______ more because____________________."
Students enjoy the routine and predictability of these activities and their confidence grows each time they complete a writing prompt.
Students choose a box/word to write about their opinion. A graphic organizer and writing paper are included so students can provide reasons/details to support their opinion.
Six holidays and four season are included!
Students can practice writing their opinion throughout the entire year.
"The best things about __________ are...."
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring.
I use this activity towards the end of the unit once students feel more confident about writing their opinion and giving supporting details.
Students choose an item they think is best and then give reasons why they think so. Supporting vocabulary is given for each picture to assist students with writing details.

Bamber, D, Owens, J, Davies, J and Suleman, A 2002, 'Enabling the emergent entrepreneurial organisation to develop new products' , International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour & Research, 8 (4) , pp. 203-221.
The research literature concerning the new product development process (NPD) is reviewed and this is placed within the concepts required for effective intrapreneurial learning (IL). A model of IL for emergent entrepreneurial organisations (EO) is presented and the necessity to assess progression towards learning objectives at the individual, job and organisation level is shown. Three aspects of organisational groundwork are identified and discussed. These include developing the NPD process, implementing the NPD strategy and allocating resources for development and IL. Sets of IL objectives are identified and discussed. These are organisational analysis, barrier demolition, team working, flexible problem solving, use of advanced support tools, facilitating communication, maintaining communication, decision making, assessment of the entrepreneurial environment (EE), and NPD risk analysis. These analyses will identify the groundwork that should be undertaken by the emergent EO and the initial learning objectives for the intrapreneurs. It is proposed that EOs will be promoted when the objectives set by both an organisational needs analysis and an individual needs analyses are accomplished and the EE is formed.

When the lights came up after "Mr. Frost," I was wrestling with a thorny theological question: If Satan chose to reveal himself to man, would he manifest himself as Jeff Goldblum? I ask the question because the Mr. Frost of the title is indeed Satan, and yet possesses all of Goldblum's usual mannerisms, those little personal tics that I found effective in movies like "The Fly" but less convincing, somehow, in the devil. Goldblum's slick charm, for example, and his way of throwing pauses into the middle of sentences, and what he does with his eyebrows.
One of Lucifer's intolerable penalties - in addition to being banished from heaven, of course - must have been the knowledge that he would be played by actors in the movies. God is rarely portrayed as a human being, but the devil provides more work than Joan of Arc. The most recent Satan on the screen was Robert De Niro ("Angel Heart"), where the dark eminence was portrayed as De Niro's impression of Martin Scorsese. Other actors who have played the devil include Emil Jannings, Walter Huston, Ray Milland, Rex Ingram, Burgess Meredith, Peter Cook and, of course, Vincent Price.
Of the lot, Jeff Goodblum's Satan is easily the least likable - which is praise, I guess. He is a mass murderer who lives in the country, on an estate where the tortured and mutilated bodies of his victims are buried all over the grounds. Arrested and taken into custody, he refuses to speak, and the police find it impossible to establish his real identity. Finally he is sent to a high-powered mental institution, run by the egotistical Reynhardt (Roland Giraud). But the only psychiatrist he will speak to is a woman, played by Kathy Baker.
Why does he choose her? To seduce her with his mind, perhaps. He tells her quite frankly that he is the devil, and the screenplay by Philip Setbon and Brad Lynch provides a nice little speech where he complains that the modern world has gone to - hell, I suppose. In the old days, he sighs, it was a simple matter of good and evil, and people sold their souls for youth and wealth. But today the shrinks have taken over, and there is an explanation for everything.
His mission on Earth is to remind man that the devil does indeed exist, and that he is slogging away in the trenches of our consciences, day after day, still trying to win our immortal souls.
His goal in his relationship with Baker is to convince her that he is indeed the devil - to drive her to the point where she will murder him. If he can get a psychiatrist to shoot him because he is Satan, that would be a personal victory.
Weird things happen around the asylum. An angelic young boy goes berserk. Dr. Reynhardt loses confidence in himself. Satanic eyes are reflected in rear-view mirrors. And Alan Bates, convinced that Frost is indeed the devil, has left the police force and followed Frost through three countries, and looks as if he walked every step of the way. "Mr. Frost" is silly, but not silly enough. The problem with movies like this is that they've forgotten how to be absurd.
They take everything so seriously. Even Jeff Goldblum falls into the trap, and with his sense of humor he should have been able to bring something to Satan other than the suave allure of a snake-oil salesman.
Note: We've been reading a lot about the new Europe, where currencies and passports will merge, and "Mr. Frost" seems to be the first new European movie. Frost's estate is clearly French, the local police inspector (Bates) is British, other officials seem French or Italian, the psychiatrist is American, and people keep saying there is "absolutely no clue" to Goldblum's origins - as if he didn't speak with an American accent.

Braemar SA recruits for the future
Dry Bulk | Shipping & Transport
In a move which reinforces its commitment to future growth, Braemar (Incorporating The Salvage Association), (Braemar SA), announces important new additions to its worldwide team of marine surveyors and consultants, as well as the opening of two new locations.
In the growing New York office, John Walker will be joining Braemar SA as Chief Surveyor, P&I and Legal Services Manager for the Americas, bringing with him extensive experience of marine consultancy at a senior level. Also new to the New York office is Luca Bruga, a naval architect, who will be joining as a Staff Surveyor. Luca was previously with The American P&I Club where he most recently worked within their loss prevention department.
Elsewhere three new Staff Surveyors have also been appointed. Christian Vammen brings his industry expertise to Dubai, Paul Saunders, a marine engineer becomes part of the London team and Freddie Lighthelm, a master mariner, joins in Capetown.
Braemar SA has opened an office in Seattle to support US West Coast operations, and north into Canada and Alaska, with Jonathan Wanliss appointed as Principal Surveyor. Within the Far East region it has established an office in Manila, with Marx Quebral transferring from the Singapore office to take on the role of Principal Surveyor.
Speaking on these new appointments and new offices Nigel Clark, Braemar SA Managing Director, says; "In our industry, recruiting well qualified and experienced technical staff is always a challenge, and I'm delighted that we have managed to attract five new recruits of such high calibre. Not only will our new staff members help to grow our business but they will also, along with our existing surveyors and consultants, form a part of our succession planning process to ensure we have suitably qualified and experienced senior managers in the future. I'm also delighted with the progress to date of our new offices in Seattle and Manila, both of which are proving very successful."

Q: Convert MD5 to Long I have a 16byte array from MD5 JAVA method.
I want to convert it to a long to use as a hashkey.
Am reading a bitwise XOR the bits to 64 is a good idea... then howto get a long from that?  full code example of XOR and cvt to long please.

A: The very best solution I found (based on my needs... mix of speed and good hash function) is Google's CityHash.  The input can be any byte array including an MD5 result and the output is an unsigned 64-bit long.
CityHash has a very good but not perfect hash distribution, and is very fast.
I ported CityHash from C++ to C# in half an hour.  A Java port should be straightforward too.
Just XORing the bits doesn't give as good a distribution (though admittedly that will be very fast).
I'm not familiar enough with Java to tell you exactly how to populate a long from a byte array (there could be a good helper I'm not familiar with, or I could get some details of arithmetic in Java wrong).  Essentially, though, you'll want to do something like this:
long a = md5[0] +
         256 * md5[1] +
         256 * 256 * md5[2] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * md5[3] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * md5[4] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * md5[5] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * md5[6] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * md5[7];

long b = md5[8] +
         256 * md5[9] +
         256 * 256 * md5[10] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * md5[11] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * md5[12] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * md5[13] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * md5[14] +
         256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * md5[15];

long result = a ^ b;

Note I have made no attempt to deal with endianness.  If you just care about a consistent hash value on a given platform, though, endianness should not matter.

A: Guava has some very nice Hashing capabilities:
Hashing.md5().hashString(s).asLong();

I believe the above is actually CityHash but regardless it will generate hash longs that you can use for whatever your hashing needs. (I tried @Eric J. Java code and it looks like CityHash 32).

A: Just to be clear, any subsection of a cryptographic digest no longer has many of the cryptographic properties of the digest, specifically these properties no longer hold:

*

*Inversion resistance (finding an X that satisfies H(X))

*Collision resistance (finding an X, Y such that H(X) = H(Y))

*Random distribution over the range of possible outputs

NOW: Billy Joel performing only Midwest concert at Miller Park on April 26
Tips for a fraud free new year
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – The Milwaukee Brewers announced Thursday that Billy Joel will make his only Midwest performance of 2019 at Miller Park on Friday, April 26. For Billy Joel, who will celebrate his 70th birthday on May 9, 2019, this event marks his first appearance at the ballpark in his storied career.
"We're excited to have Billy Joel at Miller Park this April," said Brewers Chief Operating Officer Rick Schlesinger. "We've been fortunate to host a number of award-winning artists over the years, but to have the opportunity to bring a Hall of Fame musician like Billy to Miller Park, and the city of Milwaukee is truly special."
Tickets for the April show will be available for purchase by the general public beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, January 18 via ticketmaster.com. For more information, visit Brewers.com/BillyJoel.
Billy Joel is one of the biggest concert draws in the world and continues this achievement with an impressive run of sold-out consecutive stadium shows and concert arenas. Billy Joel ranks as one of most popular recording artists and respected entertainers in history. The singer/songwriter/composer is the sixth best-selling recording artist of all time and the third best-selling solo artist. In 2016, the Library of Congress selected "Piano Man" for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its "cultural, historic, and artistic significance."

The Famous Christmas Lights of the Champs-Elysées Return!
The holiday season is almost here, and as anyone who lives in Paris knows, with Christmas comes the famous Christmas lights of the Champs-Elysées. Every year, the most famous avenue in the world becomes the brightest and most magical place in all of Paris. To kick off the "illuminations," as it is known in French, the city will hold a major lighting ceremony full of fun and cheer.
The ceremony takes place on November 21, 2013 and will feature French celebrities who will participate in the inauguration. Notably, movie star and model Laetita Casta will warm up the scene as she presides over the official lighting ceremony. She will be joined by Bertrand Delanoë, who has been mayor of Paris since 2001 — a veritable political institution in the City of Light.
In this way, Laetita Casta will join the ranks of French ingenues who came before her to preside over the inaugural lighting of the Champs-Elysées. Last year, it was international star Diane Kruger and before that, Audrey Tautou lent her charming presence to the scene.
Guests staying at one of the Sister Hotels Champs-Elysées can easily take part in the festivities, which are happening just steps away from their rooms. The ceremony on the 21st begins at 6:00 p.m. (address: 53 Avenue des Champs-Elysées), but the lights will stay put until January 8, 2014, which means that even those who cannot see the inauguration can enjoy the Christmas feeling for months to come. The lights on the Champs-Elysées will be illuminated every day from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m.
Anyone who witnesses the 200 trees all along the grand avenue shining brightly in the crisp night air will have no doubt that Paris is indeed one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Die Lotharinger Chorfrauenkirche ist ein ehemaliges barockes Kirchengebäude in der westfälischen Stadt Münster.

Die Kirche an der Hörsterstraße wurde vom Münsteraner Baumeister Johann Conrad Schlaun um 1764 erbaut. Der Grundriss der Kirche ist quadratisch mit abgerundeten Ecken, der Bau aus Ziegelsteinen weist ein barockes Portal mit dem Wappen des Adeligen auf, der den Bau finanzierte.

Die Kirche diente von ihrer Erbauung bis zur Aufhebung des Klosters der Lotharinger Chorfrauen 1811 als Klosterkirche und danach wechselnden Zwecken. Bei Luftangriffen auf Münster im Zweiten Weltkrieg  wurde die Kirche völlig zerstört und nur äußerlich wiederhergestellt. Nachdem das Gebäude zeitweise als Stadtarchiv genutzt wurde, dient es nun als Außenstelle des Standesamts mit repräsentativen Trausälen.

Selecting a new planning app can be an arduous task. You see lots of flashy demos, sales presentations and "cool" looking features. They all look the same right?
Well, that may be the true, but when you peel back the onion and take a closer look, there are some significant differences between the different vendor solutions.
If I were to say to you that your planning system would force you to combine your cost center and account dimensions into a single dimension by concatenating all of the cost center and account codes, you'd think I was crazy, right? If you knew in advance that it worked that way, you would never buy it, correct? Unfortunately, some solutions don't reveal their shortcomings until after they're implemented.
Acquiring a new planning application is a journey. Ideally, your new planning app is not just a great spreadsheet automation tool, but is also an enabler which can unlock a whole series of capabilities that were unthinkable in the spreadsheet world. Examples include: rolling forecasts, driver-based planning, linking operations to finance and predictive forecasting, to name but a few. The ultimate goal is an organisation in which plans for Finance, Operations, Sales, HR and a range of other essential functions can be created on a single, integrated platform, where planning is pervasive throughout the organisation and the organisation is constantly aligning resources to seize new opportunities.
With that said, it is important that you select the right planning platform which can support you on the above journey — even if your initial goal is simply to automate your spreadsheets.
In the market for a new planning application? Make sure you do the math first!
Looking for a new planning application? Are you really getting a "single version of the truth"?
The moral of the story is that a little extra care in your due diligence will benefit you when you're choosing a planning application.

Post Deal - The Plan for the First 90 Days
/2/1102/post-sale/first-100-days/post-deal-the-plan-for-the-first-90-days
Cory Janssen | Published: February 27, 2013 | Updated: May 14, 2014
Takeaway: Getting the deal done is one thing -- living with your new partners (or boss!) is another. In this article we talk about the first 90 days post deal and what you can learn from an entrepreneur who is now on the buy side.
I sat down with Tom Hendrickson, the founder and president of Mitre Media, an online financial media company focused on aggregating a sophisticated audience of high-net-worth retail investors and financial advisors to get his take on how things look from both the seller's and the buyer's perspective, and what sellers can do to facilitate a smooth deal. In 2012, Mitre raised $8.6 million from a small group of investors and completed three acquisitions - ETF Database (February), Dividend.com (June) and MunicipalBonds.com (October).
What follows is an edited version of our conversation.
Disclosure: Tom and I were business partners in a previous company, but neither I, nor Divestopedia have any financial interests in Mitre Media.
CJ: The deal's been signed, the celebration dinner has come and gone, and it's day 1 post deal. What's first?
TH: I've found that dealing with the hangover from the celebration dinner is a priority…
CJ: OK, after that.
TH: Back up a bit. I think the first day should be prepared for throughout the process. The fun stuff is the business initiatives - the things that the entrepreneur wasn't able to do prior to the acquisition. We want to get to that as quickly as possible to keep the momentum going.
One thing I do is host a series of calls during diligence that is not related to diligence. We then put together a checklist of admin stuff so that there is a roadmap for not just day one, but the first 90 days.
This stage is also about communication, communication, communication. Not just between the buyer and the seller, but also with employees, between the respective legal teams (who are likely still cleaning up the final details) and external suppliers or customers.
CJ: That's a great idea to try and separate post-deal from due diligence.
TH: Yeah, I think it's a red flag if the seller is not working with you on this. Remember, in the vast majority of cases you are going to have some sort of commitment after the deal has closed. I'd say that this is one way sellers can help to filter potential buyers, because it can make all the difference in the seller's life post deal if they know the buyer is being proactive about the process.
CJ: What is your typical roadmap for month 1?
TH: After you've taken a breather, it's the admin stuff, HR details, contract assignments that squeak by. It's everything that was put into the "post close pile."
The biggie is accounting. Every buyer is going to integrate accounting to some extent. Control of accounting, invoicing, process, etc. If there are layoffs, you need to figure out how it's playing out. The most important thing for accounting is payroll… paying people is kind of central to keeping them around. I know that sounds obvious, but in a smaller business, there are lots of these little things that become a headache. Everything from the switchover of bank accounts, bill payment, credit cards, etc. If you are bulge bracket, then its' different, but most smaller companies have a tight connection between the personal finances of the seller and the business.
CJ: What can the entrepreneur do to make the change easier?
TH: I could write a book on this. This first thing is to use common sense. Do what you say you'll do. Follow through on the promise or implied promises from the negotiation.
CJ: Goes without saying, doesn't it?
TH: You'd think. The second point is to take on responsibility beyond what you discussed. I've been fortunate enough to have some of my new partners go above and beyond and take on new roles. They go from sellers to partners very quickly. That's the ideal situation.
Third, don't sweat the small stuff post deal. Things are going to be rough for a while. AR and AP might not be perfect right away. There are always little things. Some also forget the complication of messed up financial periods. Few deals are done the first day of the month. It makes things messy.
Fourth, articulate to the team why it's the right decision for the company and for them. The core management team needs to know the business decision and why it works for them and not just the owner. Put yourself in their shoes. The entrepreneur has the money, that helps deal with change. For employees, there is uncertainty without the comfort of a wallet bulge. You want to treat employees right and paint the picture of why the deal makes sense.
Finally, the fifth point is to listen to the buyer. Sellers shouldn't go into it thinking that they know everything. While you need to know how you can articulate why you've done things, be open-minded in terms of experience in other areas. Doing things one way because you've always done them that way is not necessarily the best answer. Be open. Most buyers think there are things they can do to improve.
A great example was when we purchased Dividend.com. We cleared through the admin stuff in no time at all and the vendors, now my partners, asked for ways to improve. They realized that they'd built something great but that they can always improve.
This goes both ways though, because buyers don't know everything either. Part of what you are buying is the experience and expertise from the seller. The lines of communication have to be wide open. I think back to the sale of Investopedia to Forbes. Forbes certainly had a lot of strength in areas that Investopedia didn't - direct sales for example - but Investopedia had strengths in areas Forbes didn't, like Investopedia's unique content creation model and search optimization prowess.
I think that successful deals are predicated on complimentary strengths.
CJ: That's great. I think it's worth pointing out that being the perfect seller is not just nice to do, but in your best interest.
TH: Right. If you've done a deal where you walk out of the door on day 1, then great, take your money and leave. But in most cases, you are now going to be working together very closely. When I do a deal, there are always things we think we can improve in the business. The sellers are becoming new partners in our firm, and it can be tough because you go from this adversarial negotiation to a partnership. The quicker you lose the us vs. them mentality and embrace the partnership, the better it will be for both parties.
CJ: Do you have an end message to leave with business owners about post-close?
TH: I'd emphasize that for us, a great day 1 starts before close. Transparency is tough because you are holding your cards close to your chest. It's true that buyers can over-err on not communicating enough, but if you have a plan in advance, you can clean up all the post-deal stuff and get to capitalizing on why you did the deal.

Earlier this week, I wrote a couple of articles (here and here) about the future of interactions. But I want to explore this a bit further. The 'future concepts' that many are working on are missing one critical element of how and why we interact.
One example is when the New York Times, presented their interactive mirror. With it, you can check the weather, read the news, and do other cool things - while brushing your teeth.
The concepts within the mirror are very impressive. But the interactive mirror itself is based upon a world where the computer is stationary.
In the past, computers were something you placed on a desk, something you had to go to. This proved to be a problem, because that meant you could not interact from your bathroom, your living room, your bedroom or the kitchen.
Over the past 10 years, many companies, futurists, and researchers have been conceptualizing the 'smart home'. In it they try to solve this problem by placing a computer in every room. In your bathroom, you will have an interactive mirror where you can read the latest news, check emails or post to Facebook. In your kitchen, you will have an interactive refrigerator so that you can watch TV or look at digital recipes while cooking.
In your living room, you will have a Microsoft Surface, so that you could go online from your coffee table. And the concept is even extended to the outside world. You will have a computer in your car, and even the bus stop would be interactive - allowing you to browse the web while waiting.
The concepts behind all these 'smart appliances' are very interesting. But you have to *go to them*.
You have to go to your refrigerator to use it. But what if I want to decide what to eat later tonight, while I am waiting for a meeting to start? I can't just go home to my refrigerator.
As you can see, I also have a 'Magic Mirror'. On it, I can read the New York Times and any other newspaper. I can update Twitter or Facebook, watch the BBC, play a game of Angry Birds, check the weather, talk with someone on Skype, and about billion other things.
I already have all the things the 'future concepts' talk about. And not only that, but my 'magic mirror' comes with access to 60,000+ apps.
And here the amazing part. When I'm done brushing my teeth, I can take it with me into the kitchen, where I can continue to read the news while making breakfast. When I'm done doing that, I can take it with me to one of my 'secret writing spots' where I like to write my books and articles.
Note: There is nothing more relaxing (and productive) than to write an article in the middle of a forest on a rainy day!
The world in which we need to put a 'computer in every room' is a relic from the past where the computer was a stationary object that was impractical to bring with us. We have solved that problem with our smartphones and tablets. That is our magic mirror. We are now living future.
But the concepts are brilliant. Take the interactive refrigerator in the video above. I want to be able to see what food I have in my home, and when it expires. I want to be able to see what kind of recipes that matches my current stock. That's brilliant!
But I don't want it to be on my stationary refrigerator. I want to look up my list of food, so that I know what I need to buy *before* I go home. I want to be able to plan my evening meal from my couch.
More to the point. I want to be able to track all my food, not just the things inside my refrigerator. And I want to be able to track all the other household products that I need to shop for too.
And I want to be able to do that from whatever device I happen to be using right now.
Also, I love the idea that I can see where the bus is at the bus stop using GPS tracking on an interactive display. But I want that display to be on my phone. If the bus is 15 minutes late, I want to know that *before* I go to the bus stop.
My 'magic mirror' is a tablet and a smartphone. That is the future of the 'smart home' and the 'connected life'.
Don't get me wrong, I love it when companies like the New York Times experiment with new ways to interact. But they need to stop thinking of 'computers' as stationary object.
Mobile is the new future - even inside our homes.


HARRISBURG (DECEMBER 1) – In October, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the seven-county Pittsburgh Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) fell four-tenths of a percentage point to 7.0 percent, the second consecutive decline of four-tenths of a percentage point.
The local rate remained below Pennsylvania's rate (8.1%) which fell two-tenths of a percentage point and the United States' rate (9.0%) which was down one-tenth of a percentage point. Over the year, the Pittsburgh MSA's unemployment rate was down nine-tenths of a percentage point, while Pennsylvania's rate was down four-tenths of a percentage point, and the national rate fell seven-tenths of a percentage point over the same period.
Among the commonwealth's 14 MSAs, the Pittsburgh MSA was ranked as the 5th lowest unemployment rate in October. Within the Pittsburgh MSA, Butler County (6.4%) had the lowest rate while Fayette County (8.7%) had the highest rate. Among Pennsylvania's 67 counties, unemployment rates ranged from 5.3 percent in Centre County to 11.2 percent in Cameron County.

Pittsburgh Unemployment Rate Rises in June. How That Can Be A Positive!
Number of jobs offered during June enjoyed a healthy increase (8,800) which enticed more people to enter the job market. This was the cause of the unemployment rate going up. There were more jobseekers entering the job market than the number of jobs added.
– In June, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the seven-county Pittsburgh Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) rose three-tenths of a percentage point to 7.3%.
The local rate was below Pennsylvania's rate (7.6%) and the United States' rate (9.2%). The Pittsburgh's MSA unemployment rate was down six-tenths of a percentage point from June 2010, while Pennsylvania's rate was down 1.1 percentage points and the national rate was down three-tenths of a percentage point over the same period.
Among the commonwealth's 14 MSAs, the Pittsburgh MSA had the sixth lowest unemployment rate in June. Within the Pittsburgh MSA, Butler County (6.9%) had the lowest rate and Fayette County (9.0%) had the highest rate. Among Pennsylvania's 67 counties, unemployment rates ranged from 5.7 percent in Centre County to 11.2 percent in Cameron County.
Seasonally adjusted total nonfarm jobs in the Pittsburgh MSA rose 8,800 in June to 1,140,600. This month's increase followed a May decline of 7,900. Statewide jobs were down 2,600 in June to 5,676,900. Jobs in the Pittsburgh MSA were up 14,100 (1.3%) from June 2010, while Pennsylvania's jobs rose 46,400 (0.8%) from the previous year's level.
Service-providing jobs rose 10,900 in June, pushing the job level past one million for the first time ever. Leisure & hospitality continued to see seasonal growth (up 3,500), carried by gains in accommodations & food services. Professional & business services showed the second largest supersector growth, up 1,700 over the month. Within education & health services, a large gain in health care & social assistance was countered by a seasonal decline in educational services. Over the year, trade, transportation, & utilities, education & health services, and professional & business services have shown the largest increases. Supersectors showing over-the-year declines were government, other services, and information.


Artbeat Rooms is located in the most central part of Lisbon (Baixa/downtown), perfectly within walking distance to the Castle zone with its lovely "miradouros", and Alfama with its neverending sound of Fado, and neverdrying loundry hanging by the windows letting you scent the spirit of old Lisbon.
On the other side of Baixa, you enter the fashion and designers' area, Chiado, and Bairro Alto with its incredible energy, loads of bars and restaurants.
You couldn't be better placed to visit Lisbon!!
get out in Praça de Comércio and go under the arch to Rua Augusta. Turn into the fourth street on the right (rua São Nicolau).
Take red line and the blue till Baixa-Chiado metro station (on metro station, buy the Viva Viagem card and charge it with "store value" which later will be useful for transport - 1,30€) and go out to exit "rua do crucifixo/ rua de ouro", then turn right and afterwards on the left you will turn in São Nicolau street.
- 5 minutes by metro (1,30€) - 2 stops till Terreiro do Paço, there you go out in Praça de Comércio and follow as above.
- It is 15-20 minute walk.
-Taxi is about 6 euro.
- Get to Baixa-Chiado metro station (on metro station, buy the Viva Viagem card and charge it with "Store Value" which later will be useful for transport - 1,30€) and go out to exit "Rua do Crucifixo/ Rua de Ouro", then turn right and afterwards on the left you will turn in São Nicolau street.
This is the center of Lisbon, so you have to pay to park in the streets nearby (ex. Rua da Madalena) on weekdays and Saturday morning (Saturday afternoon, Sunday and bank holidays are for free). There is also an outside guarded carpark between Jardim do Tabaco and Santa Apolonia that you pay 6-8€ for 24h and is located around 15minutes from the hostel.


Tomorrow is like my version of a national holiday… It is the first day of farmer's market season. All the cookbook research I have done for new recipe ideas can start coming to fruition. This year I have made a pact with myself. I am the first person to drool over new ideas but the last to actually make an effort to mix things up. Like with everything if you put too much pressure on yourself to try something new every day then it all goes to hell and you find yourself making the same 3 dishes. So this season I am going to try 2 entirely new recipes a week. Baby steps. Maybe I will share them all with you as I go.


On Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas, you will find unique ways to spend time onboard, but one experience that really stands out is the Escape the Rubicon.
Escape the Rubicon is an escape room experience, which Royal Caribbean first introduced on Anthem of the Seas (it is also available on Ovation of the Seas). On Harmony of the Seas, the escape room has its own dedicated venue, so it is fully built out for a complete experience.
If you are knew to an escape room game, you might be a little hesitant at the idea of going into a "locked" room for an our and not really knowing what to expect. Take solace in the fact that Escape the Rubicon might have been the most fun we had onboard the ship. This is truly unlike anything else you have ever done on a cruise ship, and it is incredible appealing.
If you are unfamiliar with an escape room game, essentially it is a timed challenge, where you and those in your group have a set time limit to figure out various puzzles and clues to solve an overall solution that provides the means of "escaping" the room. Royal Caribbean teamed up with Puzzle Break to create a special version just for Harmony of the Seas.
When you arrive for your session, a short video will explain some ground rules of the puzzle. A crew member will supervise your group and will go over a few items in the room that are not part of the game, such as fire sprinklers and emergency exits.
The host will then have one member of the team hit the start button and you are off, leaving you with 60 minutes to figure out the puzzles to escape.
The game requires a minimum of six players, believe me when I say this, you need at least six to play. During my experience we only had five and the host would play as the sixth person, but only doing what he told her to do specifically.
At a few points in the game we were moving slower than we should to complete the puzzle. The host would give us basic hints like, "what are we looking for" or "what are we trying to complete" in a way to bring the team on task and focus.
Without giving the puzzle away, the key is to work together as a team and think outside the box. It is very easy to assume certain elements of the room and ideas are "obvious", but often paying attention to the small details really helps. In addition, split tasks among members of the group to get things done quicker. Often there are multiple puzzles to decipher at the same time, so make use of the brain power in the room.
What we liked: A completely different experience from the usual cruise ship activities, and quite challenging too.
What we did not like: It is not a complimentary activity.
Cost: When we experienced Escape the Rubicon, the game was complimentary but we have heard Royal Caribbean is now charging $8.99 per guest to compete.

Q: stm32f030 doesn't go to sleep I want to enter the sleep mode with WFI on a stm32f030 (cortex M0).
However my code doesn't seem to work on the stm32f030 but works on an stm32f103.
I think it works because when trying to flash again the f103 (with stlink utility or keil) it doesn't respond and I have to connect under reset which tends to indicate that the cpu is sleeping. But I can connect without problem the f030.
Here is my code:
int main() {
      SetupSleep();
      __wfi();
      while(1){}
    }
Here is the content of my SetupSleep() function:
void SetupSleep(void){
      SCB->SCR |= (1ul << 1);
      SCB->SCR &= ~(1ul << 2);
    }
Which according to the page 81 of the f030 programming manual (http://www.st.com/web/en/resource/technical/document/programming_manual/DM00051352.pdf) selects Sleep mode and Sleeponexit.
Does it mean an interrupt occurs that makes the cpu exiting sleep mode ?
It is my first time using the sleep mode so maybe my implementation is not correct.

A: Instead of manipulating the registers directly, take a look at what the standard peripheral library does. In particular, look at PWR_EnterSleepMode() in stm32f0xx_pwr.c.
At the very least I can see that you're not executing either __WFI() or __WFE() to actually enter sleep mode. There are also the other low power modes: standby and stop that may be of interest to you.


As the world celebrates the Global Money Week, more emphasis is being placed on increasing financial inclusion and literacy in Nigeria.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) along with players, stakeholders as well as regulators in the financial system have made financial literacy the goal of this year's celebration.
A 2010 survey by Enhancing Financial Innovation and Access (EFInA) shows that 36 per cent of the adult population in Nigeria have access to formal financial services.
This means only an estimated 27 million out of 85 million Nigerians above the age of 18 are served by formal financial service institutions.


4:51, with two miles in 9:42, and three miles in 14:26. Four miles was hit in 19:12, five miles in 24:00 and six miles in 28:49, and 10k in 29:50. The conditions are very good, and the pace is faster than when Khannouchi ran his world record. By this time the pack, now down to nine, hit the ten kilometer mark, Fujiwara of Japan was gone, and the men's lead pack is an all Kenyan crowd. The pack started at fifteen, then by three miles to thirteen, then by the 10k, to a pack of nine.
Constantina Tomescu-Dita of Romania, who ran so brilliantly in Beijing, is doing her fall double. With Kate O'Neill and Colleen de Reuck of the US in attendance. The first six miles for women were covered as follows: 6 minutes for the first mile, 12:04 for two miles, 17:51 for three miles, four miles in 23:42, five miles in 29:28, and six miles in 35:16, with 10k covered in 36:30.

Trump accuses Democratic congresswomen of hating America, says they can leave

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday defended his attacks against four Democratic congresswomen, saying he was not concerned if people thought his tweets toward them were racist and accused the U.S. lawmakers of hating America.
"As far as I'm concerned if you hate our country, if you're not happy here, you can leave," Trump said at an event at the White House.
The event was meant to highlight U.S. manufacturing, with Trump viewing boats, motorcycles and other products that were made in the United States, but his comments about the lawmakers overshadowed the event.
"If you're not happy in the U.S., if you're complaining all the time, very simply: you can leave," he said, drawing applause from some of the crowd. "You can leave right now. I don't know who's going to miss 'em."
Asked if he was concerned that some people viewed his tweets as racist or that white supremacists had found common cause with him, Trump said it did not.
"It doesn't concern me because many people agree with me," Trump said.
Over the weekend Trump said in a tweet that the four first-term minority congresswomen, known informally in Congress as "the squad," should "go back" to the "the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." (Reporting by Jeff Mason and Susan Heavey; Editing by Bill Trott)

I get your frustration with our people. Contradicting and,- no sense. How can it make sense to an outsider if it never made sense to me? My own, most probable explanation is that our people must have retained a lot of an ancient religion of that region And being at the cross roads of cultures over centuries they took on a little from every dominating culture at the time but, still preserved their ancient pagan culture as well. There are some natives in South Amerika which took on the Catholic faith of the Spanish and mixed it heavily with their ancient beliefs. Or some cultures in Africa and Caribbean that still practice ancient beliefs mixed with Catholic rituals. Even in Europe some people are looking to their ancient pagan past again. I think everything is constantly moving and changing. Nothing ever stays the same.


Here is a video tutorial of a mini album I made using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit Die. I love this die set and I love the bags it makes. When I made a bag I though that they would make a lovely album page in a mini so I set about working out how I could do it and here is the result.
If you have a binding tool then you can use that instead of making the hinge section - this makes the process even quicker.
