### Projects

  Most of these are pretty old. Some are little, some are big. Some are games, some are apps. Some are well written, and some... well, I was only learning, so it's okay.

A songwriter, singer, musician, producer, and music teacher, Thompson has orchestrated an event that showcases the composers, with some legendary songwriters among the seventy performing in November's festival in Panama City, Florida.
Charlie Black ("Shadows in the Moonlight" and "A Little Good News" for Anne Murray; "Right on the Money" recorded by Alan Jackson) and Dana Black ("Check Yes or No" and "Write This Down" for George Strait) have scored over twenty top hits between them. Monty Powell ("Sweet Thing" and "Kiss a Girl" recorded by Keith Urban) has more than ten number-one songs. Hits of Brandon Barnes ("One Last Cry" and "Anytime" recorded by Brian McKnight) top the R&B charts. Brian White's music ("Holding Out Hope to You" recorded by Michael English; "The Promise" recorded by the Martins) has delivered fourteen top hits and garnered two Dove Awards. Other notables include Travis Meadows, Eric Erdman, Will Kimbrough, Grayson Capps, Gabe Dixon, and Adam Wakefield (The Voice). Taking the stage, too, are regional and local talents.
He could have arranged a beach happening to maximize crowds and sponsorships, but Thompson chose in-town venues to set a personal tone. "We have seating for about fourteen hundred people," he says. "It's a nice, comfortable festival, not too big, so everyone has a VIP experience. We're not selling more tickets than seats." General admission tickets ($50) allow access to all venues during Saturday, November 17, and Sunday, November 18. Enhanced VIP options add a Friday evening party ($85) or a Sunday sunset cruise ($125) with live music, hors d'oeuvres, and drinks.
Besides featuring music veterans like Black and White, Thompson says, "This is also about those songwriting treasures who aren't yet heard. We are very big on giving people a chance and a place to perform." Accepting submissions from all over the nation, Thompson called on a panel of judges to review each entry, requiring two audio recordings of original songs and one video.
"It's a unique opportunity to hear from the heart of the songwriter," says Brian White, "and we convey it differently.
Also encouraging teens between the ages of twelve and eighteen to submit a song, Thompson says, "We picked special students to perform at the festival. It's important to let them know there is a place for their songs." The event's proceeds will benefit the Bay Youth Music Association (BYMA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that Thompson formed five years ago to fund music education in Florida's Bay County high schools.
"Florida ranks forty-eight out of fifty for school funding for the arts," says Thompson. "I started BYMA by just teaching kids music here and there." The charity also gave low-income students their own instruments, but parents would sometimes pawn them, so with teachers' input, the instruments are now donated to schools. In 2018, BYMA further awarded its first monetary scholarship to a talented student pursuing a music degree at Troy University.
Thompson's goal is to build what he calls "a YMCA for musicians. Instead of coming up to the front desk for a basketball or football, the student will get a trumpet or other instrument to practice." The facility would provide soundproof practice rooms and volunteer music teachers for lessons. Fund-raising through endeavors like the PC Songwriters Festival and contributions from those who appreciate a music education's value, even if not for a career, is vital.
Thompson was a college sophomore when he seized an opportunity to work with Brian McKnight, the multiple Grammy-nominated R&B artist. Having McKnight, his most powerful influence, take him under wing seemed a dream but led Thompson to his "little Jerry McGuire moment," he says. "I was offered a record deal in New York, Nashville, and LA. I want to be a musician on a record label, but none of them was right." Waking away from everything, he spent a year working on a chicken farm in Goshen, Alabama, before returning to Panama City.
There's never been a better time to get your music heard because there are so many outlets.
While teaching and occasionally "singing out," Thompson was "looking for someone who would partner with me, care about my well-being, my longevity—not just a quick hit. I wanted to build something that had integrity and felt right." After seeing him perform, music producer Tommy Jackson offered Thompson an attractive sum to take his career seriously. Keeping a quarter of the money, Thompson gave the rest to charity, a musician buddy, and his wife, Lindsey, who is now making a name for herself as a singer-songwriter. "Her career has snowballed," says Thompson. He also set up a recording studio next to his home, where he produces everything from R&B to country for other artists, charity projects, and himself. Singing his songs and playing all instruments, he solely produced his album Turn It Up. "I fell in love with music again," he affirms.
Garnering the industry's love and respect is tough. "They hardly pay songwriters anything," says Dana Black. "If you get really hot and meet the right people or the right person to record the album, that's a big thing, but a rare thing." Still, while competing for limited spots on the same celebrities' albums, Nashville's veterans contend that songwriters support each other.
Songwriting is a calling. For Thompson, it's about creating art, connecting with people from all walks of life, following his dreams, and helping young musicians do the same. Whatever comes next, the Bay Youth Music Association and PC Songwriters Festival are already important chapters with more to be written.

MOONGA – Red Coral also known as Moonga in India is red in color. It is used to enhance the powers of the planet Mars (Mangal). It emits yellow cosmic rays. Mars is the chief of the assembly of the nine planets. If Mars rays are weak, there may be little ambition, weak character or personality and feelings of constant fear. Red Coral improves the immune system, cures blood and lever related diseases like – measles, eczema, boils, piles, etc. It also helps in curing rheumatism, lack of sexual desire, increasing courage, one's stamina, determination and self confidence. Corals are found from the coasts of Algeria and Tunisia, coasts of Spain, France, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, as well as the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. Also off the northwest coast of Africa, coasts of Australia and Indian Ocean. Corals found in the Seas around Japan and India are now a days in demand because of the skilful craftsmen of Japan and India who produce very fine corals.


PHILADELPHIA, PA. 1/18/2014 – A jammed packed Palestra, loud, the rooting sections split evenly. Every play cheered, rollouts,every shot challenged, every loose ball contested, and a game that was not decided until late. It was Big Five college basketball at the Palestra, they way it was then and now. In the end the La Salle Explorers (11 – 6) ended their eight game losing streak against the Temple Owls (5 – 11) 74 – 68. The day will be remembered as an Explorer win, ESPN Game Day was here, and the nation saw what we in Philadelphia have seen over many years. An afternoon to be treasured, for the game and for the setting. The coaches understood.
The game lived up to the expectations as well. La Salle held a five point halftime lead, a lead they kept throughout. However, an under manned Owls team missing point guard Will Cummings stayed in the game. The Explorers took a 13 point lead at 59 – 46 with 9:46 to play. The Owls battled back behind a 14 – 5 run to get to within 4 at 64 – 60 on a three-pointer by sophomore guard Quenton DeCosey who scored a game-high 21 points. La Salle answered with a corner jumper by senior guard Tyrone Garland, the ball went in as the shot clock expired. A three-pointer by senior guard Tyreek Duren gave La Salle control with a 69 – 62 lead. The crowd was treated to more excitement as the Owls scored 6 of the next 7 points to pull to within 70 – 68 with 39 seconds on the clock. Free throws by Duren and Garland ended the scoring.
Duren led the Explorers with 20 points and a game-high 7 assists. Garland added 17 points. Senior forward Jerrell Wright scored 15 points. Senior center Steve Zack recorded his 10th double-double scoring 10 points and pulling down 15 rebounds. Zack leads the Atlantic 10 in both categories.
For the Owls senior guard Dalton Pepper scored 15 points. Sophomore forward Devontae Watson set a career mark in rebounds with 7. Junior forward Anthony Lee scored 19 points and grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds. Despite this being the sixth loss in a row, Lee can recollect more than a score.

Q: Swift: method to disable UITabBarItem not functioning I'm trying to disable a tab item if internet connection is not available. I have the following:
    internal func getViewControllers(connectionStatus: ConnectionService.ConnectionStatus) {
    if connectionStatus == .connected {
        if let arrayOfTabBarItems = self.tabBar.items as AnyObject as? NSArray,
            let tabBarItem = arrayOfTabBarItems[1] as? UITabBarItem {
            print("***** \(arrayOfTabBarItems[1])")
            tabBarItem.isEnabled = false
        }
    } else {
           if let arrayOfTabBarItems = self.tabBar.items as AnyObject as? NSArray,
            let tabBarItem = arrayOfTabBarItems[2] as? UITabBarItem {
            print("***** \(arrayOfTabBarItems[2])")
            tabBarItem.isEnabled = false
        }
    }
}

The method is called from another class which is detecting the connection status of the user's device. The method is called when it should be, but the tabBarItem is not disabled as I would expect.
The print statement is run and prints the following (when .connected):
***** <UITabBarItem: 0x11df3c8a0> title='Retrieve Completed Orders' image=<UIImage:0x2801bc090 named(main: tabbar_orders) {30, 30}>

Which is what I would expect. This is indeed the name of the second tab. Any ideas would be very much appreciated as this is driving me mad...

A: I don't think the isEnabled property of tab bar items works to disable it. I believe UITabBarItem inherits that property from its parent class, UIBarItem.
Instead, you should implement the UITabBarControllerDelegate method tabBarController(_:shouldSelect:)
When the user taps on a tab bar item, the tab bar would call that method on its delegate. If you don't want the item to become active, you'd return false.

"Has any player has scored a 'perfect dead-ball' hat-trick in a game, coming from a free-kick, penalty and straight in from a corner?" wondered Rob Yeoman last week.
The slightly surprising answer is … yes! "Here in Japan in 2010 the Brazilian midfielder Marcio Richardes achieved the feat while playing for Albirex Niigata against Vegalta Sendai," writes Alastair Bourne. "And here's the evidence to prove it …"
GOLDEN BOOT PENALTY TAKERS
"So I was watching the highlights of the CAF U-20 African Youth Championship semi-final between Nigeria and Ghana," began Tobi Amoo, a couple of weeks ago, "and I observed as Musa Muhammed, Nigeria's buccaneering right-back and captain, blasted the ball into the net from the penalty spot for the second goal, that would make him the highest scorer at the tournament with four goals, having scored three goals earlier in the group stage, all from the penalty spot. The question is: has a player won the Golden Boot at any tournament, club or country, by scoring only penalties?"
The slightly surprising answer is … yes! Again!
"Well, there is a quite special case, which is the goalkeeper Carlos Fenoy becoming top scorer of a team this way," begins Jordi Gómez (not that one). "Fenoy was an Argentinian goalkeeper, who arrived to Spain to play for Celta de Vigo in 1976. In the third match of the season, against Real Sociedad, he became a club idol by showing his skills from the penalty spot. First, he saved a penalty taken by Ricardo Muruzábal, and later scored another one against the mystical Luis Arconada to give Celta a 1-0 win. During the rest of the season, he managed to score four more penalties, against Real Madrid, Las Palmas (twice), and Elche. In total he scored only five goals, but it turns out that the forwards at Celta that season were not very lucky, so the goalkeeper was the lone top scorer of the team in that league championship. Celta got relegated with a total of only 22 goals for in 34 matches."
LONGEST GAP BETWEEN CAPS
"As my house mate and I were half watching the Scotland-Northern Ireland game I completely misheard the commentator say that it was some players first appearance in 16 years," writes Jamie Dodd. "This turned out to be false following a quick rewind but it got us thinking – which player has the biggest gap between two international matches and how long was it?"
The record for the longest gap between two England caps belongs to the Liverpool legend Ian Callaghan, who won his second cap against France in England's final group game of the 1966 World Cup but then had to wait 11 years and 49 days for his third cap, when Ron Greenwood recalled him to face Switzerland in a friendly in 1977.
But the world record. Wouter IJzermans reckons it might be the Greek Maradona Vasilis Hatzipanagis. "His first game for Greece was on May 6 1976 (a 1-0 victory over Poland)," writes Wouter. "After his first match Fifa prevented him from playing again for the Greece squad because he had played for the Soviet Olympic team back in 1975 [Hatzipanagis had been born in Tashkent to Greek political refugees]. After a long career, he was offered a chance to play another international match when this restriction was lifted in 1999, which means he got his second cap at the ripe old age of 45 on the December 14 1999 in a friendly match against Ghana (1-1), 23 years after making his debut for the Greek national team."
Here he is winning that elusive second cap:
And here's why it's such a shame he missed out on so much international football:
"Apparently, some MP mentioned some footballer in the Commons the other day, or something," began Andy Jowett back in 2011. "What other examples are there of players being mentioned or discussed in the chamber – in any capacity – by the honourable members? I believe questions were asked in parliament when Alf Common moved from Sunderland to Middlesbrough for £1,000 but are there any others?"
Last week we looked at the footballers who have been namechecked in the House of Lords, with Michael Howard's 1994 World Cup optimism and John Wells' 1984 assertion that Glenn Hoddle and Bryan Robson should be the British leaders in the event of an apocalypse particular favourites. But in terms of sheer numbers and, it seems, premeditated action, Stephen Pound deserves special mention. The MP for Ealing North managed to shoehorn an entire Fulham first XI (and a couple of subs) into a debate on the Planning and Energy Bill in May 2008:
"I thank my hon Friend for the positive way in which he is approaching this excellent Bill. New clause 1 would introduce a requirement to exceed building regulations – a Merton plus, plus model. In view of the work done by experts such as McBride and Healey, is it not the case that the building regulations will always be exceeded, regardless of what they are?"
"My hon Friend underlines in many ways the importance of this Bill promoted by the hon Member for Sevenoaks (Mr. Fallon). However, I am concerned about whether there is a lacuna in the area of education. I think of my constituent, Mr. Simon Davies, who told me about the house built in south Wales by my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Medway (Mr. Marshall-Andrews), which is known as the "Teletubbies house" and is built almost entirely underground and covered with what he calls organic insulation and the rest of us call grass."
"My hon Friend refers principally to thermal insulation, but he is on to something quite important with regard to sound attenuation. On the point about the amount of development in inner-London constituencies, in my area, even where there are cellars – or Kasey Kellers as people call them locally – people have tried to build there. Given his discussions with the Thermal Insulation Manufacturers and Suppliers Association, was he aware of any part of its remit that includes the benign combination of thermal and sound insulation in the same material?"
"I do not think that there will be many arguments in the House today except on points of detail. My hon Friend referred to forward-thinking local authorities. I appreciate that we cannot introduce retrospective legislation, or retrofit legislation, and a builder such as Murphys in my constituency will say that it is perfectly happy and comfortable with the requirements for extensions and new build, but is there not a danger that we could end up with a two-tier system where older converted properties are energy-inefficient and the modern ones are efficient?"
Bearing in mind your rigid strictures, Madam Deputy Speaker, I will not give the warm words of praise to that eager partnership that I would have given otherwise. My hon Friend's new clause 1 is permissive: he is saying what a local authority may do, not what it shall do, which is implicit in the Bill as drafted. House prices are falling. If one talks to builders such as Mr. Dempsey in my constituency, to whom I talked last week, they will say that in a falling house market, margins are shaved.
I have mentioned former local government planning officers, who seem to work as consultants nowadays. Many of them will be as busy as Jimmy Bullard, as we say in west London, trying to find their way around words such as "reasonable" and around the permissive nature of "may".
My hon. Friend makes an extremely important point, which is relevant to home information packs, although I do not wish to rehash the whole argument that we had on those. His point chimes with mine, in that, by and large, we tend to seek examples of good practice that have commercial benefit. I remember visiting a property in a place called Hangeland, in Norway, where they use a commercially driven system of heat insulation, not just because that is environmentally correct, but because it is an advantage to do so in that part of the world.
There is no point whatever in having energy-efficient homes if people do not want to live in them or if they cost too much. Prefabs are very popular; Baird Avenue in my constituency was built before the war and it is very popular.
Does my hon Friend agree that it matters not whether a person is called Konchesky or Stalteri, and that what matters is the home that they need, not their origins?
The hon Gentleman is to be congratulated on the way in which he has promoted the Bill. He has not used some of the more flashy and apocalyptic images. He has been more of a Barrington than a Dexter, more of a Gooch than a Gower and more of an Erik Nevland than a Diomansy Kamara. His taut, sparse, precise, elegant Bill has been all the better for that.
For thousands more questions and answers take a trip through the Knowledge archive.
"Since any player born in the decade of Choppers, glam rock and being fondly remembered by Stuart Maconie – that is, the 1970s – would now be a veteran, I was wondering who was the last player active in any of the top four tiers of English football to have been born in the 1960s?" wonders James Murton.
"The New Saints have won the league cup, the league and are through to the final of the Welsh Cup," writes Seiriol Hughes. "They are unbeaten in all competitions this season so far, and if they avoid defeat in their final three league games and in the cup final, they will create Welsh domestic football history – the first team ever to complete an unbeaten season in all competitions. Is this unprecedented? How many other teams have completed a perfect season in all competitions?"
"In the recent Concacaf 2018 World Cup qualifiers, St Kitts and Nevis beat Turks and Caicos Islands by 12-4 over two legs, with both matches finishing 6-2," notes Andrew Willimott. "Has there ever been a higher aggregate score between two teams over two legs where both matches have featured the same score?"
"Last week's Knowledge mentioned Manchester City's Uefa Cup campaign from the 2008-09 season," writes Andrew Thomas. "After a quick look at their campaign trail, I noticed that including the qualifying round they played three teams from Denmark. Has a team ever played more teams from the same country in a European cup campaign?"
"Hibs and Hearts played at the weekend," begins Paul Reilly. "Hibs are playing in a special all green kit this season (as opposed to the usual white sleeves) and Hearts wore a Argentina inspired away kit rather than the usual maroon. I can't think of any reason why Hearts would be in their away kit as it's never occurred before against Hibs (that I'm aware of) and with Hibs also wearing a different kit than usual this got me thinking. Are there any other examples of derby matches where teams have played in kits that broke with tradition? eg Celtic in a black kit against an all red Rangers, Barcelona in green against a yellow Madrid."
"Hamilton Accies are having a season of two halves: challenging and holding top spot in the Scottish Premiership before Christmas they haven't won since Alex Neil left to become manager of Norwich, who have since seen their own fortunes change for the good," writes Andrew Tomlinson. "My question is: what's the biggest shift in results from before Christmas to after? I remember Villa imploding under Marin O'Neill, and Everton traditionally failed to play before winter under Moyes. Has anyone been top at Christmas but managed to get relegated?"
"Relegation-haunted Orient's goal difference is currently only -4," tweets garethjm. "Any teams ever gone down with a better goal difference?"

File under Hints that You May be More than a Finite Object: "The experience of radical questioning and man's ability to place himself in question are things which a finite system cannot accomplish."
You see? We are always standing "outside and above the system of empirical, individual and specifiable data." And this is not just one element to be placed aside the others that constitute man, but is again always above them. If I say "you are a bepedal ape" and you say "um hmm," you've just transcended apehood, however tenuously.
Which makes one wonder: why can't leftists see this? The whole enlightenment project of classical liberalism culminated in the notion that we are unique persons, not races, genders, classes, ethnicities, and all those other lucrative accidents of existence.
But no. Progressives want to turn back the world historical clock and devolve to a time when man identified with his contingencies. Which, among other problems, always leads to increased civil strife.
If you wanted to come up with a malign doctrine of unregenerate hatred and resentment, you could hardly do better than multiculturalism and "diversity" (in the diabolical leftist sense of the term, i.e., neo-Marxist materialists of different colors and sexual preferences). Obama and the left might not know much, but they certainly understand the principle of "divide and conquer."
People talk about Obama's failure to "heal" the polarization in the country. Well, doy.
When we say Obama is a wicked man who is unfit for the office he holds, this is what we mean -- that he not only stands by silently while his allies engage in the most slanderous racial and sexual demagoguery, but that he himself instinctively engages in it. Instead of healing it, he fuels it: the police acted stupidly, my son the thug, Trayvon Martin, incompetence is beyond the reach of blacks, etc. If Obama doesn't make you want to vomit, you may be morally retarded.
But more to the point, he participates in and even leads the campaign to render man a shadow of what he actually is and can be. Yes, these mephistofeel-your-painian statists will give you losers lots of stuff. And all they ask in return is your soul. It's that sucking sound you hear at the core of your desiccated being.
Remember, leftism doesn't explain man. Rather, it explains him away. It does this in a multitude of ways, for example, with respect to crime.
In a free society, man is responsible for his acts. I mean, I realized this by the age of six or so. But in the 1960s the left finally had the power to actually implement their crackpot ideas about crime and justice. In this view, people were simply creatures of their environment, lacking the ability to distinguish between good and evil that I, as a six year old, understood.
So, what happened with that experiment? As we all know, crime rates increased exponentially, most especially among the supposed beneficiaries of the new approach, e.g., blacks. Which is my point: if your philosophy regards people as animals, you shouldn't be surprised if they behave like animals.
You can also point to the economic crisis of 2008, which resulted from the state deciding that some people are just too stupid and helpless to develop the traits consistent with homeownership. How'd that work out?
Note also that such an infrahuman animal is no longer in need of redemption from above. Rather, he can get it from some quack psychologist who pardons him because -- well, in the words of West Side Story, because he's depraved on accounta' he's deprived!
"Being a person," writes Rahner, "means self-possession of a subject as such in a conscious free relationship to the totality of itself."
You must understand that this peculiar way of being is the prerequisite of little things like truth, freedom, and virtue. It is the antecedent "space" out of which we all operate, and the point is to expand this subjective horizon, not to shrink or negate it!
Oh peoples, I gots the anointin' this mornin'! Listen to what the almighty is tellin' you in yo' soul! And lord, help me shut my big mouth at tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner with the liberal relatives!
In contrast to the free person, the left offers us this... this bigbrained cosmic freak who is "totally determined from without," even if this is impossible, because a person who believes this nonsense has nevertheless chosen to do so. There is no escape from your freedom and responsibility, leftist assoul!
To say that man is a Person "means first of all that man is someone who cannot be derived, who cannot be produced completely from other elements at our disposal."
Yes, you can say that only God can create such a singular being. Or, if that makes you uncomfortable, just render it in the form of an algebraic equation: only X can produce such a being. But don't pretend you understand the nature of the variable before investigating it. In other words, don't be a jackass.
"When freedom is really understood, it is not the power to be able to do this or that, but the power to decide about oneself and to actualize oneself."
And since the space is infinite, there is no end to the expansion: "The infinite horizon of human questioning is experienced as a horizon which recedes further and further the more answers man can discover."
Elsewhere Rahner writes that "A person is always a Christian in order to be one." But this is because a person is always a person in order to become one.
Conversely, a leftist is always a leftist in order to become less than a person in the full sense of the word. And yes, we mean that literally. Because we are trying to help.
But unlike the left, we only offer the help. It would frankly never occur to us to force it on you, backed by the threat of state violence.
"Good news" presupposes an awful lot about its recipient, doesn't it? The great majority of news is neither good nor bad; or, more to the point, it is relative to the person or group.
For example, good news for a Palestinian would be the murder of every Israeli man, woman, and child. But that would be bad news for the sane, decent, and civilized remnant of the world.
Likewise, the re-election of Obama is good news for parasitic public employee unions, for crony capitalists, for those thousands of soulless petty tyrants who get a thrill out of bossing others around, but bad news for the poor, the unemployed, the maleducated, the recently college educated (but I repeat myself).
So when Christians say their news is objectively and absolutely good, that's saying a lot -- again, not just about the news, but about the recipient.
The word "gospel" -- which means good news -- appears close to a hundred times in the New Testament. A quick etymological check reveals that gospel is a translation from the Greek for evangelize, and both ultimately derive from angelos, or "messenger." Obviously, in this case we're dealing with vertical messages and messengers.
In the spirit of Rahner, let's just call it "news," so as to avoid too many presuppositions. This news, in order to be effective, must be analogous to the key discussed in yesterday's post. When the person hears it, it must be different from hearing other types of more mundane news, say, about the weather, or about those damn Romans and their high taxes.
Rahner asks the question, "What kind of hearer does Christianity anticipate so that its real and ultimate message can even be heard?" And this is indeed "the first question we have to ask," because it reaches all the way past our existence, down to our very being.
Or to put it inversely, if it doesn't so reach, then the message will be no more efficacious than any other so-called news. It certainly won't have the power to transform its hearer.
"When the reality of man is understood correctly, there exists an inescapable circle between his horizons of understanding and what is said, heard and understood." And "ultimately the two" -- what is said and what is heard -- "mutually presuppose each other."
As such, the Christian message assumes it is already somehow "present in the ultimate depths of human existence," again, on pain of only understanding the message superficially or not at all. The message not only "summons man before the real truth of his being," but does so in such a way that the person is "caught" by it. Or, to extend yesterday's analogy, the key fits all the way in, to "the infinite expanse of the incomprehensible mystery of God."
Wo, wo, wo, slow down partner. Didn't you just pull a fast one? First you're talking about a key that opens the door of understanding, but then you tell us that behind the door is an "incomprehensible mystery." How is that supposed to be helpful? Doesn't that mean we're no better off than we were when we started this whole human thing, which is to say, mysteriously engulfed in depthless layers of WTF?!
We'll get there. But let's finish our discussion of just what kind of a being man is. Rahner makes the subtle point that we only really discover what -- or even that -- we are via encounters with who and what we are not.
This reminds me of Bion's wise crack to the effect that the first thought is No Breast. From the infant's standpoint, there is no need for thinking until this unpleasantly novel thing called "hunger" occurs, which gives rise to something along the lines of: What happened to that infinite source of all warmth and goodness that was just here a moment ago!
We all like to think of ourselves as individuals, and we are; but imagine all the things that make individualism possible, which precede our presence and are not us: language, culture, history, and family, for starters.
However, as alluded to in yesterday's post, man is ultimately a (?) to himself, which very much parallels what was said above about the Incomprehensible Mystery behind the big door. It seems that if the key is to fit into our lock, it must reach all the way down to the mystery of ourselves.
Think about the many alternatives to this view. Let's begin with the most ready to hand, since it is so... ready to hand. Actually, most of the alternatives come down to leftism and scientism in their many dreary varieties, but these two may be unified by the principle that they both try to derive man from something else, something less than man.
Which immediately brings to mind a perfect aphorism by Don Colacho: The permanent possibility of initiating causal series is what we call a person.
How we initiate a causal series goes to the whole mystery of man, which in turn converges upon the mystery of God, for we take seriously the statement that where the Spirit of the lord is, there is liberty (2 Co 3:17), and vice versa.
Man's free will is full of implications, for which reason its denial is equally full of implications. As Rahner points out, all of the sciences (and the pseudo-philosophy of leftism, which may be traced to the pseudo-science of Marxian thought) regard man "as a result of and as the point of intersection between realities which on the one hand exist within the realm of empirical experience, but which on the other hand are not man himself, and yet establish and determine him in his reality and hence also explain him."
This in itself isn't problematic, so long as we don't confuse the map with the territory, and suppose that these partial explanations reach down to man's essential being. Such an approach -- and this is where scientism meets the left -- is usually "motivated by the secret desire not only to understand man... but also to control him thereby."
But the truth sets you free, which is why tyranny is always rooted in lies about man. There are political, economic, spiritual, intellectual, and other types of tyranny, but all are unified at their rotten core.
Hey, I think I'm really becoming like Rahner, because I'm not sure this post went anywhere, and now it's time for me to check out!
So man is a (?!) to himself, to which many answers are possible, if not plausible.
Any even modestly deep thinker intuits that there is no possible secular answer to the question, hence the turn to religion for a more plausible or satisfying one.
But in any event, to engage in theology is to "reflect upon the fundamental assertion of Christianity as the answer to the question which man is." In other words, it is a "second pass," so to speak, over the subjective horizon where question and answer fit together in this altogether surprising way.
At least it's surprising to me. As I've mentioned on numerous occasions, I did not come at this whole innerprize from the standpoint of religiosity, but all the way back from blind atheism.
By the age of nine or so I realized that Christianity -- specifically, the version presented to me -- did not address the question I was to myself. Which is what I mean when I say that Bill Maher is every bit as intelligent as a nine year old.
But it took much longer to realize that the various feeble substitutes provided by the culture didn't address the question either. If anything, they just tried to force me to be a different question -- which, when you think about it, is what all forms of secular thought, from leftism to Darwinism, do: you are a race, or a gender, or a class, or a machine, or an animal, etc. Therefore, it was back to the dreaming board.
The deeper the question, the longer you have to hold off on answering it. But a good question generates deep answers, for which reason we need to avoid premature closure vis-a-vis this Ultimate (?).
Also, to paraphrase Schuon, there is far more Light in the good question than a bad answer; and in religious matters, as we shall see, the luminous question is actually composed of the very Light we are seeking -- otherwise, it would never even occur to us to ask it.
We could also say that (?) is a kind of precursor to the grace it evokes, or is even the grace itself. In author words & symbols, our (↑) doesn't just evoke (↓), but in the last analysis, is already the descent of (↓).
The (?) we are to ourselves is not analogous to a scientific or mathematical puzzle. Rather, it is fundamentally a mystery. But the latter is not, on the one hand, a riddle to be solved, nor, on the other, "a statement which is senseless and unintelligible for us."
For which reason our own mysterious question is susceptible "to those Christian mysteries which constitute the basic content of the faith" -- things like Incarnation, Trinity, and Resurrection.
Note that those latter three, if reduced to rationalistic non-mysteries, no longer speak to our own mystery in the same deep way. Myster-O must speak to Myster-I in a deep and intelligible way, and we mustn't confuse intelligibility with mere surface reason; nor should we be expected to simply accept mysteries that have no inner resonance at all. Intelligence has its legitimate rights.
Man is a mystery to himself, but everywhere and everywhen we find him intrinsically oriented to the greater Mystery, to O. This is what motivates everyone, from the scientist, to the philosopher, to the mystic theologian. All are on a quest for answers to the mystery.
For which reason Rahner doesn't begin with Jesus. As mentioned in a previous post, Rahner doesn't get to him until chapter six. Meanwhile, he is examining the keyhole, not the key: "A keyhole forms an a priori law governing what key fits in, but it thereby discloses something about the key itself."
O ho! This explains why a guy can learn a lot by simply keeping the keyhole open and uncorrupted, instead of shoving in any damn key, or even trying to pick the lock (or looking for the key under the streetlamp because that's where the light happens to be).
It seems that it won't be long before keys will become completely obsolete. Instead, we'll just have codes and passwords for everything. A physical key is a password, just as a password is a virtual key. And the purpose of the key is to -- or let us say the key's reason for being -- is tied in with this idea of a semi-permeable membrane between two spaces, for example, the inside and outside of my house or car or bank account.
Man needs boundaries in order to live -- for example, the skin that separates us from the environment. But all human boundaries are simultaneously open and closed. For example, as we go about our day-to-day business with the world, certain boundaries are more "rigid" than they are when we are with our family. Some people hold the keys to our heart in ways others don't.
As alluded to a couple of posts back, it isn't difficult to establish the existence of God -- or better, O. What is a bit more puzzling is why human beings should not only know of O, but be oriented toward this Big Mystery. This itself reveals a great deal about our mysterious keyhole, something which Rahner calls "unthematic knowledge of God."
You might say that this latter is the completely unsaturated knowledge of God that is part of our standard equipment. Later, theology will be superimposed upon, or fill in, or respond to, this unsaturated space. It is similar to our intrinsic "preparedness," so to speak, for justice or to receive beauty. No one would create a specific beautiful object if there weren't an innate receptiveness to beauty in general. And law couldn't exist unless man loves justice.
Likewise theology. No one would waste a moment on it if it weren't a response to the primordial mystery.
Rahner speaks of the "anonymous" God. Since it is anonymous, we'll just have to call it O, on pain of descending into either mythology or rationalism or yelvertone deafness, which amount to the same thing.
In any event, "the original idea of God is not the kind of knowledge in which one grasps an object which happens to present itself directly or indirectly from the outside." Rather, it has "the character of transcendental experience" as such.
This is a subtle point, but an important, well, key to the whole. But it's so familiar, that most people seem to miss its significance -- as if any other animal -- or mere animal -- is oriented to the Mystery of All. No, this is only possible for a mirror animal.
As Rahner explains, this built-in transcendental experience -- or experience of the transcendent -- "is always present unthematically and without name." It is present in the "non-objective luminosity of the subject in its transcendence" toward the hOly Mystery.
So, once we're aware of this transcendental keyhole, then we can start talking about the type of key that might fit.
In the contemporary world this whole issue -- as with most everything else -- has become completely inverted. By which I mean that man has convinced himself that he may start his self-understanding with various kinds of knowledge that aren't really knowledge at all, not when you trace them all the way down.
Rather, the one thing we can know and must know is that this stuff we call "knowledge" is but "a small island in a vast sea that has not been traveled. It is a floating island, and it might be more familiar to us than the sea, but ultimately it is borne by the sea and only because it is can we be borne by it." Again?
Yes. So the questions become: which do we love more, "the small island of... so-called knowledge or the sea of infinite mystery?" And "is the little light with which [we illuminate] the island -- we call it science and scholarship -- to be an eternal light which will shine forever for [us]?"
"That would surely be hell."

Benoit Paire of France upset fellow countryman Gilles Simon to reach the ATP Montpellier 2013 semi-finals, winning 7-5 7-6 (4).
Despite Simon getting off to a better start and taking a 4-3 lead in the first set with a break to his good, he wasn't able to maintain control of the set. Not only did he drop his serve in the very next game, but Paire managed to break him once more in the 12th game to take a lead in the match.
Paire seemed to be in charge of the second set as he stormed to a 5-2 lead just before Simon fought his way back, forcing a 'breaker'. However, the no.4 seed Simon's struggles continued and with a 7-4 score, Paire advanced to the Saturday's semis, where he will meet another Frenchman, Michael Llodra.
Llodra played a superb second round match against the Serb Tipsarevic and managed to continue in his great run at this year's tournament with a 7-6 (3) 6-1 win over Jan Hajek of Czech Republic.
The Frenchman's serving (11 aces) and volleying made the difference once again in today's match, just like against Tipsarevic.

The Düsseldorf Memorial and Education Centre, dedicated to all victims of Nazi persecution in Düsseldorf, was established in 1987. It is not only the city's lead institution for research, documentation and education on all matters pertaining to the local history of National Socialism but also become a centre of commemoration and dialogue between the generations.
The Düsseldorf Memorial and Education Centre is situated in the west wing of the listed building complex known as "Stadthaus". It was here that from 1933 to 1945 the police, the Gestapo, municipal authoritities, the SS and German army administrative offices were located.
After fundamental rebuilding and extension work, the Düsseldorf Memorial and Education Centre re-opened in May 2015 with its new permanent exhibition "Growing up in Nazi Düsseldorf". Young people's experiences and their way of life are at the heart of this exhibition. Dating from the years 1933 to 1945, the life stories featured here tell of courage and hope, fear and despair, conformism and violence, belief and betrayal. But the common theme is the range of options open to the young - even during the Nazi dictatorship - and their responses.
As an interactive forum for political education and commemoration, the Centre offers a wide range of additional lectures, exhibitions, educational activities and commemoration events. Furthermore, visitors have access to the Centre's extensive reference library and a rich selection of historical documents presented in the Open Archive. The Centre provides an audioguide in English for international guests. For guided tours in English, please call 0211 8996205 and book an appointment.

Rachel Domm's Window Diary is a series of 365 drawings of windows for every day of 2014. Throughout the year, the artist drew the view from the window of her apartment in Brooklyn and from her numerous travels — from Sweden to Miami to Cameroon to The Åland Islands to India. In all, there are 15 different cities from 4 different continents chronicled in the book, making it a travel journal as well. It records the change in season from snowy days in January to rainy days in April and hot days in August. While the scenes are objective, the view is personal and contemplative, even though it looks outside instead of inside.
Enjoy the art and literary work created by the talented associates of American Greetings.
American Greetings 36th Fine Arts Show is a juried exhibition featuring the personal works of American Greetings artists and writers.
An annual Cleveland tradition, this show is a testament to the artistic and literary talent of one of the largest and most prolific creative studios in the world, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio.
Works on view through April 18 – May 3, 2015.
Yeah, No, I Mean It: Time, Situation, Dexterity is a three-day performance art symposium hosted at Charlotte Street's la Esquina Gallery on the evenings of April 16th, 17th, and 18th from 7-9pm. Each night, local performance artists will generate live work within the gallery, alongside nationally recognized visiting performance artists. These performances will range in aesthetics, concepts, and duration: from the highly visual and loud, to the quiet and contemplative. This symposium is designed to highlight and expand the local and national conversation about contemporary performance art practice, through three days of making and discussing the local and national ecology of emerging performance art. Yeah, No, I Mean It: Time, Situation, Dexterity is curated by Kansas City-based artist Jessica Borusky.
The exhibition includes nearly 100 prints and related ephemera, which Conner produced throughout his 60-year career. Characterized by experimentation and a healthy dose of subversion, Conner's work with prints demonstrates his obsession with fully exploring and pushing the limits of an idea.
And the beat goes on… will be a conversation among today's Bay Area artists who, continuing in the vein of Conner's unconventional ideas, are taking a creative approach to printmaking. This new generation of artists incorporates printing and printmaking techniques in unexpected ways both conceptually and formally.

Karl Georg Christian von Staudt (24 January 1798 – 1 June 1867) was a German mathematician who used synthetic geometry to provide a foundation for arithmetic.
1 Life and influence
2 Algebra of throws
Life and influence[edit]
Karl was born in the Free Imperial City of Rothenburg, which is now called Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany. From 1814 he studied in Gymnasium in Ausbach. He attended the University of Göttingen from 1818 to 1822 where he studied with Gauss who was director of the observatory. Staudt provided an ephemeris for the orbits of Mars and the asteroid Pallas. When in 1821 Comet Nicollet-Pons was observed, he provided the elements of its orbit. These accomplishments in astronomy earned him his doctorate from University of Erlangen in 1822.
Staudt's professional career began as a secondary school instructor in Würzburg until 1827 and then Nuremberg until 1835. He married Jeanette Dreschler in 1832. They had a son Eduard and daughter Mathilda, but Jeanette died in 1848.
The book Geometrie der Lage (1847) was a landmark in projective geometry. As Burau (1976) wrote:
Staudt was the first to adopt a fully rigorous approach. Without exception his predecessors still spoke of distances, perpendiculars, angles and other entities that play no role in projective geometry.[1]
Furthermore, this book (page 43) uses the complete quadrangle to "construct the fourth harmonic associated with three points on a straight line", the projective harmonic conjugate.
Indeed, in 1889 Mario Pieri translated von Staudt, before writing his I Principii della Geometrie di Posizione Composti in un Systema Logico-deduttivo (1898). In 1900 Charlotte Scott of Bryn Mawr College paraphrased much of von Staudt's work in English for The Mathematical Gazette.[2] When Wilhelm Blaschke published his textbook Projective Geometry in 1948, a portrait of the young Karl was placed opposite the Vorwort.
Staudt went beyond real projective geometry and into complex projective space in his three volumes of Beiträge zur Geometrie der Lage published from 1856 to 1860.
In 1922 H. F. Baker wrote of von Staudt's work:
It was von Staudt to whom the elimination of the ideas of distance and congruence was a conscious aim, if, also, the recognition of the importance of this might have been much delayed save for the work of Cayley and Klein upon the projective theory of distance. Generalised, and combined with the subsequent Dissertation of Riemann, v. Staudt's volumes must be held to be the foundation of what, on its geometrical side, the Theory of Relativity, in Physics, may yet become.[3]
Von Staudt is also remembered for his view of conic sections and the relation of pole and polar:
Von Staudt made the important discovery that the relation which a conic establishes between poles and polars is really more fundamental than the conic itself, and can be set up independently. This "polarity" can then be used to define the conic, in a manner that is perfectly symmetrical and immediately self-dual: a conic is simply the locus of points which lie on their polars, or the envelope of lines which pass through their poles. Von Staudt's treatment of quadrics is analogous, in three dimensions.[4]
Algebra of throws[edit]
In 1857, in the second Beiträge, von Staudt contributed a route to number through geometry called the algebra of throws (German: Wurftheorie). It is based on projective range and the relation of projective harmonic conjugates. Through operations of addition of points and multiplication of points, one obtains an "algebra of points", as in chapter 6 of Veblen & Young's textbook on projective geometry. The usual presentation relies on cross ratio (CA,BD) of four collinear points. For instance, Coolidge wrote:[5]
How do we add two distances together? We give them the same starting point, find the point midway between their terminal points, that is to say, the harmonic conjugate of infinity with regard to their terminal points, and then find the harmonic conjugate of the initial point with regard to this mid-point and infinity. Generalizing this, if we wish to add throws (CA,BD) and (CA,BD' ), we find M the harmonic conjugate of C with regard to D and D' , and then S the harmonic conjugate of A with regard to C and M :
( C A , B D ) + ( C A , B D ′ ) = ( C A , B S ) . {\displaystyle (CA,BD)+(CA,BD')=(CA,BS).\ }
In the same way we may find a definition of the product of two throws. As the product of two numbers bears the same ratio to one of them as the other bears to unity, the ratio of two numbers is the cross ratio which they as a pair bear to infinity and zero, so Von Staudt, in the previous notation, defines the product of two throws by
( C A , B D ) ⋅ ( C A , D D ′ ) = ( C A , B D ′ ) . {\displaystyle (CA,BD)\cdot (CA,DD')=(CA,BD').}
These definitions involve a long series of steps to show that the algebra so defined obeys the usual commutative, associative, and distributive laws, and that there are no divisors of zero.
A summary statement is given by Veblen & Young[6] as Theorem 10: "The set of points on a line, with P ∞ {\displaystyle P_{\infty }} removed, forms a field with respect to the operations previously defined". As Freudenthal notes[7]:199
...up to Hilbert, there is no other example for such a direct derivation of the algebraic laws from geometric axioms as found in von Staudt's Beiträge.
Another affirmation of von Staudt's work with the harmonic conjugates comes in the form of a theorem:
The only one-to-one correspondence between the real points on a line which preserves the harmonic relation between four points is a non-singular projectivity.[8]
The algebra of throws was described as "projective arithmetic" in The Four Pillars of Geometry (2005).[9] In a section called "Projective arithmetic", he says
The real difficulty is that the construction of a + b , for example, is different from the construction of b + a, so it is a "coincidence" if a + b = b + a. Similarly it is a "coincidence" if ab = ba, of any other law of algebra holds. Fortunately, we can show that the required coincidences actually occur, because they are implied by certain geometric coincidences, namely the Pappus and Desargues theorems.
If one interprets von Staudt's work as a construction of the real numbers, then it is incomplete. One of the required properties is that a bounded sequence has a cluster point. As Hans Freudenthal observed:
To be able to consider von Staudt's approach as a rigorous foundation of projective geometry, one need only add explicitly the topological axioms which are tacitly used by von Staudt. ... how can one formulate the topology of projective space without the support of a metric? Von Staudt was still far from raising this question, which a quarter of a century later would become urgent. ... Felix Klein noticed the gap in von Staudt's approach; he was aware of the need to formulate the topology of projective space independently of Euclidean space.... the Italians were the first to find truly satisfactory solutions for the problem of a purely projective foundation of projective geometry, which von Staudt had tried to solve.[7]
One of the Italian mathematicians was Giovanni Vailati who studied the circular order property of the real projective line. The science of this order requires a quaternary relation called the separation relation. Using this relation, the concepts of monotone sequence and limit can be addressed, in a cyclic "line". Assuming that every monotone sequence has a limit,[10] the line becomes a complete space. These developments were inspired by von Staudt's deductions of field axioms as an initiative in the derivation of properties of ℝ from axioms in projective geometry.

In this video, Jorge Diaz from Larry Jacob Internet marketing shows us how Memberium's Umbrella Accounts feature works and demonstrates how anyone can use it with their Memberium site.
Umbrella Accounts allow you to sell memberships to small groups, teams or corporations. The way this works is when a new member joins, they can add a certain number of people under them to get access to the membership program or online course they just joined.
Jorge shares a few key lessons he had learned along the way from setting up these sites for his clients and shares some important things to consider if you're thinking about using Memberium's Umbrella Accounts feature.
Throughout this video, Jorge helps demystify how Umbrella Accounts really work. In the simplest way you can use it, it's pretty easy to set up for any membership site.
At the same time, it's also very powerful with everything that you can potentially do with it. And there's a lot you can potentially do with Infusionsoft to automate everything.
In this walkthrough, Jorge helps show us what options are available and shows us how everything works in an easy to understand way. You'll also get a peek under the hood at some of the Infusionsoft campaigns he uses to manage these sites and see how they work.
The Umbrella Accounts feature is only available for all Memberium "Pro" or "Advanced" users. If you're interested in upgrading your standard Memberium license so you can start using Umbrella Accounts, please reach out to support and they'll be able to help you upgrade your license automatically for you.
If you're interested in possibly working with Jorge and Larry Jacob Internet Marketing, he'd be happy to talk with you over the phone about anything you're looking for.


I've been working on the next KeeperRL update at full steam for the past few weeks. The changes have all been oriented around gameplay and not very hard in terms of programming, so they were great fun to work on. I'm happy to say that the development of the game has recently transitioned more into adding smaller features, polish and content, as opposed to revolutionary changes.
Constructing arbitrary water or lava channels is an important tool in the hands of a Keeper, so it had to find its way into the game sooner or later. An important issue to solve was how enemy AI should deal with players who completely surround themselves with a moat. As you may recall, I faced a similar problem when allowing to freely fill up tunnels, and the solution was teaching AI to dig into sealed-off dungeons. A similar strategy will be used to breach moats: enemies will simply build bridges over them. Everyone knows that dwarves carry spare wood planks on their backs in case they encounter unexpected bodies of water in their way.
Portals are great dungeon feature that allows instant travel between distant locations. Up until now they could only be used when manually controlling a creature, because KeeperRL's finely optimized path-finding algorithms didn't play nicely with such abuses of the laws of physics. However, I was able to find a reasonable compromise between speed and the use of portals, so now all your minions (and enemies!) will include them when calculating their shortest paths around the dungeon. Even complicated arrangements will work! Also as you can see, connected portal pairs will be color-coded.
At the urge of the most dedicated KeeperRL fan, SoftMonster, I added the ability to craft so called "ego items", which are items with special effects, like a flaming sword or a helm of telepathy. To craft them you'll need a minion with crafting skills above 90% and with high morale, which will drop after the act of creation. With these changes I also modified the underlying architecture to make it much easier to add new item and effect combinations, so your minions will get a lot of new shiny toys!
Having new special items, I decided to make minions a bit more special, too. Every new immigrant will have a small chance to possess one or more special traits, not necessarily positive. So now and then you'll attract a goblin with an unusually high crafting skill (necessary for ego items, btw), an orc with night vision or a harpy that's straight insane (watch out for her). A lot of interesting traits are in development, and I hope they'll add a nice twist to the immigration system. It's possible that special traits will come with special requirements, too.
This is a nice quality-of-life improvement when controlling teams. Outside of full-control mode, team members have always had a mind of their own, chasing unimportant enemies or blindly charging at a dragon while you are trying to get your whole team to retreat. Switching to full-control to get them to do what you needed was a very tedious option. The "stand ground" order forces the whole team to stay in place even if the leader moves away, and "ignore enemies" stops them from chasing anyone (they will still attack adjacent creatures). The first one is great when you create a formation that you don't want your minions to break, and the second one is best used when retreating or when you don't want your minions to get distracted while traveling.

FINRA Investor Alert
Closed-End Fund Distributions: Where is the Money Coming From?
You may have considered investing in a closed-end fund as a way to generate income when other investments did not seem to offer what you may have been looking for. Closed-end funds have become popular products because some offer high distribution rates-as high as 6 percent or more. But be aware that a fund's distribution rate is not the same thing as its return-even if the numbers might look similar. And before you invest, be sure you understand where the closed-end fund is getting the money to pay distributions. In some cases, part of the distribution comes from the return of principal.
FINRA issued an alert to explain what closed-end funds are, how they differ from traditional mutual funds, what a distribution rate is and what to ask before investing.
Closed-End Funds Basics
A closed-end fund is a type of investment company that pools money from investors to buy securities. Closed-end funds are similar to mutual funds in that they professionally manage portfolios of stocks, bonds or other investments (including illiquid securities). Unlike mutual funds, which continuously sell newly issued shares and redeem outstanding shares, most closed-end funds offer a fixed number of shares in an initial public offering (IPO) that are then traded on an exchange.
When you buy shares in a closed-end fund IPO, you'll pay a premium because the fees and expenses paid for the offering come from the capital raised. In other words, if you pay $10 for a share, the actual amount invested for you will be less than $10. After a closed-end fund goes public, you can buy shares in the secondary market on an exchange, such as the NYSE or NASDAQ, paying the fees that your broker charges for this type of transaction.
Because closed-end funds trade like stocks, the supply and demand for the shares determines their market price. Both closed-end funds and mutual funds have an inherent net asset value (NAV) that reflects the value of the funds' underlying assets (less liabilities) divided by the number of shares outstanding. Closed-end funds also have a market price that fluctuates throughout the trading day, and that price may be higher or lower than its NAV. You may get information on a closed-end fund's current price and NAV on the fund's website or that of the exchange where it trades. Information on a fund's portfolio holdings is usually available on the fund's website and company filings submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Closed-end funds have historically traded at a discount to NAV-that is, at a market price lower than the fund's NAV. Some closed-end funds, however, may trade at a premium to NAV-that is, at a market price higher than the fund's NAV. One reason may be that investors looking for a high distribution rate may be willing to pay that higher market price to get the distributions. In contrast, shares of a mutual fund are always priced based on the NAV, which is set daily at the close of trading.
Closed-end funds and mutual funds share some other features. For instance, both closed-end funds and mutual funds charge investors annual fees and expenses. Both fund types might use leverage to enhance their returns, which can magnify a fund's gains as well as its losses. But while closed-end funds and mutual funds can invest in illiquid securities, closed-end funds are not impacted by redemptions as mutual funds are and they are allowed to hold a greater percentage of illiquid securities in their investment portfolios.
Distribution Rates: Understand Where the Money Comes From
Closed-end funds typically pay distributions to investors on a monthly or quarterly basis, and may increase or decrease the distribution rate from one distribution period to the next. Depending on a closed-end fund's underlying holdings, its distributions can include interest income, dividends, capital gains or a combination of these types of payments. In some cases, distributions also include a return of principal, sometimes referred to as a return of capital. That means the monies used to pay the distribution come from the fund's assets rather than from any income generated by the investments in the fund's portfolio.
Closed-end funds that return capital can carry a higher level of risk because the fund is eroding the asset base it has to generate income to pay distributions. Some closed-end funds set a specific distribution rate to pay regardless of the income generated by the fund. In that case, it is more likely that a fund may return capital to investors along the way. Before you invest in a fund, find out if the closed-end fund follows this approach-also known as a managed distribution policy.
Distribution Rate, Total Return or Yield: What is the Difference?
Take care not to confuse a closed-end fund's distribution rate with the fund's total return. In general, a distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent amount paid to investors and dividing the resulting amount by either the market price or the fund's NAV. The total return from a closed-end fund will take into account the change in share price from a specific point in time and the income the fund paid. Total return figures for closed-end funds usually assume all distributions were reinvested in the fund.
When looking at closed-end funds and traditional mutual funds, keep in mind that distribution rates and yields are different measures. A mutual fund's yield shows its interest and dividend income expressed as a percentage of the fund's current share price. With a closed-end fund, the distribution rate might also include a return of principal.
You can get information about a closed-end fund's distribution rate from the fund's website, its annual report and company announcements. Every time a fund pays a distribution, it must also provide a written statement about the sources it is tapping to pay the distribution. In addition, closed-end funds notify investors of the sources once a year in IRS Form 1099-DIV. You need to pay attention to the sources and amounts reported because a return of capital has different tax consequences than a distribution of interest income, dividends or capital gains.

It looks like all the jigs are built in quadrants so you can bolt together any number for the task at hand.
yes and that is per plans - i made mine 1.5 inches bigger to accommodate the t system and changed to bolt together method to one i use allot.
i was expecting a comment from you, but not on that part of my post.
it is easy to make a 3 inch, 8 foot piece of parallel plywood 3 inches wide on a table saw.
the secrete is in the "T"
Thanks for bringing this thread back up. I've learned quite a bit here!
well, mine were the total length of the wing alignment jigs plus an overhang of about 3 inches per side.
for me extending the tees was a simple matter in my fully equiped woodworking shop, for most not so easy.
