Q: Rails multiple associations in one result set I have a Video model which has_many :comments and has_many :reviews.
I'd like to build a an API which allows for returning both association types intermixed and ordered by creation time.
In other words, is there a way (without it being inefficient or hacky) I could call video.feedback and get back a mixed list of comments and reviews?
I'd also like the video controllers' index action to return a list of videos each with thier own top three most recent feedbacks (could be comments, could be reviews, could be a mixture of both all depending on when they were created)

A: You can make a method in your model that concatenates the two associations and then sorts them. For example:
def feedback
  results = (comments + reviews).sort_by{ |e| e.created_at }
end

If you have a lot of records and want to speed up the process a little bit, you can easily limit the number of results that are returned. Note that you need to order each association independently first, then merge, then sort again.
def feedback max
  # We need to get `max` entries from each to ensure that we will have
  # enough entries in the final result.
  results = comments.order(:created_at).limit(max) + reviews.order(:created_at).limit(max)

  # Then, we only return the first `max` entries of the result, since there
  # will be `2*max` entries in `results`.
  results.sort_by{ |e| e.created_at }.first(max)
end

This leads into the second part of your question.

If you just want the most recent feedback available in the view, then you don't actually need to change your controller action. Instead, you can just access them in the view directly.
Assuming you keep the list of videos in the variable @videos, this could look like (omitting any ERB/Haml you may be using):
@videos.each do |video|
  video.feedback(3).each do |fb|
    # do whatever with each feedback item here
  end
end

If you need to differentiate between the types of feedback, you can use a case...when block:
case fb
when Comment
  # The feedback is a comment
when Review
  # The feedback is a review
end


! This is NOT a method of direct communication with PETAL PUSHERS for purposes of ordering or rectifying problems.
The flowers looked even better than the picture, and the picture was beautiful. Great service, beautiful arrangement.
I have order flowers from different florists over the years, and some have been extremely disappointing. The arrangement delivered was fresh and looked better than the picture. It was absolutely beautiful and I want to thank you for your wonderful artistry. You are number one for my local orders.
The recipient of the flowers loved them.
Great selection. Flowers delivered on time and were as described. Very pleased with the service.
Fantastic service. Loved how you sent a notice once flowers were delivered so we didn't have to wonder. Will def use you again! Thank you so much.
We are so happy that we used Petal Pushers for our wedding! Corinne went above and beyond what we asked for,; everything was so fresh and gorgeous, and we can't say enough how happy we are with the way they turned out. Thank you SO much, Corinne!!
The Flowers & gifts were Perfectly Perfect!! More than I had expected. You Peeps did an Over The Top work. Thank you & Look forward to using you again in the Future.
As usual the order was processed accurately, delivery was done on time in spite of me changing the address and most importantly the flowers were beautiful. Thank you.
Petal Pushers of Keswick. The arrangement they made for my nephew, blew us away, with a figure of a wolf , incorporated into a wood theme was beyond. Our Nephew loved wolves, and nature. The caring service is excellent, it is hard to explain over the phone but absolutely right to the tee.
All of these articles have saved me a lot of hdeaaches.
very good feedback from the recipient!! thank you for making it so nice!
I ordered the flowers online,they were for my aunt's 65 birthday.Delivery was ontime and my aunt was thrilled with her roses, and said that the fragrace from them filled her living room.The roses arrangement looked stunning from the picture she sent me.Thank you.
it was very simple ordering online, I usually call and place my order, thought I'd try differently. The person who I sent them too was very happy, they said it was beautiful. My experience always is great with you. Thank you for the wonderful job you do and being the best flower shop in town!
The flower arrangement did not look like what I expected at all and I was quite disappointed, as I had picked the bright colours to lift someone's mood. However, when we complained, the replacement bouquet was far superior and quickly delivered without any questions.
The flowers and vase are lovely.
My friend was thrilled with the arrangment. It has been over 2 weeks and most of the flowers are still alive. I would absolutely recommend your shop.
They were a very nice arrangement. My co-workers and I were greatful, for the lovely flowers.
Thank you for the beautiful flowers you arranged for us for Chris's funeral. They were so beautiful. I always feel that people take the time to complain and rarely offer praise, and I wanted to say a special 'thank you' for such a positive experience. Mike, Jane, Marianne and Sean, and Steve and Nadia.

Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
Definitely keeping in the spooky spirit of this issue of MSJ, I turn my evil eye now to Norway's Dimmu Borgir. Along with England's Cradle of Filth and fellow Norwegians Emperor, these guys are the reigning kings of modern black metal, unleashing twisted, torturous tracks full of blazing speed, harsh vocals and eerie symphonic touches.
Dimmu Borgir - Live at Ozzfest, 2004, Alpine Valley, WI
Pardon the pun, but Dimmu Borgir were always one of the "black sheep" at this year's Ozzfest. Despite some strong inroads made in the last couple of years, symphonic black metal from Norway is still off the radar for many U.S. metal fans, particularly the bare-chested, chin-bearded toughs who dig Black Label Society, Superjoint Ritual or Hatebreed.
Interview with Silenoz of Dimmu Borgir from 2004

Being married to someone you met in adulthood inevitably results in funny conversations. What may have seemed completely reasonable to one spouse can strike the other as anything ranging from quirky to downright batshit crazy. Maybe your husband grew up in a different culture or religion, or maybe your wife was raised in a different country. Maybe your parents didn't use dryer sheets. Maybe his parents were all about margarine. These things come up when you bring two people together and start a new family.
With my husband and I, typically some story from his youth strikes me as quirky, whereas my strolls down memory lane leave him bug-eyed and yes, declaring, wow, that is batshit crazy.
You'd hardly know from looking at me today, all put together and fabulous, that I had an….unconventional start. (Yes, I am being sarcastic. I am not put together and fabulous, although one of these days, I tell you, I'll show the WORLD! just not today) Actually, sarcasm aside, we are about as normal as one gets anymore. Extended family who enjoy one another's company, get together for holidays, that sort of boredom, as we do. So I understand my sweet hubs' reactions.
And it's not as though I tricked him into marrying me, thinking I was one thing (normal) when in actuality I was quite another. (trainwreck) It's just that, when your experiences are your experiences, you tend to just think of them as what happened, not as an outsider might.
Which is how we landed on this conversation the other night, sparked by the craziness of the VanillaISIS situation in Oregon.
husband: These people are nuts! Like tinfoil hat crazy!
me: Yeah. They remind me of this family I knew, though. I wonder if they ever got social security numbers.
husband: (blink blink) Pardon me?
me: Social Security numbers. Their parents didn't let them have them because they didn't want the government to know they existed. They lived not too far from you growing up, actually. Although probably you wouldn't have known them. They didn't go to school, obviously. But I remember them talking about eating squirrels they killed on their land and how they would totally survive anything. They wore a lot of camo, come to think of it. Weird. I wonder how they got a phone at their house? I remember they didn't believe in borrowing money. Actually, how'd they have a house? I never thought about this stuff when I was a kid.
me: (nervous laughter) You didn't know anyone like that, eh?
me: Right. I've done it again. Carry on.
So yes. When I was around 15 or so, I met a few, shall we say, unique folks. And my parents, being of the more free-range variety, and trusting that I was up to only good, never really worried about me. And I, being of the sheltered variety, didn't realize just how whacked these friends were. To be fair, this was pre-google.
Some days, I think, I should write more of this down. Other days, I think no one would believe me. But suffice it to say, I have learned little by little that no, most people weren't buds with anti-government conspiracists.
Then again, SOMEONE wrote Ron Swanson.
My mother died a few weeks before my third birthday. When my dad passed away from smoking-related cancer, I was a few weeks shy of my 23rd birthday.
Twenty years provides a significant perspective.
For starters, I barely remember my mother: I have a sum total of two memories of her, in fact. My dad, on the other hand, while he didn't raise me, occupies a much broader space in my memory. A couple of months ago, I wrote about my dad giving me away. The story was met with an overwhelming amount of support for which I was grateful. It was a story about what it was like for me, a child at the time, which led me to think about the fact that all of us parents were at one time children. Our own children obviously didn't know us then, but the truth remains that a lifetime existed before we became mom and dad in the story.
I distinctly remember thinking how long ago and far away the childhoods of my parents were from my own. The stories they told were imagined in black and white in my mind to further support the nostalgia of it all. There were world wars and poodle skirts and scary nuns all rolled up into some ancient tale of yore. It might as well have been a hundred years instead of thirty. When I look at my children and realize this is how the 1980s must seem to them, it is impossible to comprehend, considering it feels like last year to me some days. Which is how my parents must have felt about an Eisenhower presidency. Strange.
Today marks seventeen years since my dad died, and instead of remembering his as my dad, I wanted to share a little from that first of his lifetimes – before marriage and children and all that I knew of him firsthand.
Aloysius Joseph Morson was born in 1938 to Mary Agnes in her home. She was 38 years old, considered well past childbearing norms for the day. Although he was her third son, she had previously been unable to pass on my Pop-Pop's name, as he wouldn't allow it. But Pop-Pop was a trucker and not present when my dad was born, so Grandmom finally got her wish.
My dad had a couple of nicknames when he was little, the cutest of which was Brownie, for his super dark brown eyes. This one stuck with him into adulthood, then shortened to Brown. He was Uncle Brown to his many nieces and nephews.
As a little boy, my dad got himself into a bit of trouble both at home and at school. You can even see the impishness in his eyes in all of the photos. I have no doubt his charm saved him from half of the punishment, which is typical of youngest children as well. My dad was very smart, but school wasn't for him. I'm certain the nuns and priests who taught him had their work cut out for them, including then-Father, later Cardinal O'Connor, who drove my dad to school. They were all probably relieved to not be parents after having such a student in their classes.
As a child, my dad loved animals. He had a pet chicken called Cluck-Cluck that lived in the backyard. At least he thought he had a pet chicken. Cluck-Cluck was destined for the dinner table, a fact that led my dad to steer clear from poultry from that meal on. There were always dogs and cats for pets, however, and they seemed to gravitate towards my dad.
My dad and his brother, the father who raised me, were best of friends. they were only a year and a half apart, and a full decade behind the next sibling up, so their adventures were often combined. Unlike my dad, however, his brother was much more responsible. I like to imagine they balanced each other out: one keeping the other out of far greater danger, the other helping to keep things fun and interesting. Double-date stories are some of my most favorite of the pair. My dad enjoyed telling on his sainted brother, including one particularly ridiculous moment when they showed up for a blind date with a pair of nurses. As the legend went, the father who raised me took one look at his intended date who was less than attractive, and had jumped a fence and run off before my dad knew what had happened. My dad laughed until he cried while recreating the cries of, "I've got to gooooo" as his brother escaped off into the distance.
My dad was a thoughtful dreamer, for sure, and he wrote my mother little cheesy love poems. They were as heartfelt as they were terrible. I have to admit, it took a lot of guts, considering the talented writer my mother was. He definitely lived to make her happy. And as cheesy as it sounds for me to say, I hope the two of them are together again, living out the life they never had time for before she died, leaving him heartbroken after four short years.
I miss my dad everyday. I wish he could have met my babies and been their Grandpa. But today I remember all the silly stories of his boyhood. And when I look at my son, who carries my dad's name in his own, I will practice an extra dose of patience for the little charmer with the twinkle in his eye.
Being pregnant is not my idea of a good time. But being hooked up to an IV and completely unable to function affects more than just me. Which is why, when I learned that I was pregnant with baby #3 when the first two were only four and two years old, I was a bit panic-stricken about telling my parents as well as my husband.
The whole experience was tragically comic from start to finish. First, after several home negative home tests, I figured I was just having some weird health issues or something. My doctor thought the same after a negative test there, and so she ordered a blood test to check a bunch of levels including my thyroid.
Which is how it came to be that I learned about my pregnancy via email.
I was sitting in the basement of the townhouse we had purchased less than a month prior, watching the littles play with their duplos and dolls, when I got an email from my doctor stating, "serum positive for HCG." I spun around in the swivel chair, realized that the littles weren't a good sounding board for this shocking information, and tried to calm my heart rate while counting down the seconds until I could rush up and grab a phone.
I called my sister and told her first. I asked if she wouldn't be the one to break the news to my parents, because I just didn't have it in me, knowing they would have to take over parenting for several weeks. We agreed on a plan of attack, and then discussed just how on earth I would tell my husband.
Lest anyone get the impression that we're horrible people, I love my babies. So does my husband. My entire family is very "Yay babies!" in fact, but it's impossible to ignore that having babies means a LOT of work from a lot of people.
I knew that I would eventually be excited about this baby, and that if my husband reacted poorly to the news, I would have a hard time recovering. I also knew that wasn't exactly fair, considering I had plenty of time to get out all of my "holycowwhatthehellarewegoingtodo" crazy out of my system before he would get home from work, and decided he deserved the same opportunity to work it all out. Besides, as soon as he walked through the door, I would be on my way out to work myself.
So I decided I would write him a note. I waited until naptime, then sat down to compose the "yep, I'm pregnant," notecard to my husband. My hand was shaking a bit, but I managed to get out the basic idea that we were having a baby, we'd work it out, and everything would be okay.
As I left for work that night, I handed the sealed envelope to him, saying, "read this after the kids are asleep." Which he didn't. But I guess as soon as I handed it to him, he figured what it was about. We're pretty in tune like that.
So by the time I got home that night, my husband had gone through all of the necessary freak outs and we were able to have a few moments of happiness and excitement before getting down to the technical matters. When you have HG like I do, you only get a short window of time before it all hits the fan. And the crazy did not disappoint.
Of course, I wouldn't change a thing, and we all can't imagine a world without our muffins, and someday I will show her the note I left for her dad, announcing her existence.
Although I did mention to my doctor that email might not be the best way to tell a woman she's having a baby.
I used to joke that the reason I was immune to most peer pressure is that I knew somehow, some way, no matter how inconceivable, if I dared to stray from the straight and narrow, my mother would find out. Yes, my own disposition lent itself to good behavior, but were I ever tempted to rebel in the slightest, I had years' worth of experience to know that woman was some kind of freaking sorceress when it came to her children and their missteps.
But there was this one time, this one, magnificent occasion, where I got away with something.
When we were younger, my parents would host parties from time to time for my father's colleagues. As these were for grown ups only, my dad would carry the only household television into the den, tinker with the rabbit ears until we got a decent picture, and stuff us full of popcorn. We'd watch whatever movie was available on public television and then head off to bed.
the wonders of technology – look at those dials!
On one of these occasions, we were happily plunked on the floor, probably watching Wizard of Oz, when the picture started to go wonky. We weren't to disturb our parents, and since I didn't have the patience required to wait until one of their periodic check-ins, I decided that I would rise to the occasion and adjust the antennae myself.
As was usually the case, the twins attempted to talk me out of my stupidity, to no avail. I was seven years old, darnit, and I could save us all. I'd seen the grown ups do this a hundred times, how hard could it be?
Being a short kid, I had a time of it attempting to even reach the long, metal pieces, so I focused my attentions on the lowest bits which stuck out of the back. I kept at it for a while, relying on my sidekicks to let me know if I was on the right track. And just as I had nearly finished saving the evening, I heard and felt a dull snap.
Complete and utter panic ensued. In my zeal, my weak little hands had broken the plastic piece which attached the antennae to the television. My heart beat fast, my hands shaking and clammy, I wonder how I didn't pass out at that moment. We started to brainstorm plausible explanations, but came up empty. My only option was to prop it up like nothing happened and hope no one noticed.
Not much long after, my parents sent us off to bed. I can remember lying there, wondering when the hammer would fall. Would it be at breakfast? Perhaps I would be woken up in the morning and interrogated? Would all three of us manage to keep the secret?
But something so completely and utterly bizarre happened that next day. I came down the stairs, walking as slow as possible, dreading the fate I would meet, and there in the living room was the television, bunny ears extended toward the sky. Was this a trap? Or had I dreamed the whole tragic mess? No, I didn't think so. But why weren't my parents interrogating us? No sense was to be made.
Hours gave way to days, and eventually my heartbeat returned to a healthy rhythm. And every once in a while, I would catch a glimpse of the duct tape holding the antennae on and wonder how it is that I got away with breaking it.
Finally, one afternoon after we had moved overseas and back again, I heard my parents talking as they were setting up our furniture. It was then that I had beer to thank for my fortuitous escape from punishment. It turns out that my father had one too many and decided to move the television out of the den that night before going to bed and regaining sobriety. He was operating under the delusion that HE had broken the bunny ears clean off the television!
Oh thank you, glorious, glorious beer.


I don't think anyone ever had more fun upstairs than they did on this night with the live House band Tortured Soul in from New York. Paul DeMatteo played downstairs, but it was more of a spillover spot. The upstairs was bumpin all night long, and DJ Ataxxic kept the groove going after the band finished up.


For fairly obvious reasons it is necessary for a national government to know how many people it is serving and the demographic details concerning those people. Those who plan schools, roads, water reticulation and power supply systems, healthcare, welfare, and a dozen other factors, need to know how many people there are and into which age categories and regions they are divided. Our social leaders need to be in a position to extrapolate from reliable data what our national strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are, socially and statistically.
For this reason, much planning has been done, tax-money spent and people recruited to go door to door and fill in a census form for every household, urban and rural, throughout the length and breadth of our country. You have probably noticed the yellow census posters in your neighbourhood, introducing you to your particular census official. Perhaps you have already been visited and gone through the rather tedious process of answering questions as your form was filled in.
Make the process of data-gathering as pleasant and productive as possible. You can imagine the temptation these workers feel to cheat and supply fictitious data simply to get through their quota. Your smile and friendly response would certainly be an encouragement and affirmation of the value of the exercise.
You have nothing to hide regarding the size of your home or its occupants. If you do, then know that all things are open and transparent to God, so why the deception? Resist the temptation to be cynical, conspiratorial or suspicious that transparency on your part could result in some penalty or disadvantage further down the road—increased rates and taxes or something similar.
Imagine how and where in the process you will let it be known that you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Be prepared to send the census taker away with both a positive impression of a Christian household, a suitable tract and maybe even a little refreshment, a chocolate, drink or snack.
Pray for God's common grace to our country and to those in authority over us, as forms are filled in and data is gathered, collated and analysed. This process is due to take the best part of a year once the forms are handed in by the end of the month.

Senator Lankford Responds to President Obama's State of the Union Address
CLICK HERE to view the YouTube video
CLICK HERE to view the DropBox video
WASHINGTON, DC – Senator James Lankford (R-OK) released the following statement in response to President Obama's State of the Union address:
"Families in Oklahoma have been harmed by the policies and politics of the last seven years. Washington has become more partisan, our economic growth has become more anemic, and federal regulations have dramatically increased, controlling more of our everyday lives.
"I did appreciate the President's praise of our troops, and acknowledgement that we have the strongest military in the world. I also agree with the President that we can one day conquer cancer. This is a big vision that America should pursue; we all have someone who has walked the long journey through chemotherapy.
"Over the past four quarters, the economy has grown at a sluggish 2.1 percent, which is directly attributable to the President's policies of debt, burdensome regulations, and higher taxes.
"National security is a major concern for many Americans, because they feel more unsafe now than when Obama became President. The rise of ISIL is a consequence of an inconsistent foreign policy.
"President Obama presented an alternate reality of a growing economy and a declining terrorist threat. Most Oklahomans do not share the President's rosy optimism on the biggest issues of our day. While the President defended his flawed nuclear deal with Iran, 10 American sailors were being held by Iran. His lack of outrage and call for their immediate return was noticeably absent.
"Republicans in Congress have pursued debt reduction, education reform, and health care alternatives to Obamacare, as well as policies to grow the economy. I look forward to a time when we can have a willing partner in the White House, to listen to the American people and pass legislation to restore the American dream."
Senator Lankford also recorded a video response after the speech.
Video Excerpts:
"He talked about reducing the deficit, but ignored the fact that the debt has continued to skyrocket under his presidency. He focused on many areas that I have very, very strong disagreement on."
"He talked about how great the economy is now and how it's grown so much, but most Americans don't feel that. Wages have continued to go down and people struggle with that."
"I think there are a lot of people that struggle as the president talks tonight about the economy, and he talks about how great the economy is and how it has grown. But most Oklahomans don't feel that."
"At this moment, we have 10 of our sailors that are being held by the Iranians right now. The President completely skipped over that, he just talked about his nuclear deal but didn't talk about all the provocative acts that are happening by Iran in the Middle East."

Britain first bans exports of animals for slaughter in Europe
The UK will be the first European country to ban the export of live fattening and slaughter animals, British Environment Minister George Eustice will announce.
According to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the announcement is part of a wider strategy to improve Britain's position on animal welfare and consolidate its global leadership. Around 6,400 animals were exported to Europe for slaughter in 2018, according to the latest data available.
Around two billion live animals are exported worldwide, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, with live pigs from Poland to Denmark, chickens from the Netherlands to Thailand and sheep from Australia to Qatar among the largest exports in terms of volume.
In 2018, according to the Farm Journal, the United States exported live animals of all species valued at about $872 million, mainly to Mexico and Canada, but Brazil, South Korea and China were also among the top five countries. This includes animals for slaughter, breeding and any other purpose.
The European Union (EU) has a number of animal health requirements, but a statement by the European Commission states that "live animals are traded or imported in the European Union on a daily basis". Now that Britain has left the EU and is nearing the end of a transitional agreement, officials are trying to differentiate policy between them. The ban, if and when it comes into force, would be seen by animal welfare activists as a success for brexite.
"Live animals are usually subjected to excessively long transports during exports, which causes fear and injury," the DEFRA said. "In the past, EU regulations prevented any changes to these transports, but leaving the EU has allowed the British government to pursue these plans," the DEFRA said.
This announcement marks the start of an eight-week consultation in England and Wales and, according to Eustice, "a major step forward in fulfilling our manifesto commitment to end the export of live cattle for slaughter. Now that we have left the EU, we have the opportunity to end this unnecessary practice. We want to ensure that animals are spared stress before slaughter".
It is expected that this process will then lead to discussions in Scotland.
"The [Scottish] Government is committed to the highest possible standards of animal welfare and wants to ensure that, where necessary, livestock in Scotland is transported humanely and with respect and dignity", said Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon in 2019, "We recognise that there are complexities and we are well aware of the concerns associated with transport; our position is that ideally the process of producing quality meat should take place close to where the animals are born and reared. We are also working with the agricultural sector to find ways to raise more male dairy calves productively and profitably rather than exporting them.
Northern Ireland is likely to comply with EU legislation on live animals due to the well documented difficulties with the border on the island of Ireland.
The export of poultry in England and Wales will also continue, according to DEFRA, with tens of millions of chicks exported annually for breeding purposes. In 2018, it was worth 139 million pounds to the British economy.
Chris Sherwood, CEO of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), said: "We welcome the plans to end the export of live animals and look forward to this happening as the RSPCA has been campaigning on this issue for over 50 years.
"There is absolutely no reasonable justification for subjecting an animal to an unnecessarily stressful journey abroad just to be fattened up for slaughter. Stopping the export of live animals for slaughter and further fattening would be a milestone for animal welfare.
There are signs that other countries could follow if the policy of Great Britain is successful. There have been cases in Germany where breeding heifers were not allowed to be exported to Morocco, and officials in the Netherlands have asked the Agriculture and Fisheries Council to review animal welfare regulations.

Hot Togs
Work: Julia Aiken, Founder, Toast Heated Clothes
by Lauren Ober
Andy Duback
Julia Aiken
Living through a Vermont winter can be brutal. Who among us hasn't fantasized about heated clothes that would keep our limbs toasty and comfortable when the mercury drops to the single digits? Burlington industrial designer Julia Aiken certainly has. Only, unlike the rest of us, she's actually doing something about it.
Aiken, 42, is the engine behind Toast Heated Clothes, a new line of long underwear featuring strategically placed pockets for heat packs. The bottoms have pockets at the waistband; the tops, in the neck and lower-back areas. The idea seems so simple, it's shocking there's no such thing on the market already. But if there were, Aiken, a former professional snowboarder and hard-goods designer for Burton and Roxy, would know about it.
Aiken entered the field of industrial design somewhat by accident. Back when she was riding professionally, few, if any, boards could accommodate her small stature — she's only 5 feet tall. So she made her own equipment, taking boards given to her by Burton and hacking them apart to create something her size.
Aiken's jury-rigging caught the eye of Burton product designers, and the company offered her a full-time job. Over the years, she has designed women's product lines for Burton — most recently, the 2010 women's hard-goods line that was in stores last year.
Last year is also when Aiken became a casualty of the Burlington snowboard giant's layoffs — and struck out on her own to create the Toast line. Seven Days came in out of the cold to chat with Aiken about keeping warm.
SEVEN DAYS: Where did the inspiration come from for heated long underwear?
JULIA AIKEN: So, I was at Mount Baker [Wash.] for the banked slalom competition, and it was one of those days that only happens in the Pacific Northwest. It was pouring rain first thing in the morning, and then this snowstorm rolls in, and the weather plunges way below freezing. I was wearing this Roxy test outerwear, which was supposed to be the next Gore-Tex, and it so was not. It wasn't waterproof or even water resistant. I got soaked to the bone. And then, when it got cold, I literally had a layer of ice on my jacket. I had never been so miserable.
I was thinking about skipping the contest because I was so cold. My friend had this box of heater packs, like the ones used for arthritis pain with the adhesive backing. She put one on my stomach, one on my lower back, and one on the back of my neck. The next thing you know, I was so hot, I had to take off my jacket. I felt like a superhero. I was completely warmed up, ready for action, and I wound up winning my division.
SD: That's a great idea, but you can't stick those things on you all the time.
JA: I looked around at the top of the mountain during the banked slalom, and there are all these pro snowboarders there shivering, and I thought, Why don't more people know about these things? I work in this industry, and I don't think a lot of people use these. So, for the next four years, I rode around with the hand warmers duct-taped to my back. The stick-on ones were hard to find.
Fast-forward to January 2009: My husband, Andy, and I are riding the lift at Stowe, and we're both product designers, so we said, "You know what would be cool? Heated long underwear." We kind of looked at each other and went, "Wait a minute; we might actually be able to do this."
SD: When you came up with the concept of heated long underwear, what were some of the ideas you had for execution?
JA: First, I sat down to sketch the very basic concept. How would it look; where would you want the heat; how would you build it? My background was all hard goods up to this point, so apparel was completely foreign to me. I found a pattern designer named Sue Weed, who did the original Jogbra. She was incredible. I call her my fairy godmother.
We knew we wanted to do a pocket. The first piece we did was a tank top with two pockets, one on each kidney. Side access on the side seams, because I wanted to be able to put the heat pack in when you're wearing the garment. We started with a large heat pack on each kidney, which turns out to be too much heat. It's not the optimal location. It turns out it's the center of your lower back. But it's all trial and error.
SD: What's in the Toast lineup?
JA: There are four styles. A men's top and bottom and a women's top and bottom. To start, we'll be doing a web-only direct-to-consumer launch by November 1.
SD: Who is going to wear the heated long underwear?
JA: Well, it's inspired by snowboarding, but you can wear it walking the dog. I have product testers who wear them biking, running. Think about how many people hunt in Vermont or work construction.
SD: Where are the clothes being made?
JA: Our manufacturing is domestic; I'll even say New England. Our fabrics come from Massachusetts. And everything is made to order.
SD: OK, but if you're making them in the U.S., what are they costing? Like, $400?
JA: Nope — $65 to $75, depending on the garment. And they come with a set of three hand warmers, which is enough to get you started.

Cielo Springs was the first gated addition in the Blanco area. It has a central water system. You will hae to put in a septic system. There is a seasonal creek that runs through a portion of the prperty and when it's running I can just imagine how peaceful it sounds. A good cross-section of natie trees can e found and nothing has really been cut down at preset to allow the new owner to do what he or she see's fit. Small acreage, central water, paved roads, easy access to 281 and points beyond. It doesn't take much to see what a gem this can be.
Amazing ranch with Amazing views. Great pond that needs some rain today......but never gone dry! Lots of mature oaks. In a gated subdivision. Right off 290 in between Johnson City and Dripping Springs.

"Character Does Matter" Scholarship Awarded to Future Apache Pilot
"If not me, then who…"
Those were some of 1stLt Travis Manion's final words before his last deployment to Iraq in 2007. During that deployment, 1stLt Manion made the ultimate sacrifice while leading a counterattack with his fellow Marines and aiding his wounded teammates.
The Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) seeks to honor veterans like 1stLt Manion and spread the values they embody to future generations. TMF brings together veterans from America's armed services and young people who need positive role models — serving the needs of both groups.
This year, TMF awarded its "Character Does Matter" Scholarship to Samantha Schneider. Ms. Schneider epitomizes the high level of character and leadership skills that TMF seeks to instill in future generations.
In reference to Ms. Schneider's advanced leadership skills and quality of character, her Character Does Matter Mentor, Ret. USMC Sgt. Ben Alexander, said, "We regularly joke that we want to be a part of her Secret Service when she's the first female president."
As for Ms. Schneider's future plans, becoming president might have to wait — her desire to fly an Apache comes first. Ms. Schneider — the daughter of two Army veterans — wants to continue her family's legacy of service by becoming an Apache helicopter pilot. Ms. Schneider said, "I looked at the Apache and was like — that is something I want to fly."

He flashed back to the time when he was studying in STAN, the best college he ever recognize. He was in a class where the entire students not dropped out. He wants none of his classmates get dropped out. So he gathered his friends to study together and help them overcome their problems. He did it based on love for all of his classmates. That is what he called 'integrity', our action to help others based on nothing but love.
Integrity is not only based on the mortals, but also related to the immortals, God and religion. Integrity is about how we build ourselves to be a person who is true, not about what is the meaning of integrity. All religions are universal when speaking about integrity. There are only small differences.
He told us not to go down the road and do the long march using loudspeakers, but we must grab the sympathy of society using useful programs, for example the BMT (Baitul Maal wa Tamwil) and 'rotated capital' program which could help them empower themselves with good living and support our political view in turn.
He also several times pointed out the importance of softskill for STAN students like us. As a student, we must learn, learn, and learn. Learn the academic knowledge (hardskills), learn how to organize, and learn how to live in society (softskills). Softskills, including the ability to communicate is very important to face the carrier world. Thus, softskills must be trained at our age.
Isu psytrap-psytrapan yang dimulai oleh seorang Derp * can't remember his name -_- *, yang massively menggalaukan ribuan mahasiswa STAN beberapa minggu lalu yang sibuk ber-UTS ria itu seharusnya tak perlu sampai taken seriously, jika kita memiliki integritas dan percaya integritas kawan-kawan seperjuangan kita. Integritas sebagaimana dimaksud Pak Hario Damar itu, yang tulus membantu hanya berdasarkan cinta, tanpa niat mempsytrap-psytrapkan.
Eh? What? Tahun Baru? Itu makanan apa? Sorry ya saya baru denger kalau ada makanan khas Betawi yang namanya Tahun Baru, selama ini taunya cuma Kerak Telor sama Ketoprak… ._.

A photographic film producer develops the world's first fully digital camera
Did you know that Fujifilm developed the world's first digital camera? In 1988 at the Photokina trade fair in Germany, Fujifilm announced the FUJIX DS-1P, the world's first camera to save data to a semiconductor memory card. Taken for granted today, this method of storage was revolutionary for its time and was a Fujifilm original. With its then-impressive 2 megabytes of SRAM, the semiconductor memory card could hold 5 to 10 photographs' worth of data.
So how did a company known for its photographic film come to develop an advanced digital camera, including all of the original technologies that made it possible? This article explores the background of this amazing world's-first achievement.
Anticipating the digital era
Fujifilm was one of the first companies to envision the digital era, and to engage in digital camera R&D. In the 1970s, Fujifilm began developing CCD (charge-coupled device) technology, which a digital camera requires to convert visible light into an electric signal. In the 1980s, Fujifilm was already researching and developing digital imaging technologies. In 1988, Fujifilm developed the FUJIX DS-1P, the world's first fully digital camera, and in 1989, it began sales of the FUJIX DS-X, the world's first commercially produced digital camera.
Analog technology and its limitations
Before the development of the FUJIX DS-1P, still video cameras using an analog format were the main type of electronic camera. They stored frames to a magnetic medium called a video floppy. Back then, semiconductor memory was extremely expensive, and the idea of saving photographs in a digital format and viewing them on the low-performance personal computers of the time did not seem viable. Although video floppies were inexpensive, their data capacity was poor, and imperfect rotation could negatively impact image quality.
Taking on the digital challenge
Although it was recognized that saving photographs to a semiconductor memory card could offer low noise and outstanding color reproduction, the extreme cost of this memory remained a barrier. Fujifilm, however, saw much more affordable semiconductor memory and much higher-performance image sensors and image compression technology on the not-so-distant horizon. So in defiance of the conventional wisdom, Fujifilm took on the challenge of developing a digital camera that stored still photographs on a semiconductor memory card. The result was the world's first fully digital camera, the FUJIX DS-1P.
Fujifilm launched the world's first fully digital consumer camera FUJIX DS-1P in 1988.
Corporate DNA that allows no fear of product cannibalism
Fujifilm was a photographic film manufacturer. So why was it enthusiastic about developing a camera that used no film at all? Fujifilm has always had a corporate atmosphere and environment that encourages creative destruction and allows no fear of leaving behind old technologies or cannibalizing current products. Fujifilm's engineers are passionate about developing technologies and products that have a positive impact on society. So they dived straight into digital camera R&D and created several world's firsts in the process.
Leading-edge products via original technologies
It's in Fujifilm's DNA to take on the challenge of developing its own technologies and create amazing, leading-edge products. The world's first fully digital camera, the FUJIX DS-1P, is one key example. That DNA is just as alive today, finding its latest expression in the FUJIFILM X series of advanced digital cameras.
Fujifilm is one of the best regarded camera brands worldwide. With our award-winning range of cameras suited to Pros and enthusiasts alike, we're sure there's a camera in our range that will interest you. Visit site.

And a talk was given at Campus Party Colombia about it. Also later in Bogota the same talk was given at Maloka and weeks later in the Sofware Freedom day in Barranquilla.
I met Wolfgang Spraul Cparty too, place in wich he give two interesting talks about the Milkymist project and Copyleft Hardware Movement. great man he is !
I was too at in really amazing event near to my town, it was about the importance of the organic Seeds and sharing knowldge of our Peasant in Colombia. I must recall that even more now that our times face issues with this "Genetically modified organism"in wich seeds are in that way, and is a DANGER for our food autonomy and Ecosystem diversity let the corporations to take control of life. Also if i want practice permaculture in the long term i need organic Seeds and no faked ones that market starting to sell.
About hardware development i started some weeks ago a project about creating a gps free stack, i have not much to tell now, hope more soon.
I forgot to say i got an AVNET 49usd board, (the cheapest i founded) to start some learning about the Milkymsit platform, right now i'm working in a "How to", wich is based on how to add a counter module to the SoC, more updates will come soon too.
My last event, was in Pereira a City 2hrs away from home, the event name is JSL (Jornadas de Sofware Libre), wich its mission is have a space of work, discuss and link long works and ideas about long term work around Free Sofware dynamics in different fields.
I also i'm fixing my makerbot cupcake cnc printer, i bought an automatic build platform wich i hope will help me to produce reprap plastic parts kit to sell people interested (wich already contactc me asking me for parts).
Well i think thats all for now.


Hi dera employer, yes I am available to provide you all those services in 100$ per month. Please ping me so that we can get started.
Hello! I have an experience in this kind of job. I can send you directly my curriculum vitae. Thank you.

History of the Cannery Building
Proudly Serving Microbrew from Gold Beach's own Arch Rock Brewing Co. Please ask your server for today's selection!
The original Cannery Building was constructed by Jerry Hull in 1968. It was a wooden structure that was located where the Port Hole Cafe dining area is now. This was when the ocean troll salmon fishing off the mouth of the Rogue River was at its peak.
In 1974, with the addition of a shrimp and crab fishery, the two-story, full-scale seafood processing plant was constructed. The processing plant included; two shrimp machines, full crab cooking operations, a ten station salmon fillet line and fish smoking & canning facilities. However, due to some environmental problems such as the shoaling of the jetty entrance & the original entrance to the boat harbor & economic changes in the fishing industry, the private ownership of the processing facility changed hands three times by 1984.
From 1986 until the present, decreases in non-tribal commercial troll fisheries within the Klamath zone, of which the Rogue River is a part, had a further downward effect on the plant's capacity to operate. By Labor Day of 1991, FBC Salmon Co. had subleased the facility for sea urchin processing.
With the need to diversify the Gold Beach community's economy, the Port decided to renovate the Cannery for a retail facility with a restaurant & commercial fish processing facilities. In 1995 the Port completed Phase I of the cannery building renovation. Phase II was completed in the summer of 1997. The doors were opened to the new cannery complex in March of 1998. The renovation project has generated new jobs for the community. It now houses the Port Hole Cafe, Dumire's Bliss, The Christmas Shoppe, Fishermen Direct Seafood Market and Nor-Cal Live Fish Plant – in addition to office suites on the second floor.
We're located just south of the Rogue River Bridge. (Patterson Bridge)

here in this video, we can learn how to make the step-up transformer. the transformer is a way to convert the voltage and the ampere. if you put 100 watts you can get 100 watts. we can't increase the watts. we can control the volt and ampere only. We know that volt X amp=Watts. also watts/volt = amp. if we use 12 volts 100amp, we can get 1200Watts. we can't make it more. but we can make 1000 volt or according to our needs. but we can't cross the watts. if we make 1000 volt we can get a little amp. or if we make 600 voltage we can get 2 amperes. in this article, we are using 12Voltage. and we are making 35 volts. if we use 12 volt 100amp, we can get 35 volts 34 amp max.
Normally we can't use Battery to any high watts amplifier. here we can use a battery to a high watts amplifier. we use a simple inverter to making 12 volts to 35-0-35 voltage. here in this article, we can learn how to make an amplifier at home using Battery. Here we can see that how to make inverter using 12 voltage. we use only, 2 transistors, 2 resistors, and a 12 voltage transformer.
we also can get the diagram. In this Instructable, I will instruct you to make your own 12v DC to 35v AC inverter with less number of components. Inverters are often needed at places where it is not possible to get AC supply from the Mains. An inverter circuit is used to convert the DC power to AC power.

Botched customs upgrade cuts off Congo's second city, Kasumbalesa
Kasumbalesa
A month ago, Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) border post with Zambia, one of Africa's busiest land frontiers, went high-tech, with a web-based customs system that was meant to improve efficiency and eradicate corruption. It's not quite working to plan.
As officials struggle to get to grips with the new system and DRC's decrepit phone network groans under the weight of data, the Kasumbalesa border post 300 km (200 miles) north of Lusaka has almost ground to a halt, according to drivers and freight operators. The result is a tailback of trucks stretching at least 20 km into Zambia and a spike in prices in Lubumbashi, impoverished DRC's second city, which has lost its one proper road link to the outside. The bottleneck is bad even by African standards but it throws into stark relief the problems governments face as they try to remove the numerous bureaucratic and physical barriers to intra-regional trade across the poorest continent. "The trucks are moving about 100 meters a day," said Zambian trucker Darius Chisanga, who spent more than a week idling at Kasumbalesa. "My papers expired while we were still in the queue and I had to extend the validity before entering Congo." See also: Botched customs upgrade cuts off Congo's second city Commerce between sub-Saharan African countries accounted for just 11.3 percent of their total trade in 2011, down from a peak of 22.4 percent in 1997 and a ratio that compares woefully with around 50 percent in developing Asia, according to UNCTAD, the United Nations trade organization. Well aware that this imposes a big brake on growth, African leaders committed two years ago to boosting regional trade and fast-tracking a continent-wide free trade area. Yet the reality on the ground is of bureaucratic bungling and shoddy infrastructure continuing to impose huge costs on African economies and consumers. The Kasumbalesa blockage is being felt 100 km away in Lubumbashi, a bustling mining city of several million who rely on the 450 trucks a day that normally pass through the border laden with everything from biscuits to cement to paraffin. Shop owners are stockpiling and prices of staples such as casava powder – known locally as fufu – have gone up 50 percent in three weeks. "This has already had a big effect. It is causing lots of problems for the population," Lubumbashi resident Charles Pitchou said.
CANCELED CONTRACT Kasumbalesa – at the heart of the relatively prosperous and developed Copperbelt – was meant to be an example of how to do it properly, a frontier handed over to a private firm to make customs run like clockwork.
In one of the first public-private partnerships on African borders, an Israeli-run firm called Baran Trade and Investments won a 20-year concession in 2009 to build a "one-stop" customs post and operate it for 20 years. With $5 million of Baran's own money and a $20 million loan from the Development Bank of Southern Africa, the Zambia Border Crossing Company (ZBCC), as the subsidiary was known, had a streamlined Kasumbalesa up and running in 2011. Local media reports suggested much-reduced crossing times. However, Lusaka canceled ZBCC's contract in late 2011 when President Rupiah Banda lost an election and his successor, Michael Sata, ordered investigations into a slew of state deals struck by his predecessor. See also: Botched customs upgrade cuts off Congo's second city According to the ensuing Zambian government inquiry, the Baran deal never went out to public tender and the fees charged to trucks – $19 per axle – were too high. It also said giving control of the border to an outside concessionaire was a threat to national security and that the reduction in waiting times was not as dramatic as the firm said. Baran's chief executive, contacted via ZBCC's website, did not respond to requests for comment. CRASH With Baran gone, the state-run border posts muddled through until September, when DRC upgraded its systems from 'Sydonia++', a set-up widely used in the 1990s, to a web-based successor called 'Sydonia World', freight operators and regional trade experts said. Although UNCTAD was pushing use of 'Sydonia World' as far back as 2002, the data burden was too much for DRC's computer networks, which crashed.
Share this story: "The system is very good but if you don't have a decent Internet connection, it doesn't work," said Mike Fitzmaurice, a South African logistics consultant and editor of online trade journal Freight Into Africa. National government spokesman Lambert Mende said a vice finance minister had been despatched from Kinshasa, 1,500 km away, to resolve the problem.
Zambia too is pulling out the stops to get the border moving again in a region important to its economy. "We need to have a normal flow of goods and services because this affects the entire region," deputy trade minister Miles Sampa told Reuters. One stop-gap solution has been to scan documents in low-resolution black-and-white, rather than full color, to ease the data burden. But even if the two sides iron out the immediate snafu, the fiasco has provided another example of the dream of a seamless, integrated African border crossing falling short of reality. See also: Botched customs upgrade cuts off Congo's second city Amid much fanfare, Zimbabwe and Zambia upgraded their Chirundu border to a one-stop frontier in 2009 but crossing times have only dropped from 38 hours before to 35 now, according to Fitzmaurice, who compiles weekly records on delays. By contrast, customs clearance within the 114-year-old Southern African Customs Union (SACU) – South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland – can be as little as 30 minutes. "Once you go north of SACU, into Zimbabwe, Zambia, wherever, there's no such thing as a 'good' border post," Fitzmaurice said. "The concept behind all these systems is good but the implementation just falls down every time."

23/11/2018 an exhibition developed with support from the Basel City Cantonal Department of Construction and Transport will open: 'Dichtelust'.
In Switzerland, the concept of density has noticeably negative connotations. In Swiss political debates on urban development and land-use planning, density is often used as a discursive weapon, conjuring up terrible visions of "built up" cities and horrific scenarios with high-rise buildings "overrunning" the evolved city centres. This preconception has to be corrected. The exhibition will demonstrate what density actually means, namely sensible utilisation of buildable territory. This is because density does not automatically mean building upwards and, when used properly, is the best means of preventing "proximity stress".


Is the RemoteTracker system compliant with SBx7-7?
The short answer is – yes, in many cases it is.
But, seeing that we are engineers, you probably won't get away with a short answer. Click here to download a peer reviewed article detailing the uncertainty analysis summarized below. If you are interested in the long answer, give us a call and we would be glad to dive into additional detail.
The accuracy requirements of the Agricultural Water Measurement regulation (California Code of Regulations Title 23 Section 597 or CCR 23 §597) apply to delivery volumes, not flow rate. Volumetric accuracy is a function of the accuracy of your velocity, cross-section flow area in duration measurements. Additionally, upstream and downstream water level fluctuations can impact overall volumetric accuracy.
As you can see, the percent accuracy in volume is computed as 4.5%. This is good enough for both the laboratory certification and the field inspection accuracy certification methodologies established in CCR 23 §597.


SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) Carlos Rogers had one word to describe what his homecoming in Atlanta will be like when the San Francisco 49ers face the Falcons in Sunday's NFC championship.
The 49ers cornerback, born in Augusta and an offseason resident of Atlanta, grew up doing the ``Dirty Birds'' dance when the Falcons reached the Super Bowl during the 1998 season. He has paid for more than 30 tickets for friends and family as he makes an appearance in the Georgia Dome for only the third time in his eight-year career.
What Rogers and the 49ers will encounter on the field could be taxing, too.
Julio Jones, Roddy White and tight end Tony Gonzalez present all sorts of problems for San Francisco's secondary to solve. The trio is part of what Gonzalez calls the PYP offense - Pick Your Poison - that has shredded defenses while catching Matt Ryan's passes.
Even after shutting down receivers Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall and Larry Fitzgerald in victories this season, Atlanta's tandem has a unique combination of size and speed unlike any other the 49ers have faced.
Limiting the big play has been San Francisco's signature all season.
The 49ers allowed 157 plays of 10 yards or more, the fewest in the NFL. The unit also gave up a league-low seven touchdowns of 10 yards or more, often smothering the most vaunted receivers in the league.
Rogers and Tarell Brown, who intercepted a pass by Aaron Rodgers in last week's 45-31 win over Green Bay, have become two of the best cover corners. The duo has been significantly helped by Pro Bowl safeties Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner, part of a hard-hitting secondary that will not be the biggest on the field this week.
The 49ers are counting on their experience to serve them well.
They have beaten Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Rodgers (twice) while sticking to the same formula that brought them within a field goal against the New York Giants of making the Super Bowl last season: pressuring the quarterback without blitzing, dropping extra players in coverage and delivering big blows.
Marshall caught two passes for 21 yards in Chicago's 32-7 loss at San Francisco. Fitzgerald hauled in seven passes for 65 yards in two losses to the 49ers. And Johnson had 8 receptions for 94 yards in a Detroit's 27-19 loss to San Francisco, although most came with the game already out of reach.
Grounding the Falcons' air attack could prove more problematic.
White (92 receptions, 1,351 yards, seven TDs) and Jones (79 receptions, 1,198 yards, 10 TDs) make up one of four duos to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving this season. Atlanta nearly became the only team with three players to surpass the 1,000-yard mark, with Gonzalez finishing with 93 receptions for 930 yards and eight touchdowns.
All-Pro linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman might draw the toughest assignment.
Both will have a big hand in defending the 36-year-old Gonzalez, who has caught more passes than anyone in NFL history except 49ers Hall of Famer Jerry Rice. Gonzalez is likely to retire at the of this season but is still a matchup nightmare, showing so much when he caught a 19-yard pass from Ryan to set up Matt Bryant's winning field goal in the final seconds against Seattle last weekend.
Willis said everybody will have to be focused on their role or Ryan and his receivers will carve up San Francisco's defense.
NOTES: 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said he has not had any conversations with Randy Moss about next season but made no secret about how he feels about the wide receiver. ``I, for one, definitely want Randy to come back. Hope he feels the same way,'' Harbaugh said. Moss, who is on a one-year contract, turns 36 years old on Feb. 13. ... The team released K Billy Cundiff, signed on Jan. 1 to compete with David Akers. Cundiff was inactive against Green Bay last week.

Morris, STUDENT MEMBER OF THE BOARD Laurie Bricker Joe B. Hinton Brenda Pejovich Lyn Bracewell Phillips Robert W. Shepard Robert V. Wingo Tyler Austin San Antonio Lubbock Houston Crawford Dallas Bastrop Harlingen El Paso Raymund A. Paredes, COMMISSIONER OF HIGHER EDUCATION Mission of the Coordinating Board The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board s mission is to work with the Legislature, Governor, governing boards, higher education institutions and other entities to help Texas meet the goals of the state s higher education plan, Closing the Gaps by 2015, and thereby provide the people of Texas the widest access to higher education of the highest quality in the most efficient manner. Philosophy of the Coordinating Board The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board will promote access to quality higher education across the state with the conviction that access without quality is mediocrity and that quality without access is unacceptable. The Board will be open, ethical, responsive, and committed to public service. The Board will approach its work with a sense of purpose and responsibility to the people of Texas and is committed to the best use of public monies. The Coordinating Board will engage in actions that add value to Texas and to higher education. The agency will avoid efforts that do not add value or that are duplicated by other entities. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, or disability in employment or the provision of services.
11 CLOSING THE GAPS IN PARTICIPATION GOAL: Increase the overall Texas higher education participation rate from 5 percent in 2000 to 5.6 percent by 2010 and to 5.7 percent by Status: Somewhat Below Target In fall 2008, 5.4 percent of the state s population was participating in higher education. Based on current Texas population institutions must enroll 351,000 more students to meet the 5.7 percent target in Background Between 2007 and 2008, fall enrollment increased 44,075, the largest gain since 2002, but an annual increase of 50,000 is needed through 2015 to meet the state goal. Enrollment in two-year institutions represents 60 percent of the eight-year enrollment growth. The state participation goal is a composite of the enrollments of white, African American, Hispanic and other groups. African American enrollment is above its target, white enrollment is slightly below, and Hispanic enrollment is well below target. Analysis and Observations With Hispanic enrollment well below target, focused attention is required for this population segment. Increasing enrollments to meet participation targets can be achieved in part with an increase in persistence rates, particularly between the first and second year of enrollment. o At universities, the one-year and two-year persistence rate for first-time, full-time o students improved little between 2000 and One-year persistence for community colleges first-time, full-time students declined slightly, and the two-year persistence rate decreased by 3 percent. Attracting adults to or back to higher education can help meet the participation goal. While first-time-in-college students coming directly from high school grew by 27,000 from fall 2000 to fall 2008, enrollment rates for other new students decreased during that time from nearly 70,000 in fall 2000 and 82,000 in fall 2003, to 65,000 in fall Focusing on the unique needs of part-time students may encourage more participation of both adult and traditional-aged segments. Although the segment comprises only a small percentage of university enrollments, part-time students represent the majority of community college participants. In 2008, 69.1 percent of community college students were enrolled part-time, an increase from 63.7 percent enrolled part-time in All participation data charts show enrollment changes since fall Data for charts in this report may be found in the Appendices.

When you are running a race or simply just out for a few miles, there is a competition between your mind and body. One is telling you to stop while the other is telling you to go. It is a battle of will and every step you take you are fighting against your weakness, your desire to quit, or that sudden pang in your side. That battle is one of the reasons I love to run. Because I could spend miles thinking "I can't do this", but there comes triumph in that moment you cross finish line and you can finally say, "I did this"!
The Germans have a word for that voice in your head, the voice that tells you, you can't do this and you're not strong enough. That word is Schweinehund, translated it simply means Pig-dog. 🙂 Your Schweinehund is what follows you around quietly and sometimes you forget it is even there, but then it shows its ugly face the moment that you are challenged. The more you are challenged or the more you begin to have self-doubt, it gets bigger and bigger. It chases you down until it is riding on your back. Sometimes it feels as if the weight of that Schweinehund is just too much, that you'd rather quit, give up, and don't go any further. But that's what it wants!!
We must continue to push through all the self doubt and hesitations. Once we are able to do that, we come out on the other side a much stronger individual. It's hard, especially on those days when you're just "not feelin' it". Many times during a race and training even, I have let my Innerer Schweinehund get the best of me. It takes practice to figure out how to control it and keep it at bay.
Look back and try to think of the shear number of miles you have ran. It's crazy! Seriously! If you added up the number of miles you have run in training for a race, it could easily be more than what some people have done in their lives! Applaud yourself for that.
Everyone has an "off day"…..EVERYONE! As much as I'd like to think I'm perfect, I'm far from it. We will have those days, that runny nose, that crampy quad or slow pace. It happens.
There are things out of your control like crazy humidity, freezing rain, ice on the course and so forth. You may have big plans for race day but some things are simply out of your control. Don't blame yourself for those things.
Give yourself a smaller "target/goal". Sometimes we get stuck on the thought,'I've got 8 more miles left.' You start to feel this is never ending. I have found it helpful to pick a landmark up ahead that I can see (a stop sign; house on the corner; blue truck). Then I tell myself, you have to make it to the "blue truck", you can't stop until you reach "the blue truck". I repeat that over and over till I get there and 9 times out of 10 I don't want to stop anymore! Or, I simply find I new landmark to be my goal. Usually after a couple times of doing this, I am reminded of how awesome I am and keep pushing through!!!
Whatever your Innere Schweinehund tries to tell you just remember this, MEIN INNERER SCHWEINEHUND KANN MICH MAL!!
My "Innere Scweinehund" was screaming at me in the gym today! But I finished anyway!

With $93,600 in debt to various credit cards and loans, and nearing retirement, this couple needs to consider debt settlement. They are like many others in debt who never seem to get ahead of their minimum payments. They are slowly but surely being swallowed up by the mounting interest payments and a debt that only grows.
In this story they have consulted a financial planner to aggressively pay off the full $93,600 balance using (1) a $14,000 gift from a parent, (2) decreasing contributions to retirement savings, and (3) one spouse forgoing retirement for as long as necessary to pay down the debt.
There is another way. Had they consulted a debt settlement attorney they would have learned that debt settlement decreases the principal balance owed. This means instead of paying off the full $93,600 debt, they could have had a qualified attorney negotiate for a greatly reduced sum.
For this couple this could change everything. Perhaps they both could retire? Perhaps they could both retire earlier because they could save more money for retirement? If you are a couple nearing retirement and still carrying debt, contact a qualified debt settlement attorney and learn more about debt settlement. It could change everything for you too.

Dia da Sede () é o nome tradicionalmente dado na historiografia árabe a uma batalha travada em 724 entre o turco Grão-Canato Turguexe e o Califado Omíada nas margens do rio Sir Dária (Jaxartes), na Transoxiana (no moderno Tajiquistão, Ásia Central). O exército omíada, comandado por Muslim ibne Saíde Alquilabi, estava em campanha no vale de Fergana quando soube do avanço turguexe. Imediatamente, os árabes começaram uma retirada apressada para o Jaxartes, perseguidos e assediados pela cavalaria turguexe. Finalmente, depois de 11 dias, o exército omíada alcançou Jaxartes, onde foi preso entre os turguexes e as forças dos principados nativos da Transoxiana. No entanto, os árabes conseguiram romper e cruzar o rio para Cujanda. A derrota dos omíadas levou ao colapso do domínio muçulmano em grande parte da região, que até ca. 740 permaneceu como território disputado, com os árabes e os turguexes lutando pelo controle.

Antecedentes

A região de Transoxiana havia sido conquistada pelos árabes muçulmanos do califado omíada sob Cutaiba ibne Muslim no reinado de  , após as conquistas muçulmanas da Pérsia e do Coração em meados do . A lealdade das populações nativas iranianas e turcas da Transoxiana e dos governantes locais autônomos permaneceu questionável, no entanto, como demonstrado em 719, quando os príncipes da Transoxiana enviaram uma petição aos chineses e seus vassalos turguexes por ajuda militar contra califas. Os turguexes responderam lançando uma série de ataques contra os muçulmanos na Transoxiana, começando em 720. Essas incursões foram acompanhadas de levantes contra o califado entre os soguedianos locais. O governador omíada do Coração, Saíde ibne Anre Alharaxi, reprimiu duramente a agitação e restaurou a posição muçulmana quase ao que era durante o tempo de Cutaiba, exceto para o vale de Fergana, cujo controle foi perdido.

Expedições contra Fergana e o "Dia da Sede"

Em 723, Alharaxi foi substituído como governador por Muslim ibne Saíde Alquilabi, que decidiu no final do ano seguinte lançar uma expedição com o objetivo de capturar Fergana. A campanha enfrentou dificuldades já em seus estágios iniciais, quando chegaram as notícias da ascensão de um novo califa, Hixame ibne Abedal Maleque, e da nomeação de um novo governador do Iraque, Calide Alcáceri. Isso trouxe à tona as rivalidades tribais de longa data dos árabes do Coração: as tropas iemenitas (árabes do sul) em Balque inicialmente se recusaram a se juntar à campanha, pois esperavam a retirada iminente de Alquilabi (que era de origem árabe do norte) pelo novo regime. Somente depois que Nácer ibne Saiar liderou uma força de modaritas (árabes do norte) contra eles e os derrotou em , os iemenitas se juntaram ao exército de Alquilabi. A campanha acabou avançando quando Calide Alcáceri escreveu a Alquilabi, instando-o a prosseguir até que seu substituto, o irmão de Calide, Assade, chegasse ao Coração. No entanto,  soldados da tribo iemenita dos  retiraram-se do exército.

Alquilabi liderou seu exército ao longo do vale do Jaxartes até Fergana, e sitiou-o enquanto devastava a paisagem circundante. Nesse ponto, o exército omíada percebeu que o grão-cã turguexe Suluque avançava contra eles com um exército mais forte que o seu. Abandonando o cerco, o exército muçulmano recuou tão apressadamente em direção ao sul que foi alegado que cobriram uma distância em um dia que equivalia a três dias de viagem normal. No segundo dia, depois que os árabes cruzaram o rio Uádi Açubu (Wadi al-Subuh), o exército turguexe os alcançou e atacou um campo secundário armado por Abedalá ibne Abi Abedalá separadamente da principal força árabe. Os árabes e seus aliados soguedianos sofreram pesadas baixas - o irmão do governante de Samarcanda, , estando entre os mortos - mas conseguiram repelir o ataque.

Os árabes continuaram sua retirada por mais oito dias, durante os quais foram constantemente perseguidos pela cavalaria turguexe. No nono dia, os árabes alcançaram o Jaxartes apenas para encontrar seu caminho bloqueado por seus inimigos, tropas dos principados nativos de Chache e Fergana e os remanescentes da rebelião soguediana que Saíde Alharaxi havia suprimido. Os árabes acamparam durante a noite e queimaram todas as bagagens, supostamente no valor de um milhão de dirrãs, em preparação para a batalha. No dia seguinte, apesar de estarem com sede e presos entre os turguexes na retaguarda e as forças transoxianas da frente, os árabes desesperados conseguiram romper as linhas inimigas e cruzar os Jaxartes. Como escreve Atabari, quando chegaram à relativa segurança de Cujanda, "sofrendo de fome e exaustão, as tropas se espalharam em desordem". Lá, a liderança do exército foi formalmente transferida para , que liderou os remanescentes do exército de volta a Samarcanda.

Rescaldo e impacto

A derrota do exército árabe e as baixas sofridas foram um catalisador para o colapso quase completo do domínio muçulmano na Transoxiana nos anos seguintes. Nas palavras do estudioso britânico H. A. R. Gibb, "foi praticamente a última expedição agressiva dos árabes à Transoxânia em quinze anos, mas de muito maior importância foi o golpe que desferiu no prestígio árabe. Os papéis se inverteram; a partir de agora os árabes ficaram na defensiva e foram gradualmente expulsos de quase todos os distritos do Oxo." O novo governador omíada, Assade Alcáceri, fez campanha incessantemente nos anos seguintes, mas sem alcançar nenhum resultado importante. Assade também tentou garantir a cooperação das elites locais abolindo por um tempo o pagamento de impostos pelos convertidos nativos (mauali), mas essa política foi contestada pelos próprios árabes coraçanes e foi revertida pelo sucessor de Assade, Axeras ibne Abedalá Alçulami. Isso levou a um levante geral da Transoxiana em 728 e, com a ajuda militar turguexes, os árabes foram expulsos de quase toda a região. Posteriormente, a Transoxiana permaneceu contestada, e os árabes não recuperaram sua posição anterior até as campanhas de Nácer ibne Saiar em 739-741, que se aproveitou do colapso do Grão-Canato Turguexe em guerras civis após o assassinato de Suluque em 738.
