Amazing Apps: Shadow's Edge
Shadow's Edge is a mobile game designed to help teens with chronic and severe illness cope with their own mental health struggles. The game has since been expanded to appeal to all teens,it's very timely: isolation can especially be tough on kids and teens, who may feel very alone right now, and parents may be at a loss on how to help.
Tech entrepreneur, screenwriter and award-winning producer Rosemary Lokhorst lived with chronic illness for 20 years before teaming up with The Digging Deep Project and a team of psychologists to develop and expand Shadow's Edge. Lokhorst designed the game to make young adults who are struggling with mental and physical health crises have somewhere to go to feel heard and seen—and to know they're not defined by their problems.
Shadow's Edge is available in six languages, and Lokhorst developed the app so well that it's delivered proven psychological benefits for players, including:
Proactive Coping: Dealing in a future-oriented way with a difficult situation; setting realistic goals
Mindfulness and acceptance: The nonjudgmental focus on and acceptance of present moment experiences
Optimism: A mental and emotional attitude that future conditions will work out for the best
Emotional Regulation: The capacity to allow and deal with strong emotions
Derived Meaning: Getting a sense of purpose through what is happening
Positive Self Identity: Having a feeling of self-worth
Connection: Being able to access the feeling of being supported and being able to reach out for help within the game's own network of players
The numbers speak for themselves: 80% of players saw increased optimism, 82% saw better emotional regulation, 83% felt more connected and 76% improved mindfulness, awareness and self-identity.
I had a chance to interview Rosemary to learn more.
Why did you create this app originally?
Shadow's Edge is a product of the Digging Deep project spearheaded by author and brain cancer survivor, Sheri Sobrato Brisson. The book, Digging Deep: A Journal for Young People Facing Health Challenges, helps teens tell their story and be empowered by it. They learn that their illness isn't what defines them. More than 35,000 copies were distributed to hospitals and used as a tool to discuss difficult topics with teens and children. After witnessing the success of the book, Sheri wanted to do more and decided to go digital and put a team together. About two years ago, the Digging Deep team launched Shadow's Edge in the hopes of reaching more young people with a hyper-interactive platform with lasting impact. The game meets teens where they are and helps them take the learning and skills from the game to build resilience in their real life and find meaning in their struggles.
Why was it expanded to reach all teens?
We wanted to expand its reach to all teens, even those who aren't battling chronic illnesses in order to provide a safe and restorative environment for young people dealing with the mental hardships of today's society. Studies show that one in three teens face emotional struggles, from anxiety to depression and 75% self-report that they would benefit from a little emotional support. This was before COVID. And so, especially now, as we are all social distancing, teens can feel particularly isolated being away from the people who make up such a huge part of their lives and contribute to their emotional and mental development. We believe Shadow's Edge can help all teens from all walks of life dealing with anxiety, depression, illness, etc. and believe in the power of this game to heal through self-expression and self-discovery. Everyone is dealing with something and our hope is that Shadow's Edge will help all teens with their "something" in a way that leads to growth.
What makes it helpful for teens?
Shadow's Edge is based on narrative therapy, using storytelling and interactive activities to promote changes in perspective, enable distance from pain or trauma, and identify skills and strategies for managing illness and/or major stressors that teens often face. It is especially helpful for teens who are learning who they are and figuring out how to express themselves. Players have the ability to create and share art that demonstrates how they're feeling. It is a very personal journey, but there is also a sense of collaboration and support that is vital for teens going through tough times and dealing with the overwhelm of the current health crisis. Our impact studies show improvements in optimism, positive self-identity and emotional regulation, amongst others when playing the game regularly. In game exercises and evolving content and community participation make this a tool that teens can rely on during their journey to resilience.
How can parents help use tools like this to maintain their teen's mental health?
We created a game so that we could bring a more relatable tool to help teens navigate challenges they're facing with mental health. Parents can introduce tools like these to their own kids and use them as a catalyst to dive deeper into subjects that may be hard to talk about without a jumping off point. Shadow's Edge lets teens find purpose and build resilience at their own pace. Difficult discussions should never be forced, so utilizing a tool like Shadow's Edge can help bridge the gap between concerned parents and their teens and provide an opportunity to discover their strength on their own terms.


With so many options in today's world, a press release has maintained its value when it comes to public relations and communication. Follow these simple PR strategies on how to write press release and your media release is sure to garner rave reviews.
The best way to start is by digging through information relating to your article and then deciding the kind that does well with the masses. The tone of writing and relevance to the publication has to be maintained, so as to make sure it's worth the publication's time. It is important to have a strong headline and introduction.
A press release has a standard format. Properly categorize and organize all your information using the standard format. While emailing your article to the journalist attach your article in plain text and provide sufficient details and download links to any multimedia content.
A "short and sweet" headline is preferred by the majority of journalists and should feature prominently in your PR strategy. The headline should be precise and interesting to gain people's attention. A lot can be said using a few words, so use them well. The headline needs to speak the volumes of the article to the reader. The storyline and subject should be in sink.
Press releases should make things very clear to their readers. They need to understand what you are trying to say. Journalists are not impressed with the use of highfalutin technical terms and long, boring paragraphs. Journalists will discard your PR email if they find the subject matter vague and irrelevant.
Organize your subject matter in points. If you can condense the article and save journalists some time, it's more than appreciated. Summarize all your important information so it is easy and convenient for the reader.
Summarize your USP early in the press release and answer the essential 5Ws. Structure your content smartly and leave only the least important information for the end. Use paragraph breaks where necessary and make sure you structure it well.
Keep track of your word limit. Do not exceed two pages, one is preferred. Try limiting your press release to about 300 words. Add a link, if needed, for additional specifications. Very long articles often lose their charm so it is very necessary to maintain a certain word limit.
Simple, specific and relevant images are useful. Fancy formatting and pictures just don't work. The article needs to be really easy to scan and fancy formatting can get in the way of a well-written article. Include a link to downloadable high-resolution photos and videos.
Make yourself available for the days after your press release so that the publisher can contact you easily. Always put your phone number in a prominent area instead of hiding it in irrelevant content. Queries in an email conversation don't work all the time but do ensure that your media release has your email address on there.


Every week at okmagazine.com, accomplished designer Malan Breton takes a look back at the week in fashion — the Do's, the Dont's and everything in between! Join Malan and OK! for Fashion Fridays!
Ageless, beautiful, washed, worn, tattered, torn, over-dyed, darlings, these are the adjectives used to describe the greatest invention in sportswear.
Denim, but one woman knows best how to wear it and it is Heidi Klum, seen here in a simple blazer and red espadrilles. Lady Samuels looks every bit the supermodel in a diamond brassiere or a distressed pair of denim shorties.
Alas there is a right way and a wrong, I think I am going to start calling her Miley Serious instead of Cyrus because seriously darling, you are such a pretty girl to look like you paid 35 cents for her entire ensemble, including the weave. Please come see me, I would love to fashion you up a bit!
Kristen Stewart looks skater chic in a hoodie, Slim denim, and what looks like vans. Wait, why the sour puss? Never wear denim in anger or sorrow. It is meant to be playful and fun! HAHA!
Salma Hayek is giving us faux denim in a jersey stretch ensemble that gives her the appearance of OOOPS! One or three too many mixed elements! Darling, less is more, the turban, the waist cincher and the waist high boots equal about four separate key looks. I do love her Chanel Vamp finger polish! So gothic chic!
Kourtney Kardashian gives new meaning to early '80s gone wrong, I usually give you a 10 for style, today a two. It's alright everyone has an off day! But Scott Disick is looking so chic in what looks like the same colour as his baby blue eyes, bravo!
Did I mention Kim Kardashian looks like Marisa Berenson in her Studio 54 days, with the Halston inspired fedora and the black chubby, and the Hermes Kelly Bag in tow!
I have to say I love Katherine Heigl, but her dress looks like a $2 handbag gone wrong! The pageant satin, the brooch, and OMG the north meets northwest hemline?!?! The color is pretty. Josh Duhamel looks amazing in a simple black suit with slim tie. It's male classic reinvented.
Oh darlings, another invention in denim, the evening cocktail dress, seen here on Sarah Burns taking daywear to evening in Americas favorite fabric.
One of my favorite men's style icons Justin Timberlake mixes denim with a great tie and great outer vest. Its very Ivy League chic!
Well, we end the week in sheer A-list glamor, at the premiere of Red in NYC, with the always beautiful Helen Mirren in a gorgeous crimson wrap, Samuel L. Jackson in his signature bobby cap with a nehru collar, which is the new silhouette for fall, blazer. Then we have Mary Louise Parker in modernist chic, with an emphasis on this seasons trend for lingerie. Gorgeous!
Darlings, I am off to the Hamptons for my darling Amanda's wedding, I designed her wedding gown! Until next week, I wish you Love and glamor!

Generally specific technical question re: Rickenbacker 4003 bass setup
1 Proteus 2 months ago
Like...what should I expect for action at the 12th fret with no more fret buzz than would be tolerable on the average P-Bass?
Neck on this one appears nearly dead-straight. Frets have zero wear. Action is higher than I think it should be (5/32" on bass side, 3/32" on treble), and still more fret buzz than I'd like.
No experience setting up Ric basses. I've heard a few of them, though, and they don't all sound like bass sitars.
2 DCBirdMan 2 months ago
Those double truss rods take some getting used to. Those tiny frets can have buzz probs. You can get a decent bass sound outta the neck pickup.
3 Timthom62 2 months ago
Adjusting a Rickenbacker dual truss rod instrument has driven many mad. It is very easy to induce a twist to the neck, so beware of casual adjustments.
You mention the string heights, and for string heights at the 12th fret, your number for the bass side is just a tad high. Normally, when setting up a 4001 or 4003, I aim for 4/64" at the 12th fret. I'll go a little higher for heavier strings, but all that is adjusted at the bridge.
One thing to check would be the neck relief. For a bass, depending on string gauge, I aim for .014 to .016 relief measured at the 7th fret (or 9th fret for a long scale), measured in the usual neck relief measuring way.
Them big ol' strings on that long ol' neck do some major league swangin' when they do what they do. Not having adequate neck relief brings out the Ravi Shankar in 'em.
Yes, 12th fret.
I don't detect any neck twist, and I'm going easy on the adjustments.
As for relief, that has to be adjusted with the rods, no? I gather that there's lore that a Ric neck should be dead straight; others allow as how the same physics that obtain in the rest of guitardom also apply to Rics, and a touch of relief is called for. Right now it's pretty much straight. Relaxing the bass rod for any more would leave the adjusting nut loose.
I'd be thrilled with 4/64".
I'm starting to think I could squeeze this thing till the juice runs down its neck and it will still be a lemon.
I've heard the same thing about Ric necks for years, but the rules of string physics apply to Rickenbacker just like they do for all the others. Strings need room to vibrate, and vibrating strings is kind of the point, ain't it?
You are correct that the truss rod is the primary adjustment for neck relief, although string tension figures in as well. The dual truss rod system allows the long thin necks the Ric is so famous for, but adjusting them is a matter of balancing the inputs of the two rods. Those made before '84 operated a little differently than those made since. Is yours before or after that date?
It's 2012. You can see pics of possible bridge "tail lift" in my whiny NBD thread here: http://gretschpages.com/for...
When I mic the strings, I find the Ric-factory standard .045 - .105, so assume they're at the standard tension as well.
This bass appears to have no fretwear, and the finish cosmetic damage is all consistent with careless handling and not playing. It may have been a clunker from the git-go and just passed along the feeding chain.
So, being post-'84, you have two truss rods, but they each work just like a normal truss rod.
The only difference is that they're threaded on both ends, so one of the issues that you can encounter is the rod having backed out of the internal nut. You mention that the rod on the bass side is pretty loose, will it tighten? As long as it does, the possibility of a backed out or broken truss rod can be eliminated.
Is the rod on the treble side very tight? Normally, the goal is to keep the tension on each of them roughly equal, as a way of preventing neck twist. You might try backing that one off, checking the neck relief measurement before and after to see if it's an improvement.
They both work normally, yes. Can be tightened or loosened. I don't know how to tell if tension on them is equal...short of a torque wrench - which I probably should have but don't. My impression is that the treble side is pretty tight and the bass side pretty loose.
But if they can't have unequal tension, that obviates some of the perceived advantage of having two - ie, that you can use differential torque to overcome wood wackiness. (Though I wouldn't think one chunk of wood would vary much in its susceptibility to string tension over less than 2" in width.)
9 tubwompus 2 months ago
Tim, on Monday, I had an almost two-hour long riveting phone conversation with a fella that worked at Rickenbacker back in the 70's. He said that the single truss rod didn't work because of what they were making them out of, so they were ordered to start putting in the second one because "since one didn't work, maybe two would." There goes the mystique. It was just a punt.
10 Timthom62 2 months ago
No, they can have unequal tension, in fact they will in the end because the heavier strings have higher tension, so the force would twist the neck if they were both equal at the end.
However, in a case like this, the starting point is to have them both roughly equal so that you can adjust each in turn to achieve the proper neck relief while preventing a twist.
A torque wrench wouldn't really be necessary, although I'll have to try that next time. It's more a matter of "feel" as to whether one is tighter than the other. Since you tighten them to counteract string tension, having one loose and one tight can work to prevent proper neck relief.
Again, I'd loosen the treble side either 1/4 or 1/2 turn, measuring neck relief before and after, and see if that helps.
11 Curt Wilson 2 months ago
You can't just tighten the truss rod or you'll snap it!
It's a two person to tighten or take relief out. You need to clamp the fretboard at the nut then have someone hold the body as the truss rod operator presses down at the headstock to give some backbone then snugs up on the nuts.
If you don't clamp the fretboard it'll come apart at the seam.
It's a simple process don't get sucked into the minutia.
Use your eyes and fingers and put the ruler back in the toolbox.
15 Proteus 2 months ago
No ruler, all eyeball-measuring here.
I tightened the treble side less than a quarter-turn, just enough to feel it's tight. I've loosened the bass side probably half a turn, and just barely see any beginning of relief.
The tone is fabulous. The buzzing is making me crazy. To complicate the thing, the nut feels like it's not slotted deep enough. Pretty stiff fretting from 1-3 (and minimal buzzing up to 5). From 5-10 or so, especially on the E & A, it's a buzzfest.
It doesn't play nearly as well as the Falcon bass. It's a struggle to get around the Ric. It just doesn't feel like it's right. It actually feels like there's too much relief. You know how a guitar fights you in the middle register when that's the case, like you have to work for every note. Then to have them buzz when you get them...
I tightened the treble side less than a quarter-turn, just enough to feel it's tight. I've loosened the bass side probably half a turn, and just barely see any beginning of relief. - Proteus
By tightening the treble side, and loosening the bass side, you're using the tension of one against the other. I still think that the next step would be to loosen the treble side 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
I can do that.
To be clear, though, at present I see nothing that even starts to remind me of twisting - or any odd geometry at all. That's what's maddening: everything looks right. Just doesn't feel it. It's got me stymied.
Your eye can lie to you, that's why I use a ruler (a scale, actually), and a feeler gauge. What looks good and feels good now can seem just the opposite the next day. If you don't know how it was set up when it was good, it's harder to tell what has changed when it's not.
In short, you want the string tension to cause the neck to bend more toward the strings, and to do that you want to loosen the truss rods. Once you get the neck relief set properly, then you snug up the truss rod nuts. At that point you sight down the neck from the body and adjust the nuts to relieve any twist, and you check occasionally to ensure that it doesn't begin to twist later. Sometimes, wood moves slowly.
With the bridge base lifting, even the small amount you show in your other thread, you're losing some of the string tension that would be acting on the neck normally. It is entirely possible that you'll find yourself with both truss rod nuts loose and still not enough relief with the strings tuned to pitch.
A seven year old bass with no fret wear may, as you suspect, be telling you something.
I'll add that I've never seen a naturally occurring twist on any Ric, that's a driver issue.
The dual truss rods are there because of the thin neck and the crazy small rod stock they use. The actual neck, the maple part is scary thin so the strength comes from the fretboard. Make sure the board hasn't separated from the maple in the first few frets which would allow a hockey stick bend early.
Speaking of undersized systems, a Gibson Bass V walked in with a neck bend that was ridiculous. It too had an undersized truss rod so I thought a bigger one would solve the problem, it didn't. Then I went to one of those large dual action things and it didn't work. Finally I went with the biggest dual action units made, routed out the channel to almost no wood then added a carbon fiber channel.
Post surgery.

Registration for Summer Quads has begun.
Four (4) players on each court play one 8 game set with each player on the court. The player winning the most combined games over the 3 sets moves up a court for the next week and the player with the least amount of games moves down a court.
Cans of balls and court score sheets will be available each Saturday morning at the tables by the tennis bulletin board before the start of the first matches. If there is an overflow court at Eastgate, then the #1 seed at the Eastgate court is responsible for picking up balls and score sheet for that court from the QHSC courts.
The time for the Quad is the time for the match to begin play. It is not the arrival time. If a match is scheduled for 8am, then players need to be on the court well before the start time, be warmed up and ready to begin play promptly at 8am. Getting matches started on time and finishing as closely to on time is a courtesy to everyone that plays the following matches.
Warm ups between matches are limited to five (5) minutes. Again, this is a courtesy.
*This is not required for the last match or Eastgate matches.
At the end of your time slot, your court will be allowed to finish the game that they are playing but must stop once that game ends. If only 6 games are played, then just enter those 6 games on the scorecard.
The #1 seed on each court is responsible for emailing results to their Quads Commissioner as soon as possible so the next week's schedule can be released in a timely fashion.
If mutually agreed upon by all four players, a Quad may change time/location if needed. Example: 9:30am Quad at QHSC wishes to play early due to scheduling conflicts, they can play 7am at Eastgate if they so choose. Please inform your Quads Commissioner of the change asap.
Everyone will be emailed the results along with the schedule for the following week no later than the following Monday afternoon.
Each player is responsible for finding his own sub. It is recommended that full-time players get a sub of equal ability to ensure all players have an enjoyable Quad. Please make every attempt to secure your own sub before sending out a mass email.
Full-time players can sub for another player as long the subbing does not conflict with the full-time player's own match.
If a player/sub fails to show up on time and cannot be contacted, the other three players may find a sub to complete the foursome and the full time player is automatically demoted a court for the next week.
Please make sure all subs know what court they're supposed to be playing on and are subbing for the correct player.
Subs cannot advance a player to a higher court. Subs can hold a regular players' position above other players or can move them a down a position - or even down to a lower court. In the event of a tie, full-time players receive the higher seed the next week. A sub cannot move a full-timer up a position or to a higher court no matter how many Quads he/she wins. Whomever has the lowest number of total wins on a court moves down to the next court - no matter who is playing (again, full-time players are seeded higher in the event of a tie with a sub, no matter the seed position).
While sub Brian has a total of 17 wins, Paul moves up to Court 1 the following week with 13 wins. Only having 7 wins, Alpesh drops down to Court 3. Joey will remain in the #3 position the next week and Marc will be #2. Subs cannot advance a player to a higher seed, no matter how many more wins they may have.
Subs Dave and Jerry win the most and least games respectively. Full-timer Alex moves up a court with 12 wins. Full-timer Robby drops down a court with only 10 wins by his sub, Jerry. The next week, Mark will be #2 and Jonathan will be #3. Sub Dave just holds the higher court position for Mark above Jonathan, not move him up.
Full-time players Jimmy and Mike both move courts. Jimmy goes up a court and Mike drops down a court. Sub Tony (for Andy) and full-timer Rick tie with 13 wins. While sub Tony plays in a higher position than full-timer Rick, Rick will move into the #2 spot the following week and Andy will be #3. Full-time players always get the better seeded position in the case of a tie with a sub.

RDI Hub in Kerry marketing itself as 'remote' location
A NON-PROFIT hub for start-ups in Killorglin is reporting interest from firms seeking a 'remote' base for workers living in Kerry, Cork and Limerick.
The RDI Hub – a joint venture of Fexco, IT Tralee, Kerry County Council and Enterprise Ireland – opened earlier this year in the Co Kerry town and already hosts operations for tax compliance firm Taxamo and Swiss equipment manufacturer Liebherr.
The 12,000-square-foot facility beside Fexco's headquarters reopened yesterday following a four-month closure because of Covid-19 restrictions.
Liam Cronin, chief executive of the RDI Hub, said it has been approached by several potential tenants seeking a second workplace.
Some are seeking extra space because their existing offices would be too tightly packed to maintain social distance; others are considering a base in the south-west for regional workers who otherwise would keep working from home.
"We anticipate that having a second-site presence will become the norm over the coming years, and the benefits for companies are extensive," Mr Cronin said. "Sharing of knowledge, fostering innovation and growth mindset, while offering employees the flexibility they now desire, will positively impact business performance."
He cited anecdotal evidence "that while working from home is having a positive impact on productivity, both creativity and innovation have taken a hit. You really need people together to brainstorm."
Mr Cronin said tenants were being encouraged to participate in the RDI Hub's on-site wellness programme as part of wider community-building efforts. The goal, he said, was for staff within and between firms "to come together and collaborate and have those serendipitous moments where new ideas come up".
The RDI Hub also is running mentor and accelerator programmes with input from Accenture's head of strategy, Karen O'Regan; the chief executive of Scale Ireland, Liz McCarthy; the CEO of Phelan Energy, Louise Phelan; and Fexco's director of strategic business development, Karl Aherne.
Taxamo chief executive John McCarthy praised the RDI Hub as providing "amazing physical space, cutting-edge technology and access to a network of expertise to help and support the expansion of our business".
He said such facilities help "to retain and attract talent outside of the main urban centres."

Federico García Lorca (Fuente Vaqueros, 1898. június 5. – Víznar (Granada), 1936. augusztus 19.) népszerű spanyol költő, drámaíró, festő, zeneszerző. A legnagyobb 20. századi drámaírók egyike.

Élete
1898-ban született Andalúziában, egy Fuente Vaqueros nevű kis faluban, ahonnan a család 1909-ben Granadába költözött.

1919-től filozófiát, jogot és irodalmat tanult Madridban, ahol megismerte többek között Luis Buñuelt, Salvador Dalít és Gregorio Martínez Sierrát, a madridi Teatro Eslava igazgatóját, akinek meghívására megírta és megrendezte első darabját, El maleficio de la mariposa címmel, 1919-20-ban. Ez egy verses dráma volt, ami a pillangó és a csótány közötti lehetetlen szerelmet ábrázolta. Az érzéketlen közönség kinevette a darabot – emiatt később García Lorca azt mondta, hogy az 1927-es Mariana Pineda volt az első színdarabja.

A következő néhány évben egyre jobban részt vett a spanyol avantgárd-mozgalomban. Három új verseskötetet adott ki.

A második darabja, a Mariana Pineda – Dalí díszleteivel – óriási sikert aratott 1927-ben.

Az 1920-as évek végén depresszió lett úrrá rajta, amelyet tovább rontott, hogy egyre kevésbé tudta titkolni homoszexualitását barátai és családja előtt. Emilio Aladrén szobrászhoz fűződő viszonzatlan szerelme miatt külföldre menekült, New Yorkba költözött. A forradalom kitörése előtt hazatért. Amikor kitört a háború, Madridból Granadába költözött. Ott azonban egy falangista kivégzőosztag agyonlőtte, és holttestét egy jelöletlen sírba helyezték. Ma Granadában múzeum őrzi emlékét.

A magyar lírában Radnóti Miklós így emlékezett a költőtárs halálára:

Mert szeretett Hispánia
s versed mondták a szeretők, -
mikor jöttek, mást mit is tehettek,
költő voltál, – megöltek ők.
Harcát a nép most nélküled víjja,
hej, Federico García! (1937, Federico García Lorca)

I've learned two important things today: I can turn my iPhone into a tiny slot machine, and "appcessory" is a word now. Jackpot Slots—which is both an iPhone app and a dock—just made someone's tech-savvy grandma very happy.
The Jackpot Slots dock costs $40, but that includes the eponymous app that gives you access to several different slot games "of varying levels of difficulty." Which I assume encompasses "random luck" and "extra random luck." You can also compete in slot tournaments, win prizes, and suffer your crippling gambling addiction in the comfort of your own home.

Cop Wrongly Arrested as "Terrorist" Can't Sue OKC For Abuse
Written by Liberty News Daily Published: 27 September 2016
Joshua Shaw, a police officer from McLoud, Oklahoma, was enjoying a dinner conversation with a female police academy trainee at Henry Hudson's Pub in Oklahoma City when he was suddenly accosted by four fellow officers. One officer grabbed him from behind, and with the help of a comrade dragged Shaw bodily from the room.
Angered and alarmed, Shaw demanded to know why he was being manhandled and frantically identified himself as a police officer. Shortly after the assault began one of the assailants noted Shaw's badge under his jacket. After Shaw had been detained for nearly a half-hour he was told that an off-duty officer in the pub had overheard a conversation in which Shaw had discussed shooting an AK-47. Shaw and his dinner companion, he was told, had been suspected of "discussing terroristic acts."

It probably says a lot about cricket's esoteric appeal that the biggest scandal engulfing it for years has been ignited by someone stuffing a piece of sandpaper down his pants (I know, ouch).
For those not au fait with the sport's unique charms, the Australian cricket team has essentially 'fessed up to cheating in their most recent Test match by tampering with the ball, using the sandpaper.
It has caused unprecedented uproar, not only Down Under but across the sporting world. It has also been an utterly fascinating spectacle to observe from a comms perspective.
Rarely can accusations of naughtiness and misbehaviour have been so quickly confessed and in such unedifying technicolour.
No sooner had allegations been made, than Steve Smith, the Australian captain, and Cameron Bancroft, the man with the sandpaper, were plonked in front of the TV cameras, where they spouted chapter and verse on the affair. Who, how, when, why – little went unsaid during a remarkable press conference.
In an age of fake news and Trumpese, this 'ultra-honesty' response was breathtaking in its speed and the pure, unfiltered level of detail.
Sporting interviews and press conferences are infamous for endless clichés and a depressing lack of candour.
So, on one hand, the disarming level of disclosure and amount of detail was admirable. On the other, the startling lack of crisis comms savvy whacked you in the face like a 90mph bouncer.
Don't rush there – OK, TV pictures proved fairly damning, but rarely has it paid off to rush to comment when the adrenaline is coursing.
Would an acknowledging statement, with more detail to follow, have allowed them time to consider their approach and position?
The panicking pair didn't even seem sure of their story themselves – a surefire sign of a lack of preparation and consideration of what was being said.
Wheel out the big guns - The most staggering and indefensible part of the strategy (or lack of) was the decision to wheel out Bancroft, the most junior member of the Aussie team, to deal with the fallout - the equivalent of a CEO sending out the office intern to face the music as his company collapses.
What about your staff and stakeholders? – Arguably the biggest impact of the lack of strategy has been the collateral damage caused to anyone connected to the Aussie team – including the Australian public.
The lack of consideration for the gravity of their revelations now seems crass in the extreme. Other members of the Aussie team are said to be appalled by being dragged into the scandal, while there is national outrage at how it reflects on the country and population as a whole.
So, what was the thinking behind the 'ultra-honesty' strategy? Get your response in first? Avoid trial by Twitter? They might have hoped that by being so quick to confess all, the story would fizzle out and bank them some credit.
Hmmm. Within hours, the Australian Prime Minister was vehemently denouncing the team and appreciative nods for their botched bid for integrity have been starkly absent.
Openness and honesty, particularly when dealing with crises, are paramount. But so too is a sound crisis comms approach.
No comms team wants to get caught with its pants down.
News just in… Smith has been charged by Cricket Australia with making "misleading public comments regarding the nature, extent and participants of the plan". Almost like he could have done with some comms advice, you might say.

Math has always been the driving force behind evolution. Math is one of the oldest subjects, and the building block of science, physics, and astronomy, and much more.
What are the beginnings of math? The history of the subject dates back to Ancient Greece and Egypt. That is the period when humans were focused on exploring numbers, and how they can affect our lives.
This documentary puts the focus on numbers as well. Specifically, how numbers have helped our civilization grow and evolve over the years.

A new Dodge Data & Analytics report highlights the differences in perspective on risk mitigation between owners of a project and general contractors or trade contractors.
Owners feel the greatest impact from planning/scope changes, schedule changes and cost escalation, while GCs and trade contractors are more concerned about labor procurement and contractual risks (from how risk is apportioned directly by the contracts, to issues like warranties, guarantees, etc.). These varying perspectives on risk lead to differing priorities when selecting the best risk evaluation and mitigation strategies.
The report, Managing Risk in the Construction Industry, lists the top five risk factors to owners, GCs and trade contractors as Labor procurement risks/subcontract management, schedule changes, contractual specification of risk, planning/scope changes, and contractual risk (e.g. warranty guarantees).

I read this on Facebook but unfortunately cant do a link , My vet posted Valiant's story. Valiant is a seven year old male GSD who was in a home withy two other dogs when the owner dies. A neighbor fed the dogs by throwing food in to them and Valiant lost weight and was severely bitten. He is at the animal shelter in Chardon Ohio which is a no kill shelter. He is having a rough time in the shelter . He has severe separation anxiety and has damaged his nails trying to get out of his outdoor run. The first day he escaped from what they thought would be a more comfortable room and ended up in the parking lot visiting the other dogs in the outside runs.. He has arthritis and is healing from some pretty severe bites so he is limping right now. They are looking for a foster home with experience. I would take him but with Charlie reactive issues it would be a return to being beaten up and he needs calm and some time to relax and learn to be OK. The number at Geauga County Humane Shelter is 440-338-4819. His story is on Facebook under the Friends of the Geauga County Animal Shelter. If someone with better skills with computers then me can put up a link I would and so would Valiant appreciate it. Hope he can find a forever home where he can be Prince Valant.
Sending sincere wishes for Valient to find a loving foster or forever home... stories like this just tear my heart up!
It is the very first video.
Thanks Newlie I appreciate it.
Poor boy! I hope he finds a good home soon.

Little Free Library on La Amatista.
Photo Shannon Hogan Cohen.
"Take a book, leave a book." This is the phrase that is often seen on small, wooden birdhouse structures on poles that have been sprouting up across America. These colorful cabinets, filled with books of all genres, have reached every U.S. state and Canadian province plus seventy other countries around the world.
The program is called Little Free Library and it started in Wisconsin seven years ago. Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin, built a model of a one room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother, a former school teacher who loved reading. He filled it with books and put it on a post in his front yard. His neighbors and friends adored it. Todd built several more for friends and family and each had a sign that said FREE BOOKS.
Here in Del Mar we have three of these micro-libraries: one located on La Amatista, another at Del Mar Woods on Stratford Court, and a third on Mira Montana near Del Mar Hills. The miniature cabinets are stocked with books for anyone to take or leave, with no rules for return. This program is not designed to replace or challenge the Del Mar Library and its resources. The Little Free Libraries function as a complimentary neighborhood book exchange, and they are a wonderful way to promote not only literacy in our community, but friendliness as well. These little libraries can be a fun yet unique way to inspire community participation and a great opportunity to talk fiction (or nonfiction) with your neighbors.
Little Free Libraries may be purchased already assembled from the organization's website, or can be handcrafted to reflect the personality of the owner. For example, the little library on La Amatista was custom built by Robin Khoury's father, to resemble the Del Mar Library. Robin and her children experience excitement every time a new book is left or taken. Robin learned about these micro-libraries from Kate Zimmer, the Little Free Library steward on Stratford Court who themes her book inventory according to the time of year.
I have been inspired by Robin and Kate and what the Little Free Library movement represents. Look for a birdhouse-like structure filled with both trendy and timeworn books popping up soon on Luneta Drive.
To learn more about the Little Free Library visit their website at www.littlefreelibrary.org.


Kathryn enjoyed her experience in Thailand. Prior to the in-class course, she never taught English and saw a quick development during her training. She is now confident to start working as an ESL teacher in Thailand and around the globe.
I was able to become better acquainted with what the exact nature of my future role as a teacher will be within the classroom, as well as what the roles of my students will be. I was also able to ascertain some knowledge on how to evaluate a student's knowledge of the English language in addition to the specific ways that a teacher can help a student to learn.In this unit we have learned how to deal with the most common problem situations that teachers could face in the classroom. These difficulties can occur during the first lessons, with students of different levels, large classes, reluctant students and so on. There are several ways to overcome these obstacles, among them, common sense and our love for teaching.


Here is an excellent post by David Bayly on God's providence and why we should recognize it.
David is right when he says even pagans interpret providence. Last spring, when an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded, some militant environmentalists celebrated it by saying things like "god is a Democrat." (I think they mean the pagan goddess Gaia.) Read Rush Limbaugh comment here and here.
What is interesting here is that many of the same people who warn us against proclaiming God's judgment do not hesitate to recognize God's blessing. Pop culture is filled with these very messages, from songs like "Jesus take the wheel" to stupid email forwards that show up in our inbox from time to time. Why is it that those who warn against pointing out God's providence in judgment are silent when people praise God's providence in blessings?
That God often acts against His enemies is common all through Scripture. We see the story of King Nebuchadnezzar and the writing on the wall, God's punishment of King David's adultery with Bathsheba and God removing King Saul from power for disobedience. This continues in the New Testament, with God striking down Herod with a worm and killing Ananias and Sapphira for lying to the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul warns of the consequences of taking the Lord's Supper unworthily in 1 Corinthians 11:27-32.
It is true that we are fallible human beings and we may misinterpret God's providence. Our judgment is clouded by sin and we can often be wrong, which is not the case with the infallible and inerrant Bible. Therefore, we should be humble as we interpret events and the providence of God in those events. However, it is foolishness for Christians to abandon the doctrine of God's sovereignty in our lives when that doctrine is woven throughout all of Scripture.
We must also remember that not all suffering is a judgment from God. The book of Job is the story of a righteous man who is allowed to suffer but maintains his faith. The Apostle Paul has a "thorn in the flesh" that God declined to remove, saying that His grace was enough.
But Scripture is very clear that God judges here on earth for wickedness. The world hates this doctrine, and many Christians are afraid of proclaiming it for fear we will look like kooks. But that is exactly why we need to defend the doctrine of providence. Remember that Martin Luther encouraged us to defend Scripture at "precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking."

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Summary
#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 1 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Everything Is F*cked
Author: Mark Manson
Everything Is F*cked by Mark Manson Summary
From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope. We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it's ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn't even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness. What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it's Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn't—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the "subtle art" of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries. Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself. With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven't considered before. It's another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

Level Up Your Life by Steve Kamb Summary
In 5 years, Steve Kamb has transformed himself from wanna-be daydreamer into a real-life superhero and actually turned his life into a gigantic video game: flying stunt planes in New Zealand, gambling in a tuxedo at the Casino de Monte-Carlo, and even finding Nemo on the Great Barrier Reef. To help him accomplish all of these goals, he built a system that allowed him to complete quests, take on boss battles, earn experience points, and literally level up his life. If you have always dreamed of adventure and growth but can't seem to leave your hobbit-hole, Level Up Your Life is for you.

Within this guide, you'll follow in their footsteps and learn exactly how to: • Create your own "Alter Ego" with real-life super powers • Build your own Epic Quest List, broken into categories and difficulty levels • Hack your productivity habits to start making progress • Train your body for any adventure • Build in rewards and accountability that will actually motivate you to succeed • Travel the world freely (and cheaply) • Recruit the right allies to your side and find powerful mentors for guidance Adventure is out there, and the world needs more heroes. Will you heed the call?

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas Summary
ÊOn the 24th of February, 1815, the look-out at Notre-Dame de la Garde signalled the three-master, thePharaonÊfrom Smyrna, Trieste, and Naples. As usual, a pilot put off immediately, and rounding the Chateau d'If, got on board the vessel between Cape Morgion and Rion island. Immediately, and according to custom, the ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean were covered with spectators; it is always an event at Marseilles for a ship to come into port, especially when this ship, like theÊPharaon, has been built, rigged, and laden at the old Phocee docks, and belongs to an owner of the city. The ship drew on and had safely passed the strait, which some volcanic shock has made between the Calasareigne and Jaros islands; had doubled Pomegue, and approached the harbor under topsails, jib, and spanker, but so slowly and sedately that the idlers, with that instinct which is the forerunner of evil, asked one another what misfortune could have happened on board. However, those experienced in navigation saw plainly that if any accident had occurred, it was not to the vessel herself, for she bore down with all the evidence of being skilfully handled, the anchor a-cockbill, the jib-boom guys already eased off, and standing by the side of the pilot, who was steering theÊPharaonÊtowards the narrow entrance of the inner port, was a young man, who, with activity and vigilant eye, watched every motion of the ship, and repeated each direction of the pilot. The vague disquietude which prevailed among the spectators had so much affected one of the crowd that he did not await the arrival of the vessel in harbor, but jumping into a small skiff, desired to be pulled alongside thePharaon, which he reached as she rounded into La Reserve basin. When the young man on board saw this person approach, he left his station by the pilot, and, hat in hand, leaned over the ship's bulwarks. He was a fine, tall, slim young fellow of eighteen or twenty, with black eyes, and hair as dark as a raven's wing; and his whole appearance bespoke that calmness and resolution peculiar to men accustomed from their cradle to contend with danger.

A notable contribution to our understanding of ourselves. This book explores the realm of human behavior in social situations and the way that we appear to others. Dr. Goffman uses the metaphor of theatrical performance as a framework.

The $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau Summary
Lead a life of adventure, meaning and purpose—and earn a good living. "Thoughtful, funny, and compulsively readable, this guide shows how ordinary people can build solid livings, with independence and purpose, on their own terms."—Gretchen Rubin, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Happiness Project Still in his early thirties, Chris Guillebeau completed a tour of every country on earth and yet he's never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and focused on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who've learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It's all about finding the intersection between your "expertise"—even if you don't consider it such—and what other people will pay for. You don't need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris's key principles: If you're good at one thing, you're probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish—sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it's up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

Q: Perform a comparison in Ruby without using eval ["if", "2", "<", "4"]
How can I string these together and calculate whether or not they're true without using .eval()?
For clarification, the above is simply an array, and I need to manipulate the contents so as to evaluate if 2 < 4, which should return true.

A: You could try this for parsing your statements and composing them into something more complex.
def bool_parse(statement)
  op, left, method, right = statement
  left = left.to_i unless left["\'"]
  right = right.to_i unless right["\'"]

  case op
  when "if", "elsif"
    left.send(method, right)
  when "unless"
    !left.send(method, right)
  end
end

def compose(statements)
  correct = statements.detect do |s, v|
    bool_parse(s)
  end
  correct && correct.last
end

compose({["if", "3", ">", "5"] => 1})
#=> nil
compose({["if", "3", ">", "5"] => 1, ["elsif", "2", ">", "-1"] => 2})
#=> 2
