News from the IWG Board
The board was pleased with the great interest of candidates for the IWG board and has elected three new members. These were Hans Joachim Anders (second term), Annette Bruchfeld and Juergen Floege, who joined the Board meeting held in Budapest at the 56th ERA-EDTA Congress.
Scientific and Educational Interaction Day (SEID)
In 2019 the ERA-EDTA will organise, for the very first time, the Scientific and Educational Interaction Day (SEID): an exciting meeting which hosts educational lectures focused mainly on clinical issues, starting from diagnosis all the way to prevention and therapy. The event will also be preceded by the Satellite 'New Drugs in Kidney Disease Symposium' Symposium designed to be a fully educational experience with some 'industry focus'. The SEID and the 'New Drug' Symposium are scheduled on October 25-26, 2019 in Vienna (Austria).
IWG contributed in the creation of the Scientific Programme with the educational session on 'Systemic diseases affecting the kidney':
Extrarenal involvement in SLE and its impact on the outcome of pts with LN
Vladimir Tesar, Prague, Czech Republic
Renal involvement in AAV and its treatment
Annette Bruchfeld, Stockholm, Sweden
Anti-GBM disease with and without lung hemorrhage
Marten Segelmark, Lund, Sweden
Athens Winter School in Nephrology
In collaboration with the Hellenic Society for Nephrology and the Mayo Clinic, IWG will organis the 'Winter School in Nephrology; focus in glomerular diseases' on February 27-29, 2020 in Athens (Greece). Further details on programme and registration can be found by clicking here.
Updates from recent publications
IgAN/IgAV
Barratt et al (2019) KI Reports in press, Barbour et al (2019) JAMA Intern Med. 179:942
The PROTECT study is a phase III trial, aimed at 280 patients with IgAN, to compare combined AngII-RA and ET-A inhibitor with single blocking of AngII-R. The paper of Barratt describes how this study will implement surrogate efficacy endpoints. To facilitate risk stratification, 2 full prediction models, combining clinical and biopsy to predict disease progression have been described. This study of Barbour and colleagues made use of 3927 patients from different large multi-ethnic cohorts. This can be an important contribution to future clinical trial design.
Chen et al (2019) CJASN in press, Suzuki et al (2019) KI reports in press
In a large study of 1200 patients with biopsy-proven IgAN, it was shown that plasma levels of gal-deficient IgA1 (gdIgA1)/C3 was associated with the development of CKD (Chen et al). In a smaller study (10 IgAN, 20 IgAV), increased levels of both gdIgA1 as well as IgG autoantibodies against gdIgA1 were observed (Suzuki et al). Interestingly, these altered levels of autoantibodies were also observed in B cell cultures from these patients, and were not observed in patients with IgA-vasculitis without renal involvement.
Liu et al (2019) AJKD 74:15
A double blind phase II study has been performed with 60 patients with IgAN (proteinuria 0,75-3 g/d; EGFR >30ml) randomized for oral hydrocloroquine or placebo. Patients in the treatment arm showed a significant reduction in proteinuria. With the notion that reduction in proteinuria seems to become an accepted surrogate end point, this opens the way for further exploration of this antimalarial drug in IgAN, for which a lot experience already excist in the treatment of SLE.
Jarrick et al (2019) JASN 30:866
In Sweden a nation-wide population based study was performed concerning the mortality in IgAN. It was found that patients with IgAN had a 1.5 fold increased risk for death, both compared to the general population as compared to siblings and spouses. There was no increased mortality preceding the ESRD.
Aringer et al (2019) Arthritis & Rheumatol 71:1400
Recently the 2019 EULAR/ACR classification criteria for SLE have been published. This includes positive ANA at least once as obligatory entry criterion; followed by additive weighted criteria grouped in 7 clinical (constitutional, hematologic, neuropsychiatric, mucocutaneous, serosal, musculoskeletal, renal) and 3 immunologic (antiphospholipid antibodies, complement proteins, SLE-specific antibodies) domains. These weighted criteria will help in a better classification of patients.
Arazi et al (2019) Nat Immunol 20:902, Der et al (2019) Nat Immunol 20:915
To increase mechanistic insights into the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis, two separate studies have focussed on single cell sequencing of renal biopsies of patients with LN. Arazi et al concentrated on the immune landscape and isolated and sequenced infiltrating immune cells from 24 biopsies. They identified 21 subsets of immune cells, signs of local B cell activation and a clear IFN-signature in most of these cells. In parallel they looked at the urine sediment and observed a strong correlation in gene expression in these cells.
Within the same consortium, Der et al performed scSeq on renal cells of 21 biopsies of patients with LN. They identified an IFN signature in tubular cells. In parallel they investigated 17 skin biopsies form the same patients, performed scSeq and observed that also keratinocytes showed such an IFN-signature. Both studies open the way to new monitoring tools in addition to the renal biopsy.
Membranous Nephropathy (MN)
Fervenza et al (2019) NEJM 381:36; Seitz-Polski et al (2019) CJASN 14:1173
In the MENTOR trial, 130 patients with Membranous Nephropathy underwent randomization for either rituximab or cyclosporin. At 12 months, it was shown that rituximab was noninferior to cyclosporine in inducing complete or partial remission of proteinuria and was superior in maintaining proteinuria remission. Treatment with rituximab showed a faster and greater magnitude of decline in autoantibodies to anti-PLA2R.
Since different protocols of rituximab treatment have been used, xx et al compared different regimens of rituximab. Participants of the NICE cohort (infusions of 1-g rituximab at 2-week intervals) were compared with participants from the GEMRITUX study (two infusions of 375 mg/m2 at 1-week interval). At month 6, before any treatment modifications, more remission was found in the NICE cohort, which was accompanied by higher levels of circulating rituximab. It is suggested that the higher dose rituximab protocol is more effective in depleting B-cells and thereby prevent epitope spreading which is associated with remission of MN.
Sethi et al (2019) JASN 30:1123
While anti-PLA2R is an established marker of primary membranous nephropathy (MN), there have up to now been no reports of autoantibodies in secondary forms of MN. Using microdissection and mass spectrometry Sethi and co-works were able to identify Exotosin 1 and 2 as antigens in a substantial subset of secondary MN, especially patients with class 5 lupus nephritis, but also some cases with primary MN associated with autoimmune features. Exotosin 1/2 immune complexes were never found in patients with PLA2R antibodies, and the IgG subclass distribution of the autoantibodies differed. No circulating antibodies where detected.
Colucci et al (2019) Kidney Int 96:971
Colucci and co-workers had made the serendipitous finding that some children with nephrotic syndrome had increased amounts of IgM on the surface of their T cell. When studying this in detail they made a series of interesting observations. Increased T cell IgM was found only on patients with steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome, and not in those with established genetic causes or forms steroid resistant cases. When following steroid sensitive cases over time they found the amount of T cell IgM to be predictive of relapse. However, Increased T cell IgM was not correlated to total IgM levels or markers of acute inflammation such CRP. Rituximab treatment was associated with a reduction of T cell IgM, while relapse after such treatment was associated with reappearance of IgM on the cells. Biochemical analysis suggests that glycosylation differences might explain the binding of IgM to T cells.

All miniatures are hand crafted in New Hampshire!
Toy Soldiers are among the most appealing of all collectible's. In fact, early Toy Soldiers cast from lead have been found dating back to Roman times. Ours however, are patterned after those produced at the turn of the century. Our figures are 54mm or 1/32 scale. They are solid cast from a pewter lead alloy, primed with an undercoat and then hand painted by local artisans with high gloss, lead free enamel. Sets are then presented to you in custom heirloom boxes, which contain the historical description to each set.
Because of the many small, sharp parts, these sets are not intended as toys for small children. They are meant for collectors.
If you have any suggestions for new sets you would like us to make, feel free to contact us by e-mail. We would love to hear from you!!


Modesto, Ca - For only the second time this season, the Pirates went to 5 sets. Cosumnes River, whose only conference win was against MJC on 9/15, was on a mission. They came into the match with high energy and focus in this nail biter, back and forth battle.
Freshman outside hitter Denae Finney and libero Angel Nguyen had career making nights. Finney lead the offense with a career best, and team season best, 19 kills. Finney also turned in her first double/double on the season contributing 18 digs. Nguyen was a defensive beast, setting what could be a new school record in digs. Nguyen turned in 40 digs, which is not only her best performance for her career, but is a new Pirate record in the rally scoring era (stats only available since 2000). Setter Camrynn Loveall had her third double/double of the season with 18 assists and 11 digs. Middle blocker Taryq Mims added to the offense with a career best 4 aces.
Set one, the Hawks took a large early lead from which the Pirates could never bounce back. The Hawks went up 14-4 behind some tough serving. Pirates couldn't get their offense going, hitting negative (-.111). Hawks would take the set 25-11.
Set two went back and forth till the Pirates pushed ahead with a 4-0 run behind the serving of Sara Gonzalez, pushing the Pirates up 19-14. The battle went back to point for point. Pirates looked like they were going to take the set as they had set point 24-19. But the Hawks weren't going down that easy. They fought off 5 set points with a 6-0 run to pull ahead, 25-24. The Pirates got their composure back after a timeout called by coach Moser and won the set 28-26. Finney had her best set and lead the offense with 6 kills.
Set three was the same story for the Pirates as set one. Struggling offensively, the Pirates dropped the set 14-25.
The fourth looked almost as a thirdpeat for the Pirates, as the Hawks jumped ahead 10-3. Middle Blocker Alexis Rios came back to the service line for the Pirates and turned the tides. The Pirates went on a 11-1 scoring run, with help from outside hitter Shaye Spani stepping up offensively, with 5 kills. The Pirates took the set, 25-18.
Set five did not disappoint the fans. Point for point battle, neither team scoring more than 3 points in a row. The Hawks had the chance to win it all at 14-13 but dropped the match committing 3 hitting errors. The Pirates win 17-15.
Up next: Pirates set sail to Sacramento for Big 8 Conference play against the Sac City Panthers, 10/25/17, 6:30pm.


#DBHangOps 02/05/14 -- Justin Swanhart, Routines, and more!
how do you debug them?
Shlomi and Gerry to share horror stories!
What's the most realistic way to benchmark your own application to gauge your scaling limits?


Bring milk and broth to a boil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Slowly stir in cornmeal, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thick, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and olive oil. Season with salt.
NOTES: Wonderful. This is so decadent, you won't believe it's not terrible for you. We dressed it up a bit by adding in some sun-dried tomato puree, but it was fantastic on its own when I tasted it before the puree went in.


Can the Deteriorating World Condition Be Reversed?
At the Calvary Bible Church, we say "Yes". We believe the answer lies in promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, salvation by grace through faith, worldwide. Because of that conviction we have been supporting worldwide missions since our inception over 50 years ago. At the present time we provide partial support for 39 missionaries at home and abroad. We also support 16 mission organizations. Our mandate is the Biblical command, "Go and make disciples…" This command is the theme of our 49th Annual Missions Conference. We invite you to join us for the conference. You'll be blessed and encouraged to hear what God is doing around the world.

Jerry Wells came to Christ at age 16 and immediately got involved in small group Bible study and student outreach. His college years at Clemson University were a mix of student ministry and premedical studies, graduating in 1972 (BS, Pre-Med). After four years at Dallas Seminary (Th.M., 1976), Jerry spent ten years as pastor of Grace Bible Church, Gadsden, AL (1977- 1987) where missions was a major part of the ministry. And the church waited for the day when God would lead "one of our own" to the field as a vocational missionary. Jerry was to become that one.
You will not want to miss how God led Jerry Wells in his decision-making process to make the move to Romania.
In 1988 God led him to enter communist Romania as a clandestine missionary with Entrust. Basing in the Transylvanian city of Cluj, he devoted the next 28 years (1988 – 2016) to training and equipping pastors and leaders. He worked among diverse, evangelical denominations in Romania and the Republic of Moldova, as well as in Serbia and Ukraine.
In September 1997 Jerry wed the former Meda Lazar, and together they have two daughters, Lauren (1999) and Savannah (2002). The Wells family completed their ministry in Romania in June 2016 and relocated to Columbia, South Carolina. He and the family are looking forward to this next phase of their lives and ministries.

The time clock offers employees different options to clock in/clock out and access information from the touch screen display. Your employees can use the clock with the convenience of the fingerprint reader, swiping a proximity badge, optional key fob or entering a personal PIN, You can even setup secure door access or signaling via internal relay control.
The PayClock Online system has made things so much easier. I cut my payroll processing time by 60 percent. And our employees think the CloudTouch time clock is the coolest thing, they just put their finger on the sensor and it records.
We have had a lot of success with the CloudTouch time clock at the Atlanta Braves stadium so we will place a CT time clock at another one of our customer sites. The PayClock Online system has been a tremendous help as well.
Tracy Hessaway, Chief Financial Officer, AccuClean, Inc.
Easy to use. Cost for hardware was very competitive.
I feel very comfortable when doing the payroll and very confident that if I get stuck all I have to do is call Lathem.
Very user friendly. very straight forward.
We liked the system so far. We haven't had any issues and it works very nice.
Have been using for years!! Usually very reliable, weather can cause issues of course because of internet issues. Very user friendly.
I had lathem and we moved so we left the time clock at our old location. I tried a new company and don't like them. I quickly realized how easy Lathem was to use and how great their customer service is.
The online clock CT72 has been a huge improvement from our previous clocks and having the tech support that is quick to respond and help is industry leading.
Great product, easy to navigate.
Because I have already recommended you services to another business owner. It is a great system for businesses that have employees that work in the field and do not come into the office to punch a clock.

Florida Teacher's After School Job? White Supremacist Podcaster
Screengrab/ZEVO NEWS/YouTube
byErica
A 25-year-old Florida teacher uses her spare time to publish and otherwise promote white nationalist views.
According to the Huff Post, 25-year-old social studies teacher Dayanna Volitich spends her free time producing a white nationalist podcast, and in one recent episode, Volitich admitted to using her position to attempt influencing her students.
Via New York Daily News:
Dayanna Volitich, a social studies educator at Crystal River Middle School, bragged about teaching her ideology in the classroom — and getting away with it — during a recent episode of "Unapologetic," HuffPost reported Saturday.
"I've had a couple instances where parents were concerned," Volitich said in the Feb. 26 episode, under the pseudonym Tiana Dalichov.
Volitich goes on to explain that after one parent complained to the school principal, Volitich lied and said there was nothing to be concerned about:
"One, at the beginning of the year, emailed the principal over my head. 'I'm worried that your teacher, she's injecting political bias,' " the 25-year-old recalled.
She said that the Crystal River principal, whose school is about 70 miles north of Tampa, confronted her about the parent's concern and asked, "Should I be worried?"
Volitich answered no and the principal dropped the issue.
But the young teacher admitted on her podcast that in fact there was reason for concern:
In the same episode where Volitich described peppering curriculum with white nationalism, she appeared to agree with a guest calling on far-right listeners to infiltrate academics as teachers.
"They don't have to be vocal about their views, but get in there, be more covert and start taking over. That's what the left did," said Lana Lokteff, who has been described as one of the few, but very outspoken, women in the white nationalist movement.
"We have to take that institution back. Children are very important. Communists always knew that. They wanted the minds of children because that is the future," Lokteff said. "If we could have more teachers in those positions, that would be great."
Volitich then said she is one of those teachers.
"I'm absolutely one of them," Dalichov said.
According to Huff Post, Volitich either took down or made private the social media accounts in question, but in its report used screenshots and a downloaded podcast to showcase Volitich's views.

New Mexico's largest apple producer, Manzano Mountain Retreat, sells fresh cider and apples at its orchard in the eastern foothills of the Manzano ("apple tree" in Spanish) range, about 50 miles southeast of Albuquerque, in the heart of Cibola National Forest's turning leaves. Depending on the weather, this rustic country store on the secluded grounds of a popular retreat center sells jugs of perfectly tart-sweet cider—as well as Red Delicious, Law Spur Rome, Ozark Golden, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and more than two dozen other varieties of apple—from about mid-September to early November (Thursday–Sunday). You can easily combine a trip here with a visit to nearby Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, in the small town of Mountainair, which is also home to the historic Shaffer Hotel, a striking example of 1920s Pueblo Deco architecture with 19 simply furnished rooms.
As it twists and turns past ghost towns and dense forests, the Geronimo Trail National Scenic Byway provides a breathtaking route into the immense and untrammeled Gila Wilderness. Sycamore, walnut, maple, ash, cottonwood, alder, and willow trees provide a kaleidoscope of fall color in canyons and along streams and portions of the Gila River. Ideally, allow a couple of days to fully explore this 154-mile route, or simply tackle one of the trail's two main prongs, each easily reached from I-25, in a single day. You access the northern arm at Exit 83 off I-25, just north of Truth or Consequences, where you can stop by the Geronimo Trail Visitor Center. Head west on N.M. 52, following the route used by early miners into a landscape once abundant with silver and other prized ores. Be sure to stop at the two neighboring, so-called ghost towns along the route, Winston and Chloride (don't miss the latter's Pioneer Store Museum). Down by Caballo Lake State Park, you can pick up the lower, more frequently traveled arm of the Geronimo Trail. N.M. 152 retraces some truly spectacular, sharply winding sections of an old stage-coach line on the way to bustling Silver City, passing through the funky old mining villages of Hillsboro and Kingston, each with a smattering of diversions. Stop for a burger or green-chile tamales, and admire the local art and memorabilia, at Hillsboro General Store Cafe, which has served the community continuously for more than 130 years. The very inn that once housed miners at the turn of the 20th century, the Black Range Lodge—with its dramatic stone walls and beam ceilings—has seven rooms offering impressive panoramas of the Black Range Mountains. The sweeping views of dense pines spotted with honey-hued aspens along this part of the route are memorable, especially as the road rises and twists sharply west of Kingston.
The mountain resort town of Ruidoso, high in the Sacramento Mountains, is an ideal spot for a brisk fall stroll amid art galleries and one-of-a-kind boutiques, with dozens of them strung along the town's main thoroughfare, Sudderth Drive. A particularly festive time to visit, while leaves are in full fall glory, is during the Lincoln County Cowboy Symposium (cowboysymposium.org), a three-day gathering (October 11–13) at Ruidoso Downs popular with fans of Western lore, where you can shop for Western artwork, attend cowboy poetry and storytelling performances, and feast on authentic chuckwagon cooking. The contemporary Inn of the Mountain Gods, just southwest of town, affords stunning views of 11,981-foot Sierra Blanca peak framed by rippling Mescalero Lake. Take a seat at the resort's Wendell's Restaurant and Lounge and soak up the majestic view through the soaring three-story window. The scenery in this part of the state inspired artist Peter Hurd (who was, by marriage, part of the iconic Wyeth family of American painters). You can view works by Hurd, his son Michael, and other Wyeths at the Hurd–La Rinconada Gallery, in tiny San Patricio, about 20 miles east of Ruidoso. Several guesthouses are also available for rent at this historic arts ranch.
Before 1950, when beloved TV personality Ralph Edwards convinced local officials to rename the town for his popular game show, Truth or Consequences was called Hot Springs, and for good reason. You'll find no fewer than 10 bathhouses, many of them historic, in the compact downtown, where guests can soak away their stresses in pools fed by pleasingly warm, mineral-rich thermal springs. Situated at a scenic bend in the Río Grande, which skirts downtown on its way south from nearby Elephant Butte Reservoir, Riverbend Hot Springs is an especially inviting spot for a fall soak. The five public and three private pools are set among wooden decks and stone terraces overlooking the river and the willows, oak, and native cottonwoods along its banks, with Turtle Mountain in the distance. The groomed grounds of Riverbend, which also offers lodging, provide spectacular fall hues of orange and gold.


During my week of teaching I come across all sorts of repertoire and technique. These are my ramblings and teaching from the week which I'm categorizing as weekly technique tips. This week is a tremolo lesson around the intermediate to advanced level using Una Limosnita Por El Amor De Dios by Agustin Barrios as a possible example. Tremolo is often thought of as a tricky technique and to some extent it is but it should come naturally to a relaxed and well-trained hand. I didn't use any particular exercise today but if you're looking for a technique book you can check out my review of classical guitar technique and exercise books.
These weekly technique tips are really great! How you manage to get all this done is remarkable. So is your technique, but the most remarkable thing of all is your ability to teach well. It's been a bit over a year since I subscribed and donated to your work. Money well spent! I've developed a lot. Sometimes for me it's slavishly adhering to technical drills, sometimes trying to build even the simplest repertoire. Then there's my recent fascination with Flamenco. It's all good! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! Yes, it's a bit tricky to keep up so I have to improvise a lot. However, I'm going to try to keep this connected to my weekly teaching so it's not completely separate.
Great lesson. One thing that would be really, really helpful is much longer stretches of video for each of the patterns at each of the speeds. Playing along is a really great way to get a sense of the rhythm, but in the video above, each pattern ends so quickly you can't really get into a groove.

All of Sarah Wig is 100% human virgin hair.
A Keeper I bought this wig around the same time last year; wore it for a couple of months and threw it in the backup bag of wigs in my closet. First pic shows how it looked after combing out the kinks before washing. Next two pics is after it has been washed and conditioned. It did shed a little but not that much.

Not sure why the new rankings aren't out yet. Usually out Wednesday following fight week. Sorry fellas.
Moving forward, if picks are made early, you will not get that pick and you'll not be able to choose a fighter for that week. That's the penalty for jumping the gun.
I'll also challenge whoever has Aaron Hernandez to a 5k sidebet.
Sorry, Anthony Hernandez. Jolldan, 5k sidebet?
If I missed your fighter, please let me know.
@BART-O-LINI I want to sell Walt Harris who is currently ranked in top 15 but looks like he got suspended for taking some ****... How much am I gonna get if I sell him?
Camp stats are updated. I will correct rankings for fighters tomorrow and update camp values then.
No, and I dont even understand why you think you can.
@Rumbinyou are allowed to pick up 1 fighter per week as long as you have the funds.
@Bubba_Sparks and @JSW show me something in February. I'll auction off your fighters March 1st if you guys have no activity.
Would you like a 5k side bet Francis v Cain?
Damn, hearing Andrea Lee is dealing with the flu, but she said she's going to fight anyways.

Summary: Martin O'Boy lives in a distracted family. With a twin named Phil who has emotional and physical problems, a pregnant mother and a father who throws tantrums on a regular basis, the most reliable family member Martin has is his cat, Cheap. Paid to be in the boys choir at church, Martin and his friend Billy encounter a man named Mr. George who appears to be their friend but has more sinister intentions. After Martin has a traumatic encounter with Mr. George and his family is oblivious, Martin turns to others for help to stop the same thing from happening to his friend Billy.
Review: Martin is a boy growing up during World War II, and his family situation means that after his beloved grandmother dies he has to fend for himself. His friend Billy is in a similar situation living with a single mother with a father known to be crazy.
Unfortunately as children thrust into adult roles, they are both vulnerable when Mr. George starts paying special attention to Martin, and then Billy. Thankfully, when Martin realises what is going on he finds an adult he knows will listen, and Buz, a neighbour recently back from the war, protects the boys when needed.
It's a powerful and heart-wrenching read. I loved Brian Doyle's exploration of living with a special needs sibling, and the responsibility that comes with being the 'well' sibling. The relationship between Martin and his cat, Cheap, was my favourite part of the book. Doyle brings such life into Cheap, and truly captures the unconditional love between a boy and his pet. I was glad Martin had someone who loved and listened to him, because pets can be the best, non judgemental listeners.
Plus, if you look at my Memorable Quotes section, you'll read complete sections of Doyle's book. He has a way of putting things that I just had to repeat. The boys listening to the pipe organ, and the scenes between Martin and Cheap. They are incredibly vivid and touching.
Mostly though, I though Martin was pretty brave. Even though he was confused and ashamed of what happened between him and Mr. George, he still did his best to protect his friend by asking for help. And because of the close-knit community he lived in, there were other places he could go for help besides his parents. I loved it.
"Soon Mr. George is down at the organ. You can see him sitting down there through the slats in the wall. Now tiny notes start coming out of the smallest pipes, the little whistles, lots of teeny, high notes running up and down like pretty water falls or teensy rain tinkling.
Now the bigger pipes start paying, like bugles and car horns and the factory whistle at the paper mill. And the noise in the nearly pitch dark room is starting to hurt our ears.
Now it gets louder, and the notes get lower now and the bigger pipes are blowing and sounding like bulls howling and trains whistling and I can see the shadows of the summer boys putting their hands over their ears. Now the biggest pipes start to pound and bellow and rumble like thunder and crash and roll and explode like earthquakes and volcanoes and the whole room is shaking and vibrating and shuddering and the low notes are coming up our legs and into our hearts and boiling into my brain until my whole body is shaking and I'm falling apart and the door cracks open and the room comes tumbling down behind us.
All of a sudden everything stops. The silence is ringing away.
"I think Cheap wants to be a human, a person, instead of being just a cat. I think he'd like to do the things that I do. I think he'd like to sit at the kitchen table and eat snap crackle and pop with me and maybe when he's half finished, reach over and pull the sugar bowl to him and put some extra sugar in his bowl.
And sometimes when he looks at Phil I think he'd like to tell Phil to quit ruining everything all the time.
"After a while I go down Cobourg and to my house at 3 Papineau. I stand at the door. I don't want to cry. I'll show my mother my knee but I won't cry. I'll tell her about fighting after choir. She'll see my knee and take care of it.
I open the door. The door to the house where I don't want to live.
"'He only cares about you because you're the one who fees him,' my father says, putting on his hat to go to work.
No, that's not true. He loves me. I can tell when I talk to him and he closes his eyes. Squeezes them shut. Like he's having a good time.
My father slams out the door.
He doesn't even notice my slashed knee.
Cheap is staring up at me.
I pick him up and he gives me a little purr.
'You're not a joke,' I say to him and give him some more bacon.

The development of a strategic plan for Maracay´s ECOPARQUE entails the design of a landscape project with recreational, sports and ecological interests, as well as its integration with the environmental and urban surroundings. It includes the social and educational activities necessary to guarantee the best use of the park and encourages the formation of strategic alliances for the implementation of such activities.
The project promotes Maracay as a green and sustainable city through a the design of a park that complements areas for sports and recreational use with ecological and social programs. In addition to the play fields, play grounds and walkways, the park incorporates a water treatment plant, an environmental awareness path, an energy parks and a recycling center.
The Metropolitan Park recognizes the Maracay River as part of a "Biological Corridor" between Valencia Lake and the Henry Pittier National Park, that forms a system of green areas and public spaces for the City of Maracay.


Ruby is a dynamic, expressive and flexible language. To achieve programmer happiness Ruby has a large standard library. And, if you use Rails, the standard library is even bigger. There are many ways to do things with Ruby. This is often what draws programmers to it in the first place.
However, as a project grows in size and complexity, more structure is required in order to manage it. Structure must be added at multiple levels of abstraction: syntax, testing, project structure as well as framework and language usage. Most of these facets can be improved by tooling.
Does the project allow trailing whitespace? Does it use self::some_method, self.some_method or both for class method definition? Does it allow method params to be defined without parentheses?
In isolation these decisions are trivial, which is why you should set a standard and stick to it throughout the codebase. Inconsistent syntax makes code hard to read and causes pointless arguments in code reviews.
To avoid all this, install Rubocop and have it run during CI. Pick a sensible set of styles or stick with Rubocop's default configuration.
Code coverage tools should be used to maintain high code coverage. Whatever your desired coverage (why not 100%?) you should use a tool to ensure that coverage doesn't drop. Use something like SimpleCov and add it to CI. If you're using SimpleCov, I recommend setting the SimpleCov.refuse_coverage_drop option to prevent PRs from lowering coverage. That way, coverage will increase overtime.
Consistent project structure is very important. For example, if a project uses service objects you don't want new developers adding logic to the models. Or if you implement the strategy pattern, future developers should continue using the pattern when adding new behaviour. Unfortunately, these things are difficult to enforce automatically. But, there may be tools out there that I haven't discovered - please tell me if you know any.
The best way to maintain a good and consistent project structure is through pull request reviews and pair programming.
Lastly, there are tools like rails_best_practises that give you language and framework suggestions. rails_best_practises won't improve high level design but it will find law of demeter violations or tell you not to use default scopes. I find rails_best_practises invaluable for writing clean and performant rails code.
Make use of all the great Ruby community tools. Add them into CI so that PRs all follow the same high standards.


In general, the Dutch do not work a lot with dollars and creditcard How are our brains fooled by money and how is our behavior manipulated by money. In such a contract, you lock up your money or your ability to get at it, and bad decisions aren't even on the table because you don't have the ability to give in to temptations. A lot of cultural references to help break up the subject matter and bring it down to casual reader levels. The result not only reveals the rationale behind our most head-scratching financial choices but also offers clear guidance for navigating the treacherous financial landscape of the brain. Now that ebooks are or seem free, the cost of a movie seems relatively enormous. Whether you're are already initiated to the subject of social psychology, behavioral economics, etc my case or not, this book has something for you. Why is paying for things painful? Like the way we react to framing.
The theme of this book is not to make you spend less money, or live a frugal life but to make sure you make an informed decision and value compare the elements of a purchase that are important and not just elements that are comparable. Fascinating, engaging, funny, and essential, Dollars and Sense is a sound investment, providing us with the practical tools we need to understand and improve our financial choices, save and spend smarter, and ultimately live better. It could do with less dad jokes and wife jokes, and is repetitive of a lot of points. Together Ariely and Kreisler reveal the emotional forces working against us and how we can counteract them. What if we looked at the wardrobe we were going to replace for the winter and we calculated how many tanks of gas or bicycle repairs or days off work it would cost? The stories shared increase the spicy tone of the teaches I'm pretty sure these come from Jeff.
There is very little reference to research and what there is has been covered in the other books. Our decisions about money, it turns out, are very sensitive to the last number we thought about right before that decision, our self-concept, and which category we put the money in. Although many of the book's key notions are recycled from Dan Ariely's previous works e. Then the chapters after give tips. In Dollars and Sense, world renowned economist Dan Ariely answers these intriguing questions and many more as he explains how our irrational behavior often interferes with our best intentions when it comes to managing our finances.
For years, his favorite cereal was Optimum Slim. He explains why we—yes, you and I, and everyone—are not rational when it comes to managing our own money. The solution to all this temptation and irrationality is to control your environment, getting rid of opportunities to make bad decisions as much as possible. Besides being well-researched and very practical, this book is hilarious! In my diary, I have estimated how much further I will have paid down my mortgage if stick to the plan at the end of each month, and have written a dollar figure there as a reference. The authors warn against borrowing the PowerPoint progress report from work to document progress on household chores. Finally, the book describes for 90% the behavior.
Because once we stop laughing at how irrational people are, we realize that those people are us. It's not a how-to, nor is it a paint-by-numbers system. This book, which came out in 2017, gives an alternative look at the way we think about money- mainly the irrational mistakes that our brains make when thinking about such an important and sensitive subject. Together Ariely and Kreisler reveal the emotional forces working against us and how we can counteract them. In Dollars and Sense, bestselling author and behavioral economist Dan Ariely teams up with financial comedian and writer Jeff Kreisler to challenge many of our most basic assumptions about the precarious relationship between our brains and our money. His studies had helped me to make better decisions everyday, based on what is important for me, and not for the aceptance of others. There was a kiddie coaster of emotions.
This has actually cut down my spending and increased my reading more than what I anticipated, and without the pain of paying I actually enjoy reading a lot more than I'd come to with the Kindle. I usually like Dan Ariely's works, and while I did learn some things from this one, it didn't grab me the way his previous books did. This is a serious, useful book with a sense of humor usually bad puns, but the authors keep it moving. In a nutshell,the author tries to show how our cognitive biases tend to affect our daily financial judgements and decisions. It is the hope of the authors that by becoming aware of the ways in which you're likely to behave irrationally, you can out in place safeguards not only to minimise your risks of being stupid with money, but also to maximise the pleasure you get out of money.
The gap is filled with long anecdotes, some contrived, some purportedly true. And it all begins with the very simple fact that: Whenever money is added to any decision, it gets more complex. Why are we comfortable overpaying for something in the present just because we've overpaid for it in the past? Mixing case studies and anecdotes with tangible advice and lessons, they cut through the unconscious fears and desires driving our worst financial instincts and teach us how to improve our money habits. In doing so, they undermine many of personal finance's most sacred beliefs and explain how we can override some of our own instincts to make better financial choices. Summary Shares anecdotal insight into the illogical influences behind poor financial decisions and how to outmaneuver them, covering topics ranging from credit-card debt and household budgeting to holiday spending and real estate sales.
His new book, , authored with comedian Jeff Kreisler, makes it more personal. Emotions play a powerful role in shaping our financial behavior, often making us our own worst enemies as we try to save, assess value, and spend responsibly. Even the mildly sarcastic interjections are well-read, with just a hint of audible devilishness by the narrator. I did that just the other day. We think of money as numbers, values, and amounts, but when it comes down to it, when we actually use our money, we engage our hearts more than our heads. And that brings it back to the most fundamental, human level of existence: the amount of time we have and the choices we make on this Earth.

Easington is a village in the Loftus civil parish and is part of the North York Moors National Park. It is in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland, North Yorkshire, England. The village is situated on the A174 road,  east of Loftus,  east of Guisborough and  north-west of Whitby

History
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Earl Hugh of Chester and having 34 ploughlands. The village name derives from the Old English Esa-ingtūn; literally the farm or settlement of Esa's people. Historically the name has been spelt as Esingeton and Esington.

Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, the village was transferred to the new county of Cleveland in 1974. Cleveland was returned to North Yorkshire in 1996. The village is in the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland. Originally, the estate of Easington and Boulby had its manorhouse at the eastern end of the village. In 1799, a new estate was purchased to the south and a new manorhouse, in what is now Grinkle Park, was built in 1802. The old manorhouse had a moat built somewhere between 1250 and 1350. the site is now part of a working farm, but is remains a scheduled ancient monument.

All Saints Church, a Grade II listed building was built in 1888–89 by C. Hodgson Fowler in Decorated style, largely with bequests from the Palmer family of Grinkle Park, and incorporated fragments and remains of the previous church. The side chapel and several of the furnishings are by 'Mousey' Thompson of Kilburn.

The public house, the Tiger Inn, was previously a building of the same name at the opposite end of the village.

A railway station on the Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway opened in 1883 as Easington. Its name was changed to Grinkle after the local house and seat of the Palmer Baronets of Grinkle Park in 1904. The renaming avoided confusion with the station at Easington, County Durham also on the North Eastern Railway. The station closed on the eve of the Second World War and never re-opened although the line remains as a freight only railway to Boulby Mine.

At the 2011 census, the village had a population of 923. The village will be on the route that cyclists will race through on the 1st stage of the 2020 Tour de Yorkshire. The stage will start in Beverley, making its way up the Yorkshire Coast before finishing in Redcar.

Palmer Baronets
The Palmer Baronets, of Grinkle Park in the County of York and of Newcastle upon Tyne, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 31 July 1886 for Charles Palmer, a coal and shipping magnate and Liberal politician.

National Party petitions for road projects miss point | Will New Zealand Be Right?
Last year the New Zealand road toll went up by a bit more than 1 person on average every day. 379 people lost their lives over 365 days. Some were cases of speeding. Some were cases of drunk driving causing death. Some were cases of people being on the wrong side of the road.
Whatever the cause of their deaths, the toll on their families, on New Zealand as a nation and on the police, the fire and ambulance services that had to attend the crashes is dreadful. Someone has to scrap the remains of deceased humans off the road. Someone has to go to the next of kin of the deceased or contact them by phone to say their loved one has died in a road crash. An investigator has to go to wherever the damaged cars were taken to examine the damage to them.
It is playing questionable politics to think that this can be solved by building new roads. Yes it is true that some of our roads are in not that great condition. But it is rather deceiving to be claiming as the Young Nats (the youth wing of the National Party)are doing, that by not pursuing their roading projects, the new Government is missing an opportunity to address the surging road toll.
The simple fact of the matter is, you can spend billions on road projects as National proceeded to do, but great looking roads do not – and will not – fix crap driving decisions. Only the individual driving the car/s involved in a smash can fix poor judgement by learning from their mistakes. If you are driving, you leave a two second driving gap between you and the car in front. If you are driving in wet conditions or visibility is bad, you double the length of time you need to leave between you and the car in front.
None of that is rocket science. None of that is even science.
But it is in the Road Code.
To some extent this is deliberately deceitful in that, the New Zealand Young Nats are not silly. They know full well what their message is saying, but they also know just as well that their message is pulling blue wool down over people's eyes.
Law changes may help address the road toll, such as a revision of the demerit point scheme which I have described in earlier posts. So will alcohol locks in the cars of convicted drunk drivers that prevent the vehicle from being driven should the locking device detect alcohol.
Most people know better than to drive drunk. And some of you – including myself – have stopped drunks from driving.
But none of these involve building roads. None of these involve the expenditure of billions of dollars of tax payer money on pet projects that only serve a few, cause considerable environment damage and in the worst case scenario may wind up being a big white elephant.
So spare me the crap about how your roading projects will cut the death toll. Last I looked even the newest and straightest bits of road are capable of having crashes on them because the driver/s involved were not driving to the conditions and/or paying attention.

I have a beach club in Pescara (Italy) and it is open all summer this year. It is a beautiful place, especially in summer. I spent a lot of time there and I combined business with pleasure.
I don't have problems with jet lag. I have always been pretty lucky because I can sleep on a plane. This helps me to avoid jet lag and I can get used to the new time zone easily.
Austin is the race I am looking forward to the most. I haven't been there yet but the layout and the city seem to be very exciting and interesting.
Driving anti-clockwise means that you have to prepare your neck muscles in a different way. There are not many circuits on the calendar like Interlagos with a different driving direction, so you have to get used to it on the first laps. It can be quite hot in Brazil, so you need to have a really good fitness level to drive there.
How do you keep fit for the races? Which sports do you do and like?
I go to the gym every day and I do a lot of different sports like football, tennis or swimming.
I listen to R&B and house music.
I don't have superstitions anymore. But I used to wear my special racing underpants in the past.
My wife is coming to some races because she loves racing.
I am Italian, so my favourite food is pasta and pizza, of course!
I didn't think I would become anything else but a racing driver. If I wasn't racing I would be involved in another professional sport.
Lotus Praga LMP2 wins the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
My goals and wishes are to win some races in FIA WEC.

Q: WebClient hangs until timeout I try do download a web page using the WebClient, but it hangs until the timeout in WebClient is reached, and then fails with an Exception.
The following code will not work
WebClient client = new WebClient();
string url = "https://www.nasdaq.com/de/symbol/aapl/dividend-history";
string page = client.DownloadString(url);

Using a different URL, the transfer works fine. For example
WebClient client = new WebClient();
string url = "https://www.ariva.de/apple-aktie";
string page = client.DownloadString(url);

completes very quick and has the whole html in the page variable.
Using a HttpClient or WebRequest/WebResponse gives the same result on the first URL: block until timeout exception.
Both URLs load fine in a browser, in roughly 2-5 seconds.
Any idea what the problem is, and what solution is available?
I noticed that when using a WebBrowser control on a Windows Forms dialog, the first URL loads with 20+ javascript errors that need to be confirm-clicked. Same can be observed when developer tools are open in a browser when accessing the first URL.
However, WebClient does NOT act on the return it gets. It does not run the javascript, and does not load referenced pictures, css or other scripts, so this should not be a problem.
Thanks!
Ralf

A: The first site, "https://www.nasdaq.com/de/symbol/aapl/dividend-history";, requires:

*

*ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

*ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback

*A set User-Agent Header

*A CookieContainer is, apparently, not required. It should be set anyway.

The User-agent here is important. If a recent User-agent is specified in the WebRequest.UserAgent, the WebSite may activate the Http 2.0 protocol and HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security). These are supported/understood only by recent Browsers (as a reference, FireFox 56 or newer).
Using a less recent Browser as User-agent is necessary, otherwise the WebSite will expect (and wait for) a dynamic response. Using an older User-agent, the WebSite will activate the Http 1.1 protocol and never HSTS.
The second site, "https://www.ariva.de/apple-aktie";, requires:

*

*ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

*No Server Certificate validation is required

*No specific User-agent is required

I suggest to setup a WebRequest (or a corresponding HttpClient setup) this way:
(WebClient could work, but it'd probably require a derived Custom Control)
private async void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    button1.Enabled = false;
    Uri uri = new Uri("https://www.nasdaq.com/de/symbol/aapl/dividend-history");
    string destinationFile = "[Some Local File]";
    await HTTPDownload(uri, destinationFile);
    button1.Enabled = true;
}

CookieContainer httpCookieJar = new CookieContainer();

//The 32bit IE11 header is the User-agent used here
public async Task HTTPDownload(Uri resourceURI, string filePath)
{
    // Windows 7 may require to explicitly set the Protocol
    ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
    // Only blindly accept the Server certificates if you know and trust the source
    ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (s, cert, ch, sec) => { return true; };
    ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 50;

    var httpRequest = WebRequest.CreateHttp(resourceURI);

    try
    {
        httpRequest.CookieContainer = httpCookieJar;
        httpRequest.Timeout = (int)TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15).TotalMilliseconds;
        httpRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
        httpRequest.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;
        httpRequest.ServicePoint.Expect100Continue = false;
        httpRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla / 5.0(Windows NT 6.1; WOW32; Trident / 7.0; rv: 11.0) like Gecko";
        httpRequest.Accept = "ext/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8";
        httpRequest.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.AcceptEncoding, "gzip, deflate;q=0.8");
        httpRequest.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.CacheControl, "no-cache");

        using (var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)await httpRequest.GetResponseAsync())
        using (var responseStream = httpResponse.GetResponseStream())
        {
            if (httpResponse.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK) {
                try {
                    int buffersize = 132072;
                    using (var fileStream = File.Create(filePath, buffersize, FileOptions.Asynchronous)) {
                        int read;
                        byte[] buffer = new byte[buffersize];
                        while ((read = await responseStream.ReadAsync(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
                        {
                            await fileStream.WriteAsync(buffer, 0, read);
                        }
                    };
                }
                catch (DirectoryNotFoundException) { /* Log or throw */}
                catch (PathTooLongException) { /* Log or throw */}
                catch (IOException) { /* Log or throw */}
            }
        };
    }
    catch (WebException) { /* Log and message */}
    catch (Exception) { /* Log and message */}
}

The first WebSite (nasdaq.com) returned payload length is 101.562 bytes
The second WebSite (www.ariva.de) returned payload length is 56.919 bytes

A: Obviously there is a problem with downloading that link (incorrect url, unothorized access, ...), however you may use Async Method to solve the socking part:
  WebClient client = new WebClient();
  client.DownloadStringCompleted += (s, e) =>
  {
       //here deal with downloaded file
  };
  client.DownloadStringAsync(url);


Truth and Beauty: The Pre-Raphaelites and the Old Masters is the first major exhibition to juxtapose examples by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with works that inspired its members, including Italian old masters Fra Angelico and Pietro Perugino and their Northern contemporaries Jan van Eyck and Hans Memling. It reveals how the Brotherhood's aesthetic evolved over time to embrace artistic influences from the High and late Renaissance, such as Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, and Veronese. It also offers a rich multimedia opportunity to examine the artists' attraction to stained glass, domestic decorations, and sixteenth-century textiles.
The exhibition runs from June 30 - September 30, 2018 at the Legion of Honor, Lincoln Park, 100 34th Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94121.

That Time I Shot and Posted a Video to Instagram and It Became a Beat
Last week, a few of my friends and I went on a tour of four breweries in the Hudson Valley. At Plan Bee Farm Brewery in Poughkeepsie, they had a cornhole set up and a basketball court on the side of their building.
It was a cold day—somewhere in the low 30s—and the cornhole board was put away, resting against the barn. Also, because it was the coldest day in memory, we were all bundled up in winter coats: our unacclimated bodies weren't yet used to 30° F.
One of us grabbed a basketball and took a few shots. I shot a few photos, and also a couple of videos. My friend Jackie, wearing a winter coat and boots, took a jump shot and made a basket. I had starting shooting just before she took the shot, and I stopped it after she walked away triumphantly. The video lasts all of two seconds.
I posted the short video to Instagram as a post. Over the last few months, I have really taken to posting Stories, but something told me this would be a good video post.
That time @being_jackie walked up, made the shot—wearing a coat and boots—and walked away like a champ! Also…more musical than an #808
A post shared by Juan Monroy (@juanomatic) on Nov 9, 2019 at 11:41am PST
Watch the Instagram video with the sound on. It should loop, and if you listen to it a few times, you should start to notice a beat. I hadn't noticed the beat until my friend Walter posted a video of my video playing with the sound on and looping. All the while, his girlfriend starts singing to the beat.
Saw Juan's video. One take.
A post shared by WALTER PLUFF (@walterpluff) on Nov 9, 2019 at 12:29pm PST
The song is one made popular by Sam Cooke, "Bring it On Home to Me."
It was one of the coolest things I have ever unwittingly and unknowingly participated. A lot of things had to go right:
Jackie's shot had to hit all of the things it did: first, it hit the basket and the rim. It also had to hit the out-of-place cornhole board and the concrete below. Also, our friend Ian had to affirmingly comment offscreen "there it is!"
The start and end points of the video had to be in the right spot. Remember that I shot and posted the video without any editing. Also, I'll confess that I forget that recording and posting videos to Instagram include sound. In my mind, I was shooting silent—or MOS, if I can use a term from film studies.
Instagram had to loop the video and maintain a low and consistent latency to keep the start the loop again without missing a beat—so to speak.
Walter had to have his Instagram app with the sound on. And he had to be in the room with his girlfriend within listening range to notice the beat.
Walter's girlfriend had to have a song come to mind and begin singing it.
The two must have had two iPhones nearby: one to play my looped video, and one to record her performance.
For someone who studies creative works all the time, but can't make anything to save his life, I am thrilled to have been a part of this. But all I did was having the right friends do the right things at the right time.

The Jobs Americans Do
Take some of the abundant leisure time that our post-industrial society has afforded you to read a series of nine portraits of working-class men and women in America, published last week in the New York Times Magazine. The article challenges the image of working-class jobs, which today are no longer in manufacturing as they were throughout most of the industrialized twentieth century.
The decline of the old working class has meant both an economic triumph for the nation and a personal tribulation for many of the workers. Technological progress has made American farms and factories more productive than ever, creating great wealth and cutting the cost of food and most other products. But the work no longer requires large numbers of workers.
But it's not as if there are not any jobs. As we've known for decades, the working-class jobs of today are in services: health-care, education, hospitality, transportation, and customer service. Not only have the jobs changed, but they faces so have the faces of the American worker. "The emerging face of the American working class is," as Binyamin Appelbaum succinctly summarized in the introduction to the article, "a Hispanic woman who has never set foot on a factory floor."
A different author writes each of the stories. On a personal note, I was thrilled to see that a college chum and fellow KCSB alumnus, Eric Steuer, penned one of the stories, about a customer service representative at Zappos in Las Vegas named Sandi Dolan.

My Friends Run Marathons
As much ado I make about riding a bicycle, I am in awe of runners. I can't run the 240 feet of a softball home run, which is why I swing for a line drive, so I admire my friends who run the New York City Marathon.
Living on the route in Long Island City, I get to celebrate and watch as nearly fifty thousand runners come through our neighborhood. After the marathon was cancelled last year due to Sandy, it was great to have the marathon return to our streets this year and to watch friends run today. Congratulations!
Cara posted a photo of her running clothes on Facebook so I found her in the crowd rather easily. She also looked for me and found me quickly. Thanks for the wave!
Michele was running her first marathon today. She finished with a respectable time, and I'm really proud to have seen her.
Sarah's former roommate Mario ran today. I saw him and recognized him, thinking he looked familiar. This was one of my favorite shots I took of today's marathon.
Steve was the only one who requested that we have something for him as we passed us. But he looked right passed us and didn't see us. We yelled his name, but he continued towards the 3:45 pace he was running. We didn't get to give him his orange slices. He ultimately finished at 4:46. He probably could have used those orange slices.
FMIG was once Steve's nickname. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you what it means.

Moving Day Rules
The consensus is clear. Helping a friend move from one apartment to another is one of the most generous things you can do. It always seems like one of the most unpleasant experiences in the world, even if most intracity moves only take a few hours. But since everyone recognizes the sheer unpleasantness of the moving-day experience, we've developed a few rules and truths about the process to make it more palatable.
The person who is moving must carry the heaviest items. These items include the mattress, which is not only heavy but incredibly awkward, the air-conditioning window unit, and table, and any large shelving units. This also include any flat-screen television set because if anyone is going to drop something like that, it should be the set's owner.
Your volunteer movers get a free lunch and maybe a few beers. I once took this to an extreme. I had a mid-morning move, and at the "old" apartment, I bought a bunch of bagels, smear, coffee, and juice for my four friends who helped me move that morning. I bought way too much and ended up with a surplus of food that, you guessed it, I had to move to the new place.
There's usually an MVP for the move. Almost without exception, there's someone who determinedly takes charge, moving a ton of boxes, or even grabbing the biggest and heaviest items. This has probably never been me.
Don't ask me to move you more than once a year. Moving? Yes, I will help you but only once a year. Otherwise, you can expect me to be "busy." However, I just broke this personal rule, helping a friend move in mid-February and again this past weekend.
Ask all of your able-bodied friends. Nothing has been more frustrating than to arrive at the move, and find that you're the only friend your buddy asked for help. This happened years ago, well before I moved to New York, and that move took about eight hours. Aside from my own moves, I had never been more exhausted than I was after this move. A couple of other bodies would have made it so much easier.
Of course, these rules really only apply for moves you volunteer to help. A few times, I have helped move friends who have paid me. Ordinarily, it feels unseemly accepting cash, but there are a few factors for making it acceptable.
One reason is because a friend can't participate in the move. One reason we all volunteer, other than to be of service to a friend, is reciprocity. I help move with the expectation that my friend will be there when I need to move. However, if a friend can't lift things, because of a bad back or other ailments, then they wouldn't be able to help with my move. In those limited cases, they have offered to pay me. One friend paid me to help them move for a different reason: neither she nor her boyfriend had a driver license. They needed me to rent and drive a truck for them. Although they didn't expect me to do so, I helped load and unload.
Over the years, the frequency of helping friends move has been declining. As we get older, we hire movers.
Lauren Elder Performs at Joe's Pub
Lauren Elder performed at Joe's Pub on one of my favorite days of the calendar: the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Although Lauren was in the Public Theater's and Broadway revival show of Hair, this was her biggest show to date. Here are some of the photos from this November 21, 2012 concert.
My favorite shot of the night is of an eyeline gaze between Lauren and her mother. Lauren's mother had came all the way from California to see the show, and her glowing expression of pride was really moving. Because Joe's Pub does not allow flash photography, I had to make do with two subjects in very different light, but I think the moment comes through.

A: Your XHR works fine. Your error is returned by the server running url.php.
A common issue is a bad .htaccess configuration, or your server is not ready and configured properly to interpret PHP.
Did you test browsing url.php normally? If POST requests are not being received, I don't see how GET requests would work either.
