Stanley has surpassed our expectations for this year – as outlined in work published in January. Today's Craftsman announcements and strong numbers have pushed SWK's skepticism index well below zero for the first time since 2003.
Investors are finally beginning to give SWK the benefit of the doubt for a strategy that we think has been working well for years.
Valuation now discounts improving returns on capital – but not by much, and targets that we believe SWK will break through easily over the next 12 months.
While 2018 consensus has moved up 6.5% since we wrote in January we think that the company will earn more than $9.00 in 2018 – so a further 9-10% upside revision/surprise.
We got a sense in early January that the company was much more excited by its Craftsman acquisition than the Newell Brands deal. Clearly that is the case with today's comments and the press release from Lowe's.
The return on capital dilution from the acquisitions last year is beginning to unwind, but the company still has significant earnings upside from returning to trend – which suggests normal earnings of $9.50 per share based on 10% return on capital.
Long term average return on capital – ignoring the negative trend – is 11.6%, which would suggest earnings power of closer to $11.00 per share (we are not suggesting that this is likely and do not need it to make a case to hold on to the stock today).
The company has raised full year guidance but we suspect there maybe a little lagniappe in that number – in part because of Texas.
Since 2012, SWK has beaten Q4 estimates by an average of 3.0% – Exhibit 1.
One standard deviation above normal is a reasonable target in this market – $200/share.
The risk is the love-fest – SWK is now the most loved stock in large-cap Capital Goods – this is generally a sell signal.
Overview – Continuing the SSR Industrials and Materials Way – From Reversion To Mean To Skepticism!
Stanley Black and Decker (SWK) remains one of the best examples of a stock specific research call driven by our "normal value" framework – both proving the value of the process and driving a good stock recommendation. Our methodology looks for good, historically reliable "reversion to mean" stories that are mispriced because they have deviated from their mean. We picked Stanley three years ago because of its consistent "buy-fix-integrate-improve" strategy, which allowed the company to grow its capital and earnings in what is generally a deflationary business – in other words, the fundamental overlay gave us confidence that the pattern would repeat.
The additions to the brands and capital base in late 2016 gave SWK ann opportunity to outperform by sticking to the method and model that has worked for decades. Our methodology initially led us to SWK and, despite a spectacular year to date, gives us confidence that it will continue to outperform.
SWK has a very strong history of buying bolt on businesses, growing its capital base, driving synergies and pushing return on capital back towards a trend that implies strong earnings growth and stock performance. With the exception of the foray into security, which in our view was a poorly advised "off-piste" move for the company, SWK has bought businesses that have expanded its core portfolio and then driven synergies and growth from these deals. While the company may have a negative slope to its longer-term return on capital, initially dilutive deals have been fixed, returning the company back to trend – Exhibit 2.
Exhibit 2 showed the issue clearly back in January as the sell side was quick to add the capital base to forward numbers but does not attribute the earnings opportunity immediately, and the current return line had a pronounced negative slope in January as forward estimates were too low (the return calculation is based on forward earnings and picks up consensus for the most current 12 months). Consensus estimates have risen through the year – in part because of the positive surprises shown in Exhibit 1, but they are still shy of the trend return on capital, and this is the opportunity. The Craftsman initiative may allow the company to close the gap quickly, and possibly begin to reverse the trend.
We expect the company to keep surprising to the upside, raising its dividend and outperforming as a consequence.
SWK is still under-earning versus history, though driving improvements to those earnings and heading back towards trend (Exhibit 2). After the performance year to date, the market is now pricing the company based on its normal (trend based) earnings rather than current. The stock is essentially at its normal value today – Exhibit 5. Skepticism work shows growing investor confidence – with the stock now discounting a return to normal earnings – this is the first time the market has shown real confidence in SWK since 2003 – Exhibit 6. Note that the valuation component of the analysis is relative to the S&P 500 and so accounts for the highly valued broader market. Obviously, the time to buy this stock was early 2016, but even at current levels we believe that earnings growth and overall momentum can carry the stock higher. One standard deviation above normal value today would put the stock at $200 per share.
SWK has seen positive earnings surprises in 2017 (Exhibit 1) and revisions have been generally positive (Exhibits 7 and 8). However, in our view, while forward estimates show growth they fail to recognize the opportunity created by the 2016 deals – 2017 may now be off only by one or two percent, but 2018 could still be off by more than 10-15%, as outlined above. None of these statements include any potential benefit from stronger US economic growth driven by potential stimulus policies, or lower tax rates.
As shown in Exhibit 9, SWK is now the most loved stock in large cap Capital Goods – which was not the case when we wrote in January. In general, you want to own a stock as the sell side grows more fond of it, but run for the hills once there is a full scale "love-in"! (See research.) We have a "love-in" today! The cautionary value analyst in me would say take the gains – but this is a momentum market and SWK has all the right levers today to keep the momentum going – maybe take half your profits!
If growth is peaking in Q3 2017 like it did in 2015 (Exhibit 10) then perhaps the upside from here is limited – if not (driven by the Craftsman initiative and better growth in the US), $200 is a reasonable target.

SAN DIEGO — The Colorado Rockies will add two young pitchers to their rotation this week, calling up Alex White and Christian Friedrich from Triple-A, according to multiple sources.
White will start for the Rockies on Tuesday and Friedrich will pitch as the starter Wednesday, both as part of a series against the Padres.
White was acquired late last season from Cleveland in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, but struggled in his call-up in 2011. He started this season with the Sky Sox.
Friedrich is a first-round draft pick of Colorado's and will make his major-league debut. This season was his first in Triple-A.
Jhoulys Chacin was recently demoted from the Rockies starting rotation. And on Monday general manager Dan O'Dowd said Chacin will delay his assignment to Colorado Springs because of health issues.


Representatives of the General Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar and Head of the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA), Fayez Al-Sarraj have held a series of meetings in neighbouring Tunisia to discuss the security situation in the capital, Tripoli, a parliamentary source close to Haftar revealed.
The source told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that Haftar now believes that storming Tripoli militarily is "impossible" after several Western countries explicitly warned him against the move and called on him to consult with the GNA on the situation in Tripoli.
"Italy, the UK and the US support a French-Russian proposal which is supported by several Arab countries to keep the capital Tripoli away from fighting under the protection of the GNA forces because it hosts sovereign institutions like the Central Bank and the Oil Corporation," the source said, noting that a recent meeting between Haftar and Al-Sarraj indicates that Haftar has "reluctantly" accepted the proposal.
In a joint statement on Saturday France, Britain, Italy and the US welcomed the agreements reached between Haftar and Al-Sarraj during meeting held in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi and reiterated their rejection of a military solution.

A: The way you divided up your lists already speaks to a way of doing it. Let $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ denote the elements of the answer. The number of compositions starting with $k$ is $\binom{N-k-1}{p-2}$. So compute partial sums
$$
s_m(N,p) = \sum_{k=1}^m \binom{N-k-1}{p-2},
$$
until $s_m \ge n$. Set
$$
a_1 = F(n,N,p) := \min\{m \mid s_m\ge n\}.
$$
Now repeat with
$$
a_{i+1} = F(n-s_{a_i-1}, N-a_i, p-1)
$$
for $i\in\{1, \ldots, p-2\}$. $a_n$ will be a slightly special (and easy) case.

EDIT:
I realized that we have the closed formula
$$
s_m(N,p) = \binom{N-1}{p-1} - \binom{N-1-m}{p-1},
$$
which follows from the identity $\sum_{j=k}^n\binom jk = \binom{n+1}{k+1}$. With this, we can actually do a binary search for $m$ to speed things up.

Let's say $N=7$, $p=4$, $n=5$. Compute
$$
s_1 = \binom52 = 10 \ge 5.
$$
So $a_1 = 1$. Repeat with $N=6$, $p=3$, $n=5$:
$$ \begin{split}
s_1 &= \binom41 = 4 < 5, \\
s_2 &= s_1 + \binom31 = 7 \ge 5,
\end{split}$$
So $a_2 = 2$. Repeat with $N=4$, $p=2$, $n=1$:
$$
s_1 = \binom20 = 1 \ge 1
$$
So $a_3 = 1$. Repeat with $N=3$, $p=1$, $n=1$. Clearly $a_4=3$ now. So the answer is $(1,2,1,3)$.

The institution's inventory of its sustainability research that includes names and department affiliations of faculty and staff engaged in sustainability research:
A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):
Data was extracted from the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) research inventory. In 2015, the Yale Office of Sustainability launched a project aimed at understanding how Yale's teaching and research aligns with the 17 UN SDGs. A group of interdisciplinary students (hereafter referred to as the team) uses an online form mainly composed of pre-populated fields to collect information on the research of the 4,400+ faculty at Yale and how their work relates to the SDGs. The basic review tactic is an audit of faculty biographies, websites, and courses taught. In some cases, a brief internet search may supplement information available on Yale websites. Information collected on each faculty member includes:
• Full name, net ID, title, email
• Primary appointment
• Secondary appointment (where applicable)
• Centers, Labs, or Programs (where applicable)
• Other Affiliations (where applicable)
• Specialties & Interests
• Website(s) (link)
• Courses (link)
• Connections to each of the 17 goals
Once the information has been entered into the form, it can be downloaded as a CSV file for analysis and to generate lists and spreadsheets. Full name, net ID, email, and primary appointment is determined by the Yale Directory. Secondary appointments, centers, labs, or programs, other affiliations, and specialties and interests is determined using faculty webpages.
In preparation for the research inventory data collection, each member of the team is required to develop a thorough understanding of the SDGs, including the narrative and targets that undergird each goal. For the purpose of STARS, we define "sustainability research" as faculty who have been tagged in the inventory as working on 1 or more SDG.
To collect information on research staff, the Yale Office of Sustainability uses the Yale Centers and Institutes list. This list is divided into three categories - Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences, Medical & Health Sciences, and Sciences & Engineering. Center and Institute websites are reviewed and staff members whose job title involves research related duties, including but not limited to: editorial staff, postdoctoral staff, specialists, programmers, analysts were marked as staff researchers. Job titles which were excluded were administrator, manager, coordinators, administrative assistant, director. The total number of research staff for the Medical & Health Sciences centers and institutes was provided by a previous review (2016) conducted by the Director of the Yale School of Medicine Faculty Support. This review uses a more comprehensive list of job titles including but were not limited to; technicians, biostatistician, laboratory assistant, research and development tech, research assistant, research associate, statistician. Sustainability staff are identified by a review of center and institute websites. If the center/institute is identified as relating to sustainability, all research staff are marked as sustainability staff.

'They've caused us so much hassle' - garage's anger at brazen ram-raid
Serious damage was caused to the Londis garage at Lady Lane Hadleigh when it was ram raided in the early hours of Friday, July 5. Picture: ARCHANT
Garage workers have spoken of their anger after audacious ram-raiders stole money from a petrol station, leaving a trail of destruction.
The Londis garage at Lady Lane Hadleigh was ram raided in the early hours of Friday, July 5. Picture: ARCHANT
The Londis/Gulf garage on the B1070 Lady Lane, Hadleigh had iron gated windows installed after a previous ram-raid - but discovered even those had been torn off the wall completely.
Staff were woken at 3am by police to tell them about the crime - the second in two years - after a white Nissan Primastar van was used to pull the wall away from the side of the garage.
Once inside thieves managed to steal cash from a safe, which was left behind at the property, leaving money strewn across the floor.
The vehicle made off before officers arrived, with no trace of the van when officers searched the area.
At 4.15am police received a further call following reports of a white Nissan Primastar van on fire in Gippeswyk Park, in Ancaster Road, Ipswich. Fire crews assisted with the fire and the van was recovered.
Harry, a key holder at the garage who asked us not to use his surname, said: "They've gained barely anything yet they've caused us so much hassle.
"We will lose a lot of sales as we've had to close the garage all morning.
"We had shutters put up along with the iron gates following the raid in 2017, so it's crazy that even with these precautions we've still come under attack."

The amount of money taken is unknown at this time, but a cordon remains in place while an investigation gets underway.
One Hadleigh resident, who asked not to be named, said: "This isn't the first time it's happened, so it's pretty crazy as the damage is awful."
Staff at the garage are now trying to find a builder to do some temporary repair work to keep the property safe.
Harry added: "The weekend is one of our busiest times, and we are really struggling to find a builder available to help move the rubble and board up the building."
The garage has now opened but only taking cash payments at this time.

A number of natural drinks and ingredients used in hydration beverages have been discussed, focusing on their effectiveness for post-exercise rehydration. Because of excess diuresis, complete, rapid, and sustained restoration of fluid balance remains a challenge. The most effective ingredient to promote fluid retention is sodium, although the possible merits of milk protein, creatine, and additional potassium were presented. Cultural preferences may lead some individuals to rehydrate with Roselle infu-sion, mineral water, or coconut water; doing so has been shown not to deter from the goal of restoring body fluid. Skimmed milk has been shown to be more effective than conventional sports drinks and water and may be a good rehydration choice in the absence of lactose intolerance. Furthermore, sports drinks with added milk or whey protein, which may be desirable to provide amino acids and help recov-ery, have been shown not to impair rehydration. The use of caffeinated beverages, although favored by many consumers and shown not to impair chronic hydration, remains more of an open question for quick post-exercise rehydration. Evidence was provided to show why regular beer is contraindicated when effective post-exercise rehydration is desired, together with evidence about the serious limitations associ-ated with the use of glycerol.

Kusy remembers just how tough Smith can be. It was in an Allentown tournament when they first met over 25 years a go. Kusy's team against Smith's team. Kusy's swinging a hot bat and goes 2 for 3 off Smith.

How F1 2017 Wider Tires Are Shaking Up Pitstops
How F1 2017 Wider Tires Are Shaking Up Pitstops product 2017-03-23 06:06:51 https://www.motor1.com/news/140006/f1-2017-wider-tires-pitstops/ Motorsport, f1, pirelli
Mar 23, 2017 at 2:06am
By: Jonathan Noble
F1's move to wider tires this season was motivated by the desire to make cars look better and go quicker, but it is not just on track that their difference is being felt.
For the bigger and bulkier tyres – 60mm wider at the front and 80mm wider at the back - have thrown a spanner in the works when it comes to not impacting on pitstop times.
The extra weight of the wider tyres, plus complications that come from the sighting and removal of nuts from inside the deeper rims, has made it more difficult to deliver the kind of consistently quick stops that had become the norm in recent years.
But teams haven't sat back and accepted things will be slower, because they are determined to not let any time slip away.
Setting the benchmark
Last season, it was Williams who came out on top in terms of delivering the fastest stops over the course of the season.
Its crew was fastest overall at 11 of the 21 races – with its peak showing being a 1.92 seconds stop at the European Grand Prix in Baku.
Sporting manager Steve Nielsen is immensely proud of the way his team went from one of the pitlane's most troubled teams to the benchmark squad in the space of two years – which is why so much effort has been made to keep its edge in 2017.
"F1 is fiercely competitive on and off the track – and I don't suppose for the moment that our competitors liked us being quicker than them, especially because we were a team that were famous actually for not being quick at pitstops," he told Motorsport.com.
"There wasn't much technical trickery in it. There was a little bit, but the big thing we changed at Williams was that we got the end user – by that I mean the actual crew – to talk directly to the people that were designing their equipment and designing the car.
"So it was the interface between their equipment and the car. And that was it really. If there was one thing we changed, it was that. And from that came a lot of benefit."
Wider consequence
Well aware of the effort needed to stay on top in the pitstops, Williams began preparing for the 2017 changes in the middle of last year.
It started with designing new equipment for the changes, and some early practice on a 2016 car with heavier wheels fitted. Actual practice stops began earlier this year when Pirelli released the definitive 2017 tyres.
Although the increase in tyre weight (a front tyre has gone up from 8.5kg to 9.5kg, while the rear is 2kg heavier – coming in at almost 12kg now) are not enough to slow things down from a strength perspective, there are other consequences from the changes.
Nielsen said: "A Williams pitstop involves 34 actions – so 34 things have to happen in the space of two seconds. And any one of those going wrong can stop you and delay the pitstop.
"Of those 34 actions, 12 are affected by the bigger and heavier wheels. There is an awful lot of stuff that isn't affected, but there are some things that are.
"For example – the wheel is bigger and heavier, the wheel nut, particularly on the rears, is further inside so it is more difficult for the gunman to get to. There is a degree of change to the equipment and technique that had to be developed to cope with that."
Problem areas
One of the issues that Williams thought would impact the speed of the pitstop was the wider 2017 rims meaning the wheel nut is visible for less time as the car comes in for a stop.
"It doesn't help," added Nielsen. "We were afraid of that before we started practising with the real kit. But that has actually not been as much of a fuss as we thought it might be.
"The limiting factor is actually the transition. From the moment the wheel is undone, it is getting that wheel off and putting the next one on. That is where we are seeing the extra time creeping in.
"It's because there are three people moving within a few centimetres of each other and this wheel is much, much wider than it was.
"So the clearances between the crew have to be more, they have to give each other more space and that adds a tenth or two. So it is more the transition of getting the old wheel off and putting the new one on, than it is about undoing the nut or doing it up."
Time target
The proof of the impact on time will not be shown until the heat of competition comes into play in Australia this weekend, but Nielsen says that early analysis from practice shows that there will likely be a noticeable difference on the stop watch.
For while there are times when the stops are as quick as they were last year, it is proving harder to deliver the optimal times as often.
"What we have seen so far is that the ultimate times that we were doing last year are still achievable, but there is just more of a scatter," he said.
"A very good pitstop last year was perhaps two seconds, or just under – 1.9 seconds. We can still hit those targets, but there is more of a spread down to the mid 2.4s, 2.5, 2.6s – more than we were seeing last year."
F1 2017 cars on target to be fastest-ever, claims Pirelli
Pirelli reveals tire choices for first F1 races of 2017
And with F1 perhaps heading to a season where one-stop races will become the norm – and overtaking may be easiest in the pits – it is the delivering at every stop that is key.
"Although it is very nice to do a 1.9 seconds pitstop, everyone talks about it, it is great, and it is a sort of badge of pride, the most important thing for us is the consistency," said Nielsen.
"So if you are doing four stops, there is no point one doing one at 1.9 seconds if the others are 3.5 seconds. I would sign now for them all being sub 2.5 seconds. It is consistency where it is at."
F1's focus on the stop watch won't only be revolving around the cars on track this weekend then, because the pitstop battle looks like it is going to be just as intense.

Q: Can we insert one SQL query inside another SQL query while using join? What I exactly want to do is like this:

*

*I have two tables, Table 1 has 2 columns A (statements) and column B (userids)

*Table 2 has columns G (username) and H (userids)

Column B and column H hold the same type of data (integer) but column names are different.
Output: I need to have both the column from table 1 i.e. column A and column B and column G from table 2 based on column H.
Basically, for every statement in table one it has corresponding userids, but usernames are there in table 2. So how can I map it. I know we need to write join here. but the concern is as below
Secondly, the trouble is table 1 is output of a select query . So can we input a select query as table 1 while writing a join?

A: These are called derived tables and are very common. The follow a pattern like this:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE1
INNER JOIN (
   SELECT *
   FROM TABLE2
) AS T2 ON TABLE1.COLUMN=T2.COLUMN

The inner join's SQL should be able to be run standalone to produce the records you expect for that "table".
The accepted answer to this question is a good example.

(+++) ANGST AND SELF-IMPORTANCE
The Chintz Age: Tales of Love and Loss for a New New York. By Ed Hamilton. Červená Barva Press. $18.
This Way Home. By Wes Moore with Shawn Goodman. Delacorte Press. $17.99.
There is no U.S. city as sophisticated as New York, and none as provincial. New Yorkers hold the first label dear and are deeply shocked at the second, almost unable even to hear it. Yet New York is a city so inward-looking, so focused on itself, that its residents are unaware of the accent with which they speak even though it is gratingly evident to others; it is a place so determined to be the city-of-cities that it looks at its own suburbs with disdain, as if living there is somehow a step below grinding out the meanest of existences in even the most rundown hovel that has those magical two words, "New York," as an identifier. The Chintz Age is for dyed-in-the-wool New Yorkers only; even New Yorker wannabes (there are some such) will not "get" all the glamor of squatting in flophouses, peering in other people's windows, witnessing cold-blooded murder, and crawling through abandoned underground tunnels. Ed Hamilton's collection of seven short stories and a novella takes off from the notion that the golden age, if there ever was one, is long gone; the gilded age has passed; everything is cheaper and somehow more tawdry now. Well, all right – this is scarcely an unusual notion, but it is a good enough basis for storytelling, although scarcely confined to New York City. Indeed, the changing ethos that Hamilton explores and bemoans is one that has recently received more attention in San Francisco and California's Silicon Valley than on the East Coast: the notion that advancement in certain material ways has undermined the "authentic" character of a city or region, displacing the people who created that "character" with faceless, upward-striving gentrifiers. Aww…poor little artistic types – forced to do more than hang out and pretend to be with-it, sophisticated, living a real and meaningful life…
These are precisely the sorts of people whose lives, limited by the blinders they have themselves created and that they wear willingly, Hamilton explores in The Chintz Age. "In short, Theo wanted out. Problem was, there was nowhere else to go, nowhere affordable anyway; to change apartments meant leaving New York, and that, for Theo as for most New Yorkers, would be to admit defeat." Readers must accept this mindset, expressed in these words in "Plagiarism" but pervasive throughout The Chintz Age, to make any sense at all of the book's characters and events. New York is simply the place, to the point that one story, "Rock of the Lower East Side," is about a man's obsession over his onetime life in a "squat" with a woman who, when he sees her years after they have split up, is likely using crack cocaine, "had lost some teeth and her skin had lost its luster, become dry, ashen. Same with her hair: in it's [sic] absurd eighties style it was frizzy and brittle. …No, they would have been happy together." The woman does not "stand for" the city – Hamilton writes small pieces about small people, not stories of metaphor and extensiveness – but her onetime lover's wholly unrealistic thoughts and beliefs about her are much the same as those of all Hamilton's characters, and apparently Hamilton himself, about New York City. Even the stories' venues emit New York provincialism: only people who know that "the Lower East Side" is a neighborhood with particular resonance for New Yorkers will be at all involved in this story, and only those who know what the first word of the title "Highline/Highlife" means in a New York context will be able to make sense of that sad fairy tale. The best story here, and the only one with a touch of mythic resonance that reaches beyond the constrained worldview of New Yorkers, is "King of the Underground," in which a mentally compromised resident of a rundown nursing home unexpectedly finds his way into the world outside and thence to a strange beneath-the-streets throwback of a settlement resembling "a medieval village or even a stone-age camp." Although set in Brooklyn, this story does not have to take place in New York City, and that is its strength. The rest of the book, however, is and must be set in New York, and while that fact will provide nostalgia-prone New Yorkers with some excuses for head-nodding and navel gazing, it will provoke only bewilderment or, worse from a New York perspective, indifference in people whose horizons are broader than those of New Yorkers.
Aimed at teenagers rather than adults, set in Baltimore rather than New York, This Way Home is an even grittier book than The Chintz Age, its concerns expressed without a haze of wishful thinking, its story determinedly told to elicit shock, anger, upset and an eventual feeling of possible – just possible – hope. So carefully structured as to be outright manipulative of the reader, the novel by Wes Moore with Shawn Goodman goes out of its way to tell readers that its events could happen wherever there are mean streets: "Elijah knew it wasn't as perfect as it seemed; if you scratched the surface, you'd find plenty of bad things. Alcoholic parents. Money problems. Divorce. The same as anywhere else." That list, early in the book, omits cold-blooded murder and extensive gang activity, but those turn out to be omnipresent, too. This Way Home is primarily Elijah's story: he is 17 and a high-quality basketball player, determined to use his talent and drive to succeed in the world. With his friends Michael and Dylan, Elijah plays through a local basketball tournament that he hopes will lead to much greater things – but this is not a basketball story, except incidentally. It is a story about friendship and betrayal, about finding oneself (a de rigueur element of books for teens), about trying to do the right thing when each and every possible thing seems wrong. This is a heady if scarcely unusual mixture, handled here by introducing a series of cardboard characters and predictable situations that nevertheless have impact because the book's events are presented in a hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners fashion that gives them the ring of plausibility. It seems there is a frightening and mysterious gang in the neighborhood called Blood Street Nation, which somehow has gotten wind of Elijah's abilities and wants his team to wear gang colors in the upcoming tournament. Deciding what to do and how to do it becomes the crux of the book: Elijah finds out how hard it is to do the right thing and what serious consequences ensue if you do it, and in the process learns more than he ever knew about his mother, his absent father, and his friends. Money and equipment, the meaning of "we've got your back" in a place where people get shot in the back, the discovery of what levers turn a friend into a traitor and what family really means – these themes and more occur and recur here. The gruff army veteran Banks, for whom Elijah ends up working at a series of increasingly difficult and improbable tasks, is so obvious a father figure that the initially unstated mystery of his background is scarcely a surprise when finally revealed; and Banks' daughter, Kerri, is so obviously a potential love interest – and bright and focused into the bargain – that she quickly becomes a more interesting character than the rather dull Elijah himself. Moore and Goodman seem to sense this: they pull her out of crucial portions near the book's climax and never let any romantic relationship develop beyond the hinting-at-it stage. The deaths and violence in This Way Home are carefully placed by the authors so as to teach Elijah and, through him, readers some lessons about life; indeed; the whole novel has a feeling of careful placement of characters and events, things arranged just so on a structural chessboard so that the authors can nudge readers in specific directions at specific times. There are effective scenes in the book, or parts of scenes, but This Way Home is too contrived and carefully managed to be as fully convincing and involving as Moore and Goodman want it to be: it comes across more as preachy than as demonstrative of the need to make hard choices, accept the consequences and find a way to move on in life.

Hosting a dinner for Syrian newcomers could make a positive impact on their integration into your society. It's hard to imagine what it has been like for them, but if you want to contribute but aren't sure how, a welcome dinner could be the perfect place to start!
By hosting them in your home, you can create a sense of community, providing them with an inviting and warm welcome into your city. You can also educate them on Canadian culture and customs, what Toronto has to offer, and encourage them to try new foods that you have prepared (being mindful of their dietary restrictions). It's at the dinner table where connection happens and friendships develop.
As the host, you will be responsible for preparing a meal – in the sign up form, we will be asking them what dietary restrictions they have e.g. vegetarian, halal, no alcohol, etc. This information will be communicated to you. But the idea is for you to prepare a meal that accomodates their dietary needs while still preparing something that is local or is typical fare in your household.
It is most likely that their level of English will be limited or have no level at all. But that's ok! Communication can happen with imagery, drawings, gestures, and body language. However if you have a friend or family member that speaks Arabic, it would be suggested to invite them to your dinner as well. You can also request a translator (not guaranteed).
Click here or click on the 'sign up' tab below and complete the sign up form. General questions will be asked such as how many people you can accomodate, what location you live in, food restrictions, etc.
Once completed, we will match you up with your guest(s), hopefully as close to your neighbourhood as possible. Please give 2-3 weeks for the matching process.We will reach out to you and you can establish a date, time, and location for your welcome dinner.


From The Morgue : Taking Action: You. Now.
Happy New Year! Yeah, I know it is the eve of March. I've lost two months, and I'm figuring a lot of readers out there are much the same. January and February can be very demanding months in New Zealand. It can take a while to get settled into the new year. Are we settled in yet?
So, a question. How many readers of this blog decided that in 2007 they would do something about the state of the world? Something environmental or community-based or political? Just – something?
And… how many of you have actually done something so far?
This is not to nag. I haven't either, yet. But the problem is bigger than a busy summertime. Our collective failure to get things in motion is one of the problems of modern life, where we have awareness and we have intent and yet we still can't quite translate that into action.
choose an issue you want to do something about.
The first step is easy – get together with your friends – and after you've done that you have some momentum, and also group dynamics to keep things ticking over. No-one has to make a scary long-term commitment – at the end of the action, the group dissolves. Short and sweet.
The full SGA idea is still in development, but the principles are robust. The posts on SGA last year generated much more feedback than anything else I've ever posted online. A lot of people were keen to give it a go.
It's the new year. If you're sick of just being a wallflower and want to get up and dance – get into it. You already care about something. Just email some friends about meeting up. It will take twenty seconds. Do it now. Begin.
As before, I welcome emails or comments from anyone who gets something underway or wants to talk about something in the SGA material. I'll try my best to make sense of things!
Wondering where to start? Well, if you care at all about environmental stuff, particularly climate change and peak oil, why not kick off with the Draft NZ Energy Strategy? A group of three or four people can share out the reading and put together a submission in only a couple of meetings, easily in time for the deadline in a month. You don't have to go to Parliament like i did, either – just send in a letter. And these submissions really can have an impact on what happens – far more than you might expect.

I was planning to do something on the Energy Strategy, and specifically on the "transitional measures" paper which accompanied it. Another good target would be "sustainable land management and climate change" and its accompanying discussion document on dforestation permit trading. This one will be dominated by rural voices representing the 10% of New Zelanders responsible for 50% of NZ's emissions (they're called "farmers"); it would be useful to have more submissions from the cities to counterbalance them.
I'm keen to do something regarding the next WCC elections, any takers?
Oooh ooh. Me too on the WCC elections! Lets hook up. Any other takers?
Cal, Andy – get thee to the emails. Do a bit of specific inviting.

Family of murdered O'Reilly's manager accept plea by killers in case
DETROIT (WJBK) - It has been more than six months since an auto parts store manager was murdered in Detroit.
On Friday his killers pleaded guilty. The victim's son told FOX 2 the outcome is not exactly what the family hoped for, but they agreed to a plea deal knowing that the women who killed James Haller would definitely pay for their crimes.
"In certain situations you take what you can get," said Christopher Pasha.
Pasha says he and his family are finally getting closure. Last fall their father 69-year-old James Haller was shot to death while working at a Detroit O'Reilly Auto Parts store.
On Friday the two women responsible - Shanta Anderson and Eboni McEwen-Ross pled guilty to second degree murder.
"Since the whole incident, the moment they were caught, was a healing process," Pasha said. "It takes time. It is nothing that heals overnight. We all handle it in different ways and we are moving forward."
Pasha says it hasn't been easy. His father, a former Marine, GM worker and Detroit police reservist, didn't deserve to die.
Throughout the court process - the family forced to watch surveillance video that showed the two women robbing the store on Schaefer. And as they were clearing out the register, Haller went to help his fellow employee and that's when Anderson pulled the trigger, killing their beloved father.
"At this point we want to hurry up and get it over with," Pasha said. "So that we don't have to stop our lives to come to court, continue to look at their faces."

Leviticus Butler was the first to plead guilty for hiding out his two girlfriends who he testified were likely trying to rob the store to buy him a birthday present.
Anderson and McEwen-Ross also reached a plea agreement. Pasha says he wished for life without parole but his family is pleased the women will pay for their crime and will hopefully realize one day what they stole from Haller's family.
"Words don't exist to explain that it's like having a part of you missing," he said. "Those feelings are going to be there for a while. No matter how much you accept it, your heart doesn't accept it.
"It is almost like a conflict of interest between your brain and your heart."
The two women are expected to be back in court to be sentenced June 1.

Prague Symphony Orchestra, Jiří Bělohlávek
Martinů: Nipponari, Magic Nights, Czech Rhapsody
Published: 29th August 2008
Genre: Vocal
All three of these compositions open the imaginative world of the young Martinů to the listener, providing a glimpse into his early works for voice and orchestra. Nipponari and Magic Nights were both inspired by exotic texts. The works of Japanese poets used in Nipponari are infused with a wistful, dreamy mood which is masterfully captured by Martinů's unusual instrumentation and subtle compositional technique. For his Impressionistic Magic Nights he instinctively chose texts about sorrow in a distant land far from home, unaware that this theme would play a fateful role in his own life. Mahler, incidentally, drew on the same collection of poems for his song cycle Das Lied von der Erde. The general nationalistic fervor of 1918 and the thought of national independence are reflected in the Czech Rhapsody - released here for the first time on CD - particularly in his use of the Hymn "Saint Wenceslas" (patron saint of the Czech nation), and the premiere of this work was a tremendous success forMartinů. It is difficult to imagine a more competent and sensitive interpretation of these works than you will find in these time-tested recordings by conductor Jiří Bělohlávek and outstanding soloists.
