Spring 2019 Events Are Open!
Join Great River Greening the day after Arbor Day to help bring balance back to an oak forest! This is our first public event at Carroll's Woods/Schwarz Pond Park. The park is 67 acres and features both paved and natural trails. The space is also widely used by locals – especially due to the adjacent high school and community center. Buckthorn is a major issue at this park, so volunteers at this event will be hauling and stacking pre-cut buckthorn (you'll be shocked at how large they are here!) to prepare for our next phase of reintroducing native understory shrubs, grasses, and wildflowers.
Lead 3M employees in planting prairie wildflowers and grasses in this new portion of the South Washington Conservation Corridor. 3M intends to be a long-term supporter of this important corridor by bringing employees and their families to this space year after year to help maintain the space!

It's been some time since our last volunteer event in St. Peter, but we're very excited to announce this one! 2019 is a big year for Hallett's Pond, a much-used community space (fishing, paddling, community events, etc.) right in the heart of St. Peter. Aside from this event, the City of St. Peter will be machine clearing debris and installing a fishing pier this year. And this volunteer event will involve two types of planting: shrubs, wildflowers, and grasses in one section of the shoreline and planting/assisting in shallow water installation of multiple floating islands! It's likely that volunteers will need to wade into shallow water, so we recommend wearing waders, rain boots, or old sneakers you can get wet and dirty.
Partners & Funders: 7 Mile Creek Watershed Partnership, FishAmerica Foundation, City of Saint Peter, CHS Foundation, Clif Bar Family Foundation, New Belgium Brewing, Rahr Corporation, and Fréy Salon.
Great River Greening has partnered with the City of Mahtomedi for the last ~5 years to help restore the woodlands and prairies of Katherine Abbott Park. Hundreds of GRG volunteers have worked here to remove buckthorn and other woody invasive plants and overall, due to the combination of this volunteer work and prescribed fire, we're winning in the fight against buckthorn! A walk through this park really showcases what years of this hard work can do to fight invasive buckthorn. However, some forest pockets have not yet been touched by volunteers and are not receptive to fire, so help is needed to clear them of buckthorn and other woody invasives. We'll be both cutting and hauling pre-cut buckthorn and stacking any cut brush.
Join us to bust sumac from invading into the open prairie spaces of Katherine Abbott Park. This will be a shorter event, but up to 60 students will be involved.
Unfortunately, the original location of this event has changed (no longer Dorothy Day Center/Catholic Charities). More details to come!
Join GRG, the All Nations track of South High School, and Center School (all in Minneapolis) along with two renowned mentors who will lead activities of their own: Hope Flanagan and Dr. Jim Rock. At this event, we will conduct habitat restoration with the students, but the main focus of the day will be on the teachings from and connections the students can make with these wonderful mentors.
Supervisors Needed: this event has been cancelled!
Volunteers at this exciting event will haul, limb, and stack buckthorn brush into burn piles. The piles will be lit and volunteers will feed and maintain the fire under direction of Volunteer Supervisors. This is a great method to remove cut buckthorn brush from the landscape AND kill any attached seed, which will help the slow buckthorn populations in future years. Supervisors will orchestrate the pace and quality of fire maintenance, make sure volunteers are working safely, keep the fire going, and make sure everyone can have fun! Burning experience is not required for Supervisors attending this event, but it is beneficial.
Partners & Funders: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Environment Natural Resources Trust Fund, and Connexus Energy.
Supervisors Needed: this event has passed.
Anoka-Ramsey Community College's TRIO Upward Bound program offers area high school students opportunities to develop motivation and skills necessary to complete high school and enroll in post-secondary education following high school graduation. We'll be working with a group of 70 high school students from the area who are enrolled in this program. We'll connect buckthorn/other invasive plants to woodland health and talk about how woodland habitat is important in an urban environment.
Lead volunteers in sowing wildflower and grass seed (some of which was collected by volunteers at the future SWCC nature center site last fall!) in this new portion of the South Washington Conservation Corridor. GRG has led a few small volunteer events here, but this will be the first time as a larger, public effort. In this fast developing area, the prairie within this corridor is truly ideal; the plants' deep roots hold soil and filter rainwater before it enters the Mississippi River. We highly recommend volunteers wear boots as conditions here may be muddy!

Supervisors Needed AM: this event is full, thank you!
Supervisors Needed PM: this event is full, thank you!
Supervisors are welcome to register for one or both of the following shifts: AM shift = supervisors arrive at 7:30a and stay until 11:30a; PM shift = supervisors arrive at 10:30a and stay until 2:30p. Again, our strongest need will be at the very beginning and very end, so this timeline is flexible. If you're able to join for one of the high demand hours, but must leave immediately after, that is fine (and very appreciated!).
Partners & Funders: City of Rosemount, Rosemount High School.
Supervisors Needed: this event is full, thank you!
Employees from the St. Paul based GovDocs company will be joining us at Valley Park to plant pollinator friendly grasses and wildflowers in portions of the woods here. Great River Greening has been working with the City of Mendota Heights at multiple city parks to improve and maintain habitat.
Supervisors Needed AM: this section is full, thank you!
Supervisors Needed PM: this section is full, thank you!
Last year, the General Mills Foundation funded Great River Greening for a unique initiative to build pollinator plots throughout multiple sites in the greater Twin Cities. These plots will provide habitat and food for our local pollinators AND provide a seed source that will be collected by GRG and partnering organizations. Last October, General Mills employees helped to plant and protect (fence) multiple pollinator seed plots in the northern end of Westwood Hills Nature Center – at this event, we will be conducting maintenance (weeding, etc.) on these plots to ensure that the planted native wildflowers and grasses get enough sunlight and have the best chance in their first spring in the ground.
Join in for the 7th annual event with The Nature Conservancy and Ecolab (the fourth year running at Victoria Park!) – we'll be planting plugs of wildflowers and grasses within the newly developed areas of the park. Last year, we planted 8′ trees in these spaces, but now they're ready for more!
Partners & Funders: Ecolab, and other corporate groups.
Supervisors Needed: this event has been cancelled.
About 40 Dangerous Man Community Volunteers will be joining us up at Allemansratt Wilderness Park this June to plant trees in the peninsula portion of the park – this space is relatively new to the park property and GRG is working with the City of Lindstrom to bring back forest and oak savanna habitat from land that was once farmed.
Partners & Funders: City of Lindstrom, Dangerous Man Brewery, Dangerous Man Community Volunteers.

Q: CVS on Mavericks I noticed that cvs was removed from Mavericks. I replaced it via MacPorts, but I find that cvs co [projname] with a correct $CVSROOT and cvs -d acct@server://path-to-cvs-repository co proj_name also fails with a "server: Connection refused" message.
Clearly, I'm using ssh to connect and sync, and I know there are two types of keys that cvs supports and I wonder if I'm sending the wrong key type.
My server is a FreeBSD system on 9.2 and I may not have attempted a checkout or import since I updated from 9.1.
Before I dove into man pages, I was wondering if any one else has found and solved this problem?
--EDIT December 3, 2013
Installing cvs via fink solved my problem. fink also installs an openssl dependency and my casual conclusion is that is the key. After testing /sw/bin/fink, I uninstalled my MacPorts cvs so there'd be only one available on my $PATH.

A: It sounds like a Problem with the CVS Server config.
You should probably take a look at the config file.
  CVSROOT/config
Also it would help you if take a look at the cvs logfile on the server maybe there is something logged why your connection has been refused.
I use the cvs cli tool from homebrew and it works with no Problems. CVS under Mavericks still works.

A: Even though the reported issue is old. I am writing the answer as I done feel moving away from macport is a solution instead changing what cvs command is using for connection is.
I faced the same issue recently when I installed the CVS with macports. On further debugging of cvs command revealed that rsh connection is being used in macport cvs instead of required ssh, to resolve this issue without moving to fink, I just added the below lines to the ~/.bash_rc profile of my user, and opened a new terminal to load updated bash profile. This actually solved my issue.
CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
export CVS_RSH

We've all heard some of the traditional financial advice, like – always save 10% and make sure you compound your interest.
This may work for ISTJs, but for ENFPs it usually just stays another cliche money advice.
I'd like to share some realistic financial advice for ENFPs.
If you're an ENFP freelancer or entrepreneur, you may experience financial ups and downs and generally struggle with managing money when you're starting out.

Learn the philosophy that helped me become Location Independent, live in 6 countries and publish 12 books before I turned 30.


I've always been fascinated by stories of the Indian Raj: all that arrogant and uptight British pomp and circumstance contrasting with the myriad aspects of Indian culture and religions. Biographies of military men or civil servants such as Viceroys and governors don't usually appeal to me, but I had done some research for one of my novels on the "Lion of the Punjab", Ranjit Singh, so when I spotted this title I was keen to know more about this granddaughter of his, Princess Sophia.
The book was reviewed widely when it was first published a year ago, but this one in the UK Daily Telegraph by Lucy Worsley best echoes many of my own thoughts. There are incongruities in Sophia's passion for various causes involving the less-privileged on the one hand while she insists on her entitlement and a need for recognition from the British upper crust on the other. Although she does have some admirable successes and achievements, she fails on the warmth level and you never get a real sense of who she is. Perhaps one must excuse her; she lived in difficult times and was trapped between two worlds.
There is also too much description and information at times. Depending on the reader's own knowledge and interest levels, there are whole swathes of background that can be scanned through. For me, the story of the lascars and the Indians-only hospitals during World War I were far more interesting than the blow-by-blow history of the suffragette movement which is much better read on its own elsewhere. And I'm afraid Sophia's two sisters bordered on the spoilt and irritating as well, but again must be forgiven because they couldn't help being that way given their upbringing and circumstances.
An enlightening and enjoyable read in parts, but rather a trudge through well-worn paths in others.

Q: react-create-app heroku not running app I created a react app with this buildpack.
I also added react router to it, so that my index.js now looks like this:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Home from './views/Home';
import CreateRestaurant from './views/CreateRestaurant';
import registerServiceWorker from './registerServiceWorker';
import {
    BrowserRouter as Router,
    Route
} from 'react-router-dom';

ReactDOM.render(
    <Router>
        <div>
            <Route exact path="/" component={ Home }/>
            <Route path="/createRestaurant" component={ CreateRestaurant }/>
        </div>
    </Router>,
    document.getElementById('root')
);
registerServiceWorker();

When I run this locally it renders my home.js view. However when I do
git push heroku master

I get a successful build but when I open the app via the heroku URL
I still get the standard page saying:
Welcome to React
To get started, edit src/App.js and save to reload.
How do I get heroku to display my app?

A: You have to build react app before deploying to heroku.
There is a tool to automate this process
create-react-app-buildpack
The steps required are following
heroku create $APP_NAME --buildpack https://github.com/mars/create-
react-app-buildpack.git
git add .
git commit -m "Start with create-react-app"
git push heroku master
heroku open

Q: How to install apache drill on already running EMR cluster on aws I have a running EMR cluster that is persistent.  I dont want to tear down.
How do I install apache drill on already running EMR cluster on aws?

A: There's a ruby script provided on the AWS Github https://github.com/awslabs/emr-bootstrap-actions/blob/master/drill/setup_drill which looks like it should work, assuming you have ruby installed first. I don't see any reason why it couldn't run on an existing cluster. EMR runs bootstrap scripts after all the selected EMR components are installed, hadoop user created and config settings applied. Of course you'd test this on a new cluster so you don't break your persistent one.
The script needs to run on every node, so you can either scp or copy it to s3 then to each node with the aws cli, or use what @fmcmac suggested. I see on line 38 that it is aware if the current node is the master so it is intelligent enough to install correctly.
It looks a few years since updated so you'd need to check the versions & dependency versions it is installing, and probably make some adjustments. It looks to be trying to get apache-drill-1.0.0.tar.gz from http://getdrill.org/drill/download  which should currently be v1.12.0 from the newer site https://drill.apache.org/download/ so at least that part needs to change. It also installs Zookeeper to run Drill, so check if you are already running Zookeeper as Drill will need to install as a new application in there if zookeeper is already there, you might experience issues if you try installing over the top, version compatibility is something to double check.
As an aside, EMR clusters are made to be torn down, bootstrap scripts & cluster configuration, and "steps" make that easy. Boot up, run job, tear down. It's cheaper that way. "Clusters are cattle, not pets". Even if you need it up for analysts to work on there's certainly times when it's not being used, costing you money.

A: Assuming you have SSM installed you can use ssm.send_command (send the command to all nodes) to call an S3 script which installs and starts drill on a running EMR cluster.
There is an example of this here: https://gist.github.com/fmcmac/a35738376d111fdca45057bd0fb4c79e


For Marcel Hirscher, who decided to start his comeback in Levi at the last minute, this was an especially important indicator: "The positive surprise in the first run was as meaningful as the drop back from 4th to 17th place after the second one. I'm happy that I was able to start and now know how much I still need to do" he said after the race. His schedule: "the best possible compromise between physio and compensating for my lack of training".
This time Matthias Hargin compensated for it by taking Marcel's regular place on the podium in Levi with an excellent second run for third place and the best result for the Atomic slalom unit. Marco Schwarz started his Olympic winter in 13th place, and the Swiss racer Marc Rochat came in 19th. Atomic Race Manager Höflehner said "Not everything went according to plan in Levi but we did see that the ground-speed within our team is right. Manuel Feller and Marc Dygruber didn't finish, but they also did really well".
He believes the Redster super lady Mikaela Shiffrin "has potential which she will use in the next race", despite her 2nd place this time. For her home race over in the US Mikaela will be wearing the leader's red bib again. Michaela Kirchgasser also had a good comeback in Levi, and Katharina Huber and Katharina Gallhuber collected World Cup points in the race too.


Snow is on the grown, Christmas lights are twinkling each evening and I've spent the last couple of days baking squares and other holiday treats. Feeling festive, happy and looking forward to the holiday. I've got almost all of my Christmas shopping done, something for everyone on my list! But I thought I'd put together my own dream wishlist with a decidedly bookish theme.
A comfy Pride and Prejudice sweater. Literature plus coziness = win.
A library-scented candle. I would love to fill my room with the scent of old books. Who wouldn't?
This beautiful set of classic children's literature from Puffin Classics.
This Olympia Le-Tan book clutch is what dreams are made of.
The perfect pink lip and some new wintry nail colours.
Fashionable fairy-tales? Yes and more yes.
Seriously perfect cat-eye frames from Warby Parker.
"Boys make passes at girls in glasses" - an adorable (and hopefully true?) bangle from Kate Spade.
on it are on my wishlist as well!


Check out the latest news letter from The King's Lodge. A great read!
I just got back from Tanzania and had a truly brilliant and amazing time and experience! First of all I would like to thank you deeply for your help and support through the 12 days.
My highlight was when I went to Masai Land and we had a great day seeing the astonishing views and seeing the wild donkeys. We visited a local Masai village and prayed for healing over them, it was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity which I was blessed with. At night we ate sheep that we brought and had lots of fun around the camp fire with the children. We also have visited schools and orphanages and help the kids in the area.
Thank you again for your help. God Bless you and I love you.
But thank you still more for giving your life to build a place where people are enabled to sort out their hearts before God! My life is changed and goes on being changed! I can't wait for SBS!
Our work at The King's Lodge is so much about building a platform for people to meet with God and learn about Him - His ways and His goodness. What a privilege to be a part of this impact in people's lives.
Our new term is one week in, and there are so many people!! Four courses here have gathered people from 26 nations onto our campus and nearly 70 students. What a lot of work, and what an amazing opportunity to impact the nations FOR the nations.
After extended travel and pressured schedules at home, we put Jonathan on a plane to Tanzania and then slipped off together for a few days alone in Bath. What a beautiful region and a beautiful town!
Unfortunately, neither of us felt well by this point so we enjoyed being in our lovely room far more than we planned. We did managed an afternoon of sightseeing in below-freezing howling weather!
The Bath Abbey is just a stunning building and we recognized the life of the Spirit working in this ancient church. Afternoon tea in the Regency Tea Room in the Jane Austen Centre was a highlight.

Spiskie Włochy (też Włachy, słow. Spišské Vlachy, niem. Wallendorf, węg. Szepesolaszi, łac. Latina villa) – miasto we wschodniej Słowacji, w kraju koszyckim w powiecie Spiska Nowa Wieś; liczy 3610 mieszkańców (2011).

Historia
Rejon miasta od X wieku do I połowy XI w. znajdował się w granicach Polski, zapewne na terenie kasztelanii spiskiej wzmiankowanej w dokumentach polskich i węgierskich. Później, w II połowie XI wieku obszar ten zajęli Węgrzy. Miejscowość ta wzmiankowana jest po raz pierwszy w 1243 w dokumencie króla węgierskiego Beli IV. Nazwa miejscowości związana jest z działalnością Walonów z pogranicza Belgii i Francji, a nie jak często mylnie się sądzi Wołochów.

Od 1412 miasto z okolicą weszło w skład tzw. zastawu spiskiego, zostało włączone do Polski i stało się częścią starostwa spiskiego. W 1769 na teren ten wkroczyli Austriacy, polskie starostwo spiskie zostało zlikwidowane a miasto włączono w skład nowo utworzonej prowincji 16 spiskich miast (Provinz der 16 Zipser Städte ) z ograniczoną autonomią, którą zlikwidowano w 1876.

Największy rozkwit miejscowość przeżywała, gdy znajdowała się pod władaniem Polski, między XVI a XVIII wiekiem. Była wtedy silnym ośrodkiem wydobycia i wytopu miedzi. Jak we wszystkich miastach spiskich ludność była wielokulturowa – mieszkali tutaj Niemcy, Polacy, Węgrzy i Słowacy.

W drugiej połowie XIX wieku przez Spišské Vlachy poprowadzono kolej z Bogumina do Koszyc (Kolej Koszycko-Bogumińska / k.k.priv. Kaschau-Oderberger Eisenbahn / cs. és kir.szab. Kassa-Oderbergi Vasút / Košicko-bohumínska železnica). Wtedy jednak miasto chyliło się powoli ku upadkowi, czego dowodem jest odebranie praw miejskich w 1923. Ponownie przyznano je dopiero w niepodległej Słowacji, w roku 1992.

Zabytki
 Gotycki rynek z kamieniczkami i ratuszem – pierwotnie gotyckim, później po kilku pożarach wielokrotnie przebudowanym. Wieżę ratuszową wieńczy cebulasty hełm.
 Kościół św. Jana, pierwotnie romański, odnowiony w 1434 w stylu gotyckim. W środku znajduje się XV-wieczna chrzcielnica oraz krucyfiks z pracowni Mistrza Pawła w Lewoczy.
 Barokowo-klasycystyczny kościół ewangelicki, postawiony w XVIII wieku w miejscu dawnej, drewnianej świątyni. Wnętrze jest częściowo neoklasycystyczne.
 Barokowy słup maryjny z 1728; renowacja w 1873.

Stosunki demograficzne
Rozwój demograficzny od 1880:

Znaczna większość, bo 89% deklaruje wyznanie katolickie. W nielicznych przypadkach wymieniano wyznanie prawosławne, greckokatolickie i ewangelickie. Ponad 100 osób nie zadeklarowało żadnego.

Jeśli chodzi o narodowość, to ponad 97% określiło się jako Słowacy, 1,5% jako Romowie, są też pojedyncze osoby deklarujące się jako Czesi, Rusini, Ukraińcy i Węgrzy.

Kluby sportowe
 MŠK Tatran Spišské Vlachy – piłka nożna, słowacka V liga.

Q: Separate configuration from main execution in RequireJS I have included requirejs with the data-main entry point as described here in the docs.
<script data-main="js/app-main" src="js/lib/require.js"></script>

The app-main.js file looks like this:
requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: 'js/myapp/',
    ...
});

requirejs(['main']);

I want to separate the require configuration from the main execution (to share the config between production and testing environments for example).
So basically I need an app.js file (with configuration only):
requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: 'js/myapp/',
    ...
});

and the main.js file which starts the app execution (not included in testing environment).
How can I include those two files (in the correct order) with the single data-main entry point?

I have tried with an app-main.js file containing require(['app','main']); but it doesn't works.

A: You could ditch the data-main convenience method, and include them manually.
<script src="js/lib/require.js"></script>
<script>

// Optionally set base url depending on environment.
// Otherwise could just include in app.js
require.config({baseUrl : <% baseUrl %>})

//require app config file first
require(['app'], function() {
  require(['main'])
});

</script>

Although this creates an extra HTTP request, if you are using the r.js optimizer, this shouldn't be a problem, as you can bundle require.js into the main config module.

https://www.facebook.com/stan4oklahoma
Stan Stevens was born and raised in the oil town of Bartlesville, OK. His Father, Herb, like many of the other Dads worked at Phillips Petroleum, which was based in Bartlesville at the time. Stan spent his summers home from college at Pittsburg State University, in Pittsburg Kansas, working on oil rigs in the area that we now know as "The Tallgrass Prairie" preserve. At Pitt State, Stan attended the business school and graduated with a Bachelor's in Business Administration with a major in Finance and a minor in Psychology. He was a proud member of the Sigma Chi fraternity and the Finance Club. In 1984, Stan accepted the Chief Deputy position at the Washington County Treasurer's office. In 1986, Stan would become Treasurer at only 28. During his 20 year plus tenure in the Treasurer's office, Stan accomplished much. Stan played an instrumental role in the implementation of the first IT system. It brought the county out of a 1960's labor intensive system, into a new efficient and streamlined process. This innovation revolutionized the administrative functions of the county creating significant increases in productivity, efficiency and time savings through the county offices. During his time in office, Stan served on many boards and was appointed by his peers to various leadership positions. Among those are: Chairman, Washington County GOP party for 2 terms Sponsor of the Young Republicans Treasurer, State of Oklahoma Republican Party President, Oklahoma County Treasurer's Association Board of the County Officers & Deputies Association of OK, first 2-term President in State history Center for Local Government Technology at Oklahoma State University Advisory Board President, PSU Alumni Bartlesville Chapter Arvest Bank Advisory Board Bartlesville Chamber of Commerce Board President, Big Brothers Big Sisters President, The Lions Club Awarded Outstanding Pittsburg State Alumni in 2001 #1 Papa of the World
Stan has 3 amazing kids with his late wife, Jeanna; Jordan, Grant and Stephanie. He and Jeanna were married for over 30 years. Jeanna helped Stan every step of the way through his 5 campaigns as Treasurer. She was instrumental in supporting him through college and getting him focused. Jeanna didn't know a stranger, she was the perfect compliment to Stan's introverted personality. She was taken from everyone who loved her in a car wreck in 2010. Her passing left a tremendous void in those who knew and loved her.
For the past 12 years, Stan has been working and living in Tulsa. After leaving the Treasurer's office, Stan obtained his Real Estate license and partnered up with area Real Estate Mogul, Darryl Baskin. They've been partner's ever since and currently work with eXp Realty.
In March of 2016, Stan would marry again. Jenifer brought with her 2 kids, Bailey and Tyler. The blending of the families has blessed them in ways they could've never imagined. The most significant of those blessings, 9 fantabulous grandkids. Jenifer was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2003. It comes with a great many day-to-day challenges, but Stan has made it his mission to take care of her. MS can be exacerbated by outside forces, such as stress or illness. Stan has worked tirelessly to make sure Jenifer is taken care of, comfortable and has anything she needs to take care of her health and well-being. Stan says "Jenifer is the light of our life. She holds us all together through good and bad, not to mention my biggest cheerleader. She's the driving force behind me and my success at this point in life. Together we have built an amazing life centered on God, Country and our family, who are the source of our greatest joy." "Stan's Plan" includes Mental Health, Medical Marijuana, Education, Economic Growth, State's Rights, Fiscal Responsibility, and Energy.

Cornbread comes in two different forms. Savory or sweet. This cornbread has a slightly sweeter flavor that complements the tart flavor of fresh cranberries. The yellow cornbread and vibrant red cranberries create a dish that is just as beautiful as it is delicious.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter and flour a round cake pan. Set aside.
In large bowl combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir. Add fresh cranberries. Stir and set aside.
In a medium bowl combine buttermilk, orange juice, eggs and orange zest. Stir until well blended. Melt butter and stir into buttermilk mixture.
Empty butter and buttermilk mixture into the large bowl of dry ingredients. Quickly stir until just blended and turn batter out into prepared cake pan.
Bake for 25 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Serve warm or room temperature.
What a beautiful combination of flavors. I recently made a cranberry orange bundt cake and it was fabulous. This looks wonderful!


Way to say "honestly" in the every-day British English?
What is the customary idiomatic way to say "honestly" in the every-day British English? I mean, e.g. if I want to say something like "He is a real beast of a man. Honestly!" can I use the phrases "upon my soul", "upon my life"? Or probably there's something else with the same meaning?


In the lesson we will deploy a sample Golang application to a Cloud Foundry platform. In your own Concourse pipelines you could deploy any application to any target platform.
For convenience, we're reusing the tutorials/basic/job-inputs/task-run-tests.sh test script from lesson Job Inputs.
This will fail due to missing parameters.
To complete this lesson you will need access to a Cloud Foundry. I'd like to suggest you try Pivotal Web Services which is run by Pivotal, the company who funds the core Concourse CI dev team. They offer free trial credit which will be more than sufficient for this lesson.
After signup, visit https://console.run.pivotal.io/, and after navigating to your "org", create a new "space" called run-tests-before-deploy. This lesson's pipeline will deploy a sample app into this space.
The example pipeline.yml in the lesson folder uses the cf resource for deploying the application via put: deploy-web-app. You could use any resource (or a handcrafted task) to deploy your application instead. Declarative deployment platforms like Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes can trivialise our pipeline implementation. They are the "Just Do It" of CI/CD deployment orchestration.
As introduced in Parameters and Secrets with Credentials Manager , the ((cf-api)) syntax is for late-binding variable, secret, or credential. This allows pipeline.yml to be generically useful and published in public. It also allows an operator to update variables in a central place and then all jobs will dynamically use the new variable values on demand.
You can now delete the sample app from your Cloud Foundry account.
If you are using Pivotal Web Services, visit https://console.run.pivotal.io/ and navigate to the run-tests-before-deploy space to find your application and delete it.


Can I tell you something I've never told anyone else, dear reader? Okay. When 9/11 happened I was a student at the University of Pittsburgh. As a film student, I was taking the majority of my classes in the Cathedral of Learning. The CoL is the tallest building dedicated to higher learning at least in this country, possibly in the world. I was terrified to go to classes after September 11th. I did not want to attend my classes on the 3rd floor, or the 5th floor, or the 10th floor, or the 34th floor. I struggled mightily that year. I told everyone it was because I was so invested in the work I was doing with young people on the North Side of Pittsburgh through The Pittsburgh Project. That was somewhat true. But it was also because there were days when I just couldn't make myself go to class. I imagined sitting in my medieval literature class and watching a plane fly directly at me during the lecture. I imagined fighting to get through to the elevator after watching yet another viewing of Battleship Potemkin. I feared not making it through all ten commandments of The Decalogue.
Yesterday I made a comment about disliking social media on Facebook. Amidst the small trickle of "Amens" were a few people questions pushing back. I realize that a tweet or a Facebook status is often a glib form of self expression, especially on topics that are really important. I feel like I need to unpack my dislike for our commemoration of 9/11 in a more thoughtful way.
Let me start with the "Never Forget" motto that is at the center of the 9/11 commemoration ethos. I'd as soon forget the birth of my kids as I would forget that horrific day. I remember where I was, who I was with, what I did, what I felt, who I talked to, and what I watched, which was mostly the second plane flying into the second tower on a continuous loop. I remember worrying about my future wife's sister who was a flight attendant. I remember fielding calls of whether or not I was okay because all of the early reports of the fourth plane said that it crashed in Pittsburgh. I remember going to pray with the new church I was apart of and more than ever wanting certainty of the realness of my faith.
To ask those of us who lived through it to never forget is insulting. In any other situation of trauma, we would not ask the traumatized to never forget. "Don't you ever forget that time you were raped!" "Remember that time you were robbed at gunpoint!" "Always remember when your dad walked out on your family!" It's insensitive and demeaning to throw such platitudes around.
Here's my other, more global opposition to the "never forget" adage; our not forgetting has been the core of our not healing. Those in public life who tell us to "never forget" would often have us do so in order that we might remember the victimization that we felt that day and use it as a justification for either forfeiting our rights in the name of security or victimizing others in the name of justice. The call to remember is never a call to scrutinize the American imperialist enterprise. It is never a call a to think through how our policies have created disenfranchised young men around the world who saw this as their only option. It is never a call to repentance for the ways that America has equipped and empowered those who would do violence in the name of freedom. Were our call to remembrance also a call to analysis or a call to accountability, then maybe it would strike as a useful endeavor. As it is currently presented, it is simply a call to remember the fear and helplessness that I felt on that day, and that serves only my darkest demons.
9/11 was a national trauma. As someone who has been dealing with my own personal traumas therapeutically, I know that memory can be an important part of the healing process. But if the intent is not to open the wound for the sake of airing it out, then we only open ourselves up to be infected by hatred, fear, and violence. (…hope I didn't beat that metaphor to death…). I think that there is some good that come from remembering 9/11 if we are willing to do the work of accepting how small and childlike we all felt on that day and the days that followed. If we were really willing to dive into the psyche of nation that was at the time making decisions based on fear. If we were willing to admit that we made decisions in Afghanistan and Iraq based off of that smallness and insecurity that we felt and repent of the lives that were lost or irreparably altered because of our fear-laced actions, then I would say that we're getting somewhere. Instead we shine two lights representing the symbols of our economic empire instead of questioning the culpability of in wars and conflicts across the globe.
It is because I love my country that I want it to heal from this wound that has plagued us for almost half of my life. 9/11 was an invitation to the be on equal footing with the rest of the world. What we experienced one day is what many nations deal with daily. We had an opportunity to join more fully into the world community and now we are retreating into a new age of isolationism.
Personally, I will never forget 9/11. It was a beautiful, early fall day. The sun was shining, the air was brisk, and the wind was pleasant. And with that backdrop, the world was being changed forever and I believe for the worse. America rallied around its military might and ability to create wealth for the very few in the name of patriotism. We became less than what we are. This is what I remember about 9/11… and it continually breaks my heart.
This is so beautiful, Derrick. Thank you. I will think on all you have written.

Belgium's second COVID wave shows first signs of slowing
Spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Liege
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The rate of increase in new COVID-19 infections in Belgium has slowed but it is too early to say that the country's second wave has peaked, the government said on Monday as new restrictions to avert a breakdown of the health system went into effect.
"The number of infections and admissions to hospital continues to rise, but less rapidly," Health Ministry spokesman Yves Van Laethem said. "So we can say that while the high-speed train is still running, it is slowing a little."
The country of 11 million, home to the headquarters of the European Union and NATO, has Europe's worst infection rate and one of its highest mortality rates, according to official data.
Van Laethem told a news conference that the daily average of new infections over the past seven days was 15,582, an increase of 14% from the previous week but a slowdown from last month, when roughly a doubling each week became the norm. In the capital, Brussels, there was actually a week-on-week decline.
Still, Belgium reported a cumulative 1,735 infections per 100,000 inhabitants over the 14 days to Nov. 2, more than twice as many as in neighbouring France, according to European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control data.
Van Laethem said the number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care units (ICUs) – now 1,223 – was still rising, but was doubling every 10 days compared to every 8 days in recent weeks.
Last week he had warned that the trend in admissions then suggested the country's maximum capacity of 2,000 ICU beds would be reached before mid-November.
The new restrictions to slow the spread of infections, which will be in effect for six weeks, severely limit social contacts and have closed businesses such as hairdressers and shops that provide non-essential services.
However, the government has stopped short of confining people to their homes, as it did during the first wave in the spring and as other European countries have done in recent days.

Summaries for Patients |18 April 2000
High Doses of a Corticosteroid Drug Interfere with Anticoagulant Medicines
The summary below is from the full report titled "Potentiation of Vitamin K Antagonists by High-Dose Intravenous Methylprednisolone". It is in the 18 April 2000 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 132, pages 631-635). The authors are N. Costedoat-Chalumeau, Z. Amoura, G. Aymard, O. Sevin, B. Wechsler, P. Cacoub, L.T.H. Du, B. Diquet, A. Ankri, and J.-C. Piette.
Corticosteroid drugs (medicines related to cortisone, a substance produced by the adrenal glands) are commonly used to treat patients with inflammatory diseases or diseases of the immune system. Many of these patients also require treatment with anticoagulant drugs ("blood thinners"). Anticoagulants are used to treat or prevent blood clots (for example, in the brain [strokes], legs [thrombophlebitis], or lungs [pulmonary embolism]). Many drugs can interfere with the action of anticoagulants; some cause them to thin the blood too much, others to thin it too little. Corticosteroids have not been thought to interfere with anticoagulants, but few reports on this issue exist. Methylprednisolone is a commonly used intravenous corticosteroid.
To find out if high-dose methylprednisolone given intravenously would make oral anticoagulants thin the blood too much. "Intravenous" means that the drug is given through a small tube inserted into a vein, and "oral" means it is taken by mouth.
The researchers studied 10 patients who needed to receive high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone at the same time that they were taking oral anticoagulants (either fluindione or acenocoumarol). They also studied 5 patients who received only methylprednisolone.
The researchers measured the International Normalized Ratio (INR), a blood test that shows how well the anticoagulant is working. The INR should be somewhere between 2.0 to 4.0 for most people on anticoagulants. International Normalized Ratio values lower than 2.0 can put patients at risk for blood clots, and values higher than 4.0 can put them at high risk for bleeding. The researchers also measured the level of anticoagulant drug in the blood before and after the patients started receiving methylprednisolone.
In the patients who were getting both methylprednisolone and anticoagulants, the average INR before methylprednisolone was 2.75 (range, 2.02 to 3.81). After methylprednisolone, the average INR increased to 8.04 (range, 5.32 to 20.0). The patients who got only methylprednisolone did not have increases in the INR. Blood levels of anticoagulant drugs increased after methylprednisolone
The study was small and included only patients getting high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone to treat autoimmune or inflammatory diseases. It is unclear whether the results would be the same in patients with other types of diseases or patients who were on lower-dose, oral, or other corticosteroid medications. It is also unclear whether similar results would occur with warfarin, an anticoagulant drug commonly used in the United States.
High-dose intravenous methylprednisolone can increase the blood levels and action of certain oral anticoagulants. Doctors should consider monitoring the INR frequently in patients who receive these medications together.

Transaction Action in Hotel REIT Sector
Allen Kenney
Lukas Hartwich of Green Street Advisors analyzes the current dealmaking among lodging REITs.
In the latest episode of the NAREIT Podcast, Lukas Hartwich, a senior analyst with Green Street Advisors, discussed the recent transaction activity in the hotel sector.
Since the middle of August, Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: BEE) announced a sale agreement with private equity firm Blackstone and Ashford Hospitality Prime Inc. (NYSE: AHP) said it is exploring strategic alternatives. Hartwich attributed the interest in lodging sector to discounted asset values in the public markets. The hotel sector is currently trading at a rate of roughly 20 percent below net asset value (NAV), according to Hartwich, which he described as a "pretty wide gap" relative to historical data.
"You've got a bunch of hotel companies now where the value of their underlying real estate trades for a higher price in the private market than it does in the public market, so I think that disconnect is the main reason why you're seeing some activity in terms of take-outs and rumors around other corporate events," he said.
Hartwich noted that interest in hotel REIT assets is zeroed in on the luxury and limited-service segments. Looking ahead, Hartwich said the driver in lodging M&A will continue to be assets trading at discounts.
Hartwich speculated that more deals in the hotel sector are on the way. "I think we're just getting started," he said.

This recipe for Ground Chicken Chili is to die for! Made with ground chicken, 3 different kinds of beans and of course a brick of cream cheese it's the perfect fall dinner!
It's chili season! How excited are you? I love this time of year! It's brisk, but not cold. Warm, but not hot. I just want to wrap up in a sweatshirt and drink a cup of hot tea all day. I love it!
It was a typical cold day in Shanghai and I asked Mr. Nomad what he was in the mood for for dinner. Typical, he says I don't care. So I said what about Chili? And he was like YESSSSSSSS!!! So that's what I made! But not the regular tomato based beef chili. I wanted something light so I went for a Ground Chicken Chili so that the chili would have the texture of traditional Beef Chili. If you don't have ground chicken you can easily through some chicken breast in your food processor and process it until it's ground up.
To make the Ground Chicken Chili extra creamy I used a whole 8 ounce brick! Like you would do with Velveeta, you just drop the cheese in the pot as it's simmering and allow it to melt away. Life doesn't get much better than chili with cream cheese!!
You can make the recipe in a crockpot but honestly the whole dish takes less than 60 minutes from start to finish- and most of that time is just cooking the chili. Easy peasy and oh so delicious!
Enjoy with lots of green onions, cilantro, limes and sliced avocados! I like to add a little bit of Chipotle Sauce to it! MMM!!!
This recipe for Ground Chicken Chili is to die for! Made with ground chicken, 3 different kinds of beans and of course a brick of cream cheese it's the perfect fall dinner!
In a large pot, saute the onions and bell peppers in the vegetable oil until softened.
Add all the remaining ingredients to the pot.
Simmer for 30 minutes or until the cream cheese has melted, stirring occasionally.
Garnish with cilantro, green onions and limes.
This chili is yummy! Really easy to make. It's creamy and oh so delicious. Great recipe!
I love a one pot meal, and this one looks so flavorful!
I love using chicken in my chili. Such a nice change from beef. This looks delish!
I never tried making chili with chicken (always using beef), but this looks so delicious and way easier (not to say lighter). I would definitely try it for dinner soon! Looks so hearty and comforting.
Thanks Bintu! That's what a brick of cream cheese will do lol!
This looks incredible - it looks so creamy and delicious!

Can you be a spiritual person while accepting modern science?
Topic: formulate a hypothesis
July 18, 2019 / By Arlene
Question: There are people who think that if a person is spiritual, they can't accept science. There are also people who think that if a person accepts science (ie. current thought in biology, physics, chemistry, etc) they cannot be spiritual. I'm not talking about any particular theological doctrine (ie. Christianity, Islam, Agnosticism, etc) either, just the idea that there may be a higher power. What are your ideas? Do you think it's possible to entertain the idea of a higher power while accepting modern science? Why or why not? Is the creation hypothesis falsifiable? I'm not going to upvote or downvote any comment. I'm also not going to chose a "best" answer -- I'll leave that to a vote. So what does everyone think?

Best Answers: Can you be a spiritual person while accepting modern science?
Zebulun | 2 days ago
Most of the science you hear about on these pages were discovered by Christians. Genetics was discovered by a Christian priest Mendel. The Big Bang Theory was first formulated by another Christian priest, Georges Lemaitre. Radioactive carbon dating was the work of the Christian, Willard Libby, who also won the Nobel Price. Even Darwin was still a Christian when he wrote Origin of the Species. Also there are other worthwhile interpretations of Genesis that most people have never heard of. It is sufficient to say that there is no conflict between God and science. If God created the universe, then he created all of the scientific principles therein. Conflicts only arise because of misinterpreted scripture and/or misapplied science.

Originally Answered: Atheists: Are you capable of accepting a radical change in science, if accepted by the scientific community?
Considering the amount of crap that makes it into peer-reviewed journals, I'd initially be skeptical, since it IS an extraordinary claim. But I understand what you're asking. If sufficient evidence were gathered, and independently verified by multiple, repeatable tests of the experimental data, I's accept the findings. Does that make me an agnostic? No. I do not expect any such evidence to be found in my lifetime, or ever for that matter, simply because of the definition of god.

YES, it is not only possible, but has been done. We might NOT accept all that science says, but then most of what science claims as "theories" are not proven anyway, so why accept them? Evolution, for example, is still just a theory. But Science has shown us, HOW things came about in the Universe, and this then lends credence to God and His ability to create. Early stars eventually blew up and became Super Novas, and these then caused the gases in the Universe to become matter and planets were then created. The Super Nova that created our Solar Sytem was not a random thing, because it had to be in precisely the right spot, to prevent the gases from being blown away (if too close) or being not formed at all (if the S Nova was too far away) Nothing random there. Once chance and that was it. And our Milky Way, was created with swirling arms swinging out, allowing for our Solar System to be put into one of the outer arms, away from the high radiation of the stars closer to the center of the Milky Way. So this was NOT a random happening. Our sun is not a large sun, not a tiny one, so it does the job well. And being placed where it is, 93 million miles away, it does not over heat the planet Earth by being too close, nor allow it to freeze by being to far away. The Magnetic Field around the Earth helps keep the sun's solar winds from destroying the Earth. And the Moon is placed such that it helps balance the Earth, as the Earth rotates. Keeps the wobble down. Much like a lead balance put on a cars wheel. The Earth orbits around the Sun, in four seasons, which is needed for things to grow. Seeds can be planted in fall but will NOT grow until the Spring. Weird how the seed knows this. The point is, there are just TOO many things needed for Earth to even be here, with life on it especially. Take and change even ONE of those things, and we would not be here. This is shown to us, by Science. Had Science NOT shown us these things, such as the location of our Solar System, we would not have the proof of how God did it. So Science, does interact with religion, and will continue to do so, until the time comes for PROOF of God existence, which Science will prove beyond a doubt.
This particular person? No. Not the science idolized by the billions. I showed the laws are wrong. The data are good but the laws are wrong. I accept laws that bind together and are precise and accurate..... science doesn't do that. I can work with the data, but not the laws and representations.... htt doesn't work. No one cannot accept the Higher Power and accept modern science, modern science got it wrong. there's a neo-science that gets it right and is consonant with spirituality .,.. they align... and its precise, accurate, and mathematical. ... includes the macroscopic, microscopic and the subatomic. Seems no one believes that science got it wrong. In the future the boondoggles will be seen as obvious as the flat-earth fallacies.
the first person to measure the rate of acceleration of a freely falling body was Fr. Giambattista Riccioli. The man who has been called the father of Egyptology was Fr. Athanasius Kircher (also called "master of a hundred arts" for the breadth of his knowledge). Fr. Roger Boscovich, who has been described as "the greatest genius that Yugoslavia ever produced," has often been called the father of modern atomic theory. In the sciences it was the Jesuits in particular who distinguished themselves; some 35 craters on the moon, in fact, are named after Jesuit scientists and mathematicians. By the eighteenth century, the Jesuits had contributed to the development of pendulum clocks, pantographs, barometers, reflecting telescopes and microscopes, to scientific fields as various as magnetism, optics and electricity. They observed, in some cases before anyone else, the colored bands on Jupiter's surface, the Andromeda nebula and Saturn's rings. They theorized about the circulation of the blood (independently of Harvey), the theoretical possibility of flight, the way the moon effected the tides, and the wave-like nature of light Star maps of the southern hemisphere, symbolic logic, flood-control measures on the Po and Adige rivers, introducing plus and minus signs into Italian mathematics — all were typical Jesuit achievements, and scientists as influential as Fermat, Huygens, Leibniz and Newton were not alone in counting Jesuits among their most prized correspondents [Jonathan Wright, The Jesuits, 2004, p. 189]. The Church also played an indispensable role in another essential development in Western civilization: the creation of the university. The university was an utterly new phenomenon in European history. Nothing like it had existed in ancient Greece or Rome. The institution that we recognize today, with its faculties, courses of study, examinations, and degrees, as well as the familiar distinction between undergraduate and graduate study, come to us directly from the medieval world. And it is no surprise that the Church should have done so much to foster the nascent university system, since the Church, according to historian Lowrie Daly, "was the only institution in Europe that showed consistent interest in the preservation and cultivation of knowledge." To say that the Church played a positive role in the development of science has now become absolutely mainstream, even if this new consensus has not yet managed to trickle down to the general public.
Jabin
One would have to be a hypocrite to not "accept modern science". Unless someone lives in a cave, grows their own food, etc, they are accepting modern science. That aside, many religious people don't like science, but LOVE what it provides them, in other words, they rail against it, but reap the benefits. How many people turn down insulin, or don't use computers, or drive, etc? They have a problem with science that conflicts with their religion, right up to the point that the specific science benefits them. Then they are ok with it.

Q: VBA Incrementing Date Error I've never done VBA before but a friend has asked for help so I've been working on his project. I'm trying to increment a given date by one day but I'm getting an "Object Required" error in the DateAdd function. As far as I can tell I'm putting in an object (firstDate)...
The date entered,for my testing purposes at least, has been 12/03/2012 in that format.
The Format and CDate functions seem to work fine and parse the date.
Here's the code, I get the error at the line with DateAdd in it.
Sub GetDate()

Dim strDate As String

strDate = InputBox(Prompt:="Enter the first day of the week in dd/mm/yyyy format.", _
      title:="First day of the week", Default:="")

    If strDate = "" Or strDate = vbNullString Then
        Exit Sub
    Else
        Dim firstDate As Date
        firstDate = CDate(Format(strDate, "Short Date"))

        'Add to O and 6 after
        For inc = 0 To 6 Step 1
            Range(Chr(79 + inc) & 1) = firstDate
            firstDate = DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 1, firstDate)
        Next

    End If
End Sub

Appreciate any help.

A: You're just trying to increment by one day, right?
firstDate = firstDate + 1

The unit of the Date type is one day. So adding 1 adds one day.

A: Very well...
DateAdd("d", 1, firstDate)
But: I'm not that fussed if anyone reposts a comment of mine as an answer. I do read the comments as well as the answers.  Maybe because I have this habit of suggesting answers in comments...

3 Stocks to Buy for the 5G Technology Revolution
May 30, 2019|by Nancy Zambell
The first phase of 5G technology is here—in a big way, and accompanied by phones that run on the network.
On April 11, Verizon began rolling out its actual 5G wireless network in Minneapolis and Chicago, with its 5G-Moto Z3 phone. Deloitte expects some 20 handset vendors to launch 5G-ready handsets in 2019, and about 1 million 5G handsets (out of a projected 1.5 billion smartphone handsets sold in 2019) to be shipped by year's end.
AT&T is planning to bring 5G technology to Vegas, Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Chicago and Minneapolis this year. And T-Mobile has announced it will launch 5G in 2019 with nationwide coverage next year.
Qualcomm (QCOM) reports that 20 global operators will roll out 5G this year, including all major U.S. carriers. And so far, 20 device manufacturers say they are going to use Qualcomm's 5G components in their devices. A report by Deloitte says that last year 72 operators tested 5G technology; by the end of this year they expect 25 to launch 5G, with another 26 by 2020.

Why is 5G Technology Such a Big Deal?
There are a lot of technical definitions for 5G, but one of our contributors to my Wall Street's Best Investments newsletters, defines it very clearly. Jason Stutman, editor of Technology & Opportunity, explains it this way:
"The 'G' in '5G' means it's a generation of wireless technology. It signifies the next major upgrade to wireless network standards. And it's designed to enable a faster, more robust network of connected devices.
"4G is what most of us use today. It has a theoretical download speed of 100 megabits per second (Mbps.), which is pretty fast. But 5G will be able to handle 10,000 Mbps., which is 100 times faster than 4G on its best day. There are several catalysts driving the launch of 5G technology:
"Catalyst No. 1: The Internet of Things (IoT)
"IoT is a broad way to describe the concept of an interconnected network that includes machines, wearables, buildings, automobiles, and tons of other types of devices. Cisco (CSCO) estimates that by 2020, within just the next two years, the number of connected devices will reach upward of 50 billion. And in four years, that figure is estimated to reach 1 trillion. This optimized network will be able to handle about 1,000 times more mobile data than today's cellular systems can.
"Catalyst No. 2: Driverless Cars
"Google's driverless car gathers nearly 1 gigabyte (GB.) of sensor data per second. That's roughly 100 times faster than your computer can download a file. Intel (INTC) says the average autonomous vehicle uses 4,000 GB. of data over the course of a full day. 4G networking simply can't keep up with that kind of demand, but 5G can.
"Catalyst No. 3: Augmented and Virtual Reality
"Only widespread adoption of 5G will make AR and VR fully possible, for several reasons:
"Latency (the amount of delay that occurs when transmitting data). The latency with 4G is around 50 milliseconds, which isn't bad. But with 5G, that figure will drop to under 1 millisecond—about a 5,000% improvement.
"Connection improvement. According to telecom firm Huawei: 'A 5G network provides up to a million connections per square kilometer. This will bring an exponential increase in the number of connections.' That's compared to the 1,000 connections that 4G can handle.
"Traffic. According to Cisco, traffic for AR is set to grow by 700% over the next three years. And traffic for VR is projected to increase by 1,100%. For AR and VR to function optimally, speeds of 25 Mbps. are needed. And right now, according to Akamai's State of the Internet Report, the average connection speed—across the globe—is a mere 5.6 Mbps. And according to Qualcomm (QCOM), this will produce a 100-times improvement in overall traffic capacity.
"Bandwidth. Put simply, the wider the band, the faster you'll be able to go. With AR and VR, the screens and equipment used will need bandwidth that 4G simply doesn't offer. In the past, we've made do with bands below 6 gigahertz (GHz.). 5G will offer bands of up to 300 GHz—a 50-times improvement."
So, I think you can see why 5G is such a big deal, hmm?
No doubt, the advent of 5G technology will eventually affect pretty much every company, no matter the industry. But telecom gurus predict just a few will see immediate benefits, including:
Manufacturing will benefit from 5G's higher bandwidth and lower latency, leading to 'smart' and safer factories, depending on more automation and IoT connections to improve speed of production, as well as data mining. At the 2018 Mobile World Congress Americas, Nokia and Verizon demonstrated the difference in productivity between an automated guided vehicle (AGV) controlled via Wi-Fi and an AGV guided by 5G. When faced with an obstruction, the 5G AGV reacted very quickly, while the Wi-Fi-connected vehicle stalled, which would put a wrench in the operation.
If you get frustrated with buffering when you're streaming, 5G promises to vastly improve that due to its faster capabilities. And with its lower cost per gigabyte, streaming should become more cost efficient.
You'll see more telemedicine in analysis and diagnostics, as well as wearable technologies geared toward health applications, video conferencing to connect primary care physicians, specialists and patients in different places. Imagine how convenient this will be for patients in rural areas that typically drive two or more hours to get to a specialist. Market Research Future forecasts that the global telemedicine market will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 16.5% from 2017 to 2023—more than double the current size of the market.
Have you ever wished you could tell that driver in front of you to just move over? Well, that day is coming. With 5G technology, vehicles will be able to communicate with each other; sensors will not only tell you that you are drifting in your lane, but will give you information on the other cars in your immediate driving range, and send you traffic and safety alerts, and could even tell you where the closest parking spot is located. In the commercial arena, the faster data collection will help companies schedule freight better and save on fuel.
Three 5G Technology Stocks
The 5G investment opportunities will be immense, with scads of cutting edge companies debuting new products, and eventually, being gobbled up by their larger competition, but those days are still in front of us. For now, I believe investing in the larger companies is the way to begin our 5G investing.
I've surfed through a lot of stocks, and these three seem to have tremendous potential in the 5G arena—and all three have been recently recommended in my investment newsletters.
Our contributor, John Buckingham, editor of The Prudent Speculator, recommended Corning Incorporated (GLW), saying:
"Corning Incorporated is the leading designer/manufacturer of glass and ceramic substrates found in liquid crystal displays, fiber-optic cables, automobiles and laboratory products.
"GLW reported Q3 EPS of $0.51 (vs. $0.48 est.) and had sales of $3.05 billion (vs. $2.99 billion est.). The company benefitted from strong growth (19% y/y or better) in the Optical, Environmental and Specialty Materials segments.
"Corning increased 2018 revenue guidance to more than $13 billion with a gross margin of 42%. Corning remains focused on its 'Strategy and Capital Allocation' framework, which targets $26 billion to $30 billion in cash generation through 2019 and the return of more than $12.5 billion to investors."
The stock recently saw a boost, after the company reported better-than-expected growth in its optical fiber wiring unit owing to the build-out of 5G wireless networks.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (KEYS) was recently picked by Dan Sullivan, editor of The Chartist, after his system flashed a buy signal. Keysight, in collaboration with Qualcomm, recently announced that its "5G Conformance Toolset is the first test solution to be approved for 5G New Radio (NR) device certification by PTCRB, a certification forum comprised of select leading cellular operators, accelerating commercial availability of 5G mobile devices across the ecosystem."
Keysight says its solutions "span the entire workflow, from simulation, development, and design verification, to conformance and acceptance test, and into manufacturing."
Lastly, Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) was chosen by Jason Williams, editor of The Wealth Advisory. Here's what Jason has to say: "Cisco Systems, Inc. designs, manufactures, and sells internet protocol (IP)-based networking and other products that are related to the communications and information technology industry worldwide.
"The Luxtera deal will be finalized. Cisco will buy the semiconductor company for $660 million and incorporate its tech across the intent-based networking portfolio. This gives Cisco a major advantage in the optical chip market. Although the shares have been relatively flat so far in 2019, I expect that we'll see a recovery to early-October 2018 levels by this summer. I highly recommend adding shares."
Cisco reports that it has 40 service providers actively trialing and deploying its 5G offerings, and has inked new or expanded deals with half a dozen global network operators. The company is focusing on its cloud mobile network.
Just to name a couple of its alliances—Verizon is going to use Cisco's software-defined wide area network platform to support mobile 5G devices, for SD-WAN for campuses and branches. And Cisco will be providing its network convergence system 540 routers, for Sprint.
As 5G evolves, we'll see plenty more investment opportunities, but these companies are a good start!

May 2017 – Game of Thrones: The Musical (Tampa)
Really Spicy Opera brings its award-winning production of Game of Thrones: The Musical to the inaugural Tampa International Fringe Festival from May 11-13, 2017.
Game of Thrones: The Musical has delighted critics and fans alike across the United States. The show's critically acclaimed debut at the 2016 Minnesota Fringe won the Twin Cities Arts Reader's Critic's Pick and Best of Fringe Awards, was named a "Must See" by the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and was nominated for two Broadway World-Minneapolis awards. On the 2017 Hawaii Fringe Festival Circuit, the show sold out houses at the O'ahu Fringe Festival and propelled the Maui Fringe Festival to an all-time box office high, with 50% more ticket sales than the previous year's record.
2016 Minnesota Fringe Festival
A massively inappropriate children's show featuring vocabulary lessons, spoilers, incest, moral lessons, betrayal, and truly terrible puppet-on-puppet violence. All is not well in Westeros, where a simple visit sets in motion the War of Five Kings, dragon attacks, and worse. A skewering parody of the hit HBO show Game of Thrones and the bestselling novels by George R. R. Martin. If you like Sesame Street and/or adore Avenue Q, this is the show for you.
Game of Thrones: The Musical was written by Basil Considine.

I'm with you. 99% of my iPad usage is on an airplane or in a rental car. My iPad Pro with Create keboard weighs close to 3 pounds and the keyboard is more than the tablet. The unit weighs more than my Lenovo X-1, may as well carry that thing.

When Apple changed the design of the iPad frame starting with the Air, it cause keyboard cover manufacturers to have to do things differently. I have the Logitech ultraslim keyboard cover for my iPad 4 (and 2), but the ultraslim keyboard cover available for my Air 2 has an annoying lip where the hinge attaches to the iPad causing it catch when removing it from a bag/case.
I also have an Anker keyboard cover for the Air 2... it features an older-style hinge (nearly identical to the logitech ultra-slim for the iPad 4) but they have some goofy spacers that leave a gap between keyboard and iPad (when closed) and causes the keyboard to flex if my grip is too tight holding the combo.
At this stage, I'd like to see Logitech produce an ultraslim version of their Logi Blok keyboard case for the Air 2.
Why get emotionally torqued-up over this?
This hinge design that Zagg has been using forever seems great on the surface, as the user can place the iPad at any angle they want and it make the thing feel like a regular laptop. The problem is that the hinge is nowhere near durable enough to support that weight over time, and the hinge will get progressively looser, even with light use.
The only way to make a hinge for the screen is to develop in conjunction with the keyboard it attaches to. Everything else is second-rate.

I do have the belkin Qode pro V3, when coupled with my ipad has really opened up new dimensions in terms of productivity. But for the size and overwhelming cost of the ipad pro, i really do not think it is worth it. I paid £350 for my ipad, and £80 for the keyboard, this is the maximum i would spend on a tablet+keyboard, as the crux of the issue is in not way or form able to replace my rMBP.
Logitec has a very similar case/keyboard. Cheaper than the apple one and with background lit keys and a built in case. That keyboard was in my local Apple Store on day 1 of the iPad Pro sales.

Amen. All the talk about technological advancement and post PC world and yet buy an expensive tablet and then turn it into a clumsy laptop. All this for what? a touch screen m/c that runs a phone OS? It is beyond stupid and incomprehensible. If you are an artist or a graphics designer then iPad Pro with the pencil will make an awesome tool. But then those folks don't need a clumsy keyboard and the rest of the folks don't need the iPad Pro.
This has the makings of a terrific geek drinking game... take a drink whenever someone makes an emotional comment about physical keyboards and/or mice for an iPad.
I'm sticking with the apple keyboard, it seems to be the thinnest and lightest, plus I have no issues typing on it.
Yaaaay here's how to make an authentic Apple product look like a fake MacBook that doesn't have a rich OS.
MAKE AN APPLE "SURFACE PAD", PLEASE.

It has to be more than double the weight or it'd fall over backwards when you poke the screen to move the cursor.
I have the same problem with my clam academic for the iPad3, an excellent design apart from being top heavy.
