Have you ever thought you really wanted something, yet when you received your heart's desire you realized this was not what you expected? That was me in May 2013. It was my second trip to Albania and we were having the time of our lives. There is nothing more exciting than to see plans you have prayed and dreamed about come to fruition before your very eyes.
In fact, that trip proved to be more of a blessing than I ever hoped or imagined. A small team of women had joined me, our mission was to teach women how to teach the Bible and equip them to return to the churches ready to teach other women.
We had heard testimonies from many women who had attended the first conference eight months before. Leaders were being raised and lives were being transformed. Plans that God had placed in my heart many years before were materializing before my very eyes. It was an exciting time.
Albania is a beautiful county with beaches and mountains and it borders Greece; truly a Mediterranean paradise. It was no wonder that one day when I looked up at the mountains and saw the clouds gently floating around the tops of the peeks, I thought how wonderful it would be—to be up there surrounded by the clouds, it would be just like heaven. A few days later I found myself on top of the mountain in a van with the American and Albanian team.
What I thought would be a beautiful exciting adventure turned out to be one of the most terrifying times in many years. And I have had many "adventures" over the last 18 years in over 25 countries. The clouds were so thick we could not see the hood of the van. There were no guardrails, and in places the road was not wide enough for two cars to pass. Although we had an excellent driver it was impossible to see one foot in front of us. We might as well have had a blind person driving the car.
My unbridled fear had nothing to do with my own safety. My fear was that we would go free falling down the mountain and after the crash I somehow survived, while everyone would be resting easy in the arms of Jesus. Then it would have been my responsibility to tell all their loved ones what had happened. This would include my family, as my 85-year-old mother was with me. I just knew my family would disown me! And how would I tell a young boy that his mother was gone and two men that their wives perished on the side of an Albanian mountain?
About that time, my friend began to play a song on her phone . . . Whom Shall I Fear by Chris Tomlin. The chorus' repeats, "I know Who goes before me, I know Who stands behind, The God of angel armies is always by my side. The One who reigns forever, He is a Friend of mine. The God of angel armies is always by my side."[i] This was just what I needed to hear.
The God of angel armies, also known as the Lord of Hosts, is the Hebrew translation for Jehovah Sabaoth. Boy did I ever need to trust in Jehovah Sabaoth in that moment!
Psalm 46 gives us greater insight into how Jehovah Sabaoth helps us. This psalm teaches, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride . . . 'Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.' The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold" (vv. 1-3, 10-11).
What a comfort it is to know that God is our refuge and when we are in trouble He is the One who will run to our rescue. Jehovah Sabaoth gave me the courage to stop striving and know He was the One who was going to carry us safely down the mountain or safely home to be with Him. Either way I could trust my God who is over all the angel armies is on my side.
By now you realize that the Lord of Host did go before us and carry us safely down the mountain. He delivered my 85-year-old mother safely home. He safely returned a single mother home to her son and two other women to their husbands.
What about you? Are you in a situation that has caused fear in your life? Do you need the Lord of Hosts to go before you? Call out to Him in your day of trouble and know that He is God. He is calling you to stop striving and to trust in Him.

ALA Happy Mutants rejoice – Library Boing Boing is coming!
I can no longer contain my happy mutant self – I can finally announce a new ALA member interest group called Library Boing Boing. It's a new group full of awesome and win and triple rainbows (yeah, we're one-upping everything). But what exactly is LBB, you ask?
On the one hand, Library Boing Boing is a collaboration between ALA and the fabulously amazing Boing Boing folks to highlight all of the great new things libraries are doing. The most visible result will be regular posts about those great new things on the Boing Boing site itself.
On the other hand, Library Boing Boing: The Group has its own goals to help happy mutants in local communities connect with their happy mutant librarians to do good, work together on our shared interests, and make the world more better. Here's the official mission and goals for the group, as noted on the petition that LBB co-convener Jason Griffey submitted to ALA today.
To bring librarians and Boing Boing readers (aka, Happy Mutants) together to generate support for and raise interest in libraries via projects at local libraries.
Help find and propose content about libraries that could be posted to Boing Boing.
Provide active ways for Happy Mutants to support and get involved with their local libraries (eg, toolkits, best practices, ideas for local projects).
Create dynamic programming at library conferences that Library Boing Boingers can then take outside of the library community to promote libraries (eg, SxSW, local community events, etc.).
Work together to help Happy Mutants advance our shared interests (eg, copyright reform, net neutrality, game culture, digital divide issues, open government, etc.).
Coordinate an international community of librarians working with their own Happy Mutant groups.
So how do we make this happen? Right now there's a petition that any ALA member can sign to formally establish the Library Boing Boing Member Interest Group at the 2012 ALA Midwinter Meeting. Go sign now, because we need 100 signatures to #makeithappen. In Dallas, the ALA Committee on Organization (COO) will review the request and if they endorse it, it will go to ALA Council for final approval.
Then go join the Library Boing Boing community in ALA Connect where we'll discuss all of the great things the group can do and start planning how to implement them when the group is officially official.
Start dreaming big. What could a dedicated, motivated, inspired group of librarians do with both Boing Boing and their own local happy mutants? How can we spread Library Boing Boing goodness throughout the profession? I'm thinking of things like LBB Kickstarter and getting the first librarian speaker at TED (hopefully just the first of many). LBBers could also host local Boing Boing meetups at their libraries, and the LBB group could create a toolkit interested libraries can use to get started holding their own meetups.
And if you're coming to Midwinter, save your Sunday evening for the Library Boing Boing #alamw12 Meetup (details TBD soon).
Needless to say I'm pretty excited about this project. The co-conveners for the Library Boing Boing member interest group are Andrea Davis, Jason Griffey, and Patrick Sweeney. I'll be a staff liaison, along with Tina Coleman. All that's missing is you. We'll be posting more details in the community, but we need your help to get the ball rolling. Sign the petition, join the community, and roll up your sleeves, because we have a lot of great work to do together.
This entry was posted on Wednesday, December 7th, 2011 at 11:42 am by Jenny and is filed under ALA Civics Class, ALA Initiatives, How ALA Works. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
You all are so awesome it is hard for me to do anything other than BABBLE IN ALL-CAPS FOR HOURS ABOUT WHY THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.
I love the energy! I've signed the petition.
Does this mean we have a chance to get some BoingBoingers to speak at ALA conferences (and, say, the LITA Forum) for cheap? Weeee!
A seriously great idea, nice work!
Triple rainbow – OMG! What a great idea. Signed!
What can us laypeople do to help?
Let's go for a beer and gamestorm!
I'm totally psyched about this, in case you can't tell, but I'll need your help to pull this off so I appreciate your support.
To answer Cheryl's question about what laypeople can do to help, we'll have a form up soon where you can submit story suggestions for Boing Boing. That's the major startup piece so that we can build a flow of new content to post.
Then do the "dream big" part over in the Connect community so that we can hit the ground running with ideas. I know there's a lot more we can do than just the ideas that I've posted there.
I SECOND WHAT @ANDROMEDA SAID!!
Love the idea. Sorry it is so U.S. centric though. Not every librarian lives in the U.S. and is a member of ALA.
Actually, Library Boing Boing isn't U.S.-centric at all. We're already talking to folks at CILIP and IFLA about posting info about international libraries, and we're open to collaborating with other library organizations. If you're a member of one and would like to discuss how to get involved, feel free to email me at jlevine [at] ala.org.

Malachi Henry and the Lights
The Jankeys, Blazing Jane
San Diego-based quintet, Malachi Henry and the Lights is an alternative rock band deeply rooted in the raw and haunting sounds of early gospel and Southern soul, tempered with synth and sampled electronics.
When lead singer and songwriter, Ben Hernandez, left his home in California for North Carolina he eventually walked away from professional music as well. He continued writing though, crafting new songs that reflected his life in the South. They spoke of longing for the company of old friends, his time as a traveling salesman, and wrestling with spirituality. As he drove the stretches of highway and long-forgotten main streets through places like Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee, the sounds of Malachi Henry and the Lights began to emerge.
"I had come to a turnrow of sorts," says Ben. "I looked back at the music I had done in the past and realized that so much new and different music lay ahead me. So, after some heavy contemplation I turned back to the 'field' and went to work."
After returning to California, Hernandez assembled a band that would draw his songs off the page and give them a life of their own. And the timing was finally perfect. Ben recalls, "Each musician I reached out to, because of current or past band situations, all told me pretty much the same thing; that they were ready for something different, ready for music a little outside their comfort zones. I was ready for a change as well. Moving back to San Diego after living in North Carolina for so long, with new songs and new perspective on my music, was definitely humbling. I use this analogy a lot: that you need to prune a tree once-in-awhile to promote its growth and bear good fruit."
Malachi Henry and the Lights is the sound of well water flowing up from dry land. It's the shout from the back pew of a Wednesday night church service. It's the metallic hiss of thousands of cicadas pulsing from the trees.
The Jankeys
Açai bowls and cowboy hats never had better wingmen than The Jankeys. These jankey boys dock in North County San Diego and bring loose rock n' roll sounds with southwest vibes that leave enough reverb to drown the air out of a room. Not unlike a new wave T-Rex. They're less Velvet Underground, more corduroy mainstream; volcanic guitar surfs over submarine bass lines with a sea monster behind the kit. The Jankeys are the score to your favorite B-movie that just never got funded...
Blazing Jane
Blazing Jane was founded by John Sheppard (drummer) and Paul Harris (bassist). The two dynamic musicians weren't just looking to form a band, they had the desire to create the kind of original music that brings emotion, soul and a positive musical experience to an audience of people who want to hear good music, be told a real story, and dance (of course).
With the addition of multi-instrumentalist (and talented studio engineer) Sam Boukas on keyboards and the velvety, soulful singer and songwriter Lissa Dee, the vision began taking shape. The addition of guitarist extraordinaire Ken Gill brought the vision to fruition. The five piece band brings some serious excitement to the San Diego music scene. Their songs incorporate many different genres and styles such as, rock, blues and folk, performed with passion and a true love for music. The band is currently working on their first demo and will be out sharing their music on stage in the near future. Follow Blazing Jane to hear some exciting new original music.

Focused on: Healing, Support, Utility, Control.
A Firebrand support build for raids and fractals. This build brings a massive amount of healing, unique stat auras via Perfect Inscriptions, and a wide range of defensive utility including Stability, Resistance, heavy condition cleanse, and projectile destruction. With the right skills and traits, it can also provide high Might and Quickness uptime.
This build occupies an awkward spot in the current meta because its buffs overlap with Chronomancer - Utility Boon Support and Druid - Boon Support Healer. It is usually inferior in boon support to Chronomancer as it doesn't provide Alacrity. However, it makes a strong healer in fractals, or in raid squads that already have buffs covered.
Sword provides Fury to your subgroup with Symbol of Blades. It also provides a teleport on a low cooldown, useful on fights like Matthias where you move around a lot.
Staff provides additional burst healing and good Might generation with Empower. This is the best weapon choice for fractals where you are effectively replacing a Druid.
Hammer provides a knockback, immobilize, and Ring of Warding, useful on fights like Samarog where pushing/CC is required.
Greatsword provides an AoE pull and good mobility, useful on fights like Slothasor for pulling adds and dropping poisons.
If your group doesn't need the healing from Mace, you can also consider going without Mace entirely and running a Sword or Scepter. This results in better DPS and more consistent fury or might for your group respectively.
Mantra of Potence - provides might and quickness, mandatory if replacing Druid in fractals.
Signet of Wrath - alternative signet if the DPS in your subgroup deal mainly condition damage.
Mantra of Lore - in condition-heavy fights like Slothasor/Soulless Horror.
"Stand Your Ground!" - instant AoE stun break and stability, also provides quickness if 24px Stalwart Speed is traited.
Hallowed Ground - alternative stability/quickness option.
"Hold the Line!" - more protection and regeneration uptime.
Shield of the Avenger - destroys projectiles in fights like Arkk.
Wall of Reflection - reflects projectiles.
Hammer of Wisdom - more CC.
Bow of Truth - burst heal that can be cast from range.
Signet of Mercy - ranged resurrect and minor healing increase.
Note: ONLY take Sanctuary if your team's dps is low/can't cleave mobs fast. Or there are Mistlock Instabilities (We bleed fire, Outflank, Frailty, Adrenaline Rush) active.
Mantra of Liberation - multiple instant AoE stun breaks and stability (and quickness if 24px Stalwart Speed is traited).
"Feel My Wrath!" - helps to fill gaps in fury and quickness.
Renewed Focus - personal invulnerability and cooldown reset on tomes.
Honorable Staff if you're running staff and need to provide boons.
Force of Will if your party can't stay stacked in your symbols.
24px Stalwart Speed if you're the only source of quickness or you need to split quickness with the Chronomancer.
24px Legendary Lore if you're having a hard time catching people in your regeneration-granting skills.
Protector's Impact if you want more protection for your party.
24px Archivist of Whispers if you want spam a lot of tome skills.
Take Virtues instead of Radiance if you need more healing. This sacrifices the damage buff from Perfect Inscriptions and should only be done if you literally can't keep people alive otherwise.
Consecration. Form a protective healing shelter for allies. Foes and projectiles cannot enter.
only take if your team's dps is low/can't cleave mobs fast. Or there are Mistlock Instabilities (We bleed fire, Outflank, Frailty, Adrenaline Rush) active.
Take Valor instead of Radiance if you need more Fury and self-heal via Smiter's Boon and Monk's Focus . Only use if you are second support / healer in group.
Communal Defenses if you want extra Aegis.
Remember to also get alternate weapons with the same stats and sigils. At minimum you should have a Hammer and Sword. Depending on personal preference/raid tactics, you can also get a Greatsword, Staff, and/or Scepter.
If you're the only source of might in a fractal party, you should run Mantra of Potence and Honorable Staff, and have a staff in your second weapon slot.
This build give you more toughness and vitality for surviving (especially when fractal have Frailty). Also, you will grant 20% healing effectiveness with Force of Will.
If you're planning to play Support Firebrand in raids and high-level fractals, take note that Support Firebrand is not commonly accepted in party compositions. As of this writing, the commonly accepted or "meta" support classes are Chronomancer - Utility Boon Support and Druid - Boon Support Healer.
Chronomancer grants Quickness and Alacrity to allies.
Druid grants healing, Might, Fury, and unique buffs such as Spotter and Frost Spirit.
If you're in a raid squad that already has one Druid but no second healer, you can effectively fill a second healer slot. This is the most common scenario where a Support Firebrand will be accepted.
If you're in a fractal party, you can replace the Druid and cover healing, Might, and Fury. You can also split the responsibility of Quickness with the Chronomancer, allowing the Chronomancer to swap out Well of Action for more utility or DPS.
In disorganized parties that have no Chronomancer or no healer you can just carry them with your CC, boons, and healing.
An important note is to make sure your teammates know you are a Support Healer and not Firebrand - Condi DPS. This avoids awkward moments where you have to explain why you're lowest on the DPS meter.
Get your party to stack as closely as possible to you so they get the full benefit of your heals and mantras.
Your basic healing rotation consists of camping mace and using Faithful Strike and Symbol of Faith off cooldown.
For burst heals use Shield of Absorption, your 24px Tome of Resolve skills, and Merciful Intervention.
Keep in mind that the latter two have very long cooldowns; only use them if someone is in danger of dying even if you do your normal healing rotation.
Your general Tome of Resolve rotation is 5-4-3-1-1, with 2 thrown in if they need condition cleanse.
If you have a staff you can also use 24px Holy Strike and Empower for healing.
The most powerful tool you can provide as a firebrand is Aegis. Watch for big incoming hits, then mitigate them with Protector's Strike, Shield of Judgment, or 24px Restoring Reprieve.
This also improves your healing due to Invigorated Bulwark.
Bane Signet and Signet of Wrath give a large damage buff for 10 seconds after activation thanks to Perfect Inscriptions. Use them off cooldown and only delay them if CC will be needed soon.
You can also go into 24px Tome of Justice and press any skill to get an additional signet proc from Wrath of Justice.
Depending on your alacrity uptime, you can output 15-20 stacks of Might by using Empower and 24px Potent Haste. If running Virtues, you can also dip into 24px Tome of Justice to fill gaps in might.
You can't maintain 25 might solo unless you replace your mace with a scepter. In practice this isn't a huge deal because the remaining 5-10 might is covered by Chronomancers, Weavers, Dragonhunters, and random might blasting.
If you take 24px Stalwart Speed you can keep up permanent Quickness with Mantra of Solace, Mantra of Potence, and your aegis-granting weapon skills. Note that 24px Stalwart Speed has an internal cooldown of 8 seconds, so space out your aegis-granting skills appropriately.
Symbol of Blades will pulse Fury to your subgroup or party.
Use "Feel My Wrath!" to cover gaps in quickness and fury.
Empower and Symbol of Swiftness from Staff.
Shield of Judgment from Shield.
Depend on your main hand weapon or team component. you can use Symbol of Faith from Mace / Symbol of Punishment from Scepter/ 24px Symbol of Vengeance from Axe.
Use 2x Mantra of Solace (it will drop lesser Symbol of Protection if you use Protector's Impact) and 2x Mantra of Potence.
Use "Hold the Line!" and "Feel My Wrath!".
Active 24px Tome of Justice.
Active 24px Tome of Resolve then use 4 , 3.
Hammer of Wisdom - 2 charges of knockdown.
Banish and Ring of Warding if using hammer.
Line of Warding if using staff.
Chains of Light if using scepter.
because it will grant 300 toughness to yourself and nearby allies, potentially interfering with tank aggro.
can be used to pull adds together.
Use Mantra of Liberation, Tome of Courage, "Stand Your Ground!", or Hallowed Ground if stability is needed.
, Shield of the Avenger, or Wall of Reflection to counter projectiles.
Use Symbol of Swiftness when running between encounters.
An extremely strong healer for inexperienced groups or groups looking for a safer clear. This build can hard carry groups through common stumbling blocks like Mai Trin, Slothasor, Matthias, etc. with its excellent healing and defensive utility. It's also capable of soloing River of Souls.
This build is pretty fun. Druid its abit better, because deal more damage but this is still nice alternative, when you don't want to wait for druids. Also brings alot quickness, might and others boons + stability and reflect skill. Maybe I would add more situation skills.

Woman dies, infant seriously injured after car crash in Calhoun County
By: Bianca Cseke
EMMETT TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A woman is dead and an infant is seriously injured after an early Friday morning crash in Emmett Township.
Public safety officers were dispatched about 2:30 a.m. to the intersection of Main Street and E. Columbia Avenue and found two vehicles had collided, according to a news release.
Officers found a woman who had been driving one of the cars and an infant injured inside a vehicle, as well as a man who had been driving the other car outside of the vehicle.
Though officers began treating the victims in the first vehicle, they realized the woman was dead.
Paramedics from Lifecare joined officers to begin treating the infant, who had "significant" injuries.
The man from the other vehicle was not injured.
Crash investigators from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office were called to conduct a reconstruction of the crash and help with the investigation.
After further investigation, public safety officers took the man from the second vehicle into custody and transported him to the Calhoun County Jail.
The woman who died was a 34-year-old Battle Creek resident whose name is being withheld pending family notification.
The infant boy was transported to Kalamazoo Bronson, where his condition is currently listed as "stable."
Meanwhile, the man from the second vehicle is a 25-year-old Battle Creek resident whose name is being withheld pending arraignment.
He's facing charges of operating under the influence causing death and operating under the influence causing serious injury.
The Calhoun County Prosecutor's Office is reviewing the case.

Tow truck driver leaves Bernie Sanders supporter stranded
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina tow truck driver certainly isn't "feeling the Bern."
Kenneth Shupe tells FOX Carolina that he stopped hooking up a woman's car to his tow truck Monday after he noticed a sign supporting Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in rear window of the vehicle.
Shupe, who supports Republican Donald Trump, says he told her that he couldn't tow her car because she was "obviously a socialist." He tells the station that he told her to "call the government" for a tow.
Cassy McWade, who was left stranded, says she believes that the Shupe wouldn't want someone to do the same thing to him if the situation were reversed. Her mother calls it an act of "bigotry."
Shupe says he respects their beliefs and hopes that they respect his views.

Will Tribune Publishing be a paper tiger or new media lion?
The Tribune was founded June 10, 1847, when the Chicago Tribune published its first edition. The original press run consisted of 400 copies printed on a hand press. The newspaper has had eight locations since its founding, and the eighth — on Michigan Avenue — came with great fanfare. A competition was held to find the best design for the new building, and in 1925, the company completed the 40-story headquarters on the Magnificent Mile.

Q: What is the name for the image form you get you take a line segment and sweep it through a region of space? For instance, if you were to take a line segment and translate it along a coplanar path, then you'd get a plane.
If the path is cyclic and on that path you rotate the line segment on the axis perpendicular to the direction of the line segment, then you'd get the mobius strip.

A: Assuming you don't do anything too crazy with a line (like moving it along a space-filling curve), you will get a (part of) ruled surface. Two examples from Wikipedia: helicoid and hyperboloid.

The latest edition of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) Beige Book, released Wednesday, April 18, 2018, sustained a positive view of the U.S. economy. The Beige Book is a qualitative assessment of the domestic economy and each of the 12 Fed districts individually. The report is prepared eight times per year, ahead of each Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting—the next of which is set to take place May 1–2, 2018. We believe the Beige Book is best interpreted by measuring how key words change over time. The qualitative inputs for the April 2018 Beige Book were collected in the weeks prior to April 9, 2018.
At LPL Research, we created our proprietary Beige Book Barometer (BBB) to evaluate the sentiment behind the Beige Book collage of data. The BBB measures the number of times the word "strong" or its variants appear in the Beige Book less the number of times the word "weak" or its variants appear. When the BBB is declining, it suggests that the economy is deteriorating; when it's advancing, it suggests that the economy is improving.
The barometer fell to +55 in April, down from its March reading of +68, but still within its recent range. A reading at this level remains in line with our expectation of continued steady growth for the U.S. economy. The number of weak words increased by just 1 (from 17 in March to 18 in April), remaining near expansion lows. A decrease in strong words was the major driver behind this month's weaker reading. Historically, a solid base of strong words has been sufficient to indicate steady expansion as long as weak words are low, with a spike in strong words often indicating acceleration after a period of weakness.

Gaddafi envoys in Caracas for Libya crisis talks, says Chávez

Envoys from Muammar Gaddafi's government have flown to Venezuela to discuss ways to resolve Libya's conflict, President Hugo Chávez has said.
The visitors arrived in Caracas several days ago to discuss a solution that would put an end to Nato's "crazy" bombing, Chávez said during a televised speech on Tuesday. "A delegation sent by Gaddafi has arrived in Venezuela and we are seeking a peaceful outcome."
The Venezuelan president, who has remained loyal to his embattled Arab ally, did not elaborate on the delegation's visit but repeated his calls for talks between Libya's government and the rebels.
He also repeated his condemnation of Nato military strikes. "Who gave them the right to do this? It's crazy. Because they don't like the leader Gaddafi, because they want to take Libya's oil and water ... they are throwing bombs everywhere."
Speaking during a meeting of Latin American and Caribbean foreign ministers, Chávez said he wanted to find "a political solution to the drama the Libyan people were living".
He spoke amid growing concern in Moscow and Beijing that Nato was trying to assassinate Libya's leader. An air strike damaged Gaddafi's compound in Tripoli on Monday.
"We've had enough abuse, wars and invasions directed against third world countries," said Chávez. He has frequently accused the US of plotting to assassinate him to grab Venezuela's oil.
Last month he proposed that an international commission visit Libya to broker a truce but the idea was rejected by both sides.
On Monday Chávez expressed support for Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, in the wake of a crackdown on pro-democracy protests that has reportedly left hundreds dead. Venezuela's president blamed "terrorists" for the protests in the Syrian city of Deraa.

Q: How to Type A Generic List of objects? Each object includes a different Redux Action and Selector I need to iterate through a list of CHAT_SETTINGS and render a SelectComponent for each item.
function ParentComponent(){

    const CHAT_SETTINGS = [
        {
            title: 'order',
            choices: ['recent', 'aToZ'],
            selector: orderSelector,
            action: setOrderAction,
        },
        {
            title: 'display',
            choices: ['comfortable', 'compact'],
            selector: displaySelector,
            action: setDisplayAction,
        },
    ];

    return (
        <div>
            {CHAT_SETTINGS.map(setting => <SelectComponent {...setting} />)}
        </div>
    );
}

The SelectComponent looks more or less like this:
interface Props<T> {
    title: string;
    selector: (state: Store) => T;
    action: ActionCreatorWithPayload<T, string>;
    choices?: T[];
}

function SelectComponent<T>({ title, choices, selector, action }: Props<T>) {
    const value = useSelector(selector);
    const dispatch = useDispatch();

    return (
        <select
            value={value}
            onChange={(e) => {
                dispatch(action(e.target.value));
            }}
        >
            {choices.map((choice) => (
                <option key={String(choice)} value={String(choice)}>
                    {title}
                </option>
            ))}
        </select>
    );
}

✏ A Redux Selector and a Redux Action needs to be passed in via props.

These Selectors/Actions have the following types:

displaySelector: (state: Store) => 'comfortable' | 'compact'
setDisplayAction: ActionCreatorWithPayload<'comfortable' | 'compact', string>

orderSelector: (state: Store) => 'recent' | 'aToZ'
setOrderAction: ActionCreatorWithPayload<'recent' | 'aToZ', string>

So far I was able to come up with something like this...
type ChatSettingItem<T> = {
    title: string;
    choices: T[];
    selector: (state: Store) => T;
    action: ActionCreatorWithPayload<T, string>
}

const CHAT_SETTINGS: ChatSettingItem<
   ReturnType<typeof orderSelector> | ReturnType<typeof displaySelector>
>[] = [ ... ];

However, typescript keeps complaining about my actions, it says:
Type 'ActionCreatorWithPayload<"expanded" | "collapsed", string>' is not assignable to type 'ActionCreatorWithPayload<"recent" | "aToZ" | "expanded" | "collapsed", string>'.

Types of parameters 'payload' and 'payload' are incompatible.

Type '"recent" | "aToZ" | "expanded" | "collapsed"' is not assignable to type '"expanded" | "collapsed"'.
❓My question is: How can I have type-safety in this scenario?


Not only is this a great way of productively understanding the world as it changes around us, but it's also relevant to so many other discussions circling around the Computers and Writing communities for the past several years. Lawrence Lessig's Remix, is great example of a text trying to make a point similar to Chabon's, but is less accessible for various reason. I love that he uses kids and Legos to imply discussions of things like copyright, quotation, juxtaposition, creativity, and on, and on.
I guess the real point I'm trying to make here is that there's a lot I can learn about clarity and simplicity–that is, not "making" things simple, but "revealing" their simplicity–through careful, unpretentious, un-self-conscious prose. Which was, to be honest, the entire impulse to start this whole blog in the first place.

Q: jQuery .change not triggering I receive no console messages while modifying text in the input.

 <form>
    Old Password
    <input id="oldPassword" />

... and of course the rest of the form code.  Normally cutting the code down to such barebones reveals my problem, but not this time.  Any ideas?

A: Your code is working here, you probably need the keyup the change will be triggered when focus is gone out of input and you probably need the event as soon as to key is pressed.
Live Demo
$(document).ready( function () {
    $( "#oldPassword" ).keyup( function() {
        console.log( "Old Password Changed!" );
    });

"On the Rocks" is a song recorded by American singer Nicole Scherzinger for her second studio album Big Fat Lie (2014). It was written by Terius "The-Dream" Nash, C. "Tricky" Stewart and Carlos "Los da Mystro" McKinney, while the song was produced by Godz of Analog, Stewart, Nash and McKinney, with vocal production from Bart Schoudel. The song was released on October 10, 2014, by RCA Records as the third single from the record. "On the Rocks" is an R&B ballad where the singer laments and gets over about a failed relationship by pouring up a stiff drink. "On the Rocks" received negative reviews from music critics, who described it as outdated and criticized the use of Auto-Tune. The accompanying music video premiered on September 5, 2014, on Vevo.

Background
On August 19, Scherzinger announced via her Instagram account, that her second single would be "On the Rocks". Along with the announcement she posted the cover artwork which shows Scherzinger wearing "a plunging white dress" in provocative pose. On August 26, Scherzinger appeared on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show hosted by Scott Mills to premiere the track on the radio program.

Composition
"On the Rocks" is a power ballad further described as a "post-break up song". The instrumentation includes of "sad piano and sparse drums." Lyrically, addresses about a failed relationship and the way to get over it is by pouring up a stiff drink. At a part of the song she sings, "Let's take a shot, since you've been taking shots / And allow me to serve you this drink up on the rocks."

Critical reception
Brad O'Mance, writing for Popjustice, wrote that "One the Rocks" was "by some distance the worst single of Nicole Scherzinger's entire career." Melinda Newman of HitFix described the production as "slightly dated" that could "hamper its chances at radio in the U.S.". Writing Digital Spy, Lewis Corner echoed Newman's comments adding "that zest teased with 'Your Love' quickly evaporated, leaving expectations for Big Fat Lie unbearably low. Jacques Peterson from Pop Dust opined that "the lack of success for 'Your Love,' Nicole is now playing it way too safe with the generic follow-up single." A writer for MuuMuse wondered if it's one of the strongest songs of the album and criticized the use of Auto-Tune noting Scherzinger as "a verifiably very good singer." Writing for Idolator Bradley Stern also criticized the use of Auto-Tune and noted the song could serve as a B-side to Kelly Rowland's "Rose Colored Glasses" (2010).

Music video

The accompanying music video for "On the Rocks" was shot in Los Angeles, California. The visual was directed by Tim Mattia. Scherzinger said that "On The Rocks" is her favorite video she has ever done stating, "I just wanted the video to not feel like a music video, just really authentic and really raw. It's very empowering. It's a very emotional and personal song for me."

On the day the video premiered, a reviewer from Rap-Up described the video as "breathtaking". Bradley Stern, writing for Idolator described it as "appropriately dramatic" and praised Scherzinger's ability for "conveying the emotion of her music. Joanne Dorken from MTV UK classified the video as "sultry". Jacques Peterson of Pop Dust described the video as a mix between Eminem's video Love the Way You Lie and an Armani commercial.

Throughout the music video, Scherzinger is seen emoting towards her lover. Towards the end, Scherzinger finally leaves the toxic relationship with no feelings of regret.

Live performances
On October 22, 2014, Scherzinger performed "On the Rocks" at the MOBO Awards. On November 7, Scherzinger performed an acoustic medley together with Sam Smith's "I'm Not the Only One" for SiriusXM Hits 1.

Chris Hanson implemented a prototype and discovered that an implementation based on syntactic closures must determine the syntactic roles of some identifiers before macro expansion based on textual pattern matching can make those roles apparent .
Previous syntactic closure proposals did not have an identifier data type - they just used symbols.
The use of aliases to implement syntax-rules was invented by Alan Bawden (who prefers to call them synthetic names).

Author Interview: Adiba Jaigirdar
Adiba is an author we were very excited to interview! Her upcoming book is basically the sapphic rom-com of our dreams. The Henna Wars is due to come out in next spring and y'all should be counting the days, as we are.
She's also very active in the community (consider following her on twitter, if you aren't already!) & genuinely such a gem. We couldn't be more lucky that she agreed to answer our questions.
And a little side-note: now that Pride is over, we will be publishing two interviews each month, for as long as there will be authors willing to talk with us.
Let's start at the beginning. How did you first get into writing?
I've been writing for pretty much my whole life. When I was a kid, before I could read or write, I really loved storytelling. I was a super shy and awkward kid who hated talking to people who weren't my brother, or my cousins. Which meant that I spent a lot of time inside my own head. Writing just became a natural extension to that when I learned how to pick up a pen.
What are your favourite genres to read and write?
I love reading almost all genres, but favourite is definitely contemporary. For writing, I also love trying to write different genres but again, my favourite to write, and the one I most gravitate towards is contemporary!
And are there any genres or tropes you wouldn't write?
I think the only genre I wouldn't be able to write is horror. Mostly because I'm a total scaredy cat so I would scare myself on the opening pages and never touch the book ever again.
How do you get inspiration for your books?
In many different ways. A lot of it I get from general life, and my own failings (like the fact that I can't do henna led to writing The Henna Wars). But also sometimes I get "hatespired," which means I see/read something where people like me aren't taken into account, and decide to write myself into the narrative.
Do you have a writing playlist? And if you do, does it focus more on the lyrics or melodies, vibe of the songs?
Yes! I have writing playlists for every project that I work on. I try to make them into a mix of lyrics, melodies, and vibe, but vibe is definitely the most important thing because the music is supposed to motivate me to actually work on my books.
What's your writing process? At what point do you let other people read your drafts and who are they?
I don't really have a writing process. Or I have a different one for everything I write. I just like to go with the flow and see what works/doesn't work. I'm kind of protective of my first few drafts so it's only after the third draft, or so, that I send to other people for opinions—but that depends on the book too. Some books have cleaner early drafts than others. I have a close group of friends who help me brainstorm ideas and listen to me cry about my writing frustrations, so they're my go-to for reading my works first.
Which three authors would you say influenced your writing the most?
Honestly, there are so many authors and books out there that have influenced my writing in ways that I can't even begin to describe. But… being a QPOC, the most important influences have been the authors who have come before me and paved a way, and showed me (and others like me) that we need to be telling our stories and there are spaces for us.
The first person who did this was Malorie Blackman with Noughts and Crosses. I read that series when I was about thirteen or fourteen years old and it was the first time I read about people of colour. It really transformed how I viewed literature, and also how I viewed the world around me. I was also shocked because a lot of my white friends were really influenced by that book and how it talks about race.
The second author has to be Malinda Lo with Ash. It was one of the first times that I read a queer person in a book so that was amazing to read, first of all. But also I was just shocked that Malinda Lo was a gay Asian woman, because, to be honest, as ridiculous as it sounds, as a kid I didn't think people like that existed, because I had never been exposed to it. And the fact that Malinda Lo was not only a gay Asian woman, but also proudly writing queer literature was amazing to me.
Another writer who has had a big influence on me is Nina LaCour, who primarily writes books feauturing sapphic kids. Everything Leads To You was the first time that I read a book about queer girls where they got to be happy and just do things they enjoyed and not be wrapped up in tragedy related to their identity. And I just love that Nina LaCour's career is writing really brilliant and honest books about sapphic girls who are just…living their life, whether it's happy or sad, or whatever else.
If (when!) your book(s) were to be made into movies, who would you like to direct them?
I would really want a WOC director for any of my books. So my choices would be Ava Duvernay who I love, or maybe Gurinder Chadha.
And for something that is also very important to us & what we put a lot of emphasis on when blogging. What does ownvoices LGBT representation mean to you?
I think ownvoices LGBT representation is super important, and I'm glad that with time, we're getting more and more of it. Ownvoices LGBT rep means authentic rep that can help queer kids come to terms with their own sexuality in ways that don't make them feel otherised or enable them to internalise harmful ideas about themselves and their sexualities.
For example, a harmful trope that has been existent for a long, long time, and needs to end, is the "bury your gays" trope, which has been employed by allocishet creators in an attempt to "include" queer people, but without giving us a happy ending, and often by making it queerness that leads to the death of the queer character. Stuff like that has harmed, and continues to harm, LGBTQIAP+ people because it makes us internalise these messages that our sexuality means we can't be happy, and can't have happy endings.
Ownvoices representation battles these kinds of harmful tropes and stereotypes that have been existent in media for way too long, and instead works towards centering LGBTQIAP+ people and telling our stories realistically. Hopefully, with more and more ownvoices stories coming to the fore, we can get rid of some of these damaging tropes and ideologies forever so that future LGBTQIAP+ kids won't have to battle the same insecurities that many of us have.
Rec us some great LGBT books you've read recently! One can never have enough recommendations!
I have read some really fantastic LGBTQIAP+ books recently! First of all, Ace Of Spades by Faridah Ábíké-íyímídé, which is not out until 2020, but is fantastic and should be on everyone's radar! It's a mystery where the only two black kids in a prestiguous school are being bullied via text messages by someone who calls themselves Aces. And both the main characters are queer!
Like A Love Story by Adbi Nazemian is a book that I had the privilege of reading a little while ago, and it's quickly become one of my favourite books ever. It's a beautiful story about queer kids who lived, and loved, during the AIDS crisis.
(Related: Interview with Abdi Nazemian)
Another book that I recently loved is I Wish You All The Best by Mason Deaver, which is about a nonbinary kid who gets kicked out of their house after coming out to their parents'. It will probably make you cry but it's also so so fulfulling.
(Related: Our buddy read reviews of I Wish You All The Best)
I also loved Birthday by Meredith Russo. It's this brilliant book about two kids, Morgan and Eric, who have been friends their whole lives and share the same birthday. We only get a snippet into their lives once every year as they both go through some difficult things. It's an incredibly powerful story and will definitely stay with me for a long time.
What's one piece of advice you would like to give your younger self?
I would tell my younger self to just chill and stop being so worried about everything all the time. But also that is advice I can't even take as an adult so…
If you could have dinner with one member of the LGBT community, dead or alive, who would it be?
I have to say Janelle Monáe but it would be a really weird dinner because I would probably be too in awe over her beauty and general amazingness to do or say anything.
Adiba Jaigirdar is a Bangladeshi/Irish writer and teacher. She lives in Dublin, Ireland. She has an MA in Postcolonial Studies from the University of Kent, England and a BA in English and History from UCD, Ireland.

I feel like I'm getting closer to being the word Carer for my Mum, AKA Trish. I am trying not to freak the F out when she calls me in manic mode and says when are you going to have time for your old mum we haven't spoken in ages, Mum I was with you most of yesterday and Monday, and last Thursday….aaargh ….then says oh I can't get this beer open …so I am trying not to freak out when I told her Mum, every Wednesday, you know that thing I keep saying I'm writing, an you said oh Have You Given Up,( with a weird tone ) yeah that thing called my creative little world that I miss so dearly and feel like I've fallen off the end of the world,( please don't judge me, I do love tying to look after you but you have bleed into my mind and you wake me up at 5m sweating with disappointment that even though we have helped you move home twice in one year you are f -ing miserable, and can't be arse on such a major level and everything you say to me is wrong, because something is broken in you and you can't join in anything, and all you ever say is that there is no one in the lounge area its so dead nothing going on when last night on the most manic call with you you said theres a tall lady in the lounge and 3 people stretching – MUM THATS THE YOGA TEACHER I HAVE TOLD YOU ABOUT FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS SHE IS Doing YOGA AND YOU CAN JOIN IN – oh she said well I feel sorry for her only 3 people – if you went mum it would be 4 !!!!!!!
BREATH> so Mum, on a Wednesday I won't be around I am going out to Hebden to write and have some thinking space . Her Reaction at the time was not interested – oh right . The next day she calls Teresa – Debra is leaving me I have lost her she doesn't love me she said she liked being with me I have lost her .
I know this is the beginning of an end of sorts, I know I have to look after my own bloody sanity, I have to roll with these punches, I have to be something a bit more zen a bit more crazy, to go with this, to try and find some tonic, to try and stick up some boundaries made out off twigs and bits of polystyrene, and try not to sink into a deep cosmic sadness, I can do that, but I've done too much of that, and I know I'm not alone, so I just want to say I hope you don't judge me, I just needed to get this out of my mind, before I go out of my mind.
So I haven't written for ages and ages and today I feel sort of out of sorts feel this pressure of a day off a day off, off from other peoples wants from me, and now I have me wanting wants from me and where does this lead me?
Running running running away from all of it !!!!
And in the writing, and thinking I will come back to myself, come back Debs, its okay.
So todays thoughts are funny because I love all these awareness days, I wish there were more, like feeling sorry for self awareness day, or self sabotage day, or bigmouth 'on one' day.
Most of my stress comes from over stretching my love over stretching my capacity to help over stretching my levels of care, thats when i get it, and its really unfair because then I end up stressing out the person who is already not able to do stuff without me. Its a double pain. My poor Mum, we are in a constant loop of apologising to each other .
The other part of my stress is totally my fault . its this . Its the not bloody doing what makes me feel alive. Being on a stage, being a fool being connected to other humans, hearing laughter. Its same old same old shizzle. Same as it ever was same as it ever was.
so on this blessed bloody day off I give myself permission to be who I am and soak it all up, for one day this will all be useful in the creative mix the place where good things are made, are written, are said out loud, without apologising !!!!!!
To make a TV show about people who make solo theatre pieces called MAKE OFF – we see the contestants spending hours sitting on sofa's starring into space or making things with cuttings out of magazines or we see them on park benches crying talking to themselves " I've got nothing to say – I'm empty inside" …thats round one if they survive that the get put into a 'Space ' to devise set pieces using only what is in the room, there is no natural light . – and so it goes on – till the Final – 3 solo theatre makers in a disused industrial space with only one hour one light one prop to share the 'work'…..
Giddy to be part of PUSH Festival 2017 at HOME. It's great to be part of something in your own town because this town in a big town and there are many audiences within audiences in this town and THAT'S what I'm really looking forward to.
That and the chance to perform three nights in a row, like a long-jumper, three goes to get a Personal Best! As Esther says, "Everything is always working out for me" – I might get a Personal Best every night!
And sometimes things don't hit the spot, for example I had a bad day with my show last week, my head was blank, I had zero presence, and I started to wobble really quickly, I lost my story, my motive, and its a horrible feeling when you are the 'Show' when you only have you, and your just not feeling it. If I worked in a bookies or on reception in a Office maybe I could get away with it, I could fake it …But hey I will get over it I will recover the balance…to be human, to not be your tip top best all the flipping time, this is what I'm gonna try and embrace, and be gentler with my little self.
I want to send out a message today to all of us who push and pull too much with expectations beyond our means from time to time…..
The renaming of the Provincetown Inn from the Shinning to the Shimmering by Ken .
Breakfast time with all you legends ( you know who you are ) extra star points to Joey Arias for stunning black ensembles at the breakfast table ( extra points also to Heather Litteer for epic pre breakfast cycling/running…and for the laughing Raquel,Somer, Brian, Molly, Drew, Ken ….
The kindness and support I felt for my first performance on a International stage !!
I continue to hold that spirit .
Inspired by all of you .
Note to self : Don't forget there's a world out there…..
The Grapes of Wrath or is it Wine ?
Dear Diary, well I managed to get away from the coalface of work, work, werk and have ended up on the French Riviera in a house on a Golf Resort with a view of woods and golfers and an eagle ( Of course ) driving around in an BMW X3 ( I know – I didn't even know what an X3 was ) I feel peculiar like I'm in someone else's life – like a minor soap actor or a wife of a minor soap actor…anyway get to the point Debs !! Its all about Esther, Esther Hicks is doing stuff to me, she is teaching me the art of allowing the art of making absolute peace with where you are right now, about living the life you want to life now, creating the feeling of what it would feel like but feel it now about building up the law of attraction about feeling better thoughts better thoughts its all about feeling and having better thoughts …..the vortex the frequency the don't wait don't have bad thoughts if they make you feel bad…….but if you do have them be gentle with them …let yourself off, accept that moment….
And so my head has had space to think about the stuff I make – to give is some space to soak up fresh air to re-frame to really mean it…so set forth desires ..shoot up rockets of desire …..so come on lets all have what we want lets shoot up our rockets of desire …..
Bread and Butter, and how to get it on the table .
In a post show analytical mood, it needs to be done, so you can move forward but it means I'm back on the sofa, its tricky, the question now what ? Is in the front of my mind, and everything I thought I learnt last year on the sofa seems a little bit hard to reach and get hold of.
So I say to myself I want to be busy, Debs there is so much to do you can have busy, busy is right here in front of you …I want paid creative and uncreative work…I want the things I make to put bread and butter and cheese on my plate …its simple isn't folks its simple ….
today is about reaching out for ideas on on to put bread and butter on my plate and about not beating myself up for not feeling like I can achieve that.
so i'm floating out there ….
Huge thanks to Nicola Mostyn for a great piece in Big Issue North, where she interviewed me about A Place Called Happiness ahead of its premier at Contact.


Michael Campbell grew up in the Midwest in the 1970's amid the handicraft movement with a home full of macramé, decoupage, and papier-mâché. 1,600 miles away from Haight-Ashbury, he made God's eyes in Cub Scouts and glued macaroni onto wooden crosses in Sunday School. From an early age, handcrafted objects and the divine were connected.
Campbell's art explores mushrooms in both their natural role as 'decomposers' of dead, organic matter and as symbols of fairytales and altered states of consciousness. The bold red and white spotted caps of the immediately identifiable amanita muscaria are the iconic symbols of both vintage Christmas gnomes and of Siberian Shamans engaged in vision quests. Campbell references the depiction of these mushrooms here as the forbidden fruit in the Christian fresco found in the Plaincouroualt Abbey.

Precision cut from high quality adhesive wall vinyl in the color and direction of your choice with application tape fully applied.


When I was pregnant with G-Man, we went to Utah for the holidays and while there, we had family portraits taken at the mall with my family. I thought it was pretty rude of them to do that to me, but I got married a week after my sister had her first child and a month before my sister-in-law did, so I think they figured it was great payback. *grin* While we were there, the mall photographer asked if I wanted a photo of Diggity and I. We both shook our heads violently and started to walk away. Then I thought about it and figured, why not? We hadn't taken many photos of my pregnancy at that point, so we took the shot. It was a highly awkward pose - especially for the two of us - but I'm so glad we did it. Awkward pose aside, you can see in our faces how much we loved our little guy already and how excited we were for his grand arrival. I'm glad we have that one photo to show him. And I never would have sought out the opportunity to have the photo done.
I'm a fan of maternity portraits.
I was excited for this session. I've done maternity sessions before, but never with a studio set up. R. is having a little girl, so she brought such fun props and had great ideas for her photos.
Dear C. & R., You might be the cutest new-parents-to-be I've ever met! And it was wonderful to meet you. Congratulations!
