A survey conducted by the Barna Research Group in December of 2008 says that 20 percent of Americans have decreased their giving as a way of dealing with the current financial hardships. Twenty-two percent of that group have stopped their giving altogether.
A member of my board serves on the board of another large non-profit organisation. Most of his fellow board members work for para-church ministries. At a recent board meeting, they were all giving reports on how the economy has affected their organisations. It was all doom and gloom until they came to him.
The others said their income was down; they were laying off people, cutting back on their projects, and planning for negative growth. But He told them it had been a record year for us. We set new records for income every month in 2008. Even the last quarter of 2008, when the financial crisis finally came to light, was a record quarter. His fellow board members were shocked. When asked what made the difference, He told them it's was because our partners had been taught the truths on God's prosperity. That's the difference.
This is a great testimony to the power of God's Word and the faithfulness of our partners. Those who know the truth have been set free (John 8:32) from the ups and downs of this world's economic system. God supplies our need according to His riches in glory (Phil. 4:19), not the world's economy. It's that simple.
What's happened for our partners and this ministry isn't meant to be an anomaly. This is what God wants for all His people. Christians should be setting an example for the unbelievers of how God is their source. Their light should shine brightest in the darkest hour. God wants His people to prosper.
As I start talking about this, I know there is resistance from many people to this message of God's financial blessings. They associate prosperity teaching with greed and selfishness. And sad to say, prosperity preachers often flaunt their prosperity in a way that invites that kind of criticism.
I'm not against any other minister. Neither am I their judge. I just want to make it clear that I'm not preaching on prosperity for any selfish gain. Jamie and I live in a house that we built twenty years ago for $63,000. We've added on since then, but it's still a modest house by American standards. Most homeowners reading this letter probably live in a house worth more than ours.
The Lord blessed Abraham so he could be a blessing.
The Lord gives us His grace, which produces financial prosperity, so we can then abound unto every good work. If we desire to give more but aren't able to because of financial lack, then we aren't really prosperous. True prosperity isn't measured in what we keep but in how much we are able to give.
The reason we are to work is not to meet our needs but to enable us to bless others! I know that is a radical concept, but that's exactly what these verses are saying. Of course, God wants us to pay our bills and take care of our needs. Paul is speaking about priorities here.
I know some of you are saying, "If I was to do that, who would take care of me? My needs wouldn't get met." That would be true if there wasn't a God who said that when you give, it will be given back to you more abundantly than you gave (Luke 6:38). But you have some awesome promises from God that apply when you put Him and His kingdom first – the Lord will supernaturally take care of you.
The 'things' that this verse is speaking of is what you eat, drink, and wear (Matt. 6:25-32).
The Lord is saying that when we put His things first in our finances, He will see that our needs are met. And remember this: God is El Shadahi, not El Cheapo. The Lord will take care of us better than we take care of ourselves. The Lord doesn't mind us having things. He just doesn't want things to have us. This problem is avoided when we understand that God prospers us so we can be a blessing to others.
That's the testimony that I and my partners are giving. We have put first the kingdom of God, and He has taken care of us. In the last quarter of 2008, Jamie and I have actually had the largest increase in our investments that we have ever had. I don't know how it happened, but God did it.
I've had people come to me and say, "I don't like this prosperity stuff. I don't want more. I'm content with what I have." Well, I'm also content, but I want more so I can be a bigger blessing. You have to be blessed before you can be a blessing.
It's really a selfish attitude that says, "I've got mine, forget the rest of the world." If you've got all you want or need, learn how to prosper even more so that you can bless someone else. If you don't want more for yourself, then continue to prosper and give it to me. I'll use it to reach the world with the nearly-too-good-to-be-true-news of Jesus' unconditional love and grace.
God gives seed to sowers, or literally, gives money to givers; i.e. people who will put giving ahead of eating. There are really only two types of people – those who are eaters and those who are sowers. There are givers and takers. With eaters, it's all about them. When they get seed, they eat it. But givers put others and, specifically, God's kingdom ahead of their own needs.
However, God knows givers need to eat too. So this verse says the Lord will give you bread to eat and money to give. Actually, those who live to give will have more than those who live only to eat. This verse says God gives seed to sowers. So if you are short of seed, God must not see you as a sower but a taker. If He can get money through you, He will get it to you. That's the promise of this verse.
And here is a miraculous thing. As the money flows through, there's always plenty for you. I don't know how that works. There isn't any explanation except that God supernaturally makes it work. It isn't natural. You can't figure it out. You just have to put faith in these promises of God. This is why unbelievers can't operate in God's prosperity.
Jamie and I are living testimonies of these truths. We started out dirt poor. Our total income for the first full year of our marriage was $1,253. The second year it jumped way up to $2,500. I don't know how we survived. But we did, and we were giving way more than 10 percent of our income.
When we started our ministry, we decided to give all our materials away. We finally got to where we suggest a donation for the things we give, but we have still given away more than 6,000,000 tapes, CDs, books, videos, DVDs, and other materials. At a low-ball figure of $5 per item, that is over $30,000,000 worth of goods. That's not bad for people who had nothing.
How did we do it? By sowing and fanatically trusting the truths of God's Word on prosperity. We haven't amassed a fortune for ourselves, but we have been able to give tens of millions of dollars worth of valuable ministry materials to people all over the world. Add to this the 14,000-plus people per day downloading my teachings free through our website.
God wants to prosper you so you can be a blessing, and we want to help. In March I will be teaching about financial stewardship on the Gospel Truth television programme. I'm teaching this for the express purpose of countering the fear and negativity that is being forced on us through our ungodly media. This can be our greatest hour. This is not the time to panic or withdraw. We need to sow in the year of famine (Gen. 26:12).
Please request my teaching, Financial Stewardship. This is what is working for us and thousands of people. You can rise above the limitations of this world's system of finances and have all your needs supplied according to God's riches in glory. To request this powerful teaching please call our Helpline on +44(0)1922 473300, or go to our online shop.
P.S. For those who already believe these truths, we suggest you get this teaching to share with someone else. People are in need in this area and may listen to teaching on prosperity when they are closed to everything else. This is a great opportunity.


Jaman, since I won't be writing the rules, feel free to start with any version of the game you want. In fact, this whole game is in your hands right now, so you can do anything you want with it.
I can look for different scales too.
92% of teens (and 'young folks') have moved on to rap. If you are part of the 8% who still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature.
We could use the Urban War VASA, Viridian, and Gladiators in the game. Gladiators would be the Wasteland Gangs, VASA and Viridian would be the human colonies, now all we need to find are models for the ferals (PigIron miniatures have some Feral guys) and for the mutants.
I was looking at the Necromunda models and they seem to fit our idea perfectly. The Ratskins, Scavvies, and Pit slaves could work for the Ferals. The other gangs (except for Van Saar) would work as the Wasteland Gangers, and you could use the gouls and Zombies as the mutants. The Human Colonies would be represented with Urban War models and maybe even AT-43 models.
For the dynamics, you should try and make it as realistic as possible. I thought that we could have rules for getting into cover, flipping from one spot of cover to another, blind firing, destroying terrain with explosives. I also think that weather should play a role in the game, like if it's raining at night, the rain and darkness will make it harder to see and hear people (this could be shown by reducing the range a model can shoot and if a model can spot another model).
On the topic of models, I am sculpting Hunter Faction Models already.
WOLVERINES! wrote: On the topic of models, I am sculpting Hunter Faction Models already.
Yeah, that might not be the best of ideas as we haven't even figured out the rules or fluff for any of these factions and the game (well at least not completely). Maybe you should hold off on that just for a little while, but your enthusiasm is very appreciated .
Okay, Sage, Jaman, I got a proposition for you. I decided to sculpt the mini anyway since I had already mixed the green stuff, and it turned out pretty well. If someone can figure out how to cast models and tell me how, I cast make molds and copy them. I was thinking about making a Red Colony Soldier, and I was wondering what you thought of that, and what a red colony soldier would look like. I was thinking something like the old Valhallan miniatures for GW with the fur hats and coats. What do you guys think of all this?

Before we go ahead and say yes to this (although it is a good idea), I think you should PM us with pics of the model you sculpted, so we can see what you've done. I was thinking of sculpting the Red Colony troops myself, but if your work is nice, then we can leave it to you.

Responsible disclosure: who cares? presented at 44con 2015
by Dan Tentler, Oj Reeves,
Summary : Both Oj and Dan have been conducting security assessments for years. Occasionally a discovery is made which warrants discreetly contacting the vendor in question to let them know several thousand (or million) of their devices have a major vulnerability. Sometimes the vendor takes notice and subsequently takes action, however sadly on most occasions they either feign effort, completely ignore the researcher, or openly say 'go away'. These are a couple stories of how responsible disclosure was attempted, but the company in question couldn't be troubled to help themselves.
Dan will articulate the story of events surrounding the recent goatse-ing of a sign in Atlanta, Georgia. LED billboards are apparently just like every other "IoT" style device - completely open, completely public, you just have to know where to look. A little shodanning and one can find any number of colorful things on the internet. Dan will tell the story about his attempts to notify this sign company shortly before they got goatse'd, their interactions before and after and the demeanor in which one can conduct oneseself when going about turning a security disclosure into a conference talk. We will check live on stage to see how many of these things still exist, as well.
Oj will tell a horrible tale of his first ever disclosure experience, one that involved a very large vendor of consumer storage products. The story consists of initial vulnerability discovery, analysis, and exploitation, and then leads into what seemed like an endless back-and-forth with the vendor over a series of months. There were lows, and there were highs. The former outnumbered the latter. There was much derp! All will be shared in its lulzy glory, in gory detail, up to and including a discussion with the vendor's CSO. The story will end with an opinion. A strong one. Oj will also be trawling shodan to show how many boxes are still vuln. He will be going through the exploit step by step and explaining how things were discovered.

How London experienced the death of the Queen
Londoners listen to the announcement of the death of the Queen in the The King's Head pub in central London
Almost everyone knew it was coming, but when it came it was a shock.
In the King's Head pub off Piccadilly the pub suddenly went silent. The music went off.
Men and women crowded round the TV which switched to the BBC and the simple, dignified statement.
The Union Flag flies at half mast
The crowds were gathering at Buckingham Palace, where the Union Flag was flying at half mast, signifying her death.
The notice of the Queen's passing
A massive scrum formed around the railings, on which the traditional brief notice of her death was posted.
The police tried to keep people back, but with little success. The crowd – patient and good humoured – pushed forward to get a view.
Spontaneously sections of the throng broke into "God Save the Queen" – somewhat inappropriately in the circumstances, with its refrain: "Long may she reign over us" but it didn't matter.
The crowd at Buckingham Palace kept growing as news spread
There were the odd shouts of "God Save the King!" but that seemed odd too.
People arrived, carrying bunches of flowers: many British, but just as many people of all nationalities.
And the row of media outlets sent the message around the world: journalists struggling to find words to describe an event that had not occurred for over 70 years.

A senior Republican senator on Thursday insisted there is no partisan dissent over the need for a strong national cybersecurity policy but added that a Democratic-backed cyber bill that is stalled in the Senate is not the answer.
In a blog post in yourhoustonnews.com, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison noted that cybersecurity is a matter of "vital national importance" to both parties.
"Experts have long cited cyber-terrorism as one of the potentially most dangerous threats to national security," Hutchison said while noting the potentially "devastating" consequences of attacks against U.S. power grids, financial institutions and other targets. "The question is not whether we act to prevent such attacks, the question is how we act," she said in the blog.
Hutchison said a White House-backed bill called the Cybersecurity Act, authored by Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), takes the wrong approach to addressing cyberthreats.
The bill calls for the creation of a national standard for securing critical cyber assets and would enable better threat-information sharing between private companies and government agencies. The proposed legislation is stalled in Congress over Republican concerns that it would give the U.S. Department of Homeland Security too much control over cybersecurity matters while forcing private companies to adopt government prescribed standards.
Hutchison reiterated some of those concerns in her blog. The bill would provide "weak" legal liability protections for companies that want to cooperate with one another and "pre-determined government mandates would decide what cyber information should be shared by government," she said.
In contrast, the GOP-backed SECURE IT bill , authored by Hutchison, John McCain (R-Ariz.) and five other senators is a better option, she argued. "The bill authorizes essential legal liability and antitrust protections for companies that want to work together to combat cyber threats," and requires government agencies to share relevant information with them.
"The SECURE IT sponsors are concerned that the Lieberman-Collins bill would deter cooperation rather than encourage it. And we worry that it ignores cybersecurity's biggest challenge: constantly and rapidly evolving technological threats," Hutchison said.
The blog post comes two days after Hutchison and the other sponsors of the SECURE IT bill issued a joint statement expressing disappointment over the Senate's failure to pass bipartisan security legislation as the House had done earlier this year with the controversial CISPA bill.
Before Congress adjourned for its August recess, lawmakers from both parties had shared a commitment to work toward a compromise bill that would gain bipartisan support in the Senate, the statement said. But that didn't happen, and a premature vote on the bill was forced in the Senate instead, the statement claimed. "When it returns next month, the Senate should address cybersecurity, but not in the 'take it or leave it' manner the Majority Leader pursued," before the recess.
The statement and Hutchison's blog post are unlikely to do anything to resolve the bipartisan divide in the Senate over cybersecurity legislation. The original Cybersecurity Act proposal has already been heavily revised to accommodate concerns but still remains unacceptable, while SECURE IT so far has failed to gain much traction among Democratic lawmakers.
The White House has already indicated that it is considering the use of an executive order to protect critical networks if Congress fails to pass broadly acceptable cybersecurity legislation in a timely manner. The timing of such an action remains unclear.

We'd like to say that when this condition first emerged, factories stopped using white phosphorous and switched over to the safer, costlier red phosphorous.

Still, if people want a better standard of officiating, then there is a simple solution, and again the political parallel is apt. In a YouGov poll taken after the 2009 expenses scandal, 60 per cent of people said MPs were overpaid. Just five per cent thought they were underpaid.

Arcadio De Balaguer y Costa fue el 18.º Presidente del Fútbol Club Barcelona entre 1925 y 1929.

Biografía
Muy vinculado con la ciudad de Castelldefels, una de cuyas calles lleva su nombre, probablemente nació en dicha ciudad o vivió en ella muchos años. Era hijo de Arcadio De Balaguer y Bruguera y de Concepción Costa y Vila, que fue una de las mayores propietarias de dicha ciudad a finales del siglo XIX, y la persona que cedió los terrenos para la construcción de su actual cementerio y de la iglesia de Santa María en 1909, financiada por el banquero catalán Manuel Girona i Agrafel.

Ocupó la presidencia del Fútbol Club Barcelona desde el 17 de diciembre de 1925 hasta el 23 de marzo de 1929, cargo al que accedió por su amistad personal con Miguel Primo de Rivera y con el rey Alfonso XIII. Durante su mandato, el club superó una grave crisis interna, tras la dimisión forzada de Hans Gamper (que se suicidó en Suiza un año después), consiguiendo el equipo su primera liga española, dos campeonatos de España y tres de Cataluña. Fue nombrado Barón de Ovilvar mediante Real despacho el 12 de mayo de 1930, (el Real Decreto se había emitido el 27 de enero del mismo año); título que ahora lleva su nieta Ángeles De Balaguer y Sánchez-Arjona desde el 3 de julio de 2001, a la muerte de su padre, José María De Balaguer y De Pallejá ya que el nieto de José María De Balaguer y de Pallejá (Don Jorge De Balaguer y De Nadal) lo rechazó.

Siguiendo con la tradición familiar, en la década de los años 20, Arcadi De Balaguer y Costa dio dos parcelas junto a la iglesia parroquial para la construcción de un nuevo ayuntamiento y de un grupo escolar en la calle que ahora lleva su nombre, el que fue el colegio Lluís Vives, que en 2006 se trasladó a otro barrio de la ciudad, pasando el antiguo centro escolar a ser al sede actual del colegio Josep Guinovart. También donó al Ayuntamiento la masía de Can Ballester o Can Gomar, que desde el año 1975 aloja el Casal de Cultura de la ciudad, tras haber sido restaurada. A principios de la Segunda República, el consistorio le pidió permiso para construir una fuente pública y poco después, en agradecimiento, el Ayuntamiento le recompensó con el título de hijo predilecto, siendo uno de los pocos de los que se tiene constancia que se les ha otorgado este título.

Se sabe que gracias a sus influencias políticas consiguió que la electricidad y con ella el alumbrado público llegaran a Castelldefels.

Car doors that automatically lock can help with the safety of securing your vehicle. Automatically locking doors will lock all entrances to the vehicle upon the occupants exiting the car. While this is perfect for occasions when you take everything with you, if your vehicle locks while the keys are inside, this can be a major problem. One of the prime times where this may happen is during pumping gas. Here is what you should do if you get locked out of your vehicle's automatic doors while pumping gas.
Either with your cellular phone or with the phone inside of the gas station, call a lockout service. This service should specialize in lockouts of electronic entry, as some vehicles no longer have a key slot to unlock via a manual key. Also be sure that the service can be dispatched immediately and remain inside if the weather is inclement in any way. Ensure that you have a line of sight to your vehicle so that you know when the lockout service arrives.
When the vehicle unlock service arrives and lets you into the vehicle, ask how to disable the lockout function. Many times, vehicles that lock automatically when you turn off the car and close the doors have a way to disable the function. If the function is disabled, you will be able to pump gas or run into a store without worrying that your car will lock on you before you turn out. Your lockout service may be able to perform the function for you and instruct you on how to turn it back on when necessary.
One item that most people continue to keep on them is their cellular phone. A lot of business people will have a work phone line and a personal phone line. Tablets and computers also offer similar function with applications and downloads. Read through the owner's manual of your phone or call your dealership to determine if you can sync your phone with an application that will allow you to unlock your vehicle. If this is possible, download the proper application to your electronic devices. This way you can remember to take your cell phone with even if you do not take your keys when you run into a place for constant vehicle access.

Could anyone tell me what "luftpost" means?
My pal enclosed lots of pictures and a postcard from her trip this summer to Iceland, and they're all beautiful! Here is the postcard. I think this is my first postcard from Iceland.! XD I'm a BIG fan of hot springs, so I'd LOVE to go to this outside hot springs on the upper left picture in the postcard. Looks so nice!!!
The northern lights in the postcard (right bottom) is so beautiful. When I was living in Canada, I saw beautiful northern lights every winter. I miss them so much! It was like a treat in the cold winter over there. :D Have you seen the northern lights?
This wonderful letter and the handmade card is from my pal in the U.S.
Cute stamp from UK! :D I love the mustache! By the way, what does "Movember" mean???
What lovely mail! Love the stamps too and the beautiful card of Iceland. Oh, Luftpost = Air Mail.
I didn't think that it would take this long for a package to travel to Italy, so I'm a little worried. Hope you will get it soon!!


A great deal has already been said about the yes-he-really-said-it Frank Artiles saga.
— Artiles is a world-class jerk.
— What he said goes far beyond the limits of acceptable.
— This was not his first foray into the unacceptable.
— Artiles needs professional help.
— The Senate President needs to either send him home for the session (so presumably he can get some much-needed help), encourage (also read as "force") him to resign, or use whatever power is afforded him to have him removed from office. Something!
But there is another element and let me be among the first to write it.
Hey, senators not named Frank Artiles, now it's your turn — and, unfortunately, there is a burden that probably falls to the black members and then the Democrats, in that order.
This is uncomfortable, and a little unfair, but the calls for an apology or sanction are not enough.
The members of the Black Caucus, in particular, know American history all too well — heck, they are living embodiments of what peaceful civil protest can yield. And they know, perhaps better than their colleagues, the power that sitting, standing, staying or leaving can have.
So here goes: If Artiles shows up to a committee or on the Senate floor, they should quietly stand up and leave. The Black Caucus members need to lead on this and, as a show of solidarity, their fellow Democrats should leave as well. I can easily take this to its natural conclusion and say ALL members should rise and quietly leave.
Not for themselves. Not for the press. Not to force the hand of the Senate President. They should walk out because their voters will genuinely appreciate that they would not sit (literally) for such utter nonsense. Members of the Black Caucus need to express zero tolerance for Artiles' comments and his behavior.
Artiles, by merely being in the room, degrades the legitimacy of the body. Likewise, sharing the dais or the floor with him adds an element of complicity to those who tolerate his presence.
Sorry, senators. I don't mean to make you the target, but not taking more serious action is almost tantamount to acquiescence.

Preorder A Fish of Earth
Emily Brown releases her third full length album A Fish of Earth
Sep 4, 2020 • Kyle Benson
OAKLAND, CA 9/4/20 - Some two years after the release of glowingly reviewed and fan-favored full-length album Bee Eater, folk singer-songwriter Emily Brown is releasing a brand-new LP. Her newest record, A Fish of Earth, is a brilliantly orchestrated folk mythology that tracks the highs and lows of living in relationship. It's set to release on October 23rd, 2020.
Pre-order for A Fish of Earth is available on Bandcamp today, along with the first single from the album, "Game Show." "Game Show" is available on all music platforms. It's a tongue-in-cheek folk monologue on the complications of wanting and not wanting to have a kid in the modern world.
Emily and a host of collaborators recorded A Fish of Earth at Studio Studio Dada in Provo, Utah. The album was arranged and produced by Brown's longtime friends Bly Wallentine (Bat Manors, Jesse QT, Little Moon) and Stuart Wheeler (Quiet House). The album was mastered by Jack Shirley (Deafhaven, Jeff Rosenstock) of The Atomic Garden in Oakland, CA.
Pandemic concerns prevent Brown from scheduling a tour at this time, but she will be conducting a virtual tour via Instagram takeovers with various musicians and music venues. Follow her at @emilybrownmusic on Instagram and Twitter to keep up with virtual shows and lineups.
A Fish of Earth is comprised of 11 tracks, ranging from short, immediate ballads like Marianne (a succinct 57 seconds) to dreamy, oceanic meditations like "But You Might Rise" (a whopping 9 minutes). It's a departure in some ways from Bee Eater's jangle-pop influenced anthems. Instead, A Fish of Earth rambles and ruminates, showcasing Brown's impressive vocal range and carefree yet virtuosic love of language.
Emily Brown currently lives in Oakland, California where she recently graduated from Mills College's Creative Writing MFA, emphasizing in poetry. Her impressive vocal range, wandering melodies, and conversational lyrical style have drawn frequent comparisons to songwriters including Joni Mitchell, Phoebe Bridgers, and Fiona Apple. While in college, she was a founding member of folk bands Book on Tape Worm and Porch Lights. She was also a touring member of folk-pop group The National Parks. As a solo artist she has opened for or performed with Laura Veirs, Anna Tivel, and Mindy Gledhill.

The cheapest apartment from the number offered for rent in Moscow became the "odnushka" in one of the houses near the metro station "Domodedovskaya". This is stated in the materials of the company "Inkom-real Estate" ("Ribbon.ru").
The apartment is 42 square meters with nice furnishings, screened balcony, and modern appliances for rent for 20 thousand rubles per month, but this offer is only available for a short period — from may 1 to November 1, 2019.
The three cheapest offers also includes objects near the metro station "Shchelkovo" and "Izmailovo", listed for rent in 23 and 24 thousand rubles per month respectively. Both apartments are furnished and rented for long term, their area is about 22 square meters.
Fourth place went to the apartments in panel five-story building in the East of the capital. Housing on Amur street is proposed to be rented for 25 thousand rubles per month. Fifth place belongs to the apartment on the street molostovyh in the transport accessibility from the metro station "Novogireevo". 32-foot long object exhibited at the property for 26 thousand rubles per month.
Previously, experts of the company conducted a study and revealed that about 35 percent of the capital's rented apartments rented by the owners of the retirement age. On the market for rental rooms of older owners more than half. According to statistics of Incom, that rental housing is the most common source of additional income Moscow pensioners.


on Jun 16, 2001 at 21:48 UTC ( #89075=perlmeditation: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
The problem is to write a perl golf (a solution in the fewest characters) to solve Kaprekar's Process. Kaprekar's Process basically states: "Take any number and arrange its digits in descending order and in ascending order and subtract. Repeat with the result. Ad Infinitum." Eventually, all 3 digit numbers (except when all digits are the same, like 333) will end up as 495. This is called Kaprekar's Constant. The program will return the number of steps it takes to get to 495.
Your subrutine will recieve a 3 digit number; you may assume it is positive and that all the digits are not the same (i.e. you do not have to worry about error handling).
P.S. If it is still unclear to you, visit this website and look for Kaprekar's Process on it.
The interesting thing about this is that it's not the same as right-formatting the number via sprintf, since the 0 goes to the back, but it doesn't matter because the digits are reordered anyway.
I make your original 79 chars.
You're double-quoting the code, which means that the variables are getting interpolated into undef 0-length strings.
Update #2: Changed shift to pop, another 2 characters off. Thanks srawls!
ZZamboni: pop is shorter than shift; you can take two chars off of that.
Aarrrgghhhh!!! I'm going crazy here. I can't seem to figure out why something is working the way it is; could any of you help me? I left all my debugging print statements there so that you can run it yourself and see the same results.
## the line below doesn't seem to work!!
For some reason, the map statement in b() is resulting in that strange "312321,123312" results ... which for the life of me, I can't figure out why.
I have a feeling it's something stupid, but I can't see it. Can anyone else?
Your map statement is working fine. The problem is that you have assigned a value to "$,", which is the output field separator variable. Its value is printed when you use a comma in a print statement.
That's odd...I tried running this on my system. First I just did the map statement, and assigned 123 to x. This worked perfectly. So, I got a little confused as to why it worked for me, and not for you, so I tried to run the whole script. However--and this is quite a big however--it resulted in an infinite loop, printing out large, negative numbers on my machine. Is this the exact code?
Oh, it loops indefinately, all right. I ran it | head. And yes, that is the exact code.
Btw, I split the subroutine up into individual statements for debugging. It used many fewer temporary variables at first.
Update:Changed code from 65 chars to 61.
There are many such cases, though I misstated the problem somewhat. It isn't so much zeroed digits, as intermediate two-digit results. So far, all the solutions in this thread (except my own :) fail on many three-digit numbers.
Also, in Golf, it may be ok to violate strict, but your subroutine should be re-runnable (ie. $i should be reset somewhere).
Oh, I see: 100 - 001 is 99; 99 - 99 is zero. Now we've got an infinite loop. Just out of curiosity, how would you solve that? Your solution gives 6 (which is most likely right), I just don't see how.
This doesn't work for a lot of numbers, because you're checking AFTER the sort, for 459, which could've been 459,495,954,945,549, or 594 before the sort. your code gets the right answer when it was anything EXCEPT 495 before the sort.

Usain Bolt seeks missing $12.7 mln from Jamaica investment firm
By Abdulafeez Olaitan On Jan 18, 2023
Olympic champion Usain Bolt is seeking to recover more than $12.7 million that disappeared from his account with a Jamaican investment firm and is willing to take the case to court if necessary, Bolt's attorney said.
Bolt last week was informed that his account balance at Kingston-based Stocks and Securities Ltd (SSL) had inexplicably dwindled to just $12,000, lawyer Linton Gordon told Reuters late on Tuesday.
"We will be going to court with the matter" if the company does not return the funds, Gordon said.
"It is a grave disappointment, and we are hoping that the matter will be resolved in a way that Mr. Bolt will recover his money and be able to live in peace."

SSL said in a Jan. 12 statement that it had become aware of fraudulent activity by a former employee and has referred the matter to law enforcement, adding that it had taken steps to secure assets and strengthen protocols.
SSL did not immediately respond to an email or phone calls seeking further comment.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force said on Monday that its fraud and financial investigation teams were probing "alleged fraudulent activities at (SSL) which are said to have affected the accounts of Mr. Usain Bolt among other individuals."
Finance Minister Nigel Clarke said on Tuesday night that SSL had allegedly committed "alarming and evil fraud" and that authorities would "bring all perpetrators to justice."
Bolt's account was intended to serve as a pension for the eight-time Olympic gold medalist sprinter and for his parents, Gordon said.
Bolt retired in 2017 after dominating global sprinting for a decade, reviving a sport plagued by doping scandals and becoming a household name like Brazilian soccer legend Pele and American boxing champion Muhammad Ali.

This paper presents the technique which combines optical tomographic and two-color parametric techniques for the three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of temperature distribution of a burner flame. Flame images are acquired using eight optical fiber bundles and two RGB CCD (charge-coupled device) cameras from eight different directions on one side of the burner. The new tomographic algorithm which combines the LFBP (Logical Filtered Back-Projection) and SART (Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique) is proposed for the 3-D reconstruction of the gray-levels for two primary color (Red and Green) images. The temperature distribution of the flame is then determined from the ratios of the reconstructed gray-levels of the two primary color images based on the two-color principle. Experimental results on a gas fired combustion test rig are also presented and discussed. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique is effective in measuring the 3-D temperature distribution of the flame.

Gwyn Love Unveils Her "Glow'd Up" Video | PopWrapped
As a relative newcomer to the music world, who made her debut just one year ago, Gwyn Love – with her brilliant blend of bold yet sultry electro-pop, and contemporary R&B – has already earned herself 13K monthly listeners, 120K Spotify streams, over 700K YouTube views. She's also had her releases featured on popular playlists including Spotify's "It's A Bop" and "Apple Music's "New Music Daily." Today, PopWrapped are delighted to premiere the video for her latest single "glow'd up."
Asked about how the song came to be, Gwyn explains: "I was in the recording studio in Vancouver when this song came to me. My ex had hit me up while I was in the studio recording with Louise Burns. Louise loves to do this thing where she sings random phrases while she's talking and I had caught onto that after spending a week with her. I playfully sang "all my ex's keep hitting me up, yeah they're hitting me up". She was like "is that a song or did you just make it up?" I told her I had just made it up and she told me it should be a song."
She goes onto add: "I went to Toronto the next week and finished this super cheeky song that had me dying laughing as I was writing it. While recording with La+ch, he said he thought the song was going to do super well because of how easy it was to produce/write. It all just fit so well. Super stoked for this one."

Meet me in Toad Suck
Some people collect stamps; others collect coins. I collect place names.
There are some odd ones out there, such as Odd, West Virginia, and some normal ones, like Normal, Illinois.
In my retirement from the newspaper business, my wife and I moved to North Carolina, which is a bonanza for the goofy gazetteer.
When we lived in the Blue Ridge for the first time, many years ago, we lived in Meat Camp, just north of Boone, so, I'm not casting stones here. This is just my hobby.
But North Carolina can claim: Bloat Springs Landing; Chuckle; Lizard Lick; Canal Gut; Sandy Mush. There is Whynot, Stumpy Point, Frying Pan Landing and the ever-popular Forks of the Pigeon.
Among the state's watery ways are Greasy Creek, Cuckold's Creek, Bawdy Swamp, Stinking Quarter Creek and Pinchgut Creek. Cudda Bum is a stream named for an old geezer nicknamed Cudda whose favorite expletive was "Bum."
There is Bachelor's Delight Swamp, Heartsease, Honeypot Swamp.
Short names that come spitting out of the mouth are among my favorites. North Carolina has Brief, Emit, Few, Alert, Askew, Aho, and Duck.
If you are a nervous sort, you can take your vacation at Boring Creek. If money is a problem, you can go to Budget Falls.
The state offers, too, Easy Street, Frog Level, Hairy Bear, Hanging Dog, Graphiteville, Airbellows, Cane Bottom, Brittle Ordinary (and its cousin, Burnt Ordinary). There is Cash Corner No. 2, but not No. 1. There is Radical, Gobble Creek and Kill Quick.
But names all across the country speak eloquently for the spirit of America: Accident, Md.; Bivalve, N.J.; Coupon, Pa.; Dwarf, Ky.; Oblong, Ill.; and Waterproof, La.
Then, there's Looneyville, Mud, and Sod, W.Va.; Oiltrough, Ark.; Peculiar, Mo.; Bad Axe, Mich. Can you imagine what the good ol' boys are like in Cat Mash, Miss.? Or in Frogmore, La.?
Texas has a few, like Cut and Shoot, X-Ray and Goodnight, but isn't Damsite better?
Texas is big enough for both a Frog and a Frognot.
Numbers are surprisingly popular: Eighty-Eight, Ky.; Eighty-Four, Pa.; Ninety-Six, S.C. But Arkansas wins with both Fifty-Six and Forty-Four. A high-school sportscaster's nightmare: "And here is a late score, Forty-Four over Fifty- Six, 75 to 68."
The numbers can add up, too. Starting with Zero, Miss., and climbing the ladder through One Horse Store, Ark., and Double Run, Ga.
Three Lakes and The Four Seasons are both in Washington; Five Corners and Sixes are in Oregon. There are Seven Devils in North Carolina and Octavia in Nebraska. Nine Mile Corner in Colorado and Tenville, Iowa.
Leavenworth, Kan., comes next, followed by Twelve Corners, Wis.
But the inflation gets going after that, with Centennial, Wyo., Gross, Neb., Thousand Oaks, Calif., Four K's Estate, N.D., and Million, Ky.
Somewhat more modest is the ambiguous Many, La.
You can plot these names thematically. Start with food, for instance: Spuds, Fla.; Cookietown, Okla.; Noodle, Texas; Celeryville, Ohio. There are dozens more.
A whole subsection can be given over to our favorite steaming beverage: There are Coffee counties in three states. Also: Coffeeville, Miss.; Coffeyville, Kan.; and Java, S.D. If you can't get enough of the Hot Coffee, Miss., go to Coffee Springs, Ala., where it must flow from the ground. And if you have problems sleeping after all that Coffeen, Ill., try a little soothing Cocoa, Fla., instead.
There are towns out of place. Manhattan shouldn't be in Kansas; Philadelphia shouldn't be in Mississippi; Madrid shouldn't be in New Mexico. And what is Mexico doing in Maine? Probably the same thing that Jersey Shore is doing in the middle of the Pennsylvania mountains.
Miami is in at least six states; Dallas in eight, not counting Dallastown, Pa., and Dallas City, Ill.
You can drive from Saginaw to Reno to Omaha to Nome, and take side trips to Detroit and Barstow and never leave Texas.
There are Minneapolis, Kan.; Atlanta, Mich.; Duluth, Ga.; Boston, Pa.; Baltimore, Ohio; and Taos, Mo. Phoenix shows up in Phoenixville, Pa., Phenix City, Ala., Phenix Mountain, N.C., and Phoenix, Ill., N.Y., and Ore.
Even whole states get misplaced.
There are Florida, N.Y.; Vermont, Ill.; Ohio, Ky.; Mississippi, Mo.; Dakota, Neb.; and Wisconsin, Pa. Nevada and California each show up in four states; Delaware shows up in six. The champ is Wyoming, which you can find in 10 states and the Canadian province of Ontario.
There are Nevada, Ohio, and Ohio, W.Va. There are Wyoming, Del.; Delaware, Ind.; and Indiana, Pa. There are Colorado County, Texas; Texas, Okla.; and Oklahoma, Pa.
To say nothing of Owyhee, Idaho.
Before I get down to unveiling my Top 10 list, I want to say a few words about some very special places. I haven't been to all of them, but I have at least passed through a good many of them.
They all have names that make you sit up and take notice. Places such as Whynot, N.C.; Humptulips, Wash.; Box Springs, Calif.; Nameless, Tenn.; and Scarce Grease, Ala.
Americans have shown an amazing inventiveness for naming the places where they live. You wonder just how much civic pride there can be in Bummerville, Calif., or Worstville, Ohio, but you have to wonder even more why such names were chosen.
I'm sure each name has an interesting history, if you have the time and inclination for the research.
Take Toad Suck. Please.
There are people who don't believe Toad Suck, Ark., is real.
Well, I've been to Toad Suck. It is a lovely little place, stuck on the tree-lined sides of the Arkansas River about 8 miles west of Conway.
There isn't much there, it is true, but there is a state park, a convenience store and gas station, the Toad Suck Embroidery Shop and a big sign on the local real estate office that says, in big, friendly letters, "Welcome to Toad Suck."
The reason the town is there is also the reason it was named: There was a ferry here that was once the only way across the river between Memphis, Tenn., and Hot Springs, Ark. The mail had to go through, so in 1823, the Toad Suck Ferry started operation. It was a skiff just large enough for the ferryman and a horse and rider. It was poled from shore to shore.
Among the notable people we have records of crossing the Toad Suck Ferry are Sam Houston, Washington Irving, Zachary Taylor and Jefferson Davis.
The location also became a wood stop for the steamboats that ran up and down the river, and sometime before 1850, a tavern opened up to irrigate the steamboat crews.
There is no certifiable explanation for the name of the ferry and the town that grew around it, but the official version goes thus:
The drinking was so heavy at the tavern that a traveler remarked on seeing it that "those fellows suck at a bottle till they swell up like toads!" And the name stuck.
Well, I've been reading place-name origins long enough to recognize a folk etymology when I see it. I don't believe it at all, but I have no alternative.
There is also the Toad Suck One-Stop, a convenience store and gas station where you can buy a T-shirt emblazoned with the town name for $14.99 or a ballcap with the same for $8.95.
The most I can tell you about the people who live there comes from Glenn Peters, who was selling watermelons off the back of his pickup truck. It was nearly 100 degrees in July, with humidity nearly 100 percent. Peters sat in the shade of the One-Stop sign behind the truck.
He's a meatcutter by trade. I know because that was one of the first things he told me. He also said he keeps his hand in a little farming. He's not from Toad Suck, he said, but from about 40 miles north. This year, he thought he'd try some pumpkins and watermelons. He had hoped to have them ripe in time for the Fourth of July, but the wet season slowed their maturity, so he is hawking them instead two weeks later.
And why did he drive his watermelons all the way to Toad Suck to sit in the awful heat of midday?
"There's a lot of melon-eating people around here."
But it isn't the perfectly reasonable explanations for the names that interest me, rather, it is the names themselves. Correctionville, Iowa. Jot 'Em Down, Texas. Yelling Settlement, Ala.
All of which brings us to the list:
My Top 10 most peculiar place names in the United States (not counting Peculiar, Mo.)
10. Waterproof, La.
9. Cheesequake, N.J.
8. Oblong, Ill.
7. Humansville, Mo.
6. Odd, W.Va.
5. Imalone, Wis.
4. Monkeys Eyebrow, Ky.
3. Toad Suck, Ark.
2. Chicken Bristle, Ill.
And the No. 1 Most Peculiar Place name: Brittle Ordinary, N.C.

I just read this! Oddly enough, I knew a guy in college who was from this part of the country. When he told me about 'Toad Suck Ferry', I laughed so hard and the name has been with me every since then. He had an epithet that went along with it, which I would have to share with you in person (it's kind of naughty). I like some of the others as well but Toad Suck Ferry is just a wonderful slice of Americana! I am anxious to read the other articles when I get a few minutes. It seems you have been busy writing in your retirement!

< Back to Articles
Professional bareback bronc rider Jasen Olsen loves being a cowboy. His passion and excitement for the sport inspire others, moves them to tears, and exhilarates them.
Olsen's remarkable drive and endurance for bronc riding goes far beyond what is imaginable. Two days before competing at the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association Rodeo (NSPRA) in Wickenburg, he competed in Gilbert with a broken leg and placed first in the bronc riding. On Feb. 13 at Everett Bowman Arena in Wickenburg, he competed again with a broken leg and had an eight-second bronc ride that earned him 68 points, giving him a lead in the world standings.
Olsen didn't break his leg riding broncs however; he was teaching his 10-year old son how to skateboard down a half-pipe ramp. "I went down, snapped it clear in half," Olsen said. "I live in the middle of nowhere, so I had to put it back together and drive three hours to the hospital."
Despite his injury, Olsen persisted through competition using the strength of one leg. Two of his friends traveled from out of state to lift him on to the horse so he would be able to ride. "It's just what we do," Olsen said. "I think it's normal."
For 35 years, Olsen has been competing in rodeos. He has ridden thousands of broncs all over the country. Olsen grew up in South Jordan, Utah, and recalls admiring his cousin who rode broncs. "I thought it was so cool," Olsen said. "It was speaking to me and I knew I wanted to be a cowboy." At age 14 Olsen was riding broncs. "I've always done it," Olsen said. "This is what makes me want to live. I can't explain what it's like to get on one of the best horses in the world. They jump out and they're giving everything they've got and you're giving everything you've got. The adrenaline is just running through you and it's awesome."
One of Olson's favorite things about rodeo is that it brings communities together. He thrives off of crowd feedback and the thrill on children's faces. In 2019, Olsen won the World Title. "I've wanted to win the World my whole life and it took me 34 years," Olsen said. Olsen's passion for bronc riding is compelling and immeasurable. He exemplifies the spirit of rodeo through grit and endurance. Nothing can stop him from riding. Not even a broken leg.

Federation University Newsroom
New Vice-Chancellor brings a world of experience to Federation
Federation University Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Duncan Bentley.
For a child growing up in Botswana, the Okavango Delta's vast ecosystem provides learning experiences that can be carried through life.
The delta, where the Okavango River flows into the Kalahari Desert to form a giant wetland, is famed for its many species of protected wildlife. This was where Federation University's new Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Duncan Bentley spent part of his youth, having moved there with his family for his English-born father's work.
"I was born in Nairobi in Kenya on a coffee farm. My father went out from England to seek his fortune and went into coffee and so I was brought up on coffee farms in Kenya and Zimbabwe," Professor Bentley said.
"We had a period, when I was a child, in the Okavango Delta where my father was running a game reserve and lodge. We ran photographic safaris and I learned all about flora, fauna, preservation and sustainability on the ground in Botswana. That's stuck with me all my life – it was quite amazing being up close and personal with the wildlife."
Professor Bentley completed a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws from the University of Cape Town. He went on to complete a Master of Laws from the University of London. There he changed tack and studied chartered accounting, working for Ernst and Young.
"I married a girl whose family is from New Zealand. The idea was to go from London to New Zealand but we stopped on the way and ended up in Sydney and I joined what is now PwC," Professor Bentley said.
"Then there was an opportunity at Bond University who needed a tax lawyer. I thought it looked like an interesting opportunity and that's how I got into academia. I've been in academia ever since."
Before joining Federation, Professor Bentley was Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) at Swinburne, leading the academic, international, online and Indigenous portfolios. Previously, he oversaw vocational education, external engagement and international at Victoria University.
Professor Bentley said Federation was in a strong position to build on its history and being a dual-sector university embedded in its communities, was a great advantage for a regional university. This has been reinforced by the recent Good Universities Guide results, which saw Federation achieving the highest five-star rating in 14 out of 21 undergraduate and postgraduate categories.
"We look after students from every sort of background, which is why we're first in Australia for first-generation students, because whatever their passion or their career or their calling, we've got a place for them and we can pathway them through all the different building blocks they need in order to fulfil their dreams. That's a wonderful environment to work in," Professor Bentley said.
"What I really find so attractive about Fed Uni is the focus on students and the real dedication to student experience and building skills and capabilities, so the students come out and they can get jobs and they can get good salaries and they can fulfil their dreams."
Professor Bentley believes digital innovation needs to be part of Federation's lifeblood, pointing to the success of the Technology Park at Ballarat – the oldest of its kind in Australia.
"It has been hugely successful and we need to build on that success with our new innovation centre at Morwell. And we have a point of differentiation with our Brisbane campus because that is all about innovation and industry," the new Federation Vice-Chancellor said.
Professor Bentley has been involved in international education for 30 years and said while the pandemic had paused international students flying to Australia, the university is working closely with international partners to continue its rich global collaboration as this was "absolutely fundamental" to the globalisation of knowledge.
Life in smaller communities still resonates with Professor Bentley who said there was no better time to be in regional Australia.
As the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, the regions are poised to play a leading role in Australia's economic recovery.
"Research all over the world has shown that the regions are going to drive the economic growth of states and countries – that's what we're seeing from state and federal governments – there are reviews underway to see how we can establish our regions as areas of economic growth," Professor Bentley said.
"To do this you need new jobs, and skills and capabilities to meet those jobs. COVID has given us a situation where people want to move out of the cities, so we're seeing growth already in people moving to the regions around the rest of Australia. And that will only increase because the regions can offer lifestyle, jobs and wonderful highly sustainable communities. Professor Duncan Bentley
"We've got to be moving away from this idea that is common in Australia where the university is separate from communities and businesses. That only happened in the city because there weren't enough jobs and connections to go around. It's quite the opposite at Federation where we should be so embedded in all of our employers, whether it's health, education, government and the small and medium-sized enterprises, which are absolutely blossoming across the regions. We should be absolutely embedded in those employers and providing the skills they need when they need them, as they create new jobs and grow the skills of their existing workforce."
"This is the time for regions – it's an ideal time to be at Fed Uni."

The Worthless WALKING DEAD
In "Worth," tonight's WALKING DEAD, Negan makes his presence known at Sanctuary and deals with his disloyal lieutenants Simon and Dwight.
That's it. That's the plot. In a better-written series, this would have been a subplot in an ep about something else. Here, it's the featured--and nearly sole--attraction, with only a rotating handful of scenes with other characters to pad out the rest. There's only one more ep left in the season; this was just a standard TWD delaying action to get things there.
There are a few scenes with Aaron, camped out beyond the Oceanside community, that exist primarily to get in a zombie-fighting sequence. He hasn't been there long but seems to be nearly dead from exhaustion, hunger or something. His community terrorized the ladies of Oceanside and stole their guns. Now they have none but he's trying to recruit them to fight the Saviors, presumably with the sticks and stones Rick left them.
Last week, Rosita and Daryl were scoping out Eugene's ammo plant and there seemed to be a lot of Saviors around. On tonight's ep, set the next day, the operation appeared to consist of seven or eight people and only two armed guards. Our heroes swoop in, take out the two heavies carrying guns and hijack Eugene as he steps outside but there's no reason they couldn't have just stepped inside and taken out the entire operation, taken away as much ammo as they could carry, probably even recruited the workers. Instead, they just take their prize and leave. Minutes later, Eugene escapes them using a ruse that wouldn't have fooled a 7-year-old.[*] By the time he makes it back to his shop, a lot more armed guards have turned up and he's assured the security situation has been addressed.
Where in hell did the Saviors find any more gunmen? I spent a lot of time in my previous review pointing out that no matter how many Saviors Rick and co. have killed in an entire season devoted to systematically killing them, an endless number of replacements are being continuously written into the story. Savior manpower should be down to practically nothing by now but instead, it's as if Eugene had invented a respawning cheat. It's been a recurring absurdity throughout the back end of this season. When Negan drops the hammer on Simon, he kills Simon's loyalists too--7 or 8 more guys. The two then move inside for a final hand-to-hand battle to the death and that respawning cheat has been working overtime again--there may be a hundred other people present to watch the festivities:
And even that doesn't include those who are elsewhere (like at Eugene's ammo factory). So after a whole season of all-out war, taking out Saviors left and right, the Savior force looks about the same now as it did at the end of last season before a shot had been fired:
They aren't even trying.
Not much else to add; it just wasn't much of an ep.
[*] UPDATE (11 April, 2018) - About this, regular reader Jim the Hammer writes, "I like how Daryl, the hillbilly who in season 2 was able to track Shane and that kid through a forest, in the dark, to the extent where he points out who walked where and when, etc.... is unable to discern Eugene's cartoon escape method in a pile of ashes. In broad daylight. Once again, established character traits/abilities get thrown out the window to advance a plot point for the simple reason that the writers couldn't think up a reasonable and more believable method to do so."

Excellent point, and I feel like kicking myself for not thinking of it myself. But Daryl failing to recognize this just underlines something that already incredibly stupid--a trick that wouldn't have fooled anyone.
On THE WALKING DEAD, No Wrath Need Apply
THE WALKING DEAD Still Don't Mean Nothin' v.1.5


With Bob Grip retiring at the beginning of 2019, it appears WALA-TV has found a native son to help with anchoring duties.
The station announced last week that Byron Day has joined FOX10 and will be anchoring the 5 p.m. news along with Lenise Ligon. Day is a Mobile native who got his start in television at WALA.
"I'm getting to come home and do what I love. To do it with a team that values commitment to community and solid journalism is an incredible opportunity. I'm looking forward to joining Bob, Lenise, and the rest of the FOX10 family," Day said in a press release.
New Director Scott Flannigan believes Day's local connection will help him easily establish himself in his new role.
"It is rare to find someone with Byron's combination of experience and deep local roots. It's that emotional connection with the Gulf Coast that will resonate with viewers. This is home for Byron, and we're happy to welcome him back," Flannigan said.
Day has anchored in Memphis, Tennessee and Raleigh, North Carolina, in addition to his work as a sports anchor for the national networks, including NBS. He is a graduate of the University of South Alabama.
Day will start on-air beginning in April.
WALA-TV racked up some big awards at this year's Alabama Broadcasters Association Awards banquet in Hoover last weekend. Tops on that list was being named TV Station of the Year.
• Judges Merit Documentary: "Quest for Answers" (Kati Weis, Renee Dials, Franz Barraza, Kellie Jones, Randy Merrow and Bill Flowers).
Contrary to popular belief, running a smaller, local newspaper isn't all just making up fake news and counting stacks of cash. Newspapers at every level have had to fight over the past decade to stay relevant, and in many cases, to stay in business.
A lot of the staying relevant part has to do with covering local news, and the papers that don't understand their primary mission certainly have reason to struggle. But the staying in business part is a little more complex. Newspapers fight a constant battle to convince advertisers print is not dead. In Lagniappe's case, for instance, we have independent demographic research showing about 80,000 people read us each week and we even increased our circulation 20 percent two years ago, but it's still never an easy sell, despite the big radio conglomerates being in bankruptcy and the myriad problems social media faces.
Now, tack onto that a border war with Canada that is causing newsprint prices to spike, and newspapers have another major financial issue with which to contend. The Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission are currently considering tariffs on Canadian newsprint — the lower cost paper that has allowed many newspapers to stay afloat in the internet age.
These tariffs are coming essentially to help one paper mill in the Pacific Northwest. Throughout most of the rest of the country there are no mills making newsprint, so printers and newspapers buy from Canadian mills. Tariffs could drive those print costs up by as much as 30 percent. And for most newspapers, print is already the second biggest cost behind payroll.
It's not as if these tariffs are going to make U.S. production of newsprint suddenly cheaper or more available. All it will do is help the bottom line of one mill while damaging hundreds and hundreds of newspapers.
If having healthy local newspapers matters, write your Congressman and the Department of Commerce and let them know how you feel. And help support great local journalism by advertising in Lagniappe and buying a subscription. We intend to be here for the long haul, but ridiculous tariffs don't make that goal any easer to achieve.


It's nice when songwriters step onto the stage as artists themselves. Phoebe Ryan who's based in LA, has done just that so nicely here. Strangely though, she's first caught our eye though with a cover mash-up of R Kelly's Ignition RMX & Miguel's Do You Like Drugs. It's fun & playful and with vocals reminding us of one of our favourites, Zella Day, there's good enough reason to be spinning this for some time yet. We can't wait to hear the originals soon!
