Then there was that bit of trouble, remember? I saw Mommy kissing you underneath the mistletoe that night. How was I to know Daddy was wearing your suit? But I didn't shout, I didn't pout. I was nice. I'm wise to that list you keep and check twice. I did not want a couple lumps of coal instead of that Red Ryder BB Gun. Thank you, I see fine with one eye. It's not your fault. Besides, it got me out of the draft back in '68, so all in all, that was another good Christmas for me.
What did Grandma do that pissed you off that night? It was just the worst time of the year for such a journey, the ways deep and the weather sharp, the very dead of winter, and all of that. But getting run over by reindeer is a hard way to reaffirm one's belief in myths. Did I say myth? I mean the true spirit of X-mas and, of course, your existence, Santa. I shall be glad of another sale.
Last year I asked for RAM and got Mary's little lamb. I meant computer memory, Santa. So, now that I know you have a low tolerance for ambiguity, I am going to keep this short, sweet, and specific, OK?
First, all I want for Christmas is a room somewhere. Please make it far away from the cold night air. Lots of chocolate for me to eat, but forget the figgy pudding, ok? And make it a big room, and soundproofed because when all the faithful come joyful and triumphant, they make a lot of noise.
Second, please bring You Know Who a puppy. I saw a doggie in the window, one with a waggly tail. Tan cute; its ears were grown long and its tail cut short. But the price was astronomical, so that little dogie can just git along, that's its misfortune and none of my own. Heah!
And, wow, did you pull a fast one on me again this year! Fool me twice and all that. While no one was looking, except for California, the other guys swept the election. They must have composed quite a letter last year.
Anyway, my third wish, dear Santa, is same as last year's: Oh please, wise up that pendejo in the White House. War is not Peace. Bring the troops home now.
As I promised, I'm keeping this short and to the point. Here's hoping all your wishes come true, too. As you say, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night."
P.S. Enjoy the mutton stew.
so they're all facing north.
I've got all my family here.
never have to see it.
Against her wide green thighs.
And poured into the throat of day, turquoise and lapis, emerald and jade.
The moon hums against her skin.
Who spirals through a thousand lifetimes and dances Kali or Quan Yin.
Look, the animals are searching for their reflection in her face.
And swims from this opening into Mother Ocean.
In her net of fish scales and seal bone.
The tangled roots of our lives coming to fruition.
The river is a mirror for our bodies.
Are filled with that song.
The speck of sand turning into pearl.
set my mood for a serene, fulfilling day.
I wake as the world awakes.
daybreak for comfort, creativity, vigor.
grows golden to the birds' serenade.
rubbing sleep from their eyes.
I call out in the four directions.
and to the west, tauhi, tauhi.
open my arms and embrace the world.
there is nothing I cannot do.

This writing was written from the bottom of my heart. Much of the time people do not realize the hardships that an American girl faces in a relationship with a man caught up in this broken immigration system. She is caught in between two structures amongst her peers. She lives with her man who feels degraded because he has to depend on her for his basic needs. He depends on her for the simple things we all take for granted, and he can only invest emotions with her. These emotions become dysfunctional. His "Gringa" is an "Angel of the Arizona Divide", because only an Angel could survive the circumstance. She cries everyday, and lives in the shadows with him. Watching employers, landlords and everyday people brand him with the "stereotype". When she talks about him to her working class peers they think it's OK to ask if her man is an "illegal". By night her man's underground friends do not care for her much either, because they resent the fact that she is a citizen and has the basic needs that she needs. Her man loves her deeply but they are trapped within a mainstream culture, and an underground culture. This feels much like she is struck with a knife when she hears this label. She becomes angry, frustrated, depressed, and her psychological state becomes self-destructive with dysfunction. In this poem she is an "Angel" and in her dreams she crosses the border with her man for the second time, after he faces a deportation. He appears 14 days later in her town in a yellow taxi cab from NYC. He made it home alive. He didn't die in the desert from dehydration. He wasn't abandoned by criminal Coyotes, but now she waits for this horrible system to change. She waits, and waits and waits. She has to be an "Angel" to survive.
The beautiful poem River, stole my heart and set me adrift on beautiful images. River helped me traverse through all the poems and stop at their banks to learn their wisdom.

What does the monumental MOMA exhibition of Abstract Expressionist paintings currently on at the AGO have to do with cycling and triathlon, or sport of any kind? Well, far more than may be immediately obvious.
While not as concrete as Mike M's graphs measuring transition times (see post below), much of the work seeks to measure, represent, and engage with gradients of emotion even as it changes, jars against, and so contradicts itself—when, paradoxically, abstraction becomes precise.
It is this continuous back and forth across a spectrum of emotion that I find so compelling about the show…whereby standing in front of any one piece, at a slightly different angle, from farther across the room, for the second or third time, the shades, even the textures seem to shift. To my mind, this is how we, as complex and dynamic beings, actually experience emotion. It is also this range that I am becoming familiar with in Ironman training, and why I have so much respect the distance. The more time spent "out there," the longer the continuum of emotion one confronts and so needs to mitigate, be moved by, contain, turn off etc. For me, Mark Rothko's huge colored rectangles in the Abstract Expressionists show offer a perfect visual for the loaded "blankness" of my own facial expression on the long 5-6 hour rides I've been doing. It's an expression that my training partners and coach have come to know well. My normally smiling and talkative self adopts a silent, blank, on-the-verge-of-eruption-determined stare. It's a look that conveys at once a cranky, "hurry up and get this done," and a "this is outstanding" appreciation for the moment. This resonance is what I kept hearing, seeing, intuiting throughout the AGO show. In witnessing the formed formlessness of so many masterpieces of abstraction, I kept hearing my coach say "uh-oh, Suzanne's not talking anymore…" As I answer her in barely audible mumbles, she knows I have entered that other place—a place of focused intensity wherein we are both present and absent at the same time.
Rothko advised of his work that "If you are only moved by colour relationships, then you miss the point. I'm interested in expressing the big emotions—tragedy, ecstasy, doom." For my inaugural Ironman, I'd really like to channel the ecstatic,and can do without the feelings of tragedy or even doom, but if they emerge for a second, I now know they will pass quickly, in a pedal stoke, in an armful of Mirror Lake, in a footfall on pavement. I can't wait.

Emily Brew: Creating a Better Colgate
Emma Weiss, Contributing Writer
Emily Brew, a senior from Westchester, N.Y., is a political science and Middle Eastern and Islamic studies concentrator. Brew knew she would probably study political science before coming to Colgate, and was convinced after taking professor Michael Hayes's course on Congress, her most engaging and interesting class of sophomore year.
Brew did not intend on focusing on Middle Eastern studies at all, as she was unaware that the concentration was even an option. After taking former Visiting Professor Amanda Rogers's Core Middle East class, however, she was hooked.
"It's been really cool because this minor is so different. I'm able to take art and other types of courses that are different from my political science classes, which is a great way to balance the two," Brew said.
Brew is extremely involved on campus, finding meaning and bringing passion to each of the activities to which she commits her time. The first club she joined as a first-year was club soccer as a way to continue her love of the sport, but also to meet new people.
"It was fun to have that team atmosphere right off the bat," Brew said.
Brew also tutors kids at a school about 20 minutes away from Colgate's campus. Additionally, she joined the President's Club Student Committee when she was a first-year to express her commitment to and personal emphasis on philanthropy in her own life. This year, as a senior, Brew decided to join the Senior Class Giving Committee to further her passion for helping others.
"I mostly choose to give to financial aid because I know that there are so many people that don't come to Colgate because they don't get the package that they need to allow them to come, and I think people come from different walks of life here, but we can incorporate even more people. I think the way to do that is through financial aid, so that's where I've given my gifts to since [my first-year]," Brew said.
After graduation, Brew will be moving to Washington, D.C. and working in government and public sector consulting.
"I'm really excited about this job because it incorporates political science, but also will be different," Brew said.
Every senior likely has aspects of Colgate that they think highly of while also having certain qualities that they wish they could change.
"I love the Colgate community. It's made the four years so different than if I had gone to another school. Where we are, and the type of people that come to Colgate, make it such a tight-knit place and it has really helped me grow," Brew said.
When asked about an aspect of Colgate that she wishes could be changed, Brew mentioned that the way in which we respond to wanting change on this campus is not always productive.
"There are different roads to how we can change campus, and I sometimes feel like we can be a little specific with signing a petition and thinking that we're changing things," Brew said.
Brew believes that the Senior Giving Committee can work towards targeting certain aspects of the Colgate community that students have identified as needing extra attention. She gave the example of a Medusa Movement fundraiser in which donations were matched by alumni and then doubled — a first step in creating change in how instances of sexual violence are treated on our campus.
As a graduating senior, Emily Brew has undoubtedly left her mark on this campus, contributing in many ways to student life and the betterment of the Colgate community.

Q: How is it possible that class is implementing only methods(protocol) that it needs? I got a code where the specific class is implementing the protocol, the protocol has (ex: 3 methods), but the class is implementing only one of them.
protocol MyProtocol {
 func a()
 func b()
 func c()
}

class Foo: MyProtocol {
 func a() { ... }
}

and this works, but magic is if I add a new method in the protocol eg: func d(), I got an error that class Foo doesn't implement all methods of the protocol.
What is a diff between my new method func d() and others that class Foo also doesn't implement? But on my method, I got an error, and on others no...

A: This means b() and c() have default implementations. If you search for extension MyProtocol in the codebase you should be able to find their default implementations.

Issue Analysis
The Shadow of Yesterday's Triumph: Why Kicking the Can Down the Road on Welfare Reform Is Not a Solution
This summer, America will mark the 22nd anniversary of the enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act. Reforming welfare was a prominent part of then-Speaker Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America" as well as President Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. After lengthy negotiations and a couple of vetoes by President Clinton, the measure was passed with bipartisan support. It promised to overhaul the way America handled welfare and government assistance for years to come.

President Trump Fights for Welfare Reform and Self-Sufficiency
BY Andrew Magloughlin
On April 10, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed the Executive Order on Economic Mobility. President Trump's plan outlines nine "principles of economic mobility" that are bound to lift struggling Americans towards self-sufficiency. Among these principles are boosting employment, promoting stable families, and choosing federalism over top-down programs.

Agriculture Committee's Farm Bill Proposal is a Mixed Bag
Yesterday, the House Agriculture Committee released its Farm Bill proposal. The Farm Bill is an omnibus bill that needs to be passed every five years or so to address various issues related to American agriculture and the responsibilities of the Department of Agriculture (USDA). The last one was passed in 2014.

With Yemen Vote, Senate Republicans Overwhelmingly Deny the Constitution
Republicans' consistent platform in elections is an adherence to the Constitution, rule of law, and fiscal responsibility. Two weeks ago, those same Republicans in the Senate allowed both of these to more than fall by the wayside. One might point initially at hearing this to the passage of the omnibus spending bill, which -- make no mistake -- did throw these principles under the bus.

These Beauty Queens Had It All But Their Lives Still Ran Into Horrific Tragedy
weird 1/28/19
Pageant queens hold a special place in society. They're the essence of what it means to be beautiful on the outside. Magazines lust for them, and people around the world are fascinated and captivated by their beauty.
It's one thing to be beautiful, it's something completely different to be a beauty queen. The standards are incredibly high, and the future is incredibly bright. It's those same standards that make the tragic ending and collapse of a beauty queen so much more jaw-dropping. This article dives deep into pageant stars who had it all and ended up with nothing to show for it.

It was the murder story that pierced the heart of America. JonBenet Ramsay, an American child beauty queen, was killed in her family's home. A ransom note was left for the family, and her body was found in their own home eight hours after she was reported missing.
There are many rumors and conspiracies that follow this case. It still has yet to be solved which makes it still very relevant today.

Tahquamenon Falls: A Wonder of the Midwest
Hidden in the Upper Peninsula happens to be the state's largest waterfall and the second-largest east of the Mississippi River (with Niagara Falls being number one)—Tahquamenon Falls. With 50,000 gallons of water cascading over the falls, it's no wonder it hosts over 600,000 visitors annually.
For those who love a tongue-twister—it's pronounced "Taa·kwuh·meh·nuhn," and it was made famous in the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem The Song of Hiawatha. According to Native American lore, the origin of the name is attributed to the water's amber color, resulting from tannic acid from the cedar and hemlock swamps that feed the river.
Aside from the astonishing name, the falls themselves offer mouth-dropping beauty and splendor. Nestled in Tahquamenon Falls State Park amid 50,000 acres covering more than 13 miles, the Upper and Lower Falls of Tahquamenon offer an otherworldly view. And this might be the perfect time to enjoy that view, as the park is not nearly as crowded in the winter as it is in the other seasons.
Winter activities at the park include camping (the campsites are open year-round), cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, lantern-lit trail walks hosted by the park staff, and of course, visiting the falls, which also run year-round.
No matter what time of year you go, though, your visit will leave a lasting impression. "When you're approaching the falls, you first hear the sound—the water flowing and falling," said Theresa Neal, park interpreter at Tahquamenon Falls State Park. "Once you approach them, you're then struck by that unique amber color. It's so unusual and visually striking. You never forget it."
Tahquamenon Falls is divided into two sections. The Upper Falls are surrounded by a quarter-mile trail and just a 94-step climb to the viewing platform. There, you can get a look at that 50-foot drop and feel the spray on your face. Those looking for an additional challenge can snowshoe off trail for a snowy adventure.
The Lower Falls are four miles east of the Upper Falls and offer great views and photo ops. The Lower Falls are a one-mile walk from the parking area that takes you through the forest and lands you on the multiple viewing platforms for more spectacular sights. You can also rent rowboats at the concession station to access the island during the summer only.
"Obviously, the falls are the big draw," said Neal. "But there's so much to do and explore. Nine miles of marked snowshoe trails, a groomed cross-country ski trail, lots of photo opportunities, and even a brewery."
When you're looking at sharing this natural wonder with over half a million people a year, it's good to look at the best time to visit.
"I'm always reminding people we're open sunrise to sunset," said Neal. "So, I really recommend coming early or later in the day to avoid crowds. And not to be afraid to visit off-season. From December to April, it's almost like having the park to yourself."
While the monumental views bring in visitors, Neal thinks there's something else that draws folks out to the wild.
"I see generations of families come out to the falls year after year," said Neal. "The world can move so fast, but when you're out here, there's time to breathe and just be with one another. Making memories is the ultimate way to slow things down."

New Zealander Leads Transformational New York Symposium For Ex-Offenders And 'At Risk' Harlem Youth

NZEDGE > News > Society > Community/General > NZ's WWII Polish Orphans Impress and Inspire Pulitzer Prize Winner
NZ's WWII Polish Orphans Impress and Inspire Pulitzer Prize Winner
Anne Applebaum is an American journalist and historian. She is a Pulitzer Prize winner for Gulag: A History, a remarkable and eye-opening account of the horrors and madness of the Soviet penal system. Recently, Applebaum was in New Zealand talking about her latest work, Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe. While here, she met three of the 750 Polish orphans who came to New Zealand during WWII. Applebaum was moved by their stories. The Polish orphans' success in making a new life, in hugely adverse circumstances, also inspired her to think about what it takes to succeed in life. She wrote up the orphans' remarkable story, and her observations, in a recent Washington Post column. The orphans spoken to were all born in Eastern Poland. After the Soviet invasion in 1939, all were exiled, with their families, to Siberia or central Asia. Many died of illness or starvation. But, in 1942, after the invasion of the Soviet Union, the adult survivors were released to fight Hitler. But, as Applebaum notes, "their children could not fight. Some were already orphans, having lost their parents to hunger or disease. More would lose their parents, or lose track of their parents, in the course of the war". Then, a remarkable thing happened. An international appeal to care for the orphans was put out. 'New Zealand – a country that had never before accepted refugees – responded. On Oct. 31, 1944, some 750 orphans and 100 adults landed in Wellington. "Hundreds of New Zealanders met them… cheering and waving flags. More people lined the roads and waved as the Polish orphans drove… to a refugee camp created for them in Pahiatua a village in the southeastern corner of New Zealand's North Island", Applebuam writes. 'There they stayed together, studied together, organized Polish scouting troops and waited for the war to end so they could go home… But Poland became a Soviet satellite state. Most inhabitants of the Pahiatua camp had nothing, and no one, to return to," she notes. But "…there was a happy ending – one that we might usefully contemplate. In recent years, the gap in educational attainments of rich and poor Americans has grown wider, largely because of the enormous resources those of us who can do so now pour into our children. Success, we have come to believe, depends on excellent schools, carefully organized leisure and, above all, on high-concentration, high-focus parenting." But Applebaum reflects, "the orphans of Pahiatua did not have any of these things. On the contrary, they had witnessed the deaths of parents and siblings, experienced terrible deprivation and lost years of education before finding themselves in an alien country on the far side of the world. And yet they learned the language, they assimilated, they became doctors, lawyers, farmers, factory workers, teachers, business owners." Krystyna Tomaszyk – a Pahiatua child who became a pioneering social worker – told Applebaum that she was proud of their success. "We all had difficult childhoods. But none of us became criminals… we fit in," she said. "There were reasons for that success. New Zealand boomed after the war… work was easy to find," Applebaum writes. The Polish children had an unusually warm reception in New Zealand, she notes. But more than 70 years later, the children of Pahiatua have an additional explanation, she says. Zdzislaw Lepionka told Applebaum she believes that "the fact that we were kept together, that we sang Polish songs and did scouting drills together – that was a kind of therapy." The Polish orphans experiences had Applebaum wondering. "Is an idyllic childhood a prerequisite for a happy life, or are there other roads to contentment?", she writes. "Are parents the key to future success, or are there other ways to get there? Is a turbulent childhood always a recipe for adult failure, or can some people overcome tragedy? I saw many amazing things in New Zealand – a volcano, a geyser and some extraordinary lush, green landscapes – but none made me think more than that Wellington lunch," Applebaum concludes.

Hi I saw this in Bunnings yesterday. It looks like the beginnings of an anchor safetly light. its really light It uses 3 watch batteries. comes in different colours.very bright and uses and LED for illumination. running time of 200hrs( i'll check that). most important its less than 5 dollars. Looks like it wont cause any problems on existing flag masts either.
Always think like a fish no matter how weird it gets!!!
Looks good but is it water proof and can it be seen for 2 nutical miles.
Making it waterproof should be easy. My last safety light was a home made job with a %$ arlec 7 LED torch and garden solar light and lots of Selley's stil works but no place for it on my prowler. I used to attach it to a PVC pole that went in the rod holder.
Regarding to nautical miles I think lots of kayak folks dont have any anchor lights due to the silly prices suppliers are charging. I saw a stainless rod with an anchor light at a boat shop fo 50 bucks and you can pay anything between 80 to 200 $ for just the light for a kayak. I'm not saying that the flare is the right thing but better than nothing.
I tried it out this weekend. I'm very staisfied with it. The OK Flag didnt seem to be affected by the flares weight.
They both look good for a cheap and easy solution, and yes the 2 nautical miles thing would be good but this is better than nothing in the short term for sure I'll head to Bunnings this week and see if I can find one.
I am guessing it does not need to be too bright to be seen 2 miles away in the dark. A small amount of swell can make that rule redundant any way I would have thought as the light disappears and reappears on the horizon. I saw the little ones at bunnings and nearly bought an armful to be used as disposable lights until the wife spotted me and asked me what I thought I was doing .
Anyone know how much light you need to be seen at that distance?


Now you can feel good about eating bad at Disneyland.
This week, five Disneyland Railroad trains began running on biodiesel produced from the resort's used cooking oil. So while you're fueling you and your kids' bodies with food from the deep fryer, know that you're helping fuel the trains with a cleaner-burning energy source. Have grease, will travel!
Disney is making an effort to be more green. In 2008, they won an award for recycling 7.6 million bottles and cans. Last month, they began using compressed natural gas on their parking trams. The recently revamped Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage uses zero-emission electro-magnetic engines and décor made from recycled bottles. The corporation's environmental impact is far from flawless, but they are implementing some commendable initiatives.
This latest step will help cut the usual 200,000 gallons of fuel consumed by Disneyland Railroad by half. Better than the soybean-based biodiesel implemented last year, the emissions from this cooking oil-based fuel even smells like French fries, thereby tempting visitors to eat more fried food which in turn helps create more oil to recycle into fuel. It's the ultimate renewable resource!
Personally, I say skip the fries and nuggets – there are certainly healthier options to fuel your children's bodies, especially when they need the energy to walk around the park. But if you must ingest the junky stuff, at least now there's a silver lining – albeit a greasy one.


There is a new treatment called "Lipo-Dissolve." It involves injecting a drug called Lipostabil into problem areas to dissolve fat and take off inches. There is no downtime and no apparent side effects, other than initial swelling and bruising. Patients get the shots on their lunch breaks and return to work. Many even call it, the 'Lunch Break Liposuction'.
It's not a replacement for liposuction, because it only minimizes small amounts of fat. It's perfect for the person who wants to lose that last five pounds or get rid of the armpit chub that hangs out of tank tops. You get a few injections, and you're thinner in weeks.
That's the good news. The bad news? Lipostabil was not developed as a spot reducer and has not been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for approval. Regardless, patients of both genders are clamoring for it. After testing the procedure on a few eager guinea pigs-- women who wanted to get rid of fat pads under their eyes, saddlebags, and double chins, plastic surgeons officially added LipoDissolve to their menu a few months later. Since then, LipoDissolve has bad a growing demand every since.
According to Patricia Rittes, M.D., the Brazilian dermatologist, the drug is safe. The active ingredient in it is phosphatidylcholine, a naturally occurring substance in the body first used in the '50s to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Lipostabil is manufactured by Aventis, a multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical company based in Strasbourg, France.
According to a spokesperson, it has been approved for use in South Africa, Brazil, Italy, and Germany as a lipid-lowering agent for patients with certain coronary disorders-not for shrinking love handles. Aventis has no immediate plans to apply for FDA approval of the drug in the U.S.
The off-label use of the drug in Brazil started in 1995 to diminish fat pads under the eyes. Now LipoDissolve is done on abdomens, arms, thighs, hips, even necks. In weeks, fat just disappears! I do about 60 women a month." She says she has never had a problem or complaint. When questioned about if we should be worried about the lack of FDA approval, the concern was brushed. "Look at Botox," she says. "Doctors have used it since 1987, and it was only approved [for cosmetic use] in the U.S. this year. This drug is made by a major international company, it's not made in someone's basement.
Lipostabil does make a difference. It's subtle," she says, "but I can see it, and I definitely look better because of it." Other women who have tried LipoDissolve are equally enthusiastic. A 30-year-old fashion publicist let LipoDisoolve target her triceps. "I have always hated the fat in the back of my arms, but I was a bit scared of surgery," she says. "I lost an inch on each arm!"

Note that it appears that Washington's and Jefferson's concerns regarding bankers and separation of the people from the government was realized by 1836. This fact was confirmed in a letter written by FDR in 1933 (see below) in which he wrote that "a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson." Jackson was the seventh president of the United States (1829-1937). Calhoun served as Jackson's vice-president from 1829-1932.
"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings… Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe… no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of "clear and present danger," then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent… For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed." — John F Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, from a speech delivered to the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961 and known as the "Secret Society" speech (click here for full transcript and audio).

Outfielder Adam Jones has spread his wings and flown away from the Baltimore Orioles. As a result, he's placed his estate in Reisterstown, MD, on the market for $3.995 million.
And that wasn't the only real estate move Jones made last year. Shortly after winning Ripken's regal spread, the 33-year-old placed his suburban Maryland mansion in on the market for a hefty $2.7 million. That property is now off market, and Jones is still listed as the owner.
Now that the Ripken estate finds itself available again, perhaps some other Orioles may flock to take a look at the home. It's built for a major-league ballplayer.

Wait, Hold up! Today, Palace fully unveiled it's collaboration with Reebok. That's correct, today we got the first look at the Palace x Reebok Workout collab, long awaited sneaker collaboration we have been itching to see.
The Reebok trainer will be available in three colourways white, black and grey each using a garishly loud bold primary colouring on the detailing and trim of the kick. Another detail we were impressed by was the use of custom shoelaces with heavy detailing on the Reebok Shoelaces. The sneaker features shoelaces detailing Palace's logo plastered over the flat shoelaces from top to bottom. This is another long awaited sneaker collab that has seen custom laces to make the trainer unique. The minimal finish with bold primary colouring make this kick a must have for Spring collections.
The sole is then finished with a gum outsole that matches the same colour as the sidewalls in each edition. Our favourite colourway has to be black. The trainers will be available from the Palace web store and drop on February the 23.

2 Texas Lawmakers Offer Bipartisan Bill To Combat Border Crisis
Lisa Mascaro
July 15 | 2014
By Lisa Mascaro, Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — In an unlikely partnership, two Texas lawmakers — one Democrat, one Republican — are proposing a bipartisan bill that would empower the United States to speed up immigration hearings in hopes of stemming the crisis of unaccompanied children at the border.
The proposal from Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, and Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat who represents the south Texas border region, comes as Congress pans the White House request for $3.7 billion in emergency funds to handle the migration crisis.
House Republicans are expected to consider alternatives to President Barack Obama's proposal privately Tuesday. Many have said they will not support the administration's request because it costs too much and does not provide policy changes to halt the flow of new arrivals.
About 57,000 unaccompanied minors have been apprehended at the Southwest border since October, and most are from Central America.
"Unless we do something like what Henry and I are proposing, those numbers will keep going up," Cornyn said as he and Cuellar briefed reporters late Monday. "The money alone will not solve this problem."
On Monday, the U.S. sent a planeload of Honduran mothers and children home in what officials called the "initial wave" of repatriations.
The Texas lawmakers' proposal is likely to draw opposition from immigrant advocacy groups and some Democrats, because it would change a 2008 anti-trafficking law that guarantees children from all nations but Mexico and Canada a judicial hearing once they are apprehended.
But the proposal could lay the groundwork for an unusual alliance between the White House and the GOP. The measure could satisfy Republicans while giving the administration the new authority it says it needs to quickly deport the children and send a message to stop the flow of migrants.
"You've got to have changes in the policy," said Cuellar, a five-term Democrat who has criticized Obama on the issue.
Cuellar just returned Monday from a weekend trip to Central America with House Republicans. The message from those leaders, he said, is that "they want their kids back."
The proposal would change the special treatment children receive under the 2008 law, no longer guaranteeing them a judicial review once they arrive in the U.S. Instead, if Border Patrol officials determined that a minor might be eligible for asylum or other types of visas for children fleeing harm, the youths would be guaranteed a hearing before an immigration judge within seven days.
The proposal tries to strike a balance between gutting the 2008 law, as advocates for immigrants have feared, and expediting the judicial review that can now drag on for at least a year.
An additional 40 immigration judges would be added, as the White House requested, but the lawmakers would scale back other money the administration is seeking, including $1.8 billion to care for the minors while in custody.
A cost estimate for the Texans' proposal was pending.

This new program teaches veterans how to become entrepreneurs
December 18, 2022 by aboxglobal
Career paths for veterans aren't always clear cut; However, while in the military, many veterans gain the exact kinds of skills that can lead to a successful venture: focus, the ability to work through awkward situations, and leadership.
But becoming an entrepreneur is not something that most people, including veterans, know how to do. A new program at William & Mary's Raymond A. Mason School of Business is trying to open those doors.
The William & Mary Veteran Entrepreneur Scholars program, which launched with a pilot cohort this summer, was made possible by an anonymous donation from alumni. It is taught boot camp style, with the goal of helping veterans start their own businesses.
"Veterans are smart and resilient," said Will Gregory, lead instructor and founder of Veteran Entrepreneur Scholars. "They keep their sense of humor when everything goes crazy. That's a superpower to start a company. Everything when you're doing a startup is falling apart. You have to solve problems on the fly with sometimes little information and a lot of demand on you. The military is one of the best places to cultivate those founding skills."
According to a study by Intuit QuickBooks, 17 million new entrepreneurs will join the economy by 2022. And veteran-owned businesses, like the Black Rifle Coffee Company, are on the rise.
Jonathan "JD" Due, executive director of the Center for Military Transition at William & Mary, said guiding veterans into entrepreneurship can mean different things: as a primary job or as a second source of income. And small entrepreneurial endeavors are also seen as a way to solve problems, while generating additional capital.
"That combination is powerful both for solving problems and for building businesses," he said.
However, support and empowerment programs for veterans need to be in place, because becoming an entrepreneur is not just about being trained. It requires community support and outreach to access things like funding.
Charles "Chuck" Williamson, an Army veteran who is currently pursuing an MBA at William & Mary, went through the pilot program. He and a friend have been working to develop a game that teaches military tactical skills, and he said the program opened his eyes to what it takes to launch a successful company.
"The military is great at teaching you how to deal with setbacks and challenges, but not really the actual specific skills like meeting with investors or incorporating a business," Williamson said. "They teach you how to interview, not how to raise capital. But through the program, I learned a lot of things that I needed to learn."
Williamson said he will continue to work with his friend on his game as he completes his MBA.
Gregory said the first official cohort is scheduled to start in late November and there have been many applicants. They plan to keep the cohorts small at first, so that each group gets to know each other and provide peer support and mentoring. An active support system for follow-up is also in the works, with cohorts running on an ongoing basis for now.
"Our goal is for them to be able to leave the show and start working," Gregory said.

Q: How can I assert a header on an outgoing Mule Request with an Munit Spy My mule flow is making an outgoing http request using the http:request component. I'm using an http:request-builder to add headers to the request.
    <http:request doc:name="unnamedImportApi"
        config-ref="HTTP_Request_Configuration"
        path="${outgoing.api.base_path}/import" method="POST">
        <http:request-builder>
            <http:header headerName="Authorization" value="Token token=#[flowVars['api_key']]"/>
        </http:request-builder>
    </http:request>

When writing tests, I'm using MUnit mocks and spies to assert the outgoing request contents.  I'm not sure how to get the values of headers in the spy though.  Eg. below I'd like to store the Authorization header with the authHeader in spyData, but am not sure how to acquire the header from the MuleMessage.
       Map<String, String> spyData = new HashMap<>();
       spyMessageProcessor("request").ofNamespace("http")
        .withAttributes(attribute("path").withValue(apiPath))
        .before(new SpyProcess() {

            public void spy(MuleEvent event) throws MuleException {
                try {
                    spyData.put("payload", event.getMessage().getPayloadAsString());
                    spyData.put("contentType", ""+event.getMessage().getOutboundProperty("Content-type"));
                    spyData.put("method", ""+event.getMessage().getOutboundProperty("http.method"));
                    spyData.put("authHeader", ??????);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    System.err.println("ERROR - Test Spy caused exception");
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    fail("Test Spy threw exception");
                }
            }
        });

A: The other way of adding headers to http outbound is by setting outbound properties using mule messsage.
Set your http header using expression transformer and it will be automatically be received by the http outbound endpoint.
In MUnit you can have access to eventContext as a static variable, using which the mule message can be retrieved and the outbound proeprties can be set or get from it.

A: Hi there not sure there is a way to do what you want.
You see if you as it was suggested, and set the headers as outbound properties before hand, then you can run assertions in the spy before section and validate that those outbound variables are there.
But if you define them inside the request-build, at the time spy runs those headers haven't been defined yet. That's because the definition of those vars happens INSIDE the connector nor before of after.
Now you may try to run the verify after, but in that case you will be dealing with a message that is the response to the request you sent earlier. So not good.
That said, I reckon you want to ensure you message is going out in the way you defined it. As if you were sniffing. That I think you can not do at least not in an easy way (i.e. not hack way).
I would like to propose something different though. Your production code is:
<http:request doc:name="unnamedImportApi"
        config-ref="HTTP_Request_Configuration"
        path="${outgoing.api.base_path}/import" method="POST">
        <http:request-builder>
            <http:header headerName="Authorization" value="Token token=#[flowVars['api_key']]"/>
        </http:request-builder>
    </http:request>

Now, you're building your header by setting the value of #[flowVars['api_key']]
You can retrieve that value in your code by doing:
spyData.put("authHeader", event.getMessage().getInvocationProperty("api_key"));

That should be validation enough, although you can't validate that the static portion of the value  value="Token token= will  be correct. That's something that MUnit should improve.
You should trust that if the request-builder say that by doing
<http:header headerName

You will end up setting that header, then it should works.
Is like trusting the API you rely on works properly. So you can focus on testing your own code.

This bright, sparkling bracelet was designed by Sharon Evely using a mixture of shimmering crystal rondelle beads, matching seed beads and a multi-strand tube clasp. Follow Sharon's step by step project and learn how to weave your own dazzling bracelet, making it the perfect size for you or a loved one this Winter! We love the brilliant blue tones and the amazing shine!
Cut a single or double arm span length of thread, depending on which is more workable for you. The longer the thread, the less you will need to add on extra thread. Thread a needle onto the thread and add a stopper bead, leaving a tail of 6 inches, which you will work into the bracelet at the end.
Thread 1 x size 11 and 2 x size 15 seed beads 10 times. This is creating the width of your bracelet. To make the netting you need to add a further size 11 and 2 x size 15's seed beads and thread back through the 9th size 11, creating a loop. Then continue to add 2 x 15's, 1 x 11 and 2 x 15 and thread through the 7th size 11 creating another loop. Continue to do this until you reach the end of your row (remember to miss the next size 11 and thread through 5th, 3rd and 1st size 11 seed beads).
Follow the instructions from step 2, adding rows until you reach the length of bracelet you require. You will need to take a 1 ¼ inches off the overall size of bracelet you want, as you will need to add a clasp and further seed beads to increase the length of your netting, ready for adding the rondelles on the front.
When you have your required length, you will need to add the magnetic clasp and position it centrally to the end of your work. Weave back through the entire second row from the end to add stability and exit at the top of your last row. Using the 5 holes on the clasp, weave through the end row until you are opposite your first hole of the clasp. Add 3 size 15 seed beads and thread through the hole and back into the same bead you came out of on your last row. Continue to weave and add 3 x size 15's each time you come to a hole in the clasp. To strengthen the clasp to your bracelet, weave back through your work and the clasp then exit at the top size 11 seed bead.
To widen the netting you will need to add a size 11 seed bead between each of the gaps along the top edge. Thread through the 2 x size 15's and add a size 11, continue to do this until you reach the end. Then add on the other half of your clasp to the end using step 4. Again, reinforce your clasp and exit the last size 11 seed bead. Then add a size 11 seed bead across the bottom of the bracelet, as you did across the top.
To add rondelles to the front of your netting, divide your rondelles into two piles, then thread back through your bottom edge until you reach the centre line of the bracelet. Thread through the above size 11 bringing you out at the bottom of the diamond shaped netting and add a size 15, rondelle and size 15, then thread through the next size 11 seed bead exiting the diamond shape, then add another size 15, rondelle and size 15 and exit the diamond shape. Continue to do this until you reach the last size 11 seed bead in that row, then thread through the top line size 11 bead (that you added in step 5) and back down into the size 11 into netting row then down into the next 2 x 15's and exit out of the size 11 which will be the top of your diamond shape netting again. Then add your size 15, rondelle and size 15. Continue to do this until you have used the first lot of your rondelle pile. Then weave back through the top line until you reach the centre row again and add your second pile of rondelles going the other way on your bracelet.
You may have enough rondelles to reach both ends to the clasps, or you may have a few rows left to be filled. Follow the same process as above, but instead of using rondelles add size 11 seed beads. So size 15, size 11 and size 15. This will create a flatter area with the clasp to the underside of your wrist.
Weave your way back to the top corner of your bracelet edge to add the final size 11's to enhance the top and bottom. On your end row thread down into the first size 11 seed bead (where previously you added your rondelle and size 15's seed beads on step 6), then add 2 x size 11 seed beads and thread through the diagonal top size 11 seed bead of the next row on your edging, then back down through the size 11 bead on the second row and repeat until you get to the end. Weave down through until you reach the bottom corner of the edging and repeat the above step.
Any threads you have left from adding on additional threads need to be weaved back into the bracelet. Then you are finished!


Modi claimed that Article 35A and Article 370 that gives autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir of the constitution had prevented outside investment and job creation in the state.
New Delhi: Blaming Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru for the crisis in Jammu and Kashmir today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel would have better handled the issue and the Valley would not have remained 'mired in controversy'.
In an exclusive interview with News18 Network's Editor-in-Chief Rahul Joshi, Modi said earlier governments had fallen short in dealing with militancy in the Kashmir valley.
"The (Kashmir) problem is an old one. Perhaps if Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had handled it, we would not be in the situation we find ourselves in today. He would have found a solution, like he did with (the annexation of) Junagadh and the Nizam" the Prime Minister said.
"But Pandit Nehru kept this issue to himself, and since then it has been mired in controversy," he added.
Further targeting the first Prime Minister of India, Modi said Nehru's decisions in regard with Jammu and Kashmir stood in the way of the state's progress to this day.
Modi claimed that the Article 35A — that provides special rights and privileges to its permanent citizens — and Article 370 — that gives autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir — of the constitution had prevented outside investment and job creation in the state.
Modi also said the conflict in Kashmir valley was limited to just 'dhai' (two and half districts, and the state largely remained stable under the BJP government. "There is no problem in Ladakh and Jammu. It is only two-and-a-half districts in Kashmir valley where there is a problem. We see these districts as the whole of Jammu and Kashmir. This narrative must change," Modi said.
Modi's statement on Kashmir and Articles 35A and 370 also reiterated his party's age-old stand on the issue that was featured yet again in the BJP's election manifesto that released on Monday. In its manifesto, the BJP maintained the position it has held since the time of the Jan Sangh on the abrogation of Article 370 and on the annulment of Article 35A, which the party says is discriminatory against non-permanent residents and women of Jammu and Kashmir.
The current government has often targeted Nehru and his policies and several BJP leaders have made disparaging statements with respect to the former Prime Minister and Congress leader.


At one point in his life, Andrew Carnegie was the richest man in the United States. Not bad for the uneducated son of a feckless Scottish weaver.Tiny Andrew (he stood less than five feet tall which is why he was often photographed in his top hat, and never photographed next to his taller wife unless she sat or stooped) was a force to be reckoned with -- smiling and joking and telling tales, treating his friends lavishly but at the same time absolutely ruthless in his treatment of employees or colleagues.
David Nasaw has written a dauntingly thorough biography. It is a fascinating book, partly because of the many stories he tells about his subject's character, his triumphs and failures, but also because of his attention to the historical details of the period. As Carnegie himself admitted, he was able to acquire his fortune because the laws allowed his rapacious actions, and his very success was untimately responsible for the passage of financial and labor legislation which have leveled the playing ground at least a bit.

Long Beach's Third Annual Young Women's Empowerment Conference

Middle-school girls learn about leadership and self-esteem at third annual Young Women's Empowerment Conference

Like most girls her age, 12-year-old Calafia Hill, a seventh-grader at Hughes Middle School, struggles with self-confidence.
"I really want to boost my self-esteem, but it's hard," she said. "I'm hoping I can learn from other women."
Hill was one of about 200 seventh- and eighth-graders to participate in the third annual Young Women's Empowerment Conference on Saturday at Browning High School.
The day-long event, hosted by Congressman Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, draws middle-school girls throughout Long Beach for career advice, support and guidance from women in a range of careers.
Lowenthal said the event is more important than ever in a time when a record number of women were sworn into Congress this year.
"This gives our girls the opportunity to meet and learn from women who are very successful," he said.
The event featured breakout sessions including: "Running for Public Office," "Making a Smooth Transition to High School," "CSI: The Work of a Coroner," and "How to Survive as a Working Artist."
Girls also participated in "career café" stations where they chatted with women in the areas of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), the arts and entrepreneurship.
In a breakout session called "Screen Time and Social Media," girls learned about the impact of social media and screen time on their mental health.
"Don't worry it's not just you, parents and adults are addicted, too," said host Sara Myers, president of the Volunteer Center South Bay-Harbor-Long Beach.
Myers noted how phone addiction can trigger dopamine in the brain, much like drug addiction. She explained how the blue light from iPhones can suppress melatonin production and disrupt sleep.
The girls also talked about how the carefully crafted images on social media create FOMO (fear of missing out) and how that can impact self-esteem.
Myers used an example from one of her wedding day photos. While she may have looked happy and glowing in the picture, she said, she actually had been crying at the time from a "bridezilla" moment.
"These images don't show you the story behind the picture," she said.
For Simra Saeed, a seventh-grader at Newcomb Academy, the session was helpful.
"This is something I can really relate to," she said. "I definitely need to not use my phone so much."
