Whatever it is, Easter feels different. The air feels warmer, my heart feels softer and the reality of Jesus and His grace feels more real than ever before.
The last year and its experiences have changed me. I am wiser with my words, more grateful with my life, and a little more careful about who I offer my heart to. And yet, in the last twelve months, there was one experience that completely altered how I view Jesus and the Bible, and made sure I would never look at the cross or His sacrifice through the same lens again.
One trip to Israel changed Easter for me, forever.
There I stood, before an empty tomb in one of the most tranquil gardens I have ever visited. It looked like a movie set with hanging flowers and birds singing and small, white tomb, carved out of a rock, minding its own business. Did we know for sure this was the place Jesus was buried and raised? No. Did I care? Nope. To me, this was it.
Standing at this tomb, I was closer to where Jesus had been, than I have been in 25 years of life. I was walking the same streets He was dragged through, while being mocked and whipped and bruised. I was in the place He died, so I didn't have to.
And yet as I stood at the entrance of the tomb, with more thoughts flying through my mind than I had time to catch, I felt nothing. I wanted to be overwhelmed with emotion, with gratitude, with a new understanding of his sacrifice. But I felt empty and cold and alone.
I was disappointed. I felt like a disappointment.
I looked around and the crowd had gone, our bus was on its way and it was time to move onto the next biblical site, or just to go eat some more hummus, both were arguably as amazing.
But I stayed lingering, I refused to leave with the same numbness and apathy as I came in. I needed to find Jesus.
He was here. Suddenly, it didn't matter whether He had been here, it didn't matter how accurate the history and geography was, it didn't even matter that I looked like a panda with my eye makeup running down my face, because my Jesus, He was here.
In that moment, outside a garden tomb, I found Jesus. In that moment, I was Mary Magdalene.
She arrived at the tomb, like I did, undoubtedly feeling empty and exhausted by the weight of grief, ready to say just one last goodbye to the man that saved her life. Instead, she found an empty tomb, but a living Jesus. Talk about a plot twist.
You know what I love? I love that she was the first to discover Him. It could've been Peter, or John, or even His mother, and that would've made sense.
But for me the beauty in this story is this -- Mary was the one who had been forgiven much. She was the one who knew what it meant to be free. She was the one who had felt firsthand the depths of His relentless love and unending grace. She was the one who found home, with Him.
I got to see where Mary might have been when she found our Jesus, first. For a moment, standing there, I got to be Mary, but instead of finding Jesus, in that garden, I was found by Him.
Honestly, before this trip, I lost Jesus for a little while. I felt the shameful sting of loneliness and the painful reality of regret. I was Mary. But Jesus never lost sight of Mary, and He never lost sight of me. And on that cold, windy day in a garden in Israel, I found Him again. My heart came home.
Maybe it's in the silence we hear Him the loudest. Maybe it's in our brokenness that He is the greatest artist, creating beauty from ashes.
I don't know how to describe my trip to Israel. But if I did? I would tell you, Jesus found me on this trip. And Easter will never be the same again.
Maybe this is the Easter you find Jesus. And maybe this year, you will know exactly how Mary felt, because you will feel it too.

The Water Environment Federation (WEF) has announced the winners of its fourth annual stormwater video competition. Launched in 2012, the project recognizes, highlights and promotes the work of stormwater professionals worldwide. These winning videos will be shown, and recipients will receive their awards, at WEFTEC 2015 in Chicago.
The 2015 StormTV Project received almost 150 submissions and more international submissions than any year prior. More than 35 expert judges reviewed the submissions and selected winners based on message communication and quality as well as content matter and relevance.
According to Neal Shapiro, judge and supervisor of City of Santa Monica's Watershed Management Section, the StormTV Project allows viewers to "learn what stormwater colleagues are doing around the nation and even the world, exposing viewers to different and educational experiences."
Judges selected winners in four categories: public education, training, commercial, and programs and projects.
Training Winner
The University of North Carolina Institute for the Environment and Town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, won the training category award for the video, "Keep Restaurant Pollution and Profits From Going Down the Stormwater Drain."
In 2009, the Stormwater Management Division from the Town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, responded to many reports of illicit discharges in restaurant storm drains. To stop these illegal discharges, the town and the University of North Carolina Institute for the Environment (UNC-IE) collaborated to produce educational videos, posters and handouts. The Wallace Genetic Foundation helped to fund the effort. These materials now are being used nationwide to train restaurant workers about preventing pollution.
The free outreach materials produced through the town and UNC-IE's collaboration "help restaurant owners and employees understand the storm drain system, local watersheds and good housekeeping expectations to prevent water pollution," said Wendy Smith, community education coordinator for the Town of Chapel Hill.
The winning video, "Keep Restaurant Pollution and Profits From Going Down the Stormwater Drain," models good housekeeping practices by showing viewers how to store and dispose of wastes properly to protect businesses and water quality. Since the training program began in Chapel Hill, restaurant employees have reduced the number of dumping violations, and several local businesses have invested in constructing or improving washout areas to avoid sending wash water and organic matter into storm drains.
Programs & Projects Winner
Atelier Dreiseitl, a Ramboll-Environ Company, won the programs and projects award for the video, "Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park."
The Kallang channel used to stretch along the edge of Singapore's popular Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. Atelier Dreiseitl redesigned the 2.7 km straight, concrete drainage channel into a sinuous, natural river that is 3.2 km-long and meanders through the park.
"Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park: Urban river restoration is a multi-beneficial system for people, the environment and city infrastructure that brings the vision of a smart, beautiful and livable city into reality," according to the company, which also produced the winning video about the project.
The urban river restoration created new spaces for the community to enjoy. The project redesigned 62 hetacres of the park to accommodate dynamic river processes, including fluctuating water levels, and to benefit park-goers. The park includes three playgrounds, restaurants, a new lookout point constructed from the recycled walls of the old concrete channel, and open green space to complement the natural wonder of an ecologically restored river in the heartlands of the city.
This project is part of the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme, a long-term initiative to transform Singapore's water bodies beyond their drainage and water supply functions into vibrant, new spaces for community bonding and recreation.
Public Education Winner
The Australian Car Wash Association won the public education category award for the video, "Stormwater Pollution – The Dirty Truth: Home Car Washing."
Since the mid-2000s in Australia, most automatic car washes use recycling systems to comply with water efficiency targets. The Australian Car Wash Association (ACWA) — a nonprofit that promotes commercial car washes as the most environmentally responsible places to wash vehicles — studied the quality of car-wash wastewater. The research showed that recycling the water was not harmful to human health and safety. However, ACWA found that the range and concentration of pollutants were much higher than expected and that at-home car washing can significantly harm local waterways.
To keep pollutants out of waterways, ACWA created a public awareness campaign to encourage car owners to visit commercial car washes and inform the public that water flowing into stormwater drains goes directly to local waterways untreated. The Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning funded the campaign.
Commercial Winner
Enginuity LLC Makers of RainReserve won the commercial category award for the video, "Gilardi's Segment."
The staff members of Enginuity LLC — a company based in Mansfield, Missouri — have a passion for water conservation. In addition to their RainReserve rainwater harvesting products, the company offers community programs about capturing stormwater and partners with local government on rainwater rebate initiatives.
Enginuity's video features a 7570-L rainwater harvesting system installed in the urban community garden of Gilardi's Italian Restaurant in Springfield. "We hope that this recognition (through the StormTV Project) elevates awareness around water conservation and the critical link to accelerating the local food movement," says Omar Galal, president of Enginuity.
Using the RainReserve system, restaurant owner James Martin, has reduced his water bill significantly. He uses collected rainwater to grow food to supply his restaurant and to donate to local charity organizations. "Chef James Martin of Gilardi's Restaurant has created a model of sustainability by sourcing his own food and water on site," Galal said. "By incorporating an attractive and practical approach to rainwater harvesting, he has reduced costs while using fewer resources."
In the video, Martin praises the scalability of the RainReserve system, which is comprised of interconnected barrels made from plastic panels. With its flexibility, the system fits into Martin's future greenhouse expansion plans.
In addition to being a competition, the StormTV Project also builds a library of inventive stormwater programs, practices, products and public outreach. Since the competition launched in 2012, WEF has collected 366 videos, which are displayed on WEF's YouTube channel. This year's submissions also are displayed by location through an interactive, online map of public education videos and a map of programs and projects, commercial, and training videos.

George Soros is Warning the Investors about the Similar Characteristics of China's Debt-Fueled Economy and the U.S. Economy before 2007-08
April 28, 2016 latenightsess	Leave a comment
George Soros had warned investors against the China's debt-fueled economy which resembles the U.S. in 2007-08 before the build-up led to the global financial crisis. The credit growth figures recorded in March according to George Soros is a warning sign. Soros revealed his prediction when he attended the Asia Society event in New York saying that China surpassed the projection estimated by Bloomberg that the credit growth would hit 1.4 trillion yuan but instead China's new lending reached 2.34 trillion yuan. It is a clear signal that the government of China was only committed to growth and not controlling the level of debt. Visit Project Syndicate to learn more about George.
Soros is an experienced manager of a successful hedge fund company who made his $24 billion fortune through savvy wagers on markets. Due to his statements on http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-20/soros-says-china-s-debt-fueled-economy-resembles-u-s-in-2007-08 about the state of the China's economy, he has been involved in a war of words with the Chinese government. Soros has revealed in the World Economic Forum that he has already placed a bet against the Asia currencies in the event China economy worsens and further devaluation of the currency. In response, the China's state media Xinhua news agency countered the statement as an assertion without basis saying that George Soros had made similar predictions several times in the past.
Soros has added that the banking system of China has more loans than deposits and situation could get complicated because of the continued inter-bank lending thus becoming a source of uncertainty and instability. The recent intervention by the Chinese government on https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/people/george-soros has controlled the problem at least for this year and probably next year, but the credit market is growing at an exponential rate.
Other people worried about the future of the China's economy include Andrew Colquhoun, who said that everything driving the economic recovery in China could end up derailing it. According to Colquhoun, China could be adding a debt burden to an economy that is already unsustainable.

George Soros and Colquhoun believe that it is better for China's economy to slow down than the government trying to stabilize it. Whatever the government actions are right now are only making investors feel less confident in the government's commitment to reforms. Soros was born in Budapest, Hungary and became famous when he broke the Bank of England in 1992 and made $1 billion with a bet that the UK would devalue its currency. Under his leadership, George Soros managed Soros Fund Management that posted average annual gains of about 20 percent from 1969 to 2011.
Soros is also the founder and chairperson of Open Society Foundation, a network of foundations in more than 100 countries committed to promoting the objective of accountable government, open society and a society where rights are respected. After being successful in the financial markets, Soros took the opportunity to give back to the society through the Open Society Foundation. Learn more on Biography about George
All you need to know about Precious Metals
April 5, 2016 latenightsess	1 Comment
Gold coins possess a lot of value, and so does silver coins. For many years, they have been used to measure the wealth of different countries. However, after the introduction of money as a form of currency, these precious metals started being ignored by many people. Before then, they were valuable means of exchange, especially during the trade.
In order to safeguard the value of the precious coins, the veterans in the market started an organization on linkedin.com that will only focus of the coins. The veterans were wise enough to start a company and put in place the right measures to ensure that the consumers can have a trustworthy and reliable place where they can buy or sell their precious coins.
The organization started by the veterans is known as U.S Money Reserve, and it serves a large group of people in the United States. The company is known for its customer care service that has all the qualities a customer needs. US Money Reserve has a reliable team of employees who are very knowledgeable in the coins industry, and this has made it among the top companies in the United States of America.
The U.S. Money Reserve deals with the government accredited coins, and when a customer visits the company, they are advised well on the type of coins to purchase. The company advises the public hen a certain coin losses value, and it advises the customers to avoid owning it. Many of the clients from the company who own the coins say that they make good profits at the end of the day.
The U.S Money Reserve is managed by Philip Diehl, the former president of the U.S.Mint. The company also deals with precious metals, and this means that he is an expert in gold and silver coins. Since he took charge of the company, Philip has brought major changes, and more people have started to own the coins due to their profitability.
To make sure that the internet community gets information and appreciates gold and silver coins, the CEO of the US Money Reserve, Mr. Philip decided to start an online face to represent the company in the online community. This was a great idea, and it has received a lot of positive responses from the consumers. Many people now understand why it is important to own government issued coins, and many of them have embraced the idea very well.

Author, songwriter Allison Moorer receives Troy University's Hall-Waters Prize
News | April 17, 2020
Dr. Kirk Curnutt, Chair of the English Department, interviews Hall-Waters Prize recipient Allison Moorer during a virtual presentation on Friday.
Renowned author and songwriter Allison Moorer received Troy University's Hall-Waters Prize during a virtual ceremony on Friday.
Singer, songwriter and author Allison Moorer received Troy University's Hall-Waters Prize during a virtual ceremony on Friday.
Moorer, an Academy Award-nominee whose recent memoir, "Blood," has been heralded as a frank and cathartic memoir of family and healing, is a leading voice in country, folk and Americana music and has written hit songs for artists such as Trisha Yearwood, Kenny Chesney and Miranda Lambert.
The ceremony, which was originally scheduled for an in-person event on the Troy Campus was moved online following the cancellation of campus events due to the COVID-19 coronavirus. Plans for a fall event that would bring Moorer to campus are under way.
The Hall-Waters Prize is endowed by TROY alumnus Dr. Wade Hall, an author, former member of the faculty at the University of Florida and professor emeritus of English at Bellarmine University in Louisville, KY.
Dr. Hall, a native of Bullock County, endowed the prize as a memorial to his parents, Wade Hall Sr. and Sarah Elizabeth Waters Hall. The award is presented regularly to a person who has made significant contributions to Southern heritage and culture in history, literature or the arts. Past winners include Rep. John Lewis, Bobbie Ann Mason, Pat Conroy, Natasha Trethewey, Cassandra King, Ace Atkins, and the songwriting team of Dan Pan and Spooner Oldham, among others.
Maj. Gen. Walter Givhan, Senior Vice Chancellor for Advancement and Economic Development, presented the award to Moorer via video conference.
"We are so proud to have this opportunity to present the Hall-Waters Prize to singer, songwriter and author Allison Moorer," Givhan said. "That Alabama voice truly comes through, not just in her songs, but also in her written work. Her memoir, 'Blood,' is what we are honoring here today and what a work it is. What an accomplishment it is to bring the written word together with music for a complete and total experience. We are doing this presentation virtually here today, but we cannot wait to have Allison come to TROY and have the opportunity to interact with our students, faculty and staff."
The ceremony featured the presentation by Walter Givhan, Senior Vice Chancellor for Advancement and Economic Development, followed by an interview session with Moorer conducted by TROY's English Department Chair Dr. Kirk Curnutt.
Moorer said she was extremely honored to receive the award, especially since it recognizes the work of Southern artists.
"I've always been and will continue to be a very proud Southerner. It's in me. It's who I am, so I'm delighted that this award is given to honor works of a Southerner," Moorer said from her home in Nashville. "The people who have received the award before me, I'm just in awe of and I can't believe I get to be in such company. It means a lot to me to receive this award, and especially now when I feel like our lives are so different and who knows what we are going to emerge to. To have something like this happen during these times is a real bright spot."
Moorer said the feedback she has received from her book and accompanying album is very rewarding.
"So much of the reward for me has been in the feedback I've gotten from people who have read the book or listened to the record or both," she said. "That I'm able to help anyone in any way means that I have done good work, and, above all, I want to be of some sort of service to the world. It makes me feel good on another level to know that my work is being recognized by a University. It makes me feel that maybe my work has merit on a literary level as well."
Moorer first gained fame when her debut single, "A Soft Place to Fall," co-written with Gwil Owen, was featured in the Robert Redford-directed film "The Horse Whisperer." The composition was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1999, leading to her performing it live at that year's Oscar ceremonies. The title track of the album from which it came, "Alabama Song," demonstrates the artist's deep connection to her native state and in particular to Mobile, where she was born, and to Frankville and Monroeville, where she was raised.
Over the course of her subsequent nine albums, Moorer has diversified from mainstream country into pop, folk, and finally into Americana/roots music, where she is widely hailed for her earthy vocals and narrative approach to lyrics. While most of her albums feature her original songs, she has released two celebrated collections of covers, including 2017's "Not Dark Yet," on which she and her sister reinterpret Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, and Merle Haggard.
Following the presentation, Dr. Kirk Curnutt, Chair of TROY's Department of English, conducted an in-depth interview with Moorer focusing on her memoir, "Blood." The full production will appear on the University's social media next week.
"One central goal of the Hall-Waters Prize has always been to celebrate the versality of writing, to appreciate that words might be recorded on paper or they might be performed live but that regardless of format great art consoles human sorrows and uplifts grief through the craft of language," Dr. Curnutt said. "We're very excited to celebrate Ms. Moorer's work, and we cannot wait to have her come to Troy, when we are able to schedule a visit, to speak with our students."

Titan's Halo
By Keith Cowing
Posted December 29, 2013 12:58 PM
©NASA/JPL/SSI
NASA's Cassini spacecraft looks towards the dark side of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, capturing the blue halo caused by a haze layer that hovers high in the moon's atmosphere.
The haze that permeates Titan's atmosphere scatters sunlight and produces the orange color seen here. More on Titan's orange and blue hazes can be found at PIA14913.
This view looks towards the side of Titan (3,200 miles or 5,150 kilometers across) that leads in its orbit around Saturn. North on Titan is up and rotated 40 degrees to the left. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural-color view. The images were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Nov. 3, 2013.
The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 2.421 million miles (3.896 million kilometers) from Titan. Image scale is 14 miles (23 kilometers) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

Many Americans live lives relatively sheltered from international heartache. The fact I was remiss in writing a "Thanks to Vets," post reminds me of how comfortable I am. I have much to be appreciative and thankful for. In my fervor to rework by buggish blog, I overlooked creating a thank you post for American Veterans everywhere. I apologize for my blogcentricities of late.
Thank you. May you dream of freedom for all people.

The Columbia University Press Distinguished Book Award is funded by the office of the Provost. It will be awarded annually by the Press to a book by a Columbia University faculty member that brings the highest distinction to Columbia University and Columbia University Press for its outstanding contribution to academic and public discourse.
The Press's faculty Publication Committee members serve as jurors. Each year they will consider books published in the two full calendar years prior to the award year. The winning author is awarded $10,000, along with an award certificate. A reception will be held in honor of the book at the beginning of the fall semester.
Neil Krishan Aggarwal's timely study finds that mental-health and biomedical professionals have created new forms of knowledge and practice in their desire to understand and fight terrorism. In the process, the state has used psychiatrists and psychologists to furnish knowledge on undesirable populations, and psychiatrists and psychologists have protected state interests.
When journalists, developers, surf tourists, and conservation NGOs cast Papua New Guineans as living in a prior nature and prior culture, they devalue their knowledge and practice, facilitating their dispossession. Paige West's searing study reveals how a range of actors produce and reinforce inequalities in today's globalized world. She shows how racist rhetorics of representation underlie all uneven patterns of development and seeks a more robust understanding of the ideological work that capital requires for constant regeneration.
To understand how countries grow and develop, it is essential to know how they learn and become more productive and what government can do to promote learning. In Creating a Learning Society, Joseph E. Stiglitz and Bruce C. Greenwald cast light on the significance of this insight for economic theory and policy. Taking as a starting point Kenneth J. Arrow's 1962 paper "Learning by Doing," they explain why the production of knowledge differs from that of other goods and why market economies alone typically do not produce and transmit knowledge efficiently. Closing knowledge gaps and helping laggards learn are central to growth and development. But creating a learning society is equally crucial if we are to sustain improved living standards in advanced countries. Combining accessible prose with technical economic analysis, Stiglitz and Greenwald provide new models of "endogenous growth," up-ending the thinking about both domestic and global policy and trade regimes.
Wael B. Hallaq boldly argues that the "Islamic state," judged by any standard definition of what the modern state represents, is both impossible and inherently self-contradictory. Comparing the legal, political, moral, and constitutional histories of premodern Islam and Euro-America, he finds the adoption and practice of the modern state to be highly problematic for modern Muslims. He also critiques more expansively modernity's moral predicament, which renders impossible any project resting solely on ethical foundations.


The application must be received by December 1, 2019 to be reviewed for the 2020 or 2021 Story Crossroads. Any application received after that date will be reviewed automatically for the 2021 Story Crossroads.
See the Frequently Asked Questions below. You can also see the Judging Ballot for Story Crossroads.
Pure storytelling is respected though we also love to see story merged with other art forms. Bilingual storytelling is sought and welcomed.
Who is qualified to fill out an application?
Any professional or regularly performing artist is welcome to apply.
What do you mean by "professional" or "regularly performing artist"?
A professional is someone who has worked on the craft for three or more years and has received payment in the past for these talents. A regularly performing artist is someone who performs at least 12 times a year (monthly or seasonally) to stay polished and fantastic.
What is the expected audience of Story Crossroads?
Think family-friendly. We will have stories and performances that will engage 5-year-olds to the great-greats in the family. All generations will be represented. There will even be "littles" though those ones will not be your focus as a story artist. The best way is to ponder, "What would engage a 3rd grader and still work for the parents or adults in the room?" Upon your request, we can send you a piece written by Debi Richan on what works out in this area for subjects or for how topics are presented. Then you will know the appropriate use of language or stories to choose to propose to us. Only two or three of our outreaches will involve an all-adult audience.
What if I am new to the art of storytelling and would like to still apply or participate as a story artist?
You would be best to approach this as being a community teller rather than one of our selected cultural story artists. We offer free 8-hour storytelling residencies each January/February in the Salt Lake area as well as other places. After attending an 8-hour residency, top tellers from each residency will be chosen to be part of the 40 community tellers who perform on stage along with the 15 professional story artists. Click here to see a listing of the offered residencies.
Do you have a preference for how story is presented?
What if I am talented in an art form other than storytelling? Could my application still be considered?
Let us say that you are wonderful at playing an instrument. If you wanted to merge storytelling with this instrument-playing, then you could receive guidance from people who are part of the Utah Storytelling Guild. Go to a free monthly chapter meeting across the state of Utah and share your ideas. Either you could tell and play or recruit a storyteller to tandem perform with you. This example works for any talent you have and would like to merge with story. For the sake of the online application, there is a section where you can explain that one performing art is polished and you are in process of merging it with spoken word storytelling.
Does my video link need to be the proposed story piece(s)? What works best as a video representation of my work?
The purpose of the video link is for the reviewing committee to learn about your natural style and presence on stage. The video link does not have to be of the story piece(s) proposed to us.
The quality of the video will not have any bearing on the scoring. However, we do need to hear you (unless you are doing American Sign Language) and to see you. The sound has to be clear enough to understand and appreciate your performance. Keep in mind that even iphones can do a great job at filming. You can even record telling or sharing your performance in front of your computer. You will likely need a microphone plugged into your computer if the microphone is not built-in. Post on your Facebook page and give us the direct weblink. Use YouTube or your website.
The best kind of video is where a full story or piece is done. Some people like to splice or combine moments together as a type of samplar or visual/audio collage. These spliced kinds will be allowed though you will score better if we can see a performance from beginning to end.
What do you offer as payment for the selected story artists?
The payment amount could vary depending on your level of experience. For example, our featured tellers receive more stage time and higher rates. Sometimes these featured tellers receive extra for hospitality and travel. The other professional story artists have the opportunity to be on stage for 15 minutes at a time with each of these slots paying $100 each. There could be negotiations based on level of experience even for these 15-minute performances. Story artists will perform at least two 15-minute slots. These 15-minute slots could be in a row so it could turn into a 30-minute program or the 15-minute slots could be part of two different sessions.
How far away could story artists live from the location of Story Crossroads to be considered?
Story artists could be from anywhere in the world. English does not even have to be your native language. If we want you to perform, then we will cover any translation needs for you as well as for the audience. However, only about two every year will be from outside Utah while all the other professional story artists and community tellers will likely live near Salt Lake County, Utah. Of course, if there are story artists who have friends or associates in Salt Lake to ease on travel costs, we could more seriously look at more story artists from outside Utah.
We have a Story Training Committee and the people on that committee will review and score each application. Feel free to email storycrossroads@gmail.com with any questions or call Rachel Hedman at (801) 870-5799.
i appreciate the extension. Travel and family matters have put so much stress on me I decided that I could not participate, yet I feel that I have so much to share.

Q: PowerShell Validate SAML Signed XML We recently had an issue where an IdP was not trusting SAML 2.0 logout request signatures from our RP/SP.  We were seeking alternative ways to validate the SAML request signature because both the IdP and samltool.com complained about the signature validation.  Below is an example answer that we used to check the signed data could be validated against the signature.

A: Add required types and definition for SHA256
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security

                    base.DeformatterAlgorithm = "System.Security.Cryptography.RSAPKCS1SignatureDeformatter";
                }

                public override System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricSignatureDeformatter CreateDeformatter(System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm key)

                        System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoConfig.CreateFromName(base.DeformatterAlgorithm);
                    asymmetricSignatureDeformatter.SetKey(key);
                    asymmetricSignatureDeformatter.SetHashAlgorithm("SHA256");
                    return asymmetricSignatureDeformatter;
                }
            }

$signed = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.SignedXml -ArgumentList $xml
$signed.LoadXml($xml.DocumentElement.Signature)

# Should return false since we modified the data
$signed.CheckSignature()

Hopefully this saves someone else some time if they need to accomplish the same task.  Please let me know if you have any input/suggestions.
Thanks!

Q: Python: Invalid Syntax error on a line that doesn't exist I'm using Notepad ++ to write my code but I keep getting an Invalid Syntax error on a line that doesn't extra.
The code stops at line 54 and it's saying the error is on line 55.
I'm assuming this is a copy and paste related error, but I can't seem to find a way to fix it.
Any suggestions would be great.

A: You forgot to close a set of parentheses, or possibly a multiline string. Or you had a statement that takes a block (like if x:) on the last line and didn't follow it with anything. But most likely the parens. Somewhere there is a ( without a corresponding ).

A: In the same line you are executing two instructions ,assigning and printing a variable .I think it won't work. Use newline for print statement


What is the default password in Google Developers Console?
I know this should be a very stupid question related Google Developers Console, but I just wasted three hours in it and no luck in google search results.
This is the first time I enable Developers Console in GAE, it shows the bash shell by default after login. I want to config my preference shell environment zsh, after finishing cloning oh-my-zsh project to local, I run chsh command to switch to zsh, the sudo password is need for that.
The question is I don't know what the password is, I tried google account password and other frequency passwords, it failed.
Using passwd to change the password with my wrong pass shows the following error.

There are lots of opportunities to read, watch and play – up in the air.
For science fiction fans there are works about flying through space (classics such as Star Wars and 2001) as well as flying through time with Dr Who. For those who prefer their science without the fiction there are many examples that document the history of space as well as the history of the different space programs.
Fantasy has seen many characters airborne from dragons to the rescue, by eagles, of Frodo and Sam in The Lord of the Rings. Such escapes reflected in real life through flights to safety attempted by asylum seekers and refugees.
2014 witnessed numerous commemorations for the Centenary of the Great War, with 2015 marking the Centenary of ANZAC, prompting many readers to reflect on conflict. As marks of respect for the fallen continue to be offered throughout 2016 there are various #flightread works available for readers, watchers and players. Airborne conflicts were significant components of World War I and World War II as well as subsequent conflicts including Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and the ongoing 'War on Terror'. Another anniversary, in 2016, is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Roald Dahl who, famous for a writer of children's stories, was also a Hurricane fighter pilot during World War I.
There are also histories around the business of moving people through the air, including histories of innovation and invention, histories of travel, histories of great aviators and aviatrix, as well as histories of space and the rise of commercial carriers such as Qantas and Virgin (and the occasional fall Ansett and Pan Am). Sitting alongside these works are stories that tell of flight disasters – fiction and non-fiction.
The natural world presents lots of #flightread examples, think: bats; bees; birds; and insects; and those that almost fly – flying fish, flying lemurs and gliding possums in addition to fantastic creatures such as cherubs, fairies and devils. Flying is also about sport and recreation from balloons to kites, from fly fishing to quidditch.
Flying and flight inspires us from airline captain to superman, from meteorologist to metallurgist there are so many special interest groups in aviation, covering a wide range of applications. The ability to move people and goods great distances quickly fascinates us. Travel to exotic places, movie sets, quiet escapes, or ancestral homelands, once took months by sea, then weeks by early aircraft is now measured in hours. We travel to broaden our horizons and examine other places and cultures, some even travel just for the experience of flight. You can prepare for these adventures through a range of podcasts including: Airplane Geeks; Plane Crazy; and Airline Pilot Guy. Or, you could test your own flying skills with games such as Flight Control or you could try a Flight Simulator.
Most flights now feature some sort of entertainment – be it hundreds of audio visual programs, games or in flight wifi. There are two entertainment options that never need batteries, rebooting, new software or an upgrade: the aircraft window; and a good book.
There will be a twitter discussion on 29 November starting at 11am and 8.00pm Australian Eastern Daylight Savings (Summer) Time. 6.00pm Singapore Standard Time, 12.00 noon Central European Summer Time, 9am – 11am; 2pm – 4pm; 6pm – 8pm BST. Note this is a staggered discussion.
Use the tags #flightread and #rwpchat as you discuss the reading, watching playing that is your experience of #flightread, so others can join in the conversation too.


June is National CMV Awareness Month. National CMV Awareness Month is a time to educate your community about congenital CMV. Spreading CMV awareness in medical practices, therapy centers, daycares and schools is a great way to celebrate June and promote prevention practices so we may eliminate congenital CMV for the next generation.

Homeless families housed in 'temporary' hotels for up to three years
RGS-IBG news,
Geography news,
Research and higher education
New research, published today in our journal The Geographical Journal, reveals the daily disruption homeless families living in temporary hotel accommodation experience.
Carried out by Dr Mel Nowicki (Oxford Brookes University), Professor Katherine Brickell (Royal Holloway, University of London) and Dr Ella Harris (Goldsmiths, University of London), the one year study conducted research with 16 formerly homeless families, all of whom had become homeless as a consequence of eviction from the private rental sector, family breakdown, or a combination of the two. Each household had spent significant periods of time living in hotels in Dublin, Ireland, whilst awaiting permanent accommodation, with one household living in a hotel for three years.
Through semi-structured interviews, respondents reported the impact hotel living had on their mental and physical health. Daily routines were disrupted as families were left unable to cook, do their laundry, or take their children to school without expensive, time-consuming journeys across the city. Not being able to cook in particular led to higher expenditures, health implications due to lack of nutrition, and reduced family social time.
The destructive impact on children was particularly acute. One toddler's speech hadn't developed since moving into a hotel, despite her being over two years old and previously meeting development targets. A behavioural specialist suggested this could be a consequence of the trauma of homelessness. Other examples of children's stunted development included not learning to crawl or walk due to a lack of space.
In Dublin alone, there were 850 families legally classed as homeless, including 1,926 children, living in hotel accommodation in 2018. Previous research has looked at experiences of homelessness, but this increasing intersection between homelessness and the hotel industry has been relatively under-researched, until now.
Dr Nowicki said: "This research has really hammered home how terrifyingly easy it is to become homeless; everyone I interviewed just experienced a few bits of bad luck, or lacked a strong family support network. Whilst councils can speak to hotels about improving staff's attitude to homeless residents, the long term solution lies in investing in affordable social housing and most importantly regulating the private rented sector. Most people become homeless because of eviction, and tenants lack security."

Apple Computer has launched its long-awaited iTunes Music Store in Australia, finally giving iPod owners a legal way of downloading music online.
The announcement, as reported last week by ZDNet Australia, was made at a media briefing this morning in Sydney.
Individual songs are priced at AU$1.69, whereas new release albums are mostly AU$16.99. Over 1,000 music videos and six short movies from Pixar Animation Studios can also be purchased at AU$3.39 for viewing on the recently released video-capable iPod.
Australian artists feature heavily on the home page of the store, with Apple claiming exclusive music from Aria award winner Missy Higgins, as well as Evermore, Paul Mac and The Dissociatives. Tracks from classic Aussie artists such as INXS, Hunters & Collectors and Slim Dusty are also available. Madonna's entire catalogue and digital box sets from U2 line up the international artist selection.
Australian users can also purchase gift cards in AU$20, AU$50 and AU$100 denominations through Myer, Coles Supermarkets, BI-LO, Kmart, and other outlets as well as through the Apple Store.
Music purchased from the iTunes Music Store can be listed to on multiple computers and iPod music players. After purchasing a song, up to five computers can be authorised to listen to a purchased track.
Apple's music store is now available in 21 countries.

Creative's Music Store works in the same way as iTunes', in which it's a program that has been customised to be an on-line store. You can download the MediaSource software from Creative's site, or if you're buying a new player from Creative it should be bundled in. The Media Source software, which is basically a re-tooled Windows Media Player but with the Music Store and Creative Soundblaster compatibility built-in, is only compatible with Creative players.
Destra Music's site, one of the first in Australia to offer paid music downloads, also powers the on-line music stores of several leading Australian retailers, including Leading Edge, JB Hi Fi, Sanity and more. For a full list of retailers, visit Destra's website. Destra is also the company behind the free site MP3.com.au. destramusic.com (another fully owned subsidiary of destra) was the first company in Australia to launch a legal digital music service in December 2003
Before you rush off to MP3.com.au thinking that you'll be able to download Britney's best for free, be aware that the site is a forum for mainly unsigned artists to have their music heard. Artists from around Australia (and some internationally) upload their songs as MP3 files on the site, which means that there are no digital rights management issues to get your head around. If you're on the look-out for new music and want to sample some new sounds, MP3.com.au is the site for you.
MTV Music (powered by Optus Zoo)
MTV Music is an unusual beast in that it allows you to purchase songs either through your PC or through your mobile (providing you're an Optus customer), with the bill being charged to your monthly Optus mobile account. The service also allows you to download true tones for your mobile.
Mulemusic has been up and running since February last year, and has a stronger focus on alternative and indie artists than some of the other music download sites - although you can still find your Delta's and George Michael's there.
nineMSN Music
nineMSN's music download store (which is officially co-branded the nineMSN HMV store) doesn't have a blanket DRM policy, with a spokesperson saying the rights vary from label to label. Users can check what a particular song/album's DRM is by clicking on the Rights Information link which should be present beside each song listed at nineMSN.
Soundbuzz was founded in Singapore and has an Asia-wide focus, which means as well as all the usual Western artists you'll find a great selection of Cantonese, Mandarin and Indian music. Soundbuzz is also the tech powering other local music sites such as Telstra BigPond, Creative' Music Store and Optus' MTV Music.
It pays to have a BigPond Internet account if you're planning to use BigPond Music, as you get a substantial discount from what Joe Public has to pay.

They have set themselves much harder targets for 2030 of cutting emissions by 40% – The EU says it will achieve this target but now plans to go much further again by becoming climate neutral by 2050.
The IPCC report on keeping temperatures below 1.5C was a "wake-up call" said Mr Cañete. Reports in recent days have also underlined just how far the gap has grown between what countries promised to do under the Paris agreement, and how far they've gotten with those endeavours.
With global climate talks due to start in a few days in Poland the EU's move, although still a strategy and not a firm commitment, will be welcome news.
"If we do not lead, no one else will," said Mr Cañete.
Is everyone in Europe happy with the new strategy?
Not quite. Some countries such as Germany are struggling with their current commitments and are worried that further cuts would threaten their industries. Others such as Poland are still reliant on coal and would object to even more stringent restrictions on the use of fossil fuels.
Some countries though are keen to press ahead – a group of ten, including Denmark, Sweden and Spain have written a letter to the EU asking for a "clear direction" towards net-zero emissions.
Climate campaigners say the step, though welcome, doesn't go far enough fast enough.
They are worried that there is no plan to increase the intermediate targets for 2030, which many scientists say is crucial. They also want the net-zero date brought forward.
"We are calling for 2040 as the time that would be most in line with safer scenarios to keep temperatures under 1.5C," said Wendel Trio from Climate Action Network Europe.
Has anyone else signed up to climate neutrality?
Sweden has legislated to achieve net zero emissions by 2045. Other countries are looking at it, including the UK which has asked the Committee on Climate Change to report on the idea.
The EU says there needs to be a debate among member states about how to achieve this long term goal. The plan is to adopt and submit the ambitious strategy to the UN by early 2020.
However any further development could be held up by the fact that a new EU commission will be selected next year.

Rick is a longtime member of Detroit's dance music scene, dating back to his time working at Buy Rite records, one of the epicenters of Detroit's 1980's techno music explosion. More recently, his own record shop Vibes New and Rare Music has achieved revered status amongst those in the know, acting as the heart and soul of deep dance music in the city. Rick is also responsible for throwing countless parties in Detroit, helping to develop the house sound that the city is known for, and to build connections to DJs from other cities like Chicago that have proved invaluable over the years. His love for music and records has led to a DJing career that has spanned many genres, though it is his take on deep house music that has led him to international acclaim. Drawing from Detroit's history of soul, jazz, disco, house, and techno, Rick's productions weave these sometimes disparate elements into a beautiful, cohesive whole that remains distinctly his own, just as he does with the records he plays in his DJ sets. Working with Theo Parrish, Keny Dixon Jr., and Malik Pittman on the 3 Chairs project has grown Rick's reputation even greater. With many classic 12" releases under his own name that have been absolutely beaten to death by DJs worldwide.

Fall is just better than summer, even a pleasant summer. Autumn is one of the best times of the year. It gives one a sense of renewal, of things starting over again. It is time to celebrate, dedicate oneself anew and see crisply the possibilities of the coming seasons. And this sense of renewal is one of the reasons autumn and New York go so well together. Starting things over again and exploring new frontiers, harvests and chapters of life is what New York City is all about as well.
Corn Maze at the Queens County Farm Museum: You probably don't expect to find too many working farms in the five boroughs of New York City, but there are. Chief among them is the Queens County Farm Museum, located in the Glen Oaks section of Queens. Its annual corn maze ("Maize Maze") opens this coming Saturday, Sept. 20. A few years ago I entered the corn maze there and managed to find my way out. A few times it was tempting to just break through the walls of corn and thrash my way out of there as if pursued by the Children of the Corn. But we managed to get out without losing our minds, though we didn't stop at every check point along the way (next time, maybe). Corn mazes are quite common in more rural parts of the country, even those not famous for corn. I've come across several while driving through New England.
Any chance to take part in the country life while within the boundaries of New York City is an adventure you should take.
Foliage watching in Inwood Hill Park: People from all over the country come to the Northeast in order to drive through upstate New York or parts of New England to see the trees change color. Save yourself the car rental and take the A train (or the 1 train) to the "upstate Manhattan" neighborhood of Inwood and Inwood Hill Park. I was fortunate enough to live across the street from Inwood Hill Park for more than 10 years. The brilliant array of colors that the trees of Inwood present are as grand as any you'll find upstate. Inwood Hill Park contains the last natural forest in Manhattan. Even on a day when lots of people are in the park, it's not hard to find yourself in a quiet and remote part of the woods. Also, because New York City is warmer than upstate and New England, the trees will take longer to change colors, so you have more time to make it uptown. While you're in Inwood you may spot some eagles or hawks in the park. Nearby Fort Tryon Park is worth a visit too, but lacks the dense woods.
Learn some new skills: Want to be more of a capable person and less of a lazy spendthrift? Well the Fall is a good time to learn some new skills and there are chances to learn how to be a more useful person. For example, New York State is offering free disaster preparedness training courses both in person and online. And this weekend in Queens you can learn how to can your own vegetables thanks to the Flushing CSA (full disclosure: my wife is a member of Flushing CSA and is helping organize this event). So you have no excuse not to emerge from autumn a better and more prepared person.

2Signs and Stairwells
"Murder, through and through," Merc said, bending over the body of a beautiful young woman. "Why do pretty girls always go for the psychos?"
"Because psychos are sexy and interesting." Kari snorted. "Murder it is. But there's so little blood, even though she's been lying here the whole night. No signs of struggle. And this knife – I've never seen anything like it." A blade almost as transparent as glass yet clouded as if some duppy swirled within.
Merc walked towards the patio, stopping for a moment to admire the spectacular view of the city. Buildings leaking neon from their sides and windows. Roads at their feet awash with a festival of lights. "What're you thinking, Kari?"
She got to her feet, massaged her throbbing temple. "There's precision here, a lot of it. And the way the body's been positioned. Looks almost ritualistic." For all she tried, she could not pull her gaze away from that beautiful, dead face. The young woman looked only a good shake away from wakefulness. A bloody fingerprint marked each eyelid (so symmetrical) and similar fingerprints were all over the knife and one of the whiskey glasses on the end-table close by. Does the murderer want to be found? Was this some kind of show? It was unheard of. Murders in the city were rare, and in any case murderers hardly ever wanted to be found. Despite that the cases that did happen were always resolved within days.
Merc whistled and she looked up at him standing in the doorway. His hands were thrust deep into his pants pockets, and the wind tossed his clothes like flags about his thin postern frame. Yet, oddly enough, he seemed to fill that door-less space.
"Ritualistic, huh?"
"Yes," Kari said. "Look." She motioned to the body. "This girl's arms are outstretched. Her right arm's pointing to the whiskey glasses. The left one follows the angle of the knife's blade to the bed. Her hair's been laid out flat like a black halo around her head. And her body is at ninety degrees to the Eye – directly in its view. I'm guessing that whoever did this wanted it to be seen, wanted to see what would happen."
He turned and stepped back inside. "That's quite a guess."
"I know. But … I got this feeling, you know?"
"I learned long ago not to question a woman's feelings. At least, only when they feel they don't love me." A smile touched his lips and was gone. Scratching his greying sideburns he turned to regard the watercolour of a nude woman on the wall beside him. "But it looks to me like a crime of passion. The guy found out she was horning him, et cetera, he got angry, and so on, maybe embarrassed, blah, blah, then violent; the usual story."
"Maybe in your day. You and I both know those kinds of crimes no longer happen." She crossed her arms. "The Eye sees everything. And … and people just don't kill each other for such reasons anymore."
Merc looked at her for what felt like an uncomfortably long time before turning away. "You sound pretty convinced. Enough for your report?"
"Maybe." She sighed. "Yeah, yeah."
"Then let's head out."
"To the Eye?"
Merc laughed. "You know better than to ask that."
"They would have seen! The killer wanted to be seen."
"I hear you. Listen, they'll get your report and then contact us when they find this asshole. Same as always."
"We can get this sorted today," Kari hissed, her fists tightening so hard her fingernails bit into her palms.
Merc rested his hands on Kari's shoulders. "What's gotten into you, Kari? We'll get this guy, no worries."
"I … I'm sorry. It's just … how dare he. How dare he kill someone right in full view of the Eye? He knows he'll be caught, why would he do it? To prove what?"
"People are cunts, same as they were when I first started out. Always seeing how much they can get away with. Come on. The quicker your report gets done, the quicker we can see this guy in a prison cell. And a workaholic like you'll get that written up in moments, I'm sure."
"We should kill him."
Merc's eyebrows shot up. "Say again?"
"Set an example. We're building a better world and he … how dare he …" Easy, Kari. Get a hold of yourself, girl. Merc is a vet with thirty years on the force. Do you really want him to think you're a novice who's barely in control? "But yeah. We'll get justice for this girl."
"Right," Merc agreed. But his eyes lingered on Kari's before she looked towards the door.
She followed him as he left the loft, brushing past one of the Investigators; mute men and women who catalogued every square inch of the crime scene and uploaded it to the Centre. They glided into the room on feet that hardly seemed to move, their eyes down and averted from hers.
Kari let them pass before heading outside into the main hall. They would soon have a lead – as always – a task made all the easier by the abundance of evidence the murderer had left behind. She smiled and shook her head. People never learn. She thought. You cannot escape justice! Even after all this time, people never learn. But maybe if we were harder. If we showed them just what a bad idea breaking the law is…
The condominium was quiet at this time of night and so devoid of life as to seem abandoned. The corridor through which they walked was unpainted, revealing the coarse limestone surface. Recessed LED lighting illuminated most of the place, but shadows seemed to lurk at the periphery of her vision, disappearing when she turned to regard them. A gust of wind nipped at her hands and neck, so very cold that she felt goosebumps rise along the length of her skin.
"Very soon there won't be any need for people like you and me," Merc said, his hands still in his pockets, his eyes turned to the floor. "Heard they're installing some new software for the Eye. Making it more accurate, more consistent. More … real-time, even."
"Why are you saying it like it's a bad thing? It will be able to intervene in crimes as they happen, putting a stop to theft, rapes and murder forever."
"Well you're certainly a proper convert. I just wonder where my pay-checks are going to be coming from when that goes live."
Kari frowned at him. At times she didn't know what to think of the man. They were detectives, part of the city's front-line defence against crime. What could be better than having a system that would fight crime more effectively? Wouldn't something like that be worth sacrificing your job, if it even came to that? She sighed and turned her attention on the elevator and stairs as they drew close.
Merc called for the elevator and turned to her with a half-smile. "Taking the ride?"
"No. Why do you keep on asking me that every single time?"
"Just trying to encourage you to face your fear." The elevator chimed and the doors slid open. Merc stepped inside and turned back to her. "And even if it does stick, it's not like you're going to be trapped in here alone. You'd have a big sexy man to keep you company."
"I'll see you at the car," she said, turning away and heading down the stairs. She thought she heard the man snicker, but then the elevator doors closed and he was falling down into the gut of the building.
Twenty flights to ground level. Kari stopped five flights down and sat on the steps. She massaged her knees, took deep breaths. Her phone rang. Probably Merc to tease her about how he was going to grab some pudding and souse, eat it, then circle back to pick her up when she got to the bottom of the stairs.
Sighing she pulled out her cell and saw another face on the glowing screen. She stared at it for what felt like forever before answering.
"Hey," the man on the other side of the line said. "You at work?"
"I do have a job, remember?" Kari replied.
He chuckled, mirthlessly. "Listen. Sorry about last night. I shouldn't have said––."
"Stop calling me."
"Kari, Kari. Let me apologise, okay? I love you. I want to be with you. I'm … not perfect. You're not perfect. But––."
"I am perfect. Bye."
She ended the call. The cell felt warmer than her hands did. Warmer than her heart. A dry breeze curled down the stairwell, licked her goosebumps. She thought she felt a presence but she was alone. Alone as ever.

While Lady Gaga said she broke into tears of joy after learning she and Bradley Cooper had been nominated for acting Oscars for their roles in "A Star Is Born," she acknowledged that her co-star might be a bit bummed that he didn't get a nomination for best director.
So, she sent out a message, via a Los Angeles Times interview Tuesday, that should ease any disappointment.
"At the end of the day, he knows that he's the best director in my eyes, and in all of our eyes as his cast," Lady Gaga, 32, said.
She added that Cooper was "so happy" that "A Star Is Born" also was nominated for best picture and her hit love ballad with him, "Shallow," was nominated for best original song. Their veteran co-star Sam Elliott also received his first-ever Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor.
In all, "A Star Is Born" came away with eight total nominations, exceeded only by "Roma" and "The Favourite," with 10 each.
The only surprise shut-out for "A Star Is Born" was Cooper in the best director category after he helmed the film's development from a classic Hollywood story about fame and ill-fated love. During promotional interviews for the film, Cooper also appeared to be more interested in talking about his first-time role as director than in how he played the film's tragic leading man.
Lady Gaga told the Los Angeles Times, "I know that he's so happy that we've all been nominated and that the film was recognized and we all feel really, really beyond elated for the recognition."
In that same interview, she also talked about why getting an Academy Award nomination is such a big deal. The "Bad Romance" icon has previously been nominated or won Grammys, Emmys and Golden Globes, both for her music and for her acting. Earlier this month, Lady Gaga won the Golden Globe" for co-writing "Shallow," and she was previously nominated for an Oscar for best original song for the 2016 song, "Til It Happens to You" from "The Hunting Ground."
"There's really no award that is more esteemed than the Oscar in acting, and for music, it is also extremely special," Lady Gaga said. "Since I was a little girl, I always admired all of the artists that put in so much hard work and passion into filmmaking. Watching the award shows, I used to cry with them. It was always like I felt like I was them, even though I wasn't there. It was always a big deal with my family."
With regard to Cooper, he and Lady Gaga have talked about developing a close creative bond while bringing sexual heat to their roles in "A Star Is Born." They gushed about each other quite a bit during the media tour for their film.

Cooper called Lady Gaga "a revelation" and said in interviews he couldn't have made the movie without her.
"I think the biggest thing I learned is that sky's the limit if you find a companion artistically, and you have a project," he said, according to New York magazine's The Cut. "There is no dreaming too big. What people can do together is so much more powerful than what they can do by themselves."

As we have learnt in our inquiry unit, water is an essential resource for the environment and humans. However, water is also used by humans for many different recreational activities. For many years, water has been used for surfing, boating, fishing, kayaking, skiing, body-boarding, jet-skiing, wind surfing and more fun and exciting activities. A new form of recreational activity involving water is starting to become very popular around the world. It is called flyboarding.

18 thoughts on "Flyboarding"
If I will try flyboarding it be so awsome because it will feal like if we are flying like superman. I think that every body will think that flying is amazing.
I think it will be very dangererus because whem in the water a shark can attack you.
– How do think flyboarding works?
The water pressure is making the people floating in the air.
I think fly boarding is when you have a jet ski and you have a powerful hose attached to the back and water come out and you lift of the ground and go into the air and you are flying.
I think fly boarding would be fun but a bit freaky to go high over the ocean I have done something like this but not a jetpack so I do have an idea what fly boarding is.
I think fly boarding would be dangerous for young kids like me because if you don't know how to use a fly board you might fall into the water and what happens if you can't swim you know you're in danger but for adults it might be ok for them because they are allot older and they should be able to swim.
You have a jet ski and you have a strong hose attached to it and a hole heap of water comes out and you fly high over and through water.
I think flyboarding is that you using the pumps like if they if it is a jetpack.
Flyboarding is when a person is hovering across the water with the water that they used, and that water comes back out. It is also when a group of people are doing tricks together while flyboarding, such as jumping up as a dolphin, and landing into the water or looking like superman while flyboarding across the sea. They have hoses attached to a jet ski because I'm pretty sure it's so that they don't get lost anywhere across the sea.
To go flyboarding, it would be very fun to hang around the sea, while getting lifted up by the water. It would be exciting to do tricks and go under the water. I would feel a bit bad though because I would have just realised how much money I spent on the flyboard, but it would still be great to do such a great activity.
I don't think it would be dangerous as long as you are in a very safe spot, so that there are no sea creatures to harm you while you're doing great tricks. I also think that you should have a life vest because the water can get very deep and if you're not a good swimmer, than you can easily drown.
I think that a flyboard works because you need to be in water first so the water gets sucked up this pipe that would be attached to the flyboard, and when you're up in the air, you have to push down a button to blow out the water so you hover above the sea. I think that you never stay up too long because the skinny hose cannot handle your body for a long time.
dakotah says:
Flybording is a jet pack flying above and under the water.
I would think to go Flybording would be very cool to go up and down in the water like a dolphin but it cost a lot of money to have a go.
Flybording would be very dangerous because on the video when you go under water than you stay under for a very long time and you might not breath well.
I think Flybording would work by the hose the power would bush you in the air like a rocket in the air.
Chloe Holmes says:
Explain what you think flyboarding is.
I think flyboarding is where is where you have a big hose that is contented to a jet ski.
What do you think it would be like to go flyboarding?
I believe it would be amazing flying through the air but at the same time it would be scary because you don't know if the hose will break or come off the Jet Ski.
Do you think it would be dangerous? Why/Why not?
Yes I believe it would be dangerous because if you go under water you could drown or if the water was shadow you could bump your head and you could die or if there are rocks and you bump your head on them you could die or get a serious head injury.
How do you think flyboarding works?
I believe that flyboarding works through a Jet Ski and a hose is contented through the Jet Ski.
People fly/ hovering above the water acting like a dolphin.
I think it would be like flying but you would fall back in the water.
It would be dangerous because if you fell on your back and the water pressure on your arms you would probly brake your back .
I think flybording is water pouring out from a hose connected to a jet ski, the pressure of the water pulls you of the water.
I think flyboarding is the same as using a jet-ski, but instead of the water coming out of the sides it comes out the bottom, and because it's lighter than a jet-ski the force of the water pushes it up into the air. It is like a jetpack but using water.
I think it would be amazing because I have already been jet-skiing and that was really fun, but I think it could be a whole lot different when you get into the air and can fly around.
I think it could be extremely dangerous because what would happen if the pipe got blocked with something and it stopped working and you weren't very close to the jetpack, a shark comes up[ and eats you like a bear savage eating a fish! You could possibly run into a bird or even fall into the jetski or other flyboarders!
– How do think flyboarding works? I believe that it works by instead the jet-ski bursting the water out the side of it; it pumps the water into the hose/ tube thing, goes up to the board and as the water bursts out (going downwards) the force of the water pushes the person upwards and allows them to fly!
Tahlia says:
-Explain what you think fly boarding is.
Fly boarding is like a jet pack above water that enables people to fly above the water and jump through the water like a dolphin
-What do you think it would be to go fly boarding?
I think it would be scary to go fly boarding because you may hurt yourself, by doing backflips and going under the water.
-Do you think it would be dangerous? Why/Why not?
Yes, because you could easily hurt yourself, when you go up out of the water and back into the water, you could fall on the Jet Ski, be near sharks or real shallow water!
-How do you think fly boarding works?
When you're on the Jet Ski there is a rope that is strapped onto you and then you fly above the water, but you have control of the ropes so you can keep up with the Jet Ski!
Shani says:
– Explain what you think flyboarding is, Flyboarding is new water activity that is like a jetpack above the water and the jetpack can make you jump out of the water like a dolphin.
– What do you think it would be like to go flyboarding?, It would be the most AWESOME water activity ever and it would be like you're flying like a bird and swimming and jumping out of the water like a dolphin, (Flying Dolphin).
– Do you think it would be dangerous? Why/Why not?, It could be dangerous because if you go in the water face first and the water was shallow you would break your neck and become paralyzed.
– How do think flyboarding works?, I think flyboarding works by the water like when you have a hose and you let go of it fly's in the air and it is like flyboarding because flyboarding fly's in the air.
I think fly boarding is a jetpack that requires water and a jet ski to get the water to fill the jetpack so it can keep on going. I think that fly boarding would be an amazing type of water activity that can be used for people that could go on summer holidays if they're rich enough to actually pay for it for the whole thing if you want it. I think this wouldn't be a dangerous activity because there are a lot of a people around to support you if you don't come back up from the surface and there are life jackets on you if you slip from the jetpack or something like that. I think fly boarding works because they put a pipe on the jet ski and the pipe goes into the jet ski then the water thats in the jet ski goes into the hose then the water from the hose goes into the jetpack then the water from the jetpack gets released back into the water creating pressure from the jetpack which makes you go upwards and then you're flying then you can start doing tricks like backflips and front flips.
Reece says:
I think flyboarding is like you are on a pad that is like a jetpack but it squirts out water. I think it would be awesome because you will be up in the air and you are able to control were it is going a little bit. I think it is dangerous because you might fall off and the board can loose control easier because you're not on the board and you could get hurt when you crash into the ground or the board could crash into you. I think flyboarding works by the water is trying to break free and because there is so much water wanting to break free it is coming out faster and with more force so that is what makes you move because of the power of the water coming out.
Nyetap Ruach says:
What do you think Fly boarding is?
I think that fly boarding is a water thing that you use hoses to get lifted with water off the ocean water. I think that fly boarding is another thing that has jet Skiing and surf boarding because you firstly start on the water with a board and you have a jet ski following where you go and you use the board to stay on the water before you even get off the water and into the air.
-What do you think it would be like to go Fly boarding?
I think that it would be fun because on the video it looks like fun and it looks like it is easy to use because the people that are doing it seem to be having fun and their facial expression looks like they are really delighted to be doing fly boarding.
-Do you think it would be dangerous? Why or Why not?
I think that fly boarding would be dangerous because if you are near the shore and you start fly boarding, while landing you could break your neck because you are too close to the shore and there isn't enough water to surround you.
I think that fly boarding is using a hose, a jet ski and a board to make the fly boarding work. I think that you have to connect the hose with the Jet Ski and I think that there has to be a place to the water to go through to get into the hose.
Louise Fabris says:
I think that fly boarding is a hose is connected to a jet ski on the back there is a hole on the back on of it and it pumping water and pushing the people into the air and allowing them to go into the air.
I think it will be very scary to go fly boarding and it could be very fun at the same time as it being very scary but mostly fun and exciting and sometimes it can be dangerous in many different ways to be hurt.
I think it will be dangerous because if you fall of and if the hose comes off what will happen then you could die or you can be unconscious and not be a good thing and you might have to go to the hospital and die.
I think that fly boarding is worked by the hose and it powers up the water and it comes out of a thing at the end of these things it comes out of a thing and it has it on the feet.
Flyboarding is when people go up into the air. I think flyboarding would be cool to do and I think it won't be dangerous.
Guguei says:
– Explain what you think fly boarding is. Fly boarding is when you connect a large hose with a board to jet ski.
– What do you think it would be like to go fly boarding? It would be amazingly wonderful because it would be my fest time to fly above water with a board
– Do you think it would be dangerous? Why/Why not? I think it would be dangerous because when your under water you can lose control and drown or hit your had on the grownd or rock and get conches and drown.
– How do think fly boarding works? You twist the hose to the back of the jet ski and that's how it works.
