About two out of every five students in Texas who start high school do not graduate, according to new research that appears to contrast sharply with recent state estimates.
The study by the Intercultural Development Research Association, a nonprofit organization in San Antonio, found that roughly 39 percent of students tracked from the freshman class of 1998-99 through their senior year in 2001-02 dropped out of high school before graduation. The rate for 2001-02 improved by about 1 percentage point from the previous year.
The IDRA dropout data has been collected annually since 1986. Since the 1994-1995 graduating class, the state's dropout rate has wavered between 40 percent and 43 percent, according to the research and policy organization, which seeks to improve school equity and increase educational access for poor and minority students and those with language barriers.
Among students who were scheduled to graduate in 2001- 2002, Hispanic students had the highest dropout rate over a four-year period, at 51 percent, followed by black students at 46 percent. White students had a 26 percent dropout rate.
The group's estimates differed from the dropout figures offered recently by the Texas Education Agency.
The state's estimated dropout rate is 6.2 percent for students scheduled to graduate in 2000-2001, who entered high school four years earlier. The dropout rate for a single year was 1 percent in 2000-2001, for students in 7th through 12th grades. Critics have labeled those figures as misleading.
Adrienne M. Sobolak, a spokeswoman for the state education agency, said the state's rate was lower than others' partly because it did not count students who were enrolled in General Educational Development courses as dropouts, and because it included a different pool of students.
Ms. Sobolak noted that later this month, the state is expected to come out with a revised dropout rate that reflects the more stringent reporting requirements in the federal "No Child Left Behind" Act of 2001.
A Nevada charter school that was founded by a state senator and faces allegations of fiscal mismanagement and failure to meet the conditions of its own charter has received its second reprieve from the Washoe County school district's board of trustees.
On a 5-2 vote on Oct. 22, the board members opted not to revoke the charter of the Nevada Leadership Academy, which was founded by Sen. Maurice E. Washington, a Republican, provided that the school gives the board a complete budget, a signed lease, and insurance information.
District officials had recommended that the K-8 school's charter in Sparks, Nev., be revoked in August after staff members alleged that the school was fiscally mismanaged, employed a known felon, and held an improper lease. School supporters, however, persuaded board members to try to save the school.
The school board voted 4-3 earlier this fall to allow the academy, which has fewer than 100 students, to keep its charter for another year. The issue was revisited, though, when the school submitted an incomplete budget.
A private company hired by the academy is set to submit an audit of school accounts by Nov. 28. Superintendent Jim Hager of the 59,000-student Washoe County district, said the district administration would present its findings to the board again in mid-December.
More than one in four Florida students who accepted state-financed vouchers to attend private schools this semester have returned to the state's public education system, a survey by TheMiami Herald has found.
Last summer, 607 students requested such tuition vouchers to leave public schools that had received failing grades from the state. Twenty-eight percent of those students, or 170, had returned to public schools as of Nov. 1, according to a survey of local school districts conducted by the newspaper.
Of the 330 students who used vouchers to leave the 361,000-student Miami-Dade County district's five failing schools, 90 have returned since August. Of that group, more than two-thirds returned to their original failing schools, while 27 enrolled in better-performing public schools.
A spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Jeb Bush said the paper's findings showed that the program works. "While some may have reasons for returning to their home school, no longer are they trapped and forced to stay in failing schools," said Elizabeth E. Hirst.
The number of students with state-funded vouchers who returned to public schools tops the percentage giving up newly offered corporate scholarships, the newspaper reported in a story published Nov. 1. Those privately financed scholarships—the state's largest school choice program boasts 7,500 participants—provide aid to low-income families so their children can attend private schools. The companies get a dollar-for-dollar tax write-off for the scholarships. Only 28 students statewide gave up corporate scholarships to stay in the public system this year, according to the paper.


Sitio Elena is the newest garden venue located in the heart of Valley Golf, one of the most prestigious golf clubs in the country. The owner's passion for the nature and eye for beauty sparked off the conversion of this once idle property to a sanctuary- a paradise where the most intimate of celebrations and event can take pace.
More and more, wedding couples prefer outdoor venues for wedding ceremony and wedding reception. A beautiful setting can really make a wedding reception more memorable for not only the bride and the groom but also for wedding guests attending the ceremony and the reception.
Frequently visited, best wedding venues outside Manila in Pampanga and Subic are listed here including a beach resort which is a semi-private establishment located in the central business district near shopping, business, entertainment, airport and other conveniences of Philippines Clark Freeport Zone.


The Puerto Rico Tourism Company (PRTC) is recovering from the devastation of last year's super hurricanes and has announced its rapid-pace recovery efforts and positive outlook for 2018.
Host of the 15th edition of the Caribbean Travel Marketplace, the most important regional tourism event of the Caribbean, the country is showing its readiness to host visitors from all over the world.
"We have made great strides because we've implemented a comprehensive strategy which has, in turn, secured a promising comeback for the Island," said Carla Campos, Acting Executive Director of the PRTC.
"Puerto Rico has reached great milestones that couldn't have been achieved without Governor Ricardo Rosselló's leadership and the immense support we've received from travel industry private sector partners since day one. With over 1.9 billion dollars of hospitality development in the pipeline and an existing lodging inventory undergoing exciting renovations, Puerto Rico's revamping is underway."
Cruises: Not only did Puerto Rico resume operations just two and a half weeks after Hurricane Maria, but by end of June 2018, Puerto Rico will have received 1.04 million passengers. This Winter season, 14 vessels – four more than the previous season – are homeporting in San Juan, including Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas, the Windstar Pride, Silverseas Silver Wind and Viking Sea. The 2018/2019 cruising season is set to witness a record-breaking 1.7 million passengers, which is expected to generate roughly $250 million in revenue for the economy.
Air Access: The airline industry is rapidly restoring and growing. Two weeks after Hurricane Maria, the Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport had 20 daily flights, but today, there are on average 110 daily flights. Capacity is on the rise with a current monthly seat volume of 391,000. By July 2018, seat capacity will increase by 81,000 more. Very promising is that by early summer 2018, air access will be on par with levels this time last year, and Puerto Rico is growing at a faster pace than comparable destinations that have gone through similar situations. Growth is driven by newly established routes and existing frequency, in addition to larger aircrafts that will result in higher seat capacity.
Hotels: Currently, there are over 122 hotels operating, which equates to 12,458 available rooms. An exciting 2,670 more rooms will be added to that inventory after undergoing renovations. For example, the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico Golf & Beach Resort, the Ritz-Carlton Reserve and El San Juan Hotel. Looking ahead, the Puerto Rico Tourism Company estimates 25 percent more rooms in the pipeline for development, which equates to 3,800 new rooms. Some of the hotels in the pipeline are the JW Marriott, Aloft San Juan Convention Center, Aloft Ponce, Serafina Hotel, Four Seasons Cayo Largo, among others. Approximately $1.9 billion will be injected into new developments and renovations, which contributes to adding roughly 3,831 new jobs.
Destination Attractions: A month after Hurricane Maria, the Puerto Rico Tourism Company announced that 22 attractions were open, however, today there are more than 120. Additionally, 13 golf courses and 15 casinos are also open for recreation. Travellers need not worry about being hungry while on the Island because Puerto Rico has 4,000 operating restaurants. We are seeing continued commitment from partners who are choosing to keep their big-ticket events in Puerto Rico, like the DIVAS Half Marathon and 5K, PGA, Ironman, and MLB Series, all events happening in Q1 and Q2 of this year alone.
If planning a vacation is on the horizon, Puerto Rico wants to set the record straight.

The Morningside Area Alliance
The Morningside Area Alliance is the institutional descendant of Morningside Heights Inc, the famous 1950's effort, headed by David Rockefeller, which redeveloped the northern part of Morningside Heights into Morningside Gardens, a fine high-rise development in a park-like setting on 122nd St. The Alliance's members are the major academic, religious and other institutions of the neighborhood. The Morningside Area Alliance sponsors community security patrols, both on foot and in cars, and other projects, including the Claremont Youth Center. Their offices can be reached at (212) 749-1570 and the Community Patrol at 222-7121. Below is their community office at Amsterdam Avenue and 121st St. and one of their patrol cars.
The Jewish Theological Seminary has this to say:
"When you arrive at the area between 114th and 116th Streets on Amsterdam Avenue, you may find the new tree-lined streets a welcome relief. They are a project of the Morningside Area Alliance. If you go to the public schools in the area, be sure to inquire about the tutoring and enrichment programs that are in the works for PS 36, an early childhood school, and PS 165, an elementary school. You might want to explore the Claremont Youth Center, created in the 1970's to provide space for recreational, educational and cultural activities for the area youth. Providing after-school, evening and Saturday programs, in addition to summer camp and SAT tutoring, the youth center hasbeen used by over eight hundred area children each year. Fine arts and multi-media programs may soon comprise a new facet of the activities offered at the Claremont Youth Center.
"In its newest effort, the alliance has turned its sights on tourism. Morningside Heights, a natural tourist stop with so many historic and cultural sites, too often claims the status of a well-kept secret. MAA has begun a campaign to celebrate the area, attracting visitors with a self-guided walking tour,including a brochure, a map and a poster of the area.
"This is a community with all kinds of resources and all kinds of needs. The Morningside Area Alliance, under the leadership of Ann McIver, helps put these together, contributing to the greater good of the community," commented JTS vice chancellor and chief administrative officer Rabbi Michael B. Greenbaum, one of the Seminary's representatives to MAA and a member of itsexecutive committee. He continued, "And through the tourism program, the alliance is helping member institutions say to tourists and to the community, 'Our gates are open for you to come in and see who we are. We don't just occupy space here. We are part of this vibrant and dynamic community.'"

ZEUS Joins International Community of Extreme Light Virtuosos
Catharine June • August 23, 2022
As a member of the X-lites program, ZEUS joins an international community of extreme light labs working together to advance laser science for the benefit of society
Prof. Louise Willingale checks out one of the three target chambers available in the ZEUS facility.
The University of Michigan's three-petawatt ultrashort pulse laser facility known as ZEUS is now a member of a newly-funded multi-institution, international collaboration to develop and apply "extreme light" to advance the frontiers of science and engineering.
Extreme light refers to the new generation of lasers capable of accessing frontiers of laser-matter interactions at the highest intensities, the fastest times, and the shortest distances yet obtained.
Funded by the National Science Foundation and coordinated by The Ohio State University, the goal of this collaboration is to improve communication among otherwise separated research fields, and promote broad participation at the frontiers of laser-driven science. The initiative is called Extreme Light in Intensity, Time, and Space (X-lites).
"Each facility will have a different perspective, so the idea is to come together and figure out best practices and how to best integrate our different user communities," explained Prof. Louise Willingale, Associate Director of the ZEUS Facility and Michigan PI on the project.
Guiding the X-lite team as they work out the best ways to foster collaborations between laser facilities on the one hand, and among the users themselves on the other, is the principle of The Science of Team Science, an interdisciplinary field that examines "how teams connect and collaborate to achieve scientific breakthroughs that would not be attainable by either individual or additive efforts."
When completed in 2023, ZEUS, short for Zettawatt-Equivalent Ultrashort pulse laser System, will be the most advanced particle accelerator in the United States, and joins a network of similarly extraordinary facilities around the world with the goal of opening up research opportunities to an international cohort of scientists and engineers.
These laser facilities don't come cheap. ZEUS, for example, is supported by more than $18M from the NSF. This means that researchers who are used to working in their own laboratories need to adapt to a new paradigm where they become part of a collaborative of researchers using the same facilities.
X-lites establishes two, parallel networks of connectivity. The top graphic depicts the network formed among users to encourage collaborations, share information about scientific advances, and discuss priorities for research and development. The lower graphic depicts the network formed among user facilities to share engineering and operating knowledge and serve as hubs for effective collaboration. Graphic courtesy OSU.
Along with a greater number of facilities and users working together comes the need for highly-effective and efficient training. Managers of ZEUS have already hired several engineers, and will be hiring many more in the near future to train new users on the highly specialized equipment available in the ZEUS facility. Additional staff, including data scientists, electrical engineers, and mechanical engineers, will be hired to support the research.
"There are opportunities to efficiently train researchers who need to use specific types of experiments, so that not every facility would need to offer the same type of training," said Willingale.
ZEUS leadership expects to be sending out requests for proposals (RFPs) this fall, giving researchers in a wide range of fields the ability to conduct research at Michigan at no cost to the user, aside from travel costs.
With users coming from a variety of disciplines (physics, chemistry, biology, materials, engineering, and more), there is tremendous opportunity for cross-disciplinary collaborations, which is considered essential for solving the most complex problems facing society.
"The entire ZEUS team is excited to be part of this international network of researchers and facilities," said Willingale. "We've seen this work at Michigan, and we look forward to being part of the next frontier of extreme light."
Current partners in the X-lites effort include:
NSF NeXUS Facility, The Ohio State University
Zettawatt-Equivalent Ultrashort Pulse Laser System (ZEUS), University of Michigan
Compact X-ray Free Electron Laser (cXFEL), Arizona State University
Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE), University of Rochester
Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), Hungary
Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP), Romania
Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI)-Beamlines, Czech Republic
BriXS, Italy
Smart*Light, The Netherlands
Attosecond Chemistry (ATTOCHEM), Spain
John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science, United Kingdom
Institute for Research in the Social Sciences (IRISS), Colorado State University. IRISS will provide expertise in forming collaborative teams.
X-lites is one of eight initiatives funded this year by the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering through their Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations (AccelNet) program, created to "to accelerate the process of scientific discovery and prepare the next generation of U.S. researchers for multiteam international collaborations."

Homeschooling moms loved their work
WCR PHOTO | THANDIWE KONGUAVI
Homeschool mothers and facilitators Michele Barter, Rachelle Godin and Maria Waldner took part in a panel session March 11 at the Western Canadian Catholic Home School Conference.
THANDIWE KONGUAVI
WESTERN CATHOLIC REPORTER
Michele Barter remembers one particularly difficult season in homeschooling.
She was outside hanging up laundry one morning, while her perfect children were diligently doing their school work.
"As I watched the school bus go by, inside I pleaded 'Stoooppp!'" she said.
Barter, a panel speaker at the Western Canadian Catholic Home School Conference on March 10-12 at Providence Renewal Centre in Edmonton, shared some of the struggles and stresses she and her husband of 30 years, Mike, have faced during 22 years of homeschooling their nine children.
"Even when I felt I was doing a terrible job homeschooling (and sometimes I was), I still felt in my heart that they were better at home and our job as parents was to keep trying, keep praying and trust God to fill in all the cracks."
Barter is grateful for the many blessings that have come from homeschooling. If one were to ask her kids, some of the best memories would be reading good books, going to band camp together and a two-month trip across Canada. The flexibility in their schedules helped them manage the demands of family life and the ministry of serving other homeschooling families as facilitators.
Over the years, the Barters faced a variety of challenges, including losing a baby, dealing with depression, trials in their own marriage, and having two children with disabilities.
"All those experiences and challenges just helped to draw us closer to God and gave him the opportunity to draw closer to us," said Barter.
The conference panel, called Perspective from the Field, featured three homeschool mothers and facilitators.
Marla Waldner had graduated with a bachelor of education from the University of Saskatchewan and taught Grade 1 in Wainwright before her career took a surprising turn.
The only job available to Waldner when she moved to Edmonton with her husband Darryl 20 years ago was as a homeschool facilitator. Prior to that, she had not considered or even heard much about homeschooling.
"It was just nothing I was interested in. I really didn't understand how you guys could do it. I didn't understand how it could be done because the teacher in me went to school four years."
Her husband, just as skeptical, thought she had joined a cult.
"Long skirts, Birkenstocks and long hair; that's pretty much what he thought about home schooling," said Waldner. "There is still some of that. But there's so much more."
After her first year as a facilitator, she saw homeschool families do things she could not imagine doing in a classroom.
When she became pregnant with her second child, she could not muster the courage to send her kindergarten-age firstborn to school. She reasoned that she would try homeschooling until her daughter reached Grade 3, then take her out.
That daughter is now 23 years old, graduated from university as a teacher and never attended a regular school.
"Looking back, I wouldn't miss a day of it," said Waldner.
Rachelle Godin was expecting her fourth baby with three other children at home - aged six, four and two - when she decided to start homeschooling.
"We wanted our kids to know and love God and know and love us and spend time with us, so we were really convinced homeschooling was the best way to do that," she said.
Godin was introduced to homeschooling through her husband's family. His parents had homeschooled in the 1970s.
"My parents weren't as crazy about it because they thought it was really weird," said Godin. "We did it anyway because we weren't worried about being weird."
One of the best things about homeschooling for Godin, who also has an education degree, was the excitement she felt at seeing her daughter learn.
"I thought, if I had sent her to school I would have missed out on all that. I wouldn't have got to see the light bulb on top of her head."
It was not always easy. Sometimes she would stay up all night worrying that her children were behind, that they were missing out. Sometimes she would feel guilty about her parenting.
FEELING OVERWHELMED
"I should send my kids to school so they could spend less time with me," she thought. She worried that her kids were picking up her own bad habits.
"You should pick up the good ones over here!"
At one point, when she was feeling overwhelmed, she surrendered her children to God.
"I was like, 'What am I doing? How could I think I could do this?' I just realized, these are God's children, not my children."
She accepted the fact there would be gaps, things missed, concepts she did not understand and would skip over, gaps in their education. She prayed, "Lord, I'll do what I can, and you fill in the gaps."
"I felt like there was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders; that their entire future wasn't dependent on me."
RUINING THE KIDS
Parents think they can ruin their child in six months, said Godin, offering advice to new homeschoolers:
"Relax, it's OK," she said. "You can't ruin them that quickly. . . . It takes years."
Keep your vocations in the right order, she added.
First is your relationship with God; Second is your relationship with your husband or wife; and third is your relationship with your children. "Everything else is underneath that," said Godin. "Homeschooling falls under everything else."

Samsung Galaxy Z Specs & Features – Ditch Android For Tizen
The first phone from Samsung using the Tizen OS, instead of the Android, is being released at the Tizen Developer Conference being held in San Francisco in June this year. The phone is called the Samsung Z and will first be released in Russia somewhere around August this year. The phone is a mid range device, offering a screen of 48 inches and a resolution of 720p. A Snapdragon 800 Processor powers it. The most interesting aspect of this new phone is that it runs on Tizen, which borrows many features from the TouchWiz Android, but adds some twists.
The Tizen OS in Samsung Z takes a lot of its features from Galaxy Android device. The OS is flat in appearance and the widgets can be seen in the four home screens. The notification bar is found on the upper portion of the display. When you swipe downwards, you can view the shortcuts as well as other settings. A dock is seen at the screen bottom having 8 round icons. When you swipe upwards, you can view all the apps on the phone, whereas this feature is not available on the TouchWiz of Android. The 8 icons can be seen even when you move through the several screens with other apps. It remains constantly in view along, including the home button, the back and the menu buttons.
A Feeling of Deja Vu
Those who are used to the Android OS will find the Tizen OS on Samsung Z very familiar. If you want to check out the recently accessed applications, you have to merely give a long press to the home button, similar to the Galaxy Note 3. Most of the applications that are pre-installed in the phone are also similar, but not so refined as in the Android OS. The S Note, the Contacts, Messages and other pre-installed applications all offer a feeling of déjà vu, rather than something new. The camera application also has the same modes, such as the Best Face and the Beauty Face, similar to those on Android devices.
Mini Applications on Tizen
The Tizen OS on the Samsung Z also offers many mini applications, such as the camera, the calculator and the video player. You can place these applications wherever you wish on the home page. The user has to tap on the particular application and a small window opens up on the upper part of the home screen. Whenever you make a change to the wallpaper photograph, the Samsung Z automatically changes the color of the menu environment to suit the color.
Design and Size
The Samsung Z looks sleek and stylish. It also has an IR port, so that you can use it like a remote control for your television. The dimensions are 5.44x 2.75x 0/33 inches. It is small and thick and weighs 4.8 ounces. The phone has a resolution of 1280 x 720p, Super AMOLED display.
Hardware and Performance
It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Processor, clocked at 2.3 GHz and combined with a RAM of 2GB. The storage is 16GB, but the microSD card enables additional storage up to 64 GB. The rear camera comes with a resolution of 8 MP, with Flash and beneath it is the heart rate sensor feature. It also has a front camera of 2.1 MP. The Samsung Z comes with a battery of 2600 mAh and features an ultra power saving mode, offering 12 days of battery life.
On the whole, the Samsung Z is a great effort at offering a new operating system and eschewing the Android OS. Most of the features that you find in the Galaxy S5 running the Android OS, are also found in the Samsung Z. This is one clever way of transitioning users from the Android system to the Tizen system, by offering them something similar.

Bon Jovi in Indianapolis, reviewed
By Lucinda Ludwig on March 24, 2017
(Indianapolis, March 22, 2017) Live Nation continues with their take no prisoners onslaught of concerts that should forever shake the city of it's "Naptown" nickname. Here, over 26,000 were on the floor and filling three tiers of seats to see Bon Jovi, at his first tour since 2013. A couple of members of John Mellencamp's band were in the fenced in soundboard. Nine blocks down the street, Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Zack Wylde and a couple more of the greatest blues guitarists in the country were playing a Jimi Hendrix tribute, and concert season hasn't yet started.
Shiny Penny opens the show
Promoter Live Nation and Bon Jovi's management chose local band Shiny Penny from thousands who applied for the contest to open his shows on this tour, by entering on Bon Jovi's website (bonjovi.com). The band has been running similar contests for other communities on its "This House Is Not For Sale Tour."
Prior to the show, lead singer Dean Schimmelpfennig told Fox 59, "We don't know what it's going to be like yet. At this point we're just imagining what it'll be like," The Kokomo, Indiana based band is quite literally experiencing the "big stage" for the first time, but you could tell that while it may have been the biggest night so far of their young lives, they handled it quite well.
For the band, the Bon Jovi concert is the culmination of eight years of hard work. "We've been in other contests before and haven't had a lot of luck. Going into it we were like it's just another contest," guitarist Brad DiCarlo said. To see some photos from that show, go HERE:

Bon Jovi takes the stage
While Jon Bon Jovi is now, at almost 55, still a great looking frontman, he runs the ramp to greet fans behind the stage. He's still an engaging leader, bouncing on the balls of his feet, doing his open-palm arm flutters and grinning and flashing thumbs-up signs to well-wishers in the front rows.
The New Jersey rockers, who brought their "This House is Not for Sale" tour to Bankers Life Fieldhouse to a sellout crowd, played some hits, but interspersed between classic songs and new material was a surprising amount of introspection from lead singer Jon Bon Jovi.
The 2½-hour concert, played to a jam-packed house, opened with the title cut from "This House is Not for Sale," with the band performing behind a sheer curtain adorned with a photo of the house from the album cover.
This marks Bon Jovi's first time on the road since 2013, when longtime guitarist Richie Sambora left the band in mid-tour. Losing the decades-long musical partnership was apparently devastating for the singer.
Replacing Sambora on lead guitar is Phil X, who's wildly talented and has great stage presence. Despite having some big shoes to fill. X adds new colors to familiar riffs, and he and Jon Bon Jovi play well off of each other. There certainly remains great chemistry between Bon Jovi and his other longtime bandmates, keyboardist David Bryan and drummer Tico Torres.
There were about six new songs, but the hits still made an appearance, and an even greater impression. During "Lay Your Hands on Me," Jon Bon Jovi swiveled his hips, played air-keyboards and strutted around the stage like a youthful Mick Jagger. In fact, for "We got it going on", he did the entire song, singing and moving like Jagger.
Bon Jovi does it all: He sings, he dances, he jokes, grins and he tells stories.
About halfway through the show, things turned serious as Jon Bon Jovi clasped the microphone with both hands and talked to the sold-out crowd for a bit – about how "the last few years were tough" and the band was at a crossroads. He explained the meaning behind "This House is Not for Sale," shared his struggles with songwriting and Bon Jovi's 2015 record label dispute and reiterated the importance of the arts.
It's great when an artist talks about a song — how it came about, or what even influenced the tune. On Wednesday, Bon Jovi talked a lot about a few of his songs. He spoke of "It's my Life." The line "For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down," is a reference to their 1986 hit "Livin' On A Prayer," which featured Tommy and Gina as young people trying to get by in tough times. He said that the great part of a song was that people listen and they can identify with something and make the song their own. Any one of us could have been Tommy, or Gina.
He talked about having to fight with Richie (Sambora) over the line "Like Frankie Said, I did it my way" is a reference to Frank Sinatra, who sang "My Way." Sinatra was from New Jersey, just like Bon Jovi. Richie had trouble making the connection, but Bon Jovi said once he explained it, "that was an easy fight."
In a heartfelt moment talking about the struggles and stress, he told the crowd that there had been reports of the problems taking their toll, and they had, but he was doing alright now.
It seemed the show started out slow, but gained momentum about seven songs in. Jon connected firmly with the audience during his halftime talk and it was a high energy journey after that.
The three-song encore included "Wanted: Dead or Alive" and concluded with a version of "Livin' on a Prayer" that began with Jon Bon Jovi on an acoustic guitar and finished with an arena of voices singing the chorus.

Funfetti Pancakes are the ultimate birthday breakfast to make for a friend or loved one! They're just like birthday cake but in soft and fluffy pancake form. Finish them off with this sweet vanilla glaze and no one can resist!
I could say I made these pancakes for my kids but I totally made them for myself too.
I've long wanted to make funfetti pancakes and New Years Day is the perfect excuse (though I had to make them earlier in order to share them with you, but there's no complaints around here on that one).
And now I can't wait for my husband and kids to make these for me on my birthday :). Or any other holiday.
That is the great thing about these though, they are perfectly customizable with the different blends of multi-color sprinkles you can buy these days.
I actually wanted to share them before Christmas with red and green sprinkles but didn't get to sharing them soon enough.
I made these a few times trying to get the right amount of flavor. At first I made them with just the milk and no lemon juice and I found them to be too bland, even with the vanilla and almond extracts.
So the second time around I added just the hint of lemon juice and it really works wonders without being overbearing at all – which will leave you tasting those classic, delicious funfetti flavors (which comes from the vanilla and almond extracts).
The Glaze is a Must!
Cover a stack of fluffy, sprinkle filled, funfetti flavored pancakes with a rich and creamy vanilla glaze, top them with a dollop of whipped cream and MORE sprinkles and you know they'll brighten anyones day! They are a holiday or birthday breakfast dream come true.
Funfetti Pancakes are the ultimate birthday breakfast to make for a friend or loved one! Plus they're customizable for other holidays too, just use different sprinkles. They're just like birthday cake but in soft and fluffy pancake form. Finish them off with this sweet vanilla glaze and no one can resist!
For the pancakes: Preheat a non-stick electric griddle to about 375 degrees.
In a liquid measuring cup, measure out milk then add lemon juice and whisk together, let rest 3 minutes.
Meanwhile in a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, make a well in center of flour mixture.
In a separate large mixing bowl whisk eggs together until blended then pour in milk mixture, almond extract and vanilla extract and whisk mixture until well blended. Mix in melted butter.
Pour milk mixture into well in flour mixture and whisk to combine slightly, then add sprinkles and whisk until batter is blended but still slightly lumpy (don't over-mix or pancakes won't be fluffy).
If needed spritz griddle with non-stick cooking spray (if it has a good non-stick coating you may not need it), then pour batter out into rounds about 1/4 cup at a time onto griddle.
Cook until golden brown on bottom then flip and cook on opposite side until golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla glaze, whipped cream and more sprinkles.
For the glaze: In a mixing bowl whisk together powdered sugar, half and half, butter and vanilla until well blended.
Add in more half and half just a little at a time to thin if needed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
Paige: These pancakes are giving me life right now!

The Never-Weres
Tier Mobility and Spin lay off 100 more employees
Rebecca Bellan
Around a year ago, Tier Mobility was winning the shared micromobility game. Fueled by its $200 million Series D fundraise in October 2021, the company went on to acquire three other micromobility operators and a computer vision startup, giving it access to e-bikes — a reach that extended beyond Europe and into the U.S. — and the tech needed to assuage politicians' fears over safety.
Today, Tier is in the midst of another round of layoffs. As a result of previous restructurings, Tier is laying off around 80 workers, some of whom are under the Nextbike umbrella, to make up for redundancies. Tier had purchased the German bike-share startup in November 2021 to expand its vehicle offerings beyond e-scooters.
Tier said the layoffs announced Wednesday will affect 7% of its overall staff headcount. While some teams will be more affected than others, the restructuring affects employees across the organization.
The most recent staff cuts follow Tier's decision to let 180 employees go back in August, blaming a poor funding environment and uncertain economic conditions.
The micromobility operator is also reducing the size of its Spin workforce by about 20 employees. Tier originally bought Spin from Ford in March 2022, a move that gave the company widespread access to the U.S. Seven months later, Tier then laid off almost 80 Spin workers and exited Seattle and Canada. The company went on to let go of an additional 30 Spin employees in December when it decided to leave another 10 U.S. cities.
A Tier spokesperson told TechCrunch the company tried to rematch workers from redundant roles with any open roles at Tier and Nextbike to retain as many people as possible.
'All-out growth mode' to 'profitability first'
How did Tier go from being the largest micromobility player in the world to now announcing layoffs every few months? Sure, the macroeconomic climate has affected most tech companies, and Tier is hardly the only micromobility operator to announce staff cuts (lookin' at you, Bird.) It seems that Tier, like most other tech companies facing hard decisions, was expanding for a pace of economic growth that's simply not being realized in pre-recession 2023.
Tier CEO and co-founder Lawrence Leuschner said today's round of layoffs is part of a pivot in the company's overall strategy, "from all-out growth mode to a 'profitability first' mindset."
The restructuring will include the closure of "a small number of cities where we do not see a path to profitability" due to factors like unfavorable regulatory approaches, said the company. Tier did not say which cities it would exit, but the operator's future in Paris currently hangs in the balance as the city votes whether or not to renew the permits of Tier, Lime and Dott. However, the city's strict regulations might just make it unprofitable for Tier to be in Paris at this point.
Tier is also shutting down a number of side projects, like its own vehicle design program and the Tier Energy Network, the company's plan to place charging stations in retail stores to incentivize riders to swap scooter batteries for rewards. On the other hand, the company will be winding up its monthly scooter subscription service, MyTier.
"Downsizing is challenging for any business and particularly difficult for a company like Spin, which has already made fundamental changes to the business to ensure its long-term future," said Philip Reinckens, CEO at Spin. "We are confident that the measures to increase revenue while reducing costs via further integration with our parent company will accelerate the company's path to profitability."

AmEx shrugs off slowdown worries after forecasting upbeat full-year profit
(Reuters) -American Express Co's upbeat profit forecast for the year on Friday eased worries of economic uncertainty denting consumer spending and sent its shares up 10% in early trading. While decades-high inflation pressures household budgets and roils the economy, AmEx's affluent customer base has insulated it from much of the pain felt by companies in other sectors. Chief Financial Officer Jeff Campbell said on a call with analysts that although the U.S. economy shrank in the first two quarters of 2022, the credit card company still managed to grow revenue by 25% for the year.

Boston Children's Main Site
Collaboration for Community Health
Healthy children.
Strong families.
Thriving communities.
Boston Children's Community Mission
Boston Children's Hospital was one of the first academic medical centers in the country to expand the traditional missions of patient care, teaching, and research to embrace a fourth mission — community. For more than two decades, Boston Children's has focused resources and dedicated a team (now called the Office of Community Health) to ensure that community is more than words in our mission statement. These efforts have evolved from targeted services that reached smaller numbers of children and families to innovative models that have been proven to improve health outcomes and address health disparities.
Children's Health Equity (CHEq) Initiative
Find out more about the implementation grants awarded to four cross-sector collaboratives.
Boston Children's community efforts are focused on offering programs and partnering with others that offer support and services that benefit children and families in Boston, specifically those which are the most affected by the social determinants of health (issues that impact someone's overall health such as the consequences of poverty, living in unstable or unsuitable housing, being unemployed or underemployed, and being exposed to violence). While these initiatives primarily benefit Boston area families, Boston Children's is proud that these programs have informed other efforts, policies and changes in care that improve the lives of children and families across Massachusetts and the US.
Understanding community health needs
Mental and behavioral health, obesity and asthma are top health concerns that Boston Children's consistently hears about directly from families, community organizations and other providers. Families also struggle in getting access to healthy food and identifying free, low-cost physical activities, finding and maintaining stable and affordable housing, and express wanting to feel safe in their neighborhoods. To better understand these health and social issues and identify the best ways for Boston Children's to address them, the hospital completes an assessment of child and community concerns every three years. The findings inform our plans for how to best use hospital resources, leverage partnerships and implement successful approaches which are detailed in our Strategic Implementation Plan.
The Office of Community Health oversees this community mission and coordinates community health efforts and the hospital's partnerships with community organizations and health centers.

The Curator's Favourite Shoes
Vindolanda is well known for its Roman organic material, from writing tablets to leather tents. If it was lost here in the Roman period then there is a good chance we will find it.
One of the most prevalent types of objects to come from the site are leather boots and shoes. We have some 5,000 of them in many different shapes and sizes. They tell us a lot about the people who lived here nearly 2,000 years ago.
As curator and conservator here at Vindolanda, it is my job to take the muddy lumps of leather that come from the wet or anaerobic levels of the site and turn them into museum display objects or make them part of a reserve collection to be researched by our specialists. It can be hard work. As an example we had over 400 shoes that came out of the 2016 Severan ditch and each one of these takes time for cleaning and chemical conservation. And despite my sometimes lack of enthusiasm when the archaeologist let me know that they have found more shoes, I still find every single one fascinating and each one has a story to tell. Here are my top 5 favourite shoes from the collection.
5. Lady's shoe sole
From its daintier size it is easily surmised that it belonged to one of our female residents here at Vindolanda. What strikes my fancy here is the lovely delicate pattern on the studs. The iron studs on any Roman shoe are there as a way of holding the numerous layers of leather which make up the sole together and these definitely do this. Also, it is imperative to have them in the proper place on the sole to help support the foot when walking which of course this pattern would also have this function. But what I love about this shoe is that the studs are small and delicate, and the pattern is beautiful. Imagine if you will, a dirt track, maybe muddy, then she would have left her shoe print as she walked around. We have other shoes with a similar pattern but this one is best preserved.
4. Man's marching boot
Vindolanda was home to somewhere between 500 to 1,000 Roman soldiers at any given time of occupation. That is a lot of Roman marching boots. These utilitarian boots would have been very useful here. Vindolanda is known to be a rather wet site as is most of northern Britain and keeping your feet dry and warm would have been a priority. These boots would have been ideal for this purpose. Every time I conserve a new one, I think of modern army boots and how important good footwear is to those going on the march.
3. Baby boot
Who could not love this little gem? I got into archaeology to find out about real people not those who had history written about them but people like me, maybe even my ancestors. I think children's objects always help us to understand the progress of life in the past and this little object does just that. It is a mini representation of a larger adult shoe with an intricate fishnet upper. This shoe is so small that it would be doubtful that the owner would have been doing much walking in it. It was found in the praetorium of Flavius Cerialis and Sulpicia Lepidina and it is possible that it belonged to one of their children.
2. Lady's slipper
This lady's slipper was also found in the Cerialis' house and is sometime affectionally called Lepidina's slipper. It is the equivalent of a flip flop in design but a very expensive one at that. It was made in Gaul (modern France) by Lucius Aebutius Thales, we know this because he stamped the shoe with a maker's mark. The shoe is further stamped with vine leaves and two cornucopiea interlocked across an ear of corn. Whether it was Lepindia's or not it was definitely owned by a women who had money to spend on nice shoes. A simple breakage of the toe thong and she has thrown it away. Many other shoes from the site show evidence of repair but this one was discarded.
1. Pair of children's shoes
These two little treasures were part of the hoard of over 400 shoes excavated in 2016. One would probably think that we have lots of pairs of shoes however, we only have a few. But this pair was easier to identify as they were small and have a less usual construction style as they do not have a seam that stitches them up over the toe and they were also found close together. They are the size of a modern children's size 11 in the UK, so around the age of 5-6 years old. These little shoes went on display here at Vindolanda in 2017 in our recent finds case. When they were removed to make way for new finds from 2018, this little pair started on a new adventure traveling around the empire as part of our museum loans programme. The have been on display in Arles, France and Florence, Italy and will shortly be returning home to Vindolanda. Why are they my favourite? Its hard to say. Sometimes with objects you just love them. Looking at them, cleaning them, thinking of who might have owned them. What did they do while wearing them? For me, the adventures of the small person who wore them are endless. I think that is why they are my favourite. Thinking of a young life, possibly born here at Vindolanda, growing Growing up here and then what did they do? It is an object that shows potential and opportunity and I find that very exciting.

Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 2:21 pm on 28th February 2019.
I am disappointed by the approach the hon. Gentleman is taking. On the one hand, he, like many other Members in the House, will point to individual companies that are fearful of a no-deal Brexit, or farming unions and other organisations that have said they are fearful of or do not want to face a no-deal Brexit. On the other hand, however, such Members are not prepared to take the advice of those companies or farming unions that are urging them to support the Prime Minister's deal. On that basis, they are being highly selective. The best way to secure a smooth exit from the European Union and to act on the instruction of the referendum is to support the Prime Minister's deal. When that debate comes, I hope that Members will look at themselves and think long and hard about the risks they are taking with the Welsh economy and the UK economy if they vote against the Prime Minister's deal, which offers us a smooth exit from the European Union and access to the European market, while confirming our position as an independent trading nation.
I wish to highlight my positive relationship with the Welsh Government, our negotiations on Brexit, and the legislative consent motion that we secured for the withdrawal Bill. The Welsh Government sit on the Cabinet sub-committee that considers preparations for Brexit, which is positive, and I hope that they will extend similar respect and opportunity for UK Government representatives to sit on their committees, because of the importance of leaving the EU in a conjoined way.
I point to the UK industrial strategy and the city deals. It was a privilege to launch the Cardiff capital region city deal plan this morning, and we are working closely with the Welsh Government on the Swansea city deal. North Wales has been mentioned on several occasions, and I am open to considering additional or different projects as a result of recent economic announcements about pausing work on the nuclear power station on Anglesey, rather than scrapping or suspending it as has been suggested. There is also the mid-Wales growth deal.
Finally, for a demonstration of joint working with the Welsh Government and local authorities across Wales, in a couple of weeks, together with local authority representatives, I will launch the first ever catalogue of Welsh projects at the MIPIM conference, to attract international investment because of the new opportunities that Brexit will bring.


New York, 1929: A frenzy of interest in antiquity is sweeping the nation! With museums hungry for mysterious and exotic artifacts—and you hungry for adventure—you start up your own archeology company. Untold wonders await within dangerous jungles, harsh deserts, and wind-swept mountains. Will you gain a reputation as the most intrepid and famous adventurer of all time?
In Artifacts, Inc. from Ryan Laukat and Red Raven Games, 2-4 players contend to build the most famous archeology company. Players roll dice, which represent their troop of adventurers, and place them on cards in order to discover artifacts, sell them to museums, and buy new cards representing their company assets. Players can choose to focus on making lots of money by selling artifacts, having museum majorities, creating the best combination of expeditions and buildings, or searching beneath the waves for lost cities and concealed fortunes. The first player to reach 20 reputation triggers the end of the game, and the player with the most total reputation wins!

Jan. 29, 2009 -- Diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, according to a new report.
The study, which focused on the health of 13,693 Swedish twins, found that people who are diagnosed with diabetes before age 65 have more than double the chance of developing Alzheimer's disease. The link was not as strong for people diagnosed with diabetes late in life.
Weili Xu, PhD of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, and colleagues write that their findings offer one more reason for people "to maintain a healthy lifestyle during adulthood in order to reduce the risk of dementia late in life."
Nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association.
Participants in the study were all part of the Swedish Twin Registry and were at least 65 when the study began in 1998. The study lasted until 2001. The study looked at the twins as a group and also made comparisons within twin sets.
Of all the participants, 467 were diagnosed with dementia, including 292 with Alzheimer's. There were 1,396 participants with diabetes.
By focusing on twins, researchers removed many genetic differences, as well as differences in poverty level, at least during childhood.
"Twins provide naturally matched pairs, in which confounding factors such as genetics and childhood environment may be removed when comparisons are made between twins," co-author Margaret Gatz, PhD, professor of psychology, gerontology, and preventive medicine at the University of Southern California and foreign adjunct professor of medical epidemiology and biostatistics at the Karolinska Institutet, says in a news release.

Q: pytables and pandas string padding question I've created a dataset using hdf5cpp library with a fixed size string (requirement). However when loading with pytables or pandas the strings are always represented like:
b'test\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff
The string value of 'test' with the padding after it. Does anyone know a way to suppress or not show this padding data? I really just want 'test' shown. I realise this may be correct behaviour.
My hdf5cpp setup for strings:
strType = H5Tcopy(H5T_C_S1);
status = H5Tset_size(strType, 36);
H5Tset_strpad(strType, H5T_STR_NULLTERM);

A: I can't help with your C Code. It is possible to work with padded strings in Pytables. I can read data written by a C application that creates a struct array of mixed types, including padded strings. (Note: there was an issue related to copying a NumPy struct array with padding. It was fixed in 3.5.0. Read this  for details: PyTables GitHub Pull 720.)
Here is an example that shows proper string handling with a file created by PyTables. Maybe it will help you investigate your problem. Checking the dataset's properties would be a good start.
import tables as tb
import numpy as np

arr = np.empty((10), 'S10')
arr[0]='test'
arr[1]='one'
arr[2]='two'
arr[3]='three'

with tb.File('SO_63184571.h5','w') as h5f:
    ds = h5f.create_array('/', 'testdata', obj=arr)
    print (ds.atom)

    for i in range(4):
        print (ds[i])
        print (ds[i].decode('utf-8'))

Example below added to demonstrate compound dataset with int and fixed string. This is called a Table in PyTables (Arrays always contain homogeneous values). This can be done a number of ways. I show the 2 methods I prefer:

*

*Create a record array and reference with the description= or
obj= parameter. This is useful when already have all of your data AND it will fit in memory.

*Create a record array dtype and reference with the description=
parameter. Then add the data with the .append() method. This is
useful when all of your data will NOT fit in memory, OR you need to add data to an existing table.

Code below:
recarr_dtype = np.dtype(
                { 'names':   ['ints', 'strs' ],
                  'formats': [int, 'S10'] } )
a = np.arange(5)
b = np.array(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'])
recarr = np.rec.fromarrays((a, b), dtype=recarr_dtype)

with tb.File('SO_63184571.h5','w') as h5f:
    ds1 = h5f.create_table('/', 'compound_data1', description=recarr)

    for i in range(5):
        print (ds1[i]['ints'], ds1[i]['strs'].decode('utf-8'))

    ds2 = h5f.create_table('/', 'compound_data2', description=recarr_dtype)
    ds2.append(recarr)

    for i in range(5):
        print (ds2[i]['ints'], ds2[i]['strs'].decode('utf-8'))

How do you find the z-score to the left?
Area shaded to the left of a z-score (z is greater than the mean).
Step 1: Split your given decimal into two after the tenths decimal place. For example, if you're given 0.46, split that into 0.4 + 0.06.
Step 2: Look up your decimals from Step 1 in the z-table.
Step 3: Add 0.500 to the z-value you just found in step 2.
What is the area under the curve to the left of Z?
The total possible value that can be under the curve is 1.00. This means that if the whole population fell under the curve, the area would be a value of 1.00. The area to the left of the z score represents the total area under the curve that is left to the z score.
What is the area to the left of Z 0?
The area to the right of Z=0 is (2) the same as the area to the left of Z = 0. This is because Z = 0 is the point of symmetry in a standard normal curve.
What is on standard normal table?
The standard normal distribution table is a compilation of areas from the standard normal distribution, more commonly known as a bell curve, which provides the area of the region located under the bell curve and to the left of a given z-score to represent probabilities of occurrence in a given population.
How do you find the area to the left of Z in Excel?
Excel solution "Find the area under the normal curve to the left of ." =NORMSDIST(z-score) gives you the area to the left of that z-score. "Find the area under the normal curve to the right of ." To get area to the RIGHT of a certain z-score, tell Excel to subtract 1 minus the area to the left of that z-score.
What is on Z table?
A z-table, also called the standard normal table, is a mathematical table that allows us to know the percentage of values below (to the left) a z-score in a standard normal distribution (SND). When the mean of the z-score is calculated it is always 0, and the standard deviation (variance) is always in increments of 1.
What is the area of the normal curve to the left of the mean?
The normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution that is symmetrical on both sides of the mean, so the right side of the center is a mirror image of the left side. The area under the normal distribution curve represents probability and the total area under the curve sums to one.

Ио́сиф «Хосе́» Ллойд Холе́бас (, ; родился 27 июня 1984 в Ашаффенбурге) — греческий футболист, левый защитник.

Карьера

Клубная
Отец — грек, мать — немецко-уругвайского происхождения. Уроженец немецкого Ашаффенбурга, Холебас обучался футболу в школах любительских клубов Германии. В 2002 году был принят в академию «Мюнхена 1860», выступал в основном и резервном составах команды не только на позиции левого защитника, но и даже на позиции нападающего. В основном составе провёл 31 матч, забив 4 гола в рамках чемпионата 2-й Бундеслиги и три гола в Кубке Германии.

Эвальд Линен, наставник Холебаса, перешёл вместе со своим подопечным в греческий «Олимпиакос» в 2010 году после разрыва контракта с «Мюнхеном 1860»: за Холебаса греки заплатили полмиллиона евро плюс 200 тысяч евро аванса. Игрок подписал контракт с клубом на три года, обязуясь получать ежегодно не менее 200 тысяч евро с надбавкой в размере 20 %. Дебют пришёлся в матче против албанской «Бесы» в Лиге Европы УЕФА (победа 5:0). Первый гол забил в Суперлиге Греции в матче против АЕК из Афин (победа 6:0). Принёс своей игрой победу грекам в Суперлиге.

В сборной
Получив гражданство Греции в 2010 году, Холебас стал кандидатом в сборную этой страны по футболу. Тренер Фернанду Сантуш вызвал игрока на матчи с Россией и Румынией, и Хосе дебютировал 11 ноября 2011 года в матче с Россией (1:1).

Семья
Отец — грек (уроженец Трикалы), мать — уругвайка.

Достижения
Олимпиакос (Пирей)
 Чемпион Греции: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014
 Обладатель Кубка Греции: 2012, 2013

Q: Patch not applied after it gets merged Using the git flow tool, I created a feature branch (branched off dev), made a bunch of changes, and merged the branch back onto dev.
There is a file which I have modified in the feature branch. I can confirm that the revision (let's call it REV-A) that modifies the file (FILE-A) is present and applied in the feature branch.
However, after the merge, FILE-A is in its original (pre-merge) state on the dev branch. I can see REV-A when I do git log on dev, and if I follow the lines produced by git log --graph, I can trace this commit forward to the merge commit where I merged my feature branch with dev.
However, when I do a git blame of FILE-A, the commit is not there, and the line in question is in its original (pre REV-A commit).
Additionally, git show REV-A | patch -p1 results in the patch being applied cleanly. After that, git diff looks the same as git show REV-A.
What's going on? How is it that a merge introduces a revision into the branch history, but doesn't actually apply it? Are there any other changes from that merge which aren't being applied???

A: If some change hunks appear to be missing from a merge result, the first and in my experience the only question you need to ask is whether git diff shows them as changes between the merge base and the branch tip. Ask it:
git diff $merge^1...$merge^2 -- FILE-A  # `$merge^2` was `feature` as of the merge
                                         # `$merge^1` was `dev`

That three-dot syntax above is specific to diff, everybody at least sometimes wants to see what change hunks merge is seeing for a branch.
If the changes don't appear in the output then those REV_A changes were reverted in some commit between REV_A and the merge, whether by a previous merge (to either branch), in which case you get to ask the same question again about that merge, or directly, by some equivalent of git revert.
If the changes do appear in the output then, since patch applies the hunks cleanly, the changes were manually reverted in that merge.

A: Do you still have the commands you ran? This would be helpful in tracking down where things may have gone awry. I can't help but think that somehow the feature was not 'finished' correctly. Can you confirm you typed git flow feature finish my_feature?
I have simulated a feature with the commands below, but have not encountered the issue you describe. If your steps deviate from what I have below it would be great to compare how, and where.
MBP:git-test acanby (master)$ echo "Original Code" > file.txt
MBP:git-test acanby (master)$ git commit -am "First commit"
MBP:git-test acanby (master)$ git flow init
MBP:git-test acanby (develop)$ git flow feature start my_feature
MBP:git-test acanby (feature/my_feature)$ echo "New feature here" >> file.txt
MBP:git-test acanby (feature/my_feature)$ git commit -am "Feature change"
MBP:git-test acanby (feature/my_feature)$ git flow feature finish my_feature
MBP:git-test acanby (develop)$ git blame file.txt
  ^d96c279 (acanby 2015-02-16 20:36:22 +1100 1) Original Code
  62a38725 (acanby 2015-02-16 20:38:37 +1100 2) New feature here
MBP:git-test acanby (develop)$ git log --oneline
  62a3872 Feature change
  d96c279 First commit

Using these commands I was able to complete a feature using the git-flow workflow.
If you're after more info about the git-flow workflow (and specifically the commands and what they do), there is a great cheat sheet available here.
