About these stories
God picked Abram
1This story about Abram started when God said to him, "Abram, I want you to leave your country, your father's family and all your relatives, and go to the country that I will show you.#Acts 7:2-4; Hebrews 11:8 2And I will give you a big family, and they will become a great nation, and I will do good things for you and your family, and I will make your mob strong. Then everyone will know about you and your family, and everyone will respect you. And you and your family will do good things for other people. 3If anyone does good things for you and your family, I will do good things for them. But, if anyone does bad things to you, and if they make trouble for you and your family, I will curse them and make trouble for them. I will use your family to do good things for all the families in the world."#Galatians 3:8
Abram and his family went to Canaan country
4-5Abram was 75 years old when he left the town called Haran and went to the country called Canaan. That was the country that God told him to go to. He took his wife Sarai, and his nephew Lot with him. He also took all the things and all the workers that they got in Haran, and they all went to the new country called Canaan. 6Abram and everyone with him walked through that new country, and they went to a town called Shekem, and they camped there, near a big tree at a place called Moreh. The people that lived in that country were called the Canaan mob, and they didn't know God. 7God showed himself to Abram there, and he said to him, "I will give this country to your son, and to all the people that will be born into his family later on." So Abram piled up stones to make a table with a flat top. It was a special place for him to burn an animal to show right respect to God.#Acts 7:5; Galatians 3:16
8Later on, Abram and his mob left Shekem, and they went south to the hill country that was on the east side of a town called Bethel, and they camped between Bethel and another town called Ayi. Bethel was to the west of his camp and Ayi was to the east. Then Abram piled up stones there to make another special table, and he burned animals on it to show respect to God. He prayed to God, and he called God by his special name Yahweh.
9After that, Abram and his mob kept going south to the dry desert country.
Abram and his family went to Egypt
10At that time, there wasn't much food in that country. Everyone was short of food, so Abram and everyone with him went south to live in another country, called Egypt. 11Just before they got to Egypt, Abram said to his wife, Sarai, "You are a really beautiful woman. 12I reckon the men in Egypt will see you, and they will say, 'That beautiful woman is Abram's wife. Let's kill Abram, so that we can have her for ourselves.' Then they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13So listen. You have to tell everyone that you are my sister. Then they will be good to me, and they will not kill me."#Genesis 20:2; 26:7
14And that's what happened. They got to Egypt, and the people there looked at Sarai, and they saw that she was really beautiful. 15Some of them worked for the big boss of Egypt, and they told him, "Sarai is really beautiful." So that big boss took her to live in his house. 16That boss was very good to Abram, because he thought that Abram was Sarai's brother. He gave Abram sheep, and goats, and cows, and bulls, and donkeys, and camels, as well as men and women that had to work for Abram.
17God was not happy, because Sarai was living with the big boss of Egypt, so God made him really sick, and God made everyone that lived in his house really sick too. 18-19Then that big boss found out that Sarai was already Abram's wife, and he got really wild. He sent somebody to get Abram, and he said to Abram, "You did a really bad thing to me. You tricked me. You didn't tell me that Sarai is your wife. You said, 'She is my sister,' and you let me marry her. Now, here is your wife. Take her back, and then get out of my country." 20Then the big boss told his soldiers, "Get Abram, and Sarai, and everything they own, and all their workers, and send them out of Egypt. Send them away, and do it right now." So his soldiers did that. They sent Abram and his mob away from Egypt.

Abram Journeys to Egypt
1Now the Lord said to Abram,
"Go from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father's house,
To the land which I will show you;
2And I will make you into a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing;
3And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who #Or revilescurses you I will #Or bind under a cursecurse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."
4So Abram went away as the Lord had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5Abram took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot, and all their possessions which they had accumulated, and the #Lit soulspeople which they had acquired in Haran, and they #Lit went forth to go toset out for the land of Canaan; so they came to the land of Canaan. 6Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, to the #Or terebinthoak of Moreh. Now the Canaanites were in the land at that time. 7And the Lord appeared to Abram and said, "To your #Lit seeddescendants I will give this land." So he built an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him. 8Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. 9Then Abram journeyed on, continuing toward the #I.e., South countryNegev.
10Now there was a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a time, because the famine was severe in the land. 11It came about, when he #Lit came near to enterwas approaching Egypt, that he said to his wife Sarai, "See now, I know that you are a #Lit woman of beautiful appearancebeautiful woman; 12and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife'; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13Please say that you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you, and that #Lit my soulI may live on account of you." 14Now it came about, when Abram entered Egypt, that the Egyptians #Lit saw the woman that she wassaw that the woman was very beautiful. 15Pharaoh's officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 16Therefore he treated Abram well for her sake; and #Lit there was to himhe gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife. 18Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 19Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her for myself as a wife? Now then, #Or beholdhere is your wife, take her and go!" 20And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they #Lit sentescorted him away, with his wife and all that belonged to him.

Somalia - Proposal for a grant of USD 1,000,000 as humanitarian emergency assistance to cyclone and flood victims
From March to May 2018, Somalia has been impacted by two natural disasters: a tropical cyclone "Sagar" in the North and devastating floods in the South causing 62 deaths1 and forcing hundreds of people out of their homes. After two decades of civil war, and four decades of droughts, the humanitarian crisis in Somalia is severe. 5.4 million people (almost half of the total population) are in a humanitarian crisis and 2.7 million are in an emergency state/food crisis (IPC3+)2 . Recent floods have inundated crops and cultivable lands putting an estimated 1 million people in need of emergency food assistance. Lack of access to safe drinking water and destruction of key infrastructure has increased the difficulty of local authorities and development partners to contain the cholera outbreak. Since the outset of these natural disasters, there has been a marked increase in Cholera. A cumulative total of 4,300 cases including 28 deaths have been reported since December 20173 . A global effort has been ongoing since 2015 to avert famine and alleviate suffering. However, funding trends for the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) in 2018 are lower than 2017 and the country is in dire need of funding to respond to the crisis.

As such, if you've looked at this website (even just to read these blog posts), and live in Vancouver, BC, we would like to invite you to take part in a 2-hour focus group. The focus groups will be held around the Lower Mainland and are being conducted by Dr. Jenna Shapka (site author) and her graduate students. Also, we will pay you $50 for your time, and there will be yummy food! If you are interested, please contact Takara.bond@alumni.ubc.ca.
Focus groups will take place in March and April of 2019, further information, including the time and location will be provided by email.
Netflix has become a great way to catch all the latest shows, especially for teens who are watching them on smaller and smaller screens, or alone in their bedrooms. Parents are generally less aware of what their kids are watching, so co-viewing shows is a recommended way to make sure you are comfortable with the media your child is consuming. It's also a good way to have a common ground for discussing sensitive topics. Below we have provided a list of TV shows and movies that are available on Netflix and are about kids and technology. We have divided them by age groups and included a synopsis of the show and the major themes. We have also provided questions that could be potential conversation starters for you with your child. Note that the age guidelines are somewhat arbitrary. You know your child best, including what they are ready for.
Themes: pressure to have a perfect image on social media; social justice and inequities; seamlessness between online and face-to-face worlds.
Conversation Starters: Do you think there is a difference in how you portray yourself online vs real life? Should there be (e.g., does it matter if they are the same)?
Synopsis: This is a follow up discussion of 13 Reasons Why with the cast, producers, and mental health professionals.
Conversation Starters: Do you think a similar scenario could ever play out at your school? Why or why not? What would you have done to help Hannah? What would you do if you ever felt the way Hannah did?
Synopsis: This is an intense movie that is based on a true story of sexual assault and suicide.
Themes: sexual assault, suicide, misogyny and exploitation of women.
Synopsis: This is a TV series that is teen drama and mystery. There are seven seasons, and the ongoing story themes involve aspects of technology and social media.
Conversation Starters: Who would you talk to if you were the girls? How do you think things would have turned out differently if they had talked to somebody at the beginning? What would you do if somebody had something incriminating about you?
Synopsis: This is a 'found footage' movie that explores the events surrounding a high school student's attempted suicide after being cyberbullied.
Conversation Starters: Shows like this often inadvertently glorify suicide because they often focus on the attention and impact of the suicide. Did this movie glorify suicide? Does this movie seem realistic to you? What would you do if you had a friend who was suicidal and where would you go to get (Parents: take this opportunity to remind your teenager to seek the support of a trusted adult in these situations).
Synopsis: This is a movie that chronicles the transformation of a high school student when she is exposed to the life style of a social media star.
Conversation Starters: What do you think your life would be like if you were instafamous. Would you change to become popular, or if you did become popular?
In the movie, why was it okay for the sister to film but not Alexa? Do you agree with this? If you were Danny what would you have done differently.
Synopsis: This is a Canadian teen drama television series. Many of the episodes deal with social media or device use.
Conversation Starters (for Season 1, Episode 8, which is about being trolled online): How would you respond to a troll? Who would you go to for help? Would you intervene if you saw somebody being trolled online?
Conversation Starters (for Season 2, Episode 4, which is about online dating): What are your thoughts on online dating? How would you feel about meeting up with someone you met online?

The Darvas Box: A Timeless Classic

Reviewed by Somer Anderson
Somer G. Anderson is CPA, doctor of accounting, and an accounting and finance professor who has been working in the accounting and finance industries for more than 20 years. Her expertise covers a wide range of accounting, corporate finance, taxes, lending, and personal finance areas.
Fact checked by Kirsten Rohrs Schmitt
In the late 1950s, Nicolas Darvas was one half of the highest paid dance team in show business. He was in the middle of a world tour, dancing before sold-out crowds. At the very same time, he was on his way to becoming a now forgotten Wall Street legend, buying and selling stocks in his spare time using only Barron's weekly newspaper for research and sending telegrams to communicate with his broker. However, Darvas turned a $36,000 investment into more than $2.25 million in a three-year period. Many traders argue that Darvas' methods still work, and modern investors should study his 1960 book, How I Made $2 Million in the Stock Market. Read on as we cover the Darvas Box trading method.
Darvas Who?
The path Nicolas Darvas took to stock market riches was unusual. He fled his native Hungary ahead of the Nazis. Eventually, he reunited with his sister and they began dancing professionally in Europe after WWII. When he wasn't performing, he spent countless hours studying the stock market. He gained an understanding of the fact that stocks are risky and taking profits is the key to riches.
Darvas began his trading career in the speculative Canadian stock markets and his first purchase led to a profit of more than 200%. His initial success was short-lived, and the rough and tumble Canadian markets soon took back his profits, and then some. Several years later, he turned to the New York Stock Exchange and brought a trading mentality to the market.
Trading Philosophy
Trading was not easy at that time. Stock investing in the 1950s required a full-service broker. Buying high-quality, dividend-paying stocks was the most common investment philosophy. Commissions were high, and investors favored dividend income over capital gains. Darvas brought his unique techno-fundamental theory of investing to this market, with no consideration of dividends and clearly defined stop-loss points.
To identify trading candidates, Darvas applied a distinctive fundamental filter. He looked for industries he expected to do well over the next 20 years. In the 1950s, electronics, missiles and rocket technology fascinated the American public. Companies in these industries would benefit from revolutionary new products that would lead to exponential earnings growth.
In thinking this way, Darvas had learned from his study of stock market history that he could profit greatly if he could anticipate the next big thing. He notes in his book that in the late 1800s, railroad companies ruled Wall Street; a generation later it was automobile companies that represented an emerging technology. Investors were always on the hunt for the something new and exciting. To find stocks with the greatest potential, his research indicated that you needed to find the industries with the greatest potential.
From a developed industry list, Darvas would create a watch list of several stocks from each industry. Because of the commission structure of the day, he focused on higher-priced stocks. With fixed commissions, the cost of trading, on a per-share basis, declined rapidly as the price of the stock increased. While this was of no concern to the buy-and-hold investor, Darvas realized that a significant part of his trading profits would be lost to commissions if he was not careful. Modern day investors can look at stock price as a filter indicating that the company has some stability—very low-priced stocks often stay low for fundamental reasons in today's markets.
Armed with his list of trading candidates, Darvas watched for a sign that the stock was ready to move. The only indicator he used was volume, watching for heavy volume among his short list of trading candidates. When he spotted unusual volume, he would contact his broker and request daily quotes.
He was looking for stocks trading within a narrow price range, which he defined using a set of precise rules. The upper limit was the highest price a stock reached in the current advance that was not penetrated for at least three consecutive days. The lower limit was a new three-day low that held for at least three consecutive days.
After spotting the range, he would cable his broker with a buy order just above the top of the trading range and a stop-loss order just below the bottom of the range. Once in a position, he trailed his stop based on the action in the stock. In his experience, boxes often "piled up," which meant that they formed new box patterns as a stock climbed higher. Each time a new box formation was completed, Darvas raised his stop to a fraction below the new bottom of the new trading range.
Turning a Profit in Lorillard
In trading, a picture is worth a thousand words, and we can look at an example from Darvas' book to gain a clearer understanding of his method. In late 1957, Darvas was performing in Saigon, Vietnam (present-day Ho Chi Minh City), and noticed a volume spike in Lorillard Tobacco Co. (since absorbed into British American Tobacco plc). He began following the stock closely by asking his broker to begin providing daily quotes.
A. He identified Lorillard's industry and learned that it was selling a lot of Kent and Old Gold cigarettes. While not a technology stock, cigarettes were a growth industry at this time, before the U.S. Surgeon General warning appeared on every pack.
B. He bought 200 shares of Lorillard at 27½, as it broke above the box.
C. Unfortunately, his stop at 26 was hit a few days later when the stock price went back into the box.
D. Seeing continued strength reaffirmed his conviction that the stock was going higher, and Darvas repurchased 200 shares at 28¾.
E. Confident in his selection, Darvas bought another 400 shares at 35 and 36½.
F. Continued strength after the drop in February 1958 led to another purchase of 400 shares at 38.
G. To raise money to purchase another stock, Darvas closed his entire position at 57, for a profit of more than 60% in about six months. By comparison, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained about 7.5% over that same time frame.
The simple Darvas method used to profit from Lorillard can also work in the current markets. But now the internet has replaced the telegraph, and it also provides real-time quotes, eliminating the need to wait for Barron's to be delivered on Saturday morning. Spotting high volume breakouts is relatively simple to do, and profits like Darvas made are possible if traders apply his disciplined approach.
Much of Nicholas Darvas' success stems from his confidence in his trading strategy. He became proficient at managing risk and taking his profit off the table before the position had the chance to reverse.

Not every trade works out great for both teams. These are some trades that were great for one of the teams, but a total bust for the other.
The Milwaukee Bucks drafted the German prospect, but had already made a deal with the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks had already made it clear that they wanted Nowitzki, but they also wanted to have Steve Nash, the reserve point guard of the Suns. So they made a deal with the Suns and the Bucks, so they would receive both players. The Bucks got Robert Traylor in this trade, but he didn't end up to be very successful or making any impact in the NBA, and left the league after seven years.
In 1992, the Phoenix Suns and Philadelphia 76ers decided to make a deal for Charles Barkley, who had a couple of great season with the 76ers. In return, they received Jeff Hornacek, Andrew Lang and Tim Perry. Barkley went on to be voted MVP, and continued to make it into the All-Star team all his years with the Suns, while Lang and Perry ended up on the bench, and the 76ers goal to make Hornacek a point guard failed.
Harden started his career with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2009, where he made a great impression, and he even won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2012. But, after he couldn't agree on a contract extension with the Thunder, they decided to trade him to the Rockets. The deal sent Harden along with Daequan Cook, Cole Aldrich and Lazar Hayward to Houston, while OKC received Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, two first round picks, and a second round pick. Now, Harden is a six-time All-Star, while the played OKC received aren't really successful.

Q: Kubernetes Master incorrectly reports "kubelet does not have ClusterDNS IP configured" I have installed a kubernetes cluster manually according to this guide: https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/centos/centos_manual_config/
I have installed the kubedns and kubernetes-dashboard addons, but when trying to spin up a heapster deployment, the dashboard warns me that "kubelet does not have ClusterDNS IP configured". However, I believe this to be incorrect.
In the kubelet config of my node I have specified:
KUBELET_ARGS="--cluster-domain=cluster.local --cluster-dns=10.250.100.53"

The IP being the flannel IP of my kubeDNS service.
I believe this is working, since when I let a pod do an nslookup without specifying the server, it works.
[root@myKubeMaster]# kubectl exec busybox -- nslookup kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local
Server:    10.250.100.53
Address 1: 10.250.100.53 kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cluster.local

Name:      kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local
Address 1: 10.250.100.1 kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local

Where does this error come from?

A: Seems like there could be an error in how the arguments get passed to the kubelet, could you try splitting out the arguments?(https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/27722#issuecomment-227893612)

The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Games have become a staple in our house. The box has a simple dexterity game and what basically amounts to a simplified Slap Jack but our toddler has not only enjoyed the games but played them by the rules.
The Snacky Squirrel Game just involves moving rubber acorns around plastic tree stumps using squirrel-shaped forceps and following the instructions of a spinner. The only interaction in the game comes from getting to steal from other players.
Frankly, other than giving the toddler some hand eye coordination practice, the best thing that I can say about it is that it is really cute. It's no Don't Spill the Beans, let alone Animal Upon Animal. But the doodle has fun with it.
I'm more pleased with the Sneaky Squirrel Game, which is basically a very simplified Slap Jack. Yes, I really just wrote that. You set out separate stacks of acorn cards, organized by color. Then you goal cards, showing specific colors or any color or the option of stealing someone else's card. Whoever slaps the appropriate stack gets a card and a point.
It is still a really simple game but I think it does a good job introducing pattern recognition and reaction time as game mechanics. It isn't a challenging game but it gives our toddler the experience and tools to play more challenging games in the future.
While there are some kids games that are interesting and even challenging for adults as well, I can't say that for either of these games. I have a feeling that he will be bored with them in a couple years at the longest. But for now, they are good for him.


In the summer of 2007, French actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg had a waterskiing accident in Miami. Weeks later, back home in Paris, she started having terrible headaches.
At her sister's urging, Gainsbourg, 38, who makes a stop on her brief U.S. tour at the Theatre of the Living Arts tonight, went to get an MRI, or in French, an IRM, for imagerie par résonance magnétique.
The surgery was successful. And over subsequent months, Gainsbourg – who played Heath-Ledger-as-Bob-Dylan's wife in Todd Haynes' I'm Not There and won the best-actress prize at last year's Cannes Film Festival for her role in Lars von Trier's controversial horror film Antichrist – kept getting more MRIs to make sure the crisis had passed.
« It was the only way of reassuring myself that I wasn't going to die, » Gainsbourg said. « There's something very chaotic about those sounds and being in that box. The whole thing is very strange and violent.
Gainsbourg, who worked with Beck producer Nigel Godrich as well as Jarvis Cocker and the French duo Air on her previous album, 2007's 5:55, suggested to Beck that he use her experiences inside a long metal tube as songwriting inspiration.
But a sense of unsettled and imaginatively arranged urgency runs throughout the album, which comes off like a feminine electro-folk mirror image of Beck's Godrich-produced albums Mutations and Sea Change.
Gainsbourg came up with titles for IRM's songs, « and I was trying to write lyrics, but I couldn't, » she says. « Then Beck would start from scratch and be done in, like, 10 minutes.

Engie Energy Investment Trends Energy Security Green Bonds Renewables Transition India
IEEFA: Renewable energy investment in India bounces back from COVID-19 slowdown
19 August 2021 (IEEFA India): Renewable energy investment is rising again in India following the slowdown in the previous financial year due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, finds a new briefing note by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).
In the first four months of this financial year (FY), from April to July 2021, investment in the Indian renewable energy sector reached US$6.6 billion, surpassing the US$6.4 billion level for FY2020/21 and on track to easily overtake the US$8.4 billion total achieved in 2019/20 prior to the pandemic.
Between April and July 2021, investment in Indian renewables reached US$6.6 billion
"Rebounding energy demand and a surge of commitments from banks and financial institutions to exit fossil fuel financing are helping to drive investment into Indian renewable energy infrastructure," says author Vibhuti Garg, Energy Economist, Lead India at IEEFA.
The new IEEFA note explores renewable energy investment trends during FY2020/21 and for the first four months of FY2021/22, and also highlights the key deals made during both periods.
The majority of the money flowed through acquisitions which helps to recycle the capital into new projects.
The largest of around 30 deals during FY2020/21 and April to July FY2021/22 was SoftBank's exit from the Indian renewable energy sector in May 2021 with a US$3.5 billion sale of assets to Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL). With this acquisition AGEL became a major investor as well as the world's largest solar developer.
Other major deals included Engie's acquisition by Edelweiss Infrastructure Yield Plus for US$550 million, Acme's acquisition by Scatec Solar for US$400 million, and Fortum's acquisition by Actis for US$333 million.
Analysis of the different deal types reveals the majority of the other big deals were packaged as debt, equity investment, green bonds, and mezzanine funding.
Indian renewable energy developers are attracting huge investments from green bonds
Indian renewable energy developers are attracting huge investments from green bonds, says co-author Saurabh Trivedi, Research Analyst at IEEFA.
"In April 2021, ReNew Power raised money from green bonds with a tenor of 7.25 years at a fixed interest rate of 4.5% per annum, and this was soon trumped in August 2021 by the US$414 million 2026 green bond issue by Azure Power Global at a record low 3.575% per year."
In the latest development, a mega US$8 billion special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) transaction between ReNew Power and RMG Acquisition Corporation II has approval from a majority of shareholders, paving the way for a Nasdaq listing with expected trading from 24 August 2021.
"This is a landmark transaction as it represents the biggest overseas listing of an Indian company via the SPAC route," says Trivedi.
IEEFA's note also points to several very positive developments: investment in India is clearly shifting towards renewables; the government is redoubling efforts to boost energy security and self-reliance by expanding clean energy technologies as demonstrated by Prime Minister Modi's Independence Day speech; and Indian corporates like Reliance and JSW Energy are making big clean energy commitments.
In addition, the lending portfolios of Indian financial institutions like State Bank of India (SBI) and Power Finance Corporation (PFC) now include more renewable energy assets than fossil fuels, a trend which has picked up significantly in the last one to two years, according to the note.
The flow of capital will need to accelerate rapidly to meet India's clean energy targets
In a February 2021 report, IEEFA highlighted that India will require a further US$500 billion in investment in new wind and solar infrastructure, energy storage and grid expansion and modernisation to reach 450 gigawatts (GW) of capacity by 2030.
"The decarbonisation of the energy sector will demand massive amounts of investment, and the flow of capital into this space will need to accelerate rapidly in order to meet India's clean energy targets and enable a green recovery towards a sustainable economy," says Garg.
India is currently investing around US$18-20 billion in energy generation capacity and a further US$20 billion in the grid on an annual basis. To achieve the Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS) in the International Energy Agency's India Energy Outlook 2021 the country would need to triple its current rate of annual investment to US$110bn.
"This is daunting in one respect," says Garg. "But the financial trends in Indian renewable energy and grid infrastructure over the last two to three years strongly suggest domestic and global capital can support this ambition."

You See Me: Forgiveness Is Relative
Posted on September 20, 2016 by Don Schwartz
You See Me is a documentary film about the filmmaker's family. Veteran documentarian Linda J. Brown tells her family's story. She is searching for meaning, understanding, and resolution in the lifelong dynamics of this family. Her father, Stanley, is the central character, the central mystery.
Brown uses interview, narration, and a treasure trove of family movies to tell her painful yet touching story. The inciting incident for the film's production was Stanley's debilitating stroke at age 79.
Brown wanted to understand why her father seemed disconnected at times? Why was he abusive at times? What happened to him? Did he love his wife, Brown's mother? The film answers these questions, and along the way we learn about each of the five family members.
When viewing a well-made documentary about a particular family it is inevitable that viewers find themselves reflecting on their family experience. You See Me is no exception. Brown has done an admiral job of digging, investigating, and exploring her family's history to find her own resolution—and inspiring us viewers to reflect on our family experiences.

« Language nerd
Holiday Xposting »
Adverb and Adverbial
While I was preparing a posting on xkcd's "Language Nerd" strip — I think very slowly and write even more slowly — my Language Log colleagues Geoff Pullum and Mark Liberman zipped into gear on the way language nerd is used in the strip in the expression (1), an instance of the construction in (2):
(1) to go all language nerd on you
(2) to go (all) X (on s.o.)
In my posting I referred, rather too hastily, to
the construction in go (all) X (on s.o.), where X is a nominal — here, a N + N compound (language nerd, sentence fragment) — converted to an adverbial in construction with the verb go
The problem is my use of converted, suggesting that language nerd (also sentence fragment) is converted from one syntactic category (or "part of speech") to another, as in other examples in the strip, which involve true conversion, specifically the verbing of nouns. But what's going on in (1) (and more generally in (2)) is not conversion, but the use of expressions of one syntactic category (here, a N-headed expression) in a syntactic function characteristic of a different category: in this case, not conversion of N to Adverb, but use of N in the syntactic function Adverbial, specifically the Adverbial subtype Modifier-of-V.
Consider a parallel: the syntactic category and syntactic function of the first element in expressions like language nerd and sentence fragment. Some writers maintain (presumably on the basis of the semantics) that the category is Adjective, but there is no evidence that the category is anything other than Noun. The syntactic function, on the other hand, is Adjectival, specifically the Adjectival subtype Modifier-of-N.
Now look at the syntactic category and syntactic function of words like fishing in go fishing (as in Let's go fishing this afternoon). The category is clearly Verb; indeed, fishing here is the PRP form of the Verb fish. But Clare Silva argued (in "Adverbial –ing", Linguistic Inquiry 6.346-50 (1975)) that its syntactic function is Adverbial (specifically, Modifier-of-V, in my terms above). Just so in the construction in (2).
But with (2) there's a question about the syntactic category of X in the construction, and that's the focus of the Language Log discussion. First up was Geoff Pullum, in "Adverbing, verbing, and adjectiving" of 11/5:
perhaps it would have been safer for a real language nerd to say (I just) predicative-complemented 'language nerd'. But for the most part what you get in the go all ____ on you is adjective-headed phrases, so (I just) adjectived 'language nerd' is arguably accurate.
I note that Predicative-Complement is a syntactic function, not a syntactic category, but that's not the immediate point at issue here (although, I'll argue, it's important), which is the syntactic category of X. Geoff claims that it's Adjective, but Mark Liberman (in "… go all ___ on you …" of 11/6) disputed that:
While I hardly ever disagree with Geoff, my intuition said otherwise in this case, so I checked.
Searching Google for "go all * on you", the first 50 results I got earlier this morning included 41 nouns or noun phrases
But Mark also pulled up 7 adjectives or adjective phrases. And you can invent examples of (2) with PP as X, like
I don't mean to go all off my head on you, but …
What do N(P), Adj(P), and PP have in common? They can all serve in the syntactic function Predicative-Complement: I'm a nut case, He's a bit crazy, She's off her head. So it looks to me like Geoff had it essentially right, but veered into syntactic categories when he should have stuck with syntactic functions.
[Added 11/8: a note on the semantics of the construction in (2). The verb go there is understood as an inchoative, roughly like become in He went crazy or get in Let's get friendly. So it's no surprise that X in (2) is functioning as a Predicative-Complement.]

John Baker Says:
So do you come out that the syntactic category of "language nerd" is noun, adjective, or adverb?
language nerd's syntactic category is certainly Noun — like N + N compounds in general.

Q: Lazy, breadth-first traversal of a Rose Tree? I'm trying to refactor a component that currently produces a Seq[X] using a fairly expensive recursive algorithm so that it produces a Stream[X] instead, so X's can be loaded/calculated on-demand, and the producer doesn't have to try to guess beforehand how much digging it'll have to do to satisfy the consumer.
From what I've read, this is an ideal use for an "unfold", so that's the route I've been trying to take.
Here's my unfold function, derived from David Pollak's example, which has been vetted by a certain Mr. Morris:
def unfold[T,R](init: T)(f: T => Option[(R,T)]): Stream[R] = f(init) match {
  case None => Stream[R]()
  case Some((r,v)) => r #:: unfold(v)(f)
}

And here's a little tree to try our luck with:
case class Node[A](data: A, children: List[Node[A]]) {
  override def toString = "Node(" + data + ", children=(" +
                                children.map(_.data).mkString(",") +
                                "))"
}

val tree = Node("root", List(
  Node("/a", List(
    Node("/a/1", Nil),
    Node("/a/2", Nil)
  )),
  Node("/b", List(
    Node("/b/1", List(
      Node("/b/1/x", Nil),
      Node("/b/1/y", Nil)
    )),
    Node("/b/2", List(
      Node("/b/2/x", Nil),
      Node("/b/2/y", Nil),
      Node("/b/2/z", Nil)
    ))
  ))
))

And finally, here's my failed attempt at a breadth-first traversal that uses unfold:
  val initial = List(tree)
  val traversed = ScalaUtils.unfold(initial) {
    case node :: Nil =>
      Some((node, node.children))
    case node :: nodes =>
      Some((node, nodes))
    case x =>
      None
  }
  assertEquals(12, traversed.size) // Fails, 8 elements found

/*
traversed foreach println =>

Node(root, children=(/a,/b))
Node(/a, children=(/a/1,/a/2))
Node(/b, children=(/b/1,/b/2))
Node(/b/1, children=(/b/1/x,/b/1/y))
Node(/b/2, children=(/b/2/x,/b/2/y,/b/2/z))
Node(/b/2/x, children=())
Node(/b/2/y, children=())
Node(/b/2/z, children=())
*/

Can anyone give me some hints as to how to fix (or rewrite) my traversal logic so that all the nodes are returned?  Thanks!

A: You just forgot to include the inner nodes' children during the traversal of the tree:
val traversed = unfold(initial) {
  case node :: Nil =>
    Some((node, node.children))
  case node :: nodes =>
    // breadth-first
    Some((node, nodes ::: node.children))
    // or depth-first: Some((node, node.children ::: nodes))
  case x =>
    None
}

A: Here is a complete version of Moritz' answer, with a corrected partial function (the last case never matched anything in the original problem):
case class CNode[A](data: A, children: List[CNode[A]]=Nil) {
  override def toString: String = if (children.isEmpty) s"node($data)" else
    s"node($data, children=(${ children.map(_.data).mkString(",") }))"
}

object Main extends App {
  def unfold[T, R](init: T)(f: T => Option[(R, T)]): Stream[R] = f(init) match {
    case None => Stream[R]()

    case Some((r, v)) => r #:: unfold(v)(f)
  }

  val tree = List(
              CNode("root", List(
                        CNode("/a", List(
                          CNode("/a/1", Nil),
                          CNode("/a/2", Nil)
                        )),
                        CNode("/b", List(
                          CNode("/b/1", List(
                            CNode("/b/1/x", Nil),

A dark star is a type of star that may have existed early in the universe before conventional stars were able to form. The stars would be composed mostly of normal matter, like modern stars, but a high concentration of neutralino dark matter within them would generate heat via annihilation reactions between the dark-matter particles. This heat would prevent such stars from collapsing into the relatively compact sizes of modern stars and therefore prevent nuclear fusion among the normal matter atoms from being initiated. .............. read more Wikipedia article Dark star (dark matter).


Heinz Karl Fanslau (1909 - 1987) was senior Waffen-SS officer. He was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment at one of the Nuremberg trials.
Did Six Million Really Die? states that "There is no more eloquent testimony to the tragedy and tyranny of Nuremberg than the pathetic astonishment or outraged disbelief of the accused persons themselves at the grotesque charges made against them. Such is reflected in the affidavit of S.S. Major-General Heinz Fanslau, who visited most of the German concentration camps during the last years of the war. Although a front line soldier of the Waffen S.S., Fanslau had taken a great interest in concentration camp conditions, and he was selected as a prime target by the Allies for the charge of conspiracy to annihilate the Jews. It was argued, on the basis of his many contacts, that he must have been fully involved. When it was first rumoured that he would be tried and convicted, hundreds of affidavits were produced on his behalf by camp inmates he had visited. When he read the full scope of the indictment against the concentration camp personnel in supplementary Nuremberg Trial No. 4 on May 6th, 1947, Fanslau declared in disbelief: "This cannot be possible, because I, too, would have had to know something about it.""

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Stillwater native Ben Blankenship and Emily Lipari of Brighton, Mass. won the professional races at the 12th running of the Medtronic TC 1 Mile Thursday evening.
Blankenship, 28, a 2016 Olympian who finished 9th in the Rio 1500 meter final, earned a runaway repeat win in 4:01.0, despite slowing down to celebrate his second straight Medtronic TC 1 Mile title in the finishing stretch. Last year, Blankenship set the event record at 3:55.8.
Daniel Herrera of Portland, Ore. finished runner-up in 4:06.2, followed by Chad Noelle of Greenville, S.C. in third at 4:06.4. Former event record holder Nick Willis, the two-time Olympic 1500m medalist from New Zealand, finished 10th in 4:11.6.
In the women's race at the finish line, Lipari, 24, edged Sara Vaughn of Boulder, Colo. to earn victory in her first Medtronic TC 1 Mile appearance. Lipari clocked 4:34.8; Vaughn finished in 4:34.9. Becca Addison of Ann Arbor, Mich. took third in 4:40.2.
More than 2,000 runners participated in the event which raced around Gold Medal Park and finished under the Guthrie Theater's Endless Bridge in downtown Minneapolis.
Blankenship and Lipari won $5000 each for their wins. The race was also the second stop on the Bring Back the Mile Grand Prix Tour 2017, featuring more than $110,000 in total prize money and a $10,000 grand prize purse. The next Tour 2017 stop is at the GNC Live Well Liberty Mile in Pittsburgh on Friday, July 28.


You should trust your dad when he tells you he has the perfect guy in mind. Just ask Houston bride, Talia, whose dad set her up with Barry. "He took me to an Ethiopian restaurant, brought me flowers, opened doors… a total gentleman," says Talia. Unfortunately she wasn't ready to date him just yet. "Years later I couldn't stop thinking about him. We reached out to each other on a few occasions, but were never able to meet. Finally, we were able to get together for a cup of coffee, and the rest was history," adds Talia.
Ten years after their first date, Barry took Talia to the same Ethiopian restaurant where they first met. "After dinner he convinced me to go to the museum to check out a friend's art show," recounts Talia. He arranged for a friend to take photos at the Light Tunnel in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. "Once we arrived at the Light Tunnel, I realized no one else was there, and he was on one knee!" adds Talia.
Their wedding was exactly how they pictured it—unique, hints of art deco, and simply elegant. "Balushka, owner of Balushka Paper Floral Artistry, and I always talked about how she would decorate my wedding one day, and when the time came, she did a phenomenal job. She came up with the most gorgeous panels of handmade paper flowers in shades of blush, plum, ivory and gold for our backdrop," says Talia.
We couldn't be happier for these two. Congrats and best wishes to the newlyweds! We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did.
Brittany's vision of a Moroccan-inspired wedding came to life at The Bell Tower on 34th. The rich color palette of fuchsia, purple, green and hints of orange incorporated in the flowers and décor added the perfect amount of sultry flair. Brittany and Ian wined and dined with 250 of their nearest and dearest with a lavish menu included lamb pops, crab cakes, prime rib and late night snacks. The candlelight dinner, live belly dancing performances and a camel photo op were just a few highlights of the night. Of course, it was only appropriate that Nadine Moon of Who Made The Cake! created a decadent 5-foot tall Moroccan plush pillow cake for the splendid occasion. Sounds like an affair to remember, right? Just wait 'til you see the photos. Congrats and best wishes to the newlyweds!

Starburst galaxies exhibit in their central regions a highly increased rate of supernovae, the remnants of which are thought to accelerate energetic cosmic rays up to energies of ~1015 electron volts. We report the detection of gamma rays---tracers of such cosmic rays---from the starburst galaxy NGC 253 using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The gamma-ray flux above 220 billion electron volts is F = (5.5 ± 1.0stat ± 2.8sys) × 10-13 cm-2 s-1, implying a cosmic-ray density about three orders of magnitude larger than that in the center of the Milky Way. The fraction of cosmic-ray energy channeled into gamma rays in this starburst environment is five times as large as that in our Galaxy.

Customer experience is now a primary business differentiator and this 'soft' discipline is defined by something traditionally worlds away from the service department - IT. Eric Wright explains why IT is leading the charge to win and retain customers.
Customer service and IT: two business departments often categorised by stereotypes. To understand why IT has become so central to customer experience, it's useful to breakdown these stereotypes.
Customer service is being friendly and helpful. It's about empathy and communication. It's the 'face' of the business.
Technical, digital, process and stats driven. Faceless, unemotional, impersonal.
We all recognise truths and exaggerations in these stereotypes. However, what if we turn these preconceptions on their head?
Heavily process and stats driven because of the requirement to minimise costs. Stressed, underpaid and transient workers deliver a cold, impersonal service.
The first point of customer contact - IT is now regularly the 'face' of the business. Being helpful is now based on the quality of communication channels and interface customers use to get support.
IT and customer service have previously been seen as mutually exclusive disciplines. Yet as this exercise demonstrates, not only to they overlap considerably, one cannot exist without the other.
When did this happen and why?
Our collective understanding of customer service and IT have changed significantly in recent years. IT was once seen as predominately a labour saving device. Now it is central to all business operations. This shift didn't happen overnight - it takes time for attitudes to change.
The same is true for customer service. We often incorrectly define customer service as fixing problems reported by a customer. However, when a customer contacts a supplier because something has gone wrong, this isn't customer service. It's a customer service failure.
Good customer service means things happen as described at the time and price advertised. Good customer service means the customer doesn't have to contact the supplier.
The majority of our customer interactions take place independent of a person or the customer service department. And for this reason, IT now defines the customer experience more frequently and profoundly than the customer service department.
In other words, customer service isn't the touchy-feely interaction, it's the experience of the customer at each point they have dealings with an organisation.
This revised definition is why the term 'customer experience' has become more popular. The term 'customer service' has such an entrenched and incorrect meaning - call centres, the service department dealing with customers in isolation - that it needed to be replaced with something more accurate and sufficiently different to help change perceptions.
By taking sole responsibility for managing customers away from the 'Department', it becomes clear that there are myriad 'touchpoints' which affect how customers feel about the organisation. And naturally, these touchpoints are typically now digital.
Take the classic example of Amazon. The retail giant has very satisfied customers. But trying to contact Amazon is very difficult. This is because Amazon's systems are designed so that customers don't have to go to the trouble of fixing them. The systems are so effective and user-friendly that customers rarely encounter a problem.
In other words, while offering almost nothing which resembles "customer service", Amazon is able to deliver a great customer experience. Think about that for a second. Amazon's customer experience isn't delivered by people answering phones or email. It's provided by IT.
While offering almost nothing which resembles "customer service", Amazon is able to deliver a great customer experience. Amazon's customer experience isn't delivered by people answering phones or email. It's provided by IT.
Of course, behind the scenes, people are building the IT which defines the customer experience. The big difference is that whereas previously employers sought empathy, people skills and communications to improve their customer experience, now they need people who understand systems, customer journeys and user interfaces. It's a great opportunity for IT professionals to solidify their value and the starting point is realising that when it comes to defining the customer experience, IT now holds the winning hand.
Do you want to improve your customer experience? Creating an effective customer service portal is a great starting point, take a look at our drag and drop customer workflow technology to see how.


In weekend summitry in Peru, Vice President Mike Pence indicated there was a real possibility that the United States could strike a deal on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) "within the next several weeks." Similarly, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, at the same meeting in Peru, suggested the third week of May was a possible date for concluding the negotiations.
So how realistic are the chances that these contentious talks with Canada and Mexico actually come together? It's not hard to see why the administration might be eager to strike a quick bargain. First, this is the only full-fledged set of trade negotiations they have going, so it serves as a "proof of concept" for the President's unorthodox approach to trade. Second, trade deals have to go through the U.S. Congress; while the current Congress has Republican majorities in each house, it is not obvious that the next one will. Yet, only a few weeks ago, the U.S. Trade Representative was pushing for an "agreement in principle" to be announced at last weekend's summit, and even that more modest goal proved elusive.
There is an element of trade negotiation timing that is very hard to predict – how long it will take for each side's stances to converge. Then there is another element that is very easy to predict – the timetable that is laid out in law. Let's give the administration the benefit of the doubt on the former and see what the latter implies, noting potential pitfalls along the way.
Suppose Secretary Ross is right in his optimism and the three NAFTA countries agree on all substantive points at the beginning of the third week of May. To be specific, let's assume May 15. That would not be the signing date. Under Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), the administration must first give Congress 90 days' notice of its intent to sign. Sixty days before signing, on June 14, the countries would have to release the legal text of the agreement. The signing ceremony itself could then take place on August 13.
Pitfall #1: Although all sides have been expressing optimism about the progress of talks, there seem to be significant gaps remaining. This hypothetical timeline assumes that all such gaps are closed quickly. Any delays would make matters worse.
Pitfall #2: Mexico holds its election on July 1. Mexican negotiators argued last summer that it would be problematic to continue negotiations past the start of this year. Although they have pushed past that deadline, a NAFTA conclusion that immediately precedes the election, followed by a signing in the lame duck period by the outgoing president could prove controversial.
Pitfall #3: The 90-day notice applies if the agreement does not do anything to practices governing antidumping and countervailing duty measures (known as "trade remedies"). If trade remedies are affected, TPA requires 180 days notice.
Pitfall #4: The signing would take place within two months of the U.S. midterm elections. The experience of 2016 with the failed push for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) seemed to show the dangers of taking up a trade deal in the midst of a campaign.
After the August 13 signing, TPA allows 105 days for the U.S. International Trade Commission to analyze what effect the new NAFTA deal will have on the United States. That would take until November 26. In theory, the USITC could move faster, but it declined to do so when pressed by the Obama administration on the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Then, the administration could issue the required "statement of administrative action" (SAA) which must precede the actual implementing legislation by at least 30 days. Could the administration cut corners by submitting the SAA earlier? Perhaps, but some of what the administration must provide is a description of "how the agreement serves the interests of United States commerce." That is supposed to be what the USITC is analyzing, so it would be odd to proceed without that analysis.
This timeline, in which all goes well, would then result in the Trump administration presenting Congress with NAFTA implementing legislation on December 26.
As a bill that affects tariffs (and therefore revenue), the implementing legislation is supposed to be considered first in the House, which is then allowed 60 legislative days to work on it. Here we encounter a major problem, since the House calendar for 2018 calls for adjournment on December 13. The Senate is supposed to have 30 legislative days to consider the bill, but its calendar calls for adjournment on December 14.
In theory, Congress could stay in session and rush the implementing legislation through at year's end. But that assumes that the negotiated agreement is popular with a majority of each house. In practice, legislators have been sharply critical of the Trump administration's negotiating stances. There could also be serious pushback from both members of Congress and the public to the idea of an outgoing Congress spending the week between Christmas and New Year's Day rushing through a trade deal with virtually no hearings or debate.
Even if the NAFTA talks concluded this week, there would be nothing like the time for congressional deliberation envisaged in the TPA legislation. Despite the public optimism about the talks, the practical deadline for concluding negotiations and passing a new NAFTA under this Congress seems already to have come and gone.
