Aboriginal Sovereignty and Foreign Law
by Geoff Cadogan-Cowper
Arguments relating to Aboriginal Sovereignty could well benefit from integration with the notion that Australia is operating in a legal vacuum: that it is an independent country which has never established its own legal fount, relying and depending upon foreign law.1
If this is so, then it could follow that the present law of Australia is, in fact, Aboriginal law: English Colonial imposition having been extinguished by choice on the British side and necessarily by independence on the other, with no new fount of law established.
Then reconciliation becomes a matter of every 'Australian' taking part in the creation of our Constitution.
1. Briefly and non-expertly, the assertion that Australia is a legal vacuum arises from the following:
1. The Constitution is an Act of the UK Government;
2. Since Australia became an independent & sovereign nation (Versailles 1920 or earlier), British law is law of a foreign country;
3. One cannot apply the laws of a foreign country to the citizens of a sovereign state.[Hitler did it in Poland for example]
4. At independence, the citizens/occupants of Australia should have been given for approval or consulted by referendum (not a Referendum under the Constitution — Statute of Westminster) to ascertain their chosen rule of law. (Note that this consultation would have included aboriginal occupants of Australia).
5. No such consultation was carried out (it would have broken down existing power structures probably — at least made life very difficult for the 'masters' of society at the time), and what has been described as a massive confidence trick was carried out on Austrtalians whereby everything continued as before. But the law being applied is foreign law or derived from foreign law and this is improper (indeed an act of war)under international law.As some American legal experts have noted, if an independent and sovereign country does not automatically sever from the law of its colonisers (and cannot), then the USA should still be operating under UK law and as a colony of England. Else the USA is in a legal vacuum!
6. Further, the various letters patent etc. of the UK which give authority under their law have been withdrawn. The UK has accepted and stated for many years that Australia is a sovereign and independent nation and beyond its legal right or reach.
7. How can an Australian judge or politician citizen of a sovereign nation (ie Australia) act to enforce the law of a foreign country? Especially when that foreign country says that it no longer has any legal reach. The word traitor would have been used in the past.
8. It follows that the Courts have no authority, our Parliaments have no authority and nothing we do has any basis in law at all.
9. These arguments — and they are accepted by very senior members of the legal fraternity — lead to the conclusion that the dereliction of successive community leaders (read Prime Ministers and Attorneys-General) has left Australia with no valid law. A very serious matter and one which is certainly known to Government.Why have they not acted to put the matter on a proper footing before now?
10. The further and new argument, however, is that in this legal vacuum we slip automatically back into any law that was valid for Australia. This, I've suggested, leaves Koori law as the only present valid law of Australia — under the principles of international law.
Note that this makes the present Republican debate of Aust. an absolute nonsense. We are a Republic — there is no choice or question. The only way that can not be so is if Australians by simple majority, agree to place themselves under British law and become a colony of Britain (and Britain agrees to this).
I am not a lawyer, and there is much more detail to insert in the above arguments, but I have written this treatise in some haste as a stream of consciousness. But the thread of logic is not a matter of legal opinion — rather it is historical fact. I'm personally convinced.
Note that the consequences of this mess cannot even be argued under our current legal regime since the challenge is that we don't have one. For me, then, the ONLY way to proceed is a full Constitutional development procedure to be set in train now. And the issues of reconciliation would fall to the public domain — not the arena of politics.

Humans and animals have the ability to perform very precise movements to obtain rewards. For instance, it is no problem at all to pick up a mug of coffee from your desk while you are working. Unfortunately, it is unknown how exactly the non-linear mapping between sensory inputs (e.g. your mug on the retina) and the correct motor actions (e.g. a set of joint angles) are learned by the brain. Here we show how a biologically plausible learning scheme can learn to perform non-linear transformations from sensory inputs to continuous actions based on reinforcement learning.
To arrive at our novel scheme, we built on the idea of attention-gated reinforcement learning (AGREL) , a biologically plausible learning scheme that explains how networks of neurons can learn to perform non-linear transformations from sensory inputs to discrete actions (e.g. pressing a button) based on reinforcement learning . We recently showed that the AGREL learning scheme can be generalized to perform multiple simultaneous discrete actions , and we now show how this scheme can be further generalized to continuous action spaces. The key idea is that motor areas have feedback connections to earlier processing layers which inform the network about the selected action. Synaptic plasticity is constrained to those synapses that were involved in the decision, and it follows a simple Hebbian rule which is gated by a globally available neuromodulatory signal that codes reward prediction errors. In our novel scheme motor units are situated in a population coding layer that encodes the outcome of the decision process as a bump of activations . This contrasts to our earlier work where single motor units code for actions [1, 3]. We show that the synaptic updates perform stochastic gradient descent on the prediction error that results from the combined action-value prediction of all the motor units that encoded the decision. Unlike other reinforcement learning based approaches, e.g. , our reinforcement learning rule is powerful enough to learn tasks that require non-linear transformations. The distribution of population centers in the motor layer can also be automatically adapted to task demands, yielding more representational power when actions need to be precise.
We show that the novel scheme can learn to perform non-linear transformations from sensory inputs to motor outputs in a variety of direct reward tasks. The model can explain how visuomotor coordinate transforms might be learned by reinforcement learning instead of semi-supervised learning as used in . It might also explain how humans learn to weigh the accuracy of their movement against the potential rewards and punishments for making inaccurate movements as in the visually guided movement task described in .

Q: requirejs module containing modules I have a library which internally uses AMD modules (requirejs). I want to return some methods from those modules as a public API. At the moment i'm using a sychronous require call to do this.
eg:
// library
define("a", function(){
    define("b", ['somedep','anotherdep'], function(dep, dep2){
        return { something: "x"};
    });

    return {
        b: require('b').something
    };
});

// then to use it.
require(['a'], function(a){
});

However this gives the error.
Error: Module name "b" has not been loaded yet for context: _. Use require([])
I don't want to expose the internal define calls externally (by flattening out all the defines) since i don't want library consumers to be able to use those internal modules.

A: You can't nest your module definitions. Try this instead:
define("b", ['somedep','anotherdep'], function(dep, dep2){
    return { something: "x"};
});

define("a", ['b'], function(b){
    return {
        b: b.something
    };
});

// then to use it.
require(['a'], function(a){
});

A: // Defined module "b"
define("b", ['somedep','anotherdep'], function(dep, dep2){
    return { something: "x"};
});

// Defined module "a"
define("a", ["b"], function(b){

    return {
        b: b.something
    };
});

// then to use it.
require(['a'], function(a){
});

You can do something like this

A:
I don't want to expose the internal define calls externally (by flattening out all the defines) since i don't want library consumers to be able to use those internal modules.

I don't know of a simple way to declare to RequireJS a module and at the same time prevent the module from being able to be used by any code that can call RequireJS's require. Let's suppose the code you show would work. Then module b would be accessible to any code as soon as module a has been loaded. ("Loaded" here means that the factory function has executed.) So while accessing b would be dependent on loading a first, b would not be hidden.
The reason your code does not work is that the "synchronous" require of RequireJS is pseudo-synchronous... or perhaps a better term is that it is a pseudo-require which does operate synchronously but will bail right away if the module you want is not loaded. Again, "loaded" here means not only that a define call for the module has been executed but that the module's own dependencies are already loaded and that the module's factory function has executed already. In your code, the dependencies of module b have not been loaded and the factory function for b has not executed yet, so your require call fails.
You'd be able to load b with require(['b']) but then you'd have to return a promise of some sort from a.
You could essentially hide what is in module b by using scoping but not making b a module:
define("a", ['somedep', 'anotherdep'], function(dep, dep2){
    var b = (function (foo, bar) {
        return { something: "x" };
    })(dep, dep2);

    return {
        b: b.something
    };
});

A: We ended up changing the project to use es6 modules, bable and browserify. This makes everything synchronous instead of being async.

Most of agricultural research and extension efforts are focused on increasing crop and livestock production in order to improve farm incomes and food availability. However initial gains from improved production are negated by losses that occur during or after harvest, worldwide post losses of agricultural produce are estimated at 30%. Improving post harvest management may require inputs not only technical, but also economical and organizational.Farmers' objective, farming systems,level of farmers organization,level of access to information,markets and credit play crucial part in success of any attempt to improve post harvest management.Storage of food grains is inevitable both at times of deficit and surplus production. Since storage loss contributes a major share in post-production loss an attempt was made to study the rice storage in Cauvery delta in India with objectives of estimating marketable surplus at farm level, quantifying post-harvest losses, studying conventional storage practices followed by farmers and examining the possibility of introducing modern storage structures among farmers.


In April 1996, the author issued the document Inter-agency Coordination of Wetland Management: Consultation Draft for wide consultation. During the remainder of 1996, responses were received from almost 90% of organisations invited to comment, in addition to many from other interested individuals and organisations to whom consultees had copied the document. As those involved with public consultation will know, this return rate is very high, indicating the importance with which wetlands are viewed by many sectors of society, an impetus for improving the ways in which we manage and protect them, and an acknowledgement of the many ecological and societal values that they provide. This report is divided in three parts: Part I Directory of Organisations with Wetland Interests; part II Glossary of Acronyms and Terms for Wetland Managers; and Part III Draft Paper Summarising Conclusions of Consultation Exercise.

Oxfam sex scandal: Director promises justice for victims
in Britain
Oxfam says it will set up a commission to investigate past and present allegations of exploitation by staff.
Oxfam International's executive director Winnie Byanyima said it would "do justice" and "atone for the past".
She invited victims to come forward "for justice to be done" for them, saying she was "here for all the women who have been abused".
The British charity has faced criticism over the way it handled claims staff hired prostitutes in Haiti in 2011.
She said the organisation was "hurt", but added: "There is no way this organisation can die… the world needs it."
Ms Byanyima, the most senior Oxfam executive to speak on the issue, said she first heard of the controversy after news reports last week.
In an interview with the BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Landale, she switched to speaking in the Ugandan language of Runyankore to make an apology: "From the bottom of my heart forgive us, forgive Oxfam."
She admitted she could not guarantee there were not sex offenders currently working at the organisation but vowed Oxfam would "build a new culture that doesn't tolerate that behaviour".
Charity reform
She said the reforms at Oxfam would include:
setting up a high-level independent commission that will look into culture and practices at the organisation, with a mandate to investigate past and current claims of sexual exploitation
more than tripling the budget for the charity's safeguarding team, and doubling the number of staff working in the department
setting up a global database of accredited referees to ensure sex offenders cannot falsify references and reoffend at other charities
making the organisation's "whistleblowing mechanism" external, safe and confidential
Earlier this month, news reports said that during a humanitarian mission in Haiti in 2011, the charity's country director Roland van Hauwermeiren hired prostitutes at a villa paid for by Oxfam.
Mr Van Hauwermeiren, who left Oxfam in 2011 amid a sexual misconduct inquiry, has denied hiring prostitutes but said he had "intimate relations" with a woman who was "not a prostitute".
Oxfam had staff working in Haiti following the earthquake in the country which killed about 200,000 people in 2010.
As a result of the revelation, the charity has faced severe criticism from the British government and the Haitian president.
International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt has threatened to cut the charity's government funding, which was £32m last year.
The charity has also lost a number of celebrity ambassadors including Good Will Hunting actress Minnie Driver, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Ms Byanyima said she was sad to lose ambassadors she "respects so much", but added: "What hurts me most is out there in Haiti, there are poor women who have been abused and have not received justice."
The UK's Charity Commission is to launch a full inquiry into Oxfam, saying the organisation may not have "full and frankly disclosed material details" about the Haiti sex scandal.
On Thursday a new allegation came to light that a worker fired by Oxfam over sexual misconduct allegations in Haiti was rehired later the same year by the charity.
Oxfam said its decision to rehire the man in Ethiopia was a "serious error".
Oxfam has almost 10,000 staff working in more than 90 countries across the globe.

I had just got off my phone after lots of pointless discussions on "life and how best to live it" with an old friend of mine. We talked a lot, without sense of time. It was after a long time, naturally there was a lot to discuss.
Phone call delayed my assembly work but after getting off the phone I was really happy with what I was doing. Working on my dream that had taken shape in my second year of engineering. I was finally building my 3D printer after almost five years since I had dreamed for the first time.
It might not sound that big a deal because the kit is available online and so many people have already done this. But for me it was quite an adventurous journey to get (back) here, at this point where I would just forget every problems, every ambitions, every plans, forget just about everything and focus on building my portal to the free world, so I like to call. Thinking about butterfly effects, I still wonder how I got back to where I had once started. Just like Rust says: Time is a flat circle.
Overall it was a productive evening again. Philosophical and practical realizations achieved. Yes partial, let them be.

Q: ini_set session maxlifetime doesn't expire I am using this code on my loginsite:
if(isset($_POST['submitted']))
{
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 60);

session_set_cookie_params(60);
session_start();

   if($fgmembersite->Login())
   {
        $fgmembersite->RedirectToURL("loginhome.php");
   }
}

So the idea was, that when the user logs in and presses the submit button the maxlifetime counts down a specific time (here for test purposes 60 seconds) and then deletes the session on any site coming afterwards the login. I tried it on loginhome.php, where I got kicked after 60 secs and had to log in again (so it worked here fine). But if i go on further, on other pages of the login area, it doesn't work anymore. I also tried to copy the code to every page, so that the timer works seperate for every page, which doesn't work.
Can someone help me?
Regards

A: Even though you set it to 60 seconds, it's not going to expire it on every request.  PHP rolls a dice every time a page is requested as to whether on that request it's going to expire sessions.  If you are in a development environment you can make that "dice" have only one number.  That is, it will expire and garbage collect on every request if you set the following settings in php.ini:
session.gc_probability  "1"
session.gc_divisor  "1"

Women Under 18 May Soon Have Access to Morning-After Pill
A US court ruling this week may ease restrictions on the over-the-counter sale of morning-after pills, sold as Plan B, to women under 18.
TUESDAY, March 24, 2009 (Health.com) – A US court ruling this week may ease restrictions on the over-the-counter sale of morning-after pills, sold as Plan B, to women under 18.
A federal judge, U.S. District Judge Edward Korma, told the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to make the product available to 17-year-olds within 30 days, according to The Washington Post, and to reconsider whether it should be available without any age restriction at all.
Plan B, which contains the same synthetic hormones found in birth control pills but in a higher dose, can prevent pregnancy from occurring if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It may work up to five days after sex, but it works best when taken within 24 hours.
Plan B was FDA-approved in 2006 to be sold without a prescription as emergency contraception. It's available at most pharmacies, but for the moment, only to women over the age of 18. "Just ask the pharmacist and he'll give it to you," says Hilda Hutcherson, MD, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Columbia University Medical Center.
Since Plan B is more effective the sooner you take it, some health-care providers recommend having it on hand "just in case."
It should not be used as primary birth control, however. "Don't think, 'I'm only having sex four times a month, so I'll just take the morning-after pill every time,'" says Dr. Hutcherson. It's more expensive than other methods, may cause nausea, and will throw your cycles off. "Your body won't know what's going on," says Dr. Hutcherson.
Plan B is not the same as mifepristone, the abortion pill formerly known as RU-486. Mifepristone is available only with a prescription from your doctor; if taken, it can terminate an early pregnancy. If you take Plan B, on the other hand, and you're pregnant already, says Dr. Hutcherson, "You're gonna stay pregnant. Not gonna help you."

Fantasy Football 2016: Draft Picks from the Experts
Which players are SI.com's fantasy football experts drafting in their own leagues? Michael Beller and Pat Fitzmaurice provide a peek at their rosters.
Michael Beller & Pat Fitzmaurice
With just a week remaining before the first game of the 2016 NFL season and most of their fantasy football drafts and auctions complete, SI.com's fantasy experts Michael Beller and Pat Fitzmaurice decide to switch up their last roundtable of the summer and audit their player portfolios. Which players did they draft in nearly every league? Which players did they pass up? Read on.
Beller: We're in enough leagues that we're going to end up with diversified holdings, but ultimately there are certain players who we're trying to get no matter what, capitalization ratios be damned. I actually think spreading your risk across multiple fantasy leagues is kind of lame. Sure, I get the logic behind it, but I'm not investing for my future with fantasy football. I want to win all my leagues and make fun of my friends and fellow experts along the way. I realize that I don't have the market cornered on preseason fantasy analysis, but if I think A.J. Green is going to be a superstar, I'm not going to split my overall portfolio between him and DeAndre Hopkins. I'm going to try to get as much Green as I can, while being content to fall back on Hopkins. Diversification is for Wall Street, my friend. In the world of fantasy football, I'm going to win or lose with my guys.
Who are my guys, you ask? I'll save that for a little later. Instead, I'm going to check to you, Fitz. First, how many teams do you have this season (not including best-ball leagues)? Who shows up most often on your teams? And, be honest, what do you think of my dismissal of fantasy portfolio diversification?
Fitzmaurice: Not counting those best-ball leagues (I did about a dozen MFL10s at MyFantasyLeague.com), I've had four drafts so far, with four more yet to come.
The three guys I keep drafting are Jeremy Maclin, Marcus Mariota and a guy I've been buck-wild about in the late rounds—Javorius (Buck) Allen. The price is always right on Maclin. He fits comfortably into my top 20 at wide receiver, and it doesn't appear that others hold him in such high regard. I love that Chiefs QB Alex Smith only throws to two or three guys and that Maclin is Kansas City's only relevant WR.
I'm completely over the moon about Mariota. The kid is a star in the making, and this will probably be the last time fantasy owners can get him affordably. He's being drafted as a mid- to low-end QB2, and I think he'll be considered a QB1 at this time next year.
As for Allen ... well, I'm less confident after seeing an ESPN reporter suggest that Buck might have been on the roster bubble before rookie Kenneth Dixon hurt himself. But as a low-risk dart throw in the late rounds, Allen offers proven pass-catching ability and the potential to carve out a larger-than-expected role in an unsettled Baltimore backfield.
Like you, I don't worry too much about diversification. Maybe it's a wise strategy for the true degenerates (and I use that term in the most admiring way possible) who sink money into 20-plus leagues. But I'll live or die with the courage of my convictions on the players I like. Yeah, I'll overextend myself on certain guys and taste the pain if they get hurt or go bust. On the flip side, I was fortunate enough to own Allen Robinson and Eric Decker in the majority of my leagues last year, and it obviously paid off. But if you're torn between, say, A.J. Green and Allen Robinson late in the first round, and you're forced to make that same choice in more than one league, there's nothing wrong with spreading your bets.
What about you, Beller? Which sweets have you been buying at the candy store? Which players do you find most irresistible?
Beller: Candy isn't really my thing. I'm more of a salty snacks kind of guy, and I'll always take an appetizer over a dessert. I am, however, a big fan of Maclin, Mariota and Allen, the latter thanks to Kenneth Dixon's injury, which is expected to cost him four games in the regular season. All are desirable picks at their respective ADPs. Maclin is in that same club with Eric Decker. Both of those guys just can't seem to get the love from the fantasy community at large, despite the fact that they produce every season. As for Mariota, I'm with you 100%. I just nabbed him as my second QB in my home league, which is a superflex format, and I couldn't be much happier. I think he ends up pulling a Drew Brees or Russell Wilson this year, not in style of play or overall production necessarily, but in the way he'll get more from the whole of his offense than the sum of its parts.
I've completed three drafts and an auction, and I have two more of both formats this week, and you're not going to be surprised at my first portfolio stalwart. I've got Melvin Gordon in three of my four leagues, and the only reason I don't have him in the fourth is because the draft unfolded in a way that led me to an early pairing of Lamar Miller and Jamaal Charles. Anyone who has been paying any attention to our coverage here at SI.com this summer knows my strong feelings for Gordon. Everything went wrong for him in his rookie year, and a lot of that was at a structural level in the San Diego offense.
There was nothing he could do about his team using 11 offensive line combinations due to injury last year. There was nothing he could do about the defense putting the team in deep holes, forcing the offense to eschew the run game. It's hard enough being a rookie running back in the NFL, and even harder when the circumstantial deck is stacked against you. Such was the case with Gordon last year. He has looked excellent in the preseason, and I was fortunate to have some early drafts and auctions that let me get the Wisconsin product at a discount. You won't get that any longer, but I still love him at his ADP.
I've got one expensive receiver and one cheap one on multiple teams, as well. Mike Evans is going to take his place among the elite this season. He was better across the board in year two, but somehow fell to three touchdowns from 12 in his rookie year. That's nothing more than a fluke. With Jameis Winston also set to take a leap, the Buccaneers offense could be sneakily good this year, and Evans will be a huge reason why. At the other end, I keep on grabbing Kamar Aiken anywhere I can. He's the best receiver in Baltimore, and with the backfield looking like a mess, not to mention Marc Trestman at the controls, I think Joe Flacco could be among the league leaders in pass attempts this season. Aiken can turn in a top-30 season at the position, and he doesn't cost you much of anything.
Let's take a look at the opposite side of this, Fitz. What noteworthy players aren't on any of your rosters? Have you been fading them, or has it just been a matter of circumstance?
Fitzmaurice: As we've discussed before, I consider the price for Le'Veon Bell to be too steep given his suspension and injury history. Tyler Eifert is also still grossly overpriced for a guy who could miss close to half of the fantasy regular season. And speaking of tight ends, I won't own any shares of Rob Gronkowski or Jordan Reed. That's simply my approach to tight ends—I won't pick one in the first three rounds.
At quarterback, Blake Bortles and Kirk Cousins are fades. Bortles put up numbers last year but still doesn't pass the eye test, and the Jaguars will strive for more offensive balance. Cousins doesn't have a running game, which is going to put him in the crosshairs of opposing defenses. Yes, he'll throw a lot of passes, but his efficiency is going to nose-dive.
Everyone loves Keenan Allen more than I do. Sure, he'll catch a lot of passes, but he's averaged under 11.0 yards per catch in each of the last two years and doesn't score a lot of touchdowns. Allen is a glorified Jarvis Landry.
I don't think there's anywhere to go but down for pass-catching RBs Danny Woodhead and Theo Riddick. Woodhead, in particular, is seen as a safe investment, but I'm not so sure there aren't trap-door possibilities. (After all, I share your enthusiasm for Gordon, Woodhead's teammate.) Even if I weren't so worried about Frank Gore's age, I'd still be terrified by the Colts' dilapidated offensive line. Justin Forsett is another back whose cost I won't meet. Terrible pass catcher, and there are multiple players who could usurp his role.
Kelvin Benjamin and Coby Fleener both seem overpriced. The reports about Benjamin's poor conditioning are a turn-off, as the rapid development of Devin Funchess could be problematic for K-Benj owners. Fleener would seem to be in an ideal situation in New Orleans, but I think it's fair to question his talent.
How about you, Beller? Who are you fading? I'd be particularly interested to know if there are any players you're fading even though other fantasy analysts have been touting them.
Beller: I am, but first I want to hit on my No. 1 stay-away player for the season. I was fading Thomas Rawls before it was cool. A lot of people seem to be on that bandwagon after Christine Michael likely earned himself a role in the offense thanks to an impressive preseason, but that has only made me a stauncher Rawls critic. As great as he was last year, he was being drafted as a top-40 pick based on six games. He's right in the prime bust range for running backs, and he doesn't do anything in the passing game. Now that he's going to give up at least some carries to Michael, and potentially a significant amount, I don't want any part of him.
The one guy everyone loves who I'm off is David Johnson. I love the player, but I think the situation is being a bit oversold, particularly because of the Cardinals real-life aspirations. They lost to the Panthers in the NFC Championship Game last year, and are equipped to go even further this season. If they're going to do that, they need Johnson to be just as strong in January as he is in October. They also have the luxury of being able to take it easy with him, thanks to the presence of Chris Johnson. I do think that the younger Johnson will be efficient with the ceiling of being the best per-touch back in the league, but I'm not convinced the volume is going to be there for him to justify being a top-five pick. I'm certainly unwilling to pass on players like A.J. Green and DeAndre Hopkins, who are both sure things, as attractive as Johnson's upside is.
You stole a couple of my fades, Keenan Allen chief among them. I'm just not interested in receivers who don't make big plays down the field. You also know that it isn't possible for me to be any lower on Kirk Cousins than I already am. The guy had eight sub-20 quarterback weeks last year, threw 18 of his 29 touchdowns in five games, and somehow had five rushing touchdowns with just 48 rushing yards.
Finally, I don't have any Carlos Hyde shares, and I don't see that changing in any of my remaining drafts or auctions. I'm concerned that the 49ers are going to set him up with a lot of bad game scripts this season, and while he's admittedly a good fit for Chip Kelly's system that is quite lucrative for running backs when it's clicking, I worry about the overall offensive environment surrounding him in San Francisco. I like Hyde on his own merits enough that I'm willing to grab him at a discount, but that discount hasn't come yet, and I don't anticipate that it will over the next week.
This was a fun way to end our summer roundtable, Fitz. Keep on rocking, my friend.
Fitzmaurice: It's been fun, amigo. Until next time.

If I create a new Cocoa Touch class I always get the same old header. I also tried other categories (e.g. Cocoa Class.xctemplate, Objective-C File.xctemplate, Objective-C new superclass.xctemplate, ...), but nothing changed. What I'm doing wrong or which template is the correct one?
Links:
 - Change templates in Xcode
 - Changing the default header comment license in Xcode
 - Xcode change/remove comment template
 - Change copyright / top-comment / "header" on ALL new files in Xcode 5
 - Remove copyright in Xcode generated source code
But most of the information there seems to be outdated.

BlinkerMan!
Is this the hand of BlinkerMan?
This is the story of one Lionel Moore, accountant, pizza aficionado and, who, on a cold March morning, became the hero/vigilante known as BlinkerMan.
Where he came from and where he lives now does not matter. The car he drives is known only in whispers and hushed tones, based on the unreliable reports of witnesses and passersby. Some claim it to be an old Mercury Grand Marquis, the color of which is debated as grey, tan or white. Others claim it is either a Honda CR-V or a Toyota RAV4. Still others claim it is not a car at all, but a blue 1964 Vespa. His actions have taken place in areas as widespread as Middletown, Rhode Island and Storrs, Connecticut to Burke, Virginia and Houston, Texas. It seems the only thing people can agree on, whether supporters or detractors, is that he was there and he made a difference.
The first reported incident occurred in Rhode Island in March of 1983 in the town neighboring that picturesque seaside tourist destination, Newport. Witnesses claim that following one particularly long red light on West Main Road, a disadvantaged late model red Ford Explorer, devoid of the once ubiquitous directional stem coming off of the steering column changed lanes without notice. According to eyewitnesses, what followed is reported here:
"All I did was change lanes," claims Bob (whose last name was withheld at his request).
"It's true," said 86 year old Mary P. of Bristol, "I was behind him when he suddenly pulled in front of me. There was no warning, no directional light, nothing!"
Thanks to the cat-like reflexes of Mary P. she was able to swerve onto the sidewalk and avoid an accident only to mow down the prized rose bush of Middletown resident Sadie McQwerty and come to a stop only after pinning her rose bush and mailbox to Ms. McQwerty's garage door.
"It's sad," said Ms. McQwerty, "Where is the governmental oversight? How can we, as law abiding citizens, be forced to purchase automobiles without the directional stem being required on all cars? There was a time once, when all cars had blinkers. Not now. I can't believe we have to endure this. I miss that rose bush. You know, I tried to prune it back after the accident to see if it could be saved, but her rear tire snapped the bud union and there was no saving it."
Which leaves this reporter to wonder, was Ms. McQwerty's rose bush the first fatality caused by the automobile manufacturer's assembly line malfeasance? Of course, what happened next caused a statewide stir and generated newspaper headlines and letters to the editor for weeks afterward.
According to Bob (whose last name is still being withheld at his request), unaware of the rose bush murder taking place behind him, he continued northward on West Main Road when:
"All of a sudden, this car came up on the right side of my Explorer and, out of the corner of my eye I saw his driver's side window going down. The next thing I knew my passenger side window exploded inward, covering the Big Mac I was eating while driving in shards of broken glass, and lying next to my fries, covered in special sauce was a directional stem! I took the stem, wiped the special sauce on my shirt and stuck it in the hole on the steering column in which I used to keep my lit cigarette while I was texting and driving. It fit like a charm! I clicked it down and the left blinker blinked! I clicked it up and the right blinker blinked! I don't know who that person was but they're a hero to me!"
And so it was that reports started to surface, first in Rhode Island and then further out into Connecticut of windows being smashed and directional stems appearing. In one particularly strange occurrence, outside of a Panera north of Houston, Texas last week, a patron who had arrived at the restaurant earlier in the afternoon found a directional stem tucked under the windshield wiper of their pickup truck.
"What struck me odd, in addition to the stem, which I had never seen before, was how BlinkerMan was able to get it up under the windshield wiper of my truck. As you can see, my truck is a good twelve feet off the ground."
As if to prove the point, eighteen year old Austin Bibble removed the specially constructed stepladder assembly from under his truck's chassis and leaned it against the open driver's side door in order to climb up into his vehicle.
"See, it's not easy! I don't know how he did it. Oh, look, I can see Oklahoma from up here!"
Reports of this kind now seem commonplace across America. It seems that BlinkerMan continues to traverse the roadways of our nation, constantly on the prowl for cars not equipped with directionals, smashing windows and leaving their startled drivers with a safety device once under consideration by many in Washington, D.C. as mandatory and in the public's best interest, but whose existence was snuffed out by the ever behemoth NRA who claimed back in 2006 that the requirement of these implements was an infringement of the Second Amendment.
"We fought to have that particular piece of legislation struck down because it was only created by misinformed and uneducated liberals who sought to penalize the good law abiding people of this country by requiring this so-called "safety" device. We saw it for what it was, a backdoor attempt to extend this to a national gun registry and the first steps toward a run up to a national Day of Confiscation of all guns," replied Wayne LaPierre while clutching his custom red, white and blue leather wrapped AR-15 with a particularly fetching American flag wrapped silencer.
When asked if he ever personally used the directional in his car, Mr. LaPierre replied, "I have told my driver to NEVER use that symbol of an overreaching Obamastan tyrannical government, or I would shoot him."
Attempts to reach BlinkerMan have failed repeatedly. Requests posted on his Facebook page and Twitter accounts have gone unanswered. Unconfirmed reports out of Hollywood claim that a movie version is being planned with Woody Allen in the lead role and Lon Chaney in full Phantom of the Opera makeup as Wayne LaPierre. According to Mr. Allen, "Hey, it can't be worse than the Hulk."

Having only been a writer on this blog since the atrocity in Aurora, Colorado occurred and only vocal since the still unfathomable horror that occurred in Newtown, Connecticut, I confess that my depression in the state of humanity and the United States has been uplifted by the people I have encountered these past painful months. Not shut off by epistemic closure, these people read vast amounts on both sides of the debate and are dynamic and motivated in their desire to protect their families, friends and all Americans from the violence dispensed by firearms. We lift each other up when we feel the sting of political failure due to the intransigence of Republicans or Democrats not wanting to waste political capital or when we try to debate with some rabid, Second Amendment proponent with a Pavlovian reaction to the words "Obama," "tyranny," or "confiscation," a blank stare and an arsenal of weapons to protect himself from the government of the country he professes to love. As always, knowledge, education and meaningful debate are the only ways to agreement.
Today I was fortunate enough to have Preventing Newtown post an article I wrote. My thanks to them for the opportunity and for their passion and efforts. The fight before us is not an easy one, but here are a few quotes that keep me going:
"Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence." Ovid
"Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly." Mahatma Gandhi
"I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a period of moral crisis, maintain their neutrality" Martin Luther King, Jr.
"If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity." Albert Einstein
"What I used to say to people, when I was much more engagé myself, is that you can't be apolitical. It will come and get you. It's not that you shouldn't be neutral. It's that you won't be able to stay neutral." Christopher Hitchens
"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men." George Eliot
"I prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity." Marcus Tullius Cicero

Q: Printing JSON Data from Python Script to PHP Site I wasn't exactly sure what to title this question as I can't find much documentation on exactly what I'm doing. Apologies if this is a duplicate as I feel it combines issues a lot of other questions posed, but I couldn't get a solution working.
I have a Python script that calls an API and gives JSON data in the body of the return. I want to take this JSON data and print it to a webpage (for now, I will be pulling specific items out of it later) so that I can see that it's working.
Right now, the python script ends as follows:
r = requests.get(url=URL, params=PARAMS)
print (r.json())

PHP takes the data as follows
    $returned = shell_exec("python3 /var/www/eaton/BackEnd/GenerateCall.py ${arguments here}");
    $recipe = explode(',', $returned);

    echo "";
    echo "";
    echo "";
    echo "";
    echo "
";

    echo $returned."
";
    echo json_encode((json_decode($returned)), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
    echo "
";
    echo "
";
    echo "";
    echo "";

My output on the page is just "null". I had the text of the JSON data printing at one point (without the explode, decode, and encode methods) but it was just a string and couldn't have values extracted from it.
What is the easiest way to get this data imported in JSON format and get it to print the whole array? Running the python script from the shell seems to output the data properly, so I believe the issue is in PHP.

Melvin Carter proposes $50 college savings account for every St. Paul child
Following model of other cities, St. Paul would seek $50 for all kids for college.
By Emma Nelson Star Tribune
January 6, 2018 — 8:15pm
Every St. Paul kindergartner may soon start school with money for college.
In his inaugural address Tuesday, Mayor Melvin Carter pledged to work with businesses, philanthropists and nonprofits to provide a college savings account for "every child born in St. Paul."
A $50 investment isn't going to accumulate enough to make much of a difference in affordability, with in-state tuition and fees at the University of Minnesota totaling nearly $15,000 this year. Proponents of similar programs around the country say it's the idea, and not the sum, that will inspire students to work toward attending college.
If Carter is successful, St. Paul will join a growing group of U.S. cities working to boost college attendance by giving students a little college fund.
San Francisco started its $50 college funds for kindergartners in 2011. A program launched in 2015 in St. Louis now counts about 10,000 participating students. In Atlanta, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in her inaugural address — also on Tuesday — that she plans to follow suit.
The Minneapolis Youth Coordinating Board has been exploring implementing college savings accounts for a little over a year, said Executive Director Ann Marie DeGroot. In 2017, then-Mayor Betsy Hodges allocated $15,000 in her budget for the initiative, and this year allocated $40,000. The hope is to implement the program in 2019, DeGroot said, though the specifics have not been worked out.
There are few details about Carter's plan at this point, but it will likely be modeled closely after what other cities are already doing, said Liz Xiong, a spokeswoman for the mayor. It's one of Carter's immediate priorities, she said, along with reviewing the St. Paul Police Department's use of force policy and pushing for a citywide $15 minimum wage.
Because existing college savings account programs are relatively new, it's tough to predict whether the children they're serving now will ultimately attend and graduate from college.
"This is a long game," said St. Louis City Treasurer Tishaura Jones, who created the city's college savings account program. "These are small investments that we make in children that yield big returns, but we're going to have to be patient for those returns because we won't see them for another 12 to 13 years."
Selling the idea to families
When St. Louis launched its college savings account program — which is funded with municipal parking revenue and private donations — parents were skeptical, Jones said.
"It was free money coming from the government and they thought, 'Well, where are the strings that are attached?' " she said. "It took us a while to sort of build our reputation."
The challenge in launching college savings account programs is simply getting families to participate, said Grant Hewitt, chief of staff for the state treasurer in Nevada, where every public school student in the state has access to a $50 college savings account when they start kindergarten. That program is also funded without tax dollars.
Of more than 170,000 eligible students, Hewitt said, about 20,000 have claimed their account and about 1,400 have opened their own account, which allows their families to contribute money. Accounts must be claimed by the end of a child's fourth-grade year — after that, Hewitt said, the state takes the money back to fund other students' accounts.
"This is not an easy sell," he said.
St. Paul Public Schools reported 3,104 children enrolled in kindergarten in October 2016. The district already provides guidance for students around paying for college, but college savings accounts would be new.
"I think it's going to take many hands and some heavy lifting" to make happen, said Darren Ginther, assistant director for the district's Office of College and Career Readiness. But it's something the district supports, he said.
Making college possible
Though $50 isn't going to make a dent in tuition, the important thing is to get children thinking about saving for and attending college from an early age, said Sara Dziuk, executive director of College Possible Minnesota.
A program like the one Carter has proposed, she said, tells young people that their city "believes they are a child worth investing in."
"I think that statement is worth so much right from the start," Dziuk said.
Researchers at the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis can back that up. As part of a research project called the College Savings Initiative, they found that among children who expected to graduate from a four-year college, those with a savings account in their name were about six times more likely to attend college than those without one.
Joe Nathan, director of the St. Paul-based Center for School Change, volunteered for the Carter campaign and attended the inauguration. Nathan said he talked to Carter about college affordability and debt during the campaign, but Tuesday was the first time he heard the mayor's college savings account idea.
"I was delighted that one of the priorities that he has established is in the area of youth and in the area of helping expand opportunity for more youngsters to participate in some form of postsecondary education," Nathan said. "I think it's a terrific part of the kind of city that he wants it to be."

15 Apr It's Pajama Time! Corrie Eavenson Continues to Share Her Appreciation Five Years Later
Posted at 14:49h in All Blog Posts, Our Families, Volunteers	by	Brandshake Creative
A Special Bond Shared at the Ronald McDonald House
Corrie Eavenson, 7, is well known around our Atlanta Ronald McDonald Houses for sharing pajamas and a special bond with, Addison, who, along with Corrie, was diagnosed with biliary atresia as an infant.
"We are both from Tampa, so to have another friend in the same city with a daughter with the same liver disease is crazy," says Paige, Corrie's mother. On top of sharing all of these similarities, both girls received news within two days apart that they would get their life-saving liver transplants.
Paige and Corrie show their appreciation for Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities each year with an annual pajama drive celebrating Corrie's 'Liver-ersary.'
"We wanted to do something to remember her liver transplant," Paige says. "We never wanted it to become something that just happened. We wanted to honor those who supported us and helped us get to this stage in Corrie's life."
"We decided to do a pajama drive because sometimes you had to go to the hospital with what you had on your back and what way to feel better than a nice new set of pajamas," Paige says.
Paige and Corrie are grateful for the home away from home Atlanta RMHC provided to help Corrie heal after her liver transplant. Corrie's favorite part about the House during her recovery was the playroom. She enjoyed playing dress up, which often led to late nights.
Paige uses one word, "hopeful," to describe Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities. "It gave us hope to get back to normalcy," she adds.
Today, Paige and Sherry, Addison's mother, connect through social media. "It was awesome to have a friend to heal with, and I am extremely grateful that our families were brought together," Paige says.
After recovering from her transplant, Corrie now participates in basketball and swimming. "There was so much life after her transplant," Paige says.


A Bay Area teenager donated her sweet 16 birthday money to help orphans in Ethiopia after witnessing extreme poverty during a trip to the country.
ANTIOCH, CA -- An Antioch teenager's Sweet 16 birthday won't be a celebration of excess or even focus on her. Instead, it will be used to help orphans half way across the planet.
Nubia Wilson decided a birthday party wasn't the right thing to do, especially after she volunteered in Ethiopia earlier this year, witnessing first hand extreme poverty and seeing children in the streets walking barefoot to school. The school only goes up to fourth grade, so Wilson is trying to add a fifth grade class. The starting point was telling family and friends in December she didn't want a big birthday party.
"And a instead of gifts, I asked them if they could donate to the cause and I created a page on Crowdrise for them to donate there and I got over $2,000," she said.
Wilson says it feels good to help, but that she has to work harder now to raise more money. She's hoping to raise $10,000 and her family is getting involved by letting her auction off some of their Ethiopian art work and artifacts next month.
Wilson hopes to hand deliver the money that she raises to the school that's on the outskirts of the capital this summer. She said she'd like to grow up to be a humanitarian lawyer.

New Details About Kate And William's Reported Move To Windsor Have Been Revealed
Wpa Pool/Getty Images
By Marie McMullan/Updated: June 14, 2022 4:36 pm EST
Prince William and Kate Middleton — who have been opening up about family more recently — will be getting a change in scenery this summer, as multiple outlets have reported. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have lived in Kensington Palace since 2017 (per Berkshire Live News). However, with Prince William's 40th birthday coming up — a milestone he jokingly said was "so daunting," according to the Sunday Times — the family is reportedly making the move to Windsor. William, Kate, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, will apparently be starting a new chapter in the coming months.
While the family will evidently continue to make visits to Kensington Palace and their previous Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, the children will reportedly attend a Berkshire school in the fall, according to the Daily Mail. It's apparently an ideal move for the young family, with a reported "friend of William's" sharing that "They are quite confined in what they can do in London ... The kids can't go into the park and kick a football with friends." Now, the family will be able to enjoy some quiet time with other relatives on the Windsor Estate, at least until Prince William takes control of the monarchy one day in his future role as king.
Kate and William will be closer to family

In Windsor, Kate Middleton, Prince William, and their children will be much closer to the Duchess of Cambridge's parents, who live in Bucklebury (per the Mirror). This means the family will be less than an hour's drive from the children's maternal grandparents. It's also reported that the Duke and Duchess could eventually move into Windsor Castle itself, where Queen Elizabeth II has spent most of her time since Prince Philip's death (via Honey). It's been thought that the couple would choose Adelaide Cottage as their new residence, according to the Sun, which is a quick 10-minute walk from the queen at Windsor Castle.
The move to the Berkshire countryside will mean a new school for Prince George and Princess Charlotte — the two will be leaving their London private school, Thomas's Battersea (per Tatler). Prince Louis will also be starting school near Windsor in the fall. However, according to an insider, the couple hopes to make their Norfolk home of Anmer Hall their main residence "after the school years," (via Tatler). The family apparently "absolutely love it up there — it's their happy place."
The Duke and Duchess reportedly prefer the countryside

Kate Middleton and Prince William have previously offered insight into their disposition towards living a quieter life in the countryside. In an Apple Fitness+ special, "Time To Walk," William shared how he prefers to spend time out of the city. "We spend as much time as we can here, it's very peaceful," he said of the family's Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, according to Hello! Magazine. In previous years, William, Kate, and their children have reportedly spent their holiday seasons at Anmer Hall, with People dubbing it the couple's "home away from home."
It makes sense for William to reportedly love the quiet countryside. As an advocate for mental health, having the ability to slow down and appreciate the small things in life — family, nature, and quality time — most likely have a special place in his heart. In a Forbes review of William's "Time To Walk" episode, David Phelan noted how genuine the duke sounded in his advocacy for talking about feelings and taking care of oneself. It seems that moving to Windsor will be in tandem with the family's values.
What you need to know about Adelaide Cottage

The couple and their three children are reportedly moving into a four bedroom Windsor Estate property called Adelaide Cottage in Berkshire, the Sunday Times reports. The move will mean that Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their kids — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — will be closer to Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle. However, though their new home is dubbed a "cottage," it is still fit for the royal family. A beautiful, large white historic house, Adelaide Cottage has been the setting for many historical scenes and scandals.
The cottage is named for Queen Adelaide, the wife of King William IV. The cottage was built in 1831, according to Cosmopolitan. Adelaide Cottage gained prominence when it was rumored to have been a prominent setting for Princess Margaret's affair with Captain Peter Townsend, according to The U.S. Sun. More recently, the cottage gained media attention when it was rumored that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would possibly move there in 2018, according to Harper's Bazaar. Now, the property is falling to Kate and William instead.

Hello, my name is Heather Prince and I am the go-to expert for healing your inherited blocks so you are free to live the life of your dreams.
It's not YOUR fault! The reason you are struggling could be inherited from your ancestors and the only way to get happy is to release it all! Keep reading!
Did you know that research shows that we actually hold onto DNA for GENERATIONS?
The parent/child connection manifests as one link in a long chain of ancestral karma that stretches back through time.
Your link to your family allows you to be born into that specific line – it is a link that needs to be understood and respected.
In this modern scientific age it is very difficult for people to accept the fact that they are responsible to their ancestors, that they are actually liable for the actions of their ancestors if the resulting karma has not yet been dissolved.
Many find it absurd to think that the actions of an unknown ancestor could possibly have anything to do with what is happening to them today. But time and time again when investigating someone's karma, I find problems that stretch back generations. Their spirit is not just an individual entity, it is also part of the family spirit that births and nurtures it.


When David Bowie died in January 2016, Simon Critchley received many invitations to reflect on the pop star, in part because he had published a collection of brief essays called Bowie in 2014. A New York-based Englishman like Bowie himself, Critchley has repurposed that book after its subject's death, also integrating elements of a eulogy he wrote for The New York Times. The result is a probing blend of criticism, fandom, philosophy, and history, encapsulating what Critchley calls 'a love story that, in my case, has lasted about forty-four years'.

DevOps Continuous Feedback Loop Solidifies Continuous Deployments.
Continuous feedback tells the full DevOps story. Imagine a DevOps practice that allows a continuous deployment process to automatically install code updates from development to production. In addition, it does so with zero touches, and connects a user story to an endpoint target.
As a result, anyone from your agile DevOps team can see the root cause of a production error, analyze a potential deployment problem, or plan for a developer release. This is the promise of collaborative, continuous feedback built into your continuous deployment automation.
Success with agile DevOps requires all players, from development through production, to be part of the conversation, or best yet on the same team. As development teams take on more of the deployment responsibility, a high level of trust must be established with operations. Therefore, automating alone will not achieve the results needed. Transparency and a clear DevOps continuous feedback loop is required for involving all in the process. This allows development teams to take on the management of deployments across the pipeline with the full confidence of operations.
Developers and Testers must give operations continuous feedback. The feedback must include more DevOps insight into how their application is assembled. In addition, the required infrastructure configurations must be coordinated early and often.
Operation teams should have confidence that developers are increasing the rate of deployments in order to reduce risk. Therefore, confidence and trust must be built with transparency. Ultimately, trust is what allows the development teams to take on more deployment responsibility leading to full continuous deployments.
In conclusion, taking control starts with understanding that shifting responsibilities, shared transparency and improved automation are fundamental to your continuous delivery goals. Collaboration and continuous feedback allows you to take control. DeployHub Pro includes many reports that create the transparency, including a continuous feedback loop that maps your code commit to the deployed endpoints. DeployHub open source provides a similar Loop starting at the Build Job.
Start your continuous deployment journey incrementally, one small success at a time.
DeployHub balances deployment responsibilities between teams. Therefore it allows each to manage their realm, while collaborating and sharing knowledge across the pipeline. This collaboration helps to unblock the flow of code changes into production.
Hence, all users, developers, testers and site reliability engineers, can 'subscribe' to an Application to stay in informed with no guesswork. Subscribing provides a 'social networking' experience for monitoring updates to the application, objects or server. The 'feed' is presented in a timeline format that notifies subscribers about all activities, including new versions, changes and deployments, across the continuous delivery pipeline.
In addition, DeployHub's built-in collaboration features encourage discussions across the pipeline, eliminating waterfall habits and facilitating a practice where everyone is a part of the agile team.
Exactly the across the board shift in thinking needed for the DevOps revolution to take hold.

I had the opportunity to dance in THON 2012 this past weekend. For those who didn't see our post on Friday, I did so in memory of my uncle, Mark Tecce, who passed away at age five from a rare form of cancer. This is what I want to tell him about my experience.
You never got the chance to meet me, but I'm your nephew, John. I am the son of your older brother, Michael, and his wonderful wife, Eileen, who you would have gone to high school with. Unfortunately, I don't know too much about you, but I know that we would have had a great relationship had we gotten the chance.
I am currently a senior at Penn State University, a school that you would have grown up rooting for just like your older brother did. I love it here, and I think you'd be proud of how much I've managed to accomplish during my time in Happy Valley. Some of my proudest accomplishments involve THON, which helps raise money for kids like you and families like yours, families like ours. This past weekend, after months of fundraising and years of work to allow myself to be selected to, I spent 46 hours straight awake and on my feet as a dancer in THON 2012. We raised a record $10.6 million For The Kids this year, and we couldn't be prouder.
I dedicated my THON 2012 experience to you, Uncle Mark. I wrote your initials on my headband and sweatband and I thought of you the entire time, especially when I felt myself struggling. I had a rough few hours on Sunday morning, but seeing a reminder of why I THON (that's you!) hanging on a curtain along with the reasons the other 700+ dancers THON gave me strength to push on. I know that the pain you experienced during your year of treatments, which your dad and sister told me you never once complained about, must have been much worse than the few hours of pain that I felt.
Through your family, I got to know you better than ever before over the course of this past weekend. Your sisters told me how sweet you were, your father proudly wrote of your bravery, and your brother continued to express how important you were to him. Your mother even sent me some pictures of you, some of them including speech bubbles filled in with funny quotes (yes, she still does that).
I also got to know you through what I saw and felt this weekend. You existed in every Four Diamonds kid I saw, kids you have so much in common with, who spent their weekend away from hospitals and treatments to squirt us with water guns and play games with us. You existed in every line dance I danced, every piece of dancer mail I received (and there was a lot ), and every time I laughed, cried, smiled, hugged, danced, and felt loved. And, perhaps most importantly, you existed in the amazing support I received from your brother, his wife, and from your niece, Lauren, who will continue to THON for you after I graduate this spring.
Just months before you passed away, a man named Joe Paterno took over as the head coach of Penn State's football team. He would become a legend and icon at Penn State over the next few decades. Coach Paterno recently passed away, but one of the lessons he left behind was that we should all strive to "make an impact." Shortly after what would have been your 50th birthday, Uncle Mark, your impact on my life showed as I danced for 46 amazing hours. I hope the impact that I made for the Four Diamonds kids lasts as long as the impact you've made on all of those you knew.
THON 2012's theme encouraged us to Brighten Every Journey for the kids that we raise money for. From what I've heard, you brightened the journey of your parents and siblings in your short time with them, and you've inspired me to make sure that kids like you will have the opportunity to do so as well.
I hope I did you proud this weekend, Uncle Mark.


Are you an innovator? Do you like using science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to invent solutions to messy problems? If so, the SUDDS team needs your help!
Who: We're looking for middle graders to help us test a new type of activity that we're calling STEM entrepreneurial challenges. Students will use math in solving these challenges, but there is no prerequisite knowledge required to participate in the challenge. All who are excited about using STEM to solve real and messy problems are welcome!
What: STEM entrepreneurial challenges encourage students to use their knowledge of STEM to invent solutions to pressing issues. What makes these challenges different from other STEM challenges is that we want students to think like entrepreneurs, including developing business plans, because without money, even the best solution is unlikely to succeed!
Why: By participating in the STEM entrepreneurial challenges, students will apply and strengthen STEM skills as they work with a team to apply design thinking principles. Additionally, they will hone their presentation skills and learn to be succinct as they participate in a 5-minute pitch competition. To win, they will need to convince investors (panel of judges) that their solution solves an important problem and is applicable in a range of situations and for a variety of users.
Additionally, by participating in the challenges, students will be partners in the design process. The solutions they develop and the feedback they provide will help us revise our current challenges, design future challenges, and identify ways to support students and teachers in real middle school classrooms.
Where: Testing will take place at the SUDDS office space, located at 407 Gorman St. in Raleigh. Free parking is available on site.
When: We will be testing during the day, after school, and on the weekends. Please fill out the Google form below to help us identify times that can work for everyone who wants to participate.
If you are interested in participating, please fill out this Google Form to provide your name, contact information, and days and times you would be interested in participating. If you have any questions, please contact Michael Belcher at mjbelche@ncsu.edu.
