Q: Created raster is not following mouse Icon moves when I move the mouse, but it doesn't move to the last position when I stop moving.
I used Paper.js for this.
My code:
    function setMousePosition(data) {
      var yyy;
      var deltaX;

      for (var i = 0; i < playersData.length; i++) {

        var element = playersData[i];

        if (element.playerName == data.playerName) {

         // element.cursor.position = new Point(data.position[1], data.position[2]);

          deltaX = (data.position[1] - element.cursor.position.x) / (100);
          yyy = (data .position[2] - element.cursor.position.y) / (100);

         var lastx =  element.cursor.position.x + deltaX;
         var lasty =  element.cursor.position.y + yyy;

          element.cursor.position = new Point(lastx,lasty);

        }

      }

    }

Icon doesn't move to cursor end position.

Hello, March! March is a fun month for us, it's a month filled with birthdays, anniversaries, and a peek into Spring. This year, March is also the month we focus on Patience.
There are several tips and ways to teacher your toddler to be patient.
First of all, define patience.
What is patience? Well, it's really the ability to wait due to a delay without getting angry or upset. Holding it together when things aren't going your way just yet.
Patience is sitting without complaining.
Patience is being quiet while you wait your turn.
Second of all, make waiting and patience a visual experience.
Clocks are your friends, guys. Our three-year-old doesn't know how to tell time yet, but she does understand the concept of 5-minutes.
If you search on Pinterest, there are several printable clocks out there that you can use to help your cild visualize time, their activities, and thereby, the patience for what comes next.
You can find a few great examples here, here, and here.
Third of all, model it.
Obviously, as the parent, you need to "be the change you wish to see in the world." Right? In other words, model the patience that you want your toddler to understand and duplicate. If you're not a real patient person (which is totally fine because I hate waiting for the microwave to get to 0 before I open it), then use books to model that behavior.
You can find a few of our favorite books that teach patience here, here, here, and here.
Fourth of all, make it fun.
Did you know that everything in life doesn't have to be so hard? Things can actually be fun! Teaching can be fun! Yay teaching!
Teaching your kids to be patience is no easy feat. But, if you make it fun by cutting the internet and having them wait for it to come back on cooking or baking, they will definitely love the experience!
Heck, you can even play board games that will teach your child basic things like waiting his/her turn and playing until the end.
Here are some of our favorite board games: Operation, Pictureka, and The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game.
Whatever you do, make sure to have patience with yourself. Teaching patience to someone else is not easy!

Big Data search engine for full-text strings and photos with radius search
Mini-Google with Many Formats
Later, the script in Listing 2 finds files for predefined keywords, just like an Internet search engine. When you call this script with fs-search '*', the command matches every document in the index. (The single quotes stop the Unix shell from grabbing the metacharacter * and turning it into a glob in the local directory.) Anyway, Elasticsearch returns 10 more or less random results for fs-search '*', because with no further configuration, the maximum number of hits is set to 10. The script shown a little later changes this value to 100.
fs-search
The search() method called in line 12 expects the name of the search index under which the data resides (again fs), and it wants the query string in the body part of the request. From the documentation [7], you can see that Elasticsearch obviously understands a whole range of historically grown query formats, which necessitates the seemingly absurd nesting (lines 15-17) of query/query_string/query.
The result of the fact-finding mission is a reference to an array of hits, which the for loop iterates over in lines 20 and 21, printing only the names of the matching files, which are part of the result set.
Searching GPS Image Data
Elasticsearch can do even more, though. For example, the geo_distance filter [8] extends the classic full-text search, adding an interesting capability. If you configure the filter and store matching geodetic data for each document, the search engine will show you the entries that are located within a certain radius. This feature could be useful, for example, if you find yourself roaming around with your mobile phone late at night looking for a five-star restaurant in the area that is still serving.
Because my iPhone 5, just like any other smartphone, stores the GPS data in the Exif header of the JPEG file for every image I shoot, a search that starts with a given image in the phone's photo album ("Gallery") and finds images that I shot within a 1km radius of the image's location could be fun. As an example, Figure 2 shows a photo of the newly constructed eastern span of the Bay Bridge [9] in my city of residence, San Francisco. Since last year, pedestrians and bike riders can get to the middle of the bridge on a dedicated path, from where I shot a number of photos.
Figure 2: A picture of the new Bay Bridge shot with an iPhone.
Figure 3 shows the output of the exiftags command for the photos transmitted from the phone to my Linux machine. Almost at the bottom, you can see that the image was shot at the geolocation 37°48.87' north latitude and 122°21.55' west longitude.
Figure 3: The GPS values in the Exif header of the image file from the iPhone are 37°48.87' north latitude and 122°21.55' west longitude.
Modern Sextant
The photo_latlon() function in Listing 3 reads these GPS values with the CPAN Image::EXIF module and uses dm2decimal() from the Geo::Coordinates::DecimalDegrees module to convert them to floating point numbers. The regular expression in lines 47-53 searches the geodata for a letter (N or S for north or south latitude, W or E for western or eastern longitude), followed by the numerical degree value and the degree symbol encoded in UTF-8. The minutes follow after one or more spaces.
IPhonePicGeo.pm
Thus, 37°48.87'N becomes the value 37.816 and 122°21.55'W becomes the negative floating-point number -122.3555.
Google Maps confirmed (Figure 4) that the talented photographer really was standing in the middle of San Francisco Bay on the Bay Bridge when he pressed the button. To find out whether other pictures in the photo album were recorded within a radius of 1km, photo-index in Listing 4 examines all the transferred photos in the ~/iphone directory and stores their GPS data on the local Elasticsearch server.
Figure 4: The coordinates 37,816, -122.3555 really are located on the Bay Bridge in San Francisco.

Pastors' Conference: a call to character 'from above'
Baptist Press evangelism, preaching, SBC19
BIRMINGHAM (BP) — Whether in suffering or dealing with a social media firestorm, lean into the godly character that the Holy Spirit is fashioning in your heart – that was the core challenge of the first two sessions of the 2019 Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference June 9-10 at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex in Birmingham, Ala.
The first seven speakers began working their way through the Beatitudes – found in Matthew 5:1-12 – challenging church leaders to live out the theme of "Kingdom Character."
Robert Smith Jr.
Robert Smith Jr. began session one by preaching an overview of the Beatitudes.
Smith, the Charles T. Carter Baptist Chair of Divinity at Samford University's Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham, explained that the Beatitudes were paradoxical statements made by Jesus.

"A paradox occurs when two mutually exclusive statements meet at the intersection of apparent contradiction only to produce truth," Smith said.
The Beatitudes address nine "cause" statements and then leave the rest of the Sermon on the Mount to address the effect, he said. "They address the root while the sermon addresses the fruit. The Beatitudes address the motive, why you do what you do, leaving the entirety of the Sermon on the Mount to address the action."
Smith concluded his message by explaining that Christians will not be able to live out the Beatitudes without the power of the Holy Spirit and will not be able to embody them fully until they are glorified in Heaven.
"The Holy Spirit is not a luxury, He is a necessity," Smith said. "It's like you can't even be a Christian without the Spirit. God is working to develop from the inside what He has already put in you. In other words, you don't have seven of these blessings, you have all nine of them. The question is not how much of the Spirit do you have, but how much of you does the Spirit have?"
Jay and Katherine Wolf
Evangelists Jay and Katherine Wolf of Hope Heals in Atlanta displayed Christ's power in suffering by telling how Katherine nearly died from a massive brain stem stroke at age 26. From a wheelchair on stage, Katherine, now severely disabled, said all people "have invisible wheelchairs of so many different kinds."
"We've all been through various types of suffering – hard things, past trauma, pain, the sin that's hurt us, how we've hurt others," Katherine said during the Sunday night session.

"… We're just a testament to the power of Jesus taking some really hard, bad suffering and using it. I want to encourage you to listen to us share with that perspective, seeing yourself in this story because it is in fact your story too," she said. "The specifics may be different … but I guarantee you've had hard stuff in your story."
Jay, whose father is the longtime pastor Jay Wolf at First Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, said the body of Christ "forever has changed our story and our life, and I know we wouldn't be here today were it not for the church coming around us and uplifting our life and our story when everything fell apart."
In the hours after the stroke, Katherine's doctor did not expect her to live but decided to risk a lengthy surgery to give her a slight chance at survival. During that surgery, he had to make decisions about which parts of her would become disabled in order to sustain her life.
"In the wounding of Katherine came the healing of Katherine," she said. "I think that is true in all of our stories. In our terrible woundings, a beautiful healing can come, and that is the Christian life."
Katherine encouraged believers to accept that there is pain that is "lifelong that we will not understand or that will not be healed, taken away, until heaven."
"We need to be OK with the tension that everything is not healed and restored on earth and that there is a tenor of sadness to things in life for sure, and that that's OK, that God is absolutely present and at work even in the hard, sad things where there is ultimately such beauty," Katherine said.
Ed Litton
When Ed Litton's wife Tammy passed away in a tragic car accident in 2007, he wanted to "helicopter over" the Valley of the Shadow of Death and get through it as quickly as possible. But God invited him to walk through it instead, he told those present at the Sunday night session.
Ed Litton, pastor of Redemption Church in Mobile, Alabama, preaches on the beatitude Blessed are those who mourn during the 2019 SBC Pastor's Conference June 9. Litton and his wife both experienced the loss of previous spouses in car accidents. MATT MILLER/BP
"When I was standing at the trailhead of the Valley of the Shadow of Death I was frightened; I was terribly afraid," said Litton, pastor of Redemption Church, Mobile.
He asked, "Lord, how long is this going to take?" But God didn't answer him, Litton said.
"The more I traveled with Him, I discovered He is utterly faithful to us," he said. "He draws near to those who are brokenhearted and crushed in spirit."
If you skip the walk, "the reality is you miss the beauty that is hidden in that dark trail of tears," Litton said. "We miss the beauty and the God who says I will never leave you or forsake you."
This "blessed condition" for those in grief and sorrow is "only possible because of the Lord Jesus Christ," he said as he spoke on Matthew 5:4, "Blessed are those who mourn." But mourning in the Beatitudes doesn't just mean grief because of the loss of a loved one or an ability or ministry, he explained.
"I'm talking about a greater kind of loss, the kind of loss when we drift from the Lord or depart from the Lord," he said. When Christians see their sin the way God sees it, it leads to mourning.
"There's a hole in our repentance," Litton said. "We tend not to mourn; we helicopter over it and go straight to (God's) forgiveness."
True godly sorrow in repentance is not a quick fix, he said – it's a blacksmith in Christians' hearts beating out the sin that keeps them from God, sins like racism and indifference toward their neighbors. It's this kind of repentance that can truly bring revival, Litton said.
"We need to stop just saying we want revival, and we've got to start filling the hole in our repentance which brings what we long for," he said.
David Platt
In a social media landscape that can drive people to jump to conclusions and stokes the fires of online outrage, Christians should heed the words of Jesus to pursue meekness, said David Platt as he kicked off the Monday morning session of the conference.

Platt, pastor-teacher of McLean Bible Church in Vienna, Virginia, spoke at the Pastors' Conference only eight days removed from a public prayer for President Donald Trump during his church's Sunday worship service. Platt's prayer was the subject of much social media conversation. But more concerning for Platt was the divided response of his own congregation, he said.
Some members of Platt's church were overjoyed about the president's impromptu visit, Platt said, while others were hurt and discouraged. The church should be the place where believers can have different political opinions and remain unified in the Gospel, he said.
Preaching from the third Beatitude – "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth" (Matt. 5:5) – Platt said Christians should spend more time listening humbly in face-to-face conversations with fellow Christians instead of speaking boldly on the internet. In a politically polarized secular environment, Jesus' teaching about meekness – something Platt called calmness and joy "from above" – is a powerful antidote.
"We live in a culture that entices us at every moment to speak our thoughts from behind a screen instead of looking in the eyes of our brother and sister in love and listening to them," Platt said. "Let us not get caught up in this – where we jump to erroneous conclusions and ignore honest convictions of brothers and sisters in Christ who may have different views from us."
God's definition of blessing means a follower of Jesus "can be blessed and be hungering and thirsting at the same time," Russell Moore told the Pastors' Conference Monday morning.
Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, spoke on Matthew 5:6 – "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, speaks during the second session of the two-day 2019 SBC Pastors' Conference. He spoke about the beatitude Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. ADAM COVINGTON/BP
In this verse, Jesus says the ones who are blessed are blessed by God in a way that God defines it, Moore said – "not a life free of suffering, not a life that is free of carrying the cross but a life in which someone is in right relationship with a God who loves them and is for them and a God who is putting them in right relationship with one another, a God who has blessed them with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a God who is enabling them to be a blessing to the nations."
"The hungering that God creates is the hungering He also fills," Moore said. "[W]hen we hunger and when we thirst for righteousness, what we inevitably say is: 'God have mercy on me.' We then are the people who recognize that we can only seek after righteousness when we understand and know that we are sinners in need of mercy."
Followers of Jesus must set themselves apart for holiness, Moore said.
"We do that by repenting of sin," he said. "We do that by coming into the light. We do that by holding up one another and bearing one another's burdens. We do that by feeling the weight of our own sin but not in despair, feeling the weight of our own sin as those who have believed the Gospel and who are walking toward the kingdom.
"But we're also the kind of people who make it very clear that the Gospel is not for the righteous but for sinners like us," Moore said. "We hunger and we thirst for the righteousness we have been called to but the righteousness that we in and of ourselves have not obtained."
Martin Young
Martin Young, senior minister of Rising Brook Community Church – a church plant in Staffordshire, north of Birmingham, England – explained to the Monday morning audience that living mercifully is living beautifully.
Teaching on the Beatitude "blessed are the merciful" from Matthew 5:7 and pulling from 2 Kings 6:14-23, Young explained that believers should show mercy to the poor, to those different than them and to those closest to them.
Martin Young, senior minister of Rising Brook Community Church in Staffordshire, England, speaks on the beatitude Blessed are the merciful. ADAM COVINGTON/BP
"When we act mercifully, a flow begins because the kingdom of heaven is about flow. It's an ecology…. the mercy that was extended to us extends to other people…. We find ourselves in a flow, and mercy then flows through our hearts to other people's hearts. This is the secret of the Kingdom of Heaven," he said.
The bottom line, according to Young, is that both the one offering mercy and the one receiving mercy gain from the act.
In the end, he said, "Increasingly, people are finding Jesus. Increasingly, people's minds are being mended and relationships restored. This is the Gospel. This is the kingdom of heaven. This is eternal life being expressed and enjoyed."
Young also encouraged attendees to be particularly full of mercy when dealing with others who think or act differently than they do.
Mercy addresses difference, Young said. These differences can be racial, social, or theological. It can be really hard to love people who are different than us, he said, but when people show mercy in given situations, those acts can be lovely and beautiful.
Mercy can be our "most powerful weapon against anger, sin, resentment, competition, bitterness," he said.
Young encouraged attendees to be on the lookout for the people around them in need of a merciful encounter.
"Mercy … is the flowing of the Holy Spirit pouring out of a merciful heart and pouring into a merciful heart," he said. "Look for these moments … and let us overcome evil by doing good."

Big time folk rock, little venue

Ryan McMahon has had enough of the social facade.
"I was trying to kick my own depression in the ass," said the Elbowroom Recordings artist of the work on his latest album, In Line for a Smile.
Big time folk rock, little venue Back to video
"I was getting to a point in life where everyone's trying to keep up with the Joneses, everyone's looking at their social media and we see everybody else's highlight reel and I think sometimes you can get caught up in that and that can make you sad."
The Vancouver Island native sought to wade above the weeds in the best way he knew how: writing a kickass folk-rock record.
"I've been able to travel overseas, get paid very well to play for very big audiences that I never would have imagined, but I'm also not on the cover of Pitchfork or on the tips of the tongues of music reviewers in the same way that some of my friends like William Prince or Dan Mangan are," he admits.
"Sometimes, it's just natural for you to want to want more. 'How come that guy's successful? I want to be as successful as that guy!' It's all bulls***, it's all comparisons and this album helped me eradicate feeling that way and just really enjoy the journey of making music."
The singer has just embarked on the In Line for a Smile tour, with 20 stops planned at small venues over the next two months. The Hub Cafe and Wine Bar (101 Sunset Dr) will be one of them, as McMahon stops by the Sunset Ridge spot on January 26.
He knows Cochrane well, having played in town a handful of times as part of Lion Bear Fox, a folk trio with Spotify and SoundCloud plays well into the tens of thousands, and a previous sold out St. Andrew's United Church show on their resume.
"We kind of seem to endear ourselves to the community and we really kept coming through and hanging our hats there, we'd always double down and play Cochrane every time we were coming to Calgary to play the Ironwood."
The Ironwood, the storied live music venue in Calgary's Inglewood neighbourhood, conjures up some laughs for the singer-songwriter.
"When you're a B.C. boy, the first thing you do as a nineteen or twenty year-old punk is get in a van and go to Alberta because it's right next door," he said.
"I was trying to get gigs in Calgary throwing my demo tape in the mail. Everyone was saying 'no' because, well, I kind of sucked. You've got to be told 'no' a bunch and develop that thick skin. One guy who worked at the Ironwood stage, back when it was where The Blues Can is now, sent me an email and said, 'You kind of aren't that good, but I have a Tuesday. I have no acommodations for you, I think I can give you 150 bucks for the four of you and some beer.'"
"I did it, and we've been really good friends ever since."
Twenty-one years later, it's safe to say McMahon's done a pretty good job of progression. Cochranites can hear for themselves, with In Line for a Smile available on most major platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.
Folk artists with a talent for songwriting can sometimes fall into a trap where they let the lyrics do all their work at live shows, the focus on lyrics sometimes leading to a lack of musical 'oomph' in the performance. McMahon's done a pretty solid job of not falling into that snag.
"I play every show like it's my last, sing my guts out, tomorrow's not guaranteed," he said. His solo works, driven by acoustic guitar and storytelling, are still packed full of instrumental energy.
"It's going to be an interactive show," he said.
"Because it is so small, I can look them in the eye. If somebody has the hiccups, we're going to talk about it."
"People are more than welcome to mix it up with me because I'm always dialoguing in-between the songs and telling people the backgrounds of them. Sometimes the stories are really funny, sometimes the stories make you think, sometimes they make you cry."
Showtime at The Hub is 7 p.m.. Tickets can be purchased for $20 at ActiveLight.ca/ryan-mcmahon-tickets or at the door if still available.

Late on Thursday night, the United States military launched four missiles, via drone, that have sent shock waves crashing through Iran, the Middle East and the world.
In the strike, authorized directly by President Donald Trump, legendary Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani, head of Iran's elite Quds Force and spearhead of Iran's spreading military influence in the Middle East, was killed. The impact within Iran's leadership has been huge.
This is a hammer blow to Iran; make no mistake about it. It is also no over-exaggeration to say that such an action could well be the spark for a renewed war in the region, with some commentators even questioning if this could be the opening salvo of a much wider regional confrontation. Some commentators are even whispering "World War III" in hushed tones.
"At the direction of the president, the US military has taken decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani," a Pentagon statement reads.
The assassination of Qasem Soleimani comes amid the widespread US belief that he was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq, and throughout the region, in the very near future.
There is also a widespread belief in America that Soleimani is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members, and the injuring of thousands more.
Up until this point, Qasem Soleimani has always been the "man that got away," seemingly immune from any Israeli or American retaliation. Many believed that he acted in the Middle Eastern theatre with near impunity. Not anymore.
Iran has openly called this a "declaration of war," and declared three full days of national mourning. Qasem Soleimani was much more than merely a military leader to the Iranians.
Within Iran, Soleimani was an emblem, a figurehead, for Iran's stand against the West in the Middle East, and the world generally. He was a revered hero, seen by many as an all-conquering warrior against the Zionists and the infidel West; he was a national icon, second only to the Ayatollah himself in popularity and esteem.
He is now dead.
For Iran, Qasem Soleimani's death was the unthinkable. But it has happened, and the response from Tehran has been immediate, vowing that America will receive a "crushing" retaliation for this strike.
Iranian Defense Minister Amir Hatami, also a top military leader for the elite Al-Quds Brigade, of which Qasem Soleimani was the head, said, "A crushing revenge will be taken for this unjust assassination. We will take revenge from all those involved and responsible for his assassination."
US Defense Secretary Mark Espira has, in the wake of this attack, announced the United States' policy to begin pre-emptive strikes against her enemies in the Middle East, "to Iran and it's proxies: we will not accept the continued attacks against our personnel and forces in the region. Attacks against us will be met with responses in the time, manner and place of our choosing. We urge the Iranian regime to end malign activities."
There is no doubt that this assassination could be the catalyst for a major escalation in the Middle East. Some have even described this as akin to throwing a stick of dynamite into a dry powder keg. Others to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914 that sparked the beginning of World War One. This assassination is potentially that important.
Such an action, without question, carries with it the risk of swift and significant escalation, yet it is difficult at this early point to estimate with any specificity what Iran's response will be. But that they will respond is an absolute certainty.
The immediate Western response from Israel, the United States and regional allies has been to put embassies, bases and all personnel, military and non-military, on high alert for immediate retaliatory strikes.
Additionally, all embassies and consuls around the world, not just in the region, have now been placed on a state of high alert. The Iranians are masters of asymmetric warfare, something we may all potentially learn in the weeks ahead.
At this point, all eyes must be on Iran. Much of what happens over the coming weeks, months and even years will be determined by how Iran responds to this assassination right now, over the coming days.
When Iran does respond, they will be walking a very fine tightrope indeed. Not go far enough, and they look weak; go too far and they will provoke war with a country that they cannot hope to defeat in direct, conventional warfare.
There is a very real danger that any Iranian response could lock both them and the United States into a cycle of mutual escalation that might end in a much wider regionwide war, one which would impact all of us, and be almost impossible to pull back from.
In any direct military confrontation between the United States and Iran, the probabilities of the conflict becoming a major regionwide war within 48 hours are currently estimated to be about 90% or higher, quickly drawing in other nations and US allies.
The Iranians have equipped and paid for a massive missile force in Lebanon, estimated by some to be as many as 110,000 rockets. This evening, Israel sits firmly in the crosshairs of any potential Iranian response.
It is hard for me to overstate the potential significance of this moment. Whatever happens over the next few days, one thing is certain: the United States is closer now to a real, direct hot war with Iran than it has ever been in recent times.
Equally, for the US, the end result of this may be a huge loss of influence. Iraq has already declared this US assassination to be against their sovereignty. In this context, it may well now lead to the forced military withdrawal of the United States from Iraq, a question that the Iraqi government was already considering before the strike occurred. This would be a huge, worldwide humiliation for America.
Considering the tangled alliances in the Middle East, and that Soleimani controlled Iranian foreign policy across the region, we very well could be looking at a Franz Ferdinand, 1914 moment.
I have been watching the Middle East intently for 25 years now, and this is one of the most frightening set of circumstances I have ever seen.
What happens next no one can reliably predict, but one thing is for sure - something is going to happen. When, where and how? We will just have to wait and see.

I am a character enmeshed within swirling vortices of space-time. I am a character aware of myself as a shadow, sensing the stranger who portrays me. I was comfortable as a shadow. I felt emboldened as my lesser dimensional self, assured in the power of my actions and secure within linear time, before knowledge of my actor. Our lovely masque is crystalized and made molten.
In keeping with Morton's ideas, the works in Real Things About Real Things speak directly to a reality that exists without foreground or background—a reality where all things are deeply entangled and are constantly both acting and being acted upon. Morton writes, "We have no world because the objects that functioned as invisible scenery have dissolved." How can one maintain a sense of agency upon recognizing that separation from our environment is an illusion? What ethical and moral dilemma do living without a world pose? Does this knowledge enable transcendence, or threaten to deliver a break from reality?

We get lots of questions about the maxi dress: Is it appropriate for all occasions? How do I wear it? What's the right length for my height? Somehow, the maxi dress has become a bit of a fashion mystery, but it doesn't have to be. We think it's an ideal piece for casual/dressy and day/night when styled well.
In addition, the long, loose fit of a maxi dress is super comfortable and flattering for many body types. It's forgiving in the way of high-waisted bottoms or peplum tops; it smoothes over our most sensitive areas. Especially in black! We've chosen the Mila Maxi Dress in Back by LoveStitch as a base layer to three styled summer looks: 1) Workday Casual, 2) Date Night, and 3) Weekend Brunch with the Girls.
For a relaxed professional twist, we've styled the basic maxi dress with a Valencia Ribbed Cotton Longline Bralette in Heather Gray by Skin to provide some coverage in the front, and the cute criss-cross straps will show under the deep V on the back of the dress. An unstructured jacket, such as the Bouclè Jersey Boyfriend Blazer in Ivory by Topshop, adds lots of polish without much effort when the A/C is blasting, and the Mamuye Leather Tote in Dusty Rose by Able is a fantastic work bag to hold your laptop and paper files. The Frida Clog on Mid Wedge in Midnight by No.6 is luxury comfort in a shoe, and tie in the pink tones of your Able tote with the Factor statement earring in Pink Acetate by Rachel Comey.
Other than the maxi dress, of course, to be honest we found these Brazil-made Dail Heels in Orange by Schutz and pretty much based the whole outfit around them because they are so fabulous! For date night, we're going dressier and sexier. Keeping the arms and deep V-neck bared, stay simple with a natural Box Clutch in Tortoise by Sea Lily and coordinating Hoop Earrings in Tortoise by J. Crew. The lariat-style Knotshine Necklace in Gold Ox by Madewell is a dainty pop of metallic with a long center chain that pairs well with a deep V-neck.
We're channeling island time for our summer brunch look with the maxi dress. The Lightweight Cape Scarf in Cobalt by J. Crew is a perfect one-size outer layer that can come off or go back on, depending on if you sit on the patio or inside. When you're meeting the girls, you have to wear fun and funky shoes because they will be your most adoring audience! The Panarea Slide Sandals in Sand by Soludos x Anthropologie should do the trick. Stuff all the essentials–phone, keys, cards, lipstick–into the Canvas Drawstring Purse in Natural by Baggu, and define your waist with the Maui Straw Wrap belt in Lux by Sans Arcidet. It will surely flatter by creating negative space against the cape scarf.


The beautiful, layered, haunting Little Scream will be starting things off at Emo's tomorrow night. Little Scream is actually a solo artist signed to Secretly Canadian but she, generally, has a band backing her up. Her songs are layered, emotional and will leave you wanting more. I'm not, precisely, sure on set times for tomorrow night but I would guess that Little Scream will start at 10, possibly 9:30 and The Antlers will begin around 11pm. That's what I'm hoping anyway because I'll be working until at least 9pm and I really want to see both artists.


Nothing special. Before retrofit work began, this 1978 ranch house on the shore of Squam Lake was an ordinary fiberglass-insulated energy hog.
Image Credit: Ben Southworth The view is to the north. Since most of its windows face north — the direction of the lake views — the Squam Lake house breaks a basic rule of passive solar design. The photo shows the north-facing sliding-glass doors before retrofit work began.

Jane Bindley had a dream: to turn her 1978 ranch in central New Hampshire into a net-zero-energy house. How hard could that be?
As it turned out, pretty hard. But with help from a dedicated team of experts and a generous budget, Bindley achieved her dream.
Can a north-facing house be net-zero?
Bindley chose her team wisely. She hired a New Hampshire company, Garland Mill Timberframes, to renovate her home. Ben Southworth from Garland Mill is an experienced design/build contractor. When it came time to choose an energy consultant, Southworth advised Bindley to select Marc Rosenbaum, one of the most experienced designers of net-zero-energy homes in the country.
The house sits on the shore of Squam Lake, with a spectacular view of the lake to the north. Most of the home's windows face the view. "We were killed from a solar perspective," said Southworth. "The house is up against a big hill on the south side, and the hill has tall trees. We put as many PV panels as we could on the south roof. Since we were aiming for net-zero energy, the PV array defined what our heat load had to be." The house ended up with a 7.5-kW PV system.
The home's vinyl siding and roof shingles were stripped and the interior of the house was gutted. Most of the materials removed from the house were recycled or reused.
Adopting the "chainsaw retrofit" approach, Southworth and Rosenbaum decided to cut off the home's roof overhangs. Once the seams between the existing sheathing panels were sealed with peel-and-stick tape, the roof and all of the exterior walls were covered with new 6 1/2-inch-thick structural insulated panels (SIPs). The urethane-insulated SIPs are rated at R-35.
Wrapping the home with SIPs was unusual; many builders would have simply wrapped the house with 6 inches of rigid foam. But Southworth is an experienced timber-framer who prefers to use techniques with which he is familiar — and he's used SIPs for years.
Once the SIPs were attached to the framing and sealed at the seams with spray foam, the house already had a pretty decent thermal envelope. But Southworth and Rosenbaum weren't done. The next step was to fill the 2×6 stud walls with closed-cell spray polyurethane foam, bringing the R-value of the walls up to R-52. The rafters were sprayed with foam until the roof totaled R-73, while the basement walls were sprayed to achieve R-42. The basement floor was insulated with R-25 of rigid foam.
All of the existing windows were replaced with triple-glazed fiberglass windows from Thermotech. Although Rosenbaum tried to talk Bindley into reducing the area of north-facing glass, she didn't want to give up her dramatic lake view — so most of the home's glazing still faces north.
Taping the exterior sheathing and spraying the interior with polyurethane foam created a very tight building envelope. Rosenbaum used a theatrical fog machine to track down a few stubborn leakage paths.
A pre-retrofit blower door test put the home's air leakage rate at 4,000 cfm at 50 Pascals. After retrofit work was complete, a second blower-door test showed that the house was now Passivhaus-tight, with a leakage rate of only 330 cfm at 50 Pascals.
What kind of heat pump is most cost-effective?
The house has two heat sources: a wood stove and a water-to-water ground-source heat pump. The in-floor hydronic distribution system uses 95°F water circulating through PEX tubing. Since the water temperature is significantly lower than the temperature for some radiant floors — especially staple-up systems, which sometimes require 130°F or 140°F water — the heat pump's efficiency is much higher than it would be if it needed to raise the water to a higher temperature.
Ductless minisplit air-source heat pumps are much less expensive than ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs). Although a ductless minisplit requires a little more electricity to operate than a GSHP, a net-zero-energy house can provide the necessary electricity by specifying a somewhat larger PV array than would be needed for a GSHP. The cost of the extra PV modules is generally much less than the incremental cost of a GSHP compared to a ductless minisplit unit.
The limited area available for the PV array favored a heating system that used as little electricity as possible.
Japanese ductless minisplits rated for below-zero outdoor temperatures were not available in the U.S. when the Bindley project was under construction.
Since domestic hot water needs to be at a higher temperature than the water circulating through the radiant floor, the domestic hot water system is entirely separate from the space heating system. The two roof-mounted solar thermal collectors are connected to two hot water storage tanks; backup heat is provided by an electric resistance element.
Utility bills confirm that in 2009, Bindley's renovated house produced 1,732 kWh more electricity than it used. The extra electricity more than balanced the small amount of firewood (0.2 cord) that Bindley burned. That means that the Bindley house is one of only a handful of U.S. homes able to document 12 months of net-zero-energy performance.
The home's exceptional thermal envelope.
The fact that Bindley covers her windows with movable R-7 foam-filled insulation panels at night.
The fact that the home is only occupied for about half the year.
Although Bindley sends more energy to the grid than she consumes, she still pays electric bills of $21.41 a month; that's the minimum fee collected by the local utility, regardless of usage.
Now that the U.S. Department of Energy is informing builders to prepare for a transition to zero-energy design and construction standards, it's worth contemplating the steepness of the road ahead.
Bindley's house is an exciting example of elegant engineering, but it cost an arm and a leg. Her insulation package cost $110,000; her PV array cost $60,000; her windows cost $37,000; her Warmboard subflooring cost $20,000. I was unable to obtain cost figures for other major components, including the ground-source heat pump (which may have cost upwards of $30,000) and the solar thermal system (which probably cost at least $10,000).
"Depending on how you crunch the numbers, the house cost between $350 and $400 a square foot," said Southworth. In other words, Bindley's deep-energy retrofit cost at least $1,190,000.
One striking lesson from the Bindley job: if you're aiming to build a net-zero-energy home in a cold climate, your envelope is going to end up looking like a Passivhaus envelope. Although some writers have contrasted the Passivhaus design approach with the net-zero-energy approach, in fact the two design approaches show signs of convergent evolution.
To get to the stringent net-zero-energy goal, you need Passivhaus levels of airtightness and Passivhaus levels of insulation — at least if you expect to fit all of the necessary PV modules on your roof.
Another lesson: if you're aiming for net-zero energy, renovation may cost more than new construction.
For energy nerds, the Bindley job is likely to represent the very archetype, the exemplar, the Platonic ideal of the perfect energy-retrofit job. Jane Bindley didn't want to build a mansion; she just wanted to turn her 1978 ranch into a zero-energy home, and she had the budget to make it happen.
Interesting approach, thanks for sharing. Is there a way to see more after pictures?
I'm expecting to receive some more photos from Ben Southworth soon. Right now I don't have the photos you request. As soon as they're available, I'll post them to this blog.
This is more of a question for Marc Rosenbaum if he comes back to the post. I was wondering about Marc's decision making process regarding the insulation of the basement. R-40 is very high and would most likely increase the number of freeze/thaw cycles experienced by the concrete. What was the mitigation strategy (leaving an unexposed area at the top of the wall for example) that was applied here? A discussion of assessing risk to basement walls when doing an insulation job with closed cell foam would be helpful.
Is cold concrete at risk?
I'm not aware of any study that shows that interior basement insulation damages a concrete foundation. After all, think about all of the outbuildings, sheds and unheated barns with poured concrete crawl space or basement foundations — as long as the footings are below frost depth, these foundations are not generally damaged by cold weather.
With closed cell spray foam in the stud cavities, is it necessary to tape the exterior sheathing joints? Perhaps at the rim joist area, but for the rest of the wall?
Kyle - no issues that I know of with concrete, as Martin has responded.
Brett - belt and suspenders on this project, because there's a fixed energy budget, and we needed it to get really tight. We're making buildings under 1 ACH50 by taping the sheathing. Spray foam helps but there are plenty of places the foam doesn't get to so it alone won't easily get you to a really tight building.
Did you seal the roof deck joints as well?
And it appears in one the posted pictures that you used a primer (wet areas around the taped joints) before you applied the Grace Vycor strips.
Martin, this is a great article! Brett, we used a Grace primer that Marc recommended to us. I still have a couple of gallons if you want to buy it from me! The reason I still have it is that we are now using Zip wall peel-and-stick wherever possible because of the excellent adhesion. Obviously on windows and doors the Grace is a little more robust especially with fasteners, but for seams it is all Zip tape without primer now.
Thank you for the response Ben.
How much did you spend to tape the sheathing joints (walls only)?
I am trying to calculate the amount of tape in linear feet needed for wall joints on a 3,000-ish square foot home.
And when you say you are now using Zip wall peel and stick, are you using this tape on regular OSB sheathing?
Given the no holds barred approach to insulation in this project, I wonder why the decision to insulate from inside was taken. a similarly airtight construction could have been achieved with polyisocyanurate or type IX rigid insulation. The added benefit of thermal mass inside the building could have provided some advantages. I suppose costs of excavation could have eliminated this as an option (although given the overall budget I'm not so sure...). Curious. Nice post.
I've done a few gut rehabs to very low HERS scores, however I'm still intrgued why you selected to use SIPS other than you are more comfortable with it. Did you do a cost analisys with other sytems or methods. Can you please elaborate? Forgive me if I'm asking too much, I do fing this job interesting, but too many questions left out.
2. You said that the client "covers her windows with movable R-7 foam-filled insulation panels at night." Never heard of such a thing. Would love some explanation.
3. A 7.5 Kw PV system....that is a huge system. I thought the solar exposure was minimal? How many panels is that? Approximate square footage? Was it installed somewhere away from the structure? $60,000 costs...is that the actual costs....or does that include any rebates?
It was Ben Southworth, not Marc Rosenbaum, who preferred using SIPs to rigid foam. Southworth is a timber-framer who has a lot of experience with SIPs.
Here's one advantage to SIPs (at least for the roof): if you're doing a chainsaw retrofit, it's easier to recreate the rake and eave overhangs with SIPs than it is to tack on framing made of 2-bys.
1. The Warmboard subfloor allowed the use of low-temperature water. That decision made the GSHP much more efficient.
2. You've never heard of movable nighttime window insulation panels? Ed, you must be a young guy. They were all the rage back in the 1970s, when the hippies and solar fanatics (I was one of them) were building experimental low-energy houses. Most people got tired of the twice-a-day chore pretty quickly.
3. No PV rebates were available in New Hampshire when this house was built, so $60,000 is the full cost and the net cost. It's not a huge system for a net-zero-energy house — in fact it's on the low side. Try to do better! I don't think you can sharpen your pencil any better than Marc Rosenbaum.
Solar exposure was not minimal; it was actually pretty good, with just a little wintertime shading. Wintertime shading doesn't matter too much. You don't make much electricity in New Hampshire in the winter anyway.
When you said, "the SIPs were attached to the framing…" as in a "floating wall"? No saddle footings? How were they attached? What type of final cladding? I'm looking forward to the final pics.
I was not doubting Marc's PV calculations. I have 18 PV panels on my roof for a 2.5 Kw system in sunny CA. It just seemed like a large surface area would be needed for a 7.5 Kw system, probably more southward facing rooftop than even a 3500 square foot home has available. But maybe not?
And hey, I actually am not that young, but maybe younger than you.....but obviously, a little under-informed about such labor intensive insulating devices.
I have just posted a detail (Image #5) the shows how the wall SIPs were attached to the existing house.
That's pretty cool. I could have used this technique several years a go. I used a saddle footing and we framed a wall next to the existing wall. The footing part was a pain. This is a good alternative.
Is the steel L Bracket continuous or is it a series of short brackets?
Either way it ...Is it not a significant thermal short circuit from the rim joist to the outside?
Most people use the terms "thermal bridge" or "thermal short circuit" to refer to a building component that conducts heat from the interior conditioned space to the exterior. But the steel L bracket you are referring to conducts heat from the exterior to the exterior — it's hardly a "thermal short circuit."
The bracket is nowhere near the interior of the building or the conditioned space. The interior side of the rim joist is massively insulated with closed-cell spray polyurethane foam.
If the steel angle is not continuous then it seems to be "not-so-bad"
The interior of the rim joist does "appear" to be massively insulated in the illustration.
What if you take a section cut thru the floor joists instead of thru the cavity?
Cavity insulation alone at the rim joist does not address thermal bridging....Eh?
The outsulation at the rim joist seems to be "bypassed" by the highly conductive steel.
Wondering what ventilation systems were used on this project.; both IAQ and roof ventilation, etc. used?
Check the specs: mechanical ventilation is provided by a Renewaire energy-recovery ventilator.
Since the roofing is standing-seam metal over SIPs, I don't believe there is any roof cavity ventilation.
Joe's "Clint Eastwood" examples -- the bad and the ugly -- show continuous steel brackets continuously attached to a concrete slab at room temperature.
I think it's a stretch to say this is the same as a steel bracket which, every 16 or 24 inches, is adjacent to a narrow section of wood sheathing contacting a narrow 1 1/2-inch-wide area of framing that is in contact with room-temperature air about 7 or 9 inches back from the bracket, where the floor joist finally emerges from the foam.
It was just not clear from the illustration.
Are there any photos of this detail?
Wow, this is an amazing post. The level of detail is terrific - and the story really demonstrates the investment required to get to net zero. Not to diminish this effort, truly, I think we Americans are going to have to come to terms that in our new future, a 3,400 s.f. house that costs $1.19 million to retrofit -- will be known as a mansion. Or, do you think that over time, the costs will come down by a factor of 10 so that we can truly afford this kind of retrofit?
This is NOT a typical net-zero remodel. There are mamy, many 1,500-2,000 sf net-zero homes built to reasonable costs (±$30K-$50k) in NM, AZ and CA. You do not have to spend $1MM to get there. For what I can tell, her major costs to net-zero were around ±$300K or 25%-35% of the entire cost; which is typical to the up-costs of a net-zero home. We don't know how many other amenities and finishes she had installed in this project.
Although Armando is correct that most of the cost of this retrofit is not attributable to energy improvements, the cost to bring the house to net-zero performance was nevertheless breathtaking. I don't think the cost of this type of retrofit is ever going to come down by a factor of 10.
The fact is, builders interested in superinsulation retrofits have been performing this type of work since the early 1980s. We know the costs, and they are very high.
For net-zero-energy performance, you're going to pay $42,000 to $70,000 just for the PV array. That doesn't cover envelope improvements.
Please provide more details on a house with only $30,000 of incremental cost that can demonstrate 12 months of net-zero-energy performance. Until I see more information, count me a skeptic.
Which Half of the Year?
Do you know which half of the year the home is mostly occupied?
Is it a weekend retreat or a summer home?
Were the windows covered with insulated panels every night AND during the unoccupied half of the year?
The house is occupied three or four days a week, year round.
The windows are covered at night during the winter, but not during the summer. I imagine that the north windows are insulated (night and day) when the home is unoccupied during the winter, but I'm not sure.
I've been in many presentations at green building conferences and events by ConSol and the Davis Group in CA, Artistic Homes in NM, John Wesley Miller in Tucson, BSC, Steve Winter's group, DOE, the Building America and ORNL have demonstrated homes around the country they've been working on affordable NZs for years. Even our buddy Peter did many presentations several years a go about affordable NZs in his BSC days and after. The UCF in FL, they've been working on NZs for a long time, at one time they had a website you could look in real time all their data. I'm sure contacting all of them would be happy to give you details.
None of the builders or researchers you list have made a net-zero energy home (mind you, I insist on 12 months of documented net-zero performance -- no firewood, no unaccounted for natural gas) that I am aware of. Correct me if I'm wrong by giving me the address of the home and the name of the responsible builder or researcher.
Thank you, Martin and Armando, for your responses. I would be really interested in anywhere you could point me that would document how to get to net zero -- in the most affordable way possible. I have this thing about "marginal rate of utility" of each dollar spent being a factor. That is, I am very cognizant of payback times and effective use of our collective (often: incentivized) spending to get at the problem as effectively as possible. I have read... and it kind of makes sense to me... that money is a proxy for carbon. That is, the low-hanging (inexpensive) fruit can be the most... fruitful. That said, I recognize that LCA is really likely the barometer. Anyway, I diverge. Re: affordable net-zero, I am looking for the specific details to get there today. I have been looking and looking online. So far, this website is the best I can find. But I still cannot find detailed "how to's." To be sure, there seem to have been great strides in products in the past year. But I having a devil of a time piecing it all together. Thank you!
Here's the basic method: choose a good energy modeling program and run the simulations with many iterations of the house. Each iteration will need to be costed out, at least roughly.
Then you get to compare the energy performance of the different iterations. What happens if you add $5,000 more insulation to the attic? Is the performance better or worse than a house with $5,000 of additional PV modules?
What happens if you switch from double to triple glazing? Is the $10,000 incremental cost worthwhile?
NREL's BeOPT program (not yet widely available) sounds useful. But really, a good designer needs to become comfortable running these energy simulations and costing out the various construction options. Sometimes you have to just sharpen your pencil and do the math.
Thank you, Martin. I'm a newbie here as you can surely tell. Your other blog posts - on super insulation and the energy efficiency pyramid are exactly what I am looking for, too. I've been online searching for about 10 days and finally landed here -- exactly where I wanted to be. Many thanks!
Interesting article. Not for the average homeowner. Good things to take from the retrofit but overall this is at the top of the buying pyramid for both existing and new. Glad to know someone's got money.
A very informative and interesting article.
From 80,000 ft, we are at an early stage in the evolution of Net-Zero construction techniques and technologies, and more importantly -- demand.
Here's another way to look at this project's cost. Assuming that the project cost $1,190,000, how else could the money have been spent?
Let's say that no energy retrofit work was performed. But perhaps Jane Bindley still wanted to spruce the place up. (Perhaps the 1970s shag carpeting and avacado appliances had to go.) So let's provide a budget that is 50% of the original budget to upgrade the interior finishes. That's $595,000 -- enough to make the interior spiffy -- very spiffy.
Remember, we haven't improved the energy performance of the house yet. Instead, we take the remainder of the original project budget -- the other $595,000 -- and invest it in a long-term investment that yields 4% interest. How much does that nest egg generate? Well, it generates $23,800 a year -- forever.
Do you think that $23,800 per year is enough to pay the energy bills on a ranch house? I think it probably is.
See PPT on this home at: http://www.affordablecomfort.org/ Look under ACI Initiatives, then Thousand Home Challenge, then case studies (4th or 5th link down the page).
Of course it's hard to make the financial argument. But hopefully the lessons we learn from projects like this will help push things along, will help us make the goals more affordable.
Nice article for an unlimited budget. The insulation package could have been done much less expensive and still achieve good R values. 4 inches of foam on the outside and flash and batt on the inside would get the walls to 45 or so. This also helps with the water plane. Spray foam the ceilings to 7 inches provides a good air seal and R 49, which is in the new 2009 energy code. The basement insulation in my view is overdone. I think what we need to understand is that air sealing is more important than insulation values. If we approached a retrofit from the air sealing point of view and was on a budget, we would be sure to air seal first and then insulate the best we can. PV systems have to be sized to the use, however its not a good idea to oversize a system in NH as putting excess energy on the grid is not paid.
Kudos to Southworth and Rosenbaum for doing what they could with what they were dealt.
It seems to me that the will of the homeowner may have been the component that drove the price tag off the scale.
No wonder the levels of insulation and the price sound so ridiculous.
Bindley threw a lot of money at this but did not set a good example for others.
Getting a home as efficient as possible is the first step... and then building the power plant is the second and very expensive next step. Making sure the homeowner doesn't install the $25 beer fridge from 1979 in the garage that makes the home not net zero is the 3rd step.
On another note the different energy modeling programs give different opinions on how to estimate the near-zero for a building.... I feel that modeling pv output is much easier than modeling average person-habits and energy use within a building... but basing expensive decisions off the numbers can be problematic when we cant decide on which numbers to use!
Check out this presentation comparing some energy modeling tools... depending on which one you choose your home can have a very different 'estimated' energy use!
An interesting presentation -- thanks for the link.
If the building envelope was built to a PassivHaus standard, why was such an expensive mechanical system chosen? One of the big arguments for spending money on the envelope is to save money on mechanical systems, especially with PassivHaus. Were the large expanses of north facing glass a determining factor?
1. This house may have an excellent thermal envelope, but it made no attempt to comply with the Passivhaus standard.
2. Unlike most Passivhaus buildings, this home had the goal of generating all of its annual energy requirements using a rooftop PV array. That goal drove Marc to specify a ground-source heat pump -- which, as you correctly point out, is probably the most expensive equipment ever invented for heating a house.
3. The idea that Passivhaus buildings have low-cost mechanical equipment is somewhat of a myth. Every Passivhaus building I have ever studied includes a space heating system. It's quite common for a Passivhaus building to have a mechanical ventilation system incorporating an HRV, as well as an air-source heat pump and (often) an elaborate domestic hot water system, sometimes including an expensive solar thermal system.
I have to say the Architecture is very nice.

Mark Zuckerberg's April appearances before Congress provided those who don't often watch hearings with a rude awakening as to the (lack of) tech savvy among many on Capitol Hill. Stories were written; memes were made.
But for TechCongress, a year-long fellowship that places technologists in the offices of members of Congress, the spectacle was also an opportunity — a rare moment when wide public consciousness was focused on the need for more tech expertise on the Hill.
Now, TechCongress just needs the lawmakers themselves to view in-house tech expertise as a necessity, rather than a luxury.
This is the upshot of an analysis of the impact of the program, conducted by policy expert David Shorr and funded by the Ford Foundation. Shorr interviewed 10 current and former Congressional Innovation Fellows, as well as seven managers, to understand how successful the fellows have been in contributing to office policy.
The results are heartening — both fellows and their managers seem to view the experience as valuable. Fellows can get up-and-running pretty quickly (though a general understanding of policy does help) and start writing letters, attending in-office meetings or commissioning studies as ways to influence policymaking.
The vehemence with which interviewees believed this surprised Shorr. "It's not that that is an unusual idea," he told FedScoop in an interview. "It has the ring of truth to be sure." But Shorr had expected to find that certain member interest areas or assignments pushed that member's office to bring in a fellow. Instead, he found broad appreciation for what tech expertise can mean.
On the other hand, a perennial initiative to bring back the Office of Technology Assessment — which provided members of Congress with reports on tech and science issues until it was shut down in 1995 — failed once again this summer.
The results also helped to direct some changes he'll make with future cohorts — including a very early focus on placing fellows where they will have the best chance of success, and doubling down on the already-existing policy skills trainings.
In its three years of operation, TechCongress has hosted 13 fellows. Two former fellows have gone on to stay as permanent staff in an office — the ultimate demonstration of success for the program. TechCongress is currently recruiting for its fourth cohort.
Another organization — a Democratic political action committee called 314 Action — wants to take the issue on from the top-down, working to bring more tech-savvy lawmakers into Congress.

TV psychic John Edward, of Crossing Over with John Edward fame is crossing over into another dimension through a deal with Studios USA Programming to develop a primetime drama series to be aired fall 2002 Edward, who hosts the ever popular Sci-Fi Channel series "Crossing Over With John Edward," will play a man who wrestles with the ramifications of his psychic gift, leaving a career in medicine to examine his spirituality and how it intersects with the law. Edward is co-creator of the untitled project, produced through his JECO Prods. Banner and Studios USA, also home to "Crossing Over." Edwards' manager/producing partner Gina Rugolo will be a co-executive producer. Edward has gained fame as a medium during the past few years on the strength of his television series and best-selling books "One Last Time" and "What If God Were the Sun?". "Crossing Over" was a hit for Sci-Fi from its debut in July 2000, and it ranks as the top new strip of the 2001-02 season since it premiered in syndication in August 2001 The Long Island, N.Y. native maintains that he became aware of his psychic abilities while in his teens. Edward's TV show revolves around his efforts to reunite guests with deceased loved ones who have "crossed over."
This TV psychic from Long Island did not foretell his own cancellation and he went down like the ceramic-potters-wheel scene in Ghost - quick and messy. Critics called him out for not being a bona fide psychic, and instead an expert on simply "cold reading". Notably, John Edward was crowned as "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" in South Park for providing families false hope.
