Home Voices Comedy Goodbye Harold Ramis
Goodbye Harold Ramis
Joshua Silverman
Never before have I been tasked with writing a goodbye to a person of celebrity-status. Never before have I even considered writing such a thing. Celebrity deaths have never been of much interest to me; how does it matter anymore than when a "regular" person dies. As a person who doesn't much care when said regular people die either, you can see why something like this would normally fall outside my purview.
Then shortly after I awoke this morning I came upon the news that Harold Ramis, one of the most successful filmmakers in the realm of comedy, had died. I found myself sitting at my desk for a solid five minutes unable to function, unable to think clearly. Harold Ramis, the man who directed three of the greatest comedies of all time in National Lampoon's Vacation, Caddyshack, and Groundhog Day, the man who wrote, or was a member of the writers of National Lampoon's Animal House, Stripes, and frelling Ghostbusters, how was this man dead? Holy shit, how could he possibly be dead?
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzaQjS1JstY&feature=youtu.be]
Harold Ramis is obviously also known for playing Dr. Egon Spengler in the classic Ghostbusters films; a film close to the hearts of most every film fan out there. Personally, I didn't see Ghostbusters for the first time until maybe six years ago — I know, I'm the worst person in history; I get this a lot — but still, even at 23 or so years old it still had a profound impact on me. It didn't hurt that despite my non-viewing of the film during my childhood, I was still acutely aware of its existence. Hell, I've always known the name "Egon", granted that was in part because of the cartoon series which I caught now and again as a child. That is when I wasn't terrified, huddling behind a pillow. (Look, I was an easily startled child; no I'm not proud of it.)
Even if I was unaware of Ghostbusters in of itself, I was still aware of Harold Ramis. His was one of the first names I learned in the realm of "behind the scenes people" for films. One of my parents even dragged me along to see Analyze This in my early teens simply due to the fact that Ramis was directing the film. In my early adulthood I remember watching Knocked Up in theaters and laughing, maybe silently cheering, when Ramis showed up as the father of Seth Rogan's character. Hell, it was the only thing I honestly enjoyed about that movie, due in part to the fact that I somehow thought Ramis had died years earlier; a memory that is doubly painful now.
If you've made it through this slightly rambling memorial, I thank you. The truth is that like many of you, Harold Ramis held a special place in my heart, one that will not be easy to fill. I know many people are now saddened because they feel it puts a final nail in the coffin that is Ghostbusters III, but the truth is that we should be further saddened for other projects the man may have had running around his mind.
If anyone needs me I'll be sitting on the couch, struggling to decide which of his films I wish to watch today.
For further thoughts on Harold Ramis, we provide you some thoughts from Twitter:

If a Twinkie represents amount of grief I feel when someone dies, Harold Ramis' death would be a Twinkie 35 feet long weighing 600 pounds.

Harold Ramis, dead at 69. Exhibit #984,225,642,095,423 in the case that I'm an asshole.
— God (@TheTweetOfGod) February 24, 2014
If you're my age and got into comedy, Harold Ramis was one of the reasons. Life is fast and over too soon.

Louis Rene Beres
Staying Alive: Israel In An Age Of 'Martyrdom'
Everyone who reads newspapers should know at least one thing. Threats to annihilate Israel have always been unremarkable. Almost never, it seems, have Israel's existential enemies sought any reason for concealment.
Significantly, in this connection, if not for Israel's "bomb in the basement" – its still-unacknowledged nuclear force – these openly genocidal threats could already have been actualized. Were it not for Israel's "ambiguous" nuclear ace in the hole, such threats would likely have represented substantially more than verbal bluster or unheroic bravado.
This utterly critical point is not widely recognized or understood. Today, the common goal of all Israel's Islamist enemies is still Jewish extermination. This grotesque goal remains unhidden. In perhaps the bitterest of ironies, therefore, our ancient nation that was ingathered and reborn to prevent another Holocaust has become the uncamouflaged focus of yet another Final Solution.
In essence, the goal of all Israel's Islamist enemies, especially Iran and the Palestinian "state," is to be left standing while Israel is made to disappear. For these determinedly lascivious enemies, there can be no coexistence with Israel. Ever.
The reason, as I have pointed out here before, is not a matter of pragmatic politics or convenience. It is, rather, a matter of irremediable core doctrine. It is because, religiously, their own survival requires Israel's extinction.
In Washington, President Obama still does not understand. Repeatedly, ritualistically, almost on cue, Obama extols the alleged virtues of a very twisted and sinister cartography. In the fashion of his equally misguided predecessors (let us not forget the earlier errors of Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush), Obama ostentatiously favors a Road Map to Peace in the Middle East.
Viscerally, it is a pleasing metaphor. Like the misconceived and ill-fated Oslo Agreements that came before, this one-sided plan is ultimately premised on Israel's coerced acceptance of land for nothing. At best, it is a dreadful cliché, a humiliating self-parody. Nothing more.
Notwithstanding Obama's cheerful belief in progress, it would be a fatal mistake for Israel to believe that reason and justice govern the world; a grievous error for Israel to continue to project its own Western, rational, and humane sentiments upon the most relentless and barbarous jihadist foes. It would assuredly be a "life risk" for Israel to seek to endure by continuing to cling to numbingly false promises, and to manifestly false hopes.
Far better, among other security-maximizing steps, to enhance deterrence by ending nuclear ambiguity. Far better to bring the Israeli bomb out of the "basement."
Barack Obama will not save Israel. Hillary Clinton will not save Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu will not save Israel.
Once Iran has decided to launch nuclear missiles at Israel – at the very least a plausible prospect in just a few years – Washington's only real assistance would be to help Jerusalem bury the dead. For this, whole Israeli cities would first have to be transformed into cemeteries. Here, with grudging assistance from the "international community," Israel would become the world's largest and most enthusiastically stocked necropolis.
Whether in Gaza, the West Bank or Tehran, Israel's jihadist enemies wish to kill Jews because every such homicide is felt to be a sacred obligation. For these enemies, killing Jews is an indisputably praiseworthy expression of religious sacrifice. Specifically, such killing is expected to confer immunity from personal death. What could be better?
The idea of death as a zero-sum commodity – "I kill you; I therefore remain alive forever" – has rarely been explained elsewhere. It is captured perfectly, however, in Ernest Becker's graphic and meticulously primal paraphrase of Nobel Laureate Elias Canetti: "Each organism raises its head over a field of corpses, smiles into the sun, and declares life good."
To stay alive, Israel must finally understand what psychologist Otto Rank had earlier revealed in his Will Therapy and Truth and Reality: "The death fear of the ego is lessened by the killing, the Sacrifice, of the other; through the death of the other one buys oneself free from the penalty of dying, of being killed." This admittedly difficult insight is at the very heart of Islamist orientations to Israel. Indeed, it explains almost everything Israel needs to know about these unambiguously genocidal orientations.
Israel's enemies, in order to remain standing, and to prevent Israel from standing up, seek to sacrifice the Jewish state on a (literally) bloodstained altar of war and terrorism. Sacrifice is now deeply central and elemental to what is evolving in the Middle East. The hoped-for destruction of Israel is integrally part of a system of religious worship, one directed toward an enhancement of life, and, simultaneously, to the authentically sublime conquest of personal death.

You know that one thing in your closet that only comes out when you know for sure spring is here for real? The garment that says, Hello, sunshine. I missed you. The item that waits patiently all year for its seasonal debut on a day so hot, two-minute downpours are greeted with open arms. This patch pocket linen dress has become that for me.
I made it at the end of last summer just when I was getting my sewing groove back. The faux floral, watercolor-y look of the fabric (and the 40% off sign) seduced me to the cutting counter at Joann's where I found it. They always have a great selection of linen that I do my part to make a dent in every season.
With my go-to princess seam bodice (Simplicity 2648) and dirndl skirt (McCall's 6503) patterns, I managed to sew a drama-free dress when my skills were still rusty. Well, there was a bit of drama when I sewed the side seams of the skirt, forgetting the in-seam pockets I'd cut out. The white stitching thread blended into the fabric like it was part of the weave and any attempt at unpicking the seams caused instant whatthafuckery and angst. After a couple of deep breaths of acceptance, though, I improvised a set of lined patch pockets for the front of the skirt.
The neckline and armholes are lined with ready-made bias binding and the rest of the seams are overlocked. Simple construction for a simple day dress whose job is to accessorize an already gorgeous spring or summer day. With a belted cardigan (I have at least three that match!), the dress can goes from picnic-ready to office-ready. With sneakers and a denim jacket, I'm ready for a day of local site-seeing.
The sun is no longer playing hard to get, we've had our first week of 60 degree plus weather, and everything is blooming. I like to think that me and my patch pocket linen dress are the welcoming committee.
What do you wear to kick off the warm weather season?
This entry was posted in Somethings Sewn and tagged linen, sewing blogger, spring dress. Bookmark the permalink.
looooooooove those patch pockets, such a summery dress! my favorite is my derby maxi dress, it's all shades of yellow & orange, and totally signifies the end of the cold to me.
You know, I was just thinking about the Derby. Almost dismissed it, but it's so damn breezy and darling, I might have to give it a go.
Your bodice fits like a glove. Gorgeous dress to ring in warm weather.
Thanks, Melizza. Though I giggled at the thought of wearing gloves in this heat.
Crikey Najah, the fit on your bazookas is amaaaazing! Well done, you are rocking' this look. I can't think about warm weather. My hands are so cold its making typing very difjgfkt! Give me a blanket and a hot water bottle right now!
Ha! My bazookas!. Thank you.
I always think of you folks when we're sweating and you're shivering. But then it reverses and I loathe the sight of all those southern hemisphere bikinis when I'm knee deep in snow.
Looks wonderful, the pockets are great.
Oh the fit, that bodice is perfect, and she said she was rusty!
I never know when to get out my "Welcome Spring" dresses. Our weather here is so crazy.


Trossen Robotics Community > Robotics > Project Showcase > [Project] Coil Gun school project.
View Full Version : [Project] Coil Gun school project.
This was meant as a school project to engage my mind, challenge, and help me teach others about electronics whilst I am still learning it myself.
currently we have a glass tube with one coil, firing a 20mm x 5mm (round) mild steel slug.
The coil is a 20 awg (?) clear insulated copper wire, turned onto a custom made spindle at slow rpm (on a lathe to get turns accurate). 65 turns long, and 30 turns high, making it a total of 1950 copper turns.
Have one MOSFET hooked up to two power supplies. those powersupplies are in series, so we have 22.8V at 6.58A max. Currently the MOSFET is allowing 750mA at 22.8V through it, so tomorrow I am wiring up another two power supplies and another MOSFET to get the current going.
Its quite pathetic as the slug is only moving 5cm max, but switching it manually gives us upwards of one metre, so that is the reason for the getting more power supplies.
some photos that i said i would post. I have four power supplies now, but only the top two are in use as they are meant to be teachers only, "unlimited" supplies.
last week i ended up rewinding the secondary coil, and its awesome.
I stepped up the current from the power supplies to about 5A and ended up burning out the MOSFETS. got the slug firing at around 30ms^-1 exiting teh barrel completely.
have ordered some mofo huge Power FETS @ 169A capacity.
okay... its been about 12 weeks since the last time i touched this beastie.
have some photos to keep you entertained.
Yeah, I know. But maybe 5-7 coils will do the trick. I once made one, but it failed miserably, 'cause I kinda desinged it out of my head. Infact I'm gonna look for a tutorial on Instructables, its got everything on it, from how to care for an aardvark to how to skin a zebra! I'll build it and get it working, someday I will rule the Mech world! Ok, not rule, but dominate in a very ruling fashion :veryhappy:. But I think I will have to make a fairly big Mech to hold the tube + barrel + thousnads/millions of turns of wire. But I have a quick question about this, it's the electro-magnetic force that drives the slug out of the barrel right? Or is it something else? Coz i tried it using the magnetic force thingy. Let's just say that some types of wire are really bad at handling certain voltages... Yeah, my wire was waaaaaay to thin and decided it would commit suicide the explosive way. So i knida forgot about it.
Thanks! I got controller boards etched up and firing correctly - needs to be done a bit more seriously, as I have more important projects on the go which are taking up all my time.
Hmmm don't see why you need lead... we had a 9 farad capacitor firing ours right next to our ICs and didnt skip a beat.
Use some of these for firing, as they will only need a small amount of current to charge.
I know I do not have the greatest understanding of magnetism, but I am not sure how lead could be of much use in shielding the controller from a magnetic field (if it is even necessary at the scale you have built?). If you were concerned about an intense magnetic field causing interference, would you not want a material with a high magnetic permeability to better contain/redirect the field? A piece of steel sheet would probably be more effective than lead (and if you were going for overkill: http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G16600A).
Thanks to way too many wikiwalks and now this thread, I have a powerful urge to complete a coil gun design that will almost certainly end in tears (whether from pain, laughter, or some combination is anyone's guess).


I believe in getting myself and my kids "ready" for the day, every day. My mom was a great example of this to me. Even if it was 4pm and she had been out weeding all day, she would shower, do her hair, and get ready – even if she had no plans to leave the house. I feel it's important to teach kids to do their hair every day, even if they aren't going anywhere public. It's basic hygiene, and it teaches kids to take pride in keeping a proper appearance! BUT…Boy oh boy can it be a pain (literally, for the kid!) and time-eater. I have learned that getting ready doesn't have to take long or be complicated, even with kids! My life changed when my Handy Hair Bag creation was formed, which I will teach you all about today.
For a while I had all my daughter's hair stuff upstairs in the kids' bathroom, where it "should" go. Right? Well…my daughter just turned 3. She dresses herself, but she won't be doing her own hair for a long time. I was hauling the two of us up and down those stairs every morning (with her kicking and screaming, mind you), running late to wherever we were supposed to be headed, just so I could do her hair (…which wouldn't happen many days because I didn't have time or energy to fight her about the matter).
Sure, it might not look like much (seeing as how it was a free bag that carried a Splat Mat my mom once bought me). But trust me…it's a LIFE. SAVER.
I keep it where we actually get ready in the morning – on the main floor of our house, in the thick of all the action, in the hall closet next to the backpacks/coats/shoes where we scramble to grab everything we need as we prepare to leave the house.
I keep the bag in the hall closet for quick grabbing.
Pssst… it's on top of the white sock drawers (more on my hall closet in an upcoming post).
I will grab it and do my kids' hair while they are eating breakfast, while they are putting their shoes on, or more often than not I toss it in the car and do it once we arrive at wherever we need to be.
Doing Priya's hair in a parking lot is a regular occurrence.
I like the oversized bag because everything I need fits in it.
I keep an array of bows, rubber bands, and clips in the bag. Why keep them in a bathroom when I'm doing her hair in the car half the time?
Wide-toothed comb (like THIS ONE ). This is a MUST HAVE for brushing through girls' hair, especially curly, tangly hair like Priya's. I can't imagine trying to take a fine-toothed comb through toddler hair. It would break that poor hair, and would just be miserable for the child. Wide toothed is the way to go. Wide-toothed for president!
Bottle of plain water. Don't be fooled, the red "no more tangles" bottle is actually just filled with plain water. I bought the no more tangles and it didn't work AT ALL. I've learned that kid hair products are basically watered down fruity-smelling money-suckers, to say the least. But it's a great bottle because it doesn't leak, so that's what I use. The water is great for combing through girl's hair (it combs so much easier when wet), and taming cowlicks and making hair behave for boys.
De-tangler and/or leave-in conditioner (like THIS ONE that I like to use because it's only a few dollars and works well). After soaking the heck out of Priya's hair with the water, I will spritz it with the conditioner BEFORE combing through it. Then, once her hair is tangle-free, I spray it a few times all over and "fluff" her curls with my hands to give them some bounce again. It works like a nice finishing spray of sorts.
Gorilla Snot . Sounds gross, looks grosser, but it really is THE BEST hair gel. Ever. This is what I use on my boys. It's only a few bucks (got mine at Walmart), it doesn't flake, you only need a tiny squirt, and it's heavy duty. It holds AAAAAALL day, without being crunchy and too "gel" looking. I put a tiny bit in my fingers and pinch my boys' dry hair in place, as if my fingers were crab claws. I don't spray their hair first or anything…the Gorilla Snot is all you need!
…Hutch's hair after the Gorilla Snot amazingness.
However, I will say this…Priya's hair does best when you wet it down and DON'T have to brush through it. For example, I'll comb it, put her in the tub, then let it dry without combing through it again. The effect is stunning when I don't have to brush through those gorgeous curls!
I know it seems like a simple thing, but this bag has really has saved me so much time and headache. It also helps for when we go places post-nap, because Heaven knows their hair looks all sorts of crazy again after they've slept on it for any length of time. It also makes for quick and easy packing when going on vacation.
I keep Priya's "pretty bows" (aka her large bows that don't fit in the hair bag very well) in the hall closet as well. On the days when I do her hair at home I let her pick out her own bow, since she's particular about matching it with her outfit.
So there you go! Simple tricks that save my life and sanity day after day. This month I am really focusing on learning NEW tricks for keeping my life organized and efficient (seeing as how it's Focus on Learning month, after all).
Do tell…what are some of YOUR simple life-saving tricks?
What a great reminder that while appearances aren't everything, it's important to stress to our kids (and their Mommy) that it is important to take care of ourselves, no matter where the day takes us. Thanks for sharing!!
You better believe I'm giving it a try ASAP – thanks for the recommendation!!!!!
What a great reminder that while appearances aren't everything, it's important to teach our kids (and remind their Mommy) that it is important to take care of ourselves, no matter where the day may take you. Thanks for sharing!!
Deodorant! Haha love it! I'm glad I still have a few years before I have to worry about that. Gulp.
I love that idea. I previously had all of my daughter's hair stuff in the top drawer of her dresser. But she finally can get that drawer open and keeps hiding them all over the house. I think I am going to have to switch to your bag idea. And Rena has those gorgeous curls too. I am always amazed by how big her hair gets after she has slept. It is so funny.
Aren't the curls the best?? I really hope Priya keeps them when she's older. And yes, amazing rat nests happen with even a little nap! It's crazy!
I love this idea so much! Just put our bag together today. I'm always paranoid about my kids getting head lice, so I like to spritz their hair with water with a couple drops of tea tree oil. I hear it's a good way of preventing lice. I included our tea tree oil in the bag and I'll use it for preschool, church nursery, etc. Just a tip!
My kids somehow manage to dress, brush teeth and hair and get everything ready for school… Except for their socks. Every. Day. I have a shoe pocket on the back of the door and now have dedicated a couple pockets to hold clean socks, straight from the laundry. We also have a sock bucket for dirty socks next to the shoes, because as soon as the shoes come off, so do the socks and I grew tired of picking them up/ yelling at the kids to pick them up!
I LOVE this idea! Socks are the worst, aren't they?

Volume 14, Number 49 | December 22, 2013
Limitations to Social Security Death Index Passes Congress
The recently passed budget bill for the years 2014–15 includes provisions to limit access to the Death Master File whose commercial version is known as the Social Security Death Index. Access will be limited to certified entities, such as life insurers and pension funds that use the data to combat fraud and administer benefits. This limited access would apply for three years after an individual's death. Thereafter, the public will have access to the information.
Entities who want access must make an application; pay a fee which is designed to recover costs of program; and then be certified as a need to know. It is claimed that the proposal will save $786 million over the next ten years, including $517 million in increased revenues attributable to preventing payment of fraudulently claimed tax refunds.
JOWBR Reaches 2.1 Million Records
The JewishGen's Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR) now includes more than 2.1 million records from more than 4,200 cemeteries/cemetery sections representing 83 countries. Two new countries are the Dominican Republic and Sri Lanka. JOWBR can be accessed at http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Cemetery/.
The JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry is a database of names and other identifying information from Jewish cemeteries and burial records worldwide, from the earliest records to the present. It is a compilation of two linked databases: a database of burial records, and a database of information about each particular cemetery. JOWBR's aim is to catalog extant data about Jewish cemeteries and burial records worldwide. Photographs of gravestones are also included in this database.
Website Devoted to Genetics and Genealogy of R1a1a Y-Haplogroup Ashkenazi Levites
A new website devoted to the genetics and the genealogy of R1a1a Y-Haplogroup Ashkenazi Levites is at http://www.LeviteDNA.org. The website contains a detailed analysis of the marker values of and interrelationships among individual R1a1a Ashkenazi Levites, as well as discussions of the historical background of this genetic class and theories concerning their origins. There is specific focus on the Horowitz rabbinical family. Current analysis indicates that perhaps half of R1a1a Ashkenazi Levites may be descended on their direct male lines from the founder of the Horowitz rabbinical family—Isaiah ben Moshe Asher Halevi Horowitz (ca. 1440–1515)—who moved to Horovice, near Prague, in the 1470s. Horowitz family tradition traces the family's direct male line back to the year 1000 in Aragon and Provence.

Note that at the website announced collections may not be complete for the dates specified and will be added at some later date. Also note that counts shown in the announcement are the number added, not the total number available in the collection, which can be greater.
Jamaican Family Search Research Library Online Includes Jewish Records
Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter reports that a significant resource for Jamaican genealogy is now available free of charge at http://jamaicanfamilysearch.com. The site contains about 296,000 names of people who lived in Jamaica at some time.
The home page lists a number of Jewish records at the site including:
• Births and Marriages in the Ashkenazi Congregation in Kingston 1788–1906.
• Births, Marriages and Deaths in the Sephardic Congregation in Kingston, 1809–1902.
• Births in the Amalgamated Congregation and United Congregation of Israelites, 1884–1930.
• Marriages in the Amalgamated Congregation and United Congregation of Israelites, 1883 - 1945.
• Deaths in the Amalgamated and United Congregation of Israelites 1883–1993.
Access to these records are at the "Jewish Page" at http://jamaicanfamilysearch.com/Samples/jewish.htm.
60th Anniversary of Yad Vashem—Online Exhibit of Bratislava
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Yad Vashem, the institution located in Jerusalem that is described as a living memorial to Jews caught up in the Holocaust. Established in 1953, through a law passed by the Israeli parliament, it provides documentation, research, education and commemoration of the Holocaust. Its name is derived from a passage in Isaiah 56:5: "Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name (yad vashem) better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off."
Of interest to genealogists is their huge collection of documents about specific individuals. Best known is the "Shoah Victims' Names" database, which provides information about more than 3 million Holocaust victims. Yad Vashem's home page is http://yadvashem.org. On that page is a link to the "Shoah Victims Names" database.
Yad Vashem recently added to their site a history of Jews of Bratislava, Slovakia, at http://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/communities/bratislava/index.asp.
Gesher Galicia Map Room
The Gesher Galicia Map Room, located at http://maps.geshergalicia.org, is one of the many projects of the Gesher Galicia Special Interest Group. It currently contains 10 regional maps (example: Tobias Conrad Lotter Map of Galicia and Lodomeria, ca. 1775); 38 cadastral maps; 10 general and street maps (example: Greater Lwow General Street Map 1903; and 4 special maps (example: Jewish Population Density Map of Galician Districts 1910). A cadastral map is a map that shows the boundaries and ownership of land parcels in a particular town. They often show the names of the landowners and shop owners written onto plots, fields and in the market square.

Here, you are going to learn about some of the greatest benefits that you will receive from wilderness rehab treatment. These are the benefits that wilderness rehab treatments will provide for you.
The first benefit that wilderness rehab treatments can provide is time in the outdoors. It can be a very sensitive time when you go to rehab, so you will not want to be stuffed in a room. So if you do not like being stuffed in a room, then you should really choose wilderness rehab treatment. You can really enjoy your rehab through wilderness rehab treatment because it will be done in nature, with some great views for you to explore. Being outdoors is one benefit that you will receive from wilderness rehab treatment.
Another really great benefit is that wilderness rehab treatment can help you focus on the more important things in life. When you take yourself off the addiction, you will soon refocus on the important things that you never thought about, like your spiritual life and your family and friends. The importance of refocusing on the important things and people in life is really great because you will have more courage to quit the addiction once and for all. When you are in nature, there is a sort of peace that it gives, helping you think and refocus even more on the important things in life, instead of the addiction. This is another of the great benefits that wilderness rehab treatments will provide for you and anyone else that goes to it.
Because you will be able to meet people that are suffering the same thing as you, this is the third and final benefit that we will mention here. When you enter a wilderness rehab treatment, you will be able to meet people that are like you, and have the same struggles and addictions as you. It is great to befriend these people because you can go along life always encouraging each other to continue on with your new, addiction free life. You will be able to experience joy when you meet these people and spend many days together outdoors in the wilderness rehab treatment. So this is the last but definitely not the least benefit to wilderness rehab treatment.


~ The Savior Lives To Teach.
Prayer: The Lord is our Shepherd and in Him we shall find peace. In Him we shall not be found wanting. With His great word we learn how to better serve and praise Him.
Post: In Mark Ch. 5 Jesus meets a man possessed with many demons. There are a few things we can highlight and then we can read, asking the Holy Spirit to guide our thoughts for the day.
First, when the legion asks, no begs, Jesus to send them into the swine He obliges. The devil can play some nasty mind games with us. Jesus obeying the request of a legion of demons is peculiar considering that the average person would feel vituperative towards the enemy.
Secondly, we can take note that many times up until now when people knew or realized that Jesus is the Son of God He would ask them to keep it on the down low. In this case He does not make that request.
Another highlight is the people begging Jesus to leave their town. What!? He cures a man of incredible affliction and their reaction is fear? They say "please leave". How would we react if He came to our town and started to do things that showed such great power? Would we want for Him to turn our lives into something completely different?
Lastly, let us see that the man who was possessed really wanted for to go with Jesus and stay with Him. The man wanted to follow Jesus. Jesus refused. Interesting.
And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And when He was come out of the ship, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped Him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of The Most High God? I adjure Thee by God, that Thou torment me not. For he said unto Him, come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And He asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, my name is legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought Him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. And they come to Jesus, and see Him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in His right mind: and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

Discovery Art Fair: Frankfurt am Main
Forum Messe Frankfurt, 29 October - 1 November 2020
Galerie Z22 https://discoveryartfair.com
The Discovery Art Fair presents for the third time a broad spectrum of emerging contemporary art in the financial capital of Frankfurt am Main. On the first weekend of November the Forum exhibition hall located on the Frankfurt fairgrounds will be filled with fresh contemporary art at affordable prices again. For the 3rd edition of the art fair, the organizers are presenting around 100 exhibitors and welcome more than 10,000 visitors.
The Discovery Art Fair grants a multifaceted offer to art lovers and art interested, young and established collectors, but also for first-time buyers. From large-scale pieces to miniature editions in pocket-size format, the visitors will enjoy an abundance of classical paintings, drawings and graphic prints as well as sculptures, installations, mixed-media pieces or video art. The exhibition extends its focus into the fields of photography and urban art, disciplines brimming with innovative works today represented in many renowned galleries around the world. Such an immense variety of styles and subjects displayed at the Discovery Art Fair promises a special experience for all, including artists, art dealers and visitors. Along with the variety of art, the quality of works presented is equally important. Imbued with an abundance of styles and visual expressions, the exhibited art work is carefully selected by the curators of the fair especially for this occasion. Thus a selection of works is made that reflects the incredible dynamic of the city of Frankfurt and combines it with a desire to present art that is truly affordable for every collector.
The Discovery Art Fair is more than a brand new art fair in Frankfurt/Main. Visitors are granted an opportunity to enter a dialogue with international artists in a relaxed, communicative atmosphere and to acquire original art for their walls at home. In addition to the classical gallery programs, the fair provides a platform to new models of art presentation. Coming into direct contact with temporary pop-up galleries, producers' galleries, art dealers and artists, the visitors enter an atmosphere coated in art enthusiasm and most of all, filled with good, fresh authentic art.
Every year tens of thousands art enthusiasts visit our long-established Discovery Art Fairs in Berlin, now in its 15th year, and in Cologne, now in its 7th year, to broaden their knowledge of the contemporary art scene and to acquire cutting-edge works that have just been created in the studios. Many of the artworks that had their debut at our fairs found their way into world-renowned collections, art spaces and institutions around the world.
Frankfurt – a history rich with culture and commerce
Its high reputation in terms of art makes the business metropolis Frankfurt the ideal, third location of the Discovery Art Fair. Frankfurt is home to around 60 museums, large and small, which are visited by over two million people each year, making it one of Germany's top cities and travel destinations. Frankfurt/Main is an inherently modern city with its view firmly set to the future but rooted in a rich history and cultural heritage gave rise to institutions such as the MMK Museum of Modern Art, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt or the collection of Städel Museum. Due to the impressive variety of museums and galleries, renowned collections, the Städel School of Fine Arts, but also through a lively off-scene, Frankfurt has rightly earned a reputation as a city of art.

Spawn Cycles Wants to Change the Way You Look at Kids' Bikes
As often the case, Max and Elena Zureski's quest to find a good quality bike for their child shifted into a passion project that eventually launched a business.
Geared towards enthusiastic parents looking for better mountain bikes for their kids, Spawn Cycles hit the trails in 2011 in Calgary. With a two-year-old son transitioning from a balance bike, the Zureskis, like many of their parent peers, weren't able to find a bike that was lighter than their youngster.
"I hadn't looked a kid's bike in 20 years, and I was shocked that nothing had gotten any better with them," Max says. "At the time my son weighed like 25-30 pounds and it seemed like all the bikes weighed more than him. Imagine you don't know how to pedal a bike—and say for me, I'm almost a 200-pound guy—it would be like trying to learn to pedal on a dirtbike."
"We make high end kid's bikes that make sense—lightweight with good components," he continues. "We want to make riding fun for the kids instead of being a chore with some of the heavy junky bikes out there."
"At the time my son weighed like 25-30 pounds and it seemed like all the bikes weighed more than him. Imagine you don't know how to pedal a bike—and say for me, I'm almost a 200-pound guy—it would be like trying to learn to pedal on a dirtbike."
While there are some options for lightweight children's bikes out there, most aren't available in North America, and fewer still cater to the offroad market, leaving parents to cobble together components to make a department store marginally better.
In 2013, Spawn Cycles moved its operation to the lower mainland, and after a weekend of filming on the trails of the Sea-to-Sky, the couple moved the company again, joining the growing mountain bike industry in Squamish.
Max says that about 90 percent of Spawn's business is online, and while in the beginning most sales were domestic, the majority of sales are now south of the border. Spawn expects to branch out into the EU, Australia and New Zealand markets in the coming year.
An avid BMXer growing up in the '80s and early '90s, Max is now a recreational mountain biker, giving him first-hand knowledge of his typical customer.
"Ninety-nine percent of our customers are enthusiasts who want something better for their kids," he says. "When you have kids, the activities you like doing can either slow down or completely stop. A lot of the parents don't want to lose the lifestyle and want to introduce their kids to the outdoors and being out on the trails."
The bikes are designed in house, with Max conceptualizing the majority of the parts, an idea he developed during his BMX days.
"My dad's a mechanic and does a bunch of machining, so he helped me build parts when I was a young BMXer," he says. "We've always had this do-it-yourself take on things, so it didn't seem like a big thing to step out and do something like this on our own."
As with all things lighter and of higher quality, it begs the question: what about price?
Spawn Cycles offers a line of about nine complete bikes, as well as frames and individual components. Bikes start at about $350 for a 16-inch hardtail that weighs about 15 pounds. In the mid-price range, a 20-inch front suspension mountain bike that weighs only 22 pounds will cost about $600, and on the high end, a 24-inch loaded, full-suspension bike comes in at just under 2k.
"There are a lot of people who are happy to buy a department store bike for $100, but for our customers, they are usually pretty clear with what they want out of a bike so cost isn't an issue," he says.
He adds that the bikes have a strong resale value, fetching between 80-to-90 percent of the new price after a couple years. And while components are important, he's quick to point out that the low overall weight is the real draw.
"This might be the first time a child realizes that body position makes any sort of difference at all…With a light bike, kids learn the fundamentals to build the foundation earlier."
"This might be the first time a child realizes that body position makes any sort of difference at all," he says. "On a heavy bike, they can move their position around all they want, but they're never going to get the front wheel up, or get the bike to respond properly. With a light bike, kids learn the fundamentals to build the foundation earlier."
So while high-end children's bikes night not be in the cards for every parent, Max says the response from his customers so far has been on track with his mission.
"When you see a parent crying when their kid jumps on a bike and rides away without training wheels—it can be a super emotional things for parents. It can be pretty cool."

MOUNTAIN BIKING IN SQUAMISH
For decades, most Coast Mountain-ers knew Squamish as little more than a roadside refueling station with a hick reputation and an ever-present odour of pulpy, wet farts. Set almost exactly halfway between Vancouver's legendary North Shore and the much-hyped riding in Whistler, old-time Squamish locals endured decades of ridicule and general excommunication by the "snobs" living to the north and south… Read more
MOUNTAIN LIFER: FRASER NEWTON—MORE THAN JUST A BIKE MECHANIC
Good bike mechanics are born, not built. Sure, there are courses a person can take and certifications to achieve, but at the end of the day, it comes down to a state of mind: you're either a tinkerer or you're not. "I started building stuff when I was 7 or so, I guess," says Fraser Newton, Squamish resident and chief mechanic for the BC Bike Race… Read more

SGX named 'Global Exchange of the Year'
Mon, Dec 14, 2015 - 6:28 PM
THE Singapore Exchange's (SGX's) recent derivatives expansion has brought it an international accolade.
The bourse has been named "Global Exchange of the Year" for the first time by derivatives magazine Futures & Options World, it said in a press release on Monday.
It was lauded for growing its offshore Asian equity derivatives suite, broadening its commodities clearing and over-the-counter (OTC) business and continuing to expand its currency futures portfolio and turnover, the SGX said, adding that it was also given credit for "being at the forefront of global regulatory standards".
The winners for the Futures & Options World international awards are selected by a panel of judges.
"We are pleased that SGX continues to receive industry recognition for our innovation and risk management products and we look forward to enhancing this further through the year ahead," SGX chief executive officer Loh Boon Chye said in a statement.
Sembcorp's disclosure of China unit's troubles falls short
"The success cited by these awards has only been possible with the support of our partners and customers and we take this opportunity to thank them for this again."
SGX shares rose six Singapore cents to S$7.53 on Monday before its announcement.

Otis Redding wrote this song while living on a houseboat in Sausalito on the San Francisco Bay. We discovered the actual spot where Otis' housboat was berthed, and shot new Super8 footage from the spot for use in this video. Thanks to Anne Garfield, Joel Selvin and Bill Belmont. Otis recorded this song shortly before his tragic death. Steve Cropper finished production on the song after Otis' plane went down. Released posthumously, it was Otis' biggest hit ever. Enjoy!


Last week SEC Chair Jay Clayton announced that the SEC has begun a study to completely revise the matrix of laws and rules that permit the sale of securities without filing a Federal prospectus. Characterizing the current system as a patchwork and noting that it grew incrementally as the government increasingly liberalized or clarified the groundrules for private placements, Clayton promised a "concept release" that would reformat and rationalize the placement rules to make them more easily understood by business.
Followers of the SEC know that a concept release can take a long time to produce as it wends its way through the SEC, and then it is open to comment and public input which may lead to proposed legislation or regulation which, in turn, must move through the Congress or through the drafting and public comment process for new SEC regulations. So don't expect immediate clarifications. But surely our current system could use rationalization.
A couple of recommendations from this quarter: why not preempt State regulation so we have a single Federal system? Why not address the issue of deregulating people who act as agents in raising funds in private placements, rather than requiring that they hold a BD ticket (or violate the letter of the law, as is common in present practice)? Why not either simplify or scrap crowdfunding, which is seldom used to date, is complex and labor-intensive, makes risky equity plays available to people who cannot afford it, and attracts dumb money to highly speculative ventures? Why not establish a simple, lightly regulated trading market for shares of very large private companies which now function with very many shareholders but are privately held (think Uber for example)?
In the old days, before we had Regulation D and Rule 144, the common law established a level of practice that may not have been clearly articulated to the business community but nonetheless was simple to utilize. Why not a regulatory scheme that includes a substantially unregulated private capital market for qualified investors, with no need for reporting anything to anyone and with an exemption from State interference (which always was, and remains, a major problem)?
The real issue is fraud and lying. The real issue therefore is very difficult to regulate. We know it is illegal to defraud and lie. Now all we need is a system that prevents it. I bet Clayton doesn't try to tackle that one…. We rely primarily on back-end enforcement and if anyone out there has a better plan, please let us (and Clayton) know.

The argument over whether or not we should send Malaysians overseas for education under government scholarship is currently raging.
As revealed yesterday, Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said pointed out that the government managed to save RM240 million this year by opting out of sending 744 students overseas.
Instead, these students will be educated locally in both private and public universities.
Granted, learning locally is an option for many Malaysians, and sending students overseas is expensive.
At the same time, there are also multiple privately managed scholarship plans for students to further their studies.
Similarly, there are also scholarship opportunities for those who wish to further their education on a postgraduate level, such as the British Chevening Scholarship programme.
However, what is being denied here is more than just the ability to access a classroom or lecture hall somewhere in the US and the United Kingdom.
It is denying young Malaysians to learn more in the form of culture, sociology and even urban planning.
Personally, I was never given this chance.
My overseas trips have always been for work and also as a tourist on my own dime.
But seeing it through the eyes of students would allow them a longer period to think of how and what other nations – mostly developed nations – are doing for the betterment of society as a whole which can be implemented here in Malaysia.
There are multiple concepts that are currently being marketed overseas that are not applicable in Malaysia. For one thing, how student discounts work wholesale in societies such as London and how different this is in Malaysia.
At the same time, it allows students to take a look at multiple issues from public transport to how foreign nations look at long term welfare plans such as universal healthcare or even food stamps.
This is a huge student welfare issue, especially here when we recently saw the "Mahasiswa Lapar" take place. From books to food to public transport to even theatre, students are given multiple discounts.
There is also the valuation of culture and how much it is marketed, maintained and even made accessible to their own population as well as foreigners.
It is also the ability for students to gauge sociological interactions and how cities are constantly trying to keep up in balancing work and life, as well as nature and development – something you can even see in Vancouver or even London.
Heck, it even allows our future generation to consider issues regarding economics, and how governments balance out costs of maintaining a welfare state in which goods are expensive, taxes are high, and yet you have a happy population – as is the case with Denmark, France and even the United Kingdom.
They will also be able to take a peek at how a proper work-life balance system works and how much it is appreciated in these countries – something Malaysia should begin to emulate even now with the increasing issues of mental health cropping up.
Thus, learning overseas is not just about "learning overseas".
It is about experiencing a way of life that is alien. It is stepping out of our comfort zones to the point that even escalators seem to be moving faster, but at the same time appreciating different cultures and embracing such a huge diversity of these that it expands your worldly horizons.
It is a chance to learn new languages which is in fact beneficial for mental prowess.
Heck, it's about learning that there is a need for a scarf and warm jackets other than to complete a hipster look, at the very least.
But more than all this, it allows Malaysians to bond internationally with people from all over the world.
True, there will be Malaysians that will just be chummy with only other Malaysians, but you will also find others who will be curious enough to mingle with others and partake in long conversations and friendships that last a lifetime.
And we know that this matters.And we know that Azalina at least knows this much considering how she further her studies at the London School of Economics and is even a listed donor in their magazine last year.
And we all know that this has historically benefited Malaysians because we have multiple high ranking officials in government departments and agencies, and the private sector who were beneficiaries of these scholarships in the past, some of them even becoming current ministers in the government.
So why are we denying future generations the same experience?
If it purely an issue of costs, there are multiple overruns in the Prime Minister's Department itself.
For example, what use is JASA and Jabatan Perpaduan Negara, and why is this not part of the Ministry of Information's portfolio?
Our government should reconsider that in times of austerity, for our future's sake, they should keep their hands off the education and health budgets at all times.
The fact that these two were the first to be cut – with the scholarships removed and even a hospital in Perlis being axed – raises the question of whether this truly is a people-centric government or one that is caring for the economy regardless of everything else.

High-school actors wander into Neverland
Middle-school actors recently auditioned for the spring musical, "Peter Pan Jr." — and, perhaps surprisingly, so did a number of those in high school. Director Maureen Fallon explains the decision to incorporate older actors in the middle-school production scheduled for Feb. 17.
"'Peter Pan' is a really big cast. In most shows, you can be a couple of different things but in Peter Pan there's so many little groups, none of them can have the same people," Fallon said. "So, instead of using the normal 35 or 40 middle-school kids, we also needed more on top of that. The easiest thing to do was to make the pirates high-schoolers because the pirates should be bigger and older, so I decided to do that."
Sophomore Rudi Larkin has been given the principal part of "John" in the musical.
"When I first saw the cast list, I was definitely surprised, not only because I was cast as John but because of all of the high-school kids put into roles," Larkin said. "I have no shame at all being cast as a high-schooler in a middle-school show. This is an opportunity to show I am able to handle a (semi) lead and it will only make me try harder."
However, Larkin said he has found it to be a bit difficult with having the majority of his fellow cast-mates to be middle-school students.
"The largest issue with working with middle-schoolers is their lack of focus, not to undermine the effort that they all put in, some of them just can't seem to be quiet when Ms. Fallon is giving direction," he said.
Fallon knows the challenges that comes along when working with middle-school, but she remains confident she's made the right decision.
"I think [Rudi] will be a good group leader for that basic group of kids," Fallon said. "It's a pretty good group of middle-schoolers, the ones who are playing the principal roles are pretty mature. That's kind of a reason why they were chosen."
Seventh-grader Deklyn G., who will play "Peter," said he's looking forward to having high-schoolers as his co-stars as he gets to know them more during rehearsals.
"I think the high-schoolers will make great teachers for all the sevies that have never done theater, and they will be able to get the middle-schoolers on the right track," Dekly said. "I'm really glad the high-schoolers and the middle-schoolers are mixing,"

Editor's note: Brevard Public Schools policy prohibits the inclusion of middle-schoolers' last names on district-sponsored websites.

Q: Why is NSData(contentsOfURL: url) always nil? I download a file from the DocumentPicker (iCloud, dropbox, etc.). This file can be .pages, .docx, .pdf,...
When I want to convert it to NSData for file upload, I always receive a nil value:
if NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(urlToFile!.path!) {
  let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: urlToFile!) // initializer returns nil, although file and path exist
  println(data) // prints nil
}
else {
  println("Does not exist")
}

I cannot figure out why it is nil, the file exists at this path!
Where is my mistake?
Some more information
A screenshot, showing that it is not a scope problem, but the initializer (as stated in my question-title) already returns nil. In this example I use a suggestion from an answer below, utilizing contentsOfFile

Utilizing an ErrorPointer

"The operation couldn't be completed. (Cocoa error 257.)" UserInfo=0x7fac556cbf00 {NSFilePath=SUPERLONGPATH<NSUnderlyingError=0x7fac570beb20 "The operation couldn't be completed. Permission denied"})

File's origin
The file is downloaded via an DocumentPicker:
let docPicker = UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: ["public.content"], inMode: UIDocumentPickerMode.Import)
docPicker.delegate = self
docPicker.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.OverCurrentContext
self.presentViewController(docPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)

func documentPicker(controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController, didPickDocumentAtURL url: NSURL) {
    labelDatei.text = "Bereit"
    labelDateiChose.text = url.lastPathComponent
    urlToFile = url
  }

Solution
As it happens .pages and .numbers "files" are no files, but folders(containers). So they cannot be uploaded. Using a .pdf works now. Thanks to all for help

A: It looks  scope problem. You're defining your local variable data inside the braces and it won't exist after the braces.
Get rid of the word let.
That way  you will  be assigning to a variable data from the enclosing scope
