Fellow Profile
Please tell us a little about your background and what drove you to be a Kuehn Fellow.
My own family has felt the emotional and financial stress, including close brushes with homelessness, caused by poverty and the lack of affordable housing. These experiences and others shaped my interest in social justice and public service careers, leading me to earn my B.A. in public policy analysis from Pomona College and working around the country on a range of issues, including immigration reform, vocational education, youth development, raising the minimum wage, and paid family and medical leave. It was during graduate school that I began to appreciate more clearly the power that developers have in shaping communities, and thus laying the foundation, for better or worse, for many of the issues I had worked on previously. I felt the Kuehn Fellowship was an excellent opportunity to learn about development through hands-on experience on meaningful projects, allowing me to enter a field I may never have entered otherwise.
Favorite project/accomplishment/learning?
My favorite project so far has been The Union at 48 Boylston Street, a joint project with St. Francis House, the largest day shelter in Massachusetts, which also provides an array of supportive services including medical care, addiction and mental health counseling, and life skills training. All 46 units will be affordable to households making less than 30-60% AMI, and of these, 26 units will be reserved for individuals and households currently experiencing homelessness. In addition, St. Francis House will be moving its administrative offices into the building, freeing up space for more programming at their location across the street, and will operate two businesses in the commercial spaces that will provide employment and training opportunities for their clients. This project will help fight homelessness in Boston and maintain affordable housing options in a rapidly gentrifying area of the city while maintaining a beautiful historic building. This project is special, and I'm proud to be a part of it.
What has surprised/challenged you?
Perhaps the thing that has surprised me most is how much development is an iterative process and how much developers are flying by the seat of their pants. I think I had a vision of developers as being more direct drivers of development than they are. Of course, developers need to have a vision and mission to guide their work on a particular site and overall, but developers rely heavily on the expertise of the team members they work with and educated guesses based on prior experience, and much of development is responding to changing circumstances and new information rather than directing how things unfold. While developers still have a lot of power and influence, I see them now more as key points in a network where the impact of policy and investment decisions on communities is more easily manifested and observed, and the information from those interactions and changes is funneled back out to the network…A challenge has been realizing how little diversity there is in the field compared to the populations we serve.
Rodriguez, Amarillys

Do you know what century you should live in?
Ted Huang
You will be asked questions about your personality. If you are truthful, you will discover which century best fits your personality. This exam is not based on any scientific research. It's only for fun, so don't take the outcome too seriously.
Your personality type is a valuable tool for psychologists to use when they study how people react to situations. The eight types were first described by Dr. Carl Jung in his book "The Psychology of the Soul." He identified four different ways that people relate to others and themselves, called "archetypes." These are general patterns that apply to most people, but each individual also has some unique traits that make them different from other people. Your psyche or soul was said to possess one of these archetypes, which determine how you process information and make decisions.
Here are the four types:
SOUL PRODUCERS - those who have a tendency to create things; artists, writers, musicians. They tend to be independent and sometimes even stubborn. They like to think deeply about various issues raised during conversations.
PEACEPRODUCERS - those who want to keep problems away from their circle, politicians, lawyers, doctors. They tend to be calm and unemotional. They look at both sides of an issue before making a decision.
How many centuries are there in 70 years?
What's the difference between a century and a millennium?
What is the most impressionable age?
How much time is in a century?
A century is defined as a span of 100 years... Convert 70 centennials to years.
70.00 7,000
The fundamental distinction between a century and a millennium is that a century is a unit of time lasting 100 years, whereas a millennium is a unit of time lasting 1000 years. A century (from the Latin centum, which means "one hundred"; abbreviated c.) is a period of one hundred years. The word century comes from the Greek khronos, meaning "time." As you may have guessed, then, a thousand centuries is exactly equal to a million years.
In mathematics, physics, and astronomy, a second is defined as 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation of atomic clocks. Thus a century in these contexts is 100 seconds, and a millennium is 1000 seconds or 1 minute. In law, politics, and history, a century usually refers to a period of 100 years, but the term can be used more broadly to refer to any period of 10 years. A millennium is typically taken to be 1000 years.
A centenarian is someone who has lived for a hundred years. A millennialist is a person who believes that the world will end within his or her own lifetime!
There are several ways that the future life on Earth might end. It could be by nuclear war, global warming, or an asteroid strike. Or it could be by something much smaller and more personal - such as a computer virus attacking our infrastructure - causing the end of civilization as we know it.
Specific age categories, such as 12–18 and 19–24, can also be used to categorize the formative years. Researchers employed a variety of tools to assess (c) the ability to accept or adjust attitudes and behavior. July 10th, 2018 - Psychologists have long believed that people between the ages of 10 and 30 are the most likely to change their habits.
In fact, studies show that people in this age range are more likely to start exercising, quit smoking, lose weight, or reduce drinking than anyone else. These findings are based on self-reported data from participants in clinical trials and epidemiological studies. However not all young people are ready to make important changes in their lives at the same time.
Young people between the ages of 10 and 30 are the most likely to change their habits. But some research suggests that people as young as 7 or 8 may be able to learn new skills if they receive sufficient training from knowledgeable instructors. Other research has shown that people as old as 60 can learn new skills by receiving training from experienced teachers.
The conclusion about the most impressionable age category depends on which habit you're trying to change. If you're thinking about quitting smoking, for example, then your best chance of success is probably during the early 20s.
A century is a time span of 100 years. In English and many other languages, centuries are ordinarily counted. The term century is derived from the Latin centum, which means "one hundred." A century is thus the equivalent of 10,000 days (86,400 total hours). There are exactly 100 days in an ordinary year, so a century has the same relationship to the year as 10,000 does to 1.
There are actually four different ways to count centuries on an ordinal scale: 100, 200, 300, and 400. On rare occasion, some authors may use any one of these values for every century. However, there are good reasons why they are not used very often.
The number 100 is special because it can be divided by 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 without remainder. This makes it convenient for people to calculate percentages and find suitable numbers for indices. For example, 100% means all of something, and using 50% would be unrealistic because it would mean half of everything.
Centuries are usually counted starting with the year 0. Before that time, historians have used dates like -4712 or 4929 BC because they were easier to work with. These dates are relative to January 1, 4712 BC or January 1, 4929 BC respectively.

Frontlist | In the mood for adventure? Then pick up this 33-year-old Mumbaikar's comic book
Rahul Patil has been an animator since forever and now has a fanbase of his own on Instagram. His comic strips are really very popular! So when he decided to write a book, we just had to check it out What's next? — if you are showcasing a story and you hear these magical words, take it as a sign that your tale is working. When Rahul Patil participated in 100 Days of Sketching for the second time and four of his illustrations clicked so well with his online followers that it prompted them to ask, What next?, he took it as his cue and expanded it into a whole comic book. But wait, there's more. He did not just illustrate it, he also wrote it and got it published on his own, sans the help of a publishing house. This wonderful work of art is called Jambalaya, a book about an adventure that a couple undertakes. Here comes the couple Who is this couple? It's Rahul and his wife, Kishori, who goes by the name Kiri in the book. The 33-year-old is quite the rage on Instagram with over 10k followers and it wouldn't be wrong to say that his claim to fame has been the simple life of him and his wife, illustrated as comics. He must have over 60 strips by now, so he has indeed been dwelling on this theme for a long time. I run everything by her and if there is anything that might even remotely offend her, I inform her in advance, says Rahul and makes us go awww! The duo's daily shenanigans are all very well-documented by this Mumbai-based illustrator and comic artist.
And it is with the same thread that he has woven the story of Jambalaya. A mysterious package transports the couple to Africa and there is a puzzle for them, waiting to be solved. In July 2020, when I first vetted the idea on Instagram, I received 26 pre-orders in just three days and by the end of it, the number was 56. This gave me the boost I needed to put my head down and work on the 42-page book, shares Rahul who quit his job as a 3D Animator in January 2020 to go the independent route. How the book came to be Treating the graphic novel Bot-9 by Derek Laufman as his Bible, Rahul started exploring the various ways of telling a story and worked very hard on it. Why did he need to work on it though? Because on IG, he is used to writing within small square panels, but this is a whole book we are talking about! He then visually created as many as seven settings with intricate details like a jungle, an ancient temple and a cave. The cave had inscriptions of a dinosaur and a pillar in the temple has ancient carvings — all that was time-consuming, points out the youngster. Not just that, details like the thickness of paper and the intensity of colours, which otherwise a publishing house takes care of, Rahul had to figure it all out with a local printing press. But he successfully executed this magnum opus and in December 2020, Rahul had 200 copies of Jambalaya in his hands, hot from the press. (A little heads up here, 100 copies have already been sold!)
From the book |
For someone who has been drawing since his childhood, this book is a big deal for the Mumbaikar and his heart is filled with gratitude. That's why when someone buys his book, he also ships an exclusive concept art print and an A5 art print along with a note listing all the names of his first backers. No wonder even popular illustrators like Kesh have only high praise for Rahul, which is printed for everyone to see on the book's back cover. Rahul is already onto his second book so be assured that you won't be left wanting more for too long.

The "Hippest" Buddha Statue Everyone Is Wanting to
The "Hippest" Buddha Statue Everyone Is Wanting to Get a Shot of 📸
When you think about Buddha statues here in Japan, I'm sure the Buddha's that come into mind are the Kamakura Daibutsu or the Nara Daibutsu. However, there's a new Buddha statue that's causing a lot of stir on the net and it's located in Aichi prefecture's district of Konan.
Image via Hotei-no Daibutsu towering over the houses nearby
Referred to as the Hotei-no Daibutsu (布袋の大仏), this Buddha statue is larger than the Kamakura Daibutsu standing at 18m tall. Built in 1954 using reinforced concrete, it's said that if you make a vow to the Buddha, it will cure you from illness and lead you to a path of enlightenment.
However, this Buddha has been making the rounds on the net being referred to as the "Daibutsu with sunglasses" and you can see why. By getting the right angle, the traffic signals at the railroad crossing of Nagoya's Railway Co.'s Inuyama Line overlaps perfectly over the eyes of the Buddha, making it seem he's wearing sunglasses. 😎
Image via 🚥
Others are referring to the Buddha statue as #terminatorbuddha, when only one of the traffic signals are lit.
If you want to get a shot of the coolest Buddha statue, get off at Hotei station on the Inuyama Line and walk 10-15 minutes.

Facebook Lays Off Over 11,000 Employees While Twitter Axes Entire Staff In Africa Without Severance
BY Matthew McNulty
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is planning to lay off 13 percent of its staff – or more than 11,000 employees – in what could be the biggest round of layoffs in tech history, just as Twitter axes its entire staff in Africa just days after opening offices in Ghana.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed the news in a letter sent to employees on Wednesday, calling it "some of the most difficult changes we've made in Meta's history."
Zuckerberg Calls Terminations "Some Of The Most Difficult Changes We've Made In Meta History"
"Today I'm sharing some of the most difficult changes we've made in Meta's history," Zuckerberg said in the letter. "I've decided to reduce the size of our team by about 13 percent and let more than 11,000 of our talented employees go. We are also taking a number of additional steps to become a leaner and more efficient company by cutting discretionary spending and extending our hiring freeze through Q1."
As of Wednesday morning, shares of Meta had increased about 7.7 percent, according to CBNC.
The news comes amidst a rough stretch for Facebook's parent company Meta, who scared investors after reporting its upcoming fourth-quarter earnings in late October, causing shares to drop nearly 20 percent.
Probably one of the biggest layoffs in the tech history.
11K people laid off by Meta today. That's heart wrenching.#layoffs #recession #meta #Facebook pic.twitter.com/Oshu2lhs6R
— Arpit Tripathi🇮🇳 (@arpitripathi_) November 9, 2022
Investors are concerned about Meta's rising costs and expenses, which jumped 19 percent year over year in the third quarter to $22.1 billion. Their sales have also declined four percent to $27.71 billion in the quarter with operating income seeing a steep 46 percent drop from the previous year to $5.66 billion.
"I want to take accountability for these decisions and for how we got here. I know this is tough for everyone, and I'm especially sorry to those impacted." Zuckerberg said.
Twitter Experiences Similar Cuts, With Offices In Africa Shuttered After Musk Buyout
Meanwhile at Twitter, things aren't faring much better, where the entire African headquarters was unceremoniously let go.
CNN's Larry Madowo reports that it obtained the termination notice sent to staff at Twitter's only office in Africa, located in Accra. The office just opened several days ago.
The outlet reports that "unlike in the U.S., (the termination letter) doesn't offer next steps or severance."

Musk had previously done away with much of middle management at the company's San Francisco headquarters, preferring to have more developers and less managers in his words.
In the United States, Twitter employees have already filed a class-action lawsuit amid allegations that Twitter violated federal and Californian laws by failing to allow sufficient notice prior to the firings, which have affected around half the company's workforce, CNBC reports.

Japan happens to be the tech giant's second biggest market, with the platform being used in an official capacity by government bodies to relay messages to the public during natural disasters, and have done so since the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami of 2011.
Musk's $4.4 billion purchase of the social media platform and his desire to charge money for a Twitter Blue subscription service has rattled its user base with many balking at the idea of an $8 surcharge to tweet.

Living Ruff in SA seeks to encourage a more compassionate and supportive attitude towards the homeless keeping their dog, so they can maintain that special bond which is of benefit to both dog and owner.
The Paws & Pals programme supports homeless people and their pets by helping them obtain free or heavily subsidised pet care and veterinary services. The first pop up vet clinic was successfully launched in December 2016 and was initially hosted with the support of The Hutt Street Centre but will commence its standalone pop up clinics from May 2017.
Along with volunteer veterinarians, pop up vet clinics also bring with them volunteer groomers so that pets can have their nails trimmed, long coats clipped and a bath if required. Volunteers bring food that has been sourced through donations and food drives to the clinic as "Paw Packs" that provide brushes, collars, leashes and dog treats. Other agencies are invited to set up and share their services at the clinic space.
Living Ruff in SA started three years ago when Jennifer fulfilled a promise that she had made to her children after having to surrender their two beloved dogs to the RSPCA when she became homeless due to experiencing prolonged domestic violence and abuse. She promised that she would do everything in her power to prevent other families being torn apart in times of crisis due to not being able to find emergency housing with their pets.
This led to Jennifer eventually establishing Living Ruff in SA and their first programme – Safe Pets, Safe Families. Her passion and drive allowed numerous pets to be kept by their owner rather than being faced with an uncertain future if surrendered to a pound.

trestles and associated sundries such as sealable plastic tubs and water storage containers.
At the inaugural clinic a list was kept of what Paws & Pals needed to acquire or upgrade for ongoing pop up vet clinics. The volunteer vets also gave valuable input as to what they would like to see provided.
The first Paws & Pals clinic supported 30 clients and their pets, by upgrading their equipment they aim to help 50 clients per clinic.
The directors of UCF were pleased to grant the requested $2,000 recognising that by supporting pets of the homeless, the person is them self being supported, a connection is made and a future changed for the better.
Homeless people often feel invisible in our society, they become invisible and overlooked by many of us, the love and unconditional support that a pet can offer them is priceless.
The once invisible person becomes more approachable once a pet joins them – and sometimes it really is the only love in their life.

Meet Ella Martin
I spoke with author E.M. Caines, writing as Ella Martin about her writing process, her agent, and her debut novel. Be sure to follow her on Twitter because she's easy to talk to and supportive of other writers.
What inspired you to write your first book?
A few years ago, my sister gave me a shiny new Kindle for Christmas, and I went on a mad reading binge. I read everything I could get my hands on. I was so removed from the publishing world that I was truly exploring books as a reader, and there were a lot of books that made me think, "Oh, I can write at least as well as this." I had some ideas and noodled them, and my aunt really encouraged me to put them down on paper. So when NaNoWriMo rolled around in 2012, I decided to try it. I mean, 50,000 words in a month—how hard can it be? (Answer: Very hard.) So I set out to explore what would happen if Snow White was in high school and Prince Charming was anything but. Would she wind up with one of the dwarves? And how would I write the dwarves if it was a contemporary YA without any magic? Will the Real Prince Charming Please Stand Up? was born out of those questions. Of course, I didn't know anything about YA or contemporary or anything else. I just knew I wanted to write this story.
Do you have a specific writing style?
Would I sound like an idiot if I say I don't even know what this means? [smiles sheepishly] I guess my writing style is conversational, if you have to put a label on it. I write like I talk, so writing in first person was my obvious first choice. But I have a couple of WIPs written in third person limited now. I thought I would struggle with them, but it's interesting to see how there's not a ton of difference.
How did you come up with the title?
I love my title. I really hope I don't get asked to change it because I would be very sad. A number of people told me it reminds me of Eminem and "The Real Slim Shady," which was kind of the idea. The phrase really originated with the old game show To Tell the Truth, but not a lot of people would immediately think of that. So, sure. I'll credit Eminem. [smirks]
On another note, though, I really love the titles for all of Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series. They're all slight takes on well-known phrases—and also really long titles—so I was largely inspired by those, too.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
I never considered this while I was writing, but one of my Alpha Readers (that's how I refer to early readers who are gluttons for punishment and are willing to read through multiple revisions) pulled out a random quote she loved: "You deserve a lot better than 'not that bad.'" The funny thing about that line, of course, is that it was essentially a throwaway piece of dialogue that I had every intention of changing, but it was so well-received that I kept it.
So, yeah, I guess the real underlying theme is that you deserve better. But that's something I don't think most girls learn until they get a bit older, and some don't ever learn it at all.
How much of the book is realistic?
I call myself a prep school survivor, so I lived in a different world than many of my peers. (Read: I lived a very sheltered life surrounded by the rich and the beautiful.) Within that context, I think it's pretty realistic. I mean, I write YA contemporary. It ought to be realistic. Now, admittedly, some of my supporting characters are a bit larger than life, but as they are largely amalgams of people I either knew from school or had the, uh, experience of working with, I tried to keep everything as real as I could.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
I'm sure some of what I've written was based in part on people I know, but in writing these characters, they've all kind of become their own persons. Like, I initially modeled the main character, Bianca, and her relationship with her brother Brady on a girl from my high school and her brother, but it ended up being so far removed from reality. And I think that's kind of the key to writing characters based on people you know. You never really know what's going on in their lives or what their thoughts of or relationships with others are truly like. That's when imagination comes into play, and more often than not, I've idealized things so much that I'm way off the mark.
What books have most influenced your life most?
I feel like everyone and their mother would cite this novel, but The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton was a game-changer in my life. I read it the summer before fourth grade, and it was like, "Wow." When my sister told me S.E. Hinton was only 16 when she wrote it, I decided I was going to become a novelist, too. Interestingly, it took 30 years before I actually finished a novel, but that was the book that made me say, "You know, I could totally do this."
After high school, I read romance novels almost exclusively for a few years, partially because I enjoyed them, but also to analyze the craft. So I read everything I could get my hands on by Jayne Ann Krentz, though my favorite works of hers were under the pseudonym Amanda Quick. And it was amazing because that's when I started recognizing patterns in how each story unfolded.
But I feel I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Sweet Valley High series. These books were my first introduction to pulp literature, if you will. And I'm not ashamed to say I honed my craft as a kid writing SVH fan fiction, though I had no idea it was called that at the time. It was a great exercise in taking developed characters and dropping them into random situations.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
If by "mentor" you mean a writer with whom I'm in constant contact and frequently turn to about craft and whatnot, that's easy: L.S. Murphy. I'll be honest: I'd never heard of her until I signed with Julia A. Weber, who also happens to represent her. L.S. Murphy (or "Ellis" as I like to call her for fun) released Reaper not long before I signed with Julia, and it was such a great read. As agent sisters, we had some commonalities, but it wasn't until we met in person and really started to talk to each other that we realized we're actually clones.
But if by "mentor" you mean a writer whose Twitter feed and blog inspire me to push myself as a writer, I'd say it's a toss-up between Chuck Wendig and John Scalzi. Dear God, those men are insightful, amazing writers and funny as all get out. I mean, honestly, I want Chuck Wendig to come to Orlando just so I can present him with a bourbon offering and fangirl over him for a few moments. Not that I'm super crazy or anything. [shifty eyes]
What book are you reading now?
It's impossible to keep up with all the amazing books out there, even as quickly as I read. The pile of unread books in my reading nook is threatening to topple over. Well, that's not totally true, but it feels like it. I've been wanting to tackle Troy High by Shana Norris because it's a YA contemporary retelling of The Iliad. How awesome is that premise? But I've also got Gail Carriger's Curtsies and Conspiracies staring at me from my Kindle, and my sister gifted me a hardcover set of Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles this Christmas. And I've also resolved to read at least one classic book a month, so I just finished H.G. Wells's The Time Machine.
But what is actually open on my Kindle and/or bookmarked and on my shelf? Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I'm reading it to my 6-year-old son.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
There's one author on the 2014 debut list whose work I really want to read: Adi Alsaid. He's got a book coming out in August from Harlequin Teen called Let's Get Lost, and I'm dying to read it. It just sounds so amazing. And based on my (limited) interactions with him on Twitter, he's such an sweet, down-to-earth guy. I'm really looking forward to reading this.
What are your current projects?
I have a couple of works in progress right now. I wish I could say they're all in various stages of completion, but they're not. The only worse thing than wondering if anyone will ever want to you're your work is having people anxious to read your work. [hangs head in shame]
The story I've been working on struggling with for more than a year is a Sleeping Beauty retelling called I Love Him, I Love Him Not. In my version, sleep and the briars locking out the prince are all metaphors for the walls the main character, Talia, puts up to protect herself from getting hurt. She did something pretty gutsy when she was about 10 and is really skittish about guys as romantic interests. But she's got to face her demons and metaphorically wake herself up, because Prince Charming can't do it for her.
My (unfinished) 2013 NaNoWriMo novel called How to Ask a Girl to Homecoming is a gender-flipped Beauty and the Beast featuring a girl with Type 1 Diabetes that takes place in a whole different world than WTRPCPSU and ILHILHN. It's still a contemporary YA novel, but it has a different feel than the other two.
And last is what I refer to as The Unnamed. That's a super-secret project only L.S. Murphy and our agent have any details on, mainly because I'm terrified I can't pull it off. We'll see.
Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members.
This is easy. I'm part of a writing group in Central Florida that was formed out of a local group of NaNoWriMo participants. We named ourselves Central Florida Inklings, as a nod to the original Inklings from Oxford. We're nowhere near their caliber, but the Central Florida Inklings are a great group of people who have been incredibly supportive.
And, of course, there's Team Weber, a.k.a, all of Julia's other clients. We're a pretty close-knit crew. I couldn't imagine better agent sisters.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
You mean something original? No. But Ray Bradbury is credited for once saying, "You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance," and I fully believe this. In fact, I get nervous when I send my work to beta readers and they don't have anything bad to say. I wonder if they really read it.
What's all your social media links to share with readers?
I'm most active on Twitter (@EMCaines) and occasionally post random thoughts on my blog (NeverWordless.wordpress.com). I also have a writing column called Plays with Words in YA Interrobang (YAInterrobang.com), a bi-weekly magazine dedicated to all things YA. I don't do a whole lot with Facebook, though I have an author page. A part of me feels I should do something with it, but it also feels like a lot of work for very little in return. [shrugs] I have books to write.
Who is your agent?
I'm represented by Julia A. Weber of J.A. Weber Literaturagentur. She's fantastic. If you write contemporary YA, MG, or Women's Lit, I highly recommend checking out her website to see what she's looking for. She's wonderful.
How did you meet your agent?
I learned about her online. I wish I could find the exact interview I read, but in it, she said she loved romance and fairy tales and was looking for well-written contemporary YA manuscripts. That described my novel in a nutshell, so I put her at the top of my list of agents to query when I felt I was ready. But then I stumbled upon #PitMad, a Twitter pitch party hosted by author Brenda Drake, and Julia was one of the agents who requested it. I still remember seeing the notification that she marked it as a favorite. I stopped breathing for a few seconds, ran into my friend's office, closed the door, and tried really hard to explain what was happening without screaming.
What's your agent phone call story?
The Call from Julia was actually The E-mail. And I did everything you're not supposed to do. I didn't call her other clients (though she offered), I didn't take any time to think about it (though she offered), and I didn't behave like a normal writer ought. I did, however, ask eleventy billion questions when I Skyped with her (though the camera wasn't working on my laptop), so I did something right. But she's so sweet, incredibly sharp, and it almost felt like she knew my manuscript better than I did. So I don't regret trusting my gut and skipping the vetting process because it worked out for me. But I wouldn't recommend it.

JOANA had prepared dinner and served the family at the table.
Let us remember that Joana is Syprosa's elder sister, and the mother of the whining little one.
The family at table comprised the little one, Joana herself, the mother--but absent the man in the home. The mother, who initially was not troubled by Syp's absence, now did not find flavour in the beef stew--her favorite-- that Joana had made.

She paused her eating. "Have you called her again?"
"Mama," said Joana, feeding the little one, "I have called her more than fifty times since morning. Mostly it is off, the phone. When it rings, she does not pick."
"Mhf!" said the mother. "What is wrong with this child?" she said of Syprosa. "Where is she?"
"I heard that she was seen with Bruno at the bus stage."
"Which Bruno?"
"Bruno of Mama Pelela."
"The witch?"
The mother clapped her hands. "Mah! When did you hear? Why did you not tell me?"
"Mama, I have just heard a few minutes ago, while I was cooking. Somebody from the church sent me a text message."
"With Bruno--of Mama Pelela? Mhf! Where were they going?"
"They were seen going to Kakamega. And let me surprise you more. They were with an old man--"
"An old man?"
"And a beautiful mzungu woman who had a dog."
OVER Kisumu City the night had fallen, but there was a crescent moon illuminating our friends as they strolled away from the lake.

"Do not touch my things again," said Syp to Bruno, when they happened to move side by side.
"I shall not," he said.
After a brief silence, she said, "Where are we going?"
"Rusinga Island."
"Now? Is it not far?"
"So--"
Syp's phone rang. It was Joana.
"Why don't you answer it?" said Bruno.
She did. It was her mother on the line.
"My daughter."
Syp stayed silent. The mother apologized for lashing out at her the other time; but maintained that, that alone could not be a reason enough for Syp to flee home. Whether Syprosa should roam the wide wide world, never would she find a home as homely as the one she and her father provided.
"Return home, please."
"I will," Syp said.
Syp did not say.
"Are--are you with Bruno?"
This startled Syp; how did the mother know? Syp was now trailing our friends on their walk from the lake.
"I hear you are with Bruno, an old man and a mzungu. What are you doing together?"
"Nothing important."
"Can I talk to Bruno? Eh..?" said the mother.
"I'm cutting the call now."
"Wait, wait. Listen to me, it is not bad. They may be witches, but it is not bad."
"What is not bad?"
"If you have decided to run away with Bruno, it is not bad. But what about the other boy? The one we know--"
"--forget it--what matters is, you tell us that you are well--whatever you are doing. Can you tell me that?"
"I am well."
"Are you telling me the truth?"
"Come back home."
Syp disconnected.
After the disconnection, the mother, pushing her dinner plate away, said aloud: "What a child! Mah. I scold her for leaving my grandson unattended, and what does she do? She runs. She makes our hearts run. Why can't she be a normal child? What an egg"--to Joana--"she has taken after your father's people."
"Mama, don't burst your heart," said Joana.
"Eggs! Eggs! Eggs..."
The mother went to her bedroom, and began to cry.


As we prepare for how we will respond to Hurricane Florence, there are several things to keep in mind.
First, pray for all those whose lives and property have been or soon will be impacted by the winds, floods, and storm surge along the coast. Keep in mind especially those who are being evacuated from hospitals, nursing facilities, and retirement communities on the coast.
Second, consider a gift to the South Carolina Synod Disaster Response which will be used for short term responses to those who are the hardest hit within the Carolinas, and/or give to the ELCA Lutehran Disaster Response (see article below) which goes to the long-term recovery efforts which may take years.
The synod is making available options to receive donations to assist those in need because of this storm throughout the Carolinas.
One option is giving by text.
Another option is to give online. Click the give now button and select fund "South Carolina Disaster Response."
The SC Emergency Management Division has advised that South Carolina prepare for the Hurricane Florence. Please visit their website for tips on how to prepare, knowing your zone, when to evacuate and more.
Places follow the most up to date information.
Please stay in touch with the Synod Office though email, our website contact form, and social media and let us know as soon as possible any damage or issues. We would also like to know to share what information we have on this page. Remember, our office is closed on Fridays. So, there will be no one to answer your calls. The current track of the storm puts it between the Myrtle Beach area and as far north as Norfolk, VA. We strongly urge you to follow local authorities guidance in the times of disaster.
This page will be updated as information is made available. The information on the page will include closures, evacuations, and shelters as the information is made available.
With the approaching severe weather due to Hurricane Florence, the South Carolina Lutheran Retreat Centers would like to once again offer emergency housing at Camp Kinard (Batesburg-Leesville, SC) to those forced to evacuate the coast.
There is no charge for lodging (donations to this ministry are accepted) and guests are able to check-in beginning this afternoon (Wednesday, September 12, 2018).
For more info or to make a reservation, please contact Elliott Cox at elliott@sclrc.com" target="_blank">elliott@sclrc.com.
Due to occasional severe allergies of the guests we serve, please note that our facility is pet free. An area individual has graciously offered to host a small number pets in need of a place to stay while guests stay with us here at camp. Due to our limited space, housing is also be offered to those traveling from at least 75 miles away.
Lutheridge has some housing available for those who are evacuating. They can contact Angie Yates at ayates@novusway.org" target="_blank">ayates@novusway.org or 828-209-6328.
All of you are aware that we had to cancel the Boundary Training Workshop which was scheduled for September 11, 2018. We felt that was the best decision we could make given the evacuation orders, school closures and Interstate lane reversals to keep everyone off the roads and as safe as possible as Hurricane Florence approached the coastline of the Carolinas. We are praying for everyone's safety.
We have rescheduled the Boundary Training Workshop for Thursday, November 15th at Zion Lutheran Church ~ 226 Corley Mill Road ~ Lexington, SC. The first session is 9:30 – 11:30 am. the second session is 1:00 – 3:15 pm. Lunch is on your own. Information about places to eat in the area will be shared when you get there.
This Boundary Training Workshop is a repeat of the one we offered in January 2018. It is provided for the convenience of those who were unable to be present earlier in the year. If you participated in the January Training you do not need to attend this one, but we hope that all of our leaders will have taken advantage of one or the other times that this was offered. Each leader who participates will receive a certificate of completion and a copy of that certificate is placed on your file. If you have already taken a Boundary Training course elsewhere, you do not need to come to the training we are providing. Please send us a copy of your certificate if you haven't already done so.
This weekends Newberry College football game that was to be the center point of of the Lutheran Day has been postponed. Both the game and the Lutheran Day are being rescheduled. Details as they become available.
The First Annual Fall Festival will be held Thursday, October 25, 2018 from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. This festive time features a cook off with Chef Zack and the Richland County Sheriff's Department. There will be games, pumpkin painting, a bounce house, car show and photo booth.
Join in the fun of the Fall Festival and 5k Rock Trail Race at Lutherock on October 5-7, 2018.
Who doesn't love when the leaves start to change to beautiful yellows, oranges, and red? The Fall Festival and The Rock 5k Trail Race give you the wonderful opportunity to enjoy the fall weather. Spend time apple picking, using the high ropes course and zip line, apple cider pressing, campfires and much more!
For Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, Isaiah 43:1-7 is one of the most hopeful and lovely passages in all of Scripture. Find out why in her September column for Living Lutheran, where she says it is possible for us to fear and fear not. Read her column in English and her column in Spanish.
Join us Saturday October 27, 2018 in Fargo, ND or livestreamed into your church or living room!
We had great success with our speakers last April in Omaha. Each speaker took 20 minutes to cover a topic and we called it Mantalk. That was LMM's first time to do a live event from coast to coast. The feedback was so positive that we knew LMM had to find more speakers and do it again.
This time we will be broadcasting from the south campus of Hope Lutheran church in Fargo, ND. Right now we are getting the last couple speakers to commit, submit their bios and provide an overview of their topic.
The theme of this BOLD Gathering is Endurance!
Bold and Daring followers of Jesus Christ.
and the crew in Fargo will give you a great event.

8 Apr 2019 Boston - NVIDIA and the American College of Radiology (ACR) have signed a collaboration to enable thousands of radiologists nationwide to create and use AI for diagnostic radiology in their own facilities, using their own data, to meet their own clinical needs.
Following a successful three-month pilot programme by both parties, ACR is integrating the NVIDIA Clara AI toolkit into the newly announced ACR Data Science Institute ACR AI-LAB, a free software platform that will be made available to more than 38,000 ACR members and other radiology professionals to build, share, locally adapt and validate AI algorithms, while also ensuring patient data stays protected at the local institution.
Making the vision of the ACR AI-LAB a reality requires the collaboration of the entire ecosystem, including industry leaders GE Healthcare, Nuance and NVIDIA, along with a vast network of health care start-ups and leading research institutes. NVIDIA Clara powers GE Healthcare's Edison AI platform and the Nuance AI Marketplace, both of which are supporting the AI-LAB and are key solutions for the deployment of AI within the radiology workflow.
"This collaboration marks a significant milestone in an extraordinary ACR Data Science Institute project, helping enable the launch of the ACR AI-LAB, giving radiologists in any practice environment an opportunity to become involved in AI development at their own institutions, using their own patient data to meet their own clinical needs", stated Bibb Allen Jr., M.D., FACR and chief medical officer of the Data Science Institute at the American College of Radiology.
"NVIDIA builds platforms that democratize the use of AI and we purpose-built the Clara AI toolkit to give every radiologist the opportunity to develop AI tools that are customized to their patients and their clinical practice", stated Kimberly Powell, vice president of Healthcare at NVIDIA. "Our successful pilot with the ACR is the first of many that will make AI more accessible to the entire field of radiology."
An initial pilot with the Ohio State University (OSU) and the Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital's Center for Clinical Data Science (CCDS) helped NVIDIA and ACR define the assets and pathways necessary to enable facilities to work together and with industry to refine AI algorithms without sharing potentially sensitive patient data. Bringing an AI model to the patient data, instead of patient data to the model, can help increase diversity in algorithm training, facilitate validation of the algorithms and enable radiologists to learn the steps needed to adapt algorithms to their institutions' clinical needs.
"This software will offer radiologists, without computer programming experience, the ability to build and improve AI algorithms without the need to share their data", stated Keith Dreyer, D.O., Ph.D., chief data science officer at Partners Healthcare and associate professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School. "Algorithms typically work best within the sites where they were trained, but those limited training sets are not always representative of the population at large. Training AI models on data from diverse sites helps ensure resiliency while reducing algorithm bias, resulting in improved inference across broader populations."
"Enabling a network of artificial intelligence between hospitals will create more robust algorithms, greater efficiencies and likely lead to better patient outcomes", stated Dr. Richard White, chair of the department of Radiology and Medical Imaging Informatics at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. "This will give us access to high-quality algorithms that will help us accelerate deep learning and machine learning in health care."
The architecture used in the pilot programme, powered by the NVIDIA Clara AI toolkit, enables data aggregation, image annotation, image pre-processing and transformation, algorithm transfer and local computing for algorithm improvement, all of which are necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of the democratization of AI.
"Democratizing AI takes not only state-of-the-art technology, but also close collaboration among industry leaders", stated Keith Bigelow, senior vice president of Edison Portfolio Strategy at GE Healthcare. "By supporting the ACR community's AI-LAB efforts and harnessing the power of NVIDIA's Clara AI platform, GE Healthcare can lower costs and improve patient outcomes by accelerating the number of algorithms created and seamlessly deployed to Edison-powered healthcare devices and applications in hospitals nationwide. GE Healthcare looks forward to enabling the fastest path to compliant and productive use of ACR AI-LAB algorithms in our world leading medical devices and workflow applications."
"Combining the strength of the NVIDIA Clara AI platform with the scale of the Nuance AI Marketplace for Diagnostic Imaging will empower ACR AI-LAB developers to rapidly build and seamlessly deploy AI algorithms into the existing clinical workflows of over 70 percent of all radiologists across more than 5,800 connected health care facilities", stated Karen Holzberger, vice president and general manager of Healthcare Diagnostics at Nuance. "Furthermore, the ubiquitous footprint of Nuance PowerScribe radiology reporting and PowerShare image-sharing solutions provides subscribers of our AI Marketplace with immediate access to the largest storefront of imaging AI algorithms that can be automatically integrated into the radiology reporting and interpretation tools they use every day."
The ACR AI-LAB builds upon the ACR TRIAD (Transfer of Images and Data), a platform that already connects thousands of radiology practices for ACR research, accreditation and registry programme. Through the ACR AI-LAB, these same radiologists will now be provided with user-friendly computational tools that will help them learn about annotating datasets and training AI models as well as sample the AI tools that can be used to train and modify existing AI algorithms.


Thanks so much everyone! I can't tell you how excited I am now that DH has successfully funded. The game has had a storied past just getting off the ground. It's because of fans like you I put forth the effort I did, and worked so hard to make this happen.
I couldn't have done it without my fellow team.
Musician: Ponyo — who created the demo tracks in the demo right now!
Editor: Shadocchi — who translated my crude barbaric english into something understandable!
Writer: Funnyguts — who was both a writer and a creative consultant on the project!
I think a year ago I would have quit by now if there weren't people genuinely interested to read my stories, who got it. The outpouring is so overwhelming that I never expected to reach my goal until the very, very end. I'm incredibly happy DH is funded.
I'm not done yet, as much as you put your faith in me, as much as you give me your opinions about what you like I'll show you cool stuff!
Thank you! I'll be putting up more stretch goals later today with the main update!
Thanks! if you have any more ideas for stretch goals, big or small, please tell me here~!

Q: Illegal call to non-static member function (C++)? I'm developing a game which is based around the user controlling a ball which moves between areas on the screen. The 'map' for the screen is defined in the file ThreeDCubeGame.cpp:
char m_acMapData[MAP_WIDTH][MAP_HEIGHT];

The ThreeDCubeGame.cpp handles most of the stuff to do with the map, but the player (and keyboard input) is controlled by ThreeDCubePlayer.cpp. When a player moves into a new map cell, the game will have to check the contents of that cell and act accordingly. This function in ThreeDCubeGame.cpp is what I am trying to use:
inline char GetMapEntry( int iMapX, int iMapY ) { return m_acMapData[iMapX][iMapY]; }

So, in order to check whether the player is allowed to move into a map cell I use this function call from ThreeDCubePlayer.cpp:
if (ThreeDCubeGame::GetMapEntry(m_iMapX+MAP_OFF_X, m_iMapY+MAP_OFF_Y) == ' ')
{
// do stuff
}

But, when I compile this, I get the warning "error C2352: 'ThreeDCubeGame::GetMapEntry' : illegal call of non-static member function". Is this something to do with the scope of the variables? Is it fixable without redesigning all the code?

A: GetMapEntry is not static so you can't call it without an object of the type ThreeDCubeGame.
Alternatives:
 -Make GetMapEntry static: static inline char GetMapEntry
 -Create an instance of ThreeDCubeGame and do instance.GetMapEntry(

A: class A {
  int i;
public:
  A(): i(0) {}
  int get() const { return i; }
};

int main() {
  A a;
  a.get();  // works
  A::get(); // error C2352
}

There's no object to call the function with.

A: ThreeDCubeGame is a class, not an instance, thus you can only use it to access static members (that is, member function with the keyword static)
You have to instantiate an object of this class to use non-static members
ThreeDCubeGame map;
...
map.GetMapEntry(iMapX, iMapY).

A: You are trying to call a class method. Is that what you intend? Or do you mean for GetMapEntry to be an instance method? If it's a class method, it needs to be marked static. If it's an instance method, you need to call it with an instance of ThreeDCubeGame. Also, is GetMapEntry even a member of a class?

A: The error indicates that your are calling the GetMapEntry function as a static one whereas you have declare it as a member function. You need to:

*

*call it via an instance of ThreeDCubeGame: threedcubegameinstance.GetMapEntry(),

*declare the GetMapEntry function as static (add a static before inline and make m_acMapData static too).

A: You're missing the "static" keyword.
// .h
class Playfield
{
public:
  static char GetTile( int x, int y );
  // static on a method means no 'this' is involved
};

// .cpp
static char tiles[10][10] = {};
// static on vars in .cpp prevents access from outside this .cpp

char Playfield::GetTile( int x, int y )
{
  // handle invalid args

  // return tile
  return tiles[x][y];
}

There's other options if you want only one unique playfield:
You can make Playfield a singleton, turn it into a namespace or use global functions.
The result is the same from the caller's point of view.
On a side note:
Since all of these use a static and/or global variable it's inherently not thread-safe.
If you require multiple playfields and/or want to play safe with multi-threadding and/or want to absolutely do it in an OOP fashion, you will need an instance of Playfield to call the function on (the 'this' pointer):
class Playfield
{
public:
   char GetTile( int x, int y ) const { return this->tiles[x][y]; }
   // you can omit 'this->', but it's inherently present because
   // the method is not marked as static
public:
   Playfield()
   { /*you will have to initialize 'this->tiles' here because
       you cannot use the struct initializer '= {}' on member vars*/ }

private:
   char tiles[10][10];
};

The calling code would use Playfield like this:
void main()
{
  // static version
  char tile11 = Playfield::GetTile( 1, 1 );

  // non-static version
  Playfield myPlayfield;
  char tile12 = myPlayfield.GetTile( 1, 2 );
}

A: It can be useful to have a class containing a collection of functions, without any data members, if you don't want to expose the helper-functions.
Otherwise it would be more practical to use a namespace to collect these functions in.
Example:
class Solvers
{
public:
  void solve_a(std::vector<int> data);
  void solve_b(std::vector<int> data, int value);
private:
  int helper_a(int a, int b);
}

But a class needs to be initialised before use.
The simplest way to make these functions usable would be to mark them static in the class:
static void solve_a(std::vector<int> data);
Then the member-functions can be used as:
Solver::solve_a(my_vector);
Another way would be to initialise the class before using:
Solver solver;
solver.solve_a(my_vector);
And the third method, not mentioned before, is by default initialising it during use:
Solver().solve_a(my_vector);

Today I stayed with the peloton over the main climb, but as the peloton stretched out on a fast descent, a rider up ahead caused a gap, which caused a split and created a grupetto. We attempted to bridge back to the peloton, but due to the main breakaway and constant attacks up front, and the resulting high speed of the peloton, we were unable to make contact again. I crossed the line in the large grupetto, in 105th place, 7.36 behind the winner.
My team mate Adrian Garcia finished in the bunch sprint in 51st place, with Ignacio finishing in 57th place, Alonso in 62nd, and Alvaro in 67th, all at 13 seconds.
Today was a tougher stage with higher climbs, and I was feeling stronger than yesterday, but on the first climb I had a puncture. My team car assisted and changed the wheel, and I set off to catch the peloton, but the rim on the spare wheel was too, wide and was rubbing on my brakes, so I had to stop again and readjust the brake caliper.
By the time I got going again, I had lost a lot of time, so I draughted the team cars and attempted to make my way back to the peleton. The terrain was lumpy, and although I saw the peloton up ahead, and I managed to get within around probably 20 seconds, someone attacked off the front and the peloton started going at full gas, so I couldn't make it back on, and I ended up in the grupetto at the back of the race.
It was disappointing because I felt good today, and I was unlucky with the wheel change. I have a very long journey back to Madrid now, and I need to eat and get a good night's sleep, as tomorrow I will be travelling again, this time from Madrid to Alicante, for the race on Tuesday. Let's do it!

In this final Unplanned As Always Video in South East Asia, it was time to shave!
Now for a lot of people this may not seem strange. Most men shave on a daily basis, unless of course they have grown the manliest of accessories, a beard!
For me, I had been looking after this one for 3 months. I felt like we were close friends. So saying goodbye was hard.
Tried out a couple of new looks. So full beard, to a goatee, to a handlebar moustache, to a twirly moustache and then clean shaven.
It's a bit of fun more than anything else, but hope you enjoy. Going to be taking a little break from the Unplanned As Always series. Hopefully will be back with a new set of videos soon. Subscribe and remember, life is more fun when it's unplanned.
Let the adventure take you somewhere.
Check out the video and enjoy.

Value-added services are a part of telecommunication industry which includes all the services apart from voice calls and fax transmission. Their main motive is to enhance the actual/standard value of the product/service. If we talk about mobile phones: SMS, MMS and data access are the value-added services.
Revenue Assurance has always been a critical area for the VAS providers. It helps in determining the financial performance of the business. But due to revenue leakages, the VAS providers are facing issues. Hence BI tool/model is designed to analyse/ identify these loopholes.
How can the businesses measure the effectiveness of the services provided by them? Answer is Key performance Indicators (KPI).
KPIs are used as a tool that enables the tracking of the performance of the services. It also helps in identifying the risks that are associated and the mitigation steps that should be implemented to avoid them. It helps in improving the effectiveness of the services. The organization is able to understand that how well they are performing with respect to their strategic goals and objectives.
Company Profile: Aircel is a fifth largest Mobile service provider based in India. It has a subscriber base of about 83.05 million subscribers with revenue of $1.159 billion USD.
Problem: The amount of data generated from continuously growing customers was beyond the capabilities of normal spreadsheets to process. The biggest challenge was to get the granular data i.e. to get a view of single customer. Even though group of customers might have similar products and services, they might have different usage behaviour or patterns based on their segments, geographies and devices used. Getting such insights was a challenge for Aircel.
Solution: Aircel decided to use BI technology to tackle this problem. For that, they evaluated different BI tools and found one. BI facilitated customer profiling. The subscriber usage, payment and VAS behaviour helped in designing specific plans for different types of subscribers. Having a standard business intelligence platform has helped Aircel standardize definitions of major KPIs and ensure consistent availability of data with agreed logic. This reduced data revalidation efforts and the need for offline spreadmarts to support local logic.

Q: Why is eval not bound in REPL? I'm learning clojure, I'm trying to experiment in the clojure REPL using shadow-cljs. I thought eval was part of the clojure.core, but using this
(eval (list + 1 2))

produces Error: cljs.core/*eval* not bound
I also tried this but got the same error
(require `clojure.core)
(clojure.core/eval (list + 1 2))

Why is this?

A: You are likely using a ClojureScript REPL where eval only works as part of self-hosted builds which require additional setup. clojure.core is automatically aliased to cljs.core as part of the compiler, that is why you get the cljs.core/*eval* error.
If you intend to do actual Clojure REPL work you should use
shadow-cljs clj-repl

which will give you a pure Clojure REPL.


2.25CT Round Engagement Ring band set Diamond Simulant 14k Yellow Gold Bridal. Our Stones are Amorphous Simulated Diamonds You are not purchasing Natural or Lab created diamonds. The only difference between Natural and lab created diamonds is that fact that lab created diamonds were not created naturally. A lab created diamond is one that is the same as a natural diamond in every way and passes the diamond test just like a natural diamond. Through the use of ADT (amorphous diamond technology) technology man-made simulated diamond crystals are infused into simulated crystals to create a diamond top that is made of pure carbon SP3 bonds. This adds a thick layer of organized lattice on the surface of these stones and allows them to convey a look and feel that approximates authentic diamonds. The upper layer of carbon lends a sparkle to these stones that makes them stand out among the other stones. Are Amorphous Simulated Diamonds the Same as Natural or lab created Diamonds? No, although they look very similar and have a layer of carbon, they are not Natural Diamond and do not pass Diamond test. · According to Kimberley Processs definition, a conflict free diamond is a diamond that does not finance civil wars. This means even certified diamonds are not necessarily free of human right abuses. Laboratory-created diamonds are completely and 100% beyond conflict free. · Our stones are created as a result of fair laboratory practices in environmentally responsible conditions. · These stones are incredibly tough and durable. In fact, we believe in the quality of our stones so much that we offer LIFETIME WARRANTIES on them. · It also doesnt hurt that our products have all the luster and brilliance of perfect natural stones at a fraction of the price. Diamond is one of the worlds most popular gemstones. Its dazzling appearance and universal appeal have inspired a wide variety of less-expensive look-alike materials. Some of them come from the ground, and other from the lab. As jewelry designers and manufacturers, at Clara Pucci, we know that magnificent natural diamond jewelry is out of reach for many people. Our goal is to reduce the cost of stylish rings, necklaces and earrings simply by using a more affordable lab-created alternative. As a result of the global advancement of technology, gemology, which is one of the oldest industries in human history, has progressed tremendously in recent decades. This has made jewelry shopping a bit complicated for those whom are not fully verse in its language. The other problem is that there are some divergence in both consensus and terminology, even amongst experts, which has not only added to this complication but unfortunately has created opportunity for some to take advantage of buyers misinformation. As a result it is essential for us to conspicuously explain the true nature of our products, so buyers can make informed and conscious decisions. Purchasing jewelry could be a hassle, especially for those who know little about them. We understand that the jewelry industry has expanded exponentially beyond the bounds of precious gems. This has not only diversified industry products in terms of design-options but has also broadened the range of prices available for products of similar design. Unfortunately, this provides an opportunity for dishonest sellers to hide the true nature of their products and take advantage of the fact that most buyers are not experts in the field. Clara Pucci is a design, manufacturing and retailer of unique jewelry located in the center of the largest Jewelry District in California. We offer the highest quality jewelry products and materials in a broad range of styles. They are created, designed and manufactured here in Los Angeles and are available at competitive prices.

Tanzania Outreach Camp
Tree hundred and sixty kids attended this Young Life camp in Dar Es Salaam early this June. This included 76 kids from Muslim backgrounds, two kids with disabilities, seven orphans and six teen moms. They were led by 33 faithful leaders and served by 38 work-crew members, who all tirelessly worked to show them the love of Christ in everything they did. Leah is one of 125 girls who came to camp, and is 17-years-old. Two years ago, Leah became pregnant and confided only in her father because of their close relationship. While Leah's dad felt angry and betrayed, he ended up paying for an abortion so she could stay in school. Eventually, Leah's guilt became overwhelming, and she came clean to her mother about her aborted pregnancy and her father's help. Her mother was deeply hurt by this, and left the family soon after.
But one day she met Esther, a Young Life leader in her community. That was the day Leah found hope.
This made Leah's father resent her even more, and one day came home after drinking too much and kicked her out of the house. Now, Leah lives with her grandmother and is wrecked with guilt because of her broken family and aborted child. She would even go so far as to exclaim "I deserve to die" in moments of utter despair. But one day she met Esther, a Young Life leader in her community. That was the day Leah found hope. They developed a friendship and Esther invited her to come to camp. At camp, Leah and Esther were having their "one-on-one" session, where leaders and campers get to talk individually and reflect on the camp together. Here, Leah turned to Esther and said "I trust you," before sharing her whole story – the brokenness, the pain, the shame – with Esther. After hearing the whole story of the cross, of Jesus' life and death and resurrection, and His great love for us, Leah boldly stood and agreed to give Jesus her life. She was one of 192 kids who gave their lives to Christ at this camp. One of the 192 kids who experienced hope, redemption and love because of Young Life, but really because of Jesus. Pray for these believers as they learn how to walk daily with Jesus and trust Him more in the midst of pain, brokenness and shame.

Twitter is finally figuring out how to turn data into dollars
Twitter is sitting on a goldmine. The gold is all our tweets. And now, the extraction process has begun.
Kate Knibbs
Published Feb 12, 2014 Updated May 31, 2021, 6:35 pm CDT
Twitter's first earnings call didn't go as well as it could have: stock prices fell nearly as hard as Woody Allen's reputation after investors got worried the blue bird wasn't growing quickly enough.
Twitter's revenue results weren't bad, really, but because monthly active user growth has slowed, there's legitimate concern that Twitter is losing some momentum. Especially compared to Facebook, which just released its earnings report and showed everyone that it means business. And next to Facebook's major mobile bragging rights, Twitter's quarterly results looked even more uninspiring.
But the earnings report is not the most interesting announcement Twitter has made in the past few weeks.
The micro-blogging service announced two separate partnerships centered around data licensing. That these partnerships are coming in quick succession isn't a coincidence. This is part of a larger strategy to turn social data into a business. And Twitter has plenty of social data.
The first partnership, with a company called Dataminr, shows that Twitter recognizes the value of big data analysis. Dataminr is a five-year-old startup that helps financial institutes make decisions based on social data. The company has proprietary algorithms it deploys to identify information relevant to its clients.
These algorithms are so accurate they already impacted global finance. When the AP was hacked and spread a rumor on Twitter that the White House was under attack, it tanked the Dow Jones Industrial Average, partly because Dataminr scraped the data and sent an alert to its clients. Even though Dataminr exacerbated the financial plummet, it also helped quickly fix the damage, sending notice to its clients that the information was false even before the AP could address the issue. The incident highlights the power a social network can have on the stock market, for better or worse. Correctly harnessing this power is what Datraminr, and now Twitter, are trying to do.
Dataminr originally used Twitter data to help finance clients, but its information torquing techniques can be applied to almost anything. For this initial alliance, Dataminr will make a product called Dataminr for News, and use pattern-recognizing algorithms to tell CNN when something noteworthy is going on. The new Twitter partnership will help journalists break news, and Dataminr's algorithms could also be applied to improve emergency alert systems, to detect crimes, to pinpoint emerging artists, and so on and so forth.
The second data partnership Twitter just announced, with music company 300, is another mutually-beneficial arrangement where Twitter supplies the data and 300 will create tools to analyze it. 300 will attempt to identify emerging musical acts, building software that scrapes Twitter's public feed to cull the most promising talents.
This is a more specialized agenda, and it shows that Twitter is looking to establish data-based partnerships with companies with broader specialities; unlike Dataminr, which exclusively analyzes data and creates alerts, 300 is more of a full-service music content company. Twitter has not publicly acknowledged what 300 will do with the software it creates, but Twitter could use the experience to delve into developing native analysis softwares, or, once the value of the software is proven, it could begin charging 300 or businesses like it for access to the data spigot. Perhaps music labels would want a peek at what Soundcloud artists we're busy tweeting about.
Both of these partnerships indicate that Twitter is serious about growing its reputation as a data provider, and while they are strategic and aren't bringing in substantial revenue for Twitter, that could change. In the first half of 2013, Twitter's data licensing revenue increased 53 percent through monetized partnerships with data resellers. Gnip and DataSift resell Twitter data to places like Klout, paying Twitter for the privilege. If Twitter's non-paid strategic partnerships raise the company's profile as a valuable data source, it will increase the prices for data licensing across the board. Right now, Twitter is approaching its data partnerships and licensing arrangements like a much younger and less established company, giving things out for free or for low rates, but if it gets companies to depend on its data, it can jack up the prices. Don't discount the possibility of Twitter going native with data analysis, which is something Time's Victor Luckerson has suggested.
Of course, Twitter's data is only valuable if people keep tweeting in real-time. The company needs to remain a relevant digital destination for expressing opinions and sharing news if its data is going to remain worth paying money for. The company doesn't need as many users as Facebook, but it needs enough users to be an approximate public opinion barometer—so its slow growth rate is a concern.
Twitter hasn't publicly announced its intentions to expand its data licensing program, but expect more partnership announcements in the first half of 2014. Twitter is well on its way to securing a position as the data broker to beat.

Q: How to make subscripts from list? I want to make list of subscripted symbols in functional way. So that given edges list I can get something like the list below/
edges = {1 \[DirectedEdge] 3, 1 \[DirectedEdge] 5, 2 \[DirectedEdge] 1,
     2 \[DirectedEdge] 6, 5 \[DirectedEdge] 2, 5 \[DirectedEdge] 6,
     6 \[DirectedEdge] 1, 6 \[DirectedEdge] 4}
{Subscript[x, 1 \[DirectedEdge] 3], Subscript[x,
 1 \[DirectedEdge] 5], Subscript[x, 2 \[DirectedEdge] 1], Subscript[x,
  2 \[DirectedEdge] 6], Subscript[x,
 5 \[DirectedEdge] 2], Subscript[x, 5 \[DirectedEdge] 6], Subscript[x,
  6 \[DirectedEdge] 1], Subscript[x, 6 \[DirectedEdge] 4]}

A: Found solution by myself.
Subscript[x, #] & /@ edges

My mistake was that I tried
Subscript[x, #&]  /@ edges
