Michael Whitaker Smith (Kenova (West Virginia), 7 oktober 1957) is een Amerikaanse gospel- en praiseartiest. Michael W. Smith schrijft voornamelijk muziek gebaseerd op zijn jeugd, geloof en levensverhalen van anderen. Hij hoopt hier zijn luisteraars mee te inspireren en bemoedigen. Hij brengt tevens instrumentale muziek, kerstmuziek en popmuziek uit.

Biografie
Smith groeide op in zijn geboorteplaats Kenova, als zoon van een olieraffinaderijwerker. Smith kwam als kind in aanraking met muziek via zijn kerk en hij leerde op een jonge leeftijd piano te spelen. Tegen zijn tiende levensjaar aan werd hij overtuigd christen en begon hij met enkele vrienden een band. Het ging goed met Smith, totdat hij na zijn highschool-periode verslaafd raakte aan alcohol- en harddrugs. Hij stortte in die tijd, in 1979, geestelijk in. Dit bracht een proces op gang waarin hij het christelijk geloof aannam, wat zijn leven ingrijpend veranderde. Smith besloot om zijn leven (opnieuw) toe te wijden aan Jezus. Niet veel later werd hij lid van de band 'Higher Ground' en was hij keyboard-speler, ondertussen kickte hij af van zijn verslavingen. Een bedrijf was erg geïnteresseerd in zijn songteksten en Smith begon teksten te schrijven voor bekende artiesten als Sandi Patti, Kathy Troccoli en Amy Grant. Enkele jaren later toerde hij met Amy Grant als toetsenist.

Doorbraak
In 1983 kwam zijn debuut op de markt, en dat kan worden gezien als de echte start van zijn carrière. Zijn doorbraak kwam in 1990 met zijn album Go West Young Man. Zijn hit Place in this world zorgde ervoor dat Smith onderdeel werd van de mainstream seculiere wereld. Bijkomend effect was ook toen Smith in 1992 door People Magazine op een lijst van 50 mooiste mensen werd geplaatst. In 2000 werd zijn nummer Love me good gecoverd door René Froger die het nummer op 3FM gehoord had in het EO-radioprogramma SPOOR 7 van DJ Jan Dirk Kleijne. .

Vele albums volgden en in 2001 maakte hij opnieuw een grote doorbraak in de muziekmarkt. Zijn album 'Worship', dat uitkwam op 11 september 2001, werd een ongekend grote hit en Smith werd hiermee voor veel christenen een belangrijke leider in worship (aanbiddingsmuziek). Hij bleef een tijd bezig in dit genre, maar kwam in 2004 terug met een vertrouwd klinkende popplaat: 'Healing Rain'.

Smith speelde in een film, geregisseerd door de vooral als zanger bekendstaande Amerikaan Steve Taylor, genaamd 'The Second Chance'. De film kwam begin 2006 uit. Smith speelt het personage Ethan Jenkins, een muzikale pastor in een grote kerk.

Het twintigste album van Smith, 'Stand', kwam november 2006 uit. Voor maart 2007 stond er een Europese tour gepland, maar omdat Smith tegen die tijd opa hoopte te worden, werd het uitgesteld tot oktober 2007. In 2007 kwam hij twee keer naar Nederland: tijdens het XNoizz Flevo Festival op 16 augustus en op 6 oktober tijdens de EO-Gezinsdag in het GelreDome te Arnhem. 's Avonds gaf hij daar een concert samen met Darlene Zschech. Op 16 oktober 2007 verscheen er een nieuw kerstalbum van Smith, genaamd 'It's A Wonderful Christmas'. In april van dat jaar kreeg hij een ster in de Music City Walk of Fame in Nashville.

Op 28 oktober 2008 kwam het album 'A New Hallelujah' uit, in navolging van de 2 live-worshipalbums. De plaat is op 20 juni 2008 opgenomen tijdens een concert in de megakerk 'Lakewood Church' in Houston (Texas), samen met aanbiddingsleiders Israel Houghton en Coalo Zamorano, een 250 koppen tellend koor en een Afrikaans kinderkoor. Zelf betitelt Smith het project als "het meest wereldwijde worshipproject in mijn hele carrière". Het album bevat 15 nummers inclusief een aantal klassiekers, zoals 'Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone', 'Mighty To Save' en 'I Surrender All'. De titelsong schreef Smith samen met zijn vrouw Debbie en vriend Paul Baloche. Op 12 juni 2009 trad Smith op in het GelreDome met zijn nieuwe album. De dag erna was hij te gast bij de 35e EO-Jongerendag.

Bijna twee jaar nadat het album 'A New Hallelujah' werd uitgebracht, kwam Smith op 28 september 2010 met een nieuw studioalbum: 'Wonder'. Een jaar later, op 22 november 2011, kwam de opvolger van het instrumentale album 'Freedom' uit. Op het album, genaamd 'Glory', staan twaalf nummers, waaronder een muzikale versie van de klassieker 'Agnus Dei'.

Smith begon het jaar 2014 productief. In maart kwam er een 'exclusief' album met 'hymns' op de markt en twee maanden later kwam zijn 25e album (voor het eerst vanuit een ander platenlabel) uit: 'Sovereign'. Smith sloeg met dit album een andere koers in.
Op 30 april 2015 gaf Smith een concert in Ahoy' Rotterdam voor meer dan 5500 toeschouwers.

In 2018 tourde Smith opnieuw door Europa waarbij hij in de Basiliek in Veenendaal en opnieuw in Ahoy Rotterdam optrad. Deze tour stond in het teken van de promotie van zijn 2 albums die hij in 2018 uitbracht: "Surrounded" een worship album en " A Million Lights" een pop album.

Persoonlijk
Michael W. Smith is in 1981 getrouwd met Debbie en samen hebben ze vijf kinderen.

JNC THEATER: Behind the scenes with JDM Legends on the eve of their Velocity Channel premiere
Posted on April 16, 2018 by Ben Hsu
Until now, the world of automotive-themed television shows has been pretty lackluster when it comes to Japanese cars. That's all about to change with the Velocity Channel's JDM Legends, titled after the Utah shop of the same name and premiering tomorrow, April 17. We interviewed shop co-founder Eric Bizek to get his insights on classic Japanese cars, what it takes to make a TV program, and what to expect on the show.
We at JNC have known Eric for a long time. We've featured JDM Legend's cars on our site, hosted their cars in our booth at JCCS, and shared livery on Hot Wheels cars. The Salt Lake City-based shop was established about a decade ago, around the same time as JNC's founding, and we have watched each other grow over the years as appreciation for Japanese classic cars has expanded in the US.
As such, we were thrilled to hear that JDM Legends was getting its own show and representing the J-tin community to a national audience. However, we were also skeptical, having seen far too many misrepresentations of Japanese cars in mainstream media and plenty of car shows that offer little of value about the actual cars. This is not an indictment of Eric or his shop, but of producers and editors who might not be enthusiasts themselves. Our conversation with Eric addressed these concerns, and much more.
Like most of us, Eric's first question was, "What is this show going to be about?" when producers pitched him the show idea. "I didn't even have Velocity Channel. What I had seen was on TLC or Discovery, and those show were very scripted, with fake arguments and deadlines. We didn't want to do that."
One thing you should know about Eric is that he is a humble man. He doesn't seek fame, and is perfectly happy working on cars every day. Despite the top-notch quality of JDM Legends' builds, the shop is mostly a two-man operation, with Eric and restoration specialist Josh Martin doing the bulk of the work. Paint is outsourced to Mauricio Rosales, and Eric's wife Naomi Perkins helps run the day-to-day aspects of the shop.
"Four different producers had called," Eric told us. "A lot of these guys had no clue about the Japanese car scene or culture, they just wanted the show. I was absolutely not interested."
Keep in mind, not all programs on a TV channel are produced in-house. Various small production companies pitch, create, and package shows and then sell them to the networks. Velocity had put out an APB for a show about Japanese cars, prompting production companies to scour the community for material.
"One of the ideas I got pitched was called Master and Apprentice, but I didn't want to do that," Eric said about the contrived premise. Eventually, a producer who seemed to be on the same page appeared. "Then the last guy came to me. This guy just wanted to be a fly on the wall."
Still, Eric put it off for 10 months before agreeing to do it. "At the end of the day, they were going to do a Japanese car show about somebody," he said. "It could have been West Coast Customs." At least with JDM Legends, the right message would get out there.
"The whole idea, for me, is breaking the stigma that Japanese cars have from people outside the scene," Eric explained. "It's different than what the general public sees. The Fast and the Furious may have had a positive effect on the scene, but was done in a way that, I think most of can agree, is not the way the cars should be portrayed — gigantic exhausts, neon colors, big wings."
What Eric wanted to convey was something we at JNC have long believed in: "For me, it was about the other side of the Japanese car world — keeping it tasteful, keeping it classic, and showing the mainstream audience a side they might not know about."
As it turns out, the same company that Eric said yes to also produces the muscle car show Bitchin' Rides, which is based on Kindig It Designs, located right down the street from JDM Legends. They were able to reassure Eric that they wouldn't do anything he didn't feel comfortable with.
Filming began in June 2017. "It was absolutely terrifying when we first started," said Eric. "I'm not a public person, and I don't want to be a spokesperson for this scene." On a typical morning, Eric and Josh open the shop and turn on some music and get to work. "The first day on camera," Eric noted, "We had to get mic'ed up and as a result had to turn the music off. So now we were working in dead silence."
The number of people in the shop instantly doubled, with two to three camera and sound operators tracking Eric and Josh's every move. "It's really nerve-racking to be on camera for everything you do. You constantly think to yourself, 'Are people going to think I'm doing this wrong?' Being put under a microscope is not fun."
The first season will span six episodes. Each one will consist of a main build and a few short segments unrelated to the primary car. Episode 01 will be a restoration on a 240Z, with a subplot about an imported AE86 that needed very little work. Future episodes will feature a Datsun 510, Hakosuka Skyline, DR30 Skyline, the Datsun 620 shop truck, the black Hot Wheels RX-7, and a visit to JCCS.
If you're wondering why your favorite car was not on the list, it's because this season consisted simply of what the shop had in its workload. "I was hoping to see more variety, but they don't pay us to do this," Eric clarified. "It's about what's coming through the doors right now. An Isuzu Bellett GT-R doesn't get appreciated [in the US] the way it should."
Filming is still going on right now. They're up to episode 05, and the reveal for that is scheduled for this Wednesday, the day after the premiere. Eric gave us an example of how quickly things can change in production. "The last build was supposed to be frame-up restoration, but the car was purchased from auction, and as we got into it we realized it had seven to eight layers of paint and hundreds of patches. We realized we were never going to finish this car in the time we had, so we changed to a Skyline GT-R that spun a rod bearing. It was an S20 motor, and we're going to be filming right up to the week before the last episode."
The camera crew is in the shop four days a week, but it simply isn't possible to get everything on film, or pause work to wait for the crew. "Sometimes the best and most intensive work happens when they're not here," Eric mentioned.
Eric holds high standards in both the cars he builds and what he wants the show to represent. There are certain colors, motor swaps, and wheels he won't do, no matter how much the customer offers. Similarly, there are things he won't do on camera. For example, the promo spots you may have seen were made by a different production company, and during filming, they wanted Eric to face the camera and declare, "It takes a legend to build a legend." He wisely refused.
On other occasions, he had to compromise. "They have to make a story out of it, so we do customer reveals. Sometimes, they want to go to a different location, so it's not in the shop where we would normally do it," Eric explained. "But I told them, every time the grinder comes out we don't need the rock guitar."
A post shared by Eric Bizek (@jdm_legends) on Mar 28, 2018 at 3:06pm PDT
There is a limit to how much control any one person can have in the production. "We do what do in the shop, but once it goes in the edit room, it's out of my hands," Eric admitted, "And those guys aren't necessarily car people." For every 60 minutes of footage, only two minutes makes it on air. "When you condense several months of work into 45 minutes, and it has to look smooth, a lot is lost, but you just have to do your best and be okay with the fact that some things may not be what you want them to be."
Eric says one of the biggest surprises is what it cost to do the show. The producers paid him for shop usage, or time lost, but he estimates that ultimately the shop will be in the hole. "They basically treat it like, 'Here's $300,000 of free advertising.'" I didn't think it would be quite as intrusive as it was, but at the end of the day, I hope it's more exposure for the shop."
Nothing about a second season has been determined yet. Velocity is probably waiting to see how the show does, but it's up to Eric as well. "It comes down to whether they, or we, want to do it. There's no way having sound and camera guys in the shop four days a week isn't going to be a hindrance," he conceded. The show has put a big impact on the shop, and it's been physically and mentally draining. It's taken a lot out of me."
The show is new ground for Velocity Channel, but they need it. According to Eric, the median age of Velocity viewers is is 60 years old. JDM Legends' median market is 25 to 35. We at JNC have enjoyed a more youthful audience as well, as most of our readers were born later than the cars we cover. Velocity needs younger eyeballs, and hopes that a show about Japanese classics will bring them in.
We asked Eric what he wanted people to take away from the show. "We want to show people really cool stuff, what we're into, and in a way that's classic," he replied. "I want for people to have respect for cars from Japan. You see these Alfa guys, but they have the mentality that Japanese cars are beneath them. Hopefully this is where people see what we see — the heritage, performance, and that they can be tasteful."
Eric closed our interview on a more personal note. "I never wanted to be the spokesperson, I'm probably not the best person to do it, but I only who I am. We're not perfect, we make mistakes, but hopefully people see the build process and can have a glimpse of what goes on in our shop." He continued, "Josh and I might not be the funniest or interesting guys on TV. But, if this show is interesting to you it'll be because of the cars we build. We never want to lose sight of why we did this in the first place — because we just like to work on cars."
JDM Legends premieres on Velocity Channel on April 17. Check your local listings for times. For those who don't have a cable subscription, it will also be available on Motor Trend's on-demand app, which has a 14-day trial subscription and costs $4.99 per month afterwards.

I have a lot of respect for Eric and Josh. I've done business with them and truly regard them as friends. As such, I was excited about the show when I first learned about it but was also concerned about them being forced into the repulsive formula followed by most of the build shows on the air. I shared my concern with Eric and he assured me he felt the same way. I met the production crew at JCCS last year and, even though it really wasn't my place, seized the opportunity to express my concerns. I was pleasantly surprised when they were very much in agreement about keeping it professional and avoiding the fake drama. I'm very excited for the great people at JDM Legends and what this show could mean for them and the hobby that is our passion.

Thanks, good to know they're aware of that.

I really enjoyed the first two shows and looling forward to the rest. I'm more or less a fan of muscle cars (Ford's, mostly) but have really taken a liking to the Japanese Classics. I drive a Nissan SUV so I'm kinda partial to the Dataun/Nissan line. I'm really liking the show format which has none of the manufactured drama and gives some great info on the cars. Here's to many years of success going forward.

JDM Legends interviewed me about my JDM Fairlady Z at JCCS last year. They filmed my entire car for about 10 minutes. Hope to see a click of the interview on their Velocity show. That would really be cool!
kitsune said:
Thanks for the tip on Motor Trend's on demand app! Didn't know of that, will have to check it out.
The show sounds interesting, good to hear he tried to avoid the scripted stupid drama that almost every automotive/garage show falls into.
Leon Dixon said:
Interesting. Vintage automotive English language moves increasingly more and more away from reality to TV-mumbo-speak. And TV is worse than magazines when it comes to talking about vintage automobiles. They just use buzzwords and phrases that once had meanings and quickly make them meaningless utterances.
"Fully restored" used to mean fully restored. A concept that automotive fans once understood clearly. "Fully restored" didn't mean hot-rodded or customized. And "restored" used to mean "returned to original condition, appearance and performance."
I'm sorry but no 1984 Mazda RX-7 ever looked like that– at least not in the North American market. Cute idea for the show… but like the shows on American vintage cars… obviously put together for pure wow factor…and for folks not paying serious attention or who don't care or who just wanna see cars on TV–no matter what the hosts and announcers say.
wagonista said:
That RX-7 was built a few years ago, long before they were approached for the show.
Mike Anderson said:
I'm guessing you never watched those cars run in IMSA? They had massive flares. You are right, I think by 1984, the flares were even bigger..
That said, different strokes for different folks, and all that..
j_tso said:
His issue is putting fender flares on a car and calling it restored.
Again… if anyone is paying attention, and even if the whole world has gone mad…the announcer flatly states "1984 Mazda RX-7 FULLY RESTORED." No matter when this car was done and no matter how many flairs and wings and wild wheels IMSA race cars had… this car is NOT "fully restored." And where does it state this is an IMSA race car?
See? It made it onto TV… so the announcer and the show can just make up any mumbo-jumbo and say it and that's great, huh?All perfectly defensible. Just like the ridiculous stuff they say and show on TV in the so-called "classic car" auction shows. And people just sit there like fatted cattle and let it happen.
Having worked for Mazda for 20 years (in the past) and having written the manuals for the 1984 RX-7… and having been at Riverside Raceway (Mazda had its own grandstand there) and lots of other racing venues… and having worked at the very building in Irvine on McGaw Avenue where IMSA cars were prepped every time they came to SoCal… this car is not "fully restored." No matter how anyone wants to morph it. Unless we all choose to abdicate all logic and all history and any understanding of the meanings of the words "fully" and "restored" and the phrase "fully restored" as it applies to automobiles.
The TV shows create their own reality today when it comes to vintage cars. The terminologies are blurred. The realities are blurred. The histories and blurred. And the people they feed this stuff to either don't care or just don't know any better. People don't seem to realize that the TV producers are simply putting video entertainment together for the masses. The kind of stuff that will be approved by whomever is doing the commercials to pay for it all. If one realizes this is all these shows are, that's one thing. If not… then it's quite another.
Nobody wants to deal with TV announcers who stand there with a microphone and utter absurd things like "it's a resto-mod"….it's "restified"… it's a "tribute" (another way of saying it's a fake like a base stripper model that has been turned into a top-of-line model and is being passed off as having the same value). Or "it's all original" (when the thing has been altered in a dozen ways). Or the ultimate… "it's fully restored." Does anyone really know what all this silliness means? Perhaps logic has died. Perhaps reason and automotive history no longer mean anything. Perhaps it is perfectly acceptable today to say one thing and mean another. But when this is all acceptable and excusable… it is no wonder why things are where they are today.
Eric said:
I agree completely with your sentiments Leon, in no way did I ever personally refer to the RX-7 as being "fully restored". It was built rather quickly for the JCCS show and the interior and drive-train still need some attention but unfortunately personal builds get put on the back burner when paying projects (that keep the doors open here) take priority.
These are the types of things that I was referring to when the production company gets the footage in the booth, sometimes they say what they think is right whether it is or not and we do not always have the ability to correct them.
I'm sure this will not be the only instance this happens but it's part of the nature of doing a show like this when you want complete control over the final product but it's not always possible, as much as we would like it to be

Don't you want to hear about how your "RIDE'S" engine has more "ACCELERATION" than stock because the speedometer says the top speed is 150 mph???
You should really watch anything featuring Peter Lyon then…
That's only after you get tired from double-clutching while boosting cars.

I was ready to write this show off as another car build show that has royalty free dad rock playing in the back ground while the producers create fake drama but this actually sounds really promising. I can only hope that this isn't delivered in a condescending tone by the producers…
Jimmy said:
I got to see an early rough draft clip of an episode. The editors and producers did the typical "cliff hanger" before the commercial break. But they didn't do any reality TV drama. Good stuff.
cesariojpn said:
I dunno, whenever i'm at SEMA, I can't STAND Bitchin' Rides, all because of their Shop Foreman. He acts like a total asshole, and I swear thats scripted as hell.
Eric P said:
I'm glad that Eric is pushing back on some of the ideas by the producers. Keep it as close as possible to how the shop truly operates, and you'll have a true audience. I will love to see the work done to these beautiful cars, can't wait. Best of luck guys!
Russell Jones said:
Good luck Josh, wishing you guys the best of luck and success
John Moran said:
I'm glad this show is happening.
I had the same concerns as others about the drama/deadline, but glad to hear the TV aspect is minimized as much as possible.
I have countless Japanese car pictures, ads, small posters, but the one over my desk is a JDM Legends card, maybe 6×8 with a few cars in their shop. I just like the feel of this picture and hope the show has some of the same feel. I wish them the best and am looking forward to tonight.
Thank you again Ben for taking the time out to get some insight on what it means to do a show like this from the insider's perspective. It's not always what you might imagine from the outside looking in.
That being said, I hope everyone out there can take this into perspective and enjoy the show for what it is with an open mind. At the end of the day, we have a great deal of love and respect for these cars and although it will never be perfect and we will never be able to please everyone, we hope you all enjoy watching the process of what goes on here at JDM Legends.
Thanks again to everyone for the kind words and support!
Ben Hsu said:
Eric, thanks for all your efforts in keeping the show (and your shop) as true to the roots of Japanese classics as much as possible. I know it's difficult when you don't have 100 percent creative control, but from what we talked about in the interview I believe this will represent the community well. Like everyone, I'm excited to watch the show and finally see some tasteful Japanese classics represented on TV.
Bahahaha, no pressure.

Ken Kilbourn said:
I just watched the first two episodes on the Motor Trend App. Great job guys!!!! The show was a great change of pace from the usual fare. I hope the show will get the full treatment as it can only help the rest of us. A rising tide raises many boats as they say. Congrats to Eric and Josh!!
Charlie said:
I bought a car from these guys about 4 years ago {moss green 74 Celica GTV} and they were a pleasure to deal with and its no surprise that they are being chosen to represent this scene..
reading this quote from the above article kinda cements the ethos of the guys at JDM legends.
"The Fast and the Furious may have had a positive effect on the scene, but was done in a way that, I think most of can agree, is not the way the cars should be portrayed — gigantic exhausts, neon colors, big wings." well said !
looking very forward to getting home from the shop tonight and perching on the couch for the premier… Best of luck to you guys .

Q: nodejs form not sending any data back in req.body.blog I am creating this blog app from web developer bootcamp annd i am struck in this error where the form to create new blog is not sending any data back to the database and the database is saving it empty. i am using mongodb and when i see my database it is storing empty objects. here is te code for app.js
var express = require("express"),
app = express(),
bodyparser = require("body-parser"),
mongoose = require("mongoose");

mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/restful", {
useMongoClient:true
});

app.set("view engine", "ejs");
app.use(express.static("public"));
app.use(bodyparser.json());

// app.use(bodyparser.json({ type: 'application/vnd.api+json' }));
app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({extended:true}));

//MONGOOSE MODEL CONFIG
//=================================
var blogSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
title: String,
image: String,
body: String,
created: Date //{type: Date, default : Date.now}

});

var blog = mongoose.model("blog" , blogSchema);

// blog.create([{
//     title: "test post",
// image :
"https://imagejournal.org/wpcontent/uploads/2017/08/17140945161_586d5e98f7_o-600x300.jpg",
//     body : "This is the first post"
// },
// {
//   title: "second Post",
//   image: "https://images.pexels.com/photos/33109/fall-autumn-red-
season.jpg?h=350&auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb",
//   body: "this is a second post"
// }]
// );

//RESTful routes
//==========================================
//==========================================

//Home

app.get("/",function(req,res){
res.redirect("/blogs");
})
//NEW ROUTE

app.get("/blogs/new",function(req,res){
  res.render("new");
});

//CREATE ROUTE
 app.post("/blogs", function(req,res){
//create blogs
blog.create(req.body.blog, function(err, newblog){
if(err){
 console.log("This is if error " + err);
res.render("new");
}
else{
//then redirect to the INDEX
res.redirect("/blogs");
console.log("This is if no error " + req.body.blog + "  "+ err );
 }
});
});

//SHOW ROUTE
app.get("/blogs/:id", function(req,res){
 blog.findById(req.params.id, function(err,foundblog){
 if(err){
   res.redirect("/blogs");
 }
 else{
   res.render("show", {blog: foundblog});
 }
 });
});

//INDEX ROUTE
app.get("/blogs", function(req,res){
blog.find({}, function(err,blogs){
    if(err)
        {
            console.log("error");
        }
    else
        {
               res.render("index", {blogs:blogs});

        }
    })
});

//listening port

app.listen(3000,function(){
  console.log("Blog app running");
})

And the code for the form is this :
<% include ./partials/header.ejs %>

New Blog

<form class="ui form" action="/blogs" method="POST">

  Title
  <input type="text" name="blogtitle" placeholder="title">

  Image
<input type="text" name="blogimage" placeholder="image">

Body
<textarea name="blogbody" placeholder="Blog body goes here"></textarea>

<input class="ui inverted big olive button" type="submit" >
</form>

<% include ./partials/footer.ejs %>

Now the console is printing " This is if no error undefined  null "
now what i did is i passed
blog.create({ name: req.body.blogtitle, image:req.body.blogimage, body:
req.body.blogbody} , function(err, newblog){...});

this seems to be working but if I had many parameter in Schema should i have to declare this one by one? In the course colt just typed req.body.blog and said that it contains all the data.
Please help me!

A: According to your HTML inputs you will get the req.body like:
{
    blogtitle: 'your_blog_title',
    blogimage: 'your_blog_image',
    blogbody: 'your_blog_body'
}

Hence you have to use it in the code below for every model and every field.
blog.create({
    name: req.body.blogtitle,
    image: req.body.blogimage,
    body: req.body.blogbody
},function(err, newblog){...});

But if you want to just use directly
// validate req.body.blog
blog.create(req.body.blog, function(err, newblog){...});

then you would have to define you html something like model[field], sample code below.
<form class="ui form" action="/blogs" method="POST">

    Title
    <input type="text" name="blog[title]" placeholder="title">

    Image
    <input type="text" name="blog[image]" placeholder="image">

    Body
    <textarea name="blog[body]" placeholder="Blog body goes here"></textarea>

  <input class="ui inverted big olive button" type="submit" >
</form>

Please notice in order to use req.body.blog directly; you have to give the same field(column name) to the html inputs.

A: The properties of req.body corresponds to the name attributes of the input fields in your <form>. req.body.blog is undefined because you don't have an input element with name="blog".
Try console.log-ing req.body to see its properties so that you know which properties to use. But basing on your <form>, req.body would only have blogtitle, blogimage and blogbody.

A: I think your missed the input names. It should be like blogtitle, blogimage and blogbody when you use it on your server side code. req.body is populated like this:
 { blogtitle: 'your_blog_title',blogimage: 'your_blog_image',blogbody: 'your_blog_body' }

So you have to grab them like req.body.blogtitle
//CREATE ROUTE
app.post("/blogs", function(req,res){
//create blogs
blog.create(req.body.blogtitle, function(err, newblog){
if(err){
  console.log("This is if error " + err);
  res.render("new");
}
else{
//then redirect to the INDEX
  res.redirect("/blogs");
  console.log("This is if no error " + req.body.blogtitle + "  "+ err );
 }
});
});

Promising cricketer and all-round talented sportsman Billy Cookson, made the decision as most aspiring cricketers do, to travel to Australia and pursue his dream.
Left without a club during the English off season, Billy snapped at the chance to 'pro' for Melbourne's, Kyabram Cricket Club, who were certainly excited for the arrival of the talented wicket keeper, batter.
Two weeks after agreeing the deal, Billy would find himself settled into Australian life, and working the first shift of his new day job as a delivery driver. Little did he know, that the events of that day would change his life forever.
His vehicle was involved in a head on collision with a bus, that would leave him in a coma for 6 days. After waking up with his parents next to his bedside, Billy knew something was wrong.
The injuries Billy sustained would result in him needing 18 different surgeries, which would include a fusion of his Radius and Ulna in his right arm.
What is most remarkable about Billy's journey is how he has chosen to react to this unfortunate event. No excuses, no feeling sorry himself. In fact lying in his hospital bed, against all medical opinion, Billy set himself an improbable goal. He wanted to prove to himself that he could not only walk again, but get out onto the pitch and play the game he loves.
He achieved this exactly 1 year to the day, by turning out for Kyabram CC who had supported the young prodigy throughout.
Matt Cookson, Billy's dad arranged a 6 day trip to Australia, around work commitments, to surprise Billy, and be there to walk out with his son, for his return to cricket.
2 Years on and Billy's road to recovery continues on in Australia. The young man from Chippenham has big dreams to continue playing cricket, and involve himself in an event at the Para Olympic games. He also continues to do talks around the country sharing his story.
There is no doubt, he will have his father by his side.

Part number is QM2-3032-000 around $30.00 but a shop should install it. I would recomend that everyone stays away from the pixmas!!! Couldn't have asked for more. This fixed the problem!
then turn on printer, and everything should be a-ok 🙂 hope that helped 🙂 Marco says: July 27, 2010 at 4:15 pm GREAT!!! I was stuck with error code 6100 or whatever, same as your description of problem and thanks to your suggestion - manually moved the print head and in the corner there Just give it a tap and it will fall down, turn off then on and all fixed.I would be willing to bet that the fake ink clogs it by design.

Considering the amount of sticky ink on my fingers, I will defintely follow the instructions on cleaning the purge station. I cleaned the jets and the rollers and also tried using the auto sheet feeded instead of the cassette.
I tried everything else mentioned here, including moving the purge station and pressing on the little ink pad, but nothing worked.I noticed that the white piece was stuck at the front Mary C. Lots and lots of paper towels!!! Thank you so much!!!!
share it with your friends and peer ! I powered the printer on and off again and it's up and running again. Thank you Regards Mike Hi,If you get a 6A00 error it means something is stuck in your printer...it could be a clogged printer head or a paper stuck. Still the same error.

I've tried moving the white assembly and moving the print head back and forth. What Customers are Saying: Wonderful service, prompt, efficient, and accurate.
I took it all apart and cleaned off the residue with plain water and paper towels. I'm reasonably technical but not especially so. Any new ideas please? my local repair shop told me that it was a fatal error and that it would cost too much to fix.
Problem Solved! Any helpful suggestions? - Anonymous I have a Canon mp830 showing error code 6A00. Yes, I got ink-stained, but it worked! with no luck.

I am still hoping someone will post the magic answer before I go by a new printer. Once you open the cover, the printer should move the carriage to the center to allow you to remove/replace ink carts. If printer is in warranty get it replaced by Canon.

Subject to clause (ii), a drug or hormonal substance (other than estrogens, progestins, corticosteroids, and dehydroepiandrosterone) that is not listed in subparagraph (A) and is derived from, or has a chemical structure substantially similar to, 1 or more anabolic steroids listed in subparagraph (A) shall be considered to be an anabolic steroid for purposes of this Act if—
the drug or substance has been created or manufactured with the intent of producing a drug or other substance that either—
promotes muscle growth; or
otherwise causes a pharmacological effect similar to that of testosterone; or
the drug or substance has been, or is intended to be, marketed or otherwise promoted in any manner suggesting that consuming it will promote muscle growth or any other pharmacological effect similar to that of testosterone.
A substance shall not be considered to be a drug or hormonal substance for purposes of this subparagraph if it—

a concentrate, metabolite, or extract of, or a constituent isolated directly from, an herb or other botanical; or
a combination of 2 or more substances described in item (aa) or (bb);

In accordance with section 515(a), any person claiming the benefit of an exemption or exception under clause (ii) shall bear the burden of going forward with the evidence with respect to such exemption or exception.
Classification authority
Section 201 of the Controlled Substances Act ( 21 U.S.C. 811 ) is amended by adding at the end the following:
Temporary and permanent scheduling of recently emerged anabolic steroids
The Attorney General may issue a temporary order adding a drug or other substance to the definition of anabolic steroids if the Attorney General finds that—
the drug or other substance satisfies the criteria for being considered an anabolic steroid under section 102(41) but is not listed in that section or by regulation of the Attorney General as being an anabolic steroid; and
adding such drug or other substance to the definition of anabolic steroids will assist in preventing abuse or misuse of the drug or other substance.
An order issued under paragraph (1) shall not take effect until 30 days after the date of the publication by the Attorney General of a notice in the Federal Register of the intention to issue such order and the grounds upon which such order is to be issued. The order shall expire not later than 24 months after the date it becomes effective, except that the Attorney General may, during the pendency of proceedings under paragraph (6), extend the temporary scheduling order for up to 6 months.
The Attorney General shall transmit notice of an order proposed to be issued under paragraph (1) to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. In issuing an order under paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall take into consideration any comments submitted by the Secretary in response to a notice transmitted pursuant to this paragraph.
A temporary scheduling order issued under paragraph (1) shall be vacated upon the issuance of a permanent scheduling order under paragraph (6).
An order issued under paragraph (1) is not subject to judicial review.
The Attorney General may, by rule, issue a permanent order adding a drug or other substance to the definition of anabolic steroids if such drug or other substance satisfies the criteria for being considered an anabolic steroid under section 102(41). Such rulemaking may be commenced simultaneously with the issuance of the temporary order issued under paragraph (1).
Labeling requirements
False Labeling of Anabolic Steroids
It shall be unlawful to import, export, manufacture, distribute, dispense, or possess with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense, an anabolic steroid or product containing an anabolic steroid, unless the steroid or product bears a label clearly identifying an anabolic steroid or product containing an anabolic steroid by the nomenclature used by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
A product described in subparagraph (B) is exempt from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature requirement of this subsection if such product is labeled in the manner required under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
A product is described in this subparagraph if the product—

A hundred years ago, the world was in the period between the Armistice, signed on November 11, 1918, which brought an end to the fighting in World War I, and the Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28, 1919, which formally ended the world's first global conflict. In the spring of 1919, the local newspaper was still filled with news of the war--of treaty negotiations and of soldiers returning. In the Columbia Republican for April 29, 1919, the article that struck me was this one, which demonstrated once again that a hundred years ago Hudson was always up for a parade.
The parade as to assemble at the "bell corner," where Green Street intersects with Fairview Avenue and an upended bell served as a watering trough for horses. The bell was still there in April 1919, but it wasn't destined to be there for long. Early in 1922, the bell trough was removed from the intersection and placed in Rogers Park, the little traffic island park that now houses Hudson's own "Olympic torch."
My curiosity was piqued by the Whippet tank, wondering first what it was and then why it was passing through Hudson. My first question was easily answered. The following is quoted from the website Owlcation:
The Mark A Whippet was a British medium tank which first saw combat in March of 1918 during the massive German Spring Offensive. They were meant to take advantage of the holes made in German lines by their much heavier and slower cousins, the Mark IV and Mark V tanks. While hundreds of heavy tanks could achieve such breakthroughs, they were too slow and prone to breakdown to exploit their successes. The dream of massed cavalry pouring through enemy lines and disrupting their rear had been killed early on in the war. Flesh could not stand up against machine guns and fields of barbed wire. The Whippet's job was to act like a mechanized cavalry, a job it performed extremely well.
Even more information about the Whippet tank was found in this video from The Great War series.
What the Whippet, a British tank, was doing in Hudson remains a matter of speculation. In 1919, the U.S. Army Ordnance Museum was being established at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, Maryland. (The museum didn't actually open until 1924.) A World War I British Whippet was part of the museum's collection, which in 2010 was moved to Fort Lee, outside Petersburg, Virginia.
Could it be that the Whippet tank that passed through Hudson was on its way to the museum in Aberdeen, Maryland?
Of course, another question raised by the article that appeared in the Columbia Republican on April 29, 1919, is this: "What site was selected by the local committee for the demonstration of "ditch digging, going over embankments and traveling along and snapping down small tress in the way"?

sATL replied to TexasGal's topic in The Real Housewives Of New Jersey
I'm the same way....
I'm still stuck on the post from last week comparing Juicy's calls to" Charlie" on Charlie's Angels.. ROFL... How controlled is ICE when it comes to communications? Jail gets a call or two... Prison gets scheduled earned time.. I mean surely people in an ICE facility aren't spending all day talking to whomever whenever the mood hits them.. In this day of technological progressions - I wouldn't be surprised if there was an "actor" doing the voice-over with the calling. Joe communicates what he would say by email (which would make more sense to have more email privileges than phone calls) for a certain situation, and then the actor places the call, right on queue and topic for Tre to answer.

going out on a limb here... maybe.. just maybe... "frump" is what turns Brandon on... We do know this crowd lives to please their husbands - hence blond Jinger.. I mean surely in all 3-4 years of marriage, where the #1 hobby is baby making, he's said, "honey you sure look pretty today" , " that dress really looks good on you...", " that color really brings out your eyes.."... something to that effect..
one of my DRs outlawed children too and as a patient, who had flu symptoms I was grateful. with my luck - one of my offspring would tell all of my business at the wrong time to the wrong person - so they got left behind.... all it takes is one innocent adult sole to ask " what did you and mommy do today"... Out would have came a 5- 7yr version of words/procedure/gesture, that didn't need to be repeated.

sATL replied to charappleby's topic in Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team
having an offspring who just went though this... it doesn't take an entire day . Many DMVs to take appointments as well as being open on Saturday. Surrender your out of state licence, show ID/residency-address (IE utility bill), take picture, pay $$, and out the door you go. As long as you're in the facility before closing time - they will serve you. My offspring showed up like at 4:50 pm... before the car can be registered that means getting an ins agent in that state, which is a phone call and/or internet transaction. Done on lunch hour.... Then to get the new registration and plates, that sometimes is a different line (section) of the DMV which tends not to be a long winded thing . its like checking out at the grocery store - if one comes with all of your paperwork in order - some of which too can be filled out online.

S10.E10: Mama Drama
Is the Jackie "Hamptons" the same "Hamptons" that the food network personality Barefoot Contessa film location ?
sorry for naming specific animals.. I made the correction. didn't mean to offend.
Hunting (small/large game) is in a very specific season of year. Usually in the fall. Going to class in May doesn't line up. Plus the gun is different. Shouldn't need a high power scope military rifle do to something you can get put of a sporting goods store.
Yeah.. I mentioned that earlier..doesn't really fit..regular gun training for self protection /carry permit, sure... I really wish Dolores dad, a former Marine, and chief of police, would have been part of this "sniper school " conversation
that was the strangest dialog I have heard among supposedly adult love-birds. I'm still stuck on why the avg person ( a person who brings life into the world at that) want to attend sniper school... Local gun range -fine, gun convention, sure.. but "sniper" - for what exactly? Seems a little overkill for self-protection. Then the man says " he cannot wait to go back". And he said it quick. Odd response w/o giving any supporting details. Delores at once up a time can shoot a firearm - given she was a police officer. She knows basic "gun language". No comments like "I hit the bull's eye ,1000 yrds away, in 3 different positions, at night with my M-16"... Delores should have asked, "what was so great about it, that you want to go back " - as opposed to going on about housewives bullsh*t. Then I would have asked "why do you need to go back?" -" is there some certification/license he's trying to keep up?" That made me too think he didn't go to "sniper school". I just did a quick google, and yes there are millions of courses, but the first couple I selected are M-F ( link ). most likely the fashion show would have been on a late Friday night (ie get on a early fight), Saturday/Sunday to get kids/Frankie Jr. there. I would have dragged his ass to the gun range for him to show off he newly learned skills. Miss too many targets - that would have been the last straw.
What does Jackie's husband do for a living?
On WHHL - Andy asked Jackie which of the housewives (and I guess he just meant on RHONJ) who had the most money. Jackie didn't answer directly - said something like "I don't want to say..".. then they played a game of which had the most money b/c two stars.. But that is a good question.. Now that we've seen Jackie's parents live in two separate houses, she has a nice decent one (what does Evan do for a living ? ) and now the Hampton's House.. I will start the guessing from who has the least $$ ... 1. Marge - b/c of the bankruptcy 2. Delores - what does she exactly have ? A house that is hopefully paid for by Frank 3. Gorgas 4-5. Debating b/w Dr. Evil/Jennifer & Jackie/Evan 6. Tre . Gotta admit she paid back a ton of $$ and been on the show the longest. She must own that house outright.
I'm a little hungry (missed dinner) so I too was drooling at the food tables. This show really can fill up a table with usually good looking food. it was sweet to see all of girls cook for Tre. I think it is a new way of eating pancakes - esp on TV. No syrup or butter - use fruit or nutella . I did see a big bowl of fruit. I love pancakes but they can be a little dry without something on them.. I see Gabriela is getting more comfortable on camera. Or she tolerates it better. Tre - going to the gym - 1st thing on Mother's Day ? hmmm I know she likes to get her workout on, but I guess that would be one day I thought she would sleep in. Or maybe it was a way for her to be alone and grieve privately about her own mom. Foolish me for thinking the reason Tre didn't come to the brunch b/c she would be the only one w/o her mom. That would have been a tough event to go to. I had to go back and re-play to find out she wasn't invited. The only entertainment they could think of was a drag queen show ? talk about not knowing your audience... the only mom I would even think would have enjoyed the performance would have been Marge Sr. I would have been embarrassed for my mom.

Home > Plays > Community Theatre > Fools
Author: Neil Simon
Publisher: Samuel French
# of Pages: 86
Fools is a full-length comedy by Neil Simon. An idealistic teacher attempts through education to free a Ukrainian town from a magic spell that has turned the inhabitants into idiots. Especially recommended for school and contest use.
Fools is a comic fable about an eager young teacher, a beautiful – but dimwitted – girl, several kooky villagers, and an ancient curse. The unknowing hero, master teacher Leon Tolchinsky. is ecstatic. He's landed a terrific teaching job in an idyllic Ukrainian hamlet (still a Russian territory in the late 19th Century). When he arrives he finds people sweeping dust from the stoops back into their houses and people milking upside down to get more cream. The town has been cursed with Chronic Stupidity for 200 years. And it's Leon's job to break the curse! He learns that if he stays over 24 hours and fails to break the curse, he too becomes Stupid. But, he has fallen in love with a girl so Stupid that she has only recently learned how to sit down. Faced with this dilemma, a hysterical tale of stupidity, love, and human nature unfolds in quintessential Neil Simon style.
Fools premiered in 1981 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on Broadway in New York City. With a stationary set, it is a favourite Neil Simon play for high schools, colleges, and community theatres.
Cast: 6 women, 6 men (but some genders can be easily switched)
"Anyone who judges high school drama festivals long enough will become familiar with Neil Simon's Fools. Students are easily attracted to the story of a remote Ukrainian village populated entirely by idiots. They love the opportunity to walk around the set with blank looks on their faces, smacking into walls, and giggling stupidly at each others' antics like some sort of 19th century Beavis and Butthead. The people ... have no brains, but a lot of heart. ...Fools works because while we're laughing at them, we're also rooting for them." — Talkin' Broadway
"The brightest, freshest, funniest, wittiest, warmest and happiest to do on Broadway in many a day." — CBS-TV
Neil Simon (1927-2018) was America's most prolific playwright. He had dozens of plays and nearly as many major motion pictures produced. He was showered with more Academy and Tony nominations than any other writer, and is the only playwright to have four Broadway productions running simultaneously. His plays have been produced in dozens of languages, and have been blockbuster hits from Beijing to Moscow. His true success, however, is in his unique way of exposing something real in the American spirit.

Michigan star Jabrill Peppers' self-grade in Heisman midst: 'C-minus'
Jabrill Peppers was on nearly every midseason All-America list in the country released this week.
One outlet even named Michigan's star redshirt sophomore linebacker the defensive player of the year.
Lining up for at least 11 different positions, rolling up tackles for loss on defense, throwing up nearly one highlight-film punt return per game and now expanding his offensive repertoire, he's a player that college football hasn't seen in years.
Yet there's one person who isn't so impressed with his play.
Jabrill Peppers.
"I don't think I've been playing as well as people say I've been playing," Peppers said Tuesday after practice. "If I had to give myself a grade, I'd probably say C-minus. Definitely not where I want to be or where the team needs me to be. But that's why you love this game, you have six more weeks to keep getting better and better."
But C-minus? That sounds like a tilted scale, considering he's more dynamic than any player in the country.
"I'm my worst critic," Peppers said. "Blown assignments that I missed. You guys can't tell from watching the game, but when we get in the film room, I know what I missed. I try to solve all my mistakes with effort and aggression. That helps a lot but I still make mistakes. I'm hard on myself, I've always been that way."
When Jourdan Lewis – an All-America last year – heard that, he grinned.
"I think that's just for (the media,)" Lewis said of the grade. "He knows he's playing great football. Everybody knows that."
That thought of his higher ceiling will frighten opponents, all who are already raving about him, like Illinois coach Lovie Smith did on Monday, searching for superlatives.
So what else can he do?
On offense, where he has the most control, apparently we've just seen a bit of his ability.
He played his largest dose of Wildcat quarterback in the 78-0 win over Rutgers and took a busted play around the end for a 63-yard gain. He rushed for two other touchdowns out of the formation.
And on one, U-M coach Jim Harbaugh said the design was for him to throw it.
"You've got to see," he said cryptically about his arm, hinting that there is far more to him in this offense. "Absolutely. We've got (stuff) going down the line, I'm not going to give away too much. But we should definitely open up the package a little bit."
U-M notes: Harbaugh's 49ers got best of Smith's Bears in last encounter
U-M RB Drake Johnson ready for this week, Harbaugh says
Which should only increase his profile in the Heisman Trophy race.
Currently his odds sit fourth among most of the top candidates, behind three quarterbacks. Though it's not his primary objective, Peppers is aware.
"That's an offensive award," he said. "I'm just trying to play the best ball I can play. Everything else will fall into place. I'll take wins over a Heisman any day."
When Harbaugh said after the Rutgers game that Peppers deserves to win the exalted trophy, suddenly it seemed more realistic.
"That definitely means a lot coming from a guy like Harbaugh," he said. "But at the end of the day you can't get caught in what people say about you good or bad. You've got to stay 10 toes down. Just keep improving every week, that's what my mindset is."
That offensive-focused mentality has hung over the award since players stopped playing both ways more than 50 years ago.
But Peppers is also aware of the history.
"If you look at it, how many defensive players have won it? Just one," he said, making the obvious reference to U-M's Charles Woodson in 1997. "I'm not really worried about it to be honest."
Though Peppers is a more physical and diverse player than Woodson, he's not ready to step on that pedestal.
"Charles Woodson, if you just look at what he's done for his teams, it's mind-boggling now that I'm actually playing," Peppers said. "In high school ,I used to embrace all that but now what I'm actually playing at this level, seeing what he's able to accomplish and do for his team, take away half the field and people scared to throw at him, big time plays in big time moments. What I might agree with or what I edge him is athleticism. He's a little taller, rangier guy than I am. But I feel like, if we was to race, if I was born back in the day, I feel like I would beat him in a race."
Peppers insists he's not focused on NFL draft boards, only saying that one of his friends recently sent him a list where he was 11th. (Though other mock drafts have him as high as third.)
All the adulation is appreciated but he has larger goals, like when he said in high school he wants to be the best player.
"Best player there ever was," he repeated Tuesday. "That's still the same, to be the best you have to put in the work like the best, you have to believe you're the best, you've got to go out and play like you're the best. I feel like I've kind of been doing that but I've got to pick it up if I want to be the best."
Depends who's grading.

What a Difference a Week Makes for Two Pooches!
By Jack Hagerman Nov 1, 2018
A lot can happen in a week. The Dodgers won big and made it to the World Series. I ate big and gained two pounds. Most importantly though, the two dogs I wrote about last week won even bigger since my column ran. Fasten your emotional seatbelts, and get ready for some serious feels – because I have two pieces of great news to share with you!
Remember Stan, the beautiful, yet incredibly shy German Shepherd mix I wrote about? Guess what? He finally found a home! But not just any home. Stan hit the pet-lovin' jackpot with this family for sure.
When Stan's new mom heard about him, she decided to come visit him at the shelter. He seemed completely terrified and wouldn't come out of his den. So, she met with Izzy, one of our adoptions counselors to see if Stan could come out of the kennel for a little social time. Izzy told her that Stan was so shy and uncertain, he wouldn't follow on a leash – and had to be carried from point A to point B. He hadn't been bathed in a while because he was too fearful to be safely groomed.
After hearing how fearful of people he was, this wonderful woman decided she'd approach Stan more slowly and let him get used to her over time. She came to visit him every day for the next four days, standing outside his kennel softly talking to him and trying to put him at ease.
Finally, Izzy worked it out to let them visit Stan inside the kennel. Still afraid, but genuinely curious, gentle Stan's soulful eyes met theirs…and from that moment, it was love. Absolute, soul-soaring love. They adopted Stan, and took him home where they sat him down and just talked him. For hours and hours. They talked to him, patiently letting him get used to their presence, tone of voice, and reassuring encouragement. Slowly but surely, he let his guard down more and more, and even let them give him a bath!
By day 2, he was eating well and exploring the yard. Despite still being fearful of loud noises or cars passing, he's come a long way in trusting his new family and building confidence.
While at the shelter, no one ever saw him without his tail between his legs. For the first time in months (perhaps even longer), Stan is wagging his tail. The email his new family sent us detailing his progress had our staff in tears. To know he's had such a dramatic improvement in less than a week is amazing – and a wonderful reminder that there are good, earnest and caring people out there willing to take on the responsibility of a pet who may need a little extra love and patience to thrive.
Stan found that. Along with his fabulous life makeover last week, he got a new name too. Now he is known as Marley.
And he is loved.
Stan isn't the only one who had a dramatic improvement last week. Norman, the dapper Lab/Pitbull mix whose stress level at the shelter was causing him to lose his appetite is now being fostered by one of our staff members, Joan.
When I wrote about Norman the first time a week ago, things were not looking good for his health. He wasn't eating, and his weight loss was getting to a critical stage. If we didn't get him eating within a couple of days, he'd quite literally starve himself to death.
Joan stepped in and offered to foster him for a week or two temporarily to see if getting him out of the shelter and into a home environment would somehow eliminate his stress and stimulate his appetite. If that worked, it would buy us some more time to find a more long-term foster situation so that Norman could build more confidence, get his weight back to normal, and have a better chance at adoption.
I'll be honest. None of us were very confident it would work. In fact, we sort of expected that it wouldn't. But that wasn't going to stop us from trying.
So, Joan has been taking him home with her at night after work, and during the day he hangs out in other staff member's offices where he gets more interaction with people and a quieter environment away from the kennels. She's even sent daily update emails to the staff and volunteers to keep everyone informed about his progress.
A few things happened very quickly after Joan stepped in to foster him. The first, and probably most important, he started eating. Within 4 days, he had gained a steady 5 lbs. We figured out that when he's around people and feeling safe and stimulated, he actually loves to eat!
We also figured out that he bonds well with people. In fact, he's what we call a "Velcro dog." Because he would love nothing more than to be velcro'd to a person's side, content to just be quietly nearby. So much so, Joan has taken him with her to run errands around town, and he loves every bit of it! He's been to the pet store, sat quietly in the lobby to wait for a car oil change, had lunch at a trendy vegan restaurant – a perfect gentleman the whole time.
Not only did we figure out that being with people gets his appetite back, but in the process, we learned just how great he is as a companion animal. He's going to make an awesome pet to someone at some point, and thanks to Joan (and all the other staff members and volunteers who have helped in the process), he is on his way to beating doggy-anorexia.
A lot can happen in a week. For a homeless animal that is scared, stressed, and uncertain, a week in loud shelter can be jarring and traumatizing. Animals are beautifully resilient, though. So for dogs like Marley and Norman, a week of just being loved is all it takes to move on from trauma to do what they do best: live in the moment with pure joy and gratitude.

US stance on nuclear deal will lead to global chaos – Iranian parliament speaker

US policies towards the 2015 nuclear deal and its sanctions against Moscow and Tehran will spread chaos in the international community, the speaker of Iran's parliament said.
"It seems like they [the US] have started some action which will eventually lead to disorder on [the] world arena," the speaker of Iranian parliament, Ali Larijani, said following a meeting on Friday with Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the Duma lower house of Russia's parliament.

"An example to that is sanctions which they imposed on Iran and Russia as well as the measures they began to take in light of the nuclear agreement signed with Iran," he added.
If Washington fails to comply with the nuclear deal arrangements, the agreement will collapse.
"Over the past months, the Americans repeatedly violated the nuclear agreement," Larijani stated.
Larijani said he was surprised to hear US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson openly say that new administrations revise old agreements. "He was very clear – when you [Iran] negotiated, you should have known that the governments change, and the agreements may change as well," Larijani added.
"But then you can't reach any agreements at all."
The UN nuclear watchdog has confirmed Iran's commitment to its obligations under the deal seven times to date, Larijani said.
He warned that Tehran may respond with reciprocal measures – even if the US quits from the agreement.
"Even the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA] itself sets out that if other signatories take any measures, Iran may do so as well," Larijani said.
Moscow has already voiced concern over the likely US withdrawal from the nuclear agreement. "Such actions will surely damage the spirit of predictability, security, stability and non-proliferation on the globe," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said later on Friday, according to RIA Novosti. "It may seriously deteriorate the situation around the Iran nuclear dossier," he added.

"We know of Iran's response, and of Iran's withdrawal from the agreement," Peskov said. Also on Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow will remain committed to the nuclear agreement while speaking on the phone to his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Fears over the US dismantling the deal are rising as the deadline to recertify it is due to expire on October 15. Withdrawal from the agreement was one of the key promises of Trump's presidential campaign. During his tenure he has repeatedly accused Tehran of breaking the "spirit" of the landmark pact.
If Trump does decide to pull the US out, Congress will have 60 days to decide whether to re-impose sanctions on Iran, which will effectively lead to the demise of the agreement.
