Tommy Seebach Mortensen (ur. 14 września 1949 w Kopenhadze, zm. 31 marca 2003 tamże) – duński piosenkarz, kompozytor, producent, organista i pianista, reprezentant Danii w Konkursie Piosenki Eurowizji w 1979, 1981 i 1993.

Życiorys

Początki kariery
Tommy Seebach rozpoczął swoją karierę w wieku 14 lat jako organista w swoim zespole The Colors. W 1965 został wokalistą i organistą Sir Henry and his Butlers, z którym nagrał dwa single: "Let's Go (Oh Hully Gully)" i "Camp".

Kariera solowa
W 1976 Seebach postanowił rozpocząć karierę solową. Jego debiutancki album Tommygun został wydany w 1977. W tym samym roku rozpoczął współpracę ze studiem nagraniowym EMI, gdzie angażował się jako producent w projekty muzyczne, m.in. dla Lecia & Lucienne.

W lutym 1979 wystąpił w finale krajowych eliminacji do 24. Konkursu Piosenki Eurowizji Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, do których zgłosił się z utworem "Disco Tango". Ostatecznie otrzymał od jurorów taką samą liczbę 82 punktów, co duet Grethe Ingmann & Bjarne Liller P., natomiast w rundzie rozstrzygającej wygrał remis z wynikiem 51 głosów (do 36 Ingmann i Liller P.), zostając tym samym reprezentantem Danii podczas konkursu organizowanego w Jerozolimie. Tuż po finale eliminacji pojawiły się doniesienia o popełnieniu plagiatu przez zwycięzcę. "Disco Tango" autorstwa Seebacha i Keld Heicka porównano do piosenki "Paint It Black" zespołu The Rolling Stones oraz "Tango Jealousie" Gade. Ostatecznie jednak kompozycja została dopuszczona do udziału w 24. Konkursie Piosenki Eurowizji, który odbył się 31 marca w Binyanei Ha'ouama Centre w Jerozolimie. Piosenkarz wystąpił jako trzeci w kolejności i zdobył 76 punktów (w tym maksymalną liczbę dwunastu punktów od Grecji i Izraela), kończąc udział na szóstym miejscu.

Na potrzeby krajowych selekcji w 1980 muzyk napisał utwór "Bye-Bye" dla duetu Lecia & Lucienne, którzy zajęli ostatecznie siódme miejsce w eliminacjach. W kolejnym roku postanowił po raz drugi spróbować swoich sił w Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, tym razem występiując w finale eliminacji w duecie z Debbie Cameron, z którą wykonał utwór "Krøller eller ej", napisany we współpracy z Keldem Heickiem. Piosenka wygrała selekcje, zdobywając 441 punktów od gości zaproszonych przez krajowego nadawcę Danmarks Radio (DR), dzięki czemu duet mógł wystąpić w barwach kraju 4 kwietnia 1981 w finale 26. Konkursu Piosenki Eurowizji. Para otrzymała łącznie 41 punktów (w tym najwyższą notę od Belgii) i zajęła 11. miejsce w końcowej klasyfikacji. Piosenkarka oskarżyła organizatorów o zakłócenie dźwięku podczas ich prezentacji. W wydanej w 2010 książce Seebacha Cameron przyznała, że szef brytyjskiej telewizji BBC zdradził jej, jakoby problemy technicznie podczas występów faworytów (czyli nie tylko Danii, ale też Izraela i Niemczech) specjalnie nie były rozwiązywane, aby reprezentanci Wielkiej Brytanii mieli większe szanse na zwycięstwo.

W 1982 Seebach zgłosił się po raz kolejny do krajowych selekcji eurowizyjnych, tym razem z piosenką "Hip hurra det' min fødselsdag". W finale 14. edycji Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, który odbył się 13 marca 1982 w Studie 3, zajął ostatecznie drugiej miejsce w końcowym rankingu, zdobywając łącznie 47 punktów od pięciu regionalnych ośrodków sędziowskich (w sumie 45 jurorów). W lutym 1984 Seebach zgłosił się do eurowizyjnych selekcji z utworem "Pyjamas for to", który został oceniony na 40 punktów przez 55 sędziów podzielonych na ośrodki regionalne, które zapewniły mu czwarte miejsce w tabeli końcowej. Rok później zakwalifikował się do finału eliminacji, organizowanego 9 marca w Danske Filmstudier i Lyngby w Kopenhadze, z piosenką "Det' det jeg altid har sagt", której jurorzy przyznali 50 punktów, dzięki którym muzyk zajął drugie miejsce.

W 1987 Seebach postanowił zgłosić się do Dansk Melodi Grand Prix z utworem "Det' gratis", z którym zakwalifikował się do finału i znalazł się w gronie pięciu najwyżej ocenionych przez jurorów kandydatów. Ostatecznie zajął czwarte miejsce z 17 punktami od sędziów.

W 1989 Seebach nagrał w duecie z Annette Heick piosenkę "Du skælder mig hele tiden ud". W tym samym czasie wydał LP pt. Tommy Seebach. W 1993 i 1994 ukazały się komplikacyjne albumy piosenkarza – Instrumental Megahits 1 i Instrumental Megahits 2.

W 1993 Seebach po raz kolejny zgłosił się do eliminacji Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, tym razem do 38. Konkursu Piosenki Eurowizji. W finale selekcji, zorganizowanym 3 kwietnia w Kongrescenter w Odense, zaprezentował utwór "Under stjernerne på himlen" napisany we współpracy z Keldem Heickiem. Duński nadawca obawiał się, że mający problemy z alkoholem piosenkarz będzie chciał wywołać skandal podczas występu, przez co długo rozważali zakwalifikowanie go do stawki konkursowej. Dzięki jurorom awansował do drugiej rundy głosowania, w której o zwycięzcy zdecydowali telewidzowie. Jego propozycja otrzymała w sumie 16463 głosów widzów, dzięki czemu wygrała konkurs, a Seebach po raz trzeci został reprezentantem Danii w finale widowiska organizowanego w Millstreet, zajmując ostatecznie 22. miejsce na 25 uczestników. Z powodu słabego wyniku zdobytego przez muzyka, Dania nie mogła wystawić swojego reprezentanta na 39. Konkurs Piosenki Eurowizji w 1994.

Życie prywatne
Tommy Seebach ożenił się z Karen Seebach, z którą miał troje dzieci: Nicolaia Martina, Rasmusa Christiana i Marie. Małżeństwo rozpadło się z powodu problemów alkoholowych piosenkarza. Uzależnienie doprowadziło do ataku serca, przez którego zmarł w wieku 53 lat.

Film dokumentalny Tommy
W 2010 odbyła się premiera film dokumentalny o życiu Tommy'ego Seebachaa, który wyreżyserował Sami Saif.

Will our city presume to prohibit life for whoever can't afford to pay their way?
by Eric Verlo - February 9, 2010 February 9, 2010 5
In case you thought City Council's reprieve earlier this winter reflected a soft spot in their heart for the homeless forced to live in tents, in reality the city attorneys advised any purge of the unsightly camps be delayed until an iron-clad ordinance could be devised. The suggested legal verbiage was reviewed at Monday's meeting, to be formally adopted today. It reads "9.6.109. Camping on Public Property Prohibited." The definition of "camping" to include: "Sleeping or making preparation to sleep, including the lying down of bedding for the purpose of sleeping."
No sleeping. On public property.
By the way, I care not the least about a slippery slope that might infringe on your prerogative to take a nap in the park. This is not about the average man losing his middle class privileges to the creep of authoritarian rule-making. At some point I have to presume we agree that human beings have some inalienable rights. They used to be lofty ideals, protected by fundamental principles. On the issue of sleep, we are discussing the right to an involuntary life function.
The right to defecate is what's got these homeless camps in trouble, but it stands to reason that to shit is more than a right too, it's a necessity. All of this is dreadful platitude unless it's escaped our city administrators. Are they suggesting that because the city cannot provide for the services for its people, that the people must forgo their basic creature needs?
What inhuman folly. And on public ground. Where are they to go? Must man pay rent to exist?
That you can dictate the rights of another on private land is open to debate. By whose authority do you claim dominion to use land for yourself? How dare you refuse a fellow human being, wherever he might need to rest his head? Granting the argument for private property, who are you to force your will upon others on shared common property? Others can't do what? Where?
Do public lands belong only to property owners? You can legislate the right to take property for yourself, but you can't hoard all of it. You have the right to private land precisely because the remainder is reserved for the public. The authority to give the deed to you comes from a governing entity empowered by everyone. A government is bound to providing for the land-less in exchange for the privilege to sell premium land to the better-off.
And a city has obligations to service that public land just as much as it serves the private lots. Can local administrators say, sorry, no more money for water, sewer, utilities, or security? Neither can it fail its responsibilities to the poor.
You aren't obligated to provide eat, drink and shelter to all, but you can't deny men access to the basic resource of land. Would you have men born into cells until they agree to work for their sustenance? Colorado Springs would deny them heat and sleep too. If we could, would we regulate breath?
On public land you have limited authority to regulate. Where private property owners crow about property rights, so do the public have property rights. Every bit, and perhaps more sacrosanct. The public can consent to regulation, for the safety and health of all etc, but that doesn't encompass prohibition. You want health and safety, you provide the services. You have no authority to deny the service and then deny man's basic needs. What an absolute crock.
Below is the text of the city's proposed ordinance. It describes the creation of a new section, under 9.6.109.
9. Public Offenses, fair enough;
6. Offenses Affecting Property, a functional necessity of course;
109. Camping on Public Property Prohibited. Huh?
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS:
9.6.109: CAMPING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY PROHIBITED:
A. It is unlawful for any person to camp on any public property, except as may be specifically authorized by the appropriate governmental authority.
B. For the purposes of this section "camp" or "camping" means to use the public area for living accommodation including, but not limited to, the activities and circumstances listed below. These activities and circumstances may be considered in determining whether reasonable grounds for belief have arisen that a person has "camped" or is "camping" in violation of this ordinance.
1. Sleeping or making preparation to sleep, including the lying down of bedding for the purpose of sleeping.
2. Occupying a shelter out-of-doors. "Shelter" shall mean any cover or protection from the elements other than clothing, such as a tent, shack, sleeping bag, or other structure or material.
3. The presence or use of a camp fire, camp stove or other heating source or cooking device.
5. Keeping or storing personal property.
Sleep, a basic animal function. Shelter, a fundamental human need. Fire, the first of mankind's tools. Before agriculture was fire.
Property. How unbecoming that an ordinance seeking to prohibit the public's right to public property should also deprive the public of the ability to keep personal property.
Also presented on Monday were recommendations from the city management, detailing the consequences of violating the camping prohibition. They included this paragraph:
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: A violation of these updated ordinances may result in a fine and sentencing to the Criminal Justice Center (CJC). In the past, homeless individuals have been known to ignore summonses to appear in Municipal Court until it is advantageous for them to be placed in CJC (cold weather, need for food and/or shelter, etc.). The preferred method of dealing with these types of violations would be to gain the cooperation of the individuals involved without relying upon the criminal justice system, thus removing them from the circumstance by linking them with the appropriate service agency.
Making the specious argument basically that since homeless persons sometimes get themselves arrested on purpose, authorities are justified in accommodating them full time. How considerate of us.

Brother Jonah says:
In short, being homeless can be punished by being sentenced to one of the Wackenhut Slavery Corporation facilities that infest this entire country.
The Tea-Baggers are getting what they want, the re-institution of Slavery.
Their mommas would be so proud
I know. Time to pie some faces at the City Council meeting. These wannabe Brownshirts must have a humiliation threshold of some kind. The inhumanity is reaching a level beyond idiocy.
Ed Billings says:
My final say.
Some of you who read this have agreed or disagreed with me. If the ordinance passes I ask please argue peacefully through blogs and emails. Please constructively express your anger through art by poems or other nonviolent means. This issue has been a heartbreaker for many of us. This will not go away if it… passes but I ask please do not break any laws, it will only add fuel to the fire.
That's why there should be an organized legal resistance from within the camp.
It needs to be done, first to show the doubters on the other side that poverty doesn't equal crazy.
One thing that strikes me, if a spokesman or several could be elected. When the press invade the camps to seek out what anybody has to say, have somebody there who will handle them.
Several would make a huge difference, because they could back each other up. A gang of reporters can do a pretty rough job of interrogation.
Also with an organized committee, named whatever and involving whoever, could more easily "lawyer up" than one individual at a time.
It helps more to have a class action lawsuit than to have several individual cases. It'll also make it where the class isn't forced to defend themselves from inside a jail. Maybe.
And if they can file an appeal BEFORE the planned invasion, there'll be a far better chance.
Anger is to be expected, many of these guys, probably ALL, have had the one-at-a-time assaults against their camps.
There's no way the memory can be erased. The camp-raiders are never prosecuted, the one that resulted in the murder last year is exceptional in the level of prosecution, not unheard of that people will get together and assault or even kill a so called "bum".
What kind of enforcement options are the cops talking about? Stop and search anybody carrying a backpack? Arrest anybody who doesn't have proof of residence?
They've had the apparatus in place for quite a while and I strongly suspect they've been champing at the bit to actually go forth and use it.

This is human rights. Rights to exist. Freedom from born into slavery.

Closing comment – Are we cuckoo to count on confidentiality?
Allow us to contemplate aloud, like Carrie Bradshaw, the question: In this era of supersized-surveillance and anti-secrecy, among a generation extremely comfortable with openness and honesty, is nothing sacred anymore? Are we crazy to think we can keep anything confidential?
We're not talking about baby names here, people. Consider the following three cases.
The first should be a warning, while the second and third are ones to watch because when the stakes are this high the bounties are no doubt even higher – which is the whole point.
Whether the secret is identity, location, or the recipe for enriching uranium, the common thread – confidentiality – is the c-word which caught our attention this week because the news media was punctuated with salacious stories of The One That Got Caught, The One That Got Away, and The One That Can't Get Out Or God-Help-Us-All.
"The Age" yesterday revealed author JK Rowling had accepted a substantial donation to charity from a law firm which breached her confidentiality by revealing she was writing under a pseudonym. The paper said Harry Potter's creator brought proceedings in London's High Court against Chris Gossage, a partner at Russells and a friend of his, Judith Callegari. Rowling's solicitor, Jenny Afia, told the court Rowling was revealed in the Sunday Times as the writer of crime novel The Cuckoo's Calling, which was published under the name of Robert Galbraith. If you can't even trust your own lawyer to keep mum, who can you trust?
"The Australian" reports today that, in a cloak-and-dagger operation overseen by his Russian lawyer but unnoticed by the hordes of media trying to follow his every move, fugitive Wikileaker Edward Snowden has slipped out of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport after Russia granted him a year's asylum. The White House is apparently "extremely disappointed". How long do you think the infamous leaker – the most pursued man on the planet – will manage to keep his Russian hideaway location secret from the USA?
Last night ABC's "7.30" told us that an Australian nuclear physicist has developed a new enrichment process and been granted approval by US regulators to develop it commercially, despite fears that if the technology gets into the wrong hands it could promote the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Sceptics point to history and the failure of tight security surrounding the US atomic bomb in World War II, which has lead to 20,000 nuclear weapons now spread globally. There's no doubt that keeping classified information secret for prolonged periods of time is extremely difficult. The question is will industrial espionage or State-centred espionage make a mockery of attempts at confidentiality, and at what cost to the planet?


Building Partnerships with Customers, Suppliers and Intellectual Property partners based on mutual value creation is fundamental to the LEGO Group to meet the challenges and complexity brought forward by globalization and digitalization.
Partnerships are essential to compete in today's marketplace.
Strong partnerships can help companies like the LEGO Group to better address the changing tides of the market, where challenges are amplified by the complexity brought forward by globalization and digitalization. Selecting and managing the right partnerships is critical for the LEGO Group to realize our aspiration and preserve the integrity of our brand in the minds of consumers and shoppers.
This group varies from small local toy specialists to large multi-national retailers that are in touch with a broad group of shoppers and consumers to wholesalers/distributors that act as intermediaries between the LEGO Group and other retail customers. Customers play an important role in delivering the right LEGO brand and product experience to shoppers and consumers. The LEGO Group would seek to build stronger partnerships with customers who share our values and can help the LEGO group meet our aspiration of globalizing and innovating the LEGO system-in-play.
This group covers all sizes of suppliers from many different industries ranging from consultancy firms to utility suppliers and suppliers of raw materials to manufacturing companies that produce elements or even pack final products on behalf of the LEGO Group. Naturally, the LEGO Group would seek to build strong cooperation with suppliers that perform activities that are critical for our continued success. This can either be through direct impact on the brand and product experience or our ability to meet the needs of customers, shoppers and consumers or indirectly through their code of conduct.
This group consists of different types of partnerships involving exchange of or collaboration around intellectual property. This can be partnerships where the LEGO Group acts as the licensor allowing a 3rd party company to use the LEGO brand in products (e.g. Kabooki) or it can be partners where the LEGO group acts as the licensee using the intellectual property rights of another company in our products (e.g. Disney Princess). But this can also be partnerships where both parties invest their brand or parts of their intellectual properties in creating consumer experiences or for cross-promotional opportunities (e.g. partnerships with Nickelodeon (transactional), Cartoon Network (Collaborative) or Warner Bros (Strategic)).


Sadly, relatively few workers utilized all that was available to them—this despite the support and urging of the unions that represented them.
l almost never agree anywhere near 100% with these kinds of posts, but you are 100% correct! I've been (mostly) retired for 2+ years, and thought I had considered everything retirement related before I retired. The biggest surprise: Not having smart people to talk to all the time, basically your point #8. Even when customers, suppliers or co-workers would challenge me, it made me think through or re-think my positions. Really miss that.
I wish you had included those 10 lessons here as I am unable to access the HumbleDollar website.
Can't access it. It's not you. It's me. I don't have all the latest bells and whistles on my older desktop computer. If I had kept up with all the changes in technology over the years, I couldn't afford to be retired. Besides, the more degenerate our culture becomes, the less I want to have access to it.
Very strange. If you can access my blog you should be able to access any website I would think.
I used to lead our corporate pre-retirement planning seminar. Unfortunately, very few companies maintain such programs today. In terms of your 10 – a couple of comments.
1. I used to say, while you are working, you'll be accumulating savings for 20, 30, 40 or more years, and after retirement, you'll be, hopefully spending those monies for 20, 30 or more years, but, regardless you will always be a retirement funds investor – investing doesn't end at retirement.
2. Emergencies are what insurance is for. Identify your deductibles (car, home, health, etc.) and any out of pocket maximum (health), and anticipate that someday your finances will be called upon. But, I never encouraged individuals to move money out of qualified plan investments in advance – possibly, the taxes applied to a distribution may be reduced by tax-deductible expenses (medical, casualty, etc.).
3. Other potential legs on the stool – 2nd career income, spouse's income, spouse's benefits, home equity, etc.
4. No comment other than to say most people's lifestyle will change as they age.
5. Health care inflation is significant, but only for early retirees. For Medicare-eligible retirees, the average annual inflation rate (indexing deductibles, copayments, etc.) has been about 3% for the past 35 years. Yes, you should plan on 3% – 5% per year inflation, in everything. But again, recognize that your lifestyle will change as you age.
6 & 7: It is easy for some, not for all. The challenge is finding what's is right for you. One of my co-presenters used to ask the question: Close your eyes. Imagine it is 6 months since you retired. Let's walk through the typical day together. It is 5AM, what are you doing… 6AM, 7AM, etc. A film we used to present was titled "A Week Full of Saturdays".
8: Agree My co-presenter also used to say, today, now, start making friends of people of all ages.
10: Hah! My co-presenter also used to say, always have something to look forward to. Waking up is certainly one of those!
I paid attention and went to every seminar my bosses would allow, and every one after hours scheduled overtime permitting. Retired now nearly 2 years and very thankful for the company both offering to and actually educating me to prepare for the future.
I can't see your 10 reasons in this post but I read them on MarketWatch. I have a question about #4.
It should not take 100% of your pre-retirement income to maintain your lifestyle because of the many "working" expenses cease to exist; commuting, meals, clothing, etc., as do many of the saving requirements of the working years, like that for retirement.
And if you targeted and achieved 100%, why is there any need for frugality?
I have been retired for a year. I agree that it should not be 100% of your gross income but you need to target 100% of your net income, maybe 115% due to inflation and medical. In my case, between taxes, payroll deductions other than taxes, and my 401K contributions, there is a big difference in the target money. Half my tax bill and my 401K contribution went away thus I wasn't using that to live on day to day anyway.
I also worked a lot of overtime and would spend that on things I will not do today. It comes now to needs and wants and now my wants are more focused on what I want to do in retirement so I have become more frugal.
Note I said 100% of base pay, not OT or bonuses, etc. You said you spent OT on things you won't today. Doesn't that mean you changed lifestyle a bit? Tell me what you think in nine more years after you have to replace a water heater, a car or a roof or any large expense coming from savings. And let's hope your frugality does keep you from doing all the things you want to do.
As far as replacing water heaters, major appliances, and a roof, I have CD's waiting for them by name. In fact I was hoping to replace my roof when I am age 60 so it would be the last roof I ever buy but it is getting replace next spring. The car is scheduled in three years when it turns 10, down payments are waiting in addition to whatever trade in value I can get for the old car. I budget using Quicken with 19 years of history and I do most of my house maintenance so I know costs and life expectancy of almost everything in my house.
The thing that was unexpected was trees. I have had to cut down an average of two very large trees for the past three years. The next one is coming down this winter and will cost about $2500,. These are big hits not directly planned for but I have savings that will cover this and I still contribute to my savings every month for just unexpected things. But trees, I didn't see that coming, nor did the rest of my neighborhood who have been forced to cut their trees.
As for the OT, I do not need 100's of DVD when I have all the movie channels on cable. I went to Las Vegas several times but now Atlantic City does just fine less than an hour away. If I needed a tool, I just bought it and I might never use it again. Now I might try borrowing it or renting it first. It is not like I am going to live to use it again in the next 40 years. Just because I could buy something with OT money, does mean that I should have back then. So yes, I changed my lifestyle but I have also changed my priorities of what I think is important and I have so far always had the money to do things we want to do. If anything, I have changed my lifestyle for the better. I used to only take a few weeks vacation per year because that was all the time off that I was allowed. I have now spend double that time traveling to different places by air, land, and sea.
The frugality allowed me to reach my goal of saving income generating investments. Plus still a bit cautious because of inflation and I want assets retained for my wife if necessary. Don't interpret my frugality as living under a rock afraid to spend money. That working expenses disappears when retired thing is overblown. Sure some expenses are gone, but others replace them. In my case we spend more on food by eating out more often, our health insurance premiums including Medicare are five times what they were when working. Still buy clothes just different ones and my wife's habits haven't changed a bit. Since I didn't pay to commute because I had a company car, my transportation expenses are higher now even for pleasure driving. Driven across the country twice in last four years. Our travel expenses are much, much higher. Still have gifts and presents and now we are up to 13 grandkids. Even though we are in the process of downsizing, our monthly bills are virtually the same. Our property taxes are only $2,000 less, but that and other savings are offset by a $730 monthly HOA fee. Everyone's experience and definition of lifestyle is different, but I still feel starting with 100% replacement is a good strategy to allow room for inflation, financial emergencies and even modest savings.
WOW!! $750 HOA Fee !!
I'm glad I live in an older subdivision… NO HOA !!
But that's in Dallas. Texas has a higher property tax because there is NO STATE INCOME TAX !
Not compared to NJ. The total property tax is $12,500. My previous house was $14,500 on a lot 50×120.
I have only lived in my native state, Texas, and Arkansas. When I lived in Arkansas, it had a state income tax, a real estate property tax PLUS a personal property tax and a sales tax on food. So I moved back to my home state of Texas as soon as I could!


After decades of blending in with the background, Toyota finally included impatience to the Camry with its 2018 redesign. With this significant update still being so brand-new and very well gotten, we anticipate the 2019 Camry to roll in as a carryover model.
As a carryover, we expect the 2019 Camry's appearance to be practically identical to the 2018 model's. In 2015's redesign, while dimensionally the like previously, gave the midsize sedan a sharper look than before and a sleek roofline that made it almost coupe-like.
We also expect the 2019 Camry's withins to remain the same. Despite the distinct exterior that featured the 2018 Camry, its interior wasn't an overwhelming departure from the norm. There was, nevertheless, one area of the redesign Camry's interior that got a great deal of attention, which was the seating position. To prevent sacrificing headroom when producing its swoopy roofline, Toyota lowered the seat height, which some motorists griped about.
At this time, we anticipate the 2019 Camry's basic features list to stay the like the present model. If this shows real, then the 2019 Camry will come basic with 16-inch steel wheels, automatic LED headlights, fabric upholstery, keyless entry, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a six-speaker audio system, and more.
The power behind the 2019 Camry is anticipated to remain the like the current model. We expect its base engine to continue being a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 203 horse power and 184 pound-feet of torque. Moving up to the XSE model presses this four-cylinder to 206 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. Likewise most likely staying the same will be the range-topping 3.5-liter V6 with 301 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque. All Camrys come with an eight-speed automated transmission.
As is typical for the Camry, security is no problem, as the 2018 variation is an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus, thanks to it making leading scores in every test. Exactly what's more, it likewise comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense-P, that includes adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency situation parking. All the rankings and standard safety equipment is anticipated to carry into the 2019 Camry the same.
While there's no official release date set up yet for the 2019 Toyota Camry, we expect to see it in the summer season of 2018 based upon the model's typical schedule. Without any changes in the works, we expect the 2019 Camry's pricing to stay nearly unchanged when compared to the existing model, which varies from $24,895 to $35,845 (location fees included). The 2019 Camry's essential rivals will include the Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, and the Hyundai Sonata.


I remember when the press first hit about Nest Labs. The guys behind the iPod/iPhone were taking on thermostats everywhere! A collective "huh?" went through the industry. It felt like the tech version of the Avengers got together to build an office park, not save the world. After sitting down with Nest co-founder Matt Rogers at Google For Entrepreneurs' office a few weeks ago, I learned the backstory and vision of a company on a mission to build one of the world's only great hardware/software companies.
In December 2005, Matt and a small team started working on the first iPhone concepts in a project called "Purple." At the time no one in the company knew what was going on, not even some of their own managers. They built the initial prototype in four months. It wasn't good enough so they started again. The next version was the one Steve Jobs would unveil on stage at MacWorld in January 2007. Four weeks previous to that, 25-members of the team went to China to assemble each of the first 200-devices to be shown at MacWorld. The team was divided into a day and night shift to hit the deadlines, working through Christmas and returning after New Year's Day.
A year after raising Series A capital from Kleiner Perkins, Google Ventures, Lightspeed, and Shasta, they shipped their first product. This past spring Nest was rumored to have raised $80MM at an $800MM valuation and shipping 50,000 thermostats each month. This company that was in a garage in 2010 now has 200 employees, and selling its products at Lowe's, Apple Stores, and Best Buy. About half their inventory is sold online. Like most great companies in the Valley it is not without controversy. They were recently sued by Honeywell for patient infringement and as one friend in the home automation industry recently told me, "Everyone is watching Nest." They also recently acquired venture backed energy dashboard MyEnergy.
When our interview finished a few weeks ago, I walked Matt out to his car. It was 9pm, and he was cheerfully headed back to work for yet another late night at Nest. After hearing about the culture and work ethic at Nest, his attitude simply reminded me of how he described working a holiday a few years previously. "That's what it takes," he casually said.


It premiered in New York City, soon after 9/11, and is now the eighth-longest running show in Broadway history. It closed in 2014, but tours continued around the world until this final weekend.
Tebo has played Harry, aka "Headbanger Harry," the uptight proper English gentleman who is one of the main character's ex-boyfriends, for the past three years.
"Harry wants to re-live his good old days, when he was spontaneous," he said.
The story is about Donna Sheridan, who runs a taverna on a Greek island. Her 20-year-old daughter Sophie is marrying Sky, and has invited three guys mentioned in her mom's old diary to the wedding, in hopes of meeting her father.
American architect Sam, Australian adventurer Bill, and British banker Harry Bright show up, to Mom's surprise. Her former band mates in Donna and the Dynamos, Rosie and Tanya, arrive for what they thought was a hen party.
"Dancing Queen," "SOS, "The Winner Takes It All" and "Take a Chance on Me" are among the musical numbers. The choreography by Anthony Van Laast is lively, with colorful costumes.
"I think everyone can relate to all these characters. It strikes a chord. There's also something that's so special about this show. We go out there every night, and we see the audience having fun," Tebo said.
Local audiences have embraced it, as national tours have played in St. Louis more than any other U.S. city.
"We are honored to host the last tour performance of 'Mamma Mia' after 15 years on the road," said Fox spokesman Megan Ketcherside.
Tebo is excited to return home, but also because the show's four performances here will be a milestone.
Tebo has played the Fox before, and was part of "A Christmas Carol" touring productions, playing Topper and the Ghost of Christmas Present with the Nebraska Theatre Caravan.
Based in New York City for the past six years, he is currently auditioning for what could be next. However, he is used to life on the road. He has been part of regional theater programs in Florida and Colorado, and performed at The Little Theatre on the Square in Sullivan, Illinois.
He worked as an entertainer on Princess Cruises, and at the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge in Alaska.
A graduate of Holt Senior High School in Wentzville, Missouri, Tebo said he started performing late. He played sports, and when his friends were auditioning for the school musical "Bye Bye Birdie," so did he.
Tebo said he enjoyed it, but originally majored in public relations at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau.
But then he auditioned for "Guys and Dolls," was cast as Nathan Detroit, one of the leads, and switched his major, earning a fine arts degree instead.
The cast of "Mamma Mia!" is like a family, he said. Thirty actors are part of a crew with six musicians and 20 technicians.
"We're so proud of this show. The energy of every actor is amazing," he said.
The "Waterloo" number during the curtain call is one of his favorite aspects of the show, the outrageous outfits notwithstanding.
"Who knew they made spandex so strong?" he said, laughing.
But coming home not only means seeing family and friends, but also ordering Imo's Pizza and stopping at Ted Drewes Frozen Custard. Spandex be darned. There are those upbeat fast-paced dance numbers, after all.
"There is just nothing like this show," he said.
Like his hometown, "Mamma Mia" is hard to resist.

1352. Mersenne Primes
Time limit: 1.0 second
Memory limit: 64 MB
Definition. If the number 2N−1 is prime then it is called a Mersenne prime number.
For example, 22−1 — the first Mersenne prime, 23−1 — the second Mersenne prime, 211213−1 — the 23rd, 2216091−1 — the 31st.
It's a hard problem to find those numbers without a computer. So, Euler in 1772 found the 8th Mersenne prime — 231−1 and then for 100 years no Mersenne prime was found! Just in 1876 Lucas showed that 2127−1 is a prime number. But he didn't find the 9th Mersenne prime, it was the 12th one (the numbers 261−1, 289−1 and 2107−1 are prime but it was found out later). A new break-through happened only in 1950's when with the help of the computing machinery Mersenne primes with the powers 521, 607, 1279, 2203 and 2281 were found. All the following Mersenne primes were found with the help of computers. One needn't be a great mathematician to do that. In 1978 and 1979 students Noll and Nickel found the 25th and 26th numbers (21701 and 23209) on the mainframe of their University and they became famous all over the USA. But the modern supercomputers have the limits of their capability. Today the dozens of thousands people all over the world united in one metaproject GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, www.mersenne.org) look for Mersenne primes. GIMPS found 8 the greatest Mersenne primes. Their powers are 1398269, 2976221, 3021377, 6972593, 13466917, 20996011, 24036583, 25964951. 26972593−1 is the 38th Mersenne prime, and for the last 4 numbers one can't tell what are their sequence numbers because not all the lower numbers are checked. Those four numbers are also the greatest known prime numbers.
The latest number 225964951−1 was found on February 18, 2005, it contains 7816230 decimal digits. The one who will find a prime number with more than 10 millions digits will get a prize of $100000. You may gain the prize if you join the project.
You are not now to find the 43th Mersenne prime — the jury won't be able to check your answer. N doesn't exceed 38 in this problem. So, given an integer N you are to find Nth Mersenne prime.
(Information is actual for March, 2005)
The first line contains integer T — an amount of tests. Each of the next T lines contains an integer N.
For each N you should output the power of the Nth by order Mersenne prime.

Early in their research, they found different types of hindfin that initially appeared to represent different species. However, the more specimens they examined the more 'variation' they uncovered, such as differences in the size and number of bones. They determined that a single hindfin alone could not be used to distinguish among species of Ichthyosaurus, but that a particular variation was more common in certain species.
Lomax explains: "As we have such a large, complete sample size, which is relatively unique among such fossil vertebrates, our study can help illustrate the limitations that palaeontologists face when dealing with few or even just one specimen".
Their findings show that with only a few specimens, features can be found that differ substantially from one specimen to the next and thus appear as if there are several species. Whereas, in reality, with a much larger sample size the gaps in the 'unique' variations are filled in, showing that differences are simply the result of individual variation and a lack of the full picture.
Prof Massare said: "We described a few hindfins, which might have been called a new species if they were found in isolation. Instead, we had enough specimens to determine that it was just an extreme variation of a common form."
Palaeontologists fall into one of two camps when it comes to naming species, 'lumpers' and 'splitters'. The former 'lump' groups of similar specimens together, whereas the latter opt to split-up specimens and distinguish new species. However, in this new study, if the team opted to split-up the specimens based on the variation found, it would suggest a huge number of species.
"If we considered the variation as unique, it would mean we would be naming about 30 new species. This would be similar to what was done in the 19th Century when any new fossil find, from a new location or horizon, was named as a new species if it differed slightly from previously known specimens.
"As lots of new fossil species are named every year, in some cases, such as with fragmentary or limited remains, the decision to name a new species should be considered very carefully." Added Lomax.


This unique timer is more than just a stopwatch. It was specifically designed for the classroom teacher to use in timing tests, reading assignments, lab experiments or any other classroom event that requires time management.
Placed on any standard overhead projector, the TeachTimer projects in large numerals the amount of minutes/seconds remaining during a timed event. This encourages students to manage their time more efficiently. It can also just be placed on a desktop in a stand-up position for individual and small group viewing.
Teachers and students will find the TeachTimer to be an indispensable "time management tool".
Timer can count DOWN to or UP from zero * Timing counts can be paused or repeated * Audible signal gives pre-warning before end of timing count * In chronometer mode, elapsed time can be read while timer keeps running * Clock mode gives choice of twelve or 24-hour format * Battery-saver mode lets clock run with display turned off * One Year Warranty.

Loudonville equipped to make long playoff run
LOUDONVILLE – The 1990 Loudonville football team maintains a special place in my sports heart.
Those Redbirds absolutely floored me. I was at the News Journal just a few months when I first met coach Mike Warbel and saw his run-and-shoot offense in action.
When Warbel wanted to run, his team handed the ball to Dan Weber. When they wanted to throw, quarterback Jason Beans found slight but athletic receiver Pete Brothers.
Make no mistake, whatever the Redbirds wanted to do, they did. They imposed their will on foe after foe for beating after beating. In 25 years here, they were the best small-school team I've seen, and that includes the Buckeye Central squad that rolled to a 1995 state championship game.
Some Loudonville opponents didn't take kindly to the rough way the Redbirds treated them, and I spoke with Warbel about that topic.
"I'll pull my starters in the fourth quarter when they've pulled theirs," Warbel said matter-of-factly. "But I work my kids harder than anyone else all week long. Friday night is their reward.
"I'm not going to let someone else's seniors take out three quarters of frustration on my freshmen."
That kind of candor made Mike one of my favorite coaches. His team deserved to win a Division IV state title. In the state semifinals, on a brisk, windy night, the 'Birds knocked off No. 1-ranked Campbell Memorial 8-7 on chutzpah as much as anything.
They also had a 14-0 lead early in the state title game at Massillon before a controversial pass interference penalty swung the momentum to Versailes. The Redbirds never got it back and fell 29-26.
But whispers from Loudonville are this year's team might be even better. At first blush, that's blaspheme. At further investigation, it just might be true.
"Too big, too strong, too fast," Danville coach Ed Honabarger told the Ashland Times-Gazette, after his team absorbed a 67-7 pounding. "They're probably the best team I have coached against in 28 years of coaching."
There's more evidence to that claim.
Loudonville fan James Reed sent us a number of factoids about his favorite school.
The Redbirds beat everyone so badly this season they have yet to play a regulation game. Due to Ohio's new mercy rule, when a squad gains a 30-point second-half advantage, officials begin a running clock.
Coach Justin Todd's team had a running clock in the second half of every contest this season.
Logan, a Division II school with a 5-5 record, came the closest, falling 43-13. Hillsdale, an 8-2 Division VI playoff team, fell 31-0. Loudonville sent Columbus Bishop Ready, a Division VI state semifinalist last season, into a tailspin after a 64-14 destruction at their home field. The Silver Knights came into that game 6-1, but didn't win again after the 'Birds left town, and didn't make the playoffs.
Loudonville earned more computer points than anyone in Division VI. They would have hosted a playoff game in every Division V region (meaning they would've finished top four in each of those regions), and hosted a game in three of the four regions in Divisions II, III and IV. Also, the Redbirds would've made the playoffs in one of the two Division I regions.
That's a testament to the schedule these youngsters have dominated. Computer points do not take scoring margin into account. It's strictly based on strength of schedule.
Statewide, Todd's team is no secret. Loudonville was ranked No. 2 in the final poll, behind only defending state champion Kirtland, who looms as a potential regional championship game foe.
A number of those 1990 team members are fathers of current Loudonville students and players. No doubt they are telling this year's edition there's only one way for this squad to eclipse that one: Win the whole thing.
The fun part is these Redbirds are equipped to do exactly that.

The arrival of the monsoon is celebrated as a festival in Tamil Nadu, the southern part of India. The rain is believed to bring prosperity to the people whose livelihood is mainly dependent on agriculture. Farmers celebrate the onset of the monsoon as a gesture of gratitude, looking for an abundant yield by offering prayers at riverbanks, lakes, and ponds to become full by the rains. These are the main sources of water during the dry season. People celebrate by lighting lamps, praying to their deities, offering flowers, and floating lamps to the river goddess. The association of this ritual with prosperity is common, and the history of this practice dates back to ancient times. These festivals are commonly noticed in rural areas and villages situated on riverbanks, which is exceptional because it brings families, friends, and people together.
It is common during this season to find the outpatient clinic filled with many young women carrying their wailing children on their hips during and after the monsoon. One among them was Mrs. Lakshmi, an agricultural laborer who toiled in the sun every day to make her daily earnings. She was draped in a bright-yellow saree with a child clinging to her waist—her 3-year-old daughter Alli. Alli was hesitant to visit the hospital, which was obvious by her wails, which were silenced promptly by her mother with a stare.
Along with the incessant rain, the monsoon brings in dangerous vector-borne diseases, which are spread by the bites of mosquitoes such as Aedes and Anopheles. These insects breed in stagnant water and multiply in number. The mosquitoes and insects that come around during this season cause numerous types of insect bite reactions and papular urticaria. The number of cases rises with monsoon onset and are the result of waterlogging and clogging in domestic and public surroundings, as the sewage and drainage plants still need improvement in rural parts of India. Lack of personal hygiene, overcrowding, and poor sanitation are critical risk factors for these diseases. Various manifestations are seen, ranging from urticaria to multiple erythematous itchy papules in children who usually present with incessant cries at night. The winged nuisance is called Sullan in local vernacular, denoting the sharp stinging pain and itching that follows the mosquito bite.
Lakshmi complained that her daughter had multiple itchy eruptions and intense pruritus exacerbated by mosquito bites. I was relieved that she had no fever or signs of the dangerous vector-borne diseases. Lakshmi was more concerned about her daughter's suffering at night and the incessant crying. We gathered the information from her that a few other children from her locality were also affected with similar issues. Most of the houses located in rural areas are thatched mud houses with a crude floor made of mud and cow-dung paste. They have a single room sufficient for storing their belongings. Hence, people generally choose to sleep on the mud floor outside their homes for better ventilation. Lakshmi explained that the mosquito bites are unavoidable in such circumstances because they do not cover themselves adequately and she sleeps outdoors with her children around her, exposed to the night sky, the rains, and the insects looking for their next blood meal. The mosquitoes target the children, and Alli was no exception. Continuous mosquito bites and the itching that follows, along with crying, worsens temperaments at night and leads the mother to lose sleep and miss work on more than a few occasions.
Aware of the source of the ailment, she explained about her helplessness and was worried, despite the ongoing local festival in their community. She was instructed about personal protection that could prevent her child from mosquito bites. Lakshmi explained that she was a daily laborer and, during rains, does not have a job. Her income per day is sufficient to suit only her day-to-day needs, making mosquito repellents or mosquito nets unaffordable.
Although vector control programs are in place, their execution has many gaps resulting from the lack of funds and increasing population rates. To exacerbate this situation, the general public is unaware of the breeding sources and the biology of mosquitoes.
The success of any treatment lies in the use of local resources in the management of disease. Because they are a cheap alternative and are easily accepted by the rural population, Lakshmi was instructed to wear long-sleeve clothes to avoid mosquito bites. In addition, rural areas have abundant neem trees, and the foliage is generally dumped as waste. I advised her that dried neem leaves could be used for fumigation by burning them in the evenings and early mornings. The smoke generated is dense and surrounds the perimeter, and is toxic to the mosquitoes. It can be done near the houses, and fumes will ward off the mosquitoes for quite some time. She told us that it was a common practice to burn the dry leaves in her locality as a method of waste disposal, but she did not know its significance. She was surprised to know the low-cost alternative and cursed herself for being unschooled and ignorant. She informed me they did not conduct this burning regularly, and confirmed that she would take care of the breeding sources in her domestic area by dry fumigation with neem leaves.
Unlike other infectious diseases, the problems caused by the march of mosquitoes is ever-expanding and relentless because of improper drainage, unplanned urbanization, and poor vector control. Addressing a complex disease requires government policies for a better infrastructure, sanitation facilities, vector control, and clinical management. However, scenarios such as this one necessitate lateral thinking and various indigenous, feasible ways to effect vector control and other measures. Other local practices, which are safe and available, include the topical application of neem oil, which has benefits against warding off mosquitoes.
During her subsequent visits, Lakshmi informed me that the mosquito menace has decreased in their domain. Through self-help groups, she mobilized several other females in joining her to abolish breeding sites and conduct dry fumigation. Literacy and knowledge are the only wealth that can uplift any society, and this case proves it. It is an appalling truth that most people of low socioeconomic status have learned to adapt their lifestyle and live despite all the odds stacked against them, including mosquitoes. Until this menace is controlled, the nights of many an infant will remain a nightmare.

Q: Invalid character '' encountered I am getting following exception while parsing the xml.
Fatal error at line -1  Invalid character '&#x0' encountered. No stack trace

I have Xml data in string format and I am parsing it using DOM parser.
I am parsing data which is a response from Java server to a Blackberry client.
I also tried parsing with SAX parser,but problem is not resolved.
Please help.

A: I got the solution,
I just trimmed it with trim()
and it worked perfectly fine with me.

A: Your code currently calls getBytes() using the platform default encoding - that's very rarely a good idea. Find out what the encoding of the data really is, and use that. (It's likely to be UTF-8.)
If the Blackberry includes DocumentBuilder.parse(InputSource), that would be preferable:
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
StringReader reader = new StringReader(xmlData);
try {
    Document doc = docBuilder.parse(xml);
    doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
} finally {
    reader.close();
}

If that doesn't work, have a very close look at your string, e.g. like this:
for (int i=0; i < xmlData.length(); i++) {
    // Use whatever logging you have on the Blackberry
    System.out.println((int) xmlData.charAt(i));
}

It's possible that the problem is reading the response from the server - if you're reading it badly, you could have Unicode nulls (\u0000) in your string, which may not appear obviously in log/debug output, but would cause the error you've shown.
EDIT: I've just seen that you're getting the base64 data in the first place - so why convert it to a string and then back to bytes? Just decode the base64 to a byte array and then use that as the basis of your ByteArrayInputStream. Then you never have to deal with a text encoding in the first place.

A: You have a null  character in your character stream, i.e. char(0) which is not valid in an XML-document.  If this is not present in the original string, then it is most likely a character decoding issue.

A: InputStream xml = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlData.getBytes());
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = docBuilder.parse(xml);
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
xml.close();

Above is the code I am using for parsing.

Fundado en 1986 en el capitalino colegio de las Dominicas de la isla de La Palma, como club de formación de jugadores del propio colegio, no alcanza una independencia y un carácter senior hasta el comienzo del siglo XXI. El equipo asciende a Liga EBA en la temporada 2.009/10 tras quedar campeón de la 1ª División Autonómica Canaria tanto en la Liga Regular como en los playoffs. En la Liga EBA jugó con el CB Aridane el primer derby palmero en categoría nacional de la historia. Otro partido que pasaría a la historia fue la victoria en La Palma por 77-75 ante el Tenerife Club de Baloncesto, equipo con pasado ACB. En la actualidad tras la desaparición del UB La Palma y el descenso del CB Aridane, el equipo colegial inicia la temporada como máximo representante del baloncesto insular.

As someone who has been involved with the Klamath UU Fellowship for many years, I've known Julia Jackman for a long time. But interviewing her for our newsletter turned out to be a joy as I realized that, in a sense, I've hardly known Julia at all and was so pleased to be getting better acquainted.
Julia grew up in Santa Barbara, California and attended the University of California in Santa Cruz, majoring in environmental studies and minoring in politics. It was in Santa Cruz that she met her husband-to-be, Bob Jackman after they had both graduated from UCSC. Bob was then accepted to medical school at George Washington University in Washington D.C., and wanted Julia to come along. However, when she was uncertain that she wanted to make that commitment, having known him for only six months, he just waited, another year as it turned out, until she was ready and they took a two-and-a-half month journey across the country to D.C., where they'd be for four years.
In Santa Cruz Julia had developed an interest in massage therapy, and completed a massage certification program. In D.C. her primary goal was to work in the environmental field, but the first job she got there was working part-time at a massage therapy business. She then also got a job with a consulting company which worked for the Environmental Protection Agency, looking at ways to reduce greenhouse gases through increasing energy efficiency, and then after that at the International Institute for Energy Conservation, which sought to interest other countries in adopting more efficient technologies. However, worthy as those jobs were, Julia realized that she really wanted to work one-to-one with people and so thought she might do a masters degree program in nutrition at Bastyr University in Seattle. Bob was in the Navy, though, while in medical school, and the Navy decided to send him to Pensacola, Florida to do a residency in Family Medicine, (not exactly Seattle) and while there, Julia became pregnant with their daughter, Rowan, who was born in 1995. Fascinated with the process of pregnancy, Julia shifted her focus to pursuing becoming certified as a childbirth educator.
Next came a move to Mystic, Connecticut for four years, where Bob trained as an undersea medical officer, and their second child, Rylan, a son, was born in 1998.
Julia finds a similar sense of "immediacy and connection" through "Spending time with my two doggies, Poppy and Bella (especially hiking with them, pretty much a daily activity!), and my horses Luna and Jojo. Animals are so basic, honest, uncomplicated in their motives, and so loving," and other activities which give her a sense of connection to the physical world, such as gardening, walking/hiking, and cooking.
Her involvement with the Unitarian Universalist Church has been long and rich, beginning in Connecticut and continuing here in Klamath Falls as soon as the family arrived. "I was roped into being greeter for a future service by our founder Ben Kerns the first time I attended. He was charismatic and it was hard to say no to him! Over the years, I have served as religious education coordinator, secretary, president and treasurer (at the same time), briefly groundskeeper (I gave that up quickly as I could barely keep up with my own yard!), newsletter editor, and general board member. Periodically I tried to escape from these duties, but some crisis or another kept pulling me back in: after the fire, I couldn't help but ask Rev. Patt and Phil if help was needed; Patt asked me to take on communications. Then more recently, when the great and honorable Sally Wells asked if I might take over her role as worship coordinator, I HAD to say yes…a person doesn't say no to Sally!
"I have been both active participant in and observer of our Fellowship. I have seen it grow and diminish, and loved it and its people, and been frustrated by it. I don't have a favorite sermon, but one of the best memories is of when we had the Tibetan Monks come and create a mandala in the center of our sanctuary. It was the most amazing and beautiful experience watching these souls praying, chanting and creating a beautiful and very intricate sand mandala, and then deliberately demolish it after blessing it with prayers of peace. That was a very meaningful lesson about the impermanence of all things. More recently, I have really enjoyed hearing Bill Martin's services. Thanks Phil for bringing him in initially!
September 23rd, 10:00 am The simple ceremony will include blessings from multiple faith traditions and cultures, singing, and is open to the public. Regular Sunday Service at 10:30 follows.
A Peace Pole is the simplest of monuments – a wood pole with the words "May Peace Prevail on Earth" inscribed in several languages.
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Klamath County will host a re-dedication ceremony of their Peace Pole on Sunday, September 23rd, 2018 at 10:00 am. (( Join the event on Facebook!
This particular peace pole was originally installed in June 1998 beside the former Pine Grove School building which in those days was owned by UUFKC and served as their meeting place.
Twenty years ago, when Connee Pike-Urlacher and Robert Pike-Urlacher lost their second son, Baby Oliver (in utero) they chose the Peace Pole as a memorial. They chose the eight languages to adorn the pole with the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth". Hebrew and Arabic were included for the two nations in a conflict at that time, Israel and Palestine, hoping for a peaceful resolution.
The 1998 dedication drew people of many faiths and cultures who shared a beautiful summer day with one another, and heard inspiring speakers on peace between nations and peace between neighbors.
When the Pine Grove School building burned in 2011, the firefighters on the scene were able to rescue the Peace Pole from the blaze. It has lain in storage for seven years until this summer when a friend of the Fellowship restored the pole's base and readied it for re-installation at the Unitarian Fellowship's current home at 801 Jefferson st.
The Peace Pole Re-Dedication ceremony is open to the public.

Why does your favorite clothing brand need to be more targeted online?
The world is getting more connected, and that means that fashion brands need to keep in touch with consumers on a variety of platforms.
While there are no exact figures on how many brands use social media, it's believed that the vast majority of them do, especially brands that cater to the fashion-conscious and fashion-focused.
"There is a growing awareness among fashion brands to create a greater digital presence in the marketplace," says BrandMavens CEO Dan Smith.
"This means engaging with their audiences on more platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and Pinterest.
The best of brands will take advantage of these opportunities."
One of the biggest brands to embrace the platform is Jil Sander, whose clothing line is a huge part of its overall online presence.
"Jil Sanders clothing line has seen an increase in sales and brand awareness since the launch of the social media campaign," the company said in a statement.
"We believe that it is critical for brands to take advantage, in the same way as brands take advantage on their own platforms."
For brands that want to keep a more hands-on approach, they could also consider using social media for advertising.
"A brand with a strong social presence can drive more revenue by using the social network to promote products and services," says Chris McKeown, Head of Brand Marketing at F&T.
"The most successful brands have a social presence that drives engagement, engagement and loyalty for their consumers."
Social media has proven to be a huge asset for many brands that are trying to reach new audiences, especially when it comes to their own products.
"Instagram is an excellent tool for reaching consumers and growing brand awareness," says Smith.
But the company also advises brands to make sure they're not too dependent on Instagram for brand advertising.
The Instagram platform has grown massively over the past decade, which has made it a much more powerful platform for brands.
For example, the platform allows brands to post photos and videos of their products that can be shared with a wide range of users.
"You can post images and videos, and they can be seen by thousands of people on the same page, for free," McKeow says.
"It's like a photo sharing platform that has millions of users."
Brands can also use social sharing to build up a following that will allow them to reach more people.
For the most part, though, brands are best served by following Instagram influencers, says Smith, adding that brands should only consider using them when the brand needs to get a little more exposure.
"When you start using Instagram influencer platforms like Twitter and Facebook, you're just getting a few hundred followers," he says.
If you're an influencer that's only looking to gain a few thousand followers on Instagram, you could probably get by on Instagram as a paid service.
But if you want to reach millions of people, it can be difficult to keep up.
"If you don't have a dedicated Instagram account that you can use for paid Instagram marketing, you'll probably have to spend more time and money to reach them," Mckeow says, adding there's a lot to consider when choosing the right influencer to use for a social media marketing campaign.
For brands with a more traditional online presence, a more personal approach can be more effective.
"Personalization is key when you're going for more social media engagement," says McKeee.
"With Instagram, it allows brands with more traditional social media channels to reach a much larger audience with just a few simple posts and photos."
"When people are more connected online, brands can use that connection to engage with more consumers, increase brand awareness and build a more loyal following."

Creating an acronym for our values made them memorable
Rob Cole asks interview candidates which core value is most important to them and why
Name: Sheffield Sustainable Kitchens
Employees: 15
Founded in: 2008
Tip: "Build good, lasting relationships with subcontractors, particularly if they're on the front line with clients."
Rob Cole started bespoke kitchen company Sheffield Sustainable Kitchens after becoming frustrated with existing services' poor quality and attitudes to waste.
"I founded the business on my own strong personal values, but they weren't written down at the start. They were just things in my head that I felt were important," said Rob. "When we were a small team we didn't really need them formalised, but as we got a bit bigger we lost track of them a bit."
In the past five years, the bespoke kitchen manufacturer has experienced rapid growth, increasing from five to 15 employees. It became clear that the values needed to be better communicated to the team, suppliers and clients.
Rob and his team spent time together working to get the values right and making sure that they became ingrained throughout the business.
They came up with a set of values to form an acronym: ECO SHEF. This stands for: extra mile; collaboration; originality; sustainability; happy and hardworking; ethics; and friendly. The team enact these in everything they do, from using electric vehicles to banking and purchasing ethically.
But the values go well beyond environmental efforts. They have "employee of the month" where staff can nominate each other based on how they've performed in one of the key values.
"The values also run throughout our recruitment process, so anyone who comes to an interview with us is asked about which core value is most important to them and why. We try and make sure that people are engaged from the start," Rob said.
There are also regular company away days, where staff will volunteer for local charities or invite disadvantaged young people into their workshops to learn about what they do.
The company recently won the Excellence in Corporate, Social and Environmental Responsibility award at the Sheffield Business Awards. Rob is starting to look at how the company can expand into Manchester and is keen to make sure the values remain prominent as they grow.
"We've made a lot of progress in the past 12-18 months. We've got a fantastic team which represents the company and our values wonderfully. Staff tell me that they enjoy working for us because it's a fun and enjoyable place, but more than that – there's a real value in going to work and doing something you believe in."
Sharing our vision with staff gave us the momentum to move forward

Q: Error: Collection method aggregate is synchronous I'm trying the following code:
const Conn = mongoose.createConnection('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/db');

const addresses = Conn.collection('users').aggregate([
  {
    $project: {
      _id: false,
      ethAddr: true,
    }
  }
]);

I receive the following error:
[...]\backend\node_modules\mongoose\lib\drivers\node-mongodb-native\collection.js:100
        throw new Error('Collection method ' + i + ' is synchronous');
              ^

    at async handleMainPromise (node:internal/modules/run_main:65:12)

What in cattle's name I'm doing wrong?

A: It seems to be a problem with the way mongoose connects to the database. Creating the connection but not connecting prior to invoking the aggregation method causes that exception to be thrown. I should've used it this way:
// create custom connection
const Conn = mongoose.createConnection();

// connect to database
await Conn.openUri('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/db');

// @type {AggregationCursor}
const addresses = Conn.collection('users').aggregate([
  {
    $project: {
      _id: false,
      ethAddr: true,
    }
  }
]);

console.log( await addresses.toArray() );

It's frustrating the exception itself is poorly documented.

Hadley Caliman (* 12. Januar 1932 in Idabel, Oklahoma; † 8. September 2010 in Seattle) war ein US-amerikanischer Jazz-Musiker (Tenorsaxophon, daneben auch Flöte, Bassklarinette, Sopransaxophon).

Biographie
Caliman begann im Alter von zwölf Jahren zunächst auf der Klarinette und wechselte dann zum Alt- bzw. zum Tenorsaxophon. Mit 16 Jahren begann er, mit professionellen Bands auf Tournee zu gehen; von 1949 bis 1951 spielte er in der Roy Porter-Bigband. Anfang der 1950er Jahre studierte er am Pomona State College und dem Konservatorium in San Francisco. Dort arbeitete er anschließend mit eigenen Formationen, 1967 bei Gerald Wilson und 1969 bei Don Ellis und Johnny Almond.

Ende der 1960er Jahre war er für kurze Zeit Mitglied einer Fusionband, die von Ray Draper geleitet wurde. 1971 entstand sein erstes Album unter eigenem Namen. In den 1970er Jahren arbeitete Hadley u. a. in Jazz- und Fusion-Projekten mit Julian Priester (Love Love auf ECM), Carlos Santana (Caravanserai und Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles! Live!, Columbia, 1972), Joe Henderson, Earl Hines, Freddie Hubbard (Pinnacle: Live & Unreleased from Keystone Korner), Jon Hendricks, Eddie Henderson, Azar Lawrence, Patrice Rushen und Bobby Hutcherson (1976/77). In den 1980ern hatte er ein Quintett mit Trompeter Nathan Breedlove. In den 1990er Jahren wirkte er unter anderem bei Aufnahmen von Jessica Williams (Joy) und Akbar DePriest mit. In den 2000er Jahren war Caliman weiterhin im Raum Seattle als Leiter eines Quartetts/Quintetts aktiv, mit dem er 2008 ausgezeichnet wurde und trat zuletzt wieder mit Pete Christlieb auf.

U.S. President Donald Trump plans to nominate diplomatic veteran David Satterfield to be the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, the White House said on February 15.
Satterfield, the acting assistant secretary of state for near Eastern affairs since 2017, has been with the U.S. Foreign Service since 1980.
He previously served as the deputy U.S. chief of mission in Iraq, ambassador to Lebanon, and director for Near Eastern affairs on the National Security Council. He has also had assignments in Syria, Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia.
Several issues divide the United States and Turkey, a member of NATO.
The United States and Turkey back differing antigovernment rebel forces in Syria's seven-year civil war.
Washington supports Kurdish militia fighting against Islamic State militants in northern Syria near the Turkish border. Ankara considers the Kurdish fighters to be terrorists with links to Kurdish separatists fighting inside Turkey.
Washington has also refused demands by Ankara to extradite Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Turkey blames for a failed 2016 coup in the country.

2017 Center of Excellence
Keio University School of Medicine was founded in 1917, one of the oldest established and leading autoimmune disease care unit and the biggest university hospital in Japan. Currently 29 departments with over 850 physicians and numbers of professors in rheumatology have graduated our center. Both, patients and clinicians largely benefit from the cutting-edge evaluation, treatment and research that is performed in our department. Physician oriented clinical trial that could benefit payers and patients is performed. Off-label use of unapproved drugs for rare disease is also able through the ethics committee that is also a large benefit for patients.
Division of Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology of Taichung Veterans General Hospital was founded in July 1982. It is the first division of this specialty in Taiwan. The founder was Dr. Joung-Liang Lan (1982-2002). Second chief was Dr. Der-Yuan Chen (2003-2013). Dr Yi-Hsing Chen is the present (3rd) chief of the Division (2013 till now). Our center is one of the major tertiary referral centers of this field and own the largest patient cohort of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and adult onset Still's disease in Taiwan. As the first division of this specialty in Taiwan, about one third of the rheumatologists in Taiwan were trained in this Center. Since 2014, we've been awarded SNQ of Taiwan by its excellency of clinical care in rheumatic diseases. Our center participates actively in various global clinical trials and work closely with many academic research institutions. We have published more than hundreds of papers in the peer-reviewed medical journals for the past 34 years including Nature Immunology, Annals of Rheumatic Diseases and Arthritis and Rheumatology.
Rheumatology center in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital provide high-quality, comprehensive and interdisciplinary medical services which can fulfils every need of patients with rheumatic diseases. The seamless teamwork is led by rheumatologists who are responsible for evaluation of patients, identification of patient needs and allocation of optimal resources. Patients are benefited by receiving outstanding medical care and optimal outcomes. The system reduces the cost that may incur due to a lack of efficiency and integration. The generous funding for clinical and translational research support the innovations generated by highly skilled physicians and their team members.
HUHRD is the first largest hospital for rheumatic diseases in Korea, providing the highest medical services by medical providers with a lot of experiences and know how on various rheumatic diseases. Many domestic and international patients visit us for the differentiated medical services. In addition, the hospital is making efforts to nurture the professional workers in rheumatic treatment and research by providing a systematic education for various kinds of medical workers including private practitioners, researchers and medical providers through various symposiums and educational programs.
Our vision at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Singapore General Hospital is to be a globally recognised academic department where a passionate team delivers excellent patient-centric healthcare in a vibrant environment for research and education. The Autoimmunity and Rheumatology Centre (ARC), inaugurated in 2014 provides a comprehensive range of out-patient services in a one-stop multidisciplinary centre with various sub-specialty clinics. We have a well-recognised programme that delivers rheumatology training to three medical schools and future generations of rheumatologists both locally and regionally. There is a strong research programme helmed by a dedicated team of clinician scientists and clinicians focused on Arthritis (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Spondyloarthritis and Osteoarthritis) and Connective Tissue Diseases (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Systemic Sclerosis). The Reverie Rheumatology Research Fund, established in 2014 to raise funds for Rheumatology research, was a ground-up initiative driven by one of our patients. The fund garnered more than 2 million Singapore dollars (SGD) in donationsover 3 years, a testament to the value and impact of our Department's research. Our clinicians and researchers are thought-leaders in their field, leading in various international (e.g. member of the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) group), national (e.g. Chair of national biologics registry, the systemic sclerosis research workgroup, residency advisory committee) and hospital-level initiatives (e.g. Chair of the hospital Pharmaceutical and Therapeutics committee, member of the national Pharmaceutical and Therapeutics committee).

There is no question that the right business model can make the difference between a good idea that doesn't make it and one that does, and though the jury is still out on the long-term fortunes of Mistbox, a change to the business model and a relaunch on Kickstarter has resulted in a much brighter future.
Just two years ago we wrote about the then new Mistbox, a device that can be retrofitted to most air conditioners and uses evaporative cooling to lower the temperature of the air entering an air conditioner, cutting energy consumption by around 30 percent.
At that time, the Mistbox was powered by a 96 x 54 mm (3.7 x 2.1-in) solar panel and retailed for US$449 before the 30 percent United States Federal Green Tax Credit reduced the net price to $315. The solar panel was there to ensure the device was self-powered for ease of installation.
Mistbox has since been reimagined ever so slightly, with power now provided by a turbine that harvests energy from the exhaust gases of the air conditioner to power itself, while an inbuilt water treatment system has been added to ensure that the mist does not damage the air conditioner.
The biggest difference in the new offering is the pricing model. Until August 14, 2017, users can get a Mistbox for an annual $100 fee (or $10 a month) with no up-front costs on Kickstarter. After August 14, there will be an additional $39 activation fee.
The annual fee includes everything you need, including the Mistbox, four Mistbars, the energy-harvesting turbine, an unlimited number of water treatment filters, the cost of the cellular connection to the Mistbox (which enables the company to monitor the device and ship filters in advance of them being needed), and a lifetime warranty.
Tthe company has attempted to remove every potential buyer objection by offering free cancellation if you're not happy with the unit for whatever reason. As with the previous version of the Mistbox, there's an app (Android or iPhone) for monitoring the health of the unit.
Mistbox has surpassed its crowdfunding goal more than 10 times over, and deliveries are slated for August if all goes to plan. The offer is restricted to residents of the United States and Canada initially, though given the number of air conditioners in the world, there is obvious scope for international distributors to enter the picture.
