With development of the first Comfort in 1990, Sinner was already experimenting with electric motors. From the start of pioneering, Sinner has become a specialist in electric motor pedal assist integration. The Comfort is especially suited to the fitment of electric motors. The Comfort is a touring recumbent built for comfort and accessibility rather than speed, however it is by no mean a slow bike. For those who have difficulty with unassisted cycling our pedal assist systems offer the capacity to cover larger distances and keep cycling for longer. The electric motor assists while the rider pedals and the assist power can be regulated by the rider on the fly.The speed is fixed to the legally specified maximum of 25 KPH approximately 15 MPH.

Max temp yield is 2138-2250k. Beam till almost all blue them stop. Check temp when done. Slowly beam closer to all blue until you get to 2138-2250k. Any hotter and it blows up. Takes practice, but the wider beam really helps.

Баронесса Амалия Георгиевна фон-Менгден (; 1799, Курляндия — 1864, Костромская губерния) — фабрикантша, одна из первых женщин-предпринимателей в текстильной промышленности России. Более 30 лет (с 1830 по 1864 гг.) управляла образцовой фабрикой своего мужа генерала М. А. Менгдена (1781—1855) в сельце Никольском Костромской губернии, выпускавшей столовое бельё высшего качества.

Биография
Амалия Георгиевна фон-Менгден (урожденная баронесса Фёлькерзам) родилась в 1799 году в Курляндии. По вероисповеданию лютеранка. Отец — барон Георгий Фёдорович фон Фёлькерзам (1766—1848), был лифляндским гражданским губернатором в 1829—1847. Брат — барон Гамилькар Георгиевич фон Фёлькерзам (1811—1856), «Ливонский Мирабо», был лифляндским ландмаршалом (губернским предводителем дворянства) с 1848 по 1851.

Баронесса славилась красотой, её портрет написал известный немецкий портретист Ричард Лаукерт (судьбу картины выяснить не удалось). Вышла замуж за другого представителя остзейского дворянства, барона Михаила Менгдена (1781—1855), которому принадлежало имение Никольское с вотчинной фабрикой столового белья, основанной в 1800-х годах.

Одним из полковых командиров в дивизии генерала Менгдена был декабрист Пестель, часто посещавший дом генерала. В разговорах с Амалией Георгиевной, как будто шутя, Пестель мечтал вслух, что со временем он будет диктатором в России. Баронесса его останавливала, приговаривая: «Пестель, Пестель, плохо вы кончите», при этом она проводила пальцами по своей шее.

По воспоминаниям внучки Софии, после смерти мужа Амалия Георгиевна «жила круглый год в деревне, крестьян лечила, помогала им, входила в их нужды». Тем не менее весной 1861 году после отмены крепостного права в имении баронессы (как и в соседних имениях) произошли массовые волнения крестьян. Крестьяне отказывались идти на барщину и платить оброк. Для усмирения крестьян пришлось вызвать войска, а зачинщиков наказать.

Амалия фон Менгден скончалась в начале 1864 года в сельце Никольском Костромской губернии (ныне д. Сошники Вичугского района Ивановской области, в 4 км к северо-востоку от г. Вичуги). Сразу после её смерти младший сын Владимир перевёз её тело в семейный склеп Фёлькерзам, находящийся в родовом имении Штейнзе (Steinensee) в Курляндской губернии (ныне это музеефицированная усадьба Stelmužė в Зарасайском районе Литвы, недалеко от латвийско-литовской границы к юго-западу от Даугавпилса)

Дети
 Старший сын — Александр (1820—1903), дипломат.
 Средний сын — Николай (1822—1888), правовед, «первый русский турист в Бразилии»
 Младший сын — Владимир (1825—1910), член Государственного совета, один из возможных прототипов Каренина из романа «Анна Каренина».
 Дочь — Мария (1828—1902), была замужем за графом Дмитрием Иануарьевичем Толстым.

Keep track of sales & check store sale weekly - If you have enough time I'd suggest keeping track of store sales. I've heard the average sale cycle is 6-8 weeks. To me, ain't no body got time for dat. Dat being keeping a sales book, comparing prices, and traveling from store to store. There are 2 stores I mainly shop at - CVS & Meijer. However, I do want to start at least keeping an idea of the rotation of sales. But also I check the sales at CVS each week which easy because you can view the ad online usually on Saturday nights. I also check our Meijer's ad and clip their coupons often through their mPerks app on my phone & iPad. It doesn't hurt to save a little something when you go in. Even if you're not dropping you're $150 grocery bill down to $2. Also try doubling coupons on top of sales. Meijer had a good sale on paper towels last week & they had a coupon on their mPerks app. And it turned out to be a bit better to buy a huge pack than a small pack.
Buy what you need when you need it (part 1) - While you can keep track of sales, the best thing to do is to buy what you need when you need it & stock up when it's on sale. The best example of this is the laundry detergent I just bought. Zach & I are a two person household so laundry detergent goes a loooong way. Recently I bought 3 Arm & Hammer 32 load detergent bottles at 3 for $7.49 (a buy 1, get 2 free deal). It would have been sweeter with another coupon on top, but alas I did not have one. So I know we are going to need more laundry detergent in the near future, I keep that in the back of my mind as I'm out looking for deals. I saw that deal & stocked up because 96 loads can last us at least 8 months (I do about 3 loads of laundry a week). So the point of this is to buy what you need when you need it. Do I care that I got Arm & Hammer and not Tide? Nope, we don't have sensitive skin nor do we notice the change in any sort of way from different brands. Same sort of thing with toothpaste & tooth brushes - if you find a really good sale & are down enough in that department to justify picking up a few, do it. I try to have no more that 3 things depending on the size. Ain't no body got room for a serious stock pile (but if you do, go for it!) Toothpaste is small so 3 items take up no space while detergent can be bulky so 3 things might end up being too much.
Buy what you need when you need it (part 2) - Don't buy 3 of a product you tend to change up often. I bought Pantene shampoo on a great sale once right before I decided to try out Suave Moroccan Infusion line and now I have a whole bunch of shampoo that I don't want to use because I have a new favorite. Same with face wash - I'm getting bored of my L'Oreal Youth Code collection but I have 2 other face washes I need to use and I don't want to because I want to try something new. The other side of this is you can always donate anything unopened through your church or other group that may collect for a shelter. Along the same lines - if you have 3 of something but want to try something new, try with all your might to use it all up before you migrate. You might also find that you won't get a bang up deal all the time when you wait around to buy what you need but try to double up coupons and purchase the smaller item to save the most, shop with your rewards (like CVS Extra Bucks), and keep in mind when you'll need to be looking for this item again.
Clip coupons for what you need - Don't need any cat food? Then don't select clip all on coupons.com because you'll be printing for days. Take the time to clip things you are thinking you will need & keep in mind what you'll be in search of over the next month or so. Keep a mental list or an actual list...doesn't matter, but clip what you need & not everything. It's always nice to have extra coupons on hand for Advil and the like as you may need to run out and get some randomly. Think a tummy ache with no Pepto or suddenly sick with no NyQuil. It doesn't hurt to save even a little bit.
You don't have to use a coupon (part 1) - Just because you have one doesn't mean you have to use it. Along the same lines as part 1 & 2 above - I have a $2.00 off two Head & Shoulders shampoo which both of us use sometimes. We are nearly out with only half of a back up bottle (don't ask me how that happened) so it's time to start looking for a good deal. While I'm writing this, CVS has Head & Shoulder's as 2 for $10 so with that coupon it brings it down to $8. Well the CVS brand shampoo is something like 2 for $7...so that's not a great deal. I don't have to use the coupon and in fact I lose out a dollar when it comes to overall savings. That Head & Shoulders coupon is good for another month or so, so if & when I find a better deal I can use it. But until then we are set on a back up there's no need to waste a dollar.
You don't have to use a coupon (part 2) - Stacking generic store coupons - like $3 off $15 in beauty type of coupons - may help get a store brand product for free. For example, I have a $1.10 off of an Olay body wash but I got the CVS brand for free using a CVS $1 off $$ body wash or shower gel coupon + a $5 Extra Buck reward. That brought the $5.99 CVS body wash down to free when I would have paid something like $3 for the Olay brand. That was a good price to grab another & use the coupon before it expired. Sooooo I guess if you can use a coupon you should - but only if it's going to be awesome.
Mix & match BOGO sales - If you can mix & match your BOGO sales so you aren't stocking up on too many of one thing. A good example is with the CVS beauty department. Often they will have a sale where Maybelline, Revlon, & Almay are buy one, get one 50% off. Look carefully but usually that means you can pick up one Maybelline and one Revlon item & get the lesser one 50% off. I did this in Meijer the other day - knowing I need more Suave conditioner I picked up a large Suave conditioner & dry shampoo along with a Pantene hairspray because the deal was buy 2 of any Suave or Pantene product, get one free. I use conditioner a lot so I got the big bottle. I don't have any more dry shampoo. And I find my self needing hair spray again but not too often so I picked up the smaller bottle of hair spray. That meant my hair spray was free. By mixing & matching and buying the sizes/quantities you need you'll never be over purchasing.
So those are a few tips I have on couponing & saving without stock piling. If you think you need a garage full of paper towels then do it but even saving 20% on something is worth it, in my opinion as I don't have room for floor to ceiling paper towels in my garage.
How do you save money on everyday items?

Pandemic Influenza Severity Assessment (PISA)
0f7042fc-f2b7-48f6-af68-8d0587d2d6eb
"Is it a bad flu season?" PISA was developed to assist countries in answering this question because influenza epidemics and pandemics vary in severity. Knowing how severe an influenza season is can help countries respond, adapt control measures and prepare for a pandemic. This course introduces the concept of influenza severity assessment and covers its required steps, from choosing data to using, reporting and communicating severity estimates. The target audience of this course is public health professionals at the national level who perform, or plan to perform, national influenza severity assessments and who can contribute to global influenza severity assessments. The employers and employees of these public health officers would also benefit from this course, as would any other public health professional working on influenza epidemiology. For more information, please follow this link to the [WHO PISA website][1]. [1]: http://www.who.int/influenza/surveillance_monitoring/pisa/en/
Advanced (Avancé)
Overview: The Pandemic Influenza Severity Assessment (PISA) tool is a framework for using existing influenza surveillance data to determine a qualitative judgment on the severity of a current influenza epidemic or pandemic in comparison to past epidemics and pandemics. In this context, severity refers to how many people are infected with the influenza virus, how sick the infected people are and the effect of the epidemic or pandemic on the healthcare system and society. The tool is intended to be used at the national level so that each country can describe the epidemiological situation in-country and adjust their response measures. Country severity assessments will contribute to a WHO global situational analysis and inform global decisions and recommendations. The target audience for this training course is public health professionals at the national level who perform, or plan to perform, national influenza severity assessments and who can contribute to global influenza severity assessments. The employer and employees of these public health officers would also benefit from this learning module, as would any other public health professional working on influenza epidemiology.
The purpose of the first module of this course is to introduce the concept of influenza severity assessment to those not familiar with it and to pique interest in the tool so that potential users will want to learn more about its use and application. In-depth training modules on the PISA methods and their application are planned for later this year.
Learning objectives: By the end of this course, participants should understand:
why assessing influenza severity is important;
when and how to assess influenza severity;
how to communicate severity assessment findings; and
how to contribute to a global influenza severity assessment.
Course duration: Approximately 5 hours.
Certificates: No certificate available at this time.

Alamo Drafthouse Vintage Park Opens February 14
by Eric Sandler Jan 24, 2013, 7:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: Alamo Drafthouse Vintage Park Opens February 14
Alamo Drafthouse will open its new location in the Vintage Park development south of Tomball on February 14. In a press release issued today, it announced that five of the seven screens will utilize the latest version of the Sony 4K projectors. The theater will also feature stadium seating while still offering Alamo's trademark mix of new releases and classic films.
HOUSTON, Jan. 24, 2013 – Triple Tap Ventures LLC, owner and operator of the Houston area Alamo Drafthouse Cinema theaters, is expanding its franchise with a new seven-screen location at the Vintage Park Shopping Village, an exciting development in Northwest Houston. The new theater will bring Alamo's approach of delivering a unique entertainment experience to this rapidly growing community. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema - Vintage Park will be exclusively equipped with all Sony 4K projection equipment, including the newest 4K system, the SRX-R515P, on five of its seven screens.
"We believe in the Sony 4K technology and are excited to be one of the first in North America to deploy Sony's latest version projection system," said Neil Michaelsen, CEO of Triple Tap Ventures LLC. "Our focus is to provide an experience with diverse programming, and to deliver the best presentation for our audience. Additional 4K content is becoming available through 4K restorations of classic films as well as first-run features. By selecting the newest technology, we will have the flexibility to play the latest releases in the highest possible quality, be it 4K, High Frame Rate or 2K."
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is well-known for curating diverse film programming, hosting Alamo-only interactive movie events and showcasing first-run Hollywood feature films. The new Vintage Park location will also feature enhancements like stadium seating to complete the total "in-theater" experience.
"Sony's approach to digital cinema is a perfect match for the Alamo brand and the future vision of our theaters," said Tim Reed, Chief Development Officer of Alamo Drafthouse. "As we continue to expand our operations, having a partner like Sony is a tremendous benefit that will help us to achieve our ultimate goal: continually improving the guest experience that we deliver to our customers when they visit an Alamo theater."
The Sony SRX-R515P projector builds on the success of its 4K predecessors, delivering the same industry-leading resolution, contrast and immersive experience, complemented by enhancements in affordability, performance and functionality. The system uses a new lens specifically made for 4K projection, made of Extra Low Dispersion glass. Its new optical engine creates a high-contrast image of more than 8000:1 (average), achieved by improving the separation of light reflected from the SXRD panel.
"What is great about this new model projector is the scalability for a smaller auditorium, giving our customers another product option based on the needs of their theater," said Christopher Simpson, National Account Manager for Sony's Digital Cinema Solutions group. "We are excited to be a part of this project."

Nancy does not view singleness as a misfortune to be dreaded or resented, but rather, in the will of God, as a wonderful gift to be received with gratitude. She believes that the key to experiencing joy and fulness as a single is to discover and embrace the unique plan and calling of God. Nancy shares ten practical commitments that are the pathway to true blessing for every Christian single.
Hierdie joernaal is 'n studie van Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth se persoonlike gebede (personal petitions), wat sy oor jare heen, deel van haar daaglikse gebedslewe maak. Ingesluit in elke dag se studie is Nancy se gedagtes, bybelverse, 'n aanbidingslied, aanhalings van ander en spasie vir persoonlike refleksie en groepsbespreking. Dit is ideaal vir 'n Bybelstudies of Kleingroeppe.
Are you looking for that perfect gift for your relative, friend, or co-worker? Consider Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth's The Quiet Place: 366 Devotional Readings. This leather-bound daily devotional featuring the best of Nancy's teaching is sure to be a meaningful gift and a close companion for the women you know in the coming year.
Our generation has been programmed to pursue happiness, positive self-images, and cures for our hurt feelings and damaged psyches. But God is not as interested in these ends as we are - He is more committed to making us holy than to making us happy. There is only one pathway to holiness, one road to genuine revival, and that is the pathway of humility or brokenness. Brokenness is where true revival begins.
In this compelling book, Nancy draws readers to a deeper understanding of biblical brokenness. While some may think of it as a sad and gloomy emotional state, Nancy says emphatically, "It's not how we feel, but a choice we make. It is in this place of humility and contrition before a holy God that we experience true restoration of our hearts." This would be great for a small group study.
Why should we be holy? What difference does holiness make in our everyday lives? And what difference could a holy church make in an unholy world? In this third book of the Revive Our Hearts trilogy, Holiness: the Heart God Purifies, Nancy Leigh DeMoss challenges us to think about these questions and to ultimately discover what it means to be holy. With her compelling mix of profound biblical insight and personal example, Nancy shares a message that is a stirring challenge to choose the pathway of holiness so that our lives will radiate the splendor of our holy God.
If you've been fighting a losing spiritual battle, it's time to give up. Bow the knee. Wave the white flag. And turn yourself over to the King of kings. The truth is, your salvation, your initial 'surrender' to Christ, was just the starting point. You will never know real joy, real peace, real success until you learn what it means to live a fully surrendered life, to continually say 'no' to self and 'yes' to God. Choosing the pathway to full surrender will transform your perspective, set fire to your soul, revolutionize your life, and give the spiritual victory you have sought for so long. This paperback edition includes a foreword by Pastor Jim Cymbala and a discussion guide for each chapter.
Lies Young Women Believe will give girls aged 13-19 the tools they need to identify where their lives and beliefs are off course--the result of buying into Satan's lies about God, guys, media, and more. Nancy Leigh DeMoss teams up with youth author Dannah Gresh to speak to teenage girls about the top lies they believe. They then equip young women in the skills and the truths of Scripture that overcome those lies. This is a great small group study for teen girls.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss addresses forty common lies that enslave Christian women today, and helps women begin to walk in freedom and true joy. This book is a must-read for any woman who longs to be free. Also, a great small group study for women.
In A Place of Quiet Rest, Nancy Leigh DeMoss demystifies the process of coming to know God intimately. Nancy shares from her heart and life how a daily devotional time can forever change your relationship with Jesus. She addresses the common frustrations and pitfalls that most of us encounter in our devotional life, and makes practical suggestions for overcoming them. Nancy gives us the encouragement--and tools--to seek after God for a lifetime.

The Legend of Zorro (2005): THIS MOVIE IS OUTSTANDING!
That being said, let me tell you a little bit about why this movie receives such a remark. First of all, I loved the earlier film "The Mask of Zorro" from 1998. They took their sweet time making this sequel, but it was worth the wait because this was extremely well done. I like it that they got Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones back for this second film. They really work well together, and the film can elaborate on the personalities of the characters that we already knew from the previous Zorro movie. They really act like husband and wife.
For one thing, the action is non-stop. From the very beginning to the very end of this film Zorro is active in one way or another. A real advantage to this movie over its predecessor is that he is already Zorro, so we don't have to sit through all the "how he came to be Zorro" stuff. The action scenes are extremely well choreographed and designed. Whether he's fighting on a bridge, in a secret nitroglycerin factory, and especially the train, you can see what's going on at every moment. I'm extremely impressed with the elaborate stuntwork and certainly the special effects.
Another real big bonus is that the characters were "loosened up" in this film. The characters in the earlier film sometimes took themselves too seriously. Even the bad guys in this film had a sense of humor at times. Zorro is a funny drunk and jealous husband, and Elena (Zorro's wife) finally took the stick out of her fanny and had funny moments this time around, while still being very glamorous. Zorro's horse seems to have a bigger part in the show as well this time around. They used the horse for comedy several times such as when he's drinking booze, smoking a pipe, or when his eyes get wide with fear at an upcoming low bridge (while atop a speeding train).
The real smart thing about this Zorro movie is that it's giving us something different from most Zorro movies. Here our man in black has a wife and a son. And both of them are very significant to the film. They aren't just "there", they're part of the story. I noticed a BIG change in Catherine Zeta-Jones' character of Elena De La Vega. She is definitely a heroine in this film and quite an action starlet. In the last film she was merely a semi-antagonistic love interest. In "Legend of Zorro", we get to see her beat the stuffing out of enemies quite a few times. And she really does have personality. Very strong and self-sufficient. She can hold her own very well when Zorro's not around. In fact, I've given Elena De La Vega her own page which you will find by CLICKING ON THIS LINK!
Special attention from this viewer is focused on Zorro's son Joaquin (as played by Adrian Alonso). It's hard to find really good child actors in films, but the makers of this film picked a really good one in young Mr. Alonso. He has expression and can act, and man can he really move! Joaquin is a talented little dude. And I like that cocky personality of his. He is definitely the son of Zorro that we would envision.
The bad guys are more interesting this time around, too. Rufus Sewell plays Count Armand, who is plotting to destroy the United States with his new weapon of mass destruction (nitroglycerin). Armand is a snappy dresser with wolf-like charm and an arrogant French accent. He manages to get ahold of Zorro's wife Elena. Don't worry, it's not true love, but I don't want to spoil the movie for you. She still loves Zorro (and vice versa). Armand's bald henchman with the silver, hook-like weapon is also interesting to look at. The villain that stands out the best though is Armand's hired man, Jacob McGivens (played masterfully by Nick Chinlund). He's a really grotesque-looking, long-haired cowboy freak with a scar on the right side of his face that looks like a cross. The scar looks nasty, like a big booger or something. He also has dentures and beard stubble. We have to guess that the scar is probably self-inflicted since he's always spewing Bible quotes at his victims. He's definitely a menacing character.
Last, but certainly not least, is Julio Oscar Mechoso as Zorro's sidekick Frey Felipe. Mechoso is an incredible actor and he's been in many TV shows and movies. I follow his work. If I know he's going to be in something, I watch it. By the way, if you can ever get ahold of any episodes of "Damon", the sitcom where he played a cop opposite Damon Wayans, I highly recommend it. Getting back to his role in "Legend of Zorro", Felipe is a holy man that helps keep Zorro's identity secret while ringing the church bells to signal the crimefighter. He's a competent character, but also funny. And he does live throughout the entire film although there's one moment where things look pretty bleak. Mechoso's characters always have a lot of personality, and he brings that to this character.
If you haven't already seen "The Legend of Zorro", you've got to see it. Unless you're a real dullard, you are going to absolutely love this film like I do! There are a lot of thrills and funny moments, some tragedy, but ultimately a fun, feel-good movie with a happy ending. There is a purpose for everything that happens in the film and it all comes out good by the finish.
This comes from the scene in the movie where Zorro cuts a "Z" in the main villain's vest. It spawns what I think has to be one of the greatest lines in movies, as said by Zorro: "So the Devil will know who sent you!"

Slavery Book Launch
Posted on October 9, 2012 March 6, 2016 by Sylvia Wong Lewis
We are pleased to manage the NYC book launch of Gather at the Table: The Healing Journey of a Daughter of Slavery and a Son of the Slave Trade. The book, by my dear colleagues Sharon Morgan and Tom DeWolf, chronicles a shared journey toward race reconciliation.
Gather at the Table will have a NYC launch event, Saturday, October 20, 3pm at the Quaker Meeting House.
Gather at the Table: The Healing Journey of a Daughter of Slavery and a Son of the Slave Trade, the new book from Beacon Press, chronicles the shared journey toward racial reconciliation by authors Thomas Norman DeWolf and Sharon Leslie Morgan. Their national tour promotes conversations about race, social justice, and healing from the generational trauma of slavery at colleges, universities and other venues.
The Northeast Chapter of Coming to the Table (http://comingtothetable.org) and Narrative Network, ( https://www.narrativenetwork.net), will host Morgan and DeWolf at 3PM, Saturday, October 20, 2012 at the Quaker Meeting House, 15 Rutherford Place, New York City.
They will share excerpts from their book, introduce a model of healing and engage the audience in storytelling exercises. The event is free to the public and media is invited to cover.
In Gather at the Table, DeWolf and Morgan speak candidly about racism and the unhealed wounds of slavery. "The legacy of slavery," they write, "is a combination of historical, cultural, and structural trauma that continues to touch everyone in American society today."
"Schools, neighborhoods and churches are as segregated as ever; health disparities between black and white people remain significant and African Americans are overrepresented in prisons and underrepresented in colleges. Racism is more subtle now that in the past, but it still exists. Healing will happen and change will occur, when people start listening to one another and looking truthfully at their ancestral experiences."
The importance of the book's message, given the present climate of political and social discord, could not be more timely.
Nobel Peace Laureate, 2011, Leymah Gbowee hails Gather at the Table as "an honest exploration into the deep social wounds left by racism, violence and injustice." John Paul Lederach, Professor of International Peacebuilding at Notre Dame calls it, "An extraordinary story of an honest, meaningful conversation across the racial divide."
For more information about the book, a media kit and a complete list of scheduled appearances: http:// www.gatheratthetable.net
Thomas Norman DeWolf, author of Inheriting the Trade, is featured in the Emmy-nominated documentary
film Traces of the Trade, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and on the acclaimed PBS series POV. DeWolf speaks regularly about healing from the legacy of slavery and racism at conferences and colleges throughout the United States.
Sharon Morgan is a marketing communications consultant and a nationally recognized pioneer in multicultural marketing. An avid genealogist, she is the webmaster for OurBlackAncestry.com, a founder of the National Black Public Relations Society and a consultant to the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society.

Q: How to get value from  dropdown menu in Angular? I made a dropdown menu. I want to dynamically set the default value. When the user changes the value I want a method to fire in the component controller and log the new value.
This dynamically sets the default value and shows all of the options. When the user changes the option the method onChange() fires. The problem is that the method logs the <select>, not the <option>.
<form>
   <select (change)="onChange($event.target)" style="padding: 10px; font-size: 12pt;">
       <option *ngFor="let number of numbers" [selected]="number==clipInMovieWatching">Watch clip: {{number}}</option>
   </select>
</form>

onChange(event: any) {
    console.log(event);
}

Result logged:
<select _ngcontent-keh-c129 style="padding: 10px; font-size: 12pt;">…</select>

All of the options are logged, not the option that the user selected.
console.log(event.target) logs undefined.
console.log(event.target.target) throws an error Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'value').
I tried using Material mat-select:
<mat-form-field>
   <mat-select>
      <mat-option (onSelectionChange)="selectClip($event)" *ngFor="let number of numbers" [value]="number">Watch clip: {{number}}</mat-option>
   </mat-select>
</mat-form-field>

selectClip(event: any) {
    console.log(event.source.value);
}

This logs the option that the user selected. But the dropdown menu doesn't show the default option. The documentation shows a property selected:
selected: MatOption | MatOption[]

The currently selected option.

but I can't get it to work.
Also, mat-select shows only four options. How can I make it show all the options?

A: Try
console.log(event.target.value);

A: The mistake was that in the HTML view I had (change)="onChange($event.target) or (change)="onChange($event.target.value). That throws the undefined error. The correct code is (change)="onChange($event)". Then in the controller console.log(event.target.value);.
<form>
   <select (change)="onChange($event)" style="padding: 10px; font-size: 12pt;">
       <option *ngFor="let number of numbers" [value]="number" [selected]="number==clipInMovieWatching">Watch clip: {{number}}</option>
   </select>
</form>

onChange(event: any) {
  console.log(event.target.value);
}

[value]="number" helps but isn't essential. Without this it logs Watch clip: 14. With this code it logs 14.

I have been visiting this site for a while now and finally decided to try out my casein paints. It is a very different kind of paint than the watercolors and acrylics I am use to. I love the finished feel they have.


Chardonnay is a varietal that's difficult to pair with foods. But the creamy, buttery sweetness of butternut squash makes a good complement to wine. The same is true of tarragon, which in small amounts is a delicious backdrop for most chardonnays. Utterly satisfying, this pairing is comfort food and comfort wine at its best.
Combine broth, water, wine, and tarragon in a saucepan; bring to a simmer. Keep warm over low heat.
Place pan in oven; bake at 325° for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Stir in the squash, pancetta, cheese, salt, and pepper. Cover with a clean cloth; let stand 10 minutes (rice will continue to cook). Sprinkle with pine nuts. Garnish with tarragon sprigs, if desired.
Perfect wine: Clos du Val Chardonnay 2001 (Carneros, CA), $ This chardonnay has refined flavors reminiscent of custard, caramel, apple tarts, and honey. There's a hint of oak, but the wine is not superbuttery, oaky, or toasty. This wine is complemented by the savoriness of the rice and the sweetness of the squash.
This risotto was so so good. I've been looking for a savory dish for butternut squash (that isn't soup) for a really long time and this is exactly what I had in mind. I made it as written except that I needed to add a little more stock to the rice before I put it in the oven, but I think I may have simmered it a little too hot so I'm calling it user error. I served it as a main dish with garlic bread and my whole family ate it. My 2 year old and 5 year old even cleaned their plates and they don't eat ANYTHING. Thank you for a wonderful take on a fall favorite.
I don't cook much with squash because I like savory more than sweet. Squash tends to have a sweeter flavor than I like. However, this recipe is incredibly flavorful and savory. I did add extra garlic and pancetta. But other than that, I didn't change a thing. I will definitely make this again.
I just want to say that this the first recipe that I have made twice in a row. This recipe is awesome. The flavors are great. The roasted squash brings out the sweetness and is a complement to the pancetta. I used Marsala and it was perfect. I made the same recipe except I got rid of the squash and added sliced sautéed button mushrooms that I sautéed with the onions and fresh grated parmesan cheese at the end. Excellent. I don't know what the reviewers are talking about when they say that this recipe produces bland flavors and they won't make it again. The whole point of cooking is the improvise and improve. I would say to them, make it again and adjust the seasoning to your taste. However, the recipe as is, is outstanding.
I liked the fact that I didn't have to stir this risotto but it was very bland. I even had a glass of chardonnay with it and it just was not very good. I did use turkey bacon instead of the pancetta but I don't think it should have made that much of a difference. If I am going to splurge on risotto I want it to be absolutely delicious. I was planning on using this for a wine tasting party so I am so glad I tried it before hand. I will not be serving this at the party.
This recipe far exceeded our expectations. The favors are amazing and it is one of the best risottos we've ever had! Not too rich or overbearing, this recipe is perfect. Added to our favorite homemade recipes, must try!!!
This truly was an excellent dish. My first time to make risotto. My kids loved this. I think if you didn't have pancetta you could get away with using bacon or even turkey bacon. This recipe is a keeper.
After reading all of the fabulous reviews on this dish, I was really excited to make it. I was very disappointed however with the final product as it was very bland. I added some garlic powder and salt to give it a little more flavor, but this is one I will not be making again.

Q: Embedding Facebook photo albums with like button, on my website Can I do something like this?
I want to have all the photos from my fan page, embedded on my website.
Want to have the option to like each photo - must.
Want that each photo will have a link to the real URL on Facebook - must.
Would like to share and comment as well but not as important.
Please let me know if you have an idea of how I can do it.
I saw a lot of examples but nothing that include these things.
Thanks!

A: Getting some of the photos is easy. Getting all of the photos is nearly impossible. Start with a Graph API call to the photos object.
To get the photos, create and app, install the PHP SDK on your site. This code should get you started.
$config = array(
   'appId'  => 'YOUR_APP_ID',
   'secret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
);
 if (!class_exists('Facebook'))
    include_once 'PATH_TO_SDK/facebook.php';
 $fb_object = new Facebook($config);

 $photos = $fb_object->api('PAGE_ID_OR_USERNAME/photos', 'GET');
 printf('<pre>%s</pre>', print_r($photos, true));

You'll need to iterate through these results to get more than 15 of your photos. Photos that aren't marked as "Public" won't be returned by this API call.
To create a like or a comment, you need to auth the user and then POST to the Graph API using the photo id.

KU Libraries offer new resources and facilities' updates
KU Libraries are offering a range of new resources and spaces for students, faculty and staff across campus, including a new quick-record studio, additional group study rooms, reflection rooms and gender-inclusive restrooms.
In Watson Library, new furniture was installed in select locations throughout the building. The fifth floor quiet study space underwent a comprehensive refresh of furniture, offering an increased number of seating options to suit individual study preferences.
Studio K, located on the third floor, will be open for use as students begin their fall semester. Developed in collaboration with KU IT, Studio K is a quick-record studio, designed so that any user can walk in and start recording a speech, demonstration or presentation within moments of arrival. All patrons need to bring is a USB drive, which will immediately store the recording. Optionally, users can bring a PowerPoint file which can display during the presentation.
Two newly-constructed group study rooms are now available in Watson 300B and 300C. Students, faculty or staff can reserve Studio K or group study rooms at http://calendar.lib.ku.edu/ for up to two hours.
The fourth floor of Watson offers a refurbished GIS & Data Lab. Adjustable workstations and an 80-inch touch screen monitor can be found in the renovated space.
Circulation services have extended hours in Spahr, Watson and Anschutz Libraries. Staff will now be available from 10 p.m.- midnight on Sunday through Thursday. Overnight study hours will continue to be offered in Anschutz Library, and Watson will remain open until 2 a.m. More information on building hours can be found https://lib.ku.edu/locations-hours.
KU Libraries have also created two reflection rooms for use by students, faculty and staff. These spaces, located in Watson 585 and Anschutz 320L, are available expressly for the purposes of reflection, meditation and prayer, regardless of faith or denomination. The rooms will be available for use during regularly scheduled building hours. Additional details about these and other reflection rooms across campus are available at http://diversity.ku.edu/reflection-room
In addition, gender-inclusive restrooms are now available on the fifth floor of Watson and the south side of Anschutz's second floor.
"We look forward to students experiencing the transformations that our libraries have undergone," said Kent Miller, associate dean of KU Libraries. "We continue pursuing ways to make our spaces and resources more open and inclusive for all students, faculty and staff."

This lesson is set in the RoC. In this lesson, you'll learn to understand basic questions and answers used in buying things in a newsstand. Peter Cook is in a reading room in a library in Taipei and is looking for an English language newspaper. Listen as he asks another student if the reading room has any.
Zhèli yǒu Yīngwen bào ma?这里有英文报吗 Are there any English language newspapers here?
Yǒu. Jiù zài náli. 友。就在那里 Yes. They're right over there.
Here is the word for newspaper.
Here is the word for right here/right over there.
In Chinese, the place word zhèli is followed directly by the verb yǒu. In English, the word there is added between the place word here and the verb are. Here, there are English language newspapers.
In both English and Chinese, the place word here is the topic of the sentence; the word that lets you know what the sentence is going to say something about. You'll remember an earlier case where the filler word there was added to fill the subject position of an English sentence with no real subject e.g. There are five people in my family. Chinese doesn't need to add a subject.
In asking a yes/no question, instead of using the yes/no question marker ma, you may offer your listener a choice between the affirmative and the negative. When the negative form is tagged on at the end, both syllables are usually in the neutral tone. The structure of this type of yes/no question, which we will call a choice-type yes/no question, can be brought out by a more literal English translation e.g. Are there any English language newspapers here or not?
Suppose the library hadn't had any English newspapers. After leaving the library, Mr. Cook goes to a newsstand. Listen.
Wǒ xiǎng mǎi Yīngwen bào.我想买英文报 I would like to buy an English-language newspaper.
Hǎo. Jiù zài zhèli.好。就在这里 Fine. They're right here.
You've had the word xiǎng before, meaning to think or to plan or to intend to.
Here is the word for to buy.
Notice the use of the word hǎo which has the basic meaning to be good. In situations like this, it's used for expressions like fine, sure, certainly or alright.
Having spotted the English language newspaper he wants, Mr. Cook finds out the price from the clerk.
Zhège duōshao qián?这个多少钱 How much is this one?
Here is the word for how much.
Here is the word for money.
And here is the word for one dollar.
Notice that kuài is a counter for an amount of money namely one dollar. The amount wǔkuài qián therefore, is literally, five dollars money. The dollars in this exchange are of course Taiwan dollars.
Notice that the Chinese question about price has no word that corresponds to the word is in English. Word for word, the question zhège duōshao qián? is this one how much money?
A clerk is also likely to quote a price as so much per unit, using the appropriate counter to indicate the unit. Listen.
Zhège Zhōngwen bào duōshao qián?这个中文报多少钱 How much is the Chinese-language newspaper?
Sānkuài qián yífèn.三块一份 Three dollars a copy.
The bound word fèn copy is a counter for newspapers. The clerk is saying that the newspaper is three dollars per copy.
Now Mr. Cooks asks for something else.
Nǐmen zhèli mài Měiguo zázhì bú mài?你们这里卖美国杂志不卖 Do you sell American magazines here?
Mài. Wǒmen zhèli mài.卖。我们这里卖 Yes, we sell them here.
Here is the word for to sell.
And here is the word for a magazine.
Notice that the verbs for to sell and to buy are the same except for tones. The word for to buy is in the low tone while the word for to sell is in the falling tone.
In the topic position in these sentences are the place phrases nǐmen zhèli and wǒmen zhèli which means something like Your place here and Our place here. We might catch what the Chinese sentences are really saying by translating them as for your place here, do you sell American magazines? As for our place here, we don't.
Notice that the question in this exchange is a choice type question. With the negative choice mai tagged on at the end in the neutral tone.
Sānshíkuài qián yíběn.三十块钱 Thirty dollars a copy.
Hǎo, wǒ mǎi yìběn.好,我买一本 Fine, I'll buy one.
The counter for magazines or books is běn. When it's used with magazines, we translate it as copy. When it's used with books, we translate it volume.
Nǐmen zhèli yǒu Měiguo shū méiyou?你们这里有美国书没有 Do you have any American books here?
Duìbuqǐ, Měiguo shū wǒmen bú mài.对不起,美国书我们不卖 I'm sorry, we don't sell American books here.
You'll remember it from the phrase niàn shū study books.
More literally, the expression duìbuqǐ means something like I can't face you. In this sentence, the object Měiguo shū, comes first in the topic position followed by the subject, wǒmen. We can do the same thing in English as in the sentence American books, we don't sell.
As we've said, the words for to buy and to sell are the same except for their tones. But which is which? One way to keep them straight is to learn them in a fixed order – the order we would normally follow in English: buy and sell. Notice that they are in the same order in which the tones were originally presented with low tone followed by falling tone.
To help sort these two words out, try translating the following random sentences about buying and selling.
The next exchange involves getting a total. Listen.
Bào, zázhì, yígòng duōshao qián?报,杂志,一共多少钱 How much are the newspaper and maga-zine altogether?
Bào wǔkuài, zázhì sānshíkuài报五块,杂志三十块 The newspaper is five dollars; the magazine is thirty dollars.
Yígòng sānshíwǔkuài qián.一共三十五块钱 Altogether, it's thirty-five dollars.
Notice that the adverb yígòng Altogether comes after the items it sums up and before the price. In this exchange, the money expressions have been abbreviated by omitting the word qián money. You will only be required to understand this kind of abbreviation, not to produce it.
Mr. Cook thinks of something else he wants. Listen and review afterwards.
Nǐmen zhèli mài dìtǔ. bú mài?你们这里卖地图。不卖 Do you sell maps here?
Mài. Zài náli.mai。在那里 We do. They're over there.
Nín xiǎng mǎi shénme dìtǔ?您想买什么地图 What kind of map would you like to buy?
By itself, the phrase shénme dìtǔ, can be translated simply as what map? In this exchange, it's used to mean what kind of map. The word zhāng is the counter for maps and other flat objects. We don't have to translate yízhāng here with anything more explicit than the indefinite article a. But you may think of it as meaning one sheet.
Zhèzhāng Tàiběi dìtǔ duōshao qián?这张台北地图多少钱 How much is this map of Taipei?
This map is zhèzhāng dìtǔ literally, this sheet map. Notice that in this phrase the counter zhāng has a specifier in front of it instead of a number.

Crescent City High School "Golden Eagles"
Posted on March 2, 2022 March 2, 2022 by kpericht in Uncategorized
The History of Crescent City High School
Crescent City (population 631) is located in upper-eastern Illinois in the center of Iroquois County. Crescent City sits about 20 miles south of Kankakee. U.S. Route 24 intersects with Illnois Route 49 on the city's southwest side. An unnamed creek flows through the west side of town. The Toledo, Peoria, & Western Railroad follows U.S. Route 24 and travels through Crescent City from east to west.
We discovered a nice history of Crescent City on the web address of http://genealogytrails.com/ill/iroquois/Crescent-Iroquois-Townships.htm . In summary the article states as follows:
Crescent City was incorporated in 1885. In 1870 a grade school was established. This frame structure was replaced by a brick structure in 1898. It was not until 1918 that high school curriculum began being offered in Crescent City. That year a two-year course of study began. In 1920 Crescent City High School became a three-year high school. Crescent City High School continued in this manner until 1940 when it was established as a four-year high school. We believe the name of the school was then changed from Crescent City High School to Crescent-Iroquois High School.
In the spring of 2009 the town of Crescent City watched as its last class of high school students graduated from Crescent-Iroquois High School. The grade school in town, however, remains intact.
Crescent City High School Quick Facts
Year opened, 2-year HS: 1918
Year became 3-year HS: 1920
Year became 4-year HS: 1940 (changed name)
Became known as: Crescent-Iroquois School District (Crescent City)
Crescent City HS team nickname: "Golden Eagles"
Crescent City HS team colors: Purple, Gold, and White
School Fight Song: unavailable
Crescent City High School boys definitely competed in basketball (www.ihsa.org). We believe that baseball and track were also part of the CCHS athletic program. Team fight song, records, and coach's names are all items we are currently seeking.
Crescent City High School's boys basketball team had some nice seasons during their existence. We do have some of the coach's names, however we are missing the season records for these and other great CCHS teams.
1930-34 Coach Bert Lester
1937-38 Coach Lloyd Brown
1938-40 Coach Hugo Haberaecker
MEMORIES & FACTS
From Brandon Fellows:
"Crescent-Iroquois High School was know as the Golden Eagles (Girls basketball as the Golden Girls) from the establishment of the school through the 1996-97 school year. In 1997-98, the school began co-operative sports with Cissna Park (when they ceased being the Red Devils also) and became a newly formed team CP-CI "Timberwolves"."

Clemens Wijers is a Dutch composer and musician. He started playing the keyboard from the tender age of 7, followed by eight years of keyboard and music lessons at his local art school. Throughout his teens he accompanied the local youth choirs on keyboard and piano at rehearsals and many live performances. In secondary school he became more interested in symphonic and metal music, and started to combine those two elements in a band.
In 2002, he spent one year studying at the Tilburg Conservatory to refine his skills while continuing to compose music. After several band incarnations, he formed the symphonic black metal band Carach Angren with his friend and former band mate Seregor and his brother Namtar. He writes a large part of the band's music, using classical music as both a foundation and an inspiration. After 4 official album releases and over hundreds of shows worldwide, Carach Angren continues to gather widespread acclaim from international media outlets and an ever-increasing number of dedicated fans.
More recently, Clemens extended his work as a composer to other media, such as film. He completed an intensive one-year training in Music for Media Composition, for which he was awarded the 'Music for Media' certificate. He also completed a training programme in Cinematic Orchestration, a course taught by the famed orchestrator William Boston. He has already composed scores for several short films, corporate videos and other projects and is constantly on the look-out for new, exciting opportunities.
In 2014 Clemens was invited to work on the orchestral arrangements for the band Lindemann, a brand new collaboration between Till Lindemann (Rammstein) and Peter Tägtgren (Pain/Hypocrisy). In May 2015, Lindemann's first single "Praise Abort" was released with a special orchestral remix by Clemens. The full debut album "Skills in Pills" was released in June 2015 and includes Clemens' music and backing vocals on the track "That's My Heart".
Throughout 2016 Clemens kept involved in exciting and prestigious projects. He worked on orchestrations for the album "Coming Home" by Peter Tägtgren's 'Pain' and created the orchestral score for the new album "The Immortal Wars" by Roman metallers 'Ex Deo'.
Carach Angren's new album "Dance And Laugh Amongst The Rotten" has been released in June of 2017 and got raving response from both press and fans. In 2017 Clemens also released his first solo album "Worlds" consisting of hybrid-orchestral & industrial metal music. He signed a publishing deal for some of the tracks on this album and they are currently synched to commercials and films worldwide.
In 2019 Clemens composed two new solo EPs. The first one consisting of orchestral and instrumental tracks and the second one solely dedicated to heavier industrial tracks.
On November 22 the band Lindemann released their second album called "F&M". The album featured a song composed by Clemens called
"Wer weiss das schon". The song was originally composed for the theater play "Hansel & Gretel".

The cakes are cooling while she sleeps and we will ice and decorate them later.
Teaching a 2 year old the joy of licking the batter from the beaters and bowl is an absolute delight!

Congratulations to St Peters Western Swim (SPW) Club members and Head Coach, Dean Boxall, for their outstanding performances at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Under Dean's guidance, four SPW swimmers brought home medals including: Year 12 St Peters student, Ariarne Titmus, who won three gold medals and a silver; Clyde Lewis and St Peters Old Scholar, Jack Cartwright (2015), who won a gold medal each; and Mitch Larkin, who won a stunning five gold medals, making him the most successful athlete of the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
For Ariarne, going into the Games, there was much expectation on her shoulders. Her schedule was gruelling but she saved her best for last, setting a national record to win the 400m freestyle on the last night of competition.
Dean Boxall, who is known for his dedication and passion for getting the most out of his charges, certainly played his part.
"I love building warriors and then watching them go into a fight," he said in a recent interview in The Australian.
"I love looking them in the eyes just before they go to the marshalling room for a race and knowing they are ready. Getting the absolute best out of someone is like an addiction," Dean told Nicole Jeffrey of The Australian as he reflected on his team's Games glory.
St Peters would also like to congratulate Old Scholars and former SPW swim members, Maddie Groves (2012) and Georgia Bohl (2014) for their breakthrough performances at the Games.

DUBUQUE, Iowa — Loras College students continued their long history of success in the Delta Epsilon Sigma (DES) national writing competition this year, earning first, second and honorable mention finishes. For the past 26 years, at least one Loras student has received first, second, or honorable mention in at least one category.
Theresa Collins, a 2016 graduate of Loras of Dubuque, tied for first in the poetry category with "When You Were There." Noelle Henneman, also a 2016 graduate, of Verona, Wisconsin, tied for second place in the short fiction category with "Hold My Hand." Bellevue native and junior Rachel Kilburg placed second in critical/analytical essay for "The People's Politician." Junior Clarice Kies also brought home an honorable mention in Creative Nonfiction for "Country Coyotes." Each work was written while the students were undergraduates during the 2015-2016 school year.
Students submit work each year to Loras College's undergraduate writing publication, "The Limestone Review." Faculty and student readers choose the best work in each category for the Alpha Award. Those winners then go on to compete in the DES writing competition.
Delta Epsilon Sigma was founded in 1938 at Loras College by The Rev. E.A. Fitzgerald as a Catholic honor society. As a result, the college became the first DES chapter in the nation.


There are plenty of ways you can get up high to enjoy stunning views of London - beauty tends to inspire romance, so take advantage of the many ways you can enjoy both the scenery and each other. The Shard is probably the highest you'll get with viewing platforms up to the 72nd floor! Slightly closer to the ground, there's the London Eye, the walkway on Tower Bridge, or go for a drink at the Sky Gardens. If you're looking for something a bit different, and you're both feeling fit, go for a stroll… over the top of the 02!
Greenwich is a great place for a romantic day out? There are lots of places of historic interest to visit, such as the Cutty Sark or the Royal Observatory, and plenty of beautiful parkland to walk in. Greenwich is full of independent restaurants, so it won't matter if you're in the mood for a gourmet meal or pie and mash, you won't break the mood.
For a truly romantic gesture, indulge in the Champagne & Fromage cruise run by our sister company, Thames River Services. The package includes boat travel from Westminster Pier to Greenwich, followed by fizz and a selection of fine cheeses at an artisan restaurant in Greenwich itself.
Every day, thousands of people flock to London to see theatrical shows, musicals and concerts. Check the listings to see what's on when you're planning to visit. Alternatively, if you're watching the budget and don't mind what you see, turn up at the Leicester Square Ticket Booth on the day for discounted last-minute tickets.
There are literally thousands of restaurants in London catering for all tastes and budgets. What better way to end a lovely day than with a lovely meal. If you want to book a table but don't know where to start, check the TripAdvisor reviews for suggestions in your price range. Alternatively, just wander around areas such as Covent Garden, Chinatown, the South Bank and Soho to look for just the right place!

Q: Exactness of Hom functor for torus representations? Given a reductive algebraic group $G$ and a maximal torus $T$. Is it true that the functors
$$
Hom_T(-,\lambda)
$$
are exact, where $\lambda$ denotes one of the the simple one-dimensional representations of $T$? Why is this so? I feel this should be very elementary, but I can't seem to figure it out.

A: Upgrading my comment to an answer to get this off the unanswered list:
The category of rational modules for a torus $T$ is semisimple (regardless of the characteristic), so all modules are projective and injective and thus all functors of the form $\operatorname{Hom}_T(-,M)$ are exact, whatever module $M$ one picks.


The origin of turtles has been a persistent unresolved problem involving unsettled questions in embryology, morphology, and paleontology. New fossil taxa from the early Late Triassic of China (Odontochelys) and the Late Middle Triassic of Germany (Pappochelys) now add to the understanding of (i) the evolutionary origin of the turtle shell, (ii) the ancestral structural pattern of the turtle skull, and (iii) the phylogenetic position of Testudines. As has long been postulated on the basis of molecular data, turtles evolved from diapsid reptiles and are more closely related to extant diapsids than to parareptiles, which had been suggested as stem group by some paleontologists. The turtle cranium with its secondarily closed temporal region represents a derived rather than a primitive condition and the plastron partially evolved through the fusion of gastralia.


"... a return to form of sorts. Happily re-embracing the gusty country rock, he sounds and he writes like Ryan Adams again."
"... much of it feels like real road music: detailed arrangements, built up night after night, that still leave room for finding new details in the moment. So the songs seem tossed off and carefully constructed at the exact same moment ..."
The rambling double set Cold Roses marked the debut of Ryan Adams's backing band The Cardinals, with whom he would record three albums. One of three albums released over a seven month period in 2005, Cold Roses is a return to the alt-country rock style that first made Adams famous.


When first arriving in Kurdistan / Iraq in 2017; colleagues, students, friends and neighbors, and others averred pessimistically that the Islamic State (IS) wouldn't go anywhere soon. Common retorts to my inquiries were "America wants the IS in Iraq," "there is no more Iraq," "there will never be peace in Iraq" were enervating and discouraging. Now in 2018, the Islamic Caliphate is over. The IS de facto capital Mosul, Iraq has fallen, while the IS attempts to make a discreet return in areas like Kirkuk by manipulating the animosity between religions, distrust between nations like Iran and the United States, and the political stalemate between the KRG and Baghdad governments. Now, the there should be more emphasis on repairing the lives of innocent victims and rebuilding the dilapidated infrastructure and institutions of Iraq/Kurdistan. And a tiny yet significant aspect of the preceding pertains to the 3,000 Yazidis and hundreds of Christians from Northern Iraq/ Kurdistan, still missing after the IS kidnappings.
Interviews with people on the ground here indicate an optimistic hope in locating those missing captives, buttressed with a fleeting admission that perhaps a meager portion might already be deceased. Further inquiries upon the preceding dilemma led me to a fellow human-being currently doing miracles to save those missing IS captives. He is called "the Beekeeper" by the humanitarian community, in consequence to his life's occupation. His real name is Abdullah Shrim, and his inspiring story can be further explored in the publication, "The Beekeeper: Rescuing the Stolen Women of Iraq," by author and poet Dunya Mikhail (https://www.amazon.com/Beekeeper-Rescuing-Stolen-Women-Iraq/dp/0811226123). The Beekeeper has amazingly rescued over 300 women from IS captivity, employing his network of informants to locate and extract IS captives in Syria.
A fellow Yazidi humanitarian from Duhok named Zirak Hameed helped to interview the Beekeeper with me. The interview was eye-opening at the least. Not solely in consequence to his exemplary example as a profound humanitarian and activist, but as a means for other humanitarians and activists to learn from his experiences. The topics which the Beekeeper expounded upon included, his most difficult and memorable experiences, recognition to those helping to rescue the IS captives, current tribulations; and a personal message he desired to convey to the public and president of the United States. The Beekeeper's beginning is a monumental testimony to the power of a single human to change the world. After necessity invigorated the Beekeeper to rescue 56 of his own relatives kidnapped by the IS, 32 of which have been rescued, he simply just continued saving prisoners until his record accumulated an accolade of over 300 rescues. He added that his most pertinent determinant in continuing his efforts was not religion, but humanity.
One of the most difficult rescues for the Beekeeper entailed a Yazidi family in Turkey who strenuously traveled several times to the Turkish border, only to be denied by Turkish border authorities each attempt, and consequently returned to their IS captors each time. Each attempt brought a lingering thought of capitulation and surrender to the Beekeeper, feeling the odds of rescuing this group nearly unconquerable. And each frustratingly failed try also aggrandized his suspicions that Turkey was secretly cooperating with the IS, as he stated in our interview, that numerous network sources asserted that though IS captives had difficulty leaving Turkey and escaping captivity, the IS recruits were entering and departing with ease. In one of the many attempts by this one family, they unexpectedly traversed a mass grave which left psychological trauma for constituents of the family. Yet, the Beekeeper persisted in his attempts and formulated a new method. After shadowing the Euphrates River and nearly losing a child to drowning while wading in its waters, this Yazidi family finally escaped the IS to safety in Iraq / Kurdistan.
When asked who the Beekeeper desired to acknowledge for outstanding help, he gratefully mentioned a few organizations and philanthropists. The KRG Prime Minister, Nechiran Barzani, financially aids such rescues regularly. Another was Mercury One, an international Christian humanitarian and education NGO based in Texas. And interestingly, the Beekeeper identified his largest donors as women. He equated his female counter-parts to the importance of a Queen in a bee colony.
The Beekeeper also bluntly highlighted that the Iraqi government in Baghdad and overall international community, has remained silent in rescuing captives of the IS. He also described his current donations as insufficient. The slow trickle of low-cost operations is not keeping a pace with the capriciousness and unpredictability of the IS' movement of prisoners, especially since the IS' caliphate has collapsed. The Beekeeper's operations requires more finances for vehicles, satellites, mobiles, GPS systems, transportation costs, and weapons. The preceding tally doesn't append psychological and physical care needs after a rescue. The Beekeeper also desired military cooperation with his network in extraction operations of the IS' prisoners, after locating them.
The Beekeeper's future operations additionally face a significant challenge since the crisis between the Baghdad (Iraq) and KRG (Kurdistan) governments. In September of 2017, the KRG held their independence referendum against international condemnation. In consequence, the airports of Kurdistan were quickly closed, an economic blockade forcefully imposed, salaries of KRG government employees frozen, and the oil in Kirkuk appropriated by the Baghdad government. The Beekeeper has indicated that this has significantly reduced funding for his operations. He also added that Yazidis residing in Shingal Mountain (Sinjar in English, Shingal is the holy mountain for Yazidis in Northern Iraq/Kurdistan) rebuke the Baghdad government's control of Shingal in consequence to persistent bad treatment.
