Ideraway is a rural town and locality in the North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia. In the , the locality of Ideraway had a population of 38 people.

Geography

The Burnett River forms the south-eastern boundary, while Reid Creek forms the western boundary. The Burnett Highway passes through the south-western corner.

The town is located in the south-east of the locality and most of the housing is within the town. The predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation in the south of the locality with crop growing more in the north of the locality.

History
The town's name was derived from the name of a pastoral run, leased from 1848 by James B. Reid.  Reid acquired the leases of the six stations of sheep country which comprised Ideraway over a period of ten years.  The stations were called Tanjour, Binjour, Branch Creek No. 1, Jonday, Penang, and Nour-Nour.  In 1869 the leases on Penang and Nour-Nour, at the northern end of the run, were excised from Ideraway and sold as the cattle property of Mungy.

In the 1850s and 1860s the run was the scene of several incidents of colonial frontier conflict. Several children from Ideraway Station with Chinese laborer fathers and First Nation mothers were baptised into the Anglican faith in the early 1870s. The Ideraway Homestead has been relocated to Gayndah Museum's historical precinct.

On 18 December 1905 the Queensland Government legislated An Act to Make Provision for the Purchase of the Ideraway Estate, in the Burnett District, for Settlement under "The Agricultural. Lands Purchase Acts, 1894 to 1901." The land was purchased from Mr. James John Cadell. Concurrently, An Act to Provide a Means of Assisting certain Persons to Settle upon the Agricultural Lands of the State was passed. This scheme was different to the earlier failed communal/utopian schemes at nearby Byrnestown, Resolute, and Bon Accord in that land was selected by individuals. The Ideraway Estate scheme was eventually liquidated by the Queensland Agricultural Bank at much loss.

From that time onwards the area became densely infected with the prickly pear . Prior to the release of the cactoblastis cactorum moth in Queensland, arsenic pentoxide was the most effective poison of the plant. P. H. Gerhardt of Ideraway, a prolific inventor, invented the Gerhardt Injector, for injection of the poison. The moth was liberated into the field in 1926, and between then and 1939 butter production in the Gayndah district increased five-fold. Cream from Ideraway was sent to the Maryborough butter factory, and then to the Gayndah butter factory when it opened in 1911, and the district was well-known for its butter production in the 1930s.

The Mungar Junction to Monto railway line opened between Wetheron and Gayndah on 16 December 1907 with the town being served by the Ideraway railway station (). Increasing competition from road freight resulted in railway services on the line being reduced over the years. In 2015 the Queensland Government decided it no longer wanted to maintain the railway and in 2017 the tracks were removed and the stations abandoned.

Ideraway State School opened in 1909 and closed circa 1952. It was on the south-east corner of Tanjour Street and Bonny Street ().

Ideraway Post Office opened by December 1909 (a receiving office had been open from 1908) and closed in 1957.

At the 2011 census, Ideraway had a population of 225.

In the , the locality of Ideraway had a population of 38 people.

This month's Book of the Month, The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton, is an interesting tribute to Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden while serving as an intriguing mystery and personal history on its own.
At Nell's joyous 21st birthday party her world falls apart when her father tells her she was adopted as a 4-year-old in 1913, seemingly abandoned on an Australian wharf and unable to remember her name. The knowledge shatters her self-image and changes the course of her life.
In 1975, the only surviving clues to Nell's past are given to her after her father's death; the memories they trigger lead her to travel to England to unravel the puzzle, part of which is connected to the author of a rare fairytale book in her possession. She discovers her true identity despite having been thought dead for more than 60 years, and finds her way to Tregenna, and Blackhurst Manor, on the coast of Cornwall.
However, her plans to complete the quest are interrupted when her granddaughter Cassandra comes to stay "temporarily," a stay that becomes permanent. In the end it is Cassandra, haunted by her own griefs, who in 2005 follows in Nell's footsteps to finish the journey of discovery and fit together all the missing pieces.
It's a remarkable tale, with Nell and Cassandra's stories and personalities coming through wonderfully. The novel is skilfully written and quite engaging. It's very easy to get sucked into the story, though there are phases when it feels a bit like a chore. Get through those, though, and it's easy to keep going. I loved The Secret Garden as a kid, and the homage to that was something I enjoyed about this book. The locales in Australia and England are well detailed, though I'd love something I could immerse myself in a bit more.
This book has been well appreciated by critics and readers alike, and it's not hard to see why. Not perfect, but it's quite engaging and something I'd suggest reading.

Facing Failure
We all have some fear when it comes to sharing our failures but what if facing our failure leaves space for others to be vulnerable? In this episode, Speak's VPs talk all about their failures, how they navigate what to share with their teams, and how they create learning opportunities from challenging moments.
Facing Failure | A Little Off Topic by Speak Creative
David: Hello everyone and thank you for joining us. Once again, you are listening to A Little Off Topic, on agency's water cooler chat on digital marketing, business, and all the things that get in the way, presented by Speak Creative. Today, we are straying away from our usual subjects like websites, apps, and digital marketing to talk about failure. That's right. We're going to be letting our guard down a bit today by talking through some times that didn't exactly go our way. My name is David Caffey. I'm Speak's Digital Marketing Manager and the host of A Little Off Topic. Joining me this week and every week is Speak's VP leadership team. Kindra Svendsen is VP of Client Partnerships. In addition, we have the two Matts. First is Matt Roberts, VP of Marketing and Sales, and last but not least, we have Matt Ervin VP of Creative Services.
David: So you may be asking yourself, why talk about failure? Well, that is a great question. At Speak, we try our best to value people and relationships over profit, and more often than not that involves accepting and learning from each other's missteps. We'll start off today by talking about why vulnerability can be tough and why it's in our nature to not share our failures. We'll go down the line and share some failures that made us who we are today and finally, we'll talk about some not so great moments that ended up turning out for the best. So something a bit different for you today, but I know you guys will enjoy it as always. We thank you for taking the time to listen to our show today, and I hope you enjoy today's episode of A Little Off Topic.
David: We're back today talking about failure. Our biggest failures. Everything failure related is what we're covering today. My first question for the group. Let's start by talking through why is it so hard for us humans to share our failures with people?
Ervin: Pride. Failure is not fun. It's not something that we're like "Hey, check it out! I failed. Guess what guys?" So pride is probably the number one reason that most people wouldn't be very open about failure.
Kindra: We have to admit that we're not always the hero if we fail and so it's hard to admit that we need help, which is definitely pride.
Ervin: If we learned anything from Spiderman: Into The Spider Verse, though, heroes can fail and still be heroes.
Roberts: Oh, such a good movie. Man. So good. Nothing super unique from what you two have shared, but it's hard to be vulnerable and I don't know that we have to sit ourselves down on the couch and get into psychoanalysis, but there's a lot that goes into that and it's not just failures that are hard to share. It's easy to be impersonal. Especially in a workplace, it's easy to just keep your head down and keep a posture hidden under the cloak of professionalism by not exchanging ideas or talking about our failures or be vulnerable with our teammates about the fears and concerns that we have. It goes to pride and just general human nature that we want to do everything we can to be the hero of our stories, like Kindra said. Failure doesn't feel like a big part of that, which I'm sure we'll get to later in the podcast. It certainly can. But it definitely is something you have to embrace.
David: So you made a point there of embracing your failures and obviously we've just established it's pretty tough to share those, but why is it so important to embrace your failures and be transparent with others when you experienced a setback or a failure?
Roberts: There are a couple of things that make it important and one is if we're in a workplace and we can vocalize a failure, it gives everybody who is a part of that team the ability to learn from the failure and to benefit from your mistake. Just a side note on that is that you obviously have to have a culture that puts failure in perspective where it's safe to communicate failure and understand that, "Hey it happens, it's human nature. We're all gonna fail at some point. So let's not be afraid to share those places where we have failed." Obviously if you're scared of losing your job or getting you know some kind of punishment for failing and obviously those are the things that keep you from sharing. The second part of why kind of it's important to share failure is... Oh, gosh, you're gonna have to cut this. It fell right out of my head.
Ervin: It failed to materialize.
Kindra: What a fail.
Roberts: Oh my gosh. It fell right out of my head. I had a really good point too. I'm going to come back to it. The easy one was that people get to learn.
David: Don't you think that leading it in would be a good teaching moment to accept our failures and move on?
Kindra: Let's be transparent here.
Roberts: Well, hopefully that'll come back to me, but I'm going to let one of you guys talk now.
Ervin: Recently my oldest kid has changed schools and changed learning styles. He went from a Montessori school to a public school here in Williamson County, Tennessee and he'd never really received grades before. It was always just assessments. So he started getting grades and they weren't good and it was just because he didn't know what he was doing. But man, he took it hard. He was down on himself because he failed. He kept saying, "I'm not doing good. I'm failing, I can't do this." The thing that my wife, who is a lot smarter than I am, did was say, "well, you remember who invented the light bulb?" And he said, "Well yeah. Thomas Edison." She said, "Well, one of his friends went to him and said, 'Hey, isn't it a shame that you don't have any results with the amount of work you've done?' and Edison said something like 'I've gotten lots of results. What are you talking about? I know several thousand things that won't work.' So what we tried to help my son understand is that you've tried these things and they don't work, so you've got to try something else. Failure produces a load of data. If you're willing to analyze it, you can prevent future failures. You can figure out where you went wrong. There's all kinds of benefits from it if you can get past the pride aspect, like with him, where he had to get past the aspect of feeling bad for himself and thinking he was probably going to be in a lot of trouble, to thinking he's just got to do things differently and apply some critical thought.
Kindra: That's a good lesson. I like that. I just learned something today.
Ervin: You should hang around my wife, she's real smart.
Kindra: Being transparent in our failures is, not to sound too cheesy, but it's what makes us human. If we walk around like these perfect little robots that never make mistakes, we don't really have connection. It's through the failures and through the transparency of still figuring it out that we make a connection. So that's applicable in any kind of relationship, business or personal. But that humility is what allows us to connect with other people and if we don't fail, then we don't really have that.
Roberts: Yeah. That ability to be transparent and to be vulnerable to give somebody the opportunity to do anything other than praise you is hard. It's the hard part of humanity and relationships of being vulnerable. I did finally think of the second thing that I wanted to share about failure. Ervin sharing about his son made me think about what we say to our oldest daughter all the time, which is "what's the worst that could happen?" Then we ask her to actually answer the question. What happens if you do fail this test? Or what happens if this doesn't go the way that you want it to? Let's play out this scenario and talk. Failure doesn't happen in isolation. If you're in a company, you've got a group of people around you who, hopefully, will support you and help you correct whatever failure it was that happened. Obviously in our family we support each other and so even if we fail, it's not a bad thing. Even if there's consequences, let's talk through like what those consequences are. It wouldn't be the worst thing ever. It's true in any context. We can kind of really put a lot of pressure on ourselves to succeed and we don't really think through like what the worst case scenario is here. It's not that big a deal.
Ervin: We ask my son Whitt the same thing. What's the worst thing that could happen? He hasn't even thought that far. All he has thought is "Dang it, I failed." I was actually thinking as you were talking too, we've talked about imposter syndrome and I would say that being comfortable admitting your failures is probably like one of the first big steps in getting past imposter syndrome. But it has to be accompanied with realizing you failed, and this is what you learned, and this is how I'm going to do it better. But that's a big key in defeating that.
David: So since you all are VPs and Managers and leaders at Speak, and I'm sure in some forms in your personal lives. With those that you manage or lead, do you feel like there's a line you have to walk, showing just enough vulnerability or your failures? Or is there a line you can cross where you're showing too much and you need to rein it back in? If that makes sense.
Kindra: I feel the pressure to not show my failures. I think we would all be lying if we said we didn't feel that pressure in some capacity to put the cloak on and act like we've got it. But I have found time and time again, that when I allow space to say I'm not the expert here or you're the expert you tell me or show me that vulnerability, I actually build more trust in those situations. So that while the nature part of us is to act like we've got it all together and lead with this great gusto, those times of vulnerability build the connection and build up that trust.
Roberts: There's a tremendous freedom in being able to say "you are better at this than I am." It's not easy to do. But it is extraordinarily freeing, because you don't feel like you have to pretend that you're something that you're not. None of us can be subject matter experts in everything that we oversee, whether that's big or small departments or whatever, there's just enough going on where there's somebody who is better at it than you. As a leader, why would I not want that? Why would I try to pretend or try to compete with that? It's just unproductive.
Kindra: Going back to what Matt said about imposter syndrome, I think imposter syndrome tells us you have to have the answer to not fail. But being able to say "I don't have that answer, but that's okay because I know who does" is really freeing once you realize that the right answer is to say it's not you that has the right answer.
Ervin: The question is interesting about where the line is and I probably air too far to the transparency side of things. But part of the reason is that as a leader, you are basically attempting to put yourself on a pedestal, saying "look how great I am" whether or not you've admitted that to yourself is another question. But when you do that, and you're not willing to let people see your humanity and your human errors, then people under you feel like they have to do the same. So what that ends up creating is what I would call like a "gotcha culture" where instead of recognizing there's a problem, let's work together and figure out a solution. The immediate knee jerk reaction is "Hey, there's a problem. Whose fault is it? because we gotta get them and it wasn't my fault." I've seen that and it's very detrimental.
Roberts: That's a great point.
Kindra: I've had jobs where I've made tiny mistakes and had that blame come down from management, so then I was walking on eggshells doing everything because I was certain I was going to make another mistake. Then I've had other jobs where I've made a costly mistake and when that was met with "let's find a solution" instead of "why?" Or "you're at fault" and the amount of grace extended there was transformative in how I felt about my own work. I knew that it was a mistake and not par for the course and that I could course correct and everything would be fine. The contrast between those two jobs or those two mistakes is enough to tell me everything I need to know as a manager on how to handle when someone brings a failure to you, because it really made me feel two very different ways.
Ervin: And how much harder were you willing to work for the person who showed you grace?
Kindra: Absolutely and I didn't make the mistake again. I wasn't afraid of making a mistake and so I wasn't walking on eggshells or cutting corners or missing things out of fear, which was certainly helpful.
Roberts: Continuing the conversation from what happens when we ourselves fail and how willing are we to share it, to how do you help manage failure for somebody on your team? That's pretty strongly embedded in our culture to pick whoever it is up and help them normalize saying, "Hey, this happens and let's put together a plan for helping you succeed next time." That stuff sticks. Otherwise it's just like Matt was saying a second ago, if you fail and then as leadership, we come crashing down on somebody, that just reinforces the idea that they want to hide the failure. Because everyone's going to continue to have failures in what they do and the last thing that we need is for that to be hidden from us. It has a potentially catastrophic knock on effects if that's the culture that you end up developing, because the failure stays hidden to a point where it can't be hidden anymore and it's at a much worse place by the time the team can rally and try to fix something. The other thing that we get caught up in that's worth noting is that sometimes our human reaction is to say "why?!" or "what were you thinking?" and none of that is productive. I'm sure you all know that, but we can't go back in time and change somebody's decision and so as long as the person is understanding of how the situation was created and how they might approach it again in the future, that's all that's needed. You don't have to come down on somebody or berate them just because that feels good to you.
Ervin: When you ask that question, "why would you do that?" You're implying the answer is "because you're a moron" right? Like "I'm stupid. That's why I did it that way." One of the ways I try to look at it is how the greatest batter in the history of major league baseball was Ted Williams, right? He's the only person who's ever hit over 400 in a qualified season ever. He hit 406. That means at bat, he was on base less than half the time. He got hit less than half the time. So he's a professional.
Roberts: You know who the greatest hockey player is?
Ervin: Wait a minute.
Ervin: What?
Roberts: You miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take. See he was a man that was comfortable with failure.
Ervin: That's right, because he missed a lot of shots.
Kindra: There's a parable that I heard probably in youth group, but it stuck with me for years and years. There's this little boy who was always told not to touch the stove because it was hot and didn't want to listen to his parents and touch the stove and burned his hand. A few hours later was walking around with his fist all balled up and was so afraid of telling his dad that he had touched the stove and what he had actually done was singed his skin and then made it stick to itself. Because he was afraid to admit that he did something wrong. So the story goes that, we need to have truth in our hearts and all that, but it's really applicable. It's a story that stuck with me forever because if you hide the failure for so long, it just compounds and makes the situation so much worse. Whereas if you can admit your failures, there's a lot of movement in that and you can get past things a little bit quicker.
Ervin: I think there was a "House" episode about that.
David: So the moment of truth is here. My next question is if you're willing to share with the class a failure that was notable that you derive some meaning and learned something from and feel as though others can learn from it as well, please share with us at this time.
Roberts: Certainly I've had many, many failures all along the way, but probably the first big failure that I really remember here at Speak was when I was less than a year into working here. I proposed a project for a church client that had very clearly articulated exactly what they wanted. I had written everything into the proposal exactly the way they wanted it, but I had some fundamental mental rounding error or something and I just completely goofed. I don't remember how much it was, but let's just say let's just say it was a $15,000 project. It should have been something like a $50,000 or $60,000 project and I got it in, we got him started and then in the discovery process very early on the team came back to me and was like "Um...what now?" and I just remember physically sweating and going into Jacob's office and apologizing. I said, "I cannot believe I did this. The client is absolutely right. This is exactly what I told them. This is exactly what I sold them. I just completely screwed up." It was the first of many instances of exactly what Kindra was saying where someone says, "Hey, let's try not to make this type of mistake again and let's do what we said we'd do. Let's learn from the mistake you've made and let's carry forward." So the team ended up doing a great job. The client actually ended up working with us for something like 8 or 10 years on multiple projects. That's kind of an easy one to point to because it was a long time ago and the scars have healed over and I don't feel super vulnerable sharing it, but that's maybe a good place to start.
Ervin: Maybe they were hoping you'd give them another 400% discount.
Roberts: Maybe so. Every time. "Oh this guy is so gullible."
Kindra: My adrenaline is pumping because I know that feeling where your heart jumps out of your mouth. That feeling is the one I wish to avoid the rest of my life.
Roberts: Oh man. It's a huge deal and it just hits you all at once. Like, Oh, I just made a huge mistake.
Kindra: I had a similar one in my early days of social media marketing where a client had something like $300 for the month of their small campaign, and I set the budget at $300 a day and noticed it on day 2 or 3. So they had spent nearly a thousand dollars out of their $300 budget and that was a big lesson. Because, you know, for a small business, that was a really big 'uh oh' so that was a good lesson in humility. Never made the mistake again. Knock on wood.
Ervin: I have a lot. There's one time I tried to make chili and put chocolate in it, because I've been reading about that. You could put chocolate in chili and it would make it really good. So what I learned from that one was if something that sounds dumb, you probably just shouldn't try.
Kindra: But it was on the internet I assume.
Ervin: It was a famous person that had suggested it and I've stopped trusting that person.
Kindra: Wow, hold on. Roberts and I just bared our soul and you come to us with a chili example.
Roberts: "Aw, I put chocolate in chili."
Ervin: First of all. My wife still brings it up. My kids bring it up and they weren't even alive.
Kindra: I fail at dinner a couple of times a month if that's what we want to talk about.
Roberts: I was about to say, that feels like a different order of magnitude.
Ervin: That was my warmup. Call it flavor text, come on guys. Do you not listen to podcasts? The most glaring example I've got was during a walkabout when I was not at Speak. I was working for a company and we had landed a multimillion dollar project for a very large international manufacturer. The project was to help them go through what is still a pretty popular buzzword. But at the time it was a very popular buzzword called "digital transformation" and what happened was the CMO, Chief Marketing Officer, hired us and then forced us on IT and said "Hey, you're going to work with these guys." From the start, we were definitely destined to fail and for whatever reason, I didn't know that part before I did this, but for whatever reason, I went to the owners of the company and said, "Hey, I want this. You guys should give me this" and it was going to open a new office. It was a big deal. I was like, "let me do it. I can do it." For whatever reason, they thought I could and from the time that I really got started in it until a year and a half later when I left, I offboarded myself from that project and that company. It was a tremendous lesson in how projects fail, but it was also a tremendous lesson in how leadership can fail a project. So what we saw was that first of all, this particular company had a culture of a "gotcha culture." This is where I learned about that. It formed my opinions, because as soon as something went wrong, everybody was like, "okay, who do we get to bury now?" Like I'm digging the hole, find whoever needs to go in it. It meant that nothing was ever productive and that everybody's first order of business in a meeting was to cover their back side. That's what they were primarily there to do. So my reaction to that was to follow suit. After I learned what was going on and realized that I was probably going to be the sacrificial lamb a lot and it turns out that was true. That's what I started doing and six months later, the thing was an entire mess. The whole project was an entire mess. We weren't ever going to get it done and that was because one of the chief executives wanted to do it his way and everybody underneath him hated us and hated the Chief Marketing Officer. So the project had some successes. We actually did make a lot of progress in some areas for this company. But overall, the multimillion dollar project was definitely a failure. That experience for me taught me more than I have learned in the prior 10 years. It was a hard one hard won lesson. I missed a lot of life as a result of that. I gained a lot of weight as a result of that. It was very difficult, but the things that I was able to learn from where I had definitely screwed up and then where I had watched other people above me and beside me and below me also mess up informed a lot of what I do and a lot of how I understand myself and what's going on around me today. Definitely not a crown jewel for me to say "the biggest project you've ever worked on didn't go well" and in fact would probably be considered a failure, but at the same time I'm walking out of that saying, "Man. I learned a whole lot of really valuable lessons in a very short amount of time."
Roberts: I'm glad you shared that because I wrote this for a piece that was published somewhere else a few weeks ago. I've been there many times, not in your shoes, but just in the idea that this one big contract that we could lock down would make a huge difference for us and so let's make it happen. If you were probably to trace back failures that I have precipitated on our company on projects that weren't a good fit, from clients that were difficult to work with or whatever, that's a hard thing to shake. But it is one of those things that I hope in the past several years has been instilled in our sales culture is "Hey, if the big fish has great people and the project is in our wheelhouse, that's fantastic. Let's go after those opportunities. If they're not, and the job isn't, let's just let it pass." It's okay for somebody else to get that job. We feel okay with that, but we had to learn that lesson collectively as a group because of the failures that frankly we've made kind of onboarding folks who weren't a good fit.
Kindra: Well, it occurs to me hearing both of you talk about just being in different kinds of cultures, that a culture of failure impacts everyone. So Ervin, you are talking about being in a culture where everyone's worried about covering their own and people feel that. There aren't good relationships. Everyone is stressed at home. Home life is not great. It really trickles down into things that you would never think would be impacted if there's a culture of failure. Same thing Roberts with what you were saying about if a salesperson is just worried about the dollar amount on the contract and the whole team suffers for that oversight. But when the sales team digs in and knows it's a great fit, that also is amplified throughout the rest of the team. Everything trickles out in some way. Even with our failures, if we don't overcome them or work through them, they have an impact on so many people.
Roberts: Would you call it seepage?
Kindra: Nope. Not even a little.
David: Well, now that we've gone through that, we will close today. On the flip side, is there a failure that makes you laugh and turned out for the best? There are some failures we just talked about that turned out from the best, but didn't make you laugh. I guess we got the chocolate chili thing, we got that covered. But Kindra, Matt, anything else?
Roberts: I'm sure I have something, but it's not coming to mind. Kindra, I feel like you've got something teed up.
Kindra: No, nothing. It's just a blank canvas in there. There are probably a lot more things that I didn't consider to be a failure in the moment, but looking back, I'm like, "Oh man, wow, should have done that differently." Going back to early days of social media, I would love to forget all of the campaign ideas I had back then. You miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take.
Roberts: Okay. I'm actually glad you shared that.
Ervin: Because this is your favorite quote.
Roberts: It is. Well, it is my favorite quote. Absolutely. I've got this accessory on the wall next to me. Recently, like just over the past couple of weeks have been digging through the Speak blog archive.
Kindra: No.
Roberts: When we were when we migrated our last implementation into our latest iteration of the website, something duplicated like really old blog entries from 2009 to maybe 2011.
Ervin: I didn't do that. I don't know who did that.
Roberts: Certainly not your failure. But anyway, I've been cleaning those up, trying to get rid of the duplicates. They've been sitting around for a long time, it would need to be cleaned up and I just was like, "alright, well, this is the thing I can do when I've got 15 minutes between meetings that's easy to do." But as part of that, I've been forced to reread some of the things that I wrote.
Kindra: I've read some of those blogs.
Roberts: Oh man. Y'all first of all, I'm embarrassed to see how many times the word stoked is used in individual blog entries and then also consistently 6 or 7 blogs in a row. Like there's, there's at least one use of "stoked."
Kindra: What was the correlation to your hairdo at the time? Did you have the frat boy flip?
Roberts: I had the messy thing going on. But no that's been funny to go back and read. I was reading something last week that was all about how something that Microsoft or Google or somebody was doing was going to change the internet. Of course it didn't. So that's easy to kind of look back on and laugh at and just say, "Oh wow. You know, a lot less than you think you do." But I'm sure I'll look back in 5 or 10 years at these podcasts and be like, "man, I can't believe I said that."
Ervin: Right. There's a statute of limitations on things that I've said. If it's more than a year old, I can't really stand by it anymore.
Kindra: That's true. I feel that way.
Ervin: I think about the time that I was doing some yard work at my house in Memphis in Cordova and we were trying to get rid of these big bushes that they planted way too close to the house and grew way too big. There's this one holly bush in particular that I knew we had to get out of there. Instead of being a smart person and just cutting it off at the bottom and leaving the stump in the ground, I was like, "no, the whole thing's got to come out." So my dad was helping me and I said," we know what we need to do. We'll just tap the back of my Jeep and I'll pull it out."
Roberts: You've got a little Mississippi right there when you said that.
Ervin: Yeah, that was on purpose. So after about a solid hour of rigging and re rigging, and probably some horrible ideas, we got to the final setup. So I'm sitting in my Jeep tugging on this massive holly bush, there's no way it's coming out of the ground, no way. All of a sudden our rig breaks, the giant hook that was on the tree end of it comes flying up and busts through the back windshield of my Jeep and hits the headrest on the back of my chair. So had I not had a head rest, I probably would have died. But after it was all over, we laughed about it. So there you go.
Roberts: We're laughing at you now.
Ervin: The wife still references that too, if you can imagine. Remember when you tied that to your jeep? Don't do that again.
Roberts: I really wish that we had that on video.
Ervin: No, sorry.
Kindra: Do we have a picture of the holly bush for the show notes is the question?
Ervin: We could probably dig one up.
Roberts: Oh, I see what you did there.
Kindra: Dig one up? Aye!
Ervin: That's a failure. We'll look back on this and laugh.
Roberts: David, anything you would like for us to laugh at?
David: I have led a perfect flawless life, moment to moment. Nothing has ever gotten past me. On that note, we'll end with that.
Roberts: No, it is funny though, because for listeners who don't know this, we're all on zoom together and we can see each other's faces, but the whole time that Matt was sharing about his previous work experience, I see David just grinning maniacally, because he knows exactly what's going on.
David: I was just saying, can you imagine if you like you graduated college and then on Monday after you graduated, you started in an environment like that and then that's what your whole foundation for how work and how office environments are supposed to work?
Ervin: Yeah, sorry about that.
David: I was on the sidelines too, so this is to your point that it trickles down through everywhere. I was on the sidelines of that, I wasn't involved with any of that at all, but I still felt it. Like I could still feel the energy and I still took it home with me and that was a whole thing. That's my one addition.
Kindra: I feel like for the show, we should also preface that it's not Speak, right?
Roberts: Right. This is when they overlapped somewhere else.
Ervin: I doubt the owners of that company are listening to our podcast, but if they are, you guys taught me a lot. You really did. Like really, really did. I'll admit it. Oh man, some of the stuff I learned from them is foundational.
Kindra: Is this where we get to talk to former bosses? Because I have some things to say. Is that another episode?
David: I'd like to talk to the manager of Malco that wouldn't give me a movie pass the week I quit. Like, what, who cares? Who cares if it's the week I'm quitting? I want to go see the Get Smart movie with Steve Carell. It was going to be great.
David: Well that is it for today. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Once again, I want to thank our VP panel for being willing to open up and share some wisdom with us on the show today.

HomeAuthorsJeff RainforthBorder Patrol Arrests Cartel Drug Smugglers Using Children As Diversions – 225 LBS Of Meth Seized
Jeff Rainforth Jeff Rainforth, Mexico, Video 0
It's disturbing the lengths that cartels will go to to get these poisons into our country. We know the cartels are ruthless, murderous organizations, but endangering children to get hardcore drugs across the border is low even for them. When I was in New Mexico covering the construction of Airman Brian Kolfage's first section of border wall, we encountered many drug paths, and the cartels would regularly send scouts to see what we were doing. I included a video I shot of one cartel drug path we came across at the end of this article. Our wall cut off the paths, but cartels also send smugglers through ports of entry like in the instances below. Children as young as six were used as diversions.
CBP is reporting:
"PINE VALLEY, Calif. — U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a woman yesterday at the Interstate 8 checkpoint who had 160 packages of methamphetamine hidden inside her SUV. The woman also had her two minor children in the car, which is a repeat of a smuggling incident that occurred on Tuesday.
The incident began on Wednesday, October 2, at around 6:30 p.m., when a woman driving a silver Nissan Murano approached the checkpoint. A Border Patrol K-9 team performed a sniff of the vehicle, which resulted in an alert. The agent sent the woman to secondary inspection for further examination.
In secondary, a K-9 performed a second sniff of the vehicle and alerted to the driver's door and passenger-side rear-cargo area. Agents searched and discovered plastic-wrapped bundles concealed in the rear cargo area, rear bumper, center console, and all four doors. Agents also retrieved bundles inside the SUV's spare tire. A total of 160 bundles of meth were recovered, which weighed 157.54 pounds and had an estimated street value of $362,342.
The driver, a 32-year-old U.S. citizen, was placed under arrest. The narcotics were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration and the vehicle was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol. The two minor children, aged 12 and 13, were released to family members.
"This is the second event this week where drug smugglers used children as a diversion," said San Diego Sector Chief Patrol Agent Douglas Harrison. "I am proud of our agents' dedication. They diligently safeguard children from being used as decoys to benefit transnational criminal organizations.""

The day before Border Patrol intercepted that shipment of drugs, they made another bust in the same area. A six-year-old child was used by the smuggler as a diversion.
"U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a woman at the Interstate 8 checkpoint who had methamphetamine hidden inside her SUV with a child in her car on Tuesday.
At approximately 9 p.m., on Oct. 1, 2019, a woman and her 6-year-old son arrived at the I-8 checkpoint in a 1999 Ford Expedition. Agents referred the driver to secondary inspection for further examination. Once there, a K-9 alerted to the rear door of the SUV.
Searching the vehicle, agents found several plastic-wrapped packages inside the left and right side rear-door panels. Agents also noticed the rear spare tire had abnormalities and discovered packages were inside. At the end of their search, the agents retrieved a total of 65 bundles of crystal meth. The bundles weighed 67.68 pounds and have an estimated street value of $179,352.
The driver, a 25-year-old Mexican national, was arrested and her child was placed with Child Protective Services. The narcotics were turned over to officials at the San Diego County Sheriff's Department and the vehicle was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol.
"I am very proud of the dedication displayed by these agents," said San Diego Chief Patrol Agent Douglas Harrison. "They are committed to keeping dangerous narcotics from reaching our communities and protecting innocent children from being used as pawns by criminal organizations.""
When I was covering the construction of our border wall, I spoke with several Border Patrol agents. They told me how the cartels would send groups of immigrants, often with children, to attempt to cross the border. They would cross in areas where they knew they would be caught. While Border Patrol agents were busy with them, cartel scouts would alert drug smugglers to cross in another area. The migrants were used by the cartels as diversions to get narcotics into our country undetected.
Here's a short video I shot of a cartel drug smuggling path when we first started construction on our border wall in Sunland Park, New Mexico.
Below is a shot I took of the path the drug smugglers would use after they illegally entered the U.S.
This is a shot of the same path from the bottom.
Of course, our wall cut that path off and there have been zero reported crossings in that area since we completed construction. It's estimated 33,000 illegal crossings & millions of dollars in drugs have been stopped since we finished that section of the wall. Here's a photo I took as we placed the final section of wall. It's the exact spot the drug path was in.
We obviously need more wall to stop the flow of drugs & illegal immigrants from getting into our country, yet at the same time, we need more Border Patrol agents to man the ports of entry & to fill in the gaps where there are no border barriers yet.

Q: pg8000 copy from CSV I'm using pg8000 on an App Engine flask application so that I can be able to process a CSV file and insert it into a PSQL instance (hosted on AZURE).
Why am I using pg8000 and not psycopg2? -> Because app engine doesn't support psycopg2.
So far, the docs of pg8000 don't state a function that will do this like the one psycopg2 has. I haven't found an example that achieves this on SO or any other place, including the docs.
Anyone knows if this is possible?

A: Looking at the source code, there does not seem to be a way to directly import CSVs, nor does the code appear to have any built-in wrapper around INSERT queries, making it possible to
You do have the option of manually using a CSV reader and using executemany:
import csv
import pg8000

conn = pg8000.connect(user="postgres", password="C.P.Snow")
cursor = conn.cursor()

command = 'INSERT INTO book (title) VALUES (%s), (%s) RETURNING id, title'
with open('my-data.csv', 'rb') as fl:
    data = list(csv.reader(fl))
    conn.executemany(command, data)

As a word of caution, depending on the size of your data, it may be better to use islice:
with open('my-data.csv', 'rb') as fl:
    reader = csv.reader(fl)
    slice = itertool.islice(reader, 100)
    while slice:
        conn.executemany(command, slice)
        slice = itertool.islice(reader, 100)

A: As suggested in another question here, you could use the next method before applying the logic on the csv files and before using the csv read method.
Sorry in advance for not inserting as a complement to the previous answer, but I don't have enough points to do so.
I'm having the same issue and I solved the problem using the below. Please notice that for me, the correct way of executing many is on cursor object, not on the conn.
conn = pg8000.connect(user='username', password='password', host='host', port=5432, database='database name')
cursor = conn.cursor()

command = "INSERT INTO public.salesforce_accounts (field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, field6) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)"
with open('test.csv', 'r') as file:
    next(file)
    data = list(csv.reader(file))
    cursor.executemany(command, data)

Two Spider-Man Spinoff Movies Announced: Venom and Sinister Six
Graeme McMillan
Peter Parker has more trouble in his cinematic future than he may have expected, with Sony announcing two new villain-centric spin-offs for the franchise.
Image: Marvel Comics
Ahead of next year's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony has revealed plans for two spin-off movies in addition to the already-announced Amazing Spider-Man 3 and Amazing Spider-Man 4 -- one where the bad guys get the spotlight.
The newly announced films are Venom -- written by Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures co-creator Ed Solomon and Star Trek writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who are already signed to script Amazing Spider-Man 3 -- and The Sinister Six, which will be written by Cabin in the Woods co-writer and director Drew Goddard. Goddard, Solomon, Kurtzman and Orci will act as the official Spider-Man "brain trust" overseeing the production of the films.
While Venom, an alien parasite obsessed with Spider-Man who debuted in the comics during the mid-1980s, already appeared in Sam Raimi's 2007 movie Spider-Man 3, the Sinister Six is a relatively new concept for movie fans: a team of bad guys, united by their hatred for a particular superhero.
In a statement accompanying the news, Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad described the Spider-Man franchise as "one of our studio's greatest assets," and said that the studio is "thrilled with the creative team we have assembled to delve more deeply into the world that Marc [Webb, director], Avi [Arad, executive producer] and Matt [Tolmach] have begun to explore in The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2."
The news, announced via Sony's Electro Arrives promotional website for ASM2, confirms rumors that the studio would attempt to build out the Spider-franchise into a larger universe of movies, a la Marvel Studio's Avengers and related efforts. It also means that Goddard will be pulling double duty between superhero franchises, juggling Sinister Six with his work on Marvel's Daredevil series, due to debut on Netflix in 2015.
No release dates were given for either Venom or Sinister Six, but it's not unlikely that Sony will intend to release them in "off-years" between the already scheduled Amazing Spider-Man 2 (to be released on May 2, 2014), Amazing Spider-Man 3 (June 10, 2016) and Amazing Spider-Man 4 (May 4, 2018).

Diabetes mellitus, or diabetes, is a group of diseases characterized by high blood sugar. This can be the result of inadequate insulin production from the pancreas or a lack of bodily response to insulin that is produced. The American Diabetes Association states that approximately 25 million Americans suffered from diabetes in 2011. If improperly treated or untreated, diabetes can turn fatal.
If improperly treated, diabetes sufferers can face many long-term complications. These complications become most evident 10 to 20 years after the onset of diabetes. In 2007, the American Diabetes Association reported that diabetes contributed to more than 200,000 deaths in the United States. Diabetes is also the leading cause of new blindness among 20 to 74-year-old adults.
Type 1 diabetes is caused by the body's inability to produce insulin. Type 1 diabetes sufferers typically require insulin injections or an insulin pump to ensure adequate insulin levels. There are currently no known preventative measures against type 1 diabetes. Most people with the disease have a healthy weight with no major health conditions. It is often referred to as "juvenile diabetes" as it is commonly seen in children.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type if diabetes. It is characterized by the resistance to insulin by liver, fat, and muscle cells. The body's cells cannot properly utilize insulin, which results in hyperglycemia, orthe excessive buildup of sugar in the blood. A majority of type 2 diabetes cases occur in overweight people. The more body fat present, the harder it is for insulin to be used correctly.
This type of diabetes occurs in pregnant women who did not have a previous diabetic condition. It occurs in roughly 2% to 5% of pregnancies and typically resolves itself after pregnancy. However, in 20% 50% of cases, it is a precursor to type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes should be carefully monitored throughout a pregnancy, as improperly treated or untreated conditions can have damaging effects on both the mother and fetus.
While diabetes is a chronic disease which usually cannot be cured, health complications can be greatly reduced with strict maintenance. It is recommended to keep blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible while avoiding hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. This is typically achieved through customized exercise, a special diabetic diet, and appropriate medications. In type 2 diabetes, weight reduction is implemented if needed.

International / 12 killed, six wounded after mass shooting incident in Virginia
12 killed, six wounded after mass shooting incident in Virginia
Twitter Photo: Virginia Mass Shooting
A disgruntled veteran public utilities employee stormed a government building in the US State of Virginia and fired indiscriminately on multiple floors at his co-workers, killing at least 12 people and wounding six others, police said on Saturday, in the latest incident of the mass shooting in the country.
The gunman was killed when police responded to the shooting in the southeastern coastal city of Virginia Beach.
The suspect, a long-term and current Virginia Beach city employee, fired "indiscriminately" on multiple floors in a public utility building, the police said.
Police Chief James Cervera told reporters there was an exchange of gunfire with officers and a police officer whose ballistic vest stopped a bullet was injured.
Craddock, 40, worked as a certified professional engineer for the city of Virginia Beach in the Public Utilities Department. He is listed on department news releases as a point of contact for information on local road projects over the past several years.
"This is the most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach. The people involved are our friends, coworkers, neighbour, colleagues," Mayor Bobby Dyer said.
The shooter was a disgruntled employee, the report said, quoting a Virginia government source.
"The President has been briefed on the shooting in Virginia Beach, VA and continues to monitor the situation," White House said.
"This is a horrific day for the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are devastated by the tragic shooting in Virginia Beach," said Virginia Governor Ralph Northam after visiting the scene.
The shooting took place shortly after 4 PM within the sprawling Virginia Beach Municipal Center, a campus of city offices and agencies, including the Police Department, when the gunman entered the public works department building of the city's municipal centre.
Officials said that gunman shot an unarmed security guard outside the bar, went in and continued shooting, injuring other security workers, employees and patrons.

So I went to BMW today. I noticed my bike was missing the accessory socket even though it showed on the original invoice. I took it in. They checked the vin and confirmed it should have it. Then checked the bike and confirmed it wasn't there. How odd. It's a factory option and they forgot to put it on ?
Anyway the real point to this story is that I test drove the F800GS while at BMW, and now I got the itch.
Am I crazy about thinking to upgrade so early? I've only had the 650 for 3 months / 2200 miles.
It was sooo nice. To scratch the itch or let it subside? That is the question.

How is mental skill explosive thunder for wudang? Is it better for pvp than wudang mental skill? I find wudang mental skill useless in most of pvp situations as i dont even get the chance to heal lol. I plan on getting steady soon, but meanwhile will explosive thunder be better choice than wudang school mental?
Explosive Thunder is arguably the best 'easily obtained' mental available for DPS. Steady Accumulation is better, but requires you obtain 2 gold inners that pretty much require tyrant loot, massive amounts of pawnshop tickets (and luck) or spending gold.
Wait Patiently, IMO, isn't a bad 3rd choice. The damage it adds isn't Thunder-level, but it's more steady and Ice Pact is great for Wudang now that Immortal Touch is available, so it's secondary bonus is reasonably useful as well.
As an aside, Immortal Touch is a great set if you learn to play it well and it's healing is very helpful as well. Not as much healing as our school set, but it has a shield and a silence (traited) so those balance it.

Dear friend, thank you for your contacting. As to your qeustion, we may say that each Mental Skill Effect has it's own advantages. As to wudang mental skill, it may useful for some gameplays which need high recovery capability,such as World Journey. But explosive thunder may more suitable for PK like sky arena. You may choose mental skill depends on your needs and difficulty level to gain it.

Winemaker Becoming our winemaker in 2002 at age 22 probably made Ken the youngest head winemaker in Canada at the time. This, at a time when our vineyards came into one of the largest crops we have ever had, made it a challenging time for a young, new winemaker. Despite that, Ken released his first wine, 2002 Riesling, which went on to win Best in Category and Double Gold awards in the U.S. and Canada. He's never looked back since winning dozens of awards and accolades and bringing us through to our new facility expansion. Ken has consulted for some local startup wineries as well as consulting work in China. He has a natural flair for winemaking.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Multiplayer Hands-On
We hopped over the pond to get our hands on the multiplayer portion of the new Modern Warfare.
Eirik Hyldbakk Furu
You're watching
We had high praise for the graphics and sound design in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare when we saw parts of the single-player campaign earlier this year, so we apologise for repeating ourselves, but these two aspects take everything to another level in the multiplayer portion of the game as well. When we caught up with developer Infinity Ward earlier this week what quickly became clear was how the sense of realism and attention to detail shines through.
After being transported into your designated map in real-time, the very first thing that will surprise and confuse quite a few is the lack of a radar. Treyarch kind of teased the removal of the mini-map by making it less informative in Black Ops 4, and it's definitely an interesting choice. Replacing the oh so enticing and eye-catching radar in the corner with what's basically an upgraded version of Blackout's compass enhances the immersion and makes the screen cleaner. Enemies firing their guns, objectives and other useful details are easy to spot as they pop up on the compass, and it being more centralised means that you won't have to sacrifice those death-tempting milliseconds to look at the corner of the screen - it was a cool change we quickly learned to enjoy as it allowed us to better take in the world around us and increase the value of the UAV killstreak by not only showing enemies but also the layout of the map.
Then you start running and realise that a new engine doesn't just mean more pixels and prettier models. "Realism" is the word of the day in Modern Warfare, and it's clear that the animation team has been working hard over the last few years. Change can be scary, so we're glad to say that it's good in this case. From the way your weapon gets further away from the ideal position the faster you run (MW introduces a third running speed that increases the aim down sight speed) to how you can see and almost feel every kickback from each shot. This is the closest a shooter has come to making a gun feel like the real deal, as every detail, both visual and audible, will make you understand just how lethal they are.
And we haven't even mentioned the incredible customisation options on offer in the Gunsmith menu, which allows you to modify weapons just how you like them using a wide variety of attachments and perks. Ben Garnell, the main brain behind the game's boomsticks, told us that it's even possible to make some fan favourite classics by combining certain attachments, so we can't wait to find some of the cool Easter eggs and great weapons for different playstyles emerge from this extensive system.
The Gunsmith isn't the only thing showing the studio's focus on giving us options. Modern Warfare also introduces the recently revealed 2 vs. 2 Gunfight mode for players wanting a more intimate and intense experience. Some players might have written this off as soon as they heard what it's about, but that would be a mistake. Gunfight is a real friendship-builder with its heavy focus on cooperation and quick adaptability. As you'll have to make do with the somewhat randomised loadout the mode gives you every few rounds, Gunfight forces you to rethink your strategy on the fly, especially if your partner dies, making it a real thrill.
Some say that bigger is always bigger, which is why Infinity Ward also has upped the maximum player count and map size in certain modes. While we only got to try out 10 vs. 10 and 20 vs. 20 Team Deathmatch and Domination modes, we're also told that the developers have been tinkering with more than 100 players and Jack O'Hara, the game's design director, revealed that we'll see higher player numbers and bigger maps sooner rather than later. A comment like that obviously made us ask about the rumoured battle royale mode, but O'Hara could neither confirm or deny such a thing. Update: Activision has now confirmed that the mode with more than a hundred players is an upgraded version of Ground War.
All multiplayer design director Joe Cecot decided to tease was that we'll indeed see more modes post-launch, and he explained that they're staggering their release because they don't want to spread the player-base too thin or overwhelm them at launch. Not that we're complaining when both the map design and pacing felt great both in 2 vs. 2, 6 vs. 6, 10 vs. 10 and 20 vs. 20. Just like Black Ops 4, it doesn't seem like quantity has come at the expense of quality.
Most of the maps we got to play were well-designed and balanced for different playstyles and modes. Those of you longing for remakes of maps from original should lay those hopes to rest right now though, as the developers once again specified that this isn't a remake. That's not to say that we won't get something post-launch because they also said that there's some stuff planned for the nostalgic among us. You don't need to fret either way. Our déjà vu counter went off on several occasions and its clear that the Modern Warfare spirit is still there. Whether it be Gun Runner's train and abandoned warehouses giving us flashbacks to Pipeline, or the many memorable locations in the new Aniyah Palace that feel like what you'd get if Ambush and Showdown had a baby. The focus on three-laned maps seems to have been toned down as well to make room for more natural variety in every arena, with both verticality and multiple ways of outflanking campers (so-called positioned players...).
Overall we noted a plethora of minor improvements and new systems. Changes like being able to lean out of cover; improved bullet-penetration; mounting your weapon on ledges to stabilise your aim; finally being able to interact with doors; the implementation of very realistic night vision goggles; the clock on your arm that reflects the time on your PC or console; and a number of new killstreaks and 'specialist strike packages' made more of a difference than you might think. Top this with the fact that the unification of Campaign, Spec-Ops and Multiplayer means that anything earned in one of the three parts of the game can be used in the other two, and the fact that there's cross-play across all platforms, and you might understand why we're excited for the full release on October 25, if not the beta on September 12.

In order to "Golden Key" a troublesome person or difficult situation, think, "Now I'm going to Golden Key John, or Mary, or that threatened danger"; then lift John or Mary or the danger into the presence of God and think only of God.
There after the person is certain to be in some better, wiser, and more spiritual person. A pending lawsuit or other difficulty will probably fade out without coming to a crisis, justice being done to all parties concerned.

IF YOU didn't manage to secure tickets to the Ashley Kriel documentary, Action Kommandant: The Untold Story of a Guerrilla, because tickets sold out, there's good news.
Due to popular demand, the festival'sorganisers added two more screenings in Cape Town and Joburg. The documentary premiered in Cape Town's Cinema Nouveau at the V&A Waterfront on Friday.
The documentary delves into the life of the anti-apartheid student activist who was killed in front of a Hazendal house in Athlone on June 9, 1987. He was 20.
Evidence strongly suggests that Kriel was murdered rather than accidentally shot as claimed by police captain Jeffrey Benzien at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Benzien was granted amnesty for Kriel's death in the 1990s.
The making of the documentary and evidence uncovered, as well as a story published in the Cape Argus, prompted the Hawks to reopen the case this year.
Nadine Cloete, the woman behind the documentary, recently arrived in the city after the film had its world premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival.
Cloete told the Cape Argus she was excited about rubbing shoulders with some of the world's most renowned filmmakers. Her documentary screened on May 27, celebrated as National Memorial Day in the US, before an audience of 50. Cloete said she loved it when Africans came to her screenings.
"There was a couple from Zimbabwe and another filmmaker from Senegal. Some of the questions I got from the American audience was, if I thought the Western sanctions helped South Africa during apartheid.
"Those questions are a bit difficult to answer because you want to be a good ambassador for your country and explain the realities of the situation.
"I said that we don't have the apartheid laws anymore but people still have the same mindset. That is the thing they need to change – to work on that," Cloete said.
She also addressed an American high school after the premiere where she spoke to students about the historical significance of Kriel's life.
"Speaking to the students was something great. It is a bit of pressure because you are really representing your country. That was something intense, especially talking about the TRC process.
The documentary will be screened in Cape Town throughout the weekend and in Joburg tomorrow.


I just happened to run into the BBC show 'Right on the money' today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07ksk26 Nice light entertainment, bit of inspiration, decent info for couch potato time. Although I didn't agree with all the advice.
I thought TLC's 'Extreme cheapskates' was hilarious at times (the wedding anniversary, the home made dumpster dived breast pump, the goat head dinner for one while there were two people at the table) but I'm pretty sure a lot of that was fake.
Do you know about any other TV shows or maybe YouTube channels that make nice and useful entertainment?

Q: devbridge jquery autocomplete
I have been looking for an autocomplete plugin & devbridge's seems to be really usable, and well documented.
However, I do have a question unanswered by the documentation, it seems , nor by any of the answers / questions on SO:
I would like to use remotely collected data  (using ajax/JSON...) and output the pair id / value so that the value is searched, and displayed but the id is used in the 'value' field of the input , much in the way a select / option would do,as the below every basic example below illustrates:
<select name="pets" id="pet_id">
    <option value="" disabled >--Please choose an option--</option>
    <option value="1">Dog</option>
    <option value="5">Cat</option>
    <option value="2">Hamster</option>
    <option value="6">Parrot</option>
    <option value="8">Spider</option>
    <option value="10">Goldfish</option>
</select>

PS: note that I voluntarily typed in non-sequential values to avoid confusing the issue ..

I have seen the use of a "link" to another field to display either the ID (value)  or the selected result of the search, in other plugins, but I would like to go for a simpler , more user friendly approach mimicking / using the select / option HTML combobox input
Could anyone knowledgeable on this plugin set me on the way ?
Many thanks!

ELECTION: Shunhe Xiong Enters Race for Board of Health
By: Submitted Content | March 17, 2017
Content submitted by DongChun Wang. Email news to [email protected]
With more than 100 signatures collected, Dr. Shunhe Xiong is a certified candidate for the one-year seat on the Board of Health in Westford's town-wide election.
The seat was vacated by Helen Fu in February for personal reasons. Xiong is one of two certified candidates for the seat. Joanne Belanger, appointed by Board members to fill the post until the May election, is also a certified candidate.
At a gathering of the Westford Chinese Community at the J. V. Fletcher library, on March 4, Xiong discussed his decision to run for the position with more than 30 voters and said he was encouraged by strong support.
"My family and I deeply appreciate the healthy environment that Westford provides to its residents. But I do not take it for granted. I believe that maintaining a healthy environment takes hard work and sometimes a tough fight, and we, as residents of Westford, are obligated to make our hometown a better place to live." said Xiong.
As an engineer with 26 years of experience, Xiong said he will bring his unique background and expertise to the Board of Health. He said he has rigorous training and broad knowledge base in science. According to Xiong, through his professional experience, including his work auditing more than 100 factories for quality and environmental compliance with the ISO standards, he has gained in-depth understanding of the environmental impact of manufacturing industries and operations. He said his experience and expertise will be complementary to the other board members and he expressed enthusiasm over the opportunity to serve the town of Westford.
Xiong was born in China and came to the United States to pursue his doctoral degree. He holds a master's degree in manufacturing engineering and a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering.
He has lived in Westford for 10 years, with a daughter who is a Westford Academy graduate, now attending college, and a son who is a freshman at WA.
Representing almost 7 percent of the population in Westford, according to the 2015 U.S. Census, the Asian community in Westford was awakened by a controversy over a Board of Selectmen settlement with a Nashua businessman who is planning to build an asphalt plant in town.
Communicating through social media, the Chinese residents were a visible symbol of resistance of the agreement at public hearings and demonstrations. At least two appeals of the settlement are pending.
The Board of Health is the watchdog agency charged with monitoring Newport Materials at 540 Groton Road, where owner Richard DeFelice plans to build his asphalt plant.
Members of the Chinese community gathered on March 4 to hear Shunhe Xiong's platform as a candidate for the Board of Health. COURTESY PHOTO

Miley Cyrus's Mom Wants to Sell You a 'Booty Call' Candle
By Allie Jones

The type of candles you burn in your home can say a lot about you. Diptyque: Rich girl. Jo Malone: Nice mom. Meyer's: Frequent grocery shopper. Original Scent: Oh, what's that?
It's Tish Cyrus's new candle company, which features original scents including Happy Hippie, Tipsy, and Booty Call. Cyrus (mom to Miley; wife to Billy Ray) launched the line with her best friend and celebrity branding agent Nicole Winnaman at Coachella last month. I got to sample all 29 of the surprisingly pleasant candles earlier this week in a Soho penthouse, which was decorated with poster-size photos of Cyrus and Winnaman romping through the music festival. Original Scent, the founders said, is very fun.
Liam's favorite. Photo: Courtesy Original Scent
Most of the candles have a decidedly sorority-girl vibe: There's the aforementioned Booty Call, which Winnaman described as "instant Viagra," and a cannabis-scented offering called Hashtag High. There are also a few muted options, like Rose Court and Honey. Cyrus told me that South Beach, a "vibrant citrus blend with Pink Art Deco packaging" is Liam Hemsworth's favorite. All of the options retail for $18 for travel size and $32 for full size.
Cyrus, a 50-year-old with bleached-blonde waves and a delightful Tennessee accent, is currently going through a personal rebranding as an interior-design guru. For the last several years, she has managed the careers of her famous offspring (she recently launched the singing career of her youngest daughter, Noah), but now, she is focusing more on her own projects. Later this month, Bravo will premiere a new reality show called Cyrus vs. Cyrus: Design and Conquer, in which Cyrus and her oldest daughter Brandi compete to decorate rooms in other people's houses. In a preview for the show, Cyrus describes her aesthetic as "very California, classic, casual, little contemporary, and throw in a little boho … bohemian chic." The candles are the perfect product tie-in: Cyrus said she was able to feature them in almost every episode. A candle really lights up a room.
I am not an expert in candles or design or pop-music management, but I will give you my assessment of Original Scent's offerings: I liked them. There were a few that smelled too sweet, like the inside of a Bath & Body Works semi-annual sale, but most of them smelled much more expensive than I expected. I am currently burning Free Love, a rainbow-decorated option that brings a "fresh, clean, light and sensual scent into your home," according to its description, which sounds exactly right. My second favorite is Booty Call, though I can't say it's given me a boner.
If you do not want a candle that says "Tipsy" on it, Original Scent offers the option to personalize the candle labels online. This means you could put your name on a candle, or someone else's name, or something like, "Miley's Bachelorette!" (Are Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth getting married soon? Tish Cyrus oddly did not reveal this information to me.) At the very least, Original Scent candles would make a nice, personalized gift for a party. And then you could say to the recipient: "It's Miley Cyrus's mom's candle company — it's fun."
