The annual St. Baldrick's Day fundraiser and shave-a-thon was a banner event in its 13th year in Avon, raising $6,866 in donations for the St. Baldrick's Foundation – a volunteer-driven charity that funds childhood cancer research grants.
Held for the second year in a row at Turner's High Moon Bar in Avon, this year's Saturday afternoon shave-fest attracted waves of hairy attendees who bravely went under the razor to garner much-needed donations, and to make 2019's St. Baldrick's one of the most successful – and financially rewarding – in recent memory.
The Turner's High Moon Bar locale ensured that shavees could enjoy a little liquid courage before heading to the colorful stage, where four volunteer barbers were waiting: Denise Gaskins of Hair by the Sea, Tabitha Rose of Zen Therapy, Chloe Sapecki, and Sarah Allander of Salon Jobell, who was marking her first year as a St. Baldrick's Barber.
In another unique twist that hadn't been seen in a few years, 2019's 20 attendees included three women, who volunteered to shave their heads with a smile. All three ladies generated more than $1,000 in donations through the event, making them the top fundraisers at St. Baldrick's, as well as the bravest people in the green-infused room.
Christine Herrick Van Atta, a special education teacher at CHSS, had the support of her husband, her teacher colleagues, and the girls' volleyball team she coaches at the high school before she took the plunge, although – somewhat surprisingly – she didn't need too much convincing to participate as a shavee.
Christine's goal was $1,000, but she ended up generating exactly $1,600 in funds, thanks to a last-minute $50 contribution from longtime participant Warren "Tater" Gaskins.
The other two courageous ladies were a mother and daughter team – Jenny and Elaine Hooper – who shaved their heads in tandem style.
Daughter Elaine had shaved her head before for St Baldrick's roughly a decade ago, but this time she was coerced into embracing a bald look by her mom.
"[Elaine] said that if I hit $750 in donations, she'd do it too, so this is a two-for-one deal," said mom Jenny.
"Yes, I opened my big mouth, and here I am," said her daughter.
After the close shave, Jenny and Elaine posed for grinning pictures, while Jenny noted how much money she would save on hair products in the immediate future. "I shampooed my hair this morning, and put the shampoo bottle high on the shelf afterwards and said 'I won't need this for a while,'" she said.
The event also attracted plenty of local regulars who jokingly refer to the event as their "annual haircut." Longtime shavee Richard Augustson, who came decked out in a bright green beard for the occasion, had been growing his hair since Thanksgiving, and was grateful for the clean slate.
Turner's was decked out in St. Patrick's Day color, and the site had ample room for the crowd of shavees and supporters as the festivities lingered well into the afternoon.
The event's local roots technically began 16 years ago, when Tina Chandler and her daughter, Maddy, attended the Norfolk-based event while her daughter was undergoing chemotherapy. For several years afterwards, some Avon locals would make the drive up to Norfolk every March to participate, until they decided to simply stage their own event closer to home.
The first St. Baldrick's in Avon was held at the Avon Surf Shop, with Chloe Sapecki as the event's lone barber. It eventually moved to the Avon Fire Station as more and more attendees signed up to have their heads shaved clean, and more recently, to its new home at Turner's.
Organizer Jenn Augustson, who has been involved in Avon's St Baldrick's Day since it was established, said that 2019's event more than doubled their goal of $3,000, making it one of the most successful shave-fests in years.
An extra $1,460 extra was made at the event itself from folks walking in with checks or cash, (as well as from sponsorships), and even curious lunch or dinner patrons joined in the spirit – like Seattle couple Merrick and Stephanie who are currently biking from Key West to Nova Scotia, and who stopped in for an impromptu haircut.
Needless to say, Hatteras Island will be a balder, more beautiful place to be in the weeks to come, as chrome domes have a moment as the new trend in island hairstyles – for apparently both men and women.
Multiple people commented on how lovely the ladies looked with their new do's, (or lack thereof), and considering their casual and generous attitudes before and after the cut, it's a safe bet that their bravery – as well as the bravery of all of the shavees at St' Baldrick's – will inspire more participants in the years to come.
The St. Baldrick's Fundraiser is still accepting donations for folks who missed the 2019. Visit https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/Avon2019 to help push the total amount of donations to $7,000, and well past the goal.

Live music and craft beer are what summer is all about, and the folks at Field House Brewing Co know that more than anyone.
In the last weekend of June, the brewery hosted the first ever Field Days Festival as part of The Backyard Concert Series.
Brothers Adam and Levi Klassen, who started the Backyard Concert Series last year, said that the purpose of hosting the festival is for people to get out and support local artists in Abbotsford.
They originally planned three concerts last year but added a fourth due to its success. Another three have been planned for this year in addition to the Field Days Festival.
"A lot of people are trying to create really cool community events and things like that and we just want to be a part of that group that are making things happen in Abbotsford," Adam Klassen said.
The festival stage was set up at the bottom of Field House "beer lawn." Wooden chairs and benches provided a place to sit. Overall, the effect was a surreal forest clearing kind of setting.
The parking lot extended the festival feel, with food trucks serving German pizza, tacos, ice cream, and Oldhand coffee. An attempt was made to make the event more family friendly with a ping pong table and bean bag toss set up for children while the adults could sit and drink the Field House brew.
The two day festival featured many local artists from B.C., such as Kin, Silvia Platters, Teen Daze, Alexandria Maillot, and Jordan Klassen. Teen Daze played a low key set, beginning by saying that he wanted everyone to relax, drink some beer, and connect with the people around them. Alexandria Maillot's music felt as though it was made for the forest-like setting.
The event felt like quintessential summer. The sun was shining and at one point, campfire smoke blew through the space.
Abbotsford-born Jordan Klassen closed the show on Saturday with music from his latest album Javelin as the sun set. Klassen expressed gratitude that events like Field Days were happening in Abbotsford, saying the city was lame when he moved to Vancouver several years ago.
However, the event felt somewhat withdrawn and separated from the full Abbotsford community. Cars driving by were clearly confused as to what was happening and there were some noise complaints earlier in the day.
The event targeted a specific audience and it felt like everyone already knew each other. Nevertheless, Field Days served the purpose of being a great precursor to Jam in Jubilee, a concert series held in Jubilee Park in Abbotsford this August.


Why should I use the color Yellow in my Kitchen?
Energy already because of the big energy of your appliances. So the trick now is to balance it with the Earth element. It can be any of the earth tones, yellows through the orange tones. Do not use the color red in your kitchen because you are actually adding fuel to the fire element. This can make for heated discussions in the kitchen and crabby, grumpy people! Negative energy will also affect the making of your food.
Refresh your kitchen by cleaning out the cabinets of old spices and down size all of those extra items that are hiding in the back. Check out your pots & pans, do they fit in the cabinet?
Do you have old décor on the tops of your cabinets? Time to refresh and cleanse the area.
Add new fresh energy to the space with opening windows to shift the old stale air out and bring fresh chi to all in the kitchen.
Did your holiday decorating look like this?
Stuff... we collect it, carry it around, live amongst it, and navigate our lives around it. Over time, the accumulation of "stuff" becomes clutter gathering dust, which then becomes useless junk that no longer serves a purpose.
The consequence of being surrounded by clutter results in congested energy, blocked creativity and no room to allow prosperity to flow into our lives. Much like a detoxifying cleanse that is recommended for a healthier body and weight loss, freeing our home of accumulated clutter will result in a healthier and uplifted environment, and ultimately our state of being.
It's said that a cluttered environment makes for a cluttered mind. The constant distraction and pull of random objects and piles of useless items around us only scatters and erodes our energy. True to the ancient science of Feng Shui, the movement of energy forces have an enormous impact on our psyche and emotional state. Like our diet, our home will ultimately nourish us or drain us.
As we begin a new year, why not enter it with a lighter load and fresh outlook? Perhaps it's time for you to take stock of your possessions and evaluate if you have use for them anymore. Whether it's clothes and shoes you no longer wear, old furniture, magazines and CDs, dishes, ornaments and trinkets, or cupboards full of old products, there are plenty of outlets that will gladly take used items, and you can feel good that you're assisting others in need. You can approach the process with a light heart rather than as a dreaded chore, knowing it will benefit you and others.
When does nostalgia over an item become a weight? As the perception of what's "junk" is subjective, it will be your personal decision for what no longer serves you. Ask yourself; does this item bring me joy and inspire me?
Why not start with your purse? Then turn to your home and clear the corners, entrance ways, window sills, closets, and bedroom drawers, under the sinks, the basement and garage. It's vital to clear the foundation beyond just the surface, leaving nothing festering behind closed doors.
A helpful strategy is to arm yourself with some empty boxes and garbage bags, with the intention of categorizing your throw-away items for recycling, garbage, gifts to others, and second hand stores. Start with something that won't overwhelm you and leave you feeling inspired; perhaps that might be de-cluttering your car! After clearing out the junk from your home, you might find yourself enthusiastic to continue revitalizing it by washing the walls – think of washing away years of old energy beyond cleaning off dirt and stains.
Even more uplifting is adding fresh paint, new carpeting, flooring, curtains or blinds, new plants and better lighting.The purging process of de-cluttering your home is a healthy and liberating Feng Shui process, and you will be guaranteed to feel uplifted and more peaceful.
Don't go through 2014 weighted down by unnecessary clutter. Make room for new energy and opportunities to enter your life.
Thanks Yvonne! We all need to de-clutter areas of our lives. It truly does open up more room for renewed energy.

Power in leadership should be used for service—Vatican official
Msgr. Paul Tighe
MANILA, Nov. 24, 2013—The power that comes with being a leader is not meant to be used for one's own interests but to serve and reach out to others, a Vatican official said.
Reflecting on the gospel reading on today's feast of Christ the King, Msgr. Paul Tighe, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Social Communication, said Jesus' idea of kingship is "all about service, of reaching out to others, not about looking after one's own interests."
Tighe presided on November 24 the closing Mass of the Catholic Social Media Summit at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran, which also coincided with the feast of the Christ the King and the closing of the Year of Faith.
He said that by his example, Jesus has given a representation of the power that comes with authority and how it should be lived, different from the way the world perceives it.
Tighe noted the way of Jesus is of "giving yourself, of not controlling, not dominating, not having power but of giving yourself and spending yourself in the service of others."
"So Jesus was recovering a different form of leadership, a different way of thinking, a different way of being powerful," he said.
The resignation of Pope Benedict from the papacy is one example of using the power of the office at the service of the Church, Tighe noted.
Pope Benedict "relinquished the power, because he was not sure he had the strength, the physical ability any longer to do what was required. He saw that the service of being pope was not about himself but about building up the church," Tighe said. "He did it because he saw his power and his office as being all about service."
Pope Francis has also defined his own way of being a leader, a way of having power through his simplicity, of reaching out to the sick and going to those who have been cast aside, Tighe noted.
The examples that Benedict XVI and Pope Francis have shown may tempt us to point fingers to our political leaders and say they also should be different.
Instead the question we should ask, according to Tighe, is what does having this power mean for each of us.
"Usually we are not inclined to think of ourselves as powerful. We are not inclined to think ourselves as wealthy, as having huge authority, but we have to remember we are exceptionally privileged, we are a people who have a gift of faith, and by and large, we are a people with life with certain benefits, certainly there are people who are poorer who are in greater need than we are," he said.
He said the real test of who we are as persons would depend on how we use the little power that we have in us when we interact with people.
"Are we attentive to the people who are begging in our streets? It's not that we can have money always for them, but to always see in them their dignity and their worth. How do I treat the less fortunate?"
Our attitude and the way we treat people becomes the hallmark of the kind of person that we are, he said. (CBCPNews)
Use social media power to transform digital world, young people told
Be 'HOT' like St. Joseph, bishop tells faithful
Even amid challenges, St. Joseph lived a phenomenal vocation in God's plan of salvation, an example for all Catholics to imitate, a church official said.
Pope Francis urged Christians to pray for "the gift of unity" on Wednesday, saying that the devil always seeks to sow division and discord.

The B*tch Watch: Aug 4, 2017 Film preview
August 3, 2017 by Joe Lipsett
It's the dog days of summer and the reviews (mostly) prove it.
The general conceit is that August films fall into two categories: late entry blockbusters and duds (not September duds, mind you, but films that are still worthy of critical drubbing). This weekend very clearly encapsulates this idea, with The Dark Tower falling into the former category and Kidnap falling into the latter. Never mind that terrible marketing and reviews are sure to doom the Stephen King adaptation before it even gets out of the gates. Thank goodness there's Detroit!
Cast: Idris Elba (Thor), Matthew McConaughey (Magic Mike)
Official Synopsis: There are other worlds than these. Stephen King's The Dark Tower, the ambitious and expansive story from one of the world's most celebrated authors, makes its launch to the big screen. The last Gunslinger, Roland Deschain (Elba), has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O'Dim, also known as the Man in Black (McConaughey), determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.
Good for fans of: alternate worlds, universe(s) in peril, Stephen King adaptations
Is it worth your time? No. The advance reviews came out Wednesday night and they are essentially wall to wall pans. While The Dark Tower is not the year's worst film, it appears that the King adaptation is a wasted opportunity. Despite good performances from Elba and McConaughey, the film never bothers to dedicate itself to its world or character building, opting instead for bland action sequences that don't even thrill. This is the very definition of a "watch it at home" flick.
Gross: $20 million / Final Gross: $80 million
Cast: John Boyega (Attack The Block!), Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker)
Official Synopsis: Amidst the chaos of the Detroit Rebellion, with the city under curfew and as the Michigan National Guard patrolled the streets, three young African American men were murdered at the Algiers Motel.
Good for fans of: historical dramas, exceedingly well directed action, Selma
Is it worth your time? Yes, though (full confession) I'm a big fan of director Kathyrn Bigelow. She is one of the few female directors who has managed to hold her own in the Hollywood boys club, which is especially applause-worthy considering she primarily makes action/testosterone-driven films. Lots of people know her for The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, but she's been directing kick ass films for decades (see also: Near Dark, Strange Days, Point Break). For her latest, Bigelow has tapped into a topical subject and assembled a stellar cast and the reviews are great. This is the only respectable choice if you're seeing a new film this weekend; it's also a possible Oscar contender so we could be talking about Detroit for quite some time.
Cast: Halle Berry (Swordfish). She is literally the only name.
Official Synopsis: The film is a heart-stopping action thriller following a mother (Berry) who will stop at nothing to rescue her kidnapped son.
Good for fans of: ticking clock narratives, generic action films, Halle Berry?
Is it worth your time? Is this even a movie? I literally hadn't heard of this until a few weeks ago. The premise sounds uninspired and, well, boring and the reviews don't reveal anything that might change that opinion. This feel like an obligatory August dump, which means that someone will go and see it. Just make sure that that one person isn't you.
Gross: $6 million / Final Gross: $20 million
Limited Release: This week we have an inspirational – if slight – female college film Step and the middle-of-the-road reviews with a great climax Elizabeth Olsen/Jeremy Renner drama Wind River.
That's it for this week. Next week we have another Conjuring prequel in the form Anabelle: Creation, the Brie Larson starring mondo-depressing biopic The Glass Castle and the mind-numbing Nut Job sequel. Watch out for that one!

Emotional Backgammon is a 2003 British independent comedy-drama about couples strategizing to repair relationships, with unexpected results. The film was written by Leon Herbert and Matthew Hope, directed by Herbert, and stars Herbert, Wil Johnson, Daniela Lavender, and Jacqueline de Peza.  It is Herbert's first feature-length film. During its development it was featured on UK Channel 4's Movie Virgins series; upon its release, it received mixed reviews.

Plot
John is crushed when his girlfriend, Mary, announces that she's leaving him to "find herself", at the very moment John was about to ask her to marry him.  John seeks out advice from his best friend Steve on strategies to win her back. Steve uses backgammon as a metaphor for approaches to take, telling John to "roll the dice, for love is a game." At the same time, Mary begins taking advice from her best friend, also employing complicated strategies.  It is revealed that both John and Jane share a bitter, complicated past.

Cast
 Leon Herbert as Steve
 Wil Johnson as John
 Daniela Lavender as Mary
 Jacqueline de Peza as Jane
 Bob Mercer as Paul
 Steve Weston as Cab driver
 Steve Edwin as Psychiatrist
 Dee Cannon as Theatre Director

Production
Herbert and Hope stated that, "The script idea was drawn from countless conversations with friends in problematic relationships. It is a story about emotional black-mail, but also an analysis of insecurities, and the charged and complex control tactics we resort to in the game of love."
The film's production was featured on UK Channel 4's series Movie Virgins. With a budget of £6,000, it was shot on location in London, England "in a total of 18 days in July 1999" in 35mm by award-winning cinematographer Koutaiba Al-Janabi.  Soundtrack artists included Kelly Le Roc, Lamarr, Incognito, David Lynden Hall, Fierce and Shola Ama (title track).

Reception
The film was met with very mixed reviews. The BBC review called it neither "a diamond hiding in the rough, or even a half decent feature", referring to the acting as "woeful", the soundtrack "cloyingly overbearing", which "deadens each scene", and the films sexual politics "dubious, unironic, and completely uninterrogated." According to the reviewer, the film's lack of understanding of sexual politics is illustrated by Steve's taking a role in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, and the film is a "clunking, and offensive, drama."

Rich Cline called the film an "enjoyable low-budget British relationship comedy [which] has a serious sting in its tale at the end that almost undoes it altogether." Cline enjoyed the film's "style and substance", "visuals" and acting, but found the plot to be similar to Two Can Play That Game. He appreciated the use of London locations, intercut with "witty fantasy sequences" for character point of view, but found the film to take "seriously disturbing turns" in which misogyny, "rape, murder, and homosexuality" are introduced at the climax of the film, and "seriously weaken the clever and funny film that went before."

Angela Swift wrote that even though she hoped it would succeed, and was prepared to grant considerable latitude for any faults, the film "unfortunately, does not measure up to our hopes or expectations."  Some of the "admirable work" includes the nearly all-black cast, portraying "unabashed ethnicity" and the film's "almost clever" idea with "a few good twists". Swift found the backgammon-human-relationship simile to be overused, though visually interesting: "overkill drowns out any notion of ingenuity", and the film's repeated use of a pun on "Taming of the shrew" to be "without subtlety or insight."  Overall, the film is "relatively unfunny and unsophisticated".

The Time Out reviewer wondered "Are Steve and Jane to blame for what ensues? Or [...] Shakespeare [...]?", and found that, although model/actor Johnson "manages to cut an intriguing figure, the film leaves the viewer perplexed. Is Herbert just playing with his audience?  If so, it's a dangerous game."

According to The Guerrilla Film Maker's Handbook, the film grossed £1056, for 209 tickets sold.

In some cases, it may be necessary to resubmit assets for approval that have already been through the process. In order to get the most out of DF Studio's Approvals UI, it is useful to reset the approval state on those assets before sending a new set of Approval Messengers.
1. Select the asset (or assets) for which approvals should be reset.
2. Click the "Reset Approvals" button in the Asset Inspector's Info tab.
3. Provide a reason for resetting the approval state on the asset(s) and click the "Reset Approvals" button.
The approval state of the asset(s) is reset regardless of the reason entered. The reason is logged in the asset's history in case a user needs that information in the future; it is not displayed anywhere else.
When approvals are reset, the approval status indicator in the background of an asset's card will be reset to its default state (no color). Accordingly, any recipients of Approval Messengers who were listed in the Approval Status section of the Asset Inspector's Info tab will be removed.
However, if any Approval Messengers are in "pending" state at the time approvals are reset, they will remain in that condition, since no approval decision has yet been submitted. In this case, the approval status indicator will display a yellow background, and any recipients whose Approval Messengers are unsubmitted will remain in the Approval Status section of the Asset Inspector.
If this is the desired outcome, there is no need to circulate an additional Approval Messenger to those recipients who have not yet returned their original Messengers. If instead it would be preferable to have all Approval Messengers removed when resetting the approval state, first expire any pending Approval Messengers, then reset approvals.
Resetting the approval state of an asset restores its appearance in the Approvals UI as described above. It does not, however, remove the original approval decisions from the asset's history. These are still viewable in the History tab of the Asset Inspector for each asset, and can be expanded to display which Messenger recipient submitted the decision and when.
Also visible in the asset history will be the date and time the approval state was reset, which user performed the reset, and the reason given (see step 3, above).
If necessary, the listing in the History tab can be filtered to display only those actions related to asset approvals. Click the filter menu and select "Approvals" to filter.

Thailand To Extradite Accused Arms Dealer Viktor Bout, 'Merchant Of Death' : The Two-Way Thailand announced it would extradite alleged arms dealer Viktor Bout to the U.S., to face criminal conspiracy charges.
The Two-Way
Thailand To Extradite Accused Arms Dealer Viktor Bout, 'Merchant Of Death'

Christophe Archambault/AFP
An appeals court in Thailand has ruled that accused arms dealer Viktor Bout, nicknamed the "Merchant of Death," can be extradited to the U.S., to face criminal charges.
According to Acting Deputy Attorney General Gary G. Grindler, "We are extremely pleased that the Appeals Court in Thailand has granted the extradition of Viktor Bout to the United States on charges of conspiring to sell weapons to a terrorist organization for use in killing Americans."
We have always felt that the facts of the case, the relevant Thai law and the terms of our bilateral extradition treaty clearly supported the extradition of Mr. Bout on these charges.
The prosecution of Viktor Bout is of utmost priority to the United States, but the criminal charges he faces are not solely an American concern. He has been sanctioned by the United Nations for alleged arms trafficking activity and support of armed conflicts in Africa.
Relaying Bout's background, Danger Room's Noah Shachtman doesn't mince words: "For more than 15 years, Viktor Bout allegedly sold and ran guns to just about every scumbag on the planet: the Taliban, Congolese rebels, Hezbollah extremists, Colombia's FARC, Muammar Qaddafi, Mobutu Sese Seko."
And for more than 15 years, it looked like this "Merchant of Death" would get away with it. He'd give interviews to the international press while investigators were on his tail. Even Bout's 2008 arrest in Thailand seemed like an escape. His wife told a local judge that Bout was only in South America for "tango lessons." The court agreed not to send Bout to the United States. One of the judges even said that "a Thai court cannot judge a case regarding aliens killing aliens outside of Thailand."

1964/5 Volkswagen Pick-Up & Porsche Formula V
Ben Branch June 5, 2013

This combination of a 1964/5 Volkswagen Pick-Up and a Porsche Formula V track car is one of the more unique items we've come across in recent memory, and the pair of them together are quite possibly the coolest track day set up in the world.
The Volkswagen Pick-Up has had its original engine removed in favour of a Porsche 914 powerplant, this engine has been tuned to produce somewhere in the region of 200hp which necessitated the addition of a new heavy duty clutch and a new set of brakes to ensure that you don't end up in a hedge.
The Porsche is an original Formcar Formula V, it was built by Porsche in Werk 1 and was a factory race car driven by the likes of Hans Hermann, Gerhard Mitter and Ben Pon. It's been restored and has a fresh set of body panels however the original panels do come with the car, it's been thoroughly check over since its last race outing at the Nürburgring in 2011.
The suspension has been professionally set up, the brakes have been checked and the engine tuned for performance – the car has a top speed of 160kph (100 miles an hour), which is rather fast when you have no aerodynamic downforce and your bottom is 4 inches off the ground.
The car also comes with all the required FIA HTP (historic technical pass) papers, allowing it to run in FIA sanctioned races around the world – so if you've been hunting around for one of the most fantastic retro race cars that money can buy, this might just be for you. If you'd like to enquire you can visit Jan B. Lühn here, or if your bank account looks as feeble as ours, you can join us in drooling over the pictures below.

Q: A tool for returning an absolute static xpath pointing to a text node containing some string in xml file I need to find some record by its contents in a huge xml database. I am looking for a tool able to return a full static xpath pointing to a text node containing 'search string' in xml file.
Assume my xml file looks like:
<root>

    Some text

    The search string inside a longer text

</root>

If I use next xpath:
//text()[contains(., 'search string')]

it will get
The search string inside a longer text

which is correct, but not what I need. I wonder if there is a simple way to get as output or result:
/root/a[2]/b/

or
/root/a[@id='second']/b/

without coding in xslt or any xml oriented language.

A: Taking the comment above of Jack Fleeting into account, what about this one liner:
xidel -s file.xml -e "//text()[contring')]/ancestor::*/(name(),count(./preceding-sibling::*)+1)" | sed 's/^/\//;N;s/\n\([0-9]*\)/[\1]/' | tr -d '\n' ; echo

The last echo is just for cosmetics: to get the prompt of the next shell command at the beginning of the line.

A:
I am looking for a tool able to return a full static xpath pointing to a text node containing 'search string' in xml file.

Xidel and the path()-function might be what you're looking for.
xidel -s input.xml -e '//text()[contains(.,"search string")]/replace(path(),"Q\{\}","")'
/root[1]/a[2]/b[1]/text()[1]

Base Quantum - Quality in Quantity
Forensic Expert Witness
Quantity Surveying Services
Our People: An interview with Loukas Karampogias
Loukas Karampogias
Role: Senior Quantity Surveyor
Office location: Aldwych, London
Joined the team: January 2021
Why Base?
Base combines professional quantum expert witness services with traditional quantity surveying services. This mix fits my professional growth strategy: I work and train to specialise in dispute resolution, although I do see myself as a holistically developed professional, committed to applying best practice and adding value using my expertise.
Where did you work and what were you doing previously?
I previously worked as a licensed civil engineer in Greece having undertaken a five-year full-time degree. Whilst my technical expertise is construction structural engineering, I quickly became aware that I was more interested in managing projects than designing structures. I found myself representing clients and managing projects alongside studying for my MBA and becoming a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece.
Since 2015 I have worked in London, primarily on large-scale high-end residential and commercial developments and as part of the project team for a competitive main contractor. My responsibilities have included project procurement, cost control, and change and risk management.
What do you feel you bring to Base?
I bring an encompassing understanding of construction, shaped through a combination of diverse but also specialised work and education, as well as a teamwork-oriented approach, a proven commitment to researching and applying best-practice standards, and a continuous aspiration to generate value and solve problems for my clients, for Base, and for society.
What are your career aspirations for the future?
In an ideal world, I would like to be a dispute resolver by practising as an adjudicator, mediator and quantum expert. My current work for Base and my commitment to lifelong education are aligned with these aspirations. For example, I am currently awaiting my results for the RICS Diploma in Adjudication in the Construction Industry.
How do you see the industry changing in the future?
As with most industries, construction is disrupted by the introduction of new and emerging technologies, the consequences of climate change and the requirements for sustainable development. Our capabilities to control and manage work and to work more efficiently using advanced technology means we have never been more developed. Mobile connectivity and machinery operated remotely or through artificial intelligence are sure to change the entire construction landscape: how we work, what resources we use, and the efficiency of these resources.
At the same time, the construction industry is a polluting one and it is ethically, and in many ways, statutorily obliged to acknowledge climate change and apply sustainable practices in its operations. Design for construction, construction operations and building management are changing and must continue to improve radically to meet the most significant challenge of our civilisation: the protection of the diversity of life on our planet and the resources of future generations.
How do you see yourself fitting into those changes?
In a world of change, I always seek to identify the needs that drive change, to continuously learn, and to materialise those changes that bring benefits. My mindset of continuous learning and creativity will hopefully be helpful for my clients and for the society that I live and work in.
Do you have an accomplishment that has shaped your career?
I decided to seek international challenges outside of my country of birth and my initial education and work experience. My subsequent work and additional studies helped me to add those five initials after my name: MRICS. To me, they signify a commitment to working under the best global standards in cost management, procurement, and dispute resolution, among other services.
What was your biggest non-career-based accomplishment and why was it important to you?
The recognition received within the Toastmasters International community, a community of volunteers that meet and practise communication and leadership. I have several Toastmasters awards and although not professionally recognised qualifications, they signify that I have participated in and supported a community that values communication and encourages each one of its members to become supportive listeners and find their voice. Even though Toastmasters meet to develop their communication skills, they spend much more time listening to and supporting their peers. I think that these values are critical in our society.
What's the biggest challenge you've faced at Base so far?
The biggest challenge I have faced so far relates to working on an international ICC arbitration and being able to add value to the work on a project which was active before I joined. This was compounded by the challenge to be an effective team player in the decentralised working environment of the pandemic. At this point, I would like to note that the rewards of addressing those challenges equal their size and gravity.
I would also like to focus on the most peculiar challenge that I had to tackle while working remotely: learning, experimenting and understanding the diverse function and value of Microsoft Teams for team bonding and coordination in a professional environment.
What did you learn from it?
Working on a large international dispute has improved my professional knowledge.
Addressing the challenges of remote working, has, for most of us I think, improved efficiency and work/life balance. Although not 'one recipe fits all', hybrid workplaces are more adaptable and consequently benefit from a more productive and committed workforce.
What would your biggest piece of advice be to those starting in the industry today?
Always ask yourself why: why something is happening, why something is proposed as the correct action, why something is perceived as valuable. Start with the relevant best practice standards to guide both your questioning and your answers.
Hobbies/Interests?
I practised Chinese Wing Chun Kung Fu for years. In addition, I am a recreational tennis player and have completed two marathons, including the authentic race from Marathon to Athens.
To be a force for good for the people close to me and society in general.

Home food Memories of the Mango
Memories of the Mango
Friday, May 12, 2017 food
As the rainy season approached a very old man was digging holes in the ground.
What are you doing? asked the neighbor.
Planting the seeds of mango trees, the old man said.
Think you can eat the fruit? the neighbor uttered contemptuously.
No, I will not live long enough to be able to eat its fruits, but the others would. The other day I thought, all my life, I have enjoyed mangoes planted by others. This is my way of showing them my gratitude. The old man said with a heart of joy.
It is an Indonesian fairy tale that I read by chance that opens the post this week.
It's such a disarming beauty that resides in the simplicity of the phrase "The other day I thought, all my life, I have enjoyed mangoes planted by others." It is a love affair long before I knew what love was. Known for its sweet smell, and even sweeter taste, mangoes are a perfect fruit for a romantic interlude. And there have been few other fruits that have captivated the hearts, minds and tongues of the majority of the world's population.
The mango, dates back to about 4000 BC that spread from India to Africa, where it made the jump in the tenth century and then to America, in the seventeenth century by the Portuguese, who took it to Brazil.
The fruits bear sin and temptation, from the Apples in the Western world to the Grapes in the Arab World to the Mango in the Indian Subcontinent. But these delicacies also evoke things that are not gastronomic. The apple symbolizes original sin and purity and is both known for its sensuality and innocence. Arabia cannot celebrate wine, woman and song without a few bunches of grapes and mango permeates the art, emotions and culture of India.
Folk songs celebrate all the phases of the life of a mango from the tree in bloom to the first fruits to the green mango to the ripe fruit, full of sweetness. You can make juice, marinate it, dry it, eat it as it is, with the juice that runs down your fingers, or very delicately, diced and covered with milk.
The Tamils call it 'mangay', the Chinese call it 'mangguo', the people of Bengal call it 'aam', those of Karnataka call it 'mavu' and those of Kerala as 'amra'. Summer in Bengal represents the freedom and kites flying in the wind, the buckets of delicious mangoes, the swings on the mango trees and the festival of Jamai Sasthi, the day when the mother-in-law pampers their son-in-laws with loads of mangoes and is also a time that brings the married women back to their parents' house.
In India, it is said, there are only two seasons the rainy season, which quenches the land, and the mango season, which satisfies the palate and the heart of men, where a beautiful gesture of friendship is considered to give a mango basket to who you love. There must be as many types of mangoes in India as there are languages from the perfumed Alphonso to the green Dashehari to the parrot beaked Totapuri to the orange beauty Banaganapalli to the succulent Chausa to the golden skinned Langada, gleaming in their jewel red, yellow and dark green tones with their own distinct aromas.
In India, it is not only a fruit but a symbol of fertility and abundance, love and devotion and some believe that the mango tree can even grant wishes. The tree is believed to be the abode of Kama, the god of love, and the leaves and flowers of the mango are also considered sacred. A string of mango leaves are tied across doorways, as an auspicious symbol on religious occasions, and are included into many of the associated rituals.
The warm color of the flesh becomes the ideal color for elegant silk saris, and the theme of fruit and flower are the recurring motifs in textiles and jewelry, in particular during a wedding feast. Jewelers design intricate ornaments and earrings or necklaces with mango designs. This fruit is very much a part of our festivals and the songs we sing.
During this same time, while cutting some sliced mangoes, I think of how my life is marked by memories associated with their smell and their taste. It's nostalgic reminiscing the good old days when as kids I tried to sneak in and steal the fruit trying to bring them down by throwing stones and climbing on the trunks to shake.
A visit to an orchard was a magical sight as after some time the trees laden with the fruit in vibrant shades of green and yellow was a sight to behold. As strong winds would start blowing we would run from one mango tree to the other collecting fresh mangoes that would keep falling all day. It was just like a mango shower.
Those were moments of priceless ecstasy when over those small and sweet green mangoes, I put a pinch of black salt and chilli powder and ate during my school vacations after stealing some from gardens. After taking a bite of the fruit I had left between the teeth, a few drops of juice would run down the chin and while the clothes would be soiled, I would suck the seeds to make them stay white and I threw the seed on my own garden as I loved to see the purple leaves coming out of the newborn mango tree. And finally, during the months long after the good season, I would taste it as pickles carefully prepared by mom.
Mangoes remind me every step of my life, but also any period that has recently gone through this land. As in a cycle of life that transcends the crisis, hardships, unfinished agendas, mangoes come again from the long and sharp ones to the large and fleshy ones. Despite all the stubbornness, mango is still here that marks our lives with her great taste and makes every garden into a corner of prosperity, at least until the end of summer.
The scent of the mango flowers on the branches, the heightened humidity in the air, along with the sweltering summer heat unite in a symphony of flavours as myths, legends, fragrance and gratitude, is what we taste when we taste a mango.

And take be aware that high quality is a must if you want to hit the excessive marks you've gotten been aiming to get.
My private opinion is that the prices for companies should not sufficiently justified. For example, for the faculty papers, the costs differ in line with the deadlines the next approach: for the 14 days deadline a value for one web page affordable papers reviews essaysrescue is $11, for the 7 days deadline the price is $12, for five days deadline – $13, three days deadline – $15, 2 days deadline – $18, 24 hours deadline – $21 and 8 hours deadline – $25. I think that for the 14 days deadline and seven days deadline the distinction could have been greater (the 14 days delivery could value $5 or so).
There are many opinions you could easily discover on the Web. The vast majority of shoppers are satisfied with the standard of the works completed. Every writer is chosen totally for a selected order. This typically takes time. Related Post: additional hints Such delays get refunded, as talked about above. Consequently, which means that a writer who lacks experience in writing the type of paper you want will never be chosen for you. Furthermore, the company considers it to be their problem, not yours.


These are the ones who prefer children and this is why they prefer the easier and more yielding source. The children will produce more liveliness, more fear, more confusion, more of all the energies that they seek through these acts of depravity. This is directly related to the political child-abuse rings, the celebrity cloning and grooming from a young age, the secret society protection and ritual abuse, and all other secret processes that are covertly hiding and supporting this process of sending human energy to the inter-dimensional parasite.
The people doing this have sold out their humanity. Largely, from the cohabitation process, they would not be considered human by any measure of scientific or spiritual definition. They are primarily the entity, their decisions are that of the entity, their movements, thoughts, perceptions are that of the entity. The human portion doesn't make decisions. Doesn't take in the sunlight, they are primarily that entity.
Signs and symbols, worship and adoration is used as a kind of trans dimensional communication method that is powered by consciousness. Certain shapes and symbols, when traced by the mind, is powered and activated by the consciousness of the individual. For instance, certain symbols that relate to certain realms, planets, or ideas will be used in ritual or all over society in public and when people feel the intentions and emotions and see these symbols they are literally connecting through sub-quantum space and sending their thoughts and energies to that source or destination of that symbol.
It is described that without this slave-system death itself would not be present in the same way and that disease and the length of life would not be the same. Humans would have enough spiritual energy to keep the body alive nearly indefinitely as all of this is simply a programming of the telomeres, the metabolism, the mitochondrial DNA, RNA, and the overall energy circuity of the body that is kept disabled through improper foods, habits, activities, and spiritually damaging belief systems. People are literally the mind and body slaves of this parasite and this has the same effects of malforming the life span and enjoyment just as much as a chicken growing up on a factory farm without the ability to move, using antibiotics to stop infection from killing the body, and being bloated and completely deformed from the fattening process.

Compass International Pictures/Falcon International Pictures/Falcon International Productions, USA, 1978
AKA: John Carpenter's Halloween/The Babysitter Murders
Director: John Carpenter
Writer: John Carpenter, Debra Hill
Cast: Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Nancy Kyes, P.J. Soles, Charles Cyphers, Kyle Richards, Brian Andrews, John Michael Graham, Nancy Stephens, Arthur Malet, Mickey Yablans, Brent Le Page, Adam Hollander, Robert Phalen, Tony Moran, Will Sandin, Sandy Johnson, David Kyle, Peter Griffith, Nick Castle, Barry Bernardi, Joseph Cornelius, George O'Hanlon Jr., Darla Rae, Jennifer Rhodes, Gwen Van Dam, Tommy Lee Wallace
It's Halloween night 1963 in Haddonfield, Illinois. 17 years old Judith Myers is supposed to look after her brother Michael, 6, but she has her boyfriend over and instead they go upstairs to have sex. When the boyfriend leaves Michael grabs a big knife from a kitchen drawer, puts on a clown mask, goes up to his naked sister and stabs her to death.
On october 30, the night before Halloween, there is a storm. Michael Myers escape from the mental institution in Smith's Grove, where he has been locked up for fifteen years, by attacking a nurse and stealing her car. Dr. Samuel Loomis, who is Michaels psychiatrist, describes him as pure evil. Michael hasen't said a word for fifteen years, only stared at the wall with empty eyes. Dr. Loomis is convinced Michael is going home to Haddonfield.
Next day, real estate agent Morgan Strode asks his daughter Laurie to drop off the keys to the Myers house under the doormat on her way to school. On her way Laurie runs into Tommy Doyle, whom she is babysitting that evening. He tells her not to go up to the Myers house. Something bad happened there a long time ago and the kids in town think it's haunted. As she is leaving the keys we see the shape of someone inside the dark house watching her. In class Laurie sees a person in a white mask standing by a car. It appears he is watching her, but when she looks back he is gone.
As Tommy is leaving school he is being taunted by some bullies. They try to scare him by saying the Boogeyman is gonna get him. Tommy haven't heard of the boogieman so he gets scared and confused. When the bullies take off one of them runs straight into Michael. Michael gets in the car and follows Tommy. Laurie walks home together with her friends Lynda and Annie. Annie is going to babysit Leslie just across the street from where Laurie will be babysitting Tommy. Lynda is seing her boyfriend but sais they might pop by sometime during the evening. Michael keeps stalking them, but Laurie is the only one who see him and the other girls make jokes about it.
Sheriff Brackett, who is also Annes father, is checking out a store break-in. He thinks it was probably some kids, since they only stole knives, ropes and some halloween masks. Dr. Loomis aproach him and tells him about Myers, how dangerous he is, and that he probably is in Haddonfield. Bracket is hesitant at first but agrees to go to the Myers house with Loomis. Somebody has obviously been in the house and they find a partially eaten dog. When they hear that somebody has stolen the tombstone of Judith Myers Dr. Loomis is sure it is Michael.
While babysitting Leslie, Annie gets a phone call from her boyfriend. He wants her to come and pick him up, so she leaves Leslie with Laurie and Tommy. Laurie and the kids are watching The Thing on TV (John Carpenter would direct a remake of this a couple of years later), and Tommy asks about the Boogeyman. Laurie is a little concerned when Annie never returns for Leslie but thinks she's probably having sex with her boyfriend, and will show up later. Lynda and her boyfriend show up at the house where Annie is supposed to be, and when they find the house empty they decide to borrow the master bedroom. Dr. Loomis is staking out the Myers house and Michael is staking out Laurie and her friends.
Halloween wasn't the first slasher film, but it became a genre model for later slasher films. I first saw it on the big screen and then it felt very new and original. Today 40 years later it doesn't stand out in the same way, partly since horror has evolved but partly also since so many later films has reused so much of the ideas that set Halloween apart, that it has become mainstream. It's still one of my all time favourites though. Bodycount is surprisingly low for a slasher: only 5 (+ one dog).

"Oh great brothers of the night, who rideth out upon the hot winds of hell,
Who dwelleth in the Devil's lair; move and appear!"
– Anton La Vey
Some critics had compared The Car to Jaws, and even called it "Jaws on wheels". When I first saw The Car years ago that was my first thought too, but in a good way. Just like the shark in Jaws it turns up and attacks out of nowhere, at first picking it's victims where there are no witnesses but slowly creeping closer and closer to populated areas.
When the car settles somewhere around the small desert town of Santa Ynez nobody is safe from it. It strikes out of nowhere at random much like a force of nature and not according to some human logic. It's a perfect predator.
Two teenagers on bikes, a hitchhiker passing by, and the town's police chief are among the car's first known victims. When the chief of police is attacked an old native american woman witness it all. She later claims there was no driver in the car.
We never really get any explanations for what or who or why, but Sheriff Wade Parent, who is leading the hunt for the killer car finds out the old woman was right. At one point the car attacks a parade rehearsal and everyone takes cover at the old graveyard. The car doesnt seem to be able to get at them as long as they stay there. Holy ground? It's inability to enter the graveyard and the introductory citation from La Vey indicates something supernatural. Maybe the car is possessed by the devil. We never really know.
Not only does it hit people on sight. It also takes out policecars by doing a barrelroll over them and it attacks people even in their own houses.

"Love knows no distance." The statement holds true when your brother is living miles away from you but you two still never fail to show care and concern for each other. Send Rakhi to Kolkata and let your brother know he is the greatest pillar of strength in your life.
Rakshabandhan, the auspicious celebration of the eternal bond between a brother and a sister, is right around the corner. And most definitely it is the time to bring a smile on the face of a loving brother who lives in the city of rosogullas; that is Kolkata. The Rakhi that you need to send to him has to be as sweet as white syrupy dumplings. But, to make a choice seems like a task, that too in the chaotic days of festivities when the markets are bustling with the scuttle. Do not worry at all, and send Rakhi to Kolkata online through our online Portal. At FlowerAura we have plenty of options, where you can choose the choicest threads. Along with love and some splendid rakhi for brother you can send flowers, chocolates, dry fruits even cakes of your choice to the heritage city of Tollywood and Trams.
Siblinghood is a magical bond that retains its purity, despite continuous fights, nuisance, and sudden patch-up. To foster this amazing bond of care among siblings overlooking distance we are here with our online rakhi delivery to Kolkata with same day rakhi delivery in Kolkata option available. All you have to do is to simply log on to FlowerAura.com, explore our collection of handpicked collection rakhis which are made of different materials (Kundan, American diamond, pearl, chandan, rudraksh, gemstones, silver, cartoon rakhi for kids), after choosing the preferred one you can place the order, our services include free shipping. You can adorn the rakhi pack with all the accompaniments, like roli tikka, Rakshabandhan special gifts, and sweet combos. Rakhi with chocolates will be a great idea if your brother is a sweet lover apart from that we have dry fruits and flowers for health conscious brothers.
You would believe it only when you experience it, that rakhi delivery in kolkata through FlowerAura is as easy and delectable as tasting a white spongy rosogulla! We will ensure that your token of love reaches your beloved brother's doorstep on time through our free home delivery service.
It is tough, without a doubt, when brothers and sisters live in different cities! Love and compassion crave for an expression, while the miles in between eat away the spirits. Yet, there always are some special occasions that help to pronounce the bonds with escalated spirits. Such are the festivities of Rakshabandhan, when sisters and brothers pour all the love, without holding anything back. For a brother in Kolkata, a city which is a daily festival of human existence in self, choosing the Rakshabandhan special gifts and sending rakhi online to Kolkata is a treat indeed for all the doting sisters. The exciting part is, all this and more is available at FlowerAura.com, and that too at just a few clicks.

Weave some enthralling stories while you order Rakhi with dry fruits online, and embellish it with Rakhi gifts and send them with all your love to the sibling who awaits your endearments. Wish you a Happy Raksha Bandhan.
We know you are quite far off from your brother and find it difficult to maintain the bond with him like you used to during your childhood days. You grew up and both flew to different cities leading to lesser communications. Besides, celebrating Rakshabandhan together got difficult due to the distance. But not that you have FlowerAura, be all set to celebrate the charm of the occasion with online Rakhi delivery in Kolkata from USA, UK, Australia, Canada, UAE, Dubai, Germany, Singapore and Saudi Arabia. With an extensive assortment of Rakhis at FlowerAura ranging from Zardosi Rakhi, Pearl Rakhi to Diamond Rakhis and Rakhi sets, find it all at FlowerAura with an ease of sending your love on Rakshabandhan in the form of love-filled Rakhis. The super smart express delivery is what made FlowerAura hugely popular as the best online gift destination.
So this Rakshabandhan, send Rakhi to Kolkata from USA, UK, Australia, Canada, UAE, Dubai, Germany, Singapore and Saudi Arabia and let your brother know that he is always in your heart, despite the distance. Show him how much he means to you with scintillating Rakhis from FlowerAura.
Both my orders were delivered on time i.e before rakhi, on 17th Aug. I am very happy with the services of Flower Aura. Best wishes.
Items are not expecting mark.
I was little dissapointed because i had to chase courier company to ensure rakhi and chocolate box is delivered on time as they didnt contacted the consignee to locate address,simply updated on their site unable to locate address. If i have booked rakhi with floweraura i expect them to follow up with courier company but i was dissapointed.

St. Thomas U enters the post-newspaper future
In April, I passed along the news that St. Thomas was killing off its venerable campus paper, the Aquin, and going all-in on the digital future with a new site, TommieMedia.com. It went live yesterday, and it's good-looking.
Of course, the "convergence site" is a multimedia deal, combining former print and TV staffs while blending in radio and p.r. for a single 40-person operation. J-prof Mark Neuzil (disclaimer: MinnPost contributor) believes St. Thomas is the first Minnesota school to completely ditch print, possibly the first in the country, and certainly the first college AP member to go all-online.
The site promises daily news content, and a quick spin around the site shows some nice video-text collaborations. The layout is remarkably clean and the RSS feeds are prominent. There are also Twitter and Facebook come-ons, though they weren't hotlinked. I'm surprised video isn't embeddable, and there aren't distinct links in the address bar.
While I remain a huge print fan, it's hard to argue with a future-oriented university attempting this. Like many publishers, Tommiemedia honchos promise more through synergy. It'll be fun to see if that petri dish produces results, and readers. By David Brauer | MinnPost

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's National Human Rights Commission says that it continues to find unaccompanied child migrants from Central America in the country's immigration detention centers.
The commission urged various government entities in a report presented Monday to better coordinate to ensure the best interests of the children are met. Its survey of 650 unaccompanied child migrants found that they continue to flee their home countries primarily due to violence.
The report blames Mexico's national immigration authority for not having specific protocols for handling unaccompanied child migrants as they move through the system. It says they should be housed only in government-run shelters specifically for children.
The report says more than 20,000 unaccompanied child migrants were detained in Mexico in 2015. More than 9,300 were detained from January to July 2016.

My talk from NEXT12 in Berlin.
22. and this is one way of filing your tax return in the US - it smells wrong, like it's a downloadedtemplate. Even the security certificate is attributed to the generic-sounding Free File Alliance.
34. BromptonBrompton make bikes. They're designers and makers.
35. And they're all still built in West London. they did look at Chinese manufacture, but it endedup being about the same price, and they'd lose all of their sales in China & Asia if they didn'thave this story and authenticity.
37. Moleskine started production in 1994. It's not an old brand. But they use a bit of slightlyweaselly copy to associate themselves with being 200 years old (fwiw, moleskine was thegeneric term used by artists to describe similar notebooks).
45. Historytag - the provenance of your individual object - they take photos of your jeans asthey're being made. They also embed the story directly in the product.
46. Nokia always wanted to be American, or Japanese. It just couldn't understand why it could orshould be proud of a long Finnish history.
48. http://www.enoughproject.org/conflict-mineralsall the way back to raw materials - tin, tantalum, tungsten both cause war and enslavechildren in the Congo - blood electronics. We don't own conflict-free electronics.
61. Kickstarter gives you the same design and format for every project... It's hard to discern whowill be good at making and producing. It's pretty easy to find someone to make you aconvincing video, harder to make products.
62. People have really lost their sense of smell as to whether the people behind a project will beable to keep their promise.
63. When I first saw pebble is sounded great but I knew how hard it would be to make.
64. ...so to see they'd got a prototype, and that they've done it before, that's when I pledged mymoney.
66. even at a base level, numbers.This says millions of people have not been fired for using Basecamp.
69. net-a-porterbut you can go further - this shows live shopping on net-a-porter.
72. 33 other people cannot be wrong.
74. countries countryingI love that this phenomenon has grown to promote countries, too.
75. IcelandIceland's not had much luck recently. And therefore not much money to promote itself.
82. ...that turns into a tumblr.
87. The whole campaign is just a small group of people given the freedom to create and make apersonality that tells you more about the country than glossy brochureware.
88. SwedenSweden started doing something similar, but even cleverer.
89. They give the @sweden Twitter account to a different Swede every week.
90. They get to talk about whatever they want.
92. Here's Sweden talking to New Zealand on twitter.
95. FGW TwitterThis started as just one customer support representative. People started having conversationswith her.
96. People aren't really expecting answers to rhetorical frustration.
97. first directFirst Direct have a great brand, but these responses are still slightly depersonalised.
98. AvivaHere's an insurance company. Look, there's Dave & Marv, they're who you're talking to.
100. Don't depersonalise as it growsResponse times to large customer support twitter feeds is slowing to days - the same asemail or web support. People like that Twitter support feels different to standard supportchannels.
101. could this be takenfurther?
103. gov.uk github?Again a disclaimer that I'm not talking on behalf of gov.uk... but most of our code is availableon github for people to see and even help develop.
104. But I want to talk about an even bigger project - Ford nearly got it right in 2000, maybe just abit too early. Ford wanted to give all employees a computer & internet connection - so theycould listen to real customers and even support them. If you have a brake problem, you wantto talk to the person who design the brakes, not a CS agent.
105. happy employeesAnd the only way you can open up like that is to have truly happy, engaged employees.
108. radical, personal authenticityThis is a radical, personal authenticity: the same authenticity and openness that start-ups canhave, scaled massively to the largest of companies. Hard to do but offers a genuineadvantage over your competition.
109. Thank you. @antimega anti-mega.comThanks.

When I read Shelby's remarks in a feature posted to the IAAF website, I was reminded of a wonderful song called "Hello My Baby" by Ladysmith Black Mambazo with Oliver Mtukudzi, the wonderful Zimbabwean singer, sharing the lead vocals.
I was at 24 Hour Fitness, running, very bored, on the treadmill when I heard "Hello Baby" for the first time. A smile came to my old mug, my ennui vanished, and my pace increased by a minute and a half per mile. When the song ended and the sullen environment of the gym and monotonous gray track of the treadmill once again intruded on my consciousness, my pace fell and my torporous mood returned.
I believe it's true; we just need to know where to find it, and not get sidetracked, in the words of the Johnny Lee song from Urban Cowboy, go lookin' for love in all the wrong places.
Okay, okay. If you think I've wandered far enough from the theme of this website, you ain't seen nothin' yet. But rest assured, it's all got to do with sports and running. Love is everywhere, and for those who can find it, it's a powerful ergogenic performance aid.
I was at Stanford from 1959-1966. I did well in school, until it began to be clear to me that nobody at the University seemed to be able to tell me the meaning of life. Whereupon I cruised in my courses and began self-educating by reading books outside the curriculum and discussing philosophy with a short circle of pals who were also seeking meaning.
Although our paths would part, I remember Denise's generous spirit. Crossing the Bay Bridge, she would always pay the toll for the car behind us.
It was a prank that made us feel happy and that I would reprise for years afterward. It seems perfectly natural behavior in America, but I reckon it would be rare in other parts of the world. When I remember Denise's spirit, my thoughts turn the generosity of the American spirit.
Here are some simple examples.
When Eileen Taylor pulled up to the counter in the drive-through lane at Starbucks, the counter clerk announced that the guy in the car ahead had paid for her coffee. Even though she was fifty-five and had just lost her job as a physician's assistant, she was inspired to pick up the $12 tab for the family in the car behind her.
What she didn't realize was that her kindness would go viral. Over the next two and a half hours, fifty-five drivers paid for the order of the person behind them. The coffee shop workers told a newspaper reporter that the incident was not rare, but that the customers had set a new record on that day.
James Robertson is a fifty-six-year-old Detroit factory worker who had to walk twenty-one miles and take two bus rides to get to his $10.55-an-hour job.
Hearing about James's hellish commute, the Detroit Free Press published a story about his plight. Whereupon a nineteen-year-old college student started a GoFundMe.com project to buy Robertson a car.
When Larry Clark stopped at a Texas Chicken Express drive-through, his credit card was declined. It seems he'd done so much shopping earlier in the day that the credit card company put his spending on hold.
The woman stepped in and swiped her card, paying the $214 bill, then left.
Hazel, age two, was admitted at Children's Hospital Los Angeles to be treated for a fast-growing tumor in her abdomen. To lighten the mood in her hospital room, the girl's mother spelled out "SEND PIZZA" on the window with masking tape.
A photo of the sign made its way to Reddit, where users ordered more than 20 pizzas to be delivered to the little girl's room. The hospital finally had to request that the deliveries stop.
A better surprise came months later, when doctors confirmed that the girl's scans were clear.
In these days of pandemic cynicism and selfish obsession with material wealth, it's inspiring to reflect on the generosity of spirit that has made this country great.
