Q: How to include a cpp file for all the function and classes but ignore the main function? I used to use python and now I'm shifting to c++ for efficiency. I used to have the habit to test the library file with a main function, just to make sure all the functions and classes are working fine. And
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

works really well even if I need to import the file for other codes.
However, I am not sure how can I do the same for c++. I know I can comment out main function in the library file before I want to include that file. But I would really like to know is there any equivalent method in C++.

A: First you shouldn't do it the python way but write a small test program to test your library. To design it the python way is not common in C++ and you will not make many new friends doing it.
But if you really want to do that, you can define main as a weak symbol.
int __attribute__((weak)) main() {
      [your code]
}

The linker will override any weak symbol if it finds a non-weak symbol. That trick is for example used by lex/flex to give you a generic main if you don't write your own.
As StoryTeller mentioned it is not in the standard and not available on all platforms. Especially not on Windows.

Read about how Africans use certain trees and animals as teaching aids, and as safety provision tools. All animals and trees offer different forms of aid in Africa. Examples include fish eagles that alert people when the Nile River is flooding.
Learn how individuals are taught to observe nature, preserve it and take advantage where possible. Most of these natural indicators are practised and observed throughout the continent as well as in other continents that gained this knowledge through research in Africa. For example, healing remedies like thobega, are practised worldwide to reduce amputations of legs and arms with a proven track record.
The author believes that we should practise harmonising nature and man as they work hand-in-hand, and the processes discussed have been observed for years and years and yielded good results considering the scarcity of modern tools, instruments and medical amenities.


Don't worry about trends and fads; make the décor of your kitchen reflect your personal taste. The look of your kitchen should make you feel good. Your kitchen should function in a dependable way and be a comfortable place in which to prepare meals. This is the biggest step you can take toward maximizing your chef skills.
Exert some effort and spend the time to find the accessories and accent pieces that will make your kitchen call your name. Do you like the country look—or the shabby chic look? Accessorize with baskets and fill them with your choice of dried flowers, growing plants, or fresh cut flowers. You can also fill a basket of fruit which will not just look attractive but serve as a healthy grab-it-as-you-go snack dispenser.
If you're the minimalist type, go for sleek and modern by taking advantage of the silvery gleam of stainless steel racks and hardware. Keep the kitchen spare and use only items and appliances with clean lines.
Your kitchen cabinets should fit with your chosen kitchen style. Keep in mind that paint is an inexpensive and easy way to change the look of your cabinets. Or you can strip and varnish the cabinets to go with the rest of your interior.
Another way to get a quick kitchen cabinet makeover is to change the hardware, such as knobs and handles, to get a brand new look. It's also possible to update your cabinets with some recessed interior lighting.
Other changes include switching your appliances for some new ones. Or you can dig your pots and pans out from your cabinets and hang them from a ceiling rack. This will improve the flow within your kitchen, too. A ceiling rack tends to make your kitchen look more busy and alive and gives you more storage space, too. Who can't use more storage space?
Tempted to change some architectural details? How about using some bead board paneling in your kitchen? This will make your kitchen look brand new without any need for a major remodeling job.
If you've gotten to this point, and still feel your kitchen needs a bit more "umph," it's time to check out the flooring to see if you should switch to something new. Looking for a cozy glow to make your kitchen a warm family hub? Go for a highly-polished hardwood floor.

Love at First Profile View: Hiring and Online Dating
The dating website eHarmony announced that it would be moving into the jobs recruiting market, touting that its relationship services will work just as well for job placement and recruiting.
While the initial outcry has been fierce, most companies already use social media for recruiting on a daily basis. As new platforms emerge and LinkedIn becomes a staple, there are still a few places where both recruiting and dating need to go further than chatting and profile viewing.
Both dating and recruiting are risky, time-consuming, involve some sort of special connection and necessitate meeting for the first time. For eHarmony, an algorithm will line up categories that match candidates, and after exchanging a few emails, they meet in person. But it's the in-person interview that gets the process rolling.
"The goal in interviews is to make a strong connection between the hiring manager's needs and what you offer," said Miriam Salpeter, a social media strategist, new economy job coach and author of "Social Networking for Career Success."
When trying to impress someone, however, candidates can come on too strong. HR recruiters tend to scoff at clich? lines such as "my weakness is that I work too hard and need to slow down every once in a while." In the same way, on a date, a guy or girl wants to be the "real me" and still come off as sleek as the Facebook profile.?
"I don't think it's really about 'being yourself' in a job interview as much as it is about clearly describing what role you can play in the organization and how you help solve their problems," Salpeter said.
First and foremost, for dating and recruiting, the candidate has to relate to the other person: how you fit in the person's life, not how the person will fit into yours. To show they are person, not a robot, candidates need to exhibit the character traits that correspond to the position they are proposing to fill.
"If they are good listeners, willing to laugh at themselves when appropriate and able to easily converse with new people, those are all good traits to demonstrate," Salpeter said.
Jessica Miller-Merrell specializes in workplace and technology strategy and blogs at Bloggins4Jobs. She warns against pretense in interviews and first dates.
"Don't try to be someone else. It's too hard and exhausting pretending. It's better to make the right choice than end up divorcing or leaving your job once you realized the role and company is not for you. This goes both ways, and employers need to accurately represent themselves too," Miller-Merrell said.
Everyone knows that hiring recruiters can find out about candidates' personal lives through posts and online activity. What everyone doesn't realize is that this is potentially illegal.
"Social media provides more personal information available, which could be a concern if they are making hiring decisions that are based on protected information," Miller-Merrell said. Hiring managers can end up committing what she calls "social media discrimination," where a recruiter uses information protected by law to influence the hiring decision. Protected information includes age, sex, religion, disability, genetic information, race, national origin and pregnancy.
"I'm a social media proponent, but I am cautious of how HR professionals and businesses should use it because I have been on the receiving side of a multitiered, class-action lawsuit," Miller-Merrell writes on her blog.
Another area that it is difficult to gauge via online algorithms is commitment.
"Most hiring managers want to hire someone who will stay," Salpeter said.
But it's not always easy to judge. On LinkedIn, for instance, recruiters might look at the length of time an individual worked at the previous position, identifying "pain points" or areas of concern and always confirming, or checking for feedback from customers. Salpeter adds that it's not all about what the candidate is offering.
"Recruiters can attract those seeking stability by offering stability themselves. Most people don't leave jobs, they leave bosses. Organizations who teach their supervisors to manage effectively and those who put time, effort and resources into developing their employees professionally and who value their people (beyond just saying "our people are our strongest asset") will go far in that regard."
These are functions that don't necessarily relate to the hiring process but are instrumental in making sure the choice is effective. Are you accurately representing the company? What do current employees say about their managers? Addressing these questions early on can effectively improve the recruiting process.
Another way to hedge risks against noncommitters is to meet the candidate halfway — to anticipate his or her needs.
"Many employees are seeking work-life fit and flexibility, and employers who value their top performers will adapt and adjust so their employees are able to manage their lives and their work," Salpeter said.
Finally, job boards and LinkedIn profiles don't necessarily allow a recruiter to gauge how an employee will fit into the workplace culture. This has to be accomplished through relationships — ascertaining how the candidate interacts with others, Miller-Merrell said.
"Get to know the candidate, be approachable and ask questions. You want the job seeker to be their real self, because this way you can make a better hiring assessment for the long term," Miller-Merrell said.

photo: Brett Murray / Metallica
Metallica performed their 2016 single, "Atlas, Rise!", at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX on June 11, and the band are sharing professional footage from the event.
The second single from "Hardwired…To Self-Destruct" topped the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart upon its release last fall as the band were playing warm-up dates for the WorldWired tour in South America.
The Houston date marked the start of the second month of Metallica's summer North American tour, which kicked off at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD on May 10.
The stadium shows will wrap up in Edmonton, AB on August 16 before the group heads to Europe for a fall arena tour.
That trek will begin with a September 2 show at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen – rescheduled from February due to illness – before playing Amsterdam on September 4.

Push Grows to Shift Some Resources From Policing to Public Health
Posted by Fierce Contributor | Jul 10, 2020
By Anna Almendrala, Kaiser Health News
From Boston to San Bernardino, California, communities across the U.S. are declaring racism a public health crisis.
Fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic's disproportionate impact on communities of color, as well as the killing of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police, cities and counties are calling for more funding for health care and other public services, sometimes at the expense of the police budget.
It's unclear whether the public health crisis declarations, which are mostly symbolic, will result in more money for programs that address health disparities rooted in racism. But officials in a few communities that made the declaration last year say it helped them anticipate the COVID-19 pandemic. Some say the new perspective could expand the role of public health officials in local government, especially when it comes to reducing police brutality against Black and Latino residents.
The declarations provide officials a chance to decide "whether they are or are not going to be the chief health strategists in their community," said Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association.
"I've had a firm view [that] what hurts people or kills people is mine," said Benjamin, a former state health officer in Maryland. "I may not have the authority to change it all by myself, but by being proactive, I can do something about that."
While health officials have long recognized the impact of racial disparities on health, the surge of public support for the Black Lives Matter movement is spurring calls to move from talk to financial action.
In Boston, Mayor Martin J. Walsh declared racism a public health crisis on June 12 and a few days later submitted a budget that transferred 20% of the Boston Police Department's overtime budget — $12 million — to services like public and mental health, housing and homelessness programs. The budget must be approved by the City Council.
In California, the San Bernardino County board on Tuesday unanimously adopted a resolution declaring racism a public health crisis. The board was spurred by a community coalition that is pushing mental health and substance abuse treatment as alternatives to incarceration. The coalition wants to remove police from schools and reduce the use of a gang database they say is flawed and unfairly affects the Black community.
The city of Columbus and Franklin County, Ohio, made similar declarations in June and May, respectively, while Ingham County, Michigan, passed a resolution June 9. All three mention the coronavirus pandemic's disproportionate toll on minority residents.
Those localities follow in the footsteps of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, which last year became the first jurisdiction in the country to declare racism a public health crisis, citing infant and maternal mortality rates among Blacks. The county's focus on the issue primed officials to look for racial disparities in COVID-19, said Nicole Brookshire, executive director of the county's Office on African American Affairs.
Milwaukee County was training employees in racial equity and had launched a long-term plan to reduce disparities in health when the pandemic hit. "It was right on our radar to know that having critical pieces of data would help shape what the story was," said Brookshire.
She credits this focus for the county's speedy publication of information showing that Black residents were becoming infected with and dying of COVID-19 at disproportionate rates.
Using data to tell the story of racial disparities "was ingrained" in staff, she said.
On March 27, the county launched an online dashboard containing race and ethnicity data for COVID-19 cases and began to reach out to minority communities with culturally relevant messaging about stay-at-home and social distancing measures. Los Angeles County and New York City did not publish their first racial disparity data until nearly two weeks later.
Declaring racism a public health crisis could motivate health officials to demand a seat at the table when municipalities make policing decisions, and eventually lead to greater spending on services for minorities, some public health experts say.
The public is pressuring officials to acknowledge that racism shortens lives, said Natalia Linos, executive director of Harvard's Center for Health and Human Rights. Police are 2½ times as likely to kill a Black man as a white man, and research has shown that such deaths have ripple effects on mental health in the wider Black community, she said.
"Police brutality is racism and it kills immediately," Linos said. "But racism also kills quietly and insidiously in terms of the higher rates of infant mortality, maternal mortality and higher rates of chronic diseases."
The public health declarations, while symbolic, could help governments see policing in a new light, Linos said. If they treated police-involved killings the way they did COVID-19, health departments would get an automatic notification every time someone died in custody, she said. Currently, no official database tracks these deaths, although news outlets like The Washington Post and The Guardian do.
Reliable data would allow local governments to examine how many homeless or mentally ill people would be better served by social or public health workers than armed police, said Linos.
"Even symbolic declarations are important, especially if they're accurately capturing public opinion," said Linos, who is running to represent the 4th Congressional District of Massachusetts on a platform of health and equity. "They're important for communities to feel like they're being listened to, and they're important as a way to begin conversations around budgeting and concrete steps."
Derrell Slaughter, a district commissioner in Ingham County, Michigan, said he hopes his county's declaration will lead to more funding for social and mental health as opposed to additional policing. Slaughter and his colleagues are attempting to create an advisory committee, with community participation, to make budget and policy recommendations to that end, he said.
Columbus City Council members coincidentally declared racism a public health crisis on May 25, the day Floyd died in Minneapolis. Four months earlier, the mayor had asked health commissioner Dr. Mysheika Roberts for recommendations to address health issues that stem from racism.
The recent protests against police brutality have made Roberts realize that public health officials need to take part in discussions about crowd control tactics like tear gas, pepper spray and wooden bullets, she said. However, she has reservations about giving the appearance that her office sanctions their use.
"That definitely is one of the cons," she said, "but I think it's better than not being there at all."

Can Her Black-Powered Crypto Make Gurus of the Next Generation?
By Molly Fosco
Tavonia Evans is bringing financial freedom to the Black community by teaching them to buy, trade and invest in cryptocurrency.
The Long Coin: An OZY Original Series on the Future of CryptocurrenciesThe Long Coin: An OZY Original Series on the Future of Cryptocurrencies
Several middle-school kids sit on gray upholstered office chairs around white tables, clacking away on their laptops, but with eyes sharply focused on the woman at the head of the class. A sea of black and brown faces, the children are enraptured by Tavonia Evans, as she teaches them how to use cryptocurrency — and how it can make them rich.
A two-decade tech entrepreneur and mother of eight, Evans, 44, spotted the potential for cryptocurrency early on. "When I first heard about bitcoin, I realized it meant financial freedom and additional sources of funding," Evans says. But her plans were bigger than bitcoin — Evans wanted to launch her own cryptocurrency. And in 2017, she did. Ahead of its formal launch, Atlanta-based $GUAP — its name is drawn from urban slang for having a lot of money — has more than 2,500 wallet holders (users) on the platform and runs on its own blockchain. One $GUAP coin is currently listed at $44 and there are now just under 9 million coins in existence, out of a maximum total supply of 90 million. By comparison, there are approximately 17.6 million bitcoins in circulation (now priced around $5,000 each) and only 21 million that can ever be mined in total.
Evans believes that crypto is the key to increasing Black wealth in the U.S. African Americans are responsible for $1.2 trillion in purchases annually, according to Nielsen. But a 2009 research project known as The Empowerment Experiment found that less than 3 percent of Black purchasing power is spent on Black-owned businesses. Evans is out to change that by teaching both kids and adults how to increase their personal wealth with cryptocurrency, understand exactly where their money is going and use that knowledge to invest in Black-owned businesses.
Even if $GUAP isn't around forever, teaching people how to use crypto is such a powerful tool, Evans says, that it will "help eradicate poverty within the next century."
A New Yorker by birth, Evans grew up on Long Island in Amityville, of horror movie fame. She was positive she'd either be a lawyer or an actor — career aspirations that her mother, a caseworker with the city of New York, and her father, an artist, supported. "My parents came from an era where it was very difficult to be what they wanted," Evans says, so they encouraged her to follow her own path. After attending Brooklyn Tech High School and then going to Central Georgia Technical College, she instead fell in love with the problem-solving nature of coding and the technology industry (her parents were cool with that too).
After moving south and getting an IT gig at Georgia State University in 2000, Evans worked as a web developer for software companies throughout the Atlanta area. In 2007, she launched a digital agency and development firm called She Interactive while continuing to work independently as a developer. Running a business came naturally to Evans, so she decided to keep going. In 2015, she co-founded Safe2Meet, an identity and background verification platform. But $GUAP was something different.
Evans realized the potential power of crypto but knew it would only work for her community if they knew how to use it. In the classes she teaches at AEI StartUp Factory just outside Atlanta in Lithonia, Georgia, Evans has different approaches by age group. "With children, I approach it from a gaming perspective," she says. That's what keeps them engaged. "With adults, I talk about how it builds worth," she says. "Crypto is a game-changer because they [crypto owners] can support businesses in the community and actually see the results of it."
Evans photographed at home with her children.
The $GUAP platform collects and analyzes transaction information pulled from the blockchain so that users can see the growth of Black-owned businesses as well as understand potential financial risks. The currency will officially launch in May, after $GUAP's point-of-sale infrastructure is complete. But it already has merchant partners on board, like Soultanicals, which sells natural hair care products.
Nathan Dillard, founder and CEO of National Black Business Directory (NBBD), a business solutions platform, partnered with Evans last year to bring blockchain to his platform. NBBD is integrating $GUAP's blockchain technology into its business directory software, and business owners on the platform will accept $GUAP alongside traditional currency for products and services of equal value. By funding and circulating the currency throughout NBBD's merchant network, it will encourage consumers to support community businesses, grassroots organizations and historically black colleges or universities (HBCUs), says Dillard. "$GUAP will be the cryptocurrency that gives back, not only ensuring consumers will save but that they will have access to funds to build and thrive."
But the road ahead won't be easy. "This is a fiercely competitive environment," says David S. Bieri, associate professor of urban affairs and principal research associate for the Global Forum on Urban and Regional Resilience at Virginia Tech. "For all the promises of a grassroots revolution, in many instances, it is not entirely clear what the value proposition of a number of these cryptoassets really is," he says. More importantly, Bieri says, there are still too many unknowns. "Cryptocurrencies are unlikely to satisfy the requirement of trust to make them sustainable forms of money." For example, in 2017, the aggregate market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies increased by more than 3,200 percent. But bitcoin, the most popular cryptocurrency in the world, also underwent four drops in value of at least 20 percent within six months.
Evans agrees there is still too much mystery when it comes to crypto, but she's aiming to change that. Even if $GUAP isn't around forever, teaching people how to use crypto is such a powerful tool, Evans says, that it will "help eradicate poverty within the next century."
It's a bold claim, but for Evans, it's written in the stars. Licensed in cardology, Evans sells readings in the study of the ancient science of playing cards, and she also offers astrology readings under the name Aquarius Maximus.
The inspiration for $GUAP originally came from a spiritual awakening that told her she needed to create another form of digital currency to empower the African diaspora.
Somehow, in between helming several businesses, teaching and reading the future, Evans finds time to spend with her eight children ranging in age from 8 to 24 — though having four out of the house now does make time management a little easier. "We love going to the movies and playing virtual reality (VR) video games," says Evans, who raves about the Oculus Rift and the underestimated potential of VR.
If Evans has her way, $GUAP will expand internationally and cryptocurrency will be as ubiquitous as credit cards one day.
As long as she can convince the world it's real money.

Malaysia Airlines CEO objects to shutting down airline
Published 1 month ago on 02 June 2019
BY MELANIE CHALIL

SEOUL, June 2 — It is not a good idea to shut down Malaysia Airlines, CEO Izham Ismail said, as he called for investors to boost the flagship carrier.
"Shutting down Malaysia Airlines would be a wrong move. This is my personal opinion, not the views of the organisation, the shareholders or its board of directors," he said here.
Instead, Izham said he welcomed investors to come on board to help with the national carrier's turnaround.
"I always advocate that moving forward, any organisation or business should have partners.
"As the CEO, I welcome these synergies, because not only do they invest in the airline, they bring in new culture and could guide Malaysia Airlines in combating the future market," Izham said.
Izham was speaking to Malaysian press members here during the 75th International Air Transport Association (IATA) annual general meeting.
He explained that the idea of selling the airline and having investors were equal in his eyes.
"Can you shut down Malaysia Airlines overnight? It will cost a lot.
"Do we sell hundred per cent of shares to them? Because that's equivalent to shutting down Malaysia Airlines.
"Are you brave enough to take on the liability of Malaysia Airlines? You'd be so stupid," he said.
The first-time CEO said he was open to investors as long as the interested organisations can help bring Malaysia Airlines to the next level in the form of funds, knowledge and experiences.
"Malaysia Airlines might not be profitable, but organisations, stakeholders, companies that give services to Malaysia Airlines are profitable.
"That itself is a GDP positive," he said.
While Malaysia Airlines employs 13,500 staff, Izham said it was important to take into consideration the airlines' vendors and service providers, bringing the figure up to 400,000 people who would be affected if the airline were to shut down.
Moving forward, the airline will focus on its long-term business plan, currently awaiting approval from the board members of the airline's sole shareholder, Khazanah Nasional Berhad.
Izham said the sovereign wealth fund will announce its decision at month-end or July.
"Without revealing too much, one of the plans encompasses strengthening our premium services.
"We need to renew and restructure our Asean business proposition," he said.
In March, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the government was considering shutting down Malaysia Airlines among other options, including selling or refinancing the loss-making national airline.

Q: How do I select nodes that DO NOT have a particular child node? A rather simple problem... XML Fragment:
<bean id='Juicer'>
    <property name="electric">
        <value>false</value>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id='Oven'>
    <property name="electric">
        <value>true</value>
    </property>
    <property name="wattage">
        <value>1000</value>
    </property>
</bean>

I'm trying to write an xpath query that will select all beans that do not have a <property name="wattage">.
I cant figure out how to say "beans not having this child" in xpath.
Note that I cannot rely on the "electric" property to be false each time the "wattage" is absent. (also, this example is kinda contrived).
Thanks :)

A: Okay, after a little digging i figured it out:
//bean[not (property[@name='wattage'])]

Simple indeed :P

A: Try
//bean[not(property[@name='wattage'])]

A: In case the current node is the parent element of the bean elements, one XPath expression that selects the wanted elements is:
bean[not(property/@name = 'wattage')]

This is probably the simplest such expression (has only a single predicate).
This expression translated in English says:
Select all bean children of the current node for which no name attribute of any of their property children is the string "wattage".

A: //bean[not(@name = 'wattage')]


Ambiguity, the existence of multiple plausible (though possibly contested) ways of making sense of the characteristics of decision situations, can present significant difficulties for a wide range of risk management tasks. We will argue that ambiguity is present in risk management situations to a far greater extent that is commonly appreciated. The concept of ambiguity has arisen in different forms across disciplinary literatures and domains of practice. In this paper, we situate our experience of finding ways of supporting planning and decision-making processes concerned with ambiguous risks in the context of those wider perspectives. Our own efforts have employed a hybrid form of problem structuring methods (drawn from operational research and management science) and ethnography (drawn from sociology and anthropology). These engagements with organisational and inter-organisational risk management issues have led us to recognise that 'untangling' otherwise intractable risk management problems may be regarded, in some sense, as a therapeutic process. In this paper, we develop this therapeutic interpretation of the untangling of collective ambiguities using illustrations from a concrete problem situation. We set this therapeutic reading of decision processes in the context of wider perspectives, including those drawn from Habermas' theorisation of communication, the sociology of science and the literature on citizen engagement and deliberation processes.


There was a slight period in our early married life when we struggled a bit with the basic necessities, but once I started to get paid in my government job and my husband's freelancing career took off, we had the basic necessities taken cared of.
This was also the time I stumbled into the exciting world of personal finance so I was fired to shore up 6 months worth of expenses into a savings account, take out life insurance as investment, and buy stocks.
In short, I was taking on "Security/Safety" and "Accumulating Assets" at the same time. But more than that, I also dipped my toe into the "Enhance Life" tier of the pyramid by saying yes to regular travels, fixing up our condo units, splurging on jewelry, etc. etc. etc.
So when the real emergencies came one after the other, my emergency funds were easily depleted and I had to sell my stocks and take out loans just to make ends meet.
Fortunately, the storm has ended and we're still standing. Sure, my emergency funds are currently non-existent but the bulk of my consumer loans will be paid off before the year ends and with the upcoming windfalls, I can even start rebuilding our emergency funds by next month.
I have since realized that I shouldn't have spread myself too thinly while getting my financial house in order. The millennial mantra of having it all, has no place in building up your financial future. Slow and steady, with repeated mindful acts geared towards the goal of financial independence, are what will get you the prize.
Ideally, you should go from one tier to another, focusing all your energy on finishing one step before moving to the next one. But I find that tackling two tiers at a time is workable as long as I focus most of my energy and resources towards the lower tier, and then slowly shift the balance towards the higher tier as I accomplish more of the lower tier.
For example, we already have the "Basics Necessities" covered so we can move up to the "Security/Safety" level. However, since we still have consumer and personal loans to deal with, those have to be demolished first before we can start building up our emergency funds. There is thus a need to create a sub-tier between "Basic Necessities" and "Security/Safety" for our case.
The majority of our financial efforts currently revolve around "Basic Necessities" and "Debt Payment" but once the end of year bonuses come in, I can allot a small portion of that towards "Security/Safety" while reserving the bulk towards "Debt Payment" until our consumer and personal loans are fully wiped out.
In the same vein, once all non-mortgage debts are gone, we can go full throttle on the "Security/Safety" tier and then slowly start inching towards the "Accumulating Assets" tier (i.e. start buying stocks and mutual funds) once I have a substantial amount for emergency expenses safely tucked away.
Again, achieving financial independence is not a sprint and there's no need to try and do everything at the same time. Control your emotions, take your time, and make small but repeated mindful acts that have the effect of positively affecting your net worth. And two tiers is ok, but three is no way.
Very useful advice Jill.. I also try to exercise a little restraint in my allocation decisions..
Thanks George! It really pays to be mindful in allocating resources, as it will definitely save you from future frustration.
Extremely useful post here, Jill. Truly appreciate you being a relevant blogger to Pinoys (emphasis on relevance, as there's a ton of FI blogs that are out there that cater to the US sized incomes and expenses).
Personally, I think I straddle Accumulating Assets and Security/Safety. I recently bought extra insurance coverage for myself with a hospitalization rider attached in addition to what my company has for me. But I am also purchasing a couple of lots in addition to our current house. I plan to also purchase a studio condo in January for Airbnb purposes. Stretching here a bit but I am confident the cash flow will cover the purchases. (which reminds me to post a NW update soon).
Here's to our journey to FI!!!
I hope you write about your experiences as an AirBnB host if your planned condo purchase pushes through. That's something that I'm also interested in since there's a big chance we'll be vacating our condo units in about 2 years time and we don't know yet what we'll do with them.
And yes, here's to our FI journey!
Thank you for this post! One reason why I love reading your blog is that you are so relatable. My road to FI is not smooth sailing as I hope to be because more than once a lot of unexpected expenses pops up which disrupts my financial plans. Currently I am juggling 3 steps – Security / Accum Assets / Enhance Life – and it is making me stress especially since unexpected expenses is popping up and my Security is dwindling down. I really need to evaluate my financial priorities and get back to the basics.
I constantly evaluate my financial priorities too, since I find that they change every so often but my core values and goals remain so it's nice that I can keep on referring to them to guide me when my bad habits start creeping in again.

Chief Boxing Champions returns today around evening time with a card from Minneapolis, featured by a super middleweight battle between Peter Quillin and Caleb Truax.
Live inclusion begins with the prelim sessions on FS2 at 8 pm ET, and proceeds on FS1 for the primary card at 10 pm ET.
Quillin (34-1-1, 23 KO) is a previous middleweight titleholder whose profession kept running into a divider as Daniel Jacobs in Dec. 2015, with Jacobs ceasing him in only 85 seconds. The Brooklyn contender was out of boxing for just shy of two years, and has battled only multiple times since the misfortune.
Truax (30-4-2, 19 KO) is a previous super middleweight titleholder, going to England to annoy James DeGale in Dec. 2017. He would lose the belt back to DeGale in a rematch in April 2018.
On the off chance that both of these folks need to remain in the blend at 168 at the present time, this is an absolute necessity win battle, plain and basic.
The FS1 part of the card will likewise highlight an IBF middleweight title eliminator between Sergiy Derevyanchenko (12-1, 10 KO) and Jack Culcay (25-3, 13 KO), in addition to 19-year-old junior middleweight prospect Joey Spencer (6-0, 6 KO) in against Osias Vasquez (4-2, 0 KO).
On FS2, we'll see lightweight Chris Colbert (10-0, 3 KO) take on Mario Briones (29-8-2, 21 KO), just as welterweight Jose Miguel Borrego (14-2, 13 KO) against Hector Ambriz Suarez (12-9-2, 6 KO).


If you're like us, you're probably thinking a lot about how this year's flu season might affect you and your community. To help you out, we at Google.org are excited to announce the expansion of Google Flu Trends to 16 additional countries, including much of Europe. We've also made the site available in 37 languages. Flu is a global threat, affecting millions worldwide each year, so we're pleased to make this tool available in more regions and languages.
Last November, we launched Google Flu Trends in the United States after finding a close relationship between how many people search for flu-related topics and how many people actually have flu symptoms. By tracking the popularity of certain Google search queries, we are able to estimate the level of flu, in near real-time. While some traditional flu surveillance systems may take days or weeks to collect and release data, Google search queries can be counted immediately. Google Flu Trends provides an additional surveillance tool that may help public health officials and the public make more informed decisions about preparing for the flu season.
In the past year, we've expanded our coverage to include Mexico, New Zealand and Australia and have continued to see a good correspondence between our estimates and official flu activity data. In fact, our analysis of last season shows that Google Flu Trends had a close 0.92 correlation with official U.S. flu data.
If you visit Google Flu Trends for the U.S., you'll notice that the flu season is starting early this year. For tips on how to stay healthy this season, please visit our friends at the U.S. CDC and the ECDC.

ANDREW WATSON The World's First Black Football Superstar
Tony Talburt
Foreword by Lord Herman Ouseley
Today, seeing Black footballers playing the game at the very highest level is considered very normal. This, certainly, was not the case one hundred and forty years ago, and this is what makes the story of Andrew Watson so remarkable.
It seems hard to imagine that a Guyanese-born Black man could head the Scottish national football team in 1881 in a game against England. Not only was he captain, but he also led them to a 6-1 victory in London – an achievement that still ranks as England's heaviest ever defeat on home soil. If this were all that Watson had been able to accomplish, most people would agree that he should be commended for being the world's first Black person to captain a national football team. But there was so much more. He was the world's first Black football administrator, as well as the first Black player to win three national cup winners' trophies.
During the 1870s and 1880s, when Watson played, he was regarded as one of the finest players in Britain. The word 'pioneer' is often used to describe certain players, but this would certainly be a most fitting expression to encapsulate the remarkable achievements of Andrew Watson.
This book reflects upon the legend, legacy and pioneering endeavours of a truly great Black British football superstar.

It doesn't matter if you've made one dollar or one million dollars from your art, one thing will always hold true: you can never stop working. The key to being a successful creator is not dependent on how much talent or luck you have.
It depends on how much effort you are willing to put in. It depends on how persistent you are. It depends on showing up every day to do the work.
Sure, talent also plays a role, but there are millions of talented people who never find success. Sure luck plays a role, but luck can only get you so far. Hard work, directed in the right place can take you farther than talent and luck ever could.
We all want to believe our work will speak for itself. We keep hoping and praying them someone will come along and discover us. But what if we are discovered? What if someone came to you and made all of your dreams come true? Would you stop working? What would you do?
Just ask all the one hit wonders what a few minutes of fame did for their careers. Are they still rich? Are they still adored by fans? Nope.
In order to build a sustainable career as an artist, you must keep going. You have to show up and do the work. Artists like Usher know how to stay on top. They are constantly creating new work. They innovate and try different things while everyone else becomes stale. They are willing to put in the hours while everyone else is taking it easy.
You may not want to be rich and famous like Usher, but everyone would love to be respected like he is. It doesn't matter whether or not you like his music, you can still admire the fact that he has been able to build such a sustainable career.
You can do this too. You just have to be willing to put in the work to make it happen.

Billington, Elizabeth (née Weichsel)
Billington, Elizabeth (née Weichsel), famous English soprano; b. London, Dec. 27, 1765; d. near Venice, Aug. 25, 1818. Her mother, a singer, was a pupil of Johann Christian Bach, and Elizabeth, too, had some lessons with him. She received her early musical training from her father, a German oboist. She also studied with James Billington, a double-bass player by profession, whom she married on Oct. 13, 1783. Her operatic debut took place in Dublin (1784), as Eurydice in Gluck's opera. She went to London, where she appeared as Rosetta in Love in a Village at Co vent Garden on Feb. 13, 1786. Her success was immediate: she was reengaged at Covent Garden and also sang at the Concerts of Antient Music in London. Her career was briefly disrupted by the publication, in 1792, of anonymous Memoirs attacking her private life. This was immediately followed by an equally anonymous rebuttal, "written by a gentleman" defending her reputation. In 1794 she went to Italy, where she sang for the King of Naples. He made arrangements for her appearances at the San Carlo, where she performed in operas by Bianchi, Paisiello, Paer, and Himmel, all written specially for her. After her husband died in 1794, she remained in Italy for 2 more years, then lived in France, where she married M. Felissent. Returning to London in 1801, she sang alternately at Drury Lane and Covent Garden, with great acclaim, at 4, 000 guineas a season. This period was the peak of her success. She retired in 1809, except for occasional performances. After a temporary separation from Felissent, she returned to him in 1817. They settled at their estate at St. Artien, near Venice.

When I read my older writing out loud, I get mad because I hear mistakes that I should have originally caught.
For example, a few years ago I wrote a 60 episode blog serial called "The Literary Girlfriend," and it was based on stuff that actually happened. When I finished the series on my blog, I thought I had the foundation for a potential book, but now when I reread it, I hear/see a bunch of scenes that need to be rewritten.
Below is a video where I read one of my former favorite episodes of "The Literary Girlfriend" out loud. I treat this video like an ideal writer's group where we'd hand out a copy of the excerpt to everyone and read a passage aloud before receiving feedback.
Reading out loud was more uncomfortable than getting criticism, but it's an important part of the process. If you don't want to hear my voice (I don't like it either), you can mute the video or read the story here instead.
The video's version is slightly different because I got rid of all the profanity in the dialogue. I didn't want video of me saying bad words, even if it's in dialogue. There are too many people who don't understand context (or don't care), and I'm still a little paranoid about things like that.
What do you think? Is the profanity in the dialogue necessary? Or does the sanitized version still sound realistic? I know what I think, but I'm interested in other opinions.

Godinterest » Blogs » Why John D. Rockefeller Could Teach Christian Millionaires?
It's been said: If you're a believer in Christ you need to shy away from the trappings of wealth and affluence. Christian millionaires or "Christian (gasp!) billionaires" are not good role models. And that is completely true.
Well…it turns out you can be a Christian millionaire (or billionaire), love God, and do great things in the world.
According to a study from the nonpartisan wealth research firm New World Wealth, of the 13.1 million millionaires in the world, 7.4 million, or 56.2%, identify themselves as Christian.
6.5% who identified themselves as Muslim.
3.9% who identified themselves as Hindu.
1.7 % who identified themselves as Jewish.
In other words: IT IS possible to love God, do His work, AND be affluent.
And one person who exemplified that was John D. Rockefeller.
Some historians will paint him as simply a ruthless, greedy businessman.
He was a devoted father.
His "monopoly" brought order to an industry full of discord.
He loved the Lord and his philanthropy was birthed out of that love.
In this post we're going to delve into the lessons future Christian millionaires could learn from Rockefeller.
Rockefeller wanted options for his life and the life of his family. He understood how money would give him those options.
… and he did this because he learned how to give at an early age.
"It has seemed as if I was favored and got increase because the Lord knew I was going to turn it around and give it back.
There is enough statistical data that shows a correlation between tithing and wealth.
I AM saying that there is story after story of affluent people who loved God, who testify to the power of tithing and giving. So whether you are a millionaire or just starting out…learn to give now.
He knew from early on that money was important. But he also knew he wanted to be the master of money— not its servant.
Rockefeller was a hard worker. When he worked as a bookkeeper he would sometimes put in 12 hour days. But even while he was an ordinary laborer he would trade his own money in different futures and commodities.
In other words, he was always looking for ways to put his money to work.
It implies active, detailed trading that "buys right" and then knows just when to exchange.
"Gain by business trading" till I come.
"Be busily engaged in making trades" till I come.
"Increase by trading till I come.
Which of these Rockefeller lessons are you going to implement today?
Are you going to focus more on wealth?
Are you going to strengthen your never-ever-give-up muscles?
Or maybe you're going to start tracking your money like John D. Rockefeller.
Either way let me know by leaving a comment below.

Meet Jackson Mayoral Candidate Daniel Mahoney
by: Samana Sheikh
Posted: Aug 3, 2021 / 10:40 AM EDT / Updated: Aug 3, 2021 / 10:40 AM EDT
JACKSON, Mich. (WLNS)— Commissioner Daniel Mahoney represents District 7 in the city of Jackson and recently announced he's running for Mayor of the city of Jackson.
"What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong," Mahoney said, "and I'm not afraid to speak my opinion and speak my piece on where I stand on an issue."
Mahoney was born and raised in the City of Jackson and is married to his wife Semaj Mahoney with five children. He says part of the reason why he's running is to make the community a better place for his girls.
Mahoney's top priorities are public safety; neighborhood revitalization, extending economic development work in The City of Jackson's downtown and fixing the roads. Mahoney has become a prominent figure in society with his numerous roles in the community.
"There are 20 boards that I could list that I've been involved in," Mahoney said. "I think mental health is a very important and much-needed space for people who can properly advocate for those… I'm also currently on the Michigan works consortium board, I'm the vice-chair of that board."
Mahoney says as county commissioner he has learned how policy is impacted by listening to conversations, and what the community needs.
Mahoney says he's running for mayor because a majority of the concerns his constituents need help with he does not have the power to address.
"As a county commissioner because most of their issues and concerns are things that have to be addressed by the city council, at the city level not at the county level," Mahoney said.
Mahoney also wants to dive into some areas of the community he says other individuals might be afraid to touch.
"There's a very high rate of violent crimes in the City of Jackson a lot of gun violence, a lot of shootings and I think the most traditional and immediate answer a lot of people would look to is say 'well we need more police," Mahoney said. "We need more boots on the ground; we need more police presents, we need more people arrested, we need harsher punishment for those individuals creating the crimes and committing the crimes, and that's the solution to this problem…It is my belief that is not the solution to the problem."
Mahoney says the background of an individual can play a major role that can contribute to gun violence.
"We're actually creating more of an issue by only addressing the end cause which is the shootings that are happening," Mahoney said. "You know the real issue behind most of the shootings is at the end of the day poverty, and if we're not looking at addressing poverty for some of the individuals within this community who don't have a way out, who don't have hope, then we're really just perpetuating a cycle of violence."
Mahoney says his passion for policy, history, and justice makes him the right candidate to serve as future Mayor of the city of Jackson.

ENCINITAS — An argument on Saturday, April 6, at an Encinitas home took a violent turn when a man was stabbed by his own son, deputies said.
The dispute happened around 4:30 p.m. Friday at a home near the intersection of Saxony and Normandy roads in Leucadia, San Diego County Sheriff's Sgt. Brett Garrett said.
A father and son got into a shouting match, which soon exploded into a physical confrontation before the son stabbed the father, sheriff's deputies said.
Paramedics took the father to a hospital, where he was treated for a single, non-life-threatening stab wound and reported the incident, according to information from Garrett.
The son fled the home after the attack.
Deputies headed to the house and searched the area for the suspect using a helicopter and police dogs, Garrett said, but he was apparently able to escape without a trace.
The Sheriff's Department was continuing to search for the suspect, but his name and age were not released.

- Dr. Brian Scully for spearheading the mission, taking good care of dad, keeping a close eye.
-Fr. Bob Connor for taking care of my dad's spiritual needs.
I would like to begin with a quote which my father used at his own father's memorial mass. It is a quote from St. Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei. I quote: "…the only goal is to arrive at the glory of heaven. And if we did not reach heaven, the whole thing would be useless." This was a good quote to use because it will help us understand my father's approach to life and all that it encompasses.
Let's start at the beginning. He was born a son in 1953 to Lucio and Catalina Calungcagin.
As a son, he truly honored his father and his mother. He was obedient and respectful. Even as their roles changed, and they reached an elderly state, he continued to be a loyal son, never talking above them, but remaining always at their service.
As a brother, he was a close friend and a great confidant amongst his siblings. And being the middle of seven, he was also a good mediator. I have been told he was their calm, serene, gentle voice of reason. He lived his family life with humility, always concerning himself with their needs before his own.
As husband, he was my mom's best friend, as he was her best friend. Throughout their marriage, they always maintained the courtship of their youth. As quoted from my parents' wedding invitation from June 1980: A line from St. Josemaria: "I constantly tell those who have who have been called by God to form a home to love one another always, to love each other with the love of their youth." Someone said the other day; they would see my parents after so many years of marriage, still holding hands, like a young couple. I've heard how their marriage was admired by many, and some aspire to love each other in marriage the way they have. Within our family, his wife, my mom, was his number one priority. He did his children a great service by showing us his love for our mother. He would always make her laugh, with their inside jokes, and with his straight-faced one-liners.
As a father, he was our provider and our protector, never wavering, always constant, always present. He showed his sons how to be men of virtue: Respecting others, honoring commitments, working hard, staying humble, talking care of others, and always remembering to give any personal glory back to God. He fostered a love for music within my brother, teaching him how to play the guitar. They would stay up late, jamming away to James Taylor & Eric Clapton. He fostered a love for sports within me, baseball, basketball, boxing, tennis. He would always take me to watch Tyson pay-per-view fights, or whip me around the tennis court. There was never a day I saw my dad stagnant. He was always moving, going to work, working on the house, landscaping, he surely had a green thumb, bringing any wilting plant back to its healthy state. He also grilled a mean steak. That common caricature we hear of the "lazy dad on the couch," that was never him. You would always hear him downstairs loudly clapping and cheering on the Yankees and Giants, but if anyone needed him at that moment, sports was the last thing on this mind. He showed his daughters, by loving our mother, the qualities of a man, which they should seek to, marry, should that be their calling. He raised strong daughters, showing them how to command respect and carry themselves with dignity. As an older brother, that made my life a lot easier. He taught us all this, sometimes with words, but always through action.
The women in the family were his treasures. He would never let my mom or sisters do the driving, always ensuring them to their destination, also maybe because he didn't trust their driving. Rain or shine, he would always pull the car up for them. During the week, he would wake up an extra hour earlier than he should, only to see my sister out the door and wish her a nice day at work. He was a proud grandfather of eight, and God-willing still counting, a True expert at putting the children to sleep, effortlessly. Always holding, hugging, and squeezing them. Where he left off with us, own children, he picked up and continued on with his grandchildren. As an uncle to many, his presence was like that of their own father. He would play with them, coach their teams, teach them, and drive them around. He was there to clean up scraped knees, and rock them to sleep. To his nieces and nephews, he stood as strong role model in their lives.
As a friend, relative, and a man in the world, he lived with integrity. The man, who you saw at the workplace, was the same man we saw at home. The man you saw at friendly gatherings was the same man you saw at Sunday mass. He lived a unity of life, never having a dichotomy of personality, truly consistent in all things in his life. He was a charitable man, volunteering at various functions, always helping the community around him. He was truly a Good Samaritan. One night a boy ran up to our door bloody and beaten. He had escaped his own father's home, asking for help. My dad took him in, changed him out of his bloody shirt, and gave him one of his own. He fed him, made some phone calls, and ensured him to safety. On another occasion, my mom and dad were driving, and witnessed a car crash, without second thought, my dad ran over to the car, pulled the door open, and rescued a woman and her child. He aided them as they were bloodied and injured, until medical help arrived. At a more personal level, he truly connected with people, speaking with them as if they were the only person in the room, taking genuine interest in their interests. At gatherings, if there was anyone remotely feeling displaced, lonely, or off-to-the-side, there you would find my dad engaging them, making them feel welcome and at home. I recall a family gathering, where a particular relative was going through a rough patch, and perhaps even intentionally isolating themselves from everyone. It was not before long; there you would see my dad, in the corner with them, engaging in a gentle conversation, perhaps comforting them, seeing them eye-to-eye, and empathizing with them. Letting them know they were not alone. Some of you relatives are probably thinking, "Who was it?" But over the years, it may very well have been many of us. My father "flew under the radar" throughout his life. No ego, no bravado. No grand entrances, no grand exits. Always passing unnoticed, never calling attention to himself, but he was ever-present, in the middle of the world, having yet another meaningful encounter with someone.
We could ask ourselves, "What drives a man to live life with such virtue?" If I may, I'd like to share an experience I had with my father, which helped me understand how my father lived his life. I was in my early 20's working a temporary office job. With my dad in the kitchen, and me in sitting in the dining room, I asked my dad, "How do you do it? Because here I am, staring at a computer screen from 9 to 5 and I feel miserable working, it's not fun, I don't enjoy it, and I think I'm going to go crazy if I had to do this for the rest of my life." And he said to me, "That's how you earn Heaven, with Love. No matter what you do, whether you enjoy it or not, you do it with Love. With the big things like work, or little things in everyday life, you do it with Love. If it happens to be something you like, you do it with Love. If it is trying and difficult, you do it with Love. You can hold a high position in society, you can cure many diseases, you can be one of the richest people in the world, you can even enjoy what you do, but if you don't do it with Love, you cannot earn Heaven." My father was a man of Faith. He never referred to himself as a "Man of God," but rather, a "Child of God." Yes, a child, like a little child, the kid that runs to his parents for everything. At work, during his lunch hour, before grabbing his favorite slice of pizza, you would find him running down from #2 World Financial Center over to Daily Mass down the street, going to see his Christ in the Eucharist, praying for things, asking for things, like a child would. On his train ride commute, you would find him reading the Gospel, getting to know his Faith. Though he may have appeared to be sleeping on the train, he would be engaged in mental prayer, meditating on his Faith. Every Tuesday night, he would receive the sacrament of Reconciliation, always going to weekly confession, asking for forgiveness, and beginning anew, hoping and praying for a better week ahead. In the car, before turning on the news, or listening to music, he would pray the Rosary, running to the Virgin Mary, his mother, seeking comfort and solace. All these daily practices, helped him prepare him for his greatest feat, his encounter with HLH, Lymphoma, and the daily grind in the ICU for almost 2 years. Tired, confused, and frustrated, my father took his stance, doing his very best to take on what was to come.
The diseases took a heavy toll on my father's body, breaking him down severely. The fevers, the pain, the discomfort, I couldn't even imagine. But attached to every pin-prick of the needle, attached to every tube that was inserted, every grueling headache, and body sore, there was a name attached to it. A name, a person, he was offering up the pain as prayer for that person. For every new pain, there was a new name, always offering up his pain for everyone. Maybe for me, maybe for you, but here he was, uniting his suffering with Christ's suffering on the Cross. Any brief moment he was aware of, he recited the Hail Mary, again, and always, running to the Virgin Mary, his mother, for comfort. Even from the hospital bed, he was asking how others were doing, asking when a certain friend was getting married, asking how work was, inquiring about people's well-being, still continuing to live his life from the ICU with Love. Moreover, he brought so many people closer to God. I've been told by his good friend Vincent, there are hundreds of people praying for him. People, who haven't spoken to God in years, were suddenly reaching out to God on my dad's behalf. Vincent would go on to add, that the word of my dad's illness had spread, and there were hundreds of people on 6 of the 7 continents praying for my dad.
Midway through his stay, in one of my mom's last conversations with him, she said, "Jess, I wish I could switch places with you." My dad replied, "But why?" She said, "Because you've been through so much…" He stopped her there and said, "No, God has his plan for you. This is God's plan for me. Everything will work out the way it's supposed to, and everyone will benefit from this." My dad took his last breath on a Saturday, a day dedicated to the Virgin Mother, September 26, 2015 at 10:43pm, in the ICU at New York Presbyterian Hospital. So as we enter in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, let us not only remember my father, Jess Gascon Calungcagin, but let us reflect and meditate on how we too, can live our lives with more Love, and how we can give glory to God by uniting ourselves to the Cross.

Thank you for all the feedback from our special literature activity The Mitten. The yeladim still want us to read it in the kitah and we surely will!
Morah Jill came on Monday morning for our special music class. The yeladim had the opportunity to use bell chimes to represent snowflakes "falling". We loved to walk around the gym pretending to be snowflakes! Just like we do in our kitah, but we dance like snowflakes!
We talked about the snow that will be coming and the yeladim had so much fun making a scenic snow picture. This time they were able to make "snowflakes" by dipping rubber rings in white paint and tapping them on black paper. Cotton "clouds" were added in the sky and our scenic winter picture is complete!
We are still enjoying playing with the "snow" that we made last week.
In this week's Parsha, Parshat Bo, we learned about the last three Maccot that Hashem sent to the Mitzrim. Arbeh, grasshoppers were the eighth Maccah. They ate all the food in Mitzrayim!
The ninth Maccah was Choshech, darkness. The yeladim closed their eyes and they yelled that they could not see anything. The Mitzrim could not see anything either! It was so dark that no one was able to move!
The tenth Maccah was the worst one of all. All the first born Mitzrim became very sick. So sick that finally King Paroah yelled at Moshe and told him to let all the Yehudim go! Moshe could not believe it, but he told the Yehudim to leave Mitzrayim very fast before King Paroah changes his mind!
Thank you to Ezra's daddy for coming in as our library guest.
We hope everyone has an amazing vacation!
