Q: Java+Jackson : How to serialize a object containing array/list of other objects I am trying to generate following json dynamically on the basis of input params i.e (content's version, list of content Ids)
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
       "must": [
        {
          "term": {
            "version": {
              "value": "published"
            }
          }
       },
       {
          "terms": {
            "contentId": [
             "contentId-123",
             "contentId-456"
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

The above json is a query body for elastic-search delete request.
version and contentId mentioned in above json are actual fields/attributes of content object or data model.
I am getting this exception while serializing the object:
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerationException: Can not start an object, expecting field name

    idParam.values = Arrays.asList("contentID-1", "contentID-2", "contentID-3");

    List<SearchParam> mustParams = Arrays.asList(versionParam, idParam);

    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

    SimpleModule module = new SimpleModule();
    module.addSerializer(SearchParam.class, new SearchParamSerializer());
    module.addSerializer(DeleteQuery.class, new DeleteQuerySerializer());
    mapper.registerModule(module);

    DeleteQuery deleteQuery = new DeleteQuery();
    deleteQuery.mustParams = mustParams;

    String serialized = mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(deleteQuery);
    System.out.println(serialized);
}

Reference:

I did little bit tweaks in code (e.g. inside SearchParamSerializer.serialize(), rearranged the jsonGen.writeStartObject() and jsonGen.writeEndObject() with respect to value.isMultivalued() condition), but still not getting result as expected.
After googling and stack-overflowing a lot, I got few links, but they talk more about Gson library, and/or are in python.
Any help!

A: By the way, did you have a look to this API : https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/index.html?

A: My workaround to proceed for now.
Modified DeleteQuery and DeleteQuerySerializer as below:
class DeleteQuery {
    List<String> mustParams;
}

class DeleteQuerySerializer extends StdSerializer<DeleteQuery> {

    protected DeleteQuerySerializer(Class<DeleteQuery> t) {
        super(t);
    }

    public DeleteQuerySerializer() {
        this(null);
    }

    @Override
    public void serialize(DeleteQuery value, JsonGenerator jsonGen, SerializerProvider provider) throws IOException {
        jsonGen.writeStartObject();
        jsonGen.writeObjectFieldStart("query");
        jsonGen.writeObjectFieldStart("bool");
        String mustParam = String.join(",", value.mustParams);
        jsonGen.writeFieldName("must");
        jsonGen.writeRawValue("[" + mustParam + "]");
        jsonGen.writeEndObject();
    }
}

And, here is dummyTest():
public void dummyTest() throws IOException {
    System.out.println();

    SearchParam versionParam = new SearchParam();
    versionParam.fieldName = "version";
    versionParam.isMultivalued = false;
    versionParam.value = "published";

    SearchParam idParam = new SearchParam();
    idParam.fieldName = "contentId";
    idParam.isMultivalued = true;
    idParam.values = Arrays.asList("contentId-123", "contentId-456", "xyz");

    List<SearchParam> mustParams = Arrays.asList(versionParam, idParam);

    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

    SimpleModule module = new SimpleModule();
    module.addSerializer(SearchParam.class, new SearchParamSerializer());
    module.addSerializer(DeleteQuery.class, new DeleteQuerySerializer());
    mapper.registerModule(module);

    List<String> mustParamList = new ArrayList<>();
    for (SearchParam param : mustParams) {
        mustParamList.add(mapper.writeValueAsString(param));
    }

    DeleteQuery deleteQuery = new DeleteQuery();
    deleteQuery.mustParams = mustParamList;

    String serialized = mapper.writeValueAsString(deleteQuery);
    JsonNode jsonNode = mapper.readTree(serialized);
    String s = mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(jsonNode);
    System.out.println(s);
}

Finally, got this output:
{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": [{
                "term": {
                    "version": {
                        "value": "published"
                    }
                }
            }, {
                "terms": {
                    "contentId": ["contentId-123", "contentId-456", "xyz"]
                }
            }]
        }
    }
}

This is not a proper solution, but yes I am unblocked now and can continue further. :)

Winter Weather Phenomena Causing Extreme Weather | will it snow in florida
In addition to snow, lake-effect weather systems can impact lakeside communities with thick ice. … [+] Just a few weeks ago, houses along the shores of Lake Erie were literally encased in up to three inches of ice as a result of gale-force winds and 15-foot waves from a strong weather system passing over the lake.
For most of us, this is the time of year we typically experience the most extreme winter weather, but winter has looked a little different this year, as extreme weather continues to hammer portions of the country with a variety of strange events from atmospheric rivers to falling-iguana warnings. These strange and sometimes beautiful events can create some of the most awe-inspiring nature scenery but can be dangerous and deadly. Here's a quick look at the most interesting winter weather phenomena we've experienced already this season and how they've impacted regions around the country.
Atmospheric Rivers
California is being pummeled right now by a series of deadly storm systems called atmospheric rivers. Atmospheric rivers are relatively long, narrow regions in the atmosphere that transport water vapor out of the tropics. When an atmospheric river make landfall, it typically releases the water vapor as either rain or snow. Atmospheric Rivers are not a new phenomena and are frequently relatively weak systems that can be counted on for contributing to annual precipitation, but these storms can produce massive amounts of precipitation creating flood risks, particularly in the western United States when a barrage of these storms affects the same area for weeks.
This season, a series of seven different atmospheric rivers have hit California since New Year's Eve and just this past weekend, there were eight million people under flood watches in coastal California. The flooding, mudslides and landslides from these storm events have oversaturated land and caused more than 400 landslides since December 30 and nearly 20 storm-related fatalities have been reported across the state since the end of 2022, which is higher than the death toll from the state's wildfires over the past two years. Fortunately, it appears much of California will be getting a reprieve through the end of the month as the main storm track shifts further north into Oregon and Washington.
Lake-effect Snow
On the other side of the country, the Great Lakes region of the country is none-too-familiar with the winter phenomena of lake-effect snow and it's the only place in the country where this happens. Upstate New York and the cities of Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse are the most common targets of these massive snowstorms. Lake-effect snow happens when cold air, typically from Canada, moves across the Great Lakes and as it passes over the lakes' unfrozen and relatively warm waters, the warmth and moisture is transferred into the atmosphere. As that lower portion of a storm system becomes warmer, the less dense air rises and leads to snow on the U.S. side of the Great Lakes. Just last month over the holidays, Buffalo saw lake-effect snow which brought more than 50 inches of snow to some areas, and nearly 50 deaths as a result.
These same weather systems can also impact lakeside communities with thick ice, and just a few weeks ago, houses along the shores of Lake Erie were literally encased in up to three inches of ice as a result of gale-force winds and 15-foot waves from a strong weather system passing over the lake.
Falling Iguanas
The holidays also brought about unusually cold weather in Florida and resulted in Miami's office of the National Weather Service issuing an unofficial warning for falling iguanas.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, this is a real phenomenon that happens when temperatures fall into the 30s and 40s. When the cold-blooded iguanas get too cold, they fall into a catatonic state and literally drop from the trees. These cold-blooded reptiles typically rely on a warmer air temperature to regulate their own body temperature, and these cold snaps leave Florida residents dodging falling iguanas until temperatures rise back into the 50s.
Bomb Cyclones
While bomb cyclones aren't particularly rare, this oddly named weather phenomenon is a quickly strengthening weather system and has recently impacted portions of California along with the atmospheric rivers. A bombogenesis, or bomb cyclone as it is commonly called, happens when the barometric pressure drops at least 24 millibars in 24 hours; basically, the lower the pressure goes, the more powerful the storm. The bomb cyclone moniker has been used for more than 80 years and was formalized in 1980 with the publishing of an article in the American Meteorological Society's Monthly Weather Review. In the article they called it a bomb because it develops "with a ferocity we rarely, if ever, see over land."
A snow bomb cyclone in late December which impacted residents and businesses from the Midwest, southern and eastern states brought holiday travel to a standstill and knocked out power for more than 1 million customers. Earlier in January, the remnants of a bomb cyclone storm that struck off the California coast brought up to 48 feet of swell and sustained winds of more than 70 mph, causing damage to homes, businesses and tourist attractions in Santa Cruz.
With plenty of winter left we will continue to see a variety of weather across the US through into early February. Fortunately, an upper-level ridge will build over the western states ending the barrage of storms and allowing this area to recover a bit. Further east, several winter storms will spread moderate to heavy snow across portions of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, with each of them tapping into deeper moisture to the south continuing the threat for winter severe weather events. At the same time, the major cities of the Northeast U.S. will continue their relatively snow-free winter as rain spreads up the coast with these systems.
So, while we expect snow and cold in the winter, it's important that to have awareness of the potential challenges from extreme weather events, which are not likely going away. Business and civic leaders need to be prepared for ongoing challenges with these strange, but extreme weather events, not only in the context of public safety, but also the impact on business operations and productivity.

Guest Blog Post: A-F School Letter Grades
In The View from the OEP on September 17, 2014 at 11:56 am
Guest Blog Post by Jeff Dean, Office of Innovation for Education
In April 2013, the Arkansas Legislature passed Act 696 (Ark. Code Ann. § 6-15-2105), which requires the use of A-F school letter grades on the state's annual school report cards it issues for schools. The subtitle of the law states that letter grades are intended "to clarify for parents the public school rating system on annual school report cards." Letter grades will replace the two-category school rating system established by Act 35 of the 2nd Extraordinary Session in 2003 (Ark. Code Ann. § 6-15-2012-2013).
Precisely because letter grades are easily understood by everyone, they are potent. A-F letter grades aren't inherently good or bad. They greatly increase the public visibility of the ratings placed on schools. If the underlying rating system is deeply flawed, then letter grades make things worse by increasing the impact of bad ratings. The inverse is also true: a good system can make a greater positive impact by the use of highly visible letter grades in place of more ambiguous labels.
Arkansas joins fourteen other states that have developed letter grading systems for schools. These letter grading systems have met with varying degrees of success over the past fifteen years. Those that have succeeded have had to strike an acceptable balance of simplicity, fairness, and meaning. They need to be simple, in order to be explained and understood by the public. They should be fair, so that schools are not penalized or rewarded for factors beyond their control. They also should be meaningful, so that leaders, educators, and communities can use them to guide and motivate improvement. No single priority can be satisfied perfectly. Given this tension, finding the right balance may seem like "Mission: Impossible", but this need not be the case.
What's simplest is not always best. Act 696 charged the State Board of Education with adopting "rules necessary to implement" an A-F system, giving the Board latitude to hear and approve a new model for school ratings. If the Board failed to adopt a new model, the letter grades assigned to schools would default to align with the labels given schools under federal accountability (ESEA Flexibility). This is the simplest possibility of all, given current accountability. Exemplary schools would earn an "A", Achieving schools would earn a "B", Needs Improvement schools would earn a "C", Focus schools would earn a "D", and Priority schools would earn an "F". Hypothetically, if schools earned the same Flexibility labels in 2014 as they did in 2013, then only eight schools in Arkansas (out of over 1,000 schools total) would earn an "A". The state would have 137 "B" schools, and 75% of all schools in the state (790 schools) would earn a "C".
This distribution, although compliant with state and federal law, does not meaningfully describe and differentiate among Arkansas' public schools. There are also problems of alignment. Focus schools, for instance, were identified by a different set of criteria (achievement gaps) than schools with other labels. To put those five labels on a continuum (which letter grading implicitly does) is misleading. Assigning a "D" to Focus schools implies that they are somehow less effective than "C" and more effective than "F" schools, when the issue at question for Focus schools is not effectiveness but equity. Simple, perhaps, but hardly fair or meaningful.
Given the possibility of these outcomes, the state decided to develop a grading model that would replace the repealed rating system, as well as provide more appropriate differentiation among schools as compared to ESEA Flexibility labels. Beginning in September 2013, policymakers and stakeholders were brought together by the Department of Education to discuss concerns and possibilities for school letter grades. School leaders stated a preference for a model that was intelligible to the public and that offered schools multiple ways to earn their grades. Veteran stakeholders of student testing and school accountability were anxious to improve upon past models yet not create a model that would be so different as to cause confusion. All parties realized an overriding need to balance simplicity with fairness, two factors which are in tension in any sort of rating system.
The end result of this process was a grading system consisting of up to four components:
Weighted Performance. Proficiency rates only consider whether a student scores above or below the proficiency cut point. Weighted performance gives additional consideration to other cut points. Schools earn points for students scoring Basic rather than Below Basic, as well as Advanced rather than Proficient.
ESEA Improvement. Schools earn points by meeting ESEA Flexibility targets (AMOs) in up to six categories, depending on size and grades served: Literacy – All Students, Literacy – TAGG Students, Math – All Students, Math – TAGG Students, Graduation – All Students, and Graduation – TAGG Students.
Four-Year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (where applicable).
Gap Adjustments (where applicable). Schools with above-average gaps between TAGG and non-TAGG students on achievement and/or graduation receive a penalty. Schools with smaller-than-average gaps receive a bonus. Schools with average gaps receive no adjustment.
By drawing upon measures and concepts that should be familiar to Arkansas leaders and educators, the grading system aims to be meaningful; a complete reinvention of school accountability would perhaps be so different that it would be less meaningful to those familiar with accountability in Arkansas. But the model also represents a refinement of measures that are familiar to Arkansas leaders and educators. It differentiates meaningfully among schools. And ultimately, it translates into a letter grade that has meaning for the public, for whom the law was intended to provide clearer information. It seeks to give a fair chance to all schools regardless of the challenges they may face. While people may fairly disagree on the merits of the model, it nonetheless represents the best efforts and input of a wide variety of stakeholders and policymakers around the state.
Perhaps the most important test of fairness for any grading model is its relationship to student poverty, a disadvantage over which schools have very little control. If school grades are highly correlated with poverty, then those grades say far more about the challenges schools face than they do about schools' effectiveness in educating the students that walk in the door. In the model proposed by the Department of Education to the State Board, the correlation between schools' grades and poverty levels is -0.36, which as a rule of thumb is considered modest. This modestly negative correlation tells us that schools with higher poverty rates sometimes tend to receive lower grades. Yet among all models considered, the one that was chosen exhibited the lowest correlation with poverty. Using some basic statistics, one can show that a correlation of -0.36 implies that only 13% of the differences in school grades can be accounted for by school poverty levels. The remaining 87% of variation arises from factors other than poverty. When the Office of Innovation examined these sources of variation, we found that school letter grades explained about 40% of the variation in student achievement (math and literacy) between schools after accounting for demographics including poverty. While this doesn't show that the grading system is perfect, it does show that it clears a fundamental hurdle in terms of fairness.
One of the concerns raised frequently by educators and policymakers is what to expect with letter grades given the arrival of the new PARCC tests this school year. A new test certainly presents challenges, and no one will know what effect the tests will have on letter grades until students actually take the test. But the A-F law, as well as the proposed model, gives full freedom to the State Board and the ADE to make adjustments as necessary to ensure a fair distribution of grades. The transition may require a "pause" in letter grades during 2015 to establish baselines for future improvement targets. To ensure schools have an opportunity to improve upon their 2014 letter grade, other methods could be used during the transition year to identify improvements in schools, and where appropriate, assign a higher grade for the pause year.
Looking beyond the first year of PARCC tests, the state will have the opportunity to use a more refined model of student learning growth which, if given greater emphasis, could compare schools with advantaged and disadvantaged populations in a way that improves upon the current model. As with any transition, uncertainty lies ahead, but the hope is that with a new test the state will be able to refine the proposed method for letter grades as well as the method for determining federal accountability. The transition will allow the state to integrate new possibilities while drawing upon the lessons learned from past models.
The goal of the process for determining letter grades remains the same: to balance simplicity with fairness while providing meaningful differentiation among schools. The goal of the letter grades which result from this process also remains the same: to clarify to parents the public school rating system. Whatever course our state chooses to pursue, giving attention and weight to the priorities exampled here will make our mission far more possible than we previously thought.

But why? Why is this necessary? So schools can be more readily identifed as failing? Is this (grading schools) not a repeat of what we already know from the various OEP reports, etc?
Helen Back 18 September 2014 at 10am
It is necessary because the Arkansas Legislature passed a law, Act 696, which requires it. If the state had chosen not to develop a new model and instead had simply translated ESEA Flexibility labels into A-F letter grades, then more schools would be identified as C, D, and F than under the model that has been proposed. The proposed model, if it is approved by the State Board, will have more A and B schools than would have resulted if no model had been developed and grades had defaulted to align with Flexibility labels.
Some states use A-F in alignment with their federal accountability as required under the ESEA. In this case, a state has one accountability model fulfilling both state and federal law. This simplifies the range of information before the public on school performance, but it also increases the consequences attached to letter grades.
Jeff Dean 18 September 2014 at 1pm
Don't get me wrong here, the how that you described sounds as good as it could possibly be; I'm just concerned that the original intent of the law–clearly something out of your hands or mine–is wrong and should be returned to the legislature to rethink or discard. Thanks for the post and for responding to my questions!

"Jointly Innovate Excellent Free Software Enabling People to Communicate." – The TYPO3 Project's mission. The TYPO3 project has grown from one product to a family of products in 2012. TYPO3 CMS is an enterprise-class Open Source Content Management System built with PHP and has a 10 year development history. Besides the current TYPO3 CMS the TYPO3 community has, in the past years, developed a PHP application framework called Flow. TYPO3 Flow supports features like Dependency Injection and Aspect Oriented Programming. TYPO3 Neos, a new CMS based on Flow, with WYSIWYG on page editing is currently one of the main family members of the TYPO3 family and was released in a first stable version end of last year. Because of its Danish origins the majority of the TYPO3 developer community is located in Europe and especially in Germany, but TYPO3 is enjoying a growing popularity in Asia, Africa, and the Americas recently. There are about 500,000 installations of TYPO3 CMS world wide including high profile websites of large companies such as Lufthansa, Volkswagen, T-Online, DHL, 3M, General Electric, and Stanford University and many government sites to name a few. TYPO3 CMS has been downloaded over 7 million times. Highlights of TYPO3 CMS's feature set are its complete separation of content and design, a fine-grained permission system, a WYSIWYG rich text editor, an integrated versioning and workflow system, frontend / in-site editing, integrated search engine, dynamic navigation menu generation, dynamic graphics generation, standards compliant output and single source publishing, multi-language support, advanced caching system with reverse proxy support, and user registration. In addition an open API enables very versatile options for developing extensions and additional functionality. The main goal of the TYPO3 Association is to support core development of the TYPO3 Open Source Content Management System on a steady basis and to improve the transparency and efficiency of various aspects of the TYPO3 project.
Extend and improve the EXT:Coreapi EXT:coreapi is a TYPO3 extension which provides several helper/services and a CLI Api for some common tasks in TYPO3, like clearing the caches or running the "database compare tool".
Integrate TYPO3.Form.FormBuilder in Neos as module The goal is to create a basic solution for creating, managing, and organizing forms in Neos easily by using its powerful TYPO3.Form.FormBuilder as a backend module. This module should have a simple way to create new forms, browse and manage already created forms. The solution should be usable and friendly to all beginners. Users should be able to categorize forms and search by those categories.
socialConnect - Social Media (Multi Channel) Publishing Connector for Neos socialConnect is multi instance publishing tool for Neos,It will solve the issue of posting similar data on different sites and networks,specific content types can be created to automatically create update and mirror the same data on the target social network.


When I stress – I eat yeast.
Potato chips in my hand?
but then again, LIFE. She is funny.
But I wouldn't be attracted to being fat – again, if each pound yielded money.
Is a book I need in my low moments of yummies.
I didn't eat the full SNACK SIZE bag of chips in the 24-hour day.
I ate a few and walked away. I came back several times during the day.
At the end of 24-hours a half bag of chips did lay.
So, um, I think I did… okay.
That was Monday. It sounds rough but I won in the end.
I handled the weight of several lives with no buckle or bend.
I had to 'do what I do' and dammit I did it.
Love by the pounds. When there's a need, I give it.
I did and it wore me out! I slept like a baby last night.
I woke up this morning refreshed and feeling blessed. What a delight.
How was your rest? Did you destress and what have you got up for the day?
Feeling like it's really Friday. My work is shaping up – I want to play.

Q: How to activate a derived type by name? We got a scenario where we need to create a type by name (string). We use activator for this, but because the type is unknown at compile-time we assign it to a known base-type. But what we actually need is for the object to behave as it's real type. See example:
void Main() {
    // Scenario A
    ShowType(new Derived());

    // Scenario B
    var derivedType = Type.GetType("Derived");
    var derived = Activator.CreateInstance(derivedType) as Base;
    ShowType(derived);
}

void ShowType<T>(T obj) {
    typeof(T).FullName.Dump();
    RaiseEvent(new Event<T>());
}

void RaiseEvent(Event<T> obj) {
}

public class Base {}
public class Derived : Base { }

What this returns is the following:
Scenario A: Derived (good)
Scenario B: Base (bad)

How can I get scenario B to act as scenario A? (ie. make ShowType actually get the Derived object)
Calling obj.GetType() does give the type we want, but in the real situation we're calling another method in ShowType which takes a generic type argument, so not sure how to solve that using a Type.

A: The variable derived is actually of type Derived. The problem is in generic method which takes compile time type. To make work your example you can cast it to dynamic to force using runtime type.
ShowType((dynamic)derived);

P.S. In this case you should take in account the performance concerns related to dynamic.

A: This happens because derived variable is declared as Base type and in ShowType() method you are working with T (which is Base), not the object obj.
ShowType() should be like this:
void ShowType<T>(T obj)
{
    obj.GetType().FullName.Dump();
}

Have you ever had an evening that wasn't suppose to amount to much, but turned out to be magic? I love those.
I am full of hidden prejudices. I'm working hard to rid myself of them but the fact is that I have preconceived notions about some people. I am predisposed to dislike certain types. It's ugly and unfair.
For instance, politicians. In my mind, politicians are inherently prone to corruption and are not to be trusted. The fact that you would even want to be a politician is an indication that you have a flawed personality. If one of The Daughters marries a politician, I will fell like I failed them.
I was in the city for an interview. Afterwards, I was meeting someone for dinner, but the dinner fell through at the last minute. I sent out a few text messages on my way to the train station and received an invitation to meet a friend and his girlfriend for drinks. They were drinking in one of those unique Manhattan pubs. It's a converted barge that's anchored off the 26th Street pier. They were outside on the upper deck. You walk along the side of the ship to the stern and then up a spiral staircase. Cool breeze. Sun setting over New Jersey. The Hudson River slowly floating by. The pub gently rocks. To hell with the train, I decided.
My friend's girlfriend represented the Dominican Republic in a recent Miss World competition. I've seen pics of her and have been wanting to meet her (OF COURSE). She's a beauty queen. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of beauty pageants? Yeah, me too. JonBenét Ramsey, the nauseating world of child beauty pageants and vapid contestants.
In person, she is so stunning that I was taken aback when I first sat down. Once I regained my composure, I realized that she was speaking in complete, coherent sentences, despite the fact that English is her second language. (She taught herself English by watching TV. She speaks three languages to my one). She couldn't have been more charming and down to earth. Funny. A good listener. She told interesting stories about living in China for 40 days while in a pageant.
She can't work in the U.S. because of some immigration documents that haven't been processed yet. What does she do with all that free time? Does she walk up and down 5th Avenue and spend my friend's money as quickly as possible? Sit all day and chat with models? Nay. She volunteers. She took it upon herself to find where she could be of good use to the underprivileged. Nobody was looking over her shoulder. It wasn't to bolster her resume.
Quick to judge. Slow to understand. I wonder what else I'm wrong about?
By the time we left, the boat was packed, packed, packed with the after-work city drones. We walked down the spiral staircase and there was a narrow path out through the crowd. We had to walk single file, my friend first, then his girlfriend, and then me. As we walked through the crowd, I saw men and women freeze in their spot and just stare as she passed by. As though they couldn't believe their eyes.
….and you did get her number right? Please do not leave it here for the love of all things horny!
i have the same bias. by the end of the evening, i'm sure i would have been smitten as well… bar sounds pretty neat. on my list of things to do!
Uhm, where's the picture?The last time I was in NYC, we had to make an emergency run to H&M to get something I had forgotten to pack(absolute worlds worst packer here) and there was a couple in there that was unbelievably stunning. I barely remember the woman who was beautiful, because the man outshone her. He was young, maybe 25, but dressed in the nicest suit I've ever seen, and he was super tall, like 6'8″. I still wonder about him today. What was his story. Those people in that bar will not soon forget the pleasure of seeing Friend's Girlfriend.
Jimmy: I am celebrating 13 years of fidelity with Mrs. Wife. (Do you think that was easy? For either of us?) I am certainly not going to tarnish my unblemished record with my friend's girlfriend!!Daisy: We need to drop the attitude, don't you think? You'll love the bar. It's like no other.Cat: It's so funny you should say that! I was DYING to take a picture of us and post it, but I was afraid it would annoy my friend. She's not a bauble to show off. He has feelings for her. But, Lord, it would have been great to attach a photo to this post.
It sounds like the perfect evening, especially the drinks on the barge…and yea, it did make me think about how I spend my time.
Interesting anecdote. There are reasons why people come into our lives – briefly or for extended periods of time – and it seems like meeting her has helped you identify something in you that required a bit of growth or evolving.You painted a vivid mental picture of the barge/bar for me. Thanks.
Suzanne: The beauty of the evening was that it was completely unplanned. It took me by surprise. They don't happen often, but when they do…Tome: I am more of a cynic. I think that meeting people and important events occur in your life randomly and without reason. But it's good if you learn something from them.MT: Yes, she did try to tell us over and over. SHE never use to judge anyone! She had an open heart.
I think this is something we are all guilty of UB. I wonder how many of us would have become friends in the 'real world'?:¬) Have a great weekend pal.
Well I'm in love just reading this. So I can imagine the swooning in person.I have dozens of prejudices, most of them easily dismissed when I'm confronted with the reality of someone.And yes–I love those surprise evenings of serendipitous magic.
Map: Now, ain't that the sad truth? And most of us don't even know it.I turned myself to face meBut I've never caught a glimpseOf how the others must see the fakerLeah: I, too have dozens of minor prejudices that amount to nothing but, sadly, there ARE a few that require my immediate attention.
How did the interview go?Looking forward to the story about meeting an honourable politician (I share this particular prejudice).Nice you met someone who didn't fall into the Bukowski stereotype of beautiful women. Like everyone, I know lots of women who are attractive, but once, I worked with a (lovely) woman who was totally stunning. She was really fed up with the way she was perceived.
PG: The interview went very, very well. Thank you for asking. Don't hold your breath waiting for my post about an honest politician. And kudos for the Bukowski reference!HIF: Is that true? Can you tell me how many years exactly? I'll set an alert in my phone.Lori: You know what they say. Admitting it's a problem is the first step. At least I have some self-awareness about it. And 10,000 THANK-YOUS for your thoughtful comments in my previous post.
Nice story UB. We have some great volunteers where I work too, I admire people who give up their time to help others.Also, I remember a visit to Melbourne when I was waiting at a cafe for my sister to arrive. As she walked towards me, people were stopping in their tracks and turning to stare at her, she looked like some glamourous old time movie star, it was a lovely moment in time…..
Fabulous story. Sounds like it was an excellent afternoon. Plus, it's a good reminder about the true nature of beauty and why we should care about looking for it in the places that are not so readily accessible. Bravo = well done.
Nurse: That's a great story about you sister! I'm average looking and have always wondered what it would be like to walk down the street and turn heads.Point: It was a lesson in how I stupidly size people up by the way they look. Mental note to self: grow up.Nick: I'm surrounded by ladies. Drowning in them, in fact.
I have a special relationship with the DR (My Man and his family). Another famous beauty from the island republic is the lovely Zoe from Star Trek and Avatar fame.
Politicians have to prove themselves before they earn my trust. Until they do, I'm predisposed to thinking that they are sleazy, self-serving, assholes.
LOL! I was also wondering why there wasn't a photo of her. And yep, I'm totally guilty of the same thing. I always pleasantly surprised when a gorgeous women is smart, independant and SWEET.

Home Projects & Expansions Renewable, H2 & ESG DOE announces up to $44MM to advance enhanced geothermal systems
DOE announces up to $44MM to advance enhanced geothermal systems
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) field laboratory announced up to $44 million for projects to develop and test technology to foster innovation in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS).
Geothermal energy has the potential to provide electricity as well as direct heating and cooling to tens of millions of homes nationwide. While a small fraction of the United States' vast geothermal resource can be harnessed via naturally occurring hot water or steam, the vast majority is inaccessible without the creation of human-made EGS reservoirs. Substantial and sustained investment in technology development is vital to EGS commercialization, which can significantly increase geothermal energy deployment and help the country meet its climate goals.
"The United States has incredible, untapped potential for clean geothermal power to help meet our energy needs with a round-the-clock resource available across the country," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. "These new investments at FORGE, the flagship of our EGS research, can help us find the most innovative, cost-effective solutions and accelerate our work toward wide-scale geothermal deployment and support President Biden's ambitious climate goals."
Managed by the University of Utah, FORGE is DOE's dedicated field laboratory for developing technologies to create, sustain, and monitor EGS reservoirs. Simplified, EGS is a process of creating human-made underground reservoirs to tap into geothermal energy that would otherwise be inaccessible. This is accomplished by injecting fluid deep underground into naturally heated rocks that otherwise lack the fluid flow necessary to draw geothermal energy to the surface. The site uses testing and R&D to reduce uncertainty and manage risk for commercial development of EGS technologies. FORGE collects valuable data for all aspects of EGS development, including subsurface fluid flow, temperatures, rock types, and more. This data allows researchers to better understand subsurface conditions, helps identify the best areas for geothermal production, and provide information that can be used to optimize tools and methods that work well in geothermal environments.
The announcement for up to 17 awards will build on FORGE's existing EGS work and focus on reproducible solutions and dissemination of technical data. The solicitation requests research proposals in five topic areas, including seismicity monitoring protocols, novel reservoir stimulation techniques, experiments on EGS heat extraction efficiency, materials to sustain flow pathways in EGS reservoirs, and tools that can withstand high temperatures while isolating zones within the wellbore.

Home BOXING Dont Sleep On Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's Next Fight
It didn't take long for Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 knockouts) to schedule his next fight. As a matter of fact, Mexico's new unified middleweight champion has been quite busy since defeating Gennady Golovkin by majority decision in their much anticipated rematch back in September. For starters, he's been appearing at events and making the media rounds since his big win. Then earlier this month he announced when his next fight will be, where it will be, and who it will be against.
Canelo actually surprised the boxing world with his announcement. It won't be a third fight with Golovkin (not yet anyway), and it won't be against any other middleweight contenders. He's actually moving up in weight for his next bout and it'll be against someone who is mostly unknown to North American boxing fans. On December 15th, Alvarez will be making his debut at New York's Madison Square Garden to challenge England's Rocky Fielding for his WBA super middleweight title.
While this will be Fielding's (27-1, 15 knockouts) first fight against a Mexican boxer, this will be his third fight overall against a North American opponent (defeated U.S. fighters Brian Vera and Patrick Maxwell earlier in his career). But this will also be his North American debut as all of his previous fights were in the United Kingdom against mostly European competition. This will also be a major step up in competition for him as he has never fought an opponent of Alvarez's caliber and star power. Some say Fielding is foolish for taking this fight but you have to give him credit for giving it a shot.
Because of the odds against Fielding, many are expecting this to be a walk in the park for Alvarez. But this fight should be taken a little more seriously and here's why…..
For starters, this will be the first of 11 fights on Canelo's new "television" deal. Nearly two weeks ago, Alvarez signed a 5-year, $365 million deal with the streaming service DAZN that's been taking boxing media by storm since it's debut earlier this year. This comes on the heels of former long-time TV partner HBO announcing that they plan on ending their 45 years of boxing coverage at the end of 2018. This turned out to be one of the richest contracts in all of professional sports, and there's always pressure when it comes to living up to these mega-contracts so Canelo must continue to perform at high level but under a thinner microscope now.
Let's also remember that Alvarez will stepping into his fourth weight class for this fight. He started his career at welterweight, so for this fight he'll have to weigh between 161 pounds and 168 pounds, the heaviest of his professional career. How adding that weight will impact him in the ring remains to be seen. Fielding on the other hand has been fighting in this weight class for almost his entire eight-year professional career.
Then there's the historical significance of Alvarez looking for a world title in a third weight class. Before collecting belts at middleweight, Canelo made his name as a junior middleweight champion. If he defeats Fielding in December he'll join some fellow countrymen in Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., Jorge Arce, Juan Manuel Marquez, and Erik Morales on the list of Mexican-born boxers to win world championships in three or more weight classes. That's quite the list to put your name on.
As overmatched as Fielding may be, he is eager to get in the ring with Alvarez. He wants to prove himself on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, and you have to give him credit for wanting to prove himself against one of the world's best. Add the quality of opponent and mix in the fact that MSG -The World's Most Famous Arena- is the venue, and that can motivate any athlete in any sport. This fight could be worth watching.
I'm not saying that Alvarez will dominate this fight, but I'm not saying that Fielding will pull off the upset either. What I am saying is that we shouldn't totally sleep on this fight. Some may consider it just a cash grab, but we may actually get something worth watching regardless of who wins.

'Mary Poppins' Takes The Stage at Grace Arts Live
By Stefanie Thompson - On Apr 6, 2018
By Stefanie Thompson
RiverSceneMagazine.com
Grace Arts Live is bringing the magic of "Mary Poppins" to the stage beginning this weekend.
"Mary Poppins" was adapted for the stage from the books by P.L. Travers and the 1964 Walt Disney film. It tells the story of a mysterious nanny who magically appears in Edwardian London to care for Jane and Michael Banks. It follows the trio's adventures together, which includes dancing with chimney sweeps, singing shopkeepers and interactions with an array of other colorful characters. Using a little magic and a lot of common sense, she teaches the Banks family how to value each other again.
This will be the first time Grace Arts Live has performed "Mary Poppins."
"It's always harder to produce a new show," said Director Grace Ann Etcheberria-Jacobs. "This is a difficult tech show, and adding the flying has been a challenge."
While the show dazzles with elaborate costumes, sets and special effects, the audience can still expect to be treated to the familiar songs and characters that made "Mary Poppins" the film such a classic. The stage musical has been the winner of 44 major theatre awards internationally, and features songs such as the Academy Award-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee," "A Spoonful of Sugar," "Feed the Birds," "Step in Time."
As part of the 28-person cast, Mary Poppins is played by California guest artist Shealyn Sailors, Jane Banks is played by Josslyn Portz, Michael Banks is played by Ian Riedel, George Banks is played by Jason Fallis and Winifred Banks is played by Nicole Matheson.
"The children are amazing," Etcheberria-Jacobs said.
George and Winifred Banks are the parents of Jane and Michael and are central to the journey Mary Poppins and the children take. Actors Fallis and Matheson are married off stage as well, which they said makes this particular production even better.
"Working with my husband is really special," Matheson said. "We can rehearse at home, and it just adds to the whole experience."
"We go in with that familiarity and comfort by touch, which is so interesting because my character is conditioned not to be that way, at least in the beginning," Fallis said. "By the end of the show he breaks the cycle though and starts being able to show his love outwardly."
The show will mark the end of the company's 11th season.
"Mary Poppins" will run for three weekends: April 6-8, 13-15 and 20-22. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees start at 2 p.m. Adult tickets are $25, and children's tickets are $12.
The Grace Arts Live Theatre and Box Office are located at 2146 McCulloch Blvd. N. in Lake Havasu City. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 928-505-2787 or visit http://graceartslive.com.

UCI researchers win $2 million NIH grant to develop biologic implant for spinal facet joints
In an NIH-funded project led by Kyriacos Athanasiou, Distinguished Professor of biomedical engineering and Henry Samueli Chair in Engineering, researchers will use tissue engineering to address a common cause of back pain. Steve Zylius / UCI
The National Institutes of Health has awarded $2 million to researchers in UCI's Henry Samueli School of Engineering to develop a biologic implant for the spinal facet joint. This grant, given to a team led by Kyriacos Athanasiou, Henry Samueli Chair in Engineering and Distinguished Professor of biomedical engineering, will be the first to focus on the treatment of facet joint degeneration, a highly prevalent contributor to back pain. "The goal of the project is to use self-assembled cartilage, which is a technique for cartilage tissue engineering that my group has been developing for over a decade, to generate an implant that can restore structure and function to degenerated facet joints," Athanasiou said. Current treatment options for the condition are limited. "It has been found that degeneration in the facet joints is present in 70 percent of the population by the age of 30," said team member Rachel Nordberg, a UCI postdoctoral scholar in biomedical engineering. "As we age, this degeneration continues to progress, afflicting essentially the entire population by the age of 60." Co-investigator Jerry Hu, a program manager in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, added: "Unfortunately, management of facet pain is short-lived. On average, treatments such as neurotomy last for only nine months, which is why we're seeking to develop novel living tissue implants for the facet." Other collaborators on the NIH-funded project include Dr. Michael Yaszemski and Dr. Benjamin Elder, spine surgeons at the Mayo Clinic.

Russian Faberge gold (56) brooch. Made early by legendary Michael Perchin, who use to work later for Faberge, this brooch made in gold with original and simple design in Saint Petersburg, circa 1878-1886.
Of all the workmasters of Faberge, Michael Perchin is the most remarkable. He started life as a peasant, and by applying himself assiduously to the art and craft of goldsmithery in various unknown workshops, he learned enough to open his own workshop and later worked exclusively for Faberge.
Size: 2 3/4 inches or 68 mm. Total weight 4.2 gramms.
Metal: Gold (56) Workmaster: "M.P." initials in Cyrillic.
Condition: Worn in good condition, with normal surface wear.
For more information, please look at all pictures we provide.
Michael Evlampievich Perchin (1860 - 1903), born in Petrozavodsk, Eastern Karelia, died in St. Petersburg. Perchin, Faberge's legendary workmaster, was head of the workshops from 1886 until his death.From 1886 he worked exclusively for Faberge. In seventeen years some 26 Imperial Easter Eggs were made under his supervision and established his fame. He made many cigarette cases, writing sets, bibelots of all kinds for the table. The pieces he made were rich quality of his work and every piece is the real thing. Every small object was perfectly executed, capable of impregnating the imagination of hundreds of people, the world over who delighted in seeing, handling, and enjoying. Perchin's mark in cyrillic is M.P.


Dave Nicholls repeated his win in the second ABC tournament with a win over Teessider Darren Kell, again taking the highest break prize with a fine 195 break in the first round. The win was not without it's lairy moments, a 124 break against Mark Graham with the last break of the match overcame a 80 point deficit after Graham's 95 break. Similarly, in the semi, Phil Mumford had a 122 break but Nicholls countered that with a 123 and then ran out with the scores almost level with a 60 unfinished. Kell beat travelling companion Mark 'Buster' Hatton in the first round and Chris Achilles in the semi-final and was consistent throughout but couldn't balance Nicholls robust scoring in the final. Hatton had the consolation of taking the plate from Derby veteran Dave Rees, messrs Payne and Whittle making the semi-final. Earlier, Eva Palmius had a notable victory in defeating Craig Fitzpatrick and reaching the quarter finals, losing out by just 43 points from making the semi. Chris Achilles was the victor, the points from this cementing his place at 4th in the rankings. Nichols went top of the rankings and Kell joint second, see Here.


Happy Labor Day to all my American friends.
We're in Atlanta, Georgia, right now!
Also on my Vision and Verb today.
Good advice from Mr C, Ginnie.
One of the ills of today is that so many jobs have nothing in them that can be associated with an end purpose and so they are just meaningless chores.
Ginnie Hart: Of all those "Confucius say" quotes, Ray, this is one of my favorites!
OH how I love roadside stands of produce! It amazes me the number that allow the honor system for purchasing too! Fab capture!
Ginnie Hart: We see them everywhere, Robin, with the honor system. It really IS amazing, isn't it!
That Confucius was one smart fellow.
It is taking forever to find an anti-spam code that I can read. I will give up ifI can't do it soon.
Ginnie Hart: As I just told Ray, of all those "Confucius say" quotes, Ray, this is one of my favorites! Thanks, Michael for being persistent for this comment!
Marvelous image Ginnie! I love the wooden signs. Happy Labor Day to you!!
Ginnie Hart: I agree, Elizabeth. I love what these Dutch come up with! Happy Labor Day.
... We have the same holiday here in Canada today too Ginnie. Are you having a fab time in the US?
Ginnie Hart: Well then, happy Labor Day to you, too, Jacquelyn! We're having a great time here. Yesterday all 6 of us went bowling: my son, daughter, SIL, g'son, Astrid and I. Today we'll relax, BBQ, play Spades and probably watch a DVD movie here at home. My kind of day.
Ginnie Hart: Thank you, dear Lisl. Because it's my turn at V&V today, I decided to break all my rules and post.
Confucius is right - I can totally agree with him! And I like this fine exhibition of fruits in Netherland! Ja, heel veel vruchten, niet alleen de fijne tomaten komen uit ons burenland! Later I'll read your V&V tribute -enjoy your holidays in Atlanta, I hope it is not too hot there -here we have the best late summer weather!
Ginnie Hart: Thank you, Philine! It is the humidity that bothers us more than anything but it's not as hot as it could be, so I'm glad. And most of the time we're indoors where there is air-conditioning, of course. Hotlanta! Nothing like it!
Ginnie Hart: Ahhhh. The pumpkins. I'll look for them when we fly back to the Netherlands!
Confucius, please. One of the most stressed-out, ambitious, careerist individuals to be awarded the recognition of great philosopher. Now Lao-Tzu was the actual chilled-out guy.
Ginnie Hart: HA! Confucius say...and everyone listens. Too bad Lao-Tzu didn't come up in the quotes when I Googled!
Ginnie Hart: You know those Dutch, Chris!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
The slugs seem to have eaten most of what i planted!
Ginnie Hart: Ohhhh, you poor thing.
Great post,'just up my street'.
Ginnie Hart: I love it, too, Martin. My kind of sight. Thanks.
Fruits of the earth Ginnie.
Ginnie Hart: Exactly, Peter! With a bit of TLC (tender, loving care).
Ginnie Hart: Thank you, Martin. I always loved those "Confucius say" quotes.
Mmm - so, if I've never done a day's work in my life, why do I feel so tired? Nice twiddle on the pic.
Ginnie Hart: Good question, Tom. I guess for every pro there's a con??? Thanks.
Lucky then for the old boy that he was fortunate in being able to choose. Happy holidays to you both.
Ginnie Hart: Exactly, Chad. Not everyone has that privilege, for sure! Thanks for the greeting. We're having a great time.
I can't read the words in your photo but recognize the veggies. Hope you're still enjoying your stay in the USA.
Ginnie Hart: All in Dutch, of course, Mary, and some I can't read either! We're having a great time here in America. Thanks.
Someone went to a great deal of trouble to arrange such a artistic road-side stand. Nicely spotted and captured.
I'm assuming you are having a GRAND time with family and friends in Atlanta.
Ginnie Hart: We passed this roadside stand out in the country and then backed up to take pictures, Sue. So idyllic! I LOVE stuff like this. And yes, we're having a grand time with the kids. Yesterday all 6 of us went bowling...Astrid's first time in 20 years!
Great shot and love the flowers too. The farmer did a great job. I know people will love to buy from him.
I agree with Confucius...however not having to leave the house for doing a job is a very appealing thought to me. I can work at home .
Happy Labor Day, does that also count in a vacation?
Ginnie Hart: I would love it if you could work from/at home and not have to go anywhere throughout the week! (sigh) One day, maybe soon!
And yes, Labor Day counts in a vaction!!!
Very nice and lovely colors.
Ginnie Hart: Thank you kindly, Victoria!
For some reason this image reminds me of an antique seed packet. A very artistic display of the fruits of labor, Ginnie. So glad to hear that you and Astrid are having such a great time on your holiday in the States. Happy Labour Day!
Ginnie Hart: Now that you mention it, Beverly, yes, I see that packet of old-timey seeds. Thanks. And yes, we're having a great time with the kids! Yesterday we all went bowling and decided we need to make it a tradition every year...if my body can still handle it.
A beautiful and well organized display Ginnie!
I do like this, whenever we see one of these Maureen mulls over stopping for the next few miles by which time we are too far away to go back of course.
Ginnie Hart: HA! That's too funny, Brian. We often pass and then we quickly stop and back up...because it's on the back roads, often with no/little trafic.
Ha... You fooled me so well!
May 1st is our Labour Day in Malaysia.
But people in England do not observe this practice. They have May Bank Holiday instead.
I miss you already - come back to Europe soon.
Ginnie Hart: Yes, I admit it, LC. I miss my European home which is much more like me than any place else. But I usually can't tell my family that!
Ginnie Hart: Astrid hears you on that, Alan. She always says she loves her job but will love retirement even better!
Ginnie Hart: Someone else said it was Labor Day in Canada so I'll take your word for it. Maybe we're riding on YOUR coat tails?!
Ginnie Hart: I know what you mean, Rem! Merci.
mmmm, i like taste this!
Ginnie Hart: Me, too, Oscar. Gracias.
Ginnie Hart: Thank you kindly, Iain, for stopping by and commenting. That means a lot.
How lovely photo. I say that it is just from a fairy tale photo; so cozy.
Ginnie Hart: Thank you, Sartenada. You can find such things all over the Netherlands, and that's what makes it so fun!
Ginnie Hart: I know, l'Angevine. That's fun, isn't it!
Ginnie Hart: Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Iona. Welcome to Shutterchance!
ah, i just got back from atlanta.. we went and watched the dragon*con parade..
Ginnie Hart: Are you kidding me, Rian! We saw signs all around when we did a downtown tour for Astrid last week. How fun. Hope you enjoyed it!
I like picturing these roadside stalls. This is a fine one, Ginnie.
Ginnie Hart: Thank you, Graeme. I love it whenever we find them!
Superb composition and nice colors. I like it. Have a lovely day Ginnie. Amicably Antoine.
"Fruits of our labour" I love that expression.
You did a nice job with this photo!
Ginnie Hart: Thanks, Doug. We've had a great time and will be heading back home tomorrow...with lots of great memories.
Ginnie Hart: Thank you kindly, dear Zielona.
Nice vintage and color process Ginnie.
Ginnie Hart: Thanks a million, Charles.
Superbe image Ginnie, on est toujours content de ce que son travail rapporte. Belle continuation dans tes vacances.
Ginnie Hart: Thnak you, kind sir. We're now back from vacation and are glad to be back home! Merci.
