When he is not scrambling to catch up on his classes, he is reading a good book, thrift shopping, drinking coffee, or figuring out ways to be cancelled on social media. He is deeply interested in the myriad ways God has been, and continues to be, active in the lives of Queer people.
Y'all this episode is, as Hamilton would say, non-stop.

Today, I'm going to posit and explore a question that ran through all four episodes of this series. At the end, I'll tie in how all of this helps you in your everyday life, but for the first part, I'd love to take the opportunity to dig in together.
The question: What is the role of story-telling in the age of information?

You can follow her many adventures with the Lord by reading her weekly devotional blogs at iSparkleforJesus.webs.com and link to iShine in Ministry and iSparkle Teens from her debut site or book her as your wedding planner, personal stylist or lifestyle concierge through her small business, A Little Fancy (alittlebitfancy.webs.com).
As you can tell from her bio, Jacq is a bundle of energy. She and I talk about her life in Las Vegas and her journey to get to New York and being single in the midst of a culture that values getting married young. Jacq is fast-paced, even by New York standards, but she talks about how she was able to grow in a more laid back, suburban environment.

He's got a really interesting perspective, so let's hear what he has to say.
Episode 2.10: Relationship Wrap Up
Welcome to the season 2 finale! Huge thanks for being here for the wrap up episode. Man, I loved these interviews on relationships and community, which were specifically Episodes 2.6-2.9. Every single one of these guests brought their A game, so if you haven't had a chance to listen yet, go back now and check them out.
For those of you who are all caught up, let me walk you through what you're about to hear. We're going to start off with a story of an experience in which I felt unsuitable in community. I'm then going to walk you through some deeper implications of what I experienced while tying in insights from the four interviews in this series. We're going to talk about this idea of privilege and how it affects our relationships, and a story of how my guy Jesus interacted with a woman who was perceived as all sorts of unsuitable. At the very end, I'll share how you can get my very free guide, "How to Make Friends without Hating Everything."
The story from the Bible I reference is John 4:4-42
Episode 2.9: Shawn Oates

helps you make group plans, co-host of a podcast called Two Black Sheep, and
creative director at Allen & Ade. You can follow Shawn on Instagram @soates

Shawn and I had a great conversation about his podcast, his experience growing up in a predominantly white community, the struggle to settle into his identity, and the power of having a consistent group of friends in good times and also in the midst of struggle and grief.
Episode 2.8: Cristina Spataro
Today I'm sitting down with Cristina Spataro. Cristina is a Bronx-native, she is a child psychotherapist, and she loves old movies.

I particularly appreciate how honest Cristina is about some really challenging experiences.
Episode 2.7: Rob
Hey everyone, this week my friend Rob and I talk about community within the church. Community is a bit of a buzzword, it sometimes feels like one of those words that has been used so much that we don't necessarily think about what it means or what we mean when we use it. Maybe you hear the word community and feel all warm and fuzzy. Maybe you hear it and it gives you hives or makes you roll your eyes because you've experienced it as just one more thing you are obliged to do. If you're in a season of feeling discouraged or disillusioned in community, I hope this conversation will resonate with you. Rob and I are going to talk through some good and some less positive experiences in church community, fitting in, and exclusivity. Here's a little bit about Rob.
Rob was raised in both New England and New York yet somehow pronounces Rs and only argues about sports as much as a normal healthy person. He has lived in NY for several years now and works in financial services but his real passion is eating at the best restaurants in the city…that only have a single dollar sign in their Yelp ratings. He can usually be found complaining about how much he dreads running and running in Central Park.

Liz is going to share some serious wisdom about some of her past dating relationships, mental and emotional health in relationship, forgiveness and healing. Liz led a recovery group for women coming out of codependent relationships so she has a lot of great things to say about that as well.
Episode 2.5: Work Wrap-Up
This is a new thing I'm trying over here at Unsuitable with Mary B. Safrit, a little wrap up episode where I'm going to share some of my thoughts on the theme, some key take aways from the episodes you've heard so far, and give you some tools to help you engage with the series theme more deeply.

PacifiCorp proposes less coal, more renewables
Posted on October 3, 2019 by Jon Okun
Source: Pete Danko, Portland Business Journal, October 3 2019
PacifiCorp would close 16 of its 24 coal units, add nearly 7,000 MW of new renewable energy and build 400 miles of transmission line over the next decade to accelerate decarbonizing its system, according to its draft 2019 integrated resource plan.
PacifiCorp wants to accelerate retirements in its vast coal fleet and pour billions into new renewable energy, battery storage and transmission infrastructure, the company said Thursday in revealing a draft resource portfolio.
The possible rate impact of the plan wasn't detailed. But PacifiCorp's top resource planner, Rick Link, said the company was "certain this is the least-cost plan," estimating that it would likely save $300 million to $500 million over 20 years compared to the track the company is currently on.
The move comes after the Sierra Club pushed PacifiCorp to analyze the economics of its 24 coal units, which provided about 58 percent of the six-state utility's energy in 2018. A study commissioned by the club had revealed many of the plants were more expensive to operate than renewable sources, which have been falling in cost and are supported by federal incentives.
But PacifiCorp, which operates in Oregon as Pacific Power, is also facing pressure from the coal states in its territory — Wyoming in particular — to keep plants running.
With those politics as a backdrop, the company spent the past year modeling scenarios in search of a "preferred portfolio," insisting that the hard numbers and ensuring system reliability would guide it.
The draft portfolio it showed on Thursday, ahead of formal presentation of an integrated resource plan in two weeks, targets seven coal units for accelerated retirement, two in Montana, one in Colorado and four in Wyoming. The earliest retirement would come in 2023, and others would go offline in 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028. All but one of the plants are now set to run well into the 2030s.
The utility said Oct. 3 that the 16 coal closures would take place by 2030, and another four by 2038. The retirements would cut nearly 2,800 MW from the company's 6,000 MW coal portfolio by 2030, and nearly 4,500 MW by 2038.
The draft IRP calls for divesting PacifiCorp's ownership in Jim Bridger Unit 1 in 2023, rather than 2037, with Bridger Unit 2 leaving the portfolio in 2028. The utility would retire its shares of Colstrip units 3 and 4 in 2027. Craig Unit 2 would also be out of the portfolio in 2026, after Naughton units 1 and 2 retire in 2025.
Under a recently passed Wyoming state law, PacifiCorp must try to sell the Wyoming-based coal units before closing them.
Chad Teply, senior VP for business policy and development at PacifiCorp, said the utility will be working with employees and communities impacted by the closures.
"We will facilitate advancing economic development, and will be sitting down with state and local leadership to identify ways that we can move this plan forward," Teply said.

I had this great idea that we'd make the most of Christmas this year before we go away and that the kids would come Christmas shopping with me. I don't know what was wrong with me that day. I had visions of us all wrapped up in our coats and hats, merrily skipping into and out of shops, radiating Christmas cheer with big, lovely smiles on our faces. I think perhaps I let the gas run too long on the hob or something.
You see, I have boys. Boys don't do shopping! Well at least mine don't anyway.
They weren't naughty, well not really, but it wasn't the happy, chirpy shopping trip I imagined.
Josh followed me round with his hood up and a teenage face that said, I'm not going to complain but this is not fun.
Jake decided his legs were tired and he needed a rest. In every shop.
We went to a cafe to get a nice drink. Bad plan. Jake then decided he was no longer tired and that the cafe was boring and the best way to remedy this was to put his wellies on his hands and sit upside down on the sofa.
I'm not even sure we bought any presents??
Anyway, lesson learned. I'm going on my own next week.
Boys eh? What are they like? I hate shopping with a passion – I even like it less than hospital visiting, and that's saying something! Food shopping's another matter. I like that.
Great pics of complete boredom!

We gathered a few of our ministry supporters, rolled up our sleeves and spent some pain-staking hours counting and marking all the Greek and Latin words we could find in the Book of Mormon.
And if that wasn't exciting enough, (major eye-roll) we put all of our findings in a chart just so we could share it with the Mormons in our lives or the next missionary that shows up on the front doorstep. Woo-hoo!
With all sarcasm aside, I want to convey how this broke our hearts. While our task seems mundane, the truth is that Joseph Smith lied. He guaranteed there were no Greek or Latin words found on the golden plates of Mormonism.
Since the translation of the plates came out in 1611 KJV English and the Church can't produce the plates for the public to see, we're left with looking at the "translated" words we find in the Book of Mormon today.
We counted over 7,200 words. The means he lied over 7,200 times to everyone that's ever read his version of the gosopel.
How would Smith Know , He was an uneducated boy?????? He had NO idea of the difference between Greek and Latin.
How could a book that one man wrote, one poor farm boy with less than a 3rd grade education have survived almost two hundred years, with a church around it with 15 million members worldwide? How could Smith have come up with all the amazingly complex geography, proceedings, doctrine and story and names of the book of Mormon by himself? The book is of God, and heeding Moroni's promise will give a firm testimony of this.

        var result = {};
        info.forEach(function(x) {
            result[x] = data[i][x];
        });
        return result;
    };

 console.log($scope.getHigherItem(dummyData, "dial_success_rate", ["dial_success_rate"]));

Example above is returning higher value, but is not returning index of the object in the array.
How can i solve it please?
Many thanks for any advice.

A: I think all you need to do is add an attribute to the result which contain the index like following :
...
var result = {};
/*
info.forEach(function(x) {
    result[x] = data[i][x];
});*/

result[stat] = data[i][stat]; // <-- INSTEAD OF FOREACH LOOP
result.index = i; // <-- HERE
return result;

A: var maxValue = Math.max(selectedValues);
var maxIndexes = []; //Array of indexes of == maxValue

for (_i = 0, _len = selectedValues.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
  a = selectedValues[i];
  if (a === max) {
    maxIndexes.push(_i);
  }
}

...
...
return {
  result: result
  maxIndexes: maxIndexes

}

With that you have an array which contains the indexes of all the objects on your selectedValues array that are equal to max. If you want the first of this just do maxIndexes[0]

A: Do all at once in the map-function:
    var getHigherItem = function (data, stat) {
        var compare, result = {};

        var selectedValues = data.map(function (x, i) {
            if (i == 0) {
                compare = parseFloat(x[stat]);
            } else if(compare < parseFloat(x[stat])){
                compare = parseFloat(x[stat]);
                result[stat] = parseFloat(x[stat]);
                result['index'] = i;
            }
        });
        return result;
    };

    console.log(getHigherItem(dummyData, "dial_success_rate"));

Article Updated: June 22, 2022
In 2016, Aaron Howard wrote in JHV Online the following "The entrance of Jewish musicians into the Gentile world of music didn't really start until after Emancipation," said Ann Thompson of 'let's go to the opera' fame. "After 1789, Jewish talent was recognized as being phenomenal – be it composing, performing, writing librettos or the impresario business. Jews became part of the musical establishment in Western Europe."
Indeed, history is replete with the names of talented Jews whose contribution to the music scene has been of major consequence. In the first of a new series on Jewish TV Channel we introduce the life and times of Leonard Bernstein. READ MORE

We want to block the old location for planning.
We want to block the old location for planning. There are lots of seasonal warehouses which are open only for a part of the year and we want to block them when they are not used. We don't want to block the location-products (using MRP type ND). Is this possible to be done easily or not?
Probably the context of planning would help to better understand the issue.
The SDP Relevance flag on Properties tab of location-product master may be helpful for you. You can use the MASSD transaction to pull up all the location-products at your seasonal warehouses and flag this suitably. Then if you run SNP Heuristic (I guess by planning you mean replenishment planning) then these location-products are not considered in the Heuristic run at all. Blocking the transportation lane is another option as mentioned by Harish but it will still plan the Location-Products but not create the Purchase Requisitions.
We are going to use both solutions.
Depending on where in your SCM setup these loactions are, if you dont have any transportation lanes or if you set the block indicator on the transport lanes going to (or from as the case may be) to these location, you can effectively take it off the planning scenario.

Q: Can't link to image with HTML on Rails app I'm developing a Web app using Ruby on Rails. I have an image to add to the site, and I tried using the "img src" HTML tag to call a local image, but it won't work. If I use ruby to call it using the "image-tag" method, it works fine. I'm just wondering as to why it never works with HTML.
For example, I add an image to app>assets>images>image1.png
On the View file, I add HMTL as follows:

It doesn't load
Yet if I enter this code in the same spot:
<%= image-tag: "image1.png" %>

It works fine.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I know I have a workaround, but I would rather know why my HTML tag has an issue with local files, yet links to files on the internet just fine.
I'm new to coding.
Cheers!

A: Nice question. The Rails asset compiler is important but makes some problems like this one.
The asset compiler is likely adding a cache fingerprint to the file name. You can use <%=asset_path('images/image1.png')%> as the value of the src attribute, or continue using image_tag.
See the Rails guide assets document for more information.
Does that help?

A: If you want use img tag you should:
<img src="<%= asset_path('image1.png') %>"/>

Without "/images" and "/".

A: can you try with a online based example ? My guess is ruby isn't finding your image within the directory.

A: Looks like your syntax is incorrect for the image_tag helper. Try this:
<%= image_tag "image1.png" %>
More info in the Rails docs

A: The problem is the path you're using. Here's the short version: Remove app/ from the image URL, and it should work as expected.
If you run the app with the working code, you can see that this is what image_tag is already doing for you behind the scenes by inspecting the HTML. You should see something like this:

Updating your img tag to use that path should resolve the issue.
However, you should be using image_tag if possible! Without delving too deep into the technical details, if you deploy your site to production with the image_tag version and take a look at the HTML, you'll probably see something like this:

This will help ensure that clients are removing stale assets from their caches as necessary - the technical details can be found here (see section 1.2). If you hard-code the image, you're going to miss out on any features provided by the asset pipeline.

"Chef's Big Lie" Banana Pudding
Bowens Island Restaurant
Bowens Island insiders swear by this creamy layered dessert, which is the perfect ending to a meal of the scenic spot's locally harvested oysters, fried shrimp, hushpuppies, and cold beer. The dish was created by chef Robert Barber's wife, LaNelle, who combined two recipes in a local South Carolina cookbook to replicate a dish described by a friend; food writer Jane Kronsberg published a version of this recipe in her 1997 book, Charleston: People, Places, and Food. It's not hard to imagine where the dish gets its name; made with instant vanilla pudding and Cool Whip, the dessert requires assembly more than it does cooking. (We prefer it made with whipped cream, but the restaurant swears by Cool Whip.) But when the dish is this good your guests won't care that you took a few shortcuts—and, better yet, they never need to know.
6 to 8 Servings
2 (3.4-ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding
3 cups whipped heavy cream, or 1 (12-ounce) container Cool Whip
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafers
6 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick disks
Combine the pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl. Using a rubber spatula, fold in 2 cups of the whipped cream (or half of the Cool Whip), the sour cream, and vanilla extract.
Line the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with a layer of vanilla wafers. Top with a layer of bananas and a layer of pudding. Repeat layers. Top with the remaining whipped cream or Cool Whip.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

As part of his investigation, ornithology student Mitch Vogel needs to examine the movement of traffic through the Boonsong Lekagul Nature Preserve. His first working hypothesis is that there is some link between the traffic going through the preserve and the decline in the nesting Rose-crested Blue Pipit—maybe the traffic noises are drowning out mating calls! Or perhaps he can discover some odd goings on in the traffic patterns—perhaps campers are invading the bird's habitat areas?
There are park rangers working as caretakers of the nature preserve, and they have been collecting traffic data for their annual reporting to the local government. They have provided Mitch with some data, explanations about the data, and a map. Mitch feels unprepared to analyze this information alone and is asking you to help with your visual analytics prowess.
Use visual analytics to analyze the available data and develop responses to the questions below. In addition, prepare a video that shows how you used visual analytics to solve this challenge. Novel visualizations and analysis approaches are especially interesting for this mini-challenge. Please do not use any other data in your work (including other Internet-based sources or other mini-challenge data).
"Patterns of Life" analyses depend on recognizing repeating patterns of activities by individuals or groups. Describe up to six daily patterns of life by vehicles traveling through and within the park. Characterize the patterns by describing the kinds of vehicles participating, their spatial activities (where do they go?), their temporal activities (when does the pattern happen?), and provide a hypothesis of what the pattern represents (for example, if I drove to a coffee house every morning, but did not stay for long, you might hypothesize I'm getting coffee "to-go"). Please limit your answer to six images and 500 words.
Patterns of Life analyses may also depend on understanding what patterns appear over longer periods of time (in this case, over multiple days). Describe up to six patterns of life that occur over multiple days (including across the entire data set) by vehicles traveling through and within the park. Characterize the patterns by describing the kinds of vehicles participating, their spatial activities (where do they go?), their temporal activities (when does the pattern happen?), and provide a hypothesis of what the pattern represents (for example, many vehicles showing up at the same location each Saturday at the same time may suggest some activity occurring there each Saturday). Please limit your answer to six images and 500 words.
Unusual patterns may be patterns of activity that changes from an established pattern, or are just difficult to explain from what you know of a situation. Describe up to six unusual patterns (either single day or multiple days) and highlight why you find them unusual. Please limit your answer to six images and 500 words.
Q: I read "Please note that cycling and camping are only permitted in designated areas. See the visitor guide map for details." from Lekagul Preserve Description which download from website.
However, I find nothing about cycling area from the map. Would you like to give me the answer?
A: Bicycles are only allowed on the Preserve roadways. No off-road biking is currently permitted.

Destination Spotlight: 10 Things To Know About Donegal
Check out these fascinating facts about Donegal!
Donegal has been rated National Geographic Traveller's #1 pick for the Cool List – which means it's a pretty cool place to visit! Our destination spotlight shines a light on 10 things you might not know about this rugged Irish county!
Whether you're a travel-lover, itching for somewhere off the beaten path, or simply curious, read on for a few facts that you might not have known about the little-visited hidden gem that is Country Donegal in the northwest of Ireland.
1. It's nicknamed Ireland's Forgotten County
First off on this list of facts about Donegal is it's nickname, Ireland's Forgotten County. So, where is County Donegal? Isolated physically, culturally and even politically, Donegal is the large county at Ireland's northwestern corner. It is one of the only Republic of Ireland counties part of the ancient province of Ulster (which also comprises of all Northern Ireland counties), and is remote and difficult to access, meaning that Donegal has often been 'forgotten' by the densely-populated eastern and southern regions of Ireland, as well as 'forgotten' off the list of Irish travel itineraries.
Donegal is home to many pristine, secret beaches
No bother – this means that County Donegal has largely been left to its own devices, making it an apt place to experience Irish traditions, hear the Irish language, or explore the untouched bogs and mountains of the region!
2. Slieve League are some of Europe's highest sea cliffs – about 3 times height of Cliffs of Moher
Admiring the cloud-capped Slieve League cliffs, among Europe's highest sea cliffs.
Admiring the towering Slieve League Cliffs in southern Donegal. When you think of "cliffs" and "Ireland," you typically think of the Cliffs of Moher. But this is a list of facts about Donegal, not Clare! Here in Donegal, you'll find the Slieve League cliffs, nearly three times the height of the Cliffs of Moher, and some of Europe's highest sea cliffs (they are 609m (1,998 feet in height)! While most people tend to view the cliffs from the Bunglas Viewpoint, a better way to see them is by following the boggy but well-worth-it Pilgrim's Path, an ancient path that leads up to the back side of the cliffs, passing a Mass Rock (an outdoor church dating to Ireland's Penal Laws). Brave souls may decide to head up the precarious One Man's Pass before heading back down the side of the cliffs.
3. Donegal is home to Star Wars at Malin Head – also Ireland's northernmost point
Hiking at Malin Head, a galaxy not so, so far away in northern Donegal.
With the release of the new film, Star Wars is all the rage right now! Much of the movie has been filmed in Ireland, chosen to represent Skywalker's remote hideaway. Though the Skellig Islands off the coast of the Ring of Kerry are the most visible filming location, much of the close-up scenes between Rey and Luke on the unnamed island at the end of the galaxy were actually filmed at Malin Head, up in northern Donegal. In fact, it's the most northern point you'll find in Ireland – and feels like the edge of the world! Wild and alien, the exposed stoney headlands of Malin Head are home to basking sharks, dolphins and colonies of seabirds – all the while feeling like a galaxy far, far away.
4. Meet royalty in Donegal! Greet King Patsy on Tory Island
Ireland's most remote inhabited island, Tory Island is also home to Irish 'royalty'
Yes indeed, you can meet a king on your next trip to Ireland! Chosen by his hundred-odd fellow islanders, King Paddy 'rules' Tory Island, off Donegal's northern coast. Long held as a recluse for artists and recluses, King Patsy will welcome you to his island as you step off the boat. A great place for coastal island hiking, relaxation and perhaps setting up an easel of your own, Tory Island is fit for royalty!
5. It's the ancestral home of Patron St Colmcille, the Pride of Donegal
Enjoying the view in west Donegal near Glencolmcille
The pride of Donegal, St Colmcille (or St Columba, meaning 'dove') is one of Ireland's three patron saints (alongside famous St Patrick, as well as St Brigit), and is credited with spreading Christianity to Scotland. Born and bred in the heart of Donegal, he descended from the famed Niall of the Nine Hostages, a 5th century Irish high king. St Colmcille started his first monastery in Donegal (he went on to found 30 of them, including the famous Abbey of Iona in Scotland), and it is said he was much inspired by Donegal's rough and wild landscapes. St Colmcille is still widely revered in Donegal to this day.
6. The county is fringed by one of Ireland's three glacial fjords, Lough Swilly
Shimmering water of Donegal's Lough Swilly
Did you know there are three glacial fjords in Ireland? Donegal has one of them: Lough Swilly. This beautiful, glittering basin sweeps through northern Donegal and is one of the most scenic places on the Emerald Isle. The best way to experience Lough Swilly is by boat, although hiking and biking its jaw-droppingly beautiful coastlines are equally amazing! For a spectacular accommodation overlooking its shores, choose the lovely Rathmullan House, set in a idyllic wooded setting overlooking Lough Swilly Fjord.
7. Southern Donegal is part of Wild Atlantic Way's Surf Coast
Surfing in Donegal along the Wild Atlantic Way's Surf Coast
Donegal marks the very tip of the Wild Atlantic Way, which starts on the Ireland side of the city of Londonderry/Derry. Further down, the southern region of County Donegal is part of Ireland's famous Surf Coast, where surfers from around the world gather to test their surf skills against angry Atlantic waves. Don't worry if you're not a pro; there are plenty of surf schools that will teach you the basics! Or if you prefer to stay a bit drier, simply walk along the quiet Donegal beaches dipping your toes in the waves as you watch the pros wrestling with the legendary waves!
8. As part of Ulster, it's got a close connection with Northern Ireland
A seal enjoying the beach in Donegal!
One of four ancient and historical provinces, Ulster is generally associated with Northern Ireland as it contains all six Northern Ireland counties. However, it also encompasses three counties that are part of the Republic of Ireland, including its largest county, Donegal. So in a way, Donegal has one foot on either side of the border! Which makes it all the better of a place to explore wild, windswept landscapes and rich local tradition.
9. Go sea stack climbing along Donegal's coasts!
Kayaking in Mayo as Clough Patrick looms ahead.
Sea stacks are a fascinating geological phenomenon, formed by constant and consistent coastal erosion that carves away sections of land, collapsing the 'bridge' between land and the sea stack. The freestanding pillar of rock island amongst crashing waves makes a perfect challenge to those climbing to new heights! Adrenaline-junkies, thrill seekers, or adventurers out to test themselves will love climbing these sea stacks to their unspoilt summits – many of which are generally accessible only by kayak.
10. Learn about the age-old tradition of Hand Weaving in Donegal
Handwoven waistcoats from Ardara village
Final facts about Donegal – have you ever heard of Donegal Tweed? Once upon a time, it was all the rage in the UK – exotic, exquisite, dependable. Though such tweed came from all over Donegal, the western village of Ardara has a particularly long history with tweed and hand weaving. Today, you can still find traditional weavers (many who still weave on ancestral looms) in Ardara – and scattered throughout Donegal – though today their numbers are dwindling in favour of easier and more industrial methods.

Do You Remember the Houston Astros Song From the 80s?
It's been a long time, and Houston fans would prefer to forget the last time the team made it to the World Series In 2005, the last time the Astros made it to the world series, they didn't win a single game. That was then, but last night the Astros came out fighting!
It may have taken 11 innings, but the Astros have not only notched up their first World Series win, but they proved to the world last night that they can beat Los Angeles on their own turf. Yes, the Dodgers pitchers have given the Astros fits, but last night, the team seemed to have things figured out!
Here's a bit of Astros history for you. It was back in the '80s, and the Astros were looking for ways to get the fans excited, so it was decided that what they needed was a team song that the crowd could sing along with - and "Go- Go Astros" was born. Here's a copy for you to play during the 7th inning stretch tomorrow night when the series heads to Astros home turf for game 3! Go Go Astros!

Q: Angular ? after as in ngIf I am trying to do the following:

 0"> <-- here is the error
  {{result}}"

i.e. only draw this
 when the results are available AND there are more than 1 result
The first line
 is causing error. A two
s solution exists:

 0">
    {{result}}"

Can it be done in a single
 without adding another container?

A: ? can't be used with as in *ngIf statements. The best you can do is (observable$ | async)?.length > 0.
Also, when you don't need two nested divs rendered in HTML (or any for that matter, but you still need *ngIf / *ngFor), you can use an <ng-container> which does not render as an HTML element:
<ng-container *ngIf="(observable$ | async) as results">

 0">
    {{result}}

If you are trying to check if an element is not empty before you iterate over it, you don't really need to explicitly check for that, because *ngFor will gracefully handle empty arrays/lists. So you should be able to simplify your template to this:
<ng-container *ngIf="(observable$ | async) as results">
  {{result}}

or even further to this:

{{result}}

A: In this scenario, I like using two divs because it feels cleaner and more readable to me. That's different for different people, though, so it's really your preference.

 0">
    {{result}}"

A: You can't have *ngFor and *ngIf on the same element, so you can use ng-container to prevent the additional div wrapper being included in the output:
<ng-container *ngIf="(observable$ | async).length; else noContent">

{{ result.name }}

{{ result.price | currency }}

</ng-container>

<ng-template #noContent>
    Nothing to show.
</ng-template>

import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { of, Observable } from "rxjs";
import { map, filter, tap } from "rxjs/operators";

@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrls: ["./app.component.css"]
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  observable$: Observable<{name: string, price: number}[]>;

  ngOnInit() {
    // To simulate requests with some/no results
    // Change to 1 to always return data, 0 for empty results.
    const chance = Math.random();
    this.observable$ = this.getMockData(chance).pipe(
      map(res => res.results)
    );
  }

  getMockData(random) {
    const results =
      random <= 0.5
        ? { results: [] }
        : {
            results: [
              { name: "Widget", price: 300 },
              { name: "Widget 2", price: 50 },
              { name: "Widget 3", price: 75 }
            ]
          };
    return of(results);
  }
}

Output:

Widget

$300.00

Widget 2

$50.00

Widget 3

$75.00

What the Facebook Data Misuse Could Mean for Credit Unions & Members
Credit unions and tech experts respond to the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data "breach of trust."

The events revealed so far in the emerging Facebook and Cambridge Analytica story, may not be a data "breach" but nevertheless serve as a wakeup call to millions sharing personal information.
Following reports that Cambridge Analytica, a data analysis firm reportedly used in the last presidential campaign, acquired and used Facebook data on some 50 million people without their consent, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged his company was partially to blame. "We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can't then we don't deserve to serve you," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. He added, "It was also a breach of trust between Facebook and the people who share their data with us and expect us to protect it. We need to fix that."
