Bombs away! Padres beat Cubs when wind blows out
The wind was blowing out at Wrigley Field and the Padres caught it and beat the Chicago Cubs
David Dodd
When the wind blows out at Wrigley Field in Chicago, it can make any baseball team look good. And it was blowing out good on Tuesday evening as the Padres beat the Cubs, 13-7.
Neither team can be considered as good with matching records of 10-16. But both squads believe in their respective teams and in each other; if they didn't, then players and managers and coaches would all be keeping their eyes open for other jobs.
In a game like this one on Tuesday, with a total of seven home runs hit among the 28 total hits combined, how serious should fans take the one game as an indicator of anything? They shouldn't, is the short answer.
Jason Marquis gave us a salient quote the other day after a victory back at Petco Park. "You don't want to get too streaky, obviously, you want to try and play it as consistent as possible," Jason said.
Marquis has been in the big leagues since the year 2000, has a lifetime record of 114 wins against 111 losses (his lifetime batting average of .201 isn't bad either for a pitcher). If anyone would know about consistency, it would be Jason Marquis.
What does a game like Tuesday's offensive cannonball show do for a club in the long term? Probably not a lot, unless the wind is blowing out of every stadium they play in and they get to face struggling pitchers like the Cubs starter Edwin Jackson. And that isn't going to happen.
It can, however, have a nice short term effect on a ball team. Carlos Quentin was starting to struggle a bit after having come off of his eight-game suspension, so going 3 for 4 with a home run had to have lifted a little weight off of his shoulders.
Nick Hundley had been seeing the ball better in the last three weeks, so his blast on Tuesday was no surprise. Nick has power, but one glaring statistic that remains is that he has struck out 25 times against just 4 walks in 79 at bats this season.
Batting .329 is nice but striking out with runners in scoring position is missed opportunities that often trump batting average in a negative way. In other words, even with the high average, there is a reason that manager Buddy Black is penciling in Hundley in the eight-spot in the batting order.
Yonder Alonso had the other home run for the Padres, something that Yonder will do from time to time. Of the three players that went yard, Alonso might be considered as the most consistent hitter, possibly the least affected by a slight surge in his stats.
For the other hitters, a lot of doubles and a triple and singles all raise the batting average. A hitter's batting average might be the most deceptive statistic in baseball. After all, Tony Gwynn played on a lot of very bad Padres teams.
Pitching in such circumstances is frustrating. Starter Edinson Volquez got the victory, but gave up four runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings in the process. Edinson's last start looked promising after the first few starts were disappointing.
The three walks issued by Volquez might have been more disappointing than the two home runs he gave up. Get the ball up even a little bit in Wrigley when the wind is blowing out, and a routine fly ball can find itself out on Waveland Avenue. Walks only add kindling to that potential fire.
What most fans might not realize, though, is that Edinson's personality and attitude could be the perfect mirror of Jason Marquis' keen observations. As odd as it seems watching the antics that Volquez often portrays on the mound when frustrated, he runs at even-keel in the clubhouse.
Volquez has been booed at Petco Park when he's been bad. And he has been cheered when he's been good. But through whatever reaction the fans have to his performance, you wouldn't know it by his demeanor. It isn't that Edinson doesn't care, it's that he knows that in order to be effective, he can't be affected.
So, with some pitchers, it probably doesn't matter much. Others, well, I can't get into Robbie Erlin's head, but coming in during the ninth inning and giving up a home run with a man on base in his debut, well, there's that. In such spots, what makes a pitcher a pitcher is the ability to reach a simple conclusion in such games: This is what happens.
So far as the Padres offense goes, maybe they should reach the same conclusion. It would certainly make the quote by Jason Marquis relevant. And if the weather forecasts are correct, the wind will be blowing in rather than out in the friendly confines Wednesday evening and especially Thursday afternoon.
So far as baseball goes, it seems to be a convenient and comfortable philosophy to embrace. After all, it's impossible to predict what will happen one day to the next. Don't believe that? Ask someone who wagers on the game, they'll tell you true.
Yes, Robbie Erlin finally experienced his first appearance in the majors. Buddy Black would have preferred to put Erlin in to go long, but found the clean-up spot for Robbie that Buddy didn't want to relegate Erlin to. Erlin wasn't at all throwing like he did in the minors. Nerves? Probably. But he got that out of the way, so maybe it's best to judge him on his next appearance.
Suddenly (and conspicuously by design?), there is scuttle-butt concerning a contract for Chase Headley. It's tough to buy into this in early May. Multiple sources indicate that Hundley could pull in $15 million per season for three years, although the structure of the deal hasn't been disclosed. For that reason, be skeptical. Not that Chase doesn't deserve the cash, but rather that the Padres have been reluctant to pony it up.
Wednesday, the Padres Andrew Cashner (1-1, 3.26) faces Scott Feldman (1-3, 3.92) of the Cubs. The thing to watch? Cashner against Anthony Rizzo, they were traded for each other over a year ago. Game starts at 5:05 PM PDST, 1090 AM for radio and whatever service you can get that has Fox Sports San Diego for television.

The call that never came
Falling foul of the education department's habit of publishing school SNA allocations too late.
by Bernard Harbor and Hazel Gavigan
"I have people coming to me in June totally panicked because they don't know what the story is for September. It has an impact on their mortgage payments, car loans and other bills. Younger SNAs have a huge issue trying to get mortgages because their contracts aren't definite. It's a major problem that needs to be addressed" - Claire Keaveney, chair of Fórsa's SNA North Dublin and North Leinster branch
"It's a terrible feeling. In June you're told 'see you in September. I'll give you a ring when your job comes through.' But the call doesn't come, and you've no job."
Special needs assistant Patricia Fanning from Fórsa's SNA North Dublin and North Leinster branch is just one of hundreds of SNAs who've fallen foul of the education department's habit of publishing school SNA allocations too late.
Although the total number of SNA posts has risen significantly in recent years – from under 10,400 in 2008 to over 14,000 in 2017 – the number allocated to individual schools rises and falls in line with local needs assessments. When the allocations come late, SNAs are left wondering if they have a job come the new school year.
Fórsa efforts led to the establishment of a panel system, so that those who lose their place in a particular school can apply for other vacancies. But its effectiveness has been limited by the tardy allocations.
"When the allocations are late you can't access the panel because you have no documentation from your school. You didn't know you were going to need it when the year ended," says Patricia. "Then on the 1st of September you're unemployed. It's an awful feeling. I wouldn't wish it on anybody," she adds.
Her colleague Claire Keaveney, who chairs the Fórsa branch, says Patricia's case is far from isolated. For the past four years, SNA allocations have been published in July, which meant that hundreds of SNAs finished the school year without knowing if they would have a job the following September.
"It's not unusual at all. I have people coming to me in June totally panicked because they don't know what the story is for September. It has an impact on their mortgage payments, car loans and other bills. Younger SNAs have a huge issue trying to get mortgages because their contracts aren't definite. It's a major problem that needs to be addressed," she says.
Following a 97% vote in favour of industrial action last year, education minister Richard Bruton pledged that the figures would be made known much earlier in 2018 and future years.
Both women were speaking at last week's Fórsa Education Division conference, where union deputy general secretary Kevin Callinan said the education department must publish its 2018-2019 allocations by May at the latest.
Kevin welcomed the minister's role in securing the overall 2018-2019 allocation in last year's budget estimates as an essential first step to resolving a problem that had plagued SNAs, schools and parents for half a decade.
"But the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I expect to see the allocations published as early as possible, and by May at the latest. We will not tolerate a situation where dedicated and low-paid SNAs finish the school year without knowing if their job and income is safe – and without the time to do anything about it if their post is gone," he said.

Die Saline Salzderhelden ist eine Saline in Salzderhelden in Südniedersachsen. Ihr 1884 errichteter Bohrturm wurde bei einem Brand im Jahr 2020 zerstört.

Vorgeschichte
Der Sage nach wurde die Salzquelle  1173 von einem Schweinehirten am Bergeshang entdeckt. Der Fund gab Anlass für die Entwicklung der Salzgewinnung, die Salzderhelden fast 800 Jahre lang prägte. Über die Frühzeit der Saline ist wenig bekannt, sie wurde etwa im 12. Jahrhundert gegründet. Erste Erwähnungen der Salzquelle datieren auf 1332 und 1337 in Urkunden von Herzog Ernst I. von Grubenhagen.

Baugeschichte
1586 erhielt der Salzbrunnen im Ort eine 240 Meter lange Wasserkunst, die in vier Metern Höhe die Straße überquerte. 1653 wurde ein Gradierwerk zur Anreicherung der Sole geplant, und 1662 wurde ein gemeinsames Salzvorratshaus erbaut. Ab 1693 wurde ein 112 Meter langes Gradierwerk angelegt und 1732 auf 225 Meter verlängert.

1757 wurde die Saline auf das Flurstück Flamke westlich des Dorfes verlegt, und ab 1772 wurden zwei Windmühlen für die Pumpen und auch das Gradierwerk neu erbaut. Zur Salzgewinnung kam 1851 mit der Eröffnung eines Solbads der Bade- und Kurbetrieb hinzu. Eine neue Sohlebohrung 1860 erreichte 450 Meter Tiefe, für die Förderung wurde eine Dampfmaschine errichtet, die die alte Salzkunst teilweise ersetzte. Die Salzkunst wurde 1885 vollständig stillgelegt. 1899 wurde ein Kaliwerk gebaut, das 1909 mit der Förderung begann, aber 1925 wieder stillgelegt wurde. 1920 wurde die Saline elektrifiziert. Die Transmission als Mittel der Kraftübertragung auf das Bohrgestänge behielt man bei, sodass im Landkreis Northeim heute neben der Blankschmiede Neimke ein zweites Beispiel dieser selten gewordenen Technologie erhalten ist.

1933 wurde der Betrieb fast ganz heruntergefahren, so dass nur noch zwei Pfannen arbeiteten. Nach dem Abriss der Siedehäuser blieben nur noch der Bohrturm und der Solebehälter erhalten. Letzterer, erbaut aus den Balken des alten Gradierwerkes, ist anders als an der Saline Sülbeck von Fachwerkmauern umgeben, sodass er von außen wie ein Haus aussieht.

Nutzungsgeschichte
Die flüssige Sole wurde mit dem Bohrturm nach oben befördert und in dem hölzernen Solereservoir zwischengelagert. Dann wurde das enthaltene Wasser in Siedepfannen, die in 15 Siedehäusern standen, in rund 50 bis 70 Stunden verdampft und schließlich im Darre-Gebäude gelagert, bis das Salz handelsfertig vorlag. Die Siedehäuser, die Kote genannt wurde, gehörten den in einer Pfännerschaft organisierten Salzsiedern.

Die Siedezeit der Pfänner dauerte damals von Anfang April bis Ende November, der Anteil der Pfänner und sonstiger Salinenarbeiter an der örtlichen Bevölkerung war gemäß dem Hausbuch von 1664 sehr hoch. Dieser hohe Anteil blieb während der gesamten Salinengeschichte bis Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts bestehen.

Ab 1963 übernahm die Stadt Einbeck die einst bedeutende Saline. Seitdem wurden dort nur noch Bäder und Inhalationen verabreicht. Einige Bewohner erlernten dort noch das Schwimmen.

2009 wurde der Bohrturm im Wesentlichen in ehrenamtlicher Arbeit restauriert und 2011 zu musealen Zwecken wieder eröffnet. In der Nacht zum 4. Juli 2020 brannte er trotz eines Feuerwehreinsatzes ab. Der Schaden wird auf 1,5 Millionen Euro geschätzt. Zur gleichen Zeit kam es in Einbeck zu einer Reihe von Brandstiftungen, aufgrund dessen die Polizei eine Ermittlungsgruppe einrichtete. Einem wegen 17 Bränden verurteilten 23-jährigen ehemaligen Feuerwehrmann konnte die Brandstiftung an der Saline jedoch nicht nachgewiesen werden. Darüber hinaus wurde im Zusammenhang mit der Brandserie eine 30-jährige Frau festgenommen, bei der unklar ist, für welche Feuer sie verantwortlich ist. Die Stadt Einbeck plant einen Wiederaufbau des abgebrannten Turms, möglicherweise als eine Interpretation des Vorgängerbaus am Beispiel der Phänomenta Lüdenscheid.

Congress enacted the REAL ID Act in 2005. The act created minimum security standards for types of identification and prohibited federal agencies, such as the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA), from accepting forms of identification that do not meet the new standard. A REAL ID compliant Driver License or Non-Driver Identification Card has to meet these standards in order to be used for federal identification purposes.
REAL ID Driver Licenses and Non-Driver Identification Cards will be available starting January 3, 2017.
REAL ID compliant identification (Driver License or Non-Driver Identification Card) will be indicated by a gold star symbol in the upper right hand corner.
Non-compliant identification will state "Not For Federal Identification"
After October 1, 2020, non-compliant identification (Driver License or Non-Driver Identification Card) will not be accepted for federal purposes such as air travel or access to federal facilities.
Yes, until October 1, 2020, your current identification will continue to be accepted for federal purposes. After October 1, 2020, your identification will need to be REAL ID compliant in order to be used for federal purposes such as air travel or access to federal facilities.
No. Receiving a REAL ID compliant Driver License or Non-Driver Identification Card is a choice, not a requirement.
Requesting a REAL ID compliant Driver License or Non-Driver Identification Card should be done at the time of your regular renewal. Because your current identification may be used for federal purposes until October 1, 2020, there is no need to come in early to do this.

The Vadavalli police in Coimbatore have registered a case against A. Ganapathy, Vice-Chancellor of Bharathiar University under provisions of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2015, as The Hindu reports.
A complaint was filed on 6 November by a woman belonging to Scheduled Caste, N.Srilakshmi Prabha, who alleged that the Vice Chancellor of the University purposely denied her postdoctoral fellowship.
Perur DSP A. Velmurugan is investigating the case.
Prabha had completed PhD from the Department of Biotechnology, Bharathiar University, in 2011 and later applied for the post of Assistant Professor in the same department in 2016.
However, she alleged that the University had involved in irregularities and that it had appointed someone else in her place. Prabha was eligible for the post. In spite of the that, it is alleged, the University failed to follow the reservation norms in appointments or filling up of vacancies.
However, Prabha was handed over a postdoctoral fellowship later and was directed to upload her verification proforma through the University Registrar before 31 July 2017. She did so, via her mentor, on 26 June.
But a problem arose when the University failed to forward the proforma to University Grants Commission (UGC) for verification. Prabha alleges that a similar case was repeated by the University when she uploaded her verification proforma yet again in September.
The complainant alleged that she lost her postdoctoral fellowship due to intentional and wilful refusal by the Vice-Chancellor to carry out his duties.
Prabha has also alleged that the University had removed her husband, R. Kanagaraj.
She approached the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC), New Delhi, on 29 July and the vice-chairman (NCSC) inquired into the issue on 14 September in Chennai. But the Vice-Chancellor did not comply the order of the NCSC.
The Vice-chancellor is booked under Sections 3 (1) (za) (E) (obstructs or prevents a member of a SC or an ST in any manner with regard to practising any profession or the carrying on any occupation, trade or business or employment in any job which other members of the public, or any section thereof, have a right to use or have access to), 3 (1) (r) ( intentionally insults or intimidates with intent to humiliate a member of a SC or an ST in any place within public view) and 3 (2) (va) (commits any offence specified in the Schedule, against a person or property, knowing that such person is a member of an ST or an ST Tribe) of the SC/ST PoA Act.
On 7 October, the Public Relations Officer of the University emailed the photocopy of a statement bearing the signatures of nine professors of the university syndicate who had extended their support to the VC.
The response written on a white paper without a letterhead claimed that the complainant was an unsuccessful candidate for the post of Assistant Professor in November 2016. A case filed by her before the High Court challenging the rejection of her candidature was dismissed as withdrawn on March 27, 2017. Another lawsuit filed against her is pending. Hence the university is not in a position to comment on it, the statement read.
About removal of Prabha's husband from office, the statement has pointed out that the decision to remove him was taken unanimously by the University syndicate and selection committee – he had come to work inebriated and had shown improper workplace behaviour like that of threatening. Some of the syndicate members were witness to the incident.

Adults had to use toddler booster seats to see Little Women
Cineworld's new seats are too tall admit staff
Ingrid Skeels, who was one of many cinema-goers to complain about Screen 12 at Cineworld, Hengrove (Image: Jon Kent/Bristol Live)
A Bristol cinema has installed new comfy seats - but they are so high-backed adults are having to use toddler booster seats to see the screen, some film-goers have complained.
The new seats have been installed at screen 12 of the Cineworld in Hengrove - which is not a tiered screening room.
Bosses at Cineworld in Hengrove have acknowledged the problem, and have been offering free tickets to anyone who complains - but disgruntled movie-goers are demanding more action, or at least warnings, to let people know about the problem.
One cinema-goer said after a screening of, ironically enough, Little Women last month, a group of strangers who'd been in the cinema joined together to confront the manager, and said he admitted the seats should not have been installed in that particular screen.
Ingrid Skeels, who went with her daughter Eve, 18, was one of them. She said the situation was ridiculous.

"It was obviously new seats, and those kind that are big with high backs," she said. "We noticed straight away that the seats in front were really high, and we couldn't see the screen, or at least all of it.
"My daughter is 5ft 8ins tall, so she's not small, and even she said she couldn't see the bottom of the screen even if she was sitting up very straight.
"Then we noticed other people were having the same issue. There were people going off and coming back with those hard plastic booster seats that toddlers use. These were adults using booster seats.

"People were moving to the end of the rows so they could peer around the seat in front to be able to see the screen. I suddenly thought: 'Oh my God, this is ridiculous!' There was a grandmother, daughter and granddaughter there and none of them could see," she said.
After the film finished, Ingrid and her daughter came out of the cinema and noticed someone complaining to a member of staff, and stopped to join in. She said that soon, pretty much everyone who had been watching the film had formed a group and were berating the manager.
"I felt sorry for him, really, because he explained that it wasn't his decision to install those seats," she said.

"In the end, he did admit it, and said 'we've had a lot of complaints', and it was obvious it had been like that for a while.
"It was humiliating, really, having adults sitting on booster seats," she added.
Ingrid followed up her complaint on the night with an email, and was offered two free tickets by Cineworld. She continued her complaint, because she said she wanted things to change.
"I emailed them three times. The first time they offered free tickets, the second time they replied by saying they are looking into it, working on it, or considering doing something different. Something needs to change - either they need to warn people, or just put seats in that screen that mean you can actually see the film," she said.
In Cineworld's reply to Ingrid, a spokesperson for Cineworld said a range of options to solve the problem are being considered.
"I can confirm that the management team is considering several options," she said.

"Please be advised that we cannot reduce the ticket price as all tickets are set at £5.50 as standard.
"The management team is working on a standard customer notice which they are planning to give to the staff in order for them to inform customers when purchasing the tickets. Customers will be informed that in Screen 12, there are high-back and not standard seats. In this way, customers will make a judgment on whether or not they wish to stay as they enter the screen," she added.
A spokesperson for Cineworld apologised to customers.
"We would like to apologise to the customers whose view was restricted at Cineworld Bristol," she said.
"As part of our investment in improved, more comfortable seating for our customers, we made the decision to install premium seats with no extra charge for visitors.
"Due to the seats having slightly higher backrests, this may have caused visibility to be a problem in this particular screen – no other screens have this issue.
"We are currently investigating this with the seat manufacturer and are working hard to find a solution for customers as soon as possible. Customer comfort and satisfaction remains our top priority," she added.

Q: AutoQuery/OrmLite incorrect total value when using joins I have this autoquery implementation
var q = AutoQuery.CreateQuery(request, base.Request).SelectDistinct();

var results = Db.Select<ProductDto>(q);

return new QueryResponse<ProductDto>
{
    Offset = q.Offset.GetValueOrDefault(0),
    Total = (int)Db.Count(q),
    Results = results
};

The request has some joins:
public class ProductSearchRequest : QueryDb<GardnerRecord, ProductDto>
    , ILeftJoin<GardnerRecord, RecordToBicCode>, ILeftJoin<RecordToBicCode, GardnerBicCode>
{

}

The records gets returned correctly but the total is wrong. I can see 40,000 records in database but it tells me there is 90,000.  There is multiple RecordToBicCode for each GardnerRecord so it's giving me the number of records multiplied by the number of RecordToBicCode.
How do I match the total to the number of GardnerRecord matching the query?
I am using PostgreSQL so need the count statement to be like
select count(distinct r.id) from gardner_record r etc...

Dores OrmLite have a way to do this?
I tried:
            var q2 = q;
            q2.SelectExpression = "select count(distinct \"gardner_record\".\"id\")";
            q2.OrderByExpression = null;
            var count = Db.Select<int>(q2);

But I get object reference not set error.

A: AutoQuery is returning the correct total count for your query of which has left joins so will naturally return more results then the original source table.
You can perform a Distinct count with:
Total = Db.Scalar<long>(q.Select(x => Sql.CountDistinct(x.Id));

5 Lessons We're Still Learning from THE LAST JEDI
by Lindsey Romain
Dec 14 2018 • 2:11 PM
It's been one year since The Last Jedi was released, changing both Star Wars and its fandom irrevocably. The ninth episode in the Skywalker saga reforged the foundation of what a Star Wars movie could be. It's ambitious, sprawling, dark, funny, harrowing, referentially cinematic, and perhaps most of all extremely divisive. The reaction seems split down the middle, with some camps firmly in love with its hard truths and bold new characters, and others betrayed by its treatment of Luke, its shifts in storytelling language, and its sharp left turn from the safer familiarity of predecessor The Force Awakens.There's no need rehashing the social media reaction to The Last Jedi. Wherever you may stand in the court of opinion, there's no doubt that writer/director Rian Johnson had plenty of ideas and messages to convey with the film. Here are five of our favorite tokens of wisdom relayed through the text and characters of The Last Jedi.
"That's how we're going to win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love."
Finn is a conflicted man. Unmoored from the First Order and without Rey, his place in the great battle is tenuous. In both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, he flirts with a rogue life, one removed from the noise of war. But he's also borne witness to the cost of inaction. He watched Han Solo die at the hands of a son shaped by his absence. He's betrayed by D.J., who sells him out to General Hux. "Live free, don't join," is D.J.'s motto, and by The Last Jedi's final act, Finn decides to abandon that hopeless pursuit and commit to the Resistance. But that commitment goes too far when, in the Battle of Crait, he tries launch himself into a fully charged First Order laser. It's a suicide run, as Poe points out; Finn is trying too hard to prove his allegiance. That's when Rose Tico swoops in. Finn asks the charming Resistance maintenance worker and his ally throughout the film why she stopped him, and that's when she utters the film's iconic line. Rose, who lost her sister in the film's opening sequence, bestows perhaps the most important message of The Last Jedi: that we mustn't lead with hate, that we must only fight for love. "Let go of your hate," Luke told Vader in Return of the Jedi. That line echoes through the character of Rose, who fights only with her heart.
"The greatest teacher, failure is."
Themes of failure run through every single major story thread in The Last Jedi. Rey fails to turn Kylo Ren to the light side. Finn and Rose fail their Canto Bight mission. Poe fails… well, a bunch of times. But the greatest failure is a perceived one: Luke's inability to tame the dark fire in his nephew, which sent him into isolation on Ahch-To, a planet in the most hidden corner of the galaxy. Rey finds him, begs him to train her, begs him to be the hero the Resistance needs, but his "failure" is so all-encompassing that he refuses the call, over and over. That is, until Yoda shows up. Luke's former mentor imparts on him words so powerful, I repeat them to myself almost daily: "The greatest teacher, failure is." A simple reminder that nudges Luke back to action, and that sends something beautiful to the audience. We are nothing if we do not fail. It's how we respond to that failure that defines our character.
"To say that if the Jedi die, the light dies, is vanity."
Though she is not boastful about or corrupted by it, Rey's ego drives her motivation in The Last Jedi. It's what tells her that she can retrieve Luke and save the day. It's what convinces her that Kylo can be turned, so long as she does the turning. It's most evident when she visits the dark side cave and is shown her greatest fear, one that she repeats to Kylo after defeating Snoke: That she comes from nobodies. Somewhere, in the deepest crook of her heart, she knows she isn't a legacy, and it haunts her. She ignores it until that confrontation with Kylo; it's her great flaw. And it's something Luke warned her about, when he spoke of the Jedi order's vanity and hubris. The ego that comes with great power can be your undoing. Rey learns this in the end, when she sets aside that vanity to help her friends on Crait. Luke also heeds his own words when he finally sets aside his failures, his own sort of vanity to buy the Resistance time and fill the galaxy with a message of hope.
"Hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it, you'll never make it through the night."
Speaking of hope, it is the banner purpose of the Resistance, a rag-tag band of rebels formed by Leia to defeat the First Order. Due to an injury, Leia spends much of The Last Jedi in a coma, but her words and inspiration still drive every member of her fleet. When Vice Admiral Holdo stands in conflict with the hot-headed Poe, who was demoted after his pride cost the lives of several pilots, she reminds him of this General Organa motto. It's Holdo's coded way of letting Poe know there is a plan in place, but it's also a salient reminder in times of darkness that the light still exists, however small.
"No one's ever really gone."
Luke's parting words to Leia have several meanings. He's speaking most directly about Kylo Ren, whose goodness Leia mourns. He's also talking about Han, made evident when he hands Leia her lost love's gold dice, which once hung in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon. But he's also talking about himself, for he knows he is about to use the last of his strength to "defeat" Kylo. In the end, he helps the Resistance flee by distracting Kylo, not with force or violence, but with the wisdom of a true Jedi master. His sacrifice isn't in vain, like it would have been had he simply cut Kylo down. He acts with principle, spreading a message of peaceful resistance in place of malice or anger. As we see from the final frames of The Last Jedi, word of Luke's nobility has spread through the galaxy. When our goodness prevails, we are, indeed, never really gone.

In a historic effort to measure the pulse of African American voters, the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) partnered with Howard University to conduct the first scientific poll of the Black community during the 2016 election cycle.
"The NNPA was pleased to join with one of the nation's leading historically Black colleges and universities, Howard University in Washington, D.C., to conduct, analyze, and present timely and strategic findings that pertain to the political, economic and social interests of Black Americans across the United States," said Benjamin Chavis, the president and CEO of the NNPA.
The 2016 Howard University/NNPA National Black Voters Poll covered a range of issues including racial inequality, criminal justice system, jobs and the economy, global trade, terrorism, education, immigration and environmental pollution.
Rubin Patterson, the chairman of the Department of Sociology and Criminology, said that the Black Voter Poll is of huge importance, not only because it is a collaborative product of two major Black institutions — Howard University and the National Newspaper Publishers Association — but also because it is the first scientific poll of the Black community concerning the 2016 election season.
"This multi-disciplinary team has drawn on its expertise to develop a comprehensive polling instrument designed to assess the opinions of Black Americans on the presidential candidates and other important issues facing the Black community and the nation," said Terri Adams-Fuller, the associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Howard University.
According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted in September, 93 percent of likely Black voters favored former Secretary Hillary Clinton in the presidential race; just three percent of likely Black voters favored the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.
