Thursday night is BBQ night here at Divewise!
Every Thursday night after work we have BBQ night at the Oki-ko-ki!
We started BBQ nights last year at the end of the season and we liked the idea so much that it has become a regular event.
Every Thursday night from now through October we will be cooking Ribs, Chicken and Pork on the seafront, enjoying few beers or a glass of wine with friends. I must admit, so far we shared a few laughs and It gives us a chance to get to know more about each other. Okay, this may sound strange, but there is never enough time during the day for a good discussion, we are just too busy looking after all our customers and making sure everybody is having a good time!
By all means, if you won't see us at Huggins at the end of the day, it might be Thursday night again!

Q: Combining Postgres jsonb query statements I have test table with votes column and I want to upsert nested jsonb object into it. My current query:
INSERT INTO test (post_id, username, votes)
VALUES (12345, 'testuser', '{"commentid" : {"vote": true }}'::jsonb)
  ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT test_pkey DO UPDATE
  SET votes = test.votes ||
('{"commentid" : {"vote": true} }'::jsonb || test.votes->'commentid')
  WHERE NOT test.votes @> EXCLUDED.votes
  RETURNING *;

test_pkey constraint is PRIMARY KEY (post_id, username)
How can I construct this statement
('{"commentid" : {"vote": true} }'::jsonb || test.votes->'commentid')

So postgresql would read it as
'{"commentid" : {"vote": true, test.votes->'commentid'} }'::jsonb

is it possible to somehow combine it like in json?
What this is supposed to do is make "commentid" key-value pair if one doesnt exist and combine them if it does.
I have tried using different variations of jsonb_set like
jsonb_set(test.votes,'{"commentid", vote}','true', true);

or
jsonb_set(test.votes,'{"commentid"}', test.votes->'commentid' || '{"vote":true}', true)

But the first one erases the whole votes object if "commentid" doesn't exist and second one replaces the whole votes object with second part of the statement.
If it's possible to make it work this way, I'd be able to return this data straight to frontend without any modification

A: What I ended up doing using inspiration from MatheusOl answer.
INSERT INTO test (post_id, username, votes)
VALUES (12345, 'testuser', '{"commentid" : {"vote": true }}'::jsonb)
  ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT test_pkey DO UPDATE

  SET votes = test.votes || coalesce(test.votes->'commentid', '{"commentid" : {"vote: true"}}'))
   || jsonb_set(test.votes, '{commentid,vote}', 'true'::jsonb)

WHERE NOT test.votes @> EXCLUDED.votes
RETURNING *;

When using his answer, "commentid" would still be overwritten, but I don't really understand why.
This doesn't do things very efficiently, as it recreates the "commentid" key every time as a new object, but in my case it will have significantly more reads than writes, so it should be fine

A: From what I gathered, you want to do:
SET votes = jsonb_set(
      test.votes,
      '{commentid}',
      coalesce(test.votes->'commentid', '{}') || EXCLUDED.votes->'commentid'
    )

The trick here is to use jsonb_set using {commentid} as the path you want to construct (second argument) and the third argument as already built value of commentid you want.
In order to build the third argument I first took the value of commentid from the existent row (test.votes->'commentid') and used COALESCE to set it to an empty json object ({}) if the current row does not have commentid. In other words, it will just assume empty json instead of NULL (SQL NULL, not json NULL). Then I simple concatenated it with the given commentid value (I assume that it does always have one, otherwise you'd need COALESCE there too).

Senior manager – confidence issues
Claire, a senior manager, had recently had a change of director and came to coaching to re-energise her career and move herself onto a new level. She presented as a thoughtful, introverted person and was having difficulty communicating effectively with a more extrovert boss. We worked through the issues and acted out some of the more difficult areas. She realised that style differences could be embraced and used effectively, beginning to see them as positive. We helped her understand how she could be more effective in meetings by putting forward her views in a more structured way so that people would listen. Over time, her manner became more persuasive as she learnt and practised new skills around communication. She was better able to articulate her strengths and finally moved to a different role which played very well to these strengths and became happier and more confident as a result.

The keynoter at this year's SEICO will be Peter Wu, VP/chief scientist at Spirit AeroSystems (Wichita, Kan.), who will discuss how technology advancements are changing the aerospace industry. After that, attendees will find a number of sessions on topics of interest to HPC readers, including computer modeling, liquid molding, nanotechnology, automation, sandwich structures, recycling, testing, thermoplastics, green composites, nondestructive testing, process control and tooling.
Notable technical papers will cover surface modification of glass fibers using carbon nanotubes, flow-front monitoring in resin transfer molding, consolidation of commingled polypropylene/glass roving in the filament winding process, and fracture properties of polypropylene sandwich structures.
SEICO 09 attendees who either register for all three days or purchase a part-time registration that includes Monday, March 23, will be invited to attend the SEICO 09 Jubilee Conference Gala Dinner. The Gala takes place at the Hotel Mercure on Monday, from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Additionally, all SEICO 09 attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the SEICO 09 Conference Proceedings, processed in English, on a CD.
Just a few blocks away, the 2009 JEC Composites Show convenes March 24-26 at the Paris Expo in Porte de Versailles. The timing of SEICO 09 and the JEC event is offset to allow SEICO attendees one full day to visit the JEC Exhibits without missing conference events. SEICO 09 attendees who arrive at the JEC Show entrance wearing a SEICO badge will have free access to the exhibition floor, and the Hotel Mercure will offer free shuttle service to and from the Paris Expo (8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.).
Despite the global economic slowdown, show organizers remain optimistic that composites professionals will again flock to what has become the industry's largest annual event, predicting that 27,000 attendees (visitors plus exhibitors) from 96 countries will pass through the exhibit floor. Awaiting them will be 1,050 "exhibiting brand names" represented in displays spread out over 46,500m² (500,500 ft²) of exhibit space (for the names and stand locations of JEC Show exhibitors, see the JEC Composites 2009 Exhibitor List" (below) and accompanying map, at right).
This year's event has a threefold theme, emphasizing three distinct industry trends toward "Automation, Subcontracting and Biocomposites." In line with these emphases, the JEC Group will consider two of the three trends in new end-user Forums — Automation, Biocomposites and Wind Energy. The new Forums will expand the program's current "markets" focus on Aeronautics, Automotive, Ground Transport, Marine and Building & Construction. Pavilions on the show floor also will be organized by end market as well as geographic location. End markets will include Automotive, Aerospace, Rail, and Construction. Country pavilions include Germany, France, China, India, Brazil, U.S., South Africa and more.
JEC also announced plans for a Composite Business Meetings program, intended to bring together composites professionals in research and academic disciplines with those in the industrial sector. "Our mission is to connect science, technology, industry and end market," says JEC Group president/CEO Frédérique Mutel. The program will be introduced in Paris and then repeated at the JEC Asia trade fair in Singapore, in October. Attendees (both suppliers and end-users of composites) have been encouraged to preregister for the free program. Three weeks prior to the show, registrants will be able to select from an online list of specific meetings they would like to attend.
On the show floor, as usual, exhibitors will find the popular JEC Innovation Awards Showcase. The winners have been announced, and HPC readers can preview winning entries in this issue's "News."

We all had an emo tween phase, right?
In the Words of Eurythmics, "Sweet memes are made of this."
Those sneaky Greeks had it right when they invaded Troy. As the classic tale goes, the Greeks snuck into the walled city of Troy by presenting them with a giant horse statue. The impressive figure, which the Greeks claimed was an offering to Athena after their "return home," was in fact filled with Greek soldiers prepared to open the gates for their hidden countrymen. The story is impressive, and now memers are a 2015 illustration of the subterfuge as an object labeling meme. The results are pretty glorious.

Regular maintenance is very important to the durability and toughness of Honda CR-V car. Regular maintenance is also impacting the lower maintenance and repair costs of the Honda CR-V car. Honda CR V transmission fluid type always sides by side with the machining.
It is one thing that is not with because it is a fundamental usability on the oil is as a lubricant when occurring friction between components or another machine. For Lubrication or lubricant oil is also used in the transmission that often we know two types.
The transmission that often we know two types namely transmission oil manual transmission and automatic, the use of oil is not the same. Manual transmission oil is able to use up to 10,000 km, in the State of the roads is not jammed or every six months. Whereas, in particular, should automatic oil changed every 20,000 km multiples.
It turns out that there is a difference in function between oil manual transmission with automatic transmission oil though in the name is the transmission oil. On the manual transmission oil serves only as a lubricant that smooth the workings of the components of the engine only, while in an automatic transmission, in addition to working as a lubricant, fuel oil and also serves as a conductor in the automatic gearshift mechanism.

Collar and tag fines given
Three residents have been fined by Leicester Magistrates' Court after failing to ensure their dogs were wearing an identity tag after being picked up as a stray.
The Control of Dogs Order (1992) says that a dog in a public place must wear a collar or bearing the name and address (including postcode) of the owner engraved or written on it, or engraved on a tag.Under the law Blaby District Council has no option to offer a fixed penalty notice, with all cases being prosecuted at a Magistrates' Court.
Brian McFarlane of Queens Road, Blaby had his Staffordshire Bull Terrier picked up as a stray at the Texaco Petrol Station on Lutterworth Road, Blaby. He entered a plea of not guilty but did not attend court. Mr McFarlane's case was proven in absence and he was found guilty. He was fined £320 and ordered to pay £40 in costs and a £32 victim surcharge.
Kay Merry of Earl Smith Close, Whetstone, was ordered to pay £225 after her Collie was found on Attfield Drive, Whetstone as a stray. She entered a guilty plea and was fined £53, ordered to pay £140 in costs and a £32 victim surcharge.
The German Shepherd of John Ashmore was picked up as a stray on Seine Lane, Enderby. Mr Ashmore, of Desford Road, Enderby, pleaded guilty to the offence and was given a conditional discharge. He was also ordered to pay £140 in costs and to pay a £20 victim surcharge.
All three dogs picked up by the Council were wearing collars, but failed to have any identifiable tag attached. Tags can be bought and engraved from as little as £2.50 online, or from pet shops across the local area.
Councillor Iain Hewson, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Regulatory Services, said: "We want to reiterate how important it is for dogs to have an identifiable collar or tag when out in a public area. Complying with the law means you are likely to get your dog back much quicker and not picked up by us as a stray.
"We know that dogs can sometimes accidentally get out into a public area unattended, and we hope these fines continue to raise awareness and ensure that in any scenario a dog that can easily be identified can be returned quickly by anyone."

Sampling is the old method of building a brand. In this method ,the marketer giving free sample of their products to the selected customer.and then they takes the views o this product.Once the customer tries our brand,then we will find that he is satisfied or not.If not satisfied then you can proceed to more changes and make familiar with the customers.
There are many companies in India using this method to promote their products.Not only FM CG company but also the Industrial products and pharmaceutical industry also.
Sampling can be more powerful than advertising.But the it's necessary to be handled by care otherwise its lead to wastage of time and money.

Sidewalks & Pathways plan and budget
Mobility designs and maintains Calgary's network of sidewalks and pathways. This pathway system is one of the most extensive metropolitan pathway networks in North America. With traffic control and safety, sweeping and snow control, Mobility supports active travel modes and wheeling for all ages and abilities.
Sidewalks, pathways, trails and protected on-street bikeways connect communities and provide Calgarians with safe and accessible year-round opportunities to walk, cycle, run, ride, and use mobility devices. We focus on inclusive, equitable, safe, accessible and reliable sidewalks and pathways to ensure that walking and wheeling are viable and attractive options for all Calgarians.
Calgary's sidewalk and pathway network is enjoyed by commuters and recreational users of all age groups and abilities.
The network supports active travel modes and connects people to services and amenities such as parks, parking, public transit, and other locations.
Businesses, utilities, and festivals use the space for access and special events.
Agencies and industry stakeholders across public and private sectors to deliver services that Calgarians need.
The construction industry
Community/business associations
The Calgary Policy Service are also engaged regarding safety initiatives.
enables Calgarians to realize the physical and mental health benefits of walking and wheeling
provides safe, accessible, and walkable connections to neighbours, shopping, services, and natural spaces
supports clear rules and processes for businesses to access sidewalks and pathways for special uses
aims to provide alternative modes of travel that adhere to the Always Available for All Ages and Abilities (5A) guidelines
supports growth of an active sidewalk pathway network in the city by developing comprehensive plans for future networks and design standards to be used by developers and communities
The Sidewalks & Pathways service includes the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of approximately 5,900 km of concrete sidewalks, 1,100 km of paved pathways, 150 km of designated trails, and protected bikeways.
Elements that support Sidewalks & Pathways include pedestrian bridges, pedestrian corridors, rapid flashing beacons, pedestrian-activated flashers, crosswalks, and lighting.
Our Sidewalks & Pathways service

Snow and ice control completion at prioritized transit/accessible locations within targeted timeframes
The Citizen Satisfaction Survey shows a positive trend with satisfaction for our service performance at 94 per cent. The pathway network is considered either as "Very Important" or "Somewhat Important" by the public (66 per cent and 28 per cent, respectively, totaling 94 per cent).
However, Calgarians shared a lower satisfaction with snow clearing on sidewalks along Calgary's main roads (69 per cent). We will continue to monitor performance indicators, and the new Snow and Ice Control Policy will address some concerns. Almost an equal percentage of Calgarians agree that The City should increase the budget for snow and ice removal on sidewalks (63 per cent). Calgarians expect accessibility improvements and in response, we plan to install wheelchair ramps. Survey results indicate that the overall desire to further invest in sidewalks and pathways is 49 per cent.
The expectations of Calgarians are changing as demographics and behaviors evolve. Furthermore, the city's growth continues to drive network expansion and the need to connect communities. Hence, we continually monitor and adjust to trends that impact delivery of the Sidewalks & Pathways service. These adjustments include an increasing focus on pedestrian and cyclist safety, an emphasis on year-round accessibility and wayfinding, and the long-term impact of the pandemic on the economy. Insufficient funding to maintain/upgrade related infrastructure is also a key risk.
Emerging transportation technologies such as e-bikes, scooters and pedelecs, and business models such as undocked bike sharing are changing how we move. There is also a growing number of commercial activities such as festivals and mobile vendors that use our street and pathway network. Thus, we continue to monitor provincial, national and international standards and trends that promote safe walking and wheeling activities.
Our service focuses on accessibility, innovative design, pedestrian and cyclist safety and education, reliability, connecting communities, wayfinding improvements, supporting commercial activities, modernizing service delivery, and adopting safe walking and wheeling practices.
Enhance support for walking and wheeling as preferred mobility choices to and beyond schools, shopping, parks, recreational and other locations by prioritizing Always Available for All Ages and Abilities (5A) routes, enabling coordinated lifecycle replacements with adjacent roadway assets and other engineering measures that connect or extend routes, and address missing sidewalk or pathway links.
Provide innovative and environmentally-friendly approaches to sidewalk design and construction, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions through the exploration and implementation of carbon upcycling practices, using waste material such as fly ash in concrete sidewalks and by adopting the usage of glass materials in new use categories such as concrete construction.
Improve the availability and use of sidewalks and pathways infrastructure to Calgarians by enhancing coordination, engagement, collaboration, feedback and communication activities with workgroups, supporting partners and impacted communities.
Improve the safety, accessibility and attractiveness of the pedestrian realm through continuous improvement, design, maintenance, innovation, benchmarking, and implementation of related programs and technology such as piloting the use of heave phenomena control devices that control the expansion and contraction of concrete.
Strengthen the culture of safety throughout the sidewalks and pathways network by establishing safety protocols and projects through the Safer Mobility Plan, and exploring opportunities for more social media-based campaigns and short animated clips about safe pedestrian behavior that would engage various age groups and focus on the shared responsibility of safety for all sidewalk, pathway and roadway users.

Q: Pandas shift logic I have a dataframe like:
col1 customer
 1    a
 3    a
 1    b
 2    b
 3    b
 5    b

I want the logic to be like this:
col1 customer  col2
 1    a         1
 3    a         1
 1    b         1
 2    b         2
 3    b         3
 5    b         3

as you can see, if the customer has consistent values in col1, give it, if not, give the last consistent number which is 3
I tried using the df.shift() but I was stuck
Further Example:
col1
1
1
1
3
5
8
10

he should be given a value of 1 because that's the last consistent value for him!

A: Update
If you have more than one month, you can use this version:
import numpy as np

inc_count = lambda x: np.where(x.diff(1) == 1, x, x.shift(fill_value=x.iloc[0]))
df['col2'] =  df.groupby('customer')['col1'].transform(inc_count)
print(df)

# Output
   col1 customer  col2
0     1        a     1
1     3        a     1
2     1        b     1
3     2        b     2
4     3        b     3
5     5        b     3

Maybe you want to increment a counter if the next row value following the current one:
# Same as df['col1'].diff().eq(1).cumsum().add(1)
df['col2'] = df['col1'].eq(df['col1'].shift()+1).cumsum().add(1)
print(df)

# Output
   col1 customer  col2
0     1        a     1
1     3        a     1
2     1        b     1
3     2        b     2
4     3        b     3
5     5        b     3

Or for each customer:
inc_count = lambda x: x.eq(x.shift()+1).cumsum().add(1)
df['col2'] = df['col2'] = df.groupby('customer')['col1'].transform(inc_count)
print(df)

# Output
   col1 customer  col2
0     1        a     1
1     3        a     1
2     1        b     1
3     2        b     2
4     3        b     3
5     5        b     3

Q: Showing $\overline{N(A,\epsilon)}=\{x\in\mathbb R^n \ | \ \rho(x,A)\leq\epsilon\}$ For nonempty $A\subset\mathbb R^n$and a point $x\in\mathbb R^n$, the distance is defined as below.
$$\rho(x,A)=\inf\{\|x-y\| \ | \ y\in A\}$$
And in this question, a cover contains $A$ is defined as below.
$${N(A,\epsilon)}=\{x\in\mathbb R^n \ | \ \rho(x,A)<\epsilon\}$$
I found $N(A,\epsilon)$ is an open set, and next I have to show that its closure has the formula $\{x\in\mathbb R^n \ | \ \rho(x,A)\leq\epsilon\}$.
My approach was to show that each side is in the other side, but I got stucked here : I cannot find that the right side is in the left side.
Could anyone give me some hints? Is there other elegant short proof?

A: It's not clear what you mean by right and left side.  Nonetheless, I'm guessing you're having trouble with proving
$$\{x \in \mathbb{R}^{n} \, \mid \, \rho(x,A) \leq \epsilon\} \subseteq \overline{N(x,\epsilon)}.$$
Try this: if $\rho(x,A) = \epsilon$, then we know that for each $\delta > 0$ there's an $a \in A$ such that $$\|x - a\| < \epsilon + \delta.$$  Now consider the line passing through $x$ and $a$.  Intuitively, if I move along this line just a little, I will be closer to $a$ than $x$ was and, hopefully, I can do this in such a way that, in fact, the distance to $a$ is less than $\epsilon$.
Try this: move a distance $2 \delta$ along the line away from $x$ and toward $a$.  Call this point $y$.  How close is $y$ to $a$?  How close is $y$ to $x$?  (This trick is happening in $1$ dimension so we can draw it and treat everything like we're on a ruler, at least to start with.) By the way, at most how far is $y$ from $A$?  (i.e. do we have an upper bound on $\rho(y,A)$?)
Now, this construction works for every $\delta > 0$ so if you have the right answers to the previous three questions and you're happy with the definition of closure we should be good to go.

A Working TSMO Partnership Between Iowa DOT and Iowa State University's Institute for Transportation - Celebrating Six Years of Successful Collaboration
IN THIS CASE STUDY YOU WILL LEARN
The Iowa Department of Transportation (IOWA DOT) was one of the first in the nation to establish an active partnership with an academic institution.
The agency and the DOT work together to establish real world TSMO solutions on an almost daily basis.
In developing strategic and technological solutions, the partners are redefining industry workforce needs.
The Iowa DOT was one of the first in the nation to integrate TSMO into its operations. In 2013, the agency established the Office of Traffic Operations to focus on ITS, work zones, emergency management, data management, analytics, and traffic incident management. At the same time, and based on a long 20-plus year partnership, the DOT contracted with the Iowa State University's Institute for Transportation (InTrans) to provide research and support.
Iowa DOT has top down leadership support for operations and TSMO activities, with a great deal of effort going into understanding needs and integration opportunities. Because of that, the partnership between the agency and InTrans was natural. As of FY 2017, 42 people, mostly faculty and students were engaged in supporting the Iowa DOT in this collaboration.
It's a Roll Up Your Sleeves and Get to Work Effort
InTrans works with Iowa DOT staff daily from across the Operations Bureau's five offices (Operations, Traffic and Safety, Maintenance, Construction and Materials, and Motor Vehicle Enforcement). In addition, Hawkins meets with the Iowa DOT Operations Bureau on a monthly basis. The InTrans traffic and operations team meets internally on a weekly basis and then with the DOT formally on a monthly basis. The contract is managed through these meetings as well as at the project and task levels. InTrans also provides quarterly updates.
At InTrans, students, faculty and staff support the DOT to generate not only practice ready solutions for the DOT but also scholarship, discovery, and implemented innovation. InTrans finds that doing small, practically applied projects for the Iowa DOT leads to qualifications that compete at the regional and federal level. Even prior to the DOT's TSMO plan and service layers, InTrans saw that it could help the Iowa DOT navigate data, provide best practices for identifying and managing large data sets, facilitate data quality, streaming, cloud computing, and leverage innovation in a rapidly changing space.
Working Within Iowa DOT's Service Layers
The TSMO efforts are focused in five service areas: workforce development, traffic management, cooperative automated transportation (CAT), traffic incident management (TIM), and intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
Another area related to data management is ease of access to information. A lot of what InTrans does is make information accessible. If organizations are going to be more data-driven, they need data to be easily accessible. As an example, the Iowa DOT has thousands of TIM plans which were PDF maps that contained access links to traffic incident management routes and alternative routes. InTrans built an interactive map allowing single-click access to critical information. Another example is the use of tools such as Tableau to help users understand relationships among data. InTrans also works to improve the quality of data, ensuring its usefulness and accuracy.
Expanding the Academic Streams
Academically, InTrans faculty are a part of Iowa State University's Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) Department with a traditional curriculum for civil infrastructure, roads, traffic signals, structural analysis, pavement materials, etc. However, effectively managing statewide traffic operations requires some new skill sets and this is where we saw some opportunity. Our team now consists of both civil, mechanical, and computer engineering students working together to manage large sets of data, work with high performance computing clusters, vast amounts of streaming data, computational processing, machine learning, performance reporting, and visualization. We are offering specific courses covering coding and these essential next generation transportation professional skills to our students who are then getting advanced degrees, and working in our industry as well as going to work at high-tech companies such as Amazon Web Services, Nvidia, and Microsoft.
Lowering the Risk
The annual plan was agreed upon but the detailed scopes were established as needs arose. This approach lowered the risk for both sides and left room to zig and zag according to discovery and what makes sense for both groups to pursue given what the Office of Traffic Operations was facing. The DOT also hires consultants for short term projects, and often, InTrans provides information on data sources, data downloads, calculations, or other services on behalf of DOT to their consultants. This arrangement has proven beneficial when the Iowa DOT wants InTrans to support TSMO efforts for internal and external partners such as Motor Vehicle Enforcement, Iowa State Patrol, and other groups.
While TSMO isn't identified as a specific curriculum, Intrans integrates the practice into projects and courses being taught by faculty. InTrans has created a set of tools that it has introduced into the classroom. One example is Tableau, which is data visualization software that helps engineers make decisions based on data. In addition, faculty engaged in working with InTrans have modified some graduate courses to use these tools and implement some operations related skills such as coding, data management, etc. An example is the course in traffic engineering which has been revised to incorporate new content on data alongside the more traditional basic traffic flow and control concepts.
Students in these classes also work with the live streams of data coming from the DOT. This requires students to understand the architecture of the ITS system to correctly interpret and process the stream data. They also must work with quality issues that arise with the data and the practical applications of using this information.
This is a Workforce Issue
This collaboration has helped to identify future workforce needs such as basic code writing to fetch or manipulate data, working with data feeds at one minute frequencies, understanding data architecture, cloud management, and so on. That applied research is then taken by Iowa State University faculty back to their classes to show students what's being done and why there's a need for it, and provide more formal training along these lines. The potential benefits for these student careers and our industry is significant.
There is a need, and our research support efforts create the demand, for transportation students to have a different set of skills to be leaders in our industry. This includes understanding streaming data sources like INRIX and HERE which is on a one minute frequency with varying segmentation and data quality aspects; knowing how to fetch and calculate massive data sets which are coming at you like a firehose; and in being comfortable with resulting accuracies, tools to relate performance with crash experience, and in thinking about how all this relates to connectedness and autonomy.
The Iowa DOT has a broad and considerable focus on TSMO training. They are looking to create a certain level of competency, understanding of operational (TSMO) concepts, understanding of roles, and impact to different areas within the agency. Ultimately it is not the term "TSMO" that identifies actions it is more than just the way they do business, with an operational mindset.
Outcomes, Opportunities, and Challenges of the Collaboration
Faculty, Student, and DOT Staff Development Through Exposure to TSMO Related Areas
The Iowa DOTs continued focus on operations led to a reorganized Operations Bureau which includes not only Traffic and Safety, Operations, and Maintenance, but also Construction and Materials as well as Motor Vehicle Enforcement. The bureau has established a TSMO strategic plan, programmatic plan along with eight service layers which include discussion and analysis of opportunities and challenges, existing conditions assessment, gap analysis, recommendations, and a more detailed five-year service layer plan cost estimate for each service layer. Staff training is a key component within the 5-Year TSMO Program Activities, Policies, and Procedures.
There is some learning process along the way in terms of what TSMO is and how it affects a specific topic such as work zone. Both the DOT and the university are working everyday in areas related to TSMO including measuring and monitoring performance, work zone, mobility (congestion, delay, reliability, travel time, etc.), data management, quality, alerting, and safety. InTrans supports DOT to address needs and gaps and is providing tools and research in these areas.
On behalf of the Iowa DOT, InTrans personnel attends national conferences on operations and digital infrastructure and freight with an eye on connected and autonomous vehicles as well as TSMO. In one case, InTrans personnel were part of a national committee that's moving work zone data to a new level. In addition, InTrans serves the DOT through participation on the TSMO Steering Committee and related sub-committees.
This is a true collaboration. Everything InTrans has done in terms of data, equipment, and performance has fed into the same channels as TSMO.
The Iowa DOT was one of the first to establish a TSMO program with formal service layers and documentation which defines what TSMO is, what areas to focus on, gaps, etc. While other organizations may view TSMO as a checkbox for compliance, the Iowa DOT is changing the culture of how they are organized and operate.
InTrans helps with Innovation and advanced capabilities, but at the same time, it gets insights into the Iowa DOT's needs and gaps. As a result, InTrans has expanded technically with tools in areas such as law enforcement and better understanding crashes beyond what would have been done in the past.
One area where InTrans greatly benefits the Iowa DOT is integration across its different offices. The individual offices are focused on their projects and objectives and work with other offices as needed. InTrans, however, has the ability to work with each individual office and yet take a higher-level view. InTrans can see how data are used across DOT and by external users like DOT consultants.
As an example, InTrans developed a motorcycle crash tool for Traffic and Safety to interactively explore crashes with unlimited searches and spatial map display. The tool was presented to Motor Vehicle Enforcement who were challenged to consider how such a tool might help their daily efforts. This quickly evolved into a Heavy Truck Crash Tool with similar functionality yet custom filters for MVE and Iowa State Patrol district boundaries. These data are updated monthly with the goal being daily.
A similar effort is on-going in winter maintenance where InTrans is developing real-time tools based on AVL data feeds integrated with other roadway, operations, and infrastructure data.
InTrans staffing includes professional and scientific staff along with faculty and students, from undergraduate up through postdoctoral, and even visiting scholars. InTrans now has five principals who are supporting DOT (none are full-time) with three of these being faculty who have from five to ten students mostly engaged in operations and related activities.
Organizational Capability Element


Aleksandra Janković, deputy director of 14. Oktobar, told OCCRP that the factory currently employs over 160 people and that the management is currently coming up with an investment plan to refurbish it.
"Contracts with third parties are a company secret," she said.


MythTV, for me anyway, is no longer just a myth. After a good bit of playing around, I finally have a MythTV box up and running. And I have to say, it's pretty nice. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I'm learning it's evil ways.
First, I didn't end up doing the Ubuntu -> MythTV way. The instructions I found here and here were great. Very detailed and helpful. The problem is that I kept having trouble with my graphics card, or the IR receiver, or something (but it usally had something to do with graphics card or IR receiver). So, I started looking around for more help and found MythDora and KnoppMyth. MythDora was really pretty cool looking. It uses Fedora for the OS, the open source version of Red Hat Linux. But it didn't have the IR receiver working correctly, so I moved on to KnoppMyth. Both MythDora and KnoppMyth were extremely easy to install, but everything just worked in KnoppMyth. I didn't have to touch any config files, or do anything special to get it up and running. Just followed the instructions, and presto, it was up and running.
I did, however, have a couple of issues. First, you have to make sure you select the correct frequency table. For me, it's "us-cable". I accidently left it as "default" and nothing worked. AND, there are two different places in the setup where you have to make sure it's set to us-cable (or whatever is needed for your situation). The last issue I had took the longest time to figure out. I could see the video on all the channels, but on the higher channels the video was choppy, jittery, fuzzy, and whatever other word you can think of for BAD. The lower the channel the better the video became. So, channel 2 was fine while 99 was completely unwatchable. I searched high and low trying to find an answer for that. I tried changing the bitrate. I tried completely reinstalling the whole thing. I figured I had screwed something up, and since the system had installed on the 40gig drive instead of the 200gig drive, I figured I could kill two birds with one stone. But, that didn't fix it either. During my research I saw something about the resolution, that MythTV defaults to 480x480, but that 4:3 tv is 640x480 and DVD is 720x480, etc. Since I was in the setup trying to figure out the bad video problem I thought I'd up the resolution to something higher. Changed it to 640x480 and noticed that the picture was better but still bad. I thought, "hmmm, maybe it needs to be 720x480? But that doesn't make sense, the table clearly says that 4:3 TV is 640x480. Well, it can't hurt to try..." And whamo! The picture was crystal clear! Oh happy days!
Since then (2 days ago), I have been playing with it, and figuring it all out. I need a new remote, one that has page up and page down buttons on it. When you go into the program guide, you have to scroll up or down one channel at a time. Page up and page down would make going through the guide much easier and quicker.
I have also discovered that live tv is recording all the time. So, you may not be home, but if you left it with the tv playing, it will record every program on that channel. Which then screws up the recorded program listing. So, I now make sure it's left on a menu when I'm not watching anything. I also think it would be wise to not ever watch live tv. Just watch the recorded programs and you never have to worry about extra programs in the recorded programs list. It would, however, be nice if the system would immediately remove those programs when you change a channel, or go back to the menu.
Setting up scheduled programs is a bit tricky. It's not bad, it's just that there are a ton of settings to choose from. I like Tivo's season pass option. Just tell it that you want a season pass, that you want new episodes only, and how many you want kept, and that's pretty much it. But in MythTv, there are options for everything. It's crazy (in a good way). And at first, I thought there was no way to tell it to record new episodes only, but I accidently found it under "Check duplicates for" option.
Other than that, it wasn't too bad setting up. The only bad thing now is that I want another tuner. I have the Hauppauge PVR-150, and I would love a PVR-500. That is the one that is a dual tuner card. And my long term goal is to set up another box, put a PVR-350 in it (that has hardware mpeg decoding built in) and make it a frontend box and make the current box a backend server. And eventually, I'll get a couple of HDTV tuners for off the air programming. But since I don't, yet, have an HDTV TV, it won't much matter. But father's day is around the corner?!?!


OffenderLink's PCM module is the core of all OffenderLink implementations. With all the feature enhancements over the past 12 years since the program's initial launch in Missouri in 2002, agencies often ask us why they can't use OffenderLink for all their Case Management needs.
As agencies become more comfortable with a true SaaS model offering we determined the timing was right to expand the program beyond our current program specific EBP tools to allow for agencies to migrate to OffenderLink as their primary case management toolset.
With the addition of an intake module we have added the capability for agencies to do just that. The system may not include all the features and functions required of larger more complex agencies, it has the core components that make it a solid choice for the smaller to mid-size agencies.
This creates a more efficient workflow focused system without the headaches of an internally managed and supported hardware-centric solution.
OffenderLink is fully hosted within Fieldware's multiple datacenters and is developed using the latest technology including Microsoft.NET, Microsoft SQL Server database and a highly scalable telephony infrastructure. The web system is compatible with all current browsers and utilizes 128-bit SSL security. The IVR system can be accessed from any touchtone phone including cell and payphones.
As agencies look to implement strategies like Evidence Based Practices to better manage their growing populations with the same or shrinking resources, OffenderLink is the perfect solution.

Amin Asikainen (born 21 January 1976) is a Finnish former professional boxer who competed from 2001 to 2011, and in 2016. He held the European and European Union middleweight titles between 2006 and 2007, and the Finnish middleweight title in 2003. His nickname of "Idi" refers to the similarity of his first name to that of Idi Amin.

Early life
Amin was born in 1976 to a Moroccan father and a Finnish mother. At the age of six, he started playing football and training karate and taekwondo when he was around age of nine, but abandoned the sports in favor of boxing when he was twelve. A childhood friend of his, Joni Turunen, also became a successful amateur boxer.

Amateur boxing
Asikainen has fought a total of 175 amateur matches, winning 135 of them. He was the Finnish champion in 1996, 1998 and 1999, and also won in Tammer-, GeeBee-, Copenhagen Box Open- and Karl Leman tournaments.

Professional career
Asikainen won his first professional title in 2003, beating Kai Kauramaki to win the Finnish middleweight title.

Asikainen later won the EBU-EU middleweight championship on 5 May 2006 after beating the Frenchman Christophe Tendil by a knockout in the fifth round. After beating Sebastian Sylvester, a German, on 3 June 2006, Asikainen became the EBU Middleweight Champion.

Asikainen defended the title twice, first against Alexander Sipos on 6 October 2006, and then against Lorenzo Di Giacomo on 30 January 2007.

Sylvester regained the European middleweight title with TKO-victory in June 2007 in Zwickau, Germany.

In March 2007, Asikainen had been contracted to fight a rematch against Germany's Sebastian Sylvester for the European title, however, Asikainen pulled out due to injury and Sylvester faced Italian Alessio Furlan instead. The rematch between Asikainen and Sylvester took place in June 2007. Sylvester knocked Asikainen down twice in the eleventh round before the fight was stopped by the referee.

In 2011 in Helsinki Amin Asikainen lost to Piotr Wilczewski by TKO in the eleventh round, retiring from the sport soon after.

On 22 April 2016, 40 years old Asikainen returned to the ring for a single match beating Ivan Jukic with points.

Professional boxing record

Other
Asikainen is featured in the 2009 sports game Fight Night Round 4.

Is this the least goop-y trip Gwyneth Paltrow has ever taken?
From promoting her newest cookbook, It's All Easy, to announcing the launch of goop's new clothing line, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that Gwyneth Paltrow is taking over the world.
The goop mama's secret to doing it all with gusto? Traveling often – but not without heading to a sauna to "sweat out all the germs from the plane" as soon as she arrives at her destination. Classic Gwyneth.
Gwyneth headed to Cuzco – the capital of the Inca empire – and Lima, Peru's capitol today.
Gross but true: Macchu Picchu was probably built on llama droppings, according to the BBC.
Gwyneth hit up the Pisac market, which sells ceramics, jewelry, and textiles, according to Fodor's.
Located in between Cuzco and the jungle, Ollantaytambo is one of the best examples of Inca city planning, according to Lonely Planet.
Though tourist season in Peru peaks in July and August – its driest months of the year – Gwyneth, Apple, and Moses headed to Peru after checking out Chris Martin's Coldplay concert in Argentina.
The Inca has no written language, so scholars are still trying to figure out why they built Machu Picchu – which National Geographic calls "one of the most important architectural sites in the world."
According to National Geographic, landmarks at Machu Picchu line up with astronomical events such as the solstice sunset.
The sunset Instagram post is a total Gwyneth move.
If you love fashion photography, make it a point to visit MATE, a museum founded by Vogue photographer Mario Testino to showcase Peruvian artists.

Oxford Comic Con - OXCON
Comics, cosplay, popular culture and intellectual debate! A unique event in the world!
Examination Schools, 75-81 High Street, Oxford OX1 4BG, Sat 21 April 2018
OxCon 2018 is the third run of Oxford's local comic convention, which takes over the Examination Schools and fills them with all things geeky. The event has guests from Star Wars, Marvel and Farscape, indie and mainstream comics traders, and a cosplay contest for those who want to show off their costume skills. You can also listen to talks about 1950s horror comics, the interplay between art and science, and 'neoarchetypes in science fiction as a methodological framework for studying xenointelligences' (it is Oxford, after all).
Taking place at the Examination Schools on the High Street, OxCon is running from 10am-5pm on Saturday 21st April. Tickets are £14.50 for the whole day, or £10.50 for entry after 12 noon. The Examination Schools have ramped access and disabled toilet facilities, and people can contact the convention organisers if they have any other accessibility needs. Costumes are welcome at the convention, although do read the guidelines and regulations!
Examination Schools
75-81 High Street Oxford OX1 4BG
Alice Nuttall April 24, 2018
Fun and family-friendly
For the third year running, the Examination Schools were transformed for OxCon, Oxford's own local comic convention. Stormtroopers, cosplayers and comic vendors arrived, along with an array of guests from fan favourites such as Star Wars and Farscape, and spent an action-packed day with the convention's attendees.
I've attended a lot of comic conventions, both as a visitor and an indie comics seller, and OxCon is one of the nicest small cons I've been to. With friendly staff (who make a point of coming around to check how things are going and hand out bottles of water) and a gorgeous setting, this is a laid-back convention that would be great for families to visit.
Whether you're new to the world of geeky fandoms, or hoping to add to your collection of comics, figurines or artworks, you'll find what you're looking for at OxCon. I'm already looking forward to next year!

On the enduring significance of Hiroshima
A statement from the Canadian Peace Congress
On August 6 and 9, 1945, the U.S. military bombed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons. Over 200,000 people, mostly civilians, died instantly or later succumbed to burns, malnutrition, and radiation-related illnesses. Many of their descendants carry the affected genes and pass them onto their children. Those acts will forever be remembered in infamy as the first time the devastating impact of nuclear warfare was unleashed.
There was absolutely no justification for this wanton attack – the worst crime against humanity in history (paralleled only by the Holocaust). Unclassified documents have confirmed there was no truth to the constructed 'myth' that the atomic attack was necessary to spare the lives of U.S. servicemen and end the war. Rather, the U.S. Truman Administration, fearing an imminent victory for Soviet forces in the Far East, dropped the bomb as a 'showcase' demonstration of U.S. military superiority. As such, it was the first act of the Cold War that would dominate international politics and spur the nuclear arms race for the next half-century.
74 years later those nuclear weapons arsenals remain the principle threat – a sword of Damocles – hanging over the heads of all humanity and our global environment. Despite the hopes and demands of the world's people for the complete elimination of all nuclear stockpiles, disarmament talks remain stalled and important treaties, such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) and the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) treaties, and the Iranian nuclear deal (JCPOA) have been unilaterally cancelled by Washington, setting the stage for another devastating round of the arms race.
Instead the leading nuclear states – in the first place, U.S. imperialism – are pressing forward with plans to modernize nuclear arsenals and extend the arms race into outer space (Ballistic Missile Defence). For this reason, the anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki assumes even greater significance and urgency this year.
We are not powerless in the face of this alarming drift toward nuclear calamity and environmental devastation. We need to take mass action to demand Canada take a firm stand promoting peace, disarmament, mutual respect and understanding, rejecting militarism, aggression and war.
For starters, we can engage actively in the coming federal election campaign by demanding Canada sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). And we should call on every party, and every candidate, to take a forthright stand in favour of this vital initiative.
The real challenge is to re-build a grassroots peace constituency in this country made up of working people, women, youth, indigenous peoples, those living below the poverty line, the homeless and disenfranchised, environmental and social activists and all who cherish peace. One that is powerful and united around a "Peace Alternative" that would take our country in a fundamentally different direction, and win a truly independent foreign policy based on disarmament and peace, and respect for the principles of the UN Charter and international law.
That is the best way to remember and pay tribute to the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and to all victims of economic and military aggression, occupation and war!
About the Canadian Peace Congress
The Canadian Peace Congress, founded in 1949, advocates and works for world peace and disarmament. We maintain that peace, not militarism and war, is the guarantor of democracy, human rights, and social and economic justice. We contend that peace, international friendship and cooperation among peoples and nations are possible and necessary to improve living standards, eradicate unemployment and poverty, illiteracy and disease and to restore the health of the planet.
We oppose all attempts from any quarter to make Canada a "military power". Canada needs an independent foreign policy based on peace & disarmament, not on imperialist aggression and war. In the 21st century human progress has created all of the prerequisites for a peaceful world. War and the militarization of the economy, membership in aggressive military blocs such as NATO & NORAD, a renewed nuclear arms race and its extension to space, participation in wars of intervention, occupation and 'regime change' only serve the interests of powerful financial and military elites and not the people.
If you would like to learn more about the Peace Congress, its policies and activities, we have attached a PDF "About the Canadian Peace Congress" to this message.

We head to an Okinawan restaurant to try yagijiru goat soup and other things we didn't know exist

Local landmark in Ishigaki has a very unique menu.
In Japanese, the word shiru, also pronounced jiru, means "soup." Miso soup, for example, is called misoshiru, and tonjiru, a kind of soup with pork and vegetables, is a popular food during the colder months of the year.
But on a recent trip to Okinawa, we found something we'd never tried before: yagijiru, or goat soup.
Goat itself is pretty rare in Japan, but the animals are raised in Okinawa's Yaeyama Island chain. We came across the yagijiru on Ishigakijima Island, the easternmost of the Yaeyama Islands, at

Good home cooking. Friend from here recommended this place. I had the all you can eat catfish filets with homemade mashed potatoes and brown gravy. Amazing homemade hush puppies. Husband had Swiss steak which he rated good. Homemade coleslaw was sweet, like the colonel's. Daughter had the french toast which she rated good.
Great small town restaurant with great food and even better pricing. They have daily specials that includes 3 sides and a dinner roll for around 7$. For home cooked food and great service, can't beat that. I personally go for the meatloaf every chance I get. The coleslaw is a great side option as are the mashed potatoes.
Wish I could give this a better review... but I was really excited about having Catfish here... and it was the anticipated high quality I was expecting. I think they buy their fish pre-breaded. Everything else was fine... spotless restaurant... excellent friendly service... Interesting that every single person... not couple or table gets a bill. This is a better restaurant than the rating reflects... but after you fly from California... for Catfish... and are disappointed... well... just saying.

Victor George Vodka Owner Awarded $2.4 Million
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. PRNewswire -- Black-owned Victor George Spirits announced the Fort Lauderdale Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) board voted unanimously to provide $2,450,000 to help fund construction cost of a 15,000 square foot facility that will house a distillery, restaurant, cigar bar, whiskey lounge, co working space and a rooftop bar and lounge located on historic Sistrunk Boulevard.
"This will be a signature project on the Sistrunk Corridor!" said Fort Lauderdale Commissioner, Robert McKinzie.
Victor G Harvey, owner of nationally distributed Victor George Vodka "VG", through his development company, Northeast 6th Development
will use the forgivable loan alongside his own investment and financing provided by a local bank to help transform a once vibrant area back to a
destination where neighborhood residents, out of town visitors and other locals can dine, drink, and tour the distillery, tasting new and unique
craft spirits. This new building will be named The Victory Building after the historic Victory Theatre once located on Sistrunk. This was the mecca of entertainment for Black people in Fort Lauderdale and the only theatre they could attend up until the end of segregation in 1964.
"As our core brand VG continues to grow nationwide, we are committed to helping our own city grow, particularly the Sistrunk corridor. This has been a long process, but we stayed the course," said Victor Harvey. Through these difficult times our focus was to keep all of our employees working and get to this point, which we were able to do. This building will allow the creation of several more job opportunities, with most of the hiring coming from within the neighborhood."
Alongside Harvey, a spirits industry veteran and Beverage Scientist, Matthew Spinozzi who holds an MSC in Brewing & Distilling from
Heriot-Watt University has been brought on board to oversee operations at the distillery. Spinozzi is a globally recognized sprits consultant,
and, previously the Chief of Science and Distilling for Matchbook Distilling Company teaching classes on the flavor science of beverages at the American Distilling Institute, the Bar Institute, and the University of Gastronomic Sciences. Spinozzi is featured on Discovery Channel's Master Distiller. He is also a decorated volunteer firefighter and EMT.
The duo will work together to add additional product lines including whiskey, tequila, hard seltzers as well as non-alcoholic beverages. VG
Vodka is distributed in 44 states and available at most major retailers nationwide including Albertsons, Kroger, Trader Joes and more. It can also be found at several on and off premise locations throughout south Florida and as well as Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville. This will
serve as distribution points for the new products
driven by consumer demand.
VG Vodka, locally made and sourced is gluten- free with all-natural ingredients for a clean smooth taste. The process is small batch and
goes through a filtration and oxidation process that purifies and removes harsh congeners and free radicals normally accompanied by fermentation, distillation, and aging. "No hangover, no headache, no burn, just smooth," said Harvey. VG vodka retails for $19.99 750ml and
$27.99 1.75L.

Q: JQuery AJAX response handling Probably some simple derp but I just can't figure this out, I'm using almost identical code in a different solution and it works.
Javascript:
$('#drop').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $('#login').slideToggle(1000);
});

$('#sub').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $('#info').html('')
    $.post('login.php', {user: document.getElementById('user').value, pass: document.getElementById('pass').value}, function(response) {
        if (response == 'ok')
        {
            $('#login').slideUp(500);
            $('#info').html('');
            $('#joocy').html('').load('manage.php');
        }
        else if (response == 'error')
        {
            $('#info').html('Invalid user/pass');
        }
    });
});

PHP:
if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    echo 'ok';
}
else
{
    echo 'error';
}

Response is being sent back but the if-clause isn't catching it. typeof() returns string.
EDIT:
    else if (response === 'error ') // notice the space in the string
This works, can anyone explain why the space is appended to the returnstring?
SOLVED: There was a space after PHP closing tag. Thanks for your time everyone! :)

A: You probably have a space after the closing '?>' tag in your php script. Try either removing all whitespace after, or the closing tag altogether.

A: Maybe the output contains other characters like e.g. a BOM.
What does
$.post('login.php', {user: document.getElementById('user').value, pass: document.getElementById('pass').value}, function(response) {
    if (response == 'ok')
    {
        $('#login').slideUp(500);
        $('#info').html('');
        $('#joocy').html('').load('manage.php');
    }
    else if (response == 'error')
    {
        $('#info').html('Invalid user/pass');
    }
    var tmpText = "" + response.length + ": ";
    for(var tmpI=0; tmpI<response.length; tmpI++) {
        tmpText += response.charCodeAt(tmpI) + " ";
    }
    $("<fieldset></fieldset>").text(tmpText).appendTo("#info");
});

print?

A: may the additional  space is added from the php side of the code, you can use trim
if($.trim(response)==='error')
{
 //
}


Railtrack Riders Pty Ltd is part of Maydena's community's aim to create a sustainable future through economic growth, employment opportunities and the development of tourism product that capitalises on the region's natural and cultural values. Until 1991, Maydena was a 'company town' established by Australian Newsprint Mills (ANM), and relied on ANM to support direct and indirect employment.
Local residents established the Maydena Community Association in 1991 after ANM closed its operations. The Association has since been pro-active in setting goals and strategies to achieve social and economic independence for the town.
Railtrack Riders was born from an initiative of the Maydena Community Association Inc. with a desire to develop a tourist enterprise that gives visitors an insight into Tasmanian forestry / rail heritage and values associated with the adjoining areas like the World Heritage 'Southwest Wilderness' and Mt Field National Park (the Worlds third oldest National Park).
The Company opened for business in Dec 2009 by volunteers, and now it has become more viable able to offer employment opportunities to the local community.
The first prototype Railtrack Rider was designed and constructed through the resourcefulness of community members and local business.
The riders have a seating capacity that accommodates a family or a couple travelling independently along the railway in convoy formation.

From P. Diddy to "Dr. Phil": 8 Times Church Leaders Were Quoted in Bizarre Places You…
From P. Diddy to ESPN and Criminal Minds, the wisdom from our latter-day prophets and apostles has shown up in some pretty unexpected places. Here are just a few:
1-3. Tweets from P. Diddy, LL Cool J, and Pharrell Williams
Remember when P. Diddy quoted Elder L. Tom Perry on Twitter?
One of the greatest weaknesses in most of us is our lack of faith in ourselves. – L. Tom Perry— Sean Diddy Combs (@iamdiddy) December 22, 2011
The tweet went viral among Latter-day Saints, evoking responses from Sistas in Zion, Latter-day Saint rapper JTM, and so many others:
@iamdiddy OMGness u quoting #LTomPerry, ( #Mormon apostle) Diddy r u taking missionary discussions? We want 2 come 2 U'r #baptism!! Welcome— Sistas in Zion (@SISTASinZION) November 3, 2012
Just a few years later, a few other musicians decided to quote latter-day apostles on Twitter, both of them in the same month of the same year:

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.Gordon B. Hinckley— LLCOOLJ. (@llcoolj) August 6, 2013
Sometimes we become so focused on the finish line, that we fail to find joy in the journey. – Dieter F. Uchtdorf— Pharrell Williams (@Pharrell) August 14, 2013
Pharrell's tweet even got a follow-up with a subtle invite to talk with the missionaries.
@Pharrell Did you get the copy of his talk I sent you? Super good stuff. I also know two people who can elaborate on it a little more…— Sarcastic Mormon (@Sarcasticmormon) August 16, 2013
@Pharrell "We will receive joy in our own lives when we are willing to extend that joy freely to others."
― Dieter F. Uchtdorf
— The LDS Church in UK (@ldschurchuk) August 15, 2013

4. ESPN's Pardon the Interruption
It seems musicians aren't the only ones quoting prophets and apostles.
In the fall of 2015, viewers on ESPN's Pardon the Interruption were graced with some wise counsel from the prophet Joseph Smith.
Steve Young, an NFL Hall-of-Famer and Latter-day Saint, was asked to give his insight into why the Detroit Lions needed an independent locker room. He then provided a "famous quote," one given by Joseph Smith when he was asked by a member of the legislature how he governed so many people with such order: "I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves."
It's wise counsel and something that applies to both saints and sports, apparently, as Young says, "The greatest locker rooms in football, the ones that go to championships, live [by this] famous quote."
5. Criminal Minds
Image from Getty Images of Criminal Minds.
Quotes from prophets on popular television shows doesn't stop there. In 2016 CBS's Criminal Minds, a TV drama fraught with graphic violence that delves into the twisted psyches of criminals, unexpectedly quoted Elder James E. Faust.
The quote appears near the end of the episode, around 39 minutes in: "The influence of a mother in the lives of her children is beyond calculation."
6. Hilary Clinton's Exclusive Article
Image from Wikimedia Commons
Hilary Clinton quoted Sister Rosemary M. Wixom in an exclusive article written for the Deseret News, saying, "As Sister Rosemary M. Wixom once said, 'As individuals we are strong. Together, with God, we are unstoppable.' Sister Wixom is right, and she's not alone. Generations of LDS leaders, from Joseph Smith and Brigham Young to Gordon Hinckley and Thomas Monson, have noted the infinite blessings we have received from the Constitution of the United States."
7. The Today Show
Latter-day Saints tuning in to Today in April 2018 may have seen a familiar name flash across their screen—Camilla E. Kimball, wife of President Spencer W. Kimball.
During the show's "Words of Wisdom" segment, hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford discussed Sister Kimball's famous quote, "Never suppress a generous thought." But this was not the first time Kotb and Gifford have referenced this quote, having mentioned it in a New York Daily News article focused on spreading kindness and making service a trending topic.
Image a screenshot from Today
8. Dr. Phil
When an estranged father and son appeared on Dr. Phil in October 2018, Dr. Phil invited Latter-day Saint and relationship expert Troy Dunn on the show to provide advice.
Along with his advice, Dunn shared "a few principles [of] The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" to help this family.
"We believe in agency," Dunn said. "So the concept of agency, for those who aren't familiar with it, is that we believe and we believe that from the beginning of time everybody has the opportunity in life to choose their own path."
The second principle Dunn shared was "we teach them correct principles and let them govern themselves," paraphrasing the prophet Joseph Smith.
For the third principle, Dunn quoted the phrase "exercise unrighteous dominion" from the Doctrine and Covenants. Amidst the anger and accusations, it was interesting that Latter-day Saint principles were taught on national television.
There you have it, eight powerful quotes from powerful servants of God that have crossed cultural boundaries. It just goes to show how the wisdom from living prophets and Church leaders here on this earth is influencing people from around the world, even if they might not realize it.

Boggs to play in Pebble Beach style pro-am
Mary Caton
Standing on the first tee, surrounded by a clutch of onlookers was enough to make the knees of Gord Boggs feel like they were filled with water.
Living on the border of Roseland golf course and a regular on the Donald Ross layout, Boggs played in several of the Windsor Charity Classic pro-am golf events the place used to host between 1979 and 1991.
When a movement was afoot to bring the Charity Classic back to life after more than 20 years, Boggs knew instantly he wanted to be part of the popular pro-am again.
"Aside from feeling somewhat intimidated when the (pro's) ball is still going up in the air as it's going over your ball, it was a lot of fun," said Boggs, who sits on the 2012 organizing committee.
This time around, Boggs has talked his brother, Les, into coming down from Woodstock to play the two-round pro-am when the Windsor Roseland Charity Classic rolls into town Aug. 13-19.
Modeled after the PGA's AT&T at Pebble Beach, amateurs play 'inside the ropes' with the pros Thursday and Friday.
"All the guys I played with were nice guys," Boggs said. "You pick up a lot of little tips and they try to make you feel comfortable right off the bat."
Montana's Mike Grob was one of the aspiring young pros Boggs played with years ago.
Now the Canadian Tour's all-time money leader, Grob reconnected with Boggs last year when the Tour Championship was hosted by Ambassador.
Roseland pro Randy McQueen said the organizing committee was insistent a pro-am element be part of any resurrection of the Charity Classic.
"That was all the guys talked about, how cool it was to play with the pros," McQueen said. "It was part of our heritage. We wanted to be the so-called Pebble Beach of the Canadian Tour."
Amateurs have a chance to play with half a dozen Canadian pros who recently took part in the PGA's RBC Canadian Open in Hamilton, among them Nick Taylor, Matt Hill, Eugene Wong, Cory Renfrew, Ben Ferguson and Michael Gligic.
As for Boggs, he's hoping to draw an international assignment.
"There's 15 countries (represented)," he said. "It would be neat to play with someone from South America or Central America."
It costs $750 to play 36 holes. The tournament is also hosting a one-day pro-am on the Tuesday for $250.
