**sub** is a bash library to manage a set of commands and sub-commands (like git).  It mandates cli options and help with shflags.

### Requirements

Uses:
- bash
- gnu getopt

Must have `sub`, `shflags`, commands, and sub-commands in path.

### Help content

Option `--help` is handled by `sub`.  The help content is the first contiguous block of comments after the shebang.  The line must be prefixed with a hash and a space, unless it a blank line (which still requires a leading hash).

If the help content starts with `USAGE:` then `sub` won't generate a usage line.

### Example command

In `bin/example`, to be called as `example`:

```
#!/bin/bash

# This is an example

function options {
  DEFINE_string name 'world' "somebody's name" n
}

function main {
  echo "example: ${FLAGS_name:-}: $@"
}

source sub "$0" "$@"
```

### Example sub-command

In `exec/example-a`, to be called as `example a`

```
#!/bin/bash

# USAGE: example a [flags] args
#
# This is another example

function main {
  echo "a: $@"
}

source sub "$0" "$@"

So I'm a bit of a scrap hoarder. I have a bin for wood scraps, a bin for leather scraps, a bin for wire scraps, et cetera. This drives my boyfriend crazy. But as you crafters know, all that stuff comes in handy one day. And it's so rewarding to find just the right thing without having to run to the store and spend your entire craft budget on some silly little part.
Right now, I am working on a tapestry. (That's a post for another day.) I tried various methods of wrangling the pile of mini-cones on which the fine wool weft was wound, none of which were working quite right. Then a lightbulb went off!
I got out the scrap bins.
A bit of doweling, a plywood tray, and eight might miniature flowerpots later, I am totally organized slightly less disorganized.


Kei Nishikori will face Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals of the ATP World Tour Finals, despite suffering a three-set defeat to Marin Cilic.
The Japan number one was already assured of a spot in the knock-out stages in London before the match got underway after Andy Murray's victory over Stanislas Wawrinka.
But Nishikori was unable to secure a second win of the tournament after Cilic ended a run of five successive defeats at the end-of-season competition to triumph 3-6, 6-2, 6-3.
Nishikori began the match like a rocket and his energy saw him secure an early break, which was sufficient to take the opening set 6-3.
However, the world number five eased off in the second set and Cilic made the most of that opening to break twice on his way to the second set.
Nishikori was unable to regain the momentum in the third set, despite throwing caution to the wind, with Cilic securing a break with a stunning back-hand and then breaking for a second time to secure the set.
The world number five will face Djokovic in the semi-finals tomorrow.

Loft & Bear Carves Out Niche as History-Making, Artisanal Black Vodka Brand https://ift.tt/31IoyEP
Loft & Bear is the brainchild of Paul Ryan Elliott, an East coast native and one of few Black distillery owners in the country. Elliott learned the art of distilling when his family's construction company fell on hard times. While unemployed and living in Silver Spring, Maryland, Elliott was faced with the decision to go back to school or continue with his distilling hobby. After careful deliberation, he decided to put his business school plans on hold and instead devoted several years to focused business planning.
During the summer of 2014, in a loft in downtown Los Angeles, Loft & Bear artisanal vodka was born—hence, the name. A notable part of wine and spirits history, Loft & Bear distillery is the second-ever to be located within Los Angeles city limits since the "noble experiment" called Prohibition.
Today Elliott continues to work toward fulfilling long-term, sustainable success and is encouraged by the opportunity to bring inclusivity and diversity of thought to the beverage alcohol industry. Loft & Bear's commitment to social awareness is seen in its "Distill.Drink.Donate" program, in which 5% of Loft & Bear profits are donated to PATH, a charity aimed at ending homelessness and providing support for distressed families, veterans affairs, and human services throughout Southern California.
Not surprisingly, Elliott and his award-winning vodka have been featured by numerous major media outlets including Wine Enthusiast (40 Under 40), the Los Angeles Times, US Weekly, and more.
BLACK ENTERPRISE sat down with Elliott to discuss the finer details of his artisanal vodka brand and the nuances of his entrepreneurial journey.
Tell us about your vodka and what distinguishes it as a premium, artisanal brand.
Is it too corny to say it is crafted with love? It's definitely been a labor of love. My desire for developing Loft & Bear was to create a spirit that was approachable, "easy on the eyes and palate" in terms of its flavor profile and ethos. I've been fortunate enough to share my personal creativity with the world as our vodka expression: Loft & Bear. We've been characterized as smooth, subtle but sweet, and a hands-down favorite for developing cocktails. I found early on that the softer the wheat grains, the more balanced and gentle the mouthfeel. As cocktails generally constitute an element of citrus, we feel the slight alkalinity of our water base is not only more healthy, but also balances out citrus cocktails quite nicely.
What was the most significant challenge you faced as a Black founder in this industry?
I've been blessed with tremendous support since Loft & Bear's inception. As the industry expands and increasing value is placed on diverse consumers, I'm excited to see the growth in equity and ownership amongst Black founders. I believe we currently represent less than 2% of the brand owners within the alcoholic beverage space. In an industry dominated by major market players, my biggest hurdle since day one has always been accessible, consistent capital. While this has been an ongoing challenge for my team, it also presents a great opportunity for up-and-coming Black and minority founders with moon-sized visions of changing the space. I'm likewise encouraged to see more interest and opportunities for Black founders to execute their visions via new initiatives with Constellation and Uncle Nearest, for example. To achieve larger-than-life goals requires collaboration with strong partners and mentors, as well as a departure from some of the traditional industry norms.

Where do you see your brand in the next five-10 years?
Bigger, better, stronger, wiser! As we grow our core spirit selection and continue to innovate around experiences for our customers, one area that we see ourselves owning is the high-end RTD [ready to drink] segment. These products deliver high-quality, convenient, and unique experiences to consumers. In what we internally refer to as the "full-circle" consumer, we're confident that our products and broader goal to enhance the beverage alcohol experience through innovation and diversity of thought will shine through.
Where can fellow vodka enthusiasts find your delectable wares?
The boutique culinary scene is responsible for much of Loft & Bear's success and early adoption. We often find shared values with these establishments in terms of curating an amazing customer experience and building a sense of community. We're currently growing our national distribution footprint within the U.S. and are currently available at regional retail chains such as BevMo, Raley's, ABC, Bristol Farms, Pavilions, Cost Plus, and others. We also invite clients to shop online via our website to discover distribution partners that deliver to multiple states within the U.S. as well.

You've listed a number of fascinating signature cocktails on your website, each of which uses fresh, native Bahamian ingredients to set it off. What are some delicious traditional pairings you can share with us?
•Conch Salad + Sky Full of Stars (L&B vodka-based twist on a local classic made from sweetened condensed milk)*
•Caribbean Lobster + Rose Mango Smash (Mango)*
•Boiled Fish + Lemongrass Switcha (Lemongrass)*
•Jerk Chicken + In Exile (Smoked Pineapple)*
*Signature Bahamian ingredient

What is your best advice for someone set on breaking into this industry?
There's a funny saying, "If you hang around the barbershop enough, you're bound to get a haircut." Is it possible that breaking into the industry is just as simple as that—submerging yourself in the business and beginning to ask the right questions? I believe this is where you begin to identify the evolving needs of consumers and customer pain points. That very attentiveness could be the key to unique value creation for those looking to break into the industry. There's something alluring about an unforgettable imbibing experience; these amazing moments with friends and family are what could give birth to unique opportunities to have a positive effect on the industry. Improve every day and learn the business, then you have a genuine shot at doing something great!
What is your big picture vision for adding value, beyond your excellent contributions to the wine and spirits industry?
By leveraging the strength of our brand, which is supported by our core values, we have a unique opportunity to influence large-scale social change and become the voice of a generation destined to shape the future.
What do you want people to know most about your vodka?
We've been referenced as a "whiskey drinker's vodka." We believe in our artisanal quality and craftsmanship, which boasts a flavor built for sipping. Our bear is a symbol of strength; a passion for making a stronger tomorrow. As a society, we pride ourselves on the concept of building a better future and that is at the core of Loft & Bear's values. This is a labor of love that everyone deserves to experience firsthand, so we invite vodka drinkers everywhere to sip and enjoy this phenomenal journey with us. Cheers!

Framing A Dream
Collaboration on a Grand Scale Leads to Stunning Success
By Amelia Smith
Bill and BoStueck wanted a vacation house on Martha's Vineyard surrounded by natural beauty and wonderful views. How would they achieve this dream?
Fast forward about four years: The Stuecks now enjoy their summers in their Aquinnah home, set in a rolling hollow overlooking a small pond and the Vineyard Sound beyond. The house has a low pitched roof which is typical of the area, but not so typical for the timber framed construction
the couple chose.
TheStuecks originally came to the Island in the mid-1980s with some of their Kansas neighbors who summered on Menemsha pond. Visiting led to renting, and then they bought a place on State Road in Aquinnah in the summer of 2001. It wasn't quite all they wanted, though, so they kept looking. Their real estate broker, Richard Rooney of Rooney & Company, showed them some lots down Island, but this up-Island spot was the one they fell in love with.
After the Stuecks bought the land, they applied for a building permit using preliminary drawings from two local architects. When they decided not to use either of the original architects they'd spoken to, they were referred to Geoff Thors, a residential designer based in Edgartown. Geoff was a good fit for this growing collaboration.
Geoff began his college education at Boston University School of the Arts, but a growing interest in architecture led him to transfer to the Boston Architectural Center (now Boston Architectural College). The BAC's unique curriculum encourages students to work in the field while completing their coursework. Geoff took a position at a design-build firm in downtown Boston, from which he gradually migrated south until landing on Martha's Vineyard in the 1980s with his fiancée.
Since then, he has worked primarily as a residential designer, apart from a stint at Edgartown Hardware in the 1990s. "Working there was a godsend because I got to know everyone in Edgartown," he says, and he soon started picking up more design work. He also worked with Ben Moore, an architect in West Tisbury, for five years.
"Geoff has a great concept of space," Bill Stueck says. "He works all by hand drafting, no CAD. I can look at the remodeling jobs he's done and know that Geoff did them." Bo Stueck also liked Geoff. "He's a very good communicator, he talks with his clients and makes sure he gets every detail right," she says. The Stuecks and Geoff enjoyed a friendly working relationship as they developed a design for a vacation home that would bring the Stuecks years of enjoyment.
The designer and his clients drove around the Island looking for inspiration. "The flavor they were responding to was more readily found in Oak Bluffs," says Geoff, although they also looked at houses in the other towns, especially Edgartown. They especially liked the pediment type entrances found around Oak Bluffs, bordering Ocean Park and on East Chop. Then they turned their focus to the building site in Aquinnah, where they had to work within the constraints of the lot, the terrain, and the plans which had been pre-approved by the town's Planning Board. Sourati Engineering Group did the land surveying and engineering on the project
"We did a lot of site analysis for views, but we were penned-in by the setbacks and the shape of the lot," Geoff says. The small buildable portion of the lot was idylic, overlooking a small pond, with the Vineyard Sound in the distance, with a ridge on either side. "The view is nicely framed by the hollow which blocks the view of nearby houses. It's a really beautiful piece of property."
The site's zoning designated it part of a high visibility area, so they had to keep the ridgeline below an eighteen foot height restriction, as measured from mean natural grade around the house. This led to the use of a narrow (18' wide), L-shaped floor plan, to get the floor height as high as possible to take advantage of the views, while keeping the roof within the height restriction.
The ridges on either side give the placement a sense of seclusion and privacy. "It worked out well. We got a nice view without having to see other houses," Geoff says. If they'd gone any higher, the views would have included a lot more rooftops.
The original plans called for conventional construction, but the clients' house in Kansas has open beam work and they decided that they wanted the same here. Bill Stueck met Bill Dreyer, a contractor who was working on a post-and-beam house in Edgartown, and was inspired by that job. He went back and told Geoff that they wanted to do this project as a post and beam – low pitched roof and all.
Geoff made a preliminary design of a hybrid king- queen-post truss as he started working on the sections. They put it out to bid to various post and beam and timber frame companies, including Timberpeg. Bill says that only Timberpeg would guarantee that their trusses would work. Structural engineer, Jesse Kendall, and Timberpeg worked together to figure out the mechanics of Geoff's design. "There was a lot that they contributed in figuring out the design," Geoff says.
While Timberpeg was manufacturing seventeen newly-designed trusses, which they have coined "Monarch Trusses," for the house, the foundation was poured and the first floor deck put down, ready to take the frame. The Timberpeg contractor arrived, setting up the trusses against the bright blue sky with the Stuecks looking on. "The beams came in and had a golden and reddish color, and they just looked monumental against the bright blue sky. That was in September, when the weather is just beautiful," Bo says.
The frame enclosed an L-shaped plan. On the main level, there's a combined living room, dining room and kitchen with a fieldstone fireplace at one end. Gables in the long side of the house, one each for the living and dining rooms, frame views of the property's small pond and the Vineyard Sound beyond. A deck runs all along the water side of the house, with steps leading down to the lawn below. The kitchen sits at the corner of the L. The cabinetry, along with much of the interior trim, were made by a contractor the Stuecks knew from Kansas, who came and stayed in their other house while doing the installation.
The master bedroom suite is in the short end of the L. It connects to the long outside deck, and also has its own private balcony, offering a spectacular view with the Elizabeth Islands in the distance. On the lower level there are two additional bedrooms, a rec room and a garage (mostly used for kayak and bike storage). "The entire lower level even has nice views out to the lawn and the Vineyard Sound," Geoff says. "It was a fun job. I had a good time with it."
Bill and Bo work in the construction industry in Kansas and Missouri, so they brought in one of their superintendents, Rusty Moore, to work with local contractors to complete the construction. While the wood of the timber trusses looked beautiful in its untreated, natural state, age darkens the wood over time, and Bo wanted a lighter, brighter look. The process of pickling the wood
was long and involved, with multiple coats of a Sherwin Williams stain followed by two or three coats of water-based urethane. A local house painter, Bill O'Rourke, spent over a year working on those beams and painting the ceiling.
The landscaping around the house dealt with the usual constraints of the Island – sandy soil and an abundance of deer. "This property has very fine, sugar-sand with a few wonderful boulders," Bo says. They spotted the boulders around the property for focal points in the landscaping and brought in topsoil. Because they'd had another house on the Island, Bo had a little experience landscaping in this environment, mostly learning which plants are deer-resistant. "We like the roses, but the deer like them, too," Bill says. They've had luck with some recently developed smaller butterfly bushes, spirea, and pieris japonica.
Having been in the house for about seven years now, they've grown to love it. "Timberpeg did a great job," Bill says. "It was a new design. We like to look up at night when the light is just right and admire the house." Then they move to the other side of the dining room table and look out at the sun setting over Vineyard Sound.
"This house is really easy to live in and care for," Bo says. "We feel very lucky to have this home." They still love the view. "We made it for our enjoyment and our family," Bill says. "Our family has even grown since we built the house, and it's perfect for us now. We have a full house going when they're all on the Vineyard."

Every stream in Lutheranism has its share of angry people-those who have been disenfranchised or patronized or ignored, mainly for doctrinal reasons. Many renewal-minded people have been tolerated at best or resisted as heretics at worst. Some evangelical Lutherans have wondered what has become of the Gospel. Some orthodox people feel pulled up by the roots. Others have prayed for decades for God to light the fires in their church, only to see resistance win over change time and again. One thing I often hear when I do congregational missions is, "Where has our church gone?" Many are concerned about the homosexual agenda in the ELCA that doesn't seem to go away, even after it is voted down. People are upset-and angry. They ask, "What can we do?" Here is some advice to those who are asking that question.
Anger is a God-given emotion, and there are some things worth getting angry about. The inability to get angry seriously limits us from responding properly to injustice or untruth. Florence Nightingale was known for her anger against inadequate hospital care. William Carey was angered by the inhumane slave trade in Africa. The anger of African-Americans riding in the back of the bus led to some much-needed change. Positive anger can be a motivation for dealing with personal and social wrongs; it can make civil wrongs into civil rights.
The Bible commands us to be angry at things that anger God, like the erosion of the authority of Scripture in the ELCA or the politicizing of the Gospel or the attacking of the Fatherhood of God or a misapplication of grace. Not to be angry with what we have seen happening in the Church over the last several decades is the kind of tolerance that is intolerable. Should we counsel people not to be angry?
I was meeting with the staff of a church in the Midwest. I suggested that we go around the circle and pray for one another. Donna (not her real name), to my right, was first. She said, "I need prayer for my arthritis." I quoted the context of the James 5 passage on healing: "Therefore, confess your faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed" (v.16). I asked if anyone had anything to confess to clear the deck before we prayed. Donna said, "I do. I am angry. I am angry with the Lutheran Church. I'm angry with our bishop." Then the pastor said, "So am I." Another person said, "I am, too." So they confessed their anger, which opened the door to a wonderful time of praying, not only for one another but also for the Lutheran Church.
In our failure to deal with our anger, we easily get cynical or hard or passive or judgmental-or sick. We get reactive rather than proactive. We adopt a negative agenda, and we become known for what we are against rather that for what we are for. We define ourselves by our opposition rather than by our proposition. It is neither healthy nor godly, "for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God" (James 1:20). The admonition of Jesus to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves" came in the context of suffering and injustice (Matt. 10:16). This is not an easy assignment, but it is essential to keep our spirit free.
Clench your fist for a moment. That is often the posture of angry people. And even if the fist is not clenched, the heart is. It blocks our ability to receive from God, and we can only walk in righteousness as we receive from God's Spirit the righteousness that is outside of ourselves. That is why James wrote, "Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger…Therefore put away all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls" (James 1:19, 21).
In other words, deal with your anger right away. Paul admonishes us to put away anger, because anger neglected leads to bitterness. One can have anger without sinning, but he cannot have bitterness. Bitterness is anger gone to seed. It eats away at the soul like a cancer, affecting both the body and the spirit. Donna's arthritis might have been connected, at least in part, with her responses to life. After confession and prayer, she felt freer and lighter. We are not responsible for what people do to us, but we are responsible for our responses.
…we do not fight for the truth.
Forgiveness means that we release the other to the justice and mercy of God. We are not taking the law into our own hands; we are inviting God to take it. Our only option is to hold onto anger-and play God.
Destructive emotions need to be dealt with, although removing them can be painful, even as the removal of a tumor from the body is both painful and essential. When my car overheated on the way to the desert, I thought I could make it over the top of a hill and coast down. Paying $488 for blown head gaskets was a painful way to learn that I should have stopped and let the engine cool.
The history of dissenting groups is that their hearts often remain clenched long after the reason for the dissent has disappeared. According to one analyst of history, it takes a protesting institution a generation to get rid of its negative spirit, even if the cause is a valid one. Breakaway groups often maintain a feisty spirit. They tend to be defined by their opposition, and capable, positive people will not follow a negative agenda for long. Reaction feeds into the hands of Satan himself, who is the prime example of a reactor. He is not a creator. He takes what is good and turns it bad. So we resist the devil when we confess our hostility.


Q: When can I follow lessons?
A: The lessons are by appointment via mail.
Q: How does the 2 wheel Mini Family and Friends course work?
A: Firstly, it is an introduction to Motorsport, whereby amusement on Honda mini motorcycles is fundamental. The basics are explained under supervision after which the fun aspect takes over with the safety kept in mind.
Q: I have no experience. Which course is the best for me?
A: The best option would be for an individual course which you can build up per hour and spread over a number of days.
Q: Is a starters course always individual?
A: Yes. Learning to ride a motorcycle can be complex. We believe that it is far more beneficial for the beginner to receive personal attention so that the diverse techniques can be learnt and guided in the early stages.
Q: Is apparel always included?
A: Helmets and boots are always supplied. For the specific colourful MX look apparel from Pro Grip, a cleaning amount of 5€ is charged.
Q: Can I bring my own apparel?
A. Yes. The instructor will also judge the quality and safety of the apparel.
Q:What else do I need?
A: For the bad weather conditions and extra set of clothes is advised. Thin comfortable gloves sometimes come in handy.
A: This can happen by wire transfer, proof of which needs to be produced on the day, or cash on location.
Q: Can a six year old ride a motorcycle?
A: Yes, as long as the load on the body is not too strenuous. The experience of riding a motorcycle can reflect on other areas such as school and team-sports.
Q: Is the child's age taken into account during the lessons?
A: Yes, as well as the maturity of the child. Should the instructor determine that the child is physically or mentally not developed enough, he will temporarily postpone the lessons.
Q: Which info is necessary at registration?
A: You need to fill in a form with your personal details such as age, motorcycle experience and requested lessons etc.
Q: What do I get as confirmation of my registration?
A: Your registration is confirmed by mail.
Q: Can I register as a minor?
A: If you are younger than 18, you need written permission from you parents or legal guardian.
Q: How do I get the 49€ from Honda Park for the starters course?
A : This 49€ is the difference in price between the individual rental price or an hour of lessons? Honda Park does this because 'safety' is one of its main priorities. The discount is already calculated in the price.
Q: How big are the group lessons?
A: This depends on the type of course and varies from 2 – 10 people. Depending on the size of the group, an extra instructor may be called in.
Q: Can I learn to be a champion in these lessons?
A: No, the basis is to learn to ride safely. To be a good racer, safety sometimes has to be compromised. It is up to yourself to win championships, otherwise everybody would be a champion.

Harvard will go to great lengths to recruit and retain faculty members. But sometimes, it doesn't have everything a professor wants.
When Henry Louis "Skip" Gates Jr. left Duke in 1991, he came to Harvard because administrators offered him the chance to build the African and African American Studies Department from the ground up.
And Gates knew that commitment was genuine.
In the years that followed, Gates attracted a group of superstars in the field—Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, Cornel R. West '74, William J. Wilson—to his department, hosting similar dinners.
Gates said people often ask how he convinces academics to join him at Harvard, how he "bought" them, so to speak. But he argues that individuals worthy of Harvard tenure—"scholars of the first order of eminence," as faculty guidelines state—cannot be bought.
At the same time, there are other factors—sometimes financial—that bring faculty to and from Harvard. These are highly specific to individual circumstances, and what attracts one professor to Harvard might be the very factor that prompts another to leave.
Administrators focus on recruiting and retaining top-notch faculty, sometimes incentivizing them to stay with waived down-payments on mortgages, prime spots on the years-long child care waitlist, or honors such as the prestigious Radcliffe professorships. Other times, though, Harvard cannot offer some professors what they need to stay: a job for a spouse, proximity to an aging relative, or significant laboratory space and equipment.
Indeed, star departures in recent years indicate that Harvard may not always have what every professor wants. In the fall of 2015, for example, Raj Chetty, a MacArthur-winning economist projected to receive the Nobel Prize, traded Harvard's ivy tower for Stanford's sunny, buzzing campus.
And Harvard's administrators have noticed.
Julio Frenk, former dean of the School of Public Health, turned down several job offers from Harvard's peer universities. That is, until the University of Miami offered him its presidency.
For Frenk, the decision to leave depended on "a unique combination of factors": good timing, a job offer geared toward his research interests, and the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of one of his mentors, University President Drew G. Faust.
Frenk can count himself among the faculty members who have recently left Harvard to pursue their careers elsewhere.
Smith said he sees the ebb and flow of the faculty as varied, highly specific, and constant. Over the past couple of years, Harvard's peer institutions have "poached" top professors in fields ranging from history to the study of religion.
Last semester, History professor Niall C.D. Ferguson announced that he would leave Harvard for Stanford's Hoover Institution, an American public policy think tank that will not require Ferguson to teach.
University Provost Alan M. Garber '76 said professors' departures are inevitable, but they do indicate the depth of talent at Harvard.
"Let me just say that I would be much more concerned if other universities weren't trying to recruit our faculty," he said.
And for Physics Department Chair Masahiro Morii, concerns arise around Harvard's lack of clarity about future opportunities for physical expansion. He said the department has faced difficulties in hiring new research-based professors because of limited office and laboratory space.
Harvard's tenure policy—which offers academic job security only at the full, rather than at the associate, professor level—also may influence tenure-track professors to accept offers elsewhere.
Though Smith said administrators aim to provide competitive benefits for faculty, there are lines he will not cross.
In order to defend against outside recruiters and retain its faculty members, Harvard capitalizes on work-life factors that could give it a competitive edge.
Many professors say Harvard's location is a strong asset that the University can leverage in the hiring process. For faculty with spouses, the large metropolitan job market—not only in academia but also in technology, medicine, and law—entices couples to come, Morii said. When Morii arrived at Harvard as an assistant professor in 2000, for instance, his wife was still a postdoctoral fellow. Choosing Boston, with its many universities and colleges, he said, was better than going to an isolated state university.
Some also appreciate the Boston area as a place to start a family, given its highly-ranked public school districts.
The Cambridge area is also expensive. The average single-family home costs nearly $1.5 million, and it's a seller's market, with the average house going for 107 percent of its list price as of last March, according to real estate agent Charles P. Cherney '89 of Hammond Residential Real Estate. So Harvard, like most peer institutions in metropolitan areas, offers faculty housing assistance.
Lamont said Harvard offered two faculty members—recently promoted in the Sociology Department—loans without interest for housing. In other cases, Harvard will help with the initial down payment for a mortgage, Morii said.
"Housing plays a large part in all [recruits'] consideration to come to Harvard," Susan Keller, director for faculty real estate and special projects, wrote in an emailed statement provided by Harvard Spokesperson Brigid O'Rourke. According to Keller's statement, Faculty Real Estate Services offers two condominium options, developed on University land, priced more than 20 percent below fair market value for eligible faculty.
In addition to housing, childcare costs can also be sky-high in the Boston area. There are six Harvard-affiliated child care centers on campus, but fees can balloon up to $34,944 for a single child per year. And even obtaining that expensive childcare can be difficult; according to Senior Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity Judith D. Singer, the six daycares have just 380 combined slots. Individual centers can receive as many as half a thousand prospective applicants.
Harvard has in recent years established programs to subsidize childcare, such as Ladder ACCESS, which provides up to $20,000 to eligible faculty with children under the age of 6.
And for top talent, the University maintains a "Provost's waiting list," created specifically for recruitment and retention, according to Singer. Highly sought-after individuals placed on the list will be given priority for spots in Harvard's daycare center.
But childcare and housing are not why most faculty come to Harvard.
Indeed, the network of colleagues across fields continues to draw academics. Chemistry professor Daniel G. Nocera, who left MIT for Harvard three years ago, said that Harvard's emphasis on the liberal arts and a strong faculty and alumni base compelled him to make the move.
Smith, the FAS Dean, said another draw are Harvard's many graduate and professional schools, which offer faculty more opportunities to interact with students and practitioners in their field.
One academic "secret weapon" Harvard also employs in recruiting faculty are the Radcliffe professorships, Singer said.
Created by Faust when she was dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the professorships offer new hires the chance to pursue independent research for four semesters of their first five years at Harvard without teaching. This setup gives faculty time to focus on their research, a very attractive proposition for many.
According to Radcliffe spokesperson Alison Franklin, when a school's dean identifies a "good fit" for a Radcliffe professorship, the dean can contact Radcliffe about a potential joint appointment. If Radcliffe administrators agree with the dean, the candidate receives an offer for a professorship at the institute.
In the end, though, the reasons for coming to, staying at, or leaving Harvard vary from case to case.
Faculty of Arts and Sciences members voted unanimously in favor of legislation requiring students at the College to make an affirmation of integrity, and for the establishment of a new Theater, Dance, and Media concentration.
In the wake of the recent release of a campus sexual climate survey, some departments in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences aim to clarify reporting procedures and promote clear departmental expectations regarding sexual harassment.

Q: Why QMenu's separator doesn't show text? My goal is to make menu with labeled separators.
So, I am running this code:
QMenu *menu = new QMenu;

QAction *group1 = menu->addSeparator();
group1->setText("Group of actions #1");
menu->addAction("Action #1");
menu->addAction("Action #2");
menu->addAction("Action #3");

QAction *group2 = menu->addSeparator();
group2->setText("Group of actions #2");
menu->addAction("Action #1");
menu->addAction("Action #2");
menu->addAction("Action #3");

QToolButton btn;
btn.setText("Click me");
btn.setMenu(menu);
btn.setPopupMode(QToolButton::InstantPopup);

btn.show();

and got this

instead of this (I created it by MS Paint :) )

What's wrong?
EDIT: Yes, there are another question like this (Non interactive items in QMenu), but maybe more simplier way exists?
One of solutions is using "Fusion" theme :) I just added code below into int main function:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication::setStyle("Fusion");
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    ...

A:
I need a text styled separator for my Qt menu. How can I do that?

I resolve the problem like that:
QWidgetAction* MyWidget::createTextSeparator(const QString& text)
{
    auto* pLabel = new QLabel(text);
    pLabel->setMinimumWidth(this->minimumWidth() - 4);
    // grayish style
    pLabel->setStyleSheet("background: #FF4B4B4B;");
    // possible alignment
    // pLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
    auto* separator = new QWidgetAction(this);
    separator->setDefaultWidget(pLabel);
    return separator;
}

pMenu->addAction(createTextSeparator("Group of actions"));

About Dante Alighieri:
Dante Alighieri ( probably baptized Durante di Alighiero degli Alighieri[note 1] and often referred to simply as Dante (/ˈdɑːnteɪ, ˈdænteɪ, ˈdænti/,[2][3] also US: /ˈdɑːnti/,[4]; c. 1265 – 1321), was an Italian poet. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa (modern Italian: Commedia) and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered the most important poem of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.[5][6]
Dante is known for establishing the use of the vernacular in literature at a time when most poetry was written in Latin, making it accessible only to the most educated readers. His De vulgari eloquentia (On Eloquence in the Vernacular) was one of the first scholarly defenses of the vernacular. His use of the Tuscan dialect for works such as The New Life (1295) and Divine Comedy helped establish the modern-day standardized Italian language, and set a precedent that important later Italian writers such as Petrarch and Boccaccio would follow.
Dante was instrumental in establishing the literature of Italy, and his depictions of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven provided inspiration for the larger body of Western art.[7][8] He is cited as an influence on Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton and Alfred Tennyson, among many others. In addition, the first use of the interlocking three-line rhyme scheme, or the terza rima, is attributed to him. He is described as the "father" of the Italian language,[9] and in Italy he is often referred to as il Sommo Poeta ("the Supreme Poet"). Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio are also called the tre corone ("three crowns") of Italian literature.(from wikipedia)

US to End Subsidies for Electric Cars and Renewable's
By Paul Ebeling on December 6, 2018 Comments Off on US to End Subsidies for Electric Cars and Renewable's
$F, $GM, $TSLA, $VLKAY
They could end as early as Y 2020
The benefits of EVs are a myth
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said early this week that the United States will end subsidies for electric cars and other items including renewable energy sources.
Asked about actions planned after General Motors announced US plant closings and layoffs last week, Mr. Kudlow pointed to the $2,500-to-$7,500 tax credit for consumers who buy plug-in electric vehicles, including those made by GM, and Tesla under federal law.
"As a matter of our policy, we want to end all of those subsidies," Mr. Kudlow said. "And by the way, other subsidies that were imposed during the Obama administration, we are ending, whether it's for renewables and so forth."
Asked about a timeline, he said: "It's just all going to end in the near future. I do not know whether it will end in 2020 or 2021."
EV subsidies have been a subject of debate recently among lawmakers.
President Donald Trump threatened to end GM subsidies after the company announced plans to shut down production at some US factories. In October, Republican Senator and Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee John Barrasso introduced a bill to kill off the federal incentives altogether.
Another Republican, Senator Dean Heller, in October proposed legislationthat would lift the current cap on electric vehicles eligible for tax credits. A number of automakers, including Ford, Tesla, GM and Nissan, have called for Congress to lift the cap on EV tax credits.
The Trump Administration called German automakers to meet in Washington for trade talks. BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen all have significant electric vehicle initiatives in progress with plans to sell and even build more plug-in vehicles in the US.
The tax credits are capped by Congress at 200,000 vehicles per manufacturer, after which the subsidy phases out.
GM has said it expects to hit the threshold by the end of Y 2018, which means under the current law, its tax credit eligibility would be completely phased out in Y 2020.
Tesla said in July it had hit the threshold.
Other automakers may not hit the cap for several years.
Experts say the White House cannot change the cap unilaterally. President Donald Trump last week threatened to eliminate subsidies for GM in retaliation for the company's decision.
Mr. Kudlow made clear any changes in subsidies would not just affect GM. "I think legally you just can't," he said.
Tesla and GM have lobbied Congress for months to lift the cap on electric vehicles or make other changes, but face an uphill battle make changes before the current Congress expires.
Have a terrific weekend

Equities Turning a Corner?
Steven Lamb | January 9, 2009
The worst period for Canadian equity returns in generations may already be over, but recovery will depend on whether North America launches a credible fiscal stimulus package in the coming weeks, notes a new CIBC World Markets report.
"The bad news is that we are in a recession, and a fairly deep one at that. The good news is that the stock market has already discounted a depression," Jeff Rubin, CIBC World Markets chief economist and chief strategist, said in his latest Canadian Portfolio Strategy Outlook Report.
The report predicted that with deep interest rate cuts and fiscal stimulus efforts underway in most of the world's major economies, global growth would likely return by the second half of 2009, spurring on the TSX composite index.
While progress is expected in the next two quarters, the majority of the climb, Rubin said, will come after a mid-year economic upturn. For that reason, he remains market-weight on equities in his model portfolio.
Given the uncertain timing of an economic recovery, Rubin's recommended portfolio weights continue to steer away from the sectors most exposed to downside economic risks, with overweights in some of the traditional safe havens, like utilities and consumer staples.
Compared to the United States, Canadian wealth losses have been mild, but housing values are still in retreat and consumers will be cautious on big-ticket spending. As a result, Rubin is recommending heavy underweights in equities tied to consumer discretionary spending and autos.
Equity Funds Suffer "Disastrous" Year
Investment Managers Bearish on Canadian Equities: Report
As a result of more realistic valuations in the technology sector, he no longer suggests as heavy an "underweight" stance and has added a percentage point of exposure. That move was funded by a single point reduction in his already underweight position in industrials.
When it comes to commodities, Rubin notes non-precious metals and lumber are still mired in recessionary conditions, and base metals will post much lower average prices in 2009. He continues, however, to favour gold as a hedge against an eventual return of both inflation and U.S. dollar depreciation.
As for oil, the seeds are being sown for a sharp rebound in crude prices during the next global recovery with a taste of that to come in late 2009. Rubin expects it won't be very far down the road of an economic recovery before oil prices once again touch triple-digits. "And when they do, our overweight in oil stocks will be there to reap the rewards."

The PS2 is 12 years old and kind of outdated, but it is cheap and has a great library. There are many titles available and they're a remarkable difference in cost of newer system games. There are about 10 years worth of previously-played games for this already made.
Make sure your kids when gaming online. Keep an eye on who exactly they're playing with. Some predators use online gaming to meet children. Keep your children safe by being vigilant.
A cleaning kit will remedy even the filthiest discs. There are tons of kits like this out there.
Watch for sales at local establishments to find good deals on video games to give your kids. Some video rental businesses are not doing very well. If you're able to look closely, there may be one closing near you that will have great sales on video games. The discs may require a bit of cleaning, but they may require a cleaning.
Be sure to set limits to how long your children can play their video gaming. Don't let a child play their games for longer than 2 hours each day because it may damage their eyesight and make them forget their priorities.
Sometimes bonuses are offered only available when ordering early. These can include game gear or features that may only be available pre-release.
You can sell your old games. Avoid using auction sites like eBay unless you have no other options. Try Facebook using their free marketplace app or Craigslist for selling your games first.
Each year, the gaming industry gains even greater levels of success. However, there are a bunch of things to think about when you are dealing with video games. Both players and parents can get something out of this article. Really own this information, and soon you'll be having an excellent time playing with your kids!

COMING FRIDAY 7 PM PST. ELLEY ARDEN AUTHOR OF: THE PERFECT GAME SEE EXCERPT
COMING FRIDAY
7 PM PST.
Fans of TV's Pitch will love this wrap-up to the charming world of the Arlington Aces baseball team.
Arlington Aces' backup catcher Ian Pratt lives every day to the fullest, focusing on having fun with the three Bs: babes, booze, and baseball. Life's too short not to go out with a smile on his face.
For Pauly Byrne, being the only female starting pitcher in professional baseball means she's determined, deliberate, and always staying one step ahead of the naysayers. Facing a difficult choice, she must decide whether to hang up her cleats to become the first woman to coach an NCAA baseball team or hold on to the unlikely dream of becoming the first to play in the Major League. Either way, she needs to win this season's championship.
When Pauly's usual catcher fails a drug test going into playoffs, Ian is thrust into the starting role, where their differences—and an unlikely attraction—threaten to derail their season. Their futures are on the line, but can these two total opposites find enough common ground to win the big game and a shot at happily ever after?
"Tuck's been scratched."
Aces Pitcher Pauly Byrne shut her locker with a decisive clang and turned to her coach, eyebrows raised. "What do you mean?"
"There's been a catching change."
That wasn't what she wanted to hear thirty minutes before she took the mound in the last game to clinch the playoffs.
"Is he hurt?"
Coach Slater shook his head grimly, but all he said was, "He's out for tonight." He paused a beat, watching her evenly. "Pratt gets the start."
"What? Skip, you know Pratt and I don't—"
"You think I don't know that?" The sweat on the middle-aged man's brow glistened in the fluorescent lights. "With Tuck out and Sheldon hurt, I got no other option."
"But, Skip, c'mon. There are scouts in the stands, and Pratt's unreliable. Just last week, he showed up late, smelling like a brewery, and you said—"
"I know what I said." He held up a hand to stop her. "Doesn't matter. He's all we got. Make it work, or we ain't gonna make the playoffs"—his expression turned wry—"which means I'll be out of a job and you'll be back in Baltimore shucking crabs by this time next week."
She'd never shucked a crab in her life, and she wasn't interested in starting now. If the only thing standing between Pauly and a shot at an Independence League championship was throwing six innings to douchebro Ian Pratt, she could handle that. The question was, could he?
Pauly left the private dressing room the equipment manager had converted from an oversized broom closet three seasons ago, when she'd joined the Arlington Aces. Being the only woman in the Independence League had its perks. She gathered her thoughts, put on her game face, and headed for the clubhouse down the hall.
She stalked straight over to Pratt, ignoring the snorts of protest from some of the bare-assed rookies still getting changed. They didn't have anything she hadn't seen before.
"Pratt, a word."
Her teammates turned. A few made goofy noises, suggesting Pratt was in trouble.
He glanced at her over the eagle tattoo on his left shoulder, with only a towel slung indecently low on his narrow hips. "Do I need to be dressed for this?"
"Doesn't faze me either way."
He shrugged, took his time pulling on his compression shorts, and finally dropped the towel and moved toward her like a burly, surly-faced snail.
"Let me guess. You talked to Coach."
"Yep." She dropped her fists to her hips. "You up for this?"
"I'm up for anything." He grinned his cocky, self-proclaimed "chick-magnet" grin that only made Pauly clench her jaw. Then he stared her down stone cold. "The question is, are you?"
She narrowed her eyes. This wasn't some kegger at the community college or a bonfire bender on the outskirts of Arlington. This was the last regular-season game. The last chance to clinch a playoff spot. The annual "Dads Day at the Ballpark," which meant her father had made the trip all the way from Baltimore. And, there were scouts in the stands. "So help me God, Pratt, if you fuck this up, I'm going to—"
"I'm not going to fuck anything up." His bright blue eyes turned icy. "How 'bout you just worry about putting the goddamn ball over the goddamn plate?"
She sucked in a breath and puffed out her chest. "Like last week, when I struck out seventeen batters and didn't allow a single run? Oh, and I was named the Independence League Pitcher of the Week. Like that?"
Pratt lifted his chin and flared his nostrils.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey." Team Captain and first baseman Sam Sutter's voice broke through, reminding her they had an audience. Twenty-two teammates glared and gaped at them. "Pratt, quit jerking her chain. Byrne, give him a chance."
Pauly exhaled then smiled sweetly, her teeth grinding together so much it nearly hurt. "Just making sure we're on the same page."
Ian snorted, rolled his eyes, and lumbered back to his locker.
At this point, Pauly would settle for them being on the same chapter.
