Do Things That Don't Scale by Paul Graham. Paul writes some amazing essays and this is no exception. I'm a sucker for contrarian thinking, though. Paul talks in depth about doing the little things no matter how time consuming, especially in the early days of a new business or product. Don't worry, he says, if they don't scale. Once product/market fit is achieved you can figure that out.
Why You Need To Ring The Freaking Cash Register by Mark Suster. Great post on why you don't know your business until you take the customer's money.
The Sweet Smell Of Success by Seth Godin. I like this section best: "You will be labeled, like it or not. If you earn the label of, 'person who builds things, ships them and sells them to someone who values them…' you're way ahead of the pack. You're going to be doing this for a long time." I sometimes wonder how I'll be remembered. I hope it's for shipping great products that are used by lots of customers.
The Idea Maze by Chris Dixon. The latest conventional wisdom is that the idea doesn't matter. I never understood this. The idea, I think, is critical. Without it there is no business. Chris Dixon takes the conventional wisdom to task.
The Leaping Startup by William Mougayar. My first time linking here to William but he has an incredible investigative mind. Why, he asks, do some companies explode after product/market fit and some struggle? One possibility: listening too closely to your customers.


Sometimes music can be confusing*. Especially when bands release versions of songs that are not strict covers and rename the song!
In 1971 Fela Kuti released Who're You? a raw early Afrobeat track, with subtle horns and driving percussion. It is actually one of the early releases of Africa 70, Fela's band initially named as Nigeria 70, and it sowed the seeds that were to later blossom into the fully fledged, intricately arranged compositions that made up the classic Fela cuts of the mid to late 1970's.
The band released several LP's and singles, mainly of Highlife and Calypso songs and only a few Afrobeat tracks, some with the voice of Patricia Koroma.
*Music and record collecting can also be magical, as digger extraordinaire, Duncan Brooker, demonstrates in this interview, where he discusses his efforts to track down the band.
There appears to be a rare early Fela Kuti & Koola Lobitos single "Mr. Who Are You" that could have been the song that Afro National were referencing. This song was supposedly very popular in the whole of West Africa and could explain why it was released by Afro National in Sierra Leone.
Another theory is that "Mr. Who Are You" is an early version of "Who're You?", the song Fela recorded with African 70 in 1971. The problem is I have not heard this early version and nor would it appear have many others! Afro National's "Mr. Who Be You" does bear some similarities to "Who're You?" but it is definitely not a straight cover.
Thanks to Uchenna Ikonne for this further information.

SBC HISTORY
In 2017 SBC Life put out a special issue celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the EC.
The Southern Baptist Convention meets yearly to conduct business, elect officers, set budgets, hear reports, among other things.
The regular minutes of the SBC Annual Meetings are a detailed report of the work of the Southern Baptists, their seminaries, mission boards, and other entities. All of the minutes of the annual meetings are available and searchable through the Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives.
SBC ANNUALS
The Executive Committee of the SBC exists to conduct business on behalf of the Convention when it is not in session. With officers elected and appointed at the annual meetings, the EC helps coordinate the work of the entities of the Southern Baptist Convention and coordinate the work of Southern Baptist Churches through the Cooperative Program.
SBC Executive Committee
Graphic from sbc.net
Since it's beginnings in 1926, the CP has served to unify Southern Baptists in all the work they do, including missions, education, local outreach, and more. The CP becomes a mighty tributary when the thousands of small streams connect together to accomplish the work of God's kingdom.
Each of the histories written about IMB, NAMB, or the seminaries is a history of the Cooperative Program, and of the belief of Southern Baptist's that we can do more together. Listen to Dr. Frank Page share about why the CP is so important to Southern Baptists.
The Cooperative Program is Southern Baptists' unified plan of giving through which cooperating Southern Baptist churches give a percentage of their undesignated receipts in support of their respective state convention and the Southern Baptist Convention missions and ministries. (From the EC website)

The Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives has an excellent digital archive of BP press releases from the years 1948-1996.
The BP Photo Archive contains over 30,000 searchable images from their archives.
Officers of the SBC
The President of the Southern Baptist Convention heads the denomination and is elected at the yearly convention. The term is for one year, and a candidate can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms. Prior to 1932, each SBC president was elected at the beginning of the annual meeting and would preside immediately.
SBC Life had a special article about the history of the SBC Presidency and unique facts

[patch] Xinha width and height miscalculated when very small.
Basically (in sizeEditor()), the objects inside the htmlArea object cause the explicit size set to be ignored (treating it more like a minimum size). So a call to htmlArea.offsetHeight or Width is not guaranteed to return the same value as was set to the htmlArea earlier in the routine.
In order to get it working for right now I make the iframe display none when asking for the dimensions of htmlArea. This isn't the best fix.
This affects IE7 and FF2/3 at the least. I have not tested other browsers.
Make an editor and set the sizes to 150px/150px to test. I used Xinha 0.95rc2.

Santa Ana, CA, May 6, 2014 — Agility Fuel Systems, the leading designer and producer of onboard natural gas fuel systems for heavy duty trucks and buses, and Hexagon Lincoln, the leading producer of compressed natural gas (CNG) storage cylinders, announced today at the Alternative Clean Transportation Expo that the two companies have formed a joint venture, Agility Hexagon, LLC, to build cylinders for use in Agility's systems.
The companies will leverage their combined technical and R&D expertise to better integrate cylinder/system designs and bring to market a new, differentiated cylinder available exclusively on Agility fuel systems.
As part of the joint venture, the parties have also committed to build a dedicated cylinder production facility that will be co-located with a new fuel system assembly operation to be built by Agility. The exact location of this new plant has not yet been announced, but is intended to be located in the eastern US, close to OEM and fleet customers who operate there. This facility will complement Agility and Hexagon's already state of the art manufacturing and provide customers with the industry's best economies of scale, logistical costs and response times.
Agility Fuel Systems is headquartered in Santa Ana, CA and is the industry leader in natural gas fuel systems for heavy truck and bus applications. It has been supplying OEMs, dealers and fleet customers for nearly 20 years.
The Hexagon Lincoln division of Hexagon Composites is based in Lincoln, NE. It has been filament winding composites for 50 years and producing Type 4 CNG cylinders for 20 years.

New football column: CORNER KICK BY MARADONA – Revisiting Sri Lanka's 1995 SAARC Gold Cup win
December 5, 2021 by Revatha No Comments
Revisiting Sri Lanka's 1995 SAARC Gold Cup win
Sri Lanka Captain Sampath Perera lifts Bristol SAARC Gold Cup after beating India in the final on 2 April 1995 at Sugathadasa
One of the finest moments in Sri Lanka's football history – that was on 2 April, 1995. Sri Lanka beat India 1-0 in extra time of the final that day to win the Bristol SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) Gold Cup at Sugathadasa Stadium, Colombo.
* Sri Lanka's first recorded victory in an international football match came in 1952 when they beat Burma 2-1 in the 3rd Asian Quadrangular Tournament in Calcutta
* The 1995 SAARC Gold Cup began at the Sugathadasa on Saturday, 25 March 1995 in an extremely hot and humid day. Pakistan beat Bangladesh 1-0 in Group A in the curtain raiser
* India were the defending champions. They had won the previous SAARC Gold Cup in Lahore in July 1993. Sri Lanka were the runners-up then
* Sri Lanka played their first match on 29 March in a Group B game against India. Maldives withdrew from the tournament in the last hour and the game became the only Group B encounter. Well-known Bhaichung Bhutia featured in the Indian team
* Manilal Fernando headed local soccer administration then, flanked by stalwarts such as J.N.S. Anandaraja, Chrysantha Perera, Hafiz Marikar, and T. Wanigarthne. There were names like George Ferreira, Harold Anthony (Manager) and Rustam Akramon (the Uzbek Coach) too in the forefront
* Members of the Lankan squad included Sampath Perera (Captain), Rohan Perera, Mohamed Amanulla Mohideen, M. Kabeer, Lalith Weersinghe (goalie), T.S. Gajanayake, J. Hasheemdeen, Jagath Rohana, Antony Wambeck, L.P. Perera, Sirisena Manjula, M.M.T. Gamage, Prabath Ferdinand, R. Imtiyaz, Ajith Prasana, M. Rafi, Isuru Perera, M. Riza, Ranjith Hettiarachchi, Priyantha Liyanage, D. Sugath, David Sarath, S.M. Riswan, Lavendran, and C. Stainwall
* On 29 March, Bhutia headed two goals for India to take lead. Then entered Amanulla who scored in the 62nd and 87th minute (a penalty) of the match to equalise. It was two all
Mohamed Amanulla Mohideen
* It was the first time Sri Lanka had not been beaten by India since 1952, when the two countries drew 1-1 in Calcutta
* In the semi-finals, Sri Lanka beat Nepal 2-1 with goals coming from Amanulla and his Ratnam SC playmate Roshan Perera. Deepak Amatya scored for Nepal
* Sunday, April 2, the evening of the final against India turned out to a remarkable one in the country's soccer history. The Sugathadasa was surrounded by tuk-tuks, cars, and other vehicles all crammed with fans carrying flags and flares
* The ground had been full to its 25,000 capacity and around 10,000 more were reportedly locked out causing problems for the security staff
* After a goalless first-half, there was rain and lightning. Yet play began soon in on a water-logged stadium
* There were no goals until 90 minutes; no sudden-death winners in the first period of extra time too. Amanulla had run out of ammunition and Roshan Perera was a marked man
* Cometh the moment of substitute W.L. David Sarath, a 25-year-old Corporal in the Sri Lanka Army who had come in, in the 68th minute, only to gain his first senior cap
* "In the 108th minute, about 12 minutes to 11 in the night, Perera broke down the left and his low-cross was met by Sarath whose diving header flew into the far corner. Match over. Sri Lanka champions. Rarely can a victory be celebrated so extravagantly," wrote Leslie Fernando of The Daily News

Yes, U.S. rates are influenced by what happens overseas. In Italy, Forza Italia's Silvio Berlusconi denied reports that his party might break its alliance with Lega to allow a Movimento 5 Stelle-Lega coalition. The stalemate has produced a heavy dose of speculative headlines, causing Italian debt to retreat and lifting their 10-yr yield nine basis points to 1.86%, the highest level since late March. And Argentine President Mauricio Macri announced his government has requested financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund.
As markets grapple with the oil market volatility, the usual mortgage applications from the MBA kicked off today's calendar (-.4%, down 6% versus a year ago) for the week ending May 4. Next up was April's Producer Price Index (it was +.1% & core +.2% versus forecasts of 0.3% and 0.2% MoM). March wholesale inventories and sales, at 10:00am, are seen increasing 0.5% and 0.6% MoM vs. 0.5% and 1.0% previously, and the U.S. Treasury is back with round two of the quarterly refunding when it auctions $25 billion new 10-year notes at 1PM ET. After the PPI number rates are higher versus last night's close: the 10-year is at 3.00% and agency MBS prices are worse .125-.250.

Q: centering legend title over bottom legend I am having a bit of trouble getting my legend title to center over my legend when it is on the bottom. I can only do it if I change the legend to vertical instead of horizontal. Here is my code and the result, as it stands:
#1990
ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = tracts, mapping = aes(fill = pop.compare), show.legend = TRUE) +
  scale_fill_stepsn(colours = c("#fde725", "#addc30", "#5ec962", "#28ae80","#21918c", "#2c728e", "#3b528b", "#472d7b", "black"),
                    limits = c(0,227),
                  breaks = c(0.25, 0.75, .9, 1.1, 1.25, 2, 3, 10),
                  values = scales::rescale(c(0.115, 0.5, 0.825, 1, 1.175, 1.5, 2.5, 6.5, 118.5),
                                           from = c(0,227))) +
  labs(fill = "Population Ratio") +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5),
        legend.position = "bottom",
        legend.key.width = unit(1.5,"cm"),
        legend.spacing = unit(0.25,"cm"),
        legend.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5),
        legend.justification = "center") +
  guides(colour=guide_legend(title.position="top"))
  coord_sf()

EDIT: Per@stefan's comment below, I added:
guides(fill=guide_legend(title.position="top"))

Which does center the legend title over the legend, but also reconfigures it in a weird way that I don't want, see updated image below

A: Solution:
Per @stefan's advice, using fill=guide_coloursteps makes it possible to specify the legend title location. The solution and result I used is below
#1990
ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = tracts, mapping = aes(fill = pop.compare), show.legend = TRUE) +
  scale_fill_stepsn(colours = c("#fde725", "#addc30", "#5ec962", "#28ae80","#21918c", "#2c728e", "#3b528b", "#472d7b", "black"),
                    limits = c(0,227),
                  breaks = c(0.25, 0.75, .9, 1.1, 1.25, 2, 3, 10),
                  values = scales::rescale(c(0.115, 0.5, 0.825, 1, 1.175, 1.5, 2.5, 6.5, 118.5),
                                           from = c(0,227))) +
  labs(fill = "Population Ratio") +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5),
        legend.position = "bottom",
        legend.key.width = unit(1.5,"cm"),
        legend.spacing = unit(0.25,"cm"),
        legend.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5),
        legend.justification = "center") +
  guides(fill=guide_coloursteps(title.position="top")) +

Homonymie de patronyme


A gel pen uses ink in which pigment is suspended in a water-based gel, because the ink is thick and opaque, it shows up more clearly on dark or slick surfaces than the typical inks used in ballpoint or felt tip pens. They can be used for many types of writing and illustration.
The general design of a gel pen is similar to that of a regular rollerball pen, with a barrel containing the writing mechanism and a cap, and a reservoir filled with ink. The barrels can be created in many different sizes and designs; some have finger grips of rubber or plastic. The size of the nib or pen tip ranges from 0.18 mm to 1.5 mm.
The main advantage of gel ink is its high viscosity, which supports a higher proportion of pigments in the medium. The pigments are typically copper phthalocyanine and iron oxides, and the gel is made up of water and biopolymers, such as xanthan gum and tragacanth gum, as well as some types of polyacrylate thickeners. The pigments are opaque, and gel pens are available in a rainbow of bright and pastel colours, as well as opalescent, metallic, and glittery colours which show up clearly on dark paper.
India ink (based on carbon black pigment) is perhaps the ink closest to gel ink in opacity, although it is usually made with an alcohol and shellac-based binder.
Another trait of gel ink is that it resists common laboratory analysis. The United States Secret Service has maintained the International Ink Library for many decades. Because manufacturers change their ink formulas slightly from year to year, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) can be used on ink from traditional pens to trace the manufacturer and date of manufacture of most inks. The pigments in gel ink do not dissolve, and therefore cannot be analyzed with TLC.

Zombieland (Ruben Fleischer, 2009, USA)
Thanks to a resurgence in its popularity following the box-office hits Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Shaun of the Dead (2004) earlier in this decade, the zombie film has been enjoying something of a renaissance in the past few years, culminating in the relatively low-key Zombieland topping the US box-office chart ahead of its bigger budget screen rivals. Its arrival is something of a significant one; while Shaun, and to a lesser extent Dawn, were clearly produced by die-hard fans of the genre, Zombieland's existence appears to be largely a product of the increasing mainstream appetite for what could be happily dubbed the zom-com; in short, the undead have become socially acceptable.
The standard formula for this kind of film is a simple one: take some easily-identifiable stock characters, preferably of radically different demeanours and outlooks on life, throw them together and allow them to run amok in their newly-deserted surroundings, give them enough time to learn to rely on each other in a survival situation, add some witty one-liners and some inventive zombie deaths, and wrap things up fairly quickly before the audience starts getting twitchy. Easy, yes? Of course, it really isn't that straightforward, and Zombieland, for its enjoyable performances and at times very witty script, fails to satisfy not for want of containing all of the above constituent elements but on a more basic, fundamental level – the underlying story really isn't up to much.
Not that the setup isn't without promise. We are instantly thrown into the immediately recognizable post-apocalyptic world of the undead, seen first through the eyes of a highly neurotic young man who explains that his very survival is surprisingly a result of these. He narrates us through his Scream (1996)-like list of rules key to the surviving of a zombie invasion, rules which will be pretty well familiar to anyone who has seen more than a couple of these films – fitness, making sure the zombie is fully dead, and the all-important observation of proper seatbelt-wearing procedures – the narration accompanied with the text of the rules graphically incorporated into the unfolding carnage. While it is hard to argue with the rules themselves, the exercise itself is gimmicky, mildly irritating and, on a purely practical level, not nearly comprehensive enough.
Our young guide wants to travel from Texas to Ohio to find out whether his parents have succumbed to the living dead or not, and eventually strikes up with a rather deranged truck driver, insistent that they refer to each other by the impersonal names of their hometowns, Columbus and Tallahassee respectively, in case one needed to expediently dispose of the other one. Tallahassee, it turns out, is also on a mission, though a rather less noble one: to find out if this post-apocalyptic world still contains any Twinkies before they all pass their expiry dates.
There is, however blackly, something inherently funny about a world being overrun by the living dead, and the film-makers here are clearly aiming for the audience's funny bone rather than the cerebellum. In terms of comedy they largely succeed, thanks to their trump card of the choice of actors playing the two male leads – Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson. With the former playing an even more nervous Michael Cera and the latter seemingly playing a less restrained version of the his Natural Born Killers (1994) role, the two together make for as amusing a chalk and cheese duo as could be imagined; not only does the dialogue fizz with glee at their unlikely partnership, but both actors share a gift for physical comedy which is well exploited by director Fleischer.
Zombieland seems to tick a lot of other boxes too. The duration – a crisp 82 minutes – is on the money for a light comedy, and it is creditable that rather than carefully set up the world of the undead we are dropped immediately into it, dispensing with the all-too-common rigmarole of a long-winded prologue. Comedy is clearly what the director is best capable of handling, and in keeping matters light and frivolous never falls into the trap of either lurching into any kind of inappropriate sentimentality, or attempting to shoot anything genuinely nerve-jangling. Last but not least, a cameo in the film's second half, while gratuitously shovelled into the storyline, offers some unexpectedly rich avenues of mirth – just wait for it.
Yet for all of what the film does right, there is too much of a lacklustre feeling to it all. Individual reels are fairly well self-contained, but the narrative threads linking them together are ragged and poorly thought out, and as such the film feels like a series of short sketches rather than a unified homogeneous story. One might easily forgive these inconsistencies in the plotting and tone if the film had more of a sense of charm or innovation, but these appear not within its ambitions. The film actually becomes a something of a bafflingly obtuse genre puzzle, for here is a film with horror elements but which isn't even remotely scary, a road movie but which lacks any real sense of direction, and a character-based comedy but where the most clearly defined motivation is one man's search for a sugar-rich cake snack. Eisenberg may be a funny performer, but his nerdy loser schtick was fleshed out much better in the recent Adventureland (2009), while the main female character Wichita is relegated to being the all-too-easily identifiable Hot And Fairly Kickass Horror Female. In sketching out such predictable, two-dimensional characters, when the film slows down and tries to form a romantic sub-plot, it falls woefully flat.
Zombieland entertains more than most comedies, largely thanks to its two leads, but the flaws in its conception and execution betray a certain degree of disingenuousness surrounding the film. The reflexivity of Columbus' 'rules' appears to suggest an homage to the zombie movie genre, yet the film-makers fail to display this anywhere else; is the film therefore as much a superficial cash-in on contemporary big-name successes as the likes of Scary Movie (2000), Meet the Spartans (2008) et al? It is a mark of how far zombie movies have come from the realm of exploitation into the mainstream consciousness. But like the elusive Twinkie that Tallahassee is seeking to find, Zombieland may taste superficially deliciously sweet, but it leaves an uncomfortable sickly feeling in the stomach afterwards.

Q: how to disable unencrypted traffic(port 80) on lighttpd We want to run an SSL only lighttpd process. Which configuration option should be used to turn off port 80 with its unencrypted traffic ?
Lighttpd documents only provide a "redirection" to https traffic, but we want a complete silence on port 80. We want to keep lighttpd listening only on 443 for encrypted(https) traffic.
Update [Solution]
Setting only "server.port  = 443" does not help. SSL config was :
$SERVER["socket"] == "0.0.0.0:443" {
                  ssl.engine                  = "enable"
                  ssl.pemfile                 = "/etc/cert.pem"
}

That gave the error.
can't bind to port: 0.0.0.0 443 Address already in use

Removing the conditional SSL altogether solved the issue, the config became:
server.port                 = 443
ssl.engine                  = "enable"
ssl.pemfile                 = "myweb.pem"

A: you have to set server.port = 443 in lighttpd.conf
and comment the conditional $SERVER["socket"] == "0.0.0.0:443" {  }
in 10-ssl.conf
keep ssl.engine  = "enable" and ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/server.pem" in 10-ssl.conf

A: How about, commenting out
# /etc/rc.d/lighttpd start

Or, you could comment out the fastcgi.server lines in
/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Ok, this is the reference I was looking for, are you using these things?
I think the bottom line is, if you just make the server.port 443 and
remove the port 80 config entirely instead of a redirect, the server would respond only on 443.

A: Not a solution but still a work around would be to install a firewall such as Iptables and completely block traffic on port 80.

A: In my case, I had to comment:
   include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl"

to disable additional SSL pre-configuration.

Q: Add index number to list of results of `Select-String` I need to search for a term in a file and display an index in the search results so that referencing is easy.
The command in bash would be:
cat <file> | grep 'Table: ' | cat -n
What I have so far in Powershell:
Get-Content <file> | Select-String 'Table: ' | Select-Object -Property LineNumber, Line
Unfortunately, I didn't realize that LineNumber gives the actual line in the file and not the index in the results list.
How can I translate the bash command into its Powershell equivalent?

A: Indeed, the .Line property of the objects output by Select-Object indicates the line number of each match in a given input file.
PowerShell has no direct equivalent of cat -n (prepending a 1-based index to all input lines on output), but it's not hard to roll your own using the ForEach-Object cmdlet:
$i = 0
Get-Content file.txt | Select-String 'Table: ' | ForEach-Object {
  "{0,6}`t{1}" -f ++$i, $_.Line
}

The above uses -f, the format operator, to left-space-pad to 6 characters (,6) the first RHS operand ({0}), which is the (incremented) index, ++$i, followed by a tab character (`t) and the second RHS operand ({1}), which is the input line at hand ($_.Line).

A: Just use WSL:
bash -c "cat <file> | grep 'Table: ' | cat -n"

This will run the bash code in powershell. For a true powershell option you could do this:
foreach ($line in $(Get-Content -Path <filepath> | Select-String 'Table: ')){
  $count++
  echo "$count $line"
}


Not sure if I'm posting this in the wrong place or not. I tried searching but couldn't really find anything. I want to get into big game hunting and have no experience. Two years ago I started going dove and quail hunting and last October bought my first rifle I've been going shooting as often as possible. However I just don't know where to start when it comes to big game. If anyone could point me in the correct direction it would be much appreciated.
Assuming you want to start with deer I would second what the guys above have said. Read read read but also take every chance you can to get out and start trying to find deer. Definitely recommend a good pair of optics like a decent pair of 10x42 binoculars and a tripod - the tripod is really a non-negotiable out here. You don't have to spend a fortune on the high end gear all at once but if you can afford it don't go the cheapest options. Lots of great reading to be found on here about that also. Good luck.
I've been able to learn a ton through listening to podcasts. The Meateater Podcast, The Hunt Backcountry Podcast, and the Jay Scott Outdoors Podcast would be good ones to start with and really could help with the learning curve imo. And just getting out whatever chance you get.

John Thurloe
Biography of John Thurloe
John Thurloe (c 1616-1668) was Chancellor of the University from 1658 until 1660.
Thurloe was a lawyer who became Secretary to the Council of State in Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate and acted as Cromwell's international spymaster. He became an MP in 1654. In 1658 he was appointed Chancellor, apparently through the influence of the Principal Patrick Gillespie, who had met with Cromwell in Glasgow in 1650 and had been appointed Principal by him in 1652. Thurloe was arrested for treason by Royalist authorities in 1660 but was not brought to trial on the condition that he retire from public life.

NAM: Shutdown of federal transportation funding looming
The Washington Post (7/2, Halsey) reports that Congress will have little choice but to act on transportation funding when the members return from recess because "the consequences of doing nothing seem too extreme for all but the most dire obstructionists to endure." The Post notes that Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx sent a second letter this week warning states of the impending federal Highway Trust Fund crisis. The Post also says that some states are already planning cutbacks in anticipation. The Post goes on to explain that there are plans in the House and Senate to extend funding past the November elections, although the House proposal has gone nowhere, and that a plan by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) was denounced by Republicans. Meanwhile, with respect to longer-term funding, the White House and key transportation leaders in Congress, notably Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA), "say they are open to most of the options or some combination of several."
CNN (7/2, Liberto, Sahadi) reports, "People will see it in traffic and they'll see it in the condition of our roads," Foxx said at a breakfast with media on Tuesday. "I think they'll see it in our lack of authority to fix our bridges and to put new capacity in place that this country needs." CNN also notes that "there's bipartisan support for improving transportation infrastructure," but "lawmakers don't agree on how much money is needed or where to find it."
The Cincinnati Enquirer (7/2, Shesgreen) reports that this transportation funding crisis is "a stark example of Washington dysfunction" but differs from other issues because of broad support for a long-term funding solution and the potential for local, tangible impacts from the stalemate. The Enquirer notes that Foxx was warned that the Department of Transportation will have to reduce or delay payments to the states starting in August. Meanwhile, lawmakers have yet to come up with a funding plan that can please both Republicans and Democrats.
States Slow Down Road Projects Due To Federal Funding Uncertainty. The Chicago Tribune (7/2, Lu) reports that instead of ramping up during the summer peak of construction season, state transportation departments "are easing off the gas pedal as the federal Highway Trust Fund barrels toward insolvency sometime next month." States have already delayed projects to avoid being stuck with bills they can't pay and projects they can't finish, because they receive between 14.9 percent and 58.9 percent of the transportation funding from the federal government. Tony Dorsey, a spokesman for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, said that if the Highway Trust Fund runs out of money, "some states will not be able to move forward with projects they had planned to build this year while others may not be able to pay contractors for work that has already been done." The article details impacts in Arkansas, Rhode Island, and Missouri.

Try 17*-18* at idle then 34* all in, mechanical with vacuum advance plugged.
it all depends on how many degrees are in the distributor. you can't just throw a number out for initial timing and hope everything will work.
While the engine is new and running in it is better to be a little conservative on the timing.
12 degrees initial and no more than 36 total.
Put a timing tape on it, 36*total probably a good number for stock heads.


I'm sitting here in a very modern hotel room in Amsterdam, using my own laptop w/ wireless T-Mobile connection, staring out into a green courtyard with a large evergreen tree - and I don't feel like I'm even a minute away from home. The flight was uneventful to Amsterdam - I managed to stay awake the whole time and read the new Harry Potter cover to cover (thanks Sharon) - so instead of exploring the city I crashed in a hotel "day room" considerately reserved for me by ARC. I arrived at around 8 AM local time and am leaving tonight at 8P to take a "red eye" (if that's what they're called from Europe to Africa) to Kenya (I get in to Nairobi at 6AM).
Really not much more to report - thank you again for all your well wishes and prayers, they do mean a lot to me.
Dearest!! I miss you already! Sad about The Half Blood Prince! I am actually planning to sit Shiva (just kidding). I am so glad that you got to Amsterdam safely and soundly.
All is HOT in Boston right now. Work is busy at UHS......wow. I thought folks would cool off for the summer!! What was I thinking.
Will keep up to date on your blog page.
All sounds well. And know that you will continue to be in my prayers for the duration. Let me know your address ASAP. The little town of Boston is missing you presence, that is for sure and so am I. I will continue to keep up with the blog page.
God bless you and protect you as you care for those who struggle daily and are less fortunate than we are.
PS: What did you think of the new Potter? Box of kleenex at the ready! That's all I'm saying.

Naked Eyes were in peak form for their debut, showing a highly likable, warmer side to the often cold and detached synth-duo form. The songs they're best known for, "Always Something There to Remind Me," "Promises, Promises" and "When the Lights Go Down," are all included here, though the album can also be found in its entirety (save for one track) on the more readily available Promises, Promises: The Very Best of Naked Eyes. [For some reason, Naked Eyes' debut was released in slightly different forms on either side of the Atlantic. Naked Eyes, released a month after its British counterpart, Burning Bridges, was given new artwork and dropped two tracks. Both tracks were reinstated for the Very Best Of collection.] ~ Chris Woodstra

ECONOMYNEXT - Sri Lanka should stop auctioning non-existent resources for elections, which will result in hardships for the poor later, a think tank has said, as higher spending on state worker salaries is beginning to pressure the credit system.
Pathfinder Foundation, a Colombo-based think tank said a budget in later 2014 which was again revised in January 2015 had seriously undermined state finances.
It could be further worsened by self-seeking, anti-people promises made in manifestos in upcoming budgets.
"In this connection, Sri Lanka needs to follow good practice which is being pursued by an increasing number of countries around the world," Pathfinder said in a report Charting the Way Forward: Prosperity for All.
"This will enable the voters to assess the financial viability of the promises included in the manifestos of political parties. "
"It should also assist in making a clean break from the 'auction of non-existent resources' which have characterized party manifestos in the past."
In 2014 the budget deficit as 6 percent of GDP exceeding a target of 5.2 percent.
"There is likely to be further deterioration in the fiscal position without urgent remedial action on both the revenue and expenditure fronts," the report said.
"It is crucial, therefore, that the manifestos of political parties exercise far greater fiscal responsibility in the preparations for the Parliamentary Elections.
"The people of this country should not be misled by 'giveaways' which will eventually have to be either eroded through higher inflation or reversed through taxes/administered price increases."
Most Sri Lankans do not understand that they have to pay high rates of interest for housing loans due to political entrepreneurs living beyond its means and borrowing heavily to sustain subsidies, themselves and a bloated state worker cadre.
They also do not understand that the rupee falls and inflation goes up, destroying their salaries and lifetime savings, when money is printed to finance the very subsidies that they are deceived by.
A government has only three sources of money. Taxes which only takes specific amounts of money from the people and borrowings which burdens them and their children with future interest and repayment.
The third measure is printing money or central bank credit, which Sri Lanka has resorted to since 1951 when a central bank was created by then Finance Minister J R Jayewardene, which causes the rupee to fall and inflation to rise.
The corrective measures involve higher than-usual-interest rates and a sharp economic downturn.
Sri Lanka's rupee is already under pressure from rising domestic credit some of which has been financed by the Central Bank which has released liquidity.
The current administration is mistaken in criticizing expressways. Expressways not only bring people together but increases economic efficiency. One of the correct things done by the last administration is to build these roads. What we cannot afford is a bloated public sector.The Southern expressway has already cut down the congestion on the old Galle Road. Also when good move faster lorries everyone benefits. The current administration's criticism of the outer circular road is also wrong. It would have been better to build the road with the provisions for a six lane section.
I hope the author is also critical of projects such as the 2 billion US northern expressway that the country cannot afford. If not it will be let the poor starve while the rich drive expensive vehicles on high speed roads.

Q: how can I create variable in JSF to use thro' JSP tag I am using tomahawk dataList, where I use
rowIndexVar="rowIndex"

Inside the dataList I have been using verbatim,
where I need to retreive the rowIndex thro' JSP EL ${rowIndex}.
How can I achieve it.

A: Anything in <f:verbatim> will be treated as template text. If you want to evaluate EL expressions, simply put it outside <f:verbatim>.
I.e. don't do
<f:verbatim>
<h:outputText value="#{rowIndex}" />
</f:verbatim>

but rather do
<f:verbatim>
</f:verbatim>
    <h:outputText value="#{rowIndex}" />
<f:verbatim>
</f:verbatim>

True, it's ugly, but if you're using JSF 1.2 or newer, you can omit the <f:verbatim> anyway.

<h:outputText value="#{rowIndex}" />

Or if you're on JSF 2.0 with Facelets, you can even use unified EL in template text:

#{rowIndex}

A rendering of the upcoming Who What Wear runway presentation in New York
Who What Wear will host its first runway presentation just ahead of the start to New York Fashion Week.
The digital publisher, part of Clique Media Group, partnered with Secret Deodorant for the event. Influencers such as Chriselle Lim and Tanesha Awasthi will be modeling the looks — between 30 and 35 in total — from brands sold on Shopbop. The company said it is still in the midst of fittings and declined to say what brands would be featured on the runway.
"As a brand, Who What Wear is always looking to stay out in front of trends and innovate in the fashion space," said Katherine Power, chief executive officer and cofounder of Clique Media Group. "What better place to create an experience for Who What Wear than an event timed around [New York Fashion Week]?"
All viewers will see an image of an outfit as each model walks out, along with specifics of each piece to be saved or purchased immediately.
Those attending the show in person at Skylight Modern will have access to Apple iPads where they will be able to order anything shown during the presentation. The show will also be streamed through YouTube Live and at-home consumers will receive information on how to purchase through e-mail.
That a digital publisher is dipping its toe into the runway and the instant fashion conversation with its own go at the process is an interesting one. However, it's not aimed at being akin to what begins in the days following Who What Wear's presentation with New York Fashion Week, Power pointed out.
"What we are creating is not meant to be directly compared to what other designers have produced," Power said. "Instead, we're hoping to bring our Who What Wear editorial thesis to life, which is expertly curated, on-trend items that are immediately shoppable. The lessons we've learned and the ones we are implementing [into the upcoming show] are from our readers and evolving this brand over the past 10 years versus other fashion shows."
The company, with its roots in digital and adeptness at social media, no doubt already has a leg up on some who attempted the see-now-buy-now trend in past seasons with varying results and no one-size-fits-all approach to what's deemed a success.
"We understand that see-now-buy-now has been in trend in past fashion shows," Power said, "and because we are able to use so many different brands, we are able to make our entire show immediately shoppable versus other brands that can only make select items shoppable."


After a decade, the startup from Sweden has proved itself a worthy adversary, with 157 million users around the world, 71 million of whom pay for subscriptions. That is about twice the number of its closest competitor, Apple, which finally entered the subscription game three years ago.
And on Tuesday, in a ritual of success for any startup, Spotify's shares will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange with a valuation that could exceed $20 billion (U.S.). Underscoring the company's self-image as a disrupter, it has shunned the usual circus of an initial public offering in favour of a rarely used — and potentially risky — process known as a direct listing, in which no new stock is issued and insiders can begin selling their stash on day one.
Spotify's path ahead, though, is far from clear. The company has never turned a profit. Its direct listing could backfire, spooking investors. Its competition is still a field of giants such as Apple, Amazon and Google. And Spotify's relationship with the music industry, which it relies on for the millions of songs it makes available for streaming, has been fraught since the beginning.
In its defence, Spotify can point to its role in music's financial turnaround. After a 15-year decline that made the industry a cautionary tale for all legacy media in the internet age, revenues from recorded music began to improve sharply around 2015. Last year, revenues — which include sales from CDs, downloads and subscriptions to services such as Spotify — in the United States grew to $8.7 billion, their highest level in a decade, with streaming accounting for 65 per cent of the total, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
But Spotify's revolution has been about more than numbers. Streaming has transformed the music industry's underlying financial model and rewritten the rules for how hits are made.
In a sense, it has even changed the notion of music as a product. With streaming, a song is not a discrete item to be paid for and kept — like a CD or a download — but one part of a vast pool of music that listeners can access with a click. By design, it's not too different from what the millennial generation had grown accustomed to through pirate sites such as Napster and Grokster.
Ek and Martin Lorentzon, a Swedish investor, founded Spotify in 2006. Their service was built in part to mimic the experience of piracy — for years it used a peer-to-peer network to help songs play instantly — while operating legally and paying royalties.
"Music was too important to me to let piracy take down the industry," Ek wrote in a letter included in Spotify's investor prospectus. The company declined to comment for this article, citing a quiet period before the public listing.
At first, Spotify was conceived of as a free, advertising-supported service. But realizing that record companies and music publishers would be more willing to grant licenses if Spotify also had a paid level, Ek and his team developed the so-called freemium model. Users can listen to any song free with advertising, or pay $10 a month to remove the ads and get perks such as offline listening. The free service is meant to lure customers to pay; according to Spotify, 60 per cent of new subscribers begin as free users.
Music executives involved in Spotify's early licensing negotiations were impressed by the company's technology and by its approach: Unlike other music tech startups at the time, most of which no longer exist, Spotify presented itself as a partner that could help the industry recover.
With the cost barrier to listening removed, consumer behaviour began to change. Independent labels said their music was being listened to more. Playlists, programmed with a mixture of editorial supervision and machine learning, began to influence what people heard; according to Spotify, 31 per cent of its listening now happens through its playlists.
Yet even Spotify's biggest champions in the music industry, such as Daniel Glass of the label Glassnote, notice that streaming and social media created a network effect that emphasized hit songs above all else.
Tensions have also developed with the major record labels, which fear that as Spotify grows more powerful, it will start to exert more influence over artists. One possibility, hinted at in Spotify's prospectus, is that the company will want to work more closely with artists, in a way that might circumvent record labels, said Mark Mulligan, a digital media analyst with Midia Research.
Spotify has a clear path to profitability, McCarthy said, pointing out that while it has continued to lose money, its operating losses have decreased as a percentage of revenue, and its free cash flow has grown to become positive for the last two years.
