Defense Stocks (BA, LMT) Climb On Trump's Renewed Afghanistan Commitment
Benjamin Rains
Zacks August 22, 2017
Shares of several companies with ties to U.S. defense spending, including Boeing (BA) and Lockheed Martin (LMT), climbed on Tuesday, just one day after President Donald Trump announced a rededication of U.S. military forces in Afghanistan.
Shares of several companies with ties to U.S. defense spending, including Boeing BA and Lockheed Martin LMT, climbed on Tuesday, just one day after President Donald Trump announced a rededication of U.S. military forces in Afghanistan.
President Trump announced that the U.S. would expand its role in Afghanistan during a roughly 30-minute speech on Monday. The president did not specify how many new troops would be deployed in the country or provide a timetable for the operation. However, White House military officials pointed to an increase of up to 4,000 additional U.S. troops.
The new U.S. military forces in Afghanistan will be deployed for counterterrorism and military training purposes, which does not differ much from former president Barack Obama and his administration's tactics in the region.
Currently, 8,400 Americans are stationed in Afghanistan, along with roughly 4,000 North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops, based on most estimates. President Trump noted that the added forces are supposed to help fight against the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations such as the Taliban. Some of the troops will focus on training Afghan forces.
On the back of the news, shares of Northrop Grumman NOC and Boeing (BA) both jumped by over 1.5% on Tuesday. Lockheed Martin (LMT), Raytheon Company RTN, and General Dynamics GD all saw their stock prices gain between 1% and 1.4%.
U.S. defense-based ETF prices also jumped after the announcement was made. Shares of the iShares US Aerospace & Defense ETF ITA, the PowerShares Aerospace & Defense ETF PPA, and the SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF XAR all jumped around 1%.
Yet, even with the addition of 4,000 new American troops in Afghanistan, the total numbers will pale in comparison to the more than 100,000 U.S. troops that were stationed in the country at its 2011-peak.
President Trump said the U.S. wouldn't write "a blank check" nor stay in Afghanistan indefinitely. But the president also came down on one of Afghanistan's neighbors. "We can no longer be silent about Pakistan's safe havens for terrorist organizations, the Taliban and other groups that pose a threat to the region and beyond," President Trump said in his speech on Monday.
The Pakistani stock exchange KSE 100 index fell by 0.40% on Tuesday, which marks a continued downward trend for the index in August.
Additional Gains
On top of the potential gains from an increased U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, Lockheed Martin recently won a $427 million deal to work on America's fleet of F-35 Aircrafts. Boeing and Northrop Grumman also won separate $320-plus million deals to begin to replace America's aging arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

In testimony Tuesday morning before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, former CIA Director John Brennan revealed publicly for the first time that he was "concerned" about contacts between Russian officials and people involved in the Trump campaign.
"I encountered and am aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and United States persons involved in the Trump campaign that I was concerned about because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals".
Monday evening, The Washington Post reported that Trump asked the Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, and Adm. Mike Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency, to push back against the FBI's Russia probe by publicly denying any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 election.
During a House Intelligence Committee Hearing on Tuesday, former CIA Director John Brennan said the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign's connections with Russian Federation is "well founded".
Investigators also have questions about contacts between the Russians and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The post Former CIA director says Russian Federation was warned not to interfere in election appeared first on PBS NewsHour.
But he said that there were information about the contacts between Russians and a USA person with the Trump campaign.
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., chairman of the committee, recused himself from the panel's Russian Federation investigations after the House Committee on Ethics announced it was investigating Nunes for disclosing classified information.
When asked if Russia's contacts were with official members of the Trump campaign, Brennan repeatedly declined during the hearing to identify specific individuals because of the classified nature of the information.
But when Gowdy pushed him for an answer, Brennan revealed that "intelligence" had detected "contacts and interactions between Russian officials and USA persons involved in the Trump campaign".
On January 16, Trump told reporters, "I have nothing to do with Russian Federation". Brennan believes Moscow wanted Trump to win the White House. But Brennan told the committee that President Donald Trump would have violated protocol if he shared such information with Russian officials in the Oval Office spontaneously. Brennan filled in some details on the timeline of Russian meddling, telling lawmakers that his agency first became aware of Moscow's desire to stew chaos in the election in the summer of 2016.
The comments came one day after lawyers for Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn informed the Senate Intelligence Committee that he would not cooperate with a subpoena for records of communications related to Russian Federation. But regardless of the distinction Gowdy was trying make, it wouldn't protect Trump one bit from the obstruction of justice case now hanging over his head. The classified information was reportedly about an ISIS threat and provided to the U.S.by Israeli intelligence.
It was the closest an American intelligence official has come to explaining the genesis of the FBI investigation into whether the Trump campaign cooperated in Russia's meddling in the US election, and it made clear that what Trump has called "the Russian Federation thing" was viewed past year with the utmost seriousness by the intelligence community.
Meanwhile, Brennan is also likely to face questions about a split among intelligence leaders last summer over the objective of Russia's meddling in the U.S. election - whether it was created to support Trump or merely spur chaos and confusion in the election.

Deborah Flint will take over as President and Chief Executive Officer of Greater Toronto Airport Authority in April 2020 (photo: Los Angeles World Airport).
Lester B. Pearson airport in Toronto is Canada's largest hub (photo: GTAA).
Toronto's Pearson International has turned to a global mega-hub for its future leadership, hiring Deborah Flint away from Los Angeles to chart the course for Canada's largest airport.
Flint has 24 years experience as an aviation executive, and helped launch $14 billion investments at Los Angeles International, such as a new terminal, new people mover, and new consolidated car rental facility.
Los Angeles is considered one of only two North American mega-hubs, with more than 87 million passengers last year. Mega-hubs are facilities that handle more than 50 million passengers, with a high percentage of connecting and international passengers. Toronto hopes to join their ranks by year's end.
"In the world of international airports, Toronto Pearson is a rising and notable star," said Flint, "known for its significant accomplishments on passenger service, growth in passenger traffic, and its leadership in working with both industry and community partners to take a regional perspective on the role a mega-hub airport plays in lifting those around it."
Perhaps most importantly, Flint also steered the course for a new Intermodal Transport Facility at LAX. Toronto's leadership has been anxious to have governments buy into their plan, called Union Station West, to turn the airport into an aviation, rail, and transit hub for Southwestern Ontario.

It is a homecoming of sorts for Flint who grew up in nearby Hamilton, Ontario.
"As a Canadian-born airport executive," she said, "I consider it a privilege to be able to return home to lead this organization and ensure it continues to deliver benefits to all of our stakeholders."
"Our loss is Toronto's gain," said Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti who appointed Flint to her current job in 2015. "But her time in Los Angeles will be remembered for strengthening our work to improve the traveller experience for Angelenos and millions of visitors throughout the world."
Flint will replace current Toronto CEO Howard Eng when he retires at the end of March after eight years at the helm during a time of of solid passenger growth.
Vancouver International Airport CEO Craig Richmond will step down June 30, 2020 (photo: Brett Ballah).
Toronto is not the only airport with big shoes to fill. Vancouver Airport Authority head Craig Richmond announced this week he will retire at the end of June after seven years at the helm of Canada's second-busiest airport.
During his tenure, Vancouver was awarded top spot in the coveted Skytrax Awards as North America's top airport for 10 straight years. The facility also saw significant passenger growth, and Richmond helped oversee the launch of bussing operations at the airport for select international flights, reducing the need to build expensive new gates.
"Craig has led YVR through a period of unprecedented growth all while ensuring that we delivered on our mandate, as a not-for-profit community-based organization, to provide social and economic benefits to the region," said Annalisa King, Chair, Board of Directors, Vancouver Airport Authority in a statement.
Richmond also helped build bridges with the local Indigenous community, signing the Musqueam Indian Band – YVR Airport Sustainability and Friendship Agreement to provide economic benefits to band members on whose land the airport operates.

Amanda Stanton, of "The Bachelor" and "Bachelor in Paradise" fame, was arrested Monday in Las Vegas on charges of domestic violence, TMZ first reported.
The 28-year-old was in town to celebrate a friend's bachelorette party with her boyfriend, Bobby Jacobs. Hotel security staff responded to a noise complaint in the hotel room and witnessed Stanton shove Jacobs, so they called the police.
She was booked at Clark County Detention Center and released later that day.
According to Honig, Stanton had a "few drinks" at the party and "got a bit rambunctious" when security asked her and her boyfriend to quiet down.
"Amanda gave Bobby what she thought was a playful shove; hotel security did their job and reported the incident to the police, who in turn did their job," Honig said.
Stanton first appeared on Ben Higgins' season of "The Bachelor," which premiered in 2016.
After finishing fourth on the show, she appeared on Season 3 of "Bachelor in Paradise" and got engaged to Josh Murray. The two ended their relationship in 2017, and Stanton began dating "Bachelor" alum Robby Hayes.
E! News confirmed that Stanton was dating Jacobs in May. He often makes appearances on Stanton's Instagram account alongside her daughters, Kinsley and Charlie.
The story has been updated with a statement from the Las Vegas police.

I began traveling at 3 years old, lucky to have parents with a connection to the world and the desire to satisfy the need to experience that connection. At age 11, while taking a cold bucket bath in Indonesia, I was terrified as I lifted my towel and found a coiled snake sleepily looking up at me. I leapt over it, rushed across the hall to my room, flicked on the light and was literally shocked as my wet hand met with the electrical current. From then on, I was hooked on travel. I chose the degree of World, Arts & Cultures at UCLA as a continuation of my interest in the cultures of the world and as a catalyst to travel extensively and live in different countries. Money ran out often throughout my wanderings and my list is left unfulfilled.
While studying for my Masters Degree at NYU, I fell into a depression and struggled with knowing my place in the world. My oasis of peace amid the craziness of NYC was the Integral Yoga Institute, an ashram in the middle of the city. Needing a break from the intensity after graduating, I left NYC for the quiet of the California coast. I hiked the redwood forests and learned to surf. I delved deeper into the practice of yoga and was drawn back to Integral Yoga to do my first yoga teacher training.
Inspired and feeling like a new person — lighter and more at peace — I began teaching immediately. I did a further training in Therapeutic Yoga to deepen my understanding of the healing powers of yoga. My classes infuse the Hatha asana practice with restorative poses as well as pranayama and meditation. My next training while at the Integral Institute in India was co-taught by a Vinyasa instructor expanding my teaching knowledge. I began incorporating Vinyasa flow into my classes, finding a balance between active movement and stillness.
While planning on only spending two months in India, I couldn't leave, ultimately staying for a year. I found places to study dance, to learn Hindi, and experience yoga in India. I was initiated into a meditation practice that took me to a revelatory place. I studied chanting along the Ganges. I meditated in a cave.
Yoga inspires, fulfills, and teaches me, constantly. It is an evolving and life long practice. I have surfed the waves of understanding and fallen off the board many more times than I have stood up. But I keep trying.
I love to travel, to teach yoga, and to write.
I took a hiatus for a few years to have my son which has been the most challenging and rewarding and overwhelming and instructive thing I have ever experienced. He is my light.


What exactly is a subdomain? How can you set up one? How could it help your Internet presence?
A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. As an illustration, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the main school website. If you use subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.
If you get a cloud hosting package from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder within the account that it'll open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to access numerous functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
You are able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will permit you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you can even access the web site files or view logs and usage statistics through fast access buttons.

Persons with disabilities face more challenges than most when it comes to securing and sustaining a job. But in recent years, more has been done to enable persons with disabilities who want to – and can – work get into the workforce. Start exploring here.
For information on funding support, training and other resources for employers, training providers and job coaches, please refer to SG Enable's Disability Employment website.
For information on sheltered workshops and other adult care services, please click on the Service Directory.
Understanding work
At the individual level, employment can boost a person's physical, mental and emotional well-being. It helps to give him the dignity of earning his own keep, and a sense of fulfilment that comes from using his skills and talents meaningfully, and contributing to his family and society.
Persons with disabilities can generally be in open employment, i.e. working in mainstream, non-segregated environments, or supported employment. Both models involve competitive work done in integrated work settings, but differ in the level of accommodation and job support received by the employee with disability.
Success stories of employees with disabilities
Internships at NUH: Experience, growth, and independence for these 4 young people
Preparing for work - Students in SPED schools
Post-school planning begins many years before graduation, when the student is 13-14 years old.
Special Education (SPED) schools will work with students and their parents to provide students support through a structured transition planning process, and start to assess students' interests, preferences, employability and strengths. Different SPED schools may adopt different programmes and processes, so caregivers may want to check with the school early to facilitate goal-setting with their care recipient.
SG Enable works with selected SPED schools on the School-to-Work Transition Programme (S2W) and other work prep initiatives such as Job Shadowing Day. The S2W programme is a structured nine-month programme for fresh SPED graduates, which includes placing trainees in internships in workplaces under the supervision of job coaches to gain real-world work experience. The selection process for S2W starts in the last year of SPED school.
Some students with disabilities will go on the vocational track in special education settings. Metta School, APSN Delta Senior School and Mountbatten Vocational School offer vocational education leading to national (WSQ and NITEC) certification, which helps improve their employment prospects. More information can be found on our Education page.
Other post-school options for SPED students are sheltered workshops and day care centres.
Preparing for work - Students in IHLs
Students in IHLs increasingly see the value to doing internships, vacation jobs and attachments to gain real-world working experience and start building their resumes. Students with disabilities tend to face more challenges in this regard than their typical peers, which could put them at a disadvantage when it comes to securing jobs post-graduation.
Every IHL has a SEN Support Office – or equivalent – that helps students with disabilities access educational services. Students may benefit from approaching the office to see how to get support for work preparation. These may be run by agencies like SG Enable - click the links below for more information.
IHL Internship
RISE Mentorship
These free programmes are for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, physical impairment, hearing impairment and visual impairment.
Preparing for work - Adults with acquired disabilities
For adults who acquire a disability due to accidents or illness, the limitations posed by their impairments may prevent them from going back to their old jobs. Returning to work means a long process of letting go of the past, discovering new career interests and building new skills.
SG Enable's Hospital-to-Work (H2W) programme provides participants with a holistic suite of services that include rehabilitation, personal development and skills training, and employment assistance. Support is coordinated through a H2W Case Manager.
H2W programme caters to Singapore Citizens and PRs with acquired Intellectual Disability, Physical Disability, Hearing impairment and Visual impairment.
For persons with disabilities, job-hunting is usually not as straightforward as that for a typical person. Of course, not every person with disabilities need specialised services, or extra help of any kind. But for others, a service like dedicated Job Placement Job Support (JPJS) comes in handy.
A number of organisations, including SPED schools, provide employment assistance to jobseekers, though not all provide the suite of services associated with job placement and job support agencies. Basically, JPJS services cover the following:
Assess the jobseeker's strengths, job interests and skills, and identify training opportunities
Help the jobseeker identify job opportunities and link up with prospective employers
Assess the nature of the job and job tasks for suitability
Assess the built environment for accessibility
Work with the employer to modify the job and workplace, and make use of assistive devices, if needed
On-site job coaching to help the new employee integrate into the workplace and make friends
SG Enable and its partners, Autism Resource Centre (Singapore), Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS) and SPD, are agencies funded by the government to provide JPJS services. These agencies will work with the jobseekers to see what support is required, which could range from job matching to job coaching that can last up to 12 months. Persons with disabilities can approach SG Enable and its partners for help with job placement and opportunities to upgrade their skills.
Look for jobs from inclusive employers
Stay updated with the latest training and employment opportunities from SG Enable
It goes without saying that having relevant skills is an essential first step to getting a job and staying in the job. There is no shortage of courses in Singapore, but inclusive courses are far fewer in number. SG Enable funds training providers to develop and conduct courses that are customised to persons with disabilities. Being subsidised, they also available at nominal rates. Information on such courses can be found in the link below:
Information on training programmes by SG Enable
People can also explore other training courses listed on My SkillsFuture (those eligible for SkillsFuture Credits) and courses offered by private schools.
Grants and subsidies are available to persons with disabilities to help defray training cost. These include:
Mediacorp Enable Fund
SkillsFuture Credit
SkillsFuture Study Awards (SFSA)
Workfare Training Support (WTS) Scheme
Employers who hire persons with disabilities may also be eligible for funding support under the Open Door Programme (ODP) when they send their employees with disabilities for training.
Assistive technology at work
Assistive technology (AT) devices and software can help reduce, or even remove, challenges which persons with disabilities may face at work.
Employers of persons with disabilities can tap the Open Door Programme's Job Redesign Grant. It subsidises the cost of making accommodations for the employee, and covers the purchase of equipment, workplace modifications and redesigning of jobs or processes.
Persons with disabilities can approach a facility like Tech Able to learn more about the potential of assistive technology devices to improve their productivity at work. Assistive technology assessors can recommend suitable assistive technology devices or software and help apply for subsidies, if any. Check out our service directory for a list of places to get an assistive technology assessment.
More information on the types of AT solutions and financial supports available can be found on the Assistive Technology page.
Employment laws
All employees in Singapore, including those with disabilities, have entitlements such as on-time payment of salaries and paid medical leave.
The Ministry of Manpower's WorkRight initiative helps employees understand their rights in accordance with the Employment Act and CPF Act (Central Provident Fund Act).
Employees, including those with disabilities, who have faced discrimination while looking for a job or discrimination at work can report this to the Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practices (TAFEP). Some organisations also offer advisory services on employment laws.

Q: Why are there so many memory grants? My website handles a large number of concurrent requests - all requesting the same stored proc to be run.
I notice that there are a large number of memory grant requests when I run this dmv query :

Is this because I should be allocating more memory for each query? Currently it is set to 1024 KB minimum memory per query.

Q: ssh: Identity not Loaded from Keychain at Startup I have configured a host in my ~/.ssh/config like this
Host pptest
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_test_2048_pp
UseKeychain yes
AddKeysToAgent yes

This key has a passphrase on it. As was my understanding, UseKeychain and AddKeysToAgent should automatically load the keys passphrase on reboot, however I have not found this to be the case. To get for instance a git-fetch (or any remote action involving ssh) working, I still need to run an
ssh-add

beforehand.
Why is this happening?
My system is 10.15.5 (19F96)

A: It should work, as illustrated here.
I would add the User and Hostname to your config entry.
And, as explained in "Solving 'UseKeychain' Not Working for Password Protected SSH Key Logins on macOS" from Wesley David, I would use the full path for the key.
Host pptest
  IdentityFile /Users/<me>/.ssh/id_rsa_test_2048_pp
  UseKeychain yes
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  User git
  Hostname actual/url/for/pptest

The URL would then be:
pptest:user/repo.git

And I would make sure to test it manually first
ssh-add -K /Users/<me>/.ssh/id_rsa_test_2048_pp # check it prompt for a passphrase
# reboot
# then check a git ls-remote pptest:user/repo.git works

David mentioned:

You may want to try first adding your key with ssh-add -K using the full filesystem path to the key.
  Then you may want to remove any other references to the key file in Keychain Access that use relative paths.

Q: Is it possible to use count to get total rows while maintaining query? The following query gets all the results from a table called video
SELECT video.* from video
LEFT JOIN conv_progress on video.vid_id=conv_progress.vid_id
LEFT JOIN upload_progress on video.vid_id=upload_progress.vid_id
where conv_progress.vid_id is null
AND upload_progress.vid_id is null
ORDER BY video.timestamp DESC LIMIT ?, ?

I just want to count the total results for pagination usage. The current limit ?,? reduces my count if I use rowCount().
SELECT video.*, COUNT(vid_id) as count from video
LEFT JOIN conv_progress on video.vid_id=conv_progress.vid_id
LEFT JOIN upload_progress on video.vid_id=upload_progress.vid_id
where conv_progress.vid_id is null
AND upload_progress.vid_id is null
ORDER BY video.timestamp DESC LIMIT ?, ?',$variables

This query only returns one result but a proper count number. Anyone know how I can fix this?

A: MySQL has a sql_calc_found_rows extensions, which forces the DB engine to calculate how many rows WOULD have been retrieve if it wasn't for the limit statement. You can then retrieve this full-row-count with [SELECT found_rows()][1] in a separate query.
Basic syntax for the parent query would be:
SELECT sql_calc_found_rows video.*  FROM video
...
LIMIT ?,?

A: I would simply calculate the total:
SELECT count(*) from video
LEFT JOIN conv_progress on video.vid_id=conv_progress.vid_id
LEFT JOIN upload_progress on video.vid_id=upload_progress.vid_id
where conv_progress.vid_id is null
AND upload_progress.vid_id is null

Then, from the language you're using, determine the smallest of between the returned count and the number of rows your query would have limited with your two ? parameters. In PHP:
min($query_count,$upper_bound-$lower_bound)

Former Governor of Katanga Moise Katumbi Reacts to Democratic Republic of Congo National Government Statement About Need to Delay National Elections
On: November 2, 2015 By: admin
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2015 / PRNewswire — Earlier today an article coming out of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) reported a spokesperson for DRC's President Kabila saying that the national elections scheduled for the fall of 2016 should be delayed "2 to 4 years". President Joseph Kabila is constitutionally limited to two terms, the second of which ends next year. This appears to be an attempt by President Kabila to stay in power.
Former Governor Moise Katumbi made the following statement from Algeria shortly after his soccer team, TP Mazembe, played in the first game of the CAF Champion League Finals. A game his team won 2-1.
Gov. Katumbi's message of peace is in reaction to the acts of intimidation and a faux coup that President Kabila is reportedly attempting to fabricate then pin on his political opposition (notably Mr. Katumbi).
Below is Moise Katumbi's on the record statement in response to the report that the ruling party is calling for a delay in the national election:
"The ruling coalition's call to delay national elections is troubling but unfortunately not surprising. The people of the Democratic Republic of Congo have spoken through their Constitution that they do not want a president for life – and that they want presidents to be limited to no more than two five-year terms. More than that, the Congolese people want regular, free, fair, and transparent elections – and that should start with a national election in the fall of 2016.
"As frustrating as this latest announcement from the government may be to the Congolese people – and to me personally – I continue to believe that the only and best way to share our displeasure is through peaceful, non-violent means. I have never believed in violence as a means of resolving differences in a civil society and I deplore its use. If others choose to protest, I ask that that they do so peacefully — for their safety and the strength of our country. In order for democracy to flourish in the DRC we must demonstrate to ourselves and the world that we are able to achieve a peaceful and lawful transition of power."

What joy it was to behold the glow of sunrise reflecting off ice-laden trees a couple of weeks ago. Now we are awaiting a heavy snowfall with six to twelve inches of snow predicted. It's surely winter in Michigan and I am enjoying the beauty of the season. Yes, it is cold. Bitterly so. But snuggled warm in my home, it is hard to complain. I am so thankful.
The fact of the matter is that the transforming work of grace is more of a mundane process than it is a series of a few dramatic events. Personal heart-and-life change is always a process. And where does that process take place? It takes place where you and I live everyday. And where do we live? Well, we all have the same address. Our lives don't careen from big moment to big moment. No, we all live in the utterly mundane.
Most of us won't be written up in history books. Most of us only make three or four momentous decisions in our lives, and several decades after we die, the people we leave behind will struggle to remember our lives at all. You and I live in little moments, and if God doesn't rule our little moments and doesn't work to recreate us in the middle of them, then there is no hope for us, because that is where you and I live.
May God rule in the mundane moments of your day today. Have a blessed weekend, friends.

Willow Creative Co is more than just a creative powerhouse - they're a movement in their own right, choosing to only work with ethical, sustainable and vegan brands.
Why? They want to live in a world where treating people, animals and the planet with love is the norm, so they're using their creative talents to help elevate brands that are doing just that.
We sat down with Emma to find out the catalyst for why she started and what's in store for Willow in the future, both near and far.
What made you start Willow Creative Co?
I was working as a model in the fashion industry. I then became vegan, and later started learning about the people who made my clothes.
This started especially when I went to Dorsu's workshop in Cambodia and heard from the women who run it - one of whom was Australian, and the other who was from Cambodia and had first hand experience of the human rights violations involved in so much of the fashion industry. Slowly I learnt, and slowly I became more uncomfortable with what I was endorsing and putting my face to - animal products, and clothes made by people paid next to nothing and shown disrespect.
At the start of last year I stopped working with fashion agencies because it had been really difficult for some time before then, trying to enforce my own ethical 'rules' around who I would work for, if someone else was representing me.
When freelancing in the ethical sphere started really working for me, I started producing as well, and I realised there were actually so many ethical and kind brands, but not ethically aligned people to be creating content for them. So many brands wanted to be more ethical - brands interested in vegan products and in better supply chains, but that didn't know how to go about it all.
What is your big vision for Willow Creative Co?
Right now Willow essentially does the two things: creating for ethical brands and organisations to create greater awareness of them and what they do, and helping brands become more ethical. I would love to see big fashion companies coming to Willow for help in making them more sustainable, more ethical. I'd love to have Willow creating huge campaigns, huge billboards with huge reach to new audiences, addressing serious issues and promoting things that combat them. I'd love to see more brands commit to ending their use of animal products and swapping to vegan designs. Way down the track I envision a workshop where Willow can actually ethically produce clothing for brands, that way brands know exactly how it's all done. I see a lot of things, and I plan on making them all happen!
I think two things. The first is Willow. She's the namesake of everything I'm doing (you can read about her on the website). She's the first lamb I fostered. Every time I think of her I think of the billions of animals less fortunate than her and I want to fight for them. The second is probably the hardship I have faced in my life. I had some serious trauma in my childhood and it makes me want to help other people who are being treated poorly. It gave me a lot of empathy and I think that's what fuels it all: empathy.
It is never wrong to be kind. My Mama taught me that.
Honestly I should have a much better one than I do! My saviours are a hot shower in the morning and moisturising my face. They make me feel excellent and ready to do things.
I'm trying to every morning say a list of affirmations I wrote for myself in the mirror. I definitely believe they're very powerful and push any imposter syndrome feelings I have that try to scare me off of what I'm doing.
I don't think I have an end point where I will feel like I've 'hit' success, I'm always going to be growing. But so long as I am making the world kinder and seeing change I have helped to create, I will feel good about what I'm doing. I'm trying to always remind myself that happiness is success too!
High school me would be shocked to know I'm saying this, but probably Macbeth. I think it encapsulates the dangers of a greed for more, especially more power. I think the world would be a lot better without that. It's scary how easily it can flip us.
I'm going to say two (sorry to break the rules!).
Dominion, because if you can't watch it you shouldn't support what it shows through consumption/wearing of animal products - standard practice in animal agricultural industries.
The True Cost. It opened my eyes to the suffering caused by buying unconsciously. I used to think a $2 garment was amazing, now I think it's awful.
Individual choices matter so much. When one person says 'my choices don't matter', we have to remember there are billions of us saying the same thing. Look into the way you live and consume. Go vegan. Ask 'who made my clothes?'. Research. It's okay if you're not perfect if you're trying and learning - we never stop! Start with something you feel passionate about.
Two people I admire a lot in two areas I care about a lot are Chris Delforce (founder of Aussie Farms, creator of Dominion), Carry Somers (founder of Fashion Revolution). But I think there are so many individuals doing their bit to make the world a better place, and the collective effort is what will make a difference.


A new landmark study, published yesterday in Science, has found that the current rate of species extinctions is more than 1,000 times greater than their natural rate, calculated from the fossil record and genetic data spanning millions of years, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
The new study used the fossil record and genetic data to determine that species of plants and animals are going extinct 1,000 times faster than their natural rate—that is, when humans arrived.
The primary cause of this dramatic rise in loss of species is human population growth, habitat loss and increased consumption, as well as uncertainties in predicting future extinctions from the spread of invasive species, diseases and climate change.
The study is one of the most comprehensive assessment on species extinction rates. Data on species distribution and impending threats were used to estimate the extinction rate, which is actually considered conservative because of the large number of species still unknown to science.
Acclaimed conservation biologist Dr. Stuart Pimm of Duke University and lead author of the study found that over the last four decades, the number of species under threat of extinction would have been 20 percent higher were it not for conservation efforts.
Further noted in the study, some groups of species are going extinct at even greater rates, such as freshwater fish in North America, due to the degradation of rivers and lakes from dams, pollution, spread of non-native species and direct destruction. One example of this is the continent's slugs and snails—their current extinction rate is nearly 10,000 times their natural rate.
"There can be no question that we're fouling our own nest, but what this study shows is that this has consequences not just for us, but for the millions of other species with which we share this world," said Greenwald.


Today is a pretty special one for TV fans, because the long wait from TV's winter hiatus has finally come to an end, bringing new episodes of everyone's favorite small screen adventures for ABC's lineup of Shonda Rhimes originals Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away With Murder, affectionally referred to as TGIT. And considering Rhimes' love for cliffhanger endings, the midseason premieres seemingly promised the answers and resolutions audiences had been waiting for. Unfortunately, Grey's Anatomy threw the fandom a major curveball by not addressing its cliffhanger at all.
Season 13's midseason premiere, titled "You Can Look (But You'd Better Not Touch)", is a capsule episode set on the same night as the midseason finale. Just three doctors make up the cast - Arizona Robbins, Jo Wilson, and Miranda Bailey - and the trio travels to a maximum security prison in order to assist a 16-year-old inmate with the act of giving birth. While an interesting episode filled with unique stylistic moments, fans are likely to be disappointed with not finding out whether or not Alex actually gave himself over to the authorities and went to prison.
Much of Season 13 has focused on Alex Karev's legal and occupational proceedings following nearly beating DeLuca within an inch of his life. The doctors and audience feel both loyalty to the original cast member, as well as mixed feelings about this attack, making for a great television experience. The midseason finale saw Alex heading to the District Attorney to turn himself in, despite Meredith's pleading to stay and fight. As Alex was called into the office the episode ended, leaving an excruciating cliffhanger for the audience to dissect over the holidays. And now we still have to wait to see if how all that dissection compared to the drama.
I know I was personally expecting Grey's Anatomy to deliver some answers, which was why "You Can Look (But You'd Better Not Touch)" was a somewhat maddening hour of television. The episode ended with Bailey "dropping the bomb" that Alex turned himself in, which was an ineffective scene since the audience already knew and spent the preceding hour (as well as the months before it) waiting for answers. Alas, nothing would come up... except for maybe Jo's lunch when she got sick on the side of a road.
But if Grey's fans can put this disappointment aside, the episode itself was actually pretty great. It had nothing to do with the narrative of the show, but a change of scenery was welcomed. In addition to the standard camerawork, we also saw some scenes through the prison's security footage, adding something unique to the episode. And with so few stories being told, it was easy to become invested with the central trio. Additionally, a badass raspy-voiced lady doctor was introduced that I'd love see making a visit to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in a future episode.
Grey's Anatomy airs Thursday nights on ABC. To see what else is returning to your televisions soon, head over to our midseason premiere schedule.

5/5: 5 artists, 5 project rooms

Curators Ana Trincão; Atena Abrahimia; Beatriz Vasconcelos; Catarina Veloso; Daniela Ambrósio; Elena Ndidi Akilo; Eva Zbogo; Gabriela Moura; Gregor Taul; Helena Correia; Ilios Willemars; Inês Sampaio; João Marques da Silva; Mafalda Duarte Barrela; Manon Zeidler; Marina Caresia; Martin Poiret; Orsola Vannocci; Péricles Carvalho
Artists Luísa Jacinto, Miguel Palma, João Biscainho, Teresa Braula Reis, Paula Prates.
As a first year doctoral student of Lisbon Consortium I took part of an elective course for curating led by professor Luisa Santos. Besides extensive reading and lots of discussion, the class finished with an exhibition project where 20 students formed teams to curate 5 artists in 5 different project spaces. I was happy to work with a couple of very nice people on Luísa Jacinto's project at the foyer of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa.

The project 5/5: 5 artists, 5 project rooms puts together the students' final projects of the first edition of the Curatorship Lab, in the frame of the international MA and PhD programme in Culture Studies of The Lisbon Consortium.
For the past 7 years, The Lisbon Consortium has housed one of the world's leading graduate programmes (ranked #3 by Eduniversal Worldwide Best Masters Ranking in Arts and Cultural Management) dedicated to the study and advanced training in the multidisciplinary field of Culture Studies as well as the professional integration of students. This collaborative network brings together theory, applied research, cultural programming and management.
Based upon an innovative training model and collaborative effort between academic and cultural institutions, such as the cooperation established with Carpe Diem Arte & Pesquisa in the frame of 5/5: 5 artists, 5 project rooms, the Programme operates through epistemological reciprocity, demonstrating how cultural practices illuminate critical reflection.
The Curatorship Lab, in the frame of this Programme, is poised to account for artistic production and circulation in light of contemporary subjects of inquiry such as globalisation; spatial politics; new institutionalism; social practice; art and conflict; and arts based research. Seen through the lens of curatorial practices, the vectors of such inquiry based approach take on real specificity, aiming for a firm foundation for a series of 5 experimental projects, by 5 contemporary artists – João Biscainho, Luísa Jacinto, Miguel Palma, Paula Prates, and Teresa Braula Reis, in the field.
Emphasising the interrelatedness of practice and discourse, the Curatorship Lab curriculum encourages alternative interpretations of artistic, institutional, and cultural histories. With 5/5: 5 artists, 5 project rooms, which take the shape of solo exhibitions at the Universidade Católica's campus and at Carpe Diem Arte & Pesquisa, a series of orchestrated parallel programmes and a publication, students and artists aim to generate an engaged investigation into the stakes and claims for curatorial practices.
While believing contemporary art is best grasped in counterpoint with its historical precedents and antecedents, the Curatorship Lab programme recognises the social role of art and its imbrication in other systems such as economy and politics. 5/5: 5 artists, 5 project rooms reflects precisely the charting of various trajectories of art's conception, creation, distribution, display and mediation, interrogating and theorising the character and role of art in our contemporary times.
The engagement of all students with the artists, the Director and curators at Carpe Diem Arte & Pesquisa, the University's staff, as well as other curators and researchers has been core to develop an ambitious, scholarly investigation of topics of importance to past and present art, and to contextualise various aspects of curatorial practices in societal terms.
In this context, it is imperative to praise the true commitment, work and dedication of all artists and students in the preparation and installation of all project rooms as well as in putting together a publication and a parallel programme with wonderful speakers, which, together, write a constellation of interconnected ideas providing a sustained platform for dialogues around art and cultural histories and configuring possible future endeavours.
For the catalogue I wrote a short text on Luisa Jacinto's work No one knows:
No one knows
In 1927 a German-French Jewish surrealist poet Iwan Goll published a novel called
die Eurokokke
in which a hopeless mid-war era man wanders around Europe, leaving behind traces consisting of three words: we don't know. The story's narrator doesn't make it clear what it is that we don't know. Readers may find themselves in a similarly lost position while reading Herman Melville's cryptic novella Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street which has been puzzling critics for its I would prefer not to for more than 150 years. Luísa Jacinto's work No one knows bears a resemblance to these fine examples of human thought, but not so much because of its almost identical slogan, but due to its existential depth and its author's strong belief in poetry.
It is not uncommon that a single poem keeps Jacinto the painter busy for weeks in her studio. Poetry, it has been argued, is foremost rhythm and repetition. Reiteration not only in its formal aspect of rhyme and structure, but in terms of memory and intention. Proclaimed poets possess the language of their colleagues and forerunners. Jacinto is certainly an artist whose work recognizes and values the context she finds herself in.
Hence it was natural that for the exhibition in the foyer of the School of Human Sciences of the Catholic University of Portugal she would produce a new installation which derives from the memory and spirit of the place. Doubtlessly knowledge is the signpost which has lead innumerable people to universities for centuries. Later, many of these students seem to have left the institution with a strong feeling of doubt – calling to mind characters from Goll's and Melville's stories. Then again, a knowledgable doubter never reads a book as if a traffic sign. In fact, a name on a plate is never the object or subject itself, neither is a map a territory, nor a No one knows a no one knows. The artist is inviting us to join – and enjoy – the discussion.
