The emotions that I experienced in the last two weeks have added another piece of heart to my mind. After a semester of intense studying and reading on "development", getting on the ground and putting my ideas into practice is stimulating.
In so many moments during this trip I had déjà vu of my courses at Cambridge University. The people I have talked to in Nablus should be all PhD students. Discussing their struggles and aspirations, they were encompassing in simple, straightforward words the concepts that I have been thinking of intensely. But they speak with a level clarity that makes their words so profound.
Delivering Recrear-Apply! was illuminating through highlighting the gap between the knowledge that you can gain in a class environment and the epiphanies that only face-to-face, heart-to-heart interaction can generate. I hope that the students that attended Recrear-Apply! can feel the excitement that I have felt organizing this workshop and their projects.
This project took the dust off of my 'WHY' (In Kirsten's Recrear-Apply language). My aspirations, ideas and vision are fertile around people and I strive for a balance between loving people around me to death and learning by doing.
We have been emphasizing the importance of extra-curricular activities, especially for gaining practical experience in the field… here is a compilation of our extra-curricular activities this week at RecrearApply! total immersion with the help of some friends.
In truth, this is my favorite type of audience. They take the material seriously and yet they are able to take everything with a great sense of humor. That to me is the type of energy in youth that is needed to begin positive movements towards change.
Later in the day I witnessed this yet again when the student groups presented the projects they had been working on. You might remember that in my opening blog I mentioned how much potential there was floating around – ideas going unnoticed. Well today, they were noticed. The spotlight was on them and it suited them so well. Many of these students were born innovators, change agents and others are getting excited because they have realized they have the capacity to be great.
Sometimes I wonder if they see what my colleagues and I do. Here they are, presenting in a foreign language – already hard enough to do, and doing it with such natural confidence. It is beyond admirable and what's more is that they are genuinely curious about each other's projects, asking questions, showing support and that is probably the most assuring thing. What that lets me know is that even once we are gone there is some form of a support network that could exist. It's only up to them to make sure they utilize it.
Given the ideas I've seen today, I honestly think that every project here is worth pursuing. I really appreciate the amount of thought, passion and creativity has gone into these projects and sincerely hope that the participants will go forth and implement these projects. I promise that if they were to carry out these projects I will do my part and spread the word in my own community back home about what the students of An-Najah are doing.
Between the time I spend in workshops working with these students and at some point yesterday, watching the sunset in the village of Aseera, I find myself becoming absolutely enamored with this place and the people. Tonight especially sealed my love for this place when I was invited into the home of a Palestinian family and warmly welcomed. Wonderful traditional cooking, a lovely family, and engaging unforgettable conversation that leads me to believe more and more about how limited our perceptions have been about the daily lives of these people. They never cease to amaze me. I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record, but these are the only thoughts on my mind. Sheer awe.
I can't believe it's only been four days but I'm exhausted and glad to have the day off tomorrow to explore Jericho.
What a whirlwind few days! I am sitting in a session on project development right now and my mind is being blown. Yesterday, we challenged the students to create project proposals in groups of 8-10 and to present them in front everyone during today's session. Some of these students have never presented in front of a large group of people, most have never presented in English.
Wow. They are truly incredible. We have seen presentations for groups aimed to help advise high school students on what degree to choose for university (there are no academic advisors for high school students in Nablus) so they can have a 'Better Life'. One group proposed creating a centre for only women in the Old City of Nablus – a place where women can mix and mingle together, exercise, spend time and share. Another tried to rally the students to give up one week's worth of cigarettes and cell phone credit for Palestinian's situated in refugee camps in Lebanon.
I am beyond excited by their ideas and the potential of these ideas. I hope and encourage the students to make each proposal a reality. Some of the groups are already committed to begin implementation of their projects next semester. My mind can't even handle imagining the impact these students will have on their communities.
This morning, I sat down with nine students for interviews for the documentary I'm working on of our time here in Nablus – nine brilliant, joyful, driven students who left a huge painful smile on my face. I can't wait to go home and edit all the footage I've been collecting. There are literally five different documentaries that I could make from all the different focuses and stories I've documented!
Last night one of the students, Alaa, invited us to his village to have a barbeque. The level of hospitality, acceptance and love I felt with all the people we met from the village and all of Alaa's friends was incredible. It is hard for me to properly address in words the emotions and happiness I felt while we were singing, dancing and talking around the fire. I was on a high when we arrived back to the apartments.
I want to take a moment now, with one day of workshops left, to thank every individual who we have met from the bottom of my soul. Each of you has left a lasting impression on me; I hope I have done the same.
This was more of a ramble than a coherent blog post… hope you enjoyed!
I hope you enjoyed today's session and you are feeling prepared for tomorrow's presentation.
If you are interested in attending a program at the University of Cambridge (UK), here are some interesting scholarships you should consider applying for.
I would particularly draw your attention to the IDB Cambridge Scholarships for PhD, where a separate application should be made to the Islamic Development Bank, and the Said Foundation Cambridge Scholarships for one-year postgraduate study.
Gates à 800 UK/ 7000 int'l applications : 50 offered!
I hope this helps. If you have questions, please ask!
Video Conference and Kirsten's Arrival!
Yesterday, An-Najah students participated in a videoconference with students from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.
Recrear, an international non-governmental organization focused on helping youth around the world, implemented the session with 100+ students at the university. This was one session of a two weeks long training workshop, 'RecrearApply!'.
"It's an incredible opportunity for the community here. Although, it's a simple idea to connect students in each country, it's never happened here before, or for the students in Canada," said Komal Minhas, one of the Recrear organizers.
For forty-five minutes, the students from Canada asked questions about the barriers students in Palestine faced during the Intifada, how they persevered through those experiences and what life is like now as a student in Palestine. Students from An-Najah were curious about how students at Carleton react to women in hijabs and how to effectively manage your time as a full-time student.
"An-Najah is very excited about this initiative. This is the first of two sessions this week where our students in Nablus will connect with international students. Today, we are going to hold a conference with students from New Orleans," said Mohammad Dwaikat, professor at An-Najah and the main faculty coordinator of the RecrearApply! project.
The RecrearApply! workshop will end this Sunday with a global village at An-Najah University, all are welcome to attend.
All I can say is that it feels like being in a room that is thriving with potential. What they have to offer is beyond measure and yet they are still discovering this themselves. At first this is strange to me but after hearing some of them share their stories, why wouldn't they think that way. Their world is so much more closed off than the one my colleagues and I live in. Yet amidst the struggles their is an immense amount of positive energy floating around. Good ideas going unnoticed and ready to be lifted off the ground. That is why we are here. We aren't imparting ideas but rather the tools they need to empower their own ideas.
At least for myself, I'd like to leave this place knowing that these students feel that it is well within their reach to achieve great things. I'm thrilled an excited to catch up and get to know the students here as best I can in the little time available to us. If you're a participant reading this, keep up the enthusiasm up! It's wonderful and it's always the healthy first step in learning to develop your capabilities.


A Raspberry Pi is used to read data from a PV inverter (Growatt 1500) with firmware version G1.8 (modbus protocol) via the RS232 serial port. The data is automatically uploaded to pvoutput.org. Upload is sceduled every 5 min by setting up a cronjob for running a dedicated python script.
Feel free to use any bit of the code you like. Due reference is appreciated.
The code has been tested over some days and seem stable enough. It spits out a glitch AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'registers' when the inverter is not connected to the grid. But the effect is just that nothing is uploaded to pvout.org.
The most resent upload from the system is here read with a portlet from pvoutput.org.
Go through the tabs below for information on the parts I used for this project.
The Raspberry Pi used here is the model B with 512 MB RAM.
Any Micro USB Charger will do. Buy one with at least 750 mA since the RPI needs to power both a WiFi dongle and a USB/serial adapter.
If your inverter is placed somewhere with poor signal you may consider an external antenna type adapter. But make sure it is compatible with the chipset on the RPI!
I used a RALINK RA5370 with an external antenna.
You will need a few libraries installed in Python before running the code.
And the modbus protocol for talking to you modbus serial device.
If you find any Python libraries missing, please post it here.
Configure your serial port on the RPI correctly before connecting to the inverter. Start with a connection to you PC using putty.
Download the Putty SSH client on your PC.
and make sure your setup looks like this.
I don't know if there is much else to say. Try it out and if you run into problems I may be able to help you out since already made most of the mistakes on the way.

6-Months old Baby dies after being forcefully fed at a creche in Lagos
1:33:00 pm Crime, News
A tragic incident has occurred at a creche in Lagos state. A 6-month-old baby girl passed away after she was allegedly fed forcefully by a staff at the creche on Wednesday, January 2, around 1pm.
According to a source identified as Folorunsho Blessing who reported the incident to Oasis Media, the little girl was left at the creche by her parents when they headed to work in the morning.
Blessing revealed that the baby was reported to have gone into coma after she was fed. He also claimed that the staff at the creche did not seek medical help immediately the baby went into coma.
The 6-month-old baby girl's parents were identified as The Olalekes. It was gathered that the tragic incident had occurred at a creche in Ajanaku street at Opebi off Salvation in Ikeja area of Lagos state.
However, Blessing also told us that the staff claimed that the baby was being fed when she went into coma.
He noted that it was until the parents arrived at the creche that was when the baby was rushed to the hospital. The man alleged that doctors had requested to meet the staff who fed the baby girl.
Folorunsho Blessing also revealed to Oasis Media that the incident has been reported to the police and it is being investigated.
He said: "A horrible incident happened yesterday to a family in Lagos, the family left their 6 month old healthy baby girl at creche in the morning and went to work, around 13:00 hours the babe was forcefully fed by the staff and went to coma, the staff and management did not seek medical assistance quickly for the baby, unfortunately the baby passed away."
"The family name is Mr & Mrs Olaleke , the creche address is 44 Ajanaku St Opebi off Salvation Ikeja Lagos. The babe was dropped in the creche and both parents left for work. According to the staff the baby was being fed when she went to coma, but I believe she was forcefully fed. When the parents arrived at the creche and rushed the baby to hospital the doctors actually requested for the staff who fed the baby. The case has been reported to the police."

Q: Determine time slices in the dataset I have a large dataset, with multiple columns, one of them being a timestamp. The data was gathered for a few weeks, so the timestamps start let's say on the 18th Jan 2017 and end up on the 05 Feb 2017. I'm running a python3 simulator which is using this data. For querying the dataset I use sqlite3. I would like to instead of reading in the whole dataset at once, read it as time slices (a slice might be of size 1 hour, 1 day or 1 week). is there any efficient way to do that?
For example, imagine my dataset is as follows:
A | ... | 18:01:2017 13:59:01
B | ... | 18:01:2017 14:09:15
C | ... | 18:01:2017 14:36:45
D | ... | 18:01:2017 14:37:01
E | ... | 18:01:2017 19:31:13
...
X | ... | 19:01:2017 09:56:59
Y | ... | 19:01:2017 09:58:05
Z | ... | 19:01:2017 10:23:15

So what I want to have as an output of time slices is the following (assume time slice is 1 hour):
output: [A, B, C, D], [E, ...], ...., [X, Y, Z]

Since SQL outputs the result in the form of a table I would like maybe something like that (even though any other way of grouping records into time slices will work), when I add additional column, which defines to which time slice the record belongs
1| A | ... | 18:01:2017 13:59:01
1| B | ... | 18:01:2017 14:09:15
1| C | ... | 18:01:2017 14:36:45
1| D | ... | 18:01:2017 14:37:01
2| E | ... | 18:01:2017 19:31:13
...
n| X | ... | 19:01:2017 09:56:59
n| Y | ... | 19:01:2017 09:58:05
n| Z | ... | 19:01:2017 10:23:15

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans' campaign arm raised $4.1 million in April and has more than $32 million in the bank to defend their majority during this year's midterm elections.
The National Republican Congressional Committee on Tuesday released a summary of last month's fundraising and again trailed its Democratic rival. Since January of 2013, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has outraised its GOP peer in all but two months.
Republicans are positioned to keep their majority, but Democrats are not sitting idly.
The Democrats' campaign committee on Monday said it raised $7.1 million in April and is sitting on $43.4 million in savings.
Combined, the two House committees have raised more than $192 million this cycle.
There are currently 233 Republicans and 199 Democrats in the House. Three seats are vacant.

The most obvious fact about baby animals is that they are awfully cute – I am yet to find one that isn't!
But they are much more than just cute: they tell us the fascinating stories of the diversity of how life starts in the wild.
Here you can find some interesting and strange facts, often unknown, about how it all begins for many wildlife species. You can then start to understand how seemingly helpless newborns do survive.
How are Baby Animals Born?
The Port Jackson shark has hard, spiral shape eggs.
Mum shark uses her mouth to wedge the egg in a crevice.
The egg will stay there for 1 year before a young shark hatches.
Fish: most lay eggs but some give birth to live young.
Examples of life bearers: some sharks, guppies, platy fish.
some exceptions having live babies include boas, vipers and certain lizards such as the blue tongue skink.
Mammals: most have live young but the platypus and the echidna do not! They are egg-laying mammals called monotremes. After the eggs hatch, mum echidnas and platypus feed them milk, like any other mammals.
Also interestingly, Marsupials such as kangaroos and koalas, give birth to tiny young that are not bigger than a jelly bean! When the baby is born, it immediately takes on an impressive journey: it climbs unaided to the safety of its mum's pouch, where it will further develop!
Funnily, the wombat, an Australian marsupial that is a professional digger with large underground burrows, has its pouch entry looking backward, so it doesn't fill up with dirt!
Baby wolves are fed by their parents by regurgitation. That means after the parents have killed and fed on a prey, they come back to their pups and vomit their last meal which the pups eat.
Baby koalas, called joey eat their mum's poo. But not any poo! The poo they eat is a special one made by their mum to be full of good bacteria. Once eaten, the bacteria stay in the joey's gut and help it digest tough leaves. The special poo is called pap.
Learn why animal poo is amazing, not disgusting, to Ecologists.
How to Protect Baby Animals?
Being a new born baby animal can be very dangerous: you are naïve and clumsy, sometimes you cannot even see, hear or walk!
So animals must have strategies to protect their babies… Here are some of the most interesting!
The predator is tricked into thinking she is an easy meal, and follows her instead of hanging around her babies.
The female hornbill, a tropical bird, stays with her eggs in a tree hollow which both her and her partner block. She cannot get out!
But also, no predator get get in!
Many impressive animals keep their fragile baby right in the middle of the group, so that predators can't get to them.
This is the case for example of elephants.
Also oxens, who form a circle with the babies inside and their formidable horns outside. Not many predators would dare get close!
Some baboons have been known to kidnap dog pups.
They raise the puppy in their family. When the dog becomes an adult, it protects its adopted family against predators.
When mum sea-lions go out fishing the next meal, they leave their pups in the safety of the nursery, where all the pups are minded by a designated nanny.
Mum paper nautilus put all her eggs in a shell she makes, and guard the entrance until the babies are born.
Some babies are hiding master: a baby deer for instance, stay still if it senses danger. With its spotted coat, it's perfectly camouflaged.
Spotted hyenas are born ready to fight the world! They are fully operational small hyenas from day one, so much so that they are already able to kill – and will do so. Sadly, it's often their own sibling that they attack first!
How to Transport your Baby Animals?
Newborn baby animals cannot always walk or do so safely, so some parents have clever strategies to move their babies around.
There is an entire group of animal that found a very clever way of transporting babies around: a pocket!
Of course, these are the marsupials: mums of kangaroos, koalas and many more have a pouch on their belly. It's pretty comfortable too, with milk on tap.
Less well known is the marsupial frog: frogs from this group carry eggs or tadpoles in pouches too.
Joey kangaroo in its mum pouch - Remark: only female marsupials have pouches, forget what you saw on "Skippy"
Baby koalas, once they leave the safety of their mum's pouch, still stay with her for a few months. Too big to fit in the pouch, too small to climb trees, they have to hold on tight to mum' back.
Other baby animals such as monkeys, lemurs and gliders will have to hold even tighter as their mum jumps and glides from tree to tree!
Yet baby bats of the flying fox family have it even harder: they have to hold on to mum while she is properly flying around!
Mum crocodiles watch closely as their babies hatch from the nest they have protected while the eggs were developing. When the babies hatch, mum picks carefully the little crocodiles with her mouth, in a special pouch, and carries them to the river. Pretty amazing considering the power of a crocodile jaw, to see how gently she does it!
There are other animals who found that having their babies in their mouth is pretty safe way to carry them around. These animals are called mouthbrooding. Frogs and fish use their mouth to that purpose, and they have to stop feeding for the whole time their babies are in their mouth.
Even more extreme, the gastric-brooding frogs (sadly now extinct) were carrying their unhatched eggs inside their stomach! The eggs, covered in a substance that literally put the stomach asleep, were swallowed by the mum. Later, tadpoles were regurgitated. Again mum could not eat for the duration of the baby development.
Who is the Best Dad for Baby Animals?
It often the mum of baby animals that is the most dedicated parent, but they are some pretty amazing dads around too!
Dad sea horses are given eggs from the mums to incubate in a pouch in their belly! They carry the eggs until they hatch, then give birth – with contractions and all – to live baby sea horses. Pretty amazing when you think they can give birth to up to 2000 babies! Dad will protect them until they fend for themselves.
The giant water bug too carries his babies. Insect don't have a great reputation in terms of parenting, but this dad has eggs glued to his wings to keep them safe until they hatch.
Marsupial frogs carry their young in a pouch. In the Australian marsupial frogs, the male carries the tadpoles until they are fully developed frogs.
In another marsupial frog, although the female will carry the eggs, the male is in charge of the transfer of the eggs into her pouch.
The Arowana fish is a really good dad: he is a mouthbrooder, which means he carries his babies into his mouth to transport and protect them.
The most amazing talent of the Arowana fish is that he leaves the babies out to explore the area when safe, then remember how many babies he has to gather back at the end of play time. Not a small achievement when you have around 100 babies! And around he goes, collecting them one by one, back to the safety of his mouth.
The worst mother for baby animals, on the other hand could be the cuckoo.
This bird lay her egg in someone else nest, in the middle of similar looking eggs. Then off she goes, never to see her baby again, which will be raised by its adoptive parents.
Dad emperor penguins have a very tough job. After producing a single egg, mum penguin needs to go back to see to get food. The problem is the see is far away, and dad will need to protect the egg for two month in glacial conditions: freezing temperatures and 200km/h winds.
Dad needs to balance the egg on his feet at all time. If the egg touches the ground, it will freeze and crack immediately, killing the chick inside.
All of it while not eating.
Other good bird dads include the Rhea. This large, flightless South American bird of the Ostrich family can incubate up to 50 eggs for 6 weeks! Dad rheas also build the nest and raise the chicks with no mother to be seen.
Other birds of the family such as the Cassowaries and Emu in Australia see dads being the single parent: they sit on the eggs and raise the chicks on their own.
The Marmosets, a small primate of South America, have often dads very involved with the young. They carry their babies and groom them, bringing them to mum only for a feed.
Dads of Namaqua sandgrouse, an African bird, are flying up to 80 km a day to find a drink for their babies. They soak their chest feathers with water and fly back so their young can have a drink by sucking on the wet feathers!
Once they are born, small turtle hatchlings are on their own. They must find their way to the sea. They are not shown the way by any adult, and follow the moonlight reflected from the sea.
The sandtiger shark has babies that eat each other before they are even born! Usually the two strongest babies eat all the others of the litter while still inside their mum!
In a similar way, Tasmanian devils have a tough first hours. Mum has around 30 babies, yet only 4 will make it to the safety of the pouch and get milk.
Who is the heavier baby?
On land the heaviest baby is the elephant at 90 to 120kg. That's a big baby!
This is dwarfed by the heaviest baby in the water, the blue whale, with a 3 tons newborn.
Who is the tallest baby?
Just as you would expect, the tallest baby is the giraffe at 1.8m.
Which mammal has the shortest pregnancy?
The bandicoot, an Australian mammal, with 12 days.
Which mammal has the longest pregnancy?
The elephant, with 22 months.
A baby echidna is called a puggle.
A baby whale or dolphin is called a calf.
A baby kangaroo or koala is called a joey.
A baby alpaca/llama is called a cria.
A baby hare is called a leveret.
A baby hawk is called a eyas.
A baby jellyfish is called a ephyra.
A baby beaver is called a pup, kit or kitten.
A baby swan is called a cygnet or flapper.
A baby Monkey is called an Infant.
A baby Panda is called a cub.
A baby Aligator is called a hatchling.
A baby fish is called a fry when they just hatched, then fingerling.
We all know how cute baby animals are, I hope now you also find them amazing!
How life begins and how such small helpless creatures can survive is one of the most fascinating topic in Natural History.
Such diversity and complexity reminds us once more why we need to fight for our wildlife, so that the extinct stomach-brooding frogs that you now know about is not followed by more extinctions!

The Porgs Will Have Their Place In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson Confirms
Michael Briers Oct 11, 2017 8:55 am 2017-10-11T10:49:21-05:00
The porgs may have already wormed their way into the hearts and minds of Star Wars fans long before The Last Jedi's trailer, but once that shot of Chewie piloting the Millennium Falcon hit the interwebs, and the porg let out its first singular cry, Ahch-To's furry critters became an overnight sensation.
Memes flooded the Internet, Photoshop battles gripped Reddit, and younger viewers quickly added a porg replica to their Christmas wishlist. But beneath all the hype existed a small pocket of Star Wars fans who believed that the porgs were too cute, and soon began to question whether the adorable, saucer-eyed creatures even served a purpose in Star Wars: The Last Jedi at all.
Fear not, as writer-director Rian Johnson has gone on record to defend Ahch-To's puffin-like avians, stating that they will "have their place" in the December sequel.
I was like, 'Oh, this is part of the island, we need to find the Star Wars version of this. And then just story-wise — not that they play a big part in the story — but I knew I wanted to find any source of comic relief I could on the island. And so they were very useful in terms of that.

Every Star Wars film tends to deliver an adorable, crowd-pleasing alien that winds up plastered on lunchboxes and pajama bottoms across the world, and the porgs are no different. Granted, further in the interview, Johnson recalled his fears of a potential backlash early on in production.
It wasn't until we got the actual puppets on set and the whole crew reacted with 'oh my god, they're adorable!,' and also then a few people in the crew were of giving them that suspicious side-eye of 'these are cute, but are they too cute?' But the overwhelming reaction on set was everybody loved the porgs. And I love 'em, so you know what? I get it if people are a little wary of cuteness in the Star Wars universe, but I personally love them, and I think they have their place in the movie.
Based on Sunday's unmissable trailer, we imagine at least one porg will accompany Chewie and the gang in the fight against the First Order. Perhaps those pint-sized birds have grown fond of Luke Skywalker? All will be revealed when The Last Jedi lights up theaters on December 15th.

According to reports in England, Inter Milan are considering the possibility of selling Ivan Perisic – for a reduced price of around £31 million. The 29 year old Croat has been a target for several high profile European clubs over the years, but now, it seems as if a move away from the San Siro could be more realistic than ever before.
Manchester United are considered to be the main team interested in acquiring his services, and have enquired about a possible transfer over the course of the last few transfer windows. Unfortunately the Red Devils have refused to meet the required valuation point for Perisic which has led to something of a stand off between the two clubs, but it appears as if Inter are the ones who are going to blink in order for this deal to finally get pushed over the line.
Perisic helped Croatia to reach the World Cup final this past summer in Russia.

Q: Bitwise Compressed Booleans - Toggling Specific Ones Background
I have to store a number of true/false values in a database, and rather than make many columns, I instead am using a single int column, where I store all of the booleans, compressed using Bitwise operators.
Example:
Product 1 is certified as:
Lead Free - Yes
Gluton Free - No
Free Range - Yes
Organic - Yes

So in the DB, in the certs column, I'd compress 1, 0, 1, 1 into 13 (1 + 4 + 8).
I've written quick wrapper functions to compress and extract this information (change from int into boolean array and back).
Problem
I'm not sure of the best way to quickly add and remove values from this. Say I want to update the product to NOT be Free Range anymore. I can take the compressed int, minus 4. That works. Except what if it already wasn't Free Range? If I'm doing bulk operations, I need my function to only remove 4 from products that are currently certified Free Range, or the number gets messed up.
I have figured it out with a lengthy if statement, but it's not elegant. This works:
// $certs_current is the compressed int from the DB.
// $certs_new is a new integer. 4 would mean toggle "Free Range" to true. -4 would mean toggle it to false.

if ( $certs_current & abs($certs_new) ) {
    if ( $certs_new < 0 ) {
        $certs_current += $certs_new;
    }
} else {
    if ( $certs_new > 0 ) {
        $certs_current += $certs_new;
    }
}

This is a lot of if statements. I played around with the | operator, but it only works for adding positive numbers. Pass it a -4 and it breaks. And I can't figure out a nor operator.
Is there a better way to do this?
Edit:
In other words, is there an operator where: If I give it 13 and -4, it'll give me 9. But if I give it 9 and -4, it'll give 9? Or even just 13 and 4.
Edit 2
Adding in the | to my working logic, I've reduced the complexity and still have it working:
if ( $certs_new > 0 ) {
    $certs_current = ( $certs_current | $certs_new );
} else {
    if ( $certs_current & abs($certs_new) ) {
        $certs_current += $certs_new;
    }
}

Basically it says, if the new number is positive, then use the | operator to add it if it needs to be added. If it's negative, then we first check to see if we need to remove it, and if so, remove it. Which is the place where I think we can improve.
The | replaces an if statement, because it only adds the 4 if the 4 isn't already toggled to true (I realized that's a weird way to describe it).
But with the negative number, I still have a nested if statement, which is what I want to remove if possible.

A: You have the compressed value, so why don't you expand it before doing your operations?
$certs_temp = $certs_current
$is_organic = $certs_temp >= 8 && $certs_temp -= 8
$is_freerange = $certs_temp >= 4 && $certs_temp -= 4
$is_glutenfree = $certs_temp >= 2 && $certs_temp -= 2
$is_leadfree = $certs_temp >= 1 && $certs_temp -= 1

And then re-compress with the changed values (if indeed anything has changed).
I think you are asking for trouble if you try to operate directly on the stored integer, which actually represents 4 separate binary flags. Either represent each flag separately in the DB, or if you must have it stored as an integer, then decode it before applying changes or logic.

A: Answer
I figured it out. To toggle a boolean to false, we need to:

*

*Reverse the primary compressed int from the DB, using ~ (13 in the example)

*Add in the absolute value of the new int 4 ( not -4), using |.

*Re-reverse the full int again, using ~.
So the final code, with only one if statement:
if ( $certs_new > 0 ) {
    $certs = ( $certs | $certs_new );
} else {
    $certs = ~( ~$certs | abs($certs_new) );
}

// 13 and 4 .... 13
// 13 and 2 .... 15
// 13 and -4 .... 9
// 13 and -2 .... 13

It is that time of the year again; a clean slate, a fresh page.
You've got this one chance to plan your whole year right. The first month of the year is an excellent time to put your plans down, then waltz through the rest of the year.
What trends will shape 2022 in the world of beauty and lifestyle? Let's take a look at these seven trend predictions.
Indeed, 2021 came with its twists and turns, sweeping us away each time. What bigger, better and more glorious trends should we expect in 2022?
One thing you might have spotted is the gradual migration to long-lasting makeup. Yes, sustainability is a thing now. With this came all forms of semi-permanent makeup and surgical procedures. Will this trend make it into 2022? Definitely!
In 2022, expect the healthier option, not the more expensive one, to top the charts!
7 BEAUTY TRENDS THAT WILL SHAPE 2022
Crystal eyelids
Amanda Gorman's Crystal Eye Makeup (1)
Not much has changed here. We'll still be seeing a lot of glitter, pop and crystals. Of course, they'd be accompanied by a winged liner because we love drama.
Naturalness may be in vogue, but not when it comes to eye makeup. We predict that we will see fewer nude colours and more teardrops, more sparkly water liners, and more glitz in general.
Piercing and pearls are not so far-fetched either. Septum piercings, lip frenulum piercings, and dermal piercings around the eyes may get some spotlight.
Mismatched Acrylic nails

It's barely been months since those cute, tiny square nails popped up, but expect a modification soon. Who says you can't have all the nail shapes you love? Here's a tip for mismatching nails; put the most daring forms in the centre. Mismatched nails typically start with oval nails at the thumbs and pinkies.
The shapes commonly used in a mismatched set are oval, coffin, stiletto, lipstick and square; in that order. Having all five nails mismatched may be a giant leap for some people. There's an easy way out; use your favourite shape for four tips, then lipstick the index fingernail! Either way, the lipstick nail shape is staying.
Deep part, blunt cut, freakishly short bobs

Nothing makes a statement like a blunt cut! This hairstyle sends a clear message: we are taking a no-nonsense stance in 2022. The cut, made well above the nape, emphasises your cheekbones, giving a sharper appearance to your eyes and exaggerating every glare.
The deep centre part and sleekness makes this hairstyle elegant and stylish. Its short length makes it suitable for everyday work and business.
For your 8-inch bob to slap right, it has to be shiny and sleek. Tame the frays, or the bluntness won't have the effect you want. Shiny hair (not greasy hair) is healthy hair.
Scanty fringes
Scanty fringes have always been a thing, but ever since the epiphany of the Bob, the light fringe has enjoyed its share of the limelight. A deep centre part may be a staple, but spicing things up with a fringe is all the excitement you need. Scanty fringes are the universal symbol of carefreeness and wits.
Scanty fringes pair well with short, blunt-cut bobs and long, wavy hair. Adding a detachable sparse fringe to your collection is a wise move.
For decades, it's been the same old braids. Not much we can do about that, right? Wrong answer! Recent trends in braids prove otherwise. From knotless braids to goddess braids, more braid styles have erupted. Curly braids have come to stay.
Vegetarian skincare
Healthy skin will be gold even in 2022. We expect Korean skincare secrets to remain relevant. Expect a lot of plant-based active ingredients; red onion, turmeric, aloes, cucumbers, you name it.
Skin brightening skincare
Our favourite skin brightening agents, Retinol and Vitamin C, is in no way near the end of their prime. We expect to see more of these guys. The list of skin-brightening agents may become a little longer, making room for more pigment reducing ingredients.
Healthier, more sustainable habits will be the markers of 2022. From easily modifiable lifestyle trends to safe decisions in skincare, our predictions point towards a future-forward, long-term outlook.

Do You Have a Grip on the Word?
The ladies Bible study at my church just started up for a new season. As we began to dive into our study my pastor encouraged all of the ladies to get a grip on the Word. Pastor asked if we could pick up our Bibles with one finger or two or three. Then he shared an illustration of a hand holding a Bible. Each finger represented one aspect of how to get a grip on the Word.
The fingers represent hear, read, study, memorize and meditate.
These disciplines ensure that we will have a solid grip on God's Word. Do you and I have a weak grip or a strong grip? Where might you have to get a firmer grip? When you and I take full advantage of these disciplines our grip will be stronger than ever!


When thinking of bratwursts, Johnsonville quickly pops into mind. When thinking about Italian sausage or breakfast sausage, the Johnsonville brand comes to mind more slowly if at all.
People use the ease with which a brand comes to mind as a shortcut in brand evaluation because carefully comparing the options is usually too much trouble. So mental availability, or what might be called mental pop, is crucial.
In order to build its mental availability in sausage generally, Johnsonville has created a series of humorous ads. These two, "Grandma" and "Stay at Home Son," are, by far, the best. Distinctiveness builds mental pop and these commercials are nothing like other sausage commercials. They are not just different, they are fun and funny and worth sharing. The mental availability of the Johnsonville brand in Italian sausage and breakfast sausage will be growing.
And these two ads do more.
Since it is difficult to explicitly communicate great taste, advertisers often imply great taste by illustrating the outrageous things people will do to consume the product. The antics of the characters in "Grandma" and "Stay at Home Son" do a nice job communicating extreme desire for Johnsonville sausage and, hence, they communicate great taste better than any explicit claim could.
The folks who created the ads say, "…the act of sharing sausage forges a bond, a bond we refer to as sausage family." This is an interesting idea, translating the experience of sharing sausage into the emotional reward of strengthening a family bond. But that is not exactly what the ads do. These spots say that serving Johnsonville sausage has a magnetic effect drawing people to the family not out of a warm emotion but out of taste desire.
These two ads, "Grandma" and "Stay at Home Son" work great making the Johnsonville brand pop into mind for more than just brats and suggesting a taste that drives people crazy.
The other two spots, "Misunderstood" and "Family Flavor" (not featured here), don't work as well. In those spots, no one is driven to outrageous behavior out of desire for Johnsonville sausage. The jokes in both "Misunderstood" and "Family Flavor" are mildly amusing but imply nothing about the product.
"Grandma" and Stay at Home Son" should get the bulk of the rotation.

Apparently no 1 bothered to check to see if she was unconscious, and with her paralyzed and unable to tell them she was nonetheless aware, they shocked her anyway. She stated it was unbelievably unpleasant. And of program it never did any good. I will always believe the shock remedies and drugs given by the psychological health people brought on unnecessary injury to my sister.
Bowser: "This is a city where individuals's notion of steel is always a little bit different from what we and most metalheads are used to. There are a lot of metalcore and emo teams in this common region. It also appears like a great deal of screamo bands are being billed as steel bands that can truly disappoint an audience when they expect to see a full-on steel show.

I really discovered two all-natural cures. The one I utilized in the starting was a supplement that contained glucosamine, alongside with a t-spoon of flax seed oil every day, and colloidal silver. I was performing so good in sensation I was completely cured, that I stopped using the daily supplements, along with everything else. When the arhtritis began to return, I couldn't discover the complement. I attempted so numerous glucosamine supplements and none had the exact same impact as the initial did. So this is what lead me to the genuine cure.

Maid Brigade Is Giving Away Franchises To Military Veterans
Maid Brigade, a green franchise out of Atlanta, is giving away franchises…...
The Maid Brigade Veterans Franchise Giveaway, is a program that will
award more than $1.5 million in business ownership opportunities to 100+ veterans, creating more than 1,000 jobs nationwide. WOW!
If you are a Veteran, you military experience could come in handy as a franchise owner. To enter, just tell the judges over at Maid Brigade how your experience and responsibilities in the military would qualify to make you a successful Maid Brigade franchise owner.
This franchise consultant is honored to be a part of this program. As a matter of fact, one of the judges, Ray Toombs, is a Canton, Ohio Maid Brigade franchise owner who I helped get into business…..
The contest comes at a time when America's economy is down, but patriotism is high. Maid Brigade, the award-winning residential cleaning service and longtime supporter of the military, is acting on both fronts by offering new careers to veterans, a group it considers worthy, qualified, and proven as franchise owners.
Currently, 10 percent of Maid Brigade owners are veterans; others in the network come from a range of careers.
The contest will launch on Independence Day, July 4, and conclude on Veterans Day, November 11, 2009.
To apply for the giveaway, veterans must visit www.maidbrigadegiveaway.com to complete the form and to submit a short essay by September 30 on how their military responsibilities would translate to successful Maid Brigade franchise ownership.
Maid Brigade will waive its $14,500 Select Market Franchise fee for as many as 100 qualified veteran applicants. Additionally, one grand prize winner will receive a new Maid Brigade franchise operation at zero cost—a total value of $45,000, which includes waived franchise fees, working capital, training, and equipment. Second and third place winners will receive similar packages valued at $27,500 and $17,500, respectively. A Maid Brigade Select Market Franchise is designed for smaller geographical regions.
Owners manage all business aspects of an operation and oversee a staff of employees who clean homes following Maid Brigade's certified Green Cleaning system.
Here's an interview that I did with Ray Toombs, one of the Maid Brigade Veterans Franchise Giveaway judges.

The Offline Glass is an amusing creation by Brazilian art director Mauricio Perussi, featuring a beer glass that requires a mobile phone in order to stand straight.
Yes, it's just a gag, done in conjunction with the Bar Salve Jorge in Cacador, but it's a trenchant one. The idea of creating a co-dependent drinking glass for the sole purpose of subsuming your drinking mate's celly is sadly attractive. So why does this post still get the HIAH moniker, given that the design is attempting to rectify a social ill? Because the fact that Perussi needed to make this comment at all shows we're all going to Hell in a Handbasket. Put your freaking phone down or find more interesting people to drink with.


Prototyping is one of the most important stages of your project early in development. Your prototype is the simplest and quickest demonstration of the spirit of your game. It's what proves that your concept works to investors and stakeholders. Prototypes are commonly created in entirely separate development suites to the final product, and are intended to contain code that will be completely re-written when development starts. For my Studio 3 work, my team and I are building a prototype for our AR garden educational game.
Every game starts as a prototype, and the prototype is the designer's proof that their concept works. It doesn't matter how good the code quality is – because the prototype is made as fast as possible to demonstrate their design. Prototypes don't have any UI or bells and whistles, they communicate game-play only. Our prototype only communicates our menu network, and how our mini-games work at the barest level. As designers, our code works using blu-tack and duct-tape, but it gets across our intentions for the project.
To create the prototype as quickly as possible, we split the work fairly evenly between the four of us. Login and Account Creation, Virtual Garden, Quest and Minigame Examples, and other minigames are split amongst us, to be recombined when we're done. This really streamlined our greyboxing process for the UI and basic functions, and meant that our separate parts took around 4-5 hours to complete individually. Afterwards, it took another 4-5 hours to combine our stuff and undo any script connections that got lost in transit, as well as test and make any quality-of-life improvements.

Woman Who Inspired Jennifer Lopez's Character in 'Hustlers' Is Suing STX
Arden Terry January 8th, 2020 - 9:58 AM
Last year STXfilms released a little movie called Hustlers into theaters. The movie's was inspired by the article The Hustlers at Scores: The Ex-Strippers Who Stole From (Mostly) Rich Men and Gave to, Well, Themselves, which was written by writer Jessica Pressler and appeared in New York Magazine in 2015. As the article's title suggests, Hustlers follows a group of strippers who decide to steal large amounts from their wealthy male clients.
Recently, however, MovieWeb reported that a woman named Samantha Barbash is now suing the studio for $40 million. Barbash was one of the stripper subjects of Pressler's article and allegedly served as the main inspiration for the character of Romana, played by Jennifer Lopez. According to TheWrap, Barbash warned the studio that she was planning to sue them back in September of 2019 when the movie was first being released to theaters. The reason behind her lawsuit is that Barbash feels Hustlers was a violation of her rights as a person, and that the studio did not compensate her for using her likeness.
Hustlers was written and directed by Lorene Scafaria, who is best known for directing Whip It, and starred Constance Wu, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Julia Stiles, Lizzo, Cardi B., and of course Jennifer Lopez.

Care Farming
Program Spotlight: Leisure World
The Red Wiggler team completed our first Leisure World Market of the season on Thursday, August 2nd. This visit has become a beloved tradition for Leisure World residents and our team of Staff & Growers.
Red Wiggler Community Farm's partnership with Leisure World was born in 1999, after resident Ben Margolin, discovered a Washington Post spotlight titled "Growing Abilities." Mr. Margolin, inspired by the Farm's vision of an inclusive workplace, quickly joined leadership at the budding 501(c)(3). His tenure on the Board led to a new strategic vision for RWCF, and he connected Red Wiggler to the Kiwanis Club, which funded the first Leisure World market almost 18 years ago.
Keeping with the organization's vision to create fertile ground to nourish a healthy and inclusive community, Red Wiggler & Margolin began to utilize the Leisure World visit as an opportunity for Growers to sell their harvested crops directly to customers, giving them a sense of accomplishment and the ability to form connections with customers who enjoy their food.
The market has become a tradition for residents at Leisure World, and an exciting occasion for Red Wiggler staff including Growers David Ruch and Nuno Reis.
Nuno, a Grower since 2008, approaches the market as an opportunity to share his favorite activities on the farm and give samples of produce. Nuno says, "I tell them what we grow, and offer tastes of the cherry tomatoes to the customers" as they arrive early to purchase their produce. Nuno also introduced residents to 'ground cherries', also known as physalis, a genus of flowering fruits in the nightshade family that grow on the farm and have a sweet, pineapple like taste.
For David, Red Wiggler's Greenhouse Assistant, Leisure World unlocked his passion for creating floral arrangements that have now become a favorite product among residents and a staple at RWCF fundraising events. David loves to share his knowledge of the Farm's wildflowers; he uses sunflowers, zinnias, snapdragons, and asters to "make rainbow bouquets" for customers.
Katie Junghans, Volunteer & Grower Coordinator, says Leisure World is one of her favorite Red Wiggler distribution sites. "It's a long day of work for us. We pack up the food around 7 so that we can set up by 9. By 8:45 people begin lining up to purchase garlic, potatoes, eggplant, squash, tomatoes, peaches and corn. We especially love that some customers come to chat with us and get to know the growers. It's about interacting with the community."

First - the 10th Anniversary of Una Voce conference was held in Providence, and included Pontifical High Mass (1962 Missal) at my former parish, Holy Name. The music was praised in the review as "supurb musical accompaniment". I'm not surprised. Jacob Stott, my immediate successor, is very good. I posted a comment on Shawn's article stating that many pastors, upon my leaving, tend to hire someone who can "undo" what I've either done or tried to do. When I left Holy Name, however, Fr. Fisette did it different - he hired someone who could "keep it going". Jacob not only keeps it going, but he builds on it quite nicely. Holy Name is a parish that, although I no longer work there, I take great pride in! It's parishioners and music ministry are wonderful.
Second - Worshipping the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness - Fr. Jay Scott Newman, pastor of Saint Mary's in Greenville, SC, gives a great detail of how his parish became, and how your parish can become, the role model for Sacred Liturgy. Great for priests and laity alike that are involved in ministry. RECOMMENDED READING!!!


Paradise Valley police responded to a physical domestic violence call in the 7100 block of N. 47th St. at 12:49 a.m. on Aug. 31 that turned into a short pursuit before the victim was arrested at his residence and confessed to the crime.
Suspect Mario Rincon was reportedly trying to kill his ex-girlfriend with a rock, stole property of male victim and was fleeing the scene when police arrived, according to an Aug. 31 Paradise Valley police report.
Officers began a short pursuit with the victim but due to Rincon's dangerous driving and concern for the public's safety, officers ended the pursuit and requested Phoenix police attempt to locate and arrest Rincon at his residence in the city of Phoenix, stated the police report.
According to police, the female victim stated Rincon is her ex-boyfriend but he showed up at the residence while she was there with her new boyfriend. Rincon entered the house, shoved her down and began hitting her new boyfriend repeatedly in the head with a rock.
Rincon then stole the male victim's wallet, phone and money before fleeing the scene, the report stated.
The male victim stated Rincon barged into the house and began hitting him in the face and head repeatedly before stealing his property and fleeing. The male victim had cuts and bruises on his face consistent with his account of the assault, stated police.
The Phoenix police contacted Rincon at his residence where they took him into custody, stated the report. The male victim's property was located in Rincon's possession, at which time he admitted to the assault and robbery.
Rincon was interviewed by Paradise Valley Police and booked into the 4th avenue jail on charges of burglary, aggravated assault, armed robbery, unlawful flight and domestic violence, according to police.
If anyone has any information regarding this case, contact the Paradise Valley Police Department at 480-948-7410.

The Rolling Stones Continue 50th Anniversary Celebrations With New North American Tour
April 14, 2013 0 Comments Concerts, Music, The Rolling Stones, Concert Tickets, The Rolling Stones Tickets
After returning to the stage late last year for a handful of gigs in the US and London, one of the most iconic bands in rock history are going to continue celebrating their 50th anniversary with the release of The Rolling Stones tickets for their biggest series of shows in six years.
The last time they took to the road with the A Bigger Bang tour, they ended up performing 147 dates over two years, grossing an astonishing $558 million in the process. This time round, they are taking things a little easier with just fourteen shows, the first of which will take place at Los Angeles' Staples Center on May 2nd with tickets starting at $276 and average $971.
The Rolling Stones tickets for all of their following gigs in the US and Canada are also now available, with an unsurprisingly high average get-in price of $370 and overall average price of $1130.
Currently, the May 15th concert at Anaheim's Honda Center features the lowest get-in price at $199, and the June 3rd show at Chicago's United Center has the lowest average price at $806.
In May, the band will also be stopping off at Oakland's Oracle Arena 0n the 5th, San Jose's HP Pavilion on the 8th, Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena on the 11th, another show at Staples Center on the 20th, Toronto's Air Canada Centre on the 25th, and two more shows at the United Center on the 28th and 31st. On June 6th they will play their second show at the Air Canada Center, then travel to Boston's TD Garden on the 12th, and finish up their North American schedule in Philadelphia on the 18th and 21st at the Wells Fargo Center. Get-in prices for tickets to these shows range from $260 to $635.
After their North American dates, they will cross the pond and perform in their homeland at a headline Glastonbury slot on June 27th and a one-off gig at Hyde Park on July 6th.
The stage design, which has already been confirmed by Mick Jagger, will be based on the group's famous tongue and lips logo and will allow Jagger to venture out into the crowd. He's also mentioned that the set-list will contain 'lots of the classic stuff everyone wants to hear with a few other gems along the way.
Fans with Rolling Stones tickets for last year's 50 & Counting Tour got to hear the majority of their US number ones including "Get Off My Cloud," and "Satisfaction." Also featured were live favorites "Sympathy For The Devil," "It's Only Rock N' Roll (But I Like It)" and "Wild Horses" along with cover versions of Don Nix's "Going Down" The Beatles' "I Wanna Be Your Man" and Chuck Berry's "Around & Around." Needless to say, they still put on a fantastic show and with appearances from the likes of Florence Welch, Lady Gaga, Mary J. Blige, Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer and Eric Clapton, not to mention a reunion with former bassist Bill Wyman, they can also still attract the type of A-list guest stars that most bands half of their age can only dream about. This upcoming tour should be no different.

Who is your favourite canine movie star?
Just a quick question today...who is your favourite canine movie character?
There are heaps to choose from: think of the slobbering Dogue de Bordeaux from Turner and Hooch, the loveable pup in Milo & Otis, and who could forget Lassie.
For me, you can't go past the gorgeous St Bernards in Beethoven. I absolutely loved that series of movies when I was growing up and I was so happy when, last year, we had some St Bernard puppies into our studio for a photo shoot. They were friendly, playful and covered me with slobber.
Who is your favourite movie dog?
I love the little dog that was in the movie "As Good as it Gets" with Jack Nicholson & Helen Hunt, he loved to torment his neighbour Melvin on purpose and then won over Melvin's hard heart in the end.


Strong economic growth, rising interest rates, and low unemployment are beginning to shape the markets in 2018. As we enjoy the benefits of the strong economy, we must also be aware of uncertainty that may lie ahead.
Our economy is stronger now than it has been throughout the past several years of our current bull market. Unemployment is at 4.1%, the lowest it has been since 2000. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is the total value of everything produced in the country, is expected to grow 4% this year. GDP growth was 2.6% in 2015, 3.2% in 2016, and 2.6% in 2017. People are confident in the economy and have positive feelings about spending their hard earned cash. This buying of goods is driving two thirds of our GDP growth with consumer spending reaching $13.6 trillion at the end of 2017, making up to 70% of the U.S Economy. Two thirds of this was spent on durable goods such as housing and health care and the other third was spent on non-durable goods like clothing, food, and appliances. We think this uptick in spending is due to a new wave of educated citizens leaving college and being able to spend money on goods rather than on tuition. We believe we will continue to see a strong consumer driven economy.
Additionally, as the U.S economy continues to strengthen, we should expect to see interest rate hikes. The Federal Reserve raises the Federal Funds Rate to slow down the economy and help it avoid overheating. This is because when interest rates are high, more people will decide to save their money, rather than borrow or spend their earnings. The graph below displays the interest rate trends set by the Fed, GDP growth, and inflation over the past several years.
Source: New York Fed. "A History of Fed Leaders and Interest Rates," The New York Times, December 16, 2015.
While economic growth has been strong, we recently saw a drop in the market, which scares investors. However, we believe this volatility is to be expected. We have been experiencing rapid market growth with historically low levels of volatility over the past 9 years, and now we believe it is time to return to the normal levels of volatility that we have seen throughout history. Volatility is the word that is used to describe unpredictability in the market.
Most investors fear the word volatility, but it is something to be expected and dealt with. We deal with volatility by assuming that it is a part of the market, and is factored into achieving our client's long term financial goals. Whether we are in a strong or weak market, we can see how volatility will be present over time. In the graph below, it shows how the market is continuously volatile, but with a steady upward trend. The upward trend reflects economic growth and the small ups and downs reflect the continuous volatility of the market.
Since volatility has always been present in the modern financial markets, we can look at the patterns of volatility today in comparison to those in the past to identify patterns that tend to repeat throughout history. This analysis of pricing patterns is referred to as Technical Analysis. There are two primary types of analysis used when making investment decisions: Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. Fundamental Analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data from a company's financial statements to determine if the business has a fair stock price. Technical Analysis focuses on the price movement of the investment rather than the possibility of the investment not being at a fair price.
An example of a technical indicator we use is the relationship between the 10-year treasury and the Fed Funds Rate. Historically, when the Fed Funds Rate crosses the lowest 10-year treasury rate of the current market cycle, the risk of recession is significant (69%) with an average lead time of 17 months. The lowest 10 year rate this cycle has been 1.36%, and until March 22nd, the Fed Funds Rate was at 1.25%. However, on March 22nd the Fed increased the Fed Funds Rate to 1.5%. Based on this indicator, a recession becomes more likely in August of 2019. However, it is important to remember that these technical indicators are only guides and not rules that govern the market. That said, we will continue to watch the markets closely and continue to positions our clients' portfolios in line with the level of risk they are comfortable taking. If you are not sure of your personal "Risk Score" and have yet to go through our Riskalyze exercise, we would be happy to help you through the process.
Finally, we want to remind you that your financial plan takes into account not just volatility, but also the full market cycle: expansion, peak, recession, and trough. While the thought of a recession is never bright, history proves that they do happen. On average, we can expect a recession once every 4.5 years. Consequently, a good financial plan assumes this will occur and projects a probability of success with that in mind. As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out!
