I don't understand much about a pre-schooler who makes such hard work of frowning at the camera and drinking in the world around him from a half-empty glass. I feel like there could be an easier way, or at least a different way, one that didn't spend us both up before lunchtime.
I don't know all there is to know about lashing out at the ones you love most, but I do know a little. I know more than I'd like to admit. I know that when a day doesn't fall my way I glare at my husband, standing right there, trying his best to balance the universe for me. I know that when my night is too short, I don't laugh along with my little clowns in the morning, even though I know it would be the best way to send them into their day.
I know other things, too.
I know when this baby arrived with his bowl cut and the saddest eyes, he didn't know how to hold our hand and if we put our arm around him, he'd reach back and pluck it off like a tick.
I know he fought for all the love he lost in the only way a baby can, by refusing, for a very long time, to love us back.
I know the sound of a tiny heart breaking.
I know healing comes with scabs and sometimes it's hard for a child not to pick at them, tear them clean off.
I know God requires a lot of us sometimes, but I don't understand this kind of bravery.
I know that spinning love from loss and weaving a family out of remnants is work more cut out for a pioneer, and I know I've never had the mettle for the hard life.
But little hands can learn to hold on and so can weak hearts.
A mama and her little love can teach each other things while they wage war between everything they lost and this right here.
I still don't understand his fake frown when the shutter clicks, but I'm starting to see it as an inside joke. He tried not to be happy here for such a long time, and maybe it feels silly to conjure up the past once the light has cut through the middle.
Our baby has been in Ohio for a few days, just him and Charles and two of his biggest cheerleaders, his Grandma and Papaw.
But he laughed the whole way there then asked if he could stay for "21 days".
He wanted to sleep in my old bed because it smells like me, but when I called he was usually too busy pretending to be a kitty cat to talk.
He tucked himself into a life he sometimes thinks he was meant for - one where all of the attention is his.
Meanwhile, I missed my friend.
I also got a great many things done in record time and lazed around a bit.
He's not here, and my heart is every bit as fond.
The four of us took a long bike ride last night, longer than he could manage. We ate burritos in relative peace and I didn't miss the drama or the angst.
But I did miss my honey boy.
He cried his eyes out when we called last night, then wiped them dry and got back to his business, but it did my heart good to. All of it.
We've come full circle. We're lapping our old hurts, leaving some of them in the dust.
A break was needed for all of us and memorable for different reasons.
PS - Just got this amazing scarf from fashionABLE, hand-woven in Ethiopia. We had our 2nd Google chat last night and it's almost July, which means I'll be flying before I know it! Screeeeeeeam!!!!! I'm getting so excited for our #blogABLE trip.
PSS - Did I ever tell you about my travel-mates? Can't even wait to do this thing with them. They're so stylish and rad. See for yourself!
thank you for this post. it hit my heart in such a weary spot. battling with hopelessness in our family and i just needed to hear these words. thank you!
thank you for this. amen.
The pic of Siley looking up at his mama showed pure love and adoration! You're doing it just right!
when charles has his back, homeboy has it made. he can look all sorts of tough if he wants. and cute. all at the same time.
I love that smiley Siley picture.
we will have so much to talk about when you get back.
Oooh I love the way you rock that scarf!
Attachment issues...no fun at all. Still praying and hoping our sweet boy of nearly 16 years learns to trust that our love is forever, no matter what.
"I know God requires a lot of us sometimes, but I don't understand this kind of bravery."
best statement of the day of the week and possibly the month.
i love how he adoringly gazes at you.
it is fascinating how kids are wired: my daughter is sunny and cheerful and easy to please. my son... not so much. zacky is like silas, a glass half empty kind of guy. he is prone to be more anxious, considers worst case scenarios, and wants to know every single detail IN ADVANCE. i wonder if and when God might change that in him. i am glad your siley was (for the most part) enjoying his time away.
you look gorgeous with your scarf. as it happens, i have been needing to buy my bff a gift, so this product is being touted at a perfect time. i got her the meseret and was highly tempted to get your genet for myself. it's beautiful.
Thank you for the post and for the Silas Day 1 post. It is as if you are blogging about my life and are so wonderfully putting my feelings to words.
Love your scarf, CANNOT wait for your trip!!! Ahhh ... did you know my design was the runner up for this one? So close to seeing it come to life /// http://www.designmom.com/2013/03/scarves-by-fashionable-vote/ mine was the one on the bottom right. Love the version that one too, but you know that feeling ... so close ...! At least I saw a picture of Karen Walron wearing it at Alt! I was there ... but missed that part somehow (smacks forehead) and never got to see it in person.
Anyway, you know how I feel about you and your littles. That goes without saying. Much love, much love.
I had no idea! LOVE your design! Truly, beautiful!
That picture needs a frame pronto!
So happy you have each other.
Can't wait to hear more about YOUR TRIP!!!!
SO cute. Both of you. How can you even handle his smootchability factor?!?
I love FashionAble, started by young dynamic couple from my church. Was working in a shop where I could promote their sales, but no longer have that job. You are doing such a good job as a loving mom, and walking in faith!
So excited to hear about your upcoming trip to Ethiopia. I visited there in 2011 and had hoped to visit fashionABLE but couldn't fit it in. I'm jealous! Just wanted to recommend that you visit the Addis Abba Fistula hospital and ALERT hospital for TB and Leprosy. The fistula hospital gives tours. There is a lovely documentary called A Walk to Beautiful that you can watch online. I highly recommend doing so before you leave for Africa. The ALERT hospital has a great shop onsite with handicrafts made by the patients. One of my favorite experiences was sitting in a metal outdoor room and having the patients teach me how to spin wool and crotchet. It was soul changing.

BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SOCCER
Soccer Fundamentals
Because soccer is a worldwide sport, it has a lexicon that may be unfamiliar to American fans and players. Why do the British refer to outfits as "kits" and cleats as "boots"? What is a 4-4-2 formation and how does it work? Why are people so concerned about being relegated? To give you a guide to understanding soccer, we'll cover all of those terminology as simply as possible. The first one is the simplest. To avoid misunderstanding, it is not commonly referred to as football in this country. Soccer, rugby, and American football are all derivatives of the same sport. They're instructions on how to play the game. Prior to the 1970s, even the national governing body of soccer in this country had the word "football" in its official name, whereas "soccer" was the prevalent term in England. Soccer lingo
It's worth thinking about if you want to gain a quick handle on how the game is played. A few fundamentals. To begin with, unlike other sports where the regulations alter seasonally, soccer has a highly conservative set of rules. The Laws are the game's laws, and only a gathering of representatives from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland can change them. As a result, modifications are uncommon and the regulations are simple. FIFA has a copy of the Laws of the Game available. What exactly is FIFA? The World Cup is organised by FIFA, the worldwide soccer regulatory organisation. What is the World Cup, exactly? This is soccer's biggest competition, with 32 national teams qualifying by region. We'll get into the details later. Let us now proceed to the field.
The Football Field
There are no predetermined field dimensions, similar to baseball. Soccer, on the other hand, employs minimum and maximum dimensions, allowing fields to fit inside specified parameters. The length should be between 100 and 130 yards, and the breadth should be between 50 and 100 yards. Because of this significant variance, international games have stricter rules. These top-tier games require fields that are between 110 and 120 yards long and 70 to 80 yards broad. The goal (8 feet high by 8 yards wide), the six-yard box immediately in front of the goal, and the 18-yard box must all be the same size, regardless of the overall size.
Fortunately, most NFL and college football stadiums in the United States can accommodate a regulation soccer pitch that meets international standards. Some can't, because modern NFL stadiums aren't designed for soccer. Why? Hosting soccer games in NFL stadiums is extremely profitable. Finally, the field is referred to as the 'pitch' in soccer lingo.
The Timepiece
The game lasts 90 minutes plus stoppage time at the highest level. There are two 45-minute halves, each ending after stoppage time. When does the game come to a halt? Because the clock in soccer does not stop, the referee puts time back at the end of each half to compensate for breaks in play. The referee gives an estimate of how much time will be added, but it isn't exact. A 90-minute game will usually take 94 minutes or longer, depending on the referee's discretion. Players in soccer compete until the referee blows the whistle.
The Arbiter
On the field, there is usually only one referee who controls the whistle and the cards. Cards? Cards, to be precise. The referee in soccer administers punishment by raising a yellow or red card. A yellow card is given to a player who has broken the rules. The referee can issue a red card if the incident is significant. That implies the player must retire from the game permanently, with his team unable to replace him. This is known as 'playing a man down,' because it implies the team only has 10 players instead of 11. Two yellow cards for the same player equates to a red card and a dismissal. A team must have at least 7 players on the pitch to play. If a foul occurs inside the 18-yard box, the referee has the option of awarding a penalty. That means the fouled side gets to kick the goalkeeper directly from the penalty spot, which is 12 yards from the goal line.
Soccer balls are available in a variety of sizes. A young player might start with a size 3, progressing to a size 4 as she or he grows bigger, and finally to the adult size 5 ball. Balls used to be made of leather and have laces. They weren't waterproof. Imagine kicking that around on a muddy field. Modern soccer balls are mostly constructed of plastic and are remarkably light.

We wanted to feature this Chinese spinach amaranth vegetable on the blog today, because it's popping up all over the market, and it's really just a gorgeous, healthy green that you should try if you haven't already! It's called "amaranth", "amaranth greens" or sometimes "Chinese spinach," and comes in both green and purplish-pink colors. The flavor of the two varieties is largely the same, but the pink veggies lend a bit of drama to the dinner table. Find it at your local Asian grocery store.
Just cook with a little garlic, oil and salt. You can also try the method we use in this stir-fried snow pea leaves recipe, or you can go the fermented tofu route we used in this water spinach recipe.
But like many of the leafy greens eaten across Asia, most don't need more embellishment than salt and garlic. Look for young, tender leaves with thin stems. Don't pick any with flowers, since these are older, tougher vegetables that should generally be avoided.
Heat the wok until smoking. Add the oil and swirl it around. Quickly add the garlic and the veggies and stir constantly. After a minute, add salt, sugar and sesame oil stir until just wilted.
Be liberal with your salt to really bring out the flavor of the greens and add some sugar to balance the saltiness. This should get you fairly close to restaurant quality without adding any MSG.
Pile the vegetables up in a small mound at the center of the wok. This allows the sides to heat up (the higher the heat, the better they'll taste!). Put the lid on the wok and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove the lid, stir briefly, and serve!
Stir fried Chinese Spinach amaranth greens in garlic and oil is the best way to enjoy this healthy vegetable!
Heat the wok until smoking. Add the oil and swirl it around. Quickly add the garlic and the veggies and stir constantly.
After a minute, add salt, sugar and sesame oil stir until just wilted.

Music Review Singing it like it is
Video of Steve Earle & The Dukes "Walkin' In LA" // SiriusXM // Outlaw Country
Steve Earle and The Dukes
Barbican Hall
Silk Street
At 63 Steve Earle is still an irresistible force of nature and at the Barbican hits the stage running, assisted by the intuitively symbiotic Dukes, at this last assignment this side of the pond.
Looking like a Herculean Hell's Angel, Earle's gruff, craggy voice is tonight melodious and expressive — forceful and explosive one minute and tender and mellow the next. Although Waylon Jennings is his declared influence, and the similarities are many, Earl's been able to breathe new life into the largely diminished legacy of progressive country music that ended with the Highwaymen.
Much of it stems from his passionate embrace of the vigour and uptempos of rock with blazing guitar work from himself and Chris Masterson anchored masterfully by bassist extraordinaire Kelly Looney and intelligent drumming from Brad Pemberton, while Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle and Ricky Jay Jackson on pedal steel guitar put in the engrossing subtle colouring phrases that cement impressively this "wall of sound."
It is, however, Earle's novelesque lyrics that are the essence of his conversation with the audience. Often painfully raw, confessionary elsewhere, honest in every observation, they make him trustworthy — a man of his word who wears his heart on his sleeve.
The unexpected nostalgic rendition of Johnny Come Lately — first recorded with the Pogues in north London in 1988 — elicits loud cheers as will later a meaty and dense Earlesque Hey Joe unexpectedly concluding that he Earle needs to go "way down south, way down Mexico way … before that asshole builds his wall."
In between take your pick from I Ain't Ever Satisfied, I'm Still in Love with You, You're the Best Lover I Ever Had, News From Colorado, Walkin' in LA, Sunset Highway, Goodbye Michelangelo — a tribute to Guy Clark — Fixin' to Die or The Firebreak Line, movingly dedicated to the four firefighters killed so far in California's continuing wild fires.
The energy emanating from the set is infectious as Earle dispenses with small talk and song follows song before there is any time for appreciative whistling, applause or shouting.
Finally, the band leave him alone on stage where, while strumming his acoustic guitar, he shares political comments and lets all in on his plan to write and record his next album aimed at Trump supporters not his opponents.
He sees Trump voters as people like him, with whom he wants to start a respectful political dialogue. Not invective but conversation.
Earle affirms he's a "hard core socialist" and believes his "involvement in politics is about the way the world should be, not the way the world is." His dialectical approach makes him into a natural and potentially effective political agitator — one with a massive audience already.
Upon returning to the States Earle will be joining, later this year, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, Lila Downs and Graham Nash on the Lantern Tour "to stand with families seeking safety at our [US] border." The proceeds of the tour will go to the Women's Refugee Commission.
He departed to a fully deserved standing ovation.

My wife cries daily – Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe
By Our Reporter
President Robert Mugabe with wife Grace Mugabe
Former Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe says his wife cries daily, a newspaper reported on Friday.
Mugabe reportedly said the Mnangagwa-led administration is 'persecuting' former First Lady Grace Mugabe.
The former leader was ousted three months ago after he was forced to step down following a military takeover.
According to Zimbabwe Independent, Mugabe told the African Union's Moussa Faki Mahamat during a courtesy call he made to the Mugabes' Harare mansion this week that he doesn't feel safe.
"They told you I was safe, but how can I be in this environment?," Mugabe reportedly told Faki.
"My wife is crying daily. They are persecuting her… What am I without my wife and family? We are not safe. We have constitutional benefits, for example, but these are being denied" the Zimbabwe Independent quoted Mugabe as saying, citing "detailed notes" supplied by officials who attended the meeting.
"It's not like I am crying for those benefits. I joined the struggle to fight to free my people, not to personally benefit anything, but why deny me benefits that I am constitutionally entitled to?" Mugabe asked.
"Why are they harassing people? Some of them are overzealous. How do you arrest a whole university vice-chancellor over lies about a PhD? Some of these people are just idiots; they are ignoramuses."
University of Zimbabwe vice-chancellor Levy Nyagura was last week arrested for alleged abuse of office after being accused of facilitating the awarding of a fake PhD degree to Grace.
Mugabe said before doing her PhD, Grace studied Chinese and got a degree.
"It wasn't easy," he said. "She then continued with her studies and ended up doing a PhD. I used to see her here working hard day and night. I would assist her here and there, so how can someone wake up and claim she didn't work for it? This is harassment," said Mugabe.

Q: how to use custom layout code when auto layout enabled Here is the situation, I build most of my interface in interface builder with auto layout, but there is a subview that is so complicated, that i would rather to layout it with custom code, I find in the documentation that I can override layoutSubviews() to implement my custom code
"Subclasses can override this method as needed to perform more precise layout of their subviews. You should override this method only if the autoresizing and constraint-based behaviors of the subviews do not offer the behavior you want. You can use your implementation to set the frame rectangles of your subviews directly."
but I find that when I set the frame of the subviews, it just don't have any effects, I think there is something wrong with the interaction of auto layout system.But can anyone tell me where is wrong?

A: When you enable autolayout, any code you write to set frames are ignored by the iOS system.
This is how I normally build my UI these days:
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
    [self initViews];
    [self initConstraints];
}

-(void)initViews
{
    // --------------------------------------------
    // The default init method calls initWithFrame:
    // method and passes it a CGRectZero
    // --------------------------------------------
    self.textLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
    self.textLabel.text = @"Hello World!";

    [self.view addSubview:self.textLabel];
}

-(void)initConstraints
{
    // this line will cause any setFrame: calls to be ignored
    self.textLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;

    id views = @{
                   @"textLabel": self.textLabel
               };

    // horizontal constraint
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|[textLabel]|" options:0 metrics:nil views:views]];

    // vertical constraint
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:|[textLabel]|" options:0 metrics:nil views:views]];
}

If you need to change the position of the textLabel for example, you would need to instead declare a NSLayoutConstraint property in your class:
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSLayoutConstraint *textLabelTopConstraint;

Then modify your constraint code to something like this:
-(void)initConstraints
{
    self.textLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;

    id views = @{
                   @"textLabel": self.textLabel
               };

    // horizontal constraint
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|[textLabel]|" options:0 metrics:nil views:views]];

    // vertical constraint

    // --------------------------------------------
    // Note the constant value, you'll update this
    // later and tell the UI to relayout.
    // --------------------------------------------
    self.textLabelTopConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.textLabel attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.view attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop multiplier:1.0 constant:0.0]];

    // note theres no 's' after addConstraint
    [self.view addConstraint:self.textLabelTopConstraint];

}

When you tap a button and want to change the textLabel's top position:
-(void)buttonTappedMethod
{
    // tell textLabel it should be offset 50 pixels from the top
    self.textLabelTopConstraint.constant = 50;

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------
    // wrap the layout command inside a UIView animation block to
    // see the textLabel animate down rather than instantly appear there
    // --------------------------------------------------------------------
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{

        [self.view layoutIfNeeded];

    }];
}

Yesterday I wrote how to outfit your boat for trolling for trout if you have a lot of money to spend. But how about if you're on a budget? Here's some budget solutions to rig your boat for monster trout trolling.
Electric downriggers allow you to fish as deep as you like, but manual downriggers are a lot cheaper. Costing about one-third of the price, they allow you to get to the same depth provided you don't mind a little exercise along the way. Check out www.scotty.com for their line of manual downriggers ranging from $150 for the full-sized ones, and as little as $70 for the laketroller variety.
There's an even cheaper way to get down deep, and that's by using a variety of trolling weights. Mooching weights come in every size to get you down as deep as you like and only cost a few bucks each. An angler looking at getting into trolling for trout would do well to pick up a variety of these weights between 1 and 6 ounces to get you between 5 and 50 feet deep.
While planer boards can cost $100 each, there's a cheaper way to get your line to cover more water. Yellow Bird side planers retail for about $20 each and can carry your line up to 150 feet out either side of the boat. Check out their website at www.yellowbirdproducts.com for more info.
Step One: Take both pieces of plywood and use a drill to make two holes in each board. The holes should be on an imaginary along the equator of the board and one foot apart. The back hole should start 6 inches from the back of the board.
Step Two: Take a skill saw and cut a 45 degree angle along the front of each board. The top view of each board should look like the boards on step 2. Thread two nuts on each rod so they are 14 inches apart and place a washer on the outside of each. Then place both boards on the rods against the washers.
Step Three: Place washers and nuts on the rods on the outside of the boards so each one is locked in place. Then screw your eyed screw into the inside board just behind the front rod. Now your board is ready to go!
The board in step 3 is rigged to fish off the left side of the boat. Use 150 pound braided line on your planer board to get the best performance and Scotty 1043 or 1048 planer board releases to attach your fishing line to the planer line.
That's it. Now you're set to catch more fish by increasing your vertical and horizontal fishing space. Now let's see those monster trout!

At a time when populists and nationalists around the world are challenging the legitimacy of leading multilateral institutions, the World Bank Group must select a new president. The preferred candidate should be someone who will double down on the Bank's mission of helping developing countries address urgent challenges.
ITHACA/WASHINGTON, DC – Jim Yong Kim's sudden resignation as president of the World Bank Group (WBG) offers an opportunity to reflect on the direction, legitimacy, and effectiveness of that 75-year old institution. Like other multilateral institutions, the Bank in recent years has been criticized for its elitism and for championing outmoded models of economic globalization that have failed to deliver broad-based benefits. It has also become another staging ground for the geopolitical great-power rivalry between the United States and China.

On A Magical Mystery Tour With Hassan Hakmoun When some urban explorers invited the musical adventurers of a Moroccan-inspired band along on a mysterious road trip, we just had to come along. We wound up at an abandoned mine in upstate New York.
Out of the concert hall and off the beaten path
On A Magical Mystery Tour With Hassan Hakmoun

When we plan Field Recordings, we usually look far and wide to find off-the-beaten-path locations for filming musicians. But a unique opportunity presented itself when a duo called Wanderlust Projects — designers of "transgressive placemaking experiences" for urban explorers, usually in abandoned or otherwise off-limits places — invited us to come along on an adventure.
Wanderlust invited a crew of intrepid New Yorkers to accompany the fabulous Moroccan musician Hassan Hakmoun and his band on a mysterious day trip. So we piled into a van with the musicians, and off we all went to points unknown. After a long morning being driven to our secret destination — with no one but the organizers knowing where we were heading — we arrived upstate at the stunning Widow Jane Mine.
Along with providing spectacular visuals, the mine proved to be an oddly fitting location for Hakmoun and his musicians. The Widow Jane is a limestone mine that once supplied cement for such landmarks as the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and the U.S. Capitol. Hakmoun's music has found its fullest flower in New York with a highly transnational lineup of nomads. Percussionist Chikako Iwahori is originally from Japan; guitarist Raja Kassis hails from Beirut; flutist Bailo Bah comes from Guinea; and drummer Harvey Wirht is from Suriname. Naturally, they all congregated in New York.
At the same time, Hakmoun's music is very much rooted in his homeland. Born in Marrakesh, he is from the Gnawa community, whose ancestors were brought from West Africa to North Africa as slaves in the 15th and 16th centuries. Gnawan music and dance, which are central to their spiritual tradition, fuse Muslim mysticism with sub-Saharan traditions in rituals meant to heal the body and lift the soul. But Hakmoun uses these ancient raw materials to shape something modern and new — just as craftsmen transformed the minerals from the Widow Jane Mine.

Q: calling a new() function from another class I've made two windows forms and imported the class of one into the other. The trouble I'm having is calling the New() method in the imported class to pass the parameters to the class methods in the imported class. Here's the basic code I use in the main class. I use Visual Studio 2017, and it's not recognizing the New() method in the imported class when I call it. Perhaps someone may be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Private Sub Backup_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    LstBxPlanBackup.SelectedIndex = -1
    GetPlans()
    New(LstBoxBaseBackup.SelectedIndex, "", ..\watcher.txt, Backup, Watcher.Prompt)
End Sub

A:
Sub New() is a Form's constructor (where you usually find InitializeComponent()). Dim ANewForm as MyFormClass = new MyFormClass(LstBoxBaseBackup.SelectedIndex, "", "..\watcher.txt", Backup, Watcher.Prompt). MyFormClass must have a constructor that acceps those parameters. I think you shoud define that Form in a separate class. It's easier to handle.

I think your response there was the answer to question. It may be worth noting, though, for those like me that are new to programming that it's possible to define a class within a class, and one doesn't have to make a separate form to define a class and use it. Your suggested statement solves the problem of how to pass the new information to the required class. Thanks!


Data is being collected in droves, but most of the time, people don't know what to do with it. That's why data scientists are hot commodities in the startup world right now. In fact, between 2003 and 2013, employment in data industries grew about 21 percent -- nearly 16 percent more than overall employment growth. It's a fairly new concept, but these people are so valuable because they understand the significance of data for your business and how you can use it.
Using analytics, firms can discover patterns and stories in data, build the infrastructure needed to properly collect and store it, inform business decisions and guide strategy. Access to sufficient and robust data is vital to sustained startup growth.
Companies need to incorporate data science into their business models as early as possible while they're taking risks and making crucial decisions about the future. But how do you know whether your company is ready to go the extra mile and hire a data scientist?
First, you need to make sure you can afford to hire one. On average, a single data scientist costs a company $100,000 annually. A team of data engineers, machine learning experts and modelers can cost millions.
Smaller companies may need to create software solutions and invest time in building revenue to ensure they can actually utilize a data scientist's skills. Tools such as Tableau, Qlik and Google Charts can help you plot and visualize the results of your data collection, connect this information to dashboards and quickly glean actionable insights.
All the data in the world won't illuminate much if the scientist analyzing it doesn't possess practical IT skills, experience with the tools mentioned above and a thorough understanding of basic security practices. A solid background in mathematics and statistics is also an indispensable trait; this demonstrates an intellectual rigor and the ability to confidently synthesize and massage many types of data sets.
Related: Want Big Data to Help Your Marketing Team? Hire a Data Scientist.
Armed with a thorough understanding of the pressures inherent to certain industries, skilled data scientists can effectively enlighten the decision-making process. To this end, interview recruits about how they view the competitive climate at the moment.
A good way to guarantee you hire the best data scientist for your needs is to ask each contender to develop a sample presentation based on a specific set of data you provide. Then, pursue the candidates who convey real vision, robust understanding and deep insight.
Data scientists energize enterprise through discovery. Natural curiosity and enthusiasm for solving big problems coupled with an ability to transform data into a product may place one candidate above the rest.
Just as successful startup teams depend on across-the-board versatility, data scientists must be agile enough to quickly modify their methods to suit changes within a particular industry.
You want this person to beat you to the punch when it comes to anticipating questions that data could answer. Look for someone who has a keen sense for future data applications.
Insight that can't be expressed is worthless. Good data scientists are able to uncover data patterns and are willing to explain those patterns in clear and helpful ways through thoughtful and open communication. They should know how to present visualizations of data and tell a story through numbers.

Claim: Seeing The Same Stars All Year Disproves Globe Earth
Thread starter Z.W. Wolf
Z.W. Wolf
A frequent claim you'll run across is that the constancy of the stars in our night sky is inconsistent with the Globe Earth Model. I'm not going into issues of distances, parallax, precession or proper motions of stars in this thread. I'm going to concentrate on two interwoven issues:
- A poor understanding of the geometry of seasonal constellations. Poorly drawn illustrations.
- The remarkable and alarming claim that there is no change whatsoever in our night sky during the year.
The common Globe Head reply to this later claim is that the circumpolar stars are visible all year and this has led to confusion. The common reply from FE Believers is that there is no change at all in any part of the sky. One has to suspect that many FE Believers are either making that up on an ad hoc basis, or simply repeating comments made by other FE Believers. Not easy to prove. Another problem is very casual and poor observation. And this poor observation is recklessly raised to the status of absolute truth.
I should add a note of caution to well meaning Globe Heads. The circumpolar stars are a little trickier than you might think. I'll talk about that later.
With this in mind I'm going to talk about a well known FEB who has made poor, casual observations of the southern sky. He concludes that there is no change in the southern sky. This is something amenable to debunking.
Well known FEB "Phuket Word" lives in Thailand. Yes, Thailand is in the Northern Hemisphere. Phuket Word's home is somewhere near 7.5 degrees north latitude, and Polaris is visible to him. So, one might suspect that in his YT video called Flat Earth: Seeing The Same Stars Every Night he is going to show us northern circumpolar stars. But he doesn't. He shows us stars on his southern horizon, in a constellation that lies on the plane of the ecliptic. Stars in constellations that definitely show seasonal changes and are not visible at all for many months. He then claims that he has video proof that these stars are visible all year; and this is devastating proof that the Spinning Globe Earth Model cannot be true.
So what's going on?
He has videos from three different months: Sept of 2106 (with no specific day identified), April 25, 2017, and July 28, 2017. All were taken from his own garden - (that's "yard" to us Yanks). This one is from April 25.
I've boosted the white point here to make the stars more visible. He does not identify which direction he's facing or the name of any stars or constellations. (It's clear that he doesn't know their names.) Fortunately these are very familiar and distinct constellations - Sagittarius and Scorpius. I've outlined the teapot asterism of Sagittarius. Scorpius is a bit less distinct, with some missing stars due to relative dimness, seeing, and the quirks of the camera:
(What I've labeled "Antares" may be Alniyat II, with Antares just out of frame.)
Here's the Stellarium view set to his location in Phuket, Thailand:
The best match is about 1:30 a.m. local time. There is no DST issue. Thailand has never used DST. Because it's past midnight there could be confusion about whether it's actually the morning of April 26.
A reminder of what these constellations look like:
This is the video taken on July 28, 2017:
The Stellarium view for that location and time:
A wider shot that includes Saturn and Antares:
Just wanted to include that to support my conclusion that the best match is about 8:00 p.m. local time. That's five and a half hours earlier than in the April video. The rule of thumb is that stars rise about 4 minutes earlier each day. This video is 94 days later, which means you'd expect that the stars would be in the same spot about 6 hours earlier. Checks out.
That's important because PW emphasizes several times that these stars are in about the same part of the sky at about the same time of night. He is aware that stars move across the sky over the course of the night and it's important to match time and position.
I'm standing in the same spot in my garden that I was about three months ago, looking at the same stars in the same position in the sky at about the same time.
They are in about the same position, but they are not in the same position at the same time.
This next video from September, 2016 was a real challenge. It took awhile to get a good match, but I'm pretty confident I did. Once again the white point on these shots has been boosted to make the stars stand out. In the video these stars are blinking in and out because of the clouds and the light in the sky from the nearby Moon, seeing, and camera quirks. I found two different shots that together reveal enough information to get a match in Stellarium.
The glow in the sky is from the Moon. Earlier PW panned up and to our left to show the Moon. That's an important clue as to what day this was.
Another important clue. In this frame is a fleeting image of what I think is the star Garafsa. Because Mars is wandering day by day past the stars in this part of the sky, there's only one day that it was next to Garafsa. The same night that the Moon was in the right part of the sky.
Saturn and Antares are hidden by the tree. Everything points to about 9:15 p.m. local time on September 13, 2016.
At 1:50 in the video, as he is showing the Sept video:
I just wanted to show that this is something really quite impossible on the spinning ball Earth. Above the rooftop there we have the same stars that we always see, going the same direction [he's aware that stars move across the sky during the course of the night], in the same place in the sky, every single night, every night of the year. It never changes. It's always the same.
But these stars are not in the same part of the sky. He is clearly in another part of the yard with different trees, the stars are over another part of the roof. Sagittarius and Scorpius are in different positions, with Scorpius on its side and the teapot of Sagittarius pouring tea on the scorpion's tail. They are setting in the western sky, whereas in July and April they were high in the southern sky. Yet it is earlier in the evening than it was in April. They are both much too far west.
PW believes he has almost the entire year covered: September to July - ten months. These stars were visible for ten months, he thinks. But this is a mistake. The time frame is actually April to Sept. It doesn't matter that it is a Sept. of a previous year. The stars are in the same position on Sept 13, 2016 and Sept 13, 2017. What is important is that Scorpius is about to disappear from the night sky in October; not to be seen again for many months.
This video shows what happens to these constellations from April to November in the southern sky of Thailand, just as PW would see them. The time is always 10:00 p.m. local time. It's the months that are going by one by one. The video starts with Scorpius just peeking over the Eastern horizon at 10:00 p.m. on April 25 - the day PW shot his April video. By Sept 25, Scorpius is setting in the West. Sagittarius is setting by Oct. 25 and nowhere in sight in November.
A reminder of what they look like.
This video shows where these constellations are in the southern sky of Thailand all year long. The time is set for 7:00 p.m. local time. About sunset. On May 25, Scorpius is just rising in the East. By October it's setting in the West. By November it's nowhere to be seen. Where is it? Well Scorpius is still there, but it's up during the daytime and can't be seen. Around Nov 22 it's behind the Sun. If you're born at that time, you're a Scorpio. That's what astrology is all about. (Although the 2,200 year old astrology dates have drifted away from present day astronomy dates. Due to precession! I said I wasn't going to talk about precession.)
Stay tuned. More to come. Same Bat Channel.
This is a good example of where you can just use Stellarium rather than going outside, or going to Thailand. We know that Stellarium has a 100% accuracy record in predicting where a given star will be at a given time. So you can (and should) use Stellarium (or any other piece of sky viewing software) to get an idea of what to expect.
If you use Stellarium to look south from Phuket at 8PM every day for a year, you see the constellations rotate around the southern celestial pole. Hence that supports the globe model. Here I made a 2 year video.
Source: https://youtu.be/Ck_0mN_3fMs
PW should be encouraged to be more precise in his observations, and also to constantly check against Stellarium. Because Stellarium is based on the globe model, and so the only way to disprove this model would be to show how Stellarium differs from reality. And since it matches reality, then you've got to come up with some other model that is both based on a non-globe model and matches the globe model.
Personally, I've been paying more attention to the constellations since I moved to a darker location. I enjoy watching the constellations rotate through the year (the Precession of the Equinoxes.) It's great for getting a sense of what's going on with the Earth, the Sun, and the Stars - but it does require a bit of thought.
An easy project just now in January: Find either Sagittarius or Scorpius in the night sky. Any FEB in any part of the Earth can participate.
I'm in favor of anyone becoming more familiar with the night sky. When the stars become familiar friends and you understand how they move, you gain understanding.
It's an astonishing kind of claim really. Anyone with even a passing familiarity with the night sky has to be aware of how the constellations change with the seasons. One of the most obvious examples (at least from my fairly northerly latitude) is Orion. It's probably the most recognisable shape in the night sky in the winter months, and yet totally invisible in the summer, because it is only above the horizon during the day at that time of year.

Yes, before I got more familiar with the constellations I used to think "Where is Orion???"
And in the north, a very obvious constellation (or part of one) is the big dipper, which is visible year round. If you look at that at 10 PM in January and July it has flipped over.
And this works consistently all over the celestial sphere.
Of course, the challenge is partly about explaining what the celestial sphere actually is. Some people seem to find the idea of very large distances, effectively infinitely far away, to be implausible
It's an astonishing kind of claim really.
Although I think it's also kind of hopeful, as if someone is really taking the time to study the stars, then they should eventually figure it out.
Mick West said:
The big dipper is not visible year round in areas close to the northern arctic circle. A better time is March and September.
Raymond said:
The big dipper is not visible year round in areas close to the northern arctic circle.
It does not go below the horizon though. You mean it's just too bright to see stars?
Yes. I can not see the stars in the summer.
For the last 3 months I've been archiving daily time lapse videos of all sky cameras for the iTelescope.net network of observatories. About 3 months ago, Orion didn't rise until about midnight local time at the Siding Spring observatory:
Right now Orion is visible pretty much throughout the night:
In about another 6 months, Orion will not be visible at all in the nightly time lapse. With a little work I bet you could even derive a decent figure for the length of the sidereal day by comparing these videos.

It is not widely known, but many stars can be observed in daylight with a good telescope if the observer knows their exact location. I remember reading this in an astronomy book by Sir John Herschel, and could probably dig out the reference if needed. (5 minutes later...found it): Herschel, Outlines of Astronomy, 2nd edn., 1849, page 44:
The stars actually continue visible through telescopes in the daytime; and, in proportion to the power of the instrument, not only the largest and brightest among them, but even those of inferior lustre, such as scarcely strike the eye at night as at all conspicuous, are readily found and followed even at noonday, - unless in that part of the sky which is very near the sun - , by those who possess the means of pointing a telescope accurately to the proper places.
I once saw Jupiter naked eye near the meridian in late afternoon. Funny thing is that I wasn't even looking for it. I was just looking up at the sky in general and it caught my attention. I didn't even realize what it was for awhile.
PW has posted a new YT video claiming the same thing.
It's probably about 4 o'clock in the morning; here looking at the night sky. And this is one of the fundamental proofs that we're not on a globe orbiting the Sun. ...every night throughout the year I see the same stars. This would be impossible. Totally impossible if we were on a ball that's orbiting the Sun.
In the previous video he was looking at the constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpius. In that video, he concentrates on, and zooms his camera in on, the stars Shaula and Lesath in Scorpius; demonstrating a point I won't go into. Shaula and Lesath are also known as the Cat's Eyes, because they are bright and close together. They draw attention.
Once again he's looking at the southern sky. This time he has videod the constellations of Crux, Centaurus and Lupus.
Just now Scorpius rises in the early hours and perhaps he has spotted the stars Shaula and Lesath again. Oddly Scorpius isn't visible here because it's hidden by the trees on our left. Perhaps he doesn't realize Shaula and Lesath are hidden by the trees and is looking instead at two other bright stars: Hadar and Rigel Kentaurus (not to be confused with Rigel). It's clear that he doesn't recognize constellations or know the names of the stars he's looking at, so there's room for confusion.
Scorpius was invisible during November and December and just became visible again in mid-January; rising in the east just before dawn. PW doesn't seem to know this. Sloppy observing at best.
But he seems to be convinced that because he's seeing these stars again they are always visible in the night sky; even though he's seeing them rise early in the morning now, and he saw them setting in the west at 9:00 p.m. in September of 2016.
Or... perhaps he's been looking at Hadar and Rigel Kentaurus for weeks, and has never noticed Shaula and Lesath. The more I think about that the more I'm convinced this might be so. He doesn't recognize constellations or know the names of the stars. Hadar and Rigel Kentaurus are just now above his roof in about the same spot that Shaula and Lesath were in the first video, and they look similar. Although Shaula and Lesath are closer together, his memories of them are old, and he's working on wishful (and sloppy) thinking.
In that case he is not looking at the same stars.
PW makes another remarkable claim:
I see Venus every night just after sunset, and every morning before sunrise. And, again, if we're doing these crazy orbits around the Sun, there should be a difference.
Venus just now is the morning star, and Mercury is the evening star. He hasn't checked. And doesn't notice that Venus is far brighter than Mercury.
Stellarium view:
Somebody should make a video of your analysis and post it to YouTube.
Anyone who wants to put in the work; please go ahead.
Z.W. Wolf said:
They are in about the same position, but they are not in the same position at the same time.
So basically you're saying that he's lying/forgetting?
Are there any prominent stars that he won't be able to see now, but will be able to see in a few weeks? Perhaps we could devise an observation for him.
Rory said:
He can see all of the stars now, it depends on the time of the observation and whether he can see the horizon, though, as when they set early in the night or rise late, they may be obstructed. He can see the same stars all year, put general like that, his claim is not wrong. Well, it is kinda hard to see the stars "behind" the sun. Use these. They should be visible in the morning in a few weeks.
Mendel said:
Well, it is kinda hard to see the stars "behind" the sun. Use these. They should be visible in the morning in a few weeks.
Exactly. Which prominent stars rise and set during daylight hours?
Or maybe better would be to identify some that will rise and set with the sun in a week or two: that way he can spot them now, and then won't be able to find them later on. I suppose that would be some that are right now setting around sunset.
How about Achernar? This time of year it's visible after sunset till around 8.30pm in Phuket, and in a week it will be setting half an hour earlier. By March 20th it won't be visible at night.
Magnitude is 0.45 (reduced to about 1.2 due to airmasses).
There are two typos in my latest star photo. Maybe I should fix that.
-Gamma Lupi
-Kappa Centauri
There... fixed.
Could you have another look at this one? I made it more like 9pm but I certainly bow to your knowledge on this.

I've been buying a lot of iced tea lately—stopping by some of the numerous fast food chains to satisfy my curiosity: is it really fast-fast-fast at Jimmy John's? Do they really want me to have a refreshing experience at Burger King?
Sometimes I went to drive-thrus and sometimes walked into the stores for service at the counter. For the most part, my experience was the same.
The workers were nice enough, but I could have transplanted them to any other fast food joint anywhere and the exchange would have been nearly identical. I think that's a missed opportunity to differentiate the brand—to make it something special and buzz-worthy.
What if Jimmy John's provided a really fast, fun experience to match their radio spots? Would it be great, or would it stress you out? What if they had tips on how to speed read their menu? What if they had a stop watch at the counter so you could time your wait? What if they hired aspiring actors and comics as servers and had them talk really fast...I think it would be hilarous. Entertaining. And it certainly would make their brand authentic on the inside—not just the outside.
Or what if the people at Chipotle Mexican Grill really did talk about their healthy, organic ingredients like the signage in the stores? What if they knew where those local veggies really came from and could tell you so? What if they had buttons on their uniforms with photos of the local farmers who provided the ingredients? What if they really could suggest to you a bunch of different combinations (since their cup says ther are "60-some THOUSAND"? It might be fun—and it would differentiate them from eveyone else. Once again, it would make for a brand that's embraced and enjoyed by staffers and customers. And isn't that what it's really about?
