This is a developing story. More information will be added as the story updates.


It is my pleasure to write concerning the work that the Lord is doing in the Latin American world at this present time, including the sanctifying work that He is doing within me personally as well as my family. We have been stretched in ways that we could not have imagined in recent days, of which I will not go into the details on at this time, but we have confidence and trust in the Lord's faithfulness in that which He has called us.
On the heels of serving with a large, short-term missionary team in December, Jill, Israel, and I are getting back to what daily life is for us in Central America, which by the way, is certainly never completely predictable. "Flexibility" is a necessary term to keep in mind when considering the nature of life on the foreign mission field, and our life has been no exception.
It is our aim not to separate the very apparent physical need of humanitarian aid from the spiritual need of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for eternal salvation. These two needs are neither mutually exclusive nor conditional. And, I would submit that one is not providing the fullest scope of humanitarian aid if they neglect to share that which will give people life beyond this present world. The cruelest thing I can imagine would be for anyone who has specific life-saving knowledge to then neglect to share that information with the one who would die without it.
For the past month, we have come alongside the S.O.S. (Seekers of Souls) leadership of the existing church where we are serving, as well as begun the groundwork for an additional bible-centered fellowship in another village that has been plagued with violence.
Jill's parents surprised us recently with an impromptu visit for a few days. It was great to have them with us and get to show them the work the Lord is doing here. Israel just turned 10 months and now enjoys eating fruits and veggies. Some of his favorites are bananas and avocados. He weighs a whopping 23 pounds and is cruising everywhere! We've had to baby proof our house, adding cabinet locks and outlet covers that "Grandma C" (my mom) sent down. Israel definitely enjoyed all the attention when Grandma and Grandpa Duggar came to visit.
We are staying in one of the "Hospitality House" that S.O.S. ministries owns and have had multiple opportunities to host people. When we first moved in, we had a house full of team members for a couple weeks, including some of Jill's family. We've had several families over as well as groups of youth after our weekly soccer games at the newly constructed sports complex.
The wildlife here is quite different than back home in Arkansas. We weren't used to seeing scorpions, tarantulas and cougars back home but we've seen them all and the first two multiple times! Jill opened her makeup bag to find a tarantula on top of her toothbrush. One afternoon, while we were getting ready to leave our house, Jill heard the neighbors' chickens making noise and looked over to see a gray cougar making its way from their place. We later heard it is common for people to lose their chickens to the "gatos montañas". One friend even said that a wild cat had killed all 33 of her chickens! Two of our friends have attested to seeing giant snakes in their yards and one of them described the snake in her backyard as about 25 feet long in the act of killing a chicken. She said it took 6 guys with machetes to kill that snake. Please keep praying for physical safety as well as spiritual protection!
At least once a week, I've been preaching in a nearby village or in the church closer to our house. We have started going into town before the midweek service and building relationships with the guys in the square who regularly come to play basketball. We then invite people to come to the service following our time in town. One little boy, Kevin, a few weeks ago was hanging around us while we were in town and when we asked him if he wanted to come to the service that evening he said yes, but that he would have to ask his mom. We ended up getting to bring Kevin, his mom, two sisters and a few of his little friends that evening! They are now on our regular route before services every week. We have also started visiting a new village on Sundays to pick up new visitors. Please pray these folks will continue coming and that they would have a personal relationship with Jesus.
A couple times a week we make home visits where we visit people in the community who may or may not be Christians. During our home visits, we usually take along one of the local Christians. Sometimes we visit someone who is ill, or someone who has just lost a family member, or a family who wants to know more about the church, or simply those who we may want to get to know better. We've also been able to bless some of these people with food and personal hygiene items. Recently, we visited and were able to help a family who had just had a 4-pound baby girl. The mother is ill and the teenage sons are going through some rough times. At another home we visited, 15-year-old Jason came to the door where we talked for a while, then invited him to come to the church where we could give him some items he needed. His mom is bedridden and he usually keeps to himself, but since we first met him, he has come around more and we are hoping to continue getting to know him as well as the other young men in the area.
We are glad to have had our friend Levi here with us on the field since the beginning of January. It's been good to have another guy here when we go out and about and he has been helping lead the youth every week as well as going with us on home visits and for evangelism in the local area. Levi is Mike Schadt's (founder of S.O.S.) son and lived here for a period of time when he was a kid. Please be in prayer for the Schadt family as Levi lost his Grandpa and Aunt last week.
Our hope and prayer is that the existing church would be encouraged, strengthened, and exhorted to persevere in good works in Christ. I plead with you to join my family in this prayer as well as in praying that the light of the Gospel would pierce the darkest areas of Central America, places griped by poverty and hunger, places lacking educational opportunity, places where life is held in the lowest regard and places where the present spiritual forces of evil have been at work for far too long.
-For the people we have met in home visits and new visitors that have started coming to the church to have a personal relationship with Jesus.
-For the families and individuals we are serving alongside.

Q: Python and regular expression I am trying to match the following strings:
 2 match virtual-address 172.29.210.119 tcp eq www
  4 match virtual-address 172.29.210.147 tcp any

The expected output:
 172.29.210.119
 tcp
 www

 172.29.210.147
 tcp
 any

I am using pattern:
   match virtual-address (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s?(\w+)? (?>eq)?\s?(\d+|\w+)

I get the expected output with that pattern testing in: https://regex101.com/
But when I use the same pattern to match in python, I get the following error:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
      File ".\ace2f5_parser.py", line 119, in <module>
        virtual_ip_proto_port = re.findall(pattern_virtual_ip_proto_port, line)
      File "C:\Users\hpokhare\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\re.py", line 213, in findall
        return _compile(pattern, flags).findall(string)
      File "C:\Users\hpokhare\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\re.py", line 293, in _compile
        p = sre_compile.compile(pattern, flags)
      File "C:\Users\hpokhare\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\sre_compile.py", line 536, in compi
        p = sre_parse.parse(p, flags)
      File "C:\Users\hpokhare\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\sre_parse.py", line 829, in parse
        p = _parse_sub(source, pattern, 0)
      File "C:\Users\hpokhare\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\sre_parse.py", line 437, in _parse_
        itemsappend(_parse(source, state))
      File "C:\Users\hpokhare\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\sre_parse.py", line 767, in _parse
        len(char) + 1)
    sre_constants.error: unknown extension ?> at position 53

What does the error mean. Doesn't it support ?>. Any ideas on how to resolve the issue.

A: You can use this regex in Python:
\bmatch virtual-address (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s?(\w+) (?:eq\s+)?(\w+)

RegEx Demo
Python regex doesn't support Atomic Group syntax (?>..) like PCRE.

A: If you modify the flavor of regex101 for "python", you will see that you can not use (?>eq)?
An alternative to what you want is to use $, to assert position at end of a line. Using (\w+)$ will catch the last of the string sentence.
import re

text = [
    '2 match virtual-address 172.29.210.119 tcp eq www',
    '4 match virtual-address 172.29.210.147 tcp any'
]

regexp = re.compile(r'match virtual-address (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s(\w+).*?\s(\w+)$')
for i in text:
    ip, protocol, url = regexp.search(i).groups()
    print(ip, protocol, url, '', sep='\n')

As part of the longest ski tour event in the world, the Red Bull Der Lange Weg, five athletes completed the fastest crossing of the Alps main ridge from Vienna, Austria to Nice, France. Doing so in just 36 days, the group skied and hiked on foot 1,069 miles in distance and nearly 57 miles of cumulative elevation gain. In total, they were on the move for 375 hours.
On April 22, the group of athletes Bernhard Hug (SUI), Philipp Reiter (GER), David Wallmann (AUT) and Janelle and Mark Smiley (USA) arrived in Nice only 36 days after leaving Austria. The crew averaged a grueling 30 miles per day.
Aside from the blazing pace, harsh weather was a major factor – crossing the Alps in March/April is no easy task. Blizzards were a reality at times, and the threat of avalanches was palpable.
The team originally started with seven athletes, but Nuria Picas (ESP) and Tamara Lunger (ITA) had to retire on their way to Nice for different reasons.
It was a very trying adventure. And the crew who made it in the 36 days endured plenty along the way.

Diana Cruz, executive director of the Durango Education Foundation, is seeking to boost the foundation's visibility around town.
Diana Cruz, executive director of the Durango Education Foundation, is looking to boost the foundation's visibility around town to help it provide more grants, scholarships and services to Durango School District 9-R.
Cruz took over the leadership role of DEF in January after the unexpected death in September 2017 of the previous executive director, Elizabeth Testa.
Under Cruz's stewardship, DEF is looking to augment the services it offers 9-R students.
DEF assisted in raising funds for the remodel of the Durango High School stadium, and it is the organizational umbrella for the DHS Alumni Association.
Among the ideas Cruz is pursuing is creating an internship program. Cruz said an internship program would not only provide summer job options to students but would enhance both DEF's and 9-R's ties to the business community.
Other ideas Cruz will explore include creating a tutoring program for students and creating a school supply pantry for needy students.
"We want to examine what services and products we can offer that will alleviate the stress on families, students and schools. If we could offer a free tutoring service, that would be incredible," Cruz said.
Supporting existing DEF programs, such as the Know Your Dough program in 9-R schools that provides personal financial education to students, is also crucial.
DEF currently manages 10 donor-based scholarships awarded to 9-R students, and it administers $120,000 in grants provided to enhance resources and programs available to 9-R teachers.
Cruz said DEF's main fundraiser, the Tom Hartney Golf for Education Tournament, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in May, will continue.
In addition, she is looking at adding several more fundraising events, including a soap-box derby and a battle of the chefs type of competition.
Cruz also said DEF is currently recruiting new board members.

Father of sole survivor tells of crash aftermath
KANSAS CITY (AP) — Ron Luce didn't recognize the voice of the woman who phoned Friday to say his daughter Hannah was with her and was fine.
Her words didn't make any sense to the Texas minister and founder of a Christian organization that reaches out to troubled youths. How could Hannah be with this woman when she was on a plane, headed to a Christian youth rally in Iowa?
"The way I discovered about my daughter and the plane accident was probably the most unscripted way you could imagine," Luce said yesterday during a news conference at University of Kansas Hospital, where his 22-year-old daughter was in serious condition with burns over 28 percent of her body. "I asked" the woman, " 'Where's the plane?' She said it's off in the distance, and there are flames; there's smoke."
Hannah Luce is the only survivor among five people on board when a twin-engine Cessna 401 crashed Friday afternoon northwest of Chanute, Kan. Three died at the scene, and a fourth, who Luce said helped his daughter walk from the wreckage to a nearby road, died early Saturday morning at a Wichita hospital.
All five were on their way from Tulsa, Okla., to an Acquire the Fire rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa. It was the last of 33 such events this year held across the United States by Teen Mania Ministries, which Luce said he created 25 years ago to reach out to troubled youths. The ministry is based in Garden Valley, Texas, where the Luce family lives.
"There could be no prouder parents than the parents of the four remarkable young men who were killed," Luce said.
The Kansas Highway Patrol identified the victims as pilot Luke Sheets, 23, of Ephraim, Wis.; Austin Anderson, 27, of Ringwood, Okla.; Garrett Coble, 29, of Tulsa, Okla.; and Stephen Luth, 22, of Muscatine, Iowa.
Anderson, a former Marine who had served two tours of duty in Iraq before going to Oral Roberts University, and Luth had recently been hired to the Teen Mania marketing staff.
Luce said Anderson, who suffered burns over 90 percent of his body, was next to Hannah Luce when she asked the woman to make the call.
Anderson was taken to a Wichita hospital, where he died around 5 a.m. Saturday.
Luce said he asked his daughter about reports that Anderson had pulled her from the wreckage, but "she just began to tear up" and didn't respond.
Hannah Luce was scheduled to start undergoing skin grafts today, he said, and was expected to remain in the Kansas City, Kan., hospital for two to three weeks.

Court ruling suggests LHBs could fund wider range of services
Three users of Cardiff welfare benefits advice project, Riverside Advice, have successfully challenged the withdrawal of the project's funding by Cardiff Local Health Board in the Court of Appeal. The case has potentially widespread implications for the voluntary sector, establishing that health bodies could fund a wide range of services, rather than the narrow range of services specified in the 1977 NHS Act.
The Riverside Advice project represents in the region of 80 to 100 people per year who suffer mental health difficulties and need assistance and specialist advice in relation to their benefits claims and appeals. It recently had its funding withdrawn by Cardiff Local Health Board when the Board considered that it did not have the power under the National Health Service Act 1977 to fund such a project.
However, earlier this month the Court of Appeal judged in the project's favour, meaning that the project will now receive three years' further funding. The Court found that the definitions of 'services' and 'facilities' should be given a broad interpretation and that on this basis it was lawful for the LHB to fund the advice project.

Guaranteeing your house never smells like cat. Two simple ways to prevent litter box odors other than cleaning them every day, is to sprinkle baking soda in the box when you clean it or adding some litter. Baking soda is not toxic to cats and it will help keep odors at bay.
Another good idea is to try odor removing crystals. This odorless, eco-friendly product comes in sachets of volcanic zeolite formed into crystals. Simply hang the sachet near your litter box. Also remember kitties don't like dirty boxes so clean often.
Another question often asked is "Should I serve wet food or dry"? The main difference between the two is water content. Canned food has more water. Owners often feed dry food thinking it will help keep kittys' teeth clean. That is not necessarily true as cats don't often chew their food. They tear, shred, or swallow it whole. Although Vets question the dental benefits of dry food, most agree cats are healthier when they drink more water. The water in the wet food can help prevent urinary tract disease and help reduce the work load of the kidneys.
The reason wet food isn't a slam dunk over dry? Studies show a positive link to wet food and thyroid gland problems. So the bottom line is wet food and dry food are pretty equal for dental disease, wet food is better for urinary health, and dry food for thyroid health. You could try feeding them a small amount of wet food morning and evening and free feed their dry food. They seem to regulate their food intake on their own and you won't be bothered by a hungry kitty at all hours.
Sometimes owners think they have a finicky cat. They might not be. If they suddenly refuse to eat the dry food they have always liked, and prefer the wet food maybe it's a health problem. It could be your pet has sore teeth or another dental problem. Some signs would be pawing at their mouth, turning their head to one side as they eat to avoid chewing on the painful side, or refusing to eat. If your cat starts drooling or has loose teeth take them to your Vet.
Ruining your furniture can ruin even the best of relationships. Their are ways to solve this problem. First: make their favorite spot undesirable. Apply double sided sticky tape to the area or drape it with fabrics they don't like to scratch. Next: try directing them to a stable scratching post placed in front of the blocked area. If your cat is a carpet shredder, use a horizontal scratcher too. Finally: when you catch them using the post, praise them or a kitty treat can't hurt.
Kitties and hairballs go hand-in-hand. No-one likes cleaning up hairballs but you can help prevent them. Hairballs are simply fur trapped in their intestines from grooming with their sandpaper tongues. Cats are avid groomers so they swallow the hairs and they end up in the stomach. To keep the hairballs from forming, brush your cat often to prevent them from ingesting the loose fur. If your kitty still seems to have a lot of hairballs check with your Vet to avoid a possible problem.
Understanding these simple facts about your pet will increase your "Catitude". You and your cat will be more comfortable and happier together.

Lesley Ann Foster, Masimanyane Women's Support Centre, Meets with Movement Makers to Reflect on Leadership and Movement Building

Day 9: Johannesburg –Bringing it All Together
Day's Itinerary:
Meet with Lesley Ann Foster, Masimanyane Women's Support Centre
Visit Apartheid Museum
Celebration Outing
It's hard to believe that today was our last full day of programming here in South Africa. To help bring it all together and connect what's happening in the movement and our individual leadership journeys, Lesley Ann Foster of Masimanyane Women's Support Centre spent the morning with us sharing her impeccable insights. For over 20 years, she has successfully worked in community, nationally, and internationally to advocate for the rights of girls and women and to combat violence against them, using a multitude of strategies.
Lesley Ann Foster of Masimanyane discussing women's rights with Move to End Violence.
Lesley Ann described some of the consequences of apartheid, including how the forced removals devastated community cohesion and that violence became normalized. Post-apartheid, the women's movement clarified their vision in the Women's Charter for Effective Equality and she feels the movement is in a moment when they need to again find that clarity of vision and support leaders to drive it.
She spoke at length about the current state of the movement and the backlash against women's rights, much of it driven by international funding pressures. These include a switch to gender-neutral policy that does not acknowledge the disproportionate violence faced by women, focusing on family and children or men and boys rather than women, pushing for a process of equity rather than the end goal of equality, professionalization of NGOs and services as well as privatization of the field, religious fundamentalism across all religions, and hierarchies of violence where the everyday violence that permeates women's lives is allowed to be ignored. Overall, she spoke strongly to the need to re-politicize violence against women.
This sparked discussion among the Movement Makers about when to accept funding, fissures within the movement, backlash against women-centered language and practices, and lack of clarity in our analysis in the U.S.
Lesley Ann closed with multiple leadership lessons that she has learned herself over the years and wanted to impart to us. She put it as "women have earned the right to be terminally tired", and her experience of burnout and the need for self-care resonated with many of us. She spoke of the need to always be developing new leadership: "An important lesson was not to hold onto good people and build the culture around me, I had to let them go and they took the work to the next level" and "Leadership and leading is not a solo game. It's not about you and you can't do it alone." She shared that "leadership is an inside job" and you have to constantly be self-reflective and take the time for your own renewal.
We spent the afternoon at the Apartheid Museum, a powerful collection of photography, news clips, and other historical artifacts documenting the rise and fall of apartheid. The museum opened in 2001 and provides rich context for many of the things we have been learning, including leaders we have been hearing about and are inspired by, successful strategies for building a powerful movement in the face of violence, the patience and great personal risk needed to build a mass movement, and the complicated transition from activism to governance.

To help decompress afterward, we had the pleasure of visiting a jazz club in Johannesburg to see Pilani Bubu, a young black South African singer-songwriter whose lyrics touch on love, heartbreak, and following your dreams. Colleagues from Just Detention International – South Africa and Positive Women's Network joined us – and PWN even received a shout-out from the stage. Listening to Pilani's lyrics together, "you will find the joy in living life in your own way…", was a fitting way to celebrate our last night together of a powerful and affirming journey.

TOM JOYNER IS CALLING IT QUITS AFTER A LEGENDARY 25-YEAR CAREER IN RADIO DUE TO SALARY CUTS
written by BJ Blog Staff
(Source: Black Enterprise) After using his voice to educate, entertain, and empower the African American community for decades, legendary radio host Tom Joyner is signing off for good. The Tom Joyner Morning Show aired for the very last time Friday morning.
The show first aired in 1994 and went on to become the No. 1 syndicated urban morning show in the country, reaching more than 105 markets and nearly 8 million listeners nationwide. In an interview with CBS This Morning, the 70-year-old radio giant admitted that he decided to retire because the radio industry doesn't pay as much as it used to. At his peak, Joyner said he was earning an annual salary of $14 million. However, that figure has been slashed several times in recent years.
"It got to a point where they would [say], 'Alright, we're gonna cut your salary in half.' 'OK.' 'And then in half.' 'OK.' And then in half two years ago," Joyner told CBS News National Correspondent Jericka Duncan. "Because my salary was based on my results, and not only was I losing affiliates but the radio industry as a whole was losing traction."
"If you had been offered more money, would you have stayed longer?" Duncan asked. "Heck yeah," he replied. "My goal was to die on the radio. Have my funeral on the radio," Joyner said with a laugh.
Prior to becoming a radio icon, Joyner had a brief stint with the legendary soul band The Commodores while attending Tuskegee University alongside his lifelong friend, Lionel Richie. However, because the group wasn't making money at the time, he left to focus on his budding radio career.

If there ever was a need for clarity in communication, it's now. Yet no matter how specific the question or how many times it's asked, the candidates from both parties just seem to drone on and on.
Watch the debates, or just pay attention in the next business meeting and you'll see it's true—too many people just don't know how to stop talking. A new book by Mike Staver, coach, professional speaker, and author of Do You Know How to Shut Up? And 51 Other Life Lessons That Will Make You Uncomfortable, teaches you how to know when to speak up and when to zip your lips.
In his book Staver says if you think you don't suffer from the same problems as the candidates, think again. You probably do—and if you don't, you know someone who does.
The Allied Group promises to listen to your needs, not tell you what you need when you buy promotional products or are looking for help with corporate marketing communications.


The average iDevice (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) holds a lot of personal information. iPhones probably more than any of the others. The ability to backup your iDevice to iCloud is great and has saved countless people from losing important data. It's convenient and works without you having to do anything but enable it. I've used this feature since day one and enjoyed it but I've always kept backups on my Mac as well, after all restoring 30+GB of stuff from iCloud can take hours and bugs/glitches can happen. Then news of PRISM broke and while it was no surprise to see names like Google, Facebook and Yahoo on the list I was shocked to see it's latest addition was Apple. Learning of what PRISM was for and what it could do I decided to delete all my iDevice backups from iCloud along with other personal information I preferred not to be accessible by those other than Apple. My trust in a company I trusted above all others received quite a blow. Since then I have been backing up and syncing my iDevices as I did two years ago; with a USB cable.
I was always a bit hesitant having my iPhone transmitting that much data while it was on my nightstand (familiar with SAR ratings and RF signals impact on the human body?) which is where I charge it and use it as an alarm clock. But it was a very convenient feature so I enabled it. For over a year every bit of my personal and private information was sent to Apple, possibly seen by those with PRISM access and definitely copied in transit by programs like X-Keyscore and other such programs. Nothing I can do about that now, they have it and will do with it as they please but at least they won't have any of it in the future. Having complete control over my backups feels good and I can trust noone but me will see them. At first I had to remind myself to connect to my Mac whenever I was at my desk but this took only a few days, now a Lightning cable is a permanent part of my setup again along with my Spider. Do I miss the features I disabled? Honestly, not one single bit. It's faster than iCloud, more private and more secure. If you have forgotten how backing up and syncing was done before iCloud or if you know nothing but iCloud (those new to Apple/iDevice/iCloud), here's how you can securely and privately backup your iDevice.
In the 'Backups' section make sure 'iCloud' is not checked and 'This Computer' is. When selecting 'This Computer' iTunes may give you a warning saying your iDevice will no longer be backed up to iCloud, this is fine as that is the main goal of this. When you click the 'Back Up Now' button your entire device and it's contents are saved to your computer and you have once again full control over it. Now about the security part. Check the 'Encrypt [iDevice] backup' box and you'll be prompted for a password, make this long, strong and unique. Do not check the 'remember password' box unless you are confident your computer is properly secured (FileVault, disk encryption, firewall etc).
With your iDevice backup being protected by a 128-bit encryption and your computer properly secured it's safe to assume the data is private once again. If you want to verify the backup go to the iTunes Preferences and check the Devices tab. Your backups will show and the encrypted ones display a small lock icon.
All that's left is to delete the backups from the iCloud servers. To do this from your iDevice go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage. Tap on each of your backups and select "Delete". When all done, turn off iCloud Backups. Make sure each of your iDevices is backed up to your computer before you delete and disable iCloud backups.
Now that you are backing up and syncing through USB cable again you might as well disable your Photo Stream too. Importing photos to your computer will go much faster through USB and is of course private and secure. Photo Stream can be disabled on your iDevice in the iCloud settings and in Preferences for iPhoto on your Mac. Syncing photos this way will also give you the option to delete them after import freeing up space. Another added bonus is your backup will be backed up through Time Machine or drive clones as well. Of course if you are doing this for privacy reasons you may want to stop 'handing out' your Contacts, Calendars and Documents as well, luckily these can also be synced through USB.
Unfortunately iCloud bundles Calendars and Reminders together on OS X. When you disable it you can sync Calendars through iTunes but not your Reminders so if you want your Reminders synced you have no choice but to enable both. Notes require a mailserver to sync so unless you run your own, this too has to be enabled in iCloud. (In the upcoming 10.9 Mavericks Calendars and Reminders each have their own on/off switch for iCloud syncing. So far iTunes does not have the "info" tab which would mean syncing Contacts, Calendars, Reminders etc can no longer be done without iCloud. Will re-test and adjust this post once Mavericks is officially released)(Update: yup, it's gone).
Another small step in getting your privacy back!
This is a tough one, I'll have to think about it.

Digiday Research: European publishers still look to Facebook and Instagram to grow abroad
May 8, 2019 by Mark Weiss
In a survey of 103 publisher executives by Digiday this February, 42% said that Facebook has been an effective platform to grow their audience while 25% said the same about Instagram. Meanwhile, 20% of respondents found Twitter a capable platform to develop fresh audiences. One-quarter of survey takers said social platforms were not adequate tools to grow their international audiences.
"Facebook is great to cultivate new communities and grow interactions with your brand, but the days of it being a chief driver of organic referrals are largely over," said James Dickens, global editor-in-chief of U.K.-based Goal.
But ultimately the sheer size of Facebook, as well as Instagram, still matter to some publishers.
"Social growth is inherently dependent on the 'network effect' and scale. Platforms, like Facebook, still play a major factor in how far a publisher's messaging can reach global audiences," said Camilla Newman, publishing director of Glamour UK.
Publishers in the Digiday survey also selected an average of 1.54 platforms in their responses signaling there's no single right way to grow audiences abroad.
"Media owners can dictate how people consume content so we have to ensure our content is in relevant formats for differing platforms," said Ryan Skeggs, chief commercial officer of Givemesport.
For its part, Givemesport said it has had success distributing editorial content and repurposed video across Apple News to new readers in the U.S. and putting out localized content about cricket at scheduled times in countries like India.
"Twitter is big across the world for us, but especially in Japan. Meanwhile, we have doubled down on quality content on YouTube over the last year," added Dickens.
Meanwhile smaller platforms that have drawn less attention from publishers can also provide opportunities to expand global footprints.
"LinkedIn has seen substantial growth and Pinterest continues to surprise us with a slow-moving, but constantly growing, global audience," said Newman.


David "Honeyboy" Edwards, born in Shaw in 1915, took to the road as a teenager accompanying Big Joe Williams and became a true "rambling" bluesman. Later Edwards traveled with other artists, including Robert Johnson. Edwards recorded blues for the Library of Congress and the Sun and Chess labels, but he is also revered for his colorful tales of the lives of early Delta bluesmen.
David Edwards, nicknamed "Honeyboy" by his sister, was born in Shaw on June 28, 1915. He started playing guitar at age twelve, learning from his father, Henry Edwards, and as a teenager from pioneer bluesmen including Tommy Johnson and Charley Patton. In 1932 bluesman Big Joe Williams took Edwards under his wing, teaching him valuable lessons about how to survive on the road. Edwards later traveled widely, often as a hobo on freight trains, skillfully avoiding arrests for vagrancy. He became a good gambler, and often played blues for tips until he made enough to enter games. Edwards described the life of the itinerant bluesman, relaying both its joys and difficulties, in his 1997 autobiography The World Don't Owe Me Nothin'.
In 1937-38 Edwards worked with Robert Johnson and attended Johnson's final performance in the Greenwood area in 1938, when Johnson was allegedly poisoned. Other artists he worked with in Mississippi, Arkansas, and Memphis included the Memphis Jug Band, Big Walter Horton, Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller), Tommy McClennan, and Little Walter Jacobs.
In 1942 Alan Lomax of the Library of Congress recorded Edwards in Clarksdale, and in 1951 Edwards made his first commercial recordings in Houston, Texas, for the ARC label as "Mr. Honey." He also recorded for the Sun and Chess labels in the '50s, but the sessions were not issued until the 1970s. In 1956 Edwards settled with his wife in Chicago, where he found work as a laborer and performed with Big Walter, Carey Bell, and others. In 1969 he was a guest on an album by the British band Fleetwood Mac and over the subsequent decades recorded many albums on Folkways, Earwig and other labels. Edwards's charming personality, storytelling skills, and memories of early blues artists were captured in the 2002 documentary Honeyboy, which included footage filmed in Shaw.
Most blues activity in Shaw over the years has been in juke joints such as the White House, the Riverside Inn, the One Minute, and Fox's, although small local blues festivals have been held on occasion since the 1990s. Shaw was also the birthplace of Louis Satterfield (1937-2004), a prominent studio musician for Chess Records in Chicago and trombonist with the group Earth, Wind & Fire, and of Clarksdale guitarist and Delta Blues Museum educator Michael "Dr. Mike" James (b. 1965).
This marker was unveiled on April 13, 2007. Edwards, who was 96, passed away in Chicago on August 29, 2011.

I keep holding on
But he got to go, he got to go
Thought he was the one
But now I don't know
After what he's done
He's got to go, he's got to go
You keep rewinding it
Stopin' it and playing yourself over again
See I'm sick and tired of you doin' that same old
Sick of your same routine
Now you've got to come clean
Cause it's killing me
I just don't understand
You get chance after chance
And you say that you'll do right
But I really do not know if you can
It's not in your plans
That you've shown
Can you change, don't think so
Now I gotta let you go
Got to go-go-go-go-go
Got to go-go-go-go-go.

Pagan Online is a new hack 'n' slash Action-RPG from the minds at Wargaming and Mad Head Games, set in a pre-Christian world. A land of savage enemies and ancient vengeful gods, players battle through a demonic dystopia that is equal parts brutal, manic and mystic. Scheduled to launch in 2019, they have opened registration for pre-launch tests (known as Trials) at the following link.
Pagan Online is a new take on hack-and-slash aRPGs, featuring challenging and fast-paced combat, powerful combatants, endless gear, and tons of gory glory. Following in the footsteps of classic dungeon crawlers while tearing down and reinventing gameplay into a MOBA-style combat experience. Missions will be replayable, with tons of carnage and tactical combat with varying difficulties and game modes, with additional episodic content coming later, called "Battle Chapters". Players can demolish thousands of monsters to acquire powerful gear or compete with their friends, Pagan Online will offer a sadistic spectrum of challenges to overcome.

This is not a place of honor
Posted by: Jack Graham 9 years, 8 months ago
It's JN-T Day! In honour of the late and much-maligned Mr Nathan-Turner - who rescued Who from the stylistic doldrums, produced a slew of stone classics and stuck around longer than he wanted to because he knew his departure would mean the end of the show - here is my Timelash II stuff on the stories usually called the 'Black Guardian Trilogy'. Much undervalued, all three of them.
For John Nathan-Turner.
'Mawdryn Undead'
Once you get past the Billy Bunter bibble of the opening (and even that is pleasingly unexpected) this develops into a highly satisfactory bit of concept-driven sci-fi, cleverly using time travel (never a major concern of the old-style show) as part of a complex but admirably clear plot, aware of itself as myth-reiteration (immortality as curse, the Flying Dutchman, etc.) and with a submerged political sense in its depiction of crime, power, unscrupulousness and luxury.
It engages with the Who mythos without being enslaved to it, using concepts from the show's backstory to create a genuinely dramatic conflict situation in the characters' here and now.
You can see everyone's point of view here, even if you don't like the way they're behaving. There are no clear goodies or baddies except for the jarringly satanic Black Guardian, but even he works as a figure on the sidelines trying to manipulate and influence events through his conflicted avatar Turlough, who constitutes a bravura bit of experimentation: the companion who is unsure whether he's bad or not!
The production design is superlative... with the mutants' ship, the obelisk, the transmat capsule, the crystal, the stolen gallifreyan machine, the hall of portraits, etc., all impressing and lingering in the memory.
The acting is very good, with David Collings giving it the full RSC and Nick Courtney very carefully and skillfully delineating the differences between the alternate versions of the Brig. Davison is never better than when called upon to play the Doctor as thinking through events and figuring out his situation... and this story plays to that strength... also allowing him to bring an almost suave air of intelligence, particularly when he tosses the crystal back to Turlough with a look of sardonic calculation.
And you have to admire the sheer off-the-wall combinations. A public school comedy that develops into a story about time travelling mutants on a luxury cruise liner, featuring an alien teenager (though obviously played by a grown man) and one of his teachers being split into two personas... well, we've come a long way from stomping monsters invading Southern England every week.
It may not be as spectacular as some of the other stories from this era, but if this is the 80s show chugging along as normal then they're obviously doing something very right.
I make no apologies; I love 'Terminus'.
It's almost relentlessly cold, austere, alienating, unsympathetic, brutal and nihilistic, set in an explicitly godless universe which is depicted as teeming with sickness, decay, cowardice, failure, pettiness, selfishness and great crashing waves of existential boredom.
There's hardly anyone or anything to cheer for. This is no morality tale. There is no clear Good or Bad anywhere (even the Doctor is being a survivor rather than a moral force). There are just loads of people trying to make do and survive in a hostile world not of their own making; people subject to all the frailties of the flesh and of the intellect and of the spirit.
In this way, it's a very realistic story.
Like so much Who it's obsessed with entropy, everything is decaying, from Terminus' engines to Kari's power pack to Nyssa's body. Like so much of this season, it's obsessed with the crushing tedium of immortality, with how eternity becomes nullity.
If 'Warrior's Gate' was about bursting out of the nightmarish continuum of history, Steve Gallagher's second story is about how sometimes history just seems to judder to a halt, leaving people stranded in a seemingly eternal Now.
The Garm is stranded by the control box, unable to leave or stay and do what he wants to do. The Vanir are stranded by their ignorance and their sickly addiction (hydromel is clearly a drug rather than a medicine), unable to leave or stay and be humane. The raiders are stranded, unable to raid or escape. Moreover, these people are stranded by their own ideas and assigned roles… that's why the story makes such a fuss over people (from Olvir to Valguard to the Garm) renegotiating their roles and changing their ideas. The lazars are stranded, apparently dependant upon a crudest form of make-or-break treatment before they get shipped who-knows-where by the company. Even Terminus Inc. is stranded in its crazy vicious circle of shipping slaves and lepers about the universe. It isn't just an 'evil corporation' like the Usurians; it's an expression of the futility of moving in circles without getting anywhere.
Terminus itself is stranded at the centre of the universe (which must be a metaphysical position since it obviously can't mean anything spatially) and at a nonsensical everywhen. It must be eternal (even its construction can't really be said to be its beginning, if you think about it) and that's why it seems so still and silent; it is bereft of history, of the passing of time. Everybody there gets stuck in the stillness and the silence… and the boredom of eternally rolling the boulder up the hill.
This is why the reworking of the Norse myth works so well, because those myths are obsessed with people guarding things forever… and endings are always just smotherings and silencings rather than real conclusions.
It's quite wrong of the writers of About Time vol. 5 to say that this should've been done as Wagnerian opera… it's not about heroism or villainy or anything grand. It's about the alienation of working for a cause that you don't control, for masters you don't see, in ways you don't choose. It's about the drabness and tedium and smothering silence of stopped time, of neverending routine and mindless circularity… which is mirrored by the mindless circularity of the paradox at the heart of the story. The universe itself is the endlessly circulating trap in which people get stuck.
Of course, you can break out of loops, as the raiders do, as Valguard does, as the Garm does… but, in this story, it's hard. What Biroc does heroically and comparatively easily in 'Warrior's Gate', the people in 'Terminus' have to do slowly and painfully and reluctantly. It's a gruelling learning process for them, and for Nyssa, who volunteers to be stranded at the end… but only so she can break out of her own loop and help others break out of theirs.
Does it make for friendly, accessible, thrilling, inclusive family viewing? Nope, I couldn't claim that it does. Did it alienate viewers? Dunno; maybe.
Do I care? In a pig's arse.
'Enlightenment'
Gorgeous, unexpected, sophisticated, ambiguous, textured, flowing, poetic, witty....
Easily one of my all-time favourites. It's a quality production, with some great guest actors (who really *get* it), lovely music, lovely production design, lovely model work, lovely costumes, lovely dialogue... it's almost too lovely, actually. The tone is opulent, louche and semi-comic... at times, almost farcical. It's a panto [oh no it isn't], but a very rich and strange one...
'Enlightenment' is an entirely fitting finale to the 'Black Guardian Trilogy' because it brings the running themes of existential tedium, immortality-as-curse and stopped-time to a head with its depiction of the Eternals as semi-tragic, atemporal, bored sociopaths… but it also seems like another of those occasional, thematically-linked stories about the nightmare of history as we know it… the history in question being the history of hierarchy and exploitation.
The Eternals almost seem to embody the various ruling classes that have plagued humanity. All through the history of class society, the priests and administrators and warlords and kings have controlled the means and technology of production, and have hoarded the surplus wealth that people produced through those means… a bit like the captain of a ship who keeps the prize when the ship was powered by the labour of the crew!
Such rulers have always felt more real than the little people (when the exact opposite was usually the case) and more entitled to be amused and pampered and served. They've always built temples to themselves, greedily hoarded knowledge (enlightenment) and always convinced themselves that they were immortal, little gods on Earth… and sometimes their immense power made that effectively true, but it also left them contemptible (though our own equally class-ridden culture tends to fawn over their memory).
All through the history of class society, Power has always used and abused the little people. The Eternals masquerade as a selection of ruling class and/or criminal bullies, employers and slavedrivers from Earth history. The very bosses who used the people as commodities to be owned and used. The party, with its congregation of the various overlords from every era ("the masters of sail") always reminds me of the opening of Chapter One of The Communist Manifesto, with its litany of struggling classes. I suppose it's questionable how Wrack's pirate vibe fits in with this picture... but what were pirates (indeed, what is all organised crime) but the mirror image of all 'legitimate' mercantile capitalist enterprise? The pirates that Wrack copies were the outlawed cousins-under-the-skin of the imperialist navies that hunted them... though they were ultimately responsible for much less violence and theft than the official fleets of empire, or the seagoing mercantile thugs of international trade.
The Eternals quite clearly depend upon us, on the little people... though they get unusually animated when fiercely denying this. Their exploitation of the ephemerals for their imaginative abilities is analogous to the way ruling classes have exploited the labour (physical and mental) of ordinary people for the surplus it creates… always brandishing their stolen power as proof of their putative superiority, always angrily claiming that they are the 'wealth creators', not the helots or serfs or working classes who actually make and do everything real.
None of this is a moral question about villains and their dastardly deeds. It's about history and the forces of production… well, I'd love to get deeper into historical materialism, but we'd be here all day. Suffice it to say that it works beautifully that the Eternals are just cogs in an impersonal machinery of usage rather than villains, with even Wrack being best described as a cat toying with mice. Even the Guardians seem more like the balancing counterweights in a system, despite Dyall's "nyah ha ha!" moments.
This story presents itself as a straightforward morality tale, of a fairytale of Good vs. Evil. The chess board at the start points the way... but chess is also about something else. It's about social classes. Kings, priests, knights (i.e. titled thugs and enforcers) and pawns. And its about usage. It's about the powerful gameplayers who use the pawns as... well, as pawns in their game. Just like the Guardians. Just like the Eternals. This isn't really a fable about Good and Evil so much as a meditation on history and class and exploitation and usage... about how there is a system that runs on these things, almost impersonally, and which can lead to great Enlightenment if the game is played out... but what's Enlightenment? It's the end of the game... and the opt-out clause from the system. It's the choice to not buy power with someone else's life, to not be a king sacrificing a pawn, to not buy "whatever you wish" by trading in another's life, to not treat another living person as a commodity.
The style is postmodern (which is simply to say pop-modernist), concealing some very sophisticated thematic machinery under an outer shell of pastiche, eclecticism and pseudo-cod moral philosophy. Even the inner cogs and wheels don't really add up to any kind of complete or conscious Marxist parable (which would have to involve the ephemerals shaking off their chains and collectively freeing themselves). But all the same….
Sadly, it marks the end of another of those great little runs of consistently excellent/interesting stories. 'Snakedance' to 'Enlightenment' is a kind of mini-return to the great form of 'Full Circle' to 'Kinda'. It's over now though. But what a way to close!
All in all, it's astonishing how well these three stories form a thematically consistent whole, each of them meditating on immortality as a curse, on time as a trap, on the boredom of alienated existence, on stranded people, on the nightmares of history and on people used as commodities... themes that resound through all the better stories of this era, and even some of the worse ones. Stuff this thoughtful doesn't come along too often. If we (i.e. fans) had more sense, we'd be prouder of it.

Great review, particularly the conclusion-really got me seeing these stories in a new light, as your reviews often do
What I find really interesting is Song of the Space Whale by Pat Mills was originally intended for the Mawdryn Undead slot. (I don't whether you've heard the Big Finish version)
And in that story there are again these same themes of the curse of immortality, stranded people, and in this case the whale's life as a commodity.
Oh and here's to JNT! For several wonderful and wonderfully different eras
Thanks JS - that's really interesting. I'm not familiar with 'Song of the Space Whale', though I've heard of it. I'll have to look it up.
It's interesting how the same themes keep popping up in 80s Who. They submerge and then resurface, shift and realign, but they're oddly consistent.
I'm resistant to the idea that certain themes keep reoccuring in particular places and moments because of underlying social/political circumstances... it strikes me as a rather reductionist approach to culture... but sometimes the idea of coincidence seems even less plausible.
Of course, JNT and Saward probably didn't set out to make the Black Guardian Trilogy thematically consistent... but they hired talented people who were, somehow, tuning into the same cultural frequencies and expressed them in diverse but complementary ways.


The Bastrop City Council on Thursday extended the city's development moratorium by six months, allowing more time for city staff to overhaul development regulations to ensure new residential and commercial developments do not cause adverse effects on drainage.
The council's initial 90-day moratorium went into effect Aug. 23, creating a short-term freeze on accepting applications for subdivision, building or development permits. The moratorium was set to expire Nov. 22, but on Thursday it was extended until May 21.
The city has hired Austin-based planning and development consultant SimpleCity Design to help guide the development code's overhaul. SimpleCity Design has completed an analysis of Downtown Bastrop's DNA, evaluating how it functions as a neighborhood, as well as an extensive review of the city's existing development rules.
In its findings, SimpleCity Design identified significant challenges and code conflicts that are not aligned with the city's comprehensive plan — which was designed to guide development through 2036 — nor considered fiscally sustainable or geographically sensitive.
Through the development code overhaul the city will develop new standards for residential and commercial development, including establishing drainage regulations with impervious cover limitations, zoning districts and district regulations, cut and fill regulations, as well as address the issues identified during the code's review that will affect future growth and development.
Officials have said public input and participation is a key component of Building Bastrop, the initiative the city kicked off in August to analyze and modify its development code. On Nov. 29 and 30, the city will host a design rodeo and on Dec. 13 and 14 it will host a code rodeo for residents to help design and code the city, respectively, and offer feedback on examples of the updated building code.
As part of the moratorium, the City Council has created an exemption process allowing for development to continue on a case by case basis.
As of Oct. 31, the city had issued 212 permits during the moratorium, including 17 new single-family residential, five commercial remodels, one new office complex and two commercial finish-out permits.
One of the exemptions that was granted was to a resident who unknowingly was planning to build their home in a drainage area. As a result of the review process, building plans for the house were shifted and moved out of the drainage way, officials said.

One meaning of Ijara is to employ the services of a person on wages given to him as a consideration for his hired services." The employer is called 'mustajir' while the employee is called 'mu`jir'.
Second meaning of Ijara relates to the usufructs of assets and properties, and not to the services of human beings. 'Ijara' in this sense means 'to transfer the usufruct of a particular property to another person in exchange for a rent claimed from him.' In this case, the term 'Ijara' is analogous to the English term 'leasing'. Here the lessor is called Mujir', the lessee is called 'mustajir' and the rent payable to the lessor is called 'ujrah'. Note: For this report the second type of Ijara is more relevant, because it is generally used as a form of investment, and as a mode of financing also.
– It has to be asset-based financing: The first fundamental principle of Shariah is that as opposed to conventional financial dealing, profit is generated when something having intrinsic utility is sold or offered for use. Money has no intrinsic value. As such dealing in money cannot generate profit unless converted into real assets.


will the 2010 gt500 brembo cals rotors and hoses clear my tsw 18.8.5 rims ?
I'm going to guess you mean "Brake help", eh?
Unless you happen to run across someone who has tried that exact combination, you won't know until you try it. By "exact", I mean the same offset and back-spacing, as well as wheel diameter, rim width and style.
Find someone with a 2010 GT500 and ask them to let you try to fit your wheel/tire combination on his/her front corner. Then you'll be pretty safe in deciding "yea" or "nay".
Quick Reply: break help !


People living near a Rotherham steelworks have reported hearing three loud explosions tonight.
A couple of crews from Rotherham were sent to the site but at 11.05pm, firefighters said they were not needed at the scene.
An eyewitness to the incident said the explosions were caused by a pot of molten slag from a furnace being accidentally tipped into a lagoon.
