The Princess, the Unicorn, and the Smelly Foot Troll at Downtown Phoenix's Great Arizona Puppet Theater

Older siblings have returned to school, and field trips are not in full swing yet, so GAPT's weekday performances on Wednesday through Friday mornings are a little low-key right now, which can be perfect for very young children and sleepy journalists. Or you can bring a bigger, friskier group (or even arrange a birthday party) on Saturdays and Sundays.
The execution: Young audiences are remarkable and inspiring for a number of reasons, but what I really noticed at Princess was their fierce concentration. (Children's spontaneity and lack of boundaries let performers know right away whether they're succeeding.)
The little girl next to me was riveted, mostly in quiet yet near-hysterical bliss. There are times you're supposed to respond to puppets when they ask you things, but she was way ahead of the game. When Troll and the rest of us heard the tinkling bell of Popsicle the unicorn -- offstage, in the distance, as it were -- and Troll said something like, "Someone's coming. I wonder who it is," my neighbor shouted, "It's Popsicle!" Frankly, anyone who wants to light a fire under the exposition is okay in my book.
Despite all the fairy-tale frou-frou and sparkliness, the boys in the house seemed to like the show as well. There is, after all, a character named Smelly Foot Troll. Also, when Princess Harriet places her birthday party invitations in Popsicle's mail pouch, she reads the guests' names out loud, and apparently several of the princes and princesses who were invited were sitting in the audience! "How do they know our names?" one of the boys asked in shock. (Princess Curtains was not invited, but hey, that's all right. I needed to go buy wine anyway.)
The medium-size rod marionettes are sculpted from foam, covered with papier-mâché, and beautifully painted and costumed. They look like old-fashioned carved-wood puppets.
Lisa Pirro's painted backdrops are simply gorgeous, like book illustrations, and despite being maybe 3 by 5 feet tops, establish the settings in the short play very well. The script is mostly about being thoughtful and kind to your friends, but it's also funny and charming, with wiggling butts, original songs, and those moments of contemplative, self-conscious puppet dialogue that I've always found appealing at GAPT.

Many people are intimately familiar with the word processing application, Microsoft Word. Despite all of the changes the program has experienced since its initial creation, the fundamental aspects have remained the same. This can actually be rather deceiving, because the many changes Word has undergone can leave people unaware as to its potential and capabilities. When you take the Word 2013 Advanced training course, you will gain the necessary knowledge to use Word to its fullest extent. With Word 2013, there are more enhancements and features than you could imagine.
What Is a Word 2013 Tutorial?
A Microsoft Word tutorial involves instructing people on the multitude of uses and capabilities of the word processing application. You can create everything from letters to flyer to reports, and you can even collaborate on projects with other people. Taking a Word 2013 advanced training course can be more efficient than the average tutorial, and it can give you the practice you need to solidify the information you learn.
When you take the Word 2013 Advanced Training course, you should prepare yourself to learn everything you need to know about the word processing program. If you have used Word 2010, the Word 2013 tutorial will be easy and straightforward due to your familiarity with a similar interface. If you are more familiar with an older model, you might have to spend more time practicing with Word 2013 throughout the duration of the training course.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Why We Support Hillary Clinton for President
By Billy Bristow, Nate Jara and Elie Kirshner | April 19, 2016
More on election 2016
Subscribe to election 2016
The media has devoted quite a bit of attention to Senator Bernie Sanders' (D-Vt.) strong support among young people. As a group of progressive student leaders on campus, we want to take the time to explain why we plan on voting for Secretary Clinton in the New York primary on Tuesday.
Underpinning Clinton's campaign is a keen and focused understanding of what it means to put together a platform. We hold candidates accountable for what they say they'll accomplish if elected, which is why it's so important that a candidate's platform and positions be fundamentally grounded in reality. They don't propose ideas in the context of a political system as it ought to be, they work through the system as it is, all the while striving to make the system better.
This is they key difference between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders — Clinton doesn't make promises she knows she can't keep. Clinton understands that it isn't right and it isn't honest to promise free healthcare and free college when there are political realities that contort these proposals into pipe dreams. Even the most optimistic projections show the Republican Party retaining control of the House of Representatives in the next Congress. In a Republican-controlled Congress, Sanders' single-payer healthcare plan and college affordability plan are dead on arrival.
As Democrats, we all share the same goals. We want to see more people have access to affordable healthcare. We want to empower people that might otherwise be unable to further their education. We want to address systemic racism by reforming the criminal justice system in a way that ensures everybody is treated equally regardless of what they look like or where they come from. But we also know that change doesn't happen overnight. If we want to enact real change, we have to be pragmatic. We have to be honest.
Over the course of this campaign, Clinton has had her record as a progressive called into question. Her integrity. Her support from the "establishment." Never mind that Clinton and Sanders voted the same way 93 percent of the time while serving in the Senate. Never mind that when Senator Sanders was asked to name a single vote influenced by donations Clinton received from Wall Street, he couldn't. We reject these attacks through innuendo wholeheartedly. Which isn't to say that Clinton has never made a mistake — far from it. But these phony attacks not only distract from the issues, they undermine the value of debate.
We agree that idealism is important in politics. It is important to question the status quo and push for progressive change. However, we cannot allow our ideals to blind us to basic practical truths. Idealism without regard to pragmatism, without compromise, is not a governing strategy. We deserve a president who can get the job done. We deserve more than quixotic rhetoric at the expense of meaningful change. President Obama serves as a reminder of this balance. While his rhetoric is inspiring, he uses it to offer pragmatic policies and goals.
Clinton is unquestionably the most qualified candidate to seek the Presidency in modern history. Her wealth of experience in public service as First Lady, as a United States Senator, and as Secretary of State makes for a distinguished record that speaks for itself.
Our primary goal moving forward is to see President Obama's legacy protected and built upon. President Obama trusts Hillary Clinton's judgment. We think you should too.

New Housing, Ministry Space Planned for Former Bronx Church Site
The site of the former Trinity UMC in the Morrisania neighborhood of The Bronx, left photo, is slated to be repurposed for low-income housing and a ministry space at street level, right photo. Church photo by New York Big Apple Images; rendering by Bronx Pro Group.
BY NEW YORK CONFERENCE STAFF
A new thing is about to spring up in The Bronx to help meet the needs of the neighborhood around the former Trinity Morrisania United Methodist Church. The United Methodist City Society, the mission partner of the New York Conference, has signed an agreement with the Bronx Pro Group (BPG) to repurpose the property as a low-income senior housing complex, according to Rev. Dr. William Shillady, executive director of the City Society. The new 13-story building will house 154 apartments, with a ground level space designated for a United Methodist ministry.
The Trinity church, on Washington Avenue at East 166th Street, closed its doors on June 30, 2016. The building maintenance had become too much for the small congregation to handle.
"After a season of prayer and conversation, the church was led to give up their building to serve as a legacy church," Metropolitan District Superintendent Denise Smartt Sears wrote in an email. "Many of the members have found a home in our neighboring Methodist congregations."
The City Society has owned the church property since the 1940s, and under the development plan will retain a 25 percent partnership in the new building. The $81-million project is being funded with "tax-exempt bond financing, low income housing tax credits and government subsidies," according to Shillady. "The society will receive funds from the partnership for years to come."
The mixed-use building will be named the Trinity-Rev. William M. James Senior Housing Complex. James led a revitalization of the church when he served as the pastor there from the mid-40s to the early 50s. The street-level space in the energy-efficient "green" building could be home to a childcare center, a senior center, an adult daycare center, or some other creative ministry. Construction is expected to begin this fall with completion in mid-2020.
"This building project will be an exciting witness to the local community, where currently senior citizens are being forced to leave because of rising rents, to New York City as a joint venture between a faith-related partner and a developer; and to our United Methodist denomination," Shillady said.
He first reached out to the developers eight years ago when BPG was building affordable housing across the street from the church property. Shillady noticed that above the building's door lintel was inscribed, "With God all things are possible." BPG has since built an affordable apartment building next door to the church. During that construction, the society leased land to the development project for a construction trailer and storage site.
According to their web site, the Bronx Pro Group "mission is to develop quality housing that is both affordable and sustainable with an increasing focus towards community building." Since 1998, BGP, which is primarily owned by the Magistro family, has developed more than 2,000 affordable housing units along with commercial and community spaces.
The scripture phrase, "With God all things are possible," from Matthew 19:26 is on many of the buildings that BPG has built, and will be inscribed on this joint venture project as well.
Involvement in property transactions is nothing new to the City Society's work. Throughout its history the society has helped start new congregations with financial support, land purchases, and grants and loans for buildings. At one point, the society's predecessor agency, the NYC Methodist Episcopal Church Extension and Mission Society, owned 30 churches in Manhattan and the Brooklyn-Long Island Church Extension and Mission Society owned 26 churches. As time moved on, many of these properties were sold as the congregations dwindled.
In 1983, after Grace UMC on West 104th Street burned to the ground, the society built a new church and apartment building from the ashes. The10-story apartment building provides 56 units of affordable housing and 12 units to house religious workers.
The City Society was also a key partner with Salem UMC to build Salem House, low-income and transitional homeless housing at 129th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard in Harlem. Completed in 2007, Salem House is a seven-story, mixed-use project in central Harlem that combines commercial and community facilities with a variety of residential units. In 2016, the society returned its portion of the partnership to the Salem congregation under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Marvin Moss.
According to Shillady, the society has worked with Bishop Thomas J. Bickerton and his cabinet in the last year to dream of ways to repurpose properties. That partnership is focused on ways to better meet community needs as the conference continues to merge congregations and create cooperative ministries. The proceeds from property sales are being used for ministry in the Bronx, Harlem, and Brooklyn, and providing support for fulltime pastors where there had been part-time appointments. Recent sales have funded grants for major renovations in one congregation and assistance for a new boiler in another. As the City Society sells a property, it also fulfills the unpaid apportionments and obligations of the former congregations.
In 2008 when he joined the City Society, 10 churches were still owned by the organization, Shillady noted. The goal of the society has always been to turn the titles over to congregations that are flourishing and vital. Unfortunately, throughout the conference there are significant church buildings that have deferred maintenance, unsafe conditions, and very small congregations. There are dwindling resources to assist in maintaining large buildings for very small congregations.
However, as Shillady says he discovered, the value and possibility of re-purposing these properties is enormous. He uses the term "mission value opportunity cost" to describe a calculation that includes the actual dollar cost of keeping churches operating along with the lost revenue from the value of the property. If a property is worth $2 million, at a 5 percent return on those funds, it is also costing $100,000 in lost value each year – money that could go to helping people and ministries, and not simply buildings.
While closing a church is always difficult because of the memories associated with its ministries, congregations have the opportunity to become a "legacy church," Shillady said. When a church unburdens itself from property, those funds can be freed up to start new faith communities and create vital ministries in new places.
"Leaving one's 'home church' is always a difficult move," Smartt Sears wrote. "This shift allows the church's legacy to remain in the community and to serve the neighborhood in new ways. Changing the culture of any institution takes constant prayer, discernment and vision. One has to be willing to take risks to realize life anew."

UIW football: New coach Morris speaks out at media day
Sports // Local Colleges
Jeremy Carranco, Staff Writer July 20, 2018 Updated: July 20, 2018 4:46 p.m.
New UIW head football coach Eric Morris came to the Cardinals from Texas Tech, where he was the offensive coordinator.

Set for their ninth season, the Incarnate Word football team is looking to rebound from a disappointing 2017 season.
First-year head coach Eric Morris will be a head coach for the first-time in his 2018 debut season with UIW. He spent the last five years as Texas Tech's offensive coordinator.
"From the things that have come across my desk in the last six months, I don't think you really understand it until you get in that seat," he said. "I've taken a lot of notes. I've tried to incorporate so much of it into our program."
At the Southland Conference media day on Thursday, Morris says unity that will be of utmost importance this season.
"It's an interesting dynamic for us as coaches to bring 105 players together. You put them all in a locker room together and we have to find a way to get these kids to love each other," he said. "The goal now is to build chemistry in the locker room and have these guys focus on the little things each and every day. When you get doing all of these well, that's when you develop into a great team."
Check out @UIW_CoachMorris 's full podium conversation with @ESPNCFB at yesterdays @SouthlandSports Conference Media Day!#SpreadTheWord #Southland #ESPNhttps://t.co/sFqGfSuKrp
— UIW Football (@UIWFootball) July 20, 2018
More on unity from Morris:
"We have to find the importance of a cause beyond ourselves," he said. "These student-athletes can't be selfish; there's no me-me-me attitude. They have to think about the team all the time. What's their purpose in life and what's their purpose on this team? We're working hard on that right now."
Despite his past years in the Big 12, Morris is carrying knowledge of the Southland Conference into his first season with UIW.
"Fortunately, I know a bit about the conference. During the last few years at Texas Tech we had the opportunity to play Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin, so I know what we're getting into," he said. "When you combine that with McNeese, Nicholls, Central Arkansas -- there are some great coaches and great programs. I know we have our work cut out for us."
The Cardinals have nine returning starts including senior Phillip Baptiste, who averaged 20-plus yards per catch last season.
Junior Sean Brophy was mentioned by Morris but UIW's quarterback battle is ongoing.
"Nothing is set in stone. We have Sean Brophy back," Morris said. "He played a little bit last year and there are about three other guys who are in the mix."
Morris says his coaching staff is strong and is one of the things he is most proud of in his life.
"In my early adult life, you know I'm not a baseball guy, but I've hit three home runs: My first home run was marrying my wife, Maggie; she's way out of my league. My second home run was having my child, Jack, who is two and a half years old. And my third home run would be hiring the staff that I hired at UIW this year," he said. "I couldn't be more blessed than to be around a great group of guys."
UIW kicks off the 2018 campaign on Sept. 1 at New Mexico.

Trinity had over 2,000 votes in all three rounds.
"Thank you to Addix Gear and the Great American Giveback for investing in our nation's schools. We also want to thank the local community of Trinity, North Carolina for your tremendous effort and enthusiasm in support of this worthy cause. Trinity High School entered this contest to honor a student-athlete who recently suffered a terrible family tragedy. Thank you again, to Addix Gear, who has provided another opportunity for our community to rally behind our student-athlete. #BuiltTylerTough" – Dr. Brian Toth – Principal Trinity High School
Here is Trinity's cause game description: This will be a football jersey. We will be dedicating this Jersey to one of our players named Tyler Bova, who is a defensive back and receiver for our Trinity High School Football team. As of last week Tyler lost his Father, Mother, and 11 year old brother in a car accident while on vacation. At the moment Tyler is in critical condition and is fighting for his life. We are praying and believing that Tyler is going to pull through. Tyler was originally given a 20 percent chance to live and each day that goes by he is defying the odds. He has had multiple surgeries and is continuing to fight and recover. This is not shocking to any of his family, coaches, or friends because he has always had a tremendous amount of fight. Tyler embodies everything good about a high school athlete. His work ethic and determination to get better is second to none. He is a coaches dream and does all of the little things right. His attitude, intensity, and effort is contagious and he leads by example. He gives every area of his life 100 percent. We would love to be able to honor Tyler with these new jerseys and reveal the jerseys at a fundraiser game to help Tyler's family with the major expenses coming their way. Our Community has rallied around Tyler in this tough time and it would be very special to be able to dedicate a new team uniform in Tyler's name.
Result – Trinity won by 1,903 votes.

Both Forest Hills Northern and Sumner Academy had gone back and forth with Forest Hills Northern coming out on top. The Huskies overcame a lot of votes from Sumner Academy on Facebook to get the win by winning the Twitter poll and having more Instagram comments. Forest Hills Northern Head Football Football Coach Matthew Moffett told us "We are thankful for the opportunity to have our Mike Sadler Foundation football game on September 28th with the help of Sports Addix. Addix has done an amazing job helping promote community and school sports through various events and we're very glad we get an opportunity to be a part of this. Our entire community would like to thank Addix for their help in our event! "
Here was Forest Hills Northern's cause game description: This is the high school that Michael Sadler graduated from. My son Joshua Wierenga is a Senior on the football team and was Michael's ball boy when he kicked for FHN. Joshua also attended games with his mother Karen at MSU and Michael always made time for Josh. Michael was an inspiration not only to my son but many others at FHN. Michael's academic and athletic ability were amazing but his character, humor and love of life were truly amazing. He will forever be remembered at FHN. We want to honor him and the foundation that his mother is so passionate about.
Result – Forest Hills Northern won by 418 votes.
Cancer Awareness Category
Carrollton HS (Ohio)
In one of our most competitive categories, it was Carrollton High School in Ohio who came out on top. After grabbing an early lead, Carrollton was trailing Hudsonville High School in Michigan by less than 100 votes with under 24 hours to go. Hudsonville had an incredible amount of Instagram votes, but it was the Facebook votes from Carrollton that pushed them over the edge. A huge late push by Carrollton gave them the victory by over 400 votes thanks to those Facebook comments as well as a win in the Twitter poll.
"I am really proud of our community. This is community based town, and they really got behind this giveback. I also want to tip my hat off to Addix on seeing the need of giving back to cause events. It's something we really try to teach our kids at Carrollton, the importance of giving back and paying it forward. These jerseys are definitely going to put our annual cancer awareness game over the top!" – Carrollton High School Head Football Coach Phil Mauro
Here was Carrollton's cause game description: As a Football Program at Carrollton HS we have been sponsoring our Cancer Awareness Game for the past 7 years. This game always takes place in October with our players wearing everything from wrist bands, to mouthpieces, to shoe laces, to tape in pink. We also select a member of our community who is either currently receiving cancer treatment or in remission from their cancer as our Honorary Game Captain. We read a short bio on this individual and have them participate in the pre-game functions with our team captains and the call the choice for the coin toss. This has always been a tremendous event for both our Football Program and The Carrollton Community. If we could secure pink jerseys to wear for this game that would put this event, "Over The Top!"
Result – Carrollton won by 466 votes.

Snowflake had a lot of unique Instagram comments which gave them the edge.
"Our 9/11 Tribute Game was started by our players and it has taken off to our student body and our community. It is the best game of the season." – Snowflake HS Assistant Coach Bryan Lang
Here was Snowflake's cause game description: Our football team for the past four years has done a 9/11 night. Our school allows military and first responders into the game for free. Our entire team will run out on the field with American Flags. At half time our student council does a tribute and has a giant rodeo flag that the students pull for this tribute. This was started by our football players and student council, we as coaches just supported the idea. We don't have the budget to get these jerseys, so winning this would be a big deal to our students and to our football players. Thank you for your consideration
"We like so many schools in America we always did something special when 9/11 fell on a game night, a few years back as I was organizing what I wanted to do for our varsity football game. Our student council started to organize a special program before the game, at halftime, and after the game. Here are a few pictures and videos from what we call "Heroes Game" where we allow all Veteran's, Active Duty Military, Law Enforcement and Firefighters into the game for free as our school shows our Patriotic Spirit:

Gilda's Club Category
Fruitport HS (Michigan) and Leto HS (Florida)
Congratulations @FRTPRT_FTBLL on winning the Great American giveback! These uniforms will be on display 9/14 to help fight cancer and raise funds for @Gildas_Club_GR@MHSAA #addixgiveback learn more here https://t.co/qqP5dnhy5C pic.twitter.com/qOACTY2gjs
After the conclusion of the voting at 2:00AM EST on August 2nd, the counting began in our categories. Two schools, Fruitport High School (MI) and Leto High School (FL), had separated themselves from the competition. The two schools however could not be separated from each other. After eliminating duplicate votes, eliminating votes from those who did not follow our social media pages, and counting up all of the good votes the two schools were separated 7 votes. We went to thoroughly recount every one of the votes confirming the fact that both schools were within 7 votes of each other. It was determined with such a fine margin (.003%), we would award both schools.
"We want to credit our new head coach Nate Smith for the initial step of getting us involved in this giveback. It was a community wide effort. As we continue to expand the Trojan Strong initiative, to have these jerseys supplied is a great way of getting this all started. We appreciate the efforts of Addix for putting on this contest and for all Coach Smith has done for this." – Fruitport Athletic Director Ken Erny
"We are definitely excited to win this contest, wear these jerseys, and put on this game. We have a lot of kids in our school and community who have either been affected by cancer or know people in their lives who have affected by cancer. To be able to honor those battling this terrible disease with names on the back of the jerseys and to have a group like Gilda's Club involved will be a really special event for us." – Leto High School Head Football Coach Joey Jame
Here is Leto's cause game description: Our cause game is for cancer awareness. In conjunction with this we also want to raise awareness for the losses people suffer due to cancer. I always ask my players if they know anyone who has ever been affected by cancer and every time all my kids raise their hands. People suffer losses to this dreadful disease more than normal and it is ok for people to have certain emotions toward it. I lost my father to brain cancer when I was 10 years old. I am currently 29 and it still hurts to this day. To have a group like Gilda's Club where people do not have to grieve alone, is truly important. The goal of this awareness game is to let people know that it is ok to not be ok and that there is someone here for you always.
Here is Fruitport's cause game description: Fruitport runs a Trojan Strong game which will raise awareness for Gilda's Club and those fighting cancer.
Result – Fruitport and Leto Within .003%, both won by 372 votes.
We had some incredible cause games across all five of our categories. Thank you to all who voted, all those schools putting on cause games to benefit great causes, and a special congratulations to our Great American Giveback champions!https://t.co/qqP5dmZXe4

I was SO amazed by Onion Tears' cooking that I attempted two of her dishes: Ma po tofu and broccoli with ginger and garlic. I thought the Ma po was great — Mister Man said it was just at his chiliness threshold (almost too hot to enjoy). I sauted Chinese Broccoli (got it at a Vietnamese market here in town (called cai lang) and it turned out fab. Chinese broccoli is less flowery head, more leafy — sort of a combo between broccolli and greens. It is very tender and tasty. I LOVE broccoli and will use the chinese type more frequently. So, thanks Onion Tears for the inspiration. (BTW, we did eat brown instead of white rice).
Well, I finished "The Omnivore's Dillema" a few days ago and have moved on to "Fast Food Nation." I don't know why I've gotten on this industrial food thread . . . but the books are great. In between I read Suze Orman's "Women and Money," as part of my continuing education about real life issues. I was pleased to find that I have achieved some of the recommendations Suze makes — which for me has been no small feat. Like many people, I find issues of finance, investing, and money to be difficult to confront. Orman's book straightforwardly sets out a plan to fulfill basic financial and legal needs that women must take care of. I was watching Dave Ramsey last night and one woman called in saying her husband had just been thrown in the pokey for 10 years for financial misdeeds, she doesn't work outside the home, and he had always taken care of all financial matters. She hadn't a clue as to how to cope with the legal issues, bill paying, harassment by creditors, and looming foreclosure on her home. It was very sad (Ramsey hooked her up with a counselor to help her through). I guess it must be my middle-agedom that has caused me to reflect on these things, plus our flailing economy.
Anyway, it is freakin' cold out and I have class today . . . so, TTFN while I start the process of layering.

Q: JQuery to add (math) up values of inputs I have an html form, and I want to only show the last section of the form if the value of all the other inputs is <= 500.  Here is some simple html, mine is slightly more complicated, but it should be the same idea:

  <input type="text" id="retire" />
  <input type="text" id="child" />
  <input type="text" id="military" />
  <input type="text" id="nurse" />
  <input type="text" id="other" />

<input type="text">

And here my jQuery that doesn't get close to working :)
$('#addSection :input').keyup(function(){
  $('#addSection').each(function(){
    var totalAmt = 0;
    $(this).find('input').each(function(i,n){
      totalAmt += parseInt($(n).val(), 10)
    });
  });
});

//if totalAmt <= 500 then $('#random').show();

Any ideas on how to get it to add as the user goes through the form?  Thanks for the help, if you ahve any questions, I will answer quickly.

A: I'd suggest (on reviewing and subsequently rewriting my previous attempt):
$('#addSection').on('keyup', function(){
    var total = $(this).children().map(function(){
        return parseInt(this.value,10) || 0;
    }).get().reduce(
           function(a, b){
             return  parseInt(a,10) + parseInt(b,10);
           });
    $('#random').toggle(total <= 500);
}).trigger('keyup');

JS Fiddle demo.
References:

*

*Plain JavaScript:

*

*Array.prototype.reduce().

*parseInt().

*jQuery:

*

*children().

*get().

*on().

*toggle().

A: This should do the trick:
$('#addSection :input').keyup(function(){
    var totalAmt = 0
  $('#addSection :input').each(function(){
    totalAmt += parseInt($(this).val(), 10) || 0

  });
   $('#random').toggle(totalAmt <= 500);
});

Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/ZL3q4/2/

A: Try this:

    <input type="text" id="retire" />
    <input type="text" id="child" />
    <input type="text" id="military" />
    <input type="text" id="nurse" />
    <input type="text" id="other" />

    <input type="text">

$('#addSection :input').keyup(function () {
    var totalAmt = 0;
    $('#addSection :input').each(function (i, n) {
        if (parseInt($(n).val(), 10)) totalAmt += parseInt($(n).val(), 10);
    });
    if (totalAmt > 500) $("#random").show();
    else $("#random").hide();
});

The Olympic dream has come to an end for Rachel Schneider as she finished seventh in the women's 5000 meter at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
Schneider, of Sanford, Maine, ran in the second of two heats on Friday at a time of 15:00.07 ranking her at #17 putting her .52 seconds out of medal competition. The top five finishers in each heat move onto the final on Sunday.
The St. Thomas Aquinas graduate was making her first appearance in the Olympics after finishing third at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in June.
WHEN CAN YOU WATCH THE SEACOAST'S OLYMPIANS?
She has been chronicling her time in Tokyo on her Instagram page with a picture of herself in the Olympic Village after a run.
"Been here for less than a day but am blown away by the lay out, the dining hall, the sweet stuff from sponsors, and especially being in the same space as athletes from all sports and all over the world," Schneider wrote.
She then visited the Olympic Stadium which she said "brought the excitement to a whole new level!"
So far the Seacoast's only Olympic medalist is Jessica Parratto who earned silver with diving partner Delaney Schnell in the women's 10-meter platform synchronized diving.
Portsmouth rower Michelle Sechser finished fifth in the Women's lightweight double sculls at the Summer Olympics on Wednesday night.

Stage 4 was the team time trial, in which each team rides seperately to see who can get five guys to the finish line in the shortest time.

Superior NetProbe Drive Test tools provided via Comtest Wireless partner Orbitel, enable Huawei Turkey to gain acceptance from Turkish State Rail Operator, TCDD and Teknotel Enerji Telekomünikasyon A.Ş.
Comtest Wireless, independent experts in the field of GSM-R and ERTMS test and monitoring solutions, announce that its NetProbe Drive Test solution has been instrumental in enabling Huawei to gain acceptance for the new KSC line by Turkish State Rail Operator, TCDD.
Turkey's KSC line is a conventional line for passenger and freight traffic between the major cities of Kayseri, Sivas and Çetinkaya.
The need for continuous GSM-R coverage, even in tunnels and over mountainous terrain, presented some challenges to well-established GSM-R vendor, Huawei, who was selected to design and implement the SDH transmission and GSM-R components of the KSC project.
To gain acceptance, the Huawei Turkey GSM-R delivery project team needed to demonstrate both the continuous GSM-R coverage and that all necessary rigorous rail industry standards and EIRENE specifications were met. This is why project managers, Huawei Turkey contacted local Comtest Wireless partners, Orbitel.
Franco De Fazio, International Sales Manager at Comtest Wireless says "we supplied a trolley-based NetProbe Drive Test solution along with full training and technical support to the project team. This enabled Huawei Turkey to run customised, automated GSM-R tests every 100m along the line, use the post-analysis tool to identify potential issues and view multiple synchronous data displays (making it easy to track handover events and coverage performance etc).
Mr. Erhan Yavuzarslan, Project Manager of Huawei Turkey says "The KSC line is a significant milestone for Turkey and we are delighted it has received acceptance.

Q: Call external API (curl like) from PIG scripting language I am new to pig scripting and want to know what all I can do with it. I understand that pig is more like sql which helps you to fetch data and manipulate it but is there any way I can call external service or API to fetch the data and process it along with the data fetched from pigStorage() or cassandraStorage() ?

A: Pig isn't so much a peer to SQL as it is a scripting language that quietly provides abstractions to a number of common mapreduce patterns... But that's splitting hairs.  If you want to do something like call an external service then the way to do that would be to write (or reuse) an eval UDF function.  There are several kinds of UDF's and they are essentially exits into Java that let you code your functions any way you see fit.
Be careful, though. A call to an external service, performed once for each tuple, might take way too much time.  If the external calls are few in number then an eval UDF function might work.  If you want to make these calls for a large number of tuples then consider using an InputFormatType and a LOAD UDF to read the external data all at once and then join it with your original data using the regular pig operators and statements.

The federal government has recognized Pittsburgh as the starting point for the Lewis and Clark expedition.
It was America's first great effort to explore and chart the western United States and find a navigable water route across the continent to improve and increase commerce.
The trip covered about 8,000 miles from Pittsburgh to Oregon and took nearly three years, from 1803 to 1806. President Thomas Jefferson, who commissioned the expedition, chose Meriwether Lewis to lead it. Lewis invited William Clark, a skilled river man, geographer and mapmaker, to share leadership.
The federal government in 1978 established the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail from Wood River, Ill., to the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon but failed to recognize Pittsburgh as the expedition's starting point. Historians and advocates lobbied for years to include the 1,200 miles from Pittsburgh to Wood River.
The U.S. House and Senate on Feb. 12 approved the addition under the Eastern Legacy Extension Act. President Trump is expected to sign the bill within days, according to the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation.
Local officials said the designation would help increase regional tourism and possibly leverage federal and state grant money for cultural and historic attractions. McNulty said the designation could help generate funding for things such as the Old Stone Tavern dating from the late 1700s in Pittsburgh's West End and development of new riverfront trails.
Brenda Applegate, executive director of the Beaver County Historical Research and Landmarks Foundation, said the region has a head start in marking the trail. The organization through grant funding has established interpretive historic markers in six spots where the expedition stopped between Pittsburgh and the Ohio state line.
She said markers are located in Elizabeth, where a 55-foot keelboat was supposedly built for the trip; Baden, the site of America's first professional military training ground; Rochester, at the confluence of the Beaver and Ohio rivers; Fort McIntosh, in Beaver; Georgetown; and a spot known as the "Point of Beginning" at the Ohio state line, which was used as a starting point to survey the western United States.
Applegate said a seventh marker would be placed this spring in Duquesne Heights overlooking Brunot's Island in the Ohio River.
