NAIROBI, Kenya, February 16 – Sher Karuturi's 2-0 win over Sony Sugar on Saturday has catapulted them to the top of the Kenya Premier League standings. The flowermen are level on points with Red Berets and Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) who are second and third respectively and have four points after two matches.
Sofapaka are perched in fifth place after getting their league campaign off to the best possible start with a 2-0 win over Ulinzi Stars at the Coca-Cola stadium.
Ulinzi's loss sees them drop five places to ninth while Sofapaka will be hoping to boosts themselves further up the table when they play Tusker FC on Wednesday.
AFC Leopards dropped to one place off the bottom after suffering a 2-0 loss to Western Stima at Bukhungu stadium.
It has not being a perfect outing for 'Ingwe' so far after their first match against Nairobi City Stars a fortnight ago was abandoned due to crowd trouble with Leopards a goal down at the time.
Stima's first win of the season win saw them move up to sixth place.
Chemelil's 2-0 loss to Bandari sees them drop to eight place a spot behind the Mombasa based club who were bottom last week.
Agrochemicals have slid to tenth after a barren draw with KCB and their second tie in succession.
Mathare United and Gor Mahia were in continental action last weekend and are 11th and 14th respectively and will resume their campaign against City Stars and Thika respectively while Sofapaka will play Tusker FC at a yet to be announced venue.


International physicist Stephen Hawking saluted Birzeit University and the Arab- American University of Jenin on his official Facebook page for their vibrant and prominent role in the first ever Palestinian Advanced Physics School.
In close collaboration with academics at the Arab- American University in Jenin, Birzeit University and Scientists for Palestine (S4P) a group of international scientists who aim to promote science in Palestine, the Palestinian Advanced Physics School (PAPS) took place, funded by The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Sharing Knowledge Foundation (SKF), and hosted by the Arab- American University.
At the school, advanced master students in physics from several Palestinian universities in the West Bank listened to lectures and engaged in scientific researches. The school aims to provide master level students with an overview of exciting recent developments in modern physics that would normally not be part of the regular curriculum at their home universities. Unfortunately, students from Gaza could not participate due to restrictions on movement imposed by Israeli Siege.
The school is organized by physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, AAUJ, Birzeit, Cambridge, CERN, Cincinnati, and Southampton. All parties believe that efforts must be made to overcome the imposed restrictions by the occupation especially against scientists and their development and interaction with the world.
Hawking called for a fundraising initiative aimed at financing a second Palestinian Advances Physics School: "Please consider making a donation today to support science in Palestine".
The world famous British Scientist is a long-standing supporter for Palestine, young physicists and Birzeit University. Hawking visited the University in 2006 and lectured hundreds of faculty members and guests, and thousands of students, and joined the academic boycott of Israel.
In turn, Birzeit University has always encouraged academic research and innovative projects in scientific disciplines. The Science Faculty is comprised of four departments: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and Biochemistry, and offers undergraduate and graduate programs for their students.

Q: TypeError: Cannot read property 'rating' of undefined I'm using React to make call to a back-end API and retrieve an array of JSON objects. I am able to print the array of objects AND the individual objects to the console, but as soon as I try to access the values inside the object I get a Type Error. I'm using the flux framework. Here are my actions:
//ratingsActions.js

import dispatcher from "../appDispatcher";
import * as ratingsApi from "../api/ratingsApi";
import actionTypes from "./actionTypes";

export function loadRatings() {
  return ratingsApi.getRatings().then(ratings => {
    dispatcher.dispatch({
      actionType: actionTypes.LOAD_RATINGS,
      ratings: ratings
    });
  });
}

And my store:
//ratingsStore.js

import { EventEmitter } from "events";
import Dispatcher from "../appDispatcher";
import actionTypes from "../actions/actionTypes";

const CHANGE_EVENT = "change";
let _ratings = [];

class RatingsStore extends EventEmitter {
  addChangeListener(callback) {
    this.on(CHANGE_EVENT, callback);
  }

  removeChangeListener(callback) {
    this.removeListener(CHANGE_EVENT, callback);
  }

  emitChange() {
    this.emit(CHANGE_EVENT);
  }

  getRatings() {
    return _ratings;
  }
}

const store = new RatingsStore();

Dispatcher.register(action => {
  switch (action.actionType) {
    case actionTypes.UPDATE_RATINGS:
      store.emitChange();
      break;
    case actionTypes.LOAD_RATINGS:
      _ratings = action.ratings;
      store.emitChange();
      break;
    default:
  }
});

export default store;

//component
  const [ratings, setRatings] = useState(ratingsStore.getRatings());

  useEffect(() => {
    ratingsStore.addChangeListener(onChange);
    if (ratingsStore.getRatings().length === 0) loadRatings();
    return () => ratingsStore.removeChangeListener(onChange);
  }, []);

  function onChange() {
    setRatings(ratingsStore.getRatings());
  }

console.log(ratingsStore.getRatings()[0]) ;

Now, in my component I try to do console.log(ratingsStore.getRatings()[0];) which returns an object as in this image:

but if i try to do console.log(ratingsStore.getRatings()[0].rating;) I get the error as in the subject. What is wrong here??
UPDATE: Ok I'm even more confused now. when I export window.ratings=ratings to the browser, I am able to access every field from the objects in the array, for instance ratings[0].teamName and it prints to the console. Yet ratings[0].teamName still does not work in the application...

Sudbury native to run in memory of late father, Judge Paul Healy
Brad Avery @BradAvery_MW
Aug 30, 2016 at 7:55 PM Aug 30, 2016 at 7:55 PM
Sarah Healy said her late father, Paul F. Healy Jr. taught her the importance of giving back to the community.
Healy, 38, is running in the Oct. 9 Boston Athletic Association's Half Marathon to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in honor of her father, who served as a judge in Framingham District Court from 1987 to 2010. Paul Healy died in April of acute myeloid leukemia, which he was diagnosed with in January 2015. He was 75 years old.
"I wanted to show how much he got out of being a part of the Dana-Farber community," Healy said. Her father received chemotherapy treatment at the renowned cancer hospital and later underwent a clinical trial that, while not ultimately effective, gave him a good quality of life for five extra months.
Paul Healy move to Sudbury in 1975 where his children grew up. Sarah Healy currently lives in Brighton and is a fifth-grade teacher in Cambridge public schools.
Healy said she has run 5Ks and 10Ks before, but never a half marathon. A half marathon was always a dream, she said, but she was scared to commit because of the threat of failure. But it was her father's teachings that gave her the courage to follow through and take the plunge into the 13.1-mile run.
"He always told us if you start something you have to finish it," she said.
Since July, Healy has raised $1,535 for Dana-Farber and she hopes to reach $2,500, though that goal is arbitrary. Her message is to carry on her father's spirit of giving back. While he loved his job as a judge, she said, he hated sending people to prison. He much preferred drug court, where offenders had an opportunity to go to rehab and get the help they needed. Even after his retirement, Paul Healy did charity work to help underprivileged communities.
"He felt a lot of pride that I became a teacher, like he passed down that sense to give back," Sarah Healy said. "When I think about my father's illness and what a challenge it was, I think of all the best qualities of my dad. His courage, his positive attitude, I saw that amplified. He focused on living his life day by day and while a lot of people when they get a diagnosis have a bucket list of things they want to do, he didn't have one. Family was so important and his only wish was to spend the last year of his life with us."
Healy has a donor page online at www.rundanafarber.org where anyone can contribute.

Our TrueView Interview section is an area where we ask one singular question, to mobile photographers and artists and it is captured to video. This time, I have asked mobile artists to consider their work within a story telling/narrative framework. My thoughts behind this, include an 18th century thesis, 'Laocoon: An Essay on the Limits of Painting and Poetry', Gotthold Lessing argued that although painting could not communicate narrative in the sense of telling a story, it could imply drama by aspiring to capture the "pregnant moment". In photography, this idea thrives as the "decisive moment" first introduced by Henri Cartier-Bresson and his followers. Therefore, my question to a mobile artist we hugely admire, Deborah McMillion from the USA [with the above in mind], is "how you build your image to express or allude to some sort of story. Do you plot, or not? How do you define it? McMillion has created an incredibly powerful and artistic video, please enjoy!
One of the many things that I love, so so much about our TrueView Interview section within TheAppWhisperer.com is the feeling that I am personally having a conversation with the artist whom I have asked a question to. This is one of the many good things about social media, the ability to get closer to all of you, even though we are separated by thousands of miles, in many cases. It is completely apparent in this new TrueView Interview with Lynette Sheppard when she considers her work within a story telling/narrative framework. My thoughts behind this, include an 18th century thesis, 'Laocoon: An Essay on the Limits of Painting and Poetry', Gotthold Lessing argued that although painting could not communicate narrative in the sense of telling a story, it could imply drama by aspiring to capture the "pregnant moment".

It has been a busy cookie baking week! SP & I baked some last Sunday, then Tuesday/Wednesday my mom came over and helped me make 3 kinds, and today I made pizzelles. I think Mom wanted to make sure I made her Chocolate Dipped Crescents.
Otherwise, not much going on besides wrapping gifts and other holiday related preparations. We are hosting the families for Christmas Eve so we're getting ready for that.
We're caught up on our shows, even the baking championship shows.
We've been watching The Punisher on Netflix. We're enjoying it a lot - it's much better than Iron Fist!
Nothing. I have no idea where the day goes, but I've had no time and no interest in tackling the magazine pile.

Mugs Stump Award
Helander/Holden—Revelation Range, Alaska
Redemption in the Revelations — The first ascent of the Ice Pyramid
The past year had been boiled down and rendered into the monumental moment before us.
Crampons clicked on, backpack straps tightened and deep breaths echoed throughout the upper fork of the Big River Glacier. Seth and I looked each other in the eyes under the pre-dawn purple sky. "Hey man, this is it" I said, eyes focused and intent. We bumped fists and he nodded. "Let's get it."
The Revelation mountains, a sub-range located at the southwestern most portion of the Alaska Range. were first explored in 1967 by Dave Roberts, Art Davidson and friends. During their 57-day stay, they climbed a handful of beautiful peaks and named many others. Since their visit, less than twenty parties have ventured into these formidable mountains. With peaks ranging from six to almost ten-thousand feet, the Revelations are not high by altitude standards. However, their vertical relief can be huge and many are reminiscent of their northern brethren, the Kichatna Spires, some seventy-miles away.
Aside from the obvious positive qualities of such an untamed range, the Revelations are known to be capable of producing some of the most heinous weather imaginable. Likewise, simply getting to the mountains is exorbitantly expensive and few pilots are willing to even fly there.
This was Seth's and my second trip to the Revelation mountains. Last season the two of us along with Steve Sinor made a foray into the rarely visited alpine mecca. All of us were instantly infatuated with an unclimbed 9,250-foot peak apparently called the Ice Pyramid. We made two attempts on its prize, the southwest ridge, but turned around on the eighteenth pitch on day three when it became apparent that we were crossing a point of no return. Regardless, we left with the first ascent of a beautiful 8,385-foot peak we named the Exodus. It was however, a mere secondary consolation to the Ice Pyramid. From there on out, the Ice Pyramid filled our heads with aspirations by day and occupied our dreams at night.
Thanks to a Mugs Stump Award we received a second chance at the peak, this time unfortunately without Steve. Seth and I flew in once again with Rob Jones of R&R Guide Services, one of the coolest guys I've ever met and definitely the air master of the range.
As we roped up on that culminating morning, a familiar expression covered Seth's face. He looked at me, through me, his mouth slightly open and teeth biting his tongue. He was focused and concentrated, completely in the zone. Such a sight made me smile and propelled my confidence all the more. The first few pitches put us a good distance off the ground and Seth's block seemed to pass with finesse and ease. On our second attempt the year prior, we had climbed ten pitches the first day, a mere five the second and three the next before bailing. This year we aimed to climb fifteen pitches on day one and make it to a bivy we called the cave.
So far things were looking up. Pitch after pitch and hour after hour fell behind us as we cruised the known terrain. After 14.5 hours on the go, we pulled into the cave and took to relaxing. The Alaskan sun was still high in the sky at 7 PM and even at ten it showed no signs of disappearing any time soon. The next morning we were up at four and on the go soon after.
A short, awkward move out of the cave led to one of the crux pitches of the route. Since I had led it last year, Seth took it this year just for fun. We quickly reached our previous highpoint and bypassed it by traversing under a series of gendarmes. Deep and unconsolidated snow over slab still took forever to overcome. More vertical wallowing under a massive cornice put us into the sun where conditions rapidly improved. Seth climbed a steep snow pitch to a knife edge ridge, where several long blocks of steep simul-climbing interspersed by short rock steps put us directly under the summit ridge. At a phallic looking outcrop we called the wiener rock, I belayed Seth up and then beyond. He burrowed through the cornice and hauled me up. The Ice Pyramid, an object of obsession and dedication, sacrifice and commitment was ours.
Sweat dripped into our eyes as the sun beat down upon us. A panorama of breathtaking unclimbed peaks pulled our eyes in every direction. The southwest ridge lay below like a semi-coiled snake in the ready-to-strike position. With such a beautiful day, we decided to enjoy lunch on a flatter subsidiary summit where we unroped and proceeded to walk to a flat spot overlooking the Swift glacier. Following Seth, I suddenly found myself falling. Arms and legs instinctively braced wide and in an instant I was eye level to his boots. I figured I had simply fallen into a rock moat, but quickly realized the contrary. Cold dry air blew up my face as my legs kicked into nothingness. "Shit! Seth! Oh my God! I'm in a Crevasse. Help!" He briefly stood there, not quite sure what to do. My crampons kicked into the side walls and I tediously heaved myself out. My heart rate slowed to only about 180 beats per minute and the trembling in my hands soon subsided, but the incident had left me shaken. The fact that I was unroped told me that I was very lucky to even be alive. After a while, we climbed back down the other side where we made several rappels to a small bivy platform.
In the morning after more three rappels, I thought back to the previous year. A stuck rope high on the northwest face still resonated loudly in my head. A new thought, "Seth, we can rappel into this couloir on the southwest face and down climb the whole thing, then be off this mountain in two hours. What do ya' think?" Though tempting, it was exceedingly risky since it would put us in a different valley and the threat of rockfall was ever present. Seth cautiously took the bait and we rapped over the edge of the southwest ridge, a point of no return. Two more rappels put us on fast terrain and we down climbed the entire couloir in less than two hours. The whole time, fighter jets from Anchorage's Elmendorf Air Force base flew low over head. Needless to say, our guests kept us terrified as their near sonic booms sounded just like eminent rockfall. Both of us breathed a sigh of relief once out of the gully.
A crucial pass, one we thought Dave Roberts had taken as part of his "Butterfly Traverse" in 1967 proved to be nonexistent from the Swift side. When we got to the top of what we thought was the pass, we found only a rock wall of completely shattered shale on the other side. An attempt to traverse a shale band set off a slush avalanche that took everything over a cliff. "Shit," I said, "what now?" Seth had that same look on his face, but this time the intense concentration seemed to be lacking. The confidence had been replaced with wariness and trepidation. "Ugh, I don't know. Let's go down and see what we see from the bottom," he said.
We had enough food to camp out and decide in the morning when the snow was firmer, so we set up the tent and contemplated our options. It seemed as if the Ice Pyramid was playing a game with us. What had been a difficult but relatively fluid climb had become marred by an unnerving descent. "Hmmm, I wonder how many days down the river Lime Village is," I thought. The answer...120 miles by river. "Well, I guess we'll try again tomorrow," Seth said.
During the evening we pondered Mount Mausolus to the south, which Dave Roberts accurately described as a "hopeless labyrinth" in the 1968 American Alpine Journal. In the morning, exhausted but determined to find a way over the pass we tried again. It just didn't seem to make sense. The pass was beautiful from the Big River side, but on our side it appeared to be a 400-foot cliff. What was the deal here?
As Seth and I got to the top of the shale pinnacles, we were enveloped by a localized whiteout. "Dude...what the..." I said as I shook my head and threw my arms up. "Just let us go!" We both knew that we couldn't be more than a few pitches above our skis and that no matter where we were, the rock band was minimal. With a short clearing in the clouds we peered over and saw the glacier about 500-feet below. Several manky rappels brought us closer to salvation. At the third rappel off a dead-manned picket, 30-meters followed by a 10-to15-meter rock band was all that separated us from the glacier. "That picket is bomber," I thought, "I hope." Sure enough, it held and a sense of completeness filled my body as I touched ground. Seth later told divulged that the picket shifted about three inches as I went over the vertical section. He came down and then we hiked to our skis and excitedly skied back to camp in a whiteout, still feeling the mountain's pull on us.
For the rest of the trip we toured the Big River complex and scouted other options. All however, paled in comparison to the Ice Pyramid. After a few days, Seth and I decided the next best route was yet another on the Ice Pyramid, a wide gash on the west face we called the Cataclysmic Couloir. 2,500-feet of steep snow and aerated ice culminated into the northwest ridge where an icy wishbone arete loomed omnipotently above. We made good time up the couloir, climbing it in two 1,000-foot blocks followed by several pitches of belayed and simul-climbing. The glaciated ice above looked to be AI5+/6 and with only four ice screws and a picket belay, bailing seemed the only logical option. After five picket and crappy v-thread rappels we hastily down climbed the remaining 1,700-feet. With one final look at our prize and an amazing ski back to camp, we decided to pack up and head out. Over the next three days we scoped future objectives and relaxingly hiked 21-miles down the Big River to Rob Jones' lodge.
For us, the Ice Pyramid represented not only the culmination of a year of training and obsession. It represented a dream come true through sheer will, faith and the support of the Mugs Stump Award. The southwest ridge of the Ice Pyramid (Alaska Grade 4/5 5.8 60-degrees 2600') definitely brought out the best of both of us. Without a doubt, this was the most lay it out there, remote and consistently challenging climb we have ever done. Its ascent, as well as the descent demanded everything from us. Nothing came easy and the reward was well worth the effort. So, to everyone involved in the Mugs Stump Award: thank you for the opportunity to fulfill a dream!

Air Force Special Ops - Combat Controller Training
••• Stocktrek Images / Getty Images
By Rod Powers
Combat controllers set up air traffic control and perform close air support in remote locations. And it takes some time to groom them — more than 24 months from start to finish. Often they deploy into other military special ops teams as not only the JTAC - Joint Terminal Attack Controller, but as the expert in air traffic control, fire support, and air-ground communications with both fixed and rotary assets. CCT's are certified Air Traffic Controllers as well.
Trainees go from basic to advanced special operations skills. Physical, mental and emotional toughness are essential. In fact, the minimum standards just to get your foot into the door for training are the following
CCT PAST (Minimum Standards)
- 2 x 25 meter underwater (Pass/Fail, 3 min between each) with 10 min rest
- 500 meter swim (freestyle, breaststroke, sidestroke), max time 11 min 42 sec with 30 min rest
- 1.5 mile run, max time 10 min 10 sec with 10 min rest
- Pull ups in 1 min, 8 minimum reps with 3 min rest
- Sit ups in 2 min, 48 minimum reps with 3 min rest
- Push ups in 2 min, 48 minimum reps with 3 min rest
- 3 mile - 50 lb ruck march in under 45 minutes
It is not recommended to stop your progress at the minimum standards. You will need your fitness levels to be higher than these standards to be successful and survive the cut.
The Combat Controller Training Pipeline
After the Candidate Course there are two different professions with two different pipelines (but similar) to follow depending on if you want to be a PJ or CCT. Here is the PJ and CCT pipeline of training:
Basic Military Training – 8.5 weeks of training. CCT Recruits can request upon enlistment to join the CCT program if they qualify, so they will know if they get the opportunity to attend CCT training during the recruiting process IF they maintain standards.
Battlefield Airman Prep Course - All battlefield airmen candidates (PJ, CCT, SOWT, and TACP) attend an 8-week prep course. The goal of Prep is to rebuild the Airmen for a more challenging training program in the Air Force Special Operations Command.
CCT Selection is a two-week-long Combat Control Selection Course at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. The selection course focuses on sports physiology, nutrition, basic exercises, combat control history and fundamentals. After selection, the CCT recruit will attend the Combat Control Operator Course located at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi. The CCT Operator course is 15.5 weeks long where the recruit will learn all the skills to specialize in air to ground communications, aircraft capabilities, navigation, and more. Finally, the 12-week Combat Control School is offered to make this warrior highly capable to perform air traffic control, air-ground communications, and air support in any environment in the world.
During the Advanced Skill Training, the additional military training the CCT endures makes the special operator. Learning to jump from planes, combat SCUBA dive, are just a few of the advanced military training received by these special operators will learn in the next 12-15 months.
US Army Airborne School - 3 weeks
US Army Combat Divers School - 4 weeks
US Navy Underwater Egress Training - 1 day
US Air Force Basic Survival School - 2.5 weeks
US Army Free-fall Parachutist School - 5 weeks
CCT's and the Team
The goal of training is to teach the skills needed to call in air strikes and more, but most importantly, it is about taking a group of men and forming a disciplined team. Throughout their careers, with less than 500 officers and enlisted men assigned to the specialty, it's likely they'll work together at some point. So teamwork must be second nature.
Once the CCTs have completed all the above courses, they get stationed at the various Special Tactics Squadrons around the world such as Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, Hurlburt Field, Florida, Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, Pope Field, North Carolina, Kadena Air Base, Japan, RAF Mildenhall, United Kingdom.
Training Is Never Done
When in the Air Force Special Operations, the CCT learns many ways special operations forces get to work. That includes parachuting — both static line and free fall, scuba diving, land navigation, vehicle and boat.
After they become static-line parachutists, sporting more than 100 pounds of gear on their backs when they hit the ground running, students jump into a more demanding and dangerous skill. The highlight of the phase for most students is military free-fall parachuting.
Combat ready
When they deploy, Combat Controllers are battlefield airmen and are responsible for the close coordination of airstrikes, aircraft traffic control of fixed wing, helicopter gunships, and unmanned drones flown by different branches of the military. CCTs are vital to ground personnel in Afghanistan after combat troops were scaled back in the 15-year war, supporting Afghan troops with airstrikes and aerial surveillance missions in order to fight back the Taliban and ISIS.

SAP reports itself to SEC over Gupta scandal
By Gabriele Steinhauser
Published: Oct 26, 2017 4:50 a.m. ET
GabrieleSteinhauser
JOHANNESBURG--German software maker SAP SE (SAP.XE) said it reported itself to U.S. authorities after finding that it paid 94 million South African rand ($6.6 million) to a company with ties to South Africa's controversial Gupta family to secure contracts with state-owned enterprises.
The Guptas are at the center of a corruption scandal in South Africa for allegedly using their close relationship with President Jacob Zuma to amass personal wealth. The Guptas and Mr. Zuma have denied wrongdoing.
The scandal has drawn in several international companies, including KPMG International and McKinsey & Co., which have both launched internal probes to investigate their ties to the Guptas but denied wrongdoing.
SAP is the first Western company to say that it may have broken anticorruption laws in the U.S. by making payments to a company tied to the Guptas.
SAP said it paid a total of ZAR94 million to a company tied to the Guptas between December 2015 and November 2016 for helping it secure four contacts with South Africa's state-owned rail and port operator, Transnet, and the state power company Eskom.
The contracts earned SAP around ZAR660 million.
The company said it had initiated disciplinary action against three staff members in relation to what it said were "indications of misconduct."
SAP launched an internal probe into alleged payments to Gupta-related companies after they were reported by South African media in July.
Preliminary findings from the probe, however, show that SAP's ties with Gupta-related companies went on for longer than previously reported.
It said that between December 2016 and June this year, it secured two further contracts with Eskom with the help of a Gupta-related entity. However, it said it hadn't yet received any revenue from those contracts or made any payments to the Gupta-related entity.
SAP said it has made presentations to prosecutors at the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.


When there is excitement in your life, your heart begins to beat faster. This is a natural reaction. For that reason, it is good to ponder whether your heart ever beats for God? Do you allow yourself to become caught up in a holy awe of the presence of God? Do you become excited about the mission that God has given you? And, if so, do you ever find that your heart beats faster as you ponder the great mysteries of His love and Mercy? Your whole being must react to the majesty and splendor of our glorious God (See Diary #1728).
Try this simple examination today. Ponder the last time that you truly became excited over God and His holy Will. Was your excitement something that affected you so much that even your heart began to beat faster? Though this may not be an infallible sign of the presence of God in your life, it may reveal much more than you realize.
Lord, I desire that my heart beat for You every day. May I experience the joy and excitement of Your perfect glory and desire with my mind, spirit and even body, the fulfillment of Your Will. I love You, dear Lord. May my heart beat for You with great intensity and love. Jesus, I trust in You.

redock: A human friendly wrapper around Docker
==============================================

Redock is a human friendly wrapper around Docker_, the `Linux container
engine`_. Docker implements a lightweight form of virtualization_ that makes it
possible to start and stop "virtual machines" in less than a second. Before
Docker the use of virtualization meant conventional virtual machines with all
of the associated bloat. Docker makes it ridiculously cheap and fast to
start/save/kill containers. This opens up exciting new possibilities for
DevOps:

- Complex build environments can be split up into isolated containers where
  each container is concerned with the build requirements of a single project.
  If a project's build goes out of hand you just trash the container and go on
  your merry way :-)

- The correctness of automated deployment systems (and distributed systems in
  general) can be verified by using containers to host the configuration
  management server and agents.

- To be honest, Docker is so fast that I could imagine myself building a test
  suite of a complete cluster on top of it.

The last point is the reason why I started working on Redock. In my initial
experiments with Docker_ I found a lot of sharp edges (both in the lack of
documentation and in the implementation of Docker_ and its Python API) but at
the same time my fingers were itching to wrap Docker in an easy to use and
human friendly wrapper to try and unleash its potential.

What Redock gives you is Docker without all the hassle: When you create a
container, Redock will install, configure and start an SSH_ server and open
an interactive SSH session to the container. What you do with the container
after that is up to you...

Status
------

Redock should be considered alpha quality software. So far it has been used by
a single person (me). Right now it's intended for development work, not
production use. This might change over time, depending on my experiences with
Docker over the coming weeks / months (I'm specifically concerned with
stability and performance).

By the way the same can and should be said about Docker_ (its site says as
much). During heavy testing of Redock I've experienced a number of unhandled
kernel mode NULL pointer dereferences that didn't crash the host system but
certainly also didn't inspire confidence ;-). It should be noted that these
issues didn't occur during regular usage; only heavy testing involving the
creation and destruction of dozens of Docker containers would trigger the
issue.

There's one thing I should probably mention here as a disclaimer: Redock
rewrites your SSH configuration (``~/.ssh/config``) using update-dotdee_. I've
tested this a fair bit, but it's always a good idea to keep backups (hint).

I'm currently using Redock on Ubuntu 12.04 with Docker 0.6.3 and a Linux 3.8.0
kernel (as suggested in Docker's `installation instructions`_ for Ubuntu). I've
only just switched to these versions and it seems they may have solved the
stability issues I mentioned above (time will tell :-).

Usage
-----

You will need to have Docker_ installed before you can use Redock, please refer
to Docker's `installation instructions`_. You may also want to add your user
account to the ``docker`` group so you can connect to Docker without ``sudo``
(this took me a while to realize when I switched to Docker 0.6 :-). After
you've installed Docker you can install Redock using the following command::

    $ pip install redock

This downloads and installs Redock using pip_ (the Python package manager).
Redock is written in Python so you need to have Python installed. Redock pulls
in a bunch of dependencies_ so if you're familiar with `virtual environments`_
you might want to use one :-). Once you've installed Docker and Redock, here's
how you create a container::

    $ redock start test

If you run this command interactively and you start a single container, Redock
will start an interactive SSH_ session that connects you to the container. In
any case you will now be able to connect to the container over SSH_ using the
name you gave to the container suffixed with ``-container``::

    $ ssh test-container

This works because your ``~/.ssh/config`` has been updated to include a host
definition for the container. This means you can connect using rsync_ or
anything else which works on top of SSH_ (e.g. to bootstrap a configuration
management system). When you're done playing around with the container you can
save your changes with the following command::

    $ redock commit test

This command will persist the state of the container's file system in a Docker
image. The next time you run Redock with the same name it will create a
container based on the existing disk image. To kill and delete a running
container you use the following command::

    $ redock kill test

This will discard all changes made to the file system inside the container
since the last time that ``redock commit`` was used. The Docker image
associated with a container can be deleted like this::

    $ redock delete test

Naming conventions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the examples above the name ``test`` is used. This name is used by Redock to
identify the running container (created with ``redock start``) and any
associated images (created with ``redock commit``). By using multiple names you
can run multiple containers in parallel and you can suspend / resume "long
term" containers.

The names accepted by Redock are expected to be of the form ``repository:tag``
(two words separated by a colon):

1. The first part (``repository`` in the example) is a top level name space for
   Docker images. For example there is a repository called ``ubuntu`` that
   contains the official base images. Similarly Redock uses the repository
   ``redock`` for the base image it creates on the first run.

2. The second part (``tag`` in the example) is the name of a specific container
   and/or image; I usually just sets it to the host name of the system that
   will be running inside the container.

If the colon is missing the ``repository`` will be set to your username (based
on the environment variable ``$USER``).

Contact
-------

The latest version of Redock is available on PyPI_ and GitHub_. The API
documentation is `hosted on Read The Docs`_. For bug reports please create an
issue on GitHub_. If you have questions, suggestions, etc. feel free to send me

Pastor of the Day at the Iowa State Senate – Find Faith. Inspire Hope. Pursued by Grace.
On Tuesday, March 20th, I lead the Iowa State Senate in prayer at the start of the forty-second session day of 2018. I received an invitation and was the guest of Senator Mark Lofgren.
Iowa State Senate Chamber with Senator Mark Lofgren. I am joined by wife, Karen Landahl, and daughters – Analise, Linnea, and Norah.
My wife, Karen Landahl, along with our three girls were able to join me for the day at the capitol. We enjoyed the visit and are thankful for the opportunity to pray with the senators.
A quick visit to the office of Governor Kim Reynolds at the state capitol in Des Moines. Unfortunately, we were unable to meet with Gov. Reynolds.
Almighty God, bless your servants gathered here today at the Iowa State Senate as they serve Iowans this day and every day. We pray your Holy Spirit will guide and grant understanding as bill are discussed and votes cast. We pray for and trust in your Holy compassion as our state leaders' considered issues affecting Iowans.
We ask for you to bless us with the love of your servant Son, as we seek to find meaning ways to make life better for all especially the most vulnerable. Holy One, assist our Senators in using their authority to serve faithfully and promote justice.
We pray that in times of opportunity, make us a diligent people; and in times of peril, let not our courage fail as we step out in faith, trusting in your guidance. Bless our state with honesty, truth, and integrity. And Mighty Lord, let us always remember the generations who will come after us as we discern your preferred future for our state.
Ageless One, as we look toward Easter, gather us closer to you. Remind us that we are a loved and forgiven people—and that no one is ever beyond your grace.
We give you thanks for Jesus Christ and ask that this assembly may always know a Holy presence. We offer our prayers through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Colston Hall
People of Bristol being invited to have their say on future of Colston Hall
The venue will reopen in two years after undergoing a £48.8 million transformation
People of Bristol are being invited to have their say on the future of the city's most renowned music venue.
Colston Hall, which in June began a £48.8 million transformation to create a world-class music venue, will reopen in two years under a new name and with a new look.
Bristol Music Trust, the charity which runs the venue, is inviting people to have their say on the future vision of the Hall as part of the Together Through Music campaign, which includes an online survey, a series of community consultation days taking place in the New Year and a number of artistic projects and events.
The survey, which will be live from midday today (Wednesday 14 November), invites the public to feedback on how they engage with the Hall and contribute ideas to help shape a new vision for its role in the city - including a new name.
What Colston Hall's Main Hall will look like after the transformation
What's happening during the refurbishment?
The transformation of Colston Hall is about far more than a lick of paint and some new furniture - the venue will be completely unrecognisable when it reopens.
Perhaps most interestingly, the venue's cellar is going to be opened up for the first time in 150 years to create a new, intimate performance space and state-of-the-art education suite, while the main hall itself will also be revamped.
Hall our yesterdays, the entire history of Colston Hall: 150 years from radical roots to fires, fascists, Ella Fitzgerald and the Rolling Stones
The Lantern, a smaller venue within Colston Hall, is also going to be vastly improved to make it another first-rate performance space.
Louise Mitchell, chief executive of Bristol Music Trust, has said the work will turn the hall's main room into a 'beautiful' space which Bristol can be proud of.

Why is the name changing?
In April 2017, Bristol Music Trust announced the name change to end the perceived association with the slave-trader Edward Colston and refocus attention on the live music programme at the venue.
The debate over how Edward Colston is commemorated in Bristol has been ongoing for many years.

Colston was not a benefactor of the Hall, which was built 146 years after he died, and the decision to reopen under a new name was made unanimously by the Trust's Board, who stated at the time: "We want to look to the future and ensure the whole city is proud of its transformed Hall.
"The name Colston, and its associations with the slave trade, does not reflect our values as a progressive, forward-thinking and open arts organisation.
"We want everyone to feel like they can come to the Hall and enjoy amazing music."

How can people share their views?
In September an in-depth consultation process began to inform a new vision for the Hall and its role in the city.
To date this has involved a survey sent to 30,000 audience members, interviews with stakeholders including artists and funders, and a number of focus groups which included existing audience members and people who have not attended the hall before.

To take part in the online survey, which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, visit the Together Through Music Page.
The survey opens at midday today and will close on Wednesday, December 12.
Or you can visit one of the community consultation days.
The community consultation days take place on:
Thu 31 Jan – Redland United Reformed Church, Redland
Drop-in: 9am – 8pm
Mon 4 Feb – Easton Community Centre, Easton
Tue 5 Feb – Knowle West Media Centre, Knowle West
Thu 7 Feb – St Paul's Learning Centre, St Paul's
Mon 12 Feb – Greenway Centre, Southmead
Bristol Music Trust Chief Executive Louise Mitchell
"The name is more than a sign above the door."
Louise Mitchell, Chief Executive of Bristol Music Trust said: "The transformation of the Hall is a once in a generation opportunity to create a world-class centre for music that everyone in the city is proud of and somewhere that is open and welcoming to all.
"In order to achieve this, we'd like everyone who cares about music in Bristol to contribute to this creative consultation and help us shape a new vision for what the Hall can be, the role it can play in Bristol and the region.
"The name is more than a sign above the door, it must reflect what this new transformed building means to Bristol."
When will the hall reopen?
It will reopen sometime in 2020, although it is not currently known when exactly that will be.

Thank you for choosing to bike!
It wasn't Thanksgiving Day yet, but we felt we wanted to do something to show our appreciation to fellow bicyclists- those who choose a bicycle over a car to get to work. Therefore, we got an idea to pass out some treats to people who were passing by with their bikes.
First, Nellie made a prototype of the kind of treat we would be giving out.
Then she made a whole bunch more.
Last Friday evening, August 22nd, we handed them out to bike commuters coming off the Jack London Square ferries. Here are some photos of some of the folks we met.
Thank you to all of you who choose to go from point A to point B by bicycle!

I'll never forget the time I got my first broken heart and mom was out of town. Marilyn was there for me at 2:00 in the morning!!
Not only is she the best aunt, she is the BEST sister! Since Jim passed away, she always sends me gifts for Christmas, Valentine's day and my birthday.
I wish I could have been part of the shopping!
Lucky for me, Marilyn flies to Santa Barbara every chance she gets. My *favorite* weekends are the ones I spend with Aunt Marilyn...Shopping, spa treatments, and celebrity sightings till we drop!!
You are way too sweet, Jane!!!
Actually, you are the talented one and I love you!!!!!
I miss you Jane, I want a day to hang out with you until we cry!
She is the best aunt ever! Love her house and how sweet she is. When we lived in AZ and away from Grandma Susan, we would go visit Marilyn to get our "Grandma" fix. When we visited her on Halloween, she FILLED the girls buckets with candy and was so happy we came to visit. It was so fun shopping with you Marilyn - thanks for the many laughs!
How sweet! I can't wait to see your twins room when they get big girl beds, it will be beautiful I'm sure.
One question: Why didn't she call her other niece when she was in town?
It's clear who her favorite is.
That sounded like a lot of fun. What a wonderful fun family you have.

As Feds Debate Transportation Pay-Fors, Don't Forget What We're Buying
By Kea Wilson
Senators Shelley Moore Capito (Left) and Bernie Sanders (Right) have opposite views on how the U.S. should pay for new transportation infrastructure — but they both might be missing the forest for the trees. Both images via Gage Skidmore, CC.
As Washington celebrates a bipartisan infrastructure agreement, advocates are still wondering what, exactly, the bill will actually build — and whether the incessant chatter about pay-fors and intra-party compromise is eclipsing a more critical dialogue about how urgently American transportation policy needs to be reformed.
On Thursday afternoon, President Biden announced that he would throw his support behind the so-called Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework, which would inject $1.2 trillion into a range of mostly transport-related infrastructure priorities across eight years, paid for by a "couch cushion" scrounge mostly from existing programs. But save a list of big dollar amounts promised to vague top-line categories — e.g. $11 billion for "safety," which could mean anything from protected multimodal infrastructure to even more of the same pedestrian-blaming educational campaigns — the White House has not yet released the details of which priorities from Biden's original stimulus bid, the American Jobs Plan, survived negotiations with centrist lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.
Or to put it more simply: American taxpayers have no idea yet what their $1.2 trillion will actually buy —and whether the centrist vision will merely further enshrine car culture and all its violent impacts upon American lives.
That troublingly uncertain news comes as Washington continues an equally frustrating debate around the surface transportation reauthorization — yes, another massive infrastructure bill — that could also help radically reshape the way U.S. residents get around…or maintain the autocentric status quo.
But as committees in the House and the Senate frenziedly mark up some of the most consequential transport legislation in a generation, much of the public debate on the impending laws has been less about the actual substance of our transportation future than who will pay for it all. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va.) set off a flurry of thinkpieces when she drew a "non-negotiable red line" around raising corporate taxes to pay for transportation spending; soon after, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) drew his own line in the sand around raising gas taxes and instituting new fees for electric vehicle drivers, which are the GOP's and centrist Democrats' funding methods of choice.
As lawmakers spar, advocates fear that Washington is missing the forest for the trees — and throwing away one of the best chances in modern history to set a bold new vision for transportation.
"I am not comforted by the notion that big corporations will pay for transportation programs that will divide Black and brown communities," said Beth Osborne, executive director of Transportation for America. "I mean, the way we talk about this stuff is a little like we're trying to invest $100,000 into updating a home to get it ready to sell. If we build a spectacular new bathroom, great — but if we do that and the electric isn't up to code and the roof is falling in, that's obviously not a good investment. But, hey, at least jobs were created! [Laughs.] Particularly in the Senate these days —but it's really been Congress traditionally — their focus has been on making it rain. My focus is on making communities better places to live and getting people access to opportunity."
Osborne isn't surprised that partisan bickering over pay-fors has drowned out the conversation about how to reimagine infrastructure policy for the 21st century. Since surface transportation reauthorization only happens roughly once every five years — and infrastructure stimulus only once in a blue moon — few lawmakers employ more than a handful of staffers dedicated specifically to understanding transportation policy at a deep level. And for longstanding members of the Congress, memories of the days before the Highway Trust Fund went bankrupt in 2008 are still fresh, which does not always prepare them for a modern dialogue about right-sizing the country's road networks or adapting funding mechanisms for an era of accelerating climate change.
"We have not had a legit conversation about how to raise new money for transportation since Reagan," said Osborne, referring to the last time the federal gas tax was raised during the reauthorization process in 1982; the most recent increase was approved during a budget debate way back in 1993. "The conversation we've had ever since then is, 'Well, we've got all this money; how do we split it up?' But that's not the conversation anymore; we have a deficit. [A lot of lawmakers] don't get how to navigate that, because they've never had to do it before."
Not every infrastructure bill under consideration is so divorced from modern transportation realities. Osborne is particularly optimistic about the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's INVEST in America Act, which makes historic commitments to transit, biking, and walking while requiring states to fix highway infrastructure first before they build new roads, among a raft of other overdue safety, climate and equity reforms.
"The INVEST Act stops perpetuating the problems it's otherwise trying to improve," said Osborne. "I really like that approach to policymaking. What we've done in the past is say, 'Oh, the roads are so dangerous for bicyclists and pedestrians! Here's a billion dollars a year to fix it — and meanwhile, we'll spend $40 billion a year making even more dangerous roads for bicyclists and pedestrians, while letting states set safety targets where more people die.' And everyone seems to think that that's a great bipartisan win."
Osborne hopes that the INVEST Act can build the advocate support it needs to make its way into law. But it will take a lot of education for the American public at large to learn to cut through the noise about pay-fors and vague, top-line spending numbers, and start actually imagining everything their transportation landscape could be.
"The American people have been told, 'hey, no matter where you move, no matter what you need to do, we will give you a system whereby you can get in the car alone at the same time as everybody else in your community does to, and you won't have to slow down at all — and it won't cost you any more money,'" said Osborne. "That was just a lie. Anyone logical always knew it was a lie. But we've been telling people that for more than 65 years."

How Fed Infrastructure Money Enables Highway Boondoggles

This was another nice day in the delivery game. The threat of weather stayed away and the route was well planned. I actually had a problem with it being too early and too dark.
I will be posting part five of chapter two in the Book with No Name ASAP. This is the last part of chapter two so I will post a chapter 2 PDF and a Chapter 1 &2 PDF. The next part the beginning of chapter 3 will be posted on Saturday and examine the origin on the knights and the book. I hope to answer enough questions to keep the story moving. Also, I am sorry about the slight cliffhanger at the end of chapter 2.
Thank you for your time and attention. I hope you like or at least can tolerate the story.


HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REHEAT YOUR CURRY!
Remove the film but leave the Haggis, Neeps & Tatties in the wooden tray. Just make sure it's not placed close to any hot element or flame.
Add a spoonful of water to the haggis and gently stir in the water.
Place the wooden tray on an oven tray in the centre of the oven and reheat for 10 minutes, until piping hot.
If you have chosen to have the Whisky Cream Sauce, you need to transfer it in a saucepan and gently reheat it until piping hot, stirring gently occasionally. Or you can put it in the microwave until piping hot!


Today me and Pete had our first midwife appointment. We didn't really know what to expect as in the UK you don't tend to have a scan until you are 12 weeks, and I'm only 6 weeks pregnant at the moment! However we had been told that in Dubai you get a scan as early as 2-3 weeks, so we were a tad excited!
We turned up early, thanks to my control freak ways, and after the initial blood tests, height and weight checks and urine samples we got to see the little pea! It literally was a dot, and she told me that I was around 6 weeks, so it was too early to see a heartbeat. I'm so happy to have gotten to see our baby, even if there wasn't any reassurance that all was ok. Here's our first family photo, we think it looks like a rabbit!
Our 6 week scan in Dubai!
We're going back in 2 weeks to see if the heartbeat will show up, and to see if the little rabbit has gotten any bigger, eek I can't wait! I will update you all then!


Years ago, former Colorado football star Rashaan Salaam was standing on the sidelines at a game at Folsom Field when he was asked to leave by a security guard who had good intentions, but simply didn't recognize him.
"One of his more painful moments," former CU teammate Chad Brown recalled this week. "For a guy who was a very sensitive person, that struck him deeply."
The 1994 Heisman Trophy winner and one of the greatest players to ever wear a CU uniform, Salaam sometimes struggled with a perceived lack of recognition from the school.
On Saturday, the late Salaam, who took his own life on Dec. 5, was given the recognition he deserved at Folsom Field, as CU retired the No. 19 jersey he wore during his career in Boulder, from 1992-94.
CU held a ceremony after the first quarter, during which Salaam's No. 19 was unveiled on the façade of the east side of Folsom Field.
Salaam joins Bobby Anderson (No. 11, 1967-69), Joe Romig (No. 67, 1959-61) and Byron White (No. 24, 1936-37) as the only players to have their numbers retired by CU. It's the first time in 47 years that CU has retired a number in football.
"It's an honor for him to be able to get his jersey hanged; he deserves it," current CU running back Phillip Lindsay said. "He's our only Heisman winner, and he did a lot for this program while he was here."
Salaam's family and friends, including his parents, attended the ceremony. Anderson, Romig and the family of White were all on hand, as well. Legendary CU head coach Bill McCartney, who coached Salaam, was also on hand for the ceremony, along with several former CU players.
Salaam was the only player in program history to win the Heisman Trophy, when he rushed for a program-record 2,055 yards and 24 touchdowns in 1994. He finished with 3,057 yards and 33 touchdowns in his career.
"It's well deserved, obviously," Brown said. "I thought his Heisman Trophy was kind of the culmination of that era, where we gained some prominence on the field and with that comes national awards. For Rashaan to win the top player in college football spoke a lot about his season and himself as a player, but also where our program was at that time and the type of respect we had nationally."
More than 20 years after his final game at Folsom Field, Salaam is still revered by those who played with him and those who have followed in his footsteps by becoming Buffs.
Current CU players walk by Salaam's Heisman Trophy nearly every day and recognize the impact he has had on the program.
"It's a really big deal," CU senior captain George Frazier said. "He's the one guy that's won a Heisman for us. Knowing his history and knowing everything that he's done for CU, it means a lot."
Lindsay, who recently passed Salaam on CU's all-time rushing list, had a chance to meet Salaam and appreciated Salaam's humble nature. He also appreciated Salaam's talent.
"He was physical, fast, he could make you miss," Lindsay said. "He had the whole package. You don't get a lot of players like that. The man went out there and had 2,000 yards rushing.
"It's going to be an honor to watch his jersey retired."
It's an honor those who played with Salaam, too. While Salaam couldn't be there, Brown said it was special knowing many of Salaam's teammates were there.
"For that era of CU football, that brotherhood to come back together and celebrate his legacy in some ways is also our legacy," Brown said. "We can remember Rashaan, but we can also remember each other. Hopefully that kind of bond would prevent another tragedy from happening."
