As an e-learning developer, it's important to document your work experience and skills. One way to do this is with a professional work portfolio.
In previous posts, we discovered why you need a portfolio as part of your professional development. And we even looked at one community member who does a great job demonstrating her skills by showcasing her e-learning modules in her portfolio. Today, we'll look at a few things to consider when creating a professional portfolio.
Most people I meet don't maintain a portfolio. So before we get started, I'll give you two good reasons why you need to actively maintain a portfolio.
Most likely you don't own the e-learning software to create courses. Let's suppose you lose your job. Now you're scrambling to find a new job which means you need to pull together a portfolio. Oh no! You don't have access to the courses you built and you don't have access to the software to rebuild them.
When I posted a job for instructional designers, one requirement was to see the applicant's portfolio. More than 80% of the people told me they didn't have one and that they were interested in the job, but needed to create a portfolio. Which was fine.
You know what happened, though? I reviewed those applicants who did have works samples ready-to-go and they ended up getting interviews. By the time others sent me their portfolios, we were already into the second round of interviews of those who had them to start.
The main point of the portfolio is to show your work. It's easy to talk about what you can do, but in a multimedia industry (that's mostly visual) it's important to show what you can do.
Ideally, you can show real projects, but as we know that's not always possible. In those cases, you either have to create dummy versions of the courses or build your own modules. I prefer the "build your own" route. This way you can build demos that are more interesting than the typical type courses you may be forced to build at work.
What's in the Professional Portfolio?
The portfolio is intended to highlight your skills and experience. It's not supposed to be an exhaustive inventory.
Keep it short. No one likes to look at 800-slide courses where every screen looks the same. Find a few interesting (and interactive) parts of the course and show those. Or build some modules from the weekly e-learning challenges. That's what many in our community do. They're short and relatively easy to build. And perfect for a portfolio project.
Looks matter more than instructional design. It is a visual medium so make your visuals strong. Stay away from defaults and add some custom elements. Add some novel interactivity to catch their attention.
Identify common types of courses and build some modules for your portfolio. Here are a few: drag and drop interactions, decision-making scenarios, software tutorials, and custom navigation. This will give you a diversity of projects.
This can be listed as bullet points like above or just a simple statement, such as: At ACME we introduced a new processing machine and needed to train 5,000 employees. The onboarding course I created taught them XYZ and we had all employees trained in 2 weeks and saved a gazillion dollars.
Key point: no one wants to read the War & Peace version of your course. Keep it simple and provide just enough information.
Your peers are all over the Internet posting articles, sharing their work, and connecting with others. You can do the same with your portfolio.
Use it to build your brand. There are quite a few I've known over the years who I've seen grow their personal brand to the point where they're now recognized experts. For example, it was fun to see Jackie Van Nice at the recent Learning Solutions Conference get mobbed by people who recognized her work in the community.
Share your work. A great way to build your brand and expand the reach of your portfolio is to share your work. Build simple templates and give them away. Show your work and then share the source files when possible. To the person who values that source file, you're an expert. Montse Anderson does a great job sharing her nice-looking templates.
Build your network of peers. Many people make the mistake of just pushing their content out. The best networkers know how to pull people in. It's important to connect with others. But it has to be real. No one wants to feel like they being played, sold to, or sucked into some sort of multi-level marketing scheme.
Altruism is the first step. Share freely with no strings tied. Just know you're helping someone (perhaps thousands). Share as you learn. I love the way Melissa Milloway is always experimenting and then shows what she does. There's a humility in her approach that works and pulls people in because it's authentic and not just some salesy thing. You understand her learning journey and feel like you're part of it.
There are many reasons to have an e-learning portfolio. It's a good way to stimulate and document your own learning. But most importantly, it's a great way build your industry expertise and show what you can do. You never know when the next opportunity presents itself, but you want to be ready when it does.
Do you have a portfolio you'd like to share? If so, share it via the comments.
Great post as always Tom. Where do you think is the best place to house your portfolio? Should you post it to places like SlideShare or hold it privately only sending it to those who have expressed a desire to see samples?
Any chance the Articulate Roadshow will be coming to Ireland any time soon?
@Michelle: we were in Ireland in November. We are trying to develop a circuit and Ireland will fall into it. Not sure if it will work for this year, though.
Like many others, I've used the weekly Articulate e-learning challenges to build my portfolio. In fact, I couldn't have done it without the challenges to inspire me!
Tom, I cannot agree MORE about the importance of having a portfolio with work that you can actually showcase. Employers want to see your talent rather than just hearing about it and building Storyline demos is perfect for this! I've heard from many recruiters primarily because I have a portfolio that shows my knowledge of Storyline. They can see that I'm not a beginner and involvement in the challenges has given me content to add.


Everyone of us wants the perfect phone that makes us feel better and Believe me when I say your phone is your best friend as far as the 21st century is concerned with phones really becoming extra powerful.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is such a massive technology which sets itself apart from the older version of the "Galaxy S" line. It's huge and very impressive in many ways.
Although with some lags which might be a detriment to its totality, it's still the best Android device you can buy this year.
If you ask me why I think that it deserves such a heap of praise I would reply saying I really did had a very awesome time with the peers we reviewed here at Brumpost.
The 5.8 inch curved display with a nearly bezel-less design which now features the demise of the old Samsung's oval-shaped home button and its accompanying buttons (Previous and Option buttons) instead we saw a very beautiful phone with a very little bezels.
Screen buttons are now employed and a pressure sensitive button is all there to keep the device awake.
Bixby Samsung's junior AI virtual assistant gets a button of its own although wrongly placed below the volume key while Fingerprints Scanner might not be in a right position.
A nice 12MP camera captures a really awesome photograph in low-lights while also recording a huge 4k video is very possible. The Quad HD AMOLED display is a good VR headset ready.
Many things set this apart from its predecessor. Apart from the fact that all Samsung Galaxy smartphones released this year are curved and now feature a new look, they all feature amazingly high technology.
The S8 also is an IP68 rated smartphone which makes it a resistant to both Water and Dust.
Taking good the risk to submerge the device in the office's aquarium for a couple or minutes doesn't affect anything. It's just a very good thing to consider for those who are very adventurous. So taking selfies while swimming on water isn't a fiction.
Although the biggest dilemma is the battery. Not as strong as it's sibling the Galaxy S8 Plus which features a 3500 mAh battery although it comes at a price and it might be too huge for your liking, Samsung didn't make this one a very great battery despite its very nice features.
While the battery is way better than many smartphone in the same league as the Galaxy S8, an heavy user might have to always carry a Powerbank along whenever you're going for a huge event that will require you using your smartphone almost throughout that event.
USB-C is now included making fast charging a possibility while wireless charging is also featured. Memory is extensible with MicroSD card despite its huge internal storage.
Iris scanner is meant to recognise your face and save it for future security reasons such as unlocking. And it's blazing fast processor is just what sets it apart from all others.
Samsung Galaxy S8 is expensive. Fact!
There is a price for its beauty. For as high as $699, you can get a really nice Samsung Galaxy S8.
Aside having to drop a huge check to get one of these premium looking smartphone which brighten up your personality, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is by no means a completely unique in every way.
I mean it's quite unique but it's got its flaws too just like any other smartphone in the market.
Apart from the fact that it's been really redesigned to give a really sleeker look, there are still traditional features which are left on.
For example, the presence of an Headphone jack still makes us wonder why Apple ditched this hardware too soon. MicroSD and SIM Slot are all essential for Android users and Samsung is very considerate here.
As futuristic as it looked, it's a reality.
Despite its alien design, anyone can actually realise switching from an iPhone, LG or Huawei smartphone is worth it just to have an experience with the S8.
It was only before that there is a variant with curved screen but now the whole of Samsung's Flagships are curved on both sides of the screen.
It's beautiful and it's amazing. Samsung is simply a genius with the awesome design. But aside it's greatness, the fingerprint scanner position might not be at the right place to sit.
This takes you some forces to scan through since the scanner is situated right beside the camera.
The device is strong but not extremely strong.
It's screen is okay considering its Corning Gorilla Glass 5 coating but get, you're still going to need a casing to keep the device safe in case you might drop it.
Dropping my own copy slightly on the kitchen slide didn't give any noticeable cracks or scratches. The back of the phone and the front teeth glass are brilliantly curved into its metallic rim at the sides of the phone.
It's coating is a very great one which even when held doesn't show any sign of peeling off or whatsoever.
But worrying about accidents is a really good move which I why you should get a really cool casing which can help protect your phone from potential damaging or some unnecessary scratches.
Android culture where most manufacturers now uses on-screen navigation rather than any physical form.
Bixby has its own button on the left just below the camera which at times can be a confusing button to volume-down button. In many cases, I've accidentally tapped on Bixby thinking I was trying to lower the phone's volume but I was wrong.
Power button resides at the right side which keeps it farther away from being probably confused to The Lefties.
The device feels and looks awesome.
I personally give it a huge thumb-up. Samsung is though a trendsetter but I'd assume if they had copied Sony by placing the fingerprint scanner right at the side if the phone instead of the long way back, it might have been sexier.
Also, no more camera bump unlike the older version of the device. It's single 12MP camera sensor is way powerful and it's doing its job even better than ever.
It's way lighter despite the presence of Gorilla glass at its rear views. It's slim and fits so well easily into small hands.
Unlike Google Pixel that doesn't have a protection on its camera sensor, there is on the Galaxy S8 to keep things well better off in case you put down your phone on its back.
It can scratch off (Don't mind Gorilla glass though) and that won't be good for future use of your camera.
The Presence of USB-C goes a long way.
It's there to make transfers from and to PC and also fast charging your S8 within 1hour and fee minutes is just a plug away. Also, the headphone jack sits besides the USB port.
The headphone jack seems right even with third party headphones. The one that comes out if the box with the device is way awesome.
It sounds just right and I praise Samsung for still being considerate (even being old school can be way better) because the headphone jack still needs to stay.
5 8 inch screen might be your turn off considering the 4.7 inches on iPhone 8. Even the larger iPhone 8 Plus isn't this large. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone X has the same screen size although the latter is way smaller than the S8.
It's a very good point anyway since it's bigness is what makes it amazing and I love it.
The S8 has the most amazing screen you'd ever expect on a smartphone.
It's rich color and it's black and whiteness is as if you're gonna be picking out those things featured in it. Apart from just a mere word of mouth, if you turn on the phone, it's crystal clear display makes everything seem in order.
Watching HD videos or scanning through high resolution pictures just feel amazing. It's real cool and looks real.
It's a good bet for the Samsung Gear VR.
It works wonder and it's about being the best premium Android phone you'd have this year Anyway.
Although I have a big hand and a whopping 5.8 inch screen night feel right for my palm (wonder why I like big phones) but those who have smaller hands might feel cheated.
I mean come to think about it, 5.8 is a phablet. The older Galaxy Note 1 isn't as big as this. No wonder it's other sibling the S8+ is way huger with a 6.2 inch screen display.
IPhone 8 wins here as Apple tries to still keep their flagship as simple and brief as possible.
But that's not the story, the fact that the display seem huge doesn't make the phone huge. It's well crammed into its small form factor; although quite long. It has a screen ratio of 18.5:9.
So this would be a good news for gamers or entertainment enthusiasts assuming you're one. Watching movies just feels right and it's very clean.
The same goes for games. Although not all hands might take the entire screen which leaves you with some dark bars by each side of the screen.
But these can house the games control making it easier to play fighter games for example wherefore your hands won't block your actions.
Also, watching HDR videos which is a new feature for mobile on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video is now a possibility. The S8 features an HDR screen which makes video quality a really high quality which gives you a great entertainment experience.
More files more spaces. With the huge 64GB (No more memory variants like the older S7) and a MicroSD slot, you're not going to probably run out of space any moment soon.
Also it's Exynos 8895 or it's variant Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 system on chip works wonder as it gives it a lot of willpower to go through the biggest multiple tasking or huge applications usage without any hiccup.
"AKG" the headphone bundled with the S8 out of the box sounds much better than Apple's EarPod. Although it's not as amazingly powerful than the traditional headphones you'd find in your older Samsung boxes (Just a change of brand/manufacturer here might be a bit deceitful) but testing the difference doesn't seem very obvious but all in all, the general overview of the Samsung Galaxy S8 feels great and genuine with lots of premium quality attached to it.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 comes in two variations. The one with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and the other Samsung's very own Exynos 8895 chipset which is powered with a 4GB of RAM.
As far as memory is concerned, it's a huge 64GB of inbuilt storage although that can be way upgraded using a MicroSD card which had a slot just within the SIM tray. The addition of memory can go as high as 256GB.
For battery capacity you have a reasonable 3000 mAh battery. Samsung didn't do well about this for a high standard device but it's not a bad deal.
Screen is a 1440 X 2960 pixels which is equivalent to a 570 DPI (Dots Per Inch) of sharpness.
As it is, the device carries a really strong display with an amazing processor and a quite strong enough battery that would last for through the day depending on your level of usage though.
Although specs might not be as extreme as you'd expect but it's a really piece of device that's worth its cost right in your palm.
It runs Android Nougat 7.0 and touchwiz is now Samsung Experience. All the changes made are for the betterment of user's experience. Also featured is the Samsung's voice assistant called Bixby.
It's a new piece of AI software that performs some simple tasks for you such as dialling numbers, texting, opening apps, reading news or local weather etc.
It's a replacement for the older S-Voice. That means a lot of changes took place on the S8.
When I handled the Samsung Galaxy S8 peer sent over to Niroid, I did all I could to finish up its battery life as soon as possible by doing series of bombardment.
Surfing the Web, playing HD action games and watching videos on memory card. All these weren't just things the phone's battery can handle by default it's a thing it can do all day long.
Dont be deceived by the 3000 mAh battery though it sounds too teeny-tiny compared to others with massive battery in the league of 5000 mAh.
But the case with the device's chipset doesn't require the phone consumption of much battery despite its high capacity.
The battery is quite superior and way better than we'd expected although it didn't totally freak me out because I still expected more.
There is a bunch of battery management software bundled with the device which all help to reduce battery consumption as easy as possible. Aside this, it's fast charging capacity isn't a make out. With the presence of USB-C, that's a reasonable change. Wireless technology didn't go away too.
Like I mentioned earlier that I wasn't totally thrilled by the battery's performance, an instance whereby I had to take a quick walk down the street and then hand the device in my pocket after an immediate disconnection from the power never really had any effect but usage through the long street whereby I had to take continuous shots of events I was seeing and then listening to music at the same time.
At about noon, I checked into a cafe where I opened up YouTube and then went through some new videos and then I was bored so I tried installing a reasonable 700MB game (Need for speed) which needed me connecting to the café's WiFi.
All these were to the detriment of the battery though but I was still able to play the game to satisfaction and took couple of sips of my soda.
By 6pm, I was left with 5% which needs to be recharged regardless. Mind you, it was a really long hour of testing and that's to say I was continuously staring at the phone for those huge hours through the day.
A powerbank is a good bet in case you're an adventurous person like I always say. You'd need to get one tucked into your backpack if you're going on a really long trip.
Running a full function of the screen quality with the heavy usage of Internet connection and then streaming videos will impact the battery life within a short moment unlike using the battery saving mode which elongates the battery life.
Although many might wonder the need for such huge features while Still at battery detriment, it all possibly stems to the fact that Samsung wants us to still have a quality HD display in our hands which is capable of being used up with a VR.
The device's back got a bit hot after my long usage and I was a bit scared but I wasn't entirely; considering the fact that Samsung had earlier claimed that they employed a third party company to check out the battery's performance.
It wasn't bad though as this went back down after a little while.
All in all, the battery's performance isn't quite bad as it might seem and it can take you through the long day as I've said earlier. Heavy usage while still lasting till 6pm might mean a good point.
Camera isn't bad although it's just as the older one. It captures even the sharpness of all the objects which means a lot to those that wants that.
It's vibrance is exceptional and it's very accurate in many aspects.
But don't get deceived even though the device's camera still features many of those on the last edition.
The camera is just either two taps away using the power button or just a swipe away. It also features cool virtual masks just as seen on SnapChat.
This feature is also present on the other S8 Plus. With these, you can add up some really cool filters and some touch ups to make your photographs really amazing.
With lots of improvements in the software of the camera, you can also record a crystal clear HD videos at a higher resolution.
It's camera is very wide and can capture a really larger portion of areas.
Just as it's front camera can conveniently cover about 3 individuals, you won't have anything to worry about in this respect.
The device's camera also features a really cool aperture which makes images look great. It's video is also OIS enabled which means you don't have to worry alot even without a tripod while recording videos.
You can pinch to zoom in and out while still being able to use swiping for such as well.
Bixby can be involved in your shots if you'd like to make purchases or browse through bunches of images of similarities with the one you're taking.
Back to the camera itself though, and it's worth repeating that you'll very rarely be dissatisfied with the images you'll take, even quickly. The color reproduction seems a touch more muted and natural than in years gone by, but not by much, and the sharpness on offer is great.
Low light shots are way cool and doesn't appear bad at all in any respect.
Another sweet thing is the Pro Mode of the camera where you'd be able to manually set the focal length of the image and the device camera will let you know that something is in focus.
While that night not be a big deal, the effect is that you'd have to drop off unnecessary third party camera apps because the default is working really well.
It's fast launching makes me like it and it's fast and rapid shots is another noteworthy fact. Face smile and gesture detection are all featured and seriously there are just way many features on the camera which is why I felt is way better than its competitors.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a really massive phone with its own features and problems. But weighing in on the positivity is just way longer and huger than the negativity.
I mean why would Bixby's button or Fingerprints Scanner be the reason why you shouldn't use a device of this quality.
The fact that it's battery didn't work for two or three days isn't a new thing considering how long you're going to be using the phone. Seriously, this phone is addictive and you're going to chop off the battery life inch by inch but thanks to the massive power saving software and fast charging capabilities. All these makes it convenient to use.
Apart from its sweet designs, you will need a protective case to keep the beauty for a long-term. And it's 5.8 inch screen won't be too much for your hand.
In fact I would say this phone is for anyone that just wants to enjoy the massive peak of technological in 2017 because it's really worth it.
Aside the pricing and other perks, you might consider one and it makes a reasonable gift to loved ones.
IPhone 8 and 8 Plus are a really great contender for those that prefer it smaller or just want a different piece of technology other than Android powered phones.
The Galaxy S8 Plus is really massive and way more bigger assuming you're like me that prefers it bigger. Others such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, LG G6, Google Pixel XL, Huawei P10, OnePlus 5 are all cool devices that are worthy to look into assuming you'd prefer another phone other than the Samsung Galaxy S8.
But all in all, it's a great.
A really brilliant piece of technology with really awesome futuristic components which is all there to enhance the brilliance of Android.

Chiquita
Burnett's parody of Charo. In one sketch, Charo herself played Chiquita and Burnett played her mother.

The Family

Burnett and Korman as Eunice and Ed Higgins, a married couple, with Lawrence portraying Eunice's very difficult mother "Mama" Thelma Harper in the southern city of Raytown.

Later on, other children of Mama's were introduced, including Betty White as Ellen, Alan Alda as Larry and Tommy Smothers as Jack. In addition, Conway played Mickey Hart, Ed's business partner. In the eleventh season, after Korman's departure, Dick van Dyke was introduced as Dan Fogarty, an old friend of Ed's.

Also known as "Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins", Conway as Mr. Tudball, a businessman who speaks in a mock Romanian accent, putting up with his empty-headed secretary Mrs. Wiggins played by Burnett; Lawrence occasionally played Mrs. Tudball.

Movie parodies
A regular feature of The Carol Burnett Show was its many movie parody sketches, many of which were written or co-written by Stan Hart, Arnie Kogen and Larry Siegel, all prolific contributors for Mad magazine, with each authoring dozens of the magazine's own movie satires. In the early seasons, the movie take-off would begin as a "Metro Golden Mouth" production with Burnett doing her Tarzan yell as a parody of the MGM Lion. In addition, the show featured shorter movie parody sketches as part of a tribute to a specific studio or director.

Went with the Wind!

Perhaps the show's best known movie parody is the 1976 Gone with the Wind sketch entitled "Went with the Wind!" It features the famous scene in which Starlett O'Hara must fashion a gown from window curtains, and Burnett, as Starlett, descends a long staircase wearing the green curtains complete with hanging rod. When Korman as Ratt Butler compliments her "gown", she replies, "Thank you. I saw it in the window and I just couldn't resist it." The outfit, designed by Bob Mackie, is now in the Kennedy Center Honors collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

SHANGHAI, July 2 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Ministry of Public Security (MPS) has sent its condolence to the families of five policemen stabbed to death by a Beijing man on Tuesday, according to the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau website on Wednesday.
The message of condolence was sent around 6 p.m. Tuesday to the Shanghai municipal bureau to extend its sympathy and solicitude to the families.
The suspect, Yang Jia, stabbed a security guard at a police branch in Shanghai's Zhabei District at 9:40 a.m. with a knife. He then started a fire at the gate of the facility.
Yang, 28, then charged into the building and attacked nine officers with his knife. Five police died of their injuries, authorities said.
The jobless man was then apprehended by police and detained. The reasons for his attack was still under investigation, sources with the municipal bureau said.

CHAPTER FOUR — AN IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
Some concepts in nature are harder for us humans to understand than others. How complex things can emerge out of simpler ones is one of those concepts. A termite colony for instance, has a complex cooling system in its lower levels. No single termite knows how it works. Completely unaware of the end results they build complex mounds and nests, shelter tubes to protect their paths, and networks of subterranean tunnels to connect their dirt cities. Everything seems organized and designed but it is not. Evolution has equipped the termite with a pheromone receptor that tells the termite what task he ought to engage himself in, by simply counting the amount of neighboring termites doing the same thing. If there's a surplus of workers in an area, nearby termites become warriors and so on. Complex structures emerge from simple rules. The fractal patterns found all around nature is another example. Fractals look complex but in reality they're not. They're basically algorithms. The same pattern, repeated over and over again with a slightly modified starting point. The human brain is an excellent example of a complex thing that evolved out of simpler things and we humans still have a hard time accepting that it wasn't designed. Religions, which themselves are emergent systems spawned out of human interaction, have come up with a plethora of explanations for how we came to be. All sorts of wild origin stories have been more widely accepted than the simple explanation that our complexities just emerged out of simpler things following a set of rules that nature itself provided our world with.
Complex systems emerge out of human interactions all the time. The phone in your pocket is the result of a century of mostly free global market competition, and no single human could ever have come up with the entire thing. The device, together with its internet connection, is capable of a lot more than the sum of its individual parts. A pocket-sized gadget that can grant instant access to almost all of the world's literature, music and film, that fits in your pocket was an unthinkable science fiction a mere twenty years ago. Bitcoin, first described in Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper ten years before these words were written, was designed to be decentralized but it wasn't until years later that the network started to show actual proof of this. Sound money, or absolute digital scarcity, emerged out of the network not only because of its technical design. How Bitcoin's first ten years actually unfolded played a huge part in how true decentralization could emerge and this is also the main reason as to why the experiment can not be replicated. Scarcity on the internet could only be invented once. Satoshi's disappearance was Bitcoin's first step towards true decentralization. No marketing whatsoever and the randomness of who hopped onto the train first, were the steps that followed. Bitcoin truly had an immaculate conception. The network has shown a remarkable resistance to change over the last few years especially, and its current state might be its last incarnation given the size of the network and the 95% agreement threshold in its consensus rules. It might never change again. In that case, an entirely new, complex life form will have emerged out of a simple set of rules. Even if small upgrades are implemented in the future, the 21 million coin supply cap is set in stone forever. Bitcoin is not for humans to have opinions about, it exists regardless of what anyone thinks about it, and it ought to be studied rather than discussed. We don't know what true scarcity and a truly global, anonymous free market will do to our species yet, but we are about to find out. It is naive to think otherwise. Various futurists and doomsday prophets have been focused on the dangers of the impending general artificial intelligence singularity lately, warning us about the point of no return, whereupon an artificial intelligence will be able to improve itself faster than any human could. Such a scenario could, as news anchor Ron Burgundy would have put it, escalate quickly. This may or may not be of real concern to us but meanwhile, right under our noses, another type of unstoppable digital life has emerged and it is already changing the behaviour and preferences of millions of people around the globe. This is probably bad news for big corporations and governments but good news for the little guy looking for a little freedom. At least that's what those of us who lean towards the ideas of the Austrian school of economics believe. This time around, we will find out whether this is the case or not. No one knows what it will lead to and what new truths will emerge out of this new reality.
Unlike the termite we humans are able to experience the grandeur of our progress. We can look in awe at the Sistine Chapel or the pyramids, and we can delve into the technicalities and brief history of Bitcoin and discover new ways of thinking about value along the way. Money is the language in which we express value to each other through space and time. Now that language is spoken by computers. Value expressed in this language can't be diluted through inflation or counterfeiting any longer. It is a language that is borderless, permissionless, peer-to-peer, anonymous if you have the skills, unreplicable, completely scarce, non-dilutable, unchangeable, untouchable, undeniable, fungible and free for everyone on earth to use. It is a language for the future and it emerged out of a specific set of events in the past. All languages are examples of complex systems emerging out of simpler things, and Bitcoin evolved just as organically as any other human language did.
Decentralization is hard to achieve. Really hard. When it comes to claims of decentralization, a "don't trust, verify" -approach to the validity of such claims will help you filter out the noise. So how can the validity of Bitcoin's decentralization be verified? It's a tricky question, because decentralization is not a binary thing, like life or death, but rather a very difficult concept to defy. However, the most fundamental concepts in Bitcoin, like the 21 million cap on coin issuance or the ten minute block interval as a result of the difficulty adjustment and the Proof of Work algorithm, has not changed since very early on in the history of the network. This lack of change, which is arguably Bitcoin's biggest strength, has been achieved through the consensus rules, which state that 95% of the network's participants need to agree in order for a change to take place. Bitcoin has displayed a remarkable immutability through the years and it is highly unlikely that this would have been the case if the game-theoretical mechanisms that enable its decentralized governance model hadn't worked, given the many incentives to cheat that always seem to corrupt monetary systems. In other words, the longer the system seems to be working, the higher the likelihood that it actually does.
Satoshi set in stone the length of the halving period, a very important aspect of Bitcoin's issuance schedule and initial distribution. During the first four years of Bitcoin's existence, fifty new coins were issued every ten minutes up until the first block reward halving four years later. Every four years this reward is halved, so that the issuance rate goes down by fifty percent. This effectively means that half of all the bitcoins that would ever exist were mined during the first four years of the network's life, three thirds during its next four years and so on. At the time of writing we're a little more than a year from the third halving. After that, only 6.25 bitcoins will be minted every ten minutes as opposed to 50, which was the initial rate. What this does is that it creates hype-cycles for Bitcoin's adoption. Every time the price of bitcoin booms and then busts down to a level above where it started, a hype-cycle takes place. Bitcoin had no marketing whatsoever so awareness of it had to spread by some other mechanism. When a bull run begins, people start talking about it which leads to even more people buying due to Fear Of Missing Out or FOMO, which inevitably makes the price rise even more rapidly. This leads to more FOMO and on and on the bull market goes until it suddenly ends and the price crashes down to somewhere around, or slightly above, the level it was on before the bull run started. Unlike what is true for most other assets, Bitcoin never really crashes all the way. Why? Because every time a hype-cycle occurs some more people learn about Bitcoin's fundamentals and manage to resist the urge to sell, even when almost all hope seems lost. They understand that these bull markets are a reoccurring thing due to the nature of the protocol. These cycles create new waves of evangelists who start promoting Bitcoin simply because of what they stand to gain from a price increase. In a sense, the protocol itself pays for its own promotion in this way. This organic marketing creates a lot of noise and confusion too, as a lot of people who don't seem to understand how Bitcoin works often are very outspoken about it despite their lack of knowledge. Red herrings, such as altcoins and Bitcoin forks, are then weeded out naturally during bear markets. Every time a bull market happens, a new generation of Bitcoiners is born. The four year period between halvings serves a deliberate purpose. Satoshi could just as well have programmed a smooth issuance curve into the Bitcoin protocol but he didn't. As events unfold, we can see that he had good reason for this since these hype-cycles provide a very effective on-boarding mechanism. They certainly make bitcoin volatile but remember that in this early stage, the volatility is needed in order for these hype-cycles to happen. Later on, when Bitcoin's stock-to-flow ratio is lower, the seas will calm and its volatility level will go down. In truth, it already has. The latest almost 80% price drop was far from the worst we've seen in bitcoin. This technology is still in its infancy and it is very likely that we'll see some more of this volatility before mainstream adoption, or hyperbitcoinization, truly happens.

Q: Unicode FontAwesome on Sass in ReactJS I was using fontawesome as an Icon, the fortawesome package is working well on React with their components. But I want to use the unicode and it only shows a Box (invalid) when I use the fontawesome unicode from their website. (I also using a Fontawesome Pro v5)

A: I already solve the problem, Tho I don't know if this is the better way to do it but since I use the fortawesome package I use this code
$fa-font-path: '../node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-pro/webfonts';
@import '../../../node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-pro/scss/fontawesome.scss';

Officials: Swine flu detected in pigs at fair in Michigan
FOWLERVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Health officials say swine flu has been detected in pigs at a fair in Michigan that wrapped up over the weekend.
The Livingston County Health Department says the infected pigs were detected last week at the Fowlerville Family Fair and pigs were removed from the event.
No human cases were reported at the fair about 65 miles (105 kilometers) northwest of Detroit.
The update comes after Michigan health officials urged people to take precautions to avoid swine flu at county and local fairs statewide.
Swine influenza is a respiratory disease in pigs that's caused by type A influenza viruses. Swine flu viruses don't usually infect humans, but human infections have been reported. Precautions to help avoid swine flu include refraining from eating or drinking in livestock barns or show rings.


Having respect, dignity and being a part of decision-making may sound so simple and expected, and while pregnant you maybe more focused on being comfortable, trusting that you care team will keep birth safe, than thinking about if you will be treated with respect.
As a doula for many years and attending births and/or listening to women around the world, sadly I know that many women are not receiving the respect and dignity they assume they will.
In our singular focus on safety, we broke the circle of support and felt safety meant we would birth in medical institutions with strangers who could care for us better than our loved ones, but along the way, we lost much of the human caring, compassion, and love, that was a part of birth.
We know now that while it's important for motherbaby to survive birth safely, we must also strive to thrive- emotionally and as a family (however family is presented). A conversation for another day is to question and ask are we actually more safe with our technology or are we just feeling more safe even though the risks of overuse of surgery, artificial hormones, narcotics, and other drugs and technology, can increase harms for MotherBaby?
As a birth activist and chair of the International MotherBaby Childbirth Initiative, our organization has been at the forefront of a human rights framework around quality care with compassion and heart.
This week as Chair of the IMBCI, an NGO of the UN (in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council), I am at the United Nations speaking out and up for every MotherBaby's right to respectful, quality care and the effect this will have on empowering women for the rest of their lives. If we want to empower women, we must care about how we care for and treat them in childbirth. This is a missed opportunity that we are only beginning to recognize.
Let's get childbirth added to the Human Rights and Empowerment Agendas!
For too long we have felt birth was a day to get thru, we didn't care if we pushed, pulled or cut babies out. It's one day in a woman's life but as Penny Simkin, and others have shown us, our birth memory is impacted by how we were treated- if we were respected, if we received love and support and at what level, if we had continuous companionship, if we were honored and consulted with choices and decision-making (informed consent and informed refusal). Together these factors create either a positive memory that will empower a mother, give her strength and power in all her life, or sadly, and too often today, when these elements are missing our maternity care system disempowers women, leaving new mothers with an emotional scar. The emotional scar will provide a map to the deepest parts of the mother who knows that something was not right, that a day that should have been joyful, blissful and, yes, orgasmic, has turned sad, stressful and, for a growing number of women, traumatic. This is unacceptable!
Light shines thru the darkness of this topic from individual medical providers who do strive to help women thrive. I was so delighted when a few years ago I met an amazing obstetrician Dr. Amali Lokugamage. We are both advisors to Human Rights in Childbirth and shared a passion for working to demand and create respectful gentle birth. She shared how she uses our 60 minute documentary Organic Birth: Birth is Natural! With medical students to discuss the many possibilities that birth holds in women, men and families lives and to help them see how important the way a woman is cared for in labor and birth can effect both the process and her ability to thrive.
More recently she joined the board of the IMBCI and this week we are together along with our other board members and representatives at the UN talking about respectful, dignified care, emotional support, compassion and caring and how when women thrive in childbirth they are empowered in all they do.
If you are a birth worker take time to enjoy Dr. Lokugamage's Human Rights Lectures published on the WHO website about respectful maternity care. Everyone will enjoy the video about her book The Heart in the Womb which talks about cerebral oxytocin and its effects.
Another video I like is Join the transformation – Maternity care with Heart!
Join me and speak out for The Right to Respectful Maternity Care!
Pleasurable, blissful, joyful, Orgasmic Birth begins with respect, dignity and being a part of decision making so that every woman can birth where, with whom and how she wants with the safety, privacy and love she deserves to give birth with ease, power and pleasure!

Scientists Identify Three Causes of Earth's Spin Axis Drift
A typical desk globe is designed to be a geometric sphere and to rotate smoothly when you spin it. Our actual planet is far less perfect -- in both shape and in rotation.
Earth is not a perfect sphere. When it rotates on its spin axis -- an imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles -- it drifts and wobbles. These spin-axis movements are scientifically referred to as "polar motion." Measurements for the 20th century show that the spin axis drifted about 4 inches (10 centimeters) per year. Over the course of a century, that becomes more than 11 yards (10 meters).
Using observational and model-based data spanning the entire 20th century, NASA scientists have for the first time identified three broadly-categorized processes responsible for this drift -- contemporary mass loss primarily in Greenland, glacial rebound, and mantle convection.
"The traditional explanation is that one process, glacial rebound, is responsible for this motion of Earth's spin axis. But recently, many researchers have speculated that other processes could have potentially large effects on it as well," said first author Surendra Adhikari of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "We assembled models for a suite of processes that are thought to be important for driving the motion of the spin axis. We identified not one but three sets of processes that are crucial -- and melting of the global cryosphere (especially Greenland) over the course of the 20th century is one of them."
In general, the redistribution of mass on and within Earth -- like changes to land, ice sheets, oceans and mantle flow -- affects the planet's rotation. As temperatures increased throughout the 20th century, Greenland's ice mass decreased. In fact, a total of about 7,500 gigatons -- the weight of more than 20 million Empire State Buildings -- of Greenland's ice melted into the ocean during this time period. This makes Greenland one of the top contributors of mass being transferred to the oceans, causing sea level to rise and, consequently, a drift in Earth's spin axis.
While ice melt is occurring in other places (like Antarctica), Greenland's location makes it a more significant contributor to polar motion.
"There is a geometrical effect that if you have a mass that is 45 degrees from the North Pole -- which Greenland is -- or from the South Pole (like Patagonian glaciers), it will have a bigger impact on shifting Earth's spin axis than a mass that is right near the Pole," said coauthor Eric Ivins, also of JPL.
Previous studies identified glacial rebound as the key contributor to long-term polar motion. And what is glacial rebound? During the last ice age, heavy glaciers depressed Earth's surface much like a mattress depresses when you sit on it. As that ice melts, or is removed, the land slowly rises back to its original position. In the new study, which relied heavily on a statistical analysis of such rebound, scientists figured out that glacial rebound is likely to be responsible for only about a third of the polar drift in the 20th century.
The authors argue that mantle convection makes up the final third. Mantle convection is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates on Earth's surface. It is basically the circulation of material in the mantle caused by heat from Earth's core. Ivins describes it as similar to a pot of soup placed on the stove. As the pot, or mantle, heats, the pieces of the soup begin to rise and fall, essentially forming a vertical circulation pattern -- just like the rocks moving through Earth's mantle.
With these three broad contributors identified, scientists can distinguish mass changes and polar motion caused by long-term Earth processes over which we have little control from those caused by climate change. They now know that if Greenland's ice loss accelerates, polar motion likely will, too.
The paper in Earth and Planetary Science Letters is titled "What drives 20th century polar motion?" Besides JPL, coauthor institutions include the German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam; the University of Oslo, Norway; Technical University of Denmark, Kongens Lyngby; the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, Copenhagen, Denmark; and the University of Bremen, Germany

L'Équipe d'Union soviétique de football participe à la coupe du monde de football de 1990. Elle est éliminée au premier tour en finissant dernière de son groupe. L'équipe s'appuie sur un groupe expérimenté mais vieillissant avec des trentenaires (Dasaev, Bessonov, Khidyatulline) ou presque (Rats, Gorlukovich, et les deux milieux de la Juventus Aleinikov et Zavarov), dont certains devront laisser leur place aux jeunes durant la compétition. C'est la dernière apparition de l'équipe d'URSS en coupe du monde et dans une grande compétition internationale (l'Euro 1992, pour lequel l'Union soviétique s'est qualifiée, est finalement disputé sous le nom d'Équipe de la communauté des États indépendants de football alors que l'URSS vient d'être démantelée).

I am used to only doing aerobics, but I would like to expand my workout and also lift weights. How do I get started on a weightlifting program that is safe for a 50+ year old like me?
Strength training is an absolute must for 50+ population. You didn't state your gender, but male or female, I would be happy to help you. I run a fitness group for women over 30 and have many women in the 50-60 age group.
This is my passion, so the cost will be quite minimal.


My insignia TV/monitor HDMI that I use for my secondary screen worked perfectly until I upgraded to El Capitan (Betas and now 10.11.2).
Setup: TV/monitor has two HDMI connections. Input HDMI1 is the VCR to the TV. HDMI2 comes the MacPro on television.
Problem: If I switch the input on the TV screen between the two sources (decoder on the HDMI input), the MacPro does not recognize/initialize the monitor/TV.
The only solution is to get the MacPro to see that the monitor shall ensure that the monitor/TV is set to HDMI2 and restart the MacPro and then it works fine. Until I pass the entries still of course.
My problem is that after external monitor goes to sleep and then wakes up again the image on the screen is bigger than the screen acctualy. This means that I don't see a part of the image (my office) as part of the taskbar and my settings is changed into 59Hz instead of 60, so when I change them back to 60 hz in Panel intel HD graphics everything looks ok, but it happends once again after the monitor going to sleep How to solve this problem?
My monitor is HP 2710 m connected via HDMI 1920 x 1080 p.
You have the same problems when you try another HDMI cable?
You can also test it with normal VGA (RGB) connection?
To be clear... This problem is with the Win7 OS - no video card GUI that allow to change number ID display on multiple monitors.
Problem with several screens and the use of HDMI cables substituent and #1 assuming that for its corresponding display view identifier.
But there is no way to change this.
Then I connect my SONY Bravia or my LG HDTV displays using HDMI cables, the new screen automatically takes over as the display identifier #1 and the monitor becomes identifier #2.
-This introduces to the identifiers is not something I want, need or want to deal with every time I use several displays. And it creates problems.
There is NO way to correct or modify the identifiers.
Please provide a FIX as soon as possible if you have an ounce of concern for the customer service.
Right CLICK... on one of the displays in the window to the left of "Detect" / "identify."
Then the OPTION 'Change display login' with a list of relevant identifier numbers according to the number of multiple connected screens.
and Voila! View identifiers are defined.
We, your customers, look forward to the difficulty of Windows update that contains this fix a lot expected and necessary.
Thanks in advance for your collaboration and concerns about our satisfaction and ease of use than the loyal customers of your software.
Feel free to send me the BETA version of the patch when his complete: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.
Thank you for all the information related to the issue.
This problem may occur if the display of the configuration settings dual monitor retain the configuration. Possible reasons could be installed on the computer outdated display driver.
What is the brand and model of the computer or the graphics card?
Are you using double display card? Sometimes changing the display settings for the display cards might solve the problem.
First of all, if you have a display of the map or media panel installed on the computer, go to the control panel and change the setting under multiple display change. Assign the identity number according to the status monitor, then check if it retains the configuration when you restart the computer.
PC Cleaner performance monitor is the problem.
Yes, it may well be the source of any problems you encounter.
In the future, don't be afraid to create a post long and detailed of what is or is not happening.

Recently had my Plasma 42 "mounted on a wall by using tv HDMI / HDMI / STB. Worked fine for 4 days then screen started flashing several times every second. Audio is fine. HDMI letters appear at the top in the middle of the TV. Already have cable HDMI/DVI tv box without problem but decided to simplify and go all right HDMI. I had tv for 3 years, works very well so far. Is this typical HDMI problem with this model of tv?
I recently bought a monitor w2448hc and im trying to connect my ps3 to it. I know the difficulty of hdmi ps3 and all, but it will not be displayed.
This shows simply no input signal, I have tried 3 different cables and all work on the TV when tested.
I connected my dvd via hdmi and it works fine.
But the ps3 simply refuses to work.
I went back the screen and got a samsung instead, which worked directly.
I hope that someone has experience with external monitors on a computer laptop y700.
I would like to ask if my laptop Y700 supports resolutions higher than 1920 x 1080 for external displays via HDMI.
Is this possible with my laptop. And it is even possible to connect a 4K screen?
THIS MARKET! It is not a problem to run it with 2560 x 1080 at 60 Hz. The only problem might be a 4K resolution screen that it only works with 30 Hz, because it's an HDMI 1.4 port.
Hi people, I have a desktop HP p6230f, Windows 7 64-bit o/s and a GPU ATI Radeon HD 5770. I had no problem with it until last night. Finally, I changed my DVI cable connecting the monitor to the computer during an HDMI cable.
I have a picture of a 1 "wide black on three of the four sides of the screen! For example; If I drag an icon on my desktop or one of the items in my sidebar to the outer edges of the screen, they begin to disappear behind a blackened by the section of the frame of the screen about 1 "of the actual plastic mount that make up the structure of the entire screen!
Now that 1 "size approximate but the width of the glass of the monitor is 21 3/4 but I can get about 20" of the real, usable, the screen display and 12 1/4 inches monitor glass vertically measured I can get about 11 1/8 inches of usable display! This means that I get less of 23 "usable display when measured diagonally.
I already checked the monitor to the HDMI settings and I don't see nothing wrong in the settings of Windows 7. I'm about to reinstall the driver for the monitor, but I seriously doubt that will work.
Also, I noticed that all my fonts and size of my desktop icons are smaller than they were before the change. I know how to enlarge them all but the problem is that they seem to keep back to the small size when I shut down the computer and start it back up.
Now, it is possible that the problem is not related to the HDMI cord and I'm only note this 1 "black frame on each side and the top of my screen for other reasons unrelated to the monitor HDMI cable.
HAH! It wasn't my imagination! Just when I was about to throw in the towel and admit that I was imagining all this and he went even to pull demand for assistance on the site I found the problem.
For those who can run in this one day in the future, the resolution is in the "AMD Vision Engine Control Center" . I had lost my settings because I got an error of starting due to my inability to follow directions on a USB HUB, I added to the system last night*.
On the left of this Panel of the user is a number of adjustments, you can do on a good many things involving graphs including the monitor you are using. Just click on the box entitled 'My digital flat screens' and Tin the drop-down list, click on "Options of scaling (Digital Flat Panel).
You will see a slider that lets you adjust the scale yourself, or you can put a check in the box and have done automatically. If you use the cursor like I did, drag it over to the full adjustment right up to '0% overscan. As you do that you will see on the screen grow to fill the entire display window, (every 25 inches diagonal of it).
That's all! Click "Apply" and you're done. This issue is resolved.
** (that's another story, but the short of it is that you do not want to add devices to the HUB USB FRONT that the new hub will load its drivers!).
Sorry... I just noticed that we have discussed your configuration before. May I ask if the previously suggested configuration did not work? What prompted the purchase of the USB graphic card?
I just pulled up on my docking station and found that it worked perfectly out of the box. Unlike some others who have had problems, I felt lucky until I tried to get the HDMI to work with my Dell monitor.
It's about that simple, the monitor does not detect a device and the device does not detect an HDMI monitor. I've updated the BIOS and drivers Intel for the latest versions from today and still nothing. I'd appreciate any advice or experiences like mine that could help me to get this resolved.
Quick update on my situation. I was able to get the dock running after realizing that you cannot convert HDMI in Display Port, only the opposite. My monitor DELL Professional is not HDMI, there a display Port. Not sure who came up with this idea, but it seems that HDMI is a standard that is good enough to not have to create another.
In any case, I was using a HDMI Display Port adapter--> and after reading upwards, is that you can convert only the signal in a way. Turns out the other way, of what I was trying. If you have a video card that has a display out Port, you can use this adapter to convert to HDMI. I do in fact with another computer of mine. However, if you have a monitor with a Display Port, you can not convert HDMI Port to display in this way.
Anyway, I ended up finding a DVI switch and turned the HDMI/DVI monitor and everything works fine. It's a little weird for the signal on the screen, but as you mention, if you start the camera on the dock, it seems to detect the signal. Without that, it seems random as to if the signal is getting sent to the monitor. Sometimes, the monitor just says not: 'no signal' until I have restart the device.
Please help me diagnose what's wrong with my new laptop.
My laptop is Dell Latitude E6440, but whenever I connect external monitor to my laptop HDMI via HDMI port to the converter VGA, the external monitor still flashes randomly every two seconds. This VGA HDMI converter / works fine when I used it on the other laptop.
Currently I still have the chance to try my laptop HDMI port to connect directly to a HDMI monitor because I don't.
Is it that someone has the same problem with me? Thanks for your help.
Dell currently manufactures replacements of main card to resolve this problem. They will be available at the end of July. Please make sure you have a current subscription and contact support to be eligible for replacement.
Why can I not use the HDMI port to connect a second monitor? I have a XPS 8700.
It won't let me even turn on your computer if I have my TV or second monitor plugged into the HDMI port. I have not had any problems with my laptop. The satellite on HDMI monitor and he was there. I am struggling with this for hours.
Thanks for writing on the Dell Community Forum.
May I know if you use the HDMI port integrated on the motherboard or graphics card?
If you have a card installed, then the built-in HDMI port would not work. Also check if the input of the monitor options is selected in HDMI.
If the monitor is connected to the HDMI port graphics card and if you still can't get the screen, try to please update the graphics card drivers and tables also re - map graphic if possible.
I have laptop Dell XPS 14Z - I'm trying to connect my new Dell U2212HM monitor. only I have for my xps HDMI, DISPLAYPORT-a monitor, I so bought - DISPLAYPORT - HDMI monitor cable does not connect to the laptop. I tried with port SCREEN HDMI and HDMI - HDMI Cable adapter. does not.
I tried to connect to another pc with DISPLAYPORT - DISPLAYPORT cable same monitor works. I tried to connect with HDMI - HDMI cable to my laptop XPS - monitor works. Can someone please solve my problem. How to connect laptop MY XPS 14Z to my Dell U2212HM monitor?
XPS 14z has a mini DisplayPort located next to the HDMI port. You will need to use a min-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable to connect the monitor to the laptop.
You have a very difficult problem that maybe someone can help me find a solution. I had an old Macbook Pro (2009-ish) I was using with AE and my HDMI projector to do the work of projection mapping. The laptop computer motherboard used recently (not linked, I don't think) but now I bought a new Macbook Pro and am trying to use the HDMI output to the projector as my external monitor in After Effects (I tried both CC and CS5.5 and CS6). Under Preview video it does not appear as an option to send to (the choices are computer monitor only or Firewire).
I'm a mess that I'm supposed to do a show tonight with the installation I did many times with my old Macbook and AE and now can't do it at all. I have to be able to have the projector receive EI feed - and nothing I've done so far has helped. The system sees the projector, then why doesn't AE? I can't drag the window of the program in the projector window space and expand - there must be exactly 1920 x 1080 in order for me align correctly.
If there is Adobe TAPI people this morning, I'd CERTAINLY appreciate your comments, as well as any other person who might have had similar problems. It should work, it should be a no-brainer. Right now I'm running a new STANDARD Apple Macbook Pro with HDMI output and the latest version of AE CC with all updates done. Please, please help!
After Effects does not come with components for an HDMI output.
Your other computer must have installed additional components that adds this functionality.
I want tio upgrade to Vista Ultimate and I have Vista Home Premium installed. When I try to upgrade, I get a message to say that the version I installed is older, then what is already installed. I want to use additional features.
What does the error code 0 x 80240022?

Pope Francis makes 2 Fatima children Catholic saints 100 years after visions
By Nicole Winfield
Barry HattonThe Associated Press
Sat., May 13, 2017timer4 min. read
FATIMA, PORTUGAL—Pope Francis added two Portuguese shepherd children to the roster of Catholic saints Saturday, honouring young siblings whose reported visions of the Virgin Mary 100 years ago turned the Portuguese farm town of Fatima into one of the world's most important Catholic shrines.
Francis proclaimed Francisco and Jacinta Marto saints at the start of Mass marking the centenary of their visions. A half-million people watched in the vast square in front of the shrine's basilica, the Vatican said, citing Portuguese authorities. Many had spent days at Fatima in prayer, reciting rosaries before a statue of the Madonna. They clapped as soon as Francis read the proclamation aloud.
"It is amazing. It's like an answer to prayer, because I felt that always they would be canonized," said Agnes Walsh from Killarney, Ireland. She said she prayed to Francisco Marto for 20 years, hoping her four daughters would meet "nice boys like Francisco."
"The four of them have met boys that are just beautiful. I couldn't ask for better, so he has answered all my prayers," she said.
Pope Francis in Portugal to canonize children who saw Virgin Mary 100 years ago
Brazilian boy's survival of brain injury cited by Vatican as the Fatima 'miracle' needed to canonize two children
The pontiff left Fatima on Saturday afternoon after a stay of less than 24 hours. From his popemobile he saluted thousands of people lining the streets who cheered, waved flags and shouted "Viva o Papa!"
Francisco and Jacinta, aged 9 and 7, and their 10-year-old cousin, Lucia, reported that on March 13, 1917, the Virgin Mary made the first of a half-dozen appearances to them while they grazed their sheep. They said she confided in them three secrets — foretelling apocalyptic visions of hell, war, communism and the death of a pope — and urged them to pray for peace and a conversion from sin.
At the time, Europe was in the throes of World War I, and the Portuguese church was suffering under anti-clerical laws from the republican government that had forced many bishops and priests into exile.
"Our Lady foretold, and warned us about, a way of life that is godless and indeed profanes God in his creatures," Francis said in his homily. "Such a life, frequently proposed and imposed, risks leading to hell."
He urged Catholics today to use the example of the Marto siblings and draw strength from God, even when adversity strikes. The children had been threatened by local civil authorities with death by boiling oil if they didn't recant their story. But they held fast and eventually the church recognized the apparitions as authentic in 1930.
"We can take as our examples Saint Francisco and Saint Jacinta, whom the Virgin Mary introduced into the immense ocean of God's light and taught to adore him," he said. "That was the source of their strength in overcoming opposition and suffering."
The Martos are now the youngest-ever saints who didn't die as martyrs.
Before the Mass, Francis prayed at the tombs of each of the Fatima visionaries. The Marto siblings died two years after the visions during Europe's Spanish flu pandemic. Lucia is on track for possible beatification, but her process couldn't start until after her 2005 death.
At the end of the Mass, Francis offered a special greeting to the many faithful who flock to Fatima in hopes of healing.
Participating in the offertory procession Saturday were Joao Baptista and his wife, Lucila Yurie, of Brazil. They were with their son, Lucas, whose medically inexplicable healing was the "miracle" needed for the Marto siblings to be declared saints. Lucas and the pope embraced.
The boy, aged 5 at the time, had fallen 6.5 metres from a window in 2013 and suffered severe head trauma. His doctors said he would be severely mentally disabled or in a vegetative state if he even survived. The boy not only survived but has no signs of any after-effects.
"We thank God for Lucas' cure. We know in all faith from our heart that this miracle was obtained with the help of the little shepherd children Francisco and Jacinta," Baptista told reporters earlier.
In 2000, Pope John Paul II beatified the Marto siblings during a Mass at Fatima and used the occasion of the new millennium to reveal the third "secret" that the children reported they had received from the Madonna. The text, written by Lucia, had been kept in a sealed envelope inside the Vatican for decades, with no pope daring to reveal it because of its terrifying contents: a "bishop dressed in white" — the pope — on his knees at the foot of a cross, killed in a hail of bullets and arrows, along with other bishops, priests and various lay Catholics.
The message featured an angel crying out "Penance, penance, penance!"
John Paul II, now St. John Paul, credited the Virgin Mary with saving his life in an assassination attempt in St. Peter's Square on May 13, 1981 — the same date of the first Fatima vision. One of the bullets fired at him rests in the crown of the statue of the Virgin at the Fatima shrine.
The impending canonization of the children had led to speculation that a fourth "secret" remained, but the Vatican says there are no more secrets related to the Fatima revelations.


A recent jaunt around Lake Michigan was a textbook Roberts vacation. Plenty of burgers and BBQ were consumed and plenty of grocery stores were chalked up. Luckily, on some occasions, the supermarkets we encounter are healthy enough and pretty enough to keep everyone happy, and Fresh Thyme Farmer's Market was just such an example. The store is in an up and coming area of Milwaukee, surrounded by the construction of new university buildings (I think) and plenty of apartment blocks. Perfect territory for a healthy food store that promises affordability alongside freshness and abundance.
Even before you walk in the place, there are some pleasing architectural touches (the water tower out front is lovely) that hint at some of the joys within. There's plenty of focus on service and customer experience here: free produce for kids is well flagged at the front of the store and community engagement is communicated through bulletin boards devoted to charitable endeavours.
This is a pledge that is lived up to well – produce really is the fulcrum of the store, complemented by myriad counters and departments that come together to create an awesome proposition that is contained within a relatively modest footprint.
Highlights around the store's perimeter include a growler bar and coffee shop (plus a seating area for both) and counters for sushi, pizza, meat, fish and salad. There are plenty of value-added services available at these counters, meaning that the store becomes a compelling destination for food-for-now and food-for-later as well as for a regular grocery trip.
The overall look and feel of the place is most pleasing. Lots of natural light helps complement the industrial architecture (exposed brickwork, concrete and steel), with colourful graphics, a fair bit of timber and some judicious spotlighting all combining to make the product the hero. Signage – a mix of printed and handwritten – is more than adequate, communicating price, promos and provenance very clearly indeed.
Customer service was beyond superlative as we bought a few bits and pieces, concluding a shopping trip that was thoroughly enjoyable. This was my first experience of Fresh Thyme. I really hope it isn't my last.

Tottenham Transfer Rumours
Spurs: Fabio Paratici plotting Marcus Thuram bid
by George McGibbon share
3 minute read 1/12/2022 | 09:24pm
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in a deal to bring Marcus Thuram to the Premier League in the January transfer window.
What's the talk?
That's according to Ignazio Genuardi, with the French journalist revealing in a recent post on Twitter that, despite the Borussia Mönchengladbach centre-forward believed to be willing to wait until the end of the current campaign before securing a move away from the Bundesliga side, Fabio Paratici could launch a surprise move for the 25-year-old in January.
The reporter went on to state in a further post that Gladbach would command a €20m (£17m) fee in order to sanction the striker's sale this winter, while the player himself is said to be demanding a salary of €10m (£8.5m) – roughly £163k-per-week – from a potential new suitor – with Aston Villa, Arsenal and Newcastle United also said to be keen on the France international.
Regarding Thuram's future, Genuardi said:
Conte can land Moura upgrade in Spurs bid for £26m "animal" who "ticks a lot of boxes" - opinion
Spurs have "dominant" £52m "phenomenon" on "their list", he'd be a big Lenglet upgrade - opinion
Paratici could seal an "untouchable" signing as Spurs eye "surprising" £26m talent - opinion
"Courted by a slew of European teams, Thuram could wait until next summer to pack his bags, but a surprise cannot be ruled out this winter. According to some indiscretions, Tottenham could give it a try in January.
"At the end of his contract with Gladbach, [Thuram] is also courted by Aston Villa, Arsenal and Newcastle on the English market. While the Germans could claim up to €20m this winter, the player expects a salary of around €10m (excluding bonuses)."
Absolute steal
Considering just how impressive Thuram has been for Borussia Mönchengladbach so far this season, should Paratici manage to land the centre-forward ahead of the likes of Arsenal, Villa and Newcastle in a £17m deal this winter, it would undoubtedly represent both a massive coup and an absolute steal for the Italian sporting director.
Indeed, over his 15 Bundesliga appearances in the current campaign, the £26m-rated talent has been in red-hot form going forwards, having already scored 10 goals, registered three assists and created three big chances for his teammates, in addition to taking an average of 3.7 shots – 2.0 of which have hit the target – making 0.9 key passes and completing 1.5 dribbles per game.

These returns have seen the £54k-per-week forward who Denis Zakaria dubbed "crazy" average a rather remarkable Sofascore match rating of 7.19, not only ranking him as Daniel Farke's fourth-best performer in the league but also as the joint 23rd-best player in the top flight of German football as a whole.
The 25-year-old has also caught the eye over his two outings in the DFB-Pokal this term, bagging three goals and providing his teammates with one assist, as well as taking an average of 3.0 shots – 2.5 of which have been on target – making 1.5 key passes and completing 2.5 dribbles – at a success rate of 83% – per match.
These metrics have seen the Frenchman average a simply breathtaking Sofascore match rating of 8.35, not only ranking him as Gladbach's joint-best performer in the competition but also as the joint 19th-best player in the tournament in its entirety.
At what age did Kane make his debut for Tottenham?
Furthermore, with Thuram also more than capable of operating from the left or right wing – having played a total of 98 games from the flanks – it would very much appear as if the six-cap star would be a perfect fit for either of Antonio Conte's 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 formations at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – as either a partner for Harry Kane up top or on the left of a front three.
As such, with the former Guingamp star clearly being a player who is incredibly deadly in the final third, able to progress the ball extremely efficiently and versatile enough to feature anywhere across a front three, landing such a talent for a fee as little as £17m would indeed look to be something of a steal for Paratici in the January transfer window.
