TV Host Wendy Williams reportedly checked out of her sober living home last weekend and began a relapse on alcohol.
The entertainment host began her relapse allegedly following news that her husband, Kevin Hunter, has a mistress that recently (and allegedly) delivered his child.
The 54-year-old was seen headed to her sober living home following an episode of her self-titled show Monday, and then checked out shortly after. Williams' associates eventually found her in enough time to get her to a nearby hospital for IV fluids, and she was in enough shape to deliver herself to an audience the following morning. She returned to sober living after the show.
Kevin Hunter's alleged mistress named Sharina Hudson, gave birth on March 20 in a Philadelphia hospital. Rumors have circulated that throughout the 22- year marriage between Williams and Hunter, Hunter has been with Hudson for as long as 10 years. Hunter is also Williams' manager.

The Customizer is great. I've been working in and around it to offer site customization features to our WordPress.com users since it launched with 3.41, coinciding with when I joined Automattic on Team Custom. We've especially used it to build great tools as part of the Custom Design upgrade, but as we've pushed the boundaries of what awesomeness we can unlock for our users, certain aspects of the Customizer have started to create roadblocks for us. Some of these are addressable, and some probably aren't.
The Customizer doesn't work on a phone/small screen. Anyone who thinks this isn't a dealbreaker is just wrong. The UI was designed for the desktop web. This could possibly be addressed in core, but it will require a pretty fundamental rethinking of the interface.
The Customizer can get really slow. This is partly because of its two-requests-to-load model: one for the customize.php app, and one for the frontend XHR that gets injected into a preview iframe. Any slowness on your server is multiplied x2 since there are two requests that happen serially.2 We've seen this hit up to 60 seconds on WP.com sometimes3, with similar reports from WP.org users on underpowered hosts like GoDaddy. Some performance work could probably be done here to start fetching the frontend sooner in the customize.php load process.
Speed could possibly be better served by a more fundamental rethink: what if the user wants to start customizing from the frontend of their site and clicking Customize just transitioned you seamlessly into a customization mode via an already bootstrapped, frontend customizer app? This actually has some serious UX considerations I'll touch on later, but the big advantage for performance is that you're not throwing away a perfectly good DOM to get the Customizer up and running.
Speed will also be hampered as more things are put in the Customizer. Putting Widgets in there in 3.9 is a great example of this: it's made Widgets better, but the Customizer worse. As more things are added, speed will suffer, not to mention the UX cost of dumping so much in there.
You can enter the Customizer through wp-admin or the frontend of your site via a Customize link in the adminbar. In both cases, the transition begs the question: am I still where I started? Is this admin, or my site? I believe that we should optimize for the frontend flow, where the app is bootstrapped and the Customizer becomes an editing mode you can seamlessly enter. Frontend editing for appearance.
One thing we've seen in our user testing is that users (especially new ones) don't care about or really understand the distinction between themes and the things you can do to customize them. They just want to get their site looking the way they want it to look. Therefore, the best customizer UX would blur the line between themes and customize-able options, freely allowing you to preview different "designs" (themes) while then tweaking that theme's options. The Customizer's current architecture would make this impossible, as the Customizer "app" itself must do a full refresh for each theme previewed, kicking off the slow 2-request cycle.
The Customizer is the first true JS-driven feature in core.4 It reimplements a bunch of Backbone internally, since this was a release before Backbone made it into core. It's also a JS-driven app wrapped around a PHP-only public API,5 which is I guess about what you'd expect from an early WP foray into something JS-driven. But this fundamental PHP dependency makes it basically impossible to account for a seamless switching of state while changing a previewed theme: a full page reload has to happen. If the Customizer is going to be awesome, it needs to a seamless way to customize how your site looks – themes vs theme options are just implementation details.
Some folks might be reading this and wondering why I'm not trying to contribute this vision to core. 'dI love to, but I don't think it's possible architecturally, and particularly not in a backwards compatible manner. This is certainly a case where the optimal use-case on WP.com (new user signup, pre-picked list of themes) may not line up with the best user experience for core users. I might be wrong about this, thus this post. I would genuinely love to be wrong, but I've worked with the Customizer extensively over the past two years and I'm pretty sure I'm not.


In Scotland, owners of small solar installations may soon find it much easier to connect their rooftop solar projects to the grid. This is due to negotiations the Solar Trade Association (STA) Scotland recently conducted with the Distribution Network Operator Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN). STA based these on various case studies, which proved that small to mid-size rooftop solar installations do, in fact, have only a very modest network impact. The DNO then made further calculations and, as a result, agreed to relax restrictions from 1st April 2018. This means that owners of installations of up to 200 kW will now find it easier and cheaper to get connected to the grid.
Before now, SPEN requested a 'Statement of Works' from developers and owners who intended to connect their installations to the grid. This applied to any solar project of more than 11 kW and meant a long and expensive process, during which an analysis of possible impact on transition loads at national level had to be obtained. In some cases, this could add as much as 10,000 GBP (= 14,000 USD) to the project costs.
With the new, easier procedure, it is now to be expected that solar should soon become even more attractive to developers and investors in Scotland, especially where commercial rooftop and multi-scheme new build housing are concerned. Meanwhile, STA are working towards more solutions that will bring solar forward as a major alternative to non-renewable energy.

Investment Company: Quick Beef Plant Sale Needed
An investment company that loaned a troubled South Dakota beef plant $35 million last September says Northern Beef Packers has no cash and a quick sale is needed to preserve the value of the state-of-the-art facility. The Aberdeen plant filed for protection under Chapter 11 last month.
DIRK LAMMERS, Associated Press
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — An investment company that loaned a troubled South Dakota beef plant $35 million last September says Northern Beef Packers has no cash and a quick sale is needed to preserve the value of the state-of-the-art facility.
The Aberdeen plant filed for protection under Chapter 11 last month. The bankruptcy court in Sioux Falls will look at the company's plan to obtain credit to move forward with a sale or restructuring during a hearing scheduled for Thursday morning.
In a memo filed Wednesday, White Oak Global Advisors attorney Roger Damgaard said the plant needs money to pay security guards and a skeleton staff of essential employees and assist with the bankruptcy case.
"The Debtor is not operating and has no cash," Damgaard wrote. "The Debtor's primary asset, the Aberdeen beef processing facility, currently sits idle and is in dire need of funding to pay critical post-petition expenses necessary to preserve value."
Once locally owned, Northern Beef Packers is 41 percent owned by businessman Oshik Song with 69 other Korean investors who each gave at least $500,000 under the federal EB-5 program that encourages foreign investment in exchange for qualifications to secure permanent residency.
Land for the $109 million plant was first secured in 2006, but the company wasn't able to slaughter its first animal until late in 2012 and has since struggled to raise the operating funds to ramp up to full capacity.
Now, with $138.8 million in liabilities and just $79.3 million in assets, according to court documents, the plant has laid off most of its employees and is trying to figure out how it can restructure to resume production or sell.
Dennis Hellwig, an Aberdeen livestock businessman who was once Northern Beef's largest investor, sold his interest about four years ago. But he said a plant processing 1,500 head per day is still needed in the region to serve cattle ranchers in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota.
"It's the right deal, it just has to get financed with enough money," Hellwig said. "Somebody will come along with the right program, but they need to change some stuff down there."
Hellwig invested in Northern Beef Packers in 2006 in response to then Gov. Mike Rounds' South Dakota Certified Beef initiative. Rounds hoped to get the state's ranchers premium prices by allowing consumers to track animals from birth, through a feedlot and to a meatpacking plant.
But just as construction of the plant was about to begin, local opponents forced a public referendum on the TIF bond plan. Voters gave their thumbs up, but then heavy spring rains brought severe flooding, prompting more delays.
Northern Beef Packers meanwhile used EB-5 to attract investors and spur the start of construction, and Hellwig stepped down as general partner when the Korean investors asked to buy out his shares.
The new owners recruited another round of EB-5 investors, but the new investment fund provided loan money instead of equity shares in the company. Northern Beef eventually began to ramp up production earlier this year to about 200 head a day — far short of the 1,500 capacity — after obtaining additional financing.

Russia plans massive military investment
President Medvedev wants more planes, tanks, missiles, and warships. His defense minister argues that Washington wants to drive Russia into a strategic corner.
By Fred Weir
MOSCOW – The diplomatic tone between Russia and the US may have sweetened since Barack Obama took office, but Russian leaders are adopting a tougher line than ever when addressing their domestic audience.
Speaking to a room of Russian Army brass on Tuesday, President Dmitry Medvedev pledged massive hikes in military spending and stepped-up procurement of nuclear missiles, tanks, fighter planes, and a new generation of deep-water warships, including aircraft carriers.
Despite a galloping economic crisis, "significant funds have been earmarked for the development and purchase," of these weapons, Mr. Medvedev said.
He did not specify the amounts to be spent on new arms, but said the increases will not take effect until 2011. The daily newspaper Kommersant reported Wednesday that Russia might actually cut its military expenditures for next year amid a hurricane of budgetary woes.
A "qualitative" upsurge in Russian military development is necessary because conflict looks more likely than ever in the present world, Medvedev argued. "Threats remain that can bring about local crises and international terrorism; NATO is not halting its efforts to widen its military infrastructure near the borders of our country," he added.
In a separate statement, Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov called for a robust military response to what he described as Washington's attempts to drive Russia into a strategic corner. "US aspirations have been aimed at getting access to raw materials, energy, and other resources," of the former USSR, he said. "Active support was given to attempts to push Russia out of its traditional sphere of interests."
Russia has been discussing military renewal for several years (click here for a Monitor story) as Soviet-era hardware deteriorates, the old-fashioned conscript army grows increasingly dysfunctional, and fresh military challenges emerge. Last summer's flash war against the neighboring ex-Soviet republic of Georgia was won handily by Russia's Caucasus-based 58th Army, but postwar analyses highlighted disastrous shortcomings that cost the Russian forces dearly (in-depth coverage on the fallout posted here).
Russia has also been moving to bolster its regional alliance system and develop military cooperation with neighboring China (see Monitor's coverage here), which also happens to be one of the biggest clients for Russian arms sales.
Some experts suggest that the sudden burst of strident talk coming out of Moscow, including declarations of rearmament and proposals to base Russian nuclear-capable bombers in Latin America (for more on that, click here), is mostly political atmospherics aimed at putting Obama on the defensive when he meets with Medvedev on the sidelines of the G-20 conference in London next month to renegotiate the strategic relationship between the two countries.
But others say Russia's rearmament plans are very real, and may even be long overdue. "We are not happy at all with the Army we have," says Viktor Baranets, a military expert with the independent Moscow daily Komsomolskaya Pravda.
"It may have won the Caucasus war, but it proved itself to be an outdated Army of the Soviet type. Even though some parts still work well, such as the strategic missile command, our Army is basically good for nothing," he says.
The message delivered by Medvedev is that Russia will no longer scrimp and save at the expense of its armed forces. "This statement is mainly for domestic consumption, to reassure the Russian public that we are ready to meet all challenges," Mr. Baranets adds.

Q: Design applications with dynamic data if the application receives its data from remote server then we should save our data in the local database and have our UI load data from the local database for better UX right? Our UI should not load data from servers directly it will result in bad UX. Now my question is I am developing an e-commerce application and it's data is very dynamic it can change anytime. The product can go out of stock, it's price and the discount amount can change etc. So how to keep up with it. If I refresh local database every time user opens application then what will be the benefit of the local database. If any of you had faced the similar situation or worked on any e-commerce applications then please me suggest me better ways. Any help would be appreciated. I do not know if this is a right platform to ask this questions.

A: There are some solutions. You can use push notifications using Parse, for instance, when your MySQL changes. Or you can use JobManager to enqueue custom synchronization tasks. I recommend you to see this video and check out the video project: https://github.com/yigit/dev-summit-architecture-demo
This reflects your problem very good and it is a very nice solution and, the most important, it is developed by a Google employee.
I hope it helps you!

Q: Airflow don't send emails of dags on failure I have Airflow running inside docker, we already configured the SMTP in the airflow.cfg and created a test dag with email on failure enable, but it fails with the error "WARNING - section/key [smtp/smtp_user] not found in config"
As SMTP we use mailgun through port 587.
Do you know if there is another configuration file that needs to be edited?
Here it is the log, airflow.cfg, and the DAGs settings.

Something that I've noticed is that when it fails, it points to configuration.py (line 13) instead of airflow.cfg, during the docker build process we already change this to use airflow.cfg.
If we go to the admin tab to the configuration settings it is pointing to /usr/local/airflow/airflow.cfg.
Thanks, best regards.


On election night last week, NBC's Brian Williams interviewed Jose Diaz Ballart, the Telemundo anchor, who said that if Harry Reid was elected, he better learn to say "muchas gracias," because Latino's turned out to vote for him at levels that matched or exceeded those of the 2008 presidential election.
This pattern was repeated in a number of other high profile races in the West. While the dynamics in each case vary, Latino's played key roles in Democratic victories in Colorado, Nevada and California, and in the process highlighted what should be a concerning trend for Republicans.
In Nevada, Sharron Angle went out of her way to make not so subtle racial appeals in her closing arguments. This, combined with a strong get out the vote effort by Harry Reid's campaign helped propel Reid to an upset. In Colorado, Latinos combined with women to help Michael Bennet buck the trend and win a close race against Tea Party candidate Ken Buck. Meanwhile in California, the allegations made by Meg Whitman's maid and the way in which she handled them combined with another strong get out the vote effort focusing on Latinos helped not only Jerry Brown, but also Barbara Boxer. Over 1 in 5 voters in California were Latino in this election cycle and they broke overwhelmingly for Democrats.
Gil Cedillo points out that George Bush and Karl Rove saw the importance of Latino voters in building a successful Republican party in the long term, but that many Republican politicians have been focused on short-term political gain that can come from scapegoating Latinos, especially in the Republican primaries. While this may be a successful strategy in some parts of the country, it will become less and less so as time goes on.
Republicans may want to consider the fate of the Republican party in California, who never recovered from Pete Wilson's attempt to deny illegal immigrant children access to school in 1994. Pete Wilson won that election, but he was the last non-action hero Republican to win a major statewide office in the state.
We can only hope that the Republicans are dumb enough to follow his lead nationwide.

Apple's Foray Into the Self-Driving Car Market
01 Monday May 2017
Posted by Carlos Gamino in Uncategorized
A few years behind Google and about 30 other companies, Apple has finally applied for a permit to begin testing self-driving cars in California. They're using three Lexus RX 450h hybrid sport utility vehicles to undertake Project Titan, and CEO Tim Cook says the company is ready.
"We are always looking at new things, and the car space in general is an area that it's clear that there are a lot of technologies that will either become available or will be able to revolutionize the car experience," Cook said last October.
In a statement issued last December, Apple said, "Apple uses machine learning to make its products and services smarter, more intuitive and more personal. The company is investing heavily in the study of machine learning and automation, and is excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation."
Analysts believe that self-driving vehicles are about to give way to a market worth tens of billions of dollars in the next few years. However, in mid-2016, a self-driving Tesla was involved in a fatal crash that cast doubts on the future of the industry.
Apple doesn't appear interested in manufacturing their own cars, like Tesla and General Motors are. Instead, they appear to be focused on gadgets and software that runs behind the scenes—much like Google is. (Last year, Google announced their plans to adapt 100 Chrysler minivans to their self-driving technology.)
Would you ride in a self-driving car if you could take control of the vehicle when necessary? Do you think this is a budding new industry, or is it a fad that won't really go anywhere? I'd love to hear what you think, so please share your thoughts on my Facebook page or on Twitter.

Much like the NV Lineup, the online experience had to reflect a new way of doing things. In addition to art direction and designing the standard brand website, I also lead coordination efforts with three separate technology vendors to build an all-in-one configurator. The results lead to an experience where customers could customize their work vehicle from model selection to interior organization and logo application in one stop. Nissan also took our visual direction and used it for all other applications of their commercial vehicle brand.

Is Muscle Testing by Health Practitioners Effective?
Manual muscle testing is used by physical therapists. Complementary health experts use a similar test for food sensitivities. Is the test accurate?
Some chiropractors and other holistic health practitioners use the technique of muscle testing to answer questions like these. Well, at least the first two questions. You can also use the technique on yourself to answer the third question.
But is the test accurate? Is it accepted by clinical research? And even if it's not supported by science, does that mean anybody who uses the testing method is a quack? Lots of people use homeopathy despite the fact the mainstream medical community is often hostile to it.
The answers to these questions depends on the type of testing. Or, more accurately, what the test is used for, how it's used, and by whom. Physical therapists use manual muscle testing techniques to assess a patient's ability to contract a specific muscle.
An example of the testing used in physical therapy would be if you had nagging shoulder pain and visited a physical therapist. The PT would have you perform a series of muscle tests. These tests would evaluate the range of motion in a given joint to determine where the muscle weakness is coming from.
Physical therapists evaluate patients' range of motion using manual muscle testing grades. These grades range from Grade 0 to Grade 5. The higher the grade, the greater the ability of the patient to fully complete a range of motion and resist the applied pressure of the physical therapist.
The test used for muscle strength, at least the method practiced during physical therapy evaluations, is widely accepted in the medical community. However, the techniques that chiropractors, fitness trainers, nutritionists and other alternative health practitioners use is a different story.
Both the chiropractor and physical therapist are assessing muscle weakness. But the chiropractor is not only assessing muscle weakness. The chiropractor (or nutritionist, etc.) is testing for food allergies and sensitivities. Alternative health practitioners who use the techniques also evaluate if a supplement will be beneficial for a patient and if so, what an effective dosage would be.
Also called "Applied Kinesiology," muscle testing techniques were developed by a chiropractor in the mid-1960s. There's an International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK), which requires participants to already be certified or accredited in a field of medicine, either medical or complementary.
With the patient's outstretched non-dominant arm fully extended and engaged, the chiropractor applies resistance to the wrist. If the patient's arm easily drops or is pushed down, the chiropractor may determine eggs cause an imbalance in the patient. Conversely, if the patient is able to resist the applied pressure, then eggs do not represent a problem.
ICAK frowns upon practitioners who use only this form of muscle testing. However, this is the test that is most often used by alternative practitioners to assess not only nutrients, but other lifestyle factors. The method is used to assess sensitivity to electronics (EMFs) and alcohol, etc.
One study published in Explore concludes no, it's not. The test involved 51 participants in three phases. The first trial was done by one kinesiologist. The second was administered by another kinesiologist. The third test was a self-administered test. This self muscle test uses a hand grip device, called a dynamometer. The participants either were muscle tested with a vial of saline solution (harmless) or a vial containing a toxic solution. The test was double-blind. This means that neither the participants nor the kinesiologists were aware of what vial they were holding.
Make an "OK" sign with your non-dominant hand. After asking a question out loud, with the pointer finger with your other hand, try to break the seal of the pointer finger and thumb on your "OK" hand. If the seal can be broken, then the answer is no.
Self-muscle testing is used to get answers to the subconscious mind. This is at least what proponents of the test believe. There's also the swaying back or forth test. This involves standing upright. If the answer is a positive affirmation, you will lean forward. Or, if the answer negatively impacts you, you will sway back. If an answer is neutral, you won't sway back or lean forward.
Some people use this self test to determine sources of anger or irritability. "Am I in a bad mood because my mother-in-law wouldn't mind got on my nerves the other day?" Or, people can use the techniques to answer that very important question in the beginning of this post: Hawaii or Costa Rica for vacation?
One of the biggest criticisms of muscle testing for allergies is that there's no definitive clinical proof it's accurate. It's hard for the patient's or practitioner's bias to be factored in the equation during the test. For example, if a chiropractor believes gluten is bad for everybody, maybe the chiropractor will use increased pressure in the muscle test. And, if the patient possesses a predetermined notion that the chiropractor thinks gluten is bad, then maybe the patient will apply less resistance, either consciously or subconsciously.
As mentioned above, practitioners of muscle testing for allergies will use a vial containing an extract or sample of a particular food substance or allergen. While you hold the vial, the practitioner will instruct you to hold the vial in front of different organs of your body. If you show any muscle weakness, it's assumed you may have a food allergy.
As for self-muscle testing, there's no way to factor out bias. If you really love ice cream, maybe the seal of the thumb and pointer finger wouldn't break after you ask, "Is ice cream bad for me?
Although clinical research does not support the use of the testing method for food allergies, there is no doubt many people believe it's effective. And if sugar pills, placebos or using a muscle test make people feel better, where's the harm in that?


There is an argument as to how many covered bridges exist in Georgia. The Georgia DOT has 16 on their list, the purists argue that the number should be 13 or 14 due to stylistic differences, or more prominently upkeep has changed the very nature of the structure. But anyway you slice it, a covered bridge spanning a piece of water in the Georgia Countryside is a pretty sight. There is one not to far from Athens, in the town of Watkinsville where you get the treat of still being able to drive across in your car. This is the Elder's Mill Covered Bridge .
We stopped by there when we were driving South on 15 from Athens to Eatonton. There's a sign for the turn pointing out the Bridge and its located a scant 8/10ths of a mile down the aptly named Elder's Mill Bridge Road. A tremendous spot to stop and stretch your legs on a car trip.
The Bridge was built by Nathaniel Richardson in 1897 and it originally carried folks across Calls Creek on Watkinsville-Athens Road (which I believe may now be 441). After a little over 25 years of use, the bridge was moved to its present location in 1924, carried by wagon by John Chandler. The new creek it spans is Rose Creek, which I have seen referred to as Elder's Mill Creek, and, alternately the bridge is sometimes called the Rose Creek Bridge. The bridge is 100 feet long and is built in the town lattice style. I couldn't find out much about the Mill itself except that it closed down in 1941, and was presumably near the original Calls Creek site.
Not exciting enough for you? Danger you are looking for? Looking for more thrills than picturesque scenery? How about going there knowing this: this bridge has the second lowest structural safety score, according to a 2007 Federal Highway Administration scoring a 14.5 (out of 100). But don't fret, it sits on a sporadically used road and we crossed it twice without a single gasp. And considering its still usable after 110 years without reinforcements, I'd say that's some fine American workmanship. And remember, its still a beautiful spot. The Watkinsville Garden Club has done some planting on both sides of the bridge, and there is even some grumblings it might become a full fledge park one day.
But remember, as the popularity of covered bridges waned, and time took its toll, we only have 13 (or 14 or 16) of these historical structures to get to know and appreciate. Elder's Mill Bridge sits waiting for you, if you are ever in Oconee County, as a pleasant reminder of things past.

My father became a grandfather when he was 70 years old. I do not think he ever thought he would become a grandfather. He met his first grandchild when she was 3 days old.
So grandfather took his grandchild in his arms and forever changed his world. Granddaughter was his everything, his first and his last. At night he did his best to appease her, for she cried, day and night. During the day he walked like a peacock behind the pram, or put on his running shoes and went for a run. Nothing was too much or too little for his grandchild. For the first three years he was a grandfather or a distance, because we lived abroad.
He was a grandfather up close, but for two too short years.
Today two years ago we heard totally out of nothing that he was incurably ill. This was a running race that he would not win. A few months before he ran a half marathon, running was his passion. Until he got a cough that did not go away, from one thing the other came. The death sentence. Granddaughter knew that grandfather was ill, but how ill she did not know. Grandpa knew how sick he was. For his grandchild he found it much worse than for himself. How would she feel underneath? Grandpa had been running with her that summer before, a round of athletics job. A running shirt for her, a cap here, a sweatband there.
Grandpa came to our home one week before his death. Just out of his chair. According to grandfather, that was a 'coughing fit and he lost his balance'. Granddaughter was shocked. Grandpa then spoke to her. He said 'sorry I scared you'. It was the last time they would see each other. The next day I was in hospital with him, a conversation with the chemo nurse. He did not have many questions, other than 'may I still come near my granddaughter, because she is my everything ". That was, of course, allowed.
They talked to each other that weekend, the night before he suddenly died. He had to 'not grumble too much at the sisters'. He promised not to do that. The next morning, when we were ready to bring granddaughter to school, we received a phone call. It was over and out. Granddaughter said "he has seen that I can cycle, so he does not think I need him". At the cremation she saw him for a moment, now he was again a grandfather or a distance.
Granddaughter has the running genes of grandpa, twice a week she now runs laps on 'their' athletics track. I started running again, exactly one year after his death.
And grandpa? He watches from a distance.
So you enjoy the pregnancy: The benefits of being pregnant!

The Problem Is Systemic Victimhood, Not Systemic Racism
I was a sheltered white girl working my way through my teen years, when circumstances suddenly threw me into regular contact with minority children and families in inner city Minneapolis. Although it was a bit of a culture shock and sometimes difficult, I quickly grew to love the time I spent teaching, talking with, and growing to love the kids from a range of racial and socioeconomic backgrounds.
I've learned a lot of things over the more than 20 years spent with these children and their families. But one thing I've learned especially is that racism comes in more flavors than simply white against black.
It's a little hard to know how exactly to term one version of this, but the best way I can think of is to call it "black-on-black racism." This kind of racism came to my attention in the form of a single mother with several children. She was doing her best to get her life together, raising her children to be upstanding citizens, trying to live her own life in a morally upright way, holding down a job, and trying to climb the ladder of success. Yet in return for her efforts her fellow blacks accused her of "being white."
Although I'm sure those comments hurt her greatly, this woman disregarded them and pressed on, trying to overcome her difficulties and get ahead in the world. Yet I've seen others who have had similar comments thrown at them give up, preferring to run with the crowd than be ostracized by their own community.
I am not the only person to have noticed this trend. Scholar and author Anthony Esolen highlights a similar scenario in the February issue of Chronicles, writing:
It is bad to be a young black man reading and enjoying Shakespeare, meeting the sneers of his black classmates, who call him 'white' inside. It is worse to be that fellow who could and should be in love with learning, having his heart cut out by the contempt, and courting indifference instead of interest, and failure instead of triumph. It is worst of all to be those who do this to him, confirming themselves in their own incapacity.
Esolen goes on to call this "a self-perpetuating and self-destructive falsehood" in which "blacks, encouraged to look upon whites as inveterate enemies, begin to dress, talk, and act in antisocial ways." Such behavior "keep[s] racism burning."

Q: EXC_BAD_ACCESS occurred when assign char with a poitner EXC_BAD_ACCESS occurred in *str++ = *end;. What's wrong with this?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    char *hello = "abcdefgh";
    char c = 'c';
    char *str = hello;
    //printf("%s",str);
    char * end = str;
    char tmp;
    if (str) {
        while (*end) {
            ++end;
        }
        --end;
        while (str < end) {
            tmp = *str;
            printf("hello:%s str:%c, end:%c\n", hello, *str, *end);
            *str++ = *end;
            *end-- = tmp;

        }
    }

    return 0;
}

A: It is undefined behavior to attempt to alter a string literal.  Change your code to the equivalent below, and you will see the issue:
const char *hello = "abcdefgh";
const char *str = hello;
const char * end = str;

So do you see why the line *str++ = *end; had a problem?  You're attempting to write to a const area, and you can't do that.
If you want an even simpler example:
int main()
{
  char *str = "abc";
  str[0] = 'x';
}

Don't be surprised if this simple program produces a crash or segmentation fault when the
str[0] = 'x';
line is executed.
Unfortunately, string-literals did not have to be declared as const char* in C, and C++ brought this syntax over.  So even though it looks like you are not using const, you are.
If you want the code to actually work, declare a writeable buffer, i.e. an array of char:
char hello[] = "abcdefgh";
char str[100];
strcpy(str, hello);
char end[100];
strcpy(end, str);

A: It seems like you're trying to reverse the string. It also looks like you're overcomplicating things.
C-style strings declared on the stack have to be declared as const char *, which means you can't change the characters as they are constant.
In C++ we use strings, and string iterators:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using std::string;
using std::reverse;
using std::swap;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    string hello("abcdefgh");
    reverse(hello.begin(), hello.end());
    cout << hello << endl;
    return 0;
}

Manually:
static void reverse(std::string & str)
{
    string::size_type b = 0, e = str.length() - 1, c = e / 2;
    while(b <= c)
    {
        swap(str[b++], str[e--]);
    }
}

Recursively:
static void reverse_helper(std::string & str,
                            string::size_type b,
                            string::size_type e)
{
    if(b >= e)
        return;
    swap(str[b], str[e]);
    reverse_helper(str, ++b, --e);
}

static void reverse(std::string & str)
{
    reverse_helper(str, 0, str.length() - 1);
}

In a story Nov. 16 about a referee's finding that the New York lawyer who won a landmark oil pollution judgment against Chevron in Ecuador never got a fair hearing and should be allowed to defend himself against disbarment, The Associated Press reported erroneously that attorney Steven Donziger was suspended for malpractice. Donziger was suspended for misconduct. And it should have mentioned that an international arbitration tribunal in the Hague ruled in August that the $9.5 billion judgment against Chevron obtained in 2011 by plaintiffs represented by a legal team led by Donziger violated Chevron's rights. It ruled the judgment should not be recognized or enforced because parts of it were "corruptly ghostwritten" in return for the promise of a bribe. The tribunal did not, however, absolve Chevron of potential liability for pollution.
A New York attorney who won a landmark oil pollution judgment against Chevron in Ecuador's court system only to have his law license suspended at home for professional misconduct never got a fair hearing and should be allowed to defend himself against disbarment, a legal referee has ruled.
The decision involves Steven Donziger, who led a legal team representing Ecuadoreans trying to get Chevron to pay for environmental damage caused to a rainforest by Texaco during its operation of an oil consortium from 1972 to 1990.
The legal campaign begun in 1993 was ultimately successful in Ecuador. A court there ordered Chevron to pay $9.5 billion. But in 2014, a judge in New York, U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, invalidated the Ecuador judgment, deeming it was obtained through fraud, bribery, witness tampering and other misconduct.
In July, a New York State appeals court suspended Donziger without a hearing based on Kaplan's ruling that the attorney's Ecuador team submitted bogus evidence, ghostwrote a court-appointed expert's report and promised $500,000 to the Ecuadorean judge to rule in their favor.
Donziger fought those findings and denies he offered or paid bribes.
A court-appointed referee, John R. Horan, ruled on Nov. 8 that Donziger deserves a hearing to defend himself. He also questioned whether Kaplan violated Donziger's constitutional right to due process.
Kaplan effectively "created a criminal indictment" and tried Donziger for conspiracy, Horan said.
"It is doubtful that if an indictment in the same terms had been brought by the United States Attorney, (Donziger) would have elected to have a trial by a single judge and would have waived his right to a trial by jury," the referee wrote.
Horan said he would grant Donziger two days beginning Dec. 4 to argue why he should not be disbarred.
The chief attorney for the New York State grievance committee trying the case, Jorge Dopico, filed a motion on Nov. 15 arguing that Horan had no right to re-examine Kaplan's ruling and asking a state appeals court to cancel the Dec. 4 hearing.
A spokeswoman for Dopico said he does not comment on disciplinary cases. The referee, Horan, said he could not discuss the case because the court had marked it confidential.
The state court in New York suspended Donziger for "serious professional misconduct which immediately threatens the public interest" four years after Kaplan's ruling. The District of Columbia also suspended his law license.
Under New York's disbarment procedure, the court renders a verdict after receiving the recommendation of the court-appointed referee, who is not a court employee.
Martin Garbus, a renowned constitutional lawyer representing Donziger in the case, said its importance goes far beyond the particulars of the environmental dispute because of the precedent it could set for all attorneys in the country.
"They're trying to break him in half," Garbus said of Chevron's treatment of Donziger, painting him as a solitary David against a deep-pocketed corporate Goliath.
Chevron did not directly respond to comment on Garbus' claim. It did note, however, that the Kaplan judgment was final in the U.S. given that it was upheld by an appeals court and that the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the case.
Donziger said he will appeal, if necessary, to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Ecuadorean plaintiffs say the cleanup was a sham and didn't exempt third-party claims.
An international arbitration tribunal in the Hague ruled in August that the $9.5 billion judgment against Chevron obtained in 2011 by plaintiffs represented by a legal team led by Donziger violated Chevron's rights. It ruled the judgment should not be recognized or enforced because parts of it were "corruptly ghostwritten" in return for the promise of a bribe. The tribunal did not, however, absolve Chevron of potential liability for pollution.
Chevron insists there is no merit to the allegations of environmental harm.


Facebook will enable its Safety Check feature more regularly in response to emergency situations around the world, the company announced this week.
The move comes in response to criticism that the social network received in the wake of last week's Paris terror attacks, which killed more than 130 people. Facebook enabled Safety Check for that situation, but was lambasted for not enabling it in response to the bombings that took place a day before in Beirut, Lebanon, which saw more than 40 people killed.
And while the criticism was heaviest from those affected by the Beirut crisis, many others also pointed out that terror attacks and natural disasters happen regularly, and that Facebook has a responsibility to enable Safety Check for those events, too.
Safety Check is still in its early days, and was first rolled out in October last year. It allows Facebook users to 'check in' as safe if they are in an area experiencing a disaster. Once someone has checked in as safe, their friends are given a notification saying that the user is safe. It has only been activated a handful of times since it was launched. The social network this week vowed that it would now be rolling the feature out more frequently in times of crisis.
"Many people have rightfully asked why we turned on Safety Check for Paris but not for bombings in Beirut and other places," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on his official Facebook account on Saturday.

Ok, i am adding YouTube videos to the site! This because Google has bought them, and the videos at YouTube could very well be claimed to be 'google videos' :). Does it work well for everyone?
seems fine to me... only the sound is wierd, it makes a clicking sound every few seconds. but perhaps its in the original too?
Skitbra ju Ulf, helt rätt!
Add all the cool movies you can find, mate, noone will mind :) P.S. What a DUMBASS.
ULF you added date and time about time !!! =) This video made me laugh so hard excellent!
I was always wondering, is there a way to only see all "funny" videos or all "carzy" videos?
Ulf - I understand the reasoning to add youtube to find more 'best of', but that website is fickle about what you can post. I often find music videos (like weird al for example) one day and the next its gone. Wouldn't it hurt the archive of this site if that happened?
Funniest thing I´ve seen all year!
wow.. what a moron.. he must have been stoned out of his mind! this is hilarious!
I am surpize we haven't seen this on Americas Funniest!!! Thanks I needed a LOL.
America's funniest shouuld include this!
atleast hes still alive :D lol thats some first class moron.

'Easier for Messi to PSG than Neymar back to Barça'
Football Italian Serie A Spanish La Liga
Tshepiso Mametela
ONE FOOTBALL AGENT has opined it would be "easier for Lionel Messi to go to PSG than for Neymar to return to Barcelona." Wagner Ribeiro, a Brazilian football agent whose more famous clients include Atletico MG's Robinho and the ex-Real Madrid coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, is adamant.
Read: BREAKING – 2020/21 Premier League fixtures, Jan to May 2021
He, however, like the rest of the football world, is waiting to see how the script will unfold in Europe ahead of the summer. This as Neymar, now a Ligue 1 winner and a Champions League finalist with Paris Saint-Germain, continues to be linked with a move back to the Nou Camp.
Brazil and PSG wonder boy Neymar has been linked with a return back to the Nou Camp for some time (Image: Sourced).
Barça have made no secret of the fact that they would welcome a familiar face back onto their books, with the Catalan giants starved of inspiration after enduring a humbling end to their 2019/20 campaign. But interest in Neymar could remain just that … interest. There is no denying the financial devastation which has impacted even Europe's elite clubs, such as Barça, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
PSG have also stated on a regular basis that they have no intention of parting with their prized assets. But with Messi future under the microscope in Catalonia, with rumours suggesting the six-time Ballon d'Or has asked to leave before his contract is up at the end of next season, perhaps there is a likelihood he could end up in Paris.
Neymar's Paris Saint-Germain have made their first-ever Champions League final and will face Bayern Munich (Image: Getty Images).
"Neymar is happy and, I think, he will stay at PSG for at least two more years," Ribeiro said in an interview. "Today, without a doubt, it is easier for Messi to go to PSG than for Neymar to return to Barcelona … I'm serious, you can't doubt Qatar's economic power."
Ribeiro conceded that Neymar was prepared to throw open the exits doors in Paris at one stage, but is now feeling settled at the Parisian giants; harbouring no intention to push for a move elsewhere. "At that time he was open to leaving [because of his injuries], to return to Barcelona or going to Real Madrid. Not today, you can see his joy," added Ribeiro.
PSG, who have reached a Champions League final for the first time, will face German giants Bayern Munich at the Estadio de Luz in Lisbon on Sunday, August 23.

Q: Extracting text between HTML tags using perl I have HTML tags in a document as follows:
>
ACCESS_NUMBER

I want to  extract only ACCESS_NUMBER from the above HTML text.
How can I do this? I want to make sure only the text between all
 tags is extracted.
Any help would be appreciated.

A: Use Mojo::DOM
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Mojo::DOM;
my $HTML = <<"EOF";

<title>Test</title>

ACCESS_NUMBER

EOF

my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new( $HTML );
print $dom->find('h2 font b')->text;

For a 8 minute video tutorial on Mojo::DOM and Mojo::UserAgent check out Mojocast Episode 5

A: Based on what's given above, this will work, but something tells me you have more complicated HTML and/or you actually want \d+.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

while(<DATA>){
    print "$1\n" if />(\w+)</;
}

__DATA__
<H2
   align="justify"
  ACCESS_NUMBERS
  </H2

A: For each line remove html tags like this:
$l=~s/<.+?>/ /g; # Replace each tag with a space so you don't get run-on words.

What you're left with is only text with no html tags.
I use software that uses tags (not html) which I have to remove, so I do this a lot.

Q: Combine matrices using loop and condition in matlab I have the following two matrices
c=[1 0 1.05
   1 3 2.05
   1 6 2.52
   1 9 0.88
   2 0 2.58
   2 3 0.53
   2 6 3.69
   2 9 0.18
   3 0 3.22
   3 3 1.88
   3 6 3.98]

f=[1 6 3.9
   1 9 9.1
   1 12 9
   2 0 0.3
   2 3 0.9
   2 6 1.2
   2 9 2.5
   3 0 2.7]

And the final matrix should be
n=[1 6 2.52 3.9
   1 9 0.88 9.1
   2 0 2.58 0.3
   2 3 0.53 0.9
   2 6 3.69 1.2
   2 9 0.18 2.5
   3 0 3.22 2.7]

The code I used gives as a result only the last row of the previous matrix [n].
for j=1
  for i=1:rs1
     for k=1
          for l=1:rs2
               if f(i,j)==c(l,k) && f(i,j+1)==c(l,k+1)
                  n=[f(i,j),f(i,j+1),f(i,j+2), c(l,k+2)];
               end
          end
      end
   end
 end

Can anyone help me on this?
Is there something more simple?
Thanks in advance

A: According to this answer on Mathworks support you can use join from the statistics toolbox, specifically in your case, an inner join.
Unfortunately I don't have access to my computer with matlab on it, but give it a try and let us know how/if it works.

A: If you insist on doing this in a loop you need to give n the proper dimension according
 to the loop counter you are using, or concatenate it to itself of each iteration (this can be very slow for big matrices). For example, writing:
for j=1
  for i=1:rs1
    for k=1
      for l=1:rs2
           m=m+1;
           if f(i,j)==c(l,k) && f(i,j+1)==c(l,k+1)
              n(m,:)=[f(i,j),f(i,j+1),f(i,j+2), c(l,k+2)];
           end
       end
    end
  end
end

will save into the m-th row the for numbers when the loop reaches a counter value of m.
However, just be aware that this can be done also without a nested loop and an if condition, in a vectorized way. For example, instead of the condition if f(i,j)==c(l,k)... you can use ismember etc...

A: You can reduce the number of loops by comparing both the first and second columns of at once, then using the "all" function to only collapse the values if they both match. The following snippet replicates the "n" array you had provided.
n = [];
for r1 = 1:size(c, 1)
    for r2 = 1:size(f,1)
        if all(c(r1, [1 2]) == f(r2, [1 2]))
            n(end+1, 1:4) = [c(r1,:) f(r2,3)];
        end
    end
end

A: You should learn to use set operations and avoid loops wherever possible. Here intersect could be extremely useful:
[u, idx_c, idx_f] = intersect(c(:, 1:2) , f(:, 1:2), 'rows');
n = [c(idx_c, :), f(idx_f, end)];

Explanation: by specifying the 'rows' flag, intersect finds the common rows in c and f, and their indices are given in idx_c and idx_f respectively. Use vector subscripting to extract matrix n.
Example
Let's use the example from your question:
c = [1 0 1.05;
     1 3 2.05
     1 6 2.52
     1 9 0.88
     2 0 2.58
     2 3 0.53
     2 6 3.69
     2 9 0.18
     3 0 3.22
     3 3 1.88
     3 6 3.98];

f = [1 6 3.9
     1 9 9.1
     1 12 9
     2 0 0.3
     2 3 0.9
     2 6 1.2
     2 9 2.5
     3 0 2.7];

[u, idx_c, idx_f] = intersect(c(:, 1:2) , f(:, 1:2), 'rows');
n = [c(idx_c, :), f(idx_f, end)];

This should yield the desired result:
n =
    1.0000    6.0000    2.5200    3.9000
    1.0000    9.0000    0.8800    9.1000
    2.0000         0    2.5800    0.3000
    2.0000    3.0000    0.5300    0.9000
    2.0000    6.0000    3.6900    1.2000
    2.0000    9.0000    0.1800    2.5000
    3.0000         0    3.2200    2.7000

A: How about without any for loops at all (besides in native code)
mf = size(f,1);
mc = size(c,1);
a = repmat(c(:,1:2),1,mf);
b = repmat(reshape((f(:,1:2))',1,[]),mc,1);
match = a == b;
match = match(:, 1 : 2 : 2*mf) & match(:, 2 : 2 : 2*mf);

crows = nonzeros(diag(1:mc) * match);
frows = nonzeros(match * diag(1:mf));

n = [c(crows,:),f(frows,3)]

Chrysler may have led U.S. automakers with a 48 percent sales increase, the average of six analysts' estimates, helped by higher deliveries to fleet customers.
DETROIT (Bloomberg) -- U.S. light vehicle sales in September may have run at the fastest pace since March as consumers returned to showrooms, helping the industry's recovery from the worst year in almost three decades.
Industrywide deliveries, to be released tomorrow, may have reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 11.7 million vehicles this month, according to nine analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
That would top the 9.5 million pace of last September, the month after the U.S. "cash for clunkers" program ended, and would approach the 11.8 million rate posted in May -- the year's best month so far, according to the Automotive News Data Center.
Automotive News calculates the annualized sales rate differently than other news and data providers.
Consumers are slowly returning to dealers' showrooms while remaining concerned about the security of their jobs, said Paul Ballew, chief economist for Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. in Columbus, Ohio. Deliveries for all of last year fell to 10.4 million, the lowest since 1982, compared with the average 16.8 million vehicles a year from 2000 to 2007.
"It confirms to us that the recovery has gained a little bit of momentum in the third quarter and is somewhat back on track, but it is still a very slow recovery," Ballew, a former General Motors economist, said in a telephone interview.
The Conference Board reported on Sept. 28 that consumer sentiment this month declined to the weakest level since February. The U.S. unemployment rate was 9.6 percent in August, up from 9.5 percent in July.
Chrysler Group may have led U.S. automakers with a 48 percent sales increase, the average of six analysts' estimates, helped by higher deliveries to fleet customers.
Ford Motor Co. may post a 40 percent sales increase, the average of six analysts' estimates.
Deliveries by General Motors Co. will rise 13 percent, the average of three estimates. GM's market share will fall to 18 percent, one of its lowest levels since World War II, according to TrueCar.com, an automotive pricing Web site.
Edmunds.com expects GM to hold 18.3 percent of the market.
"GM has some hot new models, but also some older vehicles that they need to replace or get rid of," said Ivan Drury, an Edmunds analyst.
Consumers are buying new cars and trucks largely because they must replace vehicles that have come off lease or broken down, said Jeff Schuster, executive director of forecasting at J.D. Power & Associates in suburban Detroit.
The worst recession since the 1930s ended in June 2009, the National Bureau of Economic Research's Business Cycle Dating Committee said Sept. 20.
Sales to individual consumers, as opposed to fleet buyers such as rental-car companies, may rise to a 9.5 million pace, the average of four analysts' estimates.
That would be the first time since mid-2008 that the retail rate exceeded 9 million vehicles for three straight months, Chris Ceraso, a Credit Suisse AG analyst, said in a Sept. 28 note.
Fleet sales will account for 19 percent of deliveries, up from 16 percent in August, Ceraso said.
Small businesses and fleet customers may have contributed to higher truck sales, said Joe Barker, senior manager of North American vehicle sales forecasts at IHS Automotive, a Lexington, Mass.-based researcher.
"They put a lot of miles on them every year and they beat them up every year and it's time to replace them," said Barker.
Tight credit for some consumers restrained deliveries, with buyers who missed mortgage payments being denied or asked to prepay as much as 30 percent of the sticker price, said Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry trends for TrueCar.
Ford was the only U.S. automaker to raise incentive spending, TrueCar said. Ford's average discounts rose 7.4 percent from last year to $2,797 per vehicle, while Chrysler decreased incentive spending by 23 percent to $3,787 and GM cut them by 11 percent to $3,403.
Honda Motor Co.'s sales growth may have outpaced its Japanese rivals. The automaker's deliveries may have risen 32 percent, according to four analysts' estimates.
Nissan Motor Co.'s sales may have climbed 30 percent and Toyota Motor Corp.'s may have increased 21 percent, according to four estimates.

You can create relative and cumulative distributions with simple formulas in Excel.
4 What Is Descriptive Marketing Research?
Knowing how to calculate relative and cumulative distribution in Excel can be useful in a variety of circumstances. It can be used in market analysis to sort a sample of people into age groups. It can also be used in sales to show monthly sales figures. Relative distribution shows the proportion of each group as a percentage of the whole. Cumulative distribution adds each group to those below it. For example, cumulative distribution can show how many people in a group are below the age of 20, compared to the number below age 40. In sales, it could show cumulative sales up to a current month.
Launch Microsoft Excel and open a new workbook by pressing "Ctrl" and "N" simultaneously on the keyboard. This example will use a room of 26 people, showing age groups to illustrate the relative and cumulative distribution of each age group in the room.
Type "Ages" in cell D1, "Distribution" in cell E1, "Relative Dist." in cell F1 and "Cumulative Dist." in cell G1.
Type "20" in cell D2, "30" in D3, "40" in D4 and "50" in D5. These numbers represent age groups for the group of people in the room.
Type "8" in cell E2, "9" in E3, "7" in E4, and "2" in cell E5. These values represent the Distribution of these age groups in the room.
Click cell "E6." Click the "AutoSum" button and then press the "Enter" key. This adds the values in the column to show that there are 26 people in the room.
Type "=E2/$E$6" in cell F2. This function divides the first Distribution value by the total number of people in the room. The "$" anchors cell E6 so it remains constant when you copy this function to the other cells in this column.
Move the cursor to the bottom right corner of cell F2. The cursor changes to a "+" symbol. Drag the mouse down from cell F2 to F5 to copy the formula into the cells of this column.
Click on a cell in this column to see that the formula has been automatically adjusted. Each cell uses the Distribution value beside it and divides this by the total in cell E6 to reveal the relative distribution.
Click in cell "G2." Type "=SUM($E$2:E2)" in the cell. For the first value in cell G2, the number will be 8, the same as in E2.
Move the cursor to the lower right corner of cell G2 until it changes to a "+" symbol. Drag the cursor down to cell G5 to fill the cells in this column with the formula.
Observe that each cell in this column now reveals the cumulative distribution of each age group. The total number of people aged 20 or below is 8; the total below age 30 is 17. The total number of people below age 40 is 24, and the total below age 50 is 26, which is the same as the total number of people in the room.

The 'Daddy yo' crooner has decided to prove to us that he is loved by many across Africa leading his way to new hit titled Sweet love. Wizkid flops hard on this track which shows he doesn't have much to offer beyond Daddy yo.
Only believe he is trying to pass a message and that's why he decided to bless us with a video showing his fans drooling to the last.
Although, Last year was the silly, mischievous but endlessly rewarding Daddy yo. On Daddy yo, Wizkid spewed forth head-scratching lyrics everything I want she give me, she tell everyday she wanna see me, Starboy Wizzy…. On his way topping every single chart that mattered.
Truth to be told, Wizkid is one of the most successful Nigerian musician whose music is not only ranged within Nigeria, but across the African border.
Following the smash success of Daddy yo, Wizkid gets all the love because his music is easy to dance and flow with i.e no clumsy lyrics.
Wizkid born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun is one of the music's hardest workers.


The following piece was written by members from Incarnation Lutheran Church that visited their sister community Chontalá in Guatemala in 2014. Originally published in the church newsletter.
The images of thousands of Central American children crossing the border alone [without documents], without their parents or any resources, shocked many of us this summer and fall. How? Why? What kind of desperation would cause parents to send their children off to this perilous, unknown future? Central American parents are just like any of us who have loved children. They dream of a better future for their sons and daughters – a future where they can have strong relationships, food on the table, and a chance to do meaningful work, love God and build families of their own.
Fortunately in one Central American [community]- Chontala, Guatemala – loving parents are finding a way to provide this life for their children without sending them away – and our faith community is a part of this. In October, five delegates representing Incarnation were blessed to travel to Chontala for our fifth trip in seven years. We reunited with families who have become part of our own family, and we visited with the 28 children we are sponsoring on their quest for a better education.
The biggest news out of our trip – nine of these children are going on to "Básico" (7th-9th grade) next year, an outcome [difficult to achieve] in a nation where few children go beyond 4th or 5th grade.
Although our trips to Chontala don't involve constructing buildings or serving food, make no mistake that together, we are serving as God's hands and feet in the world.
A huge community of fathers, mothers, grandparents and children showed up to greet us, offering hugs, food, music and dancing. We felt immediately loved and welcomed back to this [community]. We couldn't even carry our own luggage – everyone swarmed to help us.
Every morning and evening, parents and children worked together over woodstoves in their…houses, grinding corn and shaping tortillas by hand, and sharing their bowls of beans, rice and chicken with us.
Children were eager to read the short, student-made paper books we brought with us. They cared for each other – older siblings carrying and caring for younger siblings – and they happily played with us, reading, looking at our cameras, playing catch and card games.
At an ecumenical service, attended by over 130 children and their parents, we worshiped God with our Guatemalan hermanamiento. Singing "This Little Light of Mine" together reminded us that although we are little in God's eyes, we have enormous power to share God's love.
One day, the children we support will become parents themselves, and we pray that they will be able to raise their children in peace and growing prosperity… Perhaps some of them will become teachers – or even go on to attend university. Perhaps they will become leaders in their community and country.
The light we are sharing, and the light they are spreading, is a blessing to us all. If you are [a member of Incarnation and you are] interested in joining our shared mission with the people of Chontala, Guatemala, please contact Lynda Thompson. Future trip dates will be announced soon.
