Teen accidentally shoots and kills mom, turns gun on himself
An Oklahoma teen accidentally shot and killed his mother before turning the gun on himself last weekend, a report said.
The 16-year-old was handling a gun in the living room of his family's Del City home on Saturday night when the gun accidentally discharged, KFOR reported, citing authorities.
The bullet went through a wall and fatally struck his mother in the head as she was in the kitchen, police told the news outlet.
The teen then ran outside and fatally shot himself in the street, witnesses told police.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but could not be saved.
"To be handling this firearm and then it goes off, I'm sure that was terrifying in and of itself," said Major Bradley Rule with the Del City Police Department, according to the report.
"But then to go around the corner and see the result of it, shooting your own mother, I can't imagine what he felt," said Rule.

From the start you want to expose your little ones to spices and garnishes. It doesn't have to be every meal (because hey, who has the time for that?🤷), but the idea that they are exposed to these interesting foods early on can help make for an easier, long-term culinary journey.
1. Eating with your children. Kids learn from modeling. Ever wonder why they like to play house? It's because they see YOU in that role. So using utensils, drinking from a glass, serving yourself, and having a conversation at the table help them use you as a model. Of course when they are younger, the conversation can be more targeted toward stories about the food and where it comes from.
2. Teaching the concept of "growing foods" vs. foods that don't help us grow. The solution to the processed food conundrum is not complete restriction, rather it's about teaching and understanding growing vs non growing foods.
3. Creating an inviting environment. Your food environment is equally as important as your sleep environment. Placemats, plates, cups, silverware, napkins, flowers and a candle are great additions to the table. Singing a song is also helpful to cue a child to that it is meal time.
4. Teaching your kids where food comes from. Visiting a farm, going to farmers markets, going to the store and bringing a book that illustrates how the food gets there are all great options to teach your little ones where food actually comes from.

Packaging giant taps "baseload green power" in Victoria wind PPA
By Sophie Vorrath June 19, 2018 Other Renewables 0 Comments

ASX-listed packaging giant Orora has become the latest major industrial group in Australia to shift its operations to "baseload" renewable energy, this week signing its second power purchase agreement, in this case for electricity generated by the Lal Lal wind farm, being built in Victoria.
As we reported on Monday, Macquarie Capital has closed project financing for the 228MW wind farm and, for its output, secured both a PPA with Orora, as well as what it calls an Australian-first "proxy revenue swap" (more on that later).
The 10-year offtake agreement with Lal Lal will mean that Orora sources a massive 80 per cent of its Australian energy needs from wind energy, once that project is completed in 2019. The company already powers 100 per cent of its South Australian operations via a contract with a 57MW wind farm, Clements Gap (pictured above).
In an emailed statement to RenewEconomy on Tuesday, Orora managing director Nigel Garrard said the company believed that the Victorian PPA was one of the first base load renewable deals in Australia.
"Energy price certainty and continuity of supply is a critical consideration for an energy intensive business like Orora. From our perspective, renewable energy represents a competitively priced and sustainable energy source that will safeguard supply for our Australian operations.
"As a result of the Lal Lal wind farm agreement and our earlier agreement with the Clements Gap wind farm in South Australia, 80 per cent of Orora's electricity requirements in Australia will now come from renewable sources. This is an increasingly important consideration for Orora, our customers, employees and shareholders," Garrard said.
The PPA is just the latest in a spate of major corporate deals that have connected big industrial energy users like Sun Metals, the Laverton steel works, Telstra and miners and manufacturing groups in South Australia to wind and solar.
Some, like CUB, Mars Australia, and the University of Queensland, are going the whole hog and sourcing 100 per cent of their demand with renewables – often at stunningly low prices.
For Orora – which spun out of Amcor in 2013 – the shift to clean energy kicked off in February, when the company signed an agreement with renewables developer Pacific Hydro, to see all of its South Australia energy requirements met, 24/7, by the 57MW Clements Gap Wind Farm.
This includes the company's energy intensive glass bottle operation in Gawler, in the state's south east, for which an unreliable energy supply can be potentially crippling to the manufacturing process.
At the time of the Pac Hydro deal, Garrard said renewables offered a competitively priced sustainable energy source for the business, whose energy bill had doubled over the past four years as both gas and electricity prices soared.
"Orora operates energy intensive businesses and is continuing to actively investigate a range of options to manage higher energy prices and safeguard supply for the Australian operations," Garrard said in a company statement in February.
"Renewable energy represents a competitively priced and sustainable energy source and this agreement provides Orora's SA operations with greater energy price certainty over the long-term."
According to Macquarie – which, as of yesterday, retains a 20 per cent share in Lal Lal, after selling 40 per cent stakes to Northleaf Capital Partners and InfraRed Capital Partners – this latest PPA has allowed Orora to "lock in the cost of attaining baseload green energy."
The deal also combines the PPA with a Proxy Revenue Swap (PRS), to help offset any production volume, timing of energy generation and future energy price risks – a first for the Australian renewables sector, Macquarie said.
"Our extensive experience in the renewable energy sector globally is enabling us to bring innovative transaction structures and financing solutions to the Australian market," said Ivan Varughese, Macquarie Capital's head of infrastructure, utilities and renewables, A/NZ.
"It's positive to see innovative companies such as Orora adopting new solutions like this to access renewable energy."

A's Swing for the Fences at Howard Terminal
Oakland's last pro sports team is dreaming big for itself and the city with plans to redevelop the Coliseum complex to help privately finance a ballpark with modern, bold designs next to Jack London Square.
by Chris De Benedetti
The men and women who run the A's are thinking big — for the franchise and for their eternally disrespected East Bay city — and moving forward with urgency to build a privately financed ballpark as part of a set of plans that could transform two Oakland neighborhoods.
I love the audacity of the team's proposals — because only all-star levels of chutzpah, creativity, and persistence will make this ambitious ballpark vision a reality.
Team President Dave Kaval and the A's appear to be way ahead of all of us on that front, judging by their modern, boldly designed ballpark at Howard Terminal and the ambitious proposal to redevelop the Coliseum area to pay for their 34,000-seat waterfront palace.
In addition to the ballpark, the team proposes that the 55-acre Howard Terminal site will include housing, offices, retail, restaurants, hotels, and public parks. Plans for the redeveloped Coliseum site call for a scaled down stadium as part of a community park, along with housing and a tech hub. Oracle Arena would be preserved for concerts and other events, though it might be refurbished as a smaller venue.
Plans for the redeveloped Coliseum site call for a scaled down stadium as part of a community park.
Working to corral the project's many moving parts is going to take guts and savvy, and it certainly won't be easy.
For one, Kaval and his team of front office execs are still being asked to clean up the mess left behind by Lew Wolff's 13-year odyssey of frequent and failed attempts to move the A's out of Oakland. Proposals for Fremont and the South Bay are now in the franchise's dustbin, as are the concepts that, perhaps, were never intended to succeed. (Wolff's High Street plan in East Oakland in 2006, comes to mind.)
That burden of history leaves the A's in a situation where they now must rally supporters in spite of the community's exhaustion over the team's 24-year-long ballpark search, essentially forcing Kaval and front office lieutenants Chris Giles and Taj Tashombe to fill a credibility gap and pay the bad-faith bill racked up by their predecessors.
Also, the team's announcement on Wednesday was never billed as a final contract agreement or groundbreaking. Yet some critics expressed disappointment that the gathering was not more than the mere announcement that it was advertised to be. Which is a lot like whining at a Fourth of July picnic that you didn't get the Christmas present you wanted. It's both petulant and stupid.
I was disappointed but not surprised to see many negative online responses from some baseball pundits. Knee-jerk naysayers may be fueled by ballpark-plan fatigue, but the new front office team assembled by Kaval is just getting warmed up.
In spite of the negativity from some quarters, many a die-hard A's fans went online to express excitement and hope that, at long last, this will be the plan that keeps the A's in The Town.
Meanwhile, Kaval and several East Bay leaders this week have displayed unprecedented optimism about the project's chances for success, starting with Wednesday's press conference in the A's headquarters at Jack London Square. Kaval was joined there by Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, Councilmember Larry Reid, Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley, and Port of Oakland Boar d President Ces Butner to announce that Howard Terminal is officially the team's preferred ballpark site.
The team also confirmed that it aims to buy and redevelop the 111-acre Coliseum complex to help privately finance the ballpark park six miles up the road, next to Jack London Square. They unveiled preliminary renderings by Denmark-based Bjarke Ingels Group, which the A's have hired to design the ballpark and serve as master planner for developments at both Howard Terminal and the Coliseum.
The show of unity Wednesday by East Bay politicians — who've often been known for dysfunction and division — was a major source of optimism for A's fans.
"I just want to point out this is the first time you have seen all of us up here together," Schaaf said.
Another good sign was the presence of Reid, whose East Oakland district surrounds the Coliseum complex. A year ago, the council president was a vocal critic of the A's' stated desire to leave the Coliseum site. But he sang a more positive tune Wednesday, voicing support for developments at both sites and praising the A's for an extensive community-outreach effort that has included hundreds of residents at dozens of recent neighborhood meetings.
"I wholeheartedly support the vision that [Kaval] has articulated," Reid said. "And I can't wait until the shovel goes in the ground and you actually begin to see that new baseball-only stadium going up at Howard Terminal; and, at the same time, see the transformation of 100-some-odd acres out in what I call Deep East Oakland. I think it will instill an incredible sense of pride for the residents not just in Oakland, but particularly in the area I represent."
Next, the A's will begin a year-long environmental review of the Howard Terminal site. The team also will continue negotiating with the city and county to buy 111 acres at the Coliseum complex, as well as with the Port of Oakland to acquire the waterfront land on which they aim to build the stadium. The A's and local government leaders also must figure out the cost and other details for infrastructure projects required to serve the ballpark and its ancillary development.
It's true that building at Howard Terminal and redeveloping the Coliseum won't be easy. Then again, real estate projects that radically improve and transform two areas within a big city never are. But the A's and local leaders made it clear during their joint announcement that they're committed to working together as never before to meet those challenges.
Indeed, this week's announcement felt different. In a city that has unfairly suffered so often from the low, inaccurate expectations of outsiders, it was gratifying to see a ballpark plan that revealed that A's execs are thinking big — for Oakland and the franchise.
Now comes the more difficult work, in which the A's must find answers to the project's most vexing questions. Kaval and the A's this week displayed a can-do attitude that seemed to say: Bring it on.
"This is great day for the A's and for Oakland," Kaval told The Express on Wednesday. "We're excited about the feedback we're getting, but we also know it's just the beginning, and there's lots of work to be done."
Chris De Benedetti, a co-founding member of Baseball Oakland, writes a regular sports column for the Express.

After you complete the in water training portion of the course, we will complete 10 rescue exercises in the open water, either with or without initial skills practice in confined water. Finally, you will participate in two Rescue Diver scenarios in open water.
The conclusion is to be a safer diver and to be prepared. Increase your self-confidence with knowledge and training with the PADI Rescue Diver course.

In Case You Missed It: In just a month, 25,000 California drivers sign up to support ballot measure preserving independence and flexibility
SACRAMENTO – More than 25,000 rideshare and delivery drivers have joined the Coalition to Protect App-Based Drivers & Services, demonstrating growing support behind a proposed ballot measure to protect driver flexibility.
In the five weeks since the coalition launched, drivers have spoken out in favor of the Protect App-Based Drivers & Services Act, an initiative aiming for the November 2020 ballot that protects the rights of app-based, on-demand rideshare and delivery drivers to work as independent contractors.
The surge of drivers supporting the ballot measure isn't surprising given that drivers prioritize flexibility and the ability to determine where, when and how long they work. In fact, a November Rideshare Guy survey found an overwhelming majority of drivers want to remain independent contractors (66 percent) instead of employees (15.8 percent).
In addition to the right to remain independent contractors, the ballot measure would provide drivers with:
Historic new benefits and protections, including a minimum earnings guarantee equal to 120 percent of the minimum wage plus $.30 per-mile toward expenses. Using this formula the minimum pay guarantee works out to approximately $21 per engaged hour in gross pay. This is the minimum drivers would earn and they will still have the potential to always earn more with no limit on how much they can earn.
A health care stipend that covers 82 percent of the cost of a Covered California Plan, or $367 per month to a driver on average. Drivers start earning this stipend at 15 hours per week and reach the full stipend at 25 hours per week. Drivers can earn multiple stipends from multiple companies.
Auto and liability insurance and occupational accident coverage to cover on-the-job injuries – similar to workers compensation insurance.
Signature gathering to qualify the measure for the November ballot will begin in January.

U.S. Income Tax Treaties — The Limitation on Benefits Article (Portfolio 6855)
Part of Bloomberg Tax and Accounting
This portfolio, U.S. Income Tax Treaties – The Limitation on Benefits Article, discusses in detail the limitation on benefits (LOB) article of U.S. income tax treaties.
The United States is a party to numerous income tax treaties with foreign countries. In order to enjoy the benefits of a U.S. income tax treaty, a person must satisfy a number of requirements, including residence in one of the treaty countries. Residence alone, however, is not sufficient. The United States is very concerned about "treaty shopping," and thus most U.S. income tax treaties, including all modern U.S. income tax treaties, include a "LOB" article. The purpose of the LOB article is to determine whether a resident of a treaty country has a sufficient business or other nontax connection with that country to justify entitlement to treaty benefits.
This Portfolio may be cited as Miller, 6855 T.M., U.S. Income Tax Treaties — The Limitation on Benefits Article.

Web apps work by sending code from a central server to be run by your browser. Backend web development is writing the code that runs on the server, and frontend web development is writing the code that gets sent over the internet to be run by the client, the web browser.
Learning frontend development is a combination of learning the infrastructure that makes the internet work and learning how to write software on top of that infrastructure.
When the world wide web first started, web pages were just plain text. Take a look: this is the first website ever, written in 1991. Websites are written in HTML, a markup language that lets you annotate (mark up) text to denote extra formatting like headings and links.
A webpage back then was just a newspaper-like document. As it evolved, the web gained new functionality, such as the ability to embed images and style the documents using CSS. With CSS, now you could change your background colors and fonts to give it a custom design, but webpages still couldn't do anything.
Making websites requires learning to lay out pages in HTML & CSS and learning enough web design to make them pretty and usable. Beyond that, you must learn a host of secondary skills such as how to make your site accessible to disabled people, how to show up in search engine results, and how to put your site on the internet and optimize it to load quickly. You'll also need to learn how the internet itself works, such as how HTTP requests work and how to set up browser caching.
Frontend Web Development is one of the most popular types of software development. It isn't for everyone, and it is such a broad topic that it is hard to be an expert in everything. The sheer complexity of modern tooling puts a bad taste in many people's mouths.
Still, given the popularity of web apps, even if you don't opt to become an expert frontend developer and get a job working with the popular frontend web framework de jour, knowing the fundamentals is unavoidable. Plus, it's fun!
My favorite resource for taking a broad look at frontend web development is the Front-End Developer Handbook.
To start learning, check out Free Code Camp and the Developer Atlas Curriculum.

Korean-NYC street chicken mashup rules roost at college
Now at SUNY Binghamton and New Paltz, Chick-N-Bap is a concept created by an alum, an immigrant who got to know American culture through the melting pot of New York City's late-night chicken-over-rice scene.
Tara Fitzpatrick | May 31, 2019
Sung Kim was a senior in a business class when he grabbed the chance to pitch the idea of a street food station to Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger, who was a guest speaker in his class that day. For months leading up to that, Kim (left) had been recreating New York City's beloved chicken over rice for friends out of his apartment and riding a bus to deliver to students on campus, and the volume was quickly getting out of control.
Kim's inspiration came from wanting to share the experience of chowing down on chicken over rice that was so familiar to him from nights out in Queens, N.Y., with friends. Attending Binghamton, he was missing his late-night fix, which was also a cultural connection.
Born in Korea, Kim first arrived in the states at age 10 in San Diego, but shortly after moved to New York City, where he did most of his growing up. As the only Korean kid for much of his early schooling, he says he always felt a bit like an outsider. The rich food culture of New York helped him realize that it takes a lot of flavors to make the world.
"When I was in high school, my mom would make us a Korean breakfast with rice, soup, kimchi and a dish of meat in the middle that everyone shared…no one I knew ate like that for breakfast," Kim says. "I would brush my teeth three times before going to school!"
The mornings were about Korean comfort food, but out in the street, Kim found something new, and just as comforting, but in a different way: the halal chicken and rice trucks that roam the city streets in search of hungry late-night workers and revelers.
"That's what makes it so personal for me," Kim says. "As soon as I stepped outside, I'd eat pizza and the chicken and rice bowls…so yummy, so filling…that was like my outside home. I felt I was living a double life, eating Korean food, then chicken and rice bowls."
But it was that duality that eventually translated into Chick-N-Bap, a concept that begins with a base of chicken and rice, but changes the face of it with Korean flavors.
On that fateful day Kim approached the university president, he was soon on his way to a trial-basis weekend pop-up in collaboration with Sodexo. The numbers quickly impressed everyone involved.
"When I talked to Sodexo, they didn't realize just how popular this was going to be," Kim recalls. "I asked them, 'What number [of sales] would impress you?'"
When the answer was 150 sales over a weekend, Kim guaranteed 300. On the first weekend, Chick-N-Bap made 550 sales. The pop-up grew to several more days each week, leading to 1,300 sales and eventually 2,000 sales over a three-day period.
Now, Chick-N-Bap has a permanent home at Binghamton's MarketPlace, and also at on the SUNY New Paltz campus. The atmosphere of the concept sets it apart from others by sight, sound, smell and taste.
The platter, Korean hummus and the Bapprrito.
In a way, Kim wanted to recreate the sensory experience of a New York night.
"You hear hip hop playing, you hear the metal banging on surfaces…it just reminds me of the city," he says.
That metal is a cool kitchen tool—big paint chippers that move succulent chipped meat around a hot grill as customers choose their rice (yellow, white or brown) and choose from toppings, optional bread and several super-distinctive sauces: white sauce, traditional Kansas City barbecue sauce, Bap sauce (Korean spicy mayo) and several other sweet, hot and tangy housemade choices.
Incorporating Korean flavors happens everywhere on the menu, from adding sesame oil to the rice to the marinade of the chicken and the gochujang that sparks flavor and heat. Burritos and some new corn side dishes change things up enough to keep the selections interesting.
The atmosphere of Chick-N-Bap has made the concept more attractive to not only customers, but also to student employees, and that's intentional, Kim says.
"We have the clothes and hats, we're blasting old school hip hop—a lot of Biggie—and that's how we got job applications. Students said, 'This looks like a really chill place to work in,'" Kim says.
And while the hip hop may be old school, the technology isn't. Wanting to get away from "punching in" to work, Kim developed a mobile system that's synched up to payroll.
Another defining factor of Chick-N-Bap is the health aspect. While traditional white sauce that you'd find on chicken from a food truck is fairly high in fat and calories, Kim's recipe makes these meals a choice that fits students' healthy eating days rather than being a late-night mistake. Kim found in his research that white sauce at Halal Guys is 165 calories per ounce and 18 grams of fat "vs. ours is 35 calories and 2 grams of fat per ounce," he says.
"I'm a gym junky and I hate it when concepts go, 'We're healthy,' but they're really not," Kim says. "Now a big portion of our clientele is gym-goers, because putting our white sauce on their chicken fits their macro."
Kim says he's in talks about expanding into other colleges and is weighing the options of eventually franchising Chick-N-Bap.

Retired lecturer to stand for Green Party in North Shropshire
By Aimee Jones | North Shropshire | General Election 2019 | Published: Nov 12, 2019
Retired university lecturer John Adams will stand for the Green Party as the general election candidate for North Shropshire.
John Adams will represent the Green party in North Shropshire at the general election
Mr Adams, who taught at Harper Adams University, was chosen by members of the local party.
He launched his campaign on Monday by planting a tree in Oswestry as part of the town council's goal to plant 17,000 trees by 2022.
"While the Labour and Conservative parties have gridlocked the country in Brexit turmoil, climate change has been accelerating and threatens far more than our relationship with Europe," Mr Adams said.
"Fortunately the people of North Shropshire have elected five Green town councillors in Oswestry and, in contrast to Government inaction, they have declared a climate emergency, cut the carbon footprint of the town council, investigated a community energy scheme and launched an ambitious scheme to plant a tree for every resident of Oswestry.
"On the other hand, Owen Paterson the Conservative candidate has argued for the repeal of the Climate Change Act and has spoken of the "advantages" of a warming environment."
He said a vote for the Green party will allow the UK to remain a "confident and leading" member of a reformed European Union.
Until recently Mr Adams lived near Market Drayton and was a lecturer at Harper Adams University, having previously moved to Shropshire to study at the then University College in 1987.
He has studied and worked in the Agriculture sector since 1984 and has pursued a keen interest in sustainable development during that time.
Over the last decade he has followed the science and politics of climate change closely in a personal capacity.
A number of town councillors and deputy mayor Duncan Kerr joined Mr Adams for the launch of his campaign.
Councillor Kerr said: "John's experience and knowledge of the agricultural sector makes him an outstanding candidate for North Shropshire and we are looking forward to explaining how Green party policies can create a sustainable and vibrant agricultural economy in North Shropshire.
"The Green party has an enviable record of achievement in North Shropshire and as a party we are now second to the Conservatives in the number of elected town councillors in the constituency. Our message is clear if you, like us, are serious about climate crisis then show that by voting Green on December 12."

Q: How to call helper method from model? I use MongoDB as a database in my Rails application with MongoID gem. I want to call the helper method from the model within after_create callback method. How is it possible?My model code is:
class Department
  include ApplicationHelper
  after_create :create_news
  private
  def create_news
    @user = ApplicationHelper.get_current_users
  end
end

And my helper code is:
module ApplicationHelper
  def get_current_users
    current_user
  end
end

When I create new department then following error occur.
undefined method `get_current_users' for ApplicationHelper:Module

How to remove error? Thanks in advance.

A: If you want a helper method that you can use in your views to return the current user, you can do so in your ApplicationController, something like this for example:
private
def current_user
  @current_user ||= User.find(session[:user_id]) if session[:user_id]
end
helper_method :current_user

Then you can use this in any view.
If you want some arbitrary method in a model to know what user it's dealing with, pass @current_user in as an argument to the method when you call it in your controller.
Your code seems incomplete so I can't really see what you're trying to accomplish, but this is pretty standard practice.

A: I also use mongoid and use this all the time. Shouldn't be unique to mongoid though.
ApplicationController.helpers.my_helper_method

A: Make sure the module file is named properly, meaning in your case application_helper.rb and it's located on the helpers library.
You can also try to include the helper in the ApplicationController (app/controller/application_controller.rb).

Jeanine Pirro off air at Fox News one week after making controversial comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar
Did Fox News fire network host Jeanine Pirro?
That's the question many of Pirro's fans were likely left asking themselves after tuning into Fox News at 9 p.m. Saturday evening — the typical time Pirro hosts her weekly show — only to find that Fox News was airing a re-run of the documentary "Scandalous."
What's going on with Pirro?
According to CNN, all indications suggest that Fox News has suspended Pirro. However, if Fox News suspended Pirro, they are not publicly admitting as much, telling CNN, "we are not commenting on internal scheduling matters."
Pirro has not tweeted since last weekend, nor did she announce a vacation.
Pirro's absence comes one week after she controversially questioned the patriotism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). While mocking Omar for wearing a hijab, the traditional Islamic head-covering, Pirro suggested that Omar's Muslim faith is responsible for her anti-Semitic sentiments.
"Think about it: Omar wears a hijab," Pirro said on her show. "Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?"
In response, Fox News publicly condemned Pirro.
"We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro's comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar. They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly," the network said.
Has Fox fired Pirro?
While the circumstances suggest she has been suspended, there is no indication that she has been fired. After all, Pirro is one of the highest-rated weekend cable news hosts on TV.
It is unclear when Pirro will return to air.
Author THE FEARLESS REPORT PODCASTPosted on March 17, 2019 March 17, 2019 Tags CNN, Conservatives, Democrats, Fox fired Pirro, Fox News, Jeanine Pirro, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Republicans, Sharia Law

Speak less than favorably against Muslims, especially Black ones, and you put your livelihood and life at risk.
And that's our world now… because people refused and continue to refuse to do the right thing to protect our people from these things.

A search team member descends as a body floats in the sea off the coast of Kalimantan, Indonesia (The Missing AirAsia plane found)
A search team member descends as a body floats in the sea off the coast of Kalimantan, Indonesia, in this still image from video December 30, 2014. Indonesian rescuers saw bodies and luggage off the coast of Borneo island on Tuesday and officials said they were "95 percent sure" debris spotted in the sea was from a missing AirAsia plane with 162 people on board. Indonesia AirAsia's Flight QZ8501, an Airbus A320-200, lost contact with air traffic control early on Sunday during bad weather on a flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore. Pictures of floating bodies were broadcast on television and relatives of the missing gathered at the crisis centre in Surabaya were shown weeping, their heads in their hands. Media quoted an air force official earlier as saying one suspected body, luggage and a life vest were among the debris in the Java Sea. REUTERS


Haiku tends to be unassuming and understated. Using simple language to show rather than tell, suggest rather than state, it often reveals its layers of meaning only by degrees. This year's Henderson Award winner is an excellent case in point. Though it did not make either of our initial shortlists, something about it kept drawing me back, and over the weeks it opened up in stages like a time-release capsule.
The poem gives us concrete, associative images but leaves the setting to our imagination. It could be the highlight of a Thanksgiving dinner with extended family, or conversely, the entirety of a solitary celebration apart from family, one small way of connecting with the spirit of the holiday. But might the poem be intimating more?
Mince pie, like Thanksgiving, is part of a long tradition. Also known as mincemeat pie, it is commonly meatless now, both in Britain and here in the States. I was curious to try it and, since it's only available during the holidays, resorted to baking a pie. I found it delicious. The variety of fruits and other ingredients suggested harvest and bounty. I even enjoyed the bitter tang of the orange rinds.
Though brief in the larger scheme of things, it's obvious this partaking of mince pie is deliberately unhurried for its fullest appreciation, each rich mouthful chewed thoroughly to taste every flavor (the word mince suggesting this as well). This is an extended moment of savoring, and thanksgiving.


Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD), soon after his swearing in as the nation's premier, made state visits to Middle Eastern and African countries. If Ethiopia had not been dependent on Western aid, skills and loans for such a long time, this would not have been too out of place.
But the increasing dependence on Middle Eastern allies and a resurgence – of a kind – on pan-African relations speaks to the changing global dynamics of power and priorities on the part of Western powers. It was notable, for instance, that when Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte came, he signed agreements for 30 million Euros, of which two-thirds were in the form of loans.
The UAE's crown prince, Abu Dhabi Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, for his part came bearing gifts to the tune of one billion dollars to be deposited at the National Bank of Ethiopia and another two billion dollars for investments. Italy and the UAE, or the United States and China, have varying geopolitical interests in the Horn of Africa, but it is hard to gloss over who has come to mean more for developing nations.
Nonetheless, Europeans still have interests, and Ethiopia still needs cash. This was no less evident during the Prime Minister's first state visit to Europe, which yielded fruits. Abiy, while holding a press conference with President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, mentioned the agreements reached with France, none of which should be seen lightly regarding their importance to the nation.
The agreement was to support the restoration of the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, improve capacity building of the military, 100 million Euros for infrastructure in airports and even a possible direct budgetary support to the annual federal budget from the French government.
All of these are necessary supports the Ethiopian government requires. The economy has not had a great couple of years lately. Domestic revenue mobilisation has not increased to the level that it should, mostly because the nation has been starved of a vibrant private sector from which revenue can be mobilised.
The most disappointing though has been export performance, despite the massive investments by the government to attract foreign direct investment and improve infrastructure. Ongoing unrest has not helped either.
Thus, support from France, the UAE and Italy are indeed coming at a time when the nation most needs it. There are of course bound to be consequences. Few nations give away this much taxpayer money or revenue from oil resources out of the goodness of their hearts.
And every leader and government in modern Ethiopia has been well aware of what the consequences could be. It cannot be said that outside factors solely influence the direction of African politics. But it does not take much deeper reading to have an idea of how the Cold War, rivalry between the United States and China and Middle Eastern powers interest in the Horn has affected African nation's economy and policies.
Unfortunately, nations in dire need of resources cannot be choosers. This is a sad reality Africans, especially in the sub-Saharan region, have had to make peace with for the time being. Optimism is great but to assume that Ethiopia – or any other country in the Horn for that matter – could at this moment significantly mould Horn geopolitics without being substantially affected politically and economically in return is a little farfetched.
We are too poor and internally fragmented to be of any significance on the world stage. If poverty and political instability do persist for long, we may not even have a say over what happens in our own country.
It does not have to be like that for long though. Aid, loans and skills have been pouring into sub-Saharan Africa for the last half century but with nothing to show for it. This is because resources are either misused or funneled away to enrich the few, while the other few that acquired skills are immigrating for better economic opportunities or in fear of prosecution.
We continue to need Middle Eastern, European, North American or Chinese support, because we have been unable to put to good use domestic resources while also wasting a great deal of the aid, loans and skill transfers we have received. This will continue in a vicious cycle unless it is broken.
The missing key has been political and economic institutions inclusive enough to encourage innovation, efficiently allocate resources and reward merit. Indeed, let us take the money now, but let us take care that we can use it appropriately enough that we do not need more support later.

St. Rose of Lima Catholic Cemetery, Hillsboro.
Wildeman-Boulger Funeral Home, Hillsboro.
Walter passed away on Thursday, May 24, 2012 at the Hillsboro Medical Center surrounded by his family.
Walter was born on November 8, 1930, in Fargo, North Dakota, and was the youngest of three children to William and Mary (Kritzberger) Kozojed. He grew up on the Kozojed family farm near Hillsboro. Walt attended school in Hillsboro and began farming the family farm at an early age. He proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Korean War from 1951 until his discharge in 1953. He returned to North Dakota and continued farming. Walter was united in marriage to LaVonne Vettel on November 12, 1953. They made their home west of Hillsboro where they farmed for many years. Walt and LaVonne moved into Hillsboro in 2007.
Walter was a lifelong member of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Hillsboro. He was very active serving as Principal of CCD, a Knight of Columbus member for over 60 years – serving as Grand Knight. Walt also was very active on the Bloomfield Township Board, served as President of the Traill County Township Officers, was a 4-H leader, and loved his time on the Election Board.
Walt was a family man – he cherished all of his family and loved making many wooden stools and shelves for the grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was a farmer at heart – raising dairy cows, driving tractor, tending to his fields, and loved growing acres of sweet corn to share. He also took every chance he could to go to the lake with his family to fish. In later years, Walt greatly enjoyed his visits with his coffee buddies, visits from family and friends, and his time spent on the John Deere lawn mower.
Walt is survived by his wife, LaVonne of Hillsboro; his children, Karen Lilleboe of Billings, MT; Michael (Margaret) Kozojed of Mayville, ND; Connie Bertsch of Mayville, ND; Patrice (Mitch) Elliott of Billings, MT; and Paul (Melissa) Kozojed of Hillsboro, ND; 17 grandchildren; and 18 great grandchildren. Walt is also survived by his very special sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and many other very dear relatives.Walt was preceded in death by his parents; his daughter, Deb Kozojed; and his siblings, Maxine (Leonard) Muller and Lois (Earl) Henn.

Few weeks ago I wrote an article on how to setup Xampp package on Ubuntu. Today, I am revisiting this. I came across a great article straight from the Ubuntu community, it is very simple, very strraight forward to setup Apache / MySQL and PHP on your Ubuntu box (server or desktop) Read the article here.


The emblematic and mythical place of the jet-set, La Meridiana, has reopened its doors by the well-known businesswoman Olivia Valere and her son Arnó Valere, who received half a thousand guests at a grand opening party of their new and renovated facilities.
There are many memories kept at a place like this, which received the most famous celebrities in the world when they visited Marbella. Not so long ago, the First Lady of the United States, Michel Obama, also dined here. Now the emblematic place is completely renewed, under the image of the famous businesswoman, who plays every move brilliantly, Olivia Valere.
Among the novelties of the new era of La Meridiana, there will be the Mediterranean cuisine restaurant under the supervision of Goizeko executive heads with terrace, garden, and the ethnic Peruvian restaurant APOTEOZ. The restaurant will feature live performances by a band with 7 musicians who will entertain the guests all the time.
At the party, which was attended by many well-known faces of the social and business life of Marbella, was also the Brazilian Rodrigo Álvez, known as the Human Ken, who praised the excellent work of the businesswoman Olivia and did not stop taking pictures with all the assistants.


As a newbie I have done several hours of reading on this site and others about HHO systems. There are many web sites and opinions about how to build and use the systems. Could someone post what the characteristics are of a good system, both off the shelf and build your own. I think this would be most helpful as a technical review not a vendor reivew.
Maybe this already exist if so does someone have a link.
I have 4 neutral plates beween the (-) and the (+) that gives me 5 cells. If my voltage is 12 Volts then 12V/5cells = 2.4 Volts/ Cell. We need about 2 Volts/Cell to make it produce. 2.4 is a little hot and I must restrict my KOH concentration to 10%.
Remember I am a newbie to HHO technology.
Anyway, welcome to the emerging technology of OxyHydrogen - Please be safe it is an explosive gas.
This is really a new post for me, I know something about the system characteristic that avoid direct switching. If we switched off the system directly there is some system file that will be corrupt.


Last night, I had the pleasure of going to see Village Idiom Productions' collaboration with Theatre Unleashed's production of [title of show], and my friend Corey Lynn Howe's directorial debut. First things first: as close, personal friends with the Director, I'm so very happy for Corey in the sheer gritted-teeth willpower and determination to make something so amazing come to life, and to do it so well. If you know her, you know it's amazing to see her achieve something she so clearly loves and even more clearly excels at.
But seriously, folks, about the show. [title of show] surprised the heck out of me with its (fast!) dialog and constant elbow-nudging hilarity. And I could go on all day about the "musical written by 2 guys about 2 guys writing a musical about writing a musical" deal. But [title of show] is really about the absolutely terrifying notion of going after those pipe dreams we all had when we were kids and ignoring the sometimes (well, oftentimes) self-defeating fears of failure or bankruptcy or the "vampires" inside our own minds that keep us from attempting to reach for the skies. We can all relate – we all have something inside us we'd love to go after but have fought with ourselves about whether we have what it takes – if we're good enough or talented enough or smart enough or creative enough (and the list goes on and on, doesn't it?). This show is for all the people who think they don't have what it takes to be who they want to be.
The cast were all fabulous. Just 5 people on a stage with the barest of set dressings, there's absolutely nothing flashy for these talented actors to hide behind. But this was no problem for the troupe I saw last night. Each one shone both individually while lifting up and supporting their castmates. The score is just plain fun, full of lyrical and musical twists and turns, paying homage to just about every musical ever produced. If they're anything like the characters they played (and I think they might be), Christopher Maikish (playing Jeff), Travis Dixon (Hunter), Heather Lake (Heidi) and Julia Plostnieks (Susan) have quite a career ahead of themselves. And we can't leave out the Musical Director and ever-present on-stage pianist, Jim Blackett. This guy made singlehandedly delivering the score to an ambitious and original musical look easy, and provided a few great straight man lines that cracked me up.
[title of show] is playing the rest of June in the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Support the arts and local theater like Theater Unleashed and have a great time; this show does not disappoint!
