In about five years, Governors Ball as emerged as the New York music festival. It's become an annual event that enforces originality and evolving beyond your limitations, and despite being stuck behind the likes of Coachella and Primavera, it thrives as the unofficial intro into summer. Why? Because Gov Ball wouldn't have it any other way. If they did, they wouldn't have booked a 70-plus act lineup that features The Black Keys, Lana Del Rey, and My Morning Jacket, and they definitely wouldn't have presented the opportunity to see Sharon Van Etten and A-Trak throw down on a larger stage. So without further ado, here are some highlights to look out for if you're planning to vibe out at Randall's Island Park.
For all things Gov Ball NYC, stay tuned for our interviews + photos and visit the festival's website.
#FutureHive is real. It's realer than 56 Nights, it's realer than Beast Mode, and it's realer than the video for "Codeine Crazy" because Future is heavy into Future right now. Hell, Future is so into Future that the folks at Governors Ball game him an opening day set at 3:00pm in the afternoon. Don't sleep on it.
Just look at the schedule – Flying Lotus, SBTRKT, Ratatat, Future Islands, Rustie, Kiesza, MØ, Odesza, and Bishop Nehru are all set for the tent and given its proximity to the other three stages, it's a clear winner. Gotham is known to get mobbed pretty early so plan accordingly. It'd be a shame if you missed FlyLo's life-changing closer because you needed to re-up on vegan munchies and ZICO.
Like any other summer festival, Gov Ball has it's share of headliners and faves (see DIIV, White Lung), but there's also a lot of promising unknowns. Tip: Charlotte OC, Chronixx, The Districts, DMA's, and Holychild are all musts if you need a new fix while you wait for Currents and Summertime '06.
The likes of Cafe Habana, Luke's Lobster, Momofuku Milk Bar, and Brooklyn Soda Works will be there, but there's also Morris Truck, Taqueria Diana, Ramen Burger, Mighty Quinn's, Pizza Nova, Coco & Co, and Wandering Bear Coffee Co. In other words, bring some hand wipes and a bib you filthy animal.
Need a break in between sets? Visit Sennheiser's Silent Disco. The audio experts are setting up a massive silent disco tent for the third year in a row (near the festival entrance) and they're also hosting listening stations that will feature their must-own headphone models: the Momentum 2.0 and the Urbanite XL.
It's been nearly three years since Harley Streten released his debut on Future Classic and while there's not a lot at stake, there's a lot to look forward to. He recently dropped a new single with Miike Snow's Andrew Wyatt and his live setups rarely miss a beat – flirting with Lorde, Disclosure, RL Grime, Arcade Fire, and What So Not. Did we mention Flume performs directly after Björk on Saturday?
Gov Ball NYC is hosting three drink-friendly activations this year, including the Tito's Airstream Lounge, the Miller Time Lounge, and the Bacardi Untameable Bar. They're not exactly "endless", but the retreats do offer cocktails, premiums, and a comfortable space to reset when the mosh gets a little too hands-y.
New York City is still the city that never sleeps and luckily, there's Gov Ball After Dark. This year's take is absolutely stacked as there's Conor Oberst at MHOW, Flying Lotus at Le Poisson, SBTRKT at Verboten, Little Dragon at Brooklyn Bowl, Atmosphere at Irving Plaza, and White Lung at Knitting Factory.
Drake's Coachella moment in April wasn't a total disaster, but there's no telling if he will actually make a statement in New York City. Will his Friday headliner be Jungled-out? Probably. Will it be a Summer Jam showing that spots multiple cameos and puts If You're Reading This on the electric, IDGAF level it deserves? Only time will tell at this point. All we know is "10 Bands" and "Star67" better be in there.
If all else fails you, make out with someone new and get "On A Wave".

1752: Helen Torrence and Jean Waldie	1916: Abraham Bevistein, child soldier
1875: Jesse Fouks, for murdering the Herndon family
March 19th, 2016 Headsman
Sunderland (U.K.) Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette, April 6, 1875.
A despatch from Brentville, Prince William County, Va., dated March 19, says: —
Jesse Fouks, the negro who murdered the Herndon family, consisting of Jeremiah Herndon, his wife, and a coloured boy named Addison Russell, near Cedar Run, in the lower part of this county, on the 4th of last December, was hanged this morning.
The circumstances of this murder were very horrible. Mr. Herndon, a well-to-do farmer, was about 70 years of age, his wife was a few years younger, and the coloured boy about 18 years old.
On the morning after the murder, Mr. Summerfield Herndon, a son of the venerable couple, who resided not far from their farm, went to pay a visit to his parents. Entering their yard, he saw bloody footprints, which led to the door of the dwelling. Passing into the house, a ghastly spectacle was presented to his view. Upon a pallet on the floor the coloured boy Russell lay cold in death, with his head split open. Upon the bed lay Mrs. Herndon, weltering in blood. A little later Mr. Herndon was found lying in a field about 400 yards from the house, barefooted and bareheaded, with his head and face cut and bleeding in many places.
On being asked who had done this deed, Mr. Herndon, who seemed bewildered, said he did not know who had done it; that he had been walking about all night, and felt cold when he went into the water.
He was taken to his house, and there told a clearer story to Justices Horton and Woodyard of a quarrel with Jesse Fouks, who had been hauling wood for him.
It was ascertained, on searching the house, that 235 dols. had been taken by the murderer. Fouks was arrested on suspicion at the house of a neighbour the day after the murder.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Herndon lingered some days, Mrs. Herndon dying on the Wednesday following, and Mr. Herndon on the succeeding Friday. Fouks was tried, found guilty, and duly sentenced to be hanged.
On the 31st of last January he made an attempt to escape from gaol. He burned a hole through the partition of his cell, and got out into the passage, where there was nothing to prevent his escape except an iron-grated door, which was unlocked, and the outer door.
On his appearance at the outer door, he was met by the gaoler's wife, who, with great presence of mind, seized him and called for help, but he managed to get free and got away.
He was captured on the following day in a straw rick, about six miles from Brentsville.
He acknowledged his guilt, and said that on the evening of the murder he took some meat, and that Mr. Herndon threatened to prosecute him; that he went into the house to try to induce the old man not to prosecute him; that he refused to retract, and that they then began quarrelling, and Mr. Herndon took up the axe and threatened to knock his brains out.
Fouks retreated to the door (the door being open), seized the axe handle, and to use his own words, "Old Satan was in me. I struck Mr. Herndon; took da axe from him, and den struck de old woman twice wid de axe. I did'nt strike her wid nuffin else, and den I struck Add (the coloured boy) twice wid de axe also."
About 1,000 persons were present at the execution. The prisoner exhibited the utmost self-composure, and warned his hearers to escape the effects of bad passion.
Last Tuesday Fouks gave his body to a physician of Fauquier County, saying that the doctors would get it anyhow.

The Lodge is a wooden and glass purpose built room at the back of my house. It is used for a variety of reasons from teaching hypnobirthing, antenatal education, relaxation and meditation and also for personal use, relaxing with family and socialising with friends. The 3/4 glass roof is perfect for letting the natural light in, making the space feel calm and welcoming. In the evenings there is subdued lighting and on cold days there are a variety of heaters to keep you warm and cosy.

Home › Trustee John Hirst raises over £11,500 for SUDEP Action with LEJOG cycle challenge
Trustee John Hirst raises over £11,500 for SUDEP Action with LEJOG cycle challenge
Although I am from the North East, I spent most of my career in business in the South East. I am married, with two remaining grown up children; Matthew who is married with two young children and lives in San Francisco, and Sophie who is a dancer/performer and lives in London.
My other son James died after an epileptic seizure when he was 21. Until that morning I had accepted that his epilepsy was inconvenient, but never thought it was seriously life threatening. James had his first seizure when on holiday in France at 15. He had night time seizures only, so he was able to drive and his life was largely normal. James had just graduated from Keele University with a good degree when he died. He was intending to spend a year out (snowboarding!). He was a great son, a party waiting to happen who loved music and dancing.
Following his death, mixed with the wave of sadness, I was massively angry that we didn't know this could happen, and frustrated that I could perhaps have done something about it. I searched to understand, ran marathons to raise money (and burn off some of the emotion), and worked with a number of epilepsy charities to try to help prevent such loss in the future.
I first got involved with SUDEP Action when I was still chair of 'the fund for epilepsy' and met Jane Hanna to talk about a possible merger. I was later invited by Jane to join the trustees. SUDEP Action found a special place with me because its mission matches exactly with mine.
Last summer, a close friend, Roger, with whose family we had all been skiing for years, had planned to do a Land's End to John o' Groats (LEJOG). He was going to do it with another of his friends who had been diagnosed with cancer, and couldn't make it - he died the day we set off bizarrely. I stepped in to keep Roger company and decided to raise money for SUDEP Action.
LEJOG was great. We had some mixed weather but on the whole it was a fantastic experience. We covered 987 miles in 15 and a half days, tackling ascents equal to 1.5 Everests! I lost a bit of weight, muscled up and improved my UK geography.
I also confess to a bit of smugness.
To be honest, it seems like more and more fun the further it recedes into history. There were some tough parts but it was mostly great fun. Highlights included finishing, crossing the big bridges over the Avon and Tweed and Forth that marked big stages, crossing into Scotland, and no surprise, getting to the top of the Grampians. Lowlights include getting completely drenched and battling into 20mph winds that were so strong I had to pedal to go downhill!!!! We did laugh a lot. It was hard work from time to time, I felt emotional, proud and relieved when we finally arrived at John O'Groats.
I should thank Roger for getting me into it, and his wife Ingrid who drove the support van. The family and friends we stayed with on some nights and the very, very generous people who helped raise the £11,500 much needed funds.


Remember that project on visualizing data structures and algorithms I mentioned from earlier today? Yeah, it's getting real.
After blazing through the core requirements for our sprint on AJAX, XSS guarding, and jQuery, my pair partner and I placed on hold the eventual refactor into Backbone that we'll commence tomorrow. We've both done the Backbone tutorials on CodeSchool, so it should progress quickly as well.
Finding ourselves with "free time" around 9:30pm, I rounded up my partner-in-crime for the data visualizations project for a kickoff meeting. In the process, I roped in my pair partner for the current sprint, because he was hanging around, seems vaguely interested, and is a really intelligent and capable coder. It was fun playing the role of networker and team recruiter.
Our first meeting last night went better than I could've hoped. We spent the entire hour discussing our personal goals and motivations for the project, which led into establishing a mission statement. We have a fairly clear understanding of the project's scope and intention, about which we can organize and rally. Such discussions often strike (less wise?) people as unnecessary and a waste of time, but I genuinely think these early conversations can make or break a project. Clear mission can prove invaluable to motivating a team. I'm so glad that others valued it equally, as evidenced by the sincerity with which they engaged in the conversation. We didn't settle for an "-ish" mission statement -- we wanted to know exactly our goals.
I'm feeling very excited about this project. It will not simply be a random collection of notes and thoughts. It will deliver high-quality learning tools for understanding fundamental building blocks of CS: data structures and algorithms. We are building something to show to potential employers with pride, and to share with the broader community to improve learning. In the process, we will develop mastery of the topics we feature.
I'm impressed it took so little time to settle upon an interesting pet project idea, one that has great potential. I'm so glad that I could recruit a couple others to my project, because I'm genuinely interested in it and am so happy that others are too. There's something gratifying about watching others get on board with your project idea, or at least with your leadership -- the last part is to acknowledge the idea's invariable morphing upon the inclusion of others. This happened once before -- at Stanford with Engineers for a Sustainable World. It's been a while since I was in a project leader role, and it feels good to be back. We'll see if that role remains necessary, but at the least I'm happy to provide the initial leadership.
Maybe one day it may become a monetizable idea, or it may not; either way, we are committing to creating high-grade professional code. Building a better quality product is good for us -- it feels good to take pride in what you build -- and good for our bottom line -- be it as a portfolio piece or a monetizable website.
I had to drag myself away from the building at 10:45pm, acknowledging the 60-minute commute that awaited me (night trips generally take longer). All I wanted to do was delve into the finer points of project architecture, our next steps in development, and setting up the scaffolding that will support our collaboration. My mind is alight with excitement. I hope I'll be able to sleep.
One week off from Hack Reactor for Christmas provided some welcome respite. Often to sleep early, late to wake up, I was investing in sleep the way a squirrel stockpiles nuts for the long winter. (Boy, do I have a long winter ahead.) My time was well-spent and naturally balanced: friends, family, self, work, I did a little bit of everything.
Eureka, the family dog, was something of champion of cuteness. Here she was, lounging on our family room couch in front of the fireplace. Under regular circumstances, dogs have always been prohibited from resting on furniture. She has a good life.
She now has a knack for opening presents. Give her a wrapped box and permission to open it, she will work her way into it, much like a kid.
Much of my Christmas break was spent in the family room, planted squarely next to the fireplace. I love fires, had a healthy appreciation built up from my days in Boy Scouts.
I remember one year when an ice storm hit Portland and knocked out the power for a couple days. We navigated rooms with candles. My brother and I were tasked with tending the fire through the night to keep the house a bit warmer. We traded shifts. It was wonderful.
Naturally, one of my favorite activities at home is to do my computer work next to a fire. I would set myself up in the morning, get it going, and then keep that spot as something of a home base for the day's remainder. Sometimes I would do actual work, sometimes I would lie on the couch and gaze at the fire, or at the Christmas tree. The hearth brought a pleasant warmth to the room, though it was hardly necessary thanks to the modern luxuries of HVAC.
Definitely ready to get back to Hack Reactor. The break was welcome and restorative, but now I'm itching to challenge myself yet again. Very soon we will cross into unfamiliar territory, so I'm eager to learn stuff that is absolutely essential and completely unknown (e.g. AJAX).
A fellow cohort member has taken interest in my project visualizing data structures and algorithms. (I wrote a blog post about my project.) He wants to collaborate. While I've enjoyed having this as a pet project, I suspect more will be learned and accomplished by having a hacker in crime. We'll be working mostly in parallel, so it will offer us a valuable opportunity to practice collaborating on the same coding project in a small, low-stakes environment. Project and process management -- my favorite.
The next four weeks will be a relentless onslaught of learning. I'm averaging 85 hrs / week at Hack Reactor -- which includes meals, because those are typically spent talking about code or reflecting upon our work. By the end of it, I'll be building full-blown apps as a full-stack developer.
I've done the problem before in CS106B, the C++ class. Even with familiarity, and partnered with someone with a CS degree, it took us a solid four hours to implement the solution. I believe we solved it faster than anyone else, but it was disappointing how long it took. Even with the answer more-or-less understood, we ran into classic errors in logic. We were quick about dissing them about, but... Dang, the brain is bad at programming.
While implementing the web workers to solve the n-queens problem, however, we ran into a roadblock. Web workers have exceedingly limited access to the rest of the program. We knew this, but we didn't foresee the logistical implications until we were about to implement the solution. Then we realized that we were stuck. After some unsuccessful rabbit-hole exploring to find a workaround, we assessed our options.
We could proceed to implementing a bit-wise solution (a super efficient and clever solution, but also challenging to understand), or we could refactor our entire code to work in the web workers. Both seemed like exercises that would add little value to our learning. So, we took a break, then shifted gears to work on more common yet challenging data structures.
The wind had already been sucked from our sails, however. It was hard to get motivated. We were so set on solving a problem. I'm proud of our ability to step back and assess the value of different paths, but unfortunately we couldn't fully commit to the new course of action. We both wanted the original problem solved, which we had been building up toward for the past day and a half. (No wonder people have a hard time shifted gears when design requirements change.) In the end, we made minimal progress and called it an early night.
Some people didn't like this scattered style, but I loved it. Also, he had quite a lot of jokes, and his slides were excellent visual aids. I especially like the premise of the presentation: trying to capture all the things that people assume you know, but never teach you.
And again, advantages of Hack Reactor shine through. The evening presentations have been some of the most valuable material I've encountered. From building a web app from scratch to see how the different frameworks interact, to delving into Unix/Linux, to the most recent presentation, I have consistently learned so much. In addition to material, I am constantly driven forward. Left to my own devices, I would certainly get stuck on the topic of algorithms. Instead, I move on to learn about D3, a handy data-visualization package.
I'm consistently impressed by what I see from the seniors. Only six weeks ahead of us, they show off impressive technical capabilities. They work naturally in groups and are, on the whole, very pleasant for interaction. I have absolute faith I will be there in six short weeks as well. It's quite exciting to consider.
When debating my decision, the issue of timing came up. While I could eventually reach the same skillet on my own, I'd probably not accomplish it as quickly. There are two reasons for this.
Reason 1: part of what makes me a successful self-learner and engineer is that I doggedly pursue topics I don't understand. I will hound it until I fully grasp almost every detail about the concept. It allows me to follow rabbit holes to their completion and generally return with a successful search. At Hack Reactor, we're given a mere two days to explore the space of a topic. During those two days we will need to fulfill particular requirements that demonstrate comprehension on different levels. At the end of the sprint, it's on to the next topic; you must leave the old on behind -- unfinished threads and all. I think of it as extreme time boxing. Maybe I'd be able to replicate it on my own, but it likely wouldn't last long.
Reason #2: I have better stamina here. I've consistently spent 14 hrs a day at the Hack Reactor space. Sort of like being at work, I find myself more self-motivated while there. It's easier to stay focused. There's a crew of ~30 others to hold each other accountable to doing our best. The network effect is powerful here, keeping us on point. While I've successfully pulled off 70 hr work weeks before, I was left far more exhausted by the end, and it was less solely focused on programming. With HR, I am compelled to not dither with other matters. And with a $17,000 price tag hanging over my head, I am making sure to make the experience worthwhile.
So far I've had great success. I ended up solo for this last sprint. Not by choice -- the topic wasn't particularly interesting -- but there it is. I completed some of the extra credit (image uploading). I would've completed more, but I focused a lot on the fundamental learning objectives (subclassing and inheritance), employing the concepts as much as possible to cement them in my mind.
Today we focus on algorithms. It's the one other sprint where we deliberately pair with someone of equal technical level. I'm working with someone who has a CS degree should be a good ride, perhaps even a challenge for me to keep up. I'm looking forward to it.
Also, I'm getting my new keyboard! At the recommendation of an HIR (Hacker-In-Residence), I purchased a special split keyboard. It's actually split into two separate components, so it can allow your elbows to rest at a natural alignment under your shoulder sockets. I tried one out before purchasing, I'm super excited about it.
That's what I'm in for.
After much long and hard deliberation, I have committed to staying at Hack Reactor. So many thanks go out the those who offered advice or a listening ear during the past week.
My conversations with many seniors whom came in with similar or greater experience than me sealed the deal. Each one of them loved the program and were gaining so much from it. Sure, there's confirmation bias in that I'm not talking with those that dropped, but at least those whom stuck around did not regret the decision.
So now I have another 11 weeks of fast-paced learning to look forward to. I'm averaging 13 hrs a day at the space (including meal breaks, but those are usually spent talking a out code as well).
Even today, I plan to code in the evening. It's just fun. Also, I spent south time deliberating and discussion my decision that I didn't have nearly as much coding time as everyone else. Sure I'm still ahead of the curve, but there's more advanced data structures in "nightmare mode" that I want to dig into.
I also published a new tech article on productivity tips in Sublime Text 2 -- the de facto text editor for programmers (and blog writers these days). Took a solid two hours to put together. It's partly intended for my cohort, some of whom are completely new to Sublime. Putting together the "greatest hits" of productivity tips will hopefully get them working faster in short order. Customization is a tough thing to accomplish -- because it's such a massive potential time sink, most edge away from the gaping hole and never try. My hope was to provide a digestible amount for newcomers.
Sunday has not been all work. I took the morning to have a breakfast of southern comfort food, I went for a walk while listening to a podcast, and I'm visiting a friend for lunch. It's been a quiet, peaceful day, with the sun shining to warm my spirits. Days like these make me think I have PV panels somewhere in my body, because I feel so happy when the sun hits me.
I suspect my fitness will take a hit during my time at HR. They give an extra hour to exercise every other day, but I've taken those times for coding or deliberating or catching up on other work. Also, an hour is not quite long enough to comfortably fit in an Insanity session.
Meanwhile, my eating habits are subpar. With only an hour for lunch and never any time to buy groceries, I am eating out for all meals. There's a motion among the cohort to organize to have catered meals from healthier restaurants around town. Would be relatively cost-effective and happier on our diets.
I wouldn't be surprised if I lose noticeable fitness through this time. On some level I'm okay with it. I'm attending this school to be out of balance, to live and breathe code, even at the expense of other things. It's only three months, so it's reasonable in my book. So far, the pace and dedication of time has been sustainable. I easily maintain focus throughout these super long days. Hopefully that'll continue.
Pushing the boulder over the hill.
The past two days have Been exhausting. Yesterday in particular saw me vacillate wildly on the decision to stay at Hack Reactor. There are heavy considerations to balance.
My second phone interview with the consultancy firm went really well. He's a straight-up kind of guy, laid back, yet I get the impression that he takes seriously the stuff that actually matters. Asking him about working remotely, he said, "As long as the client is happy, I don't care." Even from Europe. Wow. No pushback. I immediately began to dream about building webapps from around the world and teaching dance on weekends. The integration of engineering and dance would be complete.
The market for programmers is shockingly unbalanced in our favor. Estimates vary, but something on the order of 3 jobs are open to every 1 new engineer. That's partly why these bootcamps can work. Companies are hungry for new talent, the hiring prospects are fantastic. The CEO, in response to my question of why hire junior engineers, said that there simply weren't enough senior web developers out there looking for jobs.
Lectures continue to be review of material I learned over the past couple months. While part of me is bothered by this, another part appreciates the review as an opportunity to test the rapidity of my recall. Can I anticipate what the lecturer will speak about next? Can I answer all his questions posed to the group on the first try? Much like any review, I try to not let "yeah, I've heard of that before" be a sufficient answer. I want to know it effortlessly. That was one of my key reasons to attend HR: ensure I know the fundamentals. So far, so good.
A few conversations have occurred in rapid succession to push me toward staying.
First, a conversation with a fellow junior, similarly experienced in web development, and equally practiced teaching himself material. He was absolutely confident that he will learn more faster here. He didn't seem much concerned about the present skill level of the others. Not only was the conversation impactful, it was also enjoyable. He's a genuinely nice person. Good listener, attentive, thoughtful. We had a very good time. This has happened on several occasions, where I find myself engaging with others and being so impressed by the depth of their humanity.
Second, a chat with Anoakie. Simply put: attend Hack Reactor. You could make it on your own, but the hiring process in the industry is borked and every bit helps.
Third, an email from another CS friend. A small essay reflecting upon my present situation and sharing her perspective. Well-written, articulate, and so carefully tailored to address my concerns. The key takeaway was similar: attend because it gets you a foot in the door and will serve you well in the first couple years of job searching in tech. I'd say receiving this email was a tipping point. Convincing myself to stay had become my Sisyphean task: two steps forward, two steps back, always stuck in indecision. With this email, I crested the hill and watched in amazement as it gathered momentum.
Fourth, conversations with current seniors. One of whom has years of experience as a professional software developer. He was very happy with the experience. The skill disparity was apparent to him as well, but that normalized upon reaching modern web technologies. Another, a self-taught web developer with five years professional experience, also entirely happy with his decision to attend Hack Reactor.
Fifth, conversations with the class shepherds (former graduates with more experience whom are always on call for technical help). Key takeaway is that I could always go to them for more personalized feedback, something that I really wanted.
Sixth, a conversation over lunch with a fellow junior with a CS degree. He has the experience, the contacts. And he is positively thrilled to be in HR, so totally convinced of its value. His certainty was contagious.
Meanwhile, my fellow boat-mate continues to grapple with the decision. He's been equally up and down, generally leaning toward down. He left early today to spend some time reflecting. We've been quite supportive of each other, for which I've been grateful. I really have no idea which way he will go. I hope he sticks around; he's a great guy and I'd like to do a project with him.
By him leaving early, I had free rein to program on my own. Even as I become convinced of the value of this program, I still sometimes get the urge to do some solo hacking. Communicating constantly about what you're going to code next is both wonderful and frustrating, time saving and time consuming. With him off for the night, I delved deep into a particularly neat data structure called "red-black trees." It consumed my attention for the next four hours. It was delightful and challenging. I left around 11:30pm. I'll get maybe six hours of sleep tonight and then be right back at it in the morning.
My days tends to follow an amusingly simple schedule: wake up, daily hygiene, commute, Hack Reactor (13-15 hrs), commute, daily hygiene, sleep.
If today was any indication, I suspect I'm in this for the long haul and have such a schedule to look forward to for another 11 weeks.
More thinking, and a peer.
I intended to write about my discoveries in class each day while riding the BART. I've run into two problems.
1. The BART is surprisingly crowded, even at 7:10am. No seating room means no computer work.
2. I haven't learned anything truly novel yet. Wa wa wa.
The latter should be expected. Prior graduates with backgrounds in CS say the first week is mostly review. Looking at the schedule, I'll expect it to be more like 2-3 weeks. But there you go.
How funny, that my diligent self-study has landed me into this quandary, has somehow been "a disadvantage" for me. Not that it truly is, but blast it I don't enjoy making tough decisions.
Each day is a roller coaster, but not for the material leaving me dazed. Instead, gusts of sentiment sideline me every hour, every half-hour, sometimes every quarter-hour. One minute I'm totally convinced that I'm staying -- and the next, I have no idea why I'm paying to attend a school (and tutor?) when I could do the same learning in a real job.
1. New material. ~60% of material I'll be lacking proficiency in and would benefit from practice. This practice could easily be replicated on my own, indeed I was going to before all this happened. Further, I'd get the same learning on the job.
2. Sustainability / construction opportunities. This one is nebulous. Ideally I'd still like to work in the sustainable construction sector, to leverage my background. The current job is not that. Some opportunities may open up in 3-6 months, which I'd miss if I were in the new position. Through HR I'd have the skillet to work professionally without being beholden to my first company.
3. Earning potential. Again, unclear. Joining now would land me a lower salary. I've asked about whether that is renegotiable after 6 months. Even with that, I'd guess my salary would be lower than if I joined post HR.
4. Excitement and fun projects. A wash. HR I'd choose my projects, but at work I'd do real projects.
5. Hiring community. Advantage HR, hands down. Is it something I don't already have, with my dancer connections? Maybe. But can a wider network do anything but improve opportunities?
For this session, we are paired with someone of equal experience. I met a fellow whom actually did the same Stanford online courses that I did (except for Algorithms). It was amazingly fun to breeze through the material. We engaged in meaningful discussions of the pros and cons of different approaches. We coded quickly and felt on an equal footing.
It was… fun. Exhilarating. And sadly, this is the first time I've experienced this emotion. It was the first time I've been genuinely challenged in the program.
We're now having good conversations about our present shared dilemma: whether to quit and forge ahead on our own. It's nice to have someone else in the same boat. Camaraderie and all that.
Another long day. 13 hrs in the building. Technically 2 hrs of break/meal time, yet much of those times are spent coding or talking about code. I took half of my lunch to help a fellow on a particular concept. The student was absolutely thrilled for the one-on-one time.
We have an excellent rapport. I think it's exciting for both of us, the way we push each other to new levels of mastery. ("Ok, that works, now make your constructor new-agnostic.") It does feel a lot like play: how can we take the assignment and up the difficulty level?
Fortunately many great challenges await, such as red-black trees and bloom filters. I actually know about both of those, but my grasp is tenuous.
The program is surprisingly devoid of lectures. Aside from the first week, which is quite heavy to bring everyone more up-to-speed, there's only 2 hrs of lecture every two days (could be slightly off, but around there). I thought HR would provide the materials to master this material quickly, but instead they're teaching people how to teach themselves. I've been doing that for 1.5 years now, I think I've got the concept, that's why I was paying all that money to join and have things presented. Probably for the best ultimately: learn by doing and all. But it further makes apparent how HR will not give me a technical mastery that could not be achieved solo.
I keep returning to the community. The network I will be a part of. And the fact that my job search will doubtless be more productive with the coaching of HR than on my own. These do add real value. I will have more offers to choose from, which will in turn lead to better economic situation and career opportunity.
Plus, I might get lucky enough to angle for a sustainability-related job. Hack Reactor would add some credibility, and perhaps their network has some connections to offer.
I'm a little stuck on the nostalgia(?) of my "by my own bootstraps" story, it smacks of the American dream, the universal belief that diligence and effort will bring you success. That story is diminished somewhat by attending HR. I am then "another bootcamp grad," the product of an emerging market capitalizing upon the industry's desperate need for programmers. I am no longer self-defined and hard-won, I am tidily and easily following a path blazed for me, a carpet rolled out with neon lights illuminating the way. I am successful because I have the liquid capital to not earn money for three months and exist in San Francisco. That doesn't feel nearly as good.
I spoke with a senior whom entered with prior experience. I asked about the pace of learning among his peers. Do the students become fluent and quick-thinking? The beginning can be quite slow, as people struggle with everything from programming concepts to problem solving to keyboard shortcuts. Everything operates at ~60% efficiency. The senior said students do become versed rapidly, which leads me to believe that sprints later in the program (focused on my least familiar topics in backend) will have me mostly on par with any peer. I found this testament encouraging.
Fellow students are already beginning to peg me as an experienced programmer, a resource, and a mentor. It's only been three days.
Time dilation is happening like something fierce. I can hardly believe it's only been three days. So much has happened, it might as well have been a week. Life moves fast here.
The second day: thinking things over.
First day finished. Made it through, mostly without a scratch. The thrust of the days lectures centered around life and best practices at HackReactor. Given the intensity of the program, this front loading makes perfect sense.
My experiences in pair programming has me occupying different roles. In one, the student clearly felt overwhelmed and under qualified. I tried my best to be encouraging: there are many others in the same boat. I actually had fun playing the supportive role, it was my first experience mentoring someone in programming. The skills learned from dance are highly transferable, so I occupied the role comfortably.
I grow concerned this will be the norm at Hack Reactor. The first six weeks are organized into self-guided sprints where we dig into material on a particular topic. There is always extra credit and opportunity to go more advanced. I figured: if I *actually* know the material, I'll blaze through it and get to the extra credit. What no one ever told me through my extensive querying was that it's all done in pairs.
There's no way to know what the future might hold, but I now have a much more present fear about my room to move quickly. All my peers are truly amazing, inspired, and capable individuals, so I'm placing no value judgment on them. I'm simply acknowledging the fact of my more experience, and whether I will be able to challenge myself on a technical level.
Of course, I would still benefit from the program. Teaching someone material always gives you new insights and crystallizes understanding. But, did I sign up to do that 90% of the time? Not really: I still want to be moved forward technically in leaps and bounds.
These concerns are predicated on two unknowns: the speed at which my peers catch up, and the novelty of the material presented. I'm fairly confident I know much of what will be presented technically, at least for the first few weeks. I've heard similar sentiments expressed by other people that attended this program with a CS background.
My concerns are being thoughtfully considered by the team. I'm receiving support and insight and opinions from peers, people longer in the program (called "seniors"), and alumni. Much to contemplate.
1. Communication, collaboration, and related soft skills. Highly emphasized by Hack Reactor, any student graduating will be highly capable of speaking cogently and precisely about a topic. You practice communicating about code from day 1. While I don't have much experience explicitly with code, I'd say I'm a highly practiced communicator. The marginal benefit here is not tremendous.
2. Community. You're surrounded by high-performance individuals, all of whom are kind and passionate. It's an inspiring environment and you're building a community of programmers. As a more experienced member of my cohort, I will become known as a resource, teacher, and leader. This network will have lasting effects when they are all working jobs and recruiting others. A huge boon, but again the dance scene already offers a semblance of this. I know a staggering number of coders whom work self-employed, in startups, and at tech giants like Google. While they may not know my work in code, they know me which can be a foot in the door.
3. The hiring team at HR. Top-notch and dogged in their support of HackRs. A rapidly growing network of hiring companies, and a hiring day now often oversubscribed. Another huge benefit, but again -- is it not replicable on my own?
4. It's fun. For all the obvious reasons: community, learning, challenge, interesting projects. Another large benefit, but worth the tuition price?
Meanwhile, today I'm chatting with the CEO of a tech company, a connection made by someone reading my programmer's origin story. Further evidence that blogs are an excellent way to improve visibility. He offered to get me an interview. Hoo boy. That was fast.
Here we go! My first day of Hack Reactor. Feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Housing situation feels just right. Staying with two friends through dance, I've known them for a few years now. They're living in a family cooperative in Berkeley. The space is warm and inviting.
I arrived just in time for their communal dinner, a delicious potluck, and a chance to meet a bunch of the residents. It makes me quite happy to return to an environment like this one. The two are Good People and we always have a lovely time together. I look forward to the opportunity to do so more often. Plus I have a loft bed in a room with a door, which is super plush by house-surfing standards.
The rapid switching of gears was a challenge. I arrived yesterday evening after a weekend of teaching, then first class today. I was up late doing laundry, because I lacked a reasonably clean shirt for the class photos to be taken today. It's those silly little details that can break a person during such transitions, I think, and it's part of what makes the nomadic lifestyle stressful. Fortunately, I have experience dealing with these tribulations.
A 45-minute BART/walking commute awaits me on either end. I'm actually glad for this right now, as it'll given me some solo time. I plan to use it for reflection in journaling or composing posts for my blog. Time will tell if it remains a boon.
My technical blog has already attracted some professional interest. It's been passed along to a CEO who thought I'd be a perfect fit for their new position. When you open up to the world, it's wonderful what it can give back to you.

My reasons for attending Hack Reactor.
I'm happy to return to the States after a successful six-week tour of Europe, to be in a familiar space where I speak the native language. As far as spending time with friends or exploring the city, however, I may as well still be in another country. The country of ... Hack Reactor. With 70 hrs minimum time commitment per week, I am for all intents and purposes not actually in the Bay Area. My only free day, Sundays, will largely be devoted to catching up on HR work, sleep, side projects, and other important personal maintenance tasks.
I am equal parts excited and apprehensive, a mixture of emotions reminiscent of departing for summer camp. Hack Reactor will undoubtedly be an inspiring, challenging space where I will learn an insane amount of material. In some ways, though, I'm not the ideal student for this group.
I am not being disparaging of the general lack of experience among my cohort. Every single person has impressed me with their biography, and I sincerely look forward to our future work together. They all seem exceedingly capable to tackle the challenges ahead. If anything, I am expressing slight envy: given my prior experience, I think my HR experience will not be quite so chock-full of ground-breaking learnings, which makes the cost more difficult to justify.
I went through with attending Hack Reactor because there is still tremendous value to be gained from the school. It will provide an intense, structured learning environment. I will revisit the fundamentals from a more seasoned perspective, thus solidifying my grasp of the basic principles of web development. As I will probably finish assignments ahead of schedule (if the precourse work is any indication, this should hold true -- it took me ~30% of the estimated time), I can take time to tinker with projects that highlight that particular topic, or dig deeper under the guidance of the teaching staff.
More advanced concepts in web development, such as authentication or server-side work, will be new to me as well. While I could certainly hack through learning materials on my own (such are the joys of widely available educational material on programming), I will no doubt pick up the essentials faster through HR.
Then, of course, there are the ample benefits of the community. First, it'll be thrilling to work alongside equally passionate and driven individuals. Second, learning from the talented teaching staff, all of whom receive accolades for the quality of their pedogogy. Third, the hiring network provided explicitly through HR. Fourth, the informal hiring network provided by all fellow HR-alumni as they spread throughout the industry. The network effect of HR is a powerful and beneficial one, without question.
My time at HR will be productive, no question about it. Hopefully it'll be $17,000 worth of productive.

So this event is basically the shark-jumping moment for AbyssRium. This event is exploitative beyond anything AbyssRium fans have seen before. This seems to be the point where Cheetah Mobile has completely consumed the original dev team's intent and wants to milk us for every single penny by destroying the core game unless you pay.
I posted a comprehensive list outlining 19 problems with this event on reddit. I am not in the mood to repeat it here, but suffice it to say, the devs think you are both an idiot and gullible. Song of the Moon was disabled for candy gaining, wait times and an illegal (in Japan and China anyway) gachapon were introduced, they wanted to delete all of our stored candies at the end of the event too. And that's just half of it at most. It's all garbo.

So, the idea here is to collect some frequently used but maybe not widely understood words that are encountered in media coverage of foreign affairs, particularly with respect to the MENA region, and offer some simple definitions, useful links, etc. Also, I'm including little historical tidbits here and there, because I feel like it. I need your help on this, though, because I need you to suggest terms. Please comment below or send suggestions to attwiw at gmail dot com.
The Lebanese branch of al-Qaeda (founded by Saleh al-Qaraawi in 2009), which itself has branches in the Arabian Peninsula and Gaza. Attacks attributed to the group have taken place in Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, some predating the known formation of the group, but many of these claims are disputed. Named for Abdullah Azzam, a Palestinian leader in the Afghan jihad who later helped found al-Qaeda. Currently led by a Saudi fighter named Majid al-Majid.
Archipelago nation in the Persian Gulf with a population of just under 1.4 million people. Ruled by the Khalifa house, who are arguably the most repressive of the Gulf royal families in large part because they are a Sunni dynasty trying to suppress their country's ~70% Shiʿa majority, and Bahrain lacks the natural resources to enable them to buy peace and quiet like other Gulf ruling families are able to do. Headquarters for the U.S. Fifth Fleet. Not to be confused with the historical region of "Bahrayn" (see below), although they are the same Arabic word; general practice around here is to transliterate the word with an "i" when referring to the modern country and a "y" when referring to the historical region.
Turkish acronym for the Republican People's Party (Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi), currently the main opposition party in Turkey. CHP was founded as the "People's Party" in 1919 to resist the Allied plan for partitioning even the Anatolian heartland of the Ottoman Empire after World War I. After the formation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, the organization rebranded as a political party led by the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. For the most part, Turkey was a one-party state until the mid-1940s, when the Democratic Party was established as the country's first real opposition party, and it is the only political party that has survived from the founding of the republic and through all of Turkey's periods of military government (though it had to operate as the "Democratic Left Party" from 1984-1992 to appease the military). CHP espouses social-democracy (though it is increasingly a center-left party) and secularism, and is strongest among Turkish intellectuals, city-dwellers, and the college educated. It currently holds 134 seats in Turkey's 550-seat parliament and is at present not much more than a political afterthought.

The first-ever Amazon review of The White Stripes is loose
"Stuff it [...] with more cheap speed than a normal ninth-grader can handle and you will most definitely get you somma that WHITE STRIPES."
Greg Moskovitch
In a time known as the '90s, Jack White was not a very prominent and respected rock star with one hell of a recipe for guacamole (yeah, we're going to bring that up again), he was just a simple ex-furniture upholsterer with one hell of a recipe for guacamole.
He also had one hell of a band with his only bandmate Meg White. Back then, we still weren't sure if the two of them were brother and sister, or boyfriend and girlfriend, or cousins or what? It was a simpler time when there was still some mystery to rock and roll.
But in 1999, The White Stripes weren't 'the last great rock and roll' band we know today. 'Seven Nation Army' hadn't even been written yet and they were just a simple garage duo from Detroit on a small independent label no one had heard of yet.
As Consequence of Sound notes, incensed by the lack of attention coming their way, a fan and Amazon user named Adam Beales decided to pen the greatest review we've possibly ever read. It was like the spirit of Lester Bangs entered Beales body for 500 or so glorious words.
"What we got here is a boy, a girl, a guitar, a rudimentary drumkit, and a Led Zeppelin fixation like the Aswad High Dam," Beales writes. "You take all that, you stuff it through the rama-lama-fa-fa-fa with more cheap speed than a normal ninth-grader can handle and you will most definitely get you somma that WHITE STRIPES."
"If Robert Plant coulda singed like that, Led Zeppelin might have even sold a few rekkids," he writes elsewhere. "The side-two opener (vinyl, baby, it's gotta be) 'Broken Bricks' is likewise AOK, just a-buildin' and a hollerin' until it EXPLODES all over the place at the end like Ron Fugg'n Jeremy."

Facebook Bid Against Google In Attempt To Acquire Fitbit
Posted on November 26, 2019 November 26, 2019 5:40 pm
Facebook has been revealed as "Party A" in an attempt to acquire health tech company Fitbit, CNBC reported on Tuesday (Nov. 26) citing a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.
Facebook made several bids for Fitbit in October, including a final offer of $7.30 per share, sources told the news outlet.
The filing showed that Fitbit CEO James Park met with "the chief executive officer of Party A" — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg — on June 11 of this year, for a dinner to discuss the wearables market, sources told CNBC.
A second dinner with Zuckerberg took place on July 2 with Park and other Fitbit executives. Zuckerberg and Park met again in September, according to the filing.
Google announced on Nov. 1 that it wanted to make a deal with Fitbit for about $2.1 billion in cash, or $7.35 per share. Facebook said it has no intention of bidding again since Google has agreed to the purchase, according to the report.
Fitbit was valued at around $2.1 billion when the deal with Google parent company Alphabet was announced. The deal is expected to close in 2020. Google said it will work with Fitbit's experts to develop top artificial intelligence (AI), software and hardware to help stimulate advancement in wearables that could benefit people worldwide.
Google also said users' personal information will never be sold and that there will be transparency about what data is collected. Users will have the option to review their data and the freedom to delete it or move it elsewhere.
"Over the years, Google has made progress with partners in this space with Wear OS and Google Fit, but we see an opportunity to invest even more in Wear OS as well as to introduce Made by Google wearable devices into the market," Google Senior Vice President of Devices and Services Rick Osterloh said at the time.

A lot of Hollywood celebs have undergone cosmetic surgery treatments, such as facelifts and rhinoplasty. Aging brings wrinkles, which are difficult to ignore, because a celebrity's facial appearance matters a lot to their career. There is nothing wrong in going for a facelift if you can afford it, and as we all know these celebs can spend a huge sum of money on improving their facial look so as to remain appealing among the audiences. But, these facelifts badly ruined the facial appearance of some personalities, like Donatella Versace and Jocelyn Wildenstein, while Ellen DeGeneres has done it successfully. Here, is a list of "10 Most Talked About Hollywood Facelifts".
The New York socialite has got her cat-looking face through numerous facelift surgeries. Though, Jocelyn now regrets spending a huge amount of $4 million for this inhuman horrible appearance of hers. It is speculated that she has undergone a number of cheek implants and facelifts, due to which, she got her nickname as the "Bride of Wildenstein". After she had caught her husband cheating on her, she decided to enhance her facial appearance in order to look more beautiful and appealing, and tried several cosmetic procedures. But, the result was her feline-like appearance.
The blonde fashion designer has done it all wrong as she looked good before undergoing the plastic surgery procedures. She has possibly taken facelift along with the nose job and lip augmentation. Instead of complementing her looks, the facelift has ruined her facial appearance. Though, she has never admitted her dismay about the bad results, but it can be speculated that she is unhappy.
The 39 year old television actor best-known for her appearance in "The Practice" (1997 to 2003), Lara Flynn, has changed a lot due to her facelifts. It seems she has worked a lot on her cheek muscles just to improve her smile, but instead, it looks as if she finds it difficult to smile now. By looking at her before and after images, it can be guessed that Lara is really not satisfied by the change.
Well, Mickey really didn't know that the change will so affect his career that it will become difficult for the audiences even to recognize him. After he appeared in the movie "The Wrestler", the facelift he took transformed him into almost a different person such that his fans looked puzzled after seeing him. Definitely, the effect was not a positive one, and even became a hassle to his career. The facelift totally changed his facial appearance, thus making him look different.
It's really too tough to handle wrinkles, therefore, every woman hates aging. And, for celebrities, it is even more difficult as they have to look their best every time they appear on or off-screen. So, the pressure to stay young didn't spare even Joan, and she took facelifts and other cosmetic procedures. Once beautiful, she barely looks the same now and appears a completely different-looking person.

Q: How to use conditional statement in conjunction with group_concat? I have written the following query which uses group_concat :
SELECT p.hostname AS Hostname,
GROUP_CONCAT(t2.status SEPARATOR ' :: ') AS Status,
GROUP_CONCAT(t3.error SEPARATOR ' :: ') AS Title
FROM table p
...
...
WHERE p.hostname regexp 'abc'
GROUP BY p.hostname;

I am getting the following output:
Hostname    Status                  Title
abc.com     PASS :: PASS :: PASS    Title1 :: Title12 :: Title3

I want to add conditional statement such that if it is all PASS :: PASS :: PASS then it should show only one value under status as PASS
If it has one or more FAIL such as PASS :: PASS :: FAIL then it should show only one value under status as FAIL.
Also, it should only show title corresponding to the FAIL. For example, if it is PASS :: PASS :: FAIL then the output should be
Hostname    Status  Title
abc.com     FAIL    title3

In case of multiple FAIL such as PASS :: FAIL :: FAIL the overall status should be FAIL. The title should have value Title2 :: Title3
Hostname    Status      Title
abc.com     FAIL        Title12 :: Title3

If all values for status is PASS then the title should have value NA
Hostname    Status  Title
abc.com     PASS    NA

A: You can do it with CASE expressions for your conditions:
SELECT p.hostname AS Hostname,
  CASE COUNT(DISTINCT t2.status)
    WHEN 1 THEN MAX(t2.status)
    ELSE 'FAIL'
  END AS Status,
  CASE
    WHEN COUNT(DISTINCT t2.status) = 1 AND MAX(t2.status) = 'PASS' THEN 'NA'
    ELSE GROUP_CONCAT(CASE WHEN t2.status = 'FAIL' THEN t3.error END SEPARATOR ' :: ')
  END AS Title
FROM table p
............
WHERE p.hostname regexp 'abc'
GROUP BY p.hostname;

See a simplified demo.

The ward manager at Harplands Hospital, Stoke-on-Trent led on the development and implementation of an Acute Care Pathway (ACP) programme of work to foster new ways of working, standardise good practice and improve experiences for both staff and patients within the Trust. This programme of work has led to both improvements in outcomes and use of resources.
The Care Quality Commission (2017) reported that more people than ever are receiving treatment and care for mental health conditions; in part due to a reduction in the stigma associated with mental ill-health. Treatment can only truly succeed if it is supported by mental health service provision that gives people the help they need, when they need it, where they need it (Care Quality Commission 2017). Supporting this, the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health (NHS England 2017) highlights the need to move towards a future where people have access to high-quality care close to home, and they are able to exercise choice – reflecting true shared decision making and personalised care.
The ward manager identified unwarranted variation in the higher than expected incident rates, staff sickness rates, staff vacancies and enhanced observations of patients who were awaiting mental health support.
How the ward works in collaboration with partners across the acute wards and the community partners, identifying areas for improvement and change.
Increased supervision and support to staff, supporting a culture of reflective practice.
The programme was rolled out across the ward with support of the Trust's senior nursing team as well as across the MDT using a continuous cycle of change and evaluation.
Better outcomes – Patients' length of stay have been reduced, with their care being planned and supported more effectively. A reduction of more than 10% has been seen in average length of stay. Patients are now being effectively supported and encouraged to engage effectively with community care teams and other care providers reducing their perceived dependency on inpatient services, which promotes the delivery of care in the least restrictive environment. Patient related incidents within the inpatient setting have also reduced by 60% since the launch of the programme and this continues to be monitored for shared learning. The programme has also increased the ward's capacity due to the reduced length of stay, which has also led to fewer out of area admissions. As out of area placements are associated with negative impacts on recovery, this has been a very positive secondary finding.
69% felt their work was more patient-centred.
Practice feels more effective and appropriate for diagnosis. The care we now provide is more recovery focused. Lastly job satisfaction is much improved.
The acute care pathway has enhanced care delivery. Better communication and planning with staff. Makes it a great place to work.
The implementation of the ACP has seen the biggest change to the way we nurse patients who are acutely unwell since I started in Acute 15 years ago. The positive effect on patient care and staff morale has been tremendous.
I didn't like or understand it at first, but I get it now and I think its loads better.
My care was well co-ordinated and I was involved in all the decisions.
The staff were excellent, I like the new structure and still have freedom of choice.
Better use of resources – There is increased capacity within the ward setting, with fewer people being transferred out of area for an inpatient bed. This is saving £660+ per day per patient for the inpatient bed and associated costs. The pathway has also freed up ward staff capacity with fewer crises, incidents or enhanced observations, leaving staff more available to provide continuity of care and support.
It is possible to work differently, but you need partners in care on board before the change for it to be successful.
A challenge with developing new ways of working and quality improvements will always be competing demands from your existing workloads. It is important to consider what will be needed to sustain both and seek help to do this.
Communication with stakeholders is vital; people need to be clear how things will change and what this will mean for them. Time for this is essential.
It is important to consider your role in leading – people will buy into you, your brand, your pathway, your belief in the benefits – so be honest about potential difficulties and challenges in order to avoid disappointment.
Following the successful launch of the programme, the team continue to be passionate about the pathway. The next steps include working closely with community teams to help them engage in the pathway, reviewing progress to see if the process can be further streamlined, and where technology can better assist.

Mahlon Palmer Talks About His Book DESTINY
This book was written primarily for those young people, both boys and girls and their parents and/or mentors who, for whatever reason, believe they have no chance at a successful life. This book is the story about a young boy who believed he was in that category while growing up. That little boy changed those odds and ultimately did many things that most people cannot even dream of. Dick was expected to work twelve- to fourteen-hour days every day until he left home to join the air force when he was seventeen years old. By the grace of God, Dick somehow graduated from high school since he never once, in twelve years, ever had any time to do homework. Dick's very best childhood friend was his Dog King who is on the cover of this Book. Without King, Dick's childhood would have been very, very difficult, for they were always together. Life was about to change dramatically when Dick joined the air force when he was seventeen years old. The title of the book, "Destiny," is very appropriate since it was at that time when destiny played a major role in Dick's life. Dick should have never passed his induction physical due to an unknown severe bundle branch blockage in his heart, but he did; he should have never been accepted in the Air Force's air weather school, but he was, graduating forty-third out of a class total of 187. He remained in the air force for a total of four years. In his book, Dick discusses many more pivotal events where destiny played a major role. non-fiction/historical

Cooper Dunkin' and Dogs for Joy Program
For children in hospitals, sometimes the best medicine and moments of joy can come with four paws, a wet nose, and a wagging tail. Today, the Joy in Childhood Foundation, the independent charitable foundation powered by Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins, is launching its Dogs for Joy program to bring in-residence dogs to children's hospitals nationwide. Dogs in this program are bred and trained as service dogs but "work" full-time in children's hospitals. Through more than $2M in initial grants the program will dramatically increase the number of in-residence dog programs in pediatric healthcare settings around the country and the prevalence of animal-assisted therapy as part of treatment.

Kids with Cancer, Like Micah, Need More Options
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, their family is presented with treatment options – often a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Radiation and chemotherapy have been used to treat kids' cancers for more than 50 years and often come with long-term late effects including secondary cancers, heart damage and cognitive issues. Often a child's best chance at survival is a clinical trial which offers them the newest treatment options available. In recognition of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the St. Baldrick's Foundation will highlight the critical need to fund lifesaving research and share stories of kids affected by cancer – like Micah, who is alive today because there was a clinical trial available.

Childhood Solid Tumor Network Overview
In an effort to improve outcomes for patients with some of the deadliest childhood cancers, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have created the world's largest collection of pediatric solid tumor samples, drug-sensitivity data and related information and have made the resource available at no charge to the global scientific community. St. Jude and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute collaborated to create the resource, known as the Childhood Solid Tumor Network. The work is reported today as an advance online publication in the scientific journal Nature. "Survival rates for children with recurrent solid tumors have not improved significantly in more than 20 years and remain below 30 percent," said corresponding author Michael Dyer, Ph.D., chair of the St. Jude Department of Developmental Neurobiology and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. "This research will change that by promoting scientific collaboration to leverage the efforts of researchers worldwide to advance understanding and ultimately treatment of pediatric solid tumors."

Kids need these skills for lifelong success
Entry-level employees are becoming less proficient in the skills most needed to succeed in today's workplace, according to a recent national survey of human resources (HR) managers responsible for hiring. The survey, sponsored by leading early education provider Primrose Schools®, revealed skills like adaptability, teamwork and problem solving are critical to workplace success. Yet, 70 percent of seasoned HR managers report that entry-level employees are rarely proficient in these skills. According to the survey, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, self-control, adaptability and working memory – collectively referred to by educators as executive function skills – are more highly valued in entry-level candidates than technical abilities, academic background and other factors. And while respondents state that entry-level employees are rarely proficient in these skills, two-thirds say hiring entry-level employees with good executive function skills is a top priority for their company's long-term success.

St. Jude Survivorship Study ASCO 17
Changes in the treatment of pediatric cancer over recent decades have translated to a reduced risk of serious, long-term late health effects of cancer therapy. This is according to the latest analysis from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS), a National Cancer Institute-funded resource for late-effects research, led by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "This is the first comprehensive study to demonstrate how changes in treatments over time have impacted the occurrence of late effects experienced by childhood cancer survivors," said Todd Gibson, Ph.D., assistant member of the Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control at St. Jude. "We found the 15-year cumulative incidence of people reporting at least one severe health condition decreased from 12.7 percent among childhood cancer survivors diagnosed in the 1970s to 10.1 percent for those diagnosed in the 1980s to 8.8 percent in the 1990s–a statistically significant decline."

Dr. Donald Pinkel reflects
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is naming the institution's principal research tower after Donald Pinkel, M.D., whose legacy of driving progress toward advancing cures for pediatric catastrophic diseases continues at the institution today. When St. Jude was established 55 years ago, Pinkel, the hospital's first medical director, committed to finding cures for childhood cancer, leading to groundbreaking treatments that saved countless children's lives. Many of these cancers were deemed incurable prior to Pinkel's research, but his distinct approach to eradicating diseases established a model for how cancers could be treated.

Congratulations are in order for Justin Gabrielle and Jackie Goodchild, the proud parents of Virden area New Year's baby.
Arriving in the afternoon of Jan. 2, 2019, at 12:52 p.m., Blake Margaret Gabrielle weighed in at eight pounds, six ounces and measured 21, 1/4 inches.
She has hazel eyes and "the longest eyelashes". Not surprising, her parents affectionately call this little one "sweet face" and "sweet girl".
Virden's New Year's baby was delivered at the Women's Hospital at Winnipeg Health Science Centre. "The day of her birth was very cold, we had a scheduled C-section so the morning was very calm and relaxed," says Goodchild, who also admits to just a bit of nervousness.
Baby Blake has continued to be "a very calm and relaxed, perfect little girl," says her mum.
She is the family's second child and little sister to Cooper Gabrielle.
