"There's a great deal to be said for that old expression 'walk a mile in the other person's shoes', don't you think? I believe that people are born with a strong instinct for good. Of course, views of what 'good' looks like differ wildly. But I think it's usually possible to find compassion for even the most misguided of individuals: that's different from condoning harmful behavior. It's just recognizing that the business of being human is complex, and it's easy to get things wrong. Compassion and mercy allows society to heal itself when we do."
Tom Sherbourne takes a job as a lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, a remote and isolated island 100 miles off the coast of Australia after four years of fighting on the Western Front. Janus Rock is one square mile of green surrounded by greedy rocks that lie in wait to devour ships the weather has blown off course. The lighthouse stands proudly in the center of the island beaming a mantle of safety for ships for thirty miles.
April 27, 1926 is the fateful day when Tom and his young wife Isabel discover a boat that has gone aground with a dead man and a tiny screaming baby inside.
This heartbreaking novel illuminates the far-reaching effects of a decision made by two good people whose desperation causes them to make choices without fully considering the unintended consequences of their actions.
Can two people who love each other so much that they risk losing their moral compass, find their way back?

At the core of the ice hockey World Championship
Ice hockey might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of structural foam core. But in a modern hockey stick that must be extremely light, strong, and flexible, Divinycell foam core plays an important role. Like in the sticks from the renowned company Sherwood Hockey, one of the leading hockey brands using Diab core materials.
The first organized indoor ice hockey game was played at Montreal's Victoria Skating Rink in 1875. Since then, the game has continued to evolve with more speed, more skill, and individuality. Now, more than ever, players need the gear to match their personalities and playing styles. That's why hockey sticks today are innovative tools of speed and power.
Sherwood Hockey is one of the leading manufacturers of hockey gear and has been in the business since 1949. World class professional players such as Matthew Tkachuk, Connor Brown, Quinton Byfield, Artturi Lehkonen, Kaapor Kakko, and Alex Debrincat all use Sherwood Sticks. Like many leading brands, Sherwood uses Divinycell foam cores to make its sticks stronger, lighter, and smarter.
It is a challenge designing the perfect hockey stick because there are so many different factors to consider, like weight, strength, flexibility, endurance, impact, and consistency. And they are all important because the player can feel the difference already when a stick differs only a few grams. Therefore, lightweight and mass distribution are extremely important to the elite athlete. The player accelerates the puck with the stick's blade, so less mass in the lower section of the stick allows greater dexterity and less inertia. Consequently, the ability to produce a high-quality, lightweight structure is essential. Furthermore, the complex shape dictates that a machined foam core is required to achieve uniform wall thickness and compaction.
Additionally, the composite structure will see large deformations in the shaft and blade during shooting. As such, the shear strength of the core is critical.
"This is an area where the Diab's Divinycell foams are particularly advantageous," says Dan Rich, manager of the ice hockey product development with Sherwood Hockey.
At the same time, the speed of the game dictates that the player must be able to receive a high-speed pass while skating at full stride without losing control of the puck.
"This requires a structure that can quickly de-accelerate the puck. Thus, the dampening properties of the Divinycell foams are also very effective," says Rich.

After Buddhism
Stephen Batchelor
After Buddhism, the culmination of four decades of study and practice in the Tibetan, Zen and Theravada traditions, is Stephen Batchelor's attempt to set the record straight about who the Buddha was and what he was trying to teach. Combining critical readings of the earliest canonical texts with narrative accounts of five members of the Buddha's inner circle, Batchelor depicts the Buddha as a pragmatic ethicist rather than a dogmatic metaphysician. He envisions Buddhism as a constantly evolving culture of awakening, whose long survival is due to its capacity to reinvent itself and interact creatively with each society it encounters.
Stephen Batchelor is known worldwide for his work as an author, teacher and scholar of Buddhism. He has been a teacher at the Gaia House meditation centre in Devon, England, for twenty-five years and is a contributing editor of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review. His previous books include Buddhism without Beliefs read more

Q: Is there any way to edit my bash color theme partially? I created my custom bash color theme on some web site few months before.
However, I just want to edit some color in my bash theme now.
But it's hard to understand what they mean in screenshot below.

What i'm curious about is if there is some way to edit my bash color for
some part.
+This is my first time to post question here, so I'm afraid that I did a bad question. If i did, please tell me problems. Thank you so much.

Configuring LS_COLORS

A: In case you're not familiar with how terminal colors work, I'd highly suggest reading this article, or just searching the web for ANSI/VT100 color codes.
Having said that, let's look at a part of the code from your snippet. (Also, in future, please remember to actually copy and paste the code in a code block so that it becomes easier for us to edit/debug/copy-paste.
The term LS_COLORS suggests that it colorizes the output of the ls command based on a custom criterion. Further inspection reveals that it assigns a certain "style" to each file type noted.
So, for example, *.zip (i.e., all zip files) get styled to 01;31. Now refer to the article above. The attributes are seperated by a ; and they're in the order "styling;foreground_color;background_color". So, in your case, I'm guessing the background color isn't included. So, first part, 01 sets the text formatting to bold, and 31 sets the text color to red.
Just edit the colors in that statement as you'd like followed by saving the file, and you should see the changes after restarting the terminal.

Shale gas fueled a boom in the drilling industry and has provided cheaper fuel, displacing dirtier coal to generate electricity. It's also feeding a spinoff industry in chemicals. Shell is building a multi-billion-dollar petrochemical plant in western Pennsylvania that will turn natural gas into the building blocks of plastic.
Many hope that this is just the beginning. They want more ethane crackers, plastic manufacturers and other industries that will transform the Ohio Valley into a petrochemical corridor, bringing jobs and investment. Others, including residents and public health advocates, fear pollution, cancer and other health effects and say the climate impacts from these facilities will be devastating.
We've been covering this transformation to learn what it means for our region in terms of jobs, economic development and impacts to air, water quality and health. Stay tuned.
What lessons can we learn from Texas and Louisiana?


I long to live fearlessly, exposing my heart.
I pray to live truthfully, sharing my real thoughts.
I strive to live openly, learning always. Always learning.
I want to see you. See into you.
I don't ever take for granted the chance to know someone.
It's such an honor when someone lets you step into their soul ~ even just a little bit.
When I was taking this shot, I was focused on the intricate design of each wing.
And I was trying to capture the light as it reflected off of the wing's delicate surface.
Little did I know, the real magic in the photo would be the shadow of the wing.
The shadow that showed up underneath.
A shadowy depth that would have never been revealed if not for the wing's transparency.
Please link up here and share your black & white photos!
Neat photo and thought-provoking message!
You always have such wonderful words to share with us. And this photo is one of your best.
Eine sehr schöne Detailaufnahme !
What an amazing picture and such a deep and true thought, I so agree!
Excellent shot - I do declare, the dragonflies around here are hyped up on 'zoom' because they almost never slow down enough for a lovely portrait session.
Their wings are quite fascinating.
Lovely thoughts and I truly agree. I think it is lovely to know and be known by others. That does require a leap of faith in the transparency department.
So lovely, your photo is gorgeous!
How elegant! Lovely photography! for BW!
I love this. Makes me think how many times I am focused on the wrong thing and miss the beauty of life. Far too often.
Dontcha just love those little surprises and gifts that God throws our way without us even noticing at first?!? Fantastic shot!
Such a great photo and post. And, how many people will reveal anything...and mostly because they don't reveal it to themselves. So, if you get a glimpse, it is a treasure.
Beautiful capture and wonderful interpretation of your image. Although I was terrified of dragonflies as a child, now I see how beautiful they are. Exposing our hearts takes courage, but the rewards are great.
Wow! Gorgeous shot. I am also mesmerized by dragon fly wings. I wish more things in life were transparent!
Wonderful detail, especially on the wings.

COVID-19: The data behind Number 10's coronavirus briefings in 2020
It was the only thing that could pause a country binge-watching boxsets in 2020; a teatime appointment-to-view event that interrupted whatever we were doing and gripped a nation.
The Downing Street coronavirus updates gave us 121 episodes last year, launching on Monday 16 March and ending on Wednesday 30 December.
Analysing those briefings gives an insight into government communications during the pandemic: when they were and who appeared at them, as well as who was allowed to ask the questions.
There were just seven days of public briefings before prime minister Boris Johnson was forced to address the nation and place England under its first lockdown.
After that, the longest unbroken set of continuous updates was from Tuesday 24 March to Saturday 9 May - 47 days in total.
Then, another televised address took place instead of a briefing to announce an extension to the lockdown on 10 May.
After 26 more times in front of lecterns, the government decided that there would no longer be weekend briefings on Friday 5 June, which had slipped to only twice a week by July.
And by the end of Friday 31 July's edition, there wasn't another briefing until Wednesday 9 September, which left August the only month of the year without one.
The politicians
A dozen different MPs took their places in front of the media.
Mr Johnson predictably is at the top of the leaderboard with 35 appearances, followed by Health Secretary Matt Hancock (30 appearances).
Despite deputising for the prime minister when he was ill with coronavirus, foreign secretary Dominic Raab only has 12 appearances but was still the third most likely politician to appear.
The only woman to represent the government was home secretary Priti Patel who, of all ministerial colleagues, ranks last in number of outings.
Just three black or minority ethnic ministers appeared: chancellor Rishi Sunak (10 appearances), business secretary Alok Sharma (seven appearances) and Ms Patel (three appearances).
The officials
Arguably, Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty has been the most recognisable face from the non-political representatives (with 30 appearances) but he was pipped to the most number of appearances from an official by his fellow SAGE member, Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance (31 appearances).
There were 28 different people from varied occupations in science, medicine, the military and more representing their respective fields to the audience.
The last person to make their debut was Professor Kevin Fenton, on Monday 14 December. He is among thirteen people who appeared just once all year.
In terms of choreography, Mr Whitty has stood on the right just five times, Mr Vallance on the left seven times, but they've never swapped their preferred sides when appearing together.
Gender & race
Out of the 40 people appearing in different combinations, there were just five occasions where women outnumbered men. An all-male line-up was overwhelmingly preferred, occurring 74 times - equivalent to 61%.
And 18 times there was a 50-50 split (but there were only 43 times two people appeared to make that possible). But looking at the division by race, an all-white list of speakers appeared 83 times - 69% of briefings.
Naturally, the state broadcaster leads the way in questions, with the BBC having a 100% chance of asking a question.
In fact, on two dates the BBC was represented twice - with BBC North West (on 24 April) and BBC Yorkshire (on 6 May) making an appearance as well as the national BBC News.
On only four occasions was the BBC not called upon first. Sky News had 79 opportunities to ask a question and ITV (including some appearances from their own regional outlets) made 106 appearances.
From newspapers, The Daily Telegraph (29 appearances), The Sun (29 appearances) and The Times (25 appearances) were ahead of the Financial Times (23 appearances), the Daily Mail (22 appearances) and The Guardian (21 appearances).
LBC was the most represented radio station (16 appearances).
Initially, the news conferences allowed nine different media organisations to ask questions, but rarely went further than six from May.
On Thursday 2 April there were a record 16 different outlets making an appearance. Members of the public were invited to ask questions from Monday 27 April - two were selected each day.
For those watching on mute, there were still some crucial messages to impart.
The importance of social distancing and working from home was made clear on Tuesday, 24 March, when the lecterns were placed slightly further apart and journalists were only allowed to appear via video call.
The messages on those lecterns went from the NHS website address for coronavirus information (16 March to 19 March) to various designs of "Stay At Home, Protect The NHS, Save Lives" (20 March to 9 May, with a festive break on Easter weekend for "Stay Home This Easter"), followed by "Stay Alert, Control The Virus, Save Lives" (11 May to 9 September) and finally "Hands, Face, Space" (from 24 September).
Although the briefings are set to continue in 2021, other hit TV series that aired as many times as a year's worth of Downing Street updates include Glee (about a choir mixing social issues into their performances) and Lost (about people struggling to work together for survival).

Q: Using tsql greater than sign in CASE Expression (case [dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate())
   when (0) then (0)
   when (1) then (4)
   when (2) then (8)
    when (3) then (12)
     when (4) then (32)
     when (5) then (40)
     when (6) then (48)
     when (7) then (56)
     when (8) then (104)
     when (9) then (117)
     when (10) then (150) else (-1) end)

Now in my the last line, how can i say that 10 and above should be returned as 150?

A: You are using a Simple Case statement where logical expressions are not allowed. You need to use a Searched CASE expression. But in your case since you are using a function it will be bit costly to get the return value from the function for each expression.
Here is MSDN Link for both Simple Case and Searched CASE Syntax
I would suggest you to use a sub query with a Searched case as bellow.
select case when results = 0 then 0
            when results = 1 then 4
            ...
            when results >= 10 then 150
            else -1 end as CaseResults
from (select [dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) results
      from yourTable
     ) Temp

A: You can't, the CASE YourFunction WHEN ... is for equalities only. If you need to use "greater than", you'll need to rewrite your expression this way:
CASE WHEN [dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 0 THEN 0
WHEN [dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 1 THEN 4
WHEN.....
WHEN [dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) >= 10 THEN 150 ELSE -1 END

A: from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181765.aspx
SELECT
  CASE
     WHEN MIN(value) <= 0 THEN 0
     WHEN MAX(1/value) >= 100 THEN 1
  END
FROM Data

you can use any boolean expression in the WHEN clause
case
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 0) then (0)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 1) then (4)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 2) then (8)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 3) then (12)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 4) then (32)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 5) then (40)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 6) then (48)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 7) then (56)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 8) then (104)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) = 9) then (117)
  when ([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) >= 10) then (150)
  else (-1) end

you should save [dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) in a variable before evaulation tho.

A: Assuming (from your comment) that when DateEngaged is NULL, it causes YearsInService to be NULL, then I'd remove your current ELSE clause, and then use that for all other cases, something like:
case COALESCE([dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()),-1)
when (-1) then (-1)
when (0) then (0)
when (1) then (4)
when (2) then (8)
when (3) then (12)
 when (4) then (32)
 when (5) then (40)
 when (6) then (48)
 when (7) then (56)
 when (8) then (104)
 when (9) then (117)
 else (150) end

If there's a concern about future-dated DateEngaged values, I'd deal with that inside of YearsInService rather than try to deal with it in the CASE expression.

A: I like @kaf 's answer, just want add that you may reduce the number of case by this
select case when results BETWEEN 0 AND 3 then results * 4
            when results BETWEEN 4 AND 7 then results * 8
            when results BETWEEN 8 AND 9 then results * 13
            when results >= 10 then 150
            else -1
        end as CaseResults
from (select [dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) results
      from yourTable
     ) Temp

A: case [dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate())
   when (0) then (0)
   when (1) then (4)
   when (2) then (8)
    when (3) then (12)
     when (4) then (32)
     when (5) then (40)
     when (6) then (48)
     when (7) then (56)
     when (8) then (104)
     when (9) then (117)
     when IIF(case [dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate()) >= 10
           ,[dbo].[YearsInService]([DateEngaged],getdate())
           ,10)
        then (150)
     else (-1) end

This equates all the cases above 10 to the value of the function.


When you need to get away but you can't quite leave the country, what's the furthest you can get away from the daily grind? This year, the Mr, his family and I all took a quick escape to the country, heading way up North to Loch Linnhe to not only escape the day to day, the dishwashing and the incessant squark of the seagulls still nesting on my windowsill *curses*. Oh, it also happened to be the Mr's big 3-0 that weekend too, so two birds, one stone, all that jazz with a gin and tonic on the side.
Loch Linnhe is one gorgeous place, all rolling hills, green, green, green all around, and silent. So friggin quiet, the only noise getting made was us lot trying to start BBQ's and keep the dogs out of the water! We stayed in Oransay Cottage, an adorable little place, one of 4 Springwell Holidays cottages situated up off the main road on a hill, overlooking everything Loch Linnhe has to offer. Oransay was one of the dog-friendly cottages, that sleeps up to 8, with two double rooms, one with en-suite, two twin rooms, bathroom and separate WC. The kitchen and living space where super roomy and super comfortable. We had enough parking for 3 cars, and there was a cute little swing set just to the side of the cottage, what? These things are important and very Instagrammable!
The bedrooms are huge, comfortable and ours at the front had an amazing view of the Loch that was breathtaking to wake-up to every morning. I swear, I don't usually sleep in new places but it was so quiet and dark that I was zonked as soon as my head hit the pillow - then again all the fresh air and walking could have had something to do with that too.
Oransay Cottage was a perfect base for a long weekend of exploring the highlands. 20 minutes outside of Fort William, 40 minutes from the Ben Nevis Range, and just under 3 hours to Edinburgh, it was an ideal starting point whatever you fancied doing. And if you fancied doing a little of nothing? It was the perfect place to chill too.
Just across the road was a secluded little spot that we made much use of. Down a set of steps, into the trees, there was a great little clearing with a BBQ and picnic table, with two more paths to follow; one leading down to the shingle beach, the other to a very romantic, picturesque ledge that I must have drunk several glasses of Prosecco on and did the whole life pondering-ness you do when you've got a pretty view and are a little tipsy.
I couldn't fault anything about our stay and am already looking for an excuse to go back. The cottage was spotless, well looked after, and just perfect, exactly what we all needed. Oh, and the wi-fi wasn't too bad either, just incase you need to stay connected, or play Pokemon Go.
What does your perfect escape look like?
'a secluded little spot that we made much use of' LOL SLAG. I mean, oh that sounds beautiful.
Cheeky!! Hahaha! You'd have loved it!

Virginia Beach seeks resident feedback on programs, services
by: Jimmy LaRoue
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – The city of Virginia Beach wants feedback from residents on city programs, services and priorities and has mailed out a survey to a random selection of them.
Residents who received the survey are asked to complete it by Dec. 28. It said "the time invested in this survey will influence decisions made about city programs and services."
The city has contracted with ETC Institute to administer the survey, which includes some standardized questions it uses in other communities to allow Virginia Beach to benchmark itself against average ratings in other communities.
Some questions were developed specifically for Virginia Beach to get insight from residents on issues that impact the community.
Only residents randomly selected to get an invitation will be able to respond to the survey. The city said this is to ensure it hears "from a diverse range of residents and so the survey data will be statistically viable."
ETC Institute will monitor the survey distribution to make sure it reasonably reflects the city's demographic composition regarding age, geographic dispersion, race, gender and other factors.
The data will be compiled and later presented to the city in early 2023. Survey results will also be made public on the city's website. All individual responses will stay confidential, according to the city.

Chanche Medal honorees: serve, embrace, inspire
Posted on March 7, 2019 by Tereza Ma
JACKSON – When Bishop John Joseph Chanche arrived in the newly formed Diocese of Natchez in May of 1841, there were no Catholic Churches, only a couple of missionary priests, and his flock was far flung. He rose to the challenge and laid the foundation for the Diocese of Jackson. The diocese honors his legacy and thanks those who continue to build on his foundation with the Bishop Chanche medal for service.
This year, Bishop Joseph Kopacz gave 19 adults and nine young people their awards on Saturday, Feb. 24, at the Cathedral of St. Peter the Apostle. During the Mass, he used Bishop Chanche's crozier, at right, and spoke of the man who braved wilderness and scarcity to build up the kingdom of God. The brief descriptions on these pages come from the Bishop Chanche nomination forms and offer a glimpse into the men and women who serve the Church today.

South Africa after Mandela
South Africa is facing a myriad of challenges, from economic inequality to white emigration.
by Lana Pasic
After Mandela's death, the ANC will have to look for ways to curb its declining popularity [EPA]
A political icon, a revolutionary, and a moral standard for the country, Mandela was imprisoned in 1964 after the infamous Rivonia trial, which, barely sparing him a death sentence, imprisoned him for life at Robben Island. After 27 years in prison, he was released in 1990, when former South African State President FW de Klerk dismantled the apartheid system.
Upon gaining power in the first democratic elections in 1994, Mandela lived true to his ideals: equal rights for all - black and white, majority and minority. He steered a remarkable transition in a society damaged by decades of discrimination. The African National Congress' (ANC) rise to power saw the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission which aimed to establish a common history and promote forgiveness and reconciliation.
As news of the passing of the first president of a democratic South Africa swept international media, questions arose regarding what will happen in the country, and how the nation will face its biggest challenges.
Many of the problems of the apartheid system have still not been solved by the policies of the current government. Economic inequality is one of the highest in the world, with the average white South African still earning four times more than a black citizen. Almost 20 years since the first democratic election, 47 percent of South Africans are considered poor. There are high levels of xenophobia, the escalation of which we witnessed in the 2008 attacks on immigrants in Johannesburg. The rates of HIV/AIDS remain high - almost 20 percent of South African children are AIDS orphans - which carries severe social and economic consequences.
None of these problems are new. They existed during Mandela's presidency and they have remained on the agenda for the past fifteen years. The challenge after his passing will be to find another public figure, or a group, in South Africa to symbolically lead the fight for social justice, and use social influence to pressure decision-makers into enacting reforms.
Mandela had also long been the symbolic leader of the ANC - he was its president from 1991 to 1997, and was a founding member of its Youth League. Since the first democratic elections in 1994, the ANC has consistently won over 60 percent of the votes.
In recent years, however, the party has seen some internal disagreements, and new political parties have been established by former ANC leaders, including Congress of the People (2008), Agang (2013), and Economic Freedom Fighters (2013) which is the new party of Julius Malema, the former Youth League President. These have certainly diversified the political landscape of South Africa, but they haven't grown strong enough to challenge the "political monopoly" of the ANC.
The splintering of the party indicates that ANC has reached its goals as a social movement - liberation and racial equality - but that it has not fulfilled its promises as a political party. The party has been losing its voter support over the years. In 2014, they will probably resort to "playing the Mandela card" ahead of elections, but the strategy of relying on old fame and the enormous popularity of their late leader cannot last long. The ANC is inevitably headed towards an identity crisis, and as the disaffection of its electorate grows stronger, its leaders will have to think of a different rhetoric, and deliver results to regain support.

Mandela was also largely seen as the father of the "New South Africa", not only because of his historical role in the anti-apartheid struggle, but also because of his success in uniting a nation ripped apart by a racist, segregationist regime. After his death, there is no other prominent figure to lead the way to unity and cohesion of the nation.
The white minority already has fears that South Africa might become a less tolerant, more racist society. Since the end of apartheid, and especially in recent years, the idea of "South Africa turning into Zimbabwe" in terms of rights and land ownership of the white community has been steadily spreading within this part of the population. This idea is exaggerated, as the circumstances in South Africa differ significantly from Zimbabwe, and it is unlikely that Malema's calls for land appropriation will materialise.
Those claiming that the white minority in South Africa will have much to fear after Mandela's passing, usually refer to the high crime rates and attacks on farms. However, research by the Institute of Security Studies indicated that whites are less likely to be murdered in South Africa than any other racial group. Violent crime in the country happens mostly in the poor, black neighbourhoods and a large percentage of murders take place due to "a mix of social and economic factors", and interpersonal assaults.
Regardless of whether the white community's fears are substantiated or not, South Africa is facing a problem, as a significant number of its white citizens have left the country in recent years. It is yet to be seen, after Mandela's passing, whether Zuma can reassure the white community and prevent further fear-provoked emigration.
Although South Africa has suffered a great loss with Mandela's death, it is unlikely that the country will disintegrate or fall into chaos and violence. As the nation and its politicians mourn, it is important that his ideals and legacy are remembered and applied in future policy-making. And what better political ideal to follow than the one expressed in his words:
"No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."

Home Blog Honda Fined Record $70 Million for Failing to Report Injury and Death Claims as Required by Federal Law
Honda Fined Record $70 Million for Failing to Report Injury and Death Claims as Required by Federal Law
Greg Bubalo January 26, 2015 | Greg Bubalo | General Posts
Signaling it is fed up with "business as usual" from automakers, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) last week levied a record $70 million fine against Honda for violations of the TREAD Act for failing to report death and injury claims, and warranty and consumer satisfaction claims over an 11-year period from 2003 through 2014. The main goal of the TREAD Act, (Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act), enacted in 2000, is to improve consumer vehicle safety through an early warning system to help quickly detect and identify potential vehicle safety defects.
Early Warning Reports
Under the TREAD Act, automakers must file quarterly Early Warning Reports (EWR reports) with the Department of Transportation with the following information:
Number of vehicles produced each year by make and model;
Death and injury claims;
Property damage claims;
Consumer complaints and particular problem/component part(s) involved; and
Warranty claims and component part(s) involved
EWR data are examined in an attempt to more quickly identify vehicle safety defects and order recalls if necessary. The EWR reporting system has been called the heart of the TREAD Act because off its critical importance in quickly identifying potential vehicle safety defects.
Honda failed to provide safety reports for 11 years
The onus is on automakers to continuously update and correct their internal reporting systems to keep the focus on consumer safety at all times. U. S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx explained it this way, "Honda and all of the automakers have a safety responsibility they must live up to—no excuses." Obviously, the vehicle defect early warning system will work only if automakers timely file EWR reports with the required safety information.
The NHTSA assessed two separate $35 million fines against Honda after it admitted in November 2014 that it failed to report 1,729 injury and deaths claims over an 11-year period from 2003 through 2014, and failed to report warranty and customer satisfaction claims during the same 11-year period, in violation of the TREAD Act. Further, Honda admitted it has known about the underreporting since 2011 but still failed to act until 2014.
Although it agree to pay two separate $35 million fines, Honda still deflected responsibility and blamed reporting problems on unintentional data entry and programming errors, and misinterpretation of regulations, among other excuses.
Under a Consent Order, Honda agreed:
To provide within 60 days from December 29, 2014, details to the NHTSA about the 1,729 death and injury claims it failed to report or underreported since 2003;
To increased NHTSA oversight; and
To submit to two separate third-party audits to ensure reporting compliance under the TREAD Act;
To develop written procedures to improve its reporting practices;
To improve personnel training, and do training on at least an annual basis
"What we cannot tolerate and will not tolerate is an automaker failing to report to us any recall issues. If we don't know about these problems, we are missing a crucial piece in the recall process," explained U. S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. We applaud the NHTSA for taking a tougher stance toward automaker safety reporting. For too long, automakers have been "gaming" the system to prolong or avoid necessary recalls, and that practice has cost many people their lives. It is the responsibility of all automakers to continuously monitor and update their safety reporting systems to keep the focus on consumer safety.


Today we would like to let you know that we are a bit older than yesterday. It is our 2nd anniversary!. Well, really our birthday was on 11th of November, but at that time we were struggling with one of the most important decisions we have ever made. The integration of Open Classifieds to Yclas.
Right now Yclas is a complete classifieds solution, where you can get a hosted plan or a self-hosted script to run it on its own. This is a challenge for us and we would like to continue the growth we faced at Open Classifieds with its great result. Probably nobody in the market has such a complete solution.
WOWW!!!! All of those improvements within one year! I would like to congratulate our commited team, Oliver, Constantinos, Thom, our lovely support agent Martina, Chema and why not myself. But also thanks to all the people who helped us to achieve this and are not currently working with us: Vicky and Lamiae, they are amazing girls! And of course, thank you all of you. Without you this wouldn't never be possible.

Olga Romanovskaya — Ukrainian singer and designer, who under his real name Olga Koryagina spoke in a popular women's show-the group «VIA Gra». She was born in the regional center of Nikolaev, in southern Ukraine. Since childhood Olya studied pop and classical singer, went to music school. But the desire of becoming a famous singer in harmony at the girl with interest in the modeling business.
In the hometown of Olga koriagina participated in runway fashion shows and photo shoots as a model.

In three years she will become «Miss Koblevo» in a similar competition held regularly in the black sea resort posilock, which attracts beauties from all over the South of the country.
After receiving the matriculation Olga arrived in the Nikolaev branch of the Kiev national University of culture and art. There she was not a singer and not a fashion model, and designer at the faculty of decorative and applied arts, specialising in textile processing. Looking ahead, we note that in a few years it is being implemented in the field: will create her own line of women's outerwear and will release it under the brand name «Romanovska».
When Olga Koryagina was studying on the 3rd course, she heard about the casting for the vacancies in the already incredibly popular pop group «VIA Gra». The fact that the singer Nadezhda Granovskaya decided to cease cooperation with the staff and leave the project, so the producer Konstantin Meladze looking for a new member.
The Nikolaev student managed to beat hundreds of competitors to win the competition, but under certain circumstances, the vacant place was taken by Christina Kots-Gotlib, former miss Donetsk. She stayed in the team for 3 months only, after which the leaders of the project it became obvious that this singer does not fit into the team. Thus, in April 2006, the year Olga Koryagina became a full member of the trio «VIA Gra».
Her partners on stage were Vera Brezhnev, Albina dzhanabaeva, with whom Olga has recorded an English version of the album «L. M.

In addition, the group Koryagina starred in new year's television musical «First house», where he played one of piratok and sang the song «Lay, the rain of dreams».
But in «VIA GRE» Olga stayed only one year and left the band in April 2007. However, along with Brezhnev and Dzhanabaeva again, she will take the stage at the anniversary concert in 2011. Leader of group Konstantin Meladze and Alan Badoev wanted to see the singer as one of six mentors in the reality show «Hochu V VIA GRU», but Olga does not consider this project interesting for themselves and refused to participate in the show.
A few years after leaving the band, under a new name Olga Romanovskaya, she started a solo career. For a long time, has only released singles and video clips of the singer. Debut work was «lullaby», enjoyed moderate popularity. Then came the song «Knockin' on heaven», «secret love», «Music» and «Beautiful words». The last song held the record for the singer's 33rd place in the Ukrainian charts.
And in early December of 2015, fans of Olga Romanov finally waited full-length debut album, and favorite female singer. The album was called «Hold me tight» in honor of one of the last issued by the single songs, and contained 14-five songs, including old, well-known hits and new works.
In March 2016 on the website of the TV channel «Friday!» has information from which it follows that leading the popular program «Revizorro» Elena Volatile leaves the project, and in its place will be singer Olga Romanov.
For a long time, the program managers kept fans of the show in suspense and claimed that considering the well-known singer, model and designer only as one of the contenders, but the final decision has been made. In addition, there were rumors that can be a leading man and, in particular, the flamboyant showman Nikita Dzhigurda.
But in the next edition of «Revizorro» the truth was revealed. The author visited the Stavropol Krai, and visited the cafeteria of the North-Caucasian Federal University, and then at the athletic club.
In late 2006, Olga Koryagina met with the Odessa businessman Andrei Romanov, and in April 2007 I married him. The couple has two sons, Oleg and Maxim.

and my New.js:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

/* GET users listing. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
  res.render('news', { title: ' Last news' });
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $(".nav-tabs a").click(function(){
        $(this).tab('show');
    });
});
});

module.exports = router;

What am I doing wrong?

A: Node.js is Server Side, you can't update the contents of a Web Page within the Browser from Express. With Express, you can only respond to requests for data. You will need to build out an API of Routes within your Express application to retrieve data from your Data Store and when a request is received via AJAX calls from within you UI code.

Picking-up on What Pets are Leaving Down
Meeting the demand for goods that help pet parents easily manage their animals' waste means that manufacturers are creating innovative tools and multi-purpose solutions.
By Dorothy Crouch
Within the marketplace, pet parents are able to find many different types of waste solutions. These products include eco-friendly waste bags, dispensers and carriers. Though waste-disposal and pick-up products for pet excrement might seem to be a limited segment of the market, consumers want solutions that make this chore much easier.
Some manufacturers of pick-up goods are interested in taking business beyond the standard bag used to dispose of pet waste by creating products that afford the ease of carrying many supplies, while remaining small enough to be convenient. At Doog, husband and wife team Jessica and Jamie Knight create solutions to solve the issues of pet-waste pickup by moving beyond the standard bag.
"We started with dog walking belts, then created running belts (a smaller, lightweight, more simplified version of the walkie belt)," explains Jessica Knight. "Most recently, we've designed the Walkie Pouch, which is a little canvas pouch that holds our pocket pack bags around your dog's leash for a quick dash around the block."
For other manufacturers that have created products to solve some of the common problems associated with pick-up bags—such as environmental concerns and ease of use—the smaller details are becoming bigger selling points. For Paul D. Cannella, president and owner of PoopBags.com, this meant combining the most popular features from two of his goods into one product.
"We're going to be merging our USDA-Certified Biobased and Count-Down Rolls. Our Count Down Rolls are numbered from 15 to 1 on each roll. By increasing our production runs and investing in more machines, we're able to merge the SKUs and bring the price down. Now we compare head-to-head price wise, but with USDA Biobased bags with the Count Down feature."
Manufacturers who have successfully identified the needs of their client bases will be able to recognize that keeping certain products, which are beloved by customers, can be as important as unveiling new goods. Alison Cremeans, brand manager of PAW (Pet Adventures Worldwide) discusses how the doggo Retractable Leash Accessory Bag for Large Retractable Leashes became a popular product that has built a strong customer base.
"This product has been around for more than 10 years and continues to be our best-selling retractable leash accessory. The majority of pet parents use waste bags that come in rolls and I believe the success of this item is partly due to the fact that it can accommodate these traditional roll sizes."
Manufacturers also need to clearly identify the ways in which pet care has changed. Through identifying how the role of pets has become elevated within the family, they are able to recognize how their products will fit into the new family dynamic. Christine McManus, creative director of Doggie Walk Bags, explains how the company's pop-out bags remain a customer favorite as pets become more accepted as family.
"When we started our business 30 years ago, approximately 20 percent of apartments accepted pets. Today, 80 percent allow pets. Picking up after a pet is not only a courteous action, in many places it is demanded by law to keep common areas cleaner and safer."
Don't Waste That Sale
Retailers must be creative when it comes to expanding pick-up product sales for pets. While having a discerning eye regarding inventory choices is wise, retailers shouldn't immediately turn away from new, innovative product offerings in this category, as manufacturers also know their own clients' demands.
"We find some retailers are hesitant to try it at first, as they are often not sure where it fits into their store," says Knight. "We always find that when a store puts in some bags, belts, pouches and our training gear together—and near the travel and pick-up section—it has a great stand out in store and sells well."
By keeping in mind that these products exist to afford ease and simplicity to pet parents, retailers can use this consumer need as an opportunity to showcase products designed to improve such a simple, yet unpleasant task.
"Knowledgeable staff, customer service and convenient placement are always helpful, but having these products available for customers to see and touch can make a huge difference," says Chris Crosson, co-owner and president of Doggie Walk Bags. "Some of our products, like our Cross Body Bags
or Dogbag Butlers, are hard to resist once they are tried on or seen in action."
While it's important for retailers to remain accessible to customers for informed discussions regarding the best pick-up solutions, certain customers prefer being left alone to shop and find these products for themselves. By displaying goods in different areas throughout the store, retailers will help ease the burden of waste management for pet parents who have different types of shopping styles.
"We suggest that our retailers place these items in line with or nearby their leash section, but also in their waste-management section," Cremeans advises. "Some pet parents don't realize they're just dealing with the issue and may not be aware that there is a very easy, very affordable solution. We depend on our retailers to help them solve the problems they didn't even know they had."
Despite the popularity of solutions for disposing of animal waste, there are still some pet parents who have not yet recognized the importance of picking up all the excrement, every time. These consumers who are resistant to purchasing pet-waste bags are important potential customers and should not be ignored, despite their current lack of interest in buying these products.
"Some people won't [pick up waste] if they don't have a 'free' grocery bag, so we wanted to make a value tier to overcome that," Canella explains.
Though these customers might be a tough sell when it comes to waste bags, there is still an opportunity to convert these pet parents by changing their minds and convincing them of the benefits of using these products. It is this potential to expand his offerings to a resistant segment of pet parents that prompted Cannella to examine how he could make waste bags more appealing to these customers.
"We're adding a value-priced line for folks buying purely on price," Cannella explains. "Our value-priced line leverages the oxo-biodegradable technology we won an award for several years."
Though resistant pet parents might view buying pet-waste bags as a purchase that can't be justified, through explaining the benefits of using affordable, quality products for disposal, retailers can shift these consumers away from bad habits and into a sale. Within this expanding market, retailers can find opportunities to sell waste pick-up products, but also an array of accessories to reduce the awkward task of cleaning up after pets. PB

This made me laugh as I headed out for my run. I respect whoever wrote that. And now that song is stuck in my head.
It was a beautiful day for a run. So clear and I didn't even wear gloves and had to take my snowcoat off halfway through (and wrap it around my waist, I am so cool I know). I didn't look at my garmin and just cranked some Miley Cyrus and daydreamed about my life.
When I first came to Canada I noticed these cloud trails (I have no idea what their real name is) everywhere. I always wonder what the deal is with them and am too lazy to google it, I thought they were just aeroplane trails but one of my hippy friends on Salt Spring Island told me that it is some conspiracy thing… what, I do not know. Cloud mysteries.
As soon as I got home I (showered) and got straight back in my pjs for cereal. My pjs have been retuned to their former pj glory as I finally bought $12 running pants and stopped running in pyjamas. I am classy for sure.
I also took my antihistamine for the day, I am confused though because it is apparently green according to the box? Isn't this blue? I have a lot of big questions in my life right now I know.
These resistance bands. I bought them a little while ago at the superstore and they are amazing. So much fun and so pretty and gosh do they burn.
These yoga gloves, they are amazing and because I have always been too cheap to buy a yoga mat (Postgrad studies are slightly expensive 😉 ) despite having done yoga for seven years I am pretty darn excited about them. Super grippy.
And penguin lollies. These bad boys were great for refueling and almost (almost) too cute to eat.
Favourite lolly (candy)? – I do not discriminate when it comes to lollies, I will eat it all. My absolute favourites have a certain texture though- chewy but not gummy chewy. I don't really know how else to describe it.
Does anyone else just do yoga on the ground/a towel/the carpet like me? -I'm sure it's probably not recommended but I have survived so far.
This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Miley Cyrus. Bookmark the permalink.
When I do yoga at home I just do it on the carpet and don't bother taking out a mat. I've never seen gloves like that but they seem like a smart idea!
So…I'm following you but not getting updates. It's very upsetting.
Meanwhile, I like so many things about this post. Especially the penguins.
The gloves, because I always want fingerless gloves, always.
And I always use my mat, but it's cheap from Target. Per the gloves for yoga, I've never really needed those before now. I don't know…hm.
I have more issues with a complete lack of flexibility. Is there a piece of clothing for that?

When I was a child, I would sometimes think about what Heaven would be like. All I really understood was that Heaven was this great place where we would "be with God forever" and everyone would be happy. Well, to my little mind, the greatest place I would want to spend long lengths of time in would obviously be chock full of my favorite Saturday morning cartoon toys. I had it all planned…when I got to Heaven, I was going to ask God for the ENTIRE COLLECTION of He-Man action figures and playsets. Pure bliss, as far as I was concerned, required a large amount of the best toys I could imagine.
Even as I've grown and matured in my understanding of God, Heaven, and Eternity Future, my desire to ask God for "just one thing" hasn't subsided, but the "one thing" I would ask for has changed. At various stages of my life, it's been financial assistance, romantic love, new friends, a new job, a healthy baby, my own health, the health of someone else, a reasonably-comfortable life, and many other things.
Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but if I'm feeling very spiritually mature, I tell people that when I get to Heaven, the only thing I plan on asking God for is a blue-ray history lesson narrated by Him. I just want to know why stuff happened like it did and how He worked through it all.
But when you look closely at my progressing list of "just one thing" requests, not much has changed since I was fully enamored by plastic toys. Even though I'm asking Him about good things for myself or others, I'm still treating God like a cosmic vending machine. Even if God actually gave me the toys, the money, and the good health…each "one thing" item is still something that I could lose, something that could be taken away from me.
Relationship. Created Being relating back to his Creator. That is the most important "one thing" we could ask for, and it will not be taken away from us, not even in the day of adversity. However, we often let life's issues and detours distract us from the true aim of our lives – to know God and to be known by Him.
It's good to pray about all our requests, cares, and concerns, for God has instructed us to do so (Philippians 4:6). However, the next time you do ask for something, go for the biggest thing you can ask Him for. Ask God to give you Himself. Seek a deeper relationship with Him. Ask for even a glimpse at His glory. Ask to be closer to Him, even if that means dealing with enemies and adversity. God's beauty and splendor exceeds everything we can see on this earth.
Ask for Him. He will not disappoint.
Any attempt to fuel ourselves on anything other than a relationship with God will not work. This is why the teaching we listen to matters so much. Even if what the teacher proposes begins with a Scripture, we must be attentive to the content of their message. When we listen to "Bible teachers" whose teaching does not align with what Jesus taught, we are attempting to use a fuel that we were never made to run on. We may start out alright, their teaching may seem to work…but the eventual consequences are rather severe, like an engine that was given water instead of gasoline.
From these come envy, quarreling, slanders, evil suspicions, and constant disagreement among men whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain. But godliness with contentment is a great gain.
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
When we get right down to their core motivation, many of the false teachers are really doing it for the money and comfort. They imagine that godliness is a way to material gain, and this greed is what drives them. They are focused on themselves in the here and now. Their focus isn't on God and Who He Is.
However, being in relationship with God has its rewards, just not the way the false teachers are aiming. Paul is very clear here – there is something to be gained by imitating God. When we fuel ourselves with God, and so much so that we take on god-like-ness in the way we think, speak, and act….we do end up receiving other rewards and benefits. However, instead of temporary material gain, we are promised something far greater. Just as Christ told Pilate that His kingdom was not of this world (John 18:36), the great gain that comes from having godliness with contentment right now will not be found in this world, either.
But if we're not fueling ourselves on the right teaching – the kind of instruction that points us toward God – then we will miss out on both Him and His greater rewards.
I pray that your participation in the faith may become effective through knowing every good thing that is in us for the glory of Christ.
We are redeemed by God.
We are now related to God.
We are now acceptable to God.
Our sins are permanently paid for.
We are brought close to God.
We are part of a Holy and Royal priesthood.
We have a Heavenly citizenship.
These are incredible benefits, and Chafer's entire list is just the starting point for our relationship with Christ. From here, we launch into an eternal relationship with God where we grow and mature, becoming more and more like Christ. On top of that, we even have the opportunity to earn eternal rewards for our participation with God in what He is doing here and now.
However, we will not be effective in our partnership with God and our maturity will be stunted if we think that any of our good qualities originate within us. This is what Paul is praying about for Philemon.
Just think about it…Philemon has a good reputation and hosts the local church meetings in his house. Philemon has the money and property to have the local church meet in his house. With blessings like these also comes the temptation to believe that he's self-sustaining or that God should bless his efforts because he's "so good". However, that shift in attitude also brings a dangerous shift in focus…he would begin to focus on himself rather than on his Savior.
How can Philemon effectively minister about Jesus if he's busy looking at himself?
Paul prays that Philemon would protect himself and his ministry from being ineffective; yet it's a trap that we can easily fall into as well. The American Christian is quite rich, especially in comparison to our brothers and sisters in the rest of the world. We need to watch that our affluence doesn't influence our understanding of where our blessings come from. As always, a Christ-focused mindset is the cure.

October is Breast Cancer awareness month and Justplay decided to ask our players a few serious questions about this illness.
According to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA), breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in South Africa and our research correlates with this. A total of 3 440 people completed a short survey about the disease which supplied some interesting results.
Seventy percent of respondents know at least one person with breast cancer, and 55% of the total respondents have someone close to them, a friend or family member, who has or has had the disease. Further to that, almost half of the respondents have lost someone to breast cancer so we thought it pertinent to ask some hard-hitting questions about awareness and early detection.
Following from this, we wanted to know how much people know about preventing breast cancer. To pick up any problems at an early stage, the experts suggest doing a self-examination once a month, after your menstrual cycle, and going for an annual mammogram from the age of 40.
Shockingly, only a third knew they had to self-examine once a month. Half are under the impression they need to self-examine every day (too regular, a lump might develop and you won't realise it's new) or only every three months (too long, aggressive cancer can cause damage quickly). The remaining 20% didn't know they had to self-examine at all.
Thankfully, 59% of the respondents are aware of the need to go for regular mammograms but a scary 41% are not. Of the respondents who are in the age bracket that should be getting annual mammograms but aren't, 75% are not getting them done either because they can't afford it or they don't have access to the service.
It is clear that breast cancer still affects a great number of people but despite this, not many people have a proper understanding of the illness and the importance of early detection.
This is why something like Breast Cancer Awareness Month is so important. Organisations like CANSA and the Pink Drive are doing fantastic work to make people more aware of the illness and help diagnose as early as possible. It is up to each of us to inform those around us of good habits such as regular (but not too regular) self-examinations.
