On January 1 2001 Charlton Athletic gained their first victory over Arsenal in 44 years. On 3 February 2001 Dennis Bergkamp scored the only goal at Coventry City to give Arsenal a win. It was our first away win since November. The times did not feel particularly wonderful, and yet that opening to 2001 marked (had we but known it) the moment when the world changed.
Within a year there was early talk of Arsenal going through a whole season unbeaten away from home.
Within two years there was talk of Arsenal going a whole season unbeaten. How times change.
In 2000/01 Arsenal were FA Cup finalists and second in the league to Manchester United. In 2001/2 Arsenal completed their second double in four years and also that season scored in every single league game – the first team ever to do so.
It was Sylvain Wiltord who scored the goal on 8 May 2002 away to Manchester United that gave Arsenal both the record of being unbeaten away from home while the four goals against Everton on the last day of the season (when it felt like the whole of the North Bank was about to collapse) gave Arsenal the record of being the first team to score in every league game through the season. Bergkamp, Henry and Jeffers scored.
Arsène Wenger however wanted more and made his "shift of power" speech, referring to the move of power away from Manchester United. And on 20 September 2002 Mr Wenger suggested his team could remain the whole season undefeated. Here's what he said.
At first everything seemed fine and with the beating of Leeds away 4–1 on 26 September 2002 Arsenal then broke the record for scoring in 47 consecutive games, and the record for away league games without defeat (22).
But Arsenal lost to Everton on 19 October 2002, and then at home to Blackburn on 26 October 2002. A 1-2 home defeat to Auxerre on 22 October 2002 sandwiched between these two meant three defeats in senior competitions in a row – the worst run in 19 years.

Sujewka (, , ) ist ein Ort in der russischen Oblast Kaliningrad. Er gehört zur kommunalen Selbstverwaltungseinheit Stadtkreis Polessk im Rajon Polessk.

Geographische Lage
Sujewka liegt 32 Kilometer östlich der Kreisstadt Polessk (Labiau) an einer Stichstraße, die in westliche Richtung von der  Föderalstraße A216 (auch Europastraße 77) abzweigt. Drei Kilometer Luftlinie entfernt befindet sich der Bahnhof Salessje-Nowoje an der Bahnstrecke Kaliningrad–Sowetsk (Königsberg–Tilsit).

Geschichte
Das seinerzeit Rogainen genannte kleine Dorf bestand vor 1945 lediglich aus ein paar kleinen Höfen und Gehöften. Zwischen 1874 und 1945 war der Ort in den Amtsbezirk Uszballen/Uschballen (1938 bis 1945 "Amtsbezirk Mühlenau", der Ort existiert nicht mehr) eingegliedert, der zum Kreis Labiau im Regierungsbezirk Königsberg der preußischen Provinz Ostpreußen gehörte. Im Jahre 1910 waren in Rogainen 158 Einwohner gemeldet, im Jahre 1933 waren es 149.

Am 3. Juni 1938 – mit amtlicher Bestätigung vom 16. Juli 1938 – wurde Rogainen aus ideologischen Gründen der Beseitigung fremdländisch klingender Ortsnamen in "Hornfelde" umbenannt. Am 1. April 1939 gab Hornfelde seine Eigenständigkeit auf und schloss sich mit den Gemeinden Daudertshöfen (bis 1938: Lappienen, nicht mehr existent) und Mörnersfelde (bis 1938: Skieslauken, russisch: Oruscheinoje, nicht mehr existent) zur neuen Gemeinde Mörnersfelde zusammen.

In Kriegsfolge kam Hornfelde 1945 mit dem nördlichen Ostpreußen zur Sowjetunion. Im Jahr 1947 erhielt der Ort (als Rogainen) den russischen Namen Sujewka und wurde gleichzeitig dem Dorfsowjet Salessowski selski Sowet im Rajon Bolschakowo zugeordnet. Seit 1965 gehört der Ort zum Rajon Polessk. Von 2008 bis 2016 gehörte Sujewka zur Landgemeinde Salessowskoje selskoje posselenije und seither zum Stadtkreis Polessk.

Kirche
Mehrheitlich war die Bevölkerung Rogainens resp. Hornfeldes vor 1945 evangelischer Konfession. Das Dorf war in das Kirchspiel der Kirche Popelken eingepfarrt und gehörte so zum Kirchenkreis Labiau in der Kirchenprovinz Ostpreußen der Kirche der Altpreußischen Union. Heute liegt Sujewka im Einzugsgebiet der evangelisch-lutherischen Gemeinde in Bolschakowo, einer Filialgemeinde in der Kirchenregion der Salzburger Kirche in Gussew (Gumbinnen) innerhalb der Propstei Kaliningrad (Königsberg) der Evangelisch-lutherischen Kirche Europäisches Russland.

The total US liability is estimated at 53 trillion dollars. Every US citizen must become more productive by $175,000 each to cover the invisible mortgage. Government and corporations are not going to fix this problem – they will leave it to the kids to figure out how to make, mix, and measure innovation.
It is official; the United States has run out of bandwidth and we need to create more. The only way to accomplish this is an extraordinary expansion in the breadth, depth, and scale of innovation. This is a situation that cannot be rationalized by any conventional school of thought – starting with our definition for innovation.
The accepted definition for innovation is "something novel and useful". I hope that I am not insulting any B-school professors or innovation guru's but "something novel and useful" is already bankrupt as a definition for the only thing that can pull us out of this flaming tailspin of debt economics.
So there it is: a simple, clean, and effective: If the number is greater than 1 we have a creation of wealth. If the number is equal to 1 we have a transfer of wealth, if the number is less than 1 we have the creation of more debt.
It should not matter how one defines bandwidth as long as the top number and the bottom number are measured the same way. If the kids can increase the top number, or lower the bottom number for anything anywhere by using their social, creative, or intellectual ability, alone or in groups, then they can become successful innovators.
There is a clear and rational business case for bandwidth – people will pay for it at a price relative to their own available bandwidth. Let's give the kids a game they can win. Let's give them a score that they can keep. Let's show them how entrepreneurs work, think, and play.
For the same amount of bandwidth expended, they can create more bandwidth for 10 rich people or more bandwidth for 1000 poor people. Let the kids decide. If they give some people more bandwidth at the expense of the bandwidth of others, they lose. If they find synergies that act as a bandwidth multiplier, they win. Let the kids figure it out.
All we need to do is help develop standards to measure bandwidth.
It's the least that our old people can do and a much simpler problem for our feeble minds to solve. The Ingenesist Project specifies 3 web applications which if deployed to social media will allow social capital, creative capital, and intellectual capital to become tangible outside the construct of the traditional corporation – we believe that this may do the trick. There may be others working on the problem too, we don't care – at the end of the day, we all work for bandwidth.

Portland increasing homeless camp removals Monday
by: KOIN 6 News Staff
The city says they will prioritize camps with eight or more tents first
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The City of Portland says it is handling homeless camp cleanups differently starting Monday, focusing on clearing tent groups that pose safety or health threats.
Last week, the City of Portland announced that it will be increasing the number of urban homeless camps they remove for camps in what they are calling a "more assertive approach." In addition to clearing camps that pose health and safety risks, the revamped initiative also targets camps that block sidewalks, transit stops, public restrooms and building entrances.
The city says they will prioritize camps with eight or more tents first.
Street Roots Lead Ambassador Gary Barker was homeless a year ago and said he knows what it's like to have to move from one place to another.
"That's not a solution to make people move somewhere where they already have nowhere to go, how would you feel? think about that," he said.
Barker said he doesn't believe going back to pre-pandemic policies is the answer. He wants to see more housing options first.
According to Mark Alejos, a spokesperson with the city's Homelessness and Urban Camping Impact Reduction Program, their organization provides garbage removal, hygiene access, resource referral and job opportunities in addition to removing the campsites.
"Using empathy and innovation, we minimize the impacts of homelessness today while partner programs expand long-term access to safe, affordable housing," Alejos told KOIN 6 News.
This approach comes after officials said the number and size of homeless camps — and trash — has increased since the pandemic began.
'More assertive approach': City to increase homeless camp removals
According to the agency's revised guidance statement, their previous COVID-19 Phase 1 Protocol was deemed "ineffective" based on their analysis and feedback.
Kim James, Cascadia's clinical director of homeless and housing support said there's a lot going on behind the scenes that people don't see.
"We try to work with those individuals and offer them solutions, offer them services, ongoing and so when they are posted they do have some alternatives," she said. "They have met us, they know we're here, they know that outreach is available."
From March to July 2020, campsite removals ceased altogether following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Multnomah County Health Department. Then removals resumed but in a drastically reduced capacity following a revised campsite protocol for campsites that posed the greatest health and safety risks, officials said.
City of Roses or City of Homeless? Portland's human tragedy
Though it's still unknown whether the number of homeless people on the street actually increased since the pandemic began, city officials have made it clear that the number and sizes of camps has increased, as well as the amount of trash.
Before the pandemic, about 50 campsites were removed each week. But for the past year, the city removed an average of five campsites each week, leaving behind a build-up of trash, needles and other biohazardous waste across Portland, officials said.

IL-1 Blockade Appears Effective Against Gout
— Canakinumab lowered the risk of attacks by more than half in post-MI patients
by Nancy Walsh, Senior Staff Writer, MedPage Today December 29, 2018
This story was originally published June 14, 2018. As part of MedPage Today's year-end review of 2018's top stories, we are republishing it along with an update on what has happened since with interleukin-1 as a treatment target in gout.
AMSTERDAM -- Treatment with canakinumab (Ilaris) reduced the risk of gout flares by more than half among patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI), according to a post-hoc analysis of trial data presented here.
In a secondary analysis of the Canakinumab Anti-inflammatory Thrombosis Outcomes Study (CANTOS), the hazard ratios for gout flares were 0.40 (95% CI 0.22-0.73) for patients with normal baseline serum urate, 0.48 (95% CI 0.31-0.74) for those with elevated serum urate, and 0.45 (95% CI 0.28-0.72) for those with very elevated urate, reported Daniel Solomon, MD, of Harvard Medical School in Boston.
"I think this is really important as a proof of concept," Solomon said during the opening plenary abstract session at the European Congress of Rheumatology annual meeting, sponsored by the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR).
Normal urate levels were defined as below 6.9 mg/dL, elevated levels were 6.9 to 8.9 mg/dL, and very elevated levels were ≥9 mg/dL.
CANTOS enrolled 10,061 patients who had previously had an MI, and whose serum C-reactive protein (CRP) was ≥2 mg/L. Their median age was 61, median BMI was 29.8, and median baseline serum urate was 6.1 mg/dL. Three-quarters were men.
The study's main purpose, as reported at the 2017 European Society of Cardiology annual meeting and in the New England Journal of Medicine, was to test the cardiovascular benefits of canakinumab and, by extension, the so-called inflammation hypothesis of cardiovascular disease. However, the data included records of gout diagnoses and attacks, forming a basis for the current secondary analysis.
"As we all know, gout inflammation depends on interleukin (IL)-1β release from a variety of cells. IL-1β is also known to be an important mediator of acute cardiovascular events," Solomon said.
Current gout treatments focus on lowering serum urate, and targeting IL-1β represents a different mechanism of action.
Patients were randomized to receive placebo or canakinumab in doses of 50 mg, 150 mg, or 300 mg subcutaneously every 3 months. Serum urate and high sensitivity CRP were measured every 3 months during the first year and then annually.
Median baseline urate levels were 5.5% in the normal urate group, 7.6% in the elevated urate group, and 9.8% in the very elevated group. Median baseline CRP across the groups was approximately 4 to 5 mg/L, and 5% to 20% had a history of gout.
Over 5 years of follow-up, the cumulative incidence of gout flares was 1% to 3%, and across the three canakinumab arms, the risk of acute gout was reduced by 50% to 60%, with no difference according to dose. There was a much higher incidence, however, at 10% to 15%, among those with known gout.
Rates of gout flares in the normal, elevated, and very elevated urate groups were 0.28, 1.36, and 5.94/100 person-years, and rates of major adverse cardiovascular events were 4.1, 5.3, and 5.6/100, respectively.
Levels of CRP dropped "dramatically," but urate remained stable. In a stratified analysis, there were no interactions detected between gout flares and gender, age, aspirin or diuretic use, or BMI.
Strengths of this secondary analysis were that it originated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial and had longitudinal CRP and urate measurements, but a major limitation was that gout attacks were not adjudicated, according to Solomon.
EULAR session moderator Robert Landewé, MD, PhD, of the University of Amsterdam, commented that this analysis found "an intriguing relative risk reduction, but the absolute risk reduction was about 1% to 2%, for a number needed to treat of 5,200." He posed the question to Solomon, "Do you think this will at any time be found a feasible therapy?"
"Currently in the U.S. the price tag for canakinumab is very high, and it is used very sparingly, mostly in orphan diseases," Solomon replied. "But there are a number of IL-1 blocking agents in development, some of which are small molecules. I'm not suggesting that this is a substitute for urate-lowering therapy -- it's a different mechanism of action."
Solomon added, "But, it is not ready for prime time."


How much do limo drivers get paid?
UPS (United Parcel Service) truck and van drivers are well compensated and enjoy strong job security relative to many other transportation jobs. UPS hires drivers with both commercial and non-commercial driver's licenses, although those who can drive the larger trucks will generally be better compensated and have more chances to make their way up the job ladder.
UPS drivers often start off as package handlers at a local distribution centre before moving up to being able to drive the trucks. However, another way that many drivers end up working for UPS is by starting off through seasonal work. UPS hires many temporary drivers during the holiday season, when package traffic greatly increases. The denser the population, the more drivers that UPS needs in the area. There is less job competition for driver positions in more rural areas, however.
One of the best aspects of driving commercially for UPS is that the distances involved are far less than most trucking jobs. It is possible to commute from home every day for most UPS drivers. Most UPS drivers are salaried but eligible for overtime during times of high volume and receive very generous benefits packages. UPS drivers also earn substantial pensions after retirement if they have worked with the company for a certain number of years.
UPS drivers must complete an educational program at the UPS Service Provider Training School before being considered for a permanent position. Many applicants enrol in the training program, which lasts six days, through a part-time position at UPS. The applicant needs to then pass a set of driving tests and written exams. A probationary period of three months follows, and if the driver manages to get through it without accidents or other performance issues, they'll be considered for a permanent position.
The UPS delivery truck is called the "package truck." Drivers need to become very familiar with unloading this particular vehicle, using the on-board global positioning device, using the electronic clipboard to monitor the packages and dealing with customers courteously and efficiently. It's a challenging job that requires knowledge, driving skill, responsibility and social skills.
UPS drivers are unionised, enjoy health benefits, substantial salaries and pensions. They need to work very hard, are subject to constant semi-automated performance review, must meet zero-tolerance standards of personal behaviour and have to maintain a good level of physical fitness while lifting thousands of pounds of boxes every day. UPS drivers must also adhere closely to corporate policies that determine everything from their driving technique to precisely how many seconds they are allocated to locate and deliver a package.

Carnegie Center is Currently Closed | Hours
The Carnegie Center is pleased to present the Louisville Area Fiber and Textile Artists Group Exhibition, on display July 26 through October 5, 2013. Founded in 1995, Louisville Area Fiber and Textile Artists (LAFTA) is an organization of local visual artists whose work encompasses various surface design and construction techniques. The exhibit includes work by LAFTA members Lisa Austin, Gweneth A. Dunleavy, Judy Goodwin, Linda Witte Henke, Gloria Kemper-O'Neil, Trish Korte, Bette Levy, Kathleen Loomis, Sallie Manassah, Pamela Mattei, Alyce McDonald, Susan Mercke, Luci Mistratov, Mary Nehring, Leigh Payne, Marti Plager, Jenna Richards, Felice Sachs, Beth Schnellenberger, Pat Sturtzel, Kit Tossman, Joanne Weis, and Suzi Zimmerer.
Members of Louisville Area Fiber and Textile Artists are a very diverse group who share a deep appreciation and passion for a wide range of fiber arts and represent varying degrees of education and training. The two-fold mission of LAFTA is to provide support and information to the members and to increase community awareness and understanding of fiber and textile arts. Objectives of the group are: to provide a forum for the general exchange of ideas and opportunities for networking; to provide members with opportunities to display work and receive critical input; to disseminate information regarding exhibitions, events and resources; to develop exhibitions, workshops and lectures for the membership and the community; and to offer assistance and collaboration to organizations and galleries with similar interests. Please visit www.laftalouisville.org for more information on Louisville Area Fiber and Textile Artists.
About the selection process for the works included in this exhibit, juror Beverly Glascock writes, "In selecting from among the more than 70 works that were submitted for this exhibition, my primary goal was to show the incredible variety of mediums and styles that were submitted. I took several elements and factors into consideration in trying to reach this goal. Craftsmanship, skill, technique, form and composition, color and contrast, and the power of the idea were all considered while making my selections for the show… The selected entries are the ones that I felt succeeded the most in showing the incredible range of innovation that exists in fiber and textile art today. They include examples of hand and machine embroidery; beading; netting; dyeing and screen-printing; mixed collage and assemblage. Extending the technical and material scope even further are works in handmade and cast paper, and the incorporation of clay and porcelain into traditional processes. Many of the works are mixed media that inventively combine different materials and techniques. Some are planar, others are multidimensional, some are wearable, and some are sculptural."

Q: Using patterns in REPLACE I need to find and replace an expression within a dynamic query. I have a subset of a where condition in string type like
'fieldA=23 OR field_1=300 OR fieldB=4'

What I need is to find a way to detect expression field_1=300 within the string and replace it while retaining the expression field_1=300.
I can do the detection part using CHARINDEX or PATINDEX but I'm not able to figure out how to use the patterns in the REPLACE function and how to get the value of the field_1 parameter.
Thanks in advance.

A: I'm not entirely clear on what you're trying to acheieve (e.g. what are you wanting to replace "field_1=300" with, and is it the exact string "field_1=300" that you're looking for, or just the field name, i.e. "field_1"?).
Also, could you paste in the code you've written so far?
Here's a simple script which will extract the current value of a given field name:
DECLARE @str VARCHAR(100),
        @str_tmp VARCHAR(100),
        @field_pattern VARCHAR(10),
        @field_val INT;

SET @str = 'fieldA=23 OR field_1=300 OR fieldB=4';
SET @field_pattern = 'field_1='

-- This part will extract the current value assigned to the "@field_pattern" field
IF CHARINDEX(@field_pattern, @str) > 0
BEGIN
    SELECT @str_tmp = SUBSTRING(@str,
                        CHARINDEX(@field_pattern, @str) + LEN(@field_pattern),
                        LEN(@str)
                        );

    SELECT @field_val = CAST(SUBSTRING(@str_tmp, 1, CHARINDEX(' ', @str_tmp)-1) AS INT);
END

PRINT @field_val

If you want to replace the value itself (e.g. replacing "300" in this case with "600"), then you could add something like this:
DECLARE @new_val INT;
SET @new_val = 600;
SET @str = REPLACE(@str, (@field_pattern+CAST(@field_val AS VARCHAR)), (@field_pattern+CAST(@new_val AS VARCHAR)));
PRINT @str;

Which would give you "fieldA=23 OR field_1=600 OR fieldB=4".
Cheers,
Dave

celebrationpackages.com blog: Crazy Excited About A New Announcement!!!
OK everyone. I've got an amazing, crazy announcement that's been rumbling around in my head. In fact, it's almost 2am right now and I can't fall asleep because I can't stop thinking about it!! Let's just say that it's gonna be super exciting and I'm still putting the details together and when I'll be let you all know.
So stay tuned for my big announcement...!


AN EVENING WITH STEVE AT DB BISTRO MODERNE: After receiving an honorary degree at the University of Victoria, Steve and crew Helijet'd over to the Mainland in time for dinner, and what a dinner it was: 60 friends of the Foundation joined Steve and db Bistro Moderne owners Manjy and David Sidoo for an intimate four-course meal cooked by restaurateur extraordinaire Daniel Boulud, on hand in Kitsilano with Lumiere's own Chef Stephane Istel. With cocktails by Bombay Sapphire and Ketel One, and wine pairings by Mission Hill, the dinner flowed like the conversation as new friendships were forged and plans to assist children throughout the province were formed. Canucks owner Paolo Aquilini presented Steve with a prized #13 Canucks jersey, and David and Steve took the floor to auction off a trip to see Steve play in Phoenix — a weekend that will net a big win for children through the Foundation's BC Grants initiative.
SHOWDOWN IN DOWNTOWN: Another cloudy day! But in contrast to the Showdown in Chinatown, the day of the Showdown in Downtown ended up bright and sunny, with thousands of spectators shielding their eyes against the backdrop of David Lam's spectacular views. The free-to-the-public community event drew a packed crowd, with fans crushing into the perimeter fencing to get a peek. After enjoying our sponsors' and local non-profits' activations at the Street Festival, Steve, Baron Davis, Hasheem Thabeet, Rick and Randy Celebrini, Martin Nash, Youri Djorkaeff, Jay Nolly, and more took the field on Team Coast Capital Savings, and faced off against a talented Whitecaps Residency squad for Team BC Hydro Powersmart that included Nizar Khalfan, Randy Bonsu, Nadir Hourab, Simon Thomas, Russell Tiebert, Kevin Cobby, and Jack Cubbon. Referee Jill Proctor kept the game rolling, with Camp Goodtimes kids, the Nike Freestylers, and Kunaka keeping the crowd roaring. The unofficial result, as Steve concurs, was roughly "double the age for double the score" with Steve's "elderly" footballers trumping the young athletes. AfterParty: What's a Showdown without an AfterParty? Pop Opera graciously hosted the Showdown players at a fundraising evening to benefit the Foundation's local initiatives. With a silent auction and Steve and the SCORE's Cabbie taking the stage to auction prized live items, the AfterParty wrapped up the Showdown weekend with a loud pulse to energize the community — thank you, Vancouver!

The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/2007/09/13/running-back-unit-aims-for-impact-season-in-2007/)
Running Back Unit Aims for Impact Season in 2007
By Harrison D. Sanford | September 13, 2007
While the emphasis this year seems to be on junior quarterback Nathan Ford and a talented wide receiving group, any follower of Red football knows that the tailback will never be forgotten. Especially when you figure feature running back senior Luke Siwula is still in the fold.
Siwula, a two-time All-Ivy selection, enters the campaign 22 yards shy of the 2,000 career mark. Last season, Siwula piled up 885 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. In addition, Siwula caught 11 passes for a total of 141 yards — resulting in two touchdowns.
And while you can expect Siwula to remain an important cog in the Red's attack, do not be too surprised to see him play somewhat of a different role.
"You will see the running back more involved in the passing game," said head coach Jim Knowles '87. "It is a part of our philosophy to move the ball through the air."
In addition to Siwula, you can expect to see junior Shane Kilcoyne and sophomore Randy Barbour run the ball as well.
Last year, Kilcoyne often lined up together with Siwula in a dual-tailback attack that often was successful for the Red. In 2006, Kilcoyne averaged 5.0 yards per carry, totaling 350 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Additionally, Kilcoyne finished his sophomore campaign with six catches for 22 yards.
Interestingly enough, the San Diego native is actually slated to see more action at the wide receiver position.
"Kilcoyne was a running back for us last year and played some slot," Knowles said. "But he's going to be more of a wide receiver so you are throwing in more skill there."
With Kilcoyne expected to line-up in the slot much more than the past, do not be surprised by the emergence of sophomore running back Randy Barbour.
Barbour, a 5-9, 195 pound explosive back from Huntsville, Ala., flourished last year on the junior varsity squad and has taken snaps with the first team this year.
Traditionally, the Red would have to ram the ball through the line despite the fact that many teams would overload the box knowing the Red would not challenge the secondary down the field. With a new emphasis on spreading the field and hitting one of the many capable wide receivers, there is even more opportunity for the running backs to explode for bigger plays.
"We are going to spread the field as much as possible to create running lanes," Knowles said.
Around the Ivies: Football
By Eric Haskel October 2, 2007
Coming off a crushing defeat to Yale last week, the Cornell football team rebounded on Saturday to beat Georgetown 45-7 on the road, the third straight victory over a Patriot League rival.
Cornell 45, Georgetown 7
The Red offense, spearheaded by a solid rushing game (252 total rushing yards), put up seven touchdowns — three of which came courtesy of senior running back Luke Siwula. Siwula finished the game with 93 yards, bumping him up to fifth place on the school's all-time rushing list. Quarterback Nathan Ford 24-for-33 also produced solid numbers, passing for 201 yards and finding 12 different receivers on the field (including an 11-yard touchdown reception to sophomore wideout Nick Zerante). Cornell's damper on Georgetown's homecoming places the Red at 2-1.
Volleyball Visits D.C. for Invitational
By Meredith Bennett-Smith September 14, 2007
Last weekend, the volleyball team showed promise, but its 2-2 record also revealed plenty of things to work on. This weekend, the team will have the opportunity to showcase any improvements it hasmade in practice, as it competes against its Patriot League rivals in the American Tournament, in the capital city.
The team will be traveling to D.C. by bus, something that can be a little exhausting for the players.
"Traveling is always kind of taxing," said senior captain Amy Gordon. "It can end up feeling like a really long weekend. But, it's also really fun for us, it's a great time to bond."
Gordon said that she loves traveling, and always would look forward to it as an underclassman.
"It was just our time," she said, "with no distractions."

Windhorst: Lakers' Talen Horton-Tucker could attract poison-pill offer
February 8, 2021 2:53 pm ET
Among the most exciting stories of the Los Angeles Lakers season so far has been the emergence of second-year guard Talen Horton-Tucker. Horton-Tucker, known to Lakers fans as THT, has gone from resident G Leaguer with the South Bay Lakers to a mainstay in the Lakers' regular rotation over the past few weeks. Horton-Tucker just turned 20 and LeBron James has already gone on the record saying he believes he will be special, but there is one issue for the Lakers on the horizon: He will be a restricted free agent this summer.
With the way THT has played this season, his ability is no longer a secret, and he will have no shortage of suitors, who also have creative ways to make matching the contract a much more difficult proposition for the Lakers. According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst during the latest episode of The Hoop Collective, a point of league speculation is another team could offer Horton-Tucker a poison-pill contract that forces the Lakers to not match.
A poison pill, like the one the Brooklyn Nets offered to Tyler Johnson in 2016, would be backloaded to have a bigger salary in the final years of the deal while having a smaller salary in the first few. This would make it more difficult for the Lakers to match because it would tie up their cap sheet in the future seasons.

STS-114 är ett uppdrag i Nasas rymdfärjeprogram. Rymdfärjan Discovery lyfte från startplatta 39B på Kennedy Space Center 26 juli 2005 och var den första rymdfärja att lyfta efter Columbias tragiska haveri 1 februari 2003 (se STS-107).. Flygningen gick till Internationella rymdstationen, ISS.

Flygningens mål var att leverera utrustning och förnödenheter till rymdstationen, detta gjorde man med hjälp av modulen Raffaello som under några dagar var dockad med den amerikanska modulen Unity.

Besättning
Eileen M. Collins, (4) befälhavare.
James M. Kelly, (2) pilot (ofta kallad "Vegas" över radio)
Soichi Noguchi, (1) uppdragsspecialist 1 (JAXA)
Stephen K. Robinson, (3) uppdragsspecialist 2
Andy Thomas, (4) uppdragsspecialist 3
Wendy B. Lawrence, (4) uppdragsspecialist 4
Charles J. Camarda, (1) uppdragsspecialist 5

Väckningar
Under Geminiprogrammet började NASA spela musik för besättningar och sedan Apollo 15 har man varje "morgon" väckt besättningen med ett särskilt musikstycke, särskilt utvalt antingen för en enskild astronaut eller för de förhållanden som råder.

Well, that's gonna itch tomorrow.
Jon, an online find, treated our first date like a game of 20 questions, complete with well-thought-out, conversation-starting brain teasers that he'd clearly memorized many dates ago. What he hadn't practiced, however, was how to seamlessly slip them into conversation. As soon as there was the slightest lull, he'd hit me with, What were you like as a kid? Or what's the strangest thing in your refrigerator?
I tried to help him out, answering each question in turn and sending them right back at him. Unfortunately, his answers were as well-rehearsed as his questions, and they didn't leave room for interruption. For example, I asked him his own question, How do you spend the first couple hours after work? He described a new exercise regimen he had developed for himself. When I asked him a follow-up question about his workouts, he looked confused; He hadn't finished his spiel! "Well wait," he said. "I also like to read." Thank goodness he told me.
After two drinks, I was ready to call it a night, and I thought Jon was too, but his little play wasn't over. After we got the check, he said, "I'd really like to walk with you to Bryant Park." I hesitated, wanting to opt out, but he was a sweet kid and it was a beautiful night, so I said OK. After all, he seemed like he knew of something cool going on there, so it would probably be worth it. What I hadn't really thought of was that we were a good 15 blocks from Bryant, and I was wearing my highest first-date heels.
By the time we got to Bryant, my feet were torn up, but I put on a smile and suggested we sit at one of the public tables. Jon disagreed: "No, let's sit in the grass!" So in the grass we sat. There was clearly nothing going on, and the park was actually clearing out. I'm a mosquito magnet regardless, but on this humid summer night, I could actually see the little bugs chomping on my legs. Still, in the grass we sat, as Jon went on and on about his pizza diet. That's when the sprinklers came on.
He seemed utterly dejected as we walked back east. But at every street corner, he'd hopefully (and uncomfortably) place his hand on my lower back. I tried to make it clear that I wasn't thrilled by physical contact, inching away and keeping my arms crossed. All I wanted to do was get out of these shoes and damp clothes and get some calamine on my burning bug bites. As we reached the point where we'd part ways, I turned to him to say "It was nice to meet you." I only got out "It was nice…" before he planted an awkward peck on my lips. I guess I should've seen that coming. Picking up on social cues just wasn't one of Jon's after-work activities.
I like dating women who are mosquito magnets, it keeps them away from me.


MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (September 27, 2017) – As homeowners in Texas and Florida braced for recent hurricanes Harvey and Irma, Briggs & Stratton Corporation increased customer support efforts to ensure outdoor power equipment owners were prepared before, during and after the storms.
As the world's largest manufacturer of gasoline-powered engines for outdoor power equipment, and a leading supplier of portable and standby generators, Briggs & Stratton understands the need to ensure the safe and reliable operation of outdoor power equipment in storm situations like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Over the last several years, Briggs & Stratton has donated nearly $1 million of generators and pressure washers to 183 American Red Cross chapters in disaster-prone locations nationwide, like Texas, Louisiana and Florida. The Red Cross stores this equipment in distribution centers so it can be easily deployed as natural disasters occur, allowing these products to be some of the first on scene before and after disaster strikes.
For customers who chose instead to call, Briggs & Stratton increased their Answer Center workforce by more than 20 percent. "Sometimes people just want to hear a voice so they can feel reassured they are following the right measures to prepare their generators in a storm situation," Carpenter said.
And for those folks who need help after the waters recede, they can turn to a robust network of dealers. Briggs & Stratton has more than 15,000 dealers in the U.S., all served by Power Distributors, the single national distributor of Briggs & Stratton® engines, parts and whole goods for dealers and select retailers. As part of its commitment to servicing the dealer network, Power Distributors reached out to more than 1,000 dealers in the storm-affected areas to ensure they weathered the storm, and to provide assistance dealers needed to take care of their customers.
With almost 110 years of expertise in delivering outdoor power equipment solutions, Briggs & Stratton provides the highest level of customer support to those in need during a storm.
Briggs & Stratton reminds everyone to use portable generators safely. Portable generator users should never operate a portable generator indoors, in a garage or in any other enclosed structure, or near open windows. If portable generator users experience dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea or irregular breathing, Briggs & Stratton advises users to turn off the portable generator, get fresh air and seek medical attention immediately. As a member of the Portable Generator Manufacturers' Association, Briggs & Stratton invites homeowners to visit www.TakeYourGeneratorOutside.com to learn more about portable generator safety.
For additional information on selecting, using or maintaining portable generators, pressure washers or standby generators, please visit www.briggsandstratton.com.

Hitchhiking on the Information Superhighway
Is It Real
March 8, 2010 March 27, 2010 christophernorthjr
Education (Center)
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tiffany_Education_(center).JPG
There was an article in the Guardian a few weeks ago about hoaxes, "The greatest literary hoax ever?". The article talks about how the writer William Boyd got together with a number of influential friends to invent and promote an artist who never existed. Before they were done, they were exhibiting this artist's paintings and getting well known, and not so well known people, to talk about how they knew and admired this artist. Before he could bring the hoax to its planned conclusion a co-conspirator let the secret slip out. It makes for an interesting story and illustrates the gullibility of people. The song is about placing values on things, and recognizing the best and being willing to make certain investments (all the tea in China, for example) to demonstrate this value.
The picture is of one of three stained-glass panels done by Louis Comfort Tiffany celebrating education. If we are well educated we are perhaps less likely to be caught in a fabrication and more able to access the accurate and true values of things. But maybe not. Boyd's crowd of art admirers included well educated people who ought to have known better. Perhaps this was what the hoax was playing off of. If these people expected to be taken seriously as knowledgeable appreciators of art they must not let it be supposed there are influential artists of whom they were unaware. Perhaps the first thing the truly knowledgeable learn is that they do not know everything and that there is nothing wrong with not knowing everything.
Of course the story that Boyd invented was a good story and perhaps what truly lay at the heart of the deception was a human desire to be a part of a truly good story, even if that means inventing a personal history that is different from one's true history. Or maybe the story was so good it suggested artists from these people's past whose names they had forgotten but whose work they held onto. Maybe the works they shared were done by a corps of unknown artists that met early and tragic ends. Maybe the invented story was the story of many unknown and unappreciated artists that gave into despair. In the stained glass panel celebrating education at the top of the page the two disciplines represented are "science" and "religion," two disciplines that often interpret the truths they encounter by different lights and maybe both offer a truth that resonates even if at times they conflict. Each often accuses the other of perpetrating hoaxes and each answers these accusations rationally according to their separate understandings. As one dubious judge once remarked "What is truth?" Perhaps all truth begins with faith in something and it is on that something that all that follows rests.
Illustrations from Old French Fairy Tales
Virginia Sterrett
http://www.subtlebody-images.com/virginia.sterrett/vs.fairy.tales.html
As an English teacher I think stories teach basic truths about the world humans inhabit. These stories are fiction and it would seem by definition are not true. It is something of a paradox, perhaps, that something that is fabricated, like a story, can illuminate so much and give such insight. The illustration above was done to illustrate a fairy tale. Fairy tales introduced most of us to the world as it is, a world of "evil stepmothers" that cannot be trusted and "fairy godmothers" that can. Yet there is in this something of a life lesson, many that should be trusted cannot be, and many that should be doubted can be trusted. Much of life revolves around sorting out these kinds of problems.
There was an article last week, "Mind your language," also in the Guardian about language and how we use it. The specific word in question was the word "skeptic" and what that word literally means. According to the article a true skeptic is a seeker after truth and questions everything in order to discover what is true. Yet the word is being applied to those that question nothing their own ideology teaches and doubt everything that challenges that ideology, often without doing very much to sort out which is in fact true. In other words the very opposite of a skeptic in that they accept one body of knowledge without question and challenge any contradictory body of knowledge without examination.
István Orosz
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cornerhousey.jpg
The illustrations above and below are interesting in this regard in the way they play with perspective. The one above is of a corner of a house. But is it an outer corner or an inner corner, does it open on a courtyard or a sidewalk. As I look at it the perspective changes, one minute it is turning a corner and the next it is at the back of a corner, one minute one window is invisible to the other, the next it is facing the other. Which is true? Of course, in this picture anyway, they are both true, it all depends on how we look. Is this a work of art or geometric gamesmanship? It is hard to say, but it is kind of fun to look at.
The picture below is of two roads, or bridges really, that cross a body of water but at some point beyond where the two cross each disappears into its reflection in the water. The pictures are Escher-esque in the way they play with perspective, but they offer a kind of pleasure in the way they play with how the eye focuses and sees. Stories often teach us that life is about maintaining our perspective on things, about seeing things correctly, even though life often presents itself in a confusing and incomprehensible manner. Is the nice lady in the gingerbread house inviting us for dinner or "having" us for dinner? The answer to this question, whether it is literal or metaphoric, often determines whether the day's events have a happy or unhappy conclusion and as with the pictures, appearances can be deceiving.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Keresztut.jpg
A good story often challenges our way of viewing the world and in so doing reminds us we have to be careful in our judgments and not lean to heavily on our own understanding. It is not always easy to tell where the line falls between being gullible and being open minded, between being generous in our treatment of others and being foolish. Stories do not always help us resolve these problems but good stories make us aware of these problems and the need to resolve them while being true to our character and values. The most dangerous people in the world are those that understand us and what we believe and know how to exploit those beliefs and in the process exploit us. Stories cannot solve these problems perhaps, each situation must be addressed by its own merits, but they can make us wary and wise in our approach to circumstances and events.
The Dot and the Line
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
I like this little story because it addresses the romantic and the realist in all of us. Both the dot and the line are vulnerable to their romantic inclinations and these inclinations lead them to make unwise choices. Fortunately for them, and unfortunately for the squiggle perhaps, the story has a happy ending and both the dot and the line are able to experience romance realistically, though I am not sure that means of their deliverance is itself realistic. But we understand when the story ends that the dot and the line are "right" for each other.
Is this story true to life, do things often resolve themselves so neatly? Probably not. The value of the story lies in its pointing out the blindness that romance can bring and hopefully put us on our guard against it. But than other stories, Great Expectations, perhaps, suggest that even when we realize that our emotions and romantic attractions are leading us astray we are powerless when it comes to resisting them. We often find out the hard way, through pain and disappointment, that our affections are not always reciprocated and that those we have never harmed will seek to harm us.
Screenshot from the film Metropolis (1927)
Karl Freund, Günther Rittau, Walter Ruttmann (cinematograpers)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Metropolis-new-tower-of-babel.png
Anyone who knows Breughel's painting of The Tower of Babel will recognize it in this landscape from the film Metropolis. This knowledge should shape the way we view this cinematic landscape and the story this film is going to tell before the film begins to tell it. The story of Babel ends in tragedy and it is about human arrogance and presumption. The film addresses another kind of human presumption and arrogance, one that has more to do with exploitation of others than of usurping the powers of God, though there is a bit of this as well. But allusion is one way stories tell stories without actually telling the story, they prepare us for what is coming and help create a frame of mind in the reader (or in this case the viewer) that attunes itself to what appears to be coming. We see this picture and knowing its origins we know that what follows will be tragic, or with a different set of cultural signals, comic. The film The Music Box with Laurel and Hardy is, at least in part, a comic retelling of the Myth of Sisyphus. We catch on to how the film plays with the myth early on but because it is a Laurel and Hardy film, we expect a comic and not tragic retelling of the tale.
Poster for the 1911 Ballet Russe season showing Nijinsky in costume for "Le Spectre de la Rose", Paris.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nijinsky_-_Poster.jpg
Nijinsky was an influential Russian dancer and the ballet Russe an influential dance company. The ballet is The Spirit of the Rose. I know nothing about the ballet, but the name is suggestive. "A rose by any other name" and The Name of the Rose are just a few of the literary associations of the rose. It represents beauty and a kind of excellence. Another odd bit of serendipity in this poster is the artist that painted it, Jean Cocteau. He would go on to become a 20th century pioneer of the French cinema. He told powerful film stories. One of his best known films was Beauty and the Beast, not the Disney version by any means, but still a forceful retelling of the original fairy tale, which kind of brings us back to where we started, or near to it. Fairy tales do not just prepare children for the cruel world they may face as adults, but they often remind adults of the darker side of the world they have grown into.
Cocteau's film was not made for children, though its characters, themes, and settings come from a very well known and beloved children's story. The story he tells is very dark, but at the same time childlike. There was also this week an obituary for the last Yiddish poet, Abraham Sutzkever. One thing he said that is true of stories and storytellers was "If you carry your childhood with you, you never age." As children the stories we read help us age wisely, as adults these same stories help us to age gracefully, preserving in us what is best of youth and maturity.

Clearview Library District asking voters again for mill levy increase on 2018 ballot

The Clearview Library District is again asking voters for a mill levy increase to build a new library on the east side of Windsor.
Ballot Issue 6C
Ballot Issue 6C wouldBallot Issue 6C would cost residents of the district $5.43 a month with a $350,000 residential property, and would continue at 2.585 mills for a 25-year period, after which it would be reduced to .6 mills.
Last November, voters shot down the ballot issue 54.67 percent to 45.33 percent.
This year's Ballot Issue 6C would cost residents of the district $5.43 a month with a $350,000 residential property, according to the district.
The new library would cost $23 million, and would be built at Greenspire Drive and East Main Street in Windsor.
A children's area is displayed in this rendering of a proposed new Clearview Library District library designed by Barker, Rinker, Seacat Architecture. (For The Tribune)
Growth has been rapid in Windsor, Severance and the parts of west Greeley that are in the Clearview Library District's boundary, and is at the center of arguments for and against passing the ballot measure.
Proponents of the library argue growth in the community has led to the current building being over capacity, while opponents argue the library isn't a priority when looking at Windsor's future growth needs.
Kendra Adams, an organizer with the Windsor and Severance Families Against 6C Tax issue committee, said opponents to the mill levy increase do not feel a new library is a priority, and would rather not approve more tax dollars in anticipation the community will ask for money for a new school, public safety needs and water infrastructure improvements in the future.
Proponents, with the Let's Grow Together issue committee, say libraries should be included in that list of priorities. Jim and Allie Campbell said it's essential to the community to provide access for children to speakers, library books, multimedia and clubs. It's new location, they said, would also be more central to the communities the library district serves.

Volkswagen Passat Sedan Production For Europe Has Ended
Volkswagen has hammered the final nail on the coffin of the Passat sedan. According to a report by Autocar, the German marque has ended the production of the four-door sedan in Europe. The reasons for this decision include the stronger sales of the Passat estate and the arrival of the similarly positioned Arteon.
News of VW killing the Passat sedan in Europe has been out since 2020. It's expected to bow out in 2023, but it seems like the automaker has pulled up the timeline. VW has announced the end of the Passat in the US as well, with the 2022 Passat Limited Edition marking the end of production on American shores.
The current B8-generation Passat is due for a major revamp in 2023. The ninth-generation model will be built atop an updated MQB platform. With this latest development, the ninth iteration will be solely available as a long-roof model when it arrives in the Old Continent.
Of note, the VW Passat has been available as a sedan and a wagon ever since the Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed original model was launched in the '70s.
We checked various customer-facing VW European websites and we can confirm that the Passat saloon is not being offered as of date.

Q: How can I dynamically create a class based off ActiveRecord at runtime? (Ruby) I'm experimenting with meta programming and want to dynamically create a class that inherits from ActiveRecord.
For example, I can do this:
Object.const_set("Orders", Class.new { def blah() 42 end })

So now I can:
o = Orders.new
o.blah   #<== 42

But when I try to:
Object.const_set("Orders", Class.new < ActiveRecord::Base { def blah() 42 end })

Gives me a syntax error and
Object.const_set("Orders", Class.new { def blah() 42 end } < ActiveRecord::Base)

Doesn't complain until I try to instantiate an Orders class
Any tips?
Thanks.

A: Try to do this:
SomeClass = Class.new(ActiveRecord::Base) do
  .... #some behaviour
end

I have no clue which table hibernate is talking about. is there any way of getting to know of it? also do i need to add anything special to get it to work? mind you my datastructure was working for 4.0.1.
any help would be really appreciated.
update: i have turned on debug for hibernate, and i am wondering how to find out which class is causing the trouble. is there any way to know which class its coming from? just to remind you, the error is from pre loading queries which hibernate does before starting the server.
thanks in advance

A: I have figured out the scenario in which this happens finally and will be filing a bug report with hibernate soon and will link it here when I do.  If you have an entities using the Inheritance strategy of JOINED and you reference the parent entity as a collection in another entity and add an order by to the collection, the error the OP posted is thrown.
For example:
@Entity
@Table(name = "Joined_Parent")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class JoinedParent
{
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    @Column(name = "id")
    private Integer id;

    @ManyToOne(cascade = {CascadeType.ALL})
    @JoinColumn(name = "other_entity_id", nullable = false)
    private OtherEntity otherEntity;
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "Joined_Child")
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "id")
public class JoinedChild
    extends JoinedParent
{
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "Other_Entity")
public class OtherEntity
{
    @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "otherEntity", orphanRemoval = true)
    @OrderBy("id ASC") // <-- this causes the error
    private List<JoinedParent> items = new ArrayList<JoinedParent>();
}

I am not sure if this only happens if you reference the parent as a collection or if it happens with the child entity as well.  I'm also not sure if having the relationship bi-directional has anything to do with it either.  I have submitted a bug report here https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7630

Only a massive state intervention can prevent a deep recession
Dr Tom McDonnell and Paul Mac Flynn NERI
In the past week it is estimated that up to 140,000 jobs have been lost across the Republic of Ireland economy owing to the strict control measures put in place to tackle the Covid-19 outbreak. The total is expected to reach over 350,000 in the next few weeks. In Northern Ireland, despite less stringent measures, an estimated 10,000 jobs in the hospitality sector are expected to be lost already. To put this in context, over the course of the financial crisis from 2008 to 2012, the Republic of Ireland lost 350,000 jobs while Northern Ireland lost just over 40,000. While it is hoped that the vast majority of these losses will be temporary, the long term impact of this crisis will very much depend on the actions we take now.
The covid-19 crisis is causing an economy-wide crisis that will require billions in emergency support from government. The immediate economic priority should be to prevent large scale job losses and a destruction of the economy's productive capacity. Achieving this goal will necessitate large-scale supports for small businesses and manufacturers to cover their wages and maintenance costs for the periods when they are shut down due to Covid-19.
Representatives of employers, employees and government should come together to work out the appropriate firm and sector specific details. There will be firms for whom activity has slowed dramatically and there will be firms for whom activity has simply evaporated. For firms experiencing depressed demand, the Irish and UK governments should immediately introduce short-time work schemes to preserve jobs and skills within firms that can continue to operate but at reduced levels. Such a scheme would allow for reduction of working hours while supporting the income of the workers. These schemes proved effective in Germany and other countries during the 2008 crisis. For firms who face closure, direct government grants of sufficient scale and a postponement of tax obligations should be available to all such businesses that commit to decent work and to retaining their workforce.
Zero interest loans should be made available to tide businesses and households with cash flow problems through the next few difficult months. The ECB should open the taps across the Euro area by selling Eurobonds equivalent to 15% of the Euro area's GDP and then allocating the funds on a proportional basis to Euro area governments as a once-off grant. This would of course require emergency legislation as the ECB would become, in effect, the lender of last resort. Euro area governments could use these funds to provide liquidity support for households and firms across the Euro area. If the ECB fail to act, then the Irish government should borrow the money directly. Borrowing costs are currently close to zero and the announcement by the ECD of a €750bn bond buying programme should keep them there. For Northern Ireland, the UK government have indicated their willingness to extend of borrowing to firms of up to £330bn (15% of UK GDP), though precise details of such schemes remain painfully vague. Northern Ireland also needs greater clarity on the scale of supports it will be able to make available to firms rather than relying on the drip-feed of measures adopted by the UK government.
When we move past the emergency phase of the crisis and where businesses and households can show permanent loss of income due to Covid-19 related shutdowns then the debts owed to their respective governments should be cancelled. This would help deal with certain payments such as mortgage, rent, utility and insurance without causing knock-on problems for other householders and businesses that would arise from postponements or cancellations of these payments.
Across Europe there have been varied policy responses to deal with this crisis. In Denmark, the government and employers agreed to 75-25 split in wage support for employees in impacted sectors. In France, the suspension of rental payments will significantly ease the burden on household incomes. However, almost all policy responses to date, have emphasised the need to retain the connection between employers and employees. We have the potential to make a rapid recovery from this crisis, but it is dependent on keeping as much of our economic infrastructure in place as possible.
We also have to acknowledge that while Covid-19 poses an unprecedented risk to life on the island of Ireland, the economic impact of this virus has the capacity to be fatal too. The speed and scale of the crisis that we are experiencing means that it will be very easy for a large section of our population to fall through the cracks of our welfare state and experience sudden and sustained poverty. If we move quickly and prevent this from happening, we not only prevent the immediate hardship, we also prevent a short-term recession from becoming long term depression.


It's hard not to believe you can make a ton of money off of YouTube. In this day and age, more and more people are becoming YouTubers and YouTube famous. You see people like PewDiePie, Belinda Selene, Studyng, Paris & Roxy, etc. and based on their content it seems like they make thousands every single month. In PewDiePie's case a few hundred thousand or millions. The stigma around how much money YouTubers really make seems to only get worse and more confusing as time goes on.
Take it from someone who JUST made their first $100 on YouTube.
I've been doing YouTube for my planning hobby (and hopefully soon for this blog too! Stay tuned for that.) Since 2015, but it wasn't until 2016 that I really started to take it seriously. 2016 is when I really consider me starting out, so really it's only been about a year. However, it took me that entire year to finally make my first $100.
I do; however, give myself some credit for doing it UNDER 1,000 subs, but the main point is that it was challenging work. I'm here to tell you the ugly truth about making money on YouTube.
Of course, I haven't been around nearly as long as some of these other YouTubers, but the fact of the matter is people like PewDiePie are a very rare case when it comes to making money on YouTube. He's seriously the upper 1% of YouTube, and in fact I think he was just named the number one highest paid YouTuber not too long ago. Unfortunately, people like him have set the bar for other YouTubers, and it has become this expectancy that all YouTubers or at least most of them make a crap ton of money.
Even more unfortunately, that isn't the case most often.
We are going to use Roxy and Paris as an example. These girls are my favorite and I've been watching them for a while. I follow Roxy on basically everything. Since YouTube pay is an estimated public record, I went ahead and looked up their average annual pay for the sake of this post. As of 2017 their estimated annual pay is anywhere from $760- $12,000. That's a pretty large gap, but it goes off of previous years income and the lowest and highest possibility of pay. On this day, they have 186,657 subscribers and have been on YouTube since 2012. Assuming they made their highest pay amount of 12,000, that's only about $1,000 a month. Which is good for just doing YouTube, but won't really allow you to survive on your own.
Belinda Selene which is a more well known YouTuber has about 477,000 subscribers on this day. The average annual income of Belinda Selene's channel is anywhere from $1.3k- $20.6k. When breaking it down 20k a year is the equivalent to the income of a full time minimum wage job.
To set the record straight, this is by no means meant to scare anyone or bash anyone's income. Heck I just recently made my first $100. Instead these are examples to show you how tough it is! I looked up my stats and my estimated yearly earnings is $15-$246 at the rate at which I'm currently going. If I were to gain more views, subs, etc. This number could change.
How Does YouTube Pay Work?
When starting off YouTube has something called Google AdSense. Basically, Google AdSense is the way you monetize your videos. Companies will place an Ad in front of your video, and whenever someone watches or interacts with the ad it means money for you. However, that amount can vary. Sometimes it's 3 cents, sometimes its 10 cents. I'm sure for other people it can be higher than that too.
The average ratio for AdSense pay is for every 1,000 views, you make $1. A whooping 4 quarters. Enough to do a load of laundry. If you are getting paid via check, you must make $100 before YouTube even sends you a check. This means you could be stuck at $99 for 5 months and they won't send you a check until you hit $100.
If you are lucky enough to be partnered, then they will usually send you your monthly earnings no matter what it is every month. This could vary based on different partnerships, but I can't be 100% for sure since that would be in the contract.
In other words, if you got 1,000 views on every single video you have, then in theory you would be able to make $100 in about 4 months if you uploaded every single day and always got 1,000 views. Since an uploading schedule like that isn't very likely, you would either have to bring in more views, or wait a longer period of time.
So how exactly can I bring in more views?
People are always looking for your other social channels if they really like your work. You should make sure you are on places like Instagram, Pinterest, and maybe even Facebook. Not only will it give your audience a second place to go, but you can find your audience on these platforms as well. Social media is the easiest free way to advertise and market your videos to the world. So, take advantage of it.
This is what is going to get you found organically through YouTube. Having a strong title that people are searching is step one. When you are making your title, think about what you would be searching for. You also want to make sure you put key words from your title into the tags. If your video is called "Pinterest tips for bloggers", then you'll want to put "pinterest" "tips" and "bloggers" into the tags. You'll also want to mention these words in your description for extra SEO points.
Your thumbnail is the first thing they are going to see besides the title. You want it to be something eye catching. Create a collage or an intriguing image related to your topic. Don't do what I do sometimes and just totally ignore the thumbnail. It's a really important part of the process most people leave out.
I hope this post put YouTube into perspective for you. Like I said this isn't to deter you from starting your channel or from trying to make money on YouTube. I'm just here to let you know how hard it actually is and to tell you that you'll need to work hard.
