Zoo Minyan is not meeting for davenning Sat. Feb 26.
Sorry folks! Insufficient leyning turn-out for Zoo this shabbos, wouldn't be lichvod Torah. Apologies for the short notice / change of plans.
But feel free to stop by for some learning after davenning elsewhere (or after shaarei sheina / sleeping in, as is your custom).
We'll have some awesome texts on Hulda the prophetess's role at the Beit ha-Mikdash, on the difference between the Mishkan and the Beit ha-Mikdash, and we may even experiment with some (shabbos-friendly) mishkan-building of our own.
1:30pm at Deborah and Shalom's house, challah and light snacks provided, add a pot-luck contribution if you'd like.
P.S. We're considering some chasiddishe non-davenning events for Zoo Minyan. Write back to info@ZooMinyan.org if you want to get in on the plotting.
SPECIAL NOTE: Sat. Feb 12 is Erev Shira/ Evening of Song (folk singing and musical instruments) Come join us Sat. night - 6:30pm; Havdallah & then singing -with Instruments.
One interpretation is that we are the olive oil, and holiness is the flame. The eternal light, the blinding presence of the holy, is something that happens naturally – unbelievable as that seems, until we actually experience it. But it only happens when we've prepared for it. The purity of the olive oil takes a lot of work, as we're pounded through the mortar of life.
When we can step back from that necessary work, and enter into shabbos menuchah, then we are drawn up into the wick, and become part of that brilliant flame. Rami bar Hama says, that process happens by ourselves, not through another: by virtue of where we are (the Mikdash, or whatever holy spaces we create), when we are most ourselves (shabbos, of course), and especially, who we are – or who we've made ourselves to be.
May your mortar yield sediment-free oil this week, and may you be drawn up into the wick of the Ner Tamid this shabbos, and every shabbos – including the next Zoo Minyan, on February 26th.
We'll be gathering for davenning, lunch, shmoozing, singing, etc., Sat. Feb 26 in Woodley Park (within walking distance of the Zoo, as is Zoo Minyan custom) at Deborah & Shalom's house.
Want to volunteer to lead something for davenning, or add something to enrich our kavannah (we call them davenning treats, i.e. creative tidbits, not actual food ;) Schlep a sefer torah, or bring some Zoo Minyan veggies? Write back to info@ZooMinyan.org.
For Leyning there are aliyot available (please sign up if you can!)...use self-service leyning spreadsheet, or email leyning@ZooMinyan.org.
To lead, Leyn, offer a Davenning Treat, or bring Zoo Minyan veggies, contact us.

What's Happening? #16
General	#MADKID, AXCEL, axceluniverse, RISE, shieldhero
To all my fellow American Axcels out there, Happy belated Thanksgiving!
To all my fellow Axcels around the world, Happy Holidays! Whether you're celebrating Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hannukah, or not celebrating anything at all, please enjoy the rest of 2018 as we are nearing to a close.
But, AXCEL STYLE has been quiet. That's because MADKID has been quiet and also, I have been busy myself seeking for a new job and taking code/dev bootcamp preps and enrolling in coding bootcamp programs. But the primary reason was that MADKID had been quiet most of November.
Still, the silence was very well worth it, because we've got PLENTY of things going on that is to come when we kick off 2019. Just like their major debut back in January 2018, something awesome will be happening alongside the current events that we have today.
But first, a little bit of a throwback.
MAD MUSIC Special Edition Episodes1
As part of the One for All, All for One campaign, MAD MUSIC provided four special episodes starring all four members coming in pairs per episode. More info about the campaign here.
Throughout all four special episodes, the format is the same. The only difference is that there were different members and come in four combinations of pairs. At the beginning of the episode, the pair is presented with a letter from the leader on hiatus, YOU-TA, with a few instructions regarding the members' efforts of continuing MADKID's activities without him.
At the second half of the episode, the pair will play against each other in a Yamanote Match 2. Based on the points earned from the game, You-ta will reward the members with a lunch treat:
1st Place: Yakiniku Lunch
2nd Place: Gyudon Bowls & Starbucks
3rd & 4th Place (?): Bento Box Lunch 3
At the end of the special edition series, the results came out:
LIN – Yakiniku Lunch
SHIN & YUKI (tied for 2nd place) – Gyudon Bowls & Starbucks
KAZUKI – Bento Box Lunch
Congratulations to all four members!
Here are a few highlights I extracted from the MAD MUSIC archives, but do visit their archives channel to watch the replays:
MAD MUSIC Special Edition 3: KAZUKI reads YOU-TA's letter in English
Because Google Translate is everybody's best friend, YOU-TA decides to troll KAZUKI by writing his mission letter in (Google Translated) English and having him read it aloud. All the MADKID members, long-time Axcels, and those who know Kazuki well know that he has the worst English ability of the group. Will Kazuki succeed?
MAD MUSIC Special Edition 4: K-Pop Groups Yamanote Game
The two hardcore K-Pop fanboys of MADKID, SHIN and YUKI, square off with each other by listing out all their favorite K-Pop artists and groups.
Finally, we fast forward till today.
The return of YOU-TA
December 1st is the official date of YOU-TA's return from his month-long hiatus and resume his activities with MADKID. And as part of the celebration of his return, he will be having another MAD MUSIC special episode on his own to be aired on December 6 (Thursday) at 8:00 p.m JST. For those who haven't had a chance to meet him, whether in person or in real life, will finally have a chance to hang out with him, send him some comments, welcome him back from his month-long medical rest. We don't know exactly what You-ta has in store for us, so please, don't miss this!
KAZUKI Solo Covers Project 2: Mika Nakashima's "ORION"
KAZUKI continues to grace our ears with his soothing voice and the sweetest songs! Here, he covers Mika Nakashima's sweet hit, ORION.
3rd Major Single: "RISE"
I've only been a fan for about 8 months now, and when I first started, it was only two weeks until MADKID's fourth one-man live. During their live, they also made a huge announcement: the release of their second major single, Summer Time.
Somehow, when MADKID announced their one-man live concert tour this coming December, I also had a gut feeling that they will be having a new release. The only thing then was whether it would be a new single or a full-length album.
As of yesterday's AXCEL MEETING (7/25) and YOU-TA's monthly live, 4 They made their huge announcement prior to the upcoming GIANT KILLING live tour and YOU-TA's official return:
MADKID's third major single, RISE, will be released early 2019 on February 6, in CD format with 2 types as always, as well as the digital format that you can purchase and download from major audio streaming platforms such as iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify, and now Google Play Music.
The CD releases will come in two types: Type A and Type B. The differences are as follows.
TYPE A (CD + DVD):
出ていってよ 5
RISE (instrumental)
Puzzle (instrumental)
出ていってよ (instrumental)
TYPE A DVD:
4th One-Man Live "Never Going Back" (4/28/2018)
RISE music video
BTS (behind the screen) of the RISE music video
TYPE B (CD only):
出ていってよ
Unlike their previous major singles, RISE is a little bit more special. RISE was also chosen as the opening theme for the upcoming anime version of Aneko Yusagi's light novel/manga series, The Rising of the Shield Hero. 6 It may be an anime opening theme, but because anime and manga (as well as light novels) are immensely popular around the world, this will finally bring MADKID's recognition to the world through this opening theme. 7
"The Rising of the Shield Hero" English version vol. 1 light novel, Kindle edition
The light novel series was first published in Japan back in 2013. The English translation of the light novels was published and released in the U.S. back in 2015. Around that time, I was still in otaku storyteller/reader mode and purchased the first four volumes in Kindle format. I haven't been keeping in touch with the series itself, but as reported, the series is still ongoing.
Shield Hero is the story of a (video games) otaku college student named Naofumi Iwatani, who was magically transported in a fantasy world after stumbling upon a very old fantasy novel during his visit in the library. Stuck with three others, also transported from Japan, Naofumi must train himself to be a full-pledged chosen warrior, the Hero of the Shield, by forming parties, take up quests, and level himself from nothing to a powerful hero. It sounds like your typical fantasy MMORPG 8 at first, but that's exactly the type of world Naofumi ended up at.
There is also a manga version published after the light novels, but personally, I prefer reading light novels. I like to imagine things in my head as I read, and even though I haven't kept up for years now, I still recommend this to all avid readers of fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, and adventure. The light novels and manga (if you prefer) are available online at Amazon and online bookstores like Barnes & Noble and Kobo.
"RISE" Release Events Campaign
Just like with Never going back and Summer Time, MADKID will be launching a three-month long campaign starting this weekend. More information on this campaign will be posted in an article right after this.
Updates on AXCEL STYLE
We now have a new theme and a new look to commemorate the upcoming release of the 3rd single, RISE. As you can see at the gorgeous visuals above, the boys are sporting a red and black theme. So, I created a whole new theme with the red and black scheme on it.
And that would be it for today's What's Happening? post. More to come, I promise!
Till next time, Axcels!

Read as "deteitteyo," or "(Please) come out" or "Please exit."
Japanese title: 「盾の勇者の成り上がり」 (Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari), but the English translation of the title is more well-known to the Japanese, or its shortened version, Shield Hero.

I hail from the East Bay side of the SF Bay area building internet stuff, documenting stuff I build, and sharing my love for them to others for a living. Sort of. I've been an AXCEL since April Fool's Day 2018 and built AXCEL STYLE to show my love and appreciation for MADKID. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, indulge in good food, writing stories, photography, sketch art, read books, and travel. [Twitter // IG]

Milltown Brothers are an English indie band from Colne, Lancashire, England.

Career
Their first release, in 1989, was the "Coming From The Mill" EP which became single of the week in the NME magazine, and featured the songs "Roses", "We've Got Time" and "Something On My Mind". The same publication tipped Milltown Brothers for stardom in the 1990s, along with The Hoovers, Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, The Charlatans, The Mock Turtles and New Fast Automatic Daffodils.

The band's second indie single was "Which Way Should I Jump", with "Silvertown" as the B-side. After the band signed to A&M Records worldwide in 1990, "Which Way Should I Jump?" was re-recorded and entered the UK Singles Chart at number 38, and reached number 10 in the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock chart.

An album, called Slinky, followed. It peaked at number 27 in the UK Albums Chart. Q Magazine described it as the "Byrds with hard-edged contemporary pop and upfront vocals". The next single released from the album was "Here I Stand", which was also used as the theme tune for the television programme, Preston Front. It peaked at number 41 in the UK Singles Chart.  They were supported on the tour to promote this album by Beware the Green Monkey, fronted by Bruce Thomas with Paul Chapman on bass.

In 1993, the band released the album Valve. It was not as successful as Slinky and they left the A&M label. It took 10 years for the band to work together again, but in March 2004 they released their third studio album, Rubberband, which was released on their own label Rubber Band Records and made available at their website.

In the summer of 2015, Milltown Brothers released their new album Long Road, and again it was self-released.

Fraser has also played bass in Jay Diggins' band and is frontman of Greenheart, a band from Lancaster.

Ann Booth-Clibborn
TV Producer & Story Coach
Ann Booth-Clibborn is the BAFTA nominated TV producer behind the most successful format of the 90's, Changing Rooms which innovated a brand-new genre of TV shows across the world. Ann went on to create You Are What You Eat, and Lost Gardens and worked with the BBC Country File team to re-invigorate their format.
"A story travels faster than light"
As a young producer, Ann developed the format of Changing Rooms from an unpromising brief for a 'DIY game show'. Ann was at the centre of the very special set of circumstances, events and talents that came together to create this juggernaut of a cultural event. After Changing Rooms, Homebase profits shot up, interior design courses were inundated and the show itself was watched by almost 50% of TV viewers in the UK when it was transmitted. Ann has also worked with businesses and organisations as a story coach, exploring how creativity, innovation and storytelling can be unlocked within an organisation.
What she offers you
Ann tells her compelling story of the 14 months which started with a 4-week TV development contract, and ended by launching one of the BBC's most successful formats of the decade. Ann uses the lessons learned over this time to show how to build a productive creative environment, how to feed innovation not kill it and how to ensure that innovation becomes 'business as usual' to put rocket fuel in future growth.
How she presents
Ann is a warm and entertaining speaker who tells her extraordinary story with passion and enthusiasm. Ann is now an expert in her field of business story-telling and unlocking business creativity and so is able to draw very relevant lessons for the world of business from her experience creating Changing Rooms.
She presents in English.

How China's vaccine strategy stoked its looming 'zero covid' crisis

China's "zero covid" pandemic strategy may have saved millions of lives and postponed an inevitable reckoning with the coronavirus. But now the country is staring into the face of a crisis: an implacable virus, an under-immunized population, a stubborn political system locked into vaccine nationalism and a restive citizenry tired of lockdowns.
China's decision to stick with its own domestically produced vaccines means it has not availed itself of what many experts believe is the most effective and flexible vaccine technology — a potentially consequential move in a country with large numbers of vulnerable people who have never had a booster shot.
President Xi Jinping and his advisers have so far shunned the messenger RNA vaccines developed in the West. Experts are divided on the full implications of China's vaccine nationalism. But most agree that bringing in a foreign booster now — even one tailored to target omicron in addition to the original strain of the virus — would not address the core problem China faces, which is a large population of older people who have resisted a third shot of any vaccine.
Protests in China frustrate Xi's agenda of expanding political control
"China merely adopting mRNA covid vaccines will not solve their covid problem," said Celine Gounder, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation and an infectious-disease specialist. "The real question is how to get China's elderly vaccinated." That is a huge challenge, she adds, because trust in the government's covid policies is at an all-time low.
China is now an outlier among developed nations because of its refusal to use the two most popular mRNA vaccines, one developed by Moderna and the other by Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech. The lower efficacy of the two key Chinese-made vaccines became a concern early in the pandemic, when global health experts suggested adding a third shot to protect older people. Vaccines from two companies, Sinovac and Sinopharm, are based on an inactivated form of the virus. The mRNA vaccines, by contrast, instruct the body's own cells to build a replica of a key coronavirus protein to trigger an immune response.
As China eases coronavirus restrictions, confusion and angst follow
Still, based on numbers alone, Beijing's pandemic strategy, including a zero covid tolerance, might look like a tremendous success: China has had a tiny fraction of the deaths and illnesses that the coronavirus has inflicted on the rest of the world. The country's ability to suppress the virus is particularly striking compared with the United States, which has one of the highest per capita death tolls in the world.
The challenge now is finding the off-ramp.
China's strategic gambles during the pandemic were once a point of pride for Xi, because they have suppressed viral transmission and greatly reduced the level of sickness and death. The government officially counts just over 5,200 total deaths from covid — an astonishingly low figure. But the earlier successes in crushing the outbreak may have come with a cost. The country is dealing with an angry citizenry, a population with low natural immunity and a virus that has become even more transmissible as it has mutated.
Throughout much of the pandemic, Beijing touted its tight controls and low fatality rates as proof of the success of Chinese-style governance, which stood in sharp contrast to the looser, scattershot U.S. response that was largely controlled at the state and local level. In America, the pandemic incited protracted political and cultural rancor and left a lot of empty chairs at holiday dinner tables in the wake of more than a million deaths.
Even with access to mRNA shots, and with a layer of underlying natural immunity from infections, the omicron variant last winter arrived like a hurricane and caused a major surge of infections that clogged hospitals and led to more than 2,000 deaths every day for roughly four weeks.
Beijing's messaging about zero covid was well-received domestically and proved critical in cementing public support in the lead-up to the 20th National Party Congress, where Xi grabbed a norm-breaking third term. But frustration with continued draconian lockdowns has been building among the Chinese public, particularly as a largely maskless world returns to normal. That has increased pressure on Chinese officials to engineer a nimble exit from zero covid. Those pressures have intensified amid unprecedented hot spots of unrest across the country.
Zero covid "was one of the best strategies at the beginning of the pandemic," said Xi Chen, an associate professor of public health at the Yale School of Public Health. The extreme restrictions reflected unknowns about the new virus at the time. But the policy did not evolve — unlike the virus — and officials "were not adapting to these new variants," he said.
News of protests of the zero-covid policy is strictly censored inside China. The nation's leaders have loosened restrictions in multiple cities, but have been careful not to link the changes to the unrest.
Health officials on Tuesday also announced a new plan to address lagging rates of booster vaccinations among the elderly. Only about 40 percent of people 80 and older have received a booster, while about 69 percent of people 60 and older are boosted.
On Thursday the Chinese newspaper Caixin reported that local officials have been directed to ensure 90 percent of people ages 80 and older have at least a first shot. Officials have also been asked to ensure that 95 percent of people ages 60 to 79 have boosters by the end of January.
Older people are most likely to suffer severe illness. But unlike in other nations, China put people in that age bracket at the back of the line when vaccines rolled out. People older than 60 were barred from receiving the vaccines in China until March 2021, and uptake was initially sluggish.
Older people were also underrepresented in key clinical trials that demonstrated the efficacy and safety of vaccines. That made some doctors hesitant to recommend them to their elderly patients, Chen said.
Many of those patients were already wary of the government's vaccines for other diseases. Studies conducted before the pandemic found that only 6.6 percent of older Chinese people received influenza shots, and just 1.2 percent received pneumonia shots.
"When I took the first [covid] vaccine, I had some symptoms, like I felt faint, so I will not do it again unless I understand more about the risks," 73-year-old Chen Zhigang, a Beijing resident, told The Washington Post. He has turned down additional doses of the vaccine despite being part of a government-organized volunteer group that went door to door urging people to get vaccinated in early 2021.
He added that two of his elderly relatives in rural Hubei, the province where the virus was first detected, were offered coupons for discounted groceries in return for taking the vaccine, as local officials faced pressure to meet quotas.
This distrust of vaccines has put China in a precarious situation. Many of the most vulnerable people are under-vaccinated, and with a somewhat less effective vaccine than Western options. China's 1.4 billion inhabitants are desperate to return to normal life, but a sudden move to lift all restrictions could unleash a wave of infections.
"China has painted itself into a corner," Andrew Noymer, an epidemiologist at the University of California at Irvine, said in an email. "The idea that the covid pandemic will be the 1918 flu, and that countries can just 'hunker down for a year,' has proven to be a mirage."
What happens next is unclear, but most experts agree that suddenly loosening restrictions would result in a public health disaster.
A research paper published in the journal Nature Medicine in May warned of a "tsunami" of infections from an omicron variant if China's stringent restrictions were relaxed. The scientists projected that, based on the vaccination rate in March 2022, there would be a need for more than 15 times the number of intensive care beds in the country at the omicron peak. They projected that a bed shortage could last 44 days. Modeling showed that such a wave would result in about 1.55 million deaths.
A Chinese official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, told The Washington Post that confidence nonetheless remains high in Beijing.
"The trust in our country's strategy is the same. There's no fundamental change in this dynamic strategy. It has proven successful for the health and well-being of all Chinese people," the official said, while declining to comment on recent protests in the capital.
The government's strategy has in part been affected by the experience of Hong Kong, which — like mainland China — cemented a formidable zero-covid strategy early in the pandemic, enjoying few cases despite relatively low vaccination rates among the elderly. But when the city's defenses were breached in late 2021 by a spiraling outbreak, hospitals were slammed and fatality rates shot to one of the highest levels in the world at the time.
"Especially for the elderly, the epidemic in Hong Kong has taught us a particularly profound lesson," Wang Hesheng, vice minister of China's National Health Commission, said in March, when authorities began a fresh push to vaccinate people older than 60.
In the United States, public health experts and Biden administration officials are cautiously optimistic that a winter surge will not reach the severity experienced in previous years. Most people are vaccinated, and many have recovered from a bout with covid. The overall level of immunity in the population reduces the chance of a dramatic spike in hospitalizations and deaths.
This contrast between the West and China has led some experts to focus on the differences between the vaccines available in each nation.
Many countries that started out with Chinese-made vaccines have since added mRNA shots to their arsenal. The underlying technology is flexible and fast and can be rapidly updated to match circulating variants.
Moderna and BioNTech have both been in negotiations to provide vaccines to China. BioNTech has an agreement from December 2020 to provide 100 million doses through a partnership with Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group. But that vaccine has never received Chinese regulatory approval. BioNTech spokeswoman Jasmina Alatovic said that BioNTech's chief executive, Ugur Sahin, visited China in November and discussed allowing the vaccine for foreigners living in China, but that no formal authorization has yet occurred.
The Financial Times reported that Moderna's talks broke down because Chinese officials wanted the company to not only provide doses, but hand over intellectual property — the know-how to make the vaccine. Moderna officials did not respond to requests for comment.
Many experts think it is unlikely that President Xi, who has invested so much in a nationalist vaccine strategy, will allow Western vaccines to be used. Less clear is whether the difference in effectiveness would even help China climb out of this hole, given that new boosters designed to target omicron appear to offer only modest protection against infection.
No currently available vaccine anywhere on the planet provides a robust shield against mild infections. Vaccines cannot stop the virus from spreading, and when it does, it finds vulnerable people. Infectious-disease experts may disagree on many elements of pandemic strategy, but they agree this virus is not going to be eradicated.
"I don't think [making foreign mRNA vaccines available] would make a difference in uptake, and the difference in efficacy is not that great," Ben Cowling, an epidemiologist at the University of Hong Kong's School of Public Health, said in an email.
A study published in July in Lancet Infectious Diseases suggested that with three shots, protection with the Pfizer-BioNTech shot or the Sinovac vaccine was extremely high against severe illness or death. But another study in Brazil found that protection against severe illness eroded after three months in people who received a Chinese booster.
Kathleen Neuzil, a member of the expert group that advises the World Health Organization on immunization strategy, said there has not been enough data on the real-world performance of the vaccines from China over time to determine whether messenger RNA vaccines would offer a significant benefit over additional shots of already available vaccines. She called it "an unanswerable question at this point."
Infectious-disease experts agree that China cannot safely exit from its zero-covid policy until it manages to greatly increase its rate of booster shots.
"We have to admit that the policy was a success early on and saved lives, but it cannot be sustained, and they do not have a plan B," said epidemiologist Ali Mokdad of the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. "The government did not plan for a move out of this policy, so they are stuck with it. If they open up, they will have lots of deaths and hospitalizations."
"Literally, there's only one way out," said Lawrence Gostin, a global health law expert at Georgetown University. "That way out is highly effective vaccinations, with a wide uptake among elderly populations. Right now, [Xi] has neither."

Q: Main Loop in Android Activity Where can I find the main loop in android or how can I implement it?
If I for example want to increment x every time it runs through the activity and test if x exceeds a value, how would I do that when there is no main loop?

A: The main thread runs a Looper, which is an event-dispatcher (probably what you are referring to as "main loop"). The Looper is responsible to dispatching events and running small chunks of code. You can't get into the Looper on every pass, but you can post small chunks of code to the Looper to get executed, and you can schedule code to be run at a certain time. To do this, you create a Handler and then use the post(), postAtTime() or postDelayed() methods. You can also queue your own "events" to the Looper, by posting "messages" to the Handler. If you do that, you'll need to provide code that actually does something with the messages once they get dispatched.
Be aware that the Looper on the main thread also dispatches all of the lifecycle events (like onCreate(), onResume(), etc.) and all of the UI processing, so that you can't have any long-running operations on it, otherwise your UI will be slow and sluggish and Android may just kill your app due to unresponsiveness. If you need long-running operations you will need to use separate background threads (look at Service, AsyncTask or just create your own Thread.

A: Activity in Android app is used to provide user interface. User interact with things like button, check boxes, edit fields to interact with app using Activity.

A Service is an application component that can perform long-running operations in the background and does not provide a user interface

You may need a Service, which do not supposed to have a UI and is created to perform background work for App.
For example: Play song in Background in Music App.
In Your case, you should create a Service, use a separate thread that do the work of increment value. Check if "x" exceeds value in this thread.

A: There is not main loop in android but every time an activity is open it pass threw the on create you can do that a counter is increase every time the onCreate is called for more information about the activity life cycle look here Android Activity

NY Fed Manufacturing Survey Shows Ongoing 'Substantial' Price Rises, Elevated Future Inflation Expectations
By Tom Ozimek
Tom Ozimek
Tom Ozimek has a broad background in journalism, deposit insurance, marketing and communications, and adult education. The best writing advice he's ever heard is from Roy Peter Clark: 'Hit your target' and 'leave the best for last.'
New York state manufacturing activity rose more than expected in December, according to a Federal Reserve Bank of New York report, which also noted the persistence of "substantial" inflationary pressures as both the current and future input price and selling price gauges remain close to record highs.
The headline general business index in the New York Fed's Empire State Manufacturing Survey (pdf), published Dec. 15, rose to 31.9 from 30.9 in November, beating consensus forecasts for a much lower reading of 25.0.
"The uptick in the Empire State index is a surprise, given that October's surge came out of the blue; we expected a correction," said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, according to MT Newswires.
The prices paid index, which reflects input costs for manufacturers, edged down 3 percentage points to 80.2, although it remained near its record high of 83.5 in May. The prices received index fell 6 points to 44.6 from November's record-high of 50.8, with the report characterizing the two inflation-related data points as "signaling ongoing substantial increases in both input prices and selling prices."
Based on a poll of around 200 manufacturers in New York state, the survey measures price movements from the perspective of industry. Economists typically look to manufacturing prices as an early predictor of consumer price inflation, which surged to an annualized 6.8 percent in the 12 months through November, the fastest pace in 39 years.
Looking ahead, firms responding to the New York Fed's manufacturing survey said they expected significant increases in prices six months forward, with the future prices paid and prices received gauges remaining close to their all-time highs.
The survey's price indexes suggest persistence of inflationary pressures, with the report coming on the same day as the conclusion of the Fed's key policy meeting, at which officials revised upward their expectations for future inflation and decided to accelerate the pace of scaling back monetary stimulus to the economy. While the Fed held interest rates steady, officials opted to begin reducing the central bank's asset purchasing program at double the current pace, to $30 billion per month.
"The Fed is looking to get out of the bond-buying business in double time. Just one month after initiating the taper, they have doubled the pace of withdrawal in an effort to conclude by March so they can raise interest rates sooner," Bankrate Senior Vice President Greg McBride told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.
The Fed's so-called dot plot, part of its revised Summary of Economic Projections (pdf), now projects three rate hikes in 2022, up from the one that was implied in September's dot plot.
"The Fed retired the word 'transitory' from their statement and gave strong indications that they're poised to hike interest rates once they deem the labor market to be at full employment. Definitely a more hawkish tone, and the most we have seen in some time—similar to inflation," McBride said.
The Fed now projects core PCE, its preferred inflation gauge, to come in at 4.4 percent for 2021 and 2.7 percent for 2022, up from the 3.7 percent and 2.3 percent in September's projections.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in a statement on Dec. 15 following this week's policy meeting that the decision to speed up the taper of the stimulus was driven by strengthening labor market conditions and "elevated" inflationary pressures.
"Employers are having difficulty filling job openings, and wages are rising at their fastest pace in many years," Powell said, adding that the Fed expects the unemployment rate to fall to 3.5 percent by the end of the year.
He said ongoing bottlenecks and supply constraints were continuing to push prices higher, calling the problem "larger and longer-lasting than anticipated, exacerbated by waves of the virus," adding that inflationary pressures had now spread to a broader range of goods and services.
Inflation has emerged as a key concern among Americans, rising faster than wages, and eroding purchasing power.

If the text editor crashes or the SSH connection drops during editing, then the temporary backup files may not be cleaned up correctly. Also, sometimes developers create this type of files to backup their work or by administrators when making backups of the web server. Most servers, including Apache, will serve the plaintext of .php~ and .php# files without passing them through the PHP preprocessor first, since they don't have the .php file extension.
Remove this file from the web server. As an additional step, it is recommended to implement a security policy within your organization to disallow creation of temporary/backup files in directories accessible from the web.

Read about Christmas and its traditions in Syria and Syrian Christmas customs.
Syria, where only about 10% of the entire population follows Christianity, celebrates Christmas with the same enthusiasm as anywhere in the west. Here, since a majority of people are Arabs, The standard greeting of Christmas is 'Milad Majid', which is Arabic for Merry Christmas. Christmas in Syria is celebrated on December 6th and the churches of Syria hold special masses in honor of Saint Nicholas Thaumaturgus whose legend is similar to those of St. Nicholas and Santa Claus. As is the case with most countries in the world, the tradition of exchanging gifts also exists in Syria. Here, of course, in line with the local traditions and the importance that camels hold in them, it is the Smallest Camel of the Wise Men who brings gifts for the kids on the Eve of Christmas. The smallest camel is a seasonal character of the Nativity story and it is said that he had an extreme rough time to make it to the journey but did reach in spite of his enervation. For his loyalty and will to see the Christ Child, he got the blessing of immortality and hence, on every January 5th night, the little camel brings gifts.
Syria mostly has Eastern Christians whose traditions are molded in the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe. Their way of celebrating Christmas is slightly different from the other Christian communities.
The various denominations in Syria include the Syrian, Greek and Armenian Orthodox church, the Maronite Church, the Syrian Catholic Church and the Greek Catholic Church.
The Eastern Christians observe a fast as a part of spiritual preparation for the birth of Christ at Christmas time. During this fast, they avoid meat, dairy products, fish and eggs.
Other than this custom, on the Christmas Eve, families and relatives also gather together around an unlit bonfire and carry a lit candle with them. The youngest kid in the family reads out the Nativity story and the bonfire is lit after the story finishes. Similar to Iraqis, Syrians also believe that the flames of the bonfire bring good luck and prosperity to the house.
Many hymns are sung while the bonfire burns and once it gets burnt completely, everyone jumps over the ashes and makes a wish.
On the Christmas morning, every family goes to church to attend the mass. Here, another bonfire is lit and, while it burns, hymns are sung by the congregation members of the church.
A celebrant holds the figure of the Christ Child and walks around the building. At the end, he touches the hand of the person next to him who, in turn, passes this touch further, to every person who is a part of the procession. This touch is the blessing called the 'Touch of Peace'.
Gifts are a major attraction of Christmas in Syria also. Children leave their shoes outside on the Christmas Eve with some hay and water beside them. The hay and water are for the camel to feed upon before he fills the shoes with gifts and goodies.
Christmas dinner is one such regular tradition followed by every Christian in every part of the world. In Syria, the dinner includes chicken, pastries, nuts, oranges and soft drinks.


NASHVILLE, TN (CelebrityAccess) — Country Music icons Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood have been named as the hosts for the 52nd Annual CMA Awards.
This year will mark the 11th time that the duo has hosted the awards show. The awards are scheduled to take place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Nov. 14th, and will be broadcast live via ABC.
While none of the nominees for 2018 have been announced yet, Luke Bryan, Dan + Shay and Sugarland have signed on to reveal a slate of nominees later this month during an appearance on Good Morning America.
Immediately following the show, the remaining categories, as well as the CMA Broadcast Awards nominees, will be revealed live on GoodMorningAmerica.com as well as "Good Morning America's" Facebook page through Facebook Live and simulcast on "Good Morning America's" YouTube channel.
Nominees and award winners for the CMA Awards are determined by more than 7,400 professional members of CMA, which is the first trade organization formed to promote an individual genre of music in 1958 and celebrates its 60th anniversary in September.
The CMA Awards are, unsurprisingly, a production of the Country Music Association, and Robert Deaton will serve as the executive director for the show this year.

As I believe I mentioned, I don't get hungry, although in the last few days, that may be coming back – Yay! I get occasional cravings, but usually for something I can't eat, like cheesecake. Other times, it's fast food of the meat variety. My digestive system sometimes rebels against it, but at this point, it rebels against just about everything, so what the heck, why not indulge. I need the protein and calories. So I'll list those things I'll go out of my way (but not very far – it is Salem, after all) to get when on sale, or are cheap to start with. I go through the drive thru so I don't get caught eating the junk!
1. McDonald's Cheeseburgers: Back when I had a whole stomach, these were a 3 bite snack. Now, one is a whole meal. I get them home, remove the pickle slice(s) and about half of the onions, re-wrap and nuke for 20 seconds. I usually hate hate hate onions, but this just wouldn't be the same without those re-hydrated bits. (note to self: look for dehydrated onions to add to my own burgers) And at $1 each, I can pick up one for immediate consumption and one for later.
2. McDonald's Hot & Spicy Chicken Sandwich: This isn't currently listed on their website, and I usually only notice it when they're showing on sale on the readerboard. These days, I have some issues with spicy foods, but for some things (like fried calamari), the discomfort is worth it.
3. Arby's Beef and Cheddar: Again, this wouldn't be the same without onions. The combination of meat product, cheese product, Arby's Sauce, and onion bun is just what I need some times!
4. Taco Time Crisp Meat Burrito: Crunchy fried tortilla around seasoned ground mystery meat. I usually get a couple of these. I eat one in the car on the way home and eat the second with Taco Time Original Sauce at home.
5. Taco Time Soft Combo Burrito: That seasoned ground mystery meat, refried pinto beans and shredded cheese. If I'm feeling especially naughty (or if they offer), I get it with sour cream inside. This requires Taco Time Original Sauce poured over every bite. These days, one of these makes two meals.
McDonalds and Arby's are pretty close to me, so they can be a little out of the way, or on my way home.
Unfortunately (or fortunately!) the last remaining Taco Time in town is on the other side of town, on Lancaster, a high traffic (for Salem) area, so usually I need to be there for other things before I'll stop in. They don't have the bottles of Taco Sauce, or participate in the Day of the Week sale items, but maybe none of them do anymore. Mom and Dad got me a Taco Time Gift Card for Christmas, but the one time I tried to use it, the phone line was busy with someone inside using a debit card, so I still have it in my wallet. I found the one in Stayton after it moved, so at least I can stop there twice a year after my dentist appointments in Sublimity.

It is therefore subject to change as new information becomes available. We recommend contacting the assigned project staff prior to making decisions based on this information.
DEC gives 'Cleanup Complete' status when efforts to reduce hazardous substance contamination have achieved the most stringent levels established in state regulation, or the possibility of human exposure to any residual contamination is highly unlikely. The Department may allow hazardous substances to remain in the environment at a site if the contamination does not pose a risk to human health or the environment, but there may be conditions or restrictions associated with the site that require compliance by current or future owners/operators. Those conditions or restrictions require follow-up reporting; the department would then grant a 'Cleanup Complete - Institutional Controls' status (See 'Institutional Controls.').
Details on closure of any site are viewable on the Contaminated Sites database. A special report on Institutional Controls is available for sites with that designation.

EGHS Graduate Nurse Program aims to provide a variety of learning experiences in a supportive environment to facilitate the graduate nurse to develop clinical knowledge, skills and confidence in the role of a Registered Nurse.
EGHS Graduate Nurse Program commences in the first week of February and runs for 52 weeks on a minimum 0.8 contract. Participants are entitled to six weeks annual leave (pro-rata).
Clinical Support is provided by the Clinical Support Nurse/Educator and experienced preceptors in each clinical rotation. Clinical Support ensures that the graduate nurse develops their skills and knowledge in a safe and encouraging environment.
Each graduate will have a four month rotation through acute, aged care and either perioperative or district nursing for a further four months.
In-patient Unit — 18 bed acute unit covering medical, surgical, paediatric, palliative, midwifery, oncology and Urgent Care Centre.
East Grampians Health Service is very excited to offer the opportunity to support one position for an Honours graduate nurse.
There is an increasing expectation by governments and communities for evidence-based healthcare practice, as health policies impact upon the way services are delivered to the community.
In this context nurses, as the largest group of healthcare providers, are central to the implementation of new, evidence-based practices. This requires nurses to increase their knowledge of and skills in, research utilisation and application. An honours graduate will make significant contributions to healthcare and to the discipline of nursing, through their knowledge, research and evaluation skills.
The honours year primarily involves an independent research project conducted under supervision of an expert academic in conjunction with completion of your graduate nursing program. EGHS would be flexible and supportive in ensuring both the needs of the research project and your work life are met.
In addition to our Graduate Nurse Program, EGHS are also offering a collaborative Nursing and Midwifery Program for one newly Registered Nursing and Midwifery graduate.
This program is an exciting opportunity for newly Registered Nursing and Midwifery graduates to complete a transition to practice year within regional and rural settings. The program is structured to enable rotations of graduates between participating services in order to provide a variety of both nursing and midwifery experiences. Clinical experience is complemented by study days and access to regional continuing education programs, simulation based learning and online learning. Clinical support staff are available in all services.
Graduates are employed at East Grampians Health Service and complete one rotation to Ballarat Health Services. Rotations are structured to provide graduates with experience in acute medical, surgical and other general nursing settings, antenatal care, birthing, postnatal care including domiciliary and Special Care Nursery.

Q: How can I calculate difference between two dates with time in minutes I'm working with javascript and I have dates in this format "2016-04-15 1230" (yyyy-MM-dd HHmm) and I want to calculate the difference between these dates in minutes.
Example :
The difference between "2016-04-15 1230" and "2016-04-15 1210" is 20 minutes

A: moment.js is a good library for this sort of thing:
var firstTime = moment("2016-04-15 1230", "YYYY-MM-DD HHmm");
var secondTime = moment("2016-04-15 1210", "YYYY-MM-DD HHmm");

var difference = moment.duration(firstTime - secondTime);

console.log(difference.asMinutes()); // 20

A: First you need to get the Date representation of your date values.
/* Helper function that parses date string (format DD-YY-MM HH:mm)
   to create a JS Date object*/
function getDateFromDateStr(dateStr) {
  var dateParts=dateStr.split(/\D/);
  return new Date(dateParts[0],dateParts[1],dateParts[2],dateParts[3],dateParts[4]);
}

...
...
/*Use input string to create date objects*/
var str1= "2016-04-15 1210";
var str2= "2016-04-15 1230";

var len = str1.length;
var date1 = getDateFromDateStr(str1.slice(0,len-2) + ":" + str1.slice(len-2));
len = str2.length;
var date2 = getDateFromDateStr(str2.slice(0,len-2) + ":" + str2.slice(len-2));

Then you can simply get the difference in milliseconds by using simple subtraction and convert the result in minutes:
var differenceInMinutes = (date2 - date1)/(60*1000);
NOTE - Please keep in mind is that you should ONLY attempt arithmetic operations on Dates in UTC. Or if you can guarantee that they'll always be in the same time zone and won't have any DST.

A: a = new Date('2016-07-21 12:30');
b = new Date('2016-07-21 12:20');
console.log((a-b)/60000);
prints 10.
Also see How to add 30 minutes to a JavaScript Date object?

A: Thanks @RobG for correcting me.  Here is another go at it.  I tried it with the time example given and changing both the minutes and hours of both times.  I'm sure this isn't the fastest way but it is a homebrew.
var first = "2016-04-15 1230"

var second ="2016-04-15 1210"

var timeDiff = function(x, y) {

// Gets first hours and cuts it out
hrs1 = first.slice(11, 13);

// Gets second hours and cuts it out
hrs2 = second.slice(11, 13);

// Gets the minutes from first time and cuts it out
min1 = first.slice(13,15);

// Gets the minutes from second time and cuts it out
min2 = second.slice(13,15);

// Subtracts and puts the difference of minutes in minDiff variable
var minDiff = min1 - min2;

// Subtracts and puts the difference of hours in hrsDiff variable
var hrsDiff = hrs1 - hrs2;

//  If it is negative, make it positive
if(minDiff <0){
minDiff *= -1;
}

if(hrsDiff < 0) {

  hrsDiff *= -1;

}

return ["Diff in hrs: " + hrsDiff, "Difference in Minutes: " + minDiff];

}

Returns: ["Diff in hrs: 0", "Difference in Minutes: 20"]
With times: "2016-04-15 1530", and "2016-04-15 1248",
Returns: ["Diff in hrs: 3", "Difference in Minutes: 18"]
Hope this was helpful.


The solar power station will cost almost USD$6,000,000 to build. Ford will invest only a small part of the funds, with the majority of money coming from public coffers and the Detroit Edison's SolarCurrents program. Work is expected to begin later this year.
With the car giant facing its toughest financial times in a century of manufacturing, Ford will be hoping that by ditching its more traditional gas-guzzling image, it can carve a new, greener niche in the global market. Renewable energy powering emissions-free cars may be the way forward for the company that revolutionised car manufacturing.


Moving is a big job. In fact, moving is one of the most stressful and exhausting life experiences that people encounter many times over and over again. Getting your things in order, changing your address, scheduling transportation and moving services, all while going through a simultaneous career adjustment - it can all a massive amount of work. Let Empire Property Management Group eliminate the burden of move-out cleaning from your to-do list.
By nature, moving is messy. Empire Property Management Group is glad to offer a flat-rate cleaning service for the homes that we manage. This service is offered to both tenants and owners and will include an entire home cleaning service, and professional carpet cleaning.
This service is offered to ensure that the home is getting cleaned properly to our standards of clean "Rent Ready" for future residents just as when you moved in. Too many problems have occurred in the past when tenants claim they cleaned the home – and we have to re-clean it on their behalf. Or, the owner has left the home in "clean" condition, only to find that the tenant is very displeased with the move in condition. Everyone has a different level of clean, but in the end, it's on Empirepmgroup to deal with an unclean home.

Lassen Peak Trail Rock Fall is Tragic for Local Family
Contact: Darlene M. Koontz, 530-595-4444 x5101
Yesterday afternoon, a Red Bluff family was hiking the Lassen Peak Trail in Lassen Volcanic National Park. They were approximately one mile up the 2.5 mile ascent when a rock fall killed their nine year old son and seriously injured their 13 year old daughter. Their youngest daughter of ten escaped with minor scrapes. Nearby hikers and the National Park Service assisted the family to provide first aid and prepare for helicopter operations to air lift the brother and sister to nearby Mercy Medical Center in Redding. The parents and youngest daughter were able to hike down from the trail with rescue personnel. "This is a very sad day for the family and I would like to extend my condolences to their family and friends for their loss," stated Superintendent Darlene M. Koontz.
Several agency aircrafts participated in the rescue including Mercy Medical, Cal Fire, and the California Highway Patrol. "We appreciate their assistance and quick response," added Superintendent Koontz. The Lassen Peak Trail will be closed while an assessment is completed and it is determined safe to open to the public. A full investigation of this tragic accident is underway.
The Lassen Peak Trail is one of the most popular hiking trails in Lassen Volcanic National Park. The trail to the top of Lassen Peak begins at the peak parking area at an elevation of 8500 feet. Approximately 25,000 - 30,000 visitors hike to the top each season. There are many views of the park and surrounding areas from the trail and it has the notoriety of being one of the largest plug dome volcanoes in the world.
For more information about the park, please call (530) 595-4480 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. or visit the park website at www.nps.gov/lavo.
