Personally, while more Unity is always Win in my book, I'm excited to see more about Gavotte. This week's thus far focused a lot on her and of all the cast of Skin Horse she seems to have had the least attention thus far. It'll be interesting to peel back the layers of "Mysterious" from her to see what lies underneath.

Backtesting Stochastic Mortality Models: An Ex Post Evaluation of Multiperiod-Ahead Density Forecasts
Kevin Dowd, Andrew J.G. Cairns, David Blake, Guy D. Coughlan, David Epstein, and Marwa Khalaf-Allah
This study sets out a backtesting framework applicable to the multiperiod-ahead forecasts from stochastic mortality models and uses it to evaluate the forecasting performance of six different stochastic mortality models applied to English & Welsh male mortality data. The models considered are the following: Lee-Carter's 1992 one-factor model; a version of Renshaw-Haberman's 2006 extension of the Lee-Carter model to allow for a cohort effect; the age-period-cohort model, which is a simplified version of Renshaw-Haberman; Cairns, Blake, and Dowd's 2006 two-factor model; and two generalized versions of the last named with an added cohort effect. For the data set used herein, the results from applying this methodology suggest that the models perform adequately by most backtests and that prediction intervals that incorporate parameter uncertainty are wider than those that do not. We also find little difference between the performances of five of the models, but the remaining model shows considerable forecast instability.


I'm sorely tempted to ask who you have in mind, Donna, but won't…just in case the person concerned should ever read your answer!
Yes, wise to say no more … discretion being the better part of valor (or valour, in your part of the world) and all that.
wonderful Mick…. complete lifestyle of people reveled in conversation with Bob…….
Thanks, Subhir. I fear Bob is typical of a certain type of person.
very true Mick…. we find Bob every where…….. even I know few…..
I worked with a guy who fled from Cuba to Haiti. (You have to let that sink in for a while to truly appreciate it).
When one of our co-workers learned where he came from, she was shocked. "Why did you leave Cuba?" she asked, quite incredulously.
It was fun to watch romantisizm collide with reality.
Damn reality. gets in the way of everything.
Yes, fleeing Cuba for Haiti is quite something. I take it that you worked in Haiti for a while?
I have never been to Haiti, not too sure I would want to go. The gentleman who I mentioned was a clerk working at the City of Minneapolis. He provided a fascinating insight into Cuba when he described the Patron system that permeats much of the Latin world. Castro, he said, was a Patron, a Big Man who would keep his family and his family's clients (vasals) in power. It sure looks like he was correct.
Sadly, yes. I suppose we get variants on that everywhere, of course. Those in power dole out further power and privileges to their family and clients in return for security / money / all sorts of advantages.
Somebody once said , under capitalism, the wealthy have power, under socialims, the powerful have wealth. The best and worst of human nature will always come through any system we devise.
Very true. Perfection is a dream.
Didn't want to get political as much as simply commenting on human nature.
Glad to hear from Bob again. An interesting piece on the social inequalities in a lot of places.
Is Bob coming to Portugal?
Bob did want to go to Portugal, but I hid his passport.
Lol. I thought he might be able to keep C. occupied.
Now…where did I put it…?
Bob is certainly interesting name… better than John!
Sometimes his name is more interesting than he is, but sometimes he accidentally hits the target!
True… you are good at satire, Mick!
Thanks, Arv. I think it works better than shouting (usually!).
Ah, Bob. He's a noun. AND he's a verb. That Bob.
Very true, Monica. Frequently he's an expletive, too!
Not many people say that!
I try to find the beauty in the absurd….
I think you've succeeded with that.
Oh, Bob! I guess we all just see what we want to see, don't we?
Exactly that, Ann. So true.
Ah, certainly best not to comment, then.
Sadly, I have seen to much of this in Africa, Mick. Poverty becomes invisible.
True, Robbie. It's a mixture of ignorance and wishful thinking.
It's the return of the gilded age. (Not that it ever really left).
True. Whereas once people would accept there was this huge difference between haves and have-nots and regard it as normal, now there is a tendency for many to pretend it's something else and doesn't really exist.


This is my freakish "junk drawer." You know the drawer. At my house, it's in the kitchen. It used to be a mess. The place you put something when you don't know where it goes. So full of stuff it sometimes gets jammed because something is sticking up inside.
In case you can't tell what's in here, let me give you a little tour. In the top back left, we store extra tape and staples. Along the back, from left to right, we keep lip balm, rubber bands, safety pins and paper clips. Back to the left, in the white rectangular bin we keep tools (screwdrivers, a little hammer, usually an emery board and often a Tide pen). Next, in the tan rectangular bin we keep highlighters and a staple remover. In the large black drawer organizer, we have pencils and markers (I love my Sharpies). Below that are pens and mechanical pencils, separated by a small plastic bin holding pencil lead. Below that, in the bottom left corner, it's pretty easy to see what's there: Tape dispenser, stapler, sorted change and calculator. Then over to the right, we have colored ink pens, a stamp dispenser and extra stamps, and in the front, we have scissors and hole punch. You can probably see the rulers we tuck along the right side of the drawer.
Notice that everything is in containers and none of the containers are round. I hate round containers. They waste space.
But it Works For Me. Thanks Shannon, for hosting Works for Me Wednesdays!
I'm amazed and awed. You are a freak. I mean that as a compliment. Come be freaky at my house. My junk drawer is awful. I don't even know where to start. But I know where NOT to start – no round containers. Got it.
So we don't have a junk drawer in the kitchen anymore – sad but true. We do have a little spot on our kitchen counter that is a wire organizer that I try to keep freakishly organized, especially since it is on the counter.
…and I still use the underwear principle. At least once a week it pops into my mind and about half as often I have some inspired thought on how to use the principle for that particular problem. LOVE IT!
I am impressed. Not surprised, but impressed!
That is the most amazingly (and yes, freakishly) organized junk drawer I've ever seen. Wow.
Okay, this is only one example of how far I still have to go to achieve this level of freakiness. Whereas you use real organizers for the "junk", I use those blue styrofoam containers that mushrooms come in, from the grocery store. After I've cleaned them out of course. And this is only one of the reasons I'll continue to read your blog and hope to attain your freakiness.
You are a freak. I, on the other hand, am a slob. Comparatively speaking, of course.
where have you people been. I just found this site………..I have needed you so bad……..I have…..a junk drawer……it's scary it's do bad. things go in and never find their way back out….sigh…..hopeful…….

Could the Micro-Break Method Reduce Your Stress?
Now that summer has officially arrived, I hope you're tucked into those books that bring you so much pleasure and relaxation. At the end of this newsletter, I'll list the summer reading suggestions I gathered from readers last month. Meanwhile, there is another kind of downtime activity I'd like to call to your attention; micro-breaks.
If you're like many midlife women, your to-do list is long and getting longer, as you hop from one task to the next all day long. By night you probablly find yourself wiped out and ready to crash. One way to avoid this exhaustion and feel more rested by the end of the day is to install micro-breaks.
This approach requires you to take brief time-outs between tasks. For example, perhaps you're at your desk first thing in the morning catching up on all your email. Once you finish, instead of leaping onto the next assignment, you take a micro-break. Maybe you simply stand up, stretch, take a few deep breaths, and then sit down again to move onto the next project.
When I was a dean at Wellesley College, one of my job's many benefits was the location of my office in a small house. My favorite micro-break was to head for the kitchen and pour myself a cup of coffee before I returned to the next assignment.
I noticed that my yoga instructor even gives us micro-breaks between poses. After every stretch, she reminds us to, "take an easy breath" before we embark on the next stretch.
So what about you? Ready to give the micro-break method a try this week? Or, if you already use this approach, please share your experience – love to hear about it.
Now onto macro-break territory – your summer reading. Below is a list of suggestions I received in response to last month's newsletter. Thank you one and all for submitting them to share.
6. The Vanishing American Adult by Sasse – Junior senator (5-generation farmer and historian) from Nebraska makes a lot of rational, non-partisan sense when talking about raising his kids, adolescents, and the big issues that no one is talking about in our neighborhoods or in the senate.
7. Sarah Shepherd's new book, Sarah's Haiki: Poems about Living with Hope and Courage is described as containing "probing, no-holds-barred insights on life, poignantly expressed in this courageously written collection of Haiku poems." Congratulations, Sarah, on this newly released book!
May you have many happy micro and macro-breaks this summer!
regarding tips for stress reduction?
So glad you like these updates, Lenore!
With regard to short courses, or ebooks on stress reduction, I'm working on a book that will help reduce stress called, "Midlife Magic: The 7-Day Self Care Plan to Boost Your Energy and Make You Smile." Your request encourages me to get it completed this year!
Bonnie helps me to get in touch with the heart of who I am. She believes in me and helps me structure my unique expression and ideas into tangible form. Because of this, I have gained forward momentum, inspiration, and confidence that never would have been possible without her support and encouragement.

Hello, I am running GATK's HaplotypeCaller on 290 bam files. GATK starts fine and finishes the step stating "Done initializing BAM readers". However, it never proceeds to outputting a vcf file and has been stuck in this state for 10+ hours.
Is this normal behavior and are there any steps you would recommend other than waiting indefinitely for this step to finish or an actual error message? These are relatively small scaffolds (only a couple megabases long). Bam files are split by scaffold, so each run of GATK is for 290 files that are 3-7 Mbs.
Thanks in advance for your help! Here is my code for running HaplotypeCaller and the output it produces; please let me know if there is anymore information which would be helpful!
INFO 16:47:19,200 HelpFormatter - Executing as [email protected] on Linux 2.6.32-642.13.1.el6.x86_64 amd64; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.8.0_45-b14.
Nevermind, I figured out the problem was an empty bam file. Interesting that having an empty bam file (but one that is present) stalls GATK rather than (i) running without that individual or (ii) terminating the program.
Thank you for the update. This will help our other users as well and we really appreciate it.

We describe a bioinformatic tool, Tumor Aberration Prediction Suite (TAPS), for the identification of allele-specific copy numbers in tumor samples using data from Affymetrix SNP arrays. It includes detailed visualization of genomic segment characteristics and iterative pattern recognition for copy number identification, and does not require patient-matched normal samples. TAPS can be used to identify chromosomal aberrations with high sensitivity even when the proportion of tumor cells is as low as 30%. Analysis of cancer samples indicates that TAPS is well suited to investigate samples with aneuploidy and tumor heterogeneity, which is commonly found in many types of solid tumors.
Schematic illustration of the Tumor Aberration Prediction Suite (TAPS) method for visualization of chromosomal aberrations in tumor samples. A scatter plot of the average Log-ratio and the allelic imbalance ratio of all segments in a sample reveals the aberrations present. (a) The example chromosome is segmented with respect to Log-ratio and allele frequency. (b) In the allele frequency pattern, the probes' distance from heterozygosity (equal signal from alleles A and B) is clustered on two means, representing heterozygous (dhet) and homozygous (dhom) SNPs. The allelic imbalance ratio dhet/dhom ranges from near zero with equal allelic copy numbers and low noise to near one with loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH), low normal cell contamination and low noise. (c) Schematic illustration of a Log-ratio/allelic imbalance ratio scatter plot. An example region in blue can be identified as cn2m0, that is, copy number 2 and minor copy number 0 (LOH). Each object in the scatter plot corresponds to a chromosomal segment. Segments are colored according to their chromosomal position (a) and segments on other chromosomes of the same sample are plotted in grey. The number of possible variants of allele-specific copy number increases with the total copy number. Lower copy numbers are more affected by noise and normal cell contamination, which reduce any allelic imbalance. Deletions and copy number neutral LOH may therefore show less allelic imbalance than high copy numbers that retain one or more copies of its minor allele. Note how variants with the same minor copy number tend to line up diagonally, facilitating the interpretation.
Performance of TAPS and three other methods in identifying aberrations influenced by normal cell content. The performace of TAPS is compared to three other methods, PICNIC, PSCN and GAP. (a) Sensitivity as the percentage of correctly identified out of 35 large aberrations. (b) Sensitivity in the subset of (a) with loss of heterozygosity (n = 14). (c) Specificity as the percentage of unaltered genome that was correctly reported as unaltered. All methods showed high specificity, partially due to some of them reporting everything as unchanged at low tumor cell content.
Identification of heterogeneity within the tumor cell population. Plotting a chromosome highlighted against the whole sample allows discovery of genomic regions with heterogeneity within the tumor cell population, shown here on two regions in lung cancer cell line H1395. The arrows mark the chromosomal segments and their respective positions in the scatter plots. (a) On chromosome 1, most of the q arm has loss of heterozygosity and an average of about 3.5 copies. The high-copy segment near the centromere is not visible in this scatter plot. (b) The end of 10q is seen between the clusters for normal ploidy and deletion, indicating deletion only in part of the cell population.
Double minute chromosomes in a lung cancer cell line. A short-segment TAPS scatter plot illustrates the origin of double minute chromosomes (DMs). Lung cancer cell line H1395 has three copies of chromosome arm 11p (blue) and no loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Most of 11q is copy number 2 with LOH (red). The DMs appear as several successive short segments with varying total copy numbers (violet). Their minor allele varies between zero and two copies when the major allele has two copies, and remains at two when the major allele is above two. This suggests that circular DMs originate from the sister chromosome that in most of 11q has been lost. The remaining sister chromosome is duplicated but otherwise unchanged.
Allele-specific copy number aberrations and ploidy in 12 colon cancer samples. Genome-wide overview of copy numbers (CN) determined by TAPS are indicated using color (see key in figure). In addition, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is indicated using thin lines. Note the extensive presence of LOH in many samples, often coinciding with high copy numbers. Average ploidy of tumor cells calculated using TAPS and through DNA ploidy analysis.

A Summer Playlist That'll Work for (Almost) Any Kid Under 7
Posted on July 2, 2019 by rockmommyct
Pop quiz: What's the last thing you played in your car? If your answer is Kidz Bop, you're definitely a parent who wants to make sure your kids aren't listening profanity-laced tunes while you drive. And/or your name is Nick, and you're a dad of four who plays the drums. 🙂
To be sure, Kidz Bop puts out some amazing renditions of songs like Cardi B's "I like it."
But I sense that what many parents really need more of is good playlists full of adult-friendly songs that you can listen to with the little ones in tow.
Whether you're embarking on a family road trip, or are simply tired of hearing "Baby Shark" on repeat, here's a summer playlist full of seasonal, (mostly) grownup tunes that your kids will love. I can say this with confidence because it's an actual summer playlist I use for my two sons, both under 7.
My son Logan, listening to something on my computer
"Three Little Birds" — Bob Marley
Everything about this song makes me happy. If you're not burned out on "Legend" from your college years, also download "No Woman No Cry."
"Believer" — Imagine Dragons
My littlest one loves the thundering drums and been easily singing along with the chorus.
"Rock Party" — Kids Imagine Nation
This fun song from the Orange California kind rock trio Kids Imagine Nation calls for some serious dancing.
[RELATED: The Most Danceable Kiddie Record for Ska- and Punk-loving Parents is Coming in September]
"Miserlou" — Dick Dale
This surf song is one of my all-time favorites, even without "Pulp Fiction." Kids will totally dig it too. RIP, Dick Dale.
[SEE RELATED: "How Meeting Dick Dale, My Favorite Guitarist of All Time, Changed My Life"]
"We Will Rock You" — Queen
Stomp, stomp, clap! Stomp, stomp, clap! While some might be offended by this song's lyrics, my kids love it (and they only remember the first verse anyway).
"ME!" — Taylor Swift
T-swift's new one is catchy and uplifting. If you haven't over-played "Shake it Off" like me, add that one to the list too.
"Message in a Bottle" — The Police
Who doesn't love this song? I mean, really?
"We Are The Dinosaurs" — Laurie Berkner
You might think that this is a children's song, but trust me, you won't get the refrain out of your head: "We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching!"
"How I Love You Sun" — Jessa Campbell & The Saplings
If you like this song, the video is even better!
"Pony Boy" — Joanie Leeds and the Nightlights
This isn't a grown-up song, but it's a super cute little country ditty. And that makes me happy.
[SEE RELATED: Singer-Songwriter Joanie Leeds on Motherhood, Her Summer Tour & 'Brooklyn Baby']
"No Hablo Espanol"
Backstreet Boys singer Howie D's first children's record navigates his unusual upbringing. My kids are obsessed with this song.
"Firework" — Katy Perry
This song makes me think of the Fourth of July every time.

Got 7 Minutes? Learn to Play Moana's 'Shiny' (and Make Your Kids Happy)
Posted on June 19, 2019 by rockmommyct
Moana is one of my favorite movies to watch with my kids — and, heck, even other peoples' kids. A big part of that is the soundtrack, full of singalong tracks written the brilliant Lin-Manuel Miranda of Hamilton fame.
The crab Tamatoa, as seen in the 2016 Disney film "Moana" (aka, the greatest Disney movie ever made).
I spent a good part of last summer playing the soundtrack in my car on repeat, and me and the little men would belt out the songs.
Our favorite, by far, was "Shiny" — the anthem sung by the scary crab Tamatoa.
The best part about this song is that it's not too hard to learn — the chords are simple and pretty much anyone who knows how to play basic open chords (and a few power chords) can play along. And so I've created a short video tutorial here for Rockmommy readers. Enjoy!
PS: Chords and lyrics below the video. Warning: Chord formatting will vary by device, so listen to the song to get the timing right.

Far from the ones who abandoned you Chasing
Eb Bb
the love of these humans
Who made you feel wanted

But your armour's just not hard enough
Now it's time to kick your hiney, ever seen someone so…
Soak it in 'cause it's the last you'll ever see
C'est la vie mon ami, I'm so…
Now I'll eat you, so prepare your final plea
You'll never be quite as shiny
You wish you were nice and…
Shiny!!

From Backstreet Boy to Musical Dad: Howie D. on Love, Fatherhood and New Record 'Which One Am I?
Posted on June 7, 2019 by rockmommyct
The Backstreet Boys are all dads in their 30s and 40s — which proves you're never too old to be a pop star, and churn out hits infused with killer vocal harmonies and choreographed dance moves.
And as the experience of founding member Howie D. proves, you're never too old to try something completely different and unexpected.
The vocalist's first family album 'Which One am I?' — which draws on his sometimes-awkward adolescence as the son of a Puerto Rican mom and Irish-American Dad — drops July 12. Judging by the catchy first single, "No Hablo Español" — a Santana-meets-Sesame-Street tune — the record will show us a side of Howie we've only glimpsed in interviews and news stories.
Backstreet Boys vocalist Howie D. will release first family album, Which One Am I?, on July 12.
In the video for "No Hablo Español" Howie's real-life, 10-year-old son James plays a young boy trying to explain to kids and grown-ups in his community that he doesn't speak Spanish, isn't accustomed to spicy foods, and has had few cultural experiences that exemplify his presumed upbringing. It's a powerful song that encapsulates the struggle experienced by many kids from mixed family backgrounds — especially today.
"Unfortunately, I wasn't taught Spanish at a young age," Howie D. — whose full name is Howie Dorough — tells Rockmommy. "My response was always 'No Hablo Español.'"
The album is also inspired by Howie's perspective as a father of two, who — just like the rest of us — works hard to balance creative career endeavors with the demands of parenting, like shuttling kids to and from school every day (raise your hand if you can relate!).
So how does he do it all?
We caught up with Howie D., who is currently on the Backstreet Boys DNA World Tour, to find out more.
Rockmommy: I just finished watching the video for "No Hablo Español" — it's like Sesame Street meets a Broadway musical! How did the song (and the album Which One Am I?) come about?
Howie D: Thank you, that's such a compliment and exactly what I was looking to achieve. The idea for the song "No Hablo Español" came from my experiences as a child and people assuming I spoke Spanish by the way I look. Unfortunately, I wasn't taught Spanish at a young age. My response was always: "No Hablo Español." The album is based off different childhood experiences and challenges I faced.
Rockmommy: When did it occur to you that you wanted to create a family album? Was there a moment? Or did the idea sort of percolate over time?
Howie D: This idea started when my eldest was about 5 years old. I wanted to find a way to connect with him on a musical level. I had a hard time relating to music that was out there at the time. It made me wonder why there wasn't more music that kids and parents could enjoy together. Also, as I looked into the audience at a Backstreet Boys show one day, I noticed a lot of kids coming to the shows with their BSB fan parents. That was the straw that broke the camel's back… and I began working on what is now Which One Am I?
Rockmommy: You became a husband and then a dad after decades of musical success with the Backstreet Boys. How has parenthood changed you, personally?
Howie D.: Parenthood has taught me to be selfless. Having a family has really balanced me out in life. Now, I am able to truly understand the meaning of working hard, but also the meaning of being a family man too.
Rockmommy: How has parenthood influenced your music (or even your tour schedule)?
Howie D.: Parenthood has influenced my music by making me think about different subjects. I am inspired by different things nowadays. All 5 of us in the Backstreet Boys are now parents. We try to work together on a schedule that allows us to work hard and put in quality time with our families, even if it is on the road.
Rockmommy: Do your boys enjoy playing music or sing with you?
Howie D.: My kids LOVE singing with me. On the way to school — I am the bus driver when I am home — we are always singing along and rewriting songs we hear on the radio. James definitely has the entertainer bug! He loves singing and dancing. He even takes voice lessons from my sister, Pollyanna [Dorough].
Rockmommy: Do you go to "daddy and me" toddler music classes or anything like that? Or just jam at home?
Howie D.: When my kids were younger, I would go to Gymboree with them. This also inspired me to want to make something more entertaining for families!
Rockmommy: Having a busy work life and kids can be hard on marriage. How do you make it work?
Howie D.: I try to put in quality time for both. When me and my wife are back home, we have a date night once a week. It brings us back to a time when it was just the two of us! Marriage is something you always work on. As I mentioned, I am the bus driver when I'm at home. I love that quality time with the kids in the morning and afternoons.

What to Do When Goals and Hobbies Become Stressful
When I first began playing guitar in college, no one had to nag me to practice. I played every chance I got, picking up tips from more-skilled players and romantic partners along the way.
Me, carving out 10 minutes on a sunny day, to play guitar.
Within a few months, I was hooked. It helped, of course, that when I started playing guitar I was dating an insanely skilled player — a guy who patiently walked me through the basics (transitioning from E-minor to G) and the complex stuff (the Circle of Fifths) — but he didn't need to convince me to practice. I just did, perhaps to the detriment of other areas of my life.
Fast forward to 2019, and "play guitar" has frequently found itself on my "to do" list — something to accomplish, something to check off. Sure, I play for fun too — I have a new band, Trashing Violet, and we practice for two hours a week — but most days, I try to hit a minimum of 10 minutes. Some days it's a struggle.
So what gives? I didn't even know what a "to do" list was when I was a teenager with her first Yamaha Acoustic (12 Gauge) 6-String.
In a word, motherhood.
My days are busy and — between making breakfast and lunch, snuggle time, laundry, working as a freelance writer, teaching guitar, working out to stay healthy, cooking, folding laundry, and finally, hanging out with my husband — the amount of time devoted to personal recreation has dwindled. And often times, I'm too exhausted to want to do anything at the end of the day besides watch The Bachelorette (don't judge, people) or scroll through Instagram. In this way, I'm definitely not alone.
But it isn't just motherhood that's changed me, and given a new urgency to goals like running a half marathon in 1:50". It's also the onset of "to do" culture and #goals.
Hobbies are no longer ways to pass the time. They're #sidegigs and essential passion projects. Like many millennials, I grew up with the mindset that I should follow my dreams only to land a mediocre job after college. I grew up being told that having ambitions didn't just mean getting a job — it meant aiming for the stars. And never quitting. Winners never quit.
Of course, being a professional, paid freelance writer — one who's written for The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun and other esteemed outlets — is fantastic. Getting paid to teach guitar is fantastic. Playing guitar and singing with a band is fantastic. But I also harbor secret dreams that one day, I'll get paid to tour the world with whatever band I'm in while writing a New York Times best-selling novel.
The problem is that having goals — or being totally driven by passion projects — can distract us from the here and now.
The truth is that I can only do so much to be a better writer, guitar player, singer and person. I no longer have the lazy days of college to practice my skills, or lie in my bed thinking of nothing until a poem comes into my head. Being a great mom is the most important thing I do. And that takes time. It also takes time away from personal development or passion projects.
In order to keep my life and recreational endeavors in balance, here are a few rules I follow:
Keep goals reasonable. If I were to practice guitar 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, I wouldn't have time for anything else — exercise, parenthood, income-earning ventures, etc. So maybe that means Nita Strauss, a professional guitarist with no kids, will always be a better guitar player than me. But by practicing maybe two to three hours a week, I can still be better than the average hack.
Set the bar low. My weekly goals are as follows: 3 hard workouts (45 minutes or more) per week; 1 to 2 hours of singing/guitar practice per week (on at least 3 separate days); 1 hour of personal, non-income-generating writing time. That's it. When I try to raise the bar, I get stressed out because I end up dropping things I need (like meditation). Keeping the bar low-ish leaves me time for self-reflection.
Practice gratitude. Cheesy as it sounds, when I am grateful for the little things — a body that can run half marathons, a spouse who supports my ambitions, two beautiful children, a nice and relaxing home, my parents — I don't feel deprived or resentful that I'm not as famous as Gwen Stefani.
As my wise mom friend Emily once told me (I think, quoting Michelle Obama), women can have it all — just not all as once.
Hobbies and goals should motivate and excite us. If they're stressing you out, it's time to rethink why you engaged in them in the first place. And it may be time for a new hobby.

Just in Time for Mother's Day: The Story Behind the Single 'Miracles Happen' Will Warm Your Heart
Posted on May 10, 2019 by rockmommyct
To say that miracles happen is almost an understatement for producer, musician and dad Don Cherel. When Cherel found out his wife was expecting twins in October 2017, he was over the moon that they'd be expanding their family. But then his world came crashing down when he was told that one or both of the girls would not survive due to Fetal Hydrops. Between December and February 2018, he struggled to keep the faith as he feared the worst.
But then, something different happened. In February 2018, the Cherel family received the news that the hydrops had "miraculously" disappeared.
The emotional roller coaster and Cherel's gratitude led him back to his guitar, and in March, the song "Miracles Happen" came to life. Three months later, in June 2018, his twin daughters were born.
Of course, it isn't lost on Cherel that he's incredibly lucky because devastating things happen to real families every day. But he hopes that his song is a testament to the power of music and writing — not only as an outlet to get through a difficult time, but as a way to channel emotions and celebrate all that is good.
Cherel recently caught up with Rockmommy to share his heartwarming story.
[You can download the single "Miracles Happen" here].
Rockmommy: Can you talk about how the song "Miracles Happen" came about?
Don Cherel: I wrote the song "Miracles Happen" during an extremely difficult time for myself, my wife, and two sons. It was March of 2018 when I sat down at the piano to write a song about what our family was going through: We found out we were having twins the previous October, and told one or both would not survive that December due to Fetal Hydrops — and then, in February, we were told that miraculously the hydrops disappeared! Our twin girls were born in June of 2018. We're planning their first birthday now.
The song was an emotional journey that I had to express musically. Music has always been my fundamental communicative art form. There's something about an emotional and poetic expression wrapped in a rhythmic mathematical construct that has always felt naturally expressive to me.
I've worked on hundreds of tunes professionally working at a production company but this one had far more personal gravitas. This song contains so much personal pain, fear and triumph culminating into a story of hope, I had to express those emotions musically. I've always dealt with tragedy and devastation even joy through songwriting. I suppose, for me, songwriting is a way to internalize, realize then materialize all the human emotions I'm processing with a tangible keep sake at the end. Praying got us through the stresses of the experience, the song is sort of the documentary that describes it.
Don Cherel with his twin daughters, who inspired the single 'Miracles Happen'
Rockmommy: Have you always been a believer in miracles or more of a skeptic?
Don Cherel: To say I've always believed in miracles would be inaccurate. The older I get the more I realize there are certain instances I can't explain logically. I would consider myself a logical person approaching most instances with ration and logical thought, however this time was very different. Ration and logic did little to help face the paralyzing fear of a grim prognosis. My wife and I were devastated because the doctors told us one child (Baby B) wouldn't survive and there's a good chance Baby A would meet the same fate. We have two boys and our family was huddled together crying in the living room. They looked up at me and asked "Daddy, will it be ok?" No ration or logic is going to suffice in that instance. We started praying for a miracle and a few months later we got one. I am now 100 percent a believer in miracles.
Rockmommy: So many devastating things happen to people — why is music, songwriting specifically, such a helpful channel?
Don Cherel: It is an unfortunate truth that as human beings we witness and experience devastation. I can't logically, rationally or accurately explain all the reasons behind human devastation but I know what it feels like. I also know what hope feels like, and not just empty hope but hope that comes to fruition. To live through that experience formed in me a story I had to tell through song. Why a song? I think songs have the ability to describe and communicate emotions we couldn't otherwise articulate, at least that's what happens to me. For some reason those 12 pitches when arranged correctly can evoke in us the deep, deep feelings.
Don Cherel: How do you make time to write?
Rockmommy: I'm not sure I make time to write as often as I should. I primarily compose on guitar and have a recording studio in our barn. Guitars are always hanging on the wall or leaning on a piece of furniture so whenever I have something to say I pick one up to see what will come out. I try and play everyday, sometimes 20 minutes sometimes a few hours but I'm always writing.
Rockmommy: What message do you hope to pass on to other parents?
Don Cherel: The message I hope to pass on to other parents is the same message that was passed on to me: hope. My wife and I have a friend who knew of a family in a very similar situation and their child was diagnosed with Fetal Hydrops, told the baby wouldn't survive yet was born and had just turned 12 months old. We don't know why certain things happen to certain people but the more people I talk to the more we agree, miracles are happening everyday. This just happens to be our miracle story.

Kindie Rocker Jessa Campbell Shares Her Secrets for Staying Creative While Raising a Toddler
Posted on May 9, 2019 by rockmommyct
If kindie rock musicians were planets, Jessa Campbell would be Mother Earth. The Portland, Ore.-based singer loves hiking through the tranquil forest, pondering life, and basking in the warmth of a summer day. In fact, her latest single with band The Saplings, "How I Love You Sun," which debuts this month on Rockmommy, is all about her hot friend.
But these days there's another kind of sunshine that's capturing her heart: Her real-life, three-year-old son.
Here, Campbell talks about carving out the"me time" she needed to make her latest album, the Pacific Northwest music scene, and finding work-life balance. [Watch the video here, and download the single on Spotify]
Rockmommy: Your voice is amazing! When did you start singing?
Jessa Campbell: Music was a part of my life right from the start. My father loved bluegrass and would often play his guitar and sing around the home. My younger sisters and I could often be found harmonizing from our respective rooms! The first time I remember actually learning a song and singing it for my family was in 1st grade. Mrs. Williams introduced Raffi's song, "Evergreen Everblue" to the class. That song instilled in me a desire to protect the planet, while also showing my parents that I could carry a tune! I remember singing it for them at a little family picnic we had in our backyard and seeing the surprised looks on their faces.
Rockmommy: Can you tell us how your music has changed since you became a mom (or has it?)
Jessa Campbell: Oh yeah, it's changed quite a bit! Long gone are the glorious days of hiking through the tranquil forest, pausing now and then to ponder the journey through life! Let's just say that I wrote a lot of music before having my son. But now, I think I write better music. As you know, moms have very little "me" time. I have to fiercely protect the limited time I've carved out for myself. It's within those incredibly small spaces that the plug is pulled and the songs burst through. With going sometimes weeks or months without having that space, there is a lot of pent-up creativity! The space slowly refines the songs within. Once a moment arises for them to emerge, they can't get out quickly enough! And there's no time for crap ideas at that point. I know when a song just isn't right. In the old days, I would give it space and coax it into being. Now, there's another song right behind her!
"How I Love You Sun" single available now (Photo courtesy: Jessa Campbell and the Saplings)
Rockmommy: What inspired your new song and video?
Jessa Campbell: I was thinking about some of my friends in Indonesia! It was actually quite early in the morning, like, 4 a.m. early. I had been woken up, by my 3-year-old of course, and was unable to fall back asleep due to the laundry list of things that needed to be accomplished the next day. I starting thinking of friends who were already well into their day. I used to sing on a cruise ship and have a lot of Indonesian friends from that experience. The melody was originally written for a song I was crafting called "Indonesian Sun". I started thinking about how incredible this jewel in the sky was and began researching facts about the sun! The song practically wrote itself!
Rockmommy: What inspires you about the Pacific Northwest's music scene?
Jessa Campbell: I appreciate the collaborations and support I've received through the community. It's the kind of place where artists really are there for one another. My bandmates both with the Saplings and in other projects I play with have been my support system! Folks of LDW, the Talking Heads Tribute Project I'm in, were cool with me bringing my toddler to rehearsals. He'd rock out with his little headphones on while mama sang. One incredible organization that I first received some help from and now have the pleasure to work with is Local Roots Music. Local Roots Music NW was founded in 2013 by local musician and entrepreneur Robert Richter. What began as a weekly Sunday night radio program showcasing NW Music on KMUZ-FM in Salem now includes a number of programs promoting local music with most events held in the Portland area.

Rockmommy: When you see little ones respond to your music, how do you feel?
Jessa Campbell: It's the best feeling in the world! From the wide-eyed wobblers to the "twirl-around- the-room-like-a-fairy" 8-year-olds, I cannot get enough of it. Each show is so different, and I play to the ages and energies in the room. There was a recent show with a little boy who was quite shy, hiding under the table. I decided to turn that into a game and play our song about the moles in the ground, pointing out that he must have known what song was next! He lit right up once he realized he was doing something pretty awesome!
Rockmommy: What are some of the challenges of being a musician and a mom?
Jessa Campbell: Carrying gear and a kiddo. I have to make multiple trips back and forth of course. Oh, and then there are the moments when your kid is coming up on the stage to tug on your costume while you try to keep singing and also try to communicate that he needs to stop. Fun times. Thankfully Grandma and Grandpa are here now!
Rockmommy: What advice do you have for rockmommies?
Jessa Campbell: Keep doing it. I thought that as a single mama, my music days were over. Nah. You just have to be creative, super resourceful, and carry extra snacks in the diaper bag for the band members at rehearsal!

Will our Olympic Gold Quest end in 2012?
National boxing coach Roel Velasco expressed his hope that the country stands to end its 86-year Olympic gold medal thirst two years from now in the quadrennial conclave's 2012 edition in London.
Speaking at the SCOOP Sa Kamayan weekly session at the Kamayan Restaurant-Padre Faura, Velasco said that with the present crops of new talents the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines has discovered, it won't be long for the Philippines to realized its long time dream, he himself, brother Mansueto "Onyok" and a host of other silver and bronze medalists failed before.
Velasco, a bronze medalist in the 1992 Games held in Barcelona, specifically cited Asian Games gold medalist, flyweight Rey Saludar, and his younger brother Vic , a light-fly and an Asiad bronze medalist, as among those ABAP hierarchy is pinning its hopes to accomplish that goal.
"The core of our national pool are young and determined in their quest for honors for the country and themselves so that I believe our first Olympic gold can come from this batch," he told his audience even as he also mentioned bantamweight Charly Suarez and a host of women fighters, headed by Annie Albania as prospects, too.
"Bukod sa determinado, masunurin sa mga itinuturo ng kanilang coach, kaya naman nagiging successful sila. Wala pang ere sa katawan," he added citing the all-all support being extended by ABAP, headed by its president, Ricky Vargas and chair, Manny V. Pangilinan, as the pool members' motivation to really excell in their trades.
Rey himself, the elder of the Saludar boxing brothers at 23, echoed the team's sentiment, saying their quest for glory did not end in winning medals in the Asian level competitions.
"And target po namin noong kami's mapili sa national team ay ang makamit ang minimithing Olympic gold medal kubg kaya's ito ang pipilitin naming maabot hanggang makakaya namin sa pamamagitan ng puspusang preparasyon," Rey said.
Bowling gold medalist Biboy Rivera and 9-ball gold medal winner in billiards Dennis Orcollo,who were also at the session, sponsored by TV-5, Mang Inasal and FILA, ikewise, echoed the South Cotabato fighters' sentiment.
Rivera, who is also a world bowling champion, for one, said that with the conflict of schedule in regards to his personal coach and the national coach finally settled, there is no stopping him from representing anew the country in future international competitions.
"The Philippine Bowling Congress has allowed me to train exclusively with my personal coach, Madoka Amano, so wala nang sagabal sa ensayo ko. Nahirapan kasi ako nitong nakaraan taon dahil sa ensayo sa personal coach ko tapos ensayo na naman sa national team coach, kaya medyo naapektuhan ang laro ko," he bared.
"Of course my concern now is the seven-leg World Tour, which starts February next year, and the 2011 Southeast Asian Games, if I can qualify.
Ditto to Orcollo, the 32-year-old cue pride of Surigao, who said the Billiards and Snooker Congress of the Philippines president, under its president Bong Ilagan, will be concentrating on several international meets besides preparing, too, for the SEA Games.
"Ang unang paghahandaan namin ay ang World Pool Masters late this year sa Las Vegas on the way to competing, too, in several world-class competitions, mostly in the U.S. para paghandaan na rin ang SEA Games, Orcollo who was accompanied at the forum by coaches Francisco "Django" Bustamante and Boyet Asonto and Warren Kiamco, the man he beat for the gold medal. said.
Also present as guests were national pool team members Benjie Guevarra, AlvinBarbero, Iris Ranola, Flor Andal and Maryan Basas.

So, what was the result on 19 September 2010? Did we achieve our ambitious goals? Yes and no. Yes, we did become the third largest party and we now have seats in more municipalities and in all regional councils. However, contrary to some predictions in the polls, we neither doubled our share of the votes nor succeeded in forming a government together with our Red-Green partners.
In numbers, we achieved the best result ever in parliamentary elections with 7.3% of the votes. The result translated into 6 new MPs (up to 25 from 19), the first ever Green deputy speaker in parliament (Ulf Holm), 35 new regional councillors and 250 new local councillors.

We are doing something a little different, why don't you read the "Points to Ponder" section at the bottom before delving into this post. Promise you won't be disappointed!
The phrase being a "Proverbs 31 women" has been drilled into my head since I was a kid…and probably yours too. I grew up in a great home, with great parents and I was involved in my local church- so, I heard it often and I knew what it meant…sort of.
I will be 100 percent honest with you, I thought it was a standard that I couldn't attain. I was never going to be good enough, I didn't even understand what the chapter meant. I mean, what does it mean that she "seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands." I thought it was an overused way to define women of God and it was the peak that I would never reach. I saw people like my own mother and the women of the church exemplify what it meant, but I felt different. I questioned myself.
Will I ever be the woman that is more precious than jewels?
Could I ever be a strong tower for my husband?
I prayed one day that God would lead me deeper into His Word, that I wouldn't just read the words on the surface but that I would truly understand them. And then it happened… I had an epiphany. I understood for the first time what it meant to be a Proverbs 31 woman.
She does not fear the snow because her house is covered in scarlet. What is scarlet? Well it is a variation of red. What else is red? Blood. They are covered in the blood… WHAT?! They are covered in the Blood of the Lamb. She isn't afraid because her family trust and believes in Jesus! HUZZAH!
And the purple… Purple in olden days signified royalty. Why? Because the dye came from mollusk in a region of the Mediterranean Sea. It took over 9,000 mollusk to make 1 gram of dye… Yes that is… 9,000 mollusk per gram. So you can imagine how expensive that would have been. So expensive that only royalty could afford it.
Just to compare: 1 Ounce equals around 28 grams. In a normal bottle of water there are 16.9 ounces of water, so it has a mass of 500 grams.
That's a lot of grams and a lot science.
What is a "Proverbs 31 Woman"?
She is slow to speak; quick to pray.
She loves God and she loves people.
Sometimes I can get caught up in being a people pleaser. I want to do everything right and not hurt anyone's feelings. I often get validation in what people said about me. On the flip side, when someone would say something negative it would send me into a whirlwind of self-conciousness. Can I let you know how silly that is?! I will never do everything right, why? Because I am flawed, but I have a good GOOD Father that never fails me. And I think above everything what a Proverbs 31 woman is, is a woman who trust God in every part of her life. She trusts Him with her finances, marriage, CHILDREN, and she trust Him with her heart.
So my prayer is that I trust God with my heart, and that you would too. It is easy to say but it is harder to truly believe it. But I do. No matter what this crazy life brings I will trust God and I will sit at His feet and breathe Him in. He brings me so much peace. His son after all is the Prince of Peace… so therefore that makes Him the King of Peace!
So come and sit at the feet of Jesus.
Let strive to be women of strength, prayer, and faith.
Read Proverbs 31… Yes the whole chapter it isn't that long.
Before reading the chapter pray that God reveals a new understanding to you. It will kind of blow your mind.
Then journal what you want to apply to your life.
What do you think a Proverbs 31 woman is?
And tell us what you think about it! Comments, email, Instagram, and Move Group is a great way to get in contact with us!
< Previous He is more than enough for me.
Next > Making Much of Him.
incredible! this is so encouraging. to anyone reading PLEASE do the 'points to ponder' section first. It does make the post resonate even better. Keep up the great work ladies. You guys are awesome!
This is just what I needed — Thank You. My flaws include hopelessly and painfully pressing myself into the standards of this world, seeing myself out of standard, that is. For the past couple of months, I have often asked God the grace to see myself in His eyes. For I know, in His eyes I am His daughter clothed in purple, covered with His blood and strengthened to be kind and just and full of wisdom. I know this prayer will also prepare me for the duty of being a wife and a mother someday but for now, I am blessed to know how precious I am and how wonderful His plans are going to be for me.
Esteeming spiritual beauty above physical appearance.
hi this is a great website that you've, thank u 4 sharing it with us.

Romare Bearden: Artist as Activist & Visionary
The David C. Driskell Center
January 30 - May 1, 2020
The David C. Driskell Center at the University of Maryland is proud to announce its Spring 2020 exhibition, Romare Bearden: Artist as Activist & Visionary which explores the body of work of one of the 20th century's most important visual artists and highlights his life as an educator, scholar, writer, songwriter, and social activist.
"Romare Bearden was not only a mature and richly gifted artist, he was one of America's early scholars in the study and documentation of the creative legacy of African American art. His unique collage like style and intimate subject matter brought to life histories and familial relationships of African Americans with respect and affection."
-Professor Curlee R. Holton, Director, David C. Driskell Center
Artist as Activist & Visionary features over 45 works including collages, watercolors, drawings, prints, and editorial cartoons through which Bearden explored race and racial stereotypes, often taking inspiration from history, literature, the Bible, jazz, the African American community, and his imagination. The Driskell Center also presents several works by Romare Bearden (1911-1988) from its permanent art collection.

Body Art: Tattoo Artists Ink With Creativity And Passion
The taboo against tattoos has eased in Mexico. No longer associated with crime, the art form promotes originality.
By Carlos Ramírez January 27, 2021
Clients often describe the design they want. *** Los diseños muchas veces se hacen con la idea del cliente. (Charlie Ramírez/Café Words)
A tattoo is permanent, so it's critical to trust the artist who inks your body.
In past decades, Mexican society stigmatized tattoos. But there has been a relaxation of social taboos. Tattoos are no longer associated with crime. Also, it is illegal in Mexico to discriminate against employees who have them.
Tattoos are not a new trend. They have been around for at least 5,000 years. Several cultures use them for different purposes, from aesthetic reasons to social or religious markers.
Whereas in traditional societies, cultural bearers are often in charge of tattooing members of their communities, urban settings have a profitable tattoo industry. More than 12 million people got tattoos in Mexico in 2019, according to the country's National Anti-Discrimination Council.
The number of tattoo artists has multiplied considerably in Mexico during the last decade, reaching more than 6,000.
As with any other art form, skill and experience matter. Good tattoo artists should have appealing designs and the ability to transfer clients' ideas to their skin.
Opening a tattoo studio is not cheap. One must rent a place, pay for certifications and health permits, water, electricity, and most importantly, purchase all the equipment — machines and supplies, such as ink, needles and materials to disinfect areas.
"I started about six years ago," said Juan Muñoz Crisanto, a professional tattoo artist and Crisanto Tattoo Studio's owner. "I worked in two companies while I saved money to pursue my dream, which was to set up my tattoo studio."
The tattoo artist must inspire trust before the session starts, so that the client is as calm as possible. *** El tatuador debe inspirar confianza antes de comenzar la sesión, para que el cliente esté lo mas tranquilo posible. (Charlie Ramírez/Café Words)
Originality plays a significant role in a studio. Often, the person who wants a tattoo only expects to wear a good design with no particular meaning. The artist may suggest something more creative.
Sizes and techniques vary. The designs may result from the mix of the client's and the artist's ideas. However, sometimes clients bring their sketches, and the artist transforms them into tattoos. Tattoo artists use their talent to make the best combination of both the drawing and the colors.
"As a tattoo artist, it is important to be at the forefront in terms of tattooing techniques, as well as colors, to give clients a better orientation before tattooing them. They need to be fully convinced of their designs," said Muñoz Crisanto. "There are times when we have to adjust sizes, the position of the tattoo and even recommend the best area for a particular design. Tattoos' complexity depends on the type of design, or how big or small it is."
Some tattoos can take more than six hours to ink. Clients may get tired of the pain and the position, and artists may need a break, too. It may require several sessions, depending on the design's complexity.
"There are people who get a little nervous about needles," said Muñoz Crisanto. "However, I try to talk with them and gain their trust little by little.
"The client may focus so much on the conversation, that often they do not realize the session is over. Here at Crisanto Tattoo, we have earned the public's trust by doing good work, and above all, we have affordable prices," he said.
Before getting a tattoo, it is essential to get professional advice and make sure the studio has high health standards and the tattoo artist has the mandatory certifications.

Oculus Hopes New VC Funding Will Make It a Major Player
by Nick Kolakowski December 13, 2013 2 min read
Oculus Riftvirtual reality
Oculus Rift.
Playtime is officially over: Oculus, the startup that created the Rift virtual-reality headset, has scored $75 million in VC funding from Andreessen Horowitz (with involvement from Spark Capital, Matrix Partners, and other venture-capitalist firms). With that wad of cash in hand, Oculus will now attempt to become a serious player in the gaming world.
That Series B funding places Oculus' valuation at roughly $250 million, according to Wired. "I think I've seen five or six computer demos in my life that made me think the world was about to change," Andreessen Horowitz investor Chris Dixon told the magazine. "Apple II, Netscape, Google, iPhone… then Oculus. It was that kind of amazing." Under the agreement, members of the VC firm will join the Oculus board.
Virtual-reality headsets have been a staple of speculative fiction for decades. "To me it always felt kind of inevitable but it was one of those things, you never knew quite when it would become a reality," Dixon told The Verge in a separate interview. Oculus Rift's quest to become a reality began last year, when its creators demonstrated a prototype at the E3 conference, followed by a highly successful Kickstarter campaign that managed to raise a little under $2.5 million in funding. After issuing a hardware development kit, the company got to work on an SDK for actually building games.
The project received a major boost in November when John Carmack, the legendary game designer who co-founded Id Software, became full-time chief technical officer at Oculus. He will presumably help his new company build games, and his name could help convince developers and gaming studios that Oculus is more than a trendy gimmick.
While prominent game developers have been experimenting with the platform for months, Oculus needs a ton of funding in order to build a large number of consumer units. That's where this Series B money comes into play. A commercial version of Oculus Rift will presumably improve on the development kit's hardware, which includes 1280 x 800 resolution (640 x 800 per eye) and weighs 0.22 kilograms. Now it needs some killer games.

Transat Jacques Vabre 2017. Sodebo Ultim lidera la flota.
The reverberations from a tough first week continued today with another duo abandoning and two more making pit stops. But after six days of "living like animals" as Servane Escoffier (Bureau Vallée 2) said today – more specifically living like fish, so deluged by water have the skippers been at times – there was some relief today. As the temperatures rose and the sea flattened, the skippers were able to get out of their dry suits and fleeces, eat normally, and catch up on some DIY and sleep.
Early this afternoon, the Class40 Carac (Louis Duc and Alexis Loison) informed the race office that they would be abandoning. The duo arrived in Funchal (Madeira) last night after diverting because of serious knee injury to Duc. Duc is currently being treated at the hospital of Funchal and should be able to return to France in a few days with Loison.
The newly-launched Carac, with its distinctive and powerful bow, had been one of the main challengers to Britain's Phil Sharp and Spain's Pablo Santurde (Imerys Clean Energy), who have held the lead after taking it on Tuesday late afternoon.
Enel Green Power (Class40): The Italians, Andrea Fantini and Alberto Bona arrived at 02:00 in Cascais (Lisbon) to repair their starboard rudder and a hole in the stern.
Ciela Village (Multi50): Thierry Bouchard and Oliver Krauss will make a stopover in the port of Mindelo in Cape Verde tomorrow morning to fix multiple technical problems: No antenna, no autopilot, port helm seat torn off and a crack in the hull level with the gennaker tack point.
Doldrums? What Doldrums? Rather than being swallowed by dreaded Intertropical Convergence Zone, the two giant trimarans at the head of the race, ate them up in one bite. Jumping from one squall to the next they passed through last night and this morning in a matter of hours, were soon into 12-15-knot south-easterly tradewinds. They now at 18:00 have just over 1,000 miles of drag racing in what will build to 15-20 knots to the finish. Maxi Edmond de Rothschild closed but Sodebo Ultim' still held a 10-mile lead.
"50 miles in a Multi50, it's nothing, it doesn't worry us," Lalou Roucayrol on Arkema said at noon. But by the evening they were 100 miles behind the favourties, FenêtréA – Mix Buffet, whose westerly strategy paid out and they are extending away in better breeze as they emerge from the disturbed area north-west of Cape Verde. They could pass the Doldrums – which looks like being not very active for another 72 hours – in about 30 hours time.
In lighter airs further east of the stormy depression than the Multi50 around them, St Michel-Virbac's lead has been shortened a touch. AT 18:00 they were 40 miles ahead of SMA, continuing to astonish in a boat without foils. And watch out for Des Voiles et Vous! who have found extra pressure further east. Between them, Britain's Sam Davies with Tanguy de Lamotte on Initiatives-Cœur remain right in the chasing pack in 7th, 140 miles behind. Which way will they go?
Imerys Clean Energy have held their 11-mile lead steady over the new 24-hour record holders, V and B all day. Tellingly, they have extended away from Aïna Enfance et Avenir and TeamWork, who are now 30 and 60 miles behind respectively.
The area of weak winds that slowed the classes ahead of them (St Michel-Virbac, a 60ft monohull is only about 400 miles further down the track) is shifting west and will therefore open the door to a stable trade wind. The conditions are clearly improving, especially the state of the sea. They could have nice smooth schuss to the Doldrums.

Q: Symfony 4 Doctrine multiple table joins in one property Very new to symfony and Doctrine. I have the following tables in my database.
mo_user
id   |    email      |   password
__________________________________
9144 | summer@h.com  |   !password!

mo_user_role
user_id| role_id
_________________
9144   | 5

mo_permission
id | namespace            | name | description
______________________________________________
1  | admin                | -    |   -
2  | users                | -    |   -
3  | view_summary_report  | -    |   -
4  | view_user_statement  | -    |   -

mo_role_permission
role_id  | permission_id
________________________
    5    | 3
    5    | 4

I am trying to return an array of the permissions of the current user in this case user with id = 9144 which should be array('view_summary_report','view_user_statement').
I have mapped all the tables to their corresponding entity classes. and in MoUser.php entity class which corresponds to mo_user table, I have a
permissions method which should return the array but my join from annotations is failing,
My getPermissions() method in MoUser.php
/**
 * @var Collection|MoPermission[]
 * @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="App\Entity\MoPermission")
 * @ORM\JoinTable(
 *     name="mo_user_role",
 *     joinColumns={@ORM\JoinColumn(name="user_id",referencedColumnName="id")},
 *     inverseJoinColumns={@ORM\JoinColumn(name="role_id",referencedColumnName="id")}
 * )
 */
private $permissions;

 public function getPermissions()
{
    $currentPermissions = array();
    foreach ($this->permissions->toArray() as $index => $permission) {
        $currentPermissions[] = $permission->getNamespace();
    }

    //Return default role if Roles are not assigned to this user.
    if(count($currentPermissions)>0) {
        return $currentPermissions;
    } else {
        return array('DEFAULT_PERMISSION');
    }
}

So I figured out the raw sql to achieve what I wanted which is below, but I would like to know the Symfony/Doctrine annotated way of achieving the following raw SQL.
 SELECT t0.id AS id_1, t0.namespace AS namespace_2, t0.name AS name_3, t0.description AS description_4

 FROM mo_permission t0

 LEFT JOIN mo_role_permission ON t0.id = mo_role_permission.permission_id

 LEFT JOIN mo_user_role ON  mo_role_permission.role_id = mo_user_role.role_id

 WHERE mo_user_role.user_id = 9144;

A: I don't think there is a proper way to achieve what you're trying to do directly through property annotations with your current setup.
You could achieve what you want with one of these solution though :

*

*One of mo_user_role and mo_role_permission is not needed, since none of them have additional field. You should just have a mo_user_permission table generated by a ManyToMany relationship between MoUser and MoPermission, which would grant you direct access to MoPermission from MoUser's getPermissions()

*Another way would be to create a service which would have a GetPermissionsFromUser(MoUser $moUser) method (for example), calling the proper query from the entity's repository, which you would call when needed.

*You could still achieve what you want in your getPermissions() method with your current setup, but you would have to loop through each relation's items to build your new result array manually.
e.g. for last point :
public function getPermissions() {
    $permissions = [];
    foreach($this->roles as $role) {
        foreach($role->getPermissions() as $permission) {
            permissions[] = $permission->getNamespace();
        }
    }
    return $permissions;
}

This would assume you have a MoRole entity, which would make sense regarding your current setup, but you didn't mention it. Otherwise, same logic could still be applied though, it's just a naming matter.

A: I'm pretty sure that you could do that query using Doctrine (and a QueryBuilder) like...
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository

class PermissionRepository extends EntityRepository
{
    //....

    /**
     * @param UserInterface $user
     * @return array|Permission[]
     */
    public function getPermissionsForUser(UserInterface $user)
    {
        $queryBuilder = $this->createQueryBuilder('permission');

        /**
         * permissions will be in a multi-dimensional array
         * with a single key per array of 'namespace'
         */
        $permissions = $queryBuilder
            ->select('permission.namespace')
            ->join('permission.role', 'role')
            ->join('role.user', 'user')
            ->where($queryBuilder->expr()->eq('user', ':user'))
            ->setParameter('user', $user)
            ->getQuery()
            ->getArrayResult();

        if (count($permissions) > 0) {
            /**
             * If there are any permissions found just return
             * the 'namespace' property from each "sub-array"
             */
            return array_column($permissions, 'namespace');
        }

        return ['DEFAULT_PERMISSION'];
    }

    //...
}

And then you would call it like..
$permissions = $repository->getPermissionsForUser($user);
