HC Alumni News
HC Honors Heritage
COVID may have changed how we do things, but it has not deterred us! It has been another successful semester, led with faith, diligence, creativity and lots of daily reinforcements from the Uncommon Cup! We have safely hosted athletic events, award-garnering robotics competitions, the Musical Medley, a very creative and innovative fall drive-in musical, and daily, on-campus and virtual classwork throughout the fall semester! Our Mustang spirit is stronger than ever and ready for a much needed break!
A tradition that was born out of a fun way to raise money for the school has matured into something even more meaningful. In recent years you may have seen announcements of "Senior Bricks," "Brick Unveilings," or the "Party on the Patio" where seniors can "Leave their Mark" on HC's campus. On the annual Red Shirt Day in May, a day where Seniors pass the torch of leadership to the upcoming senior class, we now also unveil the new bricks and thank the graduating Senior Class. This new tradition honors our students while also looking to the future – a time when our students return to the school to revisit beloved teachers, coaches, and friends, while also seeing an enduring mark they made!
Would you like to know if you have "made your mark" or where your brick may be? Contact us at alumni@houstonchristian.org. It is never too late! You can add your name to your class's area at any time! Click here if you would like to support HC and also be a permanent part of campus!
Looking to our future, another area of great success has been in admissions! We are looking forward to admitting the class of 2025. Each year, we also welcome transfers who have realized that they don't want to wait to come until the fall and this year is no exception. With nine new families entering in January 2021, we are reminded yet again of God's hand in helping students find their paths. We hope that you are considering HC for your students and hope to welcome legacy Mustangs in all classes! While the admissions deadline was December 15, we are always happy to talk to you about your options! We have lots of great information, including tour dates online.
Happy New Year to all Mustangs and their families! We are looking forward to seeing you in the new year, whether it is at a virtual AlumNight, on HC Connects, at the annual Gala, or at a campus event, we are hoping that we will be able to reconnect! In the meantime, be safe, stay in touch and Stang 'Em!

Courtney King '16
Courtney King '16 graduated from Southwestern University in May 2020 cum laude with a B.A. in Business Studies and a minor in Religion with the Paideia Distinction. She is photographed (right) with Chris Crawford '16 who also graduated from Southwestern with a B.S. in Physics, a minor in Mathematics, and he also graduated with the Paideia Distinction. Chris is now working on his masters in Ocean Engineering at Texas A&M University.
This month she was highlighted in an article by Southwestern entitled, "A Future CEO." Below you will find an update of what Courtney has been up to post-graduation!
"Following an impromptu graduation in May from Southwestern University, I immediately started seeking full time positions in my field. I started my full time job at Ryan, LLC as a Severance (Oil and Gas) Tax Consultant in June. This position crossed off every box I was looking for; I wanted to be in Houston in order to be close to family and friends and continue to work closely with Keely Thorne Events as an assistant wedding/event consultant. Looking back, I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to work at Ryan. I feel like I have learned more than I ever imagined. Before graduation, I was also given the opportunity to serve as the one representative of my class as the Young Alumni Board of Trustee Member where I serve as a Board Member on the Board of Trustees at Southwestern University.
The faculty at HC helps every student find their own passion, and leadership was mine. They foster an environment of support and intellectual curiosity. Such encouragement enabled me to find my voice and feel confident in my future endeavors. I feel incredibly thankful for my time at HC."

Toronto Rock & Philadelphia Wings Set to Battle
The Toronto Rock and the Philadelphia Wings will meet up in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Saturday at the Halifax Metro Centre for the first exhibition contest of the season. As the two East Division rivals ramp up for the fast approaching 2007 season, Saturday's contest gives both clubs a good first look at game situations. The contest will be a first for Rock Head Coach Glenn Clark, a former player for both teams, as he steps into the coaching role for the first time.
The Toronto Rock enter the contest under the direction of new Head Coach Glenn Clark, who takes over after the team's 8-8 finish last year. After two weeks of training camp, Clark is looking forward to the opportunity to get a look at some game situations.
"We're out of the evaluation process and we're looking to organize our systems and introduce some new systems," said Clark. "We had close to 40 bodies at camp. Our draft picks look good and we have had a few pleasant surprises."
The Rock also see the game as a good warm-up for the many veterans on the team.
"We're going to have a predominantly veteran lineup with a couple young guys sprinkled in," said Clark. "We're looking to strike a balance. We hope to get a good look at some of the young guys and also we want to get our veterans some good quality game time before we head into the season."

WSOP 2016: A Millionaire is Made
Overnight, Jason DeWitt became a millionaire, Marco Johnson won the second WSOP title of this career and Chase Bianchi won his first ever WSOP gold bracelet.
Three more World Series of Poker champions were crowned last night as Events #14, #17 and #18 came to a close: Jason DeWitt, Chase Bianchi and Marco Johnson won their respective events.
Event #14: $1,500 buy-in "Millionaire Maker" No-Limit Hold'em
California professional poker pro Jason DeWitt joined the ranks of the multiple WSOP gold bracelet club as he won the Millionaire Maker and added his second WSOP title to his resume.
Winning $1,065,403 in prize money, this is the biggest win of DeWitt's career. He won his first bracelet in a $5000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event in 2010.
The field was huge as this year the Millionaire Maker attracted over 7,000 entrants—making it the 8th largest tournament of all time.
"It's hard to get through these big fields," DeWitt acknowledged. "I usually play just No-Limit and Pot-Limit and they draw the biggest fields. So, it's not surprising that it would take so long to get back here again. I mean, these fields are so big. To win a tournament with a 7,000-player field is just insane. It's just incredible."
"I really think this is a validation to win a second gold bracelet," he continued. "I feel that everybody has one bracelet with so many events on the schedule. If you play the whole WSOP, and most pros do that, most of them have (at least) one now….so this definitely is validation because it's so hard to do."
Second place went to Garrett Greer of New Port Beach, California and third to Lisa Meredith, a school teacher from Vancouver, Washington.
Event #17: $1000 No-Limit Hold'em
Chase Bianchi of Golden Colorado won $316,920 along with his first gold bracelet in Event #17: $1000 No-Limit Hold'em.
Bianchi outlasted 2242 entrants that generated a total prize pool of $2,017,800. Erik Silberman came in second place winning $195,738 in the process.
Event #18: $3000 H .O. R. S. E.
Marco Johnson from Walnut Creek California also joined the multi bracelet club as he too won his second WSOP gold bracelet of his career in Event #18: $3000 H .O. R. S. E.
He won $259,730 in prize money making this one of the biggest wins of his career. His last win came a few years ago back in 2013 when we won a $2500 buy-in Six-Handed Limit Hold'em event.
"This one feels a lot better, for sure," Johnson said afterward. "I just got married and my wife is six-months pregnant, so with a kid on the way, this is more special. I also had two of my friends make a bet for a significant amount of money that I would win a gold bracelet this year, so they also won a lot of money – so that feels good."
Second place finisher was Jared Talarico from Houston Texas and Brit Gerald Ringe came third—the latter of whom was on the hunt for a second gold bracelet of his own, but unfortunately came up short.
Events To Look Out For Today
Event #19: $1000 Pot-Limit Omaha finishes up today with Garrett Garvin as chip leader against the final 12 players. Garvin has 1,002,000 in chips—Bruno Borges is behind with the next biggest stack of 722,000.
Hedge fund manager and high stakes poker player Dan Shak is still alive in the middle of the pack with 377,000 in chips.
In Event #20: $10,000 Seven Card Razz Championship, Jason Mercier has pulled into the lead as the event heads into its final day. Mercier is on the hunt for his second bracelet of the 2016 tournament and his fifth overall.
697k going to 12/24k stakes. 10 left #OneDownTwoToGo— Jason Mercier (@JasonMercier) June 15, 2016

If you plan to do driveway patching yourself, expect to pay about $3 to $5 per square foot, about half the cost of hiring a contractor for driveway repair. You'll eventually have to replace concrete and asphalt driveways with deep holes, numerous holes or large cracks.
An asphalt driveway is a durable and relatively inexpensive option for many homeowners. While it can stand up to the weather and the traffic of cars, bikes and people, it is not completely immune to wear.
Are you scouring the internet looking for articles on "How to repair a blacktop asphalt driveway?" If you're a DIY Do It Yourself kind of homeowner, you've come to the right place!... Repairing alligator asphalt is VERY easy: Pour a fair amount of alligator patch in the middle of the repair area.
Replacing or repairing an asphalt driveway can add to your home's curb appeal and improve its resale value. Although asphalt driveways don't typically last as long as their concrete counterpart, they're one of the most cost-effective options.
The cost of concrete driveway resurfacing or asphalt driveway resurfacing will vary based on the type of material used, the age of the driveway, and a number of other factors. However, you should expect to pay around $2.25 per square foot for a basic driveway.
The average cost for an Asphalt Repair is $350. To hire an Asphalt Repair to complete your project, you are likely to spend between $250 and $400 total.... The texture of driveway affects the overall cost. Coarse driveways require more material and cost more and smoother surfaces require less material. Fixing small cracks.

Definition of Retarding:
of Retard
In 1665 this tax was increased to $	22, and continued in force to 1765, thus retarding immigration, and, to that extent, the increase of population, especially of the laboring class.
- "Cuba, Old and New", Albert Gardner Robinson.
He cried out: 'Count the years of life, span them, think of the work to be done, and ask yourself whether time and strength should run to waste in retarding the inevitable?
- "The Tragic Comedians, Complete", George Meredith Last Updated: March 7, 2009.
The frontier provinces have, as a natural course, been subject to many retarding influences which have been wanting elsewhere; for invasion from without may be depended upon to be as baneful for the preservation of a nation's art treasures as a revolution from within.
- "The Cathedrals of Northern France", Francis Miltoun.

We analysed the use of microneedle-based electrodes to enhance electroporation of mouse testis with DNA vectors for production of transgenic mice. Different microneedle formats were developed and tested, and we ultimately used electrodes based on arrays of 500 μm tall microneedles. In a series of experiments involving injection of a DNA vector expressing Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and electroporation using microneedle electrodes and a commercially available voltage supply, we compared the performance of flat and microneedle electrodes by measuring GFP expression at various timepoints after electroporation. Our main finding, supported by both experimental and simulated data, is that needles significantly enhanced electroporation of testis.

Q: Find and shows the highest record of the name list I'm new to Python.
I've been given a task to write a Python program to read a name list which consist of people names and their height.
Any suggestion or idea for coding to find out the highest height and show the record?
For examples, the highest height is 180 and the result will show "Adam,180"

A: We can use operator.itemgetter
import operator
stats = {'Dave':179, 'Adam':180, 'Daniel': 170}
max(stats.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1))

A: names = {'jason': 5.8, 'daniel': 5.0, 'rizwan': 6}

>>> sorted(names.items(), key=lambda value: value[1], reverse=True)
[('rizwan', 6), ('jason', 5.8), ('daniel', 5.0)]

>>> max(sorted(names.items(), key=lambda value: value[1]))
('rizwan', 6)
>>> min(sorted(names.items(), key=lambda value: value[1]))
('daniel', 5.0)

A: if you have separate lists:
names  =  ['alireza','sarah','maryam','muhammad']
heights = [180,172,178,182]
print(names[heights.index(max(heights))])

if you want use dictionary:
names = {'alireza':180,'sarah':172,'maryam':178,'muhammad':182}

max(names.keys(), key=names.get)

and if you want use 2d lists:
names = [['alireza',180],['sarah',172],['maryam',178],['muhammad',182]]
heights = list(zip(*names))[1]
print(names[heights.index(max(heights))][0])

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.
manufacturing methods by which soap is made on the large scale, and if I give a rough idea of the general processes employed it will be sufficient for the purpose.
Carbonate of soda is first converted into hydrate by dissolving it in water and then boiling with quicklime. Quicklime consists of calcic oxide, and this, when put into the vat containing the sodic carbonate in solution, combines with water, forming calcic hydrate, which then reacts with the sodic carbonate, forming calcic carbonate or chalk, which being insoluble sinks as a mud to the bottom of the vessel, while sodic hydrate remains in solution.
The solution of sodic hydrate, called caustic lye, is made in different strengths, and tallow is first boiled with a weak lye, and as the conversion into soap proceeds, so stronger lyes are used until the whole of the fatty matter has been saponified. If a strong lye had been used at first, the soap as it formed being insoluble in strong alkalies would have coated the surface of the fat and prevented its complete conversion.
If at the end of the saponification process the alkaline solution is sufficiently strong, the soap will, on standing, separate as a fluid layer on the surface of the spent lye, which contains the glycerin set free during the saponification; but in any case separation can be rapidly brought about by adding salt to the liquid, when the soap, being insoluble in salt water or brine, separates out and is removed and placed in molds to harden. The block of soap so cast is then cut first into slabs and then again into bars. A soap made in this way with tallow or lard as the fatty matter would be "white curd," while if yellow bar is required, rosin is added to the mixture of lye and soap after most of the fat has saponified.
When rosin is boiled with alkaline solutions, a compound is formed by the direct union of the resinous acids with the alkali, which strongly resembles ordinary soap, so that the yellow soap is really a mixture of fatty and rosin soap, and when the ingredients are of great purity the product goes by the name of "primrose" soap. Bar soaps so made on a large scale are, as a rule, the stock from which the various forms of toilet soap are made by processes intended to render them more attractive for personal use, but generally the consumer gets far better value for his money, and far less injury to his skin, by using a good "white curd" or "primrose" soap than by employing a high-priced toilet soap, while cheap toilet soaps, especially cheap transparent soaps, should be studiously avoided.
The demand made by consumers for cheap soaps, which in many cases are sold retail at prices considerably below the wholesale market price for a true soap, has given rise to the introduction of highly watered soaps, caused to set hard by the addition during manufacture of sodic sulphate, which enables the manu-


More than half of Australian workers fear they lack the digital skills to guarantee future employability, according to new research.
A report, commissioned by HR and recruitment specialists Randstad, found 55 per cent of Australians believed they needed to develop stronger digital skills to future proof their careers.
According to the quarterly Randstad Workmonitor Report a further two-thirds (67 per cent) agreed digitisation of the workforce required different skill sets to those available at their current employer, with many feeling they were not being kept up to speed with the pace of change.
Randstad Australia and New Zealand CEO Frank Ribuot said with careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) on the rise there was more pressure than ever for employees to be upskilling to secure their future employability.
"Careers across the board are transforming with advances in technology, as we change the way we work, the way we communicate with customers and employees, and the way in which consumers spend and engage with brands," Ribuot said.
"In response, organisations are adopting increasingly sophisticated digital strategies to maintain a competitive edge and deliver a superior customer experience, but the workforce is not feeling confident their employer is keeping them up to speed with the pace of change.
Ribuot said upskilling was a joint responsibility of both the employer and employee.
He warned that if the issue of skills shortage and lack of training was not addressed in the immediate future, the workforce was at risk of not being skilled for long-term employability.
"A diverse skills set is one of the most valuable commodities an employee can bring to a role, so it is in the employee's best interest to be constantly upskilling wherever they have the opportunity," he said.
Always look ahead: The unpredictability of the current employment landscape means employees need to be prepared for whatever the future holds. It is a wise idea to keep abreast of industry trends and always be prepared for the possibility of a role change or even a transition to an entirely different industry.
Open yourself to opportunities: Seeking out opportunities for further training or skills development is not just the role of an employer, but also a joint responsibility for employees. An employee should be constantly seeking out opportunities to learn: whether that's taking on new responsibilities with your existing employer, putting your hand up whenever relevant training opportunities arise in your workplace, or seeking out courses to recommend to your employer or complete on your own time.
Build connections: The more you meet and connect with others, the more opportunities will come your way. Building connections with like minded co-workers or mentors in your industry can open doors that will allow you to both expand your skills and boost your potential employment opportunities.
He said it was increasingly important as organisations across a range of industries were "snapping up talent" with digital skills, but not necessarily upskilling their existing workforce.
"People are obviously crying out to be upskilled and while it can seem daunting to learn from scratch in certain areas, a lot of skills are actually quite transferrable," Ribuot said.
"Many customer service roles for example have already shifted from interacting face to face, to managing content on social media channels and listening and responding online to customer feedback.


Offering makeup as a service but not bridal?
Just wondering if any other geeks offer makeup but not bridal makeup? I love doing makeup but just don't enjoy bridal as much as I find it really stressful and enjoy doing special occasion/prom makeup a lot more. I know bridal is a big money earner but feel like it just not worth the stress!
Hi @Passionate we stopped offering bridal about 18 months ago. Most brides want you to come to them whereas most other make ups are happy to come to you. We still do a fair bit of make up and retail a lot as well and none of the hassle.
Most of my make ups are now special occasions/party make ups or 1 to 1s for salon retail.

No photos of Janet Turney in 2010 , we may still be uploading/processing, check back later.


I was talking to the lovely and talented Sierra yesterday about what my next baking project should be and she suggested hostess cupcakes. She is also very smart.
So here you are, my take on the Hostess cupcakes (little white squiggle and all).
I started with a Devil's food cake from David Lebovitz. He is also responsible for my previous French Chocolate cake. So I knew this would be delicious.
I decided to use mini-cupcakes because really, why use big cupcakes when you can use tiny ones and do twice the amount of finicky work.
But it was worth it; mini-cupcakes are adorable.
At least one of the cupcakes encountered issues upon removal and just broke right in half (how on Earth did that happen). So I had to eat it, oops. And the chocolate cake recipe did not disappoint. Super tasty.
The filling is just whipped cream. I used my vanilla bean paste to make it extra pretty and delicious. I used a pastry bag to pipe it into each cupcake but you can also cut a little funnel out of the top of each cupcake, fill with cream and then replace before icing.
Icing the cupcakes is easiest if you hold the cupcake upside down and dip it into the chocolate ganache. Then swirl a couple of times around and let cool.
My white frosting was a little thin and so it ran together. Add more powdered sugar for a crisper loop.
I think that just the chocolate cupcake with the chocolate ganache would be amazing anyway, but not quite so cute and nostalgia-inducing.
2. Cream butter and sugar in an electric mixer.
3. Add eggs and mix until smooth. Add (cooled to room temp) coffee.
4. Mix in all the dry ingredients.
5. Spray a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray and fill each cup almost full with batter.
6. Bake 25 minutes. Cool completely.
1. Beat cream, sugar and vanilla in a chilled bowl of an electric mixer until stiff.
2. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip with filling. Stick the tip into the top of each cupcake and squeeze gently. Don't overfill or the cupcakes will split. Alternatively, cut out a small cone from the bottom, fill and replace.
1. Mix chocolate, water and sugar in a sauce pan. Heat over med heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
2. Remove from heat and add butter. Allow to cool until a bit set.
3. Take each cupcake and turn upside down. Dip into the ganache twirling the cupcake to coat. Remove from chocolate and twirl more, still upside down, to get an even coating.
4. Return cupcakes to the fridge.
1/2 plus 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar.
1. Whisk egg white until foamy.
2. Add cream of tartar and 1/2 cup sugar.
3. Keep adding sugar until you have a stiff and smooth icing.
4. Fill a pastry bag with a small tip and pipe loops across the center of the cupcakes.
5. Serve cupcakes at room temperature but store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
You should do a blind taste test with the original hostess cupcake. Why do I think that this will be much more delicious?
Those look amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I'd love for you to link up to Cupcake Tuesday next week!
Love the look. Will take note of the recipe and make it myself. Thanks..
I made these as regular size cupcakes for my boyfriend's birthday, and he LOVED them!!! Last night he went to get the last one out of the fridge and dropped it, face down, on the floor! He almost started crying, that's how good these cupcakes are.lol Thanks! I am about to make them again in the mini form to make up for the cupcake casualty.
That's very exciting (except for the cupcake casualty, always tragic). I love hearing people's successes with the recipes so thanks for sharing!
I didn't know how to fill the cupcakes before but after reading what u have shared im really very interested to do it. thanks.
Hai..im still new at baking.Could u pls tell me hw much coffee do i need to make that one cup n what kind of coffee do u use?
Whats the different between granulated sugar n confectioners sugar?
Mas - I get have a mini-cupcake/muffin pan, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Bakers-Secret-Basics-Nonstick-24-Cup/dp/B00091PNE8.
From Maldives - your cakes look amazing! I am very impressed and glad I could help out. I am not very good at the decorating aspect though. I'm sure I could learn something from you.
New baker - I use a french press, so about 4 tablespoons of coffee for 1 cup of water. Really any kind of coffee will work. You can also get instant coffee and follow the directions. Granulated sugar is the standard white sugar: http://www.thenibble.com/REVIEWS/main/honey/images/sugar-230-2.jpg. Confectioners sugar is also called powdered sugar and does indeed look like a powder: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2a7NQN1ktR0/SyALmQSuyNI/AAAAAAAACNY/RzF3RhuLZwA/s400/powdered+sugar.jpg.
did you just make the ganache in a regular pan or double boiler style?


Her story is fascinating and worth a read. Love the post. Brought back memories of uni!
You ran off with a professor? Or you studied the book?
I've never been offered a load to Tassie, I might have to come as a tourist. Your bookshop sounds irresistible. And check Lisa's E Jolley page, you may have bought a book she doesn't have a review for yet.
Hobart has several excellent book stores. Fullers, an independent shop with a great cafe and staff turns 100 yrs old next year and another excellent second hand and some new books is Cracked and Spineless. He has a funny fb page full,of young university students and others who follow him. Battery Point has Kookaburra books. There are probably five or six long running book shops here. Tassie has a lot of readers especially in the Hobart area. Let me know if you get here and I'll provide a book shop tour.
Hi Bill, this is one I haven't read, but some of the plot points seemed familiar, so I think that must come from my reading of the Dibble bio.
It's disappointing that Jolley's legacy seems to be fading: I have been searching my Op Shops thoroughly in my quest to find out-of-print novels by Rebecca West, and I went to four yesterday, plus two more last Tuesday. I didn't find any West, but I didn't see any Jolley either. Where have all those Jolleys that were in the best sellers lists gone?
Perhaps those who read her books love them too much and hang on to them. I think I have all her books and although I can't say I've loved all of them, I can't part with them either.
Yes, you might be right, I'm not parting with mine either, LOL I'm just cross that other people won't so I can't complete my collection!
Thank you Lisa. Meg's review says this is the third of the Vera books, no doubt a fictional treatment of Jolley's early years in the Midlands, so that could be another reason for sounding familiar. And Pam, above, may have given you an excuse to visit Hobart.
I don't need much of an excuse, I love Tassie!
This part of her trilogy featuring Vera, which started with the unforgettable My father's moon. I haven't read the other two, Cabin Fever or The George's Wife. But I have them.
Anyhow, I agree with your re her writing. Whenever I return to her, I fall in love with her all over again.
I suppose I didn't think ADB were prejudiced against her, but for important people shouldn't the bios be ready waiting, like newspaper obits. I might be too old to make use of it if I have to wait another 10 years!
Anyway. I've looked through my unread Australians, who get less and less ordered every time I add to them, and I don't seem to have those two earlier Jolleys so had better head off down to Freo. (if only I could escape from under trucking paperwork).
Fair question Bill, but ADB sees itself as a bit more academic than a newspaper obituary. Therefore I think they need the space of time to let the dust settle to enable a better whole of life assessment. I think that's the reason. Of course it could just be that there's a backlog of people to write about and they are 20 years behind, but I think it's more than that.
I was going to ask how a person gets into the official book. I've read several times on this blog that a husband was included, but his writer wife was not. It's interesting that someone must be dead a good while to officially count.
There are many women in the ADB. Pretty well all the early feminists, last time I checked, and early women writers for example. It is run out of one of our top universities and is rigorous in its processes. I think any person of note in any field will be there in time!
Thanks Sue. The Q and the A appeared in my in box while I was sleeping (en route from Perth to Adelaide). I've got nothing to add Melanie but yes I prefer the ADB entry – over wiki – if there is one and grumble when there is not.
Thanks for another good review, Bill. The circularity of the novel sounds like 'The Well', & the layering of Jolley's stories made much more sense after I read Susan Swingler's 'The House of Fiction'. It wasn't particularly well written, but it was illuminating.
I still have that book in my TBR pile.
Maybe Lisa should give us a second 'week' to encourage us all to do some more Jolley reading.
I'd be in that. I have a few on my TBR.
You had me there Jess, but I looked up The House of Fiction and now remember reading reviews when it came out. The Well was the first Jolley I read (and studied as part of my course work). I would say that The Gs' Wife was dreamy and The Well was harsh, reflecting to some extent both the characters of respective protagonists and the landscapes. But you don't have to agree with me!
Good to know, Bill! I haven't read much Jolley at all, so I am seconding (thirding?) the EJ week!
Are you feeling the pressure, Lisa?

People in poverty
People in poverty are classified using income thresholds that vary based on family size and composition. If the total income for the family is below the threshold, every individual in the family is considered poor. The definition of poverty is set at the federal level and does not vary based on geographic location, which can lead to undercounting in high cost-of-living areas.

Appeals Board Holds that Sleep Deprivation Caused Truck Driver's Fainting Episode: Workers' Compensation Appeals Board Summary, Horace Wade Thomas v. Zipp Express, et al.
Mar 23, 2017 | Featured, News, Workers' Compensation
By Courtney S. Paterson
Horace Wade Thomas v. Zipp Express, et al.
Filed March 15, 2017
This is a case before the Appeals Board on interlocutory appeal filed by the employer, and the dispute was whether the trial court erred in denying the employer's motion for summary judgment.
The employee, Horace Wade Thomas, was employed at Zipp Express, et al as a truck driver. On February 19, 2015, he experienced a syncopal episode that he alleged was caused by work-related sleep deprivation. The employer provided him a panel of physicians, from which he chose Dr. Garrison Strickland. Dr. Strickland concluded that Mr. Thomas suffered from headaches following a closed head injury during a syncopal episode. With respect to causation, Dr. Strickland stated that, while he suspected sleep deprivation played a role, he could not say if work contributed more or less than 50 percent.
The employer retained Dr. Robert Weiss for a records review. Dr. Weiss opined he did not think the drop attack was 51 percent or more related to sleep deprivation. The employer then filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing that the employee cannot meet his burden of proof and that no physician had stated to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that his work primarily caused any injury. The trial court denied the employer's motion for summary judgment. The employer appealed.
The appeals board affirmed the trial court's decision.

Q: 'Invalid read of Size 8' - Valgrind. Trying to populate struct with data from other struct When running Valgrind checks, I am getting an 'Invalid read of size 8' which points to the use of a memcpy. The destination field is an empty, uninitialized struct. The source is a the same struct which is a member of another struct.
i.e Destination = Bar, Source = Foo->Bar.
I am assuming the issue lies with the size arg in memcpy. I have tried using sizeof(Foo->Bar), sizeof(Bar) and sizeof(Bar_s).
In header:
struct Foo_s
{
  Bar_t payload;
  //other structs and variables
};

typedef struct
{
    uint64_t timestamp;
    uint16_t id;
} Bar_t;

In c file:
//Foo_s is passed into the function already populated, let's call it foo_data
Bar_t payload_data;

memcpy(&payload_data, &(foo_data->payload_data), sizeof(foo_data->payload_data));

I am getting the expected behaviour however Valgrind doesn't seem to like how it's being done.
Here is the error:
Thread 36 function_name:47/101:
==774== Invalid read of size 8
==774==    at 0x1C1E59: function_name (in /path/to/exe)
==774==    by 0x189065: another_function (in /path/to/exe)
==774==    by 0x5D544A3: another_function2 (pthread_create.c:456)
==774==  Address 0x40bb6b8 is on thread 11's stack
==774==  1896 bytes below stack pointer

A: The valgrind message suggests that:

*

*in thread 11 you created Foo_s as a local variable, i.e., on stack

*you started a new thread, thread 36, passing a pointer to that variable

*thread 36 tries to read data from that pointer

*but the thread 11 already "left" the function where you created the variable, so the data that the thread 36 tries to read is already invalid

By chance you are still getting valid results when running the program because nothing has overwritten that data yet.

LG e-inaugurates multiple projects of Smart City
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha e-inaugurating multiple Srinagar Smart City projects on Saturday.
'mySrinagar' Mobile App launched
Srinagar, July 10: In a yet another move to transform the cities of J&K and making them more vibrant, citizen-friendly and modern, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today e-inaugurated multiple projects of Srinagar Smart City including Variable Message Displays (VMDs) installed across the city, besides dedicating the new Surface Car Parking at Residency Road, Srinagar to the public.
He also launched the 'mySrinagar' Mobile App, which will be a one stop solution catering to the needs of citizens and tourists in Srinagar. The app integrates all available e-services offered by various departments, tourism related information in both offline and online mode and emergency helpline services at finger tips of users.
Speaking on the occasion, Sinha underscored that the J&K Government, through its continuous endeavours is exploring all the possibilities to develop Jammu and Srinagar cities into world class modern, sustainable and vibrant cities.
"These new initiatives are in line with our mission of making cities sensitive to the needs of citizens and our vision of evolving them through the use of modern IT & other interventions, enabling seamless information access and better service delivery. We need to adopt meaningful ways and means to cater the ever-changing needs of citizens, to acknowledge the limits of available capacities, and strive dynamically to address the same", he asserted.
The 'mySrinagar' App will work as a robust mechanism facilitating real-time information dissemination to the user, besides making information related to tourist attractions and destinations in Srinagar city available on single platform. More than 40 services from various line departments including 20 Srinagar Municipal Services are being offered through the App. It was also informed that the App supports the GIS-based grievance management.
The Lt Governor directed the officials to collaborate with the concerned departments and integrate services like building permissions, electricity and water connections with the 'mySrinagar' mobile application for ease of access by the people.
Emphasising on putting Variable Message Displays (VMDs) into use as a relevant and instant information dissemination tool, he instructed the concerned officials to display information regarding Government programs, schemes, awareness campaigns; Information on traffic/congestion conditions, and alternate route diversions in case of high traffic; Real-time display of weather, temperature, air quality, etc.
He further suggested for preparing a comprehensive plan to develop VMDs as a source of generating additional revenue for Srinagar Smart City Limited.
He stressed upon maintaining proper inter-departmental coordination and asked the officers to get a better understanding of different facets of the prestigious project for effective implementation of various Smart City initiatives.
On the new Surface Car Parking at Residency Road, Srinagar, Sinha observed that the new parking space will provide a solution to the traffic congestion problem in the busy city area.
The Chair was informed that the new parking space has been built on a total area of 16000 sq ft and can cater to more than 100 four-wheelers and 15 two-wheelers. In addition, space/slot availability of the new parking can be accessed through online mode too. Parking slots have also been reserved for electric vehicles and the parking gates have been equipped with remote-controlled boom barriers. The walls of the parking have been beautified by the local artists with wall paintings.
On being directed to reserve parking area for "Specially-abled", the officers informed the chair that the same provision has already been kept in the project.
Athar Aamir-ul-Shafi Khan, CEO Srinagar Smart City Limited outlined the silent features of the new projects inaugurated today.
He informed that the Variable Message Displays are strategically located on PAN city bases and have been integrated with ICCC platform, readable up to a distance of 150 Metres. The Control system is hosted on cloud to ensure 100% runtime. Surface Mounted Diode Technology for better visibility and IP67 Casing for all weather operability, he added.
Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta, Chief Secretary; Dheeraj Gupta, Principal Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department (H&UDD); Nitishwar Kumar, Principal Secretary to Lt Governor; Pandurang K Pole, Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir; Mohammad Aijaz, Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar and other senior officers attended the inaugural ceremony.

Q: Importing modules that have all its functions inside a main() function I read the answer given below:
Why use def main()?
It seems it's better practice(?) to put all the code inside a main() function when creating modules to avoid executing it when imported.
But at the same time, when I put all my functions inside main() and I want to import it to another program, how would I call all these functions?
It seems counterproductive to do that but obviously I'm understanding it wrong, so I appreciate any help I could get.
EDIT: So let me know if I understood it, we don't put any actual functions inside main(), they are separate functions. The only thing that will go inside it its the __main__ portion? For example:
Program test.py:
def my_function():
    print('Hello')

def my_function2(num):
    return num*num

print('Hi')

Modified test.py
def my_function():
    print('Hello')

def my_function2(num):
    return num*num

def main():    #so it doesn't execute when imported
    print('Hi')

Is this an accurate way of how you would use the main()?

A: main() typically calls your other functions but does not contain them. Your other functions will lie in the body of the script above main() and can be called in the standard way.
So your test.py example could look like this:
def my_function():
    print('Hello')

def my_function2(num):
    return num*num

def main():
    my_function()
    my_function2(5)

if __name__ == "__main__": # if module not imported
    main()

A: You call the functions you want to execute within the block below. The functions are assumed to be already defined at the top of your module
if __name__=="__main__":
    call your functions you want to execute

A Randwick record for historic Rathven?
February 26, 2011 – domain.com.au
Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday February 26, 2011, Jonathan Chancellor"
"Rathven, a tightly held circa-1887 Randwick residence, has been listed for March 17 auction.
"The six-bedroom, six-bathroom Italianate colonial villa sits on a 2117 sq m St Marks Road block.
"The grounds come with an 18-metre pool, a spa and a tennis court.
It was built by the colonial carpenter George Raffan on land that extended to the bottom of Glebe Gully, with the gardens featuring Norfolk Island pines, huge bamboos and two Port Jackson fig trees.
After his arrival from Scotland in 1874, Raffan had a shop on Bridge Street near the Tank Stream. Raffan pioneered the cement industry and became a pastoralist, owning Lue and Cooyal stations at Mudgee.
By 1925 the property was owned by Dr Abraham M. Loewenthal who sold it in September 1927.
After its 1927 sale by Dr Abraham M. Loewenthal, Rathven operated as a boarding school for Sydney Grammar School until 1976.
It was heritage listed in 1979 by planning minister Paul Landa after 72 residential apartments were proposed for the site.
It last traded, derelict, in 1982 for $410,000 when bought by gastroenterologist Dr Terry Bolin and his wife, Robin.
It's been listed through Donna Mauthner and Michael Finger at Ray White Double Bay, who should easily smash the Randwick record, which stands at $5.3 million, when the residence on 569 sq m of the retired Swans coach Paul Roos and his wife, Tami, sold last year."
Grand Dame of Randwick
NEWS24 NOV 11 @ 10:07AMBY JENNIFER BLAKE
When the Bolins bought historic Rathven in 1982, it was a disused boarding school, with sections of roof missing and entire rooms gutted. The couple spent 18 months restoring the villa to its original grandeur, complete with a full-size tennis court and 18-m pool. They have lived there for nearly 30 years, uncovering the stories of the magnificent home, a labour of love for builder George Raffen.
Enter through dramatic gates into a sun-drenched outdoor courtyard, reminiscent of Italian paved terraces. A closed in veranda at the rear of the house (used as the front door) is filled with light through floor to ceiling windows.
The Bolins have kept each room for its original purpose, but updated spaces where required so the house now includes a large modern kitchen with white cabinetry, tiled walls and a casual dining space painted in cheery yellow.
The original period hallway holds the house together (including the colour scheme – Robin Bolin matched every colour in the palette to the ornate tessellated tiled floor). The soaring ceilings on the ground floor are gilded with ornate cornices, the like of which are rarely seen outside of Italy.
Take your pick of any number of living spaces on the ground floor. The grand and formal dining room is adjoined by a small sitting room where once upon a time, men would have retired after dinner.
An elegant Blue Room boasts giant windows to look out on the garden, while the property has large living rooms designed to make the most of the morning light and evening entertaining. A grand music room with a large bay window and turret-shaped window is a fantastic space for entertaining.

George Raffan was a prominent Sydney businessman and grazier. He was a northern Scot, born in the county of Banffshire and arrived in New South Wales in 1874. After his arrival he had a shop on Bridge Street, Sydney near the Tank Stream. He commenced business as a building contractor, and within five years became one of the leading contractors of Sydney. He pioneered the cement industry and became a pastoralist, owning Lue and Cooyal stations at Mudgee. He died suddenly in Sydney in 1915.
The following information is from the Sands Directory:
1888 – G Raffan – Builder
1889-1912 – same entry as above
1913 – G Raffan J.P – Contactor
1915 – Gordon Dixon
1921 – J.N. Silk
1925 – Abraham M Loewenthal
After its 1927 sale by Dr Abraham M.Loewenthal, Rathven operated as a boarding school for Sydney Grammar School until 1976. During this period a large two-storey classroom wing was added and the billiard room demolished. The school vacated the property in 1977/78 and was sold to a developer in 1979.
In January 1979 community respresentations were received from the Randwick and Districts Historical Society, Randwick Residents Action Group and the Randwick Glebe Gully Preservation Group concerned that Rathven was to be demolished as part of a proposed development of the Glebe Gully.
An Interim Heritage Order placed over the property on 4 May 1979. A Permanent Conservation Order under the NSW Heritage Act was placed on the property in 23 October 1981 by then Minister for Planning, Paul Landa, after 72 residential apartments were proposed for the site.
It was purchased in 1982 by Dr Terry Bolin and his wife Robin who with the financial assistance of the Heritage Council Heritage Incentives Programme completed a considerable schedule of works conserving and restoring Rathven.
It was transferred to the State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. (Randwick and District Historical Society) (Heritage Office files)

Developed by Kenya's International Center of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE), the 'Push-Pull' strategy may sound like something from Dr. Dolittle, but it is actually an effective technique for increasing crop productivity without relying on expensive and damaging fertilizers and pesticides.
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization reports that a quarter of the under-nourished global population lives in sub-Saharan Africa. Many of these people are small-scale farmers, so most methods to increase their productivity would lead to massive gains in the fight against global hunger.
The 'Push-Pull' strategy is a technique that utilizes intercropping to increase yields by improving soil quality and protecting against pests. The concept is simple. Two of the primary threats to crops in sub-Saharan Africa are stemborers and striga weeds. Stemborers are a type of moth that lay their eggs inside the stems of crop plants. This pest has been known to destroy up to 80% of small farmers' crop yields. The other main concern for farmers in the region is the striga weed. This weed is parasitic and stunts crop growth, which can mean a loss of 30-100% of yields.
The combination of these two threats alone can lead to $7 billion annually in damages from lost crops. Rather, though, than turn to expensive pesticides and herbicides to neutralize these threats, 'Push-Pull' focuses on more sustainable methods. In order to reduce damage from stemborers, repellant plants are interspersed within the primary crop. One such example is the plant desmodium, the presence of which discourages stemborers from the crop. Additionally, a plant that attracts the pests, such as Napier grass, is planted in a border around the field. Thus, the stemborers are simultaneously repelled from the actual crop while being attracted to the border. Along with serving to deter stemborers, desmodium also has the added benefit of producing a substance that interferes with the germination of striga seeds, effectively eliminating this weed from crop fields.
Benefits of the 'Push-Pull' technique go beyond those of just natural pesticide and herbicide. Desmodium, being a cover crop, can be plowed back into the soil after harvest, raising the nutrient content of the soil. Meanwhile, Napier grass can serve as a feed crop for livestock as well as assisting in erosion control via its root system.
To date, more than 50,000 East African farmers have implemented the 'Push-Pull' system. Remarkably, this change has resulted in triple-the-average maize yields of previous practices. ICIPE plans to expand the practice throughout sub-Saharan Africa, educating and training farmers to take advantage of this revolutionary technique.


To value, admire, and revere freedom is the price of admission to American identity. Yet that price implies little or no commitment to ask ourselves what we mean by "freedom". Is freedom a simple matter: the right to get to do what we want, perhaps unhappily balanced by considerations of freedom for others? What about the many species of freedom: freedom of expression, religious freedom, economic freedom, political freedom, social freedoms like the freedom to marry? While the evening's discussion may touch on these questions and others, we will focus upon what "spiritual freedom" might mean. More importantly, we will consider what an examination of spiritual freedom can accomplish in the experience of our lives in the world. For example, how meaningful is it to imagine freedom in the realm of spirit that is somehow disengaged from the experience of living in and as a human body? Is it part of the mind's delusion for people to manifest a version of spiritual freedom that is somehow unrelated to the embodied realities that we live out day by day? If so, how might we remedy that? Is spiritual freedom balanced by a corresponding responsibility to pay attention to both our interior and exterior lives? The commitment underlying this discussion is to contemplate serious questions, leavened at times by humor that does not take serious questions too seriously.

Children learn German through play and other exercises at the German Pacific School San Diego, which recently opened a Poway campus.
The German Pacific School San Diego recently opened a new branch at Incarnation Lutheran Church, 16889 Espola Road in Poway.
The school, based in Clairemont, will be teaching German language and culture from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Fridays starting Sept. 9. Enrollment is still open.
It may seem unusual to have a German school in an area where the focus locally is bilingualism in Spanish. But according to Principal Wiebke Elbe, Poway has many German expatriates, as does San Diego County in general. According to the German consulate, she said, 90,000 people in the area claim German ancestry.
"And it's amazing how many people pop up" when information is published about the German classes or activities, she said. Often, those families are interested in sending their children to German classes after school to expose them to the language and culture.
The nonprofit school offers classes for ages 3-17, beginners as well as those who are bilingual. "We prepare our students for different exams, which help them whether they go to college here in the USA or attend a university in Germany," Elbe said. Adult conversation classes are also offered in Carmel Valley.
Elbe worked as a licensed pharmacist in her native Germany. In 2003, she and her husband emigrated with their three children to San Diego. The youngest is now in high school. "After staying at home with the kids for seven years," she said, "I discovered my love for teaching" and founded the nonprofit school.
The first site opened in Clairemont in August 2013 with 19 students, said Elbe, and today the entire school enrollment has grown to 94 students, including three to five adult classes. The Poway site already has 18 students enrolled, she said.
The aim is to create a place where people interested in German culture can meet, make friends, and celebrate cultural events such as St. Martin's Day (Laternenfest), Weihnachten and Fasching together.
Together, the schools offer classes on different levels on Saturday mornings, weekday afternoons and weeknights, as well as field trips and camps. Students learn through theater, German board games, STEM activities, music, art, and lots of reading. The youngest can enter the Toddler PlayGroup. Middle and high school students practice language skills by debating current events and cultural differences.
High schoolers also have the opportunity to take preparation classes for tests such as the AP exam, the German Language Diploma and the National German Exam. Achieving good scores in those exams helps with college applications in the U.S. as well as for students who would like to study in Germany, said Elbe.
Tuition for children's classes starts at $850 per school year at the Poway campus, with discounts for additional siblings. Visit gpssd.org, call (858) 461-9118 or email germanpacificschool@gmail.com.


While the spring rains may be forgotten, this is a perfect time of year to make sure your basement's dry next year. First off, how much water should you worry about? Even if you're not finishing a room or storing anything in your basement, high humidity or standing water can breed unhealthy mold and mildew.
If you are planning on finishing, you want it as dry as possible. Beware of: humidity, which condenses on cold surfaces, and seepage from the outside.
To find out if your humidity's high, use a hydrometer. 60% in the summer or 50% in the winter is high, and may be caused by an unvented clothes dryer, uninsulated cold-water pipes (which may sweat) and the aforementioned seepage.
Vent the dryer outdoors, insulate those pipes with foam sheathing, and improve ventilation with windows or a fan. A dehumidifier may also help. Continue testing over a few months.
Even if you've decreased the humidity, you don't want a leak from outside to damage your new room.
Start outside. Clean your gutters and test them for leaks. Make sure your downspouts drain into a splash block or extend away from your house at least 18 inches (8 to 10 feet is ideal). The grading should slope away from your house all along the foundation, at least a half inch per foot for the first three feet.
Clear debris from basement door and window sills, and caulk the seals at the bottom of doors and windows.
This outside work could actually cure your problem, but you may need to do some work inside. More on this next time.


Eric Cinnamond writes "In order to achieve attractive absolute returns over a full market cycle, it's very important to avoid permanent losses to capital. Based on my experience, an effective way to limit large mistakes is to generate accurate asset valuations.
A common error made in business valuation is related to extrapolation, or assuming current operating conditions will persist far into the future. Instead of extrapolating and thinking of a company's profit cycle as linear, I believe most business results are cyclical, with profit margins gravitating towards their mean.
To take the cyclical nature of business into consideration, I typically use a normalized cash flow assumption in my discounted cash flow model. In effect, I want to avoid being too optimistic during the peaks and too pessimistic during the troughs. In my opinion, a normalized cash flow assumption provides investors with a more accurate valuation than extrapolating current trends far into the future.
Similar to businesses, I view the economy and stock market through a cyclical lens. As is the case with many things in life, there are natural highs and lows. Despite the natural cyclical tendencies of the market and economy, a significant amount of effort and capital has been allocated towards maintaining the current cycle's high.
In my opinion, the desire to maintain this cycle's high originates from the 1999 stock market bubble. The high created from that cycle's asset inflation was exhilarating. Record equity prices contributed to strong economic growth, rising wages, and a fiscal surplus. Unless you were a short seller or disciplined value investor, it was very easy to make money. All you needed was a brokerage account and a cash advance from your credit card!
Things were so good in 1999, some economists, including Alan Greenspan, were concerned the United States would eventually pay off its debt (concerned because the Treasury market would disappear)! It was truly an amazing and prosperous period few had ever seen – so unique, it was labeled the "New Economy". Unfortunately for many, the boom couldn't be maintained, the bubble popped, and reversion defeated extrapolation.
Ever since the 1999-2000 bubble peak, it appears to me that we, as a society, have been trying to relive that high. Policy makers in particular have increased their focus on the wealth effect and financial stability. Once used mainly as an economic indicator, the financial markets have become the go-to lever to pull when the economy needs a boost. Reflating asset prices has become synonymous with reflating the economy. If a stock market bubble pops, replace it with a housing bubble. If a housing bubble pops, cut rates to 0%, buy trillions of assets (global QE), and watch everything fly.
In my opinion, the tremendous amount of effort and resources used to sustain the current cycle stems from the desire of investors, corporations, and policy makers to live their lives on high. Unfortunately, as nice as it would be for profits and asset prices to remain near peak levels indefinitely, it's not how the markets, or life for that matter, typically works. Eventually "the light washes over" and the cyclical nature of business, markets, and the economy is revealed.

Industrial bolts are used in various applications and environments, and feature an advantage that isn't present in other fastening methods: they can be loosened as needed.
But with this advantage comes a problem: nuts and bolts can come loose without warning. In this blog post, we'll look at some of the ways that can happen.
If a piece of machinery is used again and again – especially by employees who may handle it in a less-than-gentle manner – bolts can come loose little by little every time you use the equipment.
The more weight a piece of equipment holds, the more likely nuts and bolts can come loose. The constant shifting of weight on a piece of equipment can also affect bolt tightening.
There's a thin line between "tight" and "too tight." If your employees tighten loose bolts too much, they can end up stripping the bolt.
In some cases, bolts can come loose because of the conditions in which they operate. One of the most common examples of this is vibration. If there are a lot of vibrations in your workplace, this can cause side to side thread movement, leading to loosening of your bolts.
One way of ensuring you've achieved effective bolt tightening in your equipment is by using the right equipment. For more than 20 years, Maxpro has been offering high-quality industrial torque wrenches for rent or sale. We're confident we'll be able to provide you with the right tool to help prevent your fasteners from coming loose.
And if you want to be certain about the effectiveness of your industrial torque wrench, Maxpro can help in that department as well. We're proud of our ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation from A2LA, which means that our calibration lab has the approval of the nation's top accreditation group.
