This needs no explanation. It sounds awesome. And it's about a girl called Eleanor so...win-win situation going on here.
I am still in love with this entire generation of writers and I'm having a mini love affair with Zelda so it's a no-brainer.
Great Expectations will always be my favourite Dickens (simply because of Joe Gargery) and this just sounds like it could be a wonderfully nerdy read.
It's epistolary, it's on the Women's Prize shortlist and it's in Antarctica: need I say more?
The Lighthouse was one of the best books I read last year so I have high hopes for this new release.
Susan Fletcher is just a literary babe. Her writing has me in goosebumps. This is her latest and I'm very excited.
War, motherhood and Hitler from the founder of the Peirene Press...interesting.
Token tear-jerker on the list. It looks like it will be an inspiring/life-affirming read.
Now there's a TOP10 I could easily do, too, if I wasn't so lazy (or busy with other things today :) ) Also I got some ideas from this post which is totally not good.
What are you on about it's totally not good?! It's excellent to get ideas! I obviously fully encourage endless book buying and book reading. Yes, I do.
HOW did I not know about Havisham??? HOW ON EARTH??? I will own it before the end of the week, I can almost promise. Maybe next week after I get paid. BUT SOON!!!
I do not know, Andi. I feel slightly disappointed in you...I still have yet to actually own this. I've LOOKED at it from afar several times but it's a big chunky hardback so I'm waiting for the paperback. But it looks amazing. And full of Dickens-y goodness.
I hadn't heard of Havisham yet either! It sounds great. I've been meaning to pick up Where'd You Go, too, but just haven't yet. Great list!
Thanks! It doesn't seem to have much fuss made of it which is a shame because I think it would be such a hit with fans of Great Expectations. I'll pick them both up soon.
Nice list! I want to read the novel about Zelda too!
And I too really want to read The World's Strongest Librarian. Not sure when I'll get to it though.
I think I will enjoy it too, very excited to read it!
Number 3 and Number 5! Get to them! ;) Not to be bossy but you'll love them both!
I'm trying! Damn you, life, getting in the way of reading ALL THE BOOKS.
I want to read Eleanor & Park too, and Havisham looks really cool. Great list!

Q: How to style DatePicker Spinner in android I am trying to customize the colors of the DatePicker using a spinner mode in React-Native on Android.  I know this needs to be done in the styles.xml for Android and I have styled a  and the calendar form of the DatePicker.  I would also like to know how to remove the border and change the font color (example in picture (https://imgur.com/a/5kW2Etb)).
I am still fairly new to Android development so I am just a bit lost on how to target the specific things I need.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:spinnerItemStyle">@style/SpinnerItem</item>
    <item name="android:spinnerDropDownItemStyle">@style/SpinnerDropDownItem</item>
    <item name="android:datePickerDialogTheme">@style/Dialog.Theme</item>
</style>

<style name="SpinnerItem" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">>
    <item name="android:textSize">18dp</item>
    <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>

<style name="SpinnerDropDownItem" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">>
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">18dp</item>
    <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
    <item name="android:gravity">center</item>
    <item name="android:background">#E05B35</item>
</style>

<style name="Dialog.Theme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
    <item name="colorAccent">#FF0000</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#0000FF</item>
</style>

I want to make the left image look more like the right:

I am just looking for the correct Parent to be able to style my DatePicker spinner and possibly a resource which would show me all of the aspects I can target.  My problem is lack of knowledge on what I need to target and how Android would label it.  It would be awesome if someone knew about an online resource that updated in real time so I wouldn't need to recompile my app every time I make a change.  I would appreciate a doc which would explain how to target each element.  Thank you.

TIMO TOLKKI'S AVALON Return To Eden - Novinka
Guitar Virtuoso
Frontiers Records is excited to announce the return of Timo Tolkki's Avalon with the release of the long awaited third chapter in his metal opera, "Return To Eden", on June 14, 2019. Five years in the making, "Return To Eden" marks a new return for the legendary ex-Stratovarius guitarist and composer Timo Tolkki. Following a few personal issues which forced him to take a step back from the spotlight, Timo started the writing process for the new album and with the help of Italian producer Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere), he completed this outstanding comeback album. A convincing and inspired release, Timo's hunger to create is stronger than ever. As with previous releases, a slew of heavyweight guest vocalists were brought in to handle lead vocal duties. "Return To Eden" features appearances by renowned Dutch singer Anneke Van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering), Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage), Todd Michael Hall (Riot V), Mariangela Demurtas (Tristania, Ardours) and Eduard Hovinga (ex-Elegy). "I would like to say that Tolkki is back", exclaims Timo. "I feel that this is one of my best works to date and I believe the whole cast of singers and musicians truly went above and beyond the call of duty. We managed to create a really great record. I hope the fans will like it." Tolkki has traveled a hard road to get to today, but he is back and more determined than ever to take back his rightful place in the metal scene that he so much deserves after all these years. Listen and believe! Source: Frontiers Records

Robert Burton Keys Jr.
Published 10:14 am Saturday, December 24, 2022
Robert "Bob" Burton Keys Jr. entered his heavenly home on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, at the age of 77. He passed peacefully in his sleep after a short battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Through their faith, the family finds peace and comfort that Bob is no longer suffering but is now healed and in the presence of his Lord and Savior. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Janice Andrea Keys; children, Kelly, Bonnie (Brian), and Jennifer (Richard); grandchildren, Megan, Andrea, BJ, Taylor, Simon, and Cameron; sisters, Evelyn (George) and Susan (Eddie); nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Burton Keys Sr., and mother, Anna Margaret (Osborne) Keys.
Bob was born to Robert Burton Keys Sr. and Anna Margaret (Osborne) Keys in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1964. He served in the Army–82nd Airborne Division from March 1965 – March 1968. He took great pride in serving his country and was a proud United States Veteran.
Bob and Janice met at Abraham Lincoln High School, where they graduated in 1964. They lost contact after graduation and reconnected at an event in May 1968. After a whirlwind courtship, they were married in June 1968. In Bob's early career, he worked as a machinist and later for an oil company where he installed and maintained fuel oil burners for home heating. Bob, Janice, and their daughters began vacationing in Hatteras in 1977, where they enjoyed camping and fishing. (During Bob's time in the Army, he was stationed in Fort Bragg, NC. His love of the area is what took him back to North Carolina.) In 1983, Bob relocated his family to Hatteras Island. Upon moving, Bob started working for a local plumber. In 1985 he obtained his North Carolina Plumbing Contracting License and started his own business. He went on to do commercial and residential plumbing, new construction, and repairs and maintenance, serving the Outer Banks Community from Corolla to Ocracoke for nearly 40 years.
Bob and Janice were members of the Cape Hatteras Baptist Church, where they attended and enjoyed fellowship with their church family. Bob enjoyed hunting, fishing, and Carolina Panthers football.
A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, January 21 at 1 p.m. at Cape Hatteras Baptist Church in Frisco, NC. The service will also be available to view on the Cape Hatteras Baptist Church Facebook page.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Cape Hatteras Methodist Men – PO Box 1591 Buxton, NC 27920.


China's first international bitcoin conference called Global Bitcoin Summit (GBS) 2014, will be held from May 10-11. The location of the conference will be China's capital, Beijing, at the China National Convention Center. The Global Bitcoin Summit 2014 is the first of its kind ever to take place in China.
At the end of 2012, bitcoin startups began to pop up in China and found a foothold in the country. Within a year, many new bitcoin startups came to the foreground and began work in China and elsewhere. The aim of the Global Bitcoin Summit 2014 is to display the latest development and news in the bitcoin community. Furthermore, it is to give everyone the opportunity to learn and explore about the progress and development of bitcoin in the Chinese market.
The event organizers also say that the aim of the GBS is to further expound on the future of bitcoin in the country and to promote the digital currency creation in the Asian market and on the global level. The conference will provide an ideal setting for bitcoin enthusiasts to come in, contact with each other, learn and share about the bitcoin innovation.
"Based on a win-win cooperation, GBS provides an excellent opportunity to help attendees to find suitable platforms, build a bridge for better communications, and promote the development of industries and the growth of individual business," the official website for the conference states.
The conference is being produced by BitFund.PE, a bitcoin-related private equity and UBM China, the country's biggest commercial exhibition organizer. Something to take note of, BitFund.PE has funded the BitShares project, a decentralized digital currency and derivatives trading platform.
BTC China's CEO Bobby Lee, bitcoin investor Roger Ver, Anthony di Iorio, director at Bitcoin Alliance of Canada, Xu Star, founder of OKCoin will be key speakers at the GBS conference. For a more comprehensive list of the speakers at the conference, visit here.
The first day will display a keynote address, panel discussions, an investment cooperation workshop and a VIP banquet as indicated by the initial event announcement. The second day will feature information related to bitcoin application and digital currency mining.
Speaking with CoinDesk, Hitters Xu, organizer of the event, revealed that the conference will consist of both English-language and Chinese-language speakers.
"[GBS] will open a window for both Chinese bitcoin fans and world bitcoin fans, updating them on the newest ideas and technologies in bitcoin field, [while letting the world] know what is really happening in China," Xu said.

APIL: Government must ban cold calling
By Mark Dugdale on	 March 9, 2018 Injury, News, Regulation
The government must stop dithering and act now to ban cold calling for personal injury claims, the president of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has said ahead of a crucial debate in Parliament on 12 March.
Brett Dixon was speaking ahead of the final stages of debate on the Financial Guidance and Claims Bill in the House of Commons.
The Financial Guidance and Claims Bill initially only included a ban on pension cold calling, but an amendment widening its scope to claims management companies was introduced in the House of Lords.
Some 895 million nuisance calls being made last year that chased an injury claim for an accident that may or may not have occurred, or other insurance-related matter, according to Aviva.
But Dixon and APIL remain unhappy with the bill's contents.
"There is a clear public demand for a ban on cold calling, yet the government has rowed back on its commitment to stop this epidemic which bedevils people across this country," Dixon explained.
"Its proposal to control cold calling by changing the rules on consent will do nothing to stop unscrupulous marketing organisations from taking advantage of vulnerable people."
Dixon said: "No-one would knowingly consent to being cold-called about a personal injury claim. The idea is unthinkable. Consent may be appropriate for other types of marketing but it has no place in the field of personal injury."
"It is intrusive, exploitative and has a pernicious impact on society. The government is willing to ban cold calling in other areas, such as pensions, so its reluctance to do the same for personal injury is incomprehensible."
"A recent YouGov survey found that more than two thirds of people would support a ban," he said. "This is not controversial. It is time for the government to deliver."
New research by National Accident Helpline has found that British consumers continue to suffer from nuisance calls, with as many as one in five people being cold called at least once per day.
The national study provides a map of the regions that are most targeted by cold callers, with people living in the Northeast, Wales and Yorkshire and the Humber most likely to be the victims of unsolicited calls.
The survey of more than 100,000 UK residents also found that 50% of those aged over 65 in the West Midlands are cold called at least once a day.
Simon Trott, managing director of National Accident Helpline, said: "Cold calling continues to be a blight on the UK, with many people still being cold called every day."
"Scam cold callers are sometimes able to extort people's personal information or bank details whilst on the line, defrauding consumers of their money. We have also seen evidence of cold callers encouraging consumers to bring fraudulent claims."
"We believe that the public needs to be protected from this, and that's why we are calling for the government to implement our action plan, to end nuisance calls for good."

UK Issues Guidance That Companies That Cannot Support Their Pension Obligations Should Not Pay Dividends
Groom Benefits Brief
Elizabeth Thomas Dold
Mark Lofgren
Louis Mazawey
Seth Perretta
David Powell
Jeff Witt
On March 4, 2019, The Pension Regulator ("TPR"), the United Kingdom's primary regulator for pension schemes, released its "Annual funding statement 2019 for defined benefit pension schemes" (the "Funding Statement"). While the Funding Statement provides guidance on a number of areas of scheme governance, including the risk factors that trustees should evaluate when managing mature pension schemes, perhaps the most significant new guidance relates to corporate dividends.
As background, the UK government has been proposing since March 2018 to tighten the protection around pension funds following a number of high-profile plan sponsor collapses. TPR has the key role in this as it operates the Notifiable Events Framework, which is similar to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") "Early Warning Program" and serves to protect the UK Pension Protection Fund and oversee deficit recovery plans for underfunded pensions.
The Funding Statement expresses TPR's concern that some employers have prioritized shareholders at the expense of making payments to schemes to mitigate underfunding. To address this concern, TPR has provided guidance and suggested that it will focus on this issue when engaging with schemes in 2019. Specifically, TPR stated three expectations on pension trustees and employers regarding dividends:
Where dividends and other shareholder distributions exceed agreed upon deficit recovery contributions, TPR expects a strong funding target and recovery plans to be relatively short.
If the employer is tending to weak or weak, TPR expects deficit recovery contributions to be larger than shareholder distributions unless the recovery plan is short and the funding target is strong.
If the employer is weak and unable to support the scheme, TPR expects the payment of shareholder distributions to have ceased.
TPR has the authority to direct how and over what period a funding deficit should be funded. Accordingly, it could intervene should a company pay dividends or engage in other activity where value leaves a company while the company has an obligation to support an underfunded scheme and require companies to stop making dividend payments.
US companies considering acquisitions in the UK and global governance committees of US-based multinational companies will want to consider these tightening requirements for underfunded UK pension plans. Also, while US regulators do not currently have broad authority to direct US companies to cease making dividend payments – and they have a number of tools already at their disposal, including the power to terminate a plan, enforce controlled group liabilities, and impose liens – keep in mind that policymakers sometimes look overseas for ideas. US plan sponsors that elected certain funding relief are already required to make additional contributions to underfunded US pension plans if the sponsor pays "extraordinary dividends."

Feel Better Now? Cubs Shut Out Braves For First 2010 Victory
By Al Yellon@bleedcubbieblue Updated Apr 9, 2010, 7:30am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Feel Better Now? Cubs Shut Out Braves For First 2010 Victory
If you feel good this morning about the Cubs' 2-0 win over the Braves, imagine how the players feel after finally getting that "0" out of the win column.
I thought the Braves might have enough to challenge the Phillies for the NL East title, or at least contend for the wild card, before the season started. Turns out that's an accurate assessment. The Cubs lost two of three to a pretty good ballclub with solid pitching. Rookie Jason Heyward appears as advertised, a rookie of the year candidate.
Or would you rather be the Mariners? They were expected to contend, but lost three of four to a not-so-great Athletics team. Or maybe you'd like to wake up this morning a member of the White Sox? They lost two of three to the Indians, a club that's likely destined for the AL Central basement. The Red Sox, Dodgers and Rockies, all playoff teams in 2009, all looking forward to repeats this year, all lost two of three in their opening series.
I've written this before, but it bears repeating: Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. People here were reacting to the two losses in the Braves series like they were playoff losses. Relax a little; it's way too early to panic. More on last night's win after the jump.
Lou Piniella definitely picked the right game to give Tyler Colvin his first start of the year. Colvin slammed his first major league home run off Tommy Hanson in his second at-bat of the year in the second inning. That and Marlon Byrd's solo homer, his second this season, in the fourth, were the only Cub runs. That is, I admit, a cause for concern -- since Opening Day, the Cubs offense hasn't exactly pounded the ball, scoring two runs in each of the subsequent two games. Give some credit to the pitchers -- both Hanson and Jair Jurrjens are among the top righthanders in the National League.
But so is Randy Wells, coming off last night's six shutout innings. Wells gave up only five singles and a double, along with a pair of walks, and got two double plays exactly when he needed them, to end Atlanta rallies in both the fifth and sixth innings.
Lou apparently intends to make Sean Marshall into a taller version of "Everyday Eddie" Guardado; Marshall made his third appearance in as many games, retiring both hitters he faced. Esmailin Caridad threw a nice inning, and Carlos Marmol registered his first save of the year. Marmol wasn't as sharp as he might have been; he was called on to get four outs, so he threw more pitches than many closers do (25) and didn't throw as many strikes as you'd like to see (only 15). Nevertheless, he ended the game with a perfect backdoor slider to Melky Cabrera for a called strike.
Now, what to do with Colvin? Lou said before the season even started that he was going to try to get Colvin three starts a week. The Reds are throwing three righthanders against the Cubs this weekend, so I'd be almost certain Colvin will start one of the three games, maybe in center field to give Byrd a day off. Expect Xavier Nady to make his first start in right field tonight; Colvin may wind up replacing him in the later innings.
So, the Cubs finish their first series of the year exactly one game behind the Cardinals. And the Pirates. You don't really expect the Pirates to be in that spot all year, do you? Incidentally, that's precisely where the 2008 Cubs stood after three games. Patience, and on to Cincinnati.

Pledging Q & A
Our site plan is almost finalized and the Capital Campaign well under way. You can read more about our latest updates and visioning process below.
Recent Plan Updates (12/1/20)
An earlier iteration of the architectural plans was shared with the congregation at Coffee Hour on July 26, 2020 and in a follow-up email. Those schematics included the addition of an Advocacy or Day Center intended to be used, primarily, by our neighbors experiencing homelessness to check email, do a load of laundry, meet with a social worker, or take a shower. Based on your feedback and further discussion, the current revision has moved what is currently being called the "Day Center" to the former stand-alone preschool building. This better addresses the concern about how the space will be shared with Sunday School, since those classrooms already have a number of cabinets in them and have ample space for storing supplies and fold-up or stackable child-height furniture.
This will also help us avoid doing any remodeling in that area until we know more about what the needs of the Day Center are. We will, however, install a stackable washer/dryer, shower and rear exit. The location will also better connect this building to the Showers of Blessings on Saturdays, and give the Sunday School children access to the attached existing side play yard.
Although an earlier iteration moved the main play yard from its current location, grading issues caused us to eliminate that plan. However, we are still able to convert the areas between the buildings into a welcoming courtyard area. Church offices and the Friendship Lounge/Youth area will now be located in the old wing of the church building as contemplated in our original plans.
The Friendship Lounge will also serve as a gathering area for other fellowship activities when not occupied by the youth. Additionally, because our goal is to maximize the usability of all of our spaces, we'll replace the heavy chapel chairs used in the Nursery with stackable chairs and a fold-up conference table—so the area can serve as a meeting room during the week.
Other feedback led us to shift the moveable altar and other liturgical elements from the side chapel area to an east wall of the church (near the acolytes' former seating area). This makes the outdoor spaces more accessible through the new doors on the north wall of the sanctuary. And, by removing the existing three pews and the accompanying privacy screen, the entire side area becomes completely flexible space which could be used for an orchestra, an expanded family area, or more intimate worship space as the need arises.
St. Andrew's Future
Imagine St. Andrew's in 2048. What do you see? Your vestry considered that question as we embarked on a process of strategic planning in early 2016. In the wake of the campus fires that fall, through a series of vigorous discussions, a vision of St. Andrew's future emerged–a North Star to guide the path ahead. To assist us in making our dreams reality, we engaged the services of an architecture firm and capital campaign consultants.
In the conceptual phase with domusstudio, we've learned how updated, expanded, and replaced facilities will best reflect our vision. Likewise, VIP Consulting has helped us launch a very successful capital campaign (as of 4/1/19, we are at $1.3M on our way to a $2M goal). Attached is the campaign brochure, a letter of commitment and our current conceptual plans. We invite you to join us in committing to our audacious goal as we answer God's call to fulfill St. Andrew's mission in a hungry world.
Audacious Goal:
This document reiterates our current mission statement, reflects the core values of the parish identified in the strategic planning process, and lists the audacious vision we have for our future.
Visioning Diagram:
This diagram encapsulates the idea that we believe our journey of discipleship calls us to do more than just worship together on Sundays. Rather, our vision has us living into other areas as well, including Learning Collaboratively, Serving Others, and Building Community.

SMITH - Cherry pie and the Fair Grove Senior Center
BY MARILYN SMITH
The ribbon-cutting and open house at the new Fair Grove Senior Center was April 24, with a huge crowd; 232 was the count I was given. The hamburgers and hot dogs cooked by individuals associated with O'Bannon Bank were delicious, as were all the salads, deviled eggs, baked beans and desserts.
To increase prosperity, state should increase freedom
By Dean Stansel, PhD. Southern Methodist University
Missouri's economy has lagged behind the rest of the nation for many years. My recent article in the Missouri Policy Journal examined how Missouri's economy, and its restrictions on labor markets, compare to other states. It's not a pretty picture, and the voters' recent approval of a minimu…
SMITH: Pie snob followup
I guess you've heard that there is more than one way to skin a cat. In reference to piecrust, Barbara Austin, one of my readers, sent her piecrust recipe. She got a kick out of my pie snob article. She tried my mother's recipe, and it was really good, but she has one her daughter-in-law gave…

This is for another Jim, just as perturbed as I am:
Schoolcraft laid groundwork for today's conservation strategy
By Francis Skalicky Missouri Department of Conservation
Two hundred years ago this month (November), Henry Rowe Schoolcraft headed out in search of lead, and throughout the next three months, wrote his way into southern Missouri history.
ROCKWOOD: Seeing what's right on Thanksgiving
This column originally was published in 2017.
When our middle child, Jack, was in kindergarten, he and his dad had a Sunday morning tradition. They'd flip to the back page of the comics in the Sunday paper and try to find the six differences between two similar pictures in the Slylock Fox cartoon strip. It was a race to see who could fi…
CAMPBELL: The best of times ... or the worst of times
Thanksgiving has come and gone, yet the holidays are an excellent time to be thankful for all the blessings that have been bestowed upon us as a nation. Today the "holidays" can be credibly defined as Thanksgiving through Jan. 1. Or, if you watch the Hallmark Channel, from July through Jan. 1.

ROCKWOOD: 20 secrets in 20 years
BY Gwen Rockwood
Last weekend, Tom and I went out to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. An acquaintance we bumped into said congratulations and then asked us, "So what's the secret?" Honestly, I didn't have a quick answer. She seemed almost annoyed, as if we were keeping the secret recipe all to ourselves.
HAMILTON: Love with a side of turkey
It's been more than a quarter-century since our family gathered at Grandma's for Thanksgiving dinner.
SMITH: Celebrating Christmas
One of my favorite photos was taken during a Christmas parade at Fair Grove. It features me, Aunt Dazel and Mom. We were standing on Hood's Store porch (on Main Street), waiting for the parade to pass by. I don't remember what year, but it probably took place in the early 1980s. Accompanying…
CAMPBELL: Our republic has freedom, but can we keep it?
As Thanksgiving approaches, I am most thankful for all of God's blessings that I have received during my life, which include my home and family. I also am thankful for the many freedoms we have in this country, but am concerned about our future more than at any time in decades.
Letter: Dallas County Library has excellent staff
Kathy Obermeier
I would like to praise the Dallas County Library staff. They provide an exceptionally good and customer-friendly library. I love to read but have very poor eyesight. I'm blind in one eye, have cataracts and have astigmatism in my other eye.
Rockford Files: It's about time
By Gwen Rockford
There are some topics I find myself reading about as often as possible. Time management is one of them. When a new magazine article about it comes across my news app, I pounce on it, read it and bookmark it so I can read it again.
Letter: Kindness of strangers, small courtesies are appreciated
Stella Taylor
Recently I came through the checkout chute at Woods Supermarket with a full cart of groceries. A couple rows ahead of me, a man, tall, slender, maybe middle-aged, emerged carrying two small bags. We were both headed for the north door.
A Tale or Two: I'm a pie snob and proud of it
I didn't know until a couple of weekends ago that I was a pie snob. OK, here is why my friend and I have declared, "We are pie snobs." We only like our pies. You see, we both use my mother's piecrust recipe. It is the best, or at least my friend and I believe it is.

Letter: Making abortion illegal won't make it go away
By Ronna Ford
Thank you for the coverage of our race in your latest edition (Buffalo Reflex, Oct. 24, 2018). I was pleased with the article about the state representative race with one exception. You quote me as saying, "I don't want women to not be able to get an abortion in Missouri."

I am proudly endorsed by Missouri Right to Life. My Christian beliefs lead me to being pro-life as well as wanting to improve the quality of life for all Missourians.
Urban and rural leaders voice concerns with Amendment 1
By Eric Bohl, Missouri Farm Bureau
The November election is just around the corner, and Missouri voters will decide on several ballot issues. The proposal with the widest potential impacts to our state is Amendment 1. Its supporters call it "Clean Missouri" because of its nominal ethics reforms. The amendment would limit lobb…
A Tale or Two: Age is relevant
It depends on what stage of life you happen to be in, as to what you think about the other person's age. My mother lived to be 95. She would tell something about "this old lady" or "that old man," then smile and say, "Well, I guess I'm older than they are."
Ozarks RFD: Never on Tuesday
Weekly newspaper people live by two cardinal rules: (1) never miss deadline, and (2) never on Tuesday, production day.
Rockwood Files: Mama meets a machine
We have a new "pet" in the family. It doesn't eat. Doesn't ever need a vet appointment. It can do lots of cool tricks. And here's the best part — it never makes a mess.
Campbell: Whatever happened to Randolph Scott?
This question was asked by the Statler Brothers in their 1973 country music hit of the same name, written by Don S. Reid and Harold Wilson Reid. The short answer is that you can watch Randolph Scott sometime during just about any day or night on the Grit television channel, and very often on…
Nobody picked up Daddy's ax
Cooler weather and a body's thoughts naturally turn to outdoor things, such as cutting wood, chopping sprouts and burning brush piles.
Rockwood Files: Handle with care
About 17 years ago, my husband, Tom, did a wonderful thing. For our third wedding anniversary, he booked a massage for me at a local spa. At the time, I wasn't even sure it was something I wanted, although it sounded fancy. I was in my late 20s, but I'd never had a massage.
Bohl: NAFTA renegotiation ends in gains for American farmers
American farmers chalked up several victories in the new free trade agreement that the United States struck with Mexico and Canada. The countries agreed to replace the quarter-century-old North American Free Trade Agreement mere hours before their end-of-September negotiation deadline.
A Tale or Two: Kissing games
A few months ago I wrote about the tree-shaped mailbox stand my brother Joe Wayne built for our mother. When Mom passed away, the family sold her house. During the years since her death, we had no idea where the mailbox stand was. Then one day Amy Gardner saw a photo of the stand, complete …

Winfrey: Pumpkin is my favorite season
By Britta Winfrey brittaw@buffaloreflex.com

Itch though they might, I'll never again bellyache about chigger bites — not after the tale I heard a Sooner poet tell.
Campbell: Dining out should be a nonthreatening event
As most people probably are aware, the latest trend among the crazies on the political left is to enter a restaurant and harass Republicans who are members of the Trump administration cabinet. Or the victims may be senators or congressmen who have voted in a way the anarchists didn't like.

Insight – Melon District, Barcelona, Spain
WITH ITS ROOFTOP TERRACE, SWIMMING POOL AND ULTRA-SPACIOUS LIVING QUARTERS, MELON DISTRICT IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL STUDENTACCOMMODATION BY A LONG WAY
With the possible exception of the super-sized rooms of an Oxbridge undergraduate, student accommodation brings to mind depressing, insalubrious digs. But a new seven-storey student accommodation complex in Barcelona called, exotically, the Melon District (just don't refer to it as a hall of residence) is challenging this preconception. Designed by Zurich-based architect Gus Wustemann in collaboration with Barcelona communications agency Animal, it is set to open in September, and is more luxe than louche, more chic commune than Kafkaesque rabbit warren.
Located, glamorously, in Barcelona's central Poble Sec area, the building was originally designed by architect Elanch y Concha, but Wustemann was responsible for the interior design. It contains flats, some long-stay, some short-stay, each with ten rooms accommodating nine students altogether, all of whom have their own bedroom with en suite shower. There is also a single and a double studio flat. Reinforcing this idea of communal living is an ultra-spacious 'lounge' (per flat) with an open-plan kitchen and dining area, as well as a roof terrace with a swimming pool. In addition, there is a reception, ground-floor café and parking lot.
This emphasis on the communal is partly the result of consultation with prospective students. 'They said they would like living rooms,' says Wustemann. 'So the social aspect is very important.'
Melon District is not luxe in the fashionable, Boho-chic sense, so forget aubergine banquettes and chandeliers. The brief was to create 'a new low-budget student accommodation', which partly explains why it is fitted out with no-fuss, utilitarian materials – white polyurethane for floors, walls in concrete or covered with backlit polycarbonate panels,'bought off-the-peg from builder's warehouses'. But there is another reason for this: clearly, Wustemann has a thing about spit 'n' sawdust industrial materials, which he deems more right-on than 'bourgeois', polished surfaces. Certainly, surfaces as defiantly unfinished as those on the ceilings of Melon District's bedrooms would be unacceptable by the standards of, say, your typical Chelsea Harbour interior decorator.
But some of Wustemann's rhetoric is naive. He earnestly equates these stripped-down surfaces with 'authenticity' and 'purity'. Yet their studied ruggedness is part of a highly mannered, long-established architectural idiom which first came into vogue in the 1970s, the chaotic, unfinished aesthetic of Frank Gehry's home in Santa Monica (built in 1978) being a seminal example of this.
Wustemann's point is that taste is subjective – 'There is no such thing as beautiful or non-beautiful,' he says. Yet strangely conflicting with this admirable democratic philosophy and Functionalist aesthetic is a Romanticism, even a spirituality. The lounges' walls are painted Russian icon gold because they are the 'heart' of the building. He calls the ovens in the kitchen 'an altar'. The white floors are referred to, inexplicably, as 'sacred'. These quasi-religious metaphors are at odds with Wustemann's description of his practice as being 'free of any judgment or programme'. Still, Melon District's occupants will be blissfully unaware of all this chin-stroking theorising.
Poolside cocktails on the roof terrace? Midnight swims in balmy Barcelona? Interiors mixing funky concrete with white-walled Minimalism? Student accommodation it might be, but not as we know it. •

Chipotle's long-claimed aversion to marketing is no longer a luxury it can afford.
A Chipotle burrito bowl. Image source: Chipotle Mexican Grill.
Let me be clear from the outset: I'm bullish on Chipotle Mexican Grill's (NYSE:CMG) stock. Yet it's impossible for even someone who's optimistic about the burrito chain's prospects to deny that its executives seem to be getting desperate.
This was the thing that kept running through my head when I listened to its executives offer remarks and respond to questions on Chipotle's third-quarter conference call last month.
Between Co-CEOs Steve Ells and Monty Moran, and head of marketing Mark Crumpacker, the team announced a dizzying array of new initiatives designed to repair the damage to its reputation after multiple food safety issues came to light over the past 12 months.
They introduced a plan to cut $100 million in costs and capital expenditures, hinted at new menu innovations such as dessert, said that they'll soon be rolling out new equipment in their restaurants to reduce the time customers stand in line, and discussed the results of its recent promotional campaign, Chiptopia, the first loyalty program in its history as a company.
But the thing that caught my attention most was Chipotle's decision to invest heavily in marketing, something it hadn't previously done.
The first revolved around food safety advancements, designed to communicate what Chipotle has done over the past few months to ensure the safety of its food.
The second involved an animated short film, distributed digitally and over social media to rebuild trust in the Chipotle brand.
And the third campaign, run across a variety of media channels, spoke to Chipotle's core value proposition of using quality ingredients.
In order to accelerate that momentum, we are considering a national television advertising. Because our ingredients-range campaign tested positively in terms of customer perception and brand trust, we are running a 30-second ad from that campaign in multiple test markets. If the test reveals that television advertising delivers the results we want, we may begin to integrate national television buys into our advertising campaigns.
The marketing we do at Chipotle is unlike that of any other fast food brand. The reason for this is simple: Very early on we decided to spend more on our ingredients and less on our marketing.
It's always been our belief that better quality food prepared by hand and served by excellent teams would be the most powerful marketing of all. In fact, we were serving better ingredients, including pasteurized dairy, local produce, and meats without antibiotics or hormones long before there was even significant customer demand for such things.
Over time, this has created powerful differentiation between Chipotle and other fast food brands. This approach has served us well and our ongoing marketing research makes us confident that this is the case. Chipotle has become quite buzz-worthy with awareness coming from social medial, public relations, advertising, and our local and event marketing programs.
My objective here isn't to point out the abrupt about-face performed by Chipotle in a little over 18 months' time, but rather to note how this could impact the chain's returns going forward. To this end, if Chipotle will now have to start marketing heavily where it once didn't feel the need to, this will compress its profitability margins and thereby weigh on shareholder returns.
In sum, while I'm still bullish on Chipotle's stock, it'd be foolish to suggest that all of this shouldn't impact one's investment thesis.

the compound is not water soluble, meaning much of its effectiveness can be lost when eaten. Many have decided that vaping is the better option because the compound diffuses directly into the bloodstream after entering the lungs, thus increasing its effectiveness.
Waiting for an edible to take effect isn't always an option for those who use CBD to treat seizures and other serious conditions, and vaping allows the user to receive greater effects with a smaller dose. If you decide that vaping is right for you, there are some things you'll need to know to get the best experience.
It's simple enough to pick up a vaporizer by illadelph, or whatever brand you choose, but you'll have to make sure that it suits your needs for CBD oil. You'll have a couple of main choices when it comes to selecting your vape. The first of these is the vape pen. This is a simple choice that comes with CBD concentrate placed directly on the heating coils, so you won't have to worry about tanks or complex parts. This disadvantage to this choice is that the coils will burn out over time, and replacing them can be more expensive than buying new liquid.
This leads to the second choice—tank vapes. These are the popular e-liquid vapes most are familiar with because of the large "smoke" clouds they produce. Vapes with refillable tanks are the best option because the coils and wick tend to be of a higher quality since they're meant for extended use. Just be sure that you're buying one that is compatible with CBD oil. Cotton wicks, for example, are ill suited for CBD because the oil can harden on the wick and render the vape useless.
Once you've found your equipment, you'll also want to be sure to check where your CBD oil is coming from. As of now, cannabinoid regulation is convoluted in the US. Unfortunately, it's always possible that vendors may try to pull one over on customers because of this. It's a good idea to request test data that will back up any claims made by labels. If you can't find this data from a third party source, then it's best to look elsewhere for your product.
If you're shopping for liquids online, you'll want to find a site that is dedicated solely to CBD. They should also be transparent about the production of their product. Find out if you can track their production from the time the cannabis is grown to when the liquid comes to their store. They should also be making all required FDA disclosures, and most reputable sites will have discounts for disabilities. You may want to keep track of CBD News for more information.
In rare cases, it's possible some users could have an allergic reaction to chemicals or other materials used in vapes. It's also possible for small amounts of metal contaminants, such as lead and cadmium, to be found in some vapes. While these amounts have been deemed negligible, they could be considered a risk for people who have never smoked. While it's unlikely that this could cause any real health concern for users, it's impossible to overstate how important it is to research all vape equipment and liquids used.

Q: Writing a correspondence between Oracle and XSD data types My task is to create a conversion from Oracle metadata to XSD formatting to ensure correct translation of data from Oracle to XML.
To accomplish this I need to provide a correspondence table for the Oracle data types and XSD data types. The following is such a table for numbers. Right part of the expression is Oracle's Number datatype format, and the left one are the tags to be inserted into the "restriction" element of xs:decimal tag in XSD. Then the explanation goes.
Number(null,null) <-> totalDigits=38 : any 38 digits with/without decimal point
Number(4,2) <-> totalDigits=4; fractionDigits=2 :
any 4 digits with decimal point from a missing one to the one in the middle of 4 digits; but what about "1600" ? it matches XSD, but not sure its ok for Oracle's Number(4,2)
Number(4,0) <-> totalDigits=4;fractionDigits=0 :
integer with 4 digits
(1) Is my understanding correct?
Could you provide me with a better match between Oracle and XSD numeric data types?
(2) Is there a built-in way to generate XSD from Oracle table?

A: This restriction is not a good idea. The number type is defined as NUMBER(precision, scale), see examples in Table 2-2 in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements001.htm.
You have to generate regexp pattern for the restriction, e.g.:
NUMBER(4)   "-?[0-9]{1,4}"
NUMBER(4,2)   "-?([0-9]{1,2})?(\.[0-9]{1,2})?"
NUMBER(4,-2)   "0|-?[0-9]{1,4}0{2}"
NUMBER(2,-4)   "0|-?[0-9]{1,2}0{4}"
NUMBER(2,4)   "0|-?0?\.0{2}[0-9]{1,2}"
For NUMBER types with positive scale you can use combination of totalDigits, fractionDigits, minExclusive and maxExclusive.
NUMBER(4)   totalDigits="4" fractionDigits="0"
NUMBER(4,2)   totalDigits="4" fractionDigits="2" minExclusive="-100" maxExclusive="100"
NUMBER(2,4)   totalDigits="4" fractionDigits="4" minExclusive="-.01" maxExclusive=".01"
