"Words create words," the great Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel would tell his children. Which is helpful (and convicting) when we're thinking about the words we choose. It's challenging, even heartbreaking when we think of some of the words spoken that have been over our lives. How do we reject words that have harmed us? That may have been said with good intentions, but have left scars none the less?
Time to reject some words, friends.
wanted to be picked first for the team. "Pick me, Jesus, please pick me." In adult life, it played out through endless people pleasing to the detriment of my health and sense of self.
Slowly, year by year, failure by failure, I've realized that Paul believed it when he said: "Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Roman 5:8).
The way we've used the word "in-spite" has made me feel undeserving of the grace of God. And even though I may be underserving, we've made that the point. We've bolded that part, rather than the love and grace part. It creates a false sense of humility. The kind that doesn't build us up to love and good works, but to performance and striving and working for worthiness. An earning grace kind of faith.
How we see God directly influences how we see others. If there's a chance I'm not worthy, there's a chance you're not, too. It becomes a race for worthiness, who's in and who's out, who's better and who's not good enough, who wins and who loses. It fosters, if not creates, self-righteousness, a sense that others can be left behind because, after all, we don't deserve it, and only a few will ever make it, and goodness, I hope I do.
Our worthiness has never been the point. Ever.
God loves us in the spaces where we can't possibly love or accept ourselves. THAT is the beauty and miracle of grace. God shocks and stuns us into love by scooping the entirety of our lives into himself. It's that old cliché: God doesn't love us IF we change, he loves us so we can change.
All true and good transformation begins with love and grace.
"Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this word and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish!" Eph 2:8 (MSG).
His love and grace is a gift. Not in spite of who you are and what you've done, but because of what you've done (for healing and restoration) and because of who you are: a child of God.
You are not an offense to God. You are his joy.
Drop the words "in-spite" and "underserved" and humbly yet boldly accept the gift that's always been yours.
This is wonderful Lizzy. I taking myself on an "in spite of" detox. Just had an operation in st Vincents all good but tomorrow Dr will talk about "my fatty liver " I told him not to mention it because therapy is working fine. I have to stop saying "God loves me (in spite of ) me being fat." Love.
Liz, I do not under stand this line.
It means that Jesus love for you isn't IN SPITE of you. God wraps the entirety of you up into love. All the things you are, and all the things you've done. Hope that helps!
Hi Liz…SOOOOO good!! Every part of this rings true for me and I'm sure SO many.
Since this is a series of "words" I'd like to take this moment to say how much YOUR words speak life and truth in such a lovely and grace filled way. You are so gifted in taking scripture and illuminating it to us in a real life, workable way.
Thank you so much for overcoming your "lies of the evil one" of doubt and not being enough(ish) stuff and being wonderfully obedient in having this devotional.
Keep on the path. you are a good and faithful servant to me and soooo many!


Ala Al Qassem is exhausted. The 58-year-old mother of four is battling cancer and tires easily from the chemotherapy treatment. But it's more than that.
When they married in 1995 this wasn't a problem and they lived happily in her childhood home where she herself was born. But then in 2001, during the second Intifada, or uprising, Israel changed its policies and since has denied nearly all requests for what's called family unification, namely permission for a Palestinian ID holder to legally live with their spouse inside Israel.
The Muna's were a middle class Jerusalem family who've now risen to local prominence for their famed Educational Bookstore, which serves as an intellectual and socio-cultural hub in East Jerusalem.
The family – six sons, one daughter, and now 24 grandchildren – live together in a compound of nine homes they've built in Ras Alamoud by the Mount of Olives. But before the wars in 1948 and 1967, the family home life looked different. The Muna family owned property in the Old City, as well as the neighbourhood of Musrara, which after the 1948 war was split between the west Israeli side and Palestinian east side (then Jordanian controlled). The Muna's lost their west Musrara properties, which Jewish Israelis then moved into, and ultimately left the Old City and settled into a remaining home on the Musrara east side.

Saadanius hijazensis es una especie extinta de primate catarrino y único representante del género Saadanius que vivió durante el Oligoceno, muy relacionado con el antepasado común de los monos del viejo mundo y homínidos, los cuales en conjunto integran el parvorden Catarrhini. Está representado por una única especie, Saadanius hijazensis, de la que sólo se conoce un fragmento de cráneo, tentativamente fechado hace entre 29 y 28 millones de años. Fue descubierto en 2009 en el oeste de Arabia Saudita cerca de La Meca y fue descrito en 2010, luego de una comparación entre catarrinos vivos y fósiles.

Saadanius tenía el rostro más largo que los catarrinos vivientes y carecía de los senos frontales desarrollados, presentes en los catarrinos modernos. Sin embargo, poseía un conducto auditivo óseo (ectotimpánico) y dientes similares a los de los catarrinos vivientes. El descubrimiento de Saadanius puede contribuir a la respuesta de algunos interrogantes acerca de la evolución y origen del antepasado común de los monos del viejo mundo (cercopitécidos) y los homínidos.<ref>N. del T.: en inglés el término ape (simio) se usa principalmente para denominar a la familia Hominoidea, la cual incluye a los grandes simios (humanos, chimpancés, orangutanes, gorilas y gibones; pero también se usa como sinónimo de monkey (cercopitécidos y platirrinos) o para referirse a cualquier primate carente de cola con apariencia humana. En español el término homínido se usa para referirse estrictamente a los grandes simios, excluyendo a los gibones.</ref>

 Descubrimiento Saadanius es conocido a partir de un solo espécimen, el holotipo, llamado SGS-UM 2009-002, salvaguardado en Jeddah, Arabia Saudita, en la Unidad de Paleontología del Servicio Geológico de Arabia (cuyas siglas en inglés son SGS). Su localidad tipo, o el lugar en donde se descubrió, fue en el lecho fósil de una roca sedimentaria ferrosa oolítica en la mitad de la Formación Shumaysi localizada en la esquina suroeste de Harrat Al Ujayfa, en el oeste de Arabia Saudita, cerca de La Meca. Este espécimen fue descubierto en febrero de 2009 por el paleontólogo Iyad Zalmout, que había viajado a la región en busca de ancestros de ballenas y fósiles de dinosaurio. Mientras buscaba fósiles de dinosaurios en una zona que, de acuerdo a los mapas que disponía, contenía capas rocosas procedentes del Cretácico (145-65 millones de años), Zalmout encontró la mandíbula de una criatura similar a los hipopótamos, llamada antracotérido (un pariente cercano de las ballenas y los hipopótamos), que data del Eoceno u Oligoceno. Esto indicaba que las capas de rocas eran mucho más recientes de las estimadas en los mapas. Al día siguiente, descubrió unos dientes fósiles, que reconoció de inmediato como los de un primate. Zalmout envió por correo electrónico una foto de los dientes al paleontólogo Philip D. Gingerich, con quien trabajó como becario de postdoctorado. Gingerich, experto en primates antiguos y ballenas, confirmó que se trataba efectivamente de un primate. Debido a su apretado itinerario, Zalmout debió dejar los fósiles descubiertos todavía incrustados en la roca por algunos días debido a que su recolección requería varios días de trabajo. El fósil fue recuperado poco después por una expedición conjunta entre el SGS y la Universidad de Míchigan.

El fósil no fue descrito formalmente hasta 2010, cuando se anunció su descubrimiento en la revista Nature. El hallazgo fue fechado en torno a 28 o 29 millones años atrás sobre la base de la comparación de fósiles de antracotéridos y penungulados (miembros del grupo que incluye a los elefantes y damanes) encontrados en las inmediaciones, con fósiles hallados en depósitos africanos de edad similar. Sin embargo, la fecha aún no ha sido confirmada por otras técnicas de datación. El nombre de género, Saadanius, proviene de la palabra árabe, saadan (), que es el término común para referirse a los simios y monos. El nombre de la especie, hijazensis, es una referencia a la región al Hijaz, en la que se descubrió.

 Espécimen tipo Saadanius tenía un rostro más largo que los catarrinos actuales, en apariencia, más similar a los monos del Nuevo Mundo, a pesar de que era más grande, posiblemente del tamaño de un gibón. Sus caninos grandes y profundamente incrustados, la diastema (espacio) entre los caninos y segundos incisivos, y su cresta sagital (protuberancia ósea a lo largo de la parte superior del cráneo), sugieren que el espécimen era un macho. Estas características son compartidas entre los machos de los monos del Viejo Mundo (cercopitécidos). Saadanius carece de los senos frontales prominente presentes en los catarrinos actuales; sin embargo, al igual que estos, posee un hueso ectotimpánico, o conducto auditivo óseo. Los propliopitecoideos, el grupo basal más antiguo de catarrinos conocidos, que datan de hace 35 a 30 millones de años, carecía de un hueso ectotimpánico completamente desarrollado.

Es espécimen hallado de Saadanius presenta visibles perforaciones craneales en la región frontal, lo cual indica que pudo ser cazado por un carnívoro grande. Una herida punzante en el lado derecho del cráneo pudo haber sido el golpe fatal. Tiene también una marca de mordedura en el trígono frontal.

Al igual que otros primates catarrinos, Saadanius, fue probablemente un trepador, con hábitos arborícolas. Durante el tiempo que existió, el Mar Rojo aún no se había formado, y nuevas plantas y especies animales pudieron haber llegado desde la vecina Eurasia cuando esta convergió con la masa afro-arábiga.

 Filogenia y significancia

La anatomía comparada y el análisis cladístico indican que Saadanius está más estrechamente relacionado con el último antepasado común del grupo corona de los catarrinos, que cualquier otro catarrino fósil conocido, ubicando a los ancestros comunes de los catarrinos en Arabia y África. Otros catarrinos basales, incluyen propliopitecoideos, como Aegyptopithecus y Pliopithecus. Las similitudes más estrechas entre Saadanius y el grupo corona de los catarrinos, en particular su hueso ectotimpánico, sugieren que Saadanius es, de todos los primates fósiles que se conocen, el que más relacionado al último antepasado común de los catarrinos vivientes. Su descubrimiento ha proporcionado nuevos detalles sobre la evolución humana, en particular la división entre los monos del viejo mundo y el linaje de primates que finalmente llevó a los seres humanos. El género Saadanius se consideró por parte de por Zalmout et al., como monofilético dentro de su propia familia y superfamilia, Saadaniidae y Saadanioidea respectivamente, estrechamente relacionadas con los cercopitécidos y hominoideos basales.

El descubrimiento de Saadanius proporciona nuevas pruebas para las diferentes hipótesis propuestas para la apariencia facial de los ancestros de los catarrinos, o su antepasado común. Una reconstrucción basada en los rasgos de los catarrinos actuales, deduce un rostro corto y un cráneo redondeado, similar al de un gibón. Otra reconstrucción, basada en la morfología de los homínidos de comienzos del Mioceno y el cercopitécido basal Victoriapithecus, muestra al último antepasado común con un hocico prominente y la cara alargada, como los babuinos actuales y los fósiles más antiguos de los homínidos y monos del viejo mundo. Las características preservadas de Saadanius, similares a aquellas de los catarrinos más basales, apoyan la última de las hipótesis, de acuerdo con Zalmout et al. Sin embargo, un paleontólogo, Eric Delson, ha advertido que la presión geológica pudo haber distorsionado la forma del cráneo.Saadanius, también puede contribuir a establecer el momento de la división entre los homínidos y los cercopitécidos. Los trabajos paleoantropológicos han colocado habitualmente esta divergencia entre hace 25 y 23 millones de años, pero las estimaciones basadas en análisis genéticos la han situado en el Oligoceno temprano, hace aproximadamente 33 millones de años. A pesar de las predicciones de las pruebas genéticas, el registro fósil contiene escasa evidencia para ubicar el último antepasado común entre el lapso de 30 y 23 millones de años, lo cual apoya la idea de una división más tardía. Sólo algunos dientes de Kamoyapithecus insinúan la existencia de potenciales hominoides basales durante el Oligoceno tardío (entre hace 24 y 27,5 millones de años). Con el descubrimiento de Saadanius'', Zalmout et al. apoyan la hipótesis de una división posterior a la que los datos genéticos sugieren, y la estiman entre 29-28 y 24 millones de años.

Este hallazgo fósil, también ha sido visto por parte de la SGS como un evento importante para Arabia Saudita, ya que enriquece el registro fósil para la región. Como resultado del hallazgo, tanto la SGS como la Universidad de Míchigan están estudiando la posibilidad de una mayor cooperación en exploraciones de campo dentro del país.

Según Salvador Moyá-Solá, investigador del Instituto de Paleontología Miquel Crusafont, España, se tiene muy poco material como para poder saber si este primate derivó hacia la línea evolutiva de los humanos o hacia la de los cercopitecoideos.

Patrick Mackay – Destined From The Beginning To Murder
Patrick Mackay is a serial killer who confessed to murdering eleven people in England in the mid 1970's.
Early Life of Patrick Mackay
As a child, Patrick Mackay was frequently a victim of physical abuse at the hands of his violent, alcoholic father Harold. When Mackay was ten, Harold died from complications of alcoholism and a weak heart. His final words to his son were 'remember to be good'.
Patrick was said to be unable to come to terms with the loss, telling people Harold was still alive and keeping a photograph of his father on his person.
Later in his youth, Patrick Mackay suffered from extreme tantrums and fits of anger, indulged in animal cruelty and arson (at one point setting the pet tortoise on fire), bullied younger children, stole from elderly women's homes and people in the street, and even attempted to kill his mother and aunt.
Patrick Mackay also attempted to kill a younger boy, and later said he'd have succeeded had he not been restrained, and attempted to set fire to a Catholic church. Because of such incidents, he spent his teenage years in and out of mental homes and institutions. At 15, he was diagnosed as a psychopath by a psychiatrist, Dr. Leonard Carr. Dr. Carr predicted Patrick Mackay would grow up into a 'cold, psychopathic killer'.
Adulthood and Murders
As he entered adulthood, Patrick Mackay developed a fascination with Nazism, calling himself "Franklin Bollvolt The First" and filling his flat with Nazi memorabilia. He lived in London and was frequently drunk or on drugs. In 1973, near his mother's home in Kent, he met and was befriended by Father Anthony Crean, a priest. Regardless, Mackay broke into Crean's home and stole a check for £30. Arrested and prosecuted by the police, he was ordered to pay the fine back but never did. The incident caused a rift between the two and Mackay returned to London. It was around this time that Patrick Mackay said that he had drowned a tramp in the River Thames.
On March 21 1975, then aged 22, Mackay used an axe to kill Father Crean, hacking through the victim's skull and watching him bleed to death. He was swiftly arrested and was soon considered by police to be a suspect in at least a dozen other killings over the previous two years, most victims being elderly women who had been stabbed or strangled during robberies. Mackay bragged that he had murdered eleven people.
Patrick Mackay was charged with five murders, but two charges were dropped through lack of evidence. In November 1975 he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. He is reported to be among the 50 or so prisoners in the United Kingdom who have been issued with a whole life tariff and are unlikely ever to be released from prison.

Swartz was a technological genius. Among other achievements, he built a user-edited encyclopedia website before Wikipedia and was a co-creator of RSS, all by age 14. He worked on the foundations of Reddit, which has become one of the internet's largest places of user-exchange, and according to friends, he worked tirelessly to make as much information as he could free to the public, including moving much of the U.S.'s law cases into public domain.
This is just what the 26-year-old Swartz tried to do in the fall of 2010, in a basement of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He downloaded millions of scholarly articles from JSTOR, the familiar database used frequently by me and almost every other privileged post-secondary student, to a laptop linked to one of the institute's computers. But JSTOR caught on, and so did the feds. On Friday, January 11, facing millions of dollars in fines and years in prison for 13 criminal counts ranging from computer fraud to breaking and entering, Swartz committed suicide.
This was a tragic and premature end to a man who held moral convictions alongside skill and intelligence; he fought for the liberation of knowledge and information in a time where the world's powers worship legal convictions uber alles. Swartz was still ascending – he had not yet plateaued.
JSTOR had asked the courts to drop the action concerning them, and asked the government to stop their action as well. But the prosecution went on. I'd like to read the articles from any quarterly that is worth a man's life. Currently, there is no difference in the law between distributing electronically accessed material for personal gain and doing it for the edification and liberation of the public. This case shows there should be.
There is a tendency for those in the armchair to intensify non-existent links between historic events, and it may be that we are missing much from the distance to the man's inner life. But there is still something to be had from recognizing that today—in a country Canada regards as a peer—a man would rather die than face the fate awaiting him for trying to disseminate scholasticism. I see in Swartz's decision a reflection of Socrates's drinking of the hemlock: he lived by the law, and so would suffer as it imperiously wished.
I have to look now at the databases provided by our own institute of higher learning with a whole new respect for the system of it all. The amount of time saved by not having to leaf through dusty, stained journals; being able to log on at home via my own computer, to use the search feature to find the salient points I'm looking for, these are but the adjunct benefits attached to having access to these articles that connect me to the celestial order of academia.
In 18th century England, among other practices, pirates charged with high-seas crimes were hanged and their bodies were left on display in public for several days. This was both an insult to the pirate's corporal body, and, more importantly, a warning to those who viewed it. This is how the laws are treating the criminals of intellectual property laws. A Calgary man was fined $60,000 for sharing two adult movies on a torrent site. A man from Boston faces $675,000 for sharing a music album. This must be similar to the treatment of pirates in Boston in the 1720s.
On June 30, 1704, pirate captain John Quelch met his end on the gallows. His penultimate words were, "I am not afraid of death." Aaron Swartz was treated like a pirate though he was, by all accounts, the furthest thing from one. It's regretful that he had to repeat history in such a manner.

Q: Eclipse C++ including header file from my source folder I'm pretty new to C++ and Eclipse in general so I apologise if I'm missing something fairly obvious.
The problem I'm having is that I'm trying to include a header file in one of my source files but they're in different folders in my project directory. I have no idea how I should be including them. I've uploaded an image showing my problem with the header file I want to include highlighted.

If someone could tell me what '#include' statement I should be using them that would be brilliant.
Thanks!

A: There are a couple of different options to make this work. Simplest is to change the #include to
#include "../Statistics/Statistics.h"

This will work without any other modifications. However, if you move either file, or somehow change the relative path between the two, this will break.
Alternately, you can add the path to the Statistics folder to your compiler's include file search path. Right click on the project name, select Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings and then find the includes files path option for your compiler. For g++, it is -I<path/to/include/folder>. Adding this will make the #include statement work as you currently have it.
A very similar option to the second one is to add the path to the src folder (instead of the Statistics folder) to the includes search path. In this case, you'll have to change the statement to
#include "Statistics/Statistics.h"

A: When you create subfolders in your src folder then each cpp file is compiled in that folder it is located in. Thus, any "" includes need to specify the relative path to get from that folder to another.
In your case, to get from inside the FileInOut folder you need to go back one level and then into the Statistics folder
eg
#include "../Statistics/Statistics.h"

Another alternative is, if you are keeping your includes in your src directory, to add the src directory to the include path. Now when you include you need only specify the path from the src root.
eg.
#include "Statistics/Statistics.h"

on December 14, 2020 December 14, 2020 by Leave a Comment on Harrison Ford Set to Return for 5th 'Indiana Jones' Movie
Harrison Ford is on board for a fifth installment of the Indiana Jones movie series, about 40 years after the first movie was released. The movie is expected to be released in July 2022, when Ford will be 80 years old.
Disney announced the return of Ford in his iconic role in a tweet, saying, "Lucasfilm is in pre-production on the next installment of Indiana Jones. At the helm is James @Mang0ld, director of Ford v Ferrari, and Indy himself, Harrison Ford, will be back to continue his iconic character's journey."
The first Indiana Jones movie, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," came out in 1981, followed by "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" in 1984 and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" in 1989. Then after almost two decades, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was released in 2008.

Design Styles Defined: Your Guide to Traditional Interiors
Christyanne Wheeler
Our current blog series exploring the elements of enduring interior styles got off to a fresh and cozy start when we covered the "hygge" aesthetics of Scandinavian design. Next, we examined the comfortable, clean, and ever-popular American version of Scandi style — modern farmhouse design.
Now, let's shift our focus to the other end of the interior style spectrum and consider one of the most common types of décor: traditional design.
Traditional design is exceptionally familiar; if you're like most Americans, you've probably lived in a home with traditional interiors at some point in your life — or quite possibly for your entire life. Let's explore what defines these familiar spaces and makes them feel so welcoming.
Traditional Interior Design 101
Traditional design is exactly what it sounds like: a classic and comforting décor style that's firmly rooted in the past — but not in any specific era or single period. Instead, it takes most of its cues from a wide range of 18th and 19th-century European and American interior styles.
In homes across the United States, traditional design became more popular than ever in the 20th century, as post-war suburbs boomed and people sought comfort in the classic stylings of earlier eras, from the Age of Enlightenment (1700s) through the Gilded Age (1800s).
A traditionally designed space may include Queen Anne, Chippendale, or Georgian styles; Federal, Colonial, or Empire neoclassical styles; Egyptian, Renaissance, or Gothic revival styles, or a unifying blend of any classic styles.
Today, traditional interiors are essentially the natural evolution of many cohesive traditional styles combined. Taken altogether, they create familiar, historic spaces that are timeless and placeless — spaces that beautifully portray how a conventional home should look and feel.
Elements of Traditional Design
Done well, traditional interiors feel ageless, comfortable, and put together without being too fussy. Done poorly, on the other hand, they can feel boring, predictable, and stuffy.
So how can you create gorgeous traditional spaces that make everyone feel right at home? By combining these essential elements:
1. Subtle, neutral backdrop
Creating a neutral backdrop with warm mid-tone colors is a great way to achieve the kind of consistency that makes traditional spaces feel so calm and orderly. Whether the chosen palette is based on bold, saturated hues or pale, soft colors, the overall mood should feel welcoming and soothing.
A well-balanced tonal range also keeps colorful, coordinated patterns at the forefront, something traditional design aims to achieve with complementary wallpaper, rug, and textile patterns (see below).
2. Compatible, harmonious patterns
Traditional design doesn't shy away from patterns; on the contrary, it embraces them and relies on them to define the mood of a space. Traditional interiors often feature compatible patterns across wallpaper, drapery fabrics, area rugs, and upholstered pieces.
Patterns may be as simple as stripes, plaids, and basic florals or as intricate as damask and chinoiserie. Adjusting the scale of each pattern — small, medium, or large — can help you layer them like a pro and avoid being too "matchy-matchy."
3. Detailed millwork; warm woods
Traditional homes are known for beautiful details and finishing touches, particularly when it comes to decorative woodwork. From built-in cabinetry, intricate crown molding, and tall baseboards to cornices, valances, coffered ceilings, and wainscotting, traditional design loves to showcase and maximize the potential of interior millwork.
Traditional homes also typically feature hardwood flooring, especially in the main living areas. While warm, honey-colored wood hues and rich, dark woods are most common, lighter hardwoods can work, too — particularly in traditional interiors with a more relaxed vibe.
4. Coordinated traditional furnishings
Given that the furnishings, artwork, and décor of traditional interiors are firmly rooted in various eras and classic styles of the past, it's important to take a coordinated approach to create a cohesive traditional space. While that doesn't mean that everything must match perfectly, it does mean you should aim for visual uniformity.
Furniture sets — think bedframe, side tables, and dressers or dining table, china cabinet, and buffet — are common in traditional interiors. Your pieces don't have to be an exact match, but they should share similar finishes and/or lines to create a sense of consistency.
5. Orderly, symmetrical design
Two is always better than one in traditional design, which is defined by order and symmetry. Whether it's in the form of paired table lamps or light fixtures, a perfectly spaced grid of framed artwork, or twin armchairs with matching ottomans, symmetrical design is a central element of traditional interiors.
Creating symmetry within a traditional space helps establish a sense of balance and harmony; it also helps draw your eye to focal points like a fireplace or seating area. Whether you're planning the layout of a room or displaying a collection, symmetry is a top priority.
6. Beautifully dressed windows
Traditional décor is the antithesis of modern design in many ways, including its approach to window treatments: whereas modern interiors often feature minimally dressed or bare windows, traditional interiors embrace classic, layered window treatments.
Today's traditional window treatments typically consist of functional blinds along with simple curtains or heavier, elegant draperies; formal fabric valances are less common now than they once were.

Its job is to clean most of your floors most of the time, and it succeeds in that respect. It's a handy, convenient addition to augment your existing vacuum cleaner, not a replacement for it.
Battery life up to 40 minutes
Easy to empty and clean
Good across carpet and hard floors
Lacks attachments
Ineffective on edges
Review Price: £199.00
100W power
Easy dirt ejection
Editor's note: this is a review of the Gtech AirRam Mk2. Click on page 2 for our review of the original Gtech AirRam (2012).
What is the Gtech AirRam Mk2?
When the Gtech AirRam launched in 2012, it was an anomaly. It looked like an upright cylinder vacuum cleaner, only it had the portability and cordless convenience of a "stick" vac. While it was too basic to take care of all your vacuuming needs, its sleek design made it an incredibly useful tool.
Four years later, the market is full of versatile cordless cleaners. Gtech has decided against sitting back, and now we have the AirRam Mk2. It's had some significant upgrades, which make it a more useful floor cleaner. Additions include headlights, a clever new bin, plus a modified suction system that makes it easier to pick up dirt of varying size.
The concept remains the same: it won't replace a proper vacuum cleaner with all the attachments, but it's a useful and convenient second cleaner if you've got already got a good corded model.
Gtech AirRam Mk2 – Design
Gtech would like to compare the AirRam Mk2 to Dyson vacuum cleaners, but I don't think that's entirely sensible. They're very different beasts. While Dyson makes upright vacuums and handheld stick vacs, Gtech has seemingly merged the two categories into a third option.
The AirRam is cordless, runs on batteries, and its 3.5kg weight means it's lighter than most upright vacs. But that's still heavier than the typical stick vac and it lives firmly on the floor. It also has no tools or attachments, either.
The AirRam is best described as an upright vacuum cleaner on a diet. I say "upright" because it stands up, but it works very differently to traditional upright rivals. There is no cylinder, for starters. Everything is packed into the base unit, where a motorised brush bar beats up dirt before a fan sucks it into the bin.
In this sense it's not really a vacuum cleaner, since there's no vacuum. Move the AirRam Mk2 about and you'll notice there's none of the powerful suck-down effect that you would find on, well, a vacuum.
There are four wheels – two large ones and two tiny ones on the unit's underbelly. Manoeuvrability is aided by the motorised brush bar, which is powerful enough to make the whole thing crawl forwards by itself. Push the AirRam Mk2 forwards on a hard floor and it will feel like it's gliding. That's great for anyone who doesn't want floor cleaning to be a workout, which is something Gtech can boast over its competitors.
Going backwards, you'll be met with a little more resistance. This is because of Gtech's new AirLOC technology, which is a fancy way of saying the front has a clever little flap. It goes with the motion when you push forwards, but it flicks down and locks into place on the backstroke, creating a better seal.
The new bin is a curious contraption. It accounts for roughly a quarter of the base unit, and It has a snail-shell cross section designed to help compress dirt. Gtech claims the 0.8-litre bin can hold 2.4 litres of dust and debris.
What's more impressive is the dirt-removal mechanism. Lift the bin out and you can use a little slider to eject bales of dirt. The idea is that you don't need to get your hands all dusty every time – only when you pull out the filter for rinsing once a month.
Elsewhere on the base unit is a foot-operated power switch and a removable battery block. Gtech claims a 40-minute running time from a four-hour charge, and my test results weren't far off. It has four LEDs to indicate how much juice you have left, but they're not very accurate – the AirRam Mk2 conked out even though there were two lights left.
Speaking of lights, Gtech has added headlights to this AirRam. While that might sound like overkill, it's great for showing up debris you may have missed.
As for the "stick" part of the AirRam, very little has changed. It remains a telescopic pole with two handles – one to push it around, the other for carrying. I'm not sure why this pole is that chunky, and two handles feels like overkill. Still, it's easy to assemble – you just slot it together and everything clicks into place.
Build quality is fine. The plastic body does feel a bit tacky, and the bin is a little flimsy, but overall the AirRam Mk2 feels sturdy enough to take on some chair legs. Just in case, Gtech will guarantee your vacuum for two years.
Gtech AirRam Mk2 – Cleaning performance
The original AirRam was better on carpet than it was on hard floors, but Gtech's tweaks seem to have fixed that imbalance. Part of that is down to the AirLOC design, which is supposed to draw in bigger debris on the forward stroke, and finer dirt on the backstroke.
I started with hard floor performance, dropping a handful of porridge oats on my kitchen floor. Sure enough, the forward stroke took care of most of the bigger grains, but there were still plenty of finer bits left between the tiles. That's fine, because a single backstroke sorted that out.
Next up, the carpet test. I threw down a few spoonfuls of baking powder (plus some oats for good measure) onto my deep pile rug. As before, the forward stroke sorted out the bigger chunks, but there was plenty left. The backwards stroke was much better at picking up the powder.
It wasn't clean, however – the AirRam Mk2 seemed to press some of the powder into the rug, and it took three to four reps to rid the rug of powder. Total cleaning time took less than 10 seconds – not bad, but not as good as best from Dyson and Bosch. Fine powder aside, the Gtech had no issues grabbing crumbs or fine hair.
The AirRam Mk2 does have a slight tendency to push around bigger bits that don't fit under the flap on the first pass. It seems the machine relies on running over things to pick them up – because it lacks suction power, it's not as good at handling dirt it can't run over.
Crucially, this means edge cleaning performance isn't amazing. I moved a bookcase to get at the dust that had gathered behind for the last year, and while the AirRam Mk2 was able to shift most of it, there was a clear line of dust left hugging the skirting board. Maybe more suction would help, but there's no option to adjust power.
This calls for some edge and crevice tools, but the AirRam Mk2's design means tools aren't an option. Gtech does sell the Multi, a handheld vacuum cleaner armed to the teeth with tools and pitched as the AirRam's ideal companion – but that costs £150. You can buy the AirRam Mk2 and the Multi together and save £50, but even then you're dealing with two separate devices, with two batteries to be charged.
It's here that the Gtech's rivals have an advantage. Dyson, Bosch and Vax offer all-in-one cordless vacuum cleaners that can handle open floors as well as tighter spaces.
Should I buy the Gtech AirRam Mk2?
The Gtech AirRam Mk2 builds on the original's ideas with some useful additions that make it a better tool in general. The headlights are cool, the new bin's dirt-ejection mechanism is handy, and the AirLOC design is an effective way to improve performance.
The competition is tough, however – tougher than when we first reviewed the original AirRam. The Dyson V6, for instance, offers superior cleaning and flexibility for around £50 more. The Gtech does offer longer battery life with a motorised brush bar – up to 40 minutes versus the V6's 17 to 20 minutes – but the Dyson has tools for cleaning your sofa, curtains and plenty more besides.
Then there's the Bosch Athlet BCH652KTGB, which can be had for similar money, but it beats the Gtech on bin size and battery life. The Bosch also offers adjustable power and tools for different vacuuming styles. Another option is the excellent Vax Air Cordless Lift, which is also £200 and more versatile.
Compared to these rivals, the Gtech AirRam Mk2 is clearly not a flexible, all-in-one cleaning machine. It does one thing, but it does that pretty well.

With her signature narrative zeal and goggle-eyed characters, McCarthy takes readers to the first Olympic marathon in America, held during the St. Louis World's Fair. The vehicles trailing the pack kicked up dust that choked and blinded the runners. Cuban Felix Carvajal couldn't resist stopping for fresh fruit or practicing his English with cheering onlookers. South African Len Tau "was chased a mile off course by an angry dog." American Fred Lorz, first over the finish line, probably rode most of the course in a car. And Thomas Hicks, another American and the eventual official winner, was given a concoction of egg white and strychnine en route. Readers who have grown up with highly orchestrated sports events on TV may be surprised to learn just how slapdash, hazardous, and idiosyncratic early competition could be. But the story requires a marathoner's concentration to keep track of its 10 main characters, and the subject matter doesn't offer McCarthy the kind of meaty ambiguity that have made her previous works like Earmuffs for Everyone! so fun and compelling. Ages 4–8. Agent: Alexandra Penfold, Upstart Crow Literary. (Mar.)

La Loca whose queer opulence shatters categories and the liberating projects these prescribe, la Loca whose opulence citizens violate so as to constitute the very idea of citizenship, esta es la Loca whose opulence finds form in the life and work of Néstor Perlongher to sing Argentina its most proper public hymn. Cadavers in the streets, in the crotches, in the words, and in military helicopters about to be tossed – so goes a haunting toward "the preciseness of this absence." To meet it, Perlongher lifts its perfect shadow in his mouth out of the ground. —FARID MATUK
In 'Cadavers,' his long poem on the desaparecidos – the disappeared victims of Argentina's military dictatorship – Perlongher does not seek to return their presence or whereabouts to those unnamed, absent corpses, but to restore their corporeity to them. He does so by means of a poetic language that can be as coarse and funny as it is ornate, bringing together such disparate elements as Góngora's Baroque and the neighborhood hair salon, Rubén Darío's Modernismo and Argentine public elementary schools.
Legend has it that Perlongher wrote his poem on the interminable bus trip from Buenos Aires to São Paulo that would take him into exile from a regime that had paradoxically criminalized him not for his fierce political activism, but for his militant homosexuality. This gorgeous translation by Roberto Echavarren and Donald Wellman retraces Perlongher's journey, and finally brings his great poem to an English-speaking audience. — EZEQUIEL ZAIDENWERG

An optical trackpad is an input device based on an optical sensor, which detects the displacement of a finger that is moving on top of it. The sensor is used typically in smartphones, where it replaces the D-pad, and in ultra-portable or ultra-mobile PCs, where it replaces touchpads, pointing sticks or trackballs as pointing device.

The main advantages over a D-pad are:
 It can track movements in 360 degrees and with varying speeds.
 It uses space efficiently, without the need for small buttons that are difficult to press.

Next to browsing through menus, it can drive a mouse cursor in point&click interfaces.

In comparison with touchpads, it detects actual skin displacement, instead of displacement of the center of the area being touched, and more similar to pointing sticks or compact trackballs by using experience, but with less physical feedback.

Think your website is ready for 2011? Think again. Just as you've mastered the latest web trends, suddenly major changes in SEO, web design and eCommerce appear from nowhere - and your business had better be prepared.
Here are the big web trends you need to address in 2011.
Add Something New: Physical retailers practically fall over each other trying to stand out among the crowd, offering extras like discounts, gift-wrapping and other promotions. "The more creative you can be, the better. I know of a clothing company that puts in handwritten notes into all of their products, thanking the customers. That's a great example of what you can do when you're a small retailer."This is the type of stuff you can do when you're a small company, and you have the chance to do it. Make yourself stand out and keep those customers coming back.
Make it Pretty: One of the biggest problems a new online shopper may have with the digital process is that they can't touch and feel the product they're buying. In order to eliminate that fear, you need to make the experience as visual as possible for them.

diabetes – A Fresh POV for You!
With St. Patrick's Day a few days away, memories of a trip we took to Ireland 4 years ago come flooding back into our minds. We and our husbands, along with two other couples, each of us from a different part of the US, convened for what became a trip of a lifetime.
While the trip began in Dublin, the real adventure started when we got off the beaten path. When we got away from touristy spots, outside our comfort zone, and took a cross country road trip to the Western rugged coast of Ireland. The picture you see above with the rainbow was taken from the back yard as we were "imprinting" and savoring our last view at the end of the trip. This trip truly turned out to be our proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. On this journey not only did we see magnificent castles, abbeys, history galore, sheep galore, glorious green like we've never seen, and breathtaking views, we laughed A LOT. We strengthened friendships, we made new lifelong friends in Ireland, but most importantly we learned that when you go off the beaten path (so to speak), good things can happen. You get a different view. You gain a different perspective. You get a different experience. (And yes these experiences are in our gratitude journals and brought us great joy! If you've been reading our blogs you'll know how we embrace expressing gratitude and finding joy in life).
Reflecting and bringing these experiences back to our practices leads us to ask: What if you went off the beaten path so to speak, and rather than focusing on the things in life when managing diabetes that are NOT going the way you want, instead, focus on the things that ARE going well? In our experience, so often we see that healthcare professionals and those living with diabetes alike, fixate on things that are not as desired – whether its an out of range blood glucose, a high A1C, or frequent hypoglycemia. That can leave you burnt out, and frankly beat down. What if instead you get a whole different experience by taking the road less traveled? Focusing on what you are doing well and how you can achieve or do that more.
This next week we challenge you (whether you live with diabetes or not) to identify at least 1 thing that's gone well. Is it possible to repeat what you did to lead to more "positive" experiences and days?
In closing, returning to the our Irish adventure. The four couples deeply bonded on this trip. We valued the time spent together. It made us realize we wanted to spend more time together over similar shared experiences. So, we are in fact planning another "off the beaten path" adventure across the South of France this summer. Adventuring through life experiences worked for us. It brings us joy. So we are going to do it again. We are sure to have some new perspectives, new learnings and beautiful views to share with you!
Tami's photos from the Chihuly glass sculptures exhibit at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. She did things differently by not only viewing the exhibit in the daylight, but also after dark, and got an entirely different perspective.
Our blog last week focused on being a human first. There was so much information in that one blog post that we decided to highlight and reinforce a few concepts today. So here we go!
As you may know, we strongly believe in the concept of a "therapeutic alliance" (which you may also know as the "helping alliance" or the "working alliance"). This alliance refers to the relationship between a healthcare professional and the person with diabetes by which they engage with each other to bring about beneficial change for that person with diabetes. This relationship is a most important component.
It's near to impossible to create those connections and build that alliance without focusing on language. Language and word choice is one of the most powerful choices we have. Words can demonstrate respect, empowerment and support or words can shame and blame. Respecting the expertise and experience of the person living with diabetes is essential to develop a strong therapeutic alliance.
You also probably know that we are using solutions focused brief therapy (SFBT) and coaching in our work. SFBT is a questioning approach with conversation focusing on the client's vision and how he/she identifies potential solutions. The questions asked during the interaction focus on a desired future state, and on what is already working well for that individual in the present. We acknowledge that the client has all the skills necessary to achieve their goals. As we mentioned last week, our goal, through incorporating principles of SFBT and coaching in diabetes care and education, is to change the conversation, the interaction and the experience of the diabetes community to improve health.
If you are a healthcare practitioner, we want to share 10 questions that you might find useful when engaging in discussions with patients or clients to acknowledge and build the therapeutic alliance. These questions reinforce the human side of both parties. They demonstrate that you care about the person sitting with you and that the relationship between you is important. Moreso, the word choices and body language during the interaction can go a long way towards creating a relationship of mutual respect.
Thank you for coming in. Tell me what's been going on. What can I help you with today?
What do you wish to achieve or learn by the end of this session so that you can say you're glad that you were here?
So that I can learn more about you, what do you consider your assets and strengths?
Is there anything else you'd like to share that I should know?
When you are at your best, what does that look like? How is that different from the way things are now?
How can you do more of what is making things go well?
If we created a plan, what would you consider a start to your being on the right track? And what else?
What can you take from this session that can help you in the coming weeks?
What will you be doing differently after this visit?
What feedback would you like to give me about today's session?
On a scale of 0-10, to what extent did you feel heard, understood, and respected during this session? 0 being you did not feel heard, understood or respected at all.
On a scale of 0-10, to what extent did we talk about and work on the things that are important to you during this session? 0 being not at all.
Do you feel more present and "conscious" during the visit?
Do you feel like a "human" first and a practitioner second?
Do you notice that your clients are achieving their goals, and most importantly, are they feeling more confident in their ability to live well while managing their diabetes?
Tami and Deb enjoying fresh views in Chicago, finding freedom and joy in life.
Deb's been listening to an Oprah's Book Club book on Audible, Eckhart Tolle A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. While Deb has found the book deep, and a challenging "read", she's found that it creates an opportunity to take an introspective look at the way we engage in the world. Tolle believes everyone can find "the freedom and joy of life" if they live in the present moment.
Deb has also been listening to Oprah's weekly Super Soul Conversations Podcast to review each chapter of the book, typically while taking her daily walk (and it's helping a lot to understand and internalize the concepts). During a recent podcast there was discussion between Oprah and Tolle about roles people play and how roles inhibit thinking. In applying some of Tolle's principles to our mission and vision here @AFreshPOVforYOU, there was an "a ha" moment for Deb around how the #languagematters movement in healthcare needs to expand to include not just the words we use, but also how we implement person first language. (check out our November blog on why language matters here) To really put the person (not the "patient") first, there needs to be a "person" on both sides of the interaction for true person centered care.
One section of Oprah's weekly podcast addressed healthcare and how when a healthcare professional "plays the role of healthcare professional", he or she may become "unconscious" of the fact he or she is a human person while embracing their "healthcare role". And, that the "patient" across from them is also a person. Something vital is then missing. And as a result, the person ("patient) may end up feeling disconnected and dismissed.
Her reply really struck a chord, and aligns with the closing words in Tolle's quote above, "When you play roles, you are unconscious." Let's repeat that….."When you play roles, you are unconscious". How can there be empowering or effective communication if people are not "present" and if they are "unconscious"?
Along those lines, We @AFreshPOVforYOU have experienced this first hand.
Deb recalls a visit with her daughter to the pediatrician where they never once made eye contact. The doctor typed on the computer the whole time, asking impersonal questions and fulfilling her role. They did not feel like they were part of the conversation.
Tami remembers a similar scenario while sitting alongside her mom at hospital discharge following her mom's knee surgery. The healthcare team was talking all "around" both of them, talking to each other, asking questions, giving a multitude of instructions, rarely looking at them or expressing interest in their point of view or concerns. They did not feel like they were part of the conversation either.
We've heard many similar stories from people with diabetes – how at times the relationship with their healthcare provider was not ideal. Some have stated they cancelled an appointment because they didn't want to be scolded for an A1C value that was higher than expected. Or because their weight was up a few pounds.
We've experienced being on both sides of this equation. As diabetes educators, we are always striving to improve, but we are not perfect. We've made our share of mistakes, but we've grown and learned from them. Deb recalls one client she saw years ago that was very frustrated with her because she was following the "assigned content" for the appointment per the prescribed healthcare provider orders, and at the end of the visit the client said, "we didn't have time for any of my questions!" That meeting really left an impact on her, she was playing the "role" of a diabetes educator and she never made that mistake again. Fast forward to a more recent experience when she received a call from a healthcare provider who referred his patient to her. The doctor said, "I'm not quite sure what you did, but Mr. Jones is never satisfied with anything or anyone, but he could not stop talking about how his appointment with you was the best diabetes visit he's ever had." You know what she did? She started by asking him about his family and recent vacation, and then asked what was going well with his diabetes management? She was being a human first and he was treated like a person.
If you follow our blog, you know that we are advocates of solution focused therapy. In the context of solution focused therapy, the client/person with diabetes is viewed as the expert and the most important element is the "therapeutic alliance" between the client and the practitioner. The relationship is the key to being able to work together. And to build a relationship it requires being present, being conscious of one's own behaviors, use of language, and body language which all tell a story. We believe it's critical to enter healthcare exchanges as a human first- not playing a role – with each party recognizing their part in the conversation/interaction as valuable.
Our goal, through incorporating principles of solutions focused therapy and coaching in diabetes care and education, is to change the conversation, the interaction and the experience of the diabetes community to improve health. As Eckhart Tolle says, we need to "become conscious of being conscious." We need to work as a team, be present in all of our interactions and most of all be human.
In closing, we leave you with a few thoughts on what you can do when you engage in a healthcare interaction.
When life gets crazy, as it often does for us, a strategy that we @AFreshPOVforYOU find particularly useful is taking a pause or break to help clear our minds and gain a fresh perspective. It could be a half hour, an afternoon, a day, or a week. Tami has found that when her mind is jumbled or she's trying to work out a problem, taking a walk allows her to think, her creative juices to flow, and to gain a fresh perspective. (And sometimes even happen upon a stunning sunset view like the one above captured on a recent walk). Deb enjoys sitting outside in her backyard, enjoying the view of the trees, flowers and clear water in the pool. Even getting away from our desks and out of the office at lunch brings clarity and new thinking. We've found when we're hit with "writer's block", just putting the project away for a day or two allows us to return with a clearer mind, new ideas and new perspective. Clients we've worked with have shared a variety of things they do to take a pause – from taking a long run, reading a pleasure book, mowing the yard, or simply sitting and being present in the moment, Taking that pause can change your perspective….much like "turning turtle" can. You can read more about "turning turtle" in our January 30, 2019 blog.
Have you tried stepping away for a bit when you're in the midst of a challenge? Maybe you're struggling with insurance benefits and getting your medication prescription filled, or maybe a co-worker questioned the food you were eating at lunch. (we know that never happens!) Taking a pause may sound counterproductive, but actually it's not. As you step away, spend a moment acknowledging all the hard work you have done. Remind yourself what you've accomplished or what is going well, even though it may feel like the world is swirling around you.
The practice of using solutions focused brief therapy (SFBT) encourages the exercise of asking questions when trying to identify solutions. A key premise of SFBT is that the individual is the only person who can understand his or her own needs, strengths and capabilities. The practitioner can facilitate by asking questions. One opportunity to incorporate the practice of asking questions is during these moments when you need to pause and step away.
Compliment yourself on your current efforts. What would you say to yourself?
What good intentions did you have when you started out today?
What is the most important quality you have and use when you are under stress or pressure and how can you leverage that now?
Asking yourself these questions when your mind is calm, and you are not distracted can help remind you of the resources you have within you and re-focus on your strengths.
We often find that the more challenging the season in life, the more often we need to pause. It's an important part of self-care. Sometimes just stepping away from a situation for awhile helps to bring a fresh perspective.
Spare a Rose, Save a Child Today!
The past few years we've requested no roses on Valentine's day and instead asked our husbands to make donations to the Spare a rose, save a child campaign, a program of Life for a Child.
If you are reading this blog, you probably know us and this program. But just in case….Life for a Child is a charity that helps diabetes programs in countries that do not have insulin and other diabetes supplies needed for young people living with type 1 diabetes to, …..well live! The vision seems so simple….no child should die of diabetes. Yet the scary reality is they do..
Spare a rose, save a child is pretty easy. Instead of a dozen roses, ask your special someone to only buy you 11 roses, and then donate $5, the cost of that one rose! One rose can provide life saving medicine and supplies for a full month for one child. Better yet, forgo the dozen roses all together and you can save a life for a whole year! Now that is a Valentine's day gift to remember.
Several other people have written blogs this month to raise awareness of this life changing program. For just a sampling of the advocacy taking place this month, check out Renza's blog Diabetogenic here and Stephen's blog Happy Medium here.
Since we post our blog on Wednesdays and today is February 13th, we thought this would be a good last minute reminder that you don't need to run to the store to make a meaningful difference tomorrow, just click and donate here and #SpareaRose.
Reflecting on our recent blog on Gratitude, this Valentine's day we are grateful for our diabetes community and want to give back. And since we learned that practicing gratitude can decrease stress and anxiety by activating the areas in the brain that release feel-good hormones serotonin and dopamine, this is really a gift that actually gives back to us!

BIG 5 SAFARI TOUR ROUTE
WHAT ARE THE BIG 5 SAFARI ANIMALS?
The "Big Five" safari animals are the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo.
Originally a hunting term that referred to the difficulty in stalking these dangerous African mammals, it was considered a trophy hunters' feat to bring them home.
That's not a view we share, and our team are passionate about their conservation. On our big 5 safari, you'll get to see the magnificence of these animals in their natural habitat. Take a look at what's in store on this incredible adventure.

Food truck owners roll out association

TAGS Grand Rapids Food Truck Association

The area's food truck industry now has support from a newly formed association.
The Grand Rapids Food Truck Association, or GRFTA, said this week that its aim is to provide food truck advocacy, support and education within the Grand Rapids community.
The association said it has been meeting since January.
City regulations
One major hope of the association is to help the city with new regulations to coincide with Mayor Rosalynn Bliss' State of the City comments about food trucks being an "entry point for culinary entrepreneurship."
"We couldn't agree with the mayor more," GRFTA President Brennan Summers said.
Summers, owner of A Moveable Feast, added that the association looks forward to working with Bliss and city commissioners "to develop a set of food truck regulations that make sense for food trucks and the residents and visitors of Grand Rapids."
The Grand Rapids Food Truck Association was formed with the help of the National Food Truck Association, or NFTA, which seeks the same goals on a national level.
"Food trucks have expanded the culinary landscape of countless cities worldwide," NFTA Founder Matt Geller said. "The addition of a strong food truck advocacy organization will help Grand Rapids grow into a healthy mobile vending region and increase consumer choice."
Along with advocacy, the groups both seek to provide new and existing food trucks with resources and support.
"Not only can we provide the expertise and resources for new truck owners who are just getting started, but we can also be a resource for existing truck owners looking for a way to jump start their business," said Paul Lee, GRFTA VP and owner of What the Truck. Lee also owns the Wealthy Street restaurants Winchester and Donkey Taqueria.
Educating the public is also a key goal of the association, which will sponsor public food truck events.
"We can provide a great service to the Grand Rapids public," Summers said. "Now, if someone is looking to book a food truck for an event or even just looking for general information on food trucks, there is a central point of contact that will immediately provide them with the combined resources of a large group of food trucks."
While association officials acknowledge Grand Rapids may not be a large-scale food truck city like Los Angeles or Washington, D.C., it can still be vibrant.

Q: How should I handle the creation and disposal of sessions using mgo.v2? I'm connecting a golang webservice to a MongoDB database. I'm a little confused about what's the best and safest way of creating and storing the database sessions. In other languages I am used to an approach where I can open and close a connection for every request like (pseudocode)
conn = db.newConnection()
query = conn.query({id: 'my-id'})
conn.close()

which would ensure that the connection is always closed properly and resources are freed. Whenever there is a connectivity hiccup it will be affected only temporarily. Performance hits are not to be expected as databases are heavily optimized for such behavior.
Now, the mgo docs on Dial()(which is used for establishing a connection) state:

This method is generally called just once for a given cluster. Further
  sessions to the same cluster are then established using the New or
  Copy methods on the obtained session. This will make them share the
  underlying cluster, and manage the pool of connections appropriately.

which led to me having a single package level connection that I create on package init and which is then shared by all instantiated clients:
var database *mgo.Database
// Setup runs all the needed steps to establish a database connection
func Setup() error {
    var sessionErr error
    mongoSession, sessionErr = mgo.Dial(os.Getenv("MONGO_HOST"))
    if sessionErr != nil {
        return sessionErr
    }
    database = mongoSession.DB(os.Getenv("DB_NAME"))
    return nil
}

This works kind of ok, yet I am running into issues where about once a month the connection to the database is lost and cannot be recovered during the lifetime of the process (making all requests return EOF and requiring someone to restart the process). I have never seen this happen using the connect-and-close-on-each-query approach I have described above.
I'm pretty sure I must be doing something wrong, but I feel I am doing what the docs tell me and all examples I can find on the web are one-off things that do not cover the case of a long-running application.
What is the recommended way of handling Mongo connections in a failure safe way inside long-running applications using mgo? Is there an established pattern of using Copy() or New() which are mentioned in the documentation? Will using them prevent permanently failed connections?
