Mark was saved as a senior in high school during a chapel service led by his soccer coach. Growing up, their church often had missionaries who would come and speak, telling of the work they were in and challenging them to go into missions. His family was involved in supporting missionaries in Alaska by helping with work projects. After he was saved he had the opportunity to work at several youth camps, which included the use of aviation to transport supplies and kids. This helped spark his interest in mission aviation. He felt God calling him into full-time Christian ministry over the next year, but got side tracked and walked away from the Lord for several years. When God brought him back to Himself, Mark still felt that God was calling him into missions. God led him to Moody Bible Institute to pursue Missionary Aviation.
Rose was saved at the age of 5. Her dad lead her to the Lord after Sunday school. She grew up doing missions projects at church and listening to missionary speakers on a regular basis. During junior high and high school, a couple of her friends' families went to Brazil for a year to teach at an MK school. God used their testimonies, His Word, along with the awareness of the needs around the world to give her a desire to serve Him full-time in missions. She pursued a degree at Moody Bible Institute.
. . . and this is where God brought them together. After they were married in 1997, they continued to pursue God's call into missions. Mark completed Moody's flight and maintenance programs, graduating in 2001 and 2002. They headed to Alaska to see if this was where God would have them to serve. After spending about a year and a half there, God seemed to be closing that door for them. But, the same time He closed that door He opened another . . God led them to New Tribes Mission (now Ethnos 360) while Mark was on a short-term missions trip to PNG in 2004. God has gifted their family with the gift of Service and Encouragement, which are areas they desire to use to serve Him anywhere God places them.
They served with NTM both in Senegal, W. Africa and in Papua New Guinea from 2005-2013. However, they knew there was a reason that God had laid missions in Alaska on their hearts. HE has given them a passion to care for missionaries living in cross-cultural settings. In 2013 they joined Arctic Barnabas Ministries, encouraging pastors and missionaries serving in the villages throughout Alaska and western Canada. God used the things He taught them while living overseas to help encourage pastors and missionaries struggling with similar things. During a time of transition for ABM, Mark and Rose felt God leading them away from ABM, yet they still had a passion for missionaries serving throughout Alaska and Canada. In 2018 they joined Desert Streams Ministry and are based in Alaska, continuing to develop the relationships they have there, but also traveling overseas to encourage pastors and missionaries living cross-culturally. They are excited to see this culmination of the journey God has led them on and using those experiences to help further the Gospel around the world. We are thankful to have Mark as a vital part of the board, and appreciate the value that their family brings to the ministry of Desert Streams.
Zach and Kara were both born and raised in Alaska, Zach is a business owner in Soldotna and Kara is a stay at home wife and mom to their two kids. As a family, they enjoy spending time outdoors exploring God's beautiful creation. They are both passionate about serving the Lord and sharing the hope of the Gospel in their local church and community by discipling others through biblical counseling and through foster care. We are thankful to have Zach as a vital part of the board, and appreciate and value that they both bring to the ministry of Desert Streams.
Rich was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago, and Rhee grew up in Alaska. They met while Rich was serving as a short term missionary at Solid Rock Bible Camp in Alaska. Three years later, they were married. Rich has worked in IT for 23 years. Rhee is one of the secretaries at Soldotna Bible Chapel. They have 2 married children, 3 granddaughters and a grandson - the joy of their lives! They love spending time outside enjoying God's beautiful creation. Rich and Rhee love their Lord and strive to serve Him faithfully in their church and with family and friends. We are thankful to have Rich as a vital part of the board, and appreciate and value that they both bring to the ministry of Desert Streams.

The inspiration for Bill Murray Jesus came from XM Siruis Radio. I was listening to a comedy channel and a comedian made some kind of weird vocalization that visually popped into my head as 70's Bill trying to sing… as Jesus. It seemed a funny idea to have him portray the Messiah in a 70's SNL skit. I even figured he must have done it. It was just too perfect an idea. I Googled it and didn't find anything.
JACK: "Last night I dreamt that Bill Murray was Jesus..."
BILL MURRAY: "That's a fact, Jack!"
CHIP: "If you've had a dose of the holy ghost... who you gonna pray to?"


Book clubs: What images do those two words conjure up for you? Ladies sipping tea and trading favorite lines from Jane Austen, right? Or a group of suburban moms huddled around adult beverages with the latest chick lit offering? Or maybe a conversation that's a little too academic, with participants bandying around literary terms like "foreshadowing" and "malapropism" and overanalyzing every paragraph. Certainly these images are true for some groups, but don't think that book discussion is an activity limited to any certain demographic or that you had to have majored in English to take part.
Book groups broaden your reading horizons. You will read quite a number of books you normally wouldn't give a second glance. Yes, you'll probably dislike some of them (I'm looking at you, Never Let Me Go and The Night Circus), but you will also enjoy a lot of them. Some of the books that you never imagined yourself reading will become your absolute favorites (Now I'm looking at you, Where'd You Go, Bernadette? and O Pioneers!).
They'll also broaden your worldview. You will learn about other cultures and perhaps gain different perspectives from your group members' points-of-view.
Your communication skills will improve because you'll be listening to other people talk about the books you read together. And with all those books, your reading comprehension skills will be sharpened as well.
At the Kenton County Public Library, we offer "traditional" book clubs that meet at the library, an online club that meets virtually on GoodReads, and we have often hosted meetings at coffee shops, art centers, and other locations throughout the community. Check our website under Events to see what's happening. And don't be put off by the use of the word "club". There's absolutely no obligation to attend all of the meetings. You aren't even required to register for these discussions. All you'll need to do as a book discussion participant is to read the book and then show up for the meeting. It's as simple as that.
Now maybe you prefer to form your own discussion group, outside of the Library, and host it on your own. We've got you covered there, too, with an extensive book discussion kit collection available to check out for free!
If you have visited the Covington Branch recently, you may have noticed that our book kit collection is now on the main floor, next to the Reference Desk. Want to see what titles we currently have available? Just take a stroll around the display units and leaf through the discussion guides that are on display.
We select new titles every year for our library groups and those kits become available the following year for check out by library card holders. Our kits contain 12-15 copies of a book plus a discussion guide, which includes an author biography, editorial reviews, and sample discussion questions to help you get your conversation going. If you aren't sure which book you'd like, I'm always happy to recommend one. Just drop me an email at lesley.daley@kentonlibrary.org or call 859-962-4060, ext. 4240.
The bottom line is that book clubs can be for everyone, so give one of our discussions a try. Or go ahead and start your own club. You provide the space and the snacks – we'll provide the books.

I think will be good to start a new section here in the blog. Specially to see how cars in amateurs hand can be handle.
To start I decided to go with an ECR33. R33 RB25DET. As the R33 is the no most popular Skyline I think is a good way to start. Notice the car leading is the old DR30 Skyline which is very very fast.
Note: The image at the home does not match the car at the video.
This 82′ Vw Rabbit is everything I love about car builds and owning classic cars. The uniqueness, community, simplicity, and personality.

Benjamin Solomon «Ben» Carson, Sr. (Detroit, Míchigan, 18 de septiembre de 1951) es un médico neurocirujano pediatra retirado, escritor y político estadounidense. Fue precandidato presidencial republicano en 2016 y desde el 2 de marzo de 2017 hasta el 20 de enero de 2021, fue el Secretario de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano, siendo el primer afroamericano en formar parte de la administración de Trump.

En 2008, fue galardonado con la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad por el presidente George W. Bush.

Es conocido por realizar operaciones de muy alto riesgo, como la separación de los gemelos siameses alemanes Patrick y Benjamin Binder en 1987, con un equipo de 70 personas, tras un período de 22 horas.

Después de pronunciar un discurso ampliamente difundido en el 2013 durante el Desayuno Nacional de Oración de ese año, se convirtió en una figura conservadora popular entre algunos sectores de la comunidad política por sus opiniones sobre temas sociales y políticos, y se presentó como precandidato presidencial por el Partido Republicano.

Su fortuna es de 26 millones de dólares en 2016.

El 5 de diciembre de 2016, el entonces presidente electo Donald Trump, lo nominó como Secretario de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano, recibiendo el consentimiento del Senado de los Estados Unidos, con 58 votos a favor y 41 en contra. El 2 de marzo de 2017, Carson recibió el consentimiento después de que fuera aprobado por unanimidad por el Comité de Bancos, Vivienda y Asuntos Urbanos, siendo uno de los aspirantes de Trump que menos dificultades ha enfrentado en su confirmación pese al retraso de sus audiencias.

Biografía
Sus padres procedían de las familias numerosas en zonas rurales de Georgia, y que vivían en zonas rurales de Tennessee cuando se conocieron y se casaron. Benjamin Solomon Carson, nació en Detroit, Míchigan, Estados Unidos. Su madre, Sonya Carson, abandonó la escuela en tercer grado. Cuando ella tenía sólo trece años se casó con Robert Solomon Carson, un ministro bautista procedente de Tennessee. Los padres de Ben se divorciaron cuando él tenía ocho años, debido a que su madre descubrió que el padre de Ben tenía otra familia con otros hijos. Tras lo sucedido con el padre de Benjamin, la señora Carson asumió la responsabilidad de sostener a Benjamin y su hermano mayor, Curtis Carson. Ella trabajó en dos (a veces tres) puestos de trabajo a la vez para poder mantener a sus hijos.

Educación
Carson manifestó tempranamente dificultades en su educación primaria, hasta ser visto como el peor alumno de su clase, convirtiéndose en sujeto de insultos por parte de sus compañeros y desarrollando, posteriormente, un temperamento agresivo e incontrolable. Decidida a cambiar la vida de su hijo, la Sra. Carson limitó el tiempo que Ben pasaba frente a la televisión y se negó a dejarlo salir a jugar hasta que hubiese terminado su tarea cada día. Le exigió leer dos libros cada semana y darle informes escritos sobre ellos, a pesar de su propia falta de educación. Pronto Ben sorprendió a sus compañeros y profesores con sus nuevos conocimientos. "Fue en ese momento que me di cuenta que no era estúpido", recordó más tarde.
Un año más tarde, Ben Carson era el mejor alumno de su clase.

Después de determinar que quería ser un psiquiatra, Carson se graduó con honores de la escuela secundaria y asistió a la Universidad de Yale, donde obtuvo una licenciatura en Psicología.
A continuación, estudió en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Míchigan, donde su interés se desplazó hacia la neurocirugía. Su excelente coordinación mano-ojo y sus habilidades de razonamiento lo convirtieron en un sobresaliente cirujano. Después de la escuela de medicina se convirtió en el primer afroamericano residente de neurocirugía en el Hospital Johns Hopkins en Baltimore. A la edad de 32 años, se convirtió en jefe de residentes de neurocirugía del hospital.

Carrera médica

En 1983, Carson fue invitado junto a su esposa a Perth, Australia, donde se convirtió en Jefe Residente de Neurocirugía del Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, uno de los principales centros de cirugía cerebral del país oceánico. Carson obtuvo gran experiencia en poco tiempo debido a la escasez de especialistas de su clase.

En 1984, Carson regresó a Estados Unidos, y al Hospital Johns Hopkins, donde a los 33 años fue nombrado como Director del Departamento de Neurocirugía Pediátrica, siendo el médico más joven en ocupar la posición que aún desempeña actualmente. Ben Carson llegaba a ser conocido por acceder a tratar casos desesperados o de alto riesgo y por combinar sus propias habilidades quirúrgicas y el conocimiento del funcionamiento del cerebro, con innovadoras tecnologías. Entre ellas se cuentan el primer procedimiento intra-uterino para aliviar la presión sobre el cerebro en una hidrocefalia fetal, convirtiéndose en el primer médico en operar a un feto dentro del útero. Además, Carson realizó en 1985 un peligroso procedimiento quirúrgico, la hemisferectomía, que consiste en extraer la mitad del cerebro. Desde entonces, la operación ha ayudado a muchos pacientes llevar una vida sana y normal. A finales de los años 1980, Carson se hizo conocido como un experto en uno de los tipos de cirugía más difíciles: la separación de gemelos siameses.

Anualmente, Ben Carson realiza alrededor de cuatrocientas intervenciones quirúrgicas, la mayoría de ellas de alto riesgo. Las siguientes son algunas de las más destacadas de su carrera:
 En septiembre de 1987, Carson hizo historia siendo el cirujano principal del equipo de setenta personas que realizó exitosamente, tras 22 horas, el complejo procedimiento de separar a los gemelos siameses alemanes Patrick y Benjamin Binder, de siete meses de edad, que estaban unidos por la parte posterior de la cabeza. Las operaciones de este tipo siempre habían fracasado, resultando en la muerte de uno o ambos bebés. Sin embargo, los hermanos Binder sobrevivieron (aunque sufrieron importantes daños cerebrales; a los dos años de la operación, uno quedó en estado vegetativo).
 En 1997, Carson y su equipo fueron a Sudáfrica para separar a los bebés varones Zambianos Luka y José Banda. Ambos niños sobrevivieron, y ninguno sufrió daño cerebral. Los hermanos Banda fueron el primer conjunto de gemelos unidos por la parte superior de la cabeza separados quirúrgicamente con éxito en la historia. La operación duró 28 horas.
 En 2003, Carson fue un miembro del equipo quirúrgico que trabajó para separar a las hermanas siamesas iraníes Ladan y Laleh Bijani, de 29 años. Debido a severas pérdidas de sangre, ambas fallecieron durante la cirugía. Este fue el primer intento de separación de siameses adultos craneópagos (unidos por la cabeza) en la historia.

Carrera política

Tras varios rumores y suposiciones, Carson anunció su postulación presidencial el 4 de mayo de 2015 en Detroit. A finales de marzo de 2015, Carson tenía su primera victoria en una encuesta nacional para el campo republicano de 2016, cuando Fox News lanzó una encuesta mostrándole empatado en el primer lugar con el exgobernador de Florida Jeb Bush, con el 13% cada uno. Otra encuesta posterior a su anuncio en mayo, señala a Carson con el 25% a la cabeza en un sondeo hecho por la Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

A principios de julio, el director de comunicaciones Doug Watts informó que la campaña de Ben Carson había recaudado $ 8.3 millones durante el segundo trimestre de 2015, a través de 210.000 donaciones de 151.000 donantes. Más tarde, ese mismo mes, Des Moines Register informó que Carson tenía recaudado más dinero en el estado de Iowa que cualquier otro candidato republicano, y en el campo general de las elecciones presidenciales, solamente la demócrata Hillary Clinton recauda más en Iowa que Carson.

En el primer debate presidencial del año, 10 precandidatos republicanos se presentaron ante Fox News en agosto. Competía contra varios republicanos y según varias encuestas el médico sobrepasó al magnate Donald Trump en Iowa, quien arrasaba en la gran mayoría de las encuestas, con lo que finalmente, la superioridad de Trump en las elecciones internas hizo que Carson suspenda definitivamente su carrera a la presidencia el 2 de marzo de 2016.

Vida personal
Ben Carson contrajo matrimonio con Lacena "Candy" Rustin, a quien conoció en Yale en 1975. Candy posee un grado MBA y es una experta en música. Ambos son miembros de la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día. Tienen tres hijos: Murray, Benjamin Jr., y Rhoeyce. En junio de 2002 se le detectó una forma agresiva de cáncer de próstata, pero afortunadamente fue descubierto y extraído a tiempo. Sin embargo, debido a su encuentro con la muerte, Carson realizó algunos cambios en su estilo de vida, consagrando más tiempo a su familia y a la ópera.

Opiniones
Social y filosóficamente muy conservador, duda del evolucionismo, se pone abiertamente del lado de las teorías creacionistas, apoya la prohibición casi total del aborto y se opone a la homosexualidad, que equipara a la "bestialidad". Ha calificado la reforma sanitaria del presidente Obama (conocida como "Obamacare") como "el peor mal desde la esclavitud".

En 1998, consideró, con referencia a la Biblia, que las pirámides de Egipto no se construyeron para albergar a los faraones fallecidos, sino que José (del Antiguo Testamento) las construyó para almacenar grano.

En 2014, Carson escribió al presidente Barack Obama: «... debemos quitar la atención de la salud desde el ámbito político y reconocer que las propuestas de gobierno que afectan a la salud de todos los ciudadanos deben ser de libre de mercado y deben ser tan atractivas que no sería necesario forzar a los ciudadanos en el programa». Carson afirma no apoyar el aborto, pero apoya el uso de tejidos de abortos para la investigación médica y él mismo es autor de al menos una investigación médica utilizando dichos tejidos. En una entrevista el 23 de agosto de 2015 con CNN, Ben Carson al buscar la nominación del Partido Republicano, también propuso el uso de drones para evitar a los inmigrantes indocumentados.

En los días posteriores al masacre del Instituto Superior Umpqua de 2015, se pronunció en contra de las medidas de control de armas y utilizó un argumento de la derecha radical estadounidense según el cual si los judíos hubieran tenido acceso a las armas en los años 30 se habrían podido evitar los abusos del régimen nazi y el Holocausto.

También en 2015, dijo: "Les diré lo que pienso sobre el cambio climático. "La temperatura sube o baja en cualquier momento, así que realmente no es un gran problema".

Fondos de Estudios Carson
En 1994, él junto con su esposa establecieron el Fondo de Estudios Carson. La idea surgió al observar que los colegios reconocían enérgicamente a sus deportistas pero los logros académicos pasaban a menudo desapercibidos. Carson quiso animar a los estudiantes a explorar los campos de la ciencia y la tecnología. Actualmente, el Fondo de Estudios Carson mantiene dos programas:
 Las Becas Carson premian a estudiantes de escasos recursos que manifiesten altos niveles de excelencia académica y se destaquen en el servicio a su comunidad con becas de US$1000 en la universidad.
 El Proyecto de Lectura Carson fue establecido el 2000 y tiene como objetivo incentivar la lectura a través de la creación de acogedoras Salas de Lectura en las escuelas.

Premios y honores
Carson ha recibido numerosos honores y premios a lo largo de los años, incluyendo más de 50 doctorados honoris causa. Ha sido miembro de prestigiosas organizaciones, entre ellas la American Academy of Achievement, la Asociación de Americanos Distinguidos Horacio Alger, la Sociedad Médica Honorífica Alpha Omega Alpha, la Corporación Yale, la Sociedad de Transformadores del Mundo IWU y el Consejo Presidencial sobre Bioética.

En 2001, el Dr. Carson fue nombrado por la CNN y la TIME Magazine como uno de los veinte principales médicos y científicos de Estados Unidos. Ese mismo año, fue seleccionado por la Biblioteca del Congreso, en ocasión de su 200.º aniversario, como uno de las 89 «Leyendas Vivientes» de la nación.
También es receptor de la Medalla Spingarn 2006, el más alto honor otorgado por la Asociación Nacional por el Progreso de la Gente de Color (NAACP), y de la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad, el más alto honor civil en el país en el año de 2008.

Q: jQuery File Upload - GAE deleting uploaded blobs I am using the jQuery File Upload plugin here:
http://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/
I'm using their Google App Engine Python implementation to handle the file upload. I am able to upload an image, and receive a serving and thumbnail URL for it. The files appear in the admin console's Blob Viewer, and the links work.
However, after some time, the image URLs start returning 404 errors. Refreshing the Blob Viewer shows 0 blobs. It appears that GAE is automatically purging or deleting the blobs.
I am only using GAE for image storage, my application runs on another server and stores the serving and thumbnail URLs. Maybe GAE is automatically deleting them because I am not saving any references to the blob keys in the datastore? If this is a feature, does anyone know how to disable it?
I am new to GAE. Is there some way to see why/when blobs are deleted from the logs?

A: It turns out that the main.py file defines a cleanup() function that deletes blob keys, and when the file is uploaded it defers the execution of that function on the uploaded files. I simply commented out these lines:
    #deferred.defer(
    #    cleanup,
    #    blob_keys,
    #    _countdown=EXPIRATION_TIME
    #)

And it works. I didn't see anything about this in the documentation!
Of course, if you like the functionality, you can customize how long the image stays in the blobstore by editing the EXPIRATION_TIME variable. By default, it deletes the blobs after 5 minutes.

Harding placed in four events this weekend.
FREDERICKSBURG, VA – The University of the District of Columbia women's outdoor track and field team braved the cold wintry conditions to place 2nd overall at the Mary Washington Battleground Relays.
The Firebirds competed over two days with sophomore Shakeithia Nicholson starting with the triple jump event; she managed to finish 1st with a personal best of 10.74m to get UDC started.
Next, the 4x800m team of Aisha Dozier, Kenlyn Duncan, Dajour Jones, and Dabrin Snorton impressed with a 2nd place finish in a time of 11:04.34. Sophomore Niasia Harding had a successful weekend first in the 200m where she ran 26.01s to cross the line in 3rd. Temera Duncan closely followed her in 5th place in a time of 26.28s and Shaneika Bowra ran 26.35s to take 6th.
Saturday saw the wintry weather conditions challenge the Firebirds with temperatures dropping into the mid 30's.However, this didn't phase UDC as they started the day with the 1600m sprint medley relay (200m, 200m, 400m, 800m) that consisted of the quartet, Shannell Hibbert, Bowra, Temera Duncan, and Jones – they finished in a time of 4:30.88 to place 2nd. In the 100m, Harding finished 3rd in 13.84s, followed by Shayna Hodge in 13.87s for 4th, and Desiree Gaeckler in 14.08s for 6th. The 4x100m relay saw Cierra Roberts, Bowra, Gaeckler, and Harding take 1st place in 50.56s.
Harding continued her fine form when she placed 1st in the 400m hurdles in a time of 1:10.82 and Hodge who was leading the majority of the race took 2nd in 1:12.40.
Up next was the 100m hurdles and Hibbert proved again the strength she has in this event by finishing 1st in 16.81s.
And to finish the day off the Firebirds had six finish in the top eight. Leading the way was sophomore Temera Duncan in 1st with a time of 1:02.09, 2nd place went to Roberts in 1:04.00, Hibbert took 3rd place in 1:04.27, 4th saw Jones take it in 1:04.53, Dozier took 5th in 1:06.39, and in 8th Kenlyn Duncan finished in 1:08.62 to round off a superb meet for the Firebirds.
Coach Phillip said, "despite the weather and not executing in some of the races properly, I thought the ladies did a great job of just putting their heads down and competing."
The Firebirds will be in action at the George Mason University Spring Invitational, Saturday, April 14th.

How to Rethink Your Business During Uncertainty
Recessions are a good time to disengage from businesses and practices that are weak and under pressure—but the volatile environment demands that managers let go of old approaches.

The depressing headlines are only the latest manifestation of a trend that has been long in the making: the encroachment of Schumpeter's famous "gales of creative destruction" over what were once relatively stable, even mature, businesses.1 Unfortunately, leaders of many of today's more mature organizations don't have the right mindset or practices to help their organizations survive. They grew up with management practices suited to a different age—one with higher barriers to entry, greater transaction costs, fewer capable competitors, growing and increasingly affluent markets and far less information. The environments they are facing now, however, are less predictable, more complicated and more volatile.
THE DOWNTURN MANIFESTO
A manager's guide to surviving—and thriving—in recessionary times
Read more in this special report »
The result is that many of the core businesses—involved with what may be boring old, mainstream, mature products and services that everyone has taken for granted—are themselves becoming more uncertain. As uncertainty increases, companies are finding themselves facing what we call a high ratio of "uncertainty to knowledge." This is a problem because making decisions based on old assumptions often leads to unfortunate outcomes.
Human beings have a tendency to embrace information reinforcing their pre-existing beliefs, while challenging or rejecting information that calls these beliefs into question.2 At the same time, many established management tools, such as net present value, are built on a foundation of assumed certainty—that it's realistic to forecast likely cash flows into the future and discount them to today. In volatile business environments, such thinking is no longer practical.
The good news is that other, more suitable approaches can be adapted from the practices used by successful fast-growth companies, entrepreneurs and corporate new-business-development groups that have always had to navigate unpredictable, resource-constrained and surprising environments. In an unpredictable world, trying to be right can lead managers terribly astray. Therefore, we favor a "discovery-driven" approach that emphasizes searching for the right answers and reducing the assumption-to-knowledge ratio.
The leading question
What happens when companies can no longer count on their core business?
Launching reinvention requires candid assessment of the core's prospects and goals to orient the organization toward a compelling future.

Companies that use a matrix type of organization are more flexible in nature. In difficult economic times they should do better than those with a standard hierarchical management structure.
Has anyone studied this?

Rita, wouldn't you agree that in dire times, smaller companies are bound to have the best opportunities? In a bad economy, small companies are more agile and respond quicker - and also are familiar with maximizing limited resources.
I think they specialize in creating enabling structures in creative models can only learn from.

Bishamon Industries of Taiwan was one of the companies that made early private label lifts for Benwil. Once Benwil started designing its own lifts, they changed factories and this resulted in Bishamon's independent entry into the US auto lift market. Bishamon no longer sells auto lifts in the US, but remains one of the world's largest suppliers of material handling equipment. When an owner of a Bishamon model GP-9, NP9, or SP7 auto lift needs help with parts, they turn to SVI. If SVI does not have the Bishamon parts you need, we will seek the part from Taiwan or simply make it right here in America. That's the SVI commitment to quality parts and great service in action.
There are many Bishamon lifts still in operation today in America thanks to SVI's commitment to provide quality parts for service departments around the country. When Bishamon parts are needed, rely on SVI.

Mattel Shares Slide on Weak Holiday Sales
BYJohn Kell
January 25, 2017, 10:18 PM UTC
Mattel's shares slipped by about 10% on Wednesday after a drop in sales during the critical fourth quarter proved the toymaker didn't have the happiest of holidays.
"Our results were negatively impacted by a number of industry-wide challenges, including a significant U.S. toy category slowdown in the holiday period, and increased foreign exchange headwinds," said outgoing Chairman and CEO Christopher Sinclair. He said the slowdown in the toy aisle led to higher promotions and decreased shipping.
Net sales declined 6% in constant currency to $1.83 billion, while net profit dropped to 51 cents per share from 63 cents the prior year. Both results badly missed Wall Street's projections of $1.96 billion in revenue and 71 cents in per-share earnings. The fourth quarter is by far the most important for toymakers like Mattel (MAT) because of the Christmas shopping season.
The full-year results also indicate that Mattel—which makes Barbie, Fisher Price and American Girl toys—lost market share in the critical U.S. market. Earlier Wednesday, research firm NPD Group estimated that the industry's sales increased by 5% last year, boosted by Star Wars toys—a property that is closely associated with Mattel rival Hasbro (HAS). Mattel, however, reported a 7% drop in North America sales.
But Sinclair's point about a highly promotional holiday season echoes what NPD had said in that firm's industry report. In recent years, holiday traffic has consolidated to two periods of time: the Thanksgiving weekend and the week heading into Christmas. The first three weeks of December have seen soft foot traffic in brick and mortar stores, resulting in fewer impulse purchases.
Toymakers like Mattel and Hasbro, which are highly reliant on the success of retailers like Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT), may need to come up with new strategies to get their brands in front of consumers that don't fully rely on retailers. Luxury brands, sports apparel makers and many others dependent on third-party physical retailers are also having to consider new strategies.
That's a problem that may be top of mind for Mattel's new CEO Margaret "Margo" Georgiadis. Georgiadis, formerly Google's Americas president, takes over the role next month.
Among Mattel's top brands, sales were strongest for Hot Wheels, Matchbox and preschool brand Fisher Price, as well as Barbie, which has seen a resurgence as greater diversity in the lineup of dolls has resonated with consumers. Mattel's sales throughout 2016 have been hurt by a key license that it lost to rival Hasbro: the lucrative Walt Disney's princess lineup. That resulted in a sales hole that Mattel had estimated would be about $440 million, or 7% of 2015's sales.


I recently came across an article that wrote about America's "intentional poor", intentionally living on $5,000 a year on purpose. The shift towards a minimalist "simple" life is a new trend brought upon by the ever increasing demands of an unsustainable world. More and more people are consciously rejecting the status-quo, choosing to live off the land, off the grid, or find ways in which to live with much less in the realization that our current world and system needs a new way of doing things in order to thrive.
When poverty becomes privilege, though, is when you can deliberately opt out of the system in favor of "poverty" but just as inadvertently opt back in. Education, family/friends/networks and social status can always help you back into the norm. The demographics of people who intentionally choose poverty, therefore, are strongly white/Caucasian with little outliers here and there like a short Filipina-American woman who decided to move back to Asia and live in a Manila slum for two years on $3,000-7,000 a year.
When I started this journey, I never did it to make a statement. I was simply broke on my last dollar and needed to figure out a cheap solution towards navigating a new and foreign city whilst trying to live on a meager start to self-employment with next to zero experience, let alone business skill. I was trying to reinvent myself; like a phoenix rising from its ashes.
This part of my history was never something I was proud of. In fact, it was a pain point that I was embarrassed of and tried not to talk much about. I used the self-pity angle here and there on my blog, and always felt worse for wear afterwards. I made myself as my own personal laughing joke. I cried a lot, curled in the fetal position. I felt like scum. I battled my demons. I prayed a lot. I faced my shadows. I noted the irony, having just gotten out of a long term relationship, house and mortgage with a fairly comfortable life to this meager existence. How did I get here?
There came a point when I realized all of the whining and crying wasn't going to help the situation and that the only way out was through. I tried to shift my perspective and look for ways the slums could teach me. What lesson did I need to learn? I got by just knowing that this was temporary. That, like the American's intentionally choosing poverty, I had the resources to opt out if I really wanted to. I knew that this was "just a phase". I never saw it as my permanent reality, only something that I was enduring. Eventually, I opted out two years later, but still live with an income under the American poverty line.
When I was a teen, I was into punk rock. Gutterpunks and squatting and counterculture was always something that interested me, but not something I seriously tried. I was a 'poseur' by most standards, but I loved punk rock ethos. This is another reason why the slums became my home. It became an adventure and a little bit 'punkrock'. I tried to convince myself it would be fun.
Weakness turned into a strength slowly but surely when I began to own up to my alternative decisions. Maybe it was no accident that things turned out the way that they did. Maybe it was a statement from the get go. I've always been unconventional, and into eco-consciousness and sustainability… maybe from my Oregon upbringing. Here was a way to challenge normal ways of living, be minimalist, reject status-quo and consumerism, make a smaller carbon foot print and learn to live with less. My very being is exactly this. While I wouldn't live in the slums again, I definitely plan on living in alternative or minimal spaces in the future.
Lessons I experienced firsthand how poverty is a state of mind, and how some of the happiest people don't have much material wealth, yet live rich, full and thriving lives. It's true when they say money can't buy happiness.
The Philippines are resilient people, and they've made up their own systems and economies within communities to help survive.
I learned that I was living with poverty consciousness in my own life, whether as part of my collective cultural psyche or past experiences, or both. I had to consciously try to work on an abundance mindset, and I still am.
Even though I lived in the slum for two years, it became comfortable. I came to enjoy it, in its own way. I had standards too and chose a decent space. It wasn't the worse slum on the block, and it was behind the "shadow of commerce", a 10 minute walk to the big mall, where I ended up spending most my time. My spending habits didn't quite transition to a "local" and my American habits of frequent Starbucks, eating out everyday, and the occasional shopping stuck out like a sore thumb. It made me really aware of how I spend and how I budget, or lack there of.
Intentional poverty is a journey I don't regret. It's the choice I made when I quit my day job, in an unfulfilled office, and decided to strike out on my own. First, it was a career sabbatical with less than $7,000 to my name, and then it was the bumpy ride of self-employment and aspiring entrepreneurship.
I broke free from the cubicle. I moved and lived abroad. It's been a bumpy ride but I wouldn't change it for the world.
I'm still here. On my own path. What's next?
I'll be living in Thailand for at least a month, and then onward to Europe and new adventures.
I will be offering a new coaching service for people interested in selling their crap, moving abroad, living intentionally and starting an online business. If you're interested in a pay what you can basis, please contact me.

I just received an e-mail from the organizers of BADMath, a one day discrete math conference which travels around the Bay Area, asking me to remind interested parties that the registration deadline is coming up on Wednesday. This year, BADMath will be at Santa Clara university on Saturday, April 24. Registration is free but mandatory. There are often carpools from the large Bay Area universities; if anyone knows if such have been planned this year, please post them in the comments.
I won't be making it to the West Coast this year, but past BADMath's have been excellent. They usually have varied and fun speakers, and a lot of time for socialization. I've heard Dylan's talk before, and can promise that it is very good; a mix of graph theory, algebraic topology, and algebraic geometry.
Berkeley carpooling is being arranged by Raman Sanyal.
Theoretical question, as it's past the registration date…is it OK for random but interested people, not attached to any academic institution, to turn up to something like this?
I can't speak for BADMath in particular, but at most math conference, this would not be a problem. Certainly lack of institutional affiliation shouldn't be.
I'm not an organizer, but I'd expect it would be fine. If you want an official answer, you could shoot the organizers an e-mail.

Juvenile Justice and the Convention on The Rights of the Child
By Vaishnavi Ramesh | Views 7442
The Convention On The Rights Of The Child
The United Nations Convention on the rights of the child is a human rights treaty that helps to define children's political, economic, social, health and cultural rights. [i]
Nations that ratify this convention are bound by international law. Governments of member countries that have ratified the convention are required to report on their progress towards the implementation of the convention and the status of rights of the child in their country to and appear before the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the child periodically. Their findings and documented views and concerns of the Committee are available on the website of the committee.
The convention entered into force on 2nd September 1990, after it had been ratified by the number of nations required. At present 196 countries are party to it, excluding the United States of America. On 25th May 2000 two optional protocols had been adopted the 1st Optional Protocol restricts children's involvement in military conflicts[ii], while the 2nd Optional Protocol prohibits children's sales, child prostitution and child pornography[iii]. More than 170 states ratified both protocols. The 3rd optional protocol relating to communication of grievances was introduced in December 2011 and opened for signature on 28th February 2012. It came into effect on 14th April 2014.[iv]
The relevance of juveniles in the convention of the rights of the child is as follows [v
Article 1 of the convention describes a child as:
A child means every human being below the age of eighteen years unless, under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.
Article 3 of the convention deals with the best interest of the child.
Article 6 of the convention says that the member states must recognise that every child has a right to life.
Article 37(a) of the convention emphasises the prohibition of cruel and inhumane punishment for juveniles and also expressly prohibits the death penalty and life imprisonment for juveniles.
Article 37 (b) of the convention explains that arrest, detention, and imprisonment shall be considered as a measure of last resort.
Article 37(c) of the convention says that children confined must be treated with humanity.
Article 37(d) of the convention shows the significance of the right to legal assistance and to challenge their imprisonment before the Court of Law.
Article 40 of the convention calls for measures dealing with children outside the Court of Law and general legal safeguards.
Article 40(1) emphasises on children accused must be treated with dignity.
Position of Juveniles in Other International Instruments
The UN Standard Minimum Rules for Administration of Juvenile Justice (Beijing Rules), 1985:
General Assembly Resolution 40/33 of 29 November 1985.
The Beijing rules establish minimum conditions acknowledged on a global scale for handling children who are in conflict with the law. Throughout the Beijing rules, the objective of juvenile justice is retained. The Beijing rules provide us with specific measures documenting different phases of juvenile justice. The rules have six parts and it emphasises the rights of the juvenile (article 7), specialization within the police (article 12), competent authority to adjudicate (article 14), represented by legal advisors, parents, and guardians (article 15), need for professionalism and training (Article 22), and Provision of needed assistance (article 24). [vi]
The UN Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile delinquency (Riyadh Guidelines), 1990:
General Assembly Resolution 45/112 of 14 December 1990.
The Riyadh guidelines reinforce the significance of the role of juvenile delinquency in preventing crime.[vii]
The UN Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their liberty (The Havana rules), 1990:
The Havana Rules state that juveniles will benefit from programs intended to help them function in society, family life, schooling or post-release jobs. The competent authorities will have to support the juveniles. [viii]
The UN Guidelines for action on Children in the Criminal Justice System (The Vienna guidelines), 1997:
The Vienna guideline discusses the children in the criminal justice system who are in the context of offenders, victims, and witnesses. By the guidelines, the state interventions are focused on Non-discrimination, the best interest of the child, and the rights of the child in the aspect of life, survival and growth.[ix]
Juvenile Death Penalty
We recognize as a society that children under the age of 18, cannot and do not behave like adults. The execution of juveniles is perceived to be fundamentally inhumane, archaic and in direct contradiction with universal principles of justice. The use of the death penalty against individuals who were younger than 18 at the time of the crime has been prohibited under international human rights law. Whether the age of 18 is too young to assume full adult responsibility for a heinous crime? Some argued that 21 years would be the ideal age, not only because of the rights and responsibilities bestowed by society at that age.
Countries such as the People's Republic of China, Iran, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Sudan, Yemen, The Democratic Republic of the Congo and The United States of America have reported cases involving the death penalty for juveniles.[x]
In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the U.S. Constitution also prohibits individuals to be sentenced to death for crimes committed while they were under 18 years � Roper v. Simons.[xi]
According to a report in the U.K.'s leading newspaper Independent, at least 12 child offenders have been executed by Iran since the beginning of 2018, despite the international uproar. In Iran, the death penalty can be extended to children as soon as they are deemed adults which are for boys it is 15 years and for girls, it is 9 years.[xii]
Imposing blatantly unfair penalty laws against juveniles must be abolished. Especially in Iran although the amendments made to the Islamic Penal Code in 2013 repealed capital punishments for juveniles found guilty of violating drug-related offences. Article 91 of the code also requires the judge to assess the mental capacity of the juvenile offender before issuing a death sentence and also to replace the death penalty with alternative punishment based on the offender's mental maturity. [xiii]
There are ways out there to stop juveniles from committing these heinous crimes and in particular to prevent them from ending up on death row. As per the report of Death Penalty Information Centre, in 2013, 72 juveniles are living on death row at this moment. [xiv]
The need for significant transformations in the judiciary of the countries imposing the death penalty on juveniles is desperately needed not just to save the lives of the juveniles and also to eradicate this inhuman practice.
Recommending Factors That Strengthen This Convention
The convention on the rights of the child requires nations to ensure that no child is forced to testify or acknowledge crime, and subjected to abuse or inhumane treatment or punishment.
The administration of juvenile justice must aim at a child-friendly approach and work for the best interest of the juveniles. Juvenile justice should uphold the dignity of every juvenile who makes contact with the law.
The police have the first contact with the juveniles. Hence, the police force must be highly comprised of persons having special knowledge and expertise to work with juveniles.
UN Guidelines and standards on juvenile justice signify a transition towards the juveniles. They have all been established as a point of reference for those who engaged in the administration of the juvenile justice system in the world along with the juveniles.
It is better to establish a separate unit or appoint skilled employees who will focus on the issues involving juveniles.
The accountability for the transformation resides primarily in the nation's hand although the society and public at large can actively participate in influencing the nation to make reforms.
