June Election: Referendum questions
Published in the Portland Phoenix
All Maine voters — whether you are registered as a member of a particular party or not — get to vote on five questions on June 8.
First is a PEOPLE'S VETO, repealing a law that would give Maine a flat 6.5-percent income-tax rate (changing from a graduated rate with the highest bracket at 8.5 percent for people with income over $16,700) and make up the money lost by expanding the sales tax to a wide range of services including auto repair, tickets to movies and performing-arts events, sightseeing tours, pet-care services, bar cover charges (for live-music venues), and admission to amusement parks. A "Yes" vote is for repeal; a "No" vote supports the new law.
Second is a $26.5 MILLION BOND FOR "ENERGY INDEPENDENCE," giving $11 million to off-shore wind development (which will also draw $24.5 million in federal and other funds) and $15.5 million to energy-efficiency improvements at the University of Maine, community colleges, and Maine Maritime Academy.
Question 3 is a $47.8 MILLION TRANSPORTATION BOND to spend $24.8 million to improve highways, $16 million for railroads (plus designating an additional $4 million from last November's transportation bond for railroads), and $6.5 million for a deep-water pier at Portland's Ocean Gateway terminal.
Question 4 is a $23.8 MILLION ECONOMIC-DEVELOPMENT BOND including $8 million for redevelopment of the Brunswick Naval Air Station, $11 million for various business-grant programs, and $1.25 million for purchasing historic properties for preservation.
Question 5 is a $10.3 MILLION WATER-QUALITY BOND supporting improving water supplies for drinking and for agriculture, as well as improving household and municipal wastewater treatment systems. If approved, this bond will draw as much as $33.3 million in federal and other funds to augment these projects.

Up-and-Comers Dept.: Deering High musician having a banner year
You might have caught 18-year-old Dominic Sbrega on NPR's From the Top last week, playing Mexican folk-dance music on his stand-up bass, accompanying three trumpeters (from the Washington DC area), two 17-year-old Maine percussionists, and show host Christopher O'Riley on piano.
If you're a road-tripping music fan, you also might have caught Sbrega in California, performing in the Grammy Jazz Ensembles back in January as part of the week leading up to the Grammy Awards ceremony. But if you're a jazz fan, it's pretty much a sure thing that you'll see him performing on even larger stages at some point not too long from now.
Sbrega plays the upright bass in classical, jazz, and (apparently) Mexican folk pieces, and is also one of seven high-school students recognized this year by DownBeat magazine for outstanding performance. In the fall, he'll head to Rochester, New York, to attend the Eastman School of Music to study jazz performance on the bass.
A Deering High School senior at the moment, Sbrega is unimpressed with the Rams' music program, saying the facilities are fine but the people could be more dedicated. Of course, he sets a high bar: In addition to performing with the Portland Youth Symphony Orchestra and various all-state music ensembles, he spent two weeks last summer taking master classes at Eastman. Keep your eyes — and ears — out for his return to town, but after a very busy winter and spring, he says, "I think I might take a little bit of a break" over the summer.

Follow-up: Attorneys cleared
Three attorneys who faced allegations of professional misconduct (see "CMP Attorney, State Regulators Under Review," by Jeff Inglis, April 2) have been cleared of wrongdoing by a committee of the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar, according to a ruling issued last week.
The three had been the objects of a complaint from Bob Bemis of Levant, stemming from how they handled communications with him and with staff of the Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC) during a regulatory proceeding.
Ken Farber, the general counsel for Central Maine Power, was given the cleanest bill of health, with the board noting in its ruling that the person charged with proving the allegations, Jacqueline Gomes, admitted during last month's hearing on the matter that he had done nothing wrong.
Eric Bryant, an attorney for the Maine Office of the Public Advocate, had admitted failing to send a copy of a single e-mail message to Bemis and another party in the proceeding, but the review board's report says that error was "of little consequence," and the e-mail contained "no new information" that needed to be provided to Bemis. As a result of those facts, he was also found not to have violated any rules of the bar.
Joanne Steneck, general counsel for the PUC, was found to have been "operating under the sincere, though perhaps mistaken belief" that Bemis and another party to the proceeding had agreed to let her communicate without sending copies of correspondence to them. The report suggested a couple of things Steneck could have done that "would have been better practice," but because she was operating in good faith and because the report said no serious damage was done by her actions, she was also found not to have violated any rules.
Press Releases: Poor WGME
As the gubernatorial primary date inches closer, we're starting to see more and more TV ads showing would-be governors touting themselves and their qualifications for the job. But this year is a little different: We're not seeing any Democrats advertising on WGME, the Sinclair-owned CBS affiliate that broadcasts on Channel 13 from Portland.
That's unusual, though the ostensible reason isn't: there is an ongoing dispute between unionized station employees and management, and the Dems want to be seen supporting union workers.
More unusual, though, is that the station's general manager, Tom Humpage, went public to complain about it. Naturally, though, he barely even mentioned the real issue: money.
In a video statement that went out on the airwaves and streamed online, Humpage lamented the candidates' decisions, but he appeared unclear about how to approach them. Should he cozy up to these people who are depriving his business of cash, or get angry?
First, he went courtly, calling their decision "surprising . . . given that WGME is one of the most watched stations in Portland." (That's true; WGME has posted strong ratings for individual news programs, and is generally in second place for viewership in the Portland-Auburn market, though very far behind top-rated WCSH 6, the Gannett-owned NBC affiliate.)
But Humpage, who did not return phone calls seeking comment for this story, quickly got combative, pointing out a few facts in his favor: the union is not on strike (true), the station is "not violating any state or federal labor laws" (true, though a union-filed unfair labor practices complaint with the National Labor Relations Board has yet to be ruled upon), and that WGME "employs more union employees than any other television station in all of Maine" (a claim that is nearly impossible to prove either way).
We can forgive him for being worked up — and confused. This is not a total Democrat boycott of WGME: all the Democratic candidates participated in an April 28 debate televised on that channel and moderated by WGME news anchor Gregg Lagerquist.
But while they seem happy to take the free airtime and face-time from the station, they're not giving anything back. And that's really what has Humpage upset. The amounts in question are significant. In 2002, for example (the last time the governor's race was for an open seat), the 15 candidates spent more than $2.5 million on television advertising (more than half of all campaign spending in that race). In 2006, with a Democratic incumbent facing a primary and a host of Republican challengers, TV ad spending for the governor's race still hit $2.2 million. (Legislative revenue is minuscule by comparison — combined, all the State House candidates in 2008 spent barely over $75,000 in TV ads.)
Already in this year's gubernatorial campaign, the 30 candidates have collectively spent nearly $1 million on TV ads alone, a pace that suggests the final tally will be much higher. It's reasonable for Humpage to want to get a cut of that spending, and for him to be upset at learning that his station's union relations are hurting that possibility.
Of course, that money is split across as many as seven TV stations around the state, but it's money WGME was certainly planning on receiving that now it has to scramble to make up. (By contrast, Gannett as an overall corporation reported the Olympics drove significant gains in first-quarter advertising and is projecting as much as 20-percent increases in the second quarter.)
So little wonder that by the end of his video rant, Humpage's temper had gotten the better of him. He ended by cutting off his nose to spite his face, all but endorsing any of the Republicans in the race, by virtue of endorsing against every single Democrat: "What does it say about a candidate if he or she makes an important decision without all of the facts and without understanding all of the consequences. Is that really someone you want representing you as your governor?"

Top Prospect Among Blackhawks' Roster Cuts
Published Oct 2, 2015 at 11:37 AM
CHICAGO, IL - SEPTEMBER 22: Marko Dano #56 of the Chicago Blackhawks battles for the puck with Brendan Smith #2 of the Detroit Red Wings during a preseason game at the United Center on September 22, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
With the regular season just five days away, the Chicago Blackhawks made several roster moves on Friday as they sent down some of their top prospects.
Headlining the list is Marko Dano, whom the team acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Brandon Saad swap. Dano impressed coaches and fans during training camp, but his preseason performances weren't quite up to snuff, and the team has opted to send him down to Rockford for more seasoning.
The Blackhawks also sent down Vincent Hinostroza (who had an excellent game in a 5-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday), Brandon Mashinter, Dennis Rasmussen, and Garret Ross. Defensemen Erik Gustafsson and Ville Pokka have also been demoted to Rockford.
Dano's demotion is surely performance based to a degree, but it's also a reflection of how well Kyle Baun has played. Both players can be sent down to Rockford without having to clear waivers, so the Blackhawks went with the hot hand as they prepare for the regular season.
The moves leave the Blackhawks with 13 forwards, nine defensemen, and three goaltenders on the roster. The deadline to finalize the regular season roster comes next week, and by that date the Hawks will likely jettison one goaltender (Michael Leighton) and at least two defensemen as they look to carry 22 or 23 players on the roster.

Boogie es un álbum recopilatorio de la banda estadounidense The Jackson 5 que da nombre también a una variante de la música disco. Se lo lanzó tras la publicación del disco de estudio del grupo Destiny (1979). Boogie es considerado el lanzamiento más raro de Jackson 5/Jacksons. En él aparecen las características musicales de este fenómeno musical de finales de los '70, en el cual se empiezan a incluir sonidos electrónicos como parte de la composición musical.

Orígenes y composición
En 1979, la banda avanzó en el top 10 con su disco Destiny, publicado por Epic, y su éxito «Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)». Michael comenzó a grabar Off the Wall ese año y Motown quería dinero en su suceso renovado con Boogie en el sello Natural Resources.

Cinco de siete canciones eran produccione inéditas de Hal Davis, algunos de la línea «Pride and Joy» en un «Joyful Jukebox Music» con «I Was Made To Love Her» y «Love's Gone Bad». Bobby Taylor produjo «Oh, I've Been Blessed» y se grabó en los comienzos del grupo Motown.

Boogie, con Joyful Jukebox Music, fueron distribuidos por un muy corto período, y el disco sigue siendo lo más raro de Jackson 5. En 2004, se lo habilitó por un tiempo limitado de Hip-O Select, para complementar el set de reediciones de álbumes de la banda titulado "2 discos en 1 CD" (2001) de Motown, en donde algunas de esas canciones eran puestas como bonus tracks. A pesar de que solo 5000 copias se prensaron, el disco contiene más de 15 minutos inéditos del tema «Hum Along and Dance». Está habilitado en iTunes.

Trapped in the Purgatory of a Big Refactoring
Sometimes, it's not just a method that needs refactoring, or even a class. Sometimes it's several large packages with a spider web of dependents that just need a complete "rehacktoring." This can happen when years of legacy code build up in a system. It is complicated by the fact that the thing you want to change or delete or rename or move has tendrils of dependents spread all across the system, sometimes into classloaders and reflection and dynamic scripts that you cannot begin to search-and-replace all of. It is going to be a big, long slog into the swamp.
We don't want our massive change to be a surprise to our team, though. We want to commit and merge the bits as we're going along. They don't represent complete refactorings. We might have pulled out a class just to put some code in a separate place, knowing that down the road we're going to merge it together with some other class and move that other method somewhere else. We're not quite sure where it's all going, but we have to do it and hope no one tries to use that stuff before it gets to where it needs to be.
Refactorings are supposed to be small, targeted, and usable when they are finished, but sometimes massively entangled legacy code doesn't afford that luxury. We have to start tearing things apart somewhere, knowing that there's eventually a light at the end of the tunnel. The problem is that to those we work with, that light might look like an oncoming train.
Large refactorings are large. They may involve writing a mountain of new tests, breaking up odd dependencies in sometimes ugly ways, splitting of pieces that, out of a larger context, don't make a whole lot of sense. Large refactorings are exhausting. The person doing them (and usually it's only a person or two at a time) has a finite amount of time, energy, and mental capacity. There's only so much pretzel logic a person can look at in a day, week, or month before they become exhausted. There may also be a lot of moving parts. Because of the tangled web of dependencies, this refactoring here might need to take a break until that one over there is done.
To the people not doing the refactoring, this seems like a lot of wasted energy. Large legacy codebases are not going to change overnight. Sometimes the resistance goes deeper to a belief that there's nothing wrong with that legacy code. All of these little code changes don't really make that much of a different. On top of that, there are real features that need to get done and out the door. Trying to rewrite the whole system doesn't add any customer value.
Because of these competing forces, out big refactoring ends up in a purgatory of sorts, too far away from being finished and to tiring to keep doing. Because of all the half-done changes, the codebase can actual get worse. Maybe that light is an oncoming train?
How can we get these big refactorings out of code purgatory? Well, I can say that isn't a train (usually). Adding a good suite of tests will always benefit development, if nothing else good comes out. Big refactorings executed successfully, though, can be almost magical at the end, radically transforming not just the codebase, but the entire way that the code is written from then on. Features can be added more quickly and more cleanly. Separating concerns means that parts can be reused in ways that were unimaginable before. The code can be leaner, cleaner, and more efficient.
The way out is to keep going, but at a measured pace. Though refactoring can feel great, adding new features and improving the value of the software is equally important. It is not more important because investing in code quality has a value itself. It is not less important because without creating customer value, the software can't generate enough revenue to sustain itself. There must be a reasonable balance between the two. The dividends of a big refactoring are not paid immediately, but they are significant when they come. The person doing the refactoring needs to keep motivated and passionate. That may mean taking breaks from the refactoring on occasion so to not burn out on it. The people not doing the refactoring need to give understanding and support that this will help the code when done correctly. They may need to see a roadmap to understand where it's all going, but they also need to understand that part of refactoring is discovering the path as we go.
The promised land of big refactorings is real, even if we have to wander in the desert a while first.

Break Down Code to Make It DRYer
We are always looking to make our code DRYer. Code that is not repeated is easier to maintain. We can make a change in just one place rather than hunting for different incarnations in many different places. Making code DRYer is not always easy, and sometimes how to remove the duplication is not apparent.
Let's say we have the following two functions:
public List<Stats> processLines(File file) { List<Stats> stats = new ArrayList<>(); for (String line : lines(file)) { Data data = extractDataFrom(line); Stats dataStats = calculateStatsFor(data); stats.add(dataStats); } return stats; } public List<Stats> processLines(List<File> files) { List<Stats> stats = new ArrayList<>(); int fileNumber = 0; for (File file : files) { for (String line : lines(file)) { Data data = extractDataFrom(line, fileNumber); Stats dataStats = calculateStatsFor(data); st…

Q: Quantifying internal consistency with multiple raters and continuous rating scales I have data from an assessment where people are rated by multiple raters on a set of criteria using a rating scale that is (essentially) interval. All people are rated by all raters.
I believe that each criteria measures an aspect of a unidimensional latent variable, and I'd like to quantify the internal consistency of the assessment. To give a toy example, the data would look like this:
Person Rater Criteria1 Criteria2
     A    R1      17.5      25.3
     A    R2      19.4      23.8
     B    R1      26.5      31.2
     B    R2      24.7      33.8

If there was only one rater per person then I could simply calculate a statistic like Cronbach's alpha. Intuitively, though, it would seem that having multiple scores per person could inflate the coefficient.
Is there any other way to quantify internal consistency that take into account the fact that there are multiple observations of the same variable per person? I could perhaps take a mean score for each criteria across the raters for each person and calculate Cronbach's alpha (or something similar) from that, but I'd be interested to know if there are any alternatives.

Arts and Humanities Education Philosophy
Art is a wonderful vehicle for discovery, creativity, and revealing one's authentic self. Storytelling is the language of the entire human race. It is a shared experience by all. As a result, the art of storytelling holds the power to unite, heal, and provide opportunities for authentic, organic learning.
Why is Diane an advocate for Arts and Humanities Education?
When asked, "Why did you leave classroom teaching to become a storyteller?" My response is simple, "I did not leave to stop teaching, I left to REALLY teach in a way and medium that works best for me and my audience."
How does she promote Arts and Humanities Education?
As a storyteller, I never "take off" my art form. I am always engaged in the narrative of the moment that lifts people up and brings people together.

Baldus Works For You
A New Voice for Central Wisconsin
My wife, Amy, and I live with our two children, Aidan and Chloe, in Hull, WI, along with our rescue dogs: Kipper, Izzy, and Mazie.
I currently work at McCain Foods, having previously worked in industry, the WI State Legislature, the WI Office of Energy Independence, and on biodiversity energy projects.
I have a strong interest in representative government, and I believe I can serve you well.
I grew up in a political environment. My father, Al Badus, served in the Assembly. He was also elected to Congress in 1975, and represented 3rd District until 1981.
Our conversations were frequently about public policies and issues. It is what I heard during my formative years and as I went on to college and adulthood.
My political life began early. When I was only two weeks old, I went with my family to WI 3rd District political rallies and parades with my buggy decked out in campaign buttons. My first eight years were spent in the Washington, DC area. We then moved back to Wisconsin, where I attended grade school in Prescott,
In our free time, we went with my father to the Hackensack hunting cabin in the Flambeau Forest near Ingram, WI. Conservation and water quality issues remain a priority in my life.
Learning Teamwork
My high school years in Menomonie were filled with sports and friendship. A member of the high school football and track teams, I learned leadership and commitment.
A severe pole-vaulting accident ended my sports ambitions at the end of my senior year. This accident also taught me the value of treating people right. The outpouring of support from area track teams that we competed against helped fuel my recovery and further cemented my understanding of good sportsmanship and friendship.
I believe involvement in sports teaches collaboration, teamwork, and fair play, all of which are important in our social and work lives. This has been my emphasis throughout my career, my current work at McCain Foods and, most recently, coaching boy's and girl's soccer for Portage County Youth Soccer. It is a skill I believe I can take to the Assembly to craft legislation benefiting citizens of our region and State.
Paying my own way through college at UW Stout, I worked several jobs. The most fulfilling was coaching high school football & track at my alma mater, Menomonie High School. And I had the great opportunity to teach downhill skiing at a small family ski hill in Wabasha, MN.
Spending six years at UW-Stout, I have a good understanding of the great value and importance the UW System brings to our state. College provided me opportunities I never considered possible. Attending UW-Stout gave me the chance to study in Scotland & Russia, even allowing me to work at the United States Embassy in Moscow Russia.
These experiences helped shape a sound foundation for how Wisconsin participates in the national & internal economies. Most importantly, these experiences helped me appreciate what Wisconsin has to offer, and they are the reason Amy and I chose to start our family in Wisconsin. We have deep roots Wisconsin, and hope to continue growing those roots deeper as our family grows here.
I am a proud citizen of our district and our state. Like many, I have had my ups and downs, and I have learned hard lessons.

Secession Oriented States Get More From Feds Than They Give
I learned from the Los Angeles Times, Poll: Nearly One in Four in America Would Favor Secession. In one way, this doesn't matter in the least. It seems that there is always about a third of the American people who are in favor of anything. But this is probably a real thing. Still, the Times is wrong to claim that, "Nearly one out of four Americans is so fed up with Washington that they are prepared to not take it any more and would favor their state breaking away from the rest of the United States." I doubt that's true, even if the writer is trying to be cute. What it probably means is that one-quarter of Americans are just crazy.
The data come from a Reuters/Ipsos poll. It also found that men were more in favor of leaving the union as were poor people (probably an indication that they lived in poor states more than that poor people in New York want to leave the union). It is above all an indication that there are a lot of frustrated and angry Americans. A whopping 53% of people who identified with the Tea Party want to leave the United States. This goes along with what I've long said: there is a strong tendency towards treason in the conservative movement.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the details of the data. It looks like they just didn't release it for each state. It is very possible they didn't have enough data to do a state by state analysis. But going off the regions in the map above, I decided to take a look at just how reasonable dropping out of the union is. As is well documented, the states where the people most complain about the federal government are generally the states that get the most money from the federal government. No one ever said Americans were rational.
I'm sure you've seen maps that show how much a particular state gets back from the federal government for each dollar it puts in. The biggest determinant of this is the age of the population. Like Florida gets a whole lot more back because there are so many retired people. Nonetheless, this percentage does tell us a lot about how different states would get along by themselves. But there is a problem: those maps you've seen are almost all wrong. That's because they usually represent a single year. Things change a lot over the years. So what I did was to do the ten year average from the data fro 2004 through 2013. Then, to get the regional values, I did a weighted average based upon how much total money they send in federal taxes.
I only did the calculation for three regions: West, Southwest, and New England. I'm especially interested in the last two because they represent the most and least interested in leaving the country. The return on federal taxes for the regions are as follows:
$0.85 West
$1.19 Southwest
$0.86 New England
In other words: the states are want to leave the union are the ones who depend most upon it. Now some might take exception with the Southwest, because Texas is generally presented as a state that pays more in federal taxes than they get back. While that is true of some years and was true of last year, it hasn't generally been true. For the last decade, Texas has received $1.02 for every dollar it has sent to the federal government.
But let's face it: this isn't about economics. People who want to leave the United States want to do it for cultural reasons. They want to deny same sex couples equal rights. They want to make abortion illegal. And not to put too fine a point on it, but there are a lot more people than you think who want to deny rights to different races and to bring back Jim Crow or worse.
Still, it is interesting to see that economically it doesn't make sense. And I have little doubt that those who call for secession think that the federal government is screwing them in terms of taxes as well.

I think the phrase you're looking for is "fucking hoopleheads."
Not that it'll ever happen, but in an ideal word I wouldn't mind anyone seceding anytime they wanted. We know what would happen, though. They'd continue screwing their own citizens and blaming Washington, and it would eventually lead to war.
I read an interesting thing recently, by the late Paul Wellstone, an account of political activism in an impoverished farming area. (Written before his Senate career.) In this particular area you had a handful of profitable large employers that paid shit for wages. If a new employer saw untapped opportunity — say, moving in, paying better than the shit wages, and siphoning the best workers from the existing large employers (they wouldn't even have to pay all that much more), the existing large employers kept them out of Dodge. All the while, naturally, blaming the area's stark economic growth on Big Gummint Regulations. It wouldn't surprise me a lick if this sort of thing isn't more common than we know.
Fucking hoopleheads!

You are right about wars. As it was, there have been water waters in the west in the not so distant past. What's amazing among those who want to secede is that it all goes back to the Civil War. Yet they have no problem being associated with slavery. They don't even argue, "Slavery was wrong, but states have a right to secede!" It's mostly cultural anyway. I'm sure those in Alabama who most want to secede are not in Birmingham.
And the wage thing is a farce. If the oh so liberal Silicon Valley companies conspired to keep wages low, what do you think happens everywhere else? And who was at the center of that? None other than the hipster's wet dream, Steve Nut Jobs. The serious nerds know, but I wish the rest of the world would realize that Apple is one of the most evil companies around, and has been since the mid-1980s.
And we all need to wake up to the fact that in almost all circumstances labor markets are monopsonies. This is yet another reason why we need a guaranteed minimum income.

ICE ARRESTS INCREASE AS DREAMERS DEADLINE PASSES
ICE ARRESTS INCREASE AS DREAMERS DEADLINE PASSES A few weeks ago Congress attempted to protect dreamers and provide a much-needed bipartisan immigration solution. Four proposals were brought before the Senate and all four bills failed to get the necessary votes for Congress to keep its word and protect the Dreamers by week's end. With all the attention surrounding Congress' open immigration debate in early February, many may not have noticed the large amounts of arrests and ICE raids in the Los Angeles area. Los Angeles, a targeted sanctuary city, has been the focus of the Trump administration due to its reputation [...]

Harsh Immigration Enforcement Continues Under Trump
HARSH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT TACTICS CONTINUE AS CHILDREN ARE SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS Separating children from parents seeking asylum is a crisis and the result of a broken immigration system that is constantly being attacked and degraded by the president.

One of the many heart wrenching stories comes from Molly Hennessy-Fiske with the Los Angeles Times. She reports on a Brazilian woman and her son who were separated at the border in [...]

Senate Fails to Protect Dreamers as all Immigration Bills Bombed Yesterday
Senate Fails to Protect Dreamers as all Immigration Bills Bombed Yesterday By: The Fogle Law Firm, LLC Congress and lawmakers have again disappointed the nation. The Senate put four immigration bills yesterday up for a vote in hopes to make good on their promise to protect the Dreamers who risk deportation after March 5th, absent two Federal Courts blocking that action by the Trump Administration. All four bills failed to muster enough votes to make any headway on a bipartisan immigration solution. After a government shutdown and months of negotiations, the Senate ends this week in a stalemate. It's been almost [...]

It's been a long time since I've uploaded any side view airliner templates, but I'm feeling inspired to start working on my collection again. Next up in this series of illustrations is the Airbus A330-200 with Rolls Royce engines. Why did I choose this as the next aircraft template to create? Simple. I really (really) want to do a detailed illustration of the Hawaiian Airlines livery, and I think it looks the best on this aircraft.
The problem was that I actually started this template right after finishing my 747-400 set last year. I started the project with a lot of vigor – all I could think about was the end result, but I quickly realized that I didn't have the energy (and time) to create yet another detailed template. The wireframe line drawings take a long time to do, and then creating a blank all white shaded version is a pretty big effort on top of that. I just didn't have it in me at the time.
But now that I've been away from this for so long, I decided to dig out what I started and power through it to completion. And now that it's finished, I'm feeling pretty good about it. After all, the Airbus A340 shares the same fuselage as the A330, so I basically killed two birds with one stone on this one. Of course the wing and engines are slightly different, but the major structure is largely the same.
I'd like to mention one final thing about these A330-200 drawings. This aircraft, when sitting on the ground, has a very pronounced nose-down attitude which is very unique from a lot of other aircraft. I debated whether or not I should include that downward slope in my templates, as these drawings are intended to be base-layer starting points for anyone wanting to edit them or add their own livery. It's more difficult to add graphics to an angled object such as this, so it was a tough call to make. In the end, I decided to keep the flat angle for both the wireframe and shaded white illustrations. If you would like to angle it as it sits on the ground in real life, rotate it counterclockwise 6 degrees.

Q: Calculate the exact time difference using moment JS I need to calculate the exact time diffrence using moment JS .
My JS code is :
var a = moment(from_url);
                a.format('DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss');
                var b = moment(to_url);
                b.format('DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss');

                console.log("from URL")
                var from_hours = from_url()
                console.log(b.diff(a, 'minutes')) //
                console.log(b.diff(a, 'hours')) //
                console.log(b.diff(a, 'days')) //
                console.log(b.diff(a, 'weeks')) //

                console.log("Time interval: "+b.diff(a, 'days')+ " days "+ b.diff(a, 'hours') +" hours " +b.diff(a, 'minutes')+" mintes");

Now,
from_url = '2016-05-03T08:00:00';
to_url = '2016-05-04T09:00:00';

Now, for these timings, I am getting output as :
 Time interval: 1 days 25 hours 1500 minutes It is converting everything to the days (1 day ~25 hours).
However, the output that I want is : 1 day 1 hour 0 minutes.
Can anyone please help me in this ?
I am newbie to JS and unable to figure this out.
Thanks.

A: To parse strings, you should always tell the parser the format you are providing. Moment.js can help with that, but you can also use your own small functions.
For getting the difference in days, hours, etc. you can simply subtract one date from another to get milliseconds, then convert that to the format you want.
Note that date arithmetic is not simple, there are many rules that change depending on custom or administrative rules. Also, when going over daylight saving boundaries, some days are 23 hours long and some 25.
The following is a simple approach that does not take account of daylight saving. Hopefully the comments are sufficient, play with the output format to get whatever you need.

// Parse ISO format string as local, ignore timezone
// E.g. 2016-05-29T23:32:15
function parseISOLocal(s) {
  // Split string into its parts
  var b = s.split(/\D/);
  // Create and return a date object
  return new Date(b[0], b[1]-1, b[2], b[3], b[4], b[5]);
}

// Convert a millisecond value to days, hours, minutes and seconds
function formatDHMS(ms) {
  // Helper to add 's' to a number if other than 1
  function addS(n){return n == 1? '' : 's';}

  // Get the whole values of each unit, rounded down ( |0 truncates)
  var d =  ms/8.64e7 | 0;          // days
  var h = (ms%8.64e7) / 3.6e6 | 0; // hours
  var m = (ms%3.6e6)  / 6e4 | 0;   // minutes
  var s = (ms%6e4)    / 1e3 | 0;   // seconds

  // Return a formatted string
  return d + ' day' + addS(d) + ', ' +
         h + ' hour' + addS(h) + ', ' +
         m + ' minute' + addS(m) + ' and ' +
         s + ' second' + addS(s);
}

document.write(formatDHMS(parseISOLocal('2016-05-04T09:00:00') - parseISOLocal('2016-05-03T08:00:00')))

Aquino-Marcos Showdown While Waiting for the Supreme Court Decision
Bongbong Marcos patiently awaits the decision of the Supreme Court on his electoral protest. However, his supporters do not have the same patience. Various loyalist groups stage protests here and there because of lack of updates on the case. The presumptive VP also creates a stir when she announces that her lead over Marcos even increases after the recount of his 3 pilot provinces. Despite the uncertainty, there are some who manage the dispute from the roots of it all through humor. Therefore, the Marcos-Aquino showdown emerges.
YouTube video by
Bagong Lipunan
[VIDEO]: Bongbong Marcos versus Noynoy Aquino (Round 4) Talent Showdown.
BS Aquino on Frank Sinatra's Watch What Happens
Former President Benigno Simeon Aquino III may not have the traits of a singer but at least he had the guts. He still mesmerizes rumored ex-girlfriend Shalani Soledad amidst the crowd. He is even glad that the former Valenzuela City councilor and TV host has finally "found someone." She got married to another local politician, Roman Romulo. As for him, he can only watch happens as per the lyrics of Frank Sinatra's song.
BBM's Version of Hey Jude by the Beatles
Bongbong Marcos, on the other hand, can't be bothered with an impromptu singing performance when he sings the Beatles' Hey Jude with a live band in a bar. He is not a stranger of those activities knowing the parties previously organized privately by her mother, former First Lady Imelda Marcos. In fact, the Marcos matriarch and patriarch were known as a singing couple.
Ex-Pnoy Goes OPM with Student Blues
Kris Aquino, ex-Pnoy's controversial singer is also seen very supportive to his brother as he struggles for the notes of Estudyante Blues, an OPM. Along with Shalani, Kris also cheers for him from the crowd. She also tries to sing along with the lyrics.
BBM Brings to Life John Lennon's, Imagine
Another nationalistic rendition in the tune of John Lennon's, Imagine creates an outpour of emotions as Marcos tries his best to give justice to the song. It is indeed very obvious that it is not just for the show. He truly loves singing. Just like the loyalists who support him at the Supreme Court ever since many years ago. They are there in front of the Supreme Court for their love of the Marcoses.
Supreme Court Showdown
In an urgent motion, Robredo recently cites the results of the recent revision, recount, and re-appreciation of ballots from 3 provinces chosen by Marcos. His lawyer Romulo Macalintal who is one of the Ocho Diretso losers said that her lead over Marcos widens by as much as 15,000 votes. This is actually not a confirmed report. Marcos' lawyer, Vic Rodriguez, said there were no official findings yet from the Supreme Court that sits as the PET.

Ferdie Pasion: There's No Marcos Ill-gotten Wealth but there are Many Dilawan Thieves
Political analyst Ferdie Pasion, chairman of Nat-Fil ( Nationalist Filipinos Against Foreign Intervention) said that Former First Lady and now Congresswoman, Imelda Marcos is a victim of the Dilawan's media propaganda. Her conviction is widely announced even if it is not executory yet. He has two major questions that made his analysis logical. Were the amounts of money transferred to Swiss accounts public funds? Was Madame Marcos' name included in the registrations of the said foundations? The 7 counts of graft cases that she found guilty of by Sandiganbayan are mere legal proceedings. Rep. Marcos is entitled to due process like everyone else. For one, she cannot steal her own wealth. In fact, it's the Dilawans who have heavier cases of corruption, he added.
Youtube Video by Talk News TV
[VIDEO]: Analyzing the Imelda Marcos Case -with Ferdie Pasion.
Due Process of Law
Rep. Imelda Marcos (Ilocos Norte) is allowed to avail herself of legal remedies as per the due process of law. However, the Dilawan media already made conclusions that the Marcoses have stolen wealth. In reality, "any party aggrieved by a ruling of a court can seek remedies from the court itself (i.e. motion for reconsideration) or from a higher court (appeal or certiorari)." Most news only highlights the ruling that is not yet final.
ARTICLE III, Section 1 states that: No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the laws. This is applicable to all citizens of the country including Rep. Marcos. The Dilawans have no reason to celebrate. The amounts transferred are too large for the country's coffer. How can it be stolen when the Philippines never had it?
Corruption Cases of the Dilawans
Pasion said that there are many more graft and corruption cases committed by the Dilawans that just went quiet. Take the case of Former president Benigno Aquino III. He may not leave the country amid a string of criminal charges he is facing over the controversial Dengvaxia vaccine. Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra revealed that the lookout bulletin order (LBO) issued against Aquino, former health secretary Janette Garin and former budget secretary Florencio Abad Jr. stays as the DOJ has yet to resolve the charges of multiple homicide and physical injuries through negligence under the Revised Penal Code, malversation of public funds and violations of Republic Act 3019 (Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act) and RA 9184 (Government Procurement Reform Act) filed against them by Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption and Vanguard of the Philippine Constitution Inc. last February. This is only one of the many offenses committed against the public.
Not Yet Executory
The anti-graft court previously ordered the arrest of Ilocos Norte Representative Marcos. However, she got her temporary freedom at Php 150,000 bail while she faces the charges against her. She can still run for governor in the mid-term elections until the Sandiganbayan's decision becomes final and executory but this is unlikely because the former first lady's documentary evidence on the transactions is intact.
Imelda Marcos' Wealth
The Sandiganbayan once convicted the former First Lady of a graft case in 1993, but the Supreme Court overturned the anti-graft court's decision in 2003. It saved her from a 12-year prison sentence. This shows that it is impossible to legally convict a person as a thief when she can prove that the wealth in possession is their own. Therefore, the highly publicized conviction is nothing but a media propaganda by the Dilawans.

Former Senator Bongbong Marcos Pursues Mamasapano Case, Verifies Chain of Command Lapse
While Vice President Leni Robredo is busy for her alleged anti-poverty media stunts, Bongbong Marcos continues to work with the Du30 administration on the Mamasapano case. He investigated it first when he was still a senator. However, the ex-leader in question, BS Aquino ignored all hearings. In his capacity as a private entity, he assures the widows of the US-trained police commandos killed in the Mamasapano massacre three years ago that they are not alone in their battle for justice. They may be "Fallen but indeed not Forgotten,"
[VIDEO]: There's no stopping Bongbong Marcos'quest to gather bits and pieces to clarify lapse in the chain of command that caused the demise of the SAF 44.
Keeping the Memory Alive
The widows, hold a public showing in Zamboanga City of the documentary, "Fallen Not Forgotten." Caelistis Productions produces the documentary in memory of the SAF 44. Lawyer Felipe Cruz and director Sally Jo Bellosillo are the producers. It features interviews with survivors of "Oplan: Exodus," the SAF operation to get Marwan on Jan. 25, 2015. The show is also available in movie houses at 34 Robinsons and SM shopping malls across the country for a limited time.
Marcos' "Fallen Not Forgotten" Video
Prior to the Jan. 25 3rd year Mamasapano massacre anniversary, Bongbong Marcos features his second video series. The title is "Fallen Not Forgotten" as a tribute to the unsung heroes. This is accessible via Youtube. It gives assurance to their surviving family members that the process may be slow but it is ongoing.
Chain of Command Lapse
While charges are filed against people who they believe were responsible for the unfortunate event, the progress is not substantial. These include the former President Benigno Aquino III and former PNP Director General Alan Purisima. Marcos believes that the major factor in the debacle lies in the chain of command lapse. Aside from making Aquino accountable if proven to be at fault, former Senator Marcos calls for the peace process to be finalized. This would prevent Filipinos from killing each other, he said.

Joma Sison Like Robredo Accuses Bongbong Marcos, Du30 of Fake News
Communist Party of the Philippines founder Joma Sison said that he is always a target of Bongbong Marcos' trolls. While in exile, he discloses that he does not pay any attention to those alleged fake news. The allegations that he is very wealthy abroad and that Ninoy Aquino and he masterminded the Plaza Miranda grenade bombing in 1971 are obviously false, Sison added.

Fake News?
Sison takes his latest arrest pronouncement in the Netherlands over alleged murder charges back home as another fake news. He attributed it this time to President Duterte's troll army. He retaliates by calling the President the worst kind of terrorist who even surpasses the alleged dictatorship of the late President Ferdinand Marcos.
Target of Bongbong Marcos
The CPP founder complains that he has long been a target of Bongbong Marcos' troll army. He said that the two bogus news websites which reported his so-called arrest by Dutch operatives for his alleged involvement in the assassination of three communist leaders in the Philippines in 2003 and 2006 are a mere rehash of his arrest by Dutch policemen in 2007.
Social Media Trolls
Sison admits that fake news in social media is effective in the short term. However, it won't last long. "If there are truth teams in the central and chapters of patriotic and democratic organizations, they can easily answer and defeat this paid Marcos and Duterte trolls in e-warfare," he said.
LP Link
Sison went into self-exile in The Netherlands after the 1986 Edsa People Power Revolution. It ousted Bongbong Marcos' father. The Liberal Party specifically the Aquinos benefitted from the revolt that Former Senator Juan Ponce Enrile calls a mutiny. The Aquino patriarch, Ninoy Aquino was the brain in the merger of the CPP-NPA that Du30 now officially declares as terrorist groups. If they are not connected, why does Sison talks similarly to Marcos' VP rival, Leni Robredo whom he challenges in an election protest?

Can New Comelec Chair Abass, Nephew of Iqbal Separate Bongbong Marcos' Election Protest from the BBL?
President Du30's newly appointed Comelec Chairman to replace Andres Bautista, Sheriff Abass was previously a Commissioner of the Commission on Election as per the appointment made by the former President Benigno Aquino III. Abas is the nephew of Moro Islamic Liberation Front or MILF chief negotiator Mohagher Iqbal. Iqbal was under Bongbong Marcos' scrutiny over his non-disclosure of his real name that was also a factor of the BBL halt.
Video by; PTV
[VIDEO]: Sen. Bongbong Marcos says Iqbal alias will affect BBL
Presidential Appointment
President Rodrigo Du30 appoints Commission on Elections commissioner Sheriff Abas as the new Comelec chairman. He replaces the controversial Andres Bautista. Abas' appointment papers were signed on Wednesday, November 22. He will serve until February 2, 2022, which is Bautista's remaining term.
Serving the Government All his Professional Life
A law professor, Abas worked as acting assistant regional director of the Civil Service Commission in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. This was until his appointment to the Comelec. He worked at the CSC from June 2007 until April 2015.
Appointee of Both Governments
Abas replaces Bautista who resigned and directed to make his resignation effective immediately by the President last October. Many Marcos loyalists' eyebrows can raise on the fact that he was an Aquino appointee. Nevertheless, he is also an appointee of Du30 now. That should balance his loyalty.
Unbiased Decision
As a Comelec commissioner, he headed the packing and shipping committee. He should have full knowledge of how the handling and moving of the ballots from Bongbong Marcos' key cities can be done effectively and safely for the electoral protest against Leni Robredo. Given his professional and personal affiliations, Marcos' call for recount is the biggest test for his unbiased decision.

Jinggoy Out, Noynoy In but with Some Help from the Ombudsman
On almost the same period as Jinggoy Estrada's release from prison after posting bail, the Ombudsman junked former President Benigno Aquino III's appeal. This is to dismiss criminal charges against him for his role in the deadly Mamasapano encounter in January 2015. However, the Ombudsman dismissed homicide charges against the former President because of lack of probable cause. So, his fate is not yet clear.
Youtube video by; GMA News
[VIDEO]: Ex-Sen. Jinggoy Estrada's release from detention after paying P1.3-M bail.
Justification of the Ombudsman
Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales explains that what Aquino did wrong was to allow then-Philippine National Police Chief Alan Purisima to play a major role in the Mamasapano operation. This is despite the official being under preventive suspension.
Free after 3 Years
Meanwhile, after three years of detention, former Senator Jinggoy Estrada walks out of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Custodial Center in Camp Crame. Estrada was accused of plunder and anti-graft and corruption charges. He was released last Sept. 16 around 12:30 p.m. after posting bail of P1.33-million at the Sandiganbayan.
Family Reunited
Estrada was accompanied by his wife, Precy,. All his children – San Juan Vice Mayor Janella, Jolo, Julian, and Jill, as well as his brother Jude, were also there. He said that he was very happy and elated to be reunited with his family.
Help from his Appointee
The Ombudsman did not deny that Aquino indeed has a criminal liability over the SAF 44's early demise. However, it is not a homicide case. Therefore, he might avoid being imprisoned unless there's a more serious verdict. Earlier, he already prepared for the worst. Obviously, what goes around, comes around.

Historical Revision? Tarlac's Never Again Aquino Paves the Way for Bongbong Marcos
Initially, it was Marcos Never Again – the slogan of Aquino's supporters against Bongbong Marcos. Now, right from the hometown of the late Aquino patriarch, Ninoy Aquino, the cry is Aquino Never Again. Is this historical revision or a change of heart?
Youtube video by; INQUIRER.net
[VIDEO]: While unfazed by President Rodrigo Duterte's tirades against him, former President Benigno Aquino III admitted on Monday that he was not happy with the expletives that he received from his successor for criticizing the administration's bloody war on illegal drugs.
Block Aquino Movement
Political leaders in Tarlac province swear to block any member of the Aquino clan who seeks any elective post in the 2019 elections. Mayor Benjamin Tesoro said this during the program commemorating the 34th death anniversary of former Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. "Never again to an Aquino in public service," Tesoro said stressed.
Fed-up with the Aquinos
Tesoro explained that after many years that the Aquinos have been in power, nothing beneficial happened to Tarlac." He was referring to the administrations of former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, the late former senator's son and his wife, the late President Cory Aquino.
Incompetent Ex-Presidents
Tesoro clarified that Ninoy Aquino was not blamed for the shortcomings of his widow, former President Corazon Aquino, and his son, Noynoy, and other Aquinos who served the government. He was different in the sense that he dedicated his life to fighting for his principles.
The President's Grudge
Noynoy Aquino and the President currently have some kind of heated exchanges. They both criticize their ways in stopping illegal drugs in the country. Ex-President Aquino is a noted blocker of Bongbong Marcos to the executive office while Du30 pushes for Marcos to be his successor. The conflict is indeed an indication that while Marcos' electoral protest against VP Robredo goes quiet, something else is brewing.

Will Robredo Really Rule if PDu30 Goes?
If the president has the opportunity to talk privately with Leni Robredo whom many perceive that she wants to replace him in the presidency prematurely, PDu30 can show the intelligence report in a folder that contains the names of her party mates in the illegal drugs list. Can Robredo assure the nation that those powerful forces behind the big-time crime, corruption, and contraband be out? This is despite their support in putting her in the top level of the political arena. Will she have the political will?
[VIDEO]: Alvarez, naniniwalang bahagi ang impeachment complaint sa planong pagluluklok kay VP Robredo
The Good Days of Narco Era
What can Robredo do over the global narco-cartels that reach from America to Asia and Europe? Will she pursue a strong anti-drug campaign, or will she revert to hen President Benigno Aquino ways that allowed syndicates to flourish? Will she turn Manila into a leading international trafficking hub as well like her predecessor? Crime tripled from 324,083 cases in 2010 to more than a million a year since 2013, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority under the Aquino regime.
Undervalued and Undeclared Imports
Lawlessness explosion is felt in notorious smuggling as shown in the International Monetary Fund trade data. The total amount of imports undervalued or undeclared rose from $7.9 billion in 2009 to $26.6 billion in 2014. Part of the unprecedented flood of contraband were more than 2,000 cargo containers that disappeared in 2011 alone. No investigation was ever ordered by Aquino. This is where many guns and narcotics can sneak into the country. That's the reason why entire drug labs got in, same as the multitude of narcotics and firearms.
People's Safety
82 percent of Filipinos now feel safe after the drug war. This is based on Pulse Asia's recent survey.Can Robredo maintain that or will murders and rapes go back above 9,000 a year, robberies to 60,000, thefts to 170,000, and physical injuries to 225,000, as reported by government statisticians in 2014?
Economic Progress
Can Robredo replicate Du30's drive to get the government machinery boost up the economy? Du30 revives the balance of expenditure with implementation to a healthy level that Aquino never understands why it is necessary for the economy. Or will she boast the P1 trillion unspent funds, putting infrastructure and social services in ruins? In short, will she really rule for the good of the country or just please her party?

Roque: Leni Robredo Don't Know What she Is – must be Removed for Political Stability
Kabayan Party-list representative Harry Roque said Leni Robredo does not have a clear picture of what she wants to be. This is actually the case when a political figure just acts as a mere puppet. They can never be consistent like the late president Corazon Aquino. At one time, Robredo was actually molded like the deceased Aquino to win the Vice Presidency as the poor widow of a distinctive politician.
Youtube video by; ABS-CBN News
[VIDEO]: The Kabayan Party-list representative believes Robredo does not know what role she wants to play in the Du30 administration.
Communication Failure
Leni and the President Duterte actually have one thing in common. Both of them do not have people who are managing their communications. Neither of them is guided by a team of PR practitioners who ensure that they will be protected even from their own mouth. They do not have communications teams that already see the damage before it's even done. Their respective communications teams can just argue that they are doing their jobs but it doesn't look like it.
Addressing the World
Robredo and her team knew that her message during the "Human Rights Challenge: Responding to the Extrajudicial in the Drugs War" would be watched by the world. Speaking in English, she celebrates the fact that the world and its human rights advocates had their eyes on the Philippines. This apparently gives her courage and hope. On top of that, she was also addressing attendees to the 60th United Nations (UN) Commission on Narcotic Drugs annual meeting in Vienna Austria. This levels up the stakes as she inevitably feeds the UN and the international community's already very worried about the drug war in the Philippines.
Roque: What Lawyers Should Do
There's no doubt that Robredo hoped that the grimness of the situation and the magnitude of the problem through her pronouncement can land on higher authorities – but as a lawyer, she could have done the right thing as dictated by the laws of the land. She could have filed cases if the human rights violations she mentioned actually happened. Since she still occupies the second highest position in the country, she has the budget and resources to do that. At least, she should exercise her duty as the VP first even if her legitimacy is still questionable.

Out to Destroy the President
House Deputy Minority Leader Harry Roque agrees with pro-administration legislators that the impeachment case against the President will simply go down the drain. Roque, himself and international and constitutional law expert, explains that Du30 could not be held liable, or impeached, for acts before he became president. Let alone the allegations over Benham Rise. Robredo actually is much easier to impeach. By not refraining from attacking the president, the perception that she wants to become president urgently will never go away. After all, she's still the constitutional successor of the president. So, since she created political instability, she must be removed as soon as possible.

Doy Laurel: Cory Aquino Fooled the Filipinos with Her Anti-Graft and Corruption Promise
The late Vice President Salvador "Doy" Laurel expresses his dissatisfaction with the Cory Aquino administration after the EDSA revolution. He testifies that she does not have directions in her way of governance. She promises to wipe out graft and corruption as the main accusation against the lat Ferdinand E. Marcos – but she ends up even more corrupt than Marcos.

More Debts under Cory Aquino
The Philippine foreign debt is around $26 billion when Cory Aquino assumes the post. As a revolutionary government, she can very well get rid of bizarre debts. But she chooses not to. Instead, she submits to the pressure of international creditors, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, as well as the US in lieu of their support to oust Marcos. Jaime Ongpin, her finance secretary threatens to resign if Aquino allows the debts to increase further. This is why the majority of our funds from the national budget go only to interest payments alone. The reason why there's not enough money for education and health care.
Villagers are Terrorized under Aquino
While Marcos is accused of human rights abuses, it is during Aquino's term that the "total war policy" against leftists and their supporters is launched systematically and cold-bloodedly. It is a policy that continues to this day. It is during her term that cannibal vigilantes go through rampage in the provinces. They are used by the Philippine military to terrorize villagers and activists.
Agrarian Reform under Aquino is a Failure
It is Cory Aquino who crafts and passes a faulty agrarian reform law that gives too much leeway to landlords. They allow them to duck the program, and not enough resources go to peasants and farmers that can allow them to develop whatever land they would get out of it. The program is a failure because the Congress is, and still is, dominated by landlords. It is designed to fail. Hacienda Luisita remains in the hands of her family – when it should have been the first property to be parceled out to farmers. That if she really wants the program to succeed and leave a good legacy.

Spent Time in Petty Things like Proving that She did not Hide under the Bed
A news publication claims that she's the only commander-in-chief who hides under her bed during a coup attempt. She spent lots of time testifying for herself just to clear her name. As if, each rumor about her can tarnish her name. If President Digong would go to the courts for every psychopath, murderer, and plundered accusation, he can't manage the country anymore. This is why the late President Cory Aquino is noted for doing nothing – just like the so-called "Noynoying" of her son.
