Martin Luther King Jr. Day: 'I Have A Dream' & Other Great Milestones
Martin Luther King Jr. is an icon who will be remembered for his fight to gain equal rights for the African American community in the United States. After generations of being forced under the yolk of slavery for White folks, for the first time ever, a ray of hope shone for the downcast section of society. A man who dedicated his life, and sacrificed it in the end, for the freedom of all people, achieved so much in his short span of time for the people. After his assassination, a day every year was dedicated to his legacy, on the third Monday of every January around his birth anniversary (January 15). In honor of the late Martin Luther King Jr., we remember 10 of his life's milestones that helped change the way we look at human rights and freedom forever.
In 1955, the rights for Black people was minimal. While Whites could travel around freely, Blacks were restricted to how they mingled with White passersby. One such rule was that a Black was forced to stand in a bus, while only Whites had the privilege of sitting. Then Rosa Parks got in and things changed. Her action of refusing to give up her seat for a White caused the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It was Martin Luther King Jr. who led that protest that lasted over a year. The result? The US Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public buses was unconstitutional. However, he found himself being threatened, even to the point of his home being bombed.
Founder and President of SCLC
After the success of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, King was inspired to start a more legal institution to fight for equality of the Black people. Based on his Baptist upbringing, in 1957 he started the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). This institution played the biggest role in the American Civil Rights Movement. He was not only founder, but remained President of SCLC till his assassination in 1968.
Birmingham Campaign
Birmingham used to be one of the most racially divided cities in the country. After the Montgomery Bus Boycott, King turned his attention to bring equality in the laws prevailing here. His movement did not seem to attract a lot of adult attention, so he began recruiting the youth and children to participate. This was also a way of involving every section of society to the plight of the Black people. What caused national attention was when the police used brute force, including high-pressure water jets to disperse the protesters. Due to national outrage, the man in-charge was fired and the government finally decided to change the discriminatory laws.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s words
The Great March on Washington
The support received from people for Martin Luther King Jr. was unprecedented. In 1963, he led the Great March on Washington that gained the support of over 250,000 protestors who made their way to the capital to establish laws for jobs and freedom for the black people. This was unheard of and has still not happened in recent history. It led to the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It also established Martin Luther King Jr. as the face of the Civil Rights Movement that he helped start.
On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in front of 250,000 watchers, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the speech that would be recognized world-over as the speech for freedom rights. "…I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood…" Read the entire I Have A Dream speech by Martin Luther King Jr.
Time's Person of the Year
Though we don't agree with Time's Person of the Year 2016, in 1963 it was a different thing. Martin Luther King Jr. achieved the honor as the first African American Black person to be on the cover of the magazine as their awardee. He however, did not look upon it as a personal achievement. Rather, he used it as an impetus to the Civil Rights Movement in the country. The magazine recognized him as "the fearless leader who fought to bring equality in America".
Nobel Prize for Peace
Inspired by India's Mahatma Gandhi, MLK Jr. fought the Civil Rights Movement through the route of non-violence. He believed that the most powerful weapon was the voice, not brute force. He, therefore, was recognized for his leadership, his methods and his faith in bringing an entire nation of people together to fight for a higher cause. At the age of 35, he became the youngest person at that time to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964.

Captain Toad devs on decision to bring the game to Switch and 3DS, future, more
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 0 comments
Polygon has published some new comments from Captain Toad game director Shinya Hiratake and producer Koichi Hayashida. The two discussed a variety of topics, including why it was brought back for Switch and 3DS, its future, and more.
Here's a roundup of what was shared:

Captain Toad producer wants to see the character in a variety of games… and maybe Mario Kart
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 26 Comments
Nintendo's Koichi Hayashida wants to see Captain Toad "featured in a variety of games". It also seems as though Hayashida would be interested in having the character end up in Mario Kart. That information comes from the latest issue of GamesMaster, which contains a short interview with the Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker producer.
When asked what he foresees in the future for Captain Toad, Hayashida said:
At this stage we don't know. I personally want to see him featured in a variety of games. I've even 'secretly' emailed the director of Mario Kart to see if he'd consider including Captain Toad, but I haven't heard back from him yet!
Director Shinya Hiratake also answered the same question. His thoughts are as follows:
Through the development of this game I've grown even fonder of Captain Toad. he can't jump, and struggles to defeat his opponents, but it's precisely that he is not a powerful character that he can show us his unique take on all these situations. as a developer of his game, and one of his fans, I look forward to seeing where he goes next.

Captain Toad producer on the possibility of Toads appearing in more of their own games
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Nintendo Life recently caught up with Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker director Shinya Hiratake and producer Koichi Hayashida. Among the topics discussed include potential interest in having Captain Toad, Toadette and the other Toads appear in more of their own games down the road.
Regarding this, Hayashida commented:
Here in the development team we've really come to love Captain Toad and the Toad Brigade from Super Mario Galaxy! We're really happy to have been able to make a game where they are the main stars. I hope we'll be seeing them pop up in all sorts of other places in future.
Hiratake also shared an interesting comment when asked if there are any other franchises or Nintendo settings he feels would suit the diorama puzzle mechanics:
In Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, it feels like we managed to recreate the fun of the games we used to play on the NES, but with a modern twist. I worked on this project in parallel to the NES REMIX series [titles available on the Wii U eShop and 3DS] where we pick up some of the best bits from games on NES. I was thinking it might be interesting to turn some of the games there into box worlds like this too. Those of you who enjoyed the Time Attack mode in Captain Toad: Treasure tracker might also like the Time Attack challenges in NES REMIX. I hope you try them out and enjoy!
And lastly, it sounds like we won't be learning what Captain Toad has tucked away inside his backpack anytime soon. Hiratake said, "I think we'll keep the contents of Captain Toad's backpack the biggest secret of this game."

Captain Toad devs on Miyamoto's influence, making Toadette playable, more

Nintendo says Toads are genderless, Toadette and Toad aren't siblings
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Random | 38 Comments
Interestingly enough, Nintendo did not truly settle on a specific gender for its Toad characters from the Mario universe. That's despite the fact that Toad takes on the appearance of a male and Toadette has female characteristics.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker producer Koichi Hayashida told GameSpot in a recent interview:
"This is maybe a little bit of a strange story, but we never really went out of our way to decide on the sex of these characters, even though they have somewhat gendered appearances. But I think what I can say is that Toadette and Toad are not siblings — perhaps it would be more accurate to say they are adventure pals. And that's certainly true here [in Captain Toad]."
Hayashida also went on to clarify that Toads are not mushrooms. When GameSpot brought up the resemblance and nomenclature, Hayashida noted:
"This particular riddle might stay unsolved. That's one of the great mysteries of the Mario universe."

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker devs on the game's creation
Polygon recently caught up with Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker director Koichi Hayashida and producer Shinya Hiratake. The two spoke about how the game came to be, and shared plenty of development information.
Read on below for a summary of the interview. Also be sure to check out Polygon's full piece here.
Hayashida on how Captain Toad came about…
"We began with Super Mario 64. While Super Mario 64 was quite an interesting game, we heard that roughly 20 percent of gamers found it too difficult," he said, brandishing a copy of the Nintendo 64 game. We kept that comment that the game was too challenging and made games like Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World with that in mind."
– In making 3D Land and 3D World, the team felt it was getting away from a fundamental design principle that made Mario 64 so special
– This was the idea that the levels were a sort of "diorama" or a "garden in a box"
– The studio was able to get back to that idea with the Captain Toad stages in 3D World
Hayashida on how Miyamoto suggested making Captain Toad into its own game…
"At the completion of 3D World, Mr. Miyamoto said, 'That worked well; I think we should create a single spin-off title just featuring Captain Toad.' The start of the conversation was, 'Let's take a lot of the elements that we have in 3D World and incorporate them' into what eventually became Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker."
– The team started out by making 100 stages
– Two issues: Toad couldn't jump, and they were still basically making Mario stages
– Action felt limited without being able to jump
– Since Toad can't jump, this also means enemies are overpowered
– The team addressed this with the plucking action, and by implementing some stealth
– The process of making a level begins with what mechanics/gimmick they're interested in
– Stage set in the haunted house was originally a puzzle stage
– The two devs wouldn't confirm/deny a similar approach of making more Nintendo spin-offs with other franchises
"When we were doing 3D World and creating these diorama-style worlds… we tested them using Mario as playable character. Because Mario has ability to jump, the types of stages we came up with became impossibly large. Mario made those stages too big, which broke our whole goal, so… it worked out that we had this character there." – Hayashida

NES Remix director open to future entries with SNES/Game Boy/GBA titles represented
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Thus far, there have been two NES Remix games. Both, obviously, only include titles from the NES era.
But how about something like SNES Remix? Or GBA Remix? This is actually something that director Koichi Hayashida is open to.
Hayashida told IGN in a recent interview:
"Well personally I'm a fan of those games, and I like them a lot. If there's a big enough outpouring of support for these titles, it's something I'd like to take a look at."
"Well, personally, I have a large desire to explore that very idea (Super Nintendo/Game Boy Advance in future Remix games). But it really harkens back to the answer I just gave. Does the marketplace want it or need it?"
"If we get a big enough cry for that, with a lot of people saying, 'Hey, we'd love to see more of these perhaps for the SNES, Game Boy or Game Boy Advance,' then it would be something we can take a look at."

Director explains why the NES Remix games aren't on 3DS
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 22 Comments
Both NES Remix games are on Wii U, and only Wii U. They aren't available on 3DS despite the fact that many of the classes releases represented are available on both of Nintendo platforms.
So why are the NES Remix titles on Wii U only and not 3DS? Director Koichi Hayashida explained to IGN:
"One of the easiest ways to answer that is to say, 'I was working on 3D World, which was developed on Wii U. So I was already familiar with the system's architecture and developing for that platform lent itself to the early stages of the project. But, if you step into the shadows a bit more, in order to accomplish what we wanted with NES Remix, and get the effect we wanted out of it and the value that we wanted it to have, we needed some more machine power."
"I think the Wii U offered that up for us pretty easily, and it just would have been more difficult to do it for the 3DS. I think that's really the answer. It's just that the Wii U had the machine power we were looking for in order for us to build the software we envisioned from the get go.'

Roanoke Contract Drafting Attorneys
Find the right Contract Drafting attorney in Roanoke, VA
A contract in Virginia is an agreement made by parties that intend their agreement to have legal effect. As long as parties to a contract have the same understanding about the contractual terms, the contract may either be written or entirely oral. Most businesses want to solidify their agreements in writing so that they can rely on them in the future. Since many legal principles may be involved, drafting a contract works best when done with as much knowledge of the law as possible.
Negotiating a Contract in Roanoke
Along with specific clauses that should be included in every Roanoke contract for it to be valid, it is important to adequately discuss each term to make sure that the intent of each party is understood by the other. Being forthright about your intentions early on can be helpful, because it allows the terms of the contract to be determined based on clear expectations. Lastly, a clause that determines how to handle a dispute under the contract may be worthwhile to negotiate.
It may save you time to use a form contract instead of drafting your own. Even so, you may want an attorney in Roanoke, Virginia to add or remove terms, or to simply make the contract language more clear. If the parties attempt to use a form contract without an attorney's help, there may be risks. First, parties are less likely to read form contracts thoroughly, which may lead to one side being unaware of their duties under the contract. Second, using a contract that someone else has written can obligate the parties to a contract term that they do not understand. With either a negotiated contract or a form, an attorney can ensure that the written document matches the intent of each party. Attorneys in Roanoke often specialize in Virginia contract law.
Life in Roanoke
Roanoke is considered the tenth-largest city in Virginia, with an approximate population of 97,000 people. It is located specifically in southwest Virginia, near Salem, Botetourt, Craig, and Franklin.
Top employers include Carilion Clinic, Wal-Mart, Anthem Blue Cross, and the school districts. The legal industry too has a presence via the attorney residents who practice law in small boutique firms or law offices. Thus, residents of Roanoke remain assured that their legal needs can be adequately handled.
Some nicknames of the city include "Star City," The Older Magic City," "Big Lick," and "Capital of the Blue Ridge."
Celebrity residents have included Tony Atlas, Tai Collins, Curtis Staples, John St. Clair, and J.J. Redick.

Amar Akbar is a fast paced Ode to Mary Jane (not the girl) which features General Pype while Blood On the Dance Floor ft Lambo (the unmastered version was previously posted as Gbos Se Wo)has that bouncy feel and sounds like it will do well on radio and of course on the dance floor.

The final season of "Jersey Shore" starts tonight on MTV -- and boy how the lives of Snooki and Co. have changed since the show debuted in 2009.
Not only has the show experienced a cast shakeup, which saw Angelina Pivarnick get booted and eventually replaced with Deena Cortese in Season Three.
Since the reality show's premiere, the stars have gone through breakups and makeups, engagements and pregnancies, breakdowns and trips to rehab.
And they've all changed their looks while doing it ... losing weight, adding news tattoos to their inked up bodies and developing even more muscle mass.
Check out the gallery above to see how Snooki, The Situation, Jwoww, Deena, Pauly D, Ronnie and Sammi have all transformed since their TV debuts!

The College provides a generic course of studies both at the M.S.W. and the B.S.W. levels. A semester system of three years has been adopted for the B.S.W. course since in 2009, while the M.S.W. course is an annual programme of two years. The curriculum is so constituted so as to ensure that the student has a broad base of the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to function in a variety of settings related to the existing job environment in the Indian scenario. Despite being generic, the course also encourages the students to deepen their interest in certain specific areas through the type of fieldwork selected, research study undertaken, term paper topic chosen and optional subjects selected as electives.
All full-time faculty have the Master's Degree in Social Work and some also have an M. Phil or a Ph.D. degree. Several visiting lecturers teach full courses (papers) as they contribute to the inter-disciplinary base of the curriculum. These visiting lecturers are drawn from the Social and Behavioral Sciences and from other professions with which social workers collaborate.
The curriculum consists of relevant aspects of both theory and field work to help students enhance their practical understanding of social work practice.
develop skills in the utilization of social work intervention methods and adopt ethical practices using the principles of the profession while working with individuals and families, groups and communities.
Each student is assigned to a Faculty Adviser. Ordinarily a new Faculty Adviser is appointed each year. The appointment of the Faculty Adviser is based on the particular fieldwork placement of the student since each faculty member is responsible for a group of placements whether or not they directly provide field instruction in those placements. Besides being responsible for the students' field work performance, the Faculty Adviser is also responsible for the students' overall academic work and professional development. Any difficulties experienced by the student may be discussed with the Adviser whose function is to assist and guide the student.
The students receive individualized attention in the form of guidance and supervision from the teaching faculty. As per the Regulation of the Directorate of Social Welfare, Government of Maharashtra, the staff student ratio of the College is to be maintained at 1:14.
This intake of students is relative to the staff student ratio of the particular academic year for the B.S.W. and M.S.W. programmes.
There is no minimum age for admission provided the student meets all other eligibility and admission criteria required by the University and the College. Admission is open to both men and women students for all programmes.
English is the medium of instruction for all courses. Hence, the ability to use English as a language is essential. Fluency in either Hindi or Marathi is required for working with the client system.
Theory classes are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and half day on Thursdays of the teaching weeks. Fieldwork days are half day of Thursdays, and entire Fridays and Saturdays, with due regard for agency timings. Most of the classes are conducted with a combination of lecture, presentation and discussion method where participation from students is strongly encouraged. The students are given an outline of the content of each course as well as bibliography of the required reading at the beginning of each year. Students are expected to supplement classroom learning by independent reading. Required readings are prescribed from several sources which are available in the library.
Every paper will have a mid semester / term end examination, the result of which will be included as the internal assessment. These examinations will not be conducted for the benefit of those whose reasons for absence were unsatisfactory. All the papers for the mid semester exam / term end tests will be of one and a half hour of duration.
Written assignments are also expected from students as part of the internal assessment(Refer Assignment Guidelines of the College).
B.S.W. and M.S.W. graduates have opportunities for employment both in India and abroad in a variety of settings: Hospitals, Schools and Institutions run by Government and Non-Governmental Organisations, Counselling Services, Government Programmes for marginalised groups, Disability fields, Community Oganisations, Rehabilitation Centres, Training Institutions, Industries, Funding Organisations, Reasearch and Documentation Centres and other Development Organizations.

About Yale University
Since its founding in 1701, Yale has been dedicated to expanding and sharing knowledge, inspiring innovation, and preserving cultural and scientific information for future generations. Yale?s reach is both local and international. It partners with its hometown of New Haven, Connecticut to strengthen the city?s community and economy. And it engages with people and institutions across the globe in the quest to promote cultural understanding, improve the human condition, delve more deeply into the secrets of the universe, and train the next generation of world leaders.
A Yale education is not a narrow path that students follow from Point A to Point Z. The University encourages their students to explore the academic landscape, venturing into unfamiliar fields of knowledge and, perhaps, discovering new passions that will take them in a different direction altogether. Along the way, faculty members help guide them, and fellow students offer diverse perspectives that can shed new light on the path. They also encourage their students to travel literally, by going abroad for study, research, or work.
Yale University is situated 90 minutes from New York in the city of New Haven, Connecticut. It?s central campus in downtown New Haven covers 260 acres, its medical campus is adjacent to the Yale, New Haven Hospital.

Q: Javascript ajax get request returning json file readystate 1 rather than data I am trying to call this web service to return the city/state address of a given zipcode. I am sure I simply just don't understand ajax correctly.

var data = $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "https://ziptasticapi.com/28403",
    dataType: "json",

});

    var address = JSON.stringify(data);
    alert(address);

A: You receive data in success callback.

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "https://ziptasticapi.com/28403",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(address) {
        alert(JSON.stringify(address))
    }
});

Also, there is a syntax error in your call, you can't have comma after last key value pair in Javascript object.

A: To do a simple API call, do the following:
$.getJSON('**WEB_URL_API_ENDPOINT**', function(data){

     console.log(data);

});

Check the console to see how the data is coming back as (single, list, etc..)
Then depending on how the data will be coming back (single, list, etc..), you can do some of these different methods.
Simple loop to push elements to a list:
$.getJSON('**WEB_URL_API_ENDPOINT**', function(data){

  var dataList = []
  for (var i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
    dataList.push([data[i].city, data[i].state, data[i].address,
    data[i].zipcode]);
  }

});

If the data is not coming back in a list form, you should be able to just grab the elements based on their name.
$.getJSON('**WEB_URL_API_ENDPOINT**', function(data){

 var city = data.city;
 var state = data.state;
 var address = data.address;
 var zipcode = data.zipcode;

});

Faith, Science, Cigarettes, and TV Tea Leaves
Dawn Byrne 5:13 PM 7 Comments 3rd grade , Buddha , childhood , cigarettes , gas smell , grandma , matches , pretend , science project , stale bread , superstition , tea leaves , whimsical fun Edit
My socks only touched the even number steps. After 14, I landed on the living room carpet in front of Grandma's ceramic Buddha. He was six inches tall. I measured him with the ruler my sister got from the third grade science fair. Buddha smiled across the room at Grandma snoring in her brown leather chair, with his legs crossed inside-out on top of our broken TV.
Liz squatted on the floor with our brother's rubber ball that had pimples on it. She set it in different places around the room, ob-serv-ing like a real scientist. Besides the ball, she had tried a lemon drop, and a bobbin from Grandma's sewing machine in her experiment that morning.
"Liz, doncha think Grandma looks like Buddha?" I asked.
"You're stupid," Liz said. "He's a man. Grandma's got hair and boobs."
"Yeah, but when her hair's wet, she looks bald. And her boobs look like extra long bellies rollin' over the sides of her big one." Grandma, wet in the sun, flashed into my head. "Maybe she's his wife."
"Gods don't have wives." Liz dribbled the ball.
"What about Zeus? He's married, and he's king of all the gods."
"People don't believe in that anymore," Liz said. "Those were just stories made up before people got smarter." She steadied the ball on the TV. It rolled to the left and circled a little. I didn't let on I agreed with Liz's de-duc-tion about pretend gods.
I asked, "Do you think people rub Buddha's belly for luck the way I like hugging Grandma's? I feel lucky magic when I'm near her belly."
"You make it sound like some sort of pot of gold. We're not Irish. And we don't worship Buddha either."
Liz chucked the ball into the kitchen. She made an ob-ser-va-tion of Buddha, then Grandma. "Grandma's tan does sort of make her look like the brown statue that got broke." Liz turned back to the TV. "This green one's prettier though." She rubbed its head.
"See?" I asked. "Green...Irish. Like the Barney Stone. Doncha rub that for good luck too?" Boy, was I proud of my de-duc-tion.
"No," Liz said as she climbed onto our floor console and stood up, with Buddha between her feet. "You kiss it while you hang over it." She bent until she was face to upside-down face with him. Her blonde hair dangled across the TV's screen like a grass skirt.
Grandma's sleep meditation was over in one extra loud snort. "Get down from there and leave that statue alone. I still can't get the head to stay on the one your brother broke." She coughed and shifted in her chair. The lady smell that stayed in the leather of the chair, even when she stood up, got stronger.
"I did it!" Liz said with her arms up. She jumped off the TV. "I kissed the Blarney Buddha's belly."
Grandma said something real low that I couldn't hear. She leaned to the right and then to the left. One of her huge crinkly hands disappeared each time into the big pockets sticking out from the sides of her recliner. With the TV not working, I heard sounds in the living room I didn't remember hearing before, like Grandma's chair burping when she moved in it, and the springy squeak when Liz popped onto the couch. I bounced on the carpet near the front door. That was where the floor creaked the loudest.
Liz investigated the rim and sides of an empty cup on the end table. She rolled it between her hands, but it dropped onto the coffee table upside down with a 'clump'. Grandma breathed a noisy breath and kept digging.
I sat with Liz on the couch next to Grandm'a recliner. Liz lifted her feet off the floor and criss-crossed her legs. She asked, "Grandma, can you sit in a lotus position?"
Wiggling on the couch, I forcing myself to keep quiet. Now that Liz had given up on the boring stuff, the fun started. In my head, I followed her scientific pro-ce-dure. Grandma and Buddha actually were two of the roundest things in the house.
"What?" Grandma asked.
"You know, on the floor, like Buddha on his little slab. I don't believe a real person with a belly can do it."
"How can I do that with only one leg?" Grandma pulled out a TV Guide, a red marker, a cone-shaped spool of thread, and a can of 3-IN-ONE oil from the chairs pockets.
I had forgotten too-about Grandma needing another leg to sit cross-legged.
Liz rolled her eyes from the leg that wasn't there to the ceiling, and kept them there for a few seconds. Then she asked, "Can you try it anyway, please? I want to also see which direction your body rolls."
"What for?" Grandma pull out a deck of cards and an empty tic tac dispenser, and piled them on a TV table.
"I'm trying to figure out how level the house is. Round stuff works the best," Liz replied.
I stopped fidgeting. Excitement bubbled inside me to see if Grandma would do it. Liz was her favorite because she was named after Grandma. Maybe Grandma would try since Liz asked her to do it.
"If I got on that floor, I'd never get up. Now run upstairs and see if my cigarettes are in the bathroom." Yep, Liz was her favorite. She always asks her to get the cigarettes.
"I'll get 'em." I didn't give Liz a chance to beat me to them.
I came back, plunking myself down every step, holding the gold pack of Marlboros. "Here you go," I said, handing it to Grandma and backing away.
Grandma flipped open the book of matches that was tucked under the cellophane around the cigarettes. "Damn it to hell."
My voice jumped: "What's the matter?"
"The match book's empty."
"Do you want me to get another one from the kitchen?" I froze on tiptoes, with a hand behind my back.
"No I found one," Grandma said, picking a bent pack of matches out from the space between the arm of her recliner and seat cushion. She shook the cigarettes until one popped out above the rest, then picked it out and shoved it between her lips.
I turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," Grandma said from the side of her mouth not clamping down on the cigarette. "Get back here. One's missing."
I swiveled around and handed over the cigarette. Grandma's acusing eye as she struck the match alive made me want to cry, but I couldn't in front of Liz, she'd make fun of me.
"I wasn't going to smoke it," I said. "Honest. I wanted it for Buddha."
, Grandma took the cigarette out of her mouth. "For what?"
Her question helped me control myself. "Don't people burn stuff in the little ash tray that sits in front of Buddha? I figured that, a cigarette could make some real good ashes for a god. More than them skimpy ones from those punk sticks."
"You leave my cigarettes alone, you hear? They're for me."
I slouched into a corner of the couch.
Liz asked, "Why were they in the bathroom, Grandma?"
"To help me relax in there."
"When you're...?" Liz began.
"Shit. Shit. Shit." Grandma dropped the lit match, and stomped her foot on it. "You made me burn myself. What's with all the questions anyhow? What do I look like? The Dalai Lama?"
Liz and I chanted, "No, Buddha."
"Do you hum and meditate in the bathroom?" I asked. "Don't you always say that happiness is a good bowel movement?"
"What?" Grandma's deep scratchy voice came from one side of her mouth as she finally lit her cigarette. "I just make that up for laughs."
"Buddha must laugh a lot," I said. "He's always smiling. He's got no teeth, like you, just a dark space."
Grandma squinted at the smiling god across the room, and sighed at the dark screen below him.
The doorbell rang.
"Elizabeth, go get the door." Grandma readjusted her dress, burped (not the chair this time), and sent more puffs of her goddessness into the air.
Mrs. Moores and Ms. Perry, the neighbors, came into our living room. If the TV was working, their noisy, silly words would've bumped higher than its volume.
They handed Grandma a box of Marlboros and a gold Buddha statue. Liz ran upstairs when they waved at us.
"Dawn, go put the tea water on for my worshipers." Grandma laughed.
I slid on purpose across the waxed kitchen floor, and caught myself at the stove. It seeped gas because the pilot light would never stay lit. I never got used to the nasty smell, even though I tried to because it was always there in the kitchen.
The mugs without handles worked good enough for the neighbors; Grandma's flamingo one for her; a flowered one for me. I counted out the tea bags. They made my nose happy.
My bag ripped so easy. The dry brown stuff was like the tobacco that I emptied from a cigarette box Grandma had asked me to throw away. How could two things that looked alike, smell so different?
I served the tea in the living room, and went back to the kitchen to drink mine. Liz came down to check on her penicillin experiment.
"Liz, did you ever learn about tea leaves in Mr. Boykins' science class?"
"What?" Liz asked, closing the bread box. The four day old bread smelled almost as bad as the fresh gas from the stove.
I lifted my mug with leaves floating in the steaming water and put it under Liz's nose. "We can read them like Aunt Bebe used to. Do you want me to make you some tea?"
"I'll fix it myself."
The dark nasty pieces stuck to my tongue. Liz hy-poth-e-sized that if we waited, all the leaves would sink to the bottom.
The adults still talked and laughed in the other room. Brown Buddha smiled from the counter above a ring of drying glue around his thick neck. My con-clu-sion: finding pictures in the soggy brown mess at the bottom of our mugs turned a boring Saturday into mystical, scientific fun.

(Rad) Power Couple
Justin Duckham
You know all about love at first sight. But what about love at first ride?
It was an apt beginning for Louise Perry and Casey Nickles, two Rad riders who fell for each other while exploring their adopted hometown of Columbus, Ohio, three years ago.
Their relationship has all the trappings of a classic love story: a charming first encounter, seemingly insurmountable odds, and a string of coincidences that could be nothing short of destiny.
And because the couple met in a Facebook group for Rad owners, it's naturally one of our favorite Rad stories.
"I ended up in a chat with this guy who said he had also just ordered an ebike," Louise told us. She found out they both lived in Columbus.
As if by serendipity, their bikes arrived on the same day, giving them plenty of excuses to keep the messages coming.
"We were texting each other daily, talking about where we were going on our bikes, exchanging photographs of the places we'd been," Louise said. "We started asking when we were actually going to meet. It became a running joke."
However, actually meeting up seemed unlikely. During the course of their back-and-forth, Casey had made it very clear that he was a proud introvert.
She told him about Yay Bikes, a local advocacy group that was hosting a group-ride on Earth Day. But she honestly didn't expect him to come by.
That's when he surprised her.
"I had my reservations about meeting in-person, but we really seemed to have bonded. It felt right," Casey said.
That's how he explains it now, anyway. In truth, he actually showed up a few minutes before the ride began ... and decided to bail.
Fortunately, he had a change of heart. He rolled back, took a leap, and introduced himself to Louise. The two rode side-by-side for 12 miles, chatting warmly amongst themselves and realizing that they had a lot more in common than just ebikes.
They ended up with the rest of the cyclists by the banks of the Olentangy River, where the group cut down invasive trees and replanted them with local species — classic first date stuff.
To Lousie's surprise, Casey joined the fellow riders for drinks and stayed by her side into the evening.
Three years later, the couple now shares a home -- one with a big garage. They need it to store all five of their ebikes.
They share a RadWagon for grocery trips, a pair of RadCity commuter bikes for long weekend excursions, and a RadRover and RadMini round out their fleet for off-road adventures.
But their bikes are more than just a way to get around, Casey said. "Our bikes brought us together," he recalled. "They're an integral part of how we spend our time as a couple."
A couple years back, he sent Rad Power Bikes a hand-painted poster of our logo that his mother had made. He told us his and Louise's story and asked the team to autograph it.
Louise unwrapped it on Christmas morning, and she was floored.
"You can see why this guy is so uniquely special to me," Louise told us.
Indeed we do, Louise.
There are a lot of power couples out there, but not many are powered by Rad.
Keep racking up those miles, you two!

HP introduces the Touchpad webOS tablet
Posted on February 9, 2011 at 1:45 pm
10 Comments on HP introduces the Touchpad webOS tablet
HP has officially introduced its first webOS tablet, the HP TouchPad. The tablet features a 9.7 inch, 1024 x 768 pixel display and weighs about 1.6 pounds. A WiFi-only version is due out this summer, with 3G and 4G versions set to follow. We'd been led to believe that the tablet could be available earlier than that, but them's the breaks.
The HP Touchpad measures about half an inch thick, has a 1.3MP camera and supports video calls. It has stereo speakers, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, a dual core 1.2 GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, and 16GB or 32GB of storage. There's a gyroscope, accelerometer and compass. The tablet will have a 6300mAh battery.
Basically, the TouchPad is what you would get if you took a Palm Pre, blew it up, gave it a higher resolution display, and took away the keyboard. It's pretty clearly HP's answer to the Apple iPad: but aside from the dual core processor and webOS 3.0 operating system, it really doesn't seem all that different from the iPad, which makes me wonder if it's really enough. While webOS supports Adobe Flash and has better support for multitasking, the OS hasn't exactly won over the masses in the smartphone space the way iOS has.
That said, HP has developed a resizeable virtual keyboard which can be used in small, medium, or large modes on a tablet. There are also a series of apps which have clearly designed to be used on a tablet rather than a keyboard. That includes a dual-pane email app, a beautiful photo and video browser, and a notification system which doesn't take up too much screen real estate.
Probably the biggest selling point for the tablet right now is how it integrates with webOS on a smartphone. If you have a webOS phone and a TouchPad tablet, you just login with your account information and all of your data will be made available on both devices — much the same way as you can login to multiple Android devices using your Google account info.
But the TouchPad will also let you do things like send and receive text messages or even make phone calls by connecting wirelessly to a webOS phone. The devices work together in other ways too. For instance, you can open a web site on your phone and tap it against the tablet to open the same web site on the Touchpad.
HP is describing the tablet as the first member of the TouchPad family, implying that there will be more devices in the future — presumably with different screen sizes. The company is also showing off some of the accessories for the TouchPad including a keyboard, stand, case, and Touchstone dock for wireless charging. when using a supported HP networked printer, you'll also be able to send print jobs from the Touchpad to your printer without wires.
While webOS doesn't have hundreds of thousands of third party apps like iOS or Android yet, the TouchPad will have some top notch apps available at launch including Angry Birds, Facebook, Last.fm, NBA, and Time Magazine. Amazon has also announced plans to develop a Kindle eBook app for the TouchPad.
HP also unveiled two new phones today, the HP Veer and the HP Pre3. The Pre3 is the next generation of the Palm Pre, and features a 3.6 inch, 480 x 800 pixel display, a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 8×55 CPU, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5MP camera with a flash and a front-facing camera for video calls. It supports 802.11b/g/n WiFi, HSPA+ and EVDO, and will be available this summer with 8G or 16GB of stroage.
The HP Veer is a much smaller smartphone which HP describes as being the size of a credit card. It has a 2.6 inch, 320 x 400 pixel screen, an 800 MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 7230 processor and support for Adobe Flash, HSPA+, 802.11b/g WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.1. It can also be used as a mobile hotspot to share your mobile broadband connection with a laptop or other device.
You can find more details at the Palm web site and at Engadget's liveblog.

Michaelpaulpenang says:
The battery mAh is very good on this. So high.
But Brad, I need to inform you of something very important. Since you have a worldwide audience, netbook buyers are often misled with reviews done in the US. You see, buyers simply assume 6 cell batteries are the way to go and the moment you see 3 cell, just reject it.
But what the sneaky manufacturers are doing is giving different 6 cell mAh batteries for different parts of the world to cut cost.
Like the Asus 1015PEM, in Asia, its a pathetic 4400mAh. So, the reviews in the US, which probably have a higher 6 cell capacity, don't do justice to the people in Asia.
My standard Asus UL20A on the other hand has a 63W battery, much higher than anywhere in the world. So, I get much higher usage time.
So Brad, you need to be very careful as to what type of 6 cell a netbook manufacturer gives as your blog caters to audience of different parts of the world.
Ironically the Samsung NF310 has a 5900mAh battery in Asia, higher than the one in US
rpt3 says:
It's annoying when spec sheets list a product as having a "4000 mAh" battery — with no voltage in sight. Specifying batteries in Whr (or the much-neglected Joule) is the only way to give a single number that has any real meaning.
that is so true. The manufacturers are taking advantage of this. Most consumers only know 3 cell or 6 cell. Whr and mAh are far more important.
I noticed Asus is a big culprit. 4400mAh batteries are so common now and we consumers are ignorant of the fact that a 4400mAh battery is not as good as a 5900mAh battery.
So, the weight of the machine has gone down to 1.25Kgs because of a lower capacity battery. In actual fact, the manufacturers have done zero R & D to reduce the weight of netbooks to improve portability. Just a bit here and there to please aesthetically, that is all.
Spec sheets are so annoying and misleading. People buy Asus netbooks cause they still think it is the old Asus 1001 with a mega Whr and mAh battery but it is no more the case
PrincessNybor says:
With the ability to sync it up with a Pre phone, this seems more in direct competition with the Blackberry Playbook than with either iOS or Android. I think both tablets have some neat features, but they'll both need to build rapid app support in order to drive users towards them.
That said, the screen on my Galaxy Tab is large enough and has a high enough resolution that I often use the browser for tasks that require an app on my iPhone. So I think apps are somewhat less necessary. What tablets need to do, and this goes for all operating systems, is really try to match (or even beat) a desktop browsing experience. We're not there yet, but I think we are heading in that direction.
adamrmcd says:
"it really doesn't seem all that different from the iPad, which makes me wonder if it's really enough"
Simple answer: WebOS has true multitasking 🙂
Brad Linder says:
True… but that's also true on existing webOS smartphones, and for some reason the Pre hasn't overtaken the iPhone in sales. I think webOS is a great operating system, but I don't know if it has the cache necessary to really draw potential iPad customers.
But maybe it doesn't have to. Maybe there are plenty of people who didn't want an iPad for one reason or another, but they *do* want a consumer tablet. I'm sure that's what HP is hoping anyway… (and Motorola, and Asus, etc…)
ohiomoto says:
What HP showed us today looks very promising but I also wonder if it will be enough.
I think the big problem with the Palm/WebOS phones was that they really didn't have great marketing, the hardware was outdated shortly after it was released and they don't have a huge app catalog.
I think HP can take webOS to new heights, but is it "too little, too late"? I'm a webOS user and I like my Pre Plus. But there are some really nice Android phones out there these days and HP wants me to wait until summer for a Pre 3 when what I really long for is a Samsung Fascinate running webOS???
WebOS looks great. The Touchpad looks like it will be very nice, but the new phones don't blow me away and I'm more interested in the phones than the pad. Everyone has a phone, but not all of us even want a tablet device. I think they needed to show us more phones and the phones should have been released today.
While they spend the next few months putting the finishing touches on their new products, Verizon will be attempting to put iPhones and iPads into the hands of every living person in America (just like they have been doing with Android and Blackberry before that.)
Also, don't get me wrong, the Pre 3 looks like it's a very nice phone by today's standards, but who knows what will be out by time it's released.
I'm one of those who wants a consumer tablet but doesn't want an iPad. The reason is simple: I'm a software developer, but you can't develop for iOS unless you do so on an Apple desktop or notebook. That's just petty nonsense on Apple's part. Android SDK comes pre-packaged for the three big flavors, and the webOS SDK is packaged as a Virtualbox machine which can be run from any platform that Virtualbox supports, which is a bunch. Folks talk a lot about Apple's "ecosystem" of devices and apps, but it's more like a terrarium than an ecosystem: you're either locked in or you're locked out.
SKumar says:
The Palm Pre didn't overtake the iPhone in sales. The Touchpad is unlikely to overtake the iPad either. But, yes, there are some people who don't like the iPad because it doesn't have a camera, because it doesn't support Flash, because it doesn't have ports, because it doesn't have …
The TouchPad and many of the upcoming tablets may impress them. And that is what these companies are hoping to.


Sculpture is at the heart of creating model based special effects and three dimensional makeup's. Different mediums can be used to suit different purposes, from clays and waxes to stones and wood.
You may want an interesting character to display in your shop window, or perhaps a figurine to grace your home, office or garden? The possibilities are endless.
Also more and more sculpting is created from Urethane foams to create huge set pieces for show's like Doctor Who and films like Harry Potter.
Small scale, highly detailed models are also sculpted and cast in resins to be used as reference, or to be scanned into a computer to create fantastical animated CGI creatures for television and film.


Placement: Mount the Jedi Mind Trick Undata using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the aquarium where it will receive direct flow and light. Jedi Mind Trick Montipora Undata will encrust the rock and can plate out or grow into a bowl shape. It may eventually shade corals below it.
Feeding: Vivid Aquariums recommends feeding Jedi Mind Trick Montipora corals with Oyster-Feast and/or Roti-Feast. Target feeding gets the corals fed using less food while keeping your nitrates and phosphates lower.
Lighting & Flow Requirements: The Jedi Mind Trick Undata requires moderate to high water flow and moderate to bright lighting (PAR 300-450) to maintain its color. T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow acropora when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.

Q: Rails 4 - Am I causing excessive Active Record queries? I'm a newer dev, and I want to know if I'm causing excessive queries with an index method.
The index method for my Ownerships model looks like this:
 def index
  @ownerships = Ownership.all.select { |t| t.player_id == nil}

  Rails.application.config.counter = (Ownership.all.count - Ownership.all.select{ |t| t.player_id == nil}.count) + 1

It works fine. The goal is to set the counter equal to the id of the first Ownership that does not have a player assigned. But I'm concerned that I'm causing 3 separate queries every time the index action is called. Is that the case?
I know I can find the first record with 'nil' Player like this:
 Ownership.all.select { |t| t.player_id == nil}.first(1)

Is there a simple way to set the counter equal to the ID of the record that is found?
Thank you.

A: Using Ruby in AR is inefficient and I suggest using it as a last resort.
Always try to get to the database layer.
The following AR query
 Ownership.find_by(player_id: nil)

fires single SQL query:
SELECT  `ownerships`.*
FROM `ownerships`
WHERE `ownerships`.`player_id` = NULL
LIMIT 1

and does exactly what you need.
Be aware, that with find_by the following would result in NoMethodError, if no record found
 Ownership.find_by(player_id: nil).id
 #=> NoMethodError: undefined method `id' for nil:NilClass

Take a look into finders docs for more info on AR querying.

A: You are selecting all existing Ownerships and then process them in Ruby - which is very inefficient. What if you got 10k Ownerships? Or 100k? Not only the query to database is too heavy, but also Ruby can exhaust the memory if collection is too big.
What you might want to do here is using SQL to find all needed records.
In Rails, you can get SQL generated for you by ActiveRecord queries, like this:
@ownerships = Ownership.where(player_id: nil)

or
@ownership = Ownership.find_by(player_id: nil)

to find the first matching one.

A Documentary About 2 Canadians Arrested For Drug Trafficking In Australia Is Coming To Crave
It focuses on the so-called "cocaine babes" and their "stranger-than-fiction" story.👇

If you're a Canadian true crime fan, you might want to add Crave's new documentary Cocaine, Prison & Likes: Isabelle's True Story to your must-watch list.
On July 12, the streaming service confirmed that a new mini docu-series will tell the story of infamous Quebecers Isabelle Lagacé and Mélina Roberge, who were implicated in one of Australia's largest-ever cocaine seizures back in 2016.
The women were just 28 and 22 years old at the time.
The series follows Lagacé, who was labelled as a "major drug dealer," and her life back in Canada after she spent several years in prison in Australia.
According to Crave, she opens up about "how she became a mule for an international drug trafficking network" during the doc, and shares her "stranger-than-fiction story."
The story will be told across three 60-minute episodes and the series is expected to drop in December.
In the meantime, here's a brief look at the story so far.
Who are Isabelle Lagacé and Mélina Roberge?
Known by the Australian tabloids as the "cocaine babes," Quebecers Isabelle Lagacé and Mélina Roberge were charged with drug smuggling after Sydney police found 95 kilograms of cocaine in their cruise ship luggage in 2016.
Their haul was valued at AU$31 million (around CA$26 million) per CTV News, and was considered the largest seizure of narcotics carried by passengers of a cruise ship or airliner in Australian history.
The drugs were stored in their luggage during a seven-week cruise on the Sea Princess ship, which stopped in the U.K, Ireland, the U.S.,Bermuda, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and then Australia.
The women involved attracted controversy in particular due to the seemingly lavish lifestyle they enjoyed before they were arrested.
Addressing a Sydney courtroom at her sentencing back in 2018, Roberge admitted that she ended up involved for the "likes."
Per CBC News, she loved her Instagram account and was unable to resist the opportunity for a free luxury cruise because of the prospect of selfies in places like New York and Lima.
In exchange for the free vacation, she was required to pretend to be a traveller in what ended up being an international drug-smuggling operation.
"I know that I have made really poor choices. All I was seeing was how much attention and 'likes' I would get from my pictures," Roberge said in a statement to the court.
Lagacé and Roberge were sentenced to eight and seven years respectively in prison in Australia. Both were released in 2021 under conditions.
The young women, who were in their 20s at the time, were accompanied by 65-year-old André Tamine, who was sentenced to eight years and five months for his involvement.
Since her release in May 2021, Roberge has been interviewed by Félix Daigle and Étienne Boulay about her experiences.
Until now, Lagacé has remained pretty quiet about what happened.

A Joule Thief is a small low power circuit that uses up almost all the energy stored in its power source. The circuit is based on the Boost DC-DC converter where the output voltage is higher than the input voltage. The circuit below is a type of Joule Thief that does not require a ferrite toroid core inductor.
Looking at the schematic below – transistor T2 switches inductor L1 between ground and capacitor C1. When connected to ground, L1 charges up. When connected to C1, L1 acts as a current source and forces charge onto C1. This continues until node N1 is charged up to the Von of LED1. This lights up LED1 until the current flowing through the LED discharges node N1 to below its Von. This happens very fast (at several KHz) so to us it appears that LED1 is always on.
T2 is controlled by transistor T1. T1 is in a negative feedback loop through resistor R3. Now, VCC is divided between resistor R2 and resistor R3. As the voltage across R2 increases, the voltage across R3 will decrease and vice versa due to the voltage divider they form. This increase and decrease across R3 switches T1 on and off. As T1 switches on and off and the voltage across R2 varies. This voltage change at the base of T2 switches T2 on and off.
Unlike the other examples available online, I decided to make a board that did not require me to wire up additional components. My board contains the entire circuit as well as a AA battery holder. An AA battery is not required, the circuit should work at voltages up to 3v. A battery that is almost depleted will also work – so you can take the dead battery out of your flashlight and use it in this circuit to get some more usable light.
With a good battery the circuit runs for about 10 days at full brightness and then slowly dims over the next few days. I've been able to get two full weeks (day and night) of usable light. This is a great circuit for night lights, emergencies, and camping.
I also have a pre-built order at DirtyPCB where you can get 10+ copies for $12.
