Ahead of Science
Was Thomas Jefferson a Christian and Was Nikola Tesla an Atheist?
I had an interesting thought the other day that involves both of these people. If you've ever come across some quotes from these people they have a few quotes that people generally get confused on and that contradict the image people have of them. Let's take a look.
by Quinton Figueroa on November 25th, 2017
We all know that both Thomas Jefferson and Nikola Tesla were pretty smart people. They were definitely above average when it comes to intelligence. Many people would put Thomas Jefferson as one of the smartest Founding Fathers of America and many would put Nikola Tesla as the smartest, if not the smartest, scientist of all time. So we have some really smart people.
Now with that said smart people sometimes say things that throw people off. Both of these people have a few quotes that throw people for a loop and that seem to contradict the very position these people are branded as holding. This gets into a topic I talk about often which I call resolution. The resolution at which you look at something determines the clarity and quality of the content therein.
Christians think Jefferson is wrong about Jesus and atheists think Tesla is wrong about energy. But is Jefferson really not a Christian and is he wrong about Jesus? Is Nikola Tesla really an atheist and wrong about energy?
Let's start with Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson and Christianity
We all know Thomas Jefferson was well-read and on the more intellectual side when it comes to the Founding Fathers. Jefferson was clearly more educated and well-read than even some of the greats like George Washington. So when we come across something like the following quote it makes most Christian Americans who love the Founding Fathers take a second look:
"I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the earth."
Wait, what? Christianity is a superstition? Fables and Mythology? One half fools and the other half hypocrites? What is this guy talking about here? Isn't America a Christian nation? Aren't the Founding Fathers Christians? Well, this is where we need to look a bit deeper.
If you research this a bit you will find a Thomas Jefferson narrative similar to something like:
'On this 1776 Club episode, Clay & David tackle one of the most-discussed questions on this topic: was Thomas Jefferson a Christian?
As Clay tells it, the answer is clearly no.
Jefferson, Clay conveys, "wasn't a Christian in the full sense of the term ... he was a Unitarian; he edited the Bible; he didn't believe in the trinity, he didn't believe in the miracles, he didn't believe in the resurrection."'
http://jeffersonhour.com/blog/jefferson-christianity
And this is a fairly standard view for many Christians who research Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson obviously wasn't a fan of the religious, ritualistic aspect of Christianity. Nor was he a fan of the way the people in power used Christianity as a tool to mentally enslave people. He was a fan of the morality and virtue -- you know, the teachings of Jesus. He liked the self-help aspect not the follow your master part. After all, he rewrote the New Testament to his liking in the Jefferson Bible. He clearly had read it and had some thoughts on it.
But of course it goes much deeper than this. The better question is not was he a Christian or not, but why did he remove certain parts of Christianity in his version of the Bible? Why did he focus less on miracles and more on everyday wisdom? You see, many people will say Jefferson was not a Christian but then that will go in direct contradiction with what Jefferson says himself:
"I am a real Christian – that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ"
What is he talking about when he says "real Christian"? What is a real Christian? How you can call yourself a real Christian when you don't believe or talk about the resurrection of Jesus Christ? This is why many Christians disrespect Jefferson and why I respect him so much. He is able to read between the lines and see through things. He doesn't just take the surface level view of something and clump it all into one object. Instead, he breaks it doesn't into pieces and understands the individual components.
Allow me to elaborate.
We know that the average person thinks average. That's how it works. Intelligence and wisdom is like a bell curve. You have some really, really smart people on one side and some really, really dumb people on the other side. In the middle you have most people which are average.
So we have most Christians, being average intelligence, looking at the whole Jesus picture and saying that he is our risen savior, that he performed miracles, and on and on with the whole Christian spiel. And then we have this really smart Thomas Jefferson who has read and studied many, many books and thought about these things greatly. Thomas Jefferson was above average when it comes to intelligence and wisdom, especially for his time.
Okay, so we have average people thinking one way and an above average thinker thinking another way. You have to stop and ask yourself, who do you think has it right? Are you going to side with the average or the above average? Now sure, of course not all intelligent people are smart on everything and of course smart people get things wrong all the time. But we have to remember something very important.
We always think that we're right. We never think that we're wrong and somebody else is right.
If something that somebody else believes doesn't make sense to use then clearly they're wrong, not us. We always think that if somebody sees differently than us then they're wrong and we're right. We always bend truth to our favor rather than to the favor of the truth. And sometimes it takes a lot of study and patience before we reach the truth. And we do this with Thomas Jefferson.
Most Christians write him off as wrong because they think that they're right. Christians have the truth and anything that deviates, or more accurately expands on that, is clearly wrong. So they say. But it's not this. Thomas Jefferson wasn't stupid and I'm convinced he was most certainly right about Jesus. This brings me to one of my favorite quotes:
"If you're one step ahead of the world you're a genius. If you're two steps ahead you're insane."
Sterling Allen
It's okay to be smart. But when you're too smart you just come across as stupid or insane. That's what's going on here. He gets the Jesus story at a much deeper level. But of course he does, he was friends with fellow Founding Father Thomas Paine who also got it:
"The Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun."
Both of these people know that the Jesus story in the New Testament is a story, the same story that has been told time and time again throughout history. They get the story of Jesus as being a metaphor for spiritual and intellectual enlightenment. Most people don't. To most people this is simply not possible. Most people take a physical, literal interpretation instead of a non-physical, spiritual interpretation. And Thomas Jefferson knows this. He understands that while the Bible most certainly has many truths and teachings of immense wisdom, it also it used in ways to manipulate and take power away from people.
"The clergy converted the simple teachings of Jesus into an engine for enslaving mankind and adulterated by artificial constructions into a contrivance to filch wealth and power to themselves ... these clergy, in fact, constitute the real Anti-Christ."
When Thomas Jefferson calls himself a real Christian he is talking about a Christian that actually gets it. He is talking from the perspective and understanding of someone who has done interreligious study to understand how the New Testament story of Jesus fits in. He is talking as somebody who has actually done their homework and can see deeper. He understands that the purpose isn't to enslave yourself to the idol of Jesus but to instead change yourself to become like him through practice and effort. Thomas Jefferson wasn't a welfare Christian, he was a real Christian, something so few Christians really are.
So perhaps it isn't so much that Thomas Jefferson was stupid and wrong on this point. Perhaps, just maybe, the majority of people who are average are wrong on this point. You can't be right about everything, even Jesus and Christianity.
Nikola Tesla and Spirituality
Now let's move over to Nikola Tesla. With Nikola Tesla we see a similar motif to that of Jefferson, but from a different angle. Tesla was obviously a brilliant scientist. And these days people think that science and spirituality are two completely different things not capable of merging together. People think that scientific things are real and non-scientific things are fiction. Most people worship science as their religion and will only go as far as their current scientific tools and paradigm will take them.
And because of this the less spiritual group, the more materialistic, atheist group, leans towards scientists as being their kind. Most atheists worship the scientific greats the way most Catholics worship the priests and saints of old. It's the same thing but just a different ilk. So we have atheists thinking that most scientists are going to be materialists and non-spiritual like themselves. And this pattern generally does hold true for a lot of scientists.
But when you start to get into the really smart scientists, I mean the really smart ones like Tesla and Einstein, then this starts to break down. Then you start to have spiritual, non-physical type quotes pop up that throw atheists for a loop the same way Thomas Jefferson throws Christians for a loop.
When your magnitude of a subject penetrates deeper than the thin analysis a simple mind is equipped for it short-circuits and bypasses understanding.
To a mind of less wisdom it is hard to truly understand and honestly accept the seemingly contradictory positions of the idols that you follow.
Once again we're in a similar situation. We know that Tesla was not stupid. We know he was a brilliant guy. Almost everyone would concede that he is much smarter than they are. So why is it then that people who know they're not as smart as Tesla, and who know that Tesla understands energy better than just about anyone, get confused by a quote like this:
"The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence."
This is not a fun quote for atheists. Atheists absolutely love "science" and Tesla, yet this quote throws a monkey-wrench on their materialistic reality. What is he talking about when he says non-physical phenomena? Non-physical? Who is this soothsayer speaking nonsensical, New Age gibberish? Well, he's the scientist who brought us alternating current, that's who. So clearly he's not an idiot and clearly he's qualified to speak on the matter.
Like Christians with Jefferson, this is just not a fun quote for atheists. This goes against what they want somebody like this to say or believe. This goes against the materialist narrative. And sure, of course they will say things like this to try to pull him back under their wing:
"Tesla was the product of a time when spiritualism was a common belief among intellectuals. It was the environment that would spawn the first scientific investigators into what would be later called ESP.
It seems that the evidence for ESP tends to disappear as the experimental standards become more stringent, strongly suggesting that this phenomenon is not real."
https://www.quora.com/The-day-science-begins-to-study-non-physical-pheno...
Yeah, surely this must be it. Surely he's wrong on this matter and the average scientific intelligentsia is right. You know, those smart scientists that are so smart they're not inventing anything and instead teaching the creations of those people who do believe in non-physical reality. You know, those smart scientific professors that teach at a university instead of creating breakthroughs in science themselves.
"Tesla - an engineer, not really a scientist - was a raving lunatic in his later years. That quote likely comes from that period of his life."
http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/topic/128924-what-did-tesla-m...
Yeah, or maybe it's that he actually gets it at a much more fundamental, energetic level than the average person. The average person isn't smart. The average person is average. You can't expect the average person to grasp above average things. People will comprehend reality at the level they are capable of comprehending it. It just so happens that some of the smartest people like Tesla comprehend it at a level that is above the heads, or at least out of the narrative, their college professors have fostered them with.
And of course it's not just Tesla.
"Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real."
"The theory has to be interpreted that extra dimensions beyond the ordinary four dimensions the three spatial dimensions plus time are sufficiently small that they haven't been observed yet."
Edward Witten
"The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."
These people aren't stupid. They just come across stupid to average people. If smarter people agree with these guys and less intelligent people disagree with them what does that tell you? I'm not saying to believe somebody because they're smart. But if your foundation for understanding is based closer to the narrative of the average as opposed to the leaders and thinkers who push our reality forward then you may have some more homework to do. It's not a bad thing, but don't expect things to make sense.
To be so arrogant as to think all that you see, hear, smell, taste or touch is real is the height of ignorance. That's the position of a materialist and the position of somebody who refuses the reach inside themselves and pull out true understanding and wisdom.

Korvelo : The sad part in all of this
The sad part in all of this is that those that are supposed to have solved the God dilemma/puzzle have all failed and let us down. I am going to insult every human by insulting Tesla. Tesla was a very smart guy that started a new era for mankind, he was certainly smarter than anyone in his generation and smarter than anyone today. BUT WAS HE THAT SMART? Truth is that he wasn't that smart and all he discovered was given to him -- read his fucking interviews/quotes. He clearly wasn't smart enough to figure out dieting and made too many bad -- read stupid, business decisions and ended his days in shame and completely lost. He clearly said that the ideas came to him when he was young and if he was really smart he should have question that -- where did those came from? He failed to do that and by failing that he failed all of us. With so many clearly evidences that ideas come from exterior forces -- all great ideas do, if he was that smart he should have acknowledged that and try to explain it or find more about it. The same for Einstein, but at least he was smart enough to realize that he was not smart enough to get it. Most humans are so dumb-- or dumbed down, that they don't even know that they don't know -- pathetic. When it's not that complex to get the basics, what is shameful-- science and intelligent MY ASS.
Audley: Nikola Tesla, Faith vs. Science
There are countless individuals who are considered to be geniuses and whose minds are able to revolve only around themselves. They hold themselves in such high regard and because they are able to achieve greatness in some aspects of their lives they become self-absorbed and self-focused. When we do that ourselves, it's just a matter of time before we are "found out" by those who are even smarter than ourselves and discovered to be frauds in a spiritual sense.
Christians have often been seen by intellectuals as naive, simple-minded "sheeplings" who are unable to grasp anything on a deeper level and who follow Jesus Christ like children who are too young to understand the scientific world because the don't know better.
But for those of us who are Christians who look beyond ourselves and see Christ as part of the trinity and who love, revere and worship him - not out of ignorance but from a faith perspective - we need to know that God is who He says He is. Let us not be fooled by those who have tossed God and His Holy word aside. Stay strong in the Word, fellow Christians, and don't be fooled by those who can not see beyond themselves and the material world.

Cuphead DLC Delayed to 2021 Due To Recent Challenges
By: David Thompson
In September of 2017, Cuphead was initially released to PC and Xbox. The 1930s animation style, fast-paced gameplay, and extreme difficulty left fans captivated. The game left its mark on the community, taking home Best Art Direction, Best Independent Game, and Best Debut Indie at The Game Awards 2017. It has picked up many more awards throughout the past three years and eventually became playable on MacOs, Switch, and Playstation 4 as recently as July of this year.
In 2018, developer Studio MDHR announced that DLC titled The Delicious Last Course was set to release in 2019. The studio decided they needed to push back that date, and in a new announcement trailer in 2019, said the game would be coming in 2020. Now it appears this was not the final delay.
The official Studio MDHR Twitter account has announced that Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course will be delayed until next year. Here's their full statement:
While the Delicious Last Course is a continuation of Cuphead and Mugman's grand adventure, it's also a conclusion to the story that began on that fateful day at The Devil's casino.
In true Studio MDHR fashion, we aren't content for this final chapter to be anything less than our best work. Throughout development, we;ve challenged ourselves to put everything we learned from making Cuphead into the quality of The Delicious Last Course's animation, design, and music.
Meeting this standard has been extremely challenging for us amid the global pandemic that has affected so many of our fellow developers. Rather than compromise on our vision in response to COVID, we've made the difficult decision to push back the release of The Delicious Last Course until we are confident it will delight the Cuphead community the way we feel it should.
We know many of you have been waiting to return to the Inkwell Isles, and our goal is to make the trip back there next year a truly magical one.
Chad and Jared Moldenhauer
The original tweet can be seen below:
In the wake of the ongoing global pandemic affecting so many, we have made the difficult decision to push back the release of The Delicious Last Course. For our wonderful Cuphead community, we've prepared a letter from Studio MDHR founders Chad & Jared Moldenhauer to share more. pic.twitter.com/XiU57Wcn1y
— Studio MDHR (@StudioMDHR) November 25, 2020
This shouldn't come as a huge surprise to players, as we've seen multiple games now delayed due to the global pandemic. However, this is a huge letdown for so many people that fell in love with Cuphead and can't wait for more to be released. Unfortunately, a small, independent developer like MDHR doesn't have the backup funding to push out a game as easily as a Triple-A studio like Activision or EA. Even a larger developer like CD Projekt Red was forced to delay their release of Cyberpunk 2077 to December 13, 2020, because of the pandemic.
Based on the announcement, it seems like they would rather take more time to ensure that the game is at the level that they want it to be, rather than release a subpar addition to what is already an award-winning title. If you're one of many who are highly anticipating this new addition, it would be best to stay patient. The studio seemed to avoid giving any details of when exactly it could come out, vaguely stating "next year."
So don't hold your breath, but take relief in the fact that MDHR are going to make sure this DLC meet the high standard of the original, whenever it is released.

A month or so ago, I cast on a pile of Hats for Sailors to knit during summer travels. They're not all finished, but a few are!
Here are some photos of the finished hats. You can read the details on my Ravelry project page, username AuntMarti. And if you're a knitter or crocheter, we'd love to have you join us to knit a hat for a sailor!
First is "Barley," knit with Ewe Ewe worsted. This yarn just did NOT want to be knitted -- I unsuccessfully started three projects before finally finishing a hat!
This yummy orange marmalade colored yarn is from Inskein Yarn in San Antonio, hand dyed by Jennifer Caswell (the Discriminatin Knittah). I hope Jennifer dyes some more superwash merino, because I loved knitting "Willow Hat" with this yarn.
My best field trip while in Texas was to Comfort, and The Tinsmith's Wife. The June Hats for Sailors KAL is "Rib-a-Roni," and I used Black Trillium Fibres Pebble Worsted. Even the DH commented how pretty is this yarn!
Ten or so years ago, the boys and I took a "college visit" trip to the Pacific Northwest. One of the best places we visited was the Hudson's Bay Co. store in Victoria. I made up this pattern to celebrate the colors of the iconic HBC blanket.
Holiday Yarns is one of those yarns I couldn't find anywhere in Colorado. So I ordered this Wooly Ewe Worsted to knit "Rhubarb Helix" from Wisconsin -- then I found the yarn nearby at Colorful Yarns!
Thus far, I've knit 30 of 52 Hats for Sailors that is my goal for this year. As much as I love making quilts, knitting hats is a lot more portable for travel!
Not much quilting going on this summer -- I'm mostly sewing sleeveless tops to wear when I return to Texas next month.
Love the hats (the orange one is fabulous) and according to my calendar of national and international awareness days, today is the day for seafarers so an extremely appropriate post. You are so right knitting, especially hat sized projects, is so much easier to take travelling than quilting.
The hand-dyed marmalade color is yummy!

Fata Morgana originated as an audiovisual performance commissioned by the Pasadena Arts Council for the AxS Festival 2011 and curated by Steve Roden.
Fata Morgana is a kind of fragmented travelogue, reconstructed through field recordings from the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah and Lake Mead in the Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada. The piece mirrors the rare and complex Fata Morgana mirage phenomenon which hauntingly inverts the boundaries of figure and ground over both desert lands and seas.
Fata Morgana is presented here as a stereo mix recomposed for home listening.

The common theme is that Apple messed up big time when switching to a home-brewed mapping system for iOS 6. It got so bad that Apple even fired a long-time executive, Scott Forstall, although there may have been other reasons that hastened his departure.
No matter. It was quite true that, during the early days, Maps could be quite flaky, and in ways that were easy to document with big, bold, lurid screen shots. So when the 3D view showed a landmark melting into the background, such as Hoover Dam, you just knew Apple would be getting tons of bad publicity. Any instance involving wrong directions or locations simply added to the perception that Maps was a huge miss for Apple.
I suppose if Apple called it a public beta from Day One, and treated the mistakes with a touch of humor, the media wouldn't have reacted so critically. Maybe offer a prize for the silliest mistake, and invite iOS users to document the worst ills, so Apple could fix them. Don't take it seriously, and the criticisms would be blunted.
But Apple was serious. Tim Cook was serious in apologizing for the shortcomings, and inviting iPhone and iPad users to download someone else's software, even Google's, until things got better.
And get better they did. Even Consumer Reports, no fan of Apple, did a test comparing Apple Maps with Google Maps and found similar levels of accuracy in turn-by-turn directions. As Maps improved, there was one published test, involving some tech journalists residing in San Francisco, showing Apple's solution delivering more accurate driving instructions than Google's.
The perception remains that Apple Maps is bad, Google Maps is good. But the truth lies in a gray area where both are imperfect in different ways. I've documented situations where Google Maps screwed up big time, but Apple was mostly correct.
Now my scheme for getting directions is old fashioned. So I launch Google Maps on my Mac, have it calculate turn-by-turn directions to a specific location, and print a copy. As I said, old fashioned.
Google has an option to format the directions for printing, and a recent change has resulted in the use of smaller, lighter text with bold entries for the direction of the turn and the name of the street or location. The new formatting makes it difficult to follow without becoming a distracted driver.
It wouldn't matter quite so much if the directions were accurate, and that's not always the case.
In contrast, printed directions with Maps for Mavericks are better optimized, with larger, more readable text. Let me tell you that it makes a difference.
Sure, I could simply have Siri read the directions for me through my car's audio system, and not concern myself with the printed version. But I still prefer the hard copy.
Regardless, if both mapping systems are accurate, the results should be fairly similar. But in my most recent test, getting directions to a kosher-style deli located about 25 miles from my home, delivered somewhat different results from Apple and Google. So Maps offered fewer steps, but a more direct route to the destination. Google offered a more roundabout route, particularly close to my destination, which seemed superfluous.
Understand that the restaurant in question is located near a large shopping center, minutes from a highway, and thus should be fairly simple to reach. That Google offered some indirect steps — and that's not the first time I've encountered such results — made me more more inclined to prefer Apple. And that's before we get to the superior printing results.
This, however, doesn't mean that Maps is fixed and is, in all respects, a superior service to Google. But it's also clear that Apple has invested considerable resources into improving the product, and it shows. But it still may be less accurate in other locations. What's more, Apple doesn't provide support for public transit systems, something that's baked into Google Maps. On an iOS device, Apple merely points you to a third-party app, but that's changing, since Apple has purchased companies that do provide those services. Perhaps with iOS 8.
The problem with the Apple is bad and Google is good brigade is that they are suspended in time. They simply do not understand that Apple has had 18 months to improve the mapping service, and the results should be evident to anyone who checks out rendering and navigation accuracy. It's a lot better, and Apple deserves the credit for doing the right thing.
At the same time, the problems with Google's mapping service deserve more attention. No navigation system is perfect, but Google routinely gets away with this by putting up a "beta" warning when you launch one of their navigation apps for the very first time. They are not, it says in so many words, responsible for errors. If you get lost, therefore, that's just too bad.
I even encountered that message on an Android smartphone not too long ago, but that's a nasty fact the media ought to mention. If Google isn't demonstrating confidence in their product, why should you feel safe in using it?

In regards to any Apple Maps application.
I would like to be able to define my own route.
I would like to be able to record and save a route.
Google maps routes can be edited on the desktop (or laptop).
Routes predefined are not always the best or most convenient.
Just curious: Have you used Maps for OS X Mavericks?
On a meandering road trip from San Fran to Portland OR along the coast, Google and Apple mapping were equally horrendous. Apple had me exiting a major road and turning back as if I had missed an exit only to be sent on an eternal loop. Google told me to exit main roads for side streets that would take two to three times longer to navigate. We soon realized that we needed to review a route completely before we started driving.
Googles only advantages were in Street View and finding restaurants along the route. The latter advantage was diminished due to the lack of Siri integration, which is not their fault.
BTW, where is the Kosher style deli? I could use a pastrami on rye with a smear of mustard.
@Peter, The deli is Chompies, which has branches in Chandler, Tempe, Phoenix and Scottsdale, AZ. They make great pastrami sandwiches on rye, with genuine deli mustard.
The founding family, still in charge, is from New York City.
Apple maps vs. Google maps. The simple fact is that google maps works through bluetooth on my iphone so that the directions come through the car stereo. Apple maps does not do this, rather it uses the phone's speakers which are quite useless when I am using the radio. I don't understand why an Apple software product using Apple hardware does not provide the at least as good as the functionality that Google Maps provides. I thought that iOS7 would fix this obvious slight but, alas, to no avail. So it is Google Maps for me!
@Sylvan Wells, There is an option in Maps (tap the speaker icon on the bottom right of the Overview page) where you can set navigation voice volume and your output choice. On mine, there was the option to use the iPhone or my Kia's handsfree system. However, auto infotainment systems offer different and sometimes incomplete support for these features. So it still might not work in your car.
Google maps sent us on a long detour through Bakersfield one time. It wanted us to go a few miles from the freeway, make a U-turn and go back to the freeway.
Apple maps works fine in most places. I travel a lot on business all over the US and use it a lot.
I do like Maps on Mavericks. Nice way to check things before leaving the house.
The point about the nay Sayers being stuck in time is a general truth. The conventional wisdom seems to have a hard time correcting itself once it comes to a conclusion.
I have found problems with both Apple Maps and Google Map.
I find Apple Maps to be cleaner and nicer, but I often use Google maps first. Just like Chrome over Safari.
You're not really saying why you find Google Maps to be superior, since you have problems with both. All things being equal, in other words equally imperfect, wouldn't the cleaner and nicer app be a better choice?
It isn't just Google and Apple. There's also Bing. My favorite GPS app on my iPad is GPS Drive by Motion X.
The problem is that they use Bing mapping. Recently there was a message on the app that said that Bing changed the way it calculates addresses. It actually changes the address of several places. We went completely out of our way a number of times because it put us in the wrong borough here in NYC. I would put the correct address in, and it would change it after we got to the map, so that we didn't know that until we saw we were well out of our way.
It's finally been fixed after a month or so. Compared to that debacle, both Apple and Google are great.
Here in Vancouver, I use both Apple & Google Maps. Apple Maps for turn-by-turn navigation and Google Maps for POI.
Although Safari and Maps look nice, I like Chrome and Google Maps on iPhone better.
I do not like Safari. I just like Chrome on iOS and OS X a lot better.
Although Maps can be "off" for location, Apple Maps was SO bad in the past, that it ruined its reputation with me. I do use both though, when looking for a location, as they can both be off, depending on the situation. I actually trust Apple Maps more, but Google often happens to find locations better (when it does). I guess the artificial intelligence is better.
It's also nice that Google Maps has transit, and I like the traffic information and street view.
Apple could spend a few billion just employing a few people and mapping the world like Google with street view.
Sounds like a confusing post, but I know what I like and I prefer Google Maps and Crome. Maps by a slight margin and Chrome by a mile.

In his own words: Phil Parkinson's post-Nottingham Forest defeat
Bolton Wanderers were defeated 3-0 by Nottingham Forest on Wednesday evening in the Sky Bet Championship. When speaking to bwfc.co.uk after the game, manager Phil Parkinson covered these following topics.
On his assessment of the game…
We started the game poorly, in terms of giving the ball away too many times too cheaply.
When you do that against a team of Nottingham Forest's standard, you quickly become under pressure.
They looked like a team that spent a lot of money tonight and looked very dangerous.
The first goal was of our own making, even though it was a great finish from Joe Lolley.
After that, I thought we did better.
After half-time, we started well but when you are chasing a game against a team of their quality, you are always vulnerable on the counter.
We left our back four exposed too many times tonight and we need to look at that.
On starting the second half brighter…
Obviously being 1-0 down and making a change at the break, we came out as positive as we could.
We weren't able to get that goal, but as the game wore on, we threw more caution to the wind and they obviously had the quality to get at us on the counter and that is what happened tonight.
On Pawel Olkowski's late absence…
Pawel had a bit of a stomach bug yesterday and we thought he was okay today.
He came in, we named the team and then he took a turn for the worst and was unable to start.
I thought Mark Little came in and did well because that was a big ask of him.
Little and Andy Taylor came in and gave their all.
On both penalty decisions…
I think contentious is the right word to use.
Obviously, Grabban gets a lot of penalties and the second one in particular, from the viewpoint I had, I could see that Ben had taken his hands away.
I don't think anyone could believe when he gave it.
I suppose referees and officials need to know the players they are dealing with and they have got a lot of penalties this season.
I haven't seen them all, but they certainly bought both of the decisions tonight.
On moving on to Hull City this weekend…
We have to show bravery.
We always have to review the games, meet as a staff tomorrow and pick a team that we believe can go out there and show bravery.
Hull are going to be low, as they lost late on tonight and had a long trip down to Bristol.
We will be ready for Saturday. We have two games this week and lost one, now is the time to bounce back at the weekend.
Bolton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest on 24 Oct 18

Spencer Monroe est un des personnages principaux de la série télévisée The Walking Dead. Il est interprété par Austin Nichols et doublé en version française par Benjamin Pascal.

Biographie fictive

Saison 5
Spencer est le deuxième fils de Reg et Deanna Monroe, la dirigeante de la communauté d'Alexandria, et le frère d'Aidan.

Tireur de précision de la communauté presque exclusivement chargé de se poster à la tour de guet à l'entrée, il est présent à la fête organisée par Deanna pour faciliter l'intégration du groupe de Rick. Il essaye de discuter avec Sasha, mais cette dernière malaisée refuse.

Spencer s'isole avec ses parents dans leur maison pour pleurer la mort d'Aiden durant une expédition nécessaire pour régler leurs problèmes d'électricité.

Saison 6
À la suite des événements du final de la saison précédente où son père s'est fait tuer, il semble détester Rick car lui, Carter, Olivia, Tobin et Francine parlent de le tuer dans la réserve d'armes avant d'être surpris par Eugene, puis les meneurs de son groupe.

Lors de l'attaque des Wolves à Alexandria, il est posté dans la tour de guet. Peu efficace avec son fusil à lunette, il est forcé de sortir de la tour après qu'elle a été heurtée par le camion-bélier des Wolves dont il s'est évertué à abattre le chauffeur. Essayant de faire cesser le bruit du klaxon, il n'ose pourtant pas approcher du Wolf changé en rôdeur, mais Morgan apparait et l'élimine à sa place. En accord avec lui qui se charge d'entrer aider sa communauté, Spencer protège ensuite sa mère cachée dans le camion en se postant à côté, fusil au poing.

Les Wolves repoussés, la horde de rôdeurs s'amasse autour de la cité et apeurés, certains résidents veulent piller l'épicerie mais Spencer intervient et parvient à stopper ses concitoyens. Cependant, plus tard, Deanna qui travaillait sur un plan de développement de la ville se rend compte que Spencer n'a agit que dans son propre intérêt, s'emparant lui-même de denrées. Il la blâme de les avoir trop protégés à tel point qu'ils sont sans défenses maintenant.

Lors de l'épisode Heads Up, il tente de prendre un camion pour détourner la horde en se hissant vers le clocher suspendu à un câble, mais ce dernier lâche et il tombe entre la horde et l'enceinte. Il sera sauvé de justesse par Tara, Rick, Tobin et Morgan.

Pendant l'invasion de rôdeurs à Alexandria, il se réfugie avec Aaron et Heath à l'infirmerie où ils aideront Denise et Michonne pour soigner la blessure à l'œil de Carl, puis ils décideront de sortir avec cette dernière pour aider Rick, qui combat seul les rôdeurs afin de les tenir à distance. Rejoints au fur et à mesure par d'autres habitants, ils massacrent la horde durant le restant de la nuit.

Dans l'épisode The Next World, il va dans les bois avec une pelle. il sera rejoint par Michonne. Ils retrouvent Deanna transformée en rôdeur, que Spencer était certain d'avoir aperçu précédemment. Aidé par Michonne qui la maintient, il achève sa mère puis l'enterre.

Après la rupture entre Abraham et Rosita, il a une aventure avec elle. Mais elle ne semble pas trop attachée à lui.

Dans l'épisode final Last Day on Earth, il reste à Alexandria préparé à une attaque des "Sauveurs".

Saison 7
Spencer et Rosita partent récupérer la moto de Daryl pour la donner à Dwight, en train d'essayer d'asservir Daryl durant sa captivité.

Après avoir volé deux armes, il se fait sévèrement reprendre par Rick car à cause de son geste, Negan a failli tuer Olivia. Spencer, bien qu'il n'était pas présent, fait comprendre à Rick qu'il le tient responsable de la mort de Glenn et Abraham, ce à quoi Rick répond qu'à la prochaine réflexion de ce genre, il lui "cassera les dents".

Durant l'absence de ce dernier lors d'une expédition de ravitaillement avec Aaron, il part également de son côté avec le père Gabriel Stokes. Souhaitant se confesser, il lui avoue son désir que Rick meure, mais Gabriel qui reste loyal envers Rick lui demande alors d'arrêter la voiture, et décide de retourner seul et à pied plutôt que de rester en sa présence. En continuant sa mission en solitaire où il prend des risques avec un rôdeur suspendu à un arbre, il trouve des cartons de vivres qu'il ramène à Alexandria, occupée par les Sauveurs de Negan qui a raccompagné Carl Grimes après son assaut raté du Sanctuaire. Spencer en profite pour se faire mousser, attirant la gratitude d'un Sauveur pour les vivres, et les faveurs implicitement sexuelles de Laura qui l'invite à venir la voir au repaire de Negan.

Spencer tente par des flagorneries et une partie de billard en face de la maison des Grimes, de persuader Negan de tuer Rick afin de le promouvoir chef d'Alexandria à sa place. Mais Negan, qui le perçoit alors comme un lâche, l'assassine brutalement en l'étripant au couteau de chasse (ce qui provoque la tentative d'assassinat du chef des Sauveurs par Rosita et l'exécution punitive d'Olivia).

Alors qu'il est laissé marinant dans ses tripes, Spencer revient en rôdeur quand Negan quitte les lieux avec ses hommes. Il est achevé par Rick qui par leur mort, prend conscience auprès de Michonne le soir suivant de la nécessité de combattre les Sauveurs.

Latortue Government just as Lax as its Predecessor
Two Questioned in Connection with Jean Dominique Killing
No Major Haiti Risk Seen from Wyclef Election Bar
Extract from Reporters Without Borders open letter to Haiti's presidential candidates 10 October 2005 (preamble): The situation of journalists and the media is a key indicator of a country's democratic health. Reporters Without Borders, an organisation dedicated to defending press freedom worldwide, again saw how true this is during a field mission to Haiti from 22 to 28 September.
On the Jean Dominique murder 'investigation':
More than five years have passed since the double murder of Dominique, Radio Haïti Inter's director and political commentator, and the station's caretaker, Jean-Claude Louissaint, on 3 April 2000 in Port-au-Prince. The judicial investigation, concluded on 21 March 2003, resulted in the indictment and arrest of six members of armed gangs known as "chimères." They were Dymsley "Ti Lou" Milien, Jeudi "Guimy" Jean-Daniel, Philippe Markington, Ralph Léger, Freud Junior Demarattes and Ralph Joseph. The charges against the last three were dropped by an appeal court on 4 August 2003.
We were dismayed to learn that Ti Lou, Guimy and Markington took advantage of a prison riot in February 2005 to escape. During Reporters Without Borders' latest visit to Haiti, in September, several sources close to the Dominique investigation told us that Ti Lou and Guimy are now in Martissant, a district on the south side of Port-au-Prince, where they have become gang leaders. If they have been located, why have they not been recaptured and returned to prison?
The Reporters Without Borders delegation that visited Haiti in June 2004 obtained assurances from interim President Boniface Alexandre, Prime Minister Gérard Latortue and then justice minister Bernard Gousse that the judicial proceedings in the Dominique case would be relaunched. The supreme court issued a ruling on 29 June 2004 ordering a new investigation. Thereafter it took nearly a year for an investigative judge to be properly appointed, and then he was unable to work.
Is it normal that the justice minister publicly announced on 3 April 2005, the fifth anniversary of Dominique's death, that a judge had been put in charge of the case, and yet the judge has not been able to see a single piece of evidence in the file? Is it normal that the two letters which this judge sent to the justice minister requesting the necessary resources to carry out this investigation never received a reply? Is it also normal that the promise of resources (car, driver and bodyguards) made to the judge by Gousse's successor as justice minister, Henri Dorléans, was never acted on?
These highly questionable failures and omissions compound the many others that have dogged the case since the outset. Former Port-au-Prince deputy mayor Harold Sévère and Ostide "Douze" Pétion were arrested on 14 March 2004 on suspicion of involvement in the Dominique murder. Annette "Sò Anne" Auguste, Aristide's liaison with "popular organisations," who was arrested in connection with another case on 10 May 2004 in Port-au-Prince, was later alleged to be also linked to the Dominique case. Nonetheless, none of these suspects has undergone the least interrogation. Similarly, there has never been any attempt to verify the alleged hit-man Ti Lou's claim that he was paid 10,000 dollars to kill Dominique. Finally, no light has ever been shed on the suspicious deaths of two witnesses.
The Reporters Without Borders open letter concluded with a call for the Haitian National Police to arrest the Dominique murder suspects who are still at large and circulate openly.

The Intellectual Community of La Rivoluzione Liberale'
Niamh Cullen
While Piero Gobetti has often been the subject of historical attention in Italy since his death in 1926, the existing literature on this anti-fascist intellectual and editor has almost always considered him in the context of political tradition and focused on his theories and historical studies rather than on his editorial activities. This article aims to redress this balance, by situating Gobetti within the context of the socio-economic environment of post First World War and early fascist Turin, and by examining his role as an editor and cultural organiser with respect to his most well known periodical: La Rivoluzione Liberale. Drawing on the personal correspondences of Gobetti and the administrative archives of the periodical, an account of its circulation and readership will be constructed in order to determine the nature (in geography, education, profession and political affiliation) of the community of the 'Liberal Revolution'.

Unlike so many other cooking classes offered throughout Paris, Chef Puckette's menu is designed around classic French food with an ethnic twist. No stranger to the subject, Puckette's best-selling The Ethnic Paris Cookbook (co-author Olivia Kiang-Snaije; DK Publishing; $30) is an exploration of the many cultures that have historically—and currently—influence what we think of as Parisian food: coquilles dressed up Japanese style with sake and soy, for example, or, as my fiancé Josh and I (above) sliced up in class, a salmon tartar, which we mixed with Lebanese Kibbeh nayye, a hearty bulgar wheat. To be clear, chef Puckette doesn't just dream these combinations up; she's well versed in the city's Middle Eastern, African, and Asian influences, largely shaped by immigrant and ex-pat communities.
Groups—which are capped at eight people—tag along on Nahem and Puckett's farmers market trips and then head back to Puckett's beautiful family home and kitchen, right off of Rue Claire, for hands-on instruction. In addition to the Kibbeh nayyeh, made with both fresh and smoked salmon, our group of five also cooked duck breast with roasted peaches, and finished off with an almond macaroon galette with strawberries and crème fraiche.
Though cooking skills in the class were mixed (one 15-year-old chef-to-be seemed to have a better handle on her knife skills than the rest of us), Puckette expertly guided us through food preparation, filling in any time lags (when the duck was in the oven, say, or while we uncorked bottles of southern French wine) with neighborhood restaurant recommendations, and tips on where to buy the best pots and pans and to vacuum seal spices and cheeses for travel, as well as fascinating tidbits of Paris's ethnic food history (the never ending love affair between Japanese and Parisian chefs and their food was one favorite topic).
The friendly, relaxed environment was a much-needed break from endless walking tours, and the small, intimate group size and late-afternoon conversation made the experience one to remember. $240 for five hours, including all food and wine.

Supply Chain, Labor Remain Key Challenges for Grocers
FMI's "Food Retailing Industry Speaks 2021" report released
Bridget Goldschmidt
A report from FMI has found that lingering supply chain issues and employee retention and training are key issues that have come to the forefront over the past year.
To mark the release of "The Food Retailing Industry Speaks 2021" report, Leslie G. Sarasin, president and CEO of Arlington, Va.-based FMI - The Food Industry Association, held a presentation of the research, based on the survey responses of 103 food retailers and wholesalers, representing more than 38,000 stores, in the second quarter of 2021. In her remarks, Sarasin emphasized that lingering supply chain issues and employee retention and training were key issues that had come to the forefront during a year she described as "a wild ride still in progress."
Key takeaways from the report were as follows:
Consumer shifts: Retailers adapted to the changes in the ways that customers have been consuming meals and snacks during the pandemic, and these evolving trends were seen as positive by almost all food retailers (88% positive). Additionally, consumers' focus on health and well-being was seen by 77% of respondents as having a positive effect on the food retailing industry.
Transformation of online shopping: The pandemic has spurred a significant increase in online shopping and many food retailers have upped their game in this area. The vast majority (86%) now have online sales and almost all (95%) saw online sales increase in 2020. Moreover, 81% of food retailers said that they're increasingly experimenting with their e-commerce strategies.
Worsening workforce woes: Front-line workers have been hailed as heroes throughout the pandemic, but recruitment and retention grew more difficult as turnover rose sharply. Retailers have adopted various strategies to address these challenges, among them higher wages and benefits, flex-time and training/skills development.
Supply chain challenges: Pandemic shortages have led retailers to rethink their supply chains and their engagement strategies with trading partners. Trucking and transportation capacity is one of the biggest hot-button issues, with two-thirds of responding retailers saying it's having an adverse impact on their businesses.
Rising tech investments: Food retailers have ramped up investments, implementation and experimentation. Eleven percent are already using micro fulfillment, with 15% expecting to do so in 2021. As for ghost kitchens, 8% are using them and 12% are planning to. Notably, more than a third of food retailers are currently using some form of artificial intelligence.
Successful community support: Amidst a devastating pandemic, retailers have focused on community support and ties, ranking community programs as among the most successful of their service differentiation strategies.
Enhancing the in-store experience: Retailers are working hard to improve the customer experience, which have suffered from the pandemic. Among such initiatives, 83% of respondents are implementing new technologies to improve the customer experience and 61% working on reintroducing and enhancing self-service experiences in stores. Strategies such as scan-and-go and mobile payments aim to make checkout more convenient.
More meal solutions: More than 80% of responding retailers expect to increase space allocation for fresh-prepared grab-and-go selections, and 70% will do so for plant-based foods and meat alternatives. About two-thirds said that focusing on family meal solutions has been a key competitive differentiator.
Emphasis on social responsibility: Retailers' stepped-up social responsibility efforts include charitable donations (90%); diversity in hiring (73%); overall diversity, equity and inclusion efforts (70%); energy use reduction (61%); and food waste reduction (57%).
Complex financial picture: Food retailers saw considerably higher sales and transaction sizes in 2020, but expenses soared, denting financial performance. Retailers made major investments in employee and customer safety, including personal protective equipment, cleaning and sanitizing, signage and plexiglass. Similarly, the costs of attracting and retaining employees grew as retailers increased wages, benefits, training and skills development.
During her presentation, Sarasin noted that new investments and strategies were needed to address supply chain challenges in particular, since "an easy solution simply doesn't exist," but that the industry would discuss these problems in depth at FMI's October Annual Business Conference and, more broadly, at the organization's Midwinter Executive Conference slated for January.

Q: java split string with regex and store it in variables I have a file and i have to read it line by line. The file contains similar lines, like these:
asd@lol kek|1.1.1.1
 title@content m e s s a g e|2.3.4.5
I read these lines to String variables. How can i split these strings to other variables?
For example: var1=title, var2=content, var3=m e s s a g e, var4=2.3.4.5
I tried something like this, but i cant find the solution:
stringArray=line.split("|");

A: You can use this regex for matching and grab the captured groups:
^([^@]+)@(\S+)\s([^|]+)\|(.*)$

RegEx Demo
I suggest you read up a bit on difference between split and match operations.

Why does the Charlottesville Retirement Commission like weapons?
Published Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2020, 10:12 am
By David Swanson
(© Tach – stock.adobe.com)
The Nov. 28 Daily Progress report on the Charlottesville Retirement Commission finally taking baby steps toward divestment from fossil fuels begins by quoting a resolution passed at my urging a year-and-a-half ago by the Charlottesville City Council on divestment from fossil fuels and weapons. It then reports that the City divested its operating budget from fossil fuels, but simply omits that it did the same with weapons.
In fact, the whole article makes no mention of weapons beyond the resolution it quotes. It offers the reader no explanation for what weapons are doing in there. The same report includes a photo of a Zoom meeting of the Retirement Commission, but the photo is from months ago when the Daily Progress reported on my resigning from that body over its failure to divest from fossil fuels or weapons, which is why I'm in the photo.
The Daily Progress reports that the Retirement Commission is divesting from fossil fuels because a study found that it would have made more money had it done so earlier. Yet, as publicly discussed at the meeting during which I resigned, the Commission's studies found that to be true for both fossil fuels and weapons.
The fact is that members of the Retirement Commission have said during its meetings, many of which I wasted my time on, that they value weapons and associate weapons with patriotism and defense. Each time that I pointed out to them that U.S. weapons companies are the top suppliers of weapons to dictatorships around the world, the response was simply blank faces. This inconvenient fact was discussed in the City Council meetings on this topic a year-and-a-half ago, video of which is here: divestcville.org.
The U.S. government allows, arranges for, or in some cases even provides the funding for, U.S. weapons sales to 41 of 50 countries designated as "unfree" by the U.S.-funded Freedom House. That's 82 percent. These U.S. weapons sales between 2010 and 2019 are documented by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute Arms Trade Database and the U.S. military in a document titled "Foreign Military Sales, Foreign Military Construction Sales And Other Security Cooperation Historical Facts: As of September 30, 2017." Here are the 41: Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Brunei, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa), Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Ethiopia, Gabon, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Libya, Mauritania, Nicaragua, Oman, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Yemen.
Why would the Daily Progress choose to let the Retirement Commission simply go silent on the topic of weapons, rather than asking it for its reasons for investing the savings of good people in the tools of mass slaughter?
Why wouldn't any media outlets in Charlottesville ask the Retirement Commission to explain its behavior?
Why should someone who worked a full career at a decent nonviolent job have their retirement be dependent on more wars getting started?
The Daily Progress just ran a column on the corruption of WestExec Advisors, from which a number of President-Elect Joe Biden's cabinet nominees are being drawn. We don't want those launching wars to be profiting from them. Why should those teaching our children about wars in Charlottesville City schools be profiting from them?

Sen. Cory Booker's Record on School Choice Sets Him Apart From Many Other Democrats
Sen. Booker has a laudable track record as an advocate for educational freedom.
Christian Barnard
Senior Policy Analyst
Early in the 2020 presidential campaign, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is trying to set himself apart from a crowded field of Democratic candidates. He supports some big government policies such as the "Green New Deal," and Medicare-for-All, but is also an advocate for important civil rights issues, like criminal justice reform, marijuana legalization — and, unlike many Democrats, Sen. Booker supports school choice.
Despite many in Booker's party claiming that charter schools and voucher programs are bad for kids, he knows better. In fact, he recognizes school choice for what it is: a civil rights issue oft-neglected by other Democrats.
Booker has a laudable track record as an advocate for educational freedom. When he was Newark's mayor from 2006 to 2013, he managed to triple the number of students attending charter schools in his city. He even served on the board of one of the city's first charter schools. A vocal proponent of private school vouchers as well, Booker founded an organization devoted to expanding school choice in New Jersey.
Once, Booker was even a close partner of Betsy DeVos, current education secretary for the Trump administration and former president of school choice advocacy group the American Federation for Children.
These days, Booker's support for educational freedom may seem a rare break from the Democratic mold, but it's hardly unprecedented. Many of America's top cities for school choice — including D.C., Milwaukee, Detroit — are Democratic strongholds. In fact, the modern school choice movement was largely pioneered by urban, African-American Democrats and influential thinkers from the left-leaning Brookings Institution who were eager to give families in struggling school districts the right to choose a better education. They recognized the major civil rights problem that emerges when government forces disadvantaged families to attend low-performing public schools and cuts off their other options. This is often done in the name of equal opportunity, but policies that restrict choice generally perpetuate inequities in school quality.
It's actually easy to see why those on the Left should in theory support charter schools, vouchers, and other school choice initiatives. Poor families are the ones most affected by underperforming public schools, and school choice programs disproportionately help disadvantaged children. Nonetheless, many in the Democratic Party claim that school choice proponents are out to "gut" America's public schools and leave disadvantaged families in the dust.
Teachers' unions largely drive this false narrative. The two largest teacher unions, the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers, combine to form one of the Democratic Party's largest base of support.
Booker used to confront unions when they stood in his way. In a 2008 forum at the Democratic National Convention, he called unions "vicious" for their opposition to education reform, complaining that the party's establishment was unwilling to stand up against powerful union interests that were trapping children in poor schools. Later, he noted that he was "tarred and feathered" for his stances on education and was "literally brought into a broom closet by a union and told [he] would never win office if [he] kept talking about charters."
When, as mayor, he pushed to implement a new contract with Newark teachers that included merit-based pay, where teachers could receive bonuses up to $12,500 based on student performance, the teachers' union fought back, openly opposing his re-election in 2010 and later refusing to endorse his senatorial campaign in 2013.
But Booker's efforts worked. An above-average 55.8 percent of Newark's elementary charter school students test as proficient in English Language Arts, while only 32.5 percent of Newark's public school district students in grades three through eight score as proficient. Similarly, 44.5 percent of Newark's elementary charter students test proficient in math, compared to only 26.4 percent of their public school counterparts. In 2015, Stanford's Center for Research on Education Outcomes found that Newark's charter school sector was the second-highest performing charter network in the country.
Faced by increased competition from charters, traditional public schools have made gains, too. They've grown graduation rates by nearly 20 percent since 2011.
While no reform is ever perfect, Sen. Cory Booker shouldn't have to hide from his past education policy decisions, after all, they benefited thousands of Newark children. The Democrats' concerns over civil rights compels them to seek out reforms and policies that help disadvantaged students — so if anything, the work Sen. Booker has done on school choice should be celebrated, not shunned.

UHN staff use online education platform to prepare for redeployment
Rosa Seif, Nuclear Medicine Technologist at UHN, is one of several UHN staff who volunteered to be redeployed to Long Term Care facilities experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks (Photo: UHN).
When Rosa Seif volunteered to be redeployed to Long Term Care (LTC), she didn't anticipate how much she would learn and grow as a healthcare provider.
A Nuclear Medicine Technologist at UHN and a 2018 graduate of the Michener Institute of Education at UHN, Rosa had little bedside care experience and even less experience working with the geriatric population.
To prepare for her redeployment, Rosa used the new Critical + Covid Care online learning platform, an online tool that bridges healthcare providers' knowledge and skill set with the requirements to care for those impacted by COVID-19 in acute and LTC.
"I found the website informative and easy to navigate, and I had more confidence going into this new environment," says Rosa. "Even during my work in LTC, I would go back to it to refresh my knowledge and find resources related to specific experiences I had on a particular day."
Some sections she often tapped into were the Covid-19 Outbreak Guidance in Long Term Care, Mobility and Transferring, and sections regarding wounds, dementia, and depression, among others.
One of the major takeaways for Rosa was that all behaviour has meaning when it comes to individuals with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Understanding that each resident is at a different stage in their life allowed her to create more meaningful connections with the residents, especially during a pandemic when human connection can easily be lost.
Finding new solutions to engage with patients
During the pandemic, the LTC facility was affected by a COVID-19 outbreak. To protect residents and staff, the facility implemented a No-Visitor policy and daily activities were cancelled.
Rosa was concerned about one resident in particular who showed a great decline in her health and well-being, and would not eat, speak or sleep.
She used the resources on the website to find meaningful ways to provide the residents with enriching activities. The Aging Process module offered ideas on how to implement activities like exercises, art, listening to music, and finding new ways to connect with others.
In her final weeks at the facility, Rosa noticed a significant change in that one particular resident.
"Whenever she saw the UHN team, she would have a big smile on her face," says Rosa. "She seemed very happy and this truly touched all of our hearts."
Looking ahead for pandemic preparedness
The Critical + Covid Care platform now has over 7,500 users across all Ontario Local Health Integration Networks and over 50 professions.
"In terms of ongoing use, 87 per cent of respondents indicate they will continue to access the site in the coming months in preparation for a second wave," says Maria Tassone, Senior Director of Continuing and Professional Development at UHN. "These preliminary results are one demonstration of the wide reach and meaningful contribution of the learning platform to healthcare providers across the province."
With fewer cases of COVID-19 in Ontario hospitals, redeployment is no longer occurring at UHN.
"As of right now, our team is preparing the platform to focus on pandemic preparedness should a second wave of COVID-19 occur," says Maria.
Aside from the platform, Rosa is grateful for the dedicated and passionate teams she worked with who made the transition easier. The teams included Personal Support Workers (PSWs) and nurses at the LTC facility, in addition to her team from UHN.
"Each person had something different to offer and teach me when it came to caring for the residents," says Rosa.

Q: Query two tables together, only one record displaying I am building a polling system and I have a query right now that is supposed to select all of the polls and count all of the votes for each of the polls (which lie in a separate table). So my tables look like:
Polls:
ID
Title
Body

Votes:
ID
PollID
Vote  (This value is either 0 or 1)

Well the totaling of the votes looks like it is working, the issue is that it is currently only displaying one record.
Currently my query looks like this:
SELECT POLLS.ID,
       POLLS.TITLE,
       POLLS.BODY,
       Sum(CASE
             WHEN VOTES.VOTE = 1
                  AND VOTES.POLLID = POLLS.ID THEN 1
             ELSE 0
           END) AS yay,
       Sum(CASE
             WHEN VOTES.VOTE = 0
                  AND VOTES.POLLID = POLLS.ID THEN 1
             ELSE 0
           END) AS nay,
       FROM     polls,
       VOTES
ORDER  BY POLLS.ID

Also I am using PHP with Codeigniter.

A: SELECT polls.ID,polls.title,polls.body,
  SUM(case when votes.vote = 1 then 1 else 0 end) AS yay,
  SUM(case when votes.vote = 0 then 1 else 0 end) AS nay,
FROM polls
JOIN votes ON polls.ID = votes.pollID
  GROUP BY poll.ID, polls.title, polls.body
  ORDER BY polls.ID

A: You need to GROUP BY pollID the values in the votes table:
SELECT p.ID, p.title, p.body, v.yay, v.nay
FROM
(
    SELECT PollID,
      SUM(CASE WHEN vote = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS yay,
      SUM(CASE WHEN vote = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS nay,
    FROM votes
    GROUP BY PollID
) v
INNER JOIN Polls p ON v.PollID = p.Id
ORDER BY p.ID

A: I'd go with:
    SELECT polls.ID, polls.title, polls.body,
    SUM(IF(votes.vote = 1, 1, 0)) AS yay,
    SUM(IF(votes.vote = 0, 1, 0)) AS nay
    FROM polls
    JOIN votes ON (votes.pollID = polls.ID)
    GROUP BY ID, title, body

A: What you are missing is "GROUP BY". Use GROUP BY PollID while taking sum.
