Q: Why do I get "Session engagement user property is in the bundle without session ID." Firebase error? My app is using firebase storage for playing songs. The app is working fine but when I check my device logs I found this error. What is the cause of this error?

A: I would say, this is part of some automatic collected events from Firebase Analytics and not something you need to worry about. As you said yourself, your app is working fine. So this should not be a bother.
You can check here. There are some automatically collected events for session_start and user_engagement. It is most likely part of something internal.

DINING SET- new pics, seats redone!
The Drexel set I have is all cleaned, touched up, new black sueded fabric on the seats and ready to deliver. It really is beautiful! Sad that I do not have the 4th chair, but knowing this seats 10 anyway, you can totally add a set of different chairs to pull off the look and I suggest something totally different like a set of Bertoia wire chairs. I am sure if you continue to look a matching set will pop up but in the mean time, the mix up look is pretty hot right now and you can use that to your advantage! If you know anyone searching for a set, please send them my way! I have this priced very low under market value and would love to find it a great home. etsy listing for pick up/delivery (REGIONAL buyers) please, Chairish.com/shop/madmodworldvintage for white glove shipping. My chairish listing will probably be live in the next day or 2.
Many touch ups, lacquer applied and new seat covers in sueded charcoal have been added. Such a great set!
I am in the process of sanding my first 2 tables of 6. My stains are here and this will be the first time I am trying the wheat finish so am looking forward to that. I have a lot of hand sanding left, but spent some time after work today using a sander on the larger flat table tops. Plus I got some tips from my boss and coworker. The beautiful tiered cocktail table is reserved and going to be refinished in wheat. I will also do one pair of the floating top step end tables in wheat and they are up for grabs. I will then do the 2nd pair of step end tables in champagne. The corner table could go with either set so will do that one last to match either stain. I am excited to make these pretty again! Of all of the things I find, restore and find homes for, Heywood is what I choose to keep in my home and that is why I choose to save it. If you search back through my blog posts, you can find some recapping my Heywood restorations. It is probably about a year old now! It is amazing how many projects come and go in a year! Click on the PAST SAVES tab to see pics and info from some of my prior Heywood Wakefield restorations.
Pole lamp is serviced, brass polished and it is ready to use!
My husband got to go over the pole lamp and it is ready to use. A word of safety advice on these things. Both pole lamps had wiring issues. You will not find them unless you take apart the pole and inspect. My husband has test sets to check for shorts, etc. Any loose fixtures were tightened. I still would not leave any vintage light on unattended. Please note with this light there is damage from a hot bulb on the gold shade. Using LED bulbs can help prevent that in the future, but once again, keep a check on your vintage lamps so that you know they aren't getting too hot for the shades. It is a real shame to find damaged items and surely you will not want to be responsible for that. Many people used bulbs with too high a wattage, but in general, a light bulb gives off a lot of heat. Be smart and stay safe!
I just shipped out the adorable blonde record cabinet! That beauty had some of the most views of anything I have ever listed on etsy! Glad she finally got herself a home! So many more awesome items are available! I know I have been sourcing some higher end items lately and I do love being able to bring those things to my shop, but I am aware that they are not for everyone. Thanks for following along in my adventures and please share my info with folks you may know in the design field, mcm enthusiasts and people looking to redecorate. I appreciate the support and referrals!

Following the debate, 3,400 NUHW members who live and work in Los Angeles will vote to decide the union's endorsement
Los Angeles — At least three of the top candidates vying to become the next mayor of Los Angeles will participate in a forum sponsored by the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) and Courage California on Saturday, March 26.
The forum will provide Los Angeles healthcare workers and Courage California members an opportunity to query the candidates about their plans to help improve access to mental health care and protect the health for frontline caregivers as well as address other pressing issues facing Los Angeles, including affordable housing, police accountability and investing in under-served communities.
"We need to know where the candidates stand on issues and hear their vision for creating a better quality of life for all of Los Angeles' working people and their families," NUHW President Rosselli said.
Who: U.S. Rep Karen Bass, Los Angeles Councilperson Kevin de León and Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer. Candidates Rick Caruso and Joe Buscaino have been invited to participate, but have not confirmed whether they will attend.
What: A forum moderated by National Union of Healthcare Workers Secretary-Treasurer Sophia Mendoza and Courage California Executive Director Irene Kao. Members of NUHW and Courage California will also ask questions on key topics facing Los Angeles.
When: 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, March 26. Opening statements by candidates are scheduled to begin at 10:20 a.m.
Where: Credentialed news media planning to cover the event should RSVP in advance to martz@nuhw.org or fcastro@nuhw.org to receive viewing instructions.
"We're excited to partner with NUHW to help shine a light into how the top mayoral candidates plan to address critical issues facing Los Angeles," said Irene kao, Courage California Executive Director, who will co-moderate the debate.
Immediately after hearing from the candidates, NUHW will hold an endorsement election in which all of its members who live or work in Los Angeles will have the opportunity to vote for which candidate will receive the union's election.
"Our union's endorsement will be decided by our members," Rosselli said. "We are a fully transparent union. After our members have had a chance to hear directly from the candidates, we'll conduct a vote — and whoever wins will have the full support of our union."
The National Union of Healthcare Workers is a democratic, member-led union that represents 16,000 healthcare workers in California and Hawaii.
Courage California, formerly Courage Campaign, works to unite communities organizing for progressive change, fight the forces of corruption, and hold our representatives to account in order to ensure that California's elected officials act with courage.

How To Fix UC Browser Common Issues
Issue 1: Out-of-Space Error
Issue 2: Error While Downloading Files
Issue 3: Browser Freezes And Crashes
Issue 4: UC Browser Unable To Connect To The Network
Over the last few years, the UC browser has grown in popularity and offers a number of unique capabilities that are not available on Google Chrome or any other mainstream browser. Apart from that, when compared to the pre-installed browser, UC Browser's surfing and downloading rates are fairly quick.
The foregoing facts do not imply that the UC browser is flawless, as it has its own set of flaws and issues. Sometimes it shows bugs related to downloads, sometimes, it gets random freezes and crashes. UC Browser running out of space is also one of the common issues, and internet connection errors have been reported by users. But don't worry; in this article, we'll go over some of the most common UC browser issues and how to resolve them.
In this article, we will learn simple steps and methods on how to Fix UC Browser Common Issues
On Android, browser apps are mostly used to download various multimedia files. However, if there is no more space available, none of these files can be downloaded. Because UC Browser's default download location is an external SD card, it's possible that the "out of space" message will appear. The download location must be shifted to internal storage to resolve this issue.
Solution: Change Storage Location
Step 1: Open the UC browser and go to settings, then click on download settings.
Step 2: Now, click on the default path and change the location.
One of the most prevalent concerns that numerous UC Browser users have noticed is with downloads, in which the downloads abruptly halt, and, while it can usually be continued, there are a few occasions when the download must be restarted from the beginning. Users are frustrated as a result of their excessive internet usage.
Solution: Disable Battery Optimization
Step 1: Go to Settings on your device. Then click on apps then go to the UC browser.
Step 2: Click on the battery saver.
Step 3: Now, change it to no restrictions.
Another typical issue is the UC Browser application on Android devices abruptly quitting. There have been a number of cases and reports of unexpected crashes, particularly among users who haven't upgraded the program to the most recent version.
Solution: Make Sure All The Required Permissions Are Enabled
Step 1: Go to your device settings apps, then the UC browser. Firstly click on clear data so as to clear the cache. Later, go to app permissions.
Step 2: Grant it camera, location, and storage permissions.
If there is no internet connection, a web browser is worthless because there is no access to anything that the browser no longer provides. From time to time, UC Browser may encounter network-related difficulties. Here's how to put an end to them for good.
Solution: Reset Network Settings
Firstly, restart your device, then try resetting your network settings.
Step 1: Search for a reset network in the settings.
Step 2: Then select the sim you are using while working on the UC browser.
In this article, we have outlined all the issues and solutions to help you fix common UC browser issues. If you have any other queries or suggestions let us know in the comment area

If there's one 'hood that encapsulates Vancouver, it's Kits. You have the beach, you have the aging hippies, you have the chockablock commerce of Broadway and of West 4th, and you have our most privileged citizens in their waterfront manses on Point Grey Road. The beauty of this neighbourhood is that it all works. Sure, parking's always a problem, and during fireworks nights the population swells beyond control, but day-to-day it's tough to beat wandering to Kits Pool for a morning swim, meandering through the farmers' market or having dinner at Nook before ending with a stroll at the beach.
While the Museum of Vancouver has called its Vanier Park location home since 1968, the collection itself dates back to 1894. With exhibits featuring some of Vancouver's 19,000 20th-century neon signs and new additions like Haida Now: A Visual Feast of Innovation and Tradition with 450-plus works of Haida art, the MOV is the place to learn everything about our fair city.
The 99 B-Line—the busiest bus route in North America—will finally get a breather when the Millennium Line Broadway extension becomes a reality, creating a quicker connection between Kits and the rest of the city. The project is years from completion, but the line, slated to terminate at Arbutus, will bring new people to Kits—and land assemblies are already in the works. A freshly proposed Arbutus Greenway also includes edible landscaping, long community tables for al fresco dining, flexible spaces for pop-up activities, public art, exercise equipment and more.
Hawking boards since the 1970s, this West 4th original is your hub for everything from skateboarding to surfing. Yes, they have the largest wall of snowboards in Vancouver, but this is also the spot for Roxy, Vans and RVCA shorts, bathing suits and sundresses.
This bright and modern dispensary is a non-profit that focuses on pain management. Membership isn't required for cannabis-infused bath bombs or other lotions and topicals, however cannabis flowers, edibles, etc. require ID and a $10 membership.
Established in 1988, Livingspace joined the neighbourhood in 2011 with its breathtaking showroom by designer Omer Arbel. Explore curated spaces and shop for high-end Minotti, Moooi and Ligne Roset furnishings—all beneath Arbel's own Bocci studio on the top floor.
Top Chef notable Trevor Bird packs 'em in with a concise seasonal menu that keeps it real on the price point: gnocchi gussied up with parmesan-crusted chicken in cashew-tomato sauce is a reasonable $22, and a lovely pan-seared ling cod is $25. While some entrees skirt the $30 mark, the place never feels pricey, just casual, jocular and relaxed. And the fairly priced wine list favours interesting over obscure.
Its quirky decor and homey vibe make it undeniably Kitsilano. Serving up humble, hits-the-spot vegetarian and vegan fare since 1968, the Naam is one of the establishments that helped West 4th earn the hippie moniker Rainbow Road. It's open 24/7, so dig into veggie burgers and dragon bowls at any hour.

Select Subtle Color. In place of choosing bold primary colors, select soothing color shades and a restful palate of homochromatic tones. Remember color schemes such as the soft hues of green, blue or lavender are believed serene. Jewel -toned rich shades plays an essential role in setting your mode and providing you with comfort and coziness.These often include topaz, toasty browns shades etc. Try employing a much toned down shade of your preferred color. This means use pumpkin rather than tangerine. Whether with a partner or not, we must look into our bedroom the main one area where we are obliged to please no-one but ourselves (the words indulgence and pampering spring to mind). It therefore makes common sense for the'best'bedroom space and use of dressing and bathroom facilities to be reserved for this purpose.
Maintain a simple bedroom. No matter what design of decoration you select, your bedroom must look sophisticated, elegant, cozy and simple.Leave at least a hole of three feet between the side walls or big furniture and the bed, thereby ensuring simple movement.Apart from this leave a minimum of two feet gap between the lower level furniture's e.g. tables and the bed. Try furnishing your bedroom only with what you require. Anything additional tends to provide a poor look. However you are able to place pieces of artwork like candles, family photos etc.
Select the right size furniture. Another important room ideas for decorating includes selecting the proper size of furniture. When you're willing to look for bedroom accessories, consider the floor plan and the measurement of the bedroom space. Furniture found should easily fit in the bedroom. Avoid selecting heavy and large dressers and beds for a tiny bedroom. On another accessories which are really small tend to have lost in a big bedroom. Gone were days past when people lived in houses with only white painted walls, regular bulbs, and marriage and family photos in standardized photo frames. The trend today is to have'live walls'that could talk for themselves. Every one having its own identity and narrating a unique story! Folks want to decorate their bedroom walls with theme styling that totally blends with their personality, lifestyle and fits the bill too!
Create an exclusive nook. Here's among my personal favorite bedroom decorating tips I prefer to talk about, and that's to create a quite place for yourself in your bedroom where you could sit and read quietly. Make a personal reading or lounging space by utilizing comfortable chairs and foot stool and placing them at the conclusion of the bed. Each someone to a unique, like they say! Today industry is flooded with tips to decorate your bedroom walls. Even if you are bad at interiors, the web may be your very best pal to accomplish mix and match and you can add your touch of creativity and personalize the bed room walls.
Buy luxurious linens. As interior decorating rule states, the utilization of beautiful fabrics may help outfit your bedroom. Linens tend to add comfort to the bedroom. Purchase sheets that are made out of 100% cotton with a thread count of around 350 or even more. Always send costly linens to the dry cleaner. They give services like professional washing and pressing at a fair rate. Thus the linen becomes crisp and smooth again. Bedroom Interior Design Ideas. In the event that you enjoy the feeling of being cocooned, bed drapes are for you. Whether emanating from the corona, half-tester or full tester, they offer a wonderfully secure, enclosed feeling and look extremely attractive in to the bargain. Always devote careful thought to the lining of any such bed treatment as that's what'll be usually seen by anyone lying in bed. An inferior repeat of the face area fabric pattern can create a very pleasing result, as can the usage of ticking fabric in a coordinating color.
Introduce various lighting option. It is highly recommended to layer your lighting in your bedroom. Ambient lighting often light the whole room. Small lamps to concentrate light for different activities like reading etc. Accent light supports washing the four walls in under soft illumination. Place the reading light at the bedside; within reach these lights should have adjustable dimmer. All you will have is a wide knowledge of colors and image of how your bedroom would look like. Dark colored walls would make the space look smaller and light colors would add more space to your room.

Zoo Knoxville has puppies, and visitors can view them for the first time this weekend.
Zoo Knoxville has new puppies, and visitors can view them for the first time this weekend.
Five endangered African painted dog puppies, who were born on Jan. 17, will make their public debut this weekend, according to a press release from Zoo Knoxville.
This group of five, three males and two females, is the first successful litter of African painted dogs born at Zoo Knoxville. They are the first offspring of father Puzzle and mother Swiss.
"The pups are playful, thriving and busy exploring their new home under the watchful eyes of mom and dad," the release said.
Puzzle came from the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, and Swiss came from the Cincinnati Zoo on the recommendation of the African Painted Dog Species Survival Plan (SSP), according to the press release.
"The SSP is a collaborative effort of zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), who are working to save the species from extinction by maintaining a healthy, genetically diverse population and through research, public education and field conservation projects," the release said.
African painted dogs are endangered, and only 6,600 are estimated to remain in the wild. They are declining in number due to fragmentation of their habitat, conflict with human activities and infectious disease, according to the release.
"The birth of these pups was a significant moment for our team here at Zoo Knoxville, who are dedicated to the conservation work they do to save African painted dogs," said Phil Colclough, director of Animal Care, Conservation and Education, in the release.
"It's a great milestone for us and the Species Survival Plan. Plus, I have to admit, these five pups are just a whole lot of fun to watch," said Colclough.
Around 130 painted dogs are housed in 34 accredited zoos in the United States, according to the release.

Yosi

A: You should be able to load it into Hive as is.
It's possible you may need to escape the "s. I haven't loaded JSON into hive, so not 100% if any escaping needs to be done.
To access the JSON elements once it is in hive; Hive has a built in function for doinh so. get_json_object, which can be seen in details at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF#LanguageManualUDF-getjsonobject

A: You can use a custom serde to read json files to hive tables. See the following serde on github -
https://github.com/rcongiu/Hive-JSON-Serde

A: Also checkout the brickhouse - https://github.com/klout/brickhouse.
They have quite decent UDF's for json (like json_split and json_map).
With brickhouse and get_json_object / json_tuple (also mentioned by Nija here) you can even avoid using custom SerDe's, like Hive-JSON-Serde.

Just how important are colors in terms of living of a child? An article by the Early Childhood Center–Indiana Institute on Disability and Community titled, How you can help children recognize color, reads, "When children recognize colors these are noticing, matching, sorting, and labeling the characteristics worldwide around them." This content goes on to say, "Recognizing colors can be a skill that is certainly often a hardship on children because it is required to be aware of color words, or even to know the abstract sign of color."  Colorful books are great for kids because they are not only among the many tools sold at our fingertips to help you kids the skill of color identification, but colorful drawings and photographs often capture their attention.
Older babies often become so fixated on bold and colorful drawings within books that typically, even if they are not snuggled on a dad or mom or caregiver, they'll make their way to the book and enjoy it . Also, as numerous adults have witnessed, they often times become so enamored which has a certain picture that they will fight the page being turned by sticking their chubby little hands in how. For that parent or guardian who takes time to read for their baby or toddler frequently, they might soon realize that their precious infant gravitates towards one book over the others. Today, quite a few parents can quote The Footbook, by Dr. Seuss, word after word, though the youngster or children have flown the coop. Why? Mainly because babies or toddlers they were utterly fascinated with all the green, yellow, red, orange, and blue characters.
Parents, guardians, and caregivers, who surround kids with fun colorful characters or pictures as depicted in story books (literature regardless of the sort for example), are helping inspire and foster a love of reading within them. And, finally, how fortunate we have been today because many authors who will be gifted in relation to pumping out new and interesting stories, often provide free downloadable pages for coloring on their own websites…which provides a chance for kids to incorporate their particular spin to new and beloved characters.


French scientists say that a painkiller as powerful as morphine, but without most of the side-effects, has been found in the deadly venom of the black mamba.
The predator, which uses neurotoxins to paralyze and kill small animals, is one of the fastest and most dangerous snakes in Africa.
However, tests on mice, reported in the journal Nature, showed its venom also contained a potent painkiller.
They admit to being completely baffled about why the mamba would produce it.
The researchers looked at venom from 50 species before they found the black mamba's pain-killing proteins – called mambalgins.
Morphine acts on the opioid pathway in the brain. It can cut pain, but it is also addictive and causes headaches, difficulty thinking, vomiting and muscle twitching. The researchers say mambalgins tackle pain through a completely different route, which should produce few side-effects.
He said the way pain worked was very similar in mice and people, so he hoped to develop painkillers that could be used in the clinic. Tests on human cells in the laboratory have also showed the mambalgins have similar chemical effects in people.
Dr. Eric Lingueglia said it was "really surprising" that black mamba venom would contain such a powerful painkiller.

Q: Items Common to Most Lists Given a list of lists (let's say 5 lists, to have a real number with which to work), I can find items that are common to all 5 lists with relative ease (see Intersection of multiple lists with IEnumerable.Intersect()) using a variation of the following code:
var list1 = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3 };
var list2 = new List<int>() { 2, 3, 4 };
var list3 = new List<int>() { 3, 4, 5 };
var listOfLists = new List<List<int>>() { list1, list2, list3 };
var intersection = listOfLists.Aggregate((previousList, nextList) => previousList.Intersect(nextList).ToList());

Now let's say that intersection ends up containing 0 items. It's quite possible that there are some objects that are common to 4/5 lists. How would I go about finding them in the most efficient way?
I know I could just run through all the combinations of 4 lists and save all the results, but that method doesn't scale very well (this will eventually have to be done on approx. 40 lists).
If no item is common to 4 lists, then the search would be repeated looking for items common to 3/5 lists, etc. Visually, this could be represented by lists of grid points and we're searching for the points that have the most overlap.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Maybe it would be better to look at each point and keep track of how many times it appears in each list, then create a list of the points with the highest occurrence?

A: You can select all numbers (points) from all lists, and group them by value. Then sort result by group size (i.e. lists count where point present) and select most common item:
var mostCommon = listOfLists.SelectMany(l => l)
                            .GroupBy(i => i)
                            .OrderByDescending(g => g.Count())
                            .Select(g => g.Key)
                            .First();
// outputs 3

Instead of taking only first item, you can take several top items by replacing First() with Take(N).

Returning items with number of lists (ordered by number of lists):
var mostCommonItems = from l in listOfLists
                      from i in l
                      group i by i into g
                      orderby g.Count() descending
                      select new {
                         Item = g.Key,
                         NumberOfLists = g.Count()
                      };

Usage (item is a strongly-typed anonymous object):
var topItem = mostCommonItems.First();
var item = topItem.Item;
var listsCount = topItem.NumberOfLists;

foreach(var item in mostCommonItems.Take(3))
    // iterate over top three items

A: You can first combine all the lists, then find the Mode of the list using a dictionary strategy as follows.  This makes it pretty fast:
/// <summary>
/// Gets the element that occurs most frequently in the collection.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="list"></param>
/// <returns>Returns the element that occurs most frequently in the collection.
/// If all elements occur an equal number of times, a random element in
/// the collection will be returned.</returns>
public static T Mode<T>(this IEnumerable<T> list)
{
    // Initialize the return value
    T mode = default(T);

    // Test for a null reference and an empty list
    if (list != null && list.Count() > 0)
    {
        // Store the number of occurences for each element
        Dictionary<T, int> counts = new Dictionary<T, int>();

        // Add one to the count for the occurence of a character
        foreach (T element in list)
        {
            if (counts.ContainsKey(element))
                counts[element]++;
            else
                counts.Add(element, 1);
        }

        // Loop through the counts of each element and find the
        // element that occurred most often
        int max = 0;

        foreach (KeyValuePair<T, int> count in counts)
        {
            if (count.Value > max)
            {
                // Update the mode
                mode = count.Key;
                max = count.Value;
            }
        }
    }

    return mode;
}

Number Of Schools In Ohio's Biggest Voucher Program Soars Under New Rules
By Karen Kasler
Published December 9, 2019 at 3:44 PM EST
A hallway is decorated with classroom projects at a public elementary school in Westerville.
Ohio's public schools could lose millions of dollars to private schools through an expansion of the state's biggest voucher program. New rules on criteria for the EdChoice program in the most recent budget have increased the number of school buildings considered "failing" by more than 400 percent.
Last year, 238 buildings were considered failing. That will be up to more than 1220 by the end of 2021, the second year of the budget. By then, 70 percent of the state's public school districts will have a building where students qualify for private school vouchers paid for with funds from public schools.
"This has ballooned into a list that really no one saw coming," said Ohio School Boards Association lobbyist Will Schwartz.
Schwartz said the expansion could add up to $65,000 per student from kindergarten through graduation. "Depending on the district and depending on how many students are eligible, they're looking at millions and millions of dollars that they're required to pay for this," he said.
And there's another new change, said Schwartz - some districts may end up paying vouchers for high school students who've never attended a public school.
"In some instances due to the budget's expansion for high school eligibility, many districts are not even being funded for certain students that attended private schools who they're now required to pay their non-public school tuition and they never set foot or even planned to step foot in their public school buildings," Schwartz said.
Schwartz is hoping lawmakers will consider changes, such as measuring performance for three consecutive years or requiring high school students to attend a public school for a year before applying for a voucher.

DeWine Suggests He's Open To Changing Grades For Ohio's School Report Cards
Top Ohio Lawmaker Suggests A "Redistribution" Of Wealth To Fund The State's Schools


We took the puppy and headed to West Wales for a bit. Oh how he loved it. Galloping across beaches, trying to decide whether or not he liked the sea, enjoying the feel of the wind in his tail and being with his pack all day every day. They were good times for a small dog. The boys discovered surfing which they absolutely loved.
We whizzed round entertaining them with this and that. Lovely, but I would have liked to sit around in the cottage we rented for a while. There was a table by the window in the kitchen that looked right out over a little river. Opposite there was a vegetable garden. I should have liked to sit there and write for a bit. Sometimes there's a different energy when you sit in a different chair.
I can see the attraction of a writing retreat. Although I would miss the children and the puppy. But imagine how many hours, how much I would get done. It's all pie in the sky of course, just something that floated across my mind. Really, I'm very happy zipping about in boats and climbing hills and watching surfing and trying to keep a grip of Bertie.
His scruffy, fluffy hair is growing like mad and his eyes are disappearing. He needs a trim, but it turns out that dog groomers are very sought after round here. I was tempted to try a quick snip myself this afternoon while he was dozing but I decided that he'd probably end up with just one done and look ridiculous. I'm adding it to the giant list of Things To Do Next Week, which officially doesn't start until Tuesday.
We got to grips with the garden today. Everyone pitched in, except the littlest boy who laid on the sofa and read a book. I pointed out that we might be getting more done because of it - no arguments over the cushiest jobs, no fights breaking out over trowels or the good secateurs. Anyway, I'm happy that some sort of order is being imposed. It was fairly horrible after a week away. I managed to stop the biggest boy pulling out the basil. 'Is this a weed?' with hand poised above it. He decided it smelled of pizza, which made me think I might make one tomorrow. I have homegrown onions, garlic, tomatoes and basil. All I need now is a cow.
He is impossibly cute, and a good time was had by all from the looks of things! Oh I do miss being beside the seaside, even though it's only ten minutes away, it's not the same as living across the road from a lovely beach.
I have a writers retreat, a summerhouse in the midst of the garden, but it's so lovely sitting in there, so peaceful, I end up meditating and daydreaming instead!
Hope the rest of your Bank Holiday weekend was as good.
A most enjoyable post and lovely pictures, I especially like the one of Bertie where just his nose and one paw-pad is visible apart from his hair. Good to see that you all enjoyed yourselves.
Love the seaside photos CJ. A bit of everything - foggy, sun, rocky beaches, boat filled harbors, plant filled hillsides - it all looks enchanting. Thanks for sharing.
What an adorable pup, and my how your boys have grown!
I encourage you to attend a writer's retreat, CJ. I went on a 3 day one last year at a monastery and am applying to go again this year. There is nothing like being able to wake and write without distraction, stroll ancient paths and ruminate about story lines, exercise or sleep between fits of productivity. Admittedly, I went without having a great story started--most of what I wrote on the retreat (though it seemed good at the time) will end up being discarded when I return to that story.
In the meantime, the retreat gave me a greater sense of my own writer's life, my determination to keep at it, and really helped ground me after so many years doing for the littles and Husband. I found that I slept a lot out of sheer exhaustion and a bit of overwhelm...all part of the process of getting my writer's legs I suppose! Best of all, our facilitator was so encouraging and had a great creative energy that was so inspiring. I learned so much from the other participants and the whole experience.
Bertie looks to be in his element. Have to echo the comment above about your human boys getting to be so big. Surfers now, too (hope Father Christmas hasn't noticed). Maybe you'll find a table and chair by a window closer to home to which you can regularly retreat. I discovered the reference library in town hits the writing spot.
Little Brown Dog just gets more adorable as he gets older. It is worth getting his name on the waiting list to get in to see the groomer. I made the mistake of waiting too long before taking Fergus to his first groomer's appointment when he was a puppy, and to this day he's petrified of going. I was told he would have been less afraid if he had been going from an earlier age. Lovely photos! It looks like you had a wonderful holiday in Wales.
What a great place to get away to, Clair! The furry baby seems quite natural for seaside romping. Your boys as well! Are you close to the coast?
I am trying so hard to remember a book I read about a woman who went to Upstate New York to an old cottage owned by her family in the middle of nowhere. She spent a year there working on her writing, but the actual subject of the book she wrote was about fending for herself, alone and on her own. I will look for it through old blog posts. It enlightened me and for so long I wanted to be that adventurous, independent woman. I'm still trying, and perhaps I've made some progress with my solitary stays at the lake cottage. Was very afraid and intimidated to be their on my own. This has been a summer of liberation and overcoming demons that never really existed.
I enjoy your pictures, you are very good!
"The boys discovered surfing which they absolutely loved." (!!) Please tell me more via email if you have a minute! I'd love to hear all about this! Your coastline is breathtaking. It reminds me a bit of the Pacific Northwest with its moody beauty.
Your trip looks wonderful, well minus no time to sit by the window and write.

Cambodia: Beauty Behind the Tourism
by Stowaway Magazine | Mar 15, 2017 | Field Notes, Tales From The Trip, Winter 2017 | 0 comments
When you think of the beautiful country of Cambodia, you may picture great and ancient temples, such as Angkor Wat and Baksei Chamkrong. You may picture the beautiful and glamorous hotels and city scenes. But, have you ever seen the culture and the history behind the tourism? Through the eyes of a native, you can get a glimpse of everyday Cambodian culture. Tep Sokhom, a young adult from Battambang province, now a resident of Phnom Penh, shares her experience and love for her native country.
Life in the Province
Before visiting the United States in 2014, Sokhom would travel to work as a card dealer in a casino in the neighboring country of Thailand. She now works as an assistant English teacher in an international school in Phnom Penh. Sokhom takes her red Honda Wave RSX motorcycle, which she calls a "moto," to work every day. She describes how dirty her mode of transportation is due to the muddy street puddles from the city's extremely rainy weather.
Because of the excess amount of rain, the house that Tep Sokhom was raised in was built on a structure that was lifted off the ground. All of her family members, as part of their nighttime ritual, would climb through their mosquito nets into bed to avoid being bitten during the night.
Young Sokhom grew up without a refrigerator in her home. She, along with many other Cambodian families, went to the market every morning to gather the necessary perishable foods for the day. To this day, to preserve cooked meats and other foods for the next day, Sokhom will usually coat them in sugar and other spices. She explains that she misses the fresh meat and produce found in the markets of her hometown.
Cambodian Cuisine
Rice farming has been a staple of Cambodian diets for generations. The industry significantly contributes to the Cambodian economy. Sokhom learned the process of planting rice in school and has described it as a "fun and hard" experience. She explains, "I'm not very good because it is so hard. But, yes, I know the process of planting rice." She would help the members of her church to plant rice, receiving valuable hands-on experience in the fields.
One of Sokhom's favorite dishes is fried crickets, an easy-to-prepare and inexpensive Cambodian delicacy. She describes the preparation simply: "How do I eat the crickets? Well, first I fry [them] until they're crunchy and look yummy and then I eat them," humorously adding, "I don't eat spiders, though." Sokhom explains that the crickets are gathered from the rice fields and sold at the local markets.
An Inspiring History
The food and lifestyle are not the only aspects that make Cambodia unique. As a native Cambodian, Sokhom carries the history of her people with her. Her parents lived through the Cambodian Civil War before Sokhom was born. Growing up hearing stories of events that occurred during those years has left a unique appreciation for her privileged life. Her mother would tell her about the physical labor that she had to endure during the war. Sokhom speaks of soup, mostly consisting of water and rice made in a large pot and fed to the workers.
Along with these hardships, Sokhom shares stories about how educated Cambodians were targeted and murdered during the war. The Civil War left the country destitute, but Cambodian communities have been slowly rebuilding since the war ended in the 1970s. Sokhom highly honors her mother and many other Cambodian citizens for their example of strength and stands proud of the recovery her country has made.
Sokhom has a great respect for her heritage. She explains that during the war, many Cambodian records were destroyed, leaving the people without family records or a firm knowledge of their genealogy. While devastated about this tragedy, she resiliently embraces the events of the past and always speaks positively and hopefully of her country. Sokhom continues to show her powerful example of strength and character to the people around her. She loves living in Cambodia and would not trade anything for her culture.

Purpose. Recently engineered Canadian Single (C-1) canoe hull designs have been found to produce less resistive drag than the traditional Delta design in tow tank test conditions. If these laboratory findings were found to be similar to on-water performance tests, then these new hull designs could give canoe sprint athletes a competitive advantage. However, these claims have not been independently confirmed nor has it been shown that these new designs result in improved performance under race conditions. Three C-1 hull designs (traditional Delta and the recently engineered Armageddon and Ergo-Starlight) were compared in order to detect differences in C-1 boat dynamics. Methods. The C-1 canoes were propelled by eleven national- and international-class paddlers who performed 350-m all-out trials from a dead start in each of the three crafts. One-way ANOVA compared differences in means for individual 50-meter segment and 350-meter performance times. Results. Performance times over the 350-meter race simulations were significantly faster (p = 0.038) among international-class paddlers with the Armageddon and Ergo-Starlight designs compared with the Delta. Conclusions. International level canoeists should expect improved performance times by choosing the Armageddon and Ergo-Starlight versus the Delta-designed C-1.

Nokia N810 Internet Tablet Reviewed
I introduced the N810 a while back with positive first impressions, and it's safe to say that those impressions have not changed much even though I find myself wanting a device that combines the strengths of both the N810 and N800 into one, affordable package.
Unfortunately, waiting for the next big thing gets you nowhere, and if you're itching for a gadget fix you can't go far wrong with the N810.
The N810 is a device known as an "Internet Tablet". It lacks any traditional telephony features although Skype support can facilitate free or cost effective calling where a WiFi network is available. The focus of the N810 is to provide a neat package of essential internet access applications whilst a WiFi network or Bluetooth/WiFi enabled mobile phone provides the data connection.
As such the N810 is a fantastic device both at home and when out and about, and if you simply don't own a laptop it becomes even more appealing as a device to use around the home.
And when I say "fantastic device" I actually do mean it. During the course of my testing so far I have found the N810 to absolutely demolish every internet related feature of my mobile phone (the HTC Kaiser) hands down. If the N810 didn't need a data enabled phone for internet away from WiFi networks I would sell my Kaiser now, get a more practical phone and pick up an N810; simple as that.
The 5-6 hour battery life when browsing is quite impressive and for several days I have managed to charge up in the morning and use the N810 until about 11pm before it dies; easily clocking up at least 5 hours of Wifi connected time. Attempting to do the same on my phone would leave it very warm and very dead after a couple of hours.
There are a few areas where the N810 does not shine; the GPS being one of them and the availability of Personal Information Management and Word Processing software being another. I will address these later in the review, right now I believe it would be prudent to first look into the N810s web browser.
Browsing The World-Wide-Web On The N810/N800
I have already mentioned that the N810 beats my phone hands down when it comes to internet-orientated software. The web browser is most likely the best example of this and I need not waste a thousand words telling you why when I can simply show you. Click on the image to the right to see a comparison between the Nokia N810/N800 and the HTC Kaiser.
Now it should be clear that the N810 is the better browser; I'm not pointing this out because this device competes with PDA-phones (it couldn't possibly), but rather because it can compliment them with a superior browsing experience.
Now I have shown you the beautiful web browsing capacity of the N810, allow me to elaborate upon it and give you an idea of what to expect.
Perhaps most interestingly of all the N810 browser supports Flash 9 and is based upon the Firefox 3 rendering engine. This means that most websites out there will look pixel-perfect identical to their desktop equivalents; even Youtube not only displays beautifully but allows you to watch, albeit somewhat stuttery, videos. Alongside the Flash 9 support comes support for Javascript and, with it, most "Web 2.0" sites such as Google Mail and Google Maps. There is a slight Achilles heel in this wealth of support, however, some javascript or flash intensive websites will slow the N810 down and certain sites can simply do this by overcoming the browser with advertisements.
Not all is lost though because the N810 browser supports plugins and amongst those plugins is AdBlock Pro. This is incredible for a mobile device and means you can simply install AdBlock Pro, subscribe to a generic list of filters and browse near ad-free with significantly enhanced speeds on some sites *cough*engadget*cough*
If you're an avid web mail user, entrust all of your communications to Google Mail and then find it a less than stellar experience on a PDA-Phone (regardless of whether you attempt to access it via IMAP or Internet Explorer) then you will be pleased to know that the N810 does a cracking job with Gmail (and most likely others, too); supporting everything from starring items to spell checking and displaying beautifully without even needing to switch the browser to full screen mode.
The only down side to the N810s impressive resolution comes when viewing sites with lots of tightly packed textual content, the font sizes can be small and necessitate zooming in for better readability. If you don't have a problem with small font sizes then this will not bother you, but the N810 doesn't deal well with zoomed in web pages. Gmail, for example, becomes almost unusable on the inbox screen and many sites will require panning once zoomed in to see text in its entirety.
Overall the browsing experience is better than that of any other device I've managed to stuff into a pocket, whilst it's fair to say it's still a notch down from heftier devices like the Eee PC the N810 also has a 5-6 hour battery life counting in its favour and, like a PDA, is instant-on with days of stand-by power unless you explicitly shut it down.
Chatting Online
Whilst we're still on the topic of internet centric applications I will dive right in and let you know how the N810 performs for chatting online.
The included chat application is called simply "Chat" and supports Google Talk, Jabber and SIP. It supports background operation so that you can stay online, either available or away, and receive messages without needing to have Chat open. Due to the somewhat limited scope of "Chat" I decided to give it a miss and opted instead for the free applications Pidgin Internet Messenger and XChat.
Pidgin supports a somewhat more impressive list of chat protocols; AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, GroupWise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, SIMPLE, XMPP, Yahoo and Zephr. I found IRC support lacking in customizability and set to a font that was slightly too large so I opted for the far superior and more flexible XChat which, when used with a bluetooth keyboard, is simply excellent.
The N810 has limited use as a serious gaming device due to the lack of face buttons, in order to play any classic emulated titles you must slide out the keyboard and attempt to use the 5-way navigator and keys as a method of control. The N800 doesn't even have keys and no face buttons on the right hand side at all. Suffice to say; if you're looking for something to run emulators other than SCUMMVM you would be far better off with a GP2X, and your wallet wouldn't feel as light either. The Nokia N810 does, however, have a booming development community who have worked to bring various emulators to the platform in addition to ports of linux games and even Numpty Physics; a game in the style of Crayon Physics, which any N810 should have installed, that challenges you to draw objects and structures which are immediately subject to the games physics engine. With these doodles your goal is to manipulate a red object indirectly and get it to collide with a yellow "goal". It's enormously addictive, entertaining, fun and free. Trust me!
Another brilliant and dangerously addictive little title is Hex-a-hop.
The N810 comes with a built-in GPS the use of which is questionable, this is part of the explanation for the huge price gap between the N810 and N800. That difference floats at somewhere around £120, money which would buy you a basic TomTom that will vastly outclass the N810 GPS and offer far more usability, reliability and functionality. I firmly maintain that built-in GPS is a non-feature that really doesn't have a place in an internet tablet. During my limited testing I was unable to even get the N810 to acquire a GPS signal in order to try out the included and fairly obscure GPS software. My phone, on the other hand, fixed in seconds and runs TomTom 6 to boot. If you're that interested in GPS as a feature you should already have a decent dedicated unit, don't look to the N810.
Out of the box the N810 supports Bluetooth DUN and Wifi, as an owner of a phone that uses Bluetooth PAN I thought all was lost until I found a nifty third party add-in that provides native PAN support. Once installed you wouldn't even know it's there and, surprisingly, it just works and maintains a stable and speedy connection.
The bread-and-butter connectivity for the N810 would be Wifi which, if you have decent hotspots available in your area, is quite reasonable. The N810 has extremely good Wifi performance and range for a device of its ilk and played nicely with WmWifiRouter on my phone. As I have mentioned above you can expect about 5 hours of up-time whilst connected to a Wifi network and using the N810.
Overall the N810 and N800 are both fantastic internet tablets that occupy an interesting niche that no self-respecting gadget-lover should be without a member of. The N8x0 series has a strong development community in its favour, but we're currently teetering on the edge of a massive flood of next generation internet tablets which may leave the N8x0 in the dust for power and functionality. Whether or not they get a development community that supports them to the extent that they're as interesting and fun as the N8x0 is a different matter altogether however although it's clear that the iPhone/iPod Touch has achieved this and more.
The N-series has moved on since the internet tablets, and includes beasts like the Nokia n8 and Nokia N900. Tablets themselves are becoming a larger form factor, ambient internet device with less focus on portability- it's sad to see the back of devices like the N810, which had a great size/functionality trade off, but the future holds far more exciting products.
Buy the N800 if you want a bargain-priced, fully featured and heavily community supported internet tablet today. Or start on that long wait for the best of the next generation and be prepared to find £300 to pay for it! Alternatively you can go for the Nokia N810 at £280 from Play.com

House action leads to chance at parole for man facing sentence of more than 2 centuries
Missouri House legislation has led to a man securing a parole from prison in the next year, about 69 years earlier than he expected.
Bobby Bostic
Bobby Bostic was sentenced to 241 years in prison after an armed robbery and carjacking in 1995. Bostic, who was 16 at the time, was tried as an adult and would not have been eligible for parole until 2091, when he would be 112.
A House amendment that became law this year as part of Senate Bill 26 makes eligible to apply for parole anyone sentenced to 15 years or more while a juvenile. The change gave Bostic a chance at a parole hearing after more than 20 years in prison. That hearing was completed recently and Bostic was granted parole. He will be released late next year.
Bostic's plight became an issue for the legislature in large part through the efforts of O'Fallon Republican Nick Schroer, who was glad to hear about the parole board's decision.
"I'm incredibly satisfied. These are the types of things that kind of justify us being in [the Capitol]. We saw that there was this terrible issue where this minor who committed crimes that did not result in anybody being physically harmed, did not result in anyone being murdered, he's locked away basically for the rest of his life and taxpayers are the ones paying for him to be there," said Schroer.
Schroer took up Bostic's case in 2019, and then last year with his support, Kansas City representative Mark Sharp (D) sponsored the amendment to Senate Bill 26 that led to Bostic getting a parole hearing.
"I'm just so happy, really on cloud nine that this decision came through the way it did. It just shows that we can have some positive impacts here in the legislature. Even if it only affects one person that's good enough for me. You hope it affects more and helps more people but this legislation did exactly what it was intended to do, and that was help Mr. Bobby Bostic."
Soon after hearing about Bostic's case, Schroer met with him at Jefferson City Correctional Center. He learned that while imprisoned Bostic has earned a GED, an associate's degree, has completed courses from Adams State University and Missouri State University, and completed more than 30 rehabilitation classes and programs. He has helped other inmates pursue their education, and has become a published author.

It was after that meeting that Schroer began pressing for Bostic to have a chance at parole.
"I was amazed at all of the things that he had done, the rehabilitation that took place with him within our criminal justice system and it was one of my tasks to ensure that he was either granted clemency by the governor or that we could get a coalition together, get some sort of legislative fix to this issue," said Schroer.
That began with a letter to Governor Mike Parson (R) asking him to take executive action on Bostic's case. More than 100 legislators in both parties and both chambers signed that letter.
Bostic was sentenced to 241 years in prison on a series of charges stemming from a 1995 incident in which he, then 16, and an 18 year-old robbed a group of people delivering Christmas presents to the needy. One victim was shot and sustained a minor wound. The pair then carjacked and robbed a woman.
None of the victims of Bostic's crimes opposed him being given a chance at parole. Some testified that he had little involvement in the crimes and that the 18 year-old was the instigator. While Bostic received more than two centuries in prison, the accomplice pleaded guilty in exchange for a 30-year sentence.
Retired Circuit Judge Evelyn Baker, who handed down Bostic's sentence, has become one of the most ardent supporters of his parole and represented him at the hearing.
Bostic is not expected to be released until late next year. Sharp said he will spend much of the time until then preparing to return to freedom after 20 years behind bars.

"Now the hard work really begins for Bobby Bostic. How do we get him back into civilization? How do we get him a job? How do we get him back on his feet? Just being released really isn't enough, so we have to make sure that he has all the tools so he can be successful upon his release," said Sharp.
Roughly 100 others in Missouri's prison system could have a chance at parole under the language that helped Bostic. Schroer said for those and others getting out of prison, there are people throughout the state who want to help them start over.
"If anybody is willing, and I know that there are several employers in St. Charles County and around the area that have taken an interest in [Bobby Bostic's] case and many others like him, who are hiring people fresh out of the criminal justice system that want to turn their lives around, so any of the readers that are grouped in there, that do have opportunities for people with a criminal record, I urge them to reach out to [lawmakers] so we can at least put them in contact with people like Bobby."
Other portions of Senate Bill 26 have led to a court challenge that could see everything in it struck down. Sharp and Schroer say they aren't sure what it would mean for Bostic's case should that happen, but say they will be watching developments and remain committed to helping Bostic get a chance at freedom.

House language will allow chance at parole for Bostic, others sentenced as juveniles to long terms
A House amendment that will give some juvenile offenders in Missouri a chance at parole will become effective later this month. The provision was driven by the case of a man sentenced to 241 years in prison when he was 16.
The amendment was signed into law as part of Senate Bill 26. It would make anyone sentenced while a juvenile eligible for parole after serving 15 years of any sentence. It doesn't apply to convictions for first-degree or capital murder.
Representative Mark Sharp (D-Kansas City) sponsored the amendment, which he stresses does not automatically grant freedom to any offender.
"Ultimately it falls into the hands of the Parole Board. It's up to their discretion. Every juvenile that's in the system currently has a different criteria they have to meet obviously. I think it's our duty to trust the Parole Board to do their job, and if anybody can be rehabilitated I do believe that we should put that faith into our youth. I trust them far more than someone else to be rehabilitated in the correctional facilities," said Sharp.

Sharp and numerous other lawmakers in both parties think Bobby Bostic has been rehabilitated. In 1995, Bostic and an accomplice robbed a group of people delivering Christmas presents to the needy. He shot one victim, who sustained a minor wound. The pair then carjacked and robbed a woman. He was sentenced for 18 crimes and would not be eligible for parole until the age of 112.
None of the victims of Bostic's crimes oppose him being given a chance at parole. The judge who sentenced him said that sentence was disproportionately harsh, and she favors giving him a chance at freedom.
O'Fallon Republican representative Nick Schroer has been among the leaders of the effort to help Bostic. He and others say that is because Bostic has clearly reformed.

"He's done so much while he's been behind bars," said Schroer. "Getting rehabilitated to the point of taking it upon himself paying for different college classes, getting several different degrees, writing many books, and trying to work with communities in need within our state so juveniles that might have been on the same path he was won't make that same decision … I believe that is what we can all agree our criminal justice system is there for."
Sharp said it felt meaningful to pass this legislation, especially knowing that there are more than 100 more people in Missouri's correctional facilities in similar situations.
"This provision just allows them to be eligible for parole, and I think that for a lot of these folks including Mr. Bobby Bostic, just being eligible will go a long way," said Sharp.
The language becomes effective on August 28.

VIDEO: Legislation would give chance at parole to man serving 241 years in prison and others like him
An effort by state legislators to give a chance at parole to a man sentenced to 241 years in prison has led to a broader effort to offer parole to all Missouri inmates facing similar situations.

Bobby Bostic committed a series of crimes in 1995 when he was 16 and was given a series of consecutive sentences. A 2010 Supreme Court ruling that people under 18 who did not kill anyone could not be sentenced to life without parole doesn't apply to him because he was not sentenced to life. He would not be eligible for parole until the age of 112. All judicial avenues to offer Bostic an earlier release have been exhausted.
Last year more than 100 state lawmakers signed a letter to Governor Mike Parson (R) asking him to consider Bostic's petition for clemency. They joined those victimized in Bostic's crimes and the judge who sentenced him in saying Bostic has reformed himself, and deserves a chance at parole.
O'Fallon representative Nick Schroer (R) has worked to bring attention to Bostic's situation and has led the effort to drum up support. He said he knows that the Parson administration is sifting through thousands of clemency requests. While that process continues, he has filed House Bill 2201, which aims to give people sentenced to long terms and life as a juvenile a chance at parole.
"2201 fixes the technicality that prevents Bobby and others like him in this situation the ability to obtain the relief that the Supreme Court envisioned [in that 2010 ruling]," said Schroer.
Kansas City representative Barbara Washington (D) has also spearheaded this effort and is a cosponsor of HB 2201. She said it could help others besides Bostic.
"We must think about what we're doing with our juveniles. We must understand that a 16 year-old who grew up in Bobby's situation; who didn't have anyone to look up to, who didn't have a community that made sure he went to school, didn't have a mentor to make sure that he got a job, who didn't have teachers who looked at him as a good kid that was going down the wrong road. It is important and imperative that we pass House Bill 2201 so that we make sure that no other juveniles suffer this fate," said Washington.
Judge Evelyn Baker handed Bobby his 241-year sentence and now wants to see him given a chance at freedom.
"He's written books, he writes poetry, he is trying to help as many people as he can in a confined environment. He can do so much more to help others if we let him out. I think justice cries for him to be released," said Judge Baker. "We talk about rehabilitation. He is the epitome of a rehabilitated child who became a man in the true sense of the word 'man.'"
Schroer said he does not know how many other people in situations like Bostic's are in Missouri prisons and might benefit from passage of this bill, but he does believe there are others.
"This one case is the tip of the spear, so to speak, where we now see there are these technical issues and other issues preventing people from getting the relief when they are fully rehabilitated, so I think that we need to go forward with House Bill 2201," said Schroer.
He said from the standpoint of being fiscally conservative, the more people who have been rehabilitated and therefore can be released from Missouri prisons, the better for the state and its economy.
"We are wasting more money locking people up that could be contributing to society as solid Missourians once again," said Schroer.
Schroer is hopeful his bill will be assigned to a committee and receive a hearing soon.

A judge who sentenced a man to more than two centuries in prison now says that man deserves to be freed. Judge Evelyn Baker is joined by numerous House members and others lobbying for clemency for Bobby Bostic.

"I will talk to anybody and everyone who is in a position to help undo an injustice," said Judge Baker.
Baker sentenced Bostic to 241 years in prison after a string of crimes in 1995. Now 40, Bostic would not be eligible for parole until the age of 112.
"We had that whole concept of the violent predator juveniles. What we didn't have was the knowledge from science in terms of brain development in adolescents," said Baker of when she sentenced Bostic. "The law said he is a certified juvenile, therefore can be treated as an adult. Bobby was far from being an adult. He was a 16-year-old kid and I treated him as if he were a hardened adult criminal. I know now that was wrong."
Judge Baker traveled this week to Jefferson City to meet with Representative Nick Schroer (R-O'Fallon), who earlier this year began gathering lawmakers' signatures on a letter asking Governor Mike Parson (R) to grant clemency to Bostic. About 50 legislators have signed that letter and Schroer said more have committed to, but he put the effort on hold while the clemency process is advancing.
Bostic was 16 in 1995 when he and an accomplice robbed a group of people delivering Christmas presents to the needy. He shot one victim who sustained a minor wound. The pair then carjacked and robbed a woman.
Baker said Bostic has turned his life around in prison. He obtained his G.E.D. and a paralegal diploma, took a victim advocate course, and completed a course in non-profit management and grantsmanship. He's written four non-fiction books and 8 books of poetry.
Bobby Bostic has told Judge Baker and Rep. Schroer there are others in prison who deserve to have clemency considered.
"He's turned into a responsible young man who accepts full responsibility for his actions. He doesn't minimize what happened. He doesn't excuse what happened," said Baker. "My experience as a judge has always been that people who accept full responsibility, make no excuses for their actions, express true remorse … don't come back into the system again, and that's Bobby."
Schroer and Baker both believe that being sent to prison was actually a benefit to Bostic, who himself told the judge he expected to be dead in his early 20s.
"God is working miracles. It if wasn't for the judge cracking down and being as hard as she was on Bobby, it wouldn't have probably opened his eyes to create the man that he is today," said Schroer. "If she would've been soft on him he might've been back out on the street to commit more crimes and actually become a more hardened criminal."
Schroer has talked to the governor and First Lady Teresa Parson about Bostic's case and said they are both receptive. He also hopes that in this effort to see Bostic be granted clemency, it will open doors for others in Missouri's prisons who have similar arguments to be made.
"Bobby's not the only Bobby. There are Bobbys and Bobbetts not only in the Missouri Department of Corrections but all throughout this country," said Baker.

Schroer said he learned that the governor's office has a stack of clemency requests that date back to the administration of Governor Bob Holden (D), who left the office in 2005. He hopes to see those examined.
"The Parson administration has indicated that they were taking a fresh look at all of those petitions and I know that they are still doing it right now … but whether we need to form a task force or a committee to help expedite that process, I'm wide open to forming something like that," said Schroer.
"My time up here is to serve the people of Missouri, and what better way to serve the people than look at their pocketbooks, look where the money's going, and look at the people that have actually been placed under the control of the state to see how we can actually get them out [to] become a productive member of society," said Schroer.
Judge Baker said she has corresponded with Bostic regularly and she plans to meet with him in prison.
Schroer said it could be a couple of months before he submits legislators' signatures with the letter urging Governor Parson to grant clemency to Bostic, while other parts of that effort move forward.

A growing body of Missouri legislators wants to ask Governor Mike Parson (R) to act on behalf of a man in state prison with a sentence that they feel far exceeds his crimes.

Bobby Bostic is serving a sentence of 241 years in prison. Now 40, he would be eligible for parole at the age of 112. Appeals filed on his behalf have been denied, even one on the grounds that the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that people under 18 who didn't kill anyone couldn't be sentenced to life without parole. That didn't apply to Bostic because he wasn't sentenced to life; he was sentenced for 18 crimes.
Bostic was 16 in 1995 when he and an 18-year-old accomplice robbed a group of people delivering Christmas presents for the needy. Each man shot a victim, leaving one slightly injured. The pair carjacked another woman and put a gun to her head. The accomplice robbed and groped her before she was let go.
"When you look at the cases from around that time – the late '90s – there are murderers that are already back out on our streets that were sent [to prison]," said Representative Nick Schroer.
Schroer, an O'Fallon Republican, says he happened upon the case when someone posted an old story about Bostic on Twitter. He sent Bostic a letter and the two began talking, and shortly thereafter Schroer and other representatives met with Bostic at the Jefferson City Correctional Center. It was then that Schroer decided he wanted to see the man given a chance at freedom.

"I think he should do time for the mistakes that he made and the choices that he's made, but to put him there on a taxpayer dime for 241 years I think is unjust," said Schroer.
One of the lawmakers that joined Schroer in that visit to JCCC is Representative Barbara Washington (D-Kansas City). She came to the same conclusion – that the sentence was too harsh. She and Schroer agreed to work with their respective parties to get as many lawmakers as possible to sign a letter to Governor Parson asking for clemency for Bostic.
"That's all he has. That's the only thing he has. The Supreme Court did deny his brief. They denied to hear the case on the U.S. Supreme Court level. I believe he's had some appeals that have been denied on the state court level, and so at this point this is the only opportunity that this young man has had," said Washington. "He's lost his whole life for 24 years. Had he not been tried in adult court he probably would've been out at 25."
Schroer and Washington say Bostic has worked to better himself during his time in prison.
"I'm not saying he's a model prisoner – I don't know his whole record – but what I do know is that he's tried to take advantage of the opportunities that you can take in prison," said Washington. "He didn't even have a high school diploma or GED when he went in. He has received a GED and he's soon to be completing his associate degree."
Representative Barbara Washington (photo; Tim Bommel, Missouri House Communications)
Schroer said Bostic's efforts to get an education show he's on the right path, and said some of his actions on the night of his crimes showed at least some of his thoughts were on the right path.
"The female victim indicated that while Bobby was driving, the 18-year-old, while he was trying to find her money, groped her and then threatened to rape her, but it was the 16-year-old Bobby Bostic … that stopped any rape from occurring and got her out of the car," said Schroer.
"It's interesting to note," Washington adds, "that he was 16, his co-defendant was 18, and his co-defendant will be up for parole next year."
The judge who handed Bostic his sentence has said publicly that she now regrets, "deeply," that decision, and wants to meet with Bostic. Schroer believes something another judge – Missouri's Supreme Court Chief Justice Zel Fischer – said in his State of the Judiciary Address this week also applies.
"He indicated that we should be using our prisons to house the most serious – the criminals that we, as a society, are afraid of, not the ones that we're mad at," said Schroer. "I think listening to our chief justice it's time that we give this man a second chance."
By Thursday afternoon around 15 lawmakers had signed on to the letter started by Representatives Schroer and Washington – lawmakers from both parties and from both the House and Senate, with more having agreed to sign it.

Clouds are forming over the dry plains of the Serengeti and the dinner bell is about to ring for the big cats of Ndutu. The wet season will attract more than a million wildebeest and thousands of zebras, but getting to them is never easy. The area is diverse, not just in prey, but terrain, and each battle zone comes with its own challenges, including steep inclines, maddening mud, and total exposure. See how a pride of lions and two cheetah families tailor their hunt to the landscape and use it to their deadly advantage.
