Update 12/5- Amex confirmed that CLT will be getting a Centurion Lounge but in 2020. Other exciting news is that LHR will also be one of the next recipients of one.
The American Airlines fortress hub at Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) could see a new American Express Centurion Lounge in fall 2019. Per the agenda for the Charlotte City Countil Meeting on Monday 11/26/2018, they will be voting to approve a lease to American Express for a potential 13,000 sq ft space on an upper level between Concourse D and E. Per the meeting agenda the lounge would open in the Fall of 2019.
This is potentially great news which would add a thirteenth Centurion Lounge to the ever expanding network which in addition to the current nine locations includes new lounges planned at DEN, JFK and LAX.
Personally this potential development is fantastic news as my local regional airport, ERI, recently announced plans to change AA service from PHL to CLT starting in May 2019. The loss of a Centurion Lounge at a connection point was one big downside.

Q: NSNumber floatValue not equal to NSNumber value First post here. Having a problem with NSNumber's floatValue method -- somehow, it returns an imprecise number.  Here's the problem:  I store a bunch of NSNumbers in an array, like this:
NSArray *a = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
    [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.04f],
    [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.028f],
    [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.016f],
    [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.004f],
   nil];

Then I try to retrieve the first value (for example):
NSNumber n = (NSNumber) [a objectAtIndex:0];
CGFloat f = [n floatValue];
In the debugger, n shows a value of 0.04 (in the summary column), but f shows a value of 0.0399999991.  What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks everyone.

A: You're not doing anything wrong. That's not a problem specifically of NSNumber or CGFloat, either. It's something very universal about the floating point numbers, which is based on powers of 2, not powers of ten. You should read this definitive article or Wikipedia article.
The point is, the standard floating point numbers can only accurately represent a number which is a sum of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, ... .
1/10 is not. So you can't completely accurately represent 0.1 using standard floating point numbers.
If you really do need to deal with it, there are routines which deal with rational fractions or decimal floating point numbers.

This marks the second installment of my wildly successful "Boasts & Pot Roasts" franchise piece. And by 'wildly successful,' I mean my husband has read it—at least that's what he swore to me when I relentlessly interrogated him on an unusually hot June day. For those of you who are just catching on to this cultural phenomenon, allow me to direct you to the first post in which I described my "Boasts" as the things I'm proud to say I read, saw, experienced or heard. Sometimes they are newly released, but they can also be classic hidden gems worth a second look. My "Pot Roasts," on the other hand, are books, TV, movies, music etc. that have received a whole lot of hype but to my estimation fall flat. Think Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty's "Ishtar." For those of you under the age of 40, how about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez in "Gigli"? You get the drift. Now on to my list.
Remember when you were an insecure teenager/ young adult and a new song came out that no one else had heard of? You made sure everyone was keenly aware that you were in-the-know about that super cool, very underground tune, while everyone else was tragically and pathetically in-the-dark. Your cool factor would go up a few points that day as you revealed this well-kept secret that was on the verge of going mainstream but definitely hadn't yet. All of you shaking your head and thinking, "Nope, not me," you must have been in that elite group that was simply too cool to care. Wipe that smug smile off your face! The rest of us sorry souls, who were squarely in the not-so-popular plebeian crowd, we cared A LOT. Despite my braces and acne, I wanted to share with the world the things that I thought were going to GO BIG. And I most certainly wanted credit for those prescient recommendations.

I love to sit down at my workbench and connect with the past by using ancient metalsmithing techniques to create modern adornments. That is the wonderful thing about the art of adornment: it has a certain permanence, a link between the past and the future.
I am inspired by the emotional and social connections that people have to jewelry. Jewelry is often a cherished gift from a loved one or a treasure that accompanies us on life's journeys. I create every piece with those relationships in mind, and the hope that my work will be handed down and enjoyed for years to come.
My work seeks to echo the wild spirit of nature and the careful balance between its fragility and resilience.

Q: Ejabberd module with child process I created a logging module which logs messages to a mysql db, the current code is located here:
https://github.com/amiadogroup/mod_log_chat_mysql5/blob/master/src/mod_log_chat_mysql5.erl
The Problem with the current code is, that sometimes the connection gets closed and as a result, the module doesn't work anymore.
As you see in the code, I store the DBRef in an ets table, which is not really the good way to go.
I asked the erlang mailinglist about this and they suggested me to do the DB Connection as an own child process of the module. This would enable the module to gracefully restart the connection upon closing of the connection.
Now my question is: how can I implement this child process with gen_server and/or gen_mod?
Do I need to create two files or can I do it within the same file?
Is there any example somewhere on how I could achieve that?
Edit: As you can see in the linked github repo, I updated the code and it works now, weeha!
Looking at the mod_Archive code helped me a lot, although I didn't decide to upgrade my ejabberd version.
I ran into another, but related problem now. In the code you see that I do an initial query with "SET NAMES UTF8" to prevent garbling of messages. It seems that this isn't done again if the gen_server does a reconnect. Is there any hook I can call upon reconnect so that the UTF8 query is done everytime?
Edit#2:
Now I switched to Emysql (https://github.com/Eonblast/Emysql) and it works out of the box by specifying the encoding directly on connect.
Code is on github.
Thanks for your help,
Michael

A: I suggest you look into general Erlang/OTP principles (gen_server, supervisor, etc).
ejabberd is relying on this standard Erlang architecture pattern.
Regarding your comment on database, ejabberd has its own way on managing database and passing queries to MySQL for example. You should as well look into it.

A: In your source code you are only applying the gen_mod behaviour, if you do wish to have a gen_server you can do it in the same module, if you define the gen_server behaviour has well.
A good example would be the ejabberd module mod_archive, which implements both behaviours.

Edit: I never really worked "directly" with mysql on erlang. But through the ejabberd methods I find it pretty "easy"(you will have to make a few setup, but rather easy). You have the method
ejabberd_odbc:sql_query_t(Query)

And has an example you can find it on the module mod_archive_odbc.
To use that method(and the last module) I haved downloaded the mysql native driver and put the beams created from the driver in ejabberd ebin dir (you can put it anywhere has long is on the erlang path).
A a soft link to the ejabberd ebin is my favorite:
ln -s <diryouhavethedriver>/ebin/*.beam /usr/lib/ejabberd/ebin/

and do a few configurations on you ejabberd.cfg. This process is described on this page on process one. Notice that the full steps are to make mysql the full database of ejabberd. You may not want that, so you must jump a few steps.
Hope this help.

Pablo Ricardo Ferreyra (Avellaneda, provincia de Buenos Aires, 7 de septiembre de 1979), es un fotógrafo, militante y político argentino. Es hermano de Mariano Ferreyra, militante del Partido Obrero que fue asesinado a fines de 2010 a manos de una patota armada de afiliados al sindicato Unión Ferroviaria. Por este crimen, ocurrido en las inmediaciones del Puente Bosch, en Avellaneda, fue condenado a quince años de prisión el exdirigente sindical José Ángel Pedraza. Tras este hecho cobró notoriedad mediática y política. Es legislador de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires tras lograr ingresar a través del frente electoral Alternativa Popular, y se suma en 2015 al Bloque del Frente Para la Victoria.

Trayectoria

Es hijo de un empleado de comercio y una docente, entre 1999 y 2004 fue militante del Partido Obrero e integrante del centro de estudiantes de la Casa de la Cultura de Avellaneda mientras estudiaba fotografía. Durante su paso por el PO, acercó a su hermano, Mariano Ferreyra, a la militancia. Tras el asesinato de Mariano, Pablo se convirtió en querellante (junto al PO) en la causa por el crimen; por el activo rol que jugó, fue integrado a la asamblea del Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales (CELS). Desde entonces, también acentuó su militancia por la causa de los trabajadores en situación precaria, por la defensa de los Derechos Humanos y por la democratización de los sindicatos. En su labor parlamentaria, además, trabajó por la ampliación de los derechos de la mujer y del colectivo LGTBIQ.Pese a que el CELS y Pablo Ferreyra habían pedido cadena perpetua a José Ángel Pedraza por el crimen de Mariano Ferreyra, el 19 de abril de 2013 el Tribunal Oral en lo Criminal N°. 21 dictó sentencia de quince años de prisión para el exdirigente sindical y para su acólito Juan Carlos «Gallego» Fernández, encontrándolos a ambos «penalmente responsables» del delito de homicidio en concurso ideal, con el delito de homicidio en grado de tentativa en calidad de partícipes necesarios. A partir de esta sentencia judicial, en un juicio que había tenido inicio el 6 de agosto de 2012, Pablo Ferreyra declaró que el crimen de su hermano debía interpelar a todos los jóvenes, que la condena debía ser un ejemplo para la militancia y que no habría más mafias que impidieran su lucha por los derechos.
Estuvo presente en la Masacre de Avellaneda, episodio de represión policial que tuvo lugar en 2002 durante la presidencia de Eduardo Duhalde y que resultó en la muerte de los militantes Maximiliano Kosteki y Darío Santillán, aunque logró escapar ileso de la persecución corriendo desde el puente hacia Plaza Alsina, donde logró comunicarse con su familia y avisar que se encontraba a salvo.

A mediados de 2013, fue autor del proyecto para la creación del Observatorio de Violencia Institucional en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, con el objetivo de prevenir, perseguir y erradicar todas aquellas prácticas vinculadas con el abuso de poder y el maltrato institucional en ámbito porteño, sobre todo en hospitales públicos y en el accionar de la policía. El disparador para la creación del Observatorio había sido la feroz represión llevada a cabo en las instalaciones del Hospital Borda, episodio en el que pacientes, médicos, periodistas y militantes sociales fueron agredidos por agentes de la Policía Metropolitana en un intento de desalojo impulsado por el Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires durante la gestión del Jefe de Gobierno Mauricio Macri.

Adhesión al kirchnerismo
Declaró su apoyo al gobierno de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, sin caer por ello en la polarización entre kirchnerismo y oposición. Reconoció al kirchnerismo como el único movimiento popular que tiene la capacidad de dialogar y, más allá de las limitaciones y de sus cuestionamientos hacia el Partido Justicialista (PJ), opinó que el peronismo es un movimiento de profundas raíces en la Argentina y que tiene raigambres en el pueblo, en el movimiento obrero. En su opinión, es necesaria una mirada desde la izquierda, pero desde la izquierda nacional, que nunca dejó de dialogar con el peronismo, evitando hacer una lectura gorila de la realidad. Finalmente, consideró que en el kirchnerismo «siempre pudo expresar sus diferencias», algo que no ocurre en la izquierda respecto de sus posiciones políticas.

Si bien afirmó no representar al kirchnerismo puro, pues no proviene de allí, reivindica la figura de Néstor Kirchner y considera que éste significó una ruptura con lo sucedido en el 2001 y el darle visibilidad a los jóvenes. Para Ferreyra, Néstor «nos volvió a mostrar que la política es la herramienta por excelencia para conquistar los derechos».

Candidato a legislador

El 7 de septiembre de 2013, fue oficializado como primer candidato a legislador por la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, en la lista del frente electoral Alternativa Popular (AP), una coalición compuesta por jóvenes de organizaciones territoriales, sindicales, estudiantiles y militantes por los Derechos Humanos y por la igualdad de género. Completaron esta lista de AP la legisladora del Frente Progresista Popular María Elena Naddeo, la militante del Partido Comunista Zaida Chmaruk, el filósofo e investigador Samuel Cabanchik y la periodista deportiva de Fútbol para todos y también militante del Partido Comunista Ángela Lerena, entre otros nombres.

La expectativa de AP con el lanzamiento de esta lista era intervenir en un escenario político polarizado por los bloques kirchnerista y el opositor, mostrándose como una novedad de alto impacto político y una verdadera alternativa. La fuerza consideró que la Ciudad de Buenos Aires funcionaba como un «laboratorio de la nueva derecha argentina» y que, por lo tanto, era importante el lanzamiento de una lista de izquierda en el distrito. A nivel nacional, Pablo Ferreyra y los candidatos que lo acompañan apoyaron al kirchnerismo, resaltando medidas de gestión como la estatización de YPF, la implementación de la Asignación Universal por Hijo (AUH), la realización de los juicios por los crímenes de lesa humanidad cometidos durante la dictadura cívico-militar (1976/1983), las leyes de identidad de género y de Servicios de Comunicación Audiovisual, formulando por otra parte críticas a la economía, a la explotación de los recursos naturales y a la existencia de trabajo precario.Finalmente, la lista de Alternativa Popular (AP) respaldó a nivel nacional a los candidato a senador y a diputado nacional del Frente para la Victoria, formándose como un espacio de izquierda para defender en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires las conquistas de los diez años de kirchnerismo a nivel nacional. Pablo Ferreyra adelantó que Alternativa Popular trataría como prioritarios los problemas de acceso a la vivienda, con el otorgamiento de créditos inmobiliarios, la regulación de los alquileres y la urbanización de las llamadas villas miseria, además de la problemática del transporte público, con la creación de un plan integral de movilidad.

Legislador en la ciudad de Buenos Aires
Para la Legislatura porteña, Alternativa Popular aseguró el ingreso de Pablo Ferreyra. El 10 de diciembre de 2013 asumió como legislador. Si bien en un primer momento su participación se dio desde un monobloque, a principios de 2016 se sumó al Bloque Frente Para la Victoria. Desde allí movilizó una agenda que tuvo como principales ejes de trabajo la ampliación de los derechos de la mujer y del colectivo LGTBIQ, la defensa de la cultura popular de la Ciudad, la lucha contra la violencia institucional, y el respeto de los Derechos Humanos.Durante su mandato, se promulgó la ley que impulsara contra el Acoso Callejero, que permitió que por primera vez en la Argentina fuera reconocido desde el Estado como una forma de violencia contra la mujer esta práctica tan extendida. De la mano de esta propuesta, participó en la creación del Observatorio contra el Acoso, del cual es director. Este organismo de la sociedad civil sin fines de lucro trabaja en pos de la erradicación de toda forma de acoso.
Otra de las leyes que impulsó en la Legislatura porteña fue la defensa y promoción de los Centros Culturales, que durante la gestión del macrismo han sufrido sistemáticas clausuras y tarifazos en los servicios públicos que pusieron en jaque su funcionamiento. Durante su mandato, promovió numerosos proyectos que apoyaron diversas propuestas culturales porteñas, lo que significó un fundamental impulso para las prácticas culturales alternativas en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

Además, fue autor de la Ley por la cual se denominó Carlos Jáuregui a una Estación de Subterráneos en la Ciudad, siendo la primera vez que se utilizaba para tal fin al nombre de un activista por los derechos de la comunidad LGTBIQ. Jáuregui, figura destacada en la reivindicación de la diversidad sexual, fue el primer presidente de la Comunidad Homosexual Argentina, lideró la agrupación Gays por los Derechos Civiles, encabezó la Primera Marcha del Orgullo Gay Lésbico en Buenos Aires en 1992, ayudó a impulsar el primer proyecto de unión civil y logró la inclusión en el artículo 11 de la Constitución de la Ciudad del Derecho a Ser Diferente. Falleció el 20 de agosto de 1996, fecha que pasó a ser recordada como Día del Activismo por la Diversidad Sexual.

Desde la Comisión Especial de Seguimiento y Prevención de Violencia Institucional, ejerció el control de las políticas seguritarias en el ámbito de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, siendo uno de los pocos espacios donde se pudo denunciar el accionar ilegal de las fuerzas de seguridad. Por allí desfilaron numerosos familiares y víctimas de violencia institucional, como un primer espacio de visibilización de los casos y acompañamiento en la búsqueda de justicia.

We invite EVERYONE to try out the sleds of this fantastic sport. No impairment necessary, just come out and try! Through the process of our Learn to Skates, our goal is to have one youth team and one adult team by October 2016!
Sled hockey is a sit-down version of ice hockey for players whose disability prevents them from playing stand-up hockey. The difference is equipment. Sled hockey players use sleds that are usually made of light-gauge aluminum, consisting of a customized bucket to sit in. A frame supports the bucket, legs and feet, and is mounted on two skate blades attached under the bucket. Straps keep the player secure in the sled. Instead of one hockey stick, players use two for propulsion, passing and shooting.

When you run out of things to wear or you simply want to switch things up, why don't you check out the men's section? That's what I did! My top, cap and belt are all for men. The first 2–I got while shopping at Topman. The belt, on the other hand, I stole from my brother. Har har! He'll never know. He doesn't read my blog anyway. Pfft!
Sometimes, you really have to pay the men's section a visit. You'll never know what you'll find! By the way, speaking of men, who wants to watch a musical about them? My sister and her friends recently bought one night of the hit musical, The Full Monty. They're selling tickets for the April 20 show which is one day before my birthday. *cough*cough* If you enjoyed Magic Mike, then maybe you'll enjoy this. Hint: Male strippers!
The Full Monty is a musical with a book written by Terrence McNally and music & lyrics by David Yazbek. You might've already seen the movie version of this way way back in the 90s. It's extremely popular especially in the UK and enjoyed both critical and commercial success. The Full Monty is about 6 unemployed male steelworkers based in Buffalo, New York, who upon seeing how much their wives enjoy watching male strippers during their "Girls' Night Out," decided to make some quick cash by becoming male strippers themselves. Now before you go on thinking that this is some dirty dirty dirty musical, it's really not. (Oops! Did I shatter your Magic Mike dreams? Haha!) It's actually a heartwarming and charmingly funny musical that focuses on the characters finding their renewed self-esteem and realizing the importance of friendship and the ability to have fun. You'll see the guys work through their fears, self-consciousness, feelings of worthlessness and anxieties over everything from being overweight to child custody, bigotry to being gay, and how they'll come to discover that not only are they stronger as a group, but that the strength they find in each other gives them the individual courage to face their demons and overcome them. Of course, if you're not interested in these, then just focus on the part where I mentioned that there are male strippers. LOL!
The Full Monty stars Mark Bautista, OJ Mariano, Arnel Ignacio, Jamie Wilson, Nino Alejandro, Marco Sison, Sitti and Ciara Sotto. You can find ticket info here and contact my sister and her team at +639204602761 or fullmonty.apr20night@gmail.com to purchase tickets.

Update: TYLT reached out to us to say that they are NOT currently running a 50% off promo. In other words, the code we originally posted shouldn't be working. And don't bug their customer service trying to get it to.
On Cyber Monday, we tipped you to a deal through accessory manufacturer TYLT that would save you 50% off of purchases of their high-end accessories. We basically crashed their site, which caused some of you to not be able to take advantage of the deal. Thankfully today, TYLT is running another 50% off promo by using coupon code "50TYLT-T4102711" during checkout. It appears to be 50% off of your entire order as well, so feel free to gobble up brightly colored accessories.
Not familiar with TYLT? They are mostly known for the TYLT VU wireless charger, but I've also used their portable battery packs and USB cables. All of it comes off very well-made, in a variety of bright colors, and is a solution for anything from car charging to audio splitting to case protection.

E.L.F. Studio Powder Brush | Vanity and Everything in Between.
One of the things that I can't stop buying are brushes - particularly if I am drawn to that particular brush. Flat top brushes have always been my thing. I use it to apply and set my foundation. From time to time, I switch to other kinds of foundation brushes. But I always always go back to using flat top brushes. Hence, having about 7 flat top brushes from different brands.
Now, I'm doing a quick review on E.L.F.'s Powder brush because I've had this for a little over a year and I haven't really stopped using this. I took a break from using it for about a few weeks. But I always find myself grabbing this brush.
When I first used this, I was actually disappointed. You see, I like dense flat top brushes AND you need dense flat top brushes if you want to use it to apply your liquid or cream foundation to your face. Well, this brush isn't at all dense. It's as soft as mineral brushes. Thing is, I never opened it before buying it so I had no idea it wasn't dense. So, I had to make use of this brush because I didn't want my money to go to waste.
I use this with my loose powders to set my foundation. At certain times, I also use this with my compact powders for touch-ups. It is a great brush to set your foundation. I use this brush everyday and I guess that means I love it. I'm also glad that despite having abused this brush by using it daily and deep cleaning it, the bristles are still intact and do not show any signs of it falling out any time soon. Therefore, I have maximized my PhP249.50 with this brush!
I will actually repurchase this brush once it gives up on me. I prefer using soft brushes when setting my powder then dense brushes.
Have you tried this brush? What are your thoughts on this?

Q: Hydrostatic water pressure If I have a tank of water 2 meters high x 1 meter square.
And I use a half inch outlet from the bottom of the tank going vertical, how high would the water reach in the pipe.? What would be the relationship with adding another meter in head pressure.
Or how do I calculate what I would need in head pressure given the above to reach a height of 20 feet say.

A: If the pipe is going vertically up, the water in the pipe will reach the same height as the water in the tank.

When i drag and drop elements back into the starting div, they become offset, can anybody explain why please? I have tried changing tags to classes, i have tried changing drag and drop options to no avail.

A: You have 4 images within the
 element. Those images are followed by line breaks

 because your

 tag right after the

 instead of before like I image you meant for,
When you move the image out of the
 and then back in, it is placed after the line break now, instead of before it. this causes the image to move to the next line.
All you need to do is place a
 right before those

 or delete the line breaks altogether.

The Berntsons — Traditional Norwegian-American dance music from Virginia
Read the flyer essay
View the webcast Running time 1:00:52
Around 1900, a Norwegian immigrant named Bernt Berntson Bradskerud purchased a violin in a northern Wisconsin logging camp and gave it to his ten-year-old son, Bennie. Bennie began playing learning Scandinavian folk tunes from fiddlers in his rural Wisconsin immigrant community, especially his musical uncle and cousins. For the next thirty years, Bennie played all night long at house parties and community dances that featured Scandinavian waltzes, schottisches, and square dances. These tunes became the backbone of the repertoire for the Berntsons. In the 1930s, Bennie Berntson's son Maurice and daughter Eleanore joined the family music circle. Eleanore's pump organ, playing melodies as well as chording, blended with the violins to produce a strikingly warm, rich sound. Maurice further enhanced the mix by playing the violin melodies on the guitar. In the 1960s, a second guitar was brought into the musical picture, when Eleanore's son Karl began playing the family music. Today, the Berntsons are alive and well, and heading into their second century of music-making. The band will include Eleanore Berntson, Karl Berntson, Andrea Hoag, Loretta Kelley, and Charlie Pilzer.

Barbara Lynn & Friends — Texas Rhythm and Blues
Barbara Lynn is a rhythm and blues singer and left-handed guitarist from Texas. In the 1950s, inspired by blues artists Guitar Slim and Jimmy Reed, and pop acts Elvis Presley and Brenda Lee, she created an all-female band, Bobbie Lynn and Her Idols. Her first single "You'll Lose a Good Thing" was a #1 R&B hit and a Top 10 pop hit in 1962, and was later a country hit for Freddy Fender. Soon Lynn was touring with such soul music greats as Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Ike and Tina Turner, and The Temptations. She appeared at the Apollo Theatre and twice on American Bandstand, and her song, "Oh Baby (We've Got a Good Thing Goin')" was recorded by The Rolling Stones. Rolling Stone's David Fricke has noted that Lynn continues to display "undiminished grace and poise, pouring a lifetime of blues and wisdom into her delivery."
Poet Paul Zarzyski with singer and composer Wylie Gustafson.
October 7, 2009 at 12:00 noon
Cowboy poet Paul Zarzyski and cowboy singer-composer Wylie Gustafson from Montana
As poets, songwriters and horsemen, Wylie Gustafson and Paul Zarzyski have pursued their writing and riding passions for over 35 years. Wylie Gustafson's performing career began in his teens. His break came when his band, Wylie & The Wild West, appeared on Ronnie Mack's Barn Dance at The Palomino Club in North Hollywood, which helped them secure a record deal. That done, he moved Dusty, Washington, where he established the Cross Three Quarter Horse Ranch. Wylie remains a full-time cutting horse trainer and competitor, as well as a full-time musician. He has recorded over fifteen albums, and has played thousands of venues around the world, including more than fifty appearances on The Grand Ole Opry. He has also been a guest on Late Night With Conan O'Brien and on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion. Paul Zarzyski has spent fifteen seasons as a bareback bronco rider on the amateur, pro, and senior circuits. This experience has infused his poetry with rodeo images and lingo. He is the recipient of the 2005 Montana Governor's Arts Award for Literature. His books have won a Western Heritage award for poetry from The National Cowboy Hall of Fame, and a Spur Award from The Western Writers of America. In addition to his eight collections of printed work, he has recorded four spoken-word CDs. In 1987, he was invited to the third annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, where he's performed every year since, and where he crossed trails with Wylie. Shortly thereafter, their co-written songs began to appear on Wylie's albums. In the fall of 2008, they joined Nashville producer John Carter Cash in his Cash Cabin Studio to record the CD HANG-n-RATTLE! According to Mark Bedor of American Cowboy magazine, they're "like Lennon and McCartney in cowboy hats."

Vodafone has announced plans to integrate social media inquiries into its regular customer service systems by March 2012, but it will be limited to Twitter and Facebook for now.
Vodafone will upgrade from the Genesys 6.5 system on top of a Rockwell PABX system to Genesys 8.1 by March, the company's head of contact centre systems and telephony Lee Challoner-Miles told ZDNet Australia. Challoner-Miles said the upgrade would allow the company's contact centre staff to respond to inquiries from Twitter, Facebook and the company's customer forum, where previously this was only handled by Vodafone's dedicated social media team.
"By using more universal queue management, we can leverage our workforce at a better scale," he said. "At the moment they're ring-fenced."
Challoner-Miles said that this would allow Vodafone to manage workload better, and although the social media work will now also be handled by contact centre staff, the social media team would still be the primary port of call.
"The social media team will still obviously be the prime. The individuals use their own name within social media," he said. "There's no staffing changes, we can just open up those channels to our wider staffing."
For social media inquiries, Vodafone has two methods of determining actual customer inquiries — the automated Radian6 social media monitoring tool and the dedicated social media staff.
"One is an automated system so it can just go through and pick out keywords and try to pick up the intent of what the customer is trying to say, we also then put that through to our social team who then actively look at all of the comments via Twitter or Facebook."
These inquiries are added to the universal queue, which Genesys then prioritises against those taken by phone, email or SMS depending on the nature and the urgency of the inquiry.
Although Genesys has recently moved to incorporate social media in its contact centre software, Challoner-Miles said that Vodafone would continue to use Radian6 for social media and just use Genesys for universal queuing. He said that other social networks such as Google+ would soon be incorporated into the Radian6 software in the near future, but that a number of social media websites such as Whirlpool required manual monitoring by staff.
"Purely because of the threads that can occur. Obviously with Twitter it is a single comment, but with Whirlpool it can then grow ... and they can be pages and pages long and we can be mentioned halfway through the thread or right at the very end. There is a lot more manual intervention," he said.
While trends towards social media for customer inquires were on the rise, Challoner-Miles said that voice calls were still the high portion of the inquiries directed to the telecommunications company.

ASCD is one of the most important and influential conferences in the nation because it's targeted toward school leaders and those who make big decisions in education. In addition to many, many teachers and teacher leaders in attendance, there are always huge numbers of superintendents, principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches, curriculum specialists, and district office members.
I've covered the ASCD conference as a member of the press (read: education blogger, it's not really that fancy) since 2009, and I always view the major conference themes as an indicator of the direction that American schools are currently moving. The ideas shared at this conference are heard, discussed, and hopefully implemented by decision makers in schools all across the country.
This year more than any other, there was a huge buzz about creating a positive, innovative school culture. I was thrilled to see so many principals and district leaders embrace the challenge to inspire and support teachers and kids. Every session I attended touched on the importance of creating a school culture that makes staff and students look forward to being in the building each day. The most inspiring presentations in that regard for me were from Rafe Esquith, who talked about culture at the classroom level, and Todd Whitaker, who spoke about it at the school level.
This was a term introduced by keynote speaker Sarah Lewis, author of The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery. We've been hearing about grit, mindset, and resilience for years, but Sarah points out that grit is not about dogged persistence in tasks that are not worthwhile. Some things are not worth pursuing, and people who are true masters of their craft know when to quit, cut their losses, and move forward in another direction. This was echoed in a conversation I had with ASCD author Jeffrey Benson, who spoke to the problem of grit being used to persuade kids to stick with meaningless tasks. Sometimes grit is misused: we continue to push outdated lessons or boring test-prep activities on kids and insist the problem is that they need to be grittier. Yes, we want kids to work hard and not give up when things are difficult, but there's no sense in making them work hard at inauthentic learning experiences that don't move them toward real mastery. Grit is not a catch-all solution: we still need to take a look at the types of tasks we're asking kids to be gritty toward.
In each of the last few years, I've seen fewer session offerings about specific tech tools and more sessions focused on the pedagogy behind them. (Insert the Hallelujah Chorus here.) Even more importantly, the non-tech-oriented sessions incorporated suggestions of how technology can enhance teaching and learning: these ideas were simply integrated as best practices, exactly as they should be, rather than advertised as a technology session. The focus is finally becoming on the learning, not the tools. I enjoyed hearing sessions from Steven Anderson and Joe Mazzaabout using tech and social media to share the great work that's happening in schools.
I was thrilled to see a session on EdCamps offered this year, and many others on differentiated and personalized professional development. The days of one-size-fits-all PD are (hopefully) drawing to a close, and school leaders are increasingly being urged to give teachers options as to what and how they learn. The same push is happening in classrooms, as many sessions focused on helping kids take more ownership of their learning. I particularly enjoyed Myron Dueck's session on assessing creativity–he showed many examples of how we can give kids choices about how they learn and how they demonstrate their learning without it turning into a logistical assessment nightmare for teachers.
I think every session I attended over the course of 3 days emphasized the importance of building relationships, particularly with students. Regie Routman has been saying this for decades, and getting to finally talk with her in person and hear her presentation was one of the highlights of the conference for me. Throughout the weekend, I saw that more and more school leaders are choosing to decide that kids must come first. Whatever pressure they are feeling from the district, state, etc. cannot be allowed to detract from their most important mission: relationships with students. Both kids and teachers need to feel like they matter, and need to be inspired, not pressured, to work hard. It's a big challenge for everyone in the education community, but truly a worthwhile goal.

Our SCBWI OK Spring Conference is a little over a month away, and it will be here before you know it. I look forward to this fun-filled weekend every year.
Are you attending a conference this spring? If so, are you ready?
Do you know what to expect?
Whether this is your first conference or your 30th (give or take a few) you can always use some good ideas to make the most out of your jam-packed day.
Here are some tips I've scrounged around among my dozens of conference folders, notebooks filled with years of furious scribbles of knowledge, and just words of advice passed along from my elders. I hope you find them helpful as you prepare for this spring's conference season.
Know how to talk about your own writing – Practice your elevator pitch until you know it well enough to ad-lib. Be able to talk about it conversationally. DO NOT try to memorize it. One false stumble can lead to panic. I've seen perfectly composed writers turn into blubbering messes because they lost their exact wording. DO NOT LET THIS BE YOU!
Dress in layers – Cardigans, jackets, and scarves can be your best friends at conferences. In the morning, the room may start out freezing cold, but as the day goes on and all of those bodies heat up the conference space, you may find that you start getting a little too warm. Layers, my friend. Trust me.
Be courteous and professional – Everyone wants a chance to interact with the speakers. Believe it or not, the speakers also want to talk with you. They just don't want to receive an unsolicited copy of your manuscript from underneath the bathroom stall. At our conference, everyone has lunch at a table with either a speaker or a published author. It's a fantastic opportunity to ask industry questions in a smaller group setting. Make sure you keep your conversation appropriate and allow others at the table to have a turn asking questions. That's right, share the speakers. They are there for everyone.
Participate! Ask questions during Q&A sessions, attend pre- and post- conference events, make a writing date for after the conference with a new friend. Get to know your local tribe of writers and the speakers. Our writing community is smaller than you think and you never know what connection will lead to something amazing. Also, writing can be a lonely endeavor; we can all use every bit of support we can get.
Recognize your opportunities – If you get a critique or opportunity to pitch, take some time (I mean several days at least) to let the comments sit with you before deciding your life is over and you'll never write again. Ever. Many of us have this dream that we will be that rarest of rare finds and be offered representation or a book deal right out of the gate. Most of the time, what agents and editors offer when they critique our work is an opportunity to improve our work. This is no small thing. You never know when these insightful suggestions can turn a not-so-fantastic manuscript into a dazzling one. One that can lead to a big fat 'yes' a little farther down the road.
Have you any tips you've acquired that work for you? What's your favorite part of going to a conference?
I'd add that it's a good idea to be generous and remember that everyone is there to learn. To be blunt, you're not the center of anyone's universe but your own.
Let others have a chance to speak to the speakers. If you constantly bring the conversation back to yourself, you will make a bad impression on the speaker. There's a rumor that a speaker once told an Oklahoma SCBWI member that said speaker wouldn't work with another writer if said other writer sent said speaker the best manuscript in the world. Life is too short. You will make a better impression by being helpful and pleasant. This is not to say you can't pitch your book if the opportunity comes up, but if a speaker asks what you're working on, give your elevator pitch, and if the speaker seems interested, offer a card. Then step aside. You've had your turn.
If a speaker is nice to you, it doesn't mean that the speaker thinks that your book is the best ever and that the speaker will publish it. It means that the speaker has good manners. It is easy to get too excited about a polite comment. Dang, Is that a picture of me several years ago, sure that this meant I was soon to be published? Like I said, we're all there to learn.
Offer someone a seat. Give someone a smile. Help someone out if his pen goes dry.
Be kind to those in charge. It's hard work to put on a conference. If you don't love the food, don't say so. If it's too warm or cold, it's okay to mention it, but don't harp on it. Some hotel conference rooms are just like that.
Don't ask anyone, including published authors from Oklahoma to critique your work. Especially not that minute. This is not the time to pull out a manuscript and say, "It'll only take you a minute." No, it won't. And really, what if your manuscript is awful? Do you really want the public humiliation? And if experienced published writers spent all their time doing (free) critiques, they wouldn't have time to write.
Do seek out others and ask about forming critique groups. Critique groups can be a wonderful help in improving your writing. (They don't help so much if it's the blind leading the blind, however).
Enjoy being around other like-minded creative people. Mingle, meet people. You may find some of your best friends there. I did.
i do especially like this bit of advice, stephanie.

Where did Turkey's former president go wrong?
This anecdote comes from a person who has contributed to the works done in the Presidential Palace by Hayrünnisa Gül, the wife of Abdullah Gül, whose presidency comes to an end today.
Turkey's (as of today) former first lady has spent a lot of time and energy to make everything impeccable in the presidential premises. Abdullah Gül and his wife are leaving behind 17 books that compile their seven years living at the Çankaya Palace.
The books were presented to journalists in a press conference on Aug. 26, two days before Gül's tenure ended. "This is too little too late," I thought to myself when I received the invitation for the press event that took place at the Huber Palace in Istanbul.
Mr. and Mrs. Gül should have started that kind of activity around three months before their departing date. Mrs. Gül, for instance, has every reason to be proud about turning the dull state dinners of Gül's predecessor into delightful feasts. But she probably did not dare to do so for fear of perhaps creating resentment with Emine Erdoğan, the wife of the prime minister; just as her husband has been careful not to antagonize Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
I think Mr. Gül waited until the last moment in the hope of being where Ahmet Davutoğlu is today: The new leader of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and soon to be the prime minister. However, he now faces a fate he probably feels he does not deserve: Having been totally scrapped by Erdoğan.
Ironically, while he was an old ally to Erdoğan, it seems that he was the person who knew the least about him. Let me explain. While Gül disagreed many times with Erdoğan, he never openly dared to challenge him. He thought that Erdoğan would appreciate his reconciliatory nature. But for Erdoğan, the political animal, reconciliation is a sign of weakness.
Let me take you to an incident that took place last May. Metin Feyzioğlu, the head of the Union of Turkey's Bar Associations (TBB), delivered a one-hour-long speech criticizing the government at a ceremony marking the Council of State's 146th anniversary. Turkish politics witnessed a first when Erdoğan interrupted Feyzioğlu's speech, standing up and heckling the TBB head. He then walked out of the ceremony, while Gül who was trying to calm him down had to leave the place as well, walking behind him.
According to state protocol, the prime minister cannot leave any room before the president. So this was an instance where Gül downgraded himself to the level of a former brother-in-arms to Erdoğan, forgetting that he, as the president, represented the whole of the nation and Erdoğan was being disrespectful to the head of the nation. Again, this was done in order to please Erdoğan, in the hope that he would eventually be the "chosen one."
Gül is appreciated for his moderate and reconciliatory nature. But this has played against him in the final stage of his political act. One should not resort to reconciliation at the expense of one's principles, and certainly not when this is seen as a sign of weakness by your adversary. Then again, Gül perhaps made the mistake of not seeing Erdoğan as an adversary.
By the way, am I wrong to say the "final stage of his political act"? Only time will tell.

The board could change dramatically and change is something many in the community say is needed.
The meeting had already drawn controversy, because it was held just six days before the runoff election, and one of the board members, Terence Davis, had already been voted out of office.
But because his successor had not yet been elected, Davis was on the dais.
The meeting started with in-fighting when Davis attacked Councilwoman Julia Botel's background. Eventually, Chairwoman Tonya Davis Johnson interrupted.
Davis went on to make vague accusations and speculations about the employees in the I.T. department, who he suspected leaked information to the media and other people.
"There been a lot of things happening with emails, text messages, copy machines," Davis said and was interrupted by loud laughs in the audience.
Many in the community remembered when Davis could not produce text messages from his city-owned cellphone and finally said his phone had fallen into the ocean.
Davis continued his accusations, saying someone at the city used city equipment to print out election flyers.
But Contact 5 had discovered in the middle of the election that Davis spent $2000 of taxpayer money on magnets with his name on it.
In 2017, he also bought Dart Vader boots with his city credit card.
Many in the community voiced the need for change.
"We need new blood up there, we need new thoughts," one resident said.
One name came up frequently: Jonathan Evans.
The former city manager was fired by three city council members in September 2017 and the residents have not forgotten.
"It will always be there in the minds and hearts of the citizens," said one resident.
Many said they are hopeful, with a new council, they can bring Evans back to Riviera Beach.
Of the three council members who fired Evans, two, Terence Davis and Dawn Pardo, have already been voted out of office. The third, Lynne Hubbard, is fighting for her seat on the dais on Tuesday's runoff election.

The Journey From the Days of the Station wagon
BY Steve Manning
First of all, let's get this out in the open—station wagon history is not exactly clear-cut and there are differences of opinion on just what is a station wagon. While the specific facts presented here would be difficult to argue separately, overall, what you are about to read is just one interpretation of those facts.
In the beginning, there was confusion…
OK, let's start with some definitions—what is a station wagon? Well, the very first station wagons were called 'depot hacks'—they worked primarily around train depots as hacks (taxicabs). The modified back ends that made them hacks were necessary to carry large amounts of luggage—everyone traveled by train then, remember, and you needed a car that could comfortably carry people and large amounts of luggage from the train station to home.
Pre-war predecessors
1941 Chrysler Town and Country Wagon
While they do not meet the definition of 'standard production', the first station wagon would be one of the numerous variations of the Ford Model T chassis. While Ford didn't build a production wagon until years later, many small independent manufacturers bought a chassis from Ford and put a wooden wagon body on it. Ford began selling this bare chassis in 1910 for $700.
The post-war classics (through the 1950s)
1953 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon
Until after WWII, station wagons were generally regarded as commercial vehicles like trucks, and production volume was low (station wagons accounted for less than 1 percent of motor vehicle sales in 1940).
Ah, the 60s…Muscle cars! Longer! Lower! Wider! More power!
1966 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser
But it started off with a new wagon phenomenon – compact station wagons. Simultaneous 1960 wagon introductions by Ford (Falcon/Comet) and Chrysler (Valiant), followed by Chevrolet (Corvair in 1961 and Chevy II in 1962), brought new choices to the wagon market. These compacts were in response to a new factor in the station wagon market…foreign (smaller) station wagons.
In the '70s—the disappearing act begins
1970 Ford Country Squire
Try to name the defining event for the 1970s that affected the automobile industry (no, not disco), and it would be a toss-up between the first gasoline crisis in 1974, or the new, draconian emissions specifications (starting in 1972) which killed the muscle car (and engine performance in general). Both of these events were particularly hard on the full-size station wagon. Sales of full-size models fell dramatically in 1974-75, culminating with the disappearance of all full-size wagon models from the Chrysler (and Dodge and Plymouth) product line in 1978. Chrysler went on to build the minivan, and has not built a full-size wagon since.
The '80s—the minivan cometh
1984. George Orwell wrote about it, long-time station wagon owners fear it. While officially introduced in 1983, the 1984 model year of the Chrysler minivan put a stake into the heart of the wagon market like nothing else before it. Instantly popular, it became the vehicle of choice for family transport. It was said that in some ways the minivan became popular because people were trying to escape the 'mom-mobile' image of the station wagons they grew up with.
The '90s—struggling to hold on (or, the year the Roadmaster died)
1991 Chevrolet Caprice
As a final, shining beacon, GM introduced the last restyle of its full-size, rear-wheel wagons in 1991 with the Chevrolet Caprice. In 1992, the Buick version (Roadmaster) was introduced – the final chapter in the story of full-size wagons that goes all the way back to the 1920s. The Oldsmobile version (Custom Cruiser) disappeared after the 1992 model year, while the Caprice and the Roadmaster finished things out by lasting through the 1996 model year. Why were they dropped? To make room for producing more trucks…
