Everything Devin Booker Wants 'Is on the Other Side of Hard'
After years of losing, the Suns' sharpshooter gained his share of critics, but with a revamped squad around him, one of the NBA's best scorers is out to prove he's one of its best players, period.
Jonathan Abrams@jpdabramsTwitter LogoSenior Writer, B/R MagIN PHOENIXDecember 9, 2019
Tom Chambers had heard enough. More importantly, he had seen enough from Devin Booker to know the whispers didn't align with reality. Throughout the summer, the four-time All-Star and current Suns TV analyst witnessed a litany of criticism aimed at Booker—his bypassing Team USA, the double-teaming workout video—and knew the critiques bore little reality to the player who worked himself into one of the game's best shooters. So Chambers quietly left a plaque of one of his favorite quotes, one that fueled him during his own playing career, inside Booker's locker.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, starts Theodore Roosevelt's "The Man in the Arena."
"It just hit home," said Booker, who was headed home on this November morning from Talking Stick Arena, where he surprised five nonprofit organizations by telling them he would be donating $500,000 annually to them throughout the next five years. "I put so much work into my craft to where outside noise really hasn't been a problem for me through my career, and that just comes with the work that I put in. I know the game."
The plaque still resides inside Booker's locker, to Chambers' surprise. Though his name can be found in the Suns' Ring of Honor, he allows the current team its space. But he knows the realities of starring for a struggling franchise better than most. Drafted by the San Diego Clippers in 1981, Chambers quickly became the leading scorer for a woeful team that lost 122 games in his two seasons with the club. What more do I have to do? Chambers often wondered. He did not find team success until he joined Seattle, and later Phoenix, where he reached the Finals in 1993.
"Until you get on a team that is winning and is fighting at least for a playoff spot, that individual stuff, they will write up that you've got some points, but there's always, 'Oh, you don't play defense,' or 'Oh, you don't do this,'" Chambers said. "But when the team starts winning, everything just falls into place. You appreciate the good times much more when you've gone through some tough times, and Devin certainly has had that in his first few years here in Phoenix."
Propelled by an ultra-efficient Booker, the Suns are playing competitive basketball in the early season. A team that didn't crack a dozen wins until after the All-Star break last season is already nearing that total in early December, including quality wins over the Clippers, Nets and 76ers. Talking Stick Arena is scheduled for $230 million in renovations. And a new practice facility is under construction. In total, a franchise that hasn't been to the playoffs in almost a decade seems to be regaining its footing thanks to a revamped roster that has allowed its biggest star, Booker, to regain his sense of self.
"Coming from Kentucky, we only lost one game the whole time I was there, and you think you're going to come in the NBA and it's going to be the same way," Booker said. "It's not going to be like that. So, it kind of sat me down, humbled me a little bit and just let you know that you got to keep going. You got to raise the bar every night. Dealing with losing is something that I could never—and still don't—I can't get comfortable with it."
As a result, it's been hard for those in and around the league to get comfortable with Booker. Yes, he could drop 70 in a single night, but it didn't prevent the Suns from losing that game against the Celtics in March 2017 and a lot more. Many wondered whether Booker's skills could translate into winning.
"I become a mental coach then," said Devin's father, Melvin Booker, a former NBA player. "It's not even about basketball then."

Devin tried not to engage with the swirl of questions but, rather, he worked. He got better.
Coming from Kentucky, we only lost one game the whole time I was there, and you think you're going to come in the NBA and it's going to be the same way. It's not going to be like that.

"I've been in that state where you try to deny everything," Booker said. "Like, 'I'm the perfect human. I'm the best basketball player. I'm the best at this,' when in actual reality, you're not. It's fine, not being the best at everything, but if you're putting the work into it to become better and making progress every day, that's what it's about."
When Devin Booker shoots a basketball, odds are it's going in.
"It's an effortless shot, and he can shoot it seven, eight feet behind the three-point line like it's a layup," Suns coach Monty Williams said. "When he does miss a shot, I am internally surprised."
He's not the only one.
"Honestly, some nights … I'll have like 25 or, say, 30, I'll be like, 'No, I could have had 50 that night,'" Booker said. "I'm never happy about where I'm at. There's always room for improvement. … It's like a bar that you just keep trying to set higher for yourself and just keep trying to reach it."
Growing up in Grandville, Michigan, Booker came to appreciate the shooting form of Rip Hamilton, his favorite player at the time. So Booker would log on to YouTube and type in searches for "how to shoot" and consume what he found—"like Kobe Bryant shooting tips. Or … probably one-off gigs with [some] random company, and I [would] just literally sit there and watch."
He'd go to a court and practice. Other kids drifted off to the three-point line to heave shots with all their energy. "I would stand in the paint and form-shoot because the ball was too heavy," Booker said." I knew if I went to the three-point line, I would literally have to push it and throw it. So, I would just shoot in the paint, just form shooting, which I still do today."
Before his sophomore season of high school, Devin moved to Mississippi with his father and began to hone his game with Melvin, the 1994 Big Eight Conference Player of the Year at Missouri, who had ended his overseas professional career. The pair worked constantly as Melvin tutored Devin on the game's finer points.
In his one season at Kentucky in 2014-15, Booker had expanded the range he struggled to establish as a kid and shot 41.1 percent from three. While his NBA evolution may be in question to some, his shot-making is not.
"That's all I watch is Devin," Heat rookie and fellow Wildcat Tyler Herro recently told the Miami Herald's Anthony Chiang.
"Just the way he gets to his spots, when he picks and chooses to be aggressive, the footwork he uses when he gets to his spots, how he reads the defense. Really, [I'm] just trying to dissect everything from his game."

Booker is still exploring his game too—not only to keep one of the league's most enviable shooting strokes in tune but also to be more than what he has been.
"I've got to the point where it's like I know I'm not the best at everything," Booker said. "Us as athletes, I think once you can get to that point where you're comfortable with saying you're not good at something—'I need to work on it'—that's when you can get the most out of it. Personally, you know what you're not good at, and to actually embrace that and go work on it is what I did this summer. It wasn't just one part of my game or working on my body. It's just collective—everything."
It's mid-November, and Talking Stick Arena was empty. A night earlier, the Suns battled the Lakers for four seesaw quarters. Booker tried pump-faking LeBron James, another well-known fan of Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" quote, into a foul near the end of the game. "You ain't going to get me with that, Book," James said after Booker's shot attempt landed errant in an eventual eight-point loss.
Still, the game was an instructive one for a franchise that isn't accustomed to playing under pressure. Veteran point guard Ricky Rubio had discussed what to expect with the team before the game, but it didn't make a difference this time. "It's a different kind of game," Booker said after absorbing it all. "It's a different energy, but I haven't been in a playoff game, so I don't know what that feels like. Last night was definitely a high-intensity game."
The vibe is decidedly more relaxed the following day. A spotlight shone on midcourt, and Booker walked out of the arena's tunnel to the surprise of a contingent from Special Olympics Arizona.
I think once you can get to that point where you're comfortable with saying you're not good at something—'I need to work on it'—that's when you can get the most out of it.
— Booker
"I know you're here to give a final pitch to be selected part of the Starting Five," Booker said of the initial allocations of the $2.5 million pledge he made to donate over five years to Phoenix Suns Charities. "I want you to know you've already been selected. It's a done deal."
Chastity Fermoile, the organization's chief development officer, covered her mouth with her hand in shock. Her hands soon cradled an oversized $100,000 check.
"You don't even have to pitch it," Booker said.

The scene is played out four more times. Members of each charity arrive, believing they are delivering their final pitches, and they depart with a check for $100,000.
Each contribution holds meaning for Booker. His younger sister, Mya, has Microdeletion syndrome, a genetic chromosomal disorder. He admits things are not always easy for her, but he's taken some happiness in his ability to help her live a comfortable life his stardom allows.
"You never expect it, especially with my sister," Booker said. "It's been unbelievable … putting her through the NBA lifestyle at the same time. It's uncomfortable for her a lot of times being in these settings, but making her feel comfortable and happy and every day just feeling like she's a part of it has been my goal."
It's a feeling he has worked to find for himself in Phoenix.
When Booker was a rookie, Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald invited him to a community event. Fitzgerald, well-known for his contributions in the area, told Booker: "This could be your city. Being involved in this community, they'll love you and you will love them."
The conversation lingered with Booker. I want to be known like that, he thought. I want that kind of a reputation.
Handing out those $100,000 checks is part of the effort. So was committing to Phoenix for the long run last summer by agreeing to a five-year maximum extension ($158 million), even with another gloomy season on the horizon.

"This a basketball city," Booker said. "People have Phoenix Suns tattoos on them. There's a serious fanbase here from the Charles Barkley, Dan Majerle…those days. Coming out here, I was like, Well … I know they love the game of basketball.
"To show that passion, especially in what likely was the worst state that the organization had ever been in, and just to still have that unconditional love and support for me through all of that was unbelievable. At the same time, it's just in me just to be a part of the community. I live here now. My whole family lives here. It's just something that we embrace and took on. This is our home."
"You don't want to get happy on the farm."
It's one of the many folksy sayings Coach Williams has hit Booker and his teammates with this season. One day Booker may actually ask him what it means. For now, it's part of a new mindset the franchise is trying to establish. Outside critiques can't matter. Opponents can't walk into the Suns' home confident they'll leave with a win.
"You can feel the swagger and the confidence of the other team just to start the game, and changing that perception early in the season is important for us," Booker said. "I think we're pushing that narrative right now, that it's not going to be easy."
The roster is a mesh of ascending young players like Booker, Mikal Bridges, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Deandre Ayton (serving a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA/NBPA anti-drug policy for testing positive for a diuretic) and playoff-tested veterans like Rubio, Aron Baynes and Dario Saric.
"We were looking for guys that were accustomed to winning," said James Jones, Phoenix's general manager. "And guys that know what it takes. If you look at all of our acquisitions, from our players to our coaches to our staff, every single one of them, they have a similar pedigree. At some point in their career, they got accustomed to winning and they crave it, and they compete every day trying to pursue that. That's the common thread."
Williams was hired over the spring to weave that thread through a difficult Western Conference. But it's a long season, and there are a lot of old habits to break. As he intimated in another of his unique sayings, "Everything you want is on the other side of hard."
Said Booker: "He never put an explanation behind it, on what it meant. But I think it's kind of like a personal thing ... on what is hard and what's hard to you. … So, every time when it comes down to that nitty gritty, like being able to dig in and just get past that mental wall of where this is hard or there's an easier way around it, instead of just doing it."
Williams is a disciple of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. "Pop taught me a long time ago not to mess it up, and that was my main goal, was to not get in [a player's] way and mess up what he already had done and could do," Williams said in describing his approach with Booker.
If you look at all of our acquisitions, from our players to our coaches to our staff, every single one of them, they have a similar pedigree. At some point in their career, they got accustomed to winning and they crave it.
— Suns GM James Jones
In assessing him, Williams noticed a player overburdened with offensive duties, an issue he hopes Rubio alleviates. "I thought if we could put [Devin] in an environment, in a culture, that he was excited about, he would be more inclined to keep growing in his game," Williams said. "No disrespect to anybody that's been here before, but ... Ricky was a huge part of it."
The pair developed a quick rapport. Rubio labeled Booker an MVP-caliber-type player, one who can score at will but also one willing to deliver the ball to open teammates. "That's a winning player: when you know you can score over two or three guys and it makes look you good, but it's team first," Rubio said. Booker, in turn, described Rubio as the game's greatest passing point guard, a player who thinks a couple of plays ahead.

"He's not the most athletic," Booker said of Rubio. "He doesn't shoot the ball the best. He's not going in there dunking on anybody or using lightning speed to get by anybody. Everything with him is up here in his mind. He won't say it, but you can tell when he's playing, he's thinking the whole time and he's putting people in the right position.
"He's made it easier for me off the ball. He'll come tell me before a play what's going to happen. Just like this, 'I'm going to dribble at you, I'm going to look at you. This time you're going to do a handoff. Next time you're going back door.' He's two, three plays in advance when he's out there."
Rubio has made the game easier for Booker, which has allowed Williams to ask more from Booker in other facets of the game.
"I know that he's already achieved a lot, and the chasm between where he is now and where he wants to go is huge, and that's a hard thing to overcome," Williams said. "I've seen younger players who wanted more than just scoring points and money. The next big thing is really hard. It usually comes with winning, and winning is hard.
"I ask more of him than I ask of anybody on the team, and that's a hard thing when you're already scoring a bunch of points and playing your butt off every night. And yet I'm on him about boxing out. I'm on him about getting back in transition. But I think if he does that stuff consistently, the whole world is going to see what I believe is one of the most complete players in the NBA."
His teammates see it too—as well as why he needs them to achieve it.
"Book already has the physical skills, everything that a superstar NBA player has," Oubre said. "It's about the guidance at this point. Being in Phoenix, I think his first five years, four years, he hasn't had the necessary stability that he needs to be better every day. Now he does."
The season is still young, but so far the Suns' plan to allow Booker to be himself is helping them get toward the "other side of hard."
"Right now, my main focus is my team's success," Booker said. "In the past, I've put the numbers up, and it doesn't matter. Right now, I think everything comes with winning."

Shakespeare & Company
Tina Packer Playhouse
July 23 to September 4, 2016
Out of character as Aphra Behn (1640-1689) the formidable company actress, Tod Randolph, addresses the audience directly.
She expands on and speculates about that tantalizing one word title Or, for the play by Liz Duffy Adams that is about to be performed.
There are a range of possible dichotomies; either or, good or bad, yes or no, hot or cold. Life indeed see-saws back and forth between extremes. She questions just what fits between the O and the R of the title with a comma.
In the midst of this, off script with an impish expression, she also points to the exits and tells us to turn off all cell-phones.
With a nice touch from the director Alice Reagan it launches what will be a playful, jocular, perhaps even instructive one- act play some ninety minutes in duration.
The main stage this season presents two plays by Shakespeare Merchant of Venice and Two Gentlemen of Verona which opens in two weeks. The play that opened last night will run in between.
After a period of instability, a couple of seasons ago, there was a general decision to return strongly to the company mandate of presenting the works of Shakespeare. In this balance on the main stage have been contemporary plays with an historical perspective of issues in classical theatre.
Last year, for example, there was a production of Red Velvet with John Douglas Thompson focused on the first appearance of a black actor performing Shakespeare on the London stage.
The current production focuses on the first successful woman playwright who also published poetry and novels.
This occurred during the period of the Restoration. When Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads killed King Charles I and ruled with Puritan tyranny theatres were closed.
In the time frame of this play, the 1660s, they have been reopened by King Charles II, a patron and enthusiast of theatre, and a character (played by Allyn Burrows) in this play. He is an ersatz supporter of Behn, first as spymaster, then as patron and would be lover.
After the fundamentalism of the dreary, righteous Cromwell, during the Restoration, there was an enthusiastic end of repression and censorship that marked a return to Merry Olde England. Comedy during this period was particularly raunchy and raucous. Behn was successful in having a number of her plays produced.
In harsher terms even than those today playwrights were paid after the third performance and only if there was a profit to share. For flops they were paid nothing at all.
Behn has been a heroine for feminists, starting with Virginian Woolf, who she wrote about in A Room of One's Own a lecture she delivered to women in college.
This summer, in its Rose Footprint tent S&Co. is presenting Behn'scomedy The Emperor of the Moon directed by Jenna Ware.
Another character in the Kelly play is the historical figure Nell Gywnne (Nehassaiu de Gannes) who was one of the first women to appear on the British stage. She performed both male and female roles.
Here she is suggested as a lover of Behn in a drama that presents the hilarious, farcical events of a single evening.
When women started to be involved in theatre they were regarded as having compromised virtue. They were not accepted into polite society but were the playthings of stage door Johnny's which included royalty.
Cast adrift from social security, by the nature of their profession, being kept by well born, rich lovers may also have provided some protection. These women were exposed and available in a way that proper ladies were not.
As an early role model of a woman living by her wits Behn was also a free thinker who in her work expressed comical views of the traditional roles of women, sex and marriage. For that she was regarded as controversial.
In exploring the dualities implied by Or, we have a play that is both probing, feminist in its agenda, and well, surprisingly, a whole lot of fun.
Anchored by the rock solid as usual performance of Randolph, with a nice light comedic touch, she gets terrific support and synergy from deGannes and Burrows. As knitted together by Reagan they leap and cavort their way through adventures, pratfalls, reversals and surprises.
This is the second play we have encountered in the now reconfigured in the round, oval actually, playhouse. That means no sets to speak of and more reliance on props and costumes. Exits and entrances are accomplished running past us through the aisles.
There is also a mystery box where the double agent and Behn's former lover William Scot (also played by Burrows) comes and goes switching off as Charles. Other than Randolph as Behn the other two actors play a combined six characters.
The changes are often stunning and side splitting.
We first encounter deGannes as the ersatz, gender-bending, boy toy Nell Gwynne. With a Jamaican flavored accent and a loose turban she is the servant girl Maria.
But, stop the presses, the knockout highlight of the evening occurs when deGannes delivers a monologue at blistering speed dressed in a spectacular manner by Govane Lohbauer as Lady Davenant. As the owner of a small theatre she commissions a play by Behn but only if it can be delivered in the morning.
It becomes near to impossible when Behn attempts this while contending with the chaos that surrounds her. In addition to both seducing and fending off both Gwynne and the King, there is also the untimely reappearance of her former spy mate Scot who is on the run.
By the end it all wraps up with a not exactly happy ending. The audience, however, was utterly satisfied. It left us wanting to know more about the fascinating Aphra Behn who is for now alive, well and summering in the Berkshires

Q: How to run tapply() on multiple columns of data frame using R? I have a data frame like the following:
a   b1  b2  b3  b4  b5  b6  b7  b8  b9
D   4   6   9   5   3   9   7   9   8
F   7   3   8   1   3   1   4   4   3
R   2   5   5   1   4   2   3   1   6
D   9   2   1   4   3   3   8   2   5
D   5   4   3   1   6   4   1   8   3
R   3   7   9   1   8   5   3   4   2
D   4   1   8   2   6   3   2   7   5
F   7   1   7   2   7   1   6   2   4
D   6   3   9   3   9   9   7   1   2

The function tapply(df[,2], INDEX = df$a, sum) works fine to produce a table that sums everything in df[,2] by df$a, but when I try tapply(df[,2:10], INDEX = df$a, sum) to get a similar table, except with a sum for each column (2, 3, 4,..., 10), I get an error message reading:

Error in tapply(df[, 2:10], INDEX = df$a, sum) : arguments must have same length

Additionally, I would like the row names of the table to be the column names of df[,2:10], such that row 1 is b1, row 2 is b2, and row 9 is b9.

A: Another possibility is to combine apply and tapply.
apply(df[,-1], 2, function(x) tapply(x, df$a, sum))

Will produce the output (which is a matrix)
    b1  ...   b9
D   sD1 ...  sD9
F   sF1 ...  sF9
R   sR1 ...  sR9

You can then use as.data.frame() to get a data frame as output.

A: Here is a way to apply data.table to this problem.
library(data.table)
DT <- data.table(df)
DT[, lapply(.SD, sum), by=a]

And here is a dplyr approach
library(dplyr)
df %>% group_by(a) %>% summarise_all(funs(sum))

A: That's because tapply works on vectors, and transforms df[,2:10] to a vector. Next to that, sum will give you the total sum, not the sum per column. Use aggregate(), eg :
aggregate(df[,2:10],by=list(df$a), sum)

If you want a list returned, you could use by() for that. Make sure to specify colSums instead of sum, as by works on a splitted dataframe :
by(df[,2:10],df$a,FUN=colSums)

Across New South Wales, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has issued severe thunderstorm warnings, a marine wind warning and hazardous surf warning. In addition, the State Emergency Service responded to more than 400 calls for assistance by Monday afternoon across the state as trees fell, cars were damaged and power lines went down.
The aftermath of a major weather disaster can be confusing when there is no way to be prepared for it. Here are a few key things to remember in the hours following a disaster that will help you manage the situation and not allow it to manage you.
See if anyone needs medical attention. Turn off gas and electricity, if possible. Check on neighbours and others nearby. If your home has been damaged, don't re-enter unless you are sure it is safe or until it has been inspected.
Depending on the extent of the disaster, you may be able to stay with family or friends nearby. If you can stay in your home but have no power, you can cook BBQ.
Disasters leave a great deal of damage, so be on the lookout for downed power lines that may still be live. Floodwater not only carries bacteria, but can sweep away debris like logs that float unnoticed underwater and can damage property.
Water damage is caused by many sources such as heavy rain, burst pipes, blocked drains and inoperable sewage systems. Sewage Clean Ups must be treated as a priority and clean up must occur as soon as possible. If left unmediated, after 48 hours many personal belongings, furnishings and structural elements including flooring, walling and carpets will not be salvageable.

Pirates closer Jason Grilli signs autographs for fans during a workout Sunday, March 31, 2013, at PNC Park.
Pirates closer Jason Grilli works out Sunday, March 31, 2013, at PNC Park.
Pirates closer Jason Grilli takes the field for a workout Sunday, March 31, 2013, at PNC Park.
Note: Elroy Face collected 188 saves with the Pirates Prior to its becoming an official stat in 1969.
The evolution of the closer began in the late 1950s and early '60s, when guys like Elroy Face went from being part-time starters to full-time game-enders.
In the early 1970s, setup men began to emerge. By the end of that decade, when Tekulve was flourishing as the Pirates' closer, a third phase began.
In a way, then, Jason Grilli is a living, breathing snapshot of baseball's metamorphosis. Already in his odds-defying, decade-long career, Grilli has been a starter, a middle man, a specialist and a setup reliever. On Opening Day, five months after turning 36 years old, Grilli will begin his first season as a closer.
Does Grilli represent the next phase, a sort of uberpitcher? He grinned and shrugged.
The Pirates signed Grilli in July 2011 when he was trying to make a comeback in Philadelphia's farm system. He had pitched in the majors from 2000-09 but missed the entire 2010 season recovering from knee surgery. The Phillies had no spot for him, so they released Grilli so he could get another shot in the big leagues with the Pirates.
A year later, Grilli was working the eighth inning in front of closer Joel Hanrahan. Grilli racked up 45 holds and averaged 13.8 strikeouts per nine innings pitched, the fourth-best mark in the National League.
Ten days after re-signing Grilli to a two-year deal, the Pirates traded Hanrahan to Boston. Management never even thought about bringing in a free-agent closer. "It's Jason's job to keep," general manager Neal Huntington said on the day Hanrahan was dealt.
Grilli has proven his stuff is plenty good enough to close games. But, there is something special about the ninth inning that requires a mental approach not every pitcher can muster.
It's a bit unusual for a pitcher to become a closer at age 36. Then again, Grilli's career has not followed a normal trajectory, being derailed at times by limited opportunities and injuries.
Father Time usually is not kind to power arms. Grilli knows the two-year, $6.75 million contract he signed in December could be the last big payday of his career. He wants to make the most of this shot with the Pirates.
Tekulve once said the best part about being a closer was standing alone on the mound in the middle of another team's ballpark and making 50,000 people all shut up at once. It's a good gig, but it comes with a lot of unique demands and pressures.
"Some guys can handle the ninth inning and others can't," Tekulve said. "There are a lot of reasons Jason hasn't done this before — he didn't get the opportunity, the injuries. The only thing left is to send him out there and find out how he does in the ninth inning.
Notes: Infielder Brandon Inge and pitchers Jeff Karstens, Francisco Liriano and Charlie Morton were placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday, setting the team's 25-man roster. Inge's DL move is retroactive to March 26; the others are retroactive to March 22.

Life's Tough—YOU Can Be TOUGHER!
Jon Erwin sharing stories of hope, faith, redemption, and triumph of the human spirit
Listen on your favorite podcast network.
Dustin Plantholt's "Life's Tough—You Can Be Tougher" podcast this week features Jon Erwin, renowned American Christian-film director and producer, screenwriter and author. Jon, along with his brother Andrew have had four feature films all opening in the top-ten movies in America and collectively grossing more than $100 million at the U.S. box office. They are also among only eight directors to receive the incredibly rare A+ CinemaScore twice, joining a list that includes Stephen Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis.
This "Life's Tough" episode released on August 12th, 2020 and is now available on all major podcast networks, under the Podcast Channel "Life's Tough".
Jon Erwin was born in Birmingham, Alabama and is the son of Senator Hank Erwin and grandson of Medal of Honor recipient and World War II veteran, Henry Eugene "Red" Erwin, Sr.
Jon began his career—as a teenager—working as a camera operator for ESPN in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. Soon after he embarked on a fulltime career as a sports cameraman covering University of Alabama games all over the country—working with ESPN College Football Primetime, FOX NFL, the NBA, and covered events like the X Games and the Super Bowl. In 2002, Jon and his brother Andrew started their own production company, venturing into creating commercials, documentaries, and music videos. They found enormous success in the world of music, directing music videos and producing concerts and television programs for platinum artists like Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Casting Crowns, Switchfoot, Skillet, and others. The brothers received eleven nominations and were honored with wins for Music Video of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards for three consecutive years.
The Erwin Brothers have also produced and directed several documentaries, including the multi-award winning 9/11 story, The Cross And The Towers; a music documentary with Third Day, Live Relations; a documentary filmed in the Galapagos Islands, The Mysterious Islands; and the international dramatic short-film series, God Provides.
In 2010 the Erwin Brothers shifted their focus and began exclusively developing dramatic feature films—setting a level of expectation for authenticity and storytelling that is a cut above. Their debut feature, released by Samuel Goldwyn, was the coming-of-age OCTOBER BABY, which opened as a top-ten movie in America and eventually earned more than $5 million at the box office. Their second feature film, MOMS' NIGHT OUT, was released in 2014 by Sony's AFFIRM Films and Provident Films—a family comedy starring Sarah Drew, Patricia Heaton, Sean Astin, and Trace Adkins. In 2015 they released their third feature film, WOODLAWN, which starred Jon Voight, Sean Astin, and newcomer Caleb Castille, that was met with critical acclaim and received an A+ CinemaScore. Their 2018 music biopic, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, shocked the entertainment industry to become the number one independent movie of 2018 and the highest grossing film in the history of its distributor, collecting more than $83 million in box office revenue on a production budget of just $7 million. In 2018, the brothers and their filmmaking collaborator Kevin Downes announced the formation of Kingdom Story Company, a production company specializing in Christian films that will be distributed through Lionsgate. Some will be directed by the Erwins, while other movies will use newcomers and other veteran directors.
Jon is also proud to announce the release of his first book—available on August 18th—BEYOND VALOR: A World War II Story of Extraordinary Heroism, Sacrificial Love, and a Race against Time, co-written with William Doyle—an award-winning New York Times bestselling author and television producer. This dramatic biography of Red Erwin—Jon's grandfather— is supported by 15 years of research, which includes interviews with fellow crewmen, oral histories, and Erwin family correspondence and press interviews. Readers learn about Red Erwin's exceptional life, from growing up as the son of a coal miner in Birmingham, Alabama, becoming the man of the house at age 10 when his father died, to joining the army reserve as an aviation cadet. Red Erwin's dream was to become a pilot, but he struggled with landings and instead accepted a reassignment as a radio operator, which led to the fateful journey.
At the same time, readers follow as Erwin meets Martha Elizabeth "Betty" Starnes at church, the woman who would become the love of his life — the woman who stayed by his side for fifty-seven years, through more than forty surgeries, through Erwin's pain and despair, his reentry into civilian life and the start of his career at the Veterans Administration, where he dedicated himself to helping veterans for the next thirty-seven years. Readers discover that, despite his broken body, Erwin lived the rest of his life to the fullest. He thrived personally and professionally, raised four children, was patriotic and cherished representing the Medal of Honor, while most importantly, remaining strong in his faith.
"Today my brother and I are partners in a thriving entertainment business, and we strive to be of service to others by telling stories that have the power to uplift and inspire people," writes Jon. "In our day-to-day work, the memory and lessons of Red Erwin inspire us with the ideals of endurance and perseverance, of pushing ourselves toward something that we believe is right and worth fighting for. The difference between success and failure can be when an individual chooses to quit. And I've found that the people who are successful are the people who can go above and beyond. I learned that from my grandfather."
Beyond Valor is the miraculous true story of a soldier's unspeakable heroism, a woman's unfailing love, the faith that secured them all, as told through the lens of his loving grandson.
Join Dustin and Jon for a candid interview on Jon's successful film career and listen how his faith is instrumental in the stories he tells. Jon says, "My brother and I tell stories that showcase the power of the gospel … I think that the values that we hold dear as Christians are immensely appealing — things like sacrifice and virtue and honor and destiny and things like that … and when they're presented correctly, they're appealing to everybody."

I was searching and searching for a wedding card that I could CASE that I like... and I just couldn't find one!
So i had to make one on my own, using a couple ideas from a bunch of different cards.
I'm pretty happy with it! I used Smoky Slate and Whisper White... and the next wedding i'm attending the color is mint so I used pistachio pudding... But you could change the center to be whatever color is featured at YOUR next wedding!
Hope you get some inspiration from this wedding card!

Q: VS 2015 suddenly complaining about Newtonsoft.Json version compatibility I have a complex solution which suddenly -- and I mean suddenly, for days it was compiling just fine and the next moment it wasn't -- started complaining about Newtonsoft version compatibilities:

Severity  Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
  Error CS1705  Assembly 'UploadFramework' with identity
  'UploadFramework, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
  PublicKeyToken=null' uses 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=9.0.0.0,
  Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' which has a higher
  version than referenced assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json' with identity
  'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
  PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'  UploadProcessor..NET Framework
  4.6   C:\Programming\ConnellCampaigns\src\UploadProcessor\batch\EnvelopeSalutationJob.cs  341 Active

I am totally at a loss as to how to fix this...as so far as I can tell, nothing has changed in the code base.
However, I had just done a "reorganize usings" across the entire solution, which modified quite a few files. OTOH, as soon as I ran into this problem, I immediately reverted all the changes -- thank goodness for git! -- so I should be back to where I am.
But I'm not...
Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Additional Info
I should've mentioned that the project.json file for UploadFramework has this line in it:
"Newtonsoft.Json": "6.0.8"

There's a blue squiggly line under the 6.0.8 which, when you hover the mouse over it, says that the project ended up with version 9.0.1. I don't understand how I can specifically define a particular version, and end up with a more recent one. Perhaps that's a clue as to what's going on.

A: You have two different versions of the Newtonsoft assembly references in your solution. You can use the "consolidate" option in the nuget package manager and you should be fine.
If it do not work after a revert: clean is the first thing to try, sometimes you also need to clean up the /packages folder - you might have multiple folder for Newtonsoft these. Simply delete the version you are not working. Then the solution should build again.


The recent cold spell here reminded me of this photo of cherries frozen in a flash ice storm.
Can you tell me the name of the university where these photographs have been clicked?
Wow, that's such a creepy picture in my opinion. I've NEVER seen stuff frozen like that, maybe only frost or snow on stuff.

Bus Accident News
Nashville Bus Accident Attorneys Highlight Two Recent Accidents that Transpired Involving MTA Buses
A Metropolitan Transit Authority bus (MTA) was recently involved in an accident with another vehicle in downtown Nashville. According to Patch.com, the bus collided with another car on Hermitage Avenue near Middleton Street. While the bus did sustain some front-end damage, not one of the seven passengers aboard were said to have suffered any injuries. The occupants of the other two vehicles were reportedly uninjured as well. The source did highlight that one pregnant passenger who had been involved in the accident wanted to be checked out, though she may have taken her own form of transportation to do so as EMT's did not transport her.
Authorities are investigating the MTA bus accident as it is the second one that had occurred within the same week. WSMV reported on the first crash and we have highlighted some details from it for you below.
Metro Nashville was called to the scene of an MTA bus accident that involved another vehicle. Unlike the accident discussed above, there were nine people who suffered injuries from the wreck. The crash occurred around 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of Rosa L. Parks Avenue and Union Street. Seven of the passengers who were riding on the bus at the time suffered an injury. The bus driver along with the driver of the other vehicle was also harmed in the collision and six of those people were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The source indicated that their injuries were non-life-threatening.
Aside from crashing into a vehicle, the MTA bus also hit a sign that sits outside of the Lofts at the Reserve apartment building. Luckily, the bus did not damage any other part of the property which could have resulted in more victims.
Seeing that two MTA bus accidents occurred within such a short timeframe from other another, you can bet an internal investigation will be conducted to determine if any parties were negligent while operating the buses. Because bus companies along with their drivers carry a great deal of responsibility on their shoulders and have the duty to drive with safety in mind, investigations are conducted to ensure that the company is following regulations and protocols and isn't the cause of all the accidents that transpire.
While bus accidents do occur for a number of different reasons, the drivers shouldn't always be at fault as this could indicate the company is hiring operators who are inexperienced, negligent, or aren't permitted to be driving a bus carrying passengers.
Tips for Those Who are Involved in an Accident with a Bus
Being involved in an accident with an MTA bus in Nashville can be a scary and traumatic experience that might leave you shaken up and unable to think clearly. That is why we are sharing some tips with you below on some of the steps you want to consider following if you are ever involved in a collision with one of these buses.
According to the Tennessean, TN law requires that you:
Stop immediately after an accident has occurred.
Provide aid to anyone who has sustained an injury.
Notify the police of the accident by calling 911.
You might also want to consult with a Nashville bus crash attorney as they can assess the damage done and determine if you are entitled to file a claim in an effort to recover compensation for this damage.

Railway Railway News
New Railway Line between New Piduguralla-Savalyapuram
July 1, 2020 December 2, 2021 irctcportal 0 Comments New Railway Line, New Railway Projects, RAILWAY, RAILWAY NEWS
New Railway Line between New Piduguralla-Savalyapuram Completed & Accorded Permission for Train Operations- Constructed as part of Nadikudi – Srikalahasti New Railway line Project
The new railway line between New Piduguralla-Savalyapuram for a distance of 46 Kms has been completed and commissioned for train operations. This new railway line is a part of Nadikudi – Srikalahasti new railway line project in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The maximum permissible speed with which trains can be operated in this new non-electrified railway line is at 80 Kmph.
The new line between New Piduguralla-Savalyapuram will facilitate direct traffic movement from Secunderabad to Dhone direction via New Piduguralla, bypassing Nallapadu junction. This 46 Kms new rail line will reduce the distance by approximately 96 Kms for the rail travel between Secunderabad to Dhone via Nadikude as compared to the earlier route passing through Nallapadu.
Nadikudi – Srikalahasti new railway line project is one of the important & prestigious projects taken up in the State of Andhra Pradesh by South Central Railway connecting interior regions of Guntur, Prakasham and Nellore Districts on the rail map. The project was sanctioned in the year 2011-12 for a distance of 309 Kms at an estimated cost of Rs.2289 Cr under 50 % cost sharing basis between Railways and Government of Andhra Pradesh along with provision of required land free of cost by State Government.
The project is being executed in 5 phases :
Phase-I: Piduguralla-Savalyapuram (47 km)
Phase-II: Gundlakamma-Darsi (27 Km)
Phase-III: Darsi-Kanigiri (52 Km) & Venkatagiri – Alturipadu (15 Km)
Phase-IV: Kanigiri-Pamuru (35 Km) & Atluripadu – Venkatapuram (43 km)
Phase-V: Pamuru-Obulayapalle-Venkatapuram (90 km)
The project has been taken up for the expansion of rail network in Andhra Pradesh State and it is conceptualized as an alternate route to the present Coastal Railway line between Vijayawada and Chennai. The present route is saturated and sometimes is subjected to cyclone and floods, resulting in serious rail traffic disruptions. The proposed new line will not only act as an alternate route but will also facilitate freight transport in this mineral rich belt, besides offering scope for substantial passenger traffic. The project once completed, will serve as the shortest route between Guntur and the temple town, Tirupati.
Shri Gajanan Mallya, General Manager, South Central Railway has congratulated all the Officials and staff of Guntur Division, Construction organization who have played key role in successful completion of this vital Project in Andhra Pradesh region. He opined that completion of this project has paved way for smooth and timely running of freight trains as well as enhancement of passenger trains. He also advised to maintain the same tempo in execution of the work for the entire project which will help in developing the region and will ease out the traffic congestion.

Organizations today find success by embracing an agile mindset. Whether through seasonal increases in staff or scaling cloud platforms, the ability to adapt as needs change is vital. Cisco, one of the largest collaboration technology developers, recognizes this value, which is why they offer a suite of flex licensing plans. These plans offer advantages to specific industries (i.e. education and the public sector) and allows businesses to essentially "mix and match" Cisco collaboration services, like WebEx, WebEx Teams, cloud, UCCX, and Cisco Meetings. Cisco flex licensing puts individual business objectives first.
In addition, Cisco's focus on the contact center means there are specific flex licensing plans for the call center. Specifically, Cisco offers a Collaboration Flex Plan Contact Center, which is available in multiple deployment models for the Concurrent Agent buying model: cloud, on-prem, or hosted.
Cisco's Collaboration flex licensing plans aim to simplify licensing. This is especially important as organizations move their business to OpEx IT spending models. Flex licensing enables organizations to easily deploy a hybrid IT model with both on-premise and cloud services and add or subtract services easily as your business grows and changes.
In essence, Cisco's Collaboration Flex Licensing plans allow you to use a single subscription that covers the software and technical support for the variety of collaboration services you might use. These service bundles provide simpler, more efficient servicing of your collaboration needs.
We're going to list out all the different subscription flex licensing plans in just a moment, but the key thing to note is that when you choose a collaboration flex licensing plan, you designate a buying model (enterprise, named user, or active user) for Cisco Meetings and a buying model (enterprise or named user) for Cisco Calling. Under each of those buying models, the various Cisco Meetings and Calling services are available. The type of buying model you choose is entirely based on the needs of your organization. A 500-employee growing healthcare organization is going to have very different needs than a 10-employee manufacturing distribution center.
In addition, collaboration clients work with a Cisco partner – like Mindsight – to determine which subscription is best for your organization and to deploy that service. Mindsight's expert collaboration engineers can help you find the least costly, most efficient, and best-suited model for your needs. Sign up for a Whiteboard Session with us today – our weekly free whiteboard chats – to talk through the needs of your business and receive recommendations on how to move forward.
Cisco Collaboration Flex Licensing plans fall under two primary categories: Calling and Meetings.
Enterprise – The Enterprise Agreement buying model, tailored to larger organizations, is governed by the Cisco Enterprise Agreement and is based on a minimum of 250 knowledge workers.
Named User – The Named User buying model is governed by the Cisco Universal Cloud Agreement and allows you to purchase all the features of Calling at a per user rate with no minimum.
Enterprise – The Enterprise Agreement buying model, tailored to larger organizations, is governed by the Cisco Enterprise Agreement and is based on a minimum of 250 knowledge workers. The Flex Plan Meeting – Enterprise Agreement offers both cloud and on-premise deployment as well as several add-on features.
Named User – The Named User agreement, governed under the Universal Cloud Agreement, allow a buying model of meetings at a per user rate with a minimum of 25 users.
Active User – The Active User buying model is based on a buying model with a minimum of (a) 40 knowledge workers, (b) 15% of your knowledge workers, or (c) number of paid active users under previously active meetings subscription plans. It is important to note that the payment obligation is based on the number of knowledge workers that host at least one Meeting.
The key value behind flex licensing is that it molds to the needs of your business. Instead of trying to bolt-on a subscription service that "just sorta" offers you the collaboration services you need, flex licensing helps you find a service-based subscription model that grows and changes as you do. Businesses that are ready to instill agility and flexibility into their culture are the best fit for these types of services. To find out more about flex licensing and how Cisco Gold Partner Mindsight can help you achieve the outcomes you want, contact us today.

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 8, 2015 - - The same vehicle that pioneered the hybrid category just disrupted the status quo again. The all-new, fourth-generation Prius starred in a spectacular evening production of music, food and special effects to celebrate an industry icon in a way that was anything but expected.
Today's consumers expect environmental credentials, and the new Prius delivers. Smaller, lighter hybrid system components, higher-energy density in the batteries, and an internal combustion engine touting ground-breaking thermal efficiency (more than forty percent), contribute to a significant advancement in fuel economy. With an expected ten percent improvement in EPA estimated MPG on core models, Prius will offer best-in-class fuel economy among vehicles without a plug. A soon-to-be unveiled Eco model will achieve an even greater improvement, strengthening Toyota's leadership in hybrid fuel efficiency.
But it's not just about MPG anymore. Today's customers want all the traditional benefits of a hybrid, but don't want to compromise on looks and performance. So Toyota upgraded the Prius inside and out to deliver the complete package - emotional styling, smarter technology and impressive MPG, in a vehicle that's more fun to drive than ever.
A palette of seven exterior colors includes an all-new Toyota hue, "Hypersonic Red." This new color utilizes a newly developed treatment process, which results in a deep and vibrant luster highlighting the external forms.

Randall, Frenship meet in unbeaten 3-4A showdown
LEE PASSMORE
It has reached its logical point after eight games, and after it's all over Friday night at Wolfforth's Peoples Bank Stadium, the winner will stand head and shoulders over the rest of District 3-4A.
Randall and Frenship, both sporting undefeated records overall and in district, will settle the argument over who the best team is in 3-4A. So far, both teams have faced challenges and turned back all of them, in most cases with little trouble.
At 8-0 and 5-0 in district, Randall and Frenship have clinched playoff spots, and each will be playing the best team they've faced this season. The previous five district games have seemed like a mere precursor to this one.
Randall coach Bryan Wood didn't necessarily see it that way until this week, though.
"This district is so tough you didn't have time to look forward to anybody," Wood said. "You just had to focus on that team you were playing."
And for the Raiders, that team this week is Frenship, presenting them their biggest challenge of the season. While both teams have been solid, Frenship has been dominant, as nobody has played the Tigers any closer than 20 points.
Randall has done the job with a grinding running game and some big passing plays on offense led by junior quarterback Collin Bowen, and with a ballhawking defense, which in the last two games against Palo Duro and Dumas has produced 12 turnovers, including 11 interceptions.
This formula has gotten the Raiders back in the playoffs and with a shot at the district title. It's a simple conclusion to reach.
"Our goal was definitely to get in the playoffs and we reached that, then to win the district championship," Wood said. "Did I think it would be this cut and dried that we'd be unbeaten and Frenship would be too? Probably not."
Much like Randall did last season in bouncing back from a 1-9 mark to make the playoffs, Frenship recovered from a subpar year last season to return to the postseason. The Tigers have done it offensively with a strong running game, led by Bobby Huey, who's run for 1,379 yards.
Now each team stands in the way of the other and an unbeaten season, with the two teams the only ones who can win a district title.
"We didn't start thinking about it until we got close," Frenship coach Brad Davis said. "When we were both at 3-0 in district, we started thinking that it could possibly happen that we'd both be undefeated."
It's not easy to predict how this game will turn out because both teams are strong on both sides of the ball. It helps the Raiders that they'll have running back Tyler Junell back from an injured ankle after he missed last week's 35-14 win over Dumas, but Wood thinks it would help if the Raiders can keep the score down.
"I don't think you want to get in a shootout with those guys," Wood said of the Tigers. "We haven't had 50 points in a district game this year, and they've done it twice (against Caprock and Palo Duro).
"We're not very complicated in what we do, and it doesn't change much from week to week. Our kids are real confident."

PAX Australia 2015 - We stopped by Australian IT retailer PLE Computers at PAX Australia this year, as they had some great stuff that caught our eye. They were pushing a very comfortable, and slick-looking line of gaming chairs, had custom gaming PCs on show, and so much more.
This custom system looked incredible, and was getting a lot of people stopping in awe and snapping photos of it. The color scheme really works with NZXT's custom lighting really displayed well here.
One of the cool things on display at PLE was this awesome HOTAS system.

With a voice like "gravel on silk", Brampton-born songwriter AHI is a rare talent with the keen ability to deliver a story with the ease and familiarity of an old friend. While it's undeniable that AHI's voice could easily steal any show, on his second album, In Our Time, he has learned to harness his instrument's power by balancing its range across a colourful landscape of tightly-crafted lyrics, driving rhythms, and catchy melodies. The result is a sublime collection of modern-day folk-rock set off by its singular, soulful sire, a group of eleven tracks as earnest and emotive as anything being recorded today, and one propelling AHI to the forefront of the contemporary Folk/Roots scene.
Debuting at #2 on iTunes, In Our Time skyrocketed to #1 on Amazon after AHI's captivating live performance on CBS, ultimately earning him the distinction of Folk Music Ontario/ACTRA-RACS Recording Artist of the Year; high praise from Billboard, American Songwriter, SiriusXM, and more; a sold-out US tour with platinum artist Lauren Daigle; 6 places on the 2018 GRAMMY ballot, including Album of the Year, Best Americana Album, and Best American Roots Song and Performance; and his first ever JUNO Award nomination in the category of Contemporary Roots Album of the
Year, establishing AHI as one of Canada's most promising new voices.

UK spy agency wants future tech entrepreneurs working for them
Vlad Dudau News Editor Neowin @avladd · Jan 2, 2015 07:28 EST · Hot! with 18 comments
Are you a fresh graduate and thinking of starting your own technology company in the UK? If so the country's spy agency, GCHQ, might have a great job for you in the near future.
That's because the government is considering a new program that will see promising tech graduates being employed by the GCHQ, the UK's version of the NSA. This wouldn't be for those looking to take on jobs in the spying field for life, but rather for a much more general public.
The program would take its inspiration from the successful "Teach First" initiative that encourages promising graduates to spend a couple of years teaching before taking on high-paying jobs at the end of their stint in academia.
A second source of inspiration is the Israeli Army which employs a very similar program. The best and the brightest in the IT divisions work for the military before starting their own businesses in the private sector.
"We have loads of talented people working for GCHQ – and there is no shortage of academic excellence," said a Cabinet Office source to The Independent. "The question is can we create a secure space where business can work with GCHQ and build an eco-system between the two.
The spy agency would no doubt benefit from the constant addition of young and inspired minds joining their workforce – not to mention by the lasting bonds created between future business leaders and the secret agency.
And that's where the whole program turns a bit nefarious. While it wouldn't take much to convince the Israelis to join their army's program, especially as Israel has a system of national service, things may be quite different in the UK where the GCHQ spooks have been mass-spying on the whole populace.
Lasting influence and a close relationship between technology companies and those with the power to spy on everyone doesn't exactly spell out freedom and democracy.

Central Park development – Australia's greenest mixed-use urban precinct
By OptiComm posted June 10, 2018
OptiComm is proud to be the provider of wholesale telecommunications and network services for the iconic $2B Central Park development in Chippendale, described as Australia's greenest mixed-use urban precinct.
Located opposite the University of Technology Sydney and close to Sydney's Central Station, the redevelopment of the old Carlton & United Brewery site occupies 5.8 hectares of land and delivers 235,000 sqm of prime real estate.
This ultra-green, 5 Green Star rated development by Frasers Property and Sekisui House, consists of 2,200 apartments across 8 towers, 25,000 sqm commercial office space, student dwellings, heritage buildings, new parklands, a 5 level 20,000 sqm shopping centre, a boutique hotel and a range of new community facilities.
Central Park's green credentials extend beyond the massive vertical green walls that grace One Central Park. Central Park houses the largest membrane bioreactor recycled water facility in the world.
The development also houses a gas-powered tri-generation energy system that uses waste heat from power generation to create hot water and chilled water which provides space heating and cooling to the entire development.
OptiComm's superfast fibre optic GPON network connects Central Park's next generation telecommunication and building automation systems. The network provides 100 Mbps Internet, phone, Foxtel, Freeview TV, video intercom, CCTV and connectivity for the energy monitoring system.
The renowned French firm, Ateliers Jean Nouvel designed the first residential stage of Central Park called 'One Central Park' which consists of two towers of 16 and 33 storeys. The eastern tower features a passive solar heliostat that extends from the upper levels with an awe-inspiring cantilever.
The heliostat includes a system of fixed and motorised mirrored panels designed to capture and re-direct sunlight into the retail atrium and onto the landscaped terraces below. By night, the heliostat's integrated lighting display comes to life in an art piece known as 'Sea Mirror', designed by Yann Kersale.
In 2009, OptiComm was selected by the National Broadband Network (nbn™) to roll out the initial stages of the network in Tasmania. Today, OptiComm is now the largest independent provider of broadband infrastructure with over with over 250,000 dwellings contracted, more than 85,000 dwellings passed and over 65,000 dwellings connected.
OptiComm networks fully comply with the amendments to Federal Telecommunications Act that were required to facilitate the Government's national broadband network regulatory framework.
OptiComm is engaged with most major developers including LendLease, Frasers Property, Sekisui House, Mirvac, Stockland, Greenfields Development/Urban Growth NSW, CIC, LMC, MAB, Villawood, Dart West, Investa, Rawson Communities, Villa World, Citimark, Moremac Property Group, Dennis Family Homes, Meriton and many others.
OptiComm has offices across Australia. If you would like to learn how an OptiComm fibre connected community can benefit your next development please contact the Sales team on 1300 048 054

John Kerry Says Obama Looks Forward To Signing UN Gun Control Treaty
04 Jun, 2013 by	John Hawkins
Barack Obama hasn't been able to impose gun control on the United States yet, but that doesn't mean he has given up on the idea. He can't wait to take another bite at the apple in Congress and in the interim, he's signaling his intentions by having his Secretary of State let the world know he's looking forward to signing on to a UN gun control treaty.
Secretary of State John Kerry says that the U.S. will sign a controversial United Nations treaty on arms control in spite of bipartisan opposition from lawmakers.
Kerry released a written statement on Monday saying the U.S. "welcomes" the next phase for the treaty, which the U.N. General Assembly approved on April 2 but which gun rights advocates on Capitol Hill fear could lead to new gun control measures domestically, reports Fox News.
"We look forward to signing it as soon as the process of conforming the official translations is completed satisfactorily," Kerry said, adding that the treaty is "an important contribution to efforts to stem the illicit trade in conventional weapons, which fuels conflict, empowers violent extremists, and contributes to violations of human rights."
…Supporters of gun rights have warned that it could be used as the basis for more gun control measures in the U.S.
Last week, 130 members of Congress signed a letter to President Barack Obama and Kerry calling on them to reject the measure.
Unfortunately for Barack Obama, he's President, not king. That means he can sign this treaty if he likes, but 2/3 of the Senate would have to approve it to be ratified and that's not going to happen. So, he can sign the UN treaty, wag his finger and shake his impotent little fist, but it's not going to be taking effect. The 2nd Amendment was here before Barack Obama came along and it will still be around after he's gone.
