● With the Fed turning hawkish, equity markets retreated from their record highs set last Friday, both domestically and across the pond in Europe.
● Yields fell with equities for the week, the yield on the 2-year dropping slightly, down -1bps and the yield on the 10- year falling -7bps.
● Economic data for the week showed that inflation is still hitting manufacturers hard with PPI coming in hotter than expected and housing data showed that the real estate market is still running red hot with both Housing Starts and Building Permits come in above expectations.
Fed Turns Hawkish
Retreating from last Friday's record high, the S&P 500 was in the red almost everyday for the week, except for Wednesday when Fed Chairman Powell made remarks after the Federal Reserves meeting. To combat runaway inflation, Powell announced that the Fed will accelerate the pace at which they are tapering their asset purchase program, increasing the reduction from $10 billion to $20 billion per month starting next month. After the dust had settled, the S&P 500 lost -1.94% for the week, with Small Caps, as measured by the Russell 2000, right behind it, down -1.71% for the week. The tech heavy Nasdaq faced the worse of the selling pressure, falling -2.95% for the week. European equities, as measured by the STOXX Europe 600, were down slightly -0.35% for the week after the European Central Bank (ECB) also announced a tapering to their asset purchases, but also promised that additional stimulus would be coming. Japanese equities, as measured by the Nikkei-225, was able to cling onto positive territory for the week, up +0.38%. With the week turning negative, a Santa Claus rally is in jeopardy, but not impossible. Looking out the next week, market participants will be looking to GDP numbers, as well as personal income and spending data releases.

Q: MongoDB query based on multiple joins There are many questions about joins and MongoDB but a lot of them have outdated answers that do not take features after Mongo 3.x into consideration. My question is how would you query a table with conditions on linked elements?
Here is an extremely simplified example
const Person =  new mongoose.Schema({
  gender: String
});

const Dog =  new mongoose.Schema({
  breed: String
});

const Team =  new mongoose.Schema({
  trainer: {
        type: mongoose.Schema.ObjectId,
        ref: 'Person'
  },
  members: [{
        type: mongoose.Schema.ObjectId,
        ref: 'Dog'
  }]
})

Imagine this is already in production and changing the schema is not a possibility.
How could I retrieve all teams with at least one member dog of the "Poodle" breed AND where the trainer's gender is "male"?

A: Putting your question in a different way: How to join more than two collections in mongoDB?
Assuming your collection names against model names are dogs, teams and people (Mongoose convention of pluralizing), following is one of the ways to achieve the desired result:
Dog.aggregate([{
        $match: {
            breed: "Poodle"
        }
    },
    {
        $lookup: {
            from: "teams",
            localField: "_id",
            foreignField: "members",
            as: "team"
        }
    },
    {
        $unwind: "$team"
    },
    {
        $lookup: {
            from: "people",
            localField: "team.trainer",
            foreignField: "_id",
            as: "trainer"
        }
    },

    {
        $unwind: "$trainer"
    },

    {
        $match: {
            "trainer.gender": "male"
        }
    },
    {
        $project: {
            breed: 1,
            trainer: 1,
            team: {
                _id: 1
            }
        }
    }
], function(err, teams) {
   console.log(teams)
});

In the aggregation pipeline we do the following:

*

*Take Dog as a starting point and match the breed

*Then use $lookup to join the results with teams and fetch those teams that contain member reference to "Poodle"

*The result set from 2 contains array of team (you can remove all the steps below the $lookup to see the state of results). To split this array into another document we use $unwind operator (team of say three elements will become three documents with parent fields replicated in all)

*On the new result set, apply $lookup again, this time joining people. This puts people in trainer array.

*Again unwind to split trainer

*Match the result set for trainer.gender "male"

*$project (select) fields that you need

The final result will look something like this:
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("596e5500b5174986059958a8"),
    "breed" : "Poodle",
    "team" : {
        "_id" : ObjectId("596e564fb5174986059958de")
    },
    "trainer" : {
        "_id" : ObjectId("596e54bfb51749860599589c"),
        "gender" : "male"
    }
}

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("596e5500b5174986059958a8"),
    "breed" : "Poodle",
    "team" : {
        "_id" : ObjectId("596e564fb5174986059958e6")
    },
    "trainer" : {
        "_id" : ObjectId("596e54bfb51749860599589c"),
        "gender" : "male"
    }
}

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("596e5500b5174986059958b2"),
    "breed" : "Poodle",
    "team" : {
        "_id" : ObjectId("596e564fb5174986059958de")
    },
    "trainer" : {
        "_id" : ObjectId("596e54bfb51749860599589c"),
        "gender" : "male"
    }
}

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("596e5500b5174986059958b2"),
    "breed" : "Poodle",
    "team" : {
        "_id" : ObjectId("596e564fb5174986059958e6")
    },
    "trainer" : {
        "_id" : ObjectId("596e54bfb51749860599589c"),
        "gender" : "male"
    }
}

Essentially, we have searched Dog and joined and matched more collections along the way. The root _id in the final documents is the _id of dog not team, so technically the result set contains dogs containing teams and trainers but you can regard them as "team" document. You could go the other way around, starting from Person and reaching Dog.
Also, the structure of the result is not perfect. You'd probably want a well structured format as population does like teams containing embedded trainer and members. With some tweaks in the aggregation pipeline, I'm sure a well formed structure can be achieved.
Lastly, this is different than Mongoose population, which is suggested in another answer. The major difference is that in this case you've delegated the task of finding the required documents to the mongo server, and obviously in one go. In population, the same would need too much client side processing and many requests to db. But $lookup works on unsharded collection, in which case you may prefer population or consider this answer.

This is the final post in my series about building a service relay for Dynamics 365 CE with RabbitMQ and Python. In my previous post in this series, I showed the Python code to make the service relay work. In today's post, I will show how you can use Azure Functions to make a consumer service proxy using C# so client applications don't have to access to your RabbitMQ broker directly, and I will also discuss some general thoughts on security and scalability for this service relay architecture.
Although this simple service relay allows external consumers to get data from Dynamics 365 CE without needing to connect directly, the examples I've shown so far require that they can connect to a RabbitMQ broker. This may be problematic for a variety of reasons, so you would probably want external consumers to connect to a web service proxy that would write requests to and read responses from the RabbitMQ broker.
Azure Functions Python support is still considered experimental.
Python scripts that use external libraries can run exceedingly slow.
Getting the environment set up is a bit of a hassle.
On the other hand, building a service proxy function with C# was so much easier, and it performed much better than a comparable Python function (~.5 seconds for C# compared to 5+ seconds for Python).
Create a C# HTTP trigger function.
Create and upload a project.json file with a dependency on the RabbitMQ client (see below).
Take the "RpcClient" class from the RabbitMQ .Net RPC tutorial and call it from within my function.
Here's a screenshot showing me calling the C# function with Postman.
Create a Python HTTP trigger function.
Install Python 3.6 via site extensions (see steps 2.1-2.4 here).
Install the necessary libraries using pip via KUDU.
Here's a screenshot showing me calling the Python function with Postman.
Note the difference in time between the two functions - 5.62 seconds for Python and .46 seconds for C#!
As for scalability, the approach I've shown creates a separate response queue for each consumer, but it can have problems scaling, especially if you are using a RabbitMQ cluster. You may want to look at the "direct reply-to" approach instead. For an interesting real-world overview of using direct reply-to, take a look at this blog post..
I hope you've enjoyed this series and that it has given you some ideas about how to implement service relays in your Dynamics 365 CE projects. As I worked through the examples, I certainly learned a few new things, especially when I created my Python service proxy in Azure Functions.
Here are links to all the previous posts in this series.
What do you think about this approach? Is it something you think you'd use in production? Let us know in the comments!


I've been reflecting a lot lately on mirrors. (Sorry, had to to that.) I love mirrors in decorating. Not only do they bring much needed natural light into a dark room, but they create an illusion of space and even act as art if hung in groupings on a focal wall or along a stairwell.
But sometimes a mirror just doesn't work. Here are a few tips for placing mirrors that might help you better appreciate them in your home.
Avoid reflecting light back out the front door.
This is feng shui (it is not good to reflect the chi back out the front door), but it does make decorating sense. Putting a mirror at the front entry so you see yourself entering the home misses the opportunity to see and greet your guests with a beautiful piece of art instead. Just move the mirror to another wall in the entry and you will still add light to the space.
Make sure the mirror reflects something positive.
Nobody wants to see your kitchen sink full of dishes reflected in the living room mirror. Make sure you place the mirror where it reflects a window or art on another wall in the room.
Hang mirror over the fireplace instead of tilting it on the mantel.
Hang mirror over mantel. Don't tilt it. But isn't this pretty?
What happens when you tilt a mirror on the mantel is that it most likely will reflect your ceiling and that's it. If you hang the mirror, it will reflect the rest of the room and will double the space. Also, just an aside… if you are staging your home to sell, a mirror in the living room is good luck because potential home buyers who see themselves in the home tend to buy it (not a scientific fact, but it has worked so far!).
Hang bathroom mirror so you can see into it.
It's okay to let the mirror overhang the bead board (or backsplash tile) as long as you and others can see into the mirror while standing in front of the sink. Although visually, you might be tempted to hang the mirror clearly on the drywall (above the trim work in this photo), in a bathroom, form follows function.
Make art with groupings of mirrors.
Organizing and hanging your mirrors either by matching shapes or frames (or both as above) or creating a random display of your mirror collection creates a unique focal point on the wall. Especially fun in a bedroom, stairwell or hallway that needs additional light but where the function of each mirror is secondary to its artistic arrangement.
Place your mirrors strategically to maximize their impact on the room. And for hanging really heavy mirrors, make sure you find at least one wall stud to secure the mirror onto the wall.
Mirror mirror on the wall. Be the smartest mirror-hanger of all!
Ready to Immerse Your Home in Color?
As with haute couture in the fashion world, we often look to hotels and other public spaces for trends in home color and design. Look no further than The William, a boutique hotel in New York, where each room immerses its guests in a paint bucket of saturated color punctuated by droplets of white for chroma relief. I am not sure if you can order up a particular color to match your luggage, but nevertheless, your experience there will be unforgettable.
Are we ready to move this color trend into the home? Some already have, but many of us will take a little while to move back into the rich dark hues of a decade ago. I'm just getting used to the freshness and brightness of white walls. But who knows.
If you are contemplating a project that involves intense color, start with a small space like a guest bath or a guest room where the color will make a huge impact and the cost of painting over it will be minimal. Make sure you have adequate lighting so the color will show "true" and you will not end up in a cave. And remember to punctuate your color with white or cream to make the color "pop" and add bits of black not only to avoid the I-got-lost-in-a-box-of-crayons look but also to add an air of sophistication to the project.

Braves' Andrelton Simmons -- not Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki -- is MLB's best SS, says Ozzie Smith
The Wizard is probably right in this context, but still ... ugh!
By Bryan Kilpatrick@purplerowBK Jul 21, 2014, 12:31pm MDT
Share All sharing options for: Braves' Andrelton Simmons -- not Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki -- is MLB's best SS, says Ozzie Smith
Dustin Bradford
Most old-school Denver baseball fans know a great shortstop when they see one. That's because, long before the arrival of the Colorado Rockies and eventually, superstar Troy Tulowitzki, a huge chunk of people in the region claimed the St. Louis Cardinals as their own. Those Cardinals, of course, featured Ozzie Smith, who is the best shortstop in the history of Major League Baseball according to most metrics.
So, when The Wizard talks shortstops -- and during an interview with the Hall of Famer during the All-Star break, I asked him to do just that -- it's definitely worth a listen.
"I always get put on the spot as far as that's concerned," Smith quipped, after I asked him his opinion on who is the best shortstop in baseball. "I presented the Gold Glove to Andrelton Simmons of the Atlanta Braves last year when he won his first, and I think he will eventually be one of the greatest defensive shortstops."
Smith stressed that he judges shortstops purely from a defensive standpoint, and on that fact, it's hard to argue with the 15-time All-Star. Simmons lapped the competition in UZR/150, Fangraphs' advanced catch-all defensive metric, in 2013, while Tulowitzki was merely in the top 10. This season, Zack Cozart of the Reds leads all shortstops in that category, but Simmons is firmly entrenched in the top five and still has a cushion on Tulo.
Of course, it would be hard for The Wizard to say that any shortstop in baseball is a better two-way player than Tulowitzki, but for a man who compiled 76.5 WAR despite having only four above-average offensive seasons, the glove understandably reigns supreme.
The 13-time Gold Glove winner played in an era that featured all-time greats such as Barry Bonds, Rickey Henderson, Cal Ripken, Ken Griffey Jr., Greg Maddux, Tony Gwynn -- the list goes on and on. But, when I asked him who was the best player he had the chance to play with or against, his answers were fairly surprising.
"I had a chance to play with Dave Winfield in San Diego and Dave was one of those players who could hit for power, hit for average, throw, run ... in the National League, he probably was the best all-around player." Smith, perhaps caught up in the moment of being in Minneapolis, also named another one of the area's legends.
"In the AL, it was probably Kirby Puckett," said Smith, who mentioned that Puckett had all of the same strengths as Winfield. "But if Bo Jackson would have stayed healthy, he probably would have been the first player to make the Hall of Fame in two sports."
Smith was at the All-Star fesitivies in Minneapolis as part of the MLB and Target All-Star Teachers program, which honored 30 of the best educators in the country prior to the All-Star Game last Tuesday. The campaign is part of Target's $1 billion commitment to education, a passion that Smith holds as a result of the educators that helped him get to where he is today: a baseball legend who is responsible for a number of post-career philanthropic efforts.

This Week in 'Canes Baseball: March 4 Edition
The Hurricanes begin ACC play this weekend.

After a 4-0 week that saw a win over USF and a sweep of the Towson Tigers the Miami Hurricanes enter a week that sees a mid-week challenge against the Florida Atlantic University Owls and the start of ACC play on Friday against the Pitt Panthers.
The Hurricanes perfect week saw them hold steady in most polls. With the Hurricanes a near consensus top-10 team heading into the start of the conference slate:

— Canes Baseball (@CanesBaseball) March 2, 2020
Despite a solid 8-3 start to the season the Hurricanes are still not where they want to be in many respects. Miami is second worst in the conference in batting average and slugging percentage, at just .249 and .375 respectively, and is in the middle of the road in on-base percentage. The Hurricanes strength offensively has been driving the ball out of the park, with 12 home runs, fourth best in the ACC, on the year. Heading into the later weeks of the season the Hurricanes' offensive approach will have to improve.
One notable bright spot for the Hurricanes so far this season has been improved defense. The 'Canes are the fourth best defensive team in the ACC right now, and if that can continue through the rest of the year Miami will have made significant strides defensively in 2020 as compared to 2019.
The Hurricanes have a tougher week ahead of them. The offense will have to improve as Miami begins to play road games more often, and as the competition increases as ACC play begins.
Mid-Week Game @ Florida Atlantic Owls
Miami plays their first road game of the season on Wednesday afternoon against a solid FAU team. The Owls were projected to finish second in the C-USA before the season began and have a legitimate shot to win the conference and earn an auto-bid to the NCAA Tournament.
FAU is off to a 7-4 start, but don't underestimate them due to their record. Every single one of their losses was to an opponent ranked in the Top 15, including a loss to No.5 Texas Tech, two losses to No.11 Florida State, and a loss Tuesday night to No.1 Florida. The Owls are extremely talented, and playing them on the road will be one of the first challenges of the season for Miami outside of the weekend series against No.1 Florida earlier in the year.
The Owls have gotten a great start out of Mitchell Hartigan to start the season. The sophomore outfielder is batting a team-leading .378, and is also second on the team in slugging percentage and on-base percentage. B.J. Murray has also been a key player for the Owls so far this season, with the infielder having hit three home runs already this year.
FAU's pitchers have struggled so far this season, with an ERA sitting at 5.71 through 11 games. It's important to remember that the Owls have played extremely tough competition so far this year. With Miami already struggling at the plate, taking good at-bats will be key on Wednesday.
Miami has placed an emphasis on mid-week games since Gino DiMare became head coach, and FAU has traditionally given them some of the toughest mid-week games in recent years. The Owls will be hungry for a statement win at home on Wednesday evening.

Weekend Series Vs Pittsburgh Panthers
The Hurricanes start ACC play with a home series against the Pitt Panthers this weekend. Pitt has traditionally been one of the weaker teams in the ACC over the last several years, but they're off to a strong start in 2020. The Panthers sit at 10-1, are on an eight game win streak, and haven't lost since the first Saturday of the season.
Pitt has also had a really strong offensive start to the season. The Panthers sit fourth in the ACC in batting average, second in slugging, first in on-base percentage, and fifth in home runs. Junior catcher Riley Walsh has been the Panthers best hitter so far this season, with a 1.397 OPS and two home runs on the season so far.
The Panthers pitching has also been strong so far this season. Pitt's team ERA sits at 2.55 on the season. Pitt pitchers have also racked up 122 strikeouts so far this season, notable as they'll face a Miami team that has been vulnerable to strikeouts this year.
Pittsburgh certainly seems like a strong opponent, at least stronger than usual this season. However, it should be noted that Pitt hasn't played an opponent like Miami yet this year. The Hurricanes are probably still the stronger team, but this series should still present a challenge.
The Hurricanes starting rotation has been elite so far this season, especially on Fridays and Saturdays with Brian Van Belle and Chris McMahon. Sunday starter Slade Cecconi has also been solid, although it's unclear if he'll start this Sunday after he was hit by a hard comebacker in his last start against Towson.
Miami will need to play well this weekend, but the expectation should be getting off to a winning start in ACC play. The Hurricanes will hope for a strong weekend at the plate and on the mound to boost them as they head into the toughest part of their schedule.
Date & Time: Friday, March 6, 3:00 P.M. Eastern
Hurricanes Starter: Brian Van Belle (2-0, 0.00 ERA)
Pitt Starter: Billy Corcoran (2-0, 3.12 ERA)
Television: ACC Network

Exposure to High Levels of Radiation May Pose Threat to Astronauts Constructing International Space Station
WASHINGTON -- As U.S. astronauts and Russian cosmonauts build the International Space Station, NASA should consider taking further measures to limit their exposure to radiation that sporadically occurs around the station, says a new report from a committee of the National Academies' National Research Council. Construction plans call for approximately 43 shuttle flights and more than 1,500 hours of activity outside the orbiting station, most of which will occur during the peak phase of the sun's 11-year activity cycle when intense solar storms can cause increased levels of radiation.
"An unofficial NASA flight rule specifies that changes in flight plans must be based on current data that reflect the weather immediately around the space station," said committee chair George Siscoe, research professor of astronomy and space physics, Center for Space Physics, Boston University, Mass. "Information about the size and shape of a solar storm and data on its occurrence, intensity, and duration can be retrieved from other sources, but under current guidelines, this information could not be used by flight directors to take immediate action. These rules unnecessarily restrain ground-based flight directors because other valid data could be used to assist in avoiding radiation exposure."
NASA should use existing equipment and models that produce real-time data on the intensity and geographical size and shape of solar storms, the report says. This is one of the most important projects that the agency can implement early in order to have an impact on reducing an astronaut's risk of radiation exposure during construction of the space station.
Construction began in 1998 and is expected to be completed by 2004. This time frame coincides with the peak in the 11-year activity cycle of the sun, which can include severe solar storms that emit streams of high-energy, electrically charged particles in the space station's path. This peak cycle also is combining with the station's orbit around the Earth, adding a new element of risk. Because of a change in plans, the orbit now cuts through high-latitude radiation environments that are sometimes quite harsh though not life-threatening even in worst-case estimates.
NASA originally planned a different orbiting pattern for the space station, but an agreement in 1993 to partner with the Russian Space Agency in constructing and maintaining the station altered those plans. A new pattern, closer to where Russia's abandoned Mir space station is orbiting, was chosen to accommodate Russian launch capabilities.
An electron dosimeter, which can help determine the intensity of radiation exposure by measuring the number of electrons around the space station, should be installed on the spacecraft as soon as possible, the report says. This piece of equipment can warn astronauts working outside the spacecraft of increases in radiation levels and prompt them sooner to return to safety inside. Key NASA and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) managers also should meet to consider ways to provide real-time radiation data and to formulate a plan for transmitting such data to radiation risk managers at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
NOAA's Space Environment Center collects space-weather data generated from government satellites. These data are provided to NASA's Space Radiation Analysis Group at the Johnson Space Center and made available to radiation risk managers. The safety of astronauts would be improved if these weather observations were to be used in models that accurately predict the weather immediately around the space station, the report says. Some capability to model and predict the space environment already exists, but NOAA is still in the process of implementing these models. Of more significance is the current policy of not providing "tailored" support to any other government units. The report recommends that the policy be changed to allow NASA to receive specific data that are not available from other sources.
The report also proposes revitalizing NASA's existing Radiation Coordination Team by elevating the group to a higher level within the agency. This task force would be responsible for managing the agency's radiation plan and would answer directly to high-ranking officials at NASA headquarters.
Exposure Levels
While these radiation events are not immediately life threatening, astronauts may be exposed to single doses of radiation that are the equivalent of several hundred chest X-rays. These levels would put them in danger of exceeding short-term limits for overall exposure and increase their chances of developing cancer later in life. In addition to health consequences, exposure to dangerous levels of radiation could interrupt a shuttle mission, impact future flight schedules, and alter crew rotations.
The study was funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The National Research Council is the principal operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. It is a private, nonprofit institution that provides independent advice on science and technology issues under a congressional charter. A committee roster follows.

shabby pink frantage, pink fragments.
Have a great weekend. Please come back tomoroow for our new challenge at Tilda's town!
Wow, I don't remember this one, Tamara. But you have definitely done her justice. Beautiful design and coloring.
To bi bilo pa res škoda, če nam je ne bi pokazala, ker je prečudovita!


Also, Wagner's goal should not have been allowed for the push on Bender right before the goal.
Great fighting spirit by Dortmund, though, and I am really happy for the comeback they showed to make it 2-2 under very unfavourable circumstances. Dembele of course was great, but so were Götze (very happy with his first BL goal this season), Weigl and Auba.

Posted on Last updated: 23rd May 2019 Categories Japan, Literature, Meet the Translator
By: Author Jessica Esa
Meet the Translator: Louise Heal Kawai (Japanese to English)
Here's our next installment of 'Meet the Translator', where we aim to talk to translators from around the world. We're catching up with Louise Heal Kawai, a Japanese to English literary translator.
Louise comes from Manchester, UK and is based in Yokohama, Japan. Her most recently translated work is the gripping Seventeen by Hideo Yokoyama. Her other translations include Ms Ice Sandwich by Mieko Kawakami, A Quiet Place by Seicho Matsumoto, and Yakuza Moon: Confessions of a Gangster's Daughter by Shoko Tendo.
How many languages do you speak and what made you learn them?
I studied French from age 11 at school in the UK and loved it, so went ahead and chose German as an optional subject. Then I majored in French at University, keeping up the German too for a while. The literature of both languages as well as translation were my favourite parts of my course.
After graduation, I moved to Japan to teach English, and my love of Japanese began. I still speak passable French but my German comes out as Japanese these days.
I became a literary translator after completing the MA in Advanced Japanese Studies from Sheffield University in the UK. (This used to be offered to people living in Japan as a distance learning qualification, but sadly not anymore.) My dissertation was an annotated translation of an excerpt from the novel Onnatachi no Jihaado by Shinoda Setsuko. It was a book by a woman about the struggle of OLs to find meaning in their lives and jobs, and it was the first full-length novel I'd read in Japanese. It took me forever but I loved it.
Shortly after getting my MA I tried out to be a translator for the Japanese Literature Publishing Project and Kodansha International, and my first few jobs were for those organizations. Following on from the theme of my dissertation, all of the authors I translated were women. Sadly, Kodansha International closed down and JLPP no longer sponsors translations. There was a several year gap in my resume as I tried to build new connections with publishers.
What are the best and worst parts of your job?
The best is the creative part. The joy at finding just the right word or phrase to express the Japanese. Or to feel that you found the author or characters' voices.
Second best would be the pleasure of holding in your hand a book that you translated.
And for a response that covers both best and worse, there is the delight of seeing a good review of a book you've translated that mentions the translator's name and even praises their work!
So many reviewers don't mention the translator, and one wonders how the reader imagines the book got from Japanese to English. I frequently read words like "flowing prose" "beautifully written" but all attributed to the original author.
Technically, those are the translator's words, based on what the author wrote, and it would be nice to have that acknowledged.
But the absolute worst is, without doubt, the business side. As with any other profession, connections matter. Getting to know people, and being known is vital. In the early days of my career I lived in Fort Worth, Texas where there was absolutely no Japanese literary community. Later I moved back to Nagoya, where still it was hard to meet anyone. These days I live near Tokyo and for the first time in my career I am meeting authors, fellow translators and publishers. To some extent your work speaks for itself, but having connections in the business is more often the way to get a translation job.
What do you wish people knew about translation? / What advice would you give someone who wants to become a translator?
That google translate is not a magic button! I wish that people knew that translation takes time and care and a human being! I am a member of a small group of literary translators who help each other and we call ourselves HILT (Humans in Literary Translation) as a pushback against the pervasiveness of machine translation everywhere.
To be a good literary translator, you need to be a good writer and an extensive reader in your own language. Every time you translate a novel or a short story you are rewriting it in English, and it has to be readable in its own right. It shouldn't be a direct word-for-word translation from the Japanese, which is bound to read awkwardly.
So my advice is read lots (in Japanese and English) write, go on courses to improve your skill (where you will also meet people and make connections.)
Are you particularly selective about what you translate? How do you choose which books to undertake?
This question would probably elicit a wry smile from most literary translators I know. The truth is, that with only 2-3% of all books published in English being a translation, and then a tiny fraction of that number being books translated from Japanese, there is not much chance for a translator to be selective about what he or she works on. The power is with the English language publisher and what they decide to purchase the rights to.
A translator can suggest a book, write a synopsis of it, submit a sample translation, but ultimately unless the publisher believes it will sell, they will not publish it. (And worse, they may pick a book that you pitch, but ask someone completely different to translate it.) Most of my work has come from offers from publishers to translate specific books. Building up a relationship of trust with publishers so that they will ask me to translate a book for them has been key.
How long does it take to translate a book, on average?
I've got faster with experience, but this really does depend on the book. Ms Ice Sandwich by Mieko Kawakami which was only 20,000 words in English took me two months. Hideo Yokoyama's novel Seventeen about the crash of JAL Flight 123, which needed a lot of research on top of translation and came in at 110,000 words, took closer to six months. These numbers are for the first drafts that you submit to the publisher. There is always further editing later.
How involved are you, in the promotion of the books you translate? Your views on social media?
Of course I try in my own way to promote the books I translate (and good translations done by my colleagues) through social media (Facebook, Twitter) but there are only so many people I can reach. I wish that publishers would use translators more in their promotion of books – after all, apart from the original author, who knows the book better than its translator?
However, the reality is usually once the final draft is submitted, the translator doesn't hear again from the publisher. It's a business and by delivering the manuscript we have held up our end of the bargain. Most translators' names do not even appear on the cover of the books they translate. (I'm still waiting to see mine!) There are exceptions, but they are rare.
Earlier this year though I was asked by a publisher to take part in a radio interview by the BBC, and I know of another translator who went on an international book tour with her author, so possibly things are changing. More recently I was asked by Farrar Straus and Giroux to write an essay on the issues of translating one particular book – Seventeen by Hideo Yokoyama. It was published on their website in time for the novel's US release.
If anyone is interested in reading further about the job of a literary translator, you might enjoy this.

Today I'm going to talk about how the recent tax bill has affected homeowners in our real estate market. There are a lot of changes in there that will affect a lot of Americans.
1. Reduced mortgage interest rate deduction. New homebuyers can now only deduct mortgage interest from the first $750,000 of their loan. The limit used to be $1 million. This change won't affect a lot of people locally, but it could have a major impact in pricier markets like L.A., New York, and San Francisco.
2. Fewer reasons to itemize. In order to claim the mortgage interest rate deduction on their taxes, homeowners will have to itemize them. However, the new tax bill calls for a near-doubling of the standard deduction and far fewer people are expected to itemize their taxes this year.
3. Limits on property tax deductions. Individuals are now permitted to deduct up to $10,000 of their property taxes, which is down from a higher figure. Again, this change won't affect many in our market, but it will have an effect in bigger markets across the country.
4. The capital gains relief for home sellers remains intact. There was a proposal to remove the capital gains exclusion in a previous version of the bill, but it was ultimately left in. You can still exclude $250,000 of capital gains on the sale of your home if you're single and $500,000 if you're married, provided that you have lived in the home as a primary residence for two of the last five years.
If you have any questions for me about these changes or how they might affect you, feel free to reach out and give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Q: C#, reflection, plugins, assemblies I'm a noob to this stuff. I want to make a C# program that uses plugins (as a way of learning). However, I don't understand where I'm going wrong here:
PluginClass = a.CreateInstance("MBPlugin");

PluginClass is of type Object. However it's always null. a is of type Assembly.
The assembly definitely contains a class named MBPlugin. So what the hell?

A: It would be unusual for the type to be called just MBPlugin with no namespace. You should provide the namespace-qualified name, e.g. "MyCompany.Plugins.MBPlugin".

A: One approach I used for some projects:
Create an interface IPlugin which defines methods you're expecting for all plugins. In my case, this was mostly a Register() function which gave the plugin the opportunity to do whatever it had to do.
Then use  Assembly.GetTypes to enumerate all types defined in the assembly and look for classes that define that interface (using typeof(IPlugin).IsAssignableFrom()). The go on and use these types.
Also you might want to have a look at frameworks like MEF which do (amongst other things) excatly what you want.

I was born in one place, grew up in another and now live in another. And yet, I'm of- again- another. Where does that leave me? What memories do I dredge up when thinking of my hometown? I'll tell you- it's a kaleidoscope of cultures, influences and dreams.
Each place has added to me, rather than diluted my being. I regale my kids with stories of my childhood; each one a potpourri of mystery.
My thoughts and words are flavoured by nuances from each origin. From the depths of my spirit, I never fail to find riches- spilling out as words- spinning yet another tale of my hometowns.
I love the thought of being an amalgamate of hometowns… so many things coming together in one.
The benefit of diversity and many different homes is many stories.
'Kaleidoscope dreams' —I love that. Changing country and culture is an enriching experience, even if it adds to the load of memories.
Kaleidoscope of cultures, influences and dreams. Love this!
Some kids struggle with lots of moves. I think maybe you are somebody who carries their "home" within themselves. I loved this piece.
I think you may be right😄. Thank you!
Yes, I suppose you are like a kaleidoscope when you move around a lot – all those little gems of memories moving around in your head! I grew up in Surrey/South London, moved to Germany when I was 16, to Ireland in my twenties, back to London and then to Norfolk. I often feel like my past never happened and then the memories come back, sometimes one at a time, another time all at once, and then again like your kaleidoscope, Viv, fragmented and colourful. I like that you say each place has added to you and that you share stories of your childhood with your kids. Your haiku sums it up well.
Sounds as if the variety enriched your childhood. Thanks for sharing.
Your Kaleidoscope of dreams is definitely a great resource trove for your poetry. The kaleidoscope is a nice touch.
I definitely feel that treasure trove when I write . Thanks, Dwight!
"a kaleidoscope of cultures, influences and dreams"….I don't know what could be more enlightening and enriching than that. I love your blending of hometown experiences.
you are one lucky soul to have been exposed to so much diversity. Kaleidoscopic indeed!
You are fortunate to be able to draw on a variety of places for stories. Children love to listen to you spinning them, I'm sure.
It's a blessing…..and indeed-they do!
love this. As someone who moved around a lot as a kid, this line " kaleidoscope of cultures, influences and dreams." resonated.
Ah, you and I are on the same wavelength – I too struggle to think which place is home, as I moved among many different places. I like what you say: each one added to you.
Thank you!😊…..we're on the same page!
I like your take on this moving about….it does enrich you.
Thank you!😊…I think so too.
I felt the feeling you gave in the words, that you made every place a special one in your heart. how beautiful to share it with your children.

The Appointment of Minister's Wife as Head of Procurement at ZESCO raises debate
HeadlinesThe Appointment of Minister's Wife as Head of Procurement at ZESCO raises...
The appointment of Minister of Green economy and Environment Collins Nzovu's wife, Shezzipe Banda Nzovu as Head of Procurement at ZESCO has attracted criticism from some sections of the society.
According to ZESCO's internal news publication, dated 17th January 2022, ZESCO's new Managing Director Victor Mapani unveiled his corporate leadership, which included among others, Mr Nzovu's Shezzipe Banda.
Although there has been no direct response from the Minister on either his Facebook page or the Facebook page of his Ministry, several pages are quoting the minister to have responded to the criticism of his wife being appointed as Head of Procurement at ZESCO.
According to the Minister:
"The media needs to be responsible and not incite hatred against public servants. The Managing Director and all new directors at Zesco are previously Zesco employees who are highly qualified but were victimised because of alleged belonging to the opposition.
Shesippie Banda Nzovu is a Zambian, highly qualified for the job and with the necessary requisite experience to run the department suffered the same fate. Shesippie Banda Nzovu is not a new person at ZESCO or in this department she has just been reinstated. The cream is back to Zesco and watch the space, Zesco will start performing again
This lady despite her high credentials suffered because of her acquired name, should she continue suffering because of the same name? isnt she a qualified Zambian with the necessary experience?"
And in a lengthy post on his Facebook page, former Ambassador to Ethiopia Emmanuel Mwamba questioned the reasoning allegedly advanced by Mr Nzovu.
Mr. Mwamba said that ZESCO or the IDC needed to advertise all these senior positions including that of the Chief Executive Officer, to help attract the best qualified Zambians to one of Africa's largest utilities.
Mr. Mwamba said that such a decision on ZESCO and many others in the energy sector can begin to place parastatals as drivers to the development of our country.
Mr. Mwamba concluded that, if President Hichilema is serious about fighting corruption, tribalism, nepotism, cronyism and favoritism, he should revoke such appointments and urge all CEO's to abide by an acceptable developed code of conduct.
Recently, Commerce Minister Chipoka Mulenga's wife, a qualified Engineer, Likonge Makai Mulenga, was also appointed as Board Chairperson of the Rural Electrification Authority (REA).
Energy Minister Peter Kapala in December last year announced the appointment of a new Board of Directors for REA to be led by Mrs. Likonge Makai who was an Electrical Engineer at KCM

And they said pf was corrupt. These monkeys have not even been in power for a year and yet they are already stealing. Their own president said his ministers are corrupt

It can not be in dispute on any given day that the ubomba mwibala alya mwibala regime was corrupt to the bone. There is no fire tender on this earth that can cost one million US dollar each just as there will be no booth and shelter called a toll gate costing 4.3 million US dollar anywhere in the world. The lady appointed at Zesco will have more value than the daughter to the former smiling minister at state house whos was sent into a diplomatic service
Ebukamushi January 20, 2022 At 1:57 pm
And what is this elephant guy saying "This lady despite her high credentials suffered because of her acquired name, should she continue suffering because of the same name?" What name is this? Banda Nzovu are all Zambian names. And from Lungu's region. So what is being invented here?
Deja Vu January 18, 2022 At 6:13 pm
Nothing wrong with that but integrity is put at risk. I remember one of our general managers after being appointed to the position, his wife resigned as hospital Matron. He wanted to be above board and transparent without confusions.
Spaka January 18, 2022 At 6:18 pm
Mwamba choses not to mention that the ministers wife was previously at ZESCO but Was hounded put by his corrupt PF because of her families political affiliations……….
I hope she even get back pay……..
Famous Kabwe January 18, 2022 At 6:37 pm
Let's not be petty Zambians. Does it mean that when one is in a political office then the immediate family can't get government or quasi government jobs.
The lady in question is suitably qualified period
Divorcee January 20, 2022 At 2:01 pm
Yes that's what it means. Ministers should have a code of conduct. Go to the UK where their families are not allowed anywhere near State owned enterprises and even in certain jobs in banks.
Maganizo January 18, 2022 At 6:43 pm
Emmanuel please put your gluteus down. We have heard you. can we please hear the other 16,999,999 zambians also air the opinion? Your own appointments you have held in the public service were not on merit but as a result of your machinations in forcing others out

You dont earn a job because you were previously victimised. It is about whether you are the best candidate in an open process of appointment. As it is Husband: Minister and Wife: Head of Procurement smells of nothing but nepotism. Its the stuff of tenderpreneurs. Companies linked to family and extended family will be sole beneficiaries of ZESCO's tender processes.

What is with this wanton habit of APPOINTMENTS in Zambia kansi? Why don't you allow fair competition, interview and FairPlay? Why don't you allow people to RISE through the ranks on merit.

Childishness being exhibited here through and through as some arguments are neither here nor there! Kaunda had introduced the leadership code that took into account such moral values and Zambians criticized it getting it totally obliterated under the MMD administration! There's been an ongoing cry for women to also have share in consideration for prime appointments which has slowly been receiving attention by successive administrations but currently women are also under pressure in that they are still comparatively few in professional categories (numbers) and they still are fighting recognition of their capabilities. Why then should it be an issue when both wife and husband have professional jobs then one gets the privilege of serving in governance administration? Then reinstall…
contd…… Leadership Code 2.0!
This Thorn in the Flesh January 19, 2022 At 12:09 am
There are a lot of qualified Zambians out there.
Advertise so that all may have equal chances to the jobs. These appointments are nepotism driven.
The last time I checked, nepotism is some form of corruption.
Yangu bankusa aba!

#7 Toilet Advisor… That's the point people are blindly missing. Having relatives in sensitive positions has more disadvantages in that whatever you do whether honestly or not people will misconstrue it. Above all we are fallible human beings…. someone very close comes to your house asking for a favour… how do you handle them…oh I will talk to my wife who's the CEO of the…. Oh banamwana, John Bunda will come to see you tomorrow etc. That's what we're talking about.
The fact that women have been crying for a bigger share in our country doesn't mean Minister's wives must get jobs meant for qualified but unfortunately have no access to such jobs because of lack of connections.
I LOVE ZAMBIA January 19, 2022 At 9:34 am
Bwana Minister please do not speak as if your wife is the only person suitable for that position. We are just doing the same things we condemned not more than a year ago. This appointment is pure nepotism. You may try and fool Zambians who are not privy to the happenings at ZESCO etc but we know the story. The ZESCO MD and his CLIQUE made this appointment along time ago and you are blinded by future opportunities you will enjoy from this appointment.

Ethically and objectively, it is wrong. The man would have used others to appoint his wife. He will fail to criticize his wife in case he errs. Khoswe akakhala pa mukhate sapheka.(meaning if a rat is on your bread, it is very difficult to kill it.) This minister need to be very careful. If he can appoint his wife, how many has he infused in the system without public knowledge.
OJ SIMPSON January 19, 2022 At 3:45 pm
This is childish and can boomerang on PF. There are many wives to PF members even MPs who work for Government and Parastatals. Should they be fired because we suspect they did not qualify or we simply favoured. Stop petty hared…….
albert January 19, 2022 At 6:38 pm
she held the position before. so there is no need to advertise as she had been appointed through promotion or interviews in the past
nshilimubemba January 19, 2022 At 8:38 pm
Zambia , is Zambia short of qualified people who can do those jobs who are not related to those already in government , this is another form of corruption we are seeing in this new confused government , government jobs must be equally shared with other Zambians which is more wiser than bunching the same people in the government.
Is HH so daft that he couldn't see how wrong this is, please allow other Zambians to participate in your government jobs it is really strange the caliber of this person in state house is he short of reasoning capacity or he is just corrupt.
This President is potentially creating problems for those families , however he knows what he is doing with his predecessors which is rather unfortunate doesn't he know that a similar character like him could one day arise and be more evil than he is doing.
Please allow other Zambians to partake of the government cake , this guy is a selfish character who doesn't deserve to rule a nation, what his detractors were saying about him they are now proving themselves right .

Dad and I had a great time in Boise. I had fun going over Katie's life story with her. We had practically the same childhood, so that was really interesting. Our teen years couldn't have been more different, so that was even more interesting. Dad and I left for home Thursday morning, very reluctantly. It was so warm there! Here at the cabin, it's practically winter. There was snow on the mountains yesterday morning. It has rained a ton here, with some snow, which didn't stick, but our deck project has come to a standstill because it's so muddy. The deer go back and forth and back and forth, clueless about where they'll hole up for the winter. There were a lot of gunshots yesterday, because of the elk hunt. The deer know they're next.
John cleaned our carpets Friday night with his magnificent machine. Dad helped him, and I holed up in the bunkhouse, where I stayed until 1 am. John and Dad were both asleep then, and the carpets were still damp, but there was a roaring fire going and it was 80 in the kitchen. By morning, everything was nearly dry. Nothing eats humidity like a wood-burning stove. John's machine cleans so well that the carpets look practically new. He said he's going to send Jacob and Aaron out to clean people's carpets when they get a little older. They won't charge much. Sounds like a great deal for everybody.
Dad's still very excited about his retirement, and he's learning all about Medicare and Social Security. Yesterday we drove through Wild Willow, the subdivision by our church, and he showed me exactly which houses he liked. None of them are for sale right now, but I'm sure the right house will appear when we're ready for it. Dad is especially excited that he only has 11 more weeks to work. He has always loved bus driving, but he's looking forward to the change. Naturally I'm not going to let him slow down. After our trip to Hawaii, I'm thinking he could work for Deer Valley, because of our great connections there. I think he can choose his own days, so we can keep up with chess club and the piano classes on Wednesdays. Dad's last day of work will be Friday, January 4th, and I think we'll have his retirement party that night. Everyone who's family, even remotely, is invited. We'll let you know the time and place when we decide for sure. And of course we'll pick up the tab. Dad's retirement bonus will easily cover it.
As most of you have noticed, I've started sending birthday presents through Amazon, because we're not close enough to visit grandkids personally on their birthdays. (Not to mention that there are a heck of a lot of birthdays now.) Sometimes I get behind, because I forget to look at my chart. The disadvantage of sending presents, instead of giving them, is that I don't always know that they arrived. I only assume it. If you could have your kids acknowledge their presents by a phone call, or a card, or a facebook message (though your account, of course) I would feel a lot better about it. Have them tell me they like the present, even if they don't. It's good training.


Working in South Africa can be any expatriate's dream with the country's flourishing job market, pro-labour policies and competitive jobs in various sectors such as Information Technology, Engineering, Accounting and Finance, and Sales and Marketing. Foreign nationals that are bound to this flourishing country must first secure the relevant documents to ensure smooth employment.
Anyone who is not a national or legal resident of South Africa and plans on getting employed is required to secure a work visa. Bear in mind that this country imposes strict rules when it comes to immigration and foreign nationals who will arrive without a visa will be denied entry and sent back home. Before, expats who wish to work in South Africa need to secure both a work visa and an employment permit. Now, the only vital legal document that foreign nationals must obtain is a work visa which will allow them to enter, work and stay in South Africa.
This visa is the commonly issued to foreign nationals and will only be granted after the South African employer has provided substantial proof that no local applicant was found to fill the job post. In most cases, the vacancy must be advertised to the local media to ensure that all South African nationals have been informed about the job opening.
Some qualifications and skills are deemed exceptional or critical by the South African government. This type of visa will only be granted to foreign nationals that possess skills that fall under the South African shortage skills list particularly in several industries such as architecture, agriculture, specialised financing, information and communications technology. The Critical Skills Visa is valid for a maximum of five years.
The ICT visa is for expatriates that have been transferred to South Africa by a multinational company. An employee must have worked for at least six months in the employer's foreign office before the intended transfer to the South African branch. This type of visa is valid for four years with no option for renewal.
A certificate issued by the Department of Labour. The certificate should confirm that there is no equally qualified South African national found to fill the vacancy and the foreign national has skills in line with the job. It should also state that the salary being offered to the expat is not inferior to the average wage of the local workforce that is employed in the same position.
Proof of qualifications. Must be evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and translated by a sworn translator into the official language of South Africa.

The city of Aachen (pronounced "AH-ken") in western Germany has a population of about 257,000 people. Aachen is known to French speakers as Aix-la-Chapelle and to Italians as Aquisgrana (reflecting its original Latin name). Aachen was the site of an ancient sacred hot spring, but is best known for its later association with Emperor Charlemagne.
The main attraction of Aachen is the well-preserved Aachen Cathedral, commissioned by Charlemagne in 786 AD. The unique cathedral has a round nave and notable Byzantine influences, and its treasury includes the coronation throne of the Holy Roman Emperors. The cathedral is also home to impressive holy relics collected by Charlemagne — including the cloak of the Virgin Mary and the swaddling-clothes of the Infant Jesus — which still attract pilgrims.

Council tax to be frozen next year
The Government has announced plans to continue a council tax freeze in England at today's Conservative party conference.
Council tax, introduced in 1993, was held for this tax year. Chancellor George Osborne has now revealed plans to continue the freeze throughout the next tax year (2012/13).
The Government cannot force councils to freeze bills but it is offering to give those that limit spending rises to 2.5%, the money they need to cover costs.
The move will be paid for using £805 million of unspent cash from Whitehall departments.
Money will also be offered to the Scottish and Welsh administrations, which will choose how it is spent.
Osborne says: "When so many bills are going up, council tax can be the one bill that doesn't. That's help for families, so together we ride out the storm."

Ukraine historical data and Macro-Advisory Ltd proprietary forecasts for GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, state budget, current account and currency.
Ukraine's economy has now stabilized and is showing a slow but steady recovery. GDP is set to expand by 1.2% this year and by 2.5% next year. That follows a decline of almost 10% in 2015. One of the big success stories has been the large cut in headline inflation from over 43% at the end of last year to under 8% this summer. It is expected that the pace will pick up in the autumn and winter but it should stay close to the NBU's target of 12% (+/-3%). This has allowed the NBU to cut its refinancing rate from 22% at the start of the year to 15% in mid-September.
Strong GDP recovery in 2016. Economic recovery accelerated into the end of last year, GDP expanding by 4.7% YoY in Q4. That brought full-year growth to 2.2%, reversing the near 10% contraction of 2015. That trend continued into 2017 but much of it is based on one-off factors.
Blockade a cause for concern. The trade blockade with Donbass is a concern; if it remains for long enough, it will hurt the economy. 2017 growth scenarios range from 1.5% to 3.0%. We have adopted a cautious approach with 2.1% for 2017, rising to 3.0% in 2018.
Agriculture has been a big winner. Ukraine became the third-largest exporter of agricultural goods to the EU last year. Its grain harvest increased 27.5% YoY in 2016.
State debt at 76% of GDP. At end-December, total external state debt equaled approximately 76.5% of last year's GDP.

HAUNTING FINAL POST
Daisy Coleman's mom Melinda wrote about holding her daughter's 'cold, dead body' before taking her own life
Megan Palin
Daisy Coleman's mom shared several heartbreaking posts on Facebook about losing her daughter to suicide just hours before taking her own life.
Melinda Coleman, 58, reportedly died by suicide in her Sugar Creek, Missouri home yesterday just four months after her daughter died in the same way.

The Sun has contacted local police for comment.
Just four months earlier, her daughter Daisy, 23, who starred in the Netflix show Audrie & Daisy, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at her Denver, Colorado home while on a FaceTime call to her boyfriend.
"There aren't enough I love yous I could have said when I was holding your cold, broken, dead body," Melinda's last public Facebook post read on Sunday.
"I held you like a baby anyway, my baby.
"The baby I held when you first came into this world.
"It has always been my greatest honor and joy to be your mother and best friend. Mama bear!"
Daisy dedicated the last few years of her life to advocacy for sex assault survivors

One day prior, Melinda wrote noted that it had been exactly four months since Daisy had died.
"My baby girl left this world with a broken heart and spirit," she wrote.
"Out of hope and full of despair. She took all her pain and worked to help others.
"Many used her and still are stealing her pictures and quotes simply for their own gain. The narcissists and users that have nothing to say so they steal her.
"The line became very blurred on some "friends", others truly loved her. More than she could see in that terrible moment.
"All she could see was the continued harassment and cruelty and the damage sustained to her poor little body.
"I'd like to challenge everyone to be kind and lift up others in pain, especially sexual assault survivors and those hopeless in this holiday season.
"Send out light and love and protect each other and I will protect and pray for anyone who needs it.
"Let's make this a Daisy Day filled with light, hope and love. Let's work toward a justice system that stops failing the victims of rape. Let's fill today with Daisy's light and love!"
Daisy had been struggling with mental health issues for years before her tragic death in AugustCredit: Facebook
Melinda, who also lost her husband and one of her sons, Tristan Ash Coleman, in separate deadly car crashes decades apart, has been drowning in grief for years, according to friends.
"You win Albany. I'm dead," she wrote in a Facebook post on November 18.
Albany is the town where Daisy was allegedly raped by high school football player Matthew Barnett in Albany.
Barnett claimed that the sex was consensual and was not ultimately charged with sexual assault.
The tragedy divided the small town and many people who were critical of Daisy's decision to come forward turned on the family and relentlessly bullied them online.
Melinda previously claimed the family was driven out of the town after Daisy came forward with the rape allegations and their home was burned down.
Safebae cofounder Shael Norris told The Sun that "there was still a lot of animosity" from some people in the town who continued to "spread rumors" about the family to this day. She said that "absolutely" contributed to her friend's death.
"I think that's when she just felt overcome by a lot of the (criticism)... it's hard to face that," Norris said.
"There were a lot of people angry with her and Daisy for bringing a negative spotlight on the town.
"People thought she lied and made things up.
"They had a very small town mentality about these things.
"Some people are just awful people.
"If you don't have your community lifting you up and supporting you and helping you through hard times that compounds everything."
Norris has set up a Gofundme page to raise money to support Melinda's two surviving sons.
In the days leading up to Melinda's death, she shared old posts from Daisy's account and wrote that she "just need(s) to cry for a while Missing my babies".
"I miss you extra lots today," she wrote in another post with a picture of Daisy on December 1.
Another read: "God has given me every single thing I wished for and dreamed of. My soul mate and 4 beautiful children. It just never seemed long enough.....I wanted it forever!"
Melinda's last few posts were all related to her childrenCredit: Facebook
In an Instagram post on Sunday, a SafeBae spokesperson said the organization was "in shock and disbelief to share with our SafeBae family, that we lost Melinda Coleman to suicide this evening".
"The bottomless grief of losing her husband, Tristan and Daisy was more than she could face most days," it read.
"Melinda was a gifted veterinarian, devoted mother and wife, and talented body builder.
"More than anything, she loved and believed in her children.
"It is no accident that she created some of the most gifted, passionate, and resilient children."
The statement also mentioned Melinda's two surviving sons Logan and Charlie.
It added: "Our hearts are with Logan and Charlie. There are no words for our sadness, only that if you are struggling with trauma or depression, you are not alone.
Sindy Strader, a close friend of Melinda's, said she was devastated.
"Why didn't you call me? You promised me you wouldn't do this, I will miss you so much my beautiful, sweet, heartbroken friend," she wrote in a Facebook post after learning of her friend's tragic death.
"I'm at such a loss for words right now. I can't even imagine how she was feeling in her last minutes. It so breaks my heart. She was so loved but couldn't feel or see it because she was so broken. She carried on as long as she could."
Daisy alleged she was raped by a high school football player Matthew Barnett in her hometown of Albany, Missouri when she was just 14.
And when she pressed charges against the popular athlete, the teen was bullied relentlessly online which led her to attempt suicide multiple times.
The 23-year-old never overcame her battle with depression.
On August 4, Daisy's body was discovered at an apartment in Lakewood, Colorado, after her mother requested police do a welfare check.
Cops were called to do a check on a "possible suicidal party," Police Department spokesperson John Romero told TMZ.
Yet, Daisy spoke with officers and crisis prevention paramedics for more than an hour – but never said or did anything indicating she wanted to harm herself, police said.

Melinda and Daisy Coleman both died by suicide just four months apart
Because of this, Daisy could not be legally held for mental health problems and she was cleared by medics, according to TMZ.
However, hours later at 8.30pm, cops reportedly got a call from a female friend in the same apartment building saying that Daisy had shot herself.
Melinda later publicly confirmed her death.
The 23-year-old was one of the girls featured on the 2016 Netflix doc Audrie & Daisy which detailed her and friend Paige's alleged sexual assaults when they were 14 and 13, respectively.
Before her own death, Melinda told The Sun the family worked "so hard" to keep the Daisy alive.
Daisy alleged she was sexually assaulted when she was 14
Asked what is getting her through each day, Melinda said: "Each other. We worked so hard, so many years of counselling, we did everything we could to keep her alive.
"Looking back on it now, it is pretty overwhelming. If there is never going to be justice for young people like Daisy, this will always be the outcome.
"I just think even in death she's making her mark, things need to change or this will continue to be the trend."
Melinda said she felt her daughter's suicide was a result of a "perfect storm" as she was dealing with a stalker and doctors had recently told her she couldn't have children, likely a result of her sexual assault.

While no one was convicted in her case, Matthew Barnett pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child after he supplied Daisy with booze and left her in "sub-freezing" temperatures outside her house.
An additional charge against another boy who allegedly filmed a sexual encounter between Daisy and Barnett was also later dropped.
Melinda said the tattoo parlor Daisy worked at in Denver, Colorado, was broken into just days after her death, with thieves making off with her sketchbook and tattoo machine.
"We are missing a lot of her sketches, a report was filed but we haven't heard anything else yet," she said.
Melinda, a veterinary nurse, had a handwritten note from her daughter, 'Love, Daisy', inked on her wrist using some of her ashes.

That's that other Mitch Williams, the "Wild Thing" former pitcher for the Cubs and other teams. Apparently Mitch has been claiming he can do magic, so we're going to have a little chat about it. Anyway I should be on the program around 9:15 AM EST, which is 8:15 AM our time.


At the worlds first Cybathlon, 74 athletes from 25 countries will be showing how robotic technology helps them in their daily lives.
In 100 days, the starting gun will be fired on the world's first trial of bionic strength. The competition's 59 teams, comprised of 74 athletes from all over the world, have been training intensely for months, working with participating scientists and companies to fine-tune their technology and carry out the last few adjustments. The technology and its users will need to be in perfect harmony by the time the competition kicks off on 8 October 2016 at the Swiss Arena in Kloten (Zurich). Only then will it be possible to effortlessly open cans with a robotic hand, hop from stone to stone on prosthetic legs, or move swiftly over uneven surfaces in a wheelchair. Thanks to the latest technology, it's even possible to use a virtual avatar to overcome obstacles using only the power of thought.
In contrast to the Paralympics, the Cybathlon is not focused on exceptional athletic performance, but on building the closest possible connections between everyday robotic assistance devices and the people who use them. The technology has been developed at some of the world's leading technical universities, such as Imperial College, TU Delft, and Cybathlon organiser ETH Zurich, alongside a number of leading commercial prosthetics manufacturers. There are seven teams from Switzerland alone.
As well as organising an international competition, ETH Zurich has two other goals in mind with the Cybathlon. "The Cybathlon preparations have really opened our eyes to the needs of people with physical disabilities," explains Robert Riener, Professor for Sensory-Motor Systems at ETH Zurich and founder of the event. "Too many of us know too little about the everyday problems that people with disabilities face in our society – that's something we want to change," he concludes. At the same time, ETH wants to encourage researchers and developers to work on new technologies that truly help their users in everyday life. To that end, a symposium featuring leading scientists will take place in the run-up to the Cybathlon on 6 October 2016. The competition is also intended to be more than a one-time event: future Cybathlons will focus on other topics; for example, how technology can provide support for older people. The perspective of people with physical and sensory disabilities will always remain the central concern.
This unusual competition is already garnering significant interest, not just among athletes and researchers, but also in the international media. As the host broadcaster of Cybathlon, SRF will feature a day of themed programming to accompany the event and report live from the arena.
