Last updated: 2017 Feb 12th

This is a list of tips and tricks for the [ESP8266](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP8266) module. I will update this page as I learn more about these chips. Pull requests are appreciated.

## Communities
Where to look for help and support.

## Power consumption

- Under normal operation the ESP8266 chip consumes around 70mA at 3.3v with spikes of 300mA. These spikes are really anying while building a power supply. A 1000-2200uF cap and reduce these spikes. Source: [#47 Power Saving with ESP8266](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SdyImetbp8).
- The ESP.deepSleep() function doesn't work unless there is a delay of 100 after this command.

  ~~~~
  ESP.deepSleep(1000*10000*3, WAKE_RF_DEFAULT) ;
  delay(100);
  ~~~~

- In deep sleep the ESP consumes around 0.06mA


Show an ordinary Bic-style pen. Talk about psychokinesis and people who bend metal objects by sheer mental concentration. Start to rub the pen. It becomes flexible, bending like rubber! No optical illusion here. The pen actually bends! Rub the pen one more time and it is again solid! Immediately hand the pen to a spectator for thorough examination! They can even write with it! Amazing.
The pen can be used for writing.

16 August 2020 – Shallow Grave
August 16, 2020 kevinisabastard
It's been a while since I've written anything. I'd like to say I've been busy but in truth I've just slipped back into my old ways of not being super productive. It is what it is I suppose. Writing about the importance of writing is such a lame idea.
I watched Shallow Grave for the second time this week. I watched it years ago and I could remember the vibe and the rough idea of what the story was but almost none of the details. It's Danny Boyle's first film. It's early Ewan McGregor and Christopher Eccleston. It has Kerry Fox who I don't think I've seen in anything else. It's very 90s Yuppie in it's style. The main trio of flatmates are excellent but horrible. They remind me of the worst kinds of bullies in school. People who would be relentlessly mean and think that anyone who took it personally were the problem. People who were artsy and cultured and liberal but also cruel and classist and snobby. And Shallow Grave does that really well. The early scenes where they interview potential flatmates is absurd but very real. Ewan McGregor's Alex is a work of art and a total wanker.
The film looks cool as well. The loft is a great location that drives the story. Once Christopher Eccleston's David goes up into the attic he really goes off the edge. The way he interacts with the location show where's he at. He hides the money up there – he's paranoid about what they've done. He cuts the holes in the ceiling – he's paranoid about the others but he's massively conflicted. It's all really well done.
Great film. Good times. Cool to see where these people started out.

2023 Changes to the HSR Pre-Merger Notification Thresholds, Filing Fees, and Interlocking Directorate Thresholds
On January 23, 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced changes to the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act notification thresholds and filing fees. The FTC is required by law to revise the jurisdictional thresholds annually, based on the change in gross national product (GNP). The 2023 HSR reporting thresholds will increase approximately 10%, reflecting the increase in the GNP during 2022.
In addition, HSR filing fees will change significantly in 2023 for the first time this century due to the enactment in December of the Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act of 2022. From now on, the FTC will adjust HSR filing fees annually based on changes in the consumer price index.
The FTC approved the changes to the transaction and filing fee thresholds by a vote of 4-0 and published the changes in the Federal Register. The revised thresholds will apply to transactions closing on or after the effective date of the notice, which is 30 days after publication, or February 22, 2023. Please note that the application of the HSR filing thresholds to transactions requires a thorough understanding of the statute and the complex implementing regulations.
Revised HSR Filing Thresholds
The HSR Act requires parties to a transaction that meets or exceeds the jurisdictional thresholds in the Act to file notification with the FTC and Department of Justice, and wait until the expiration or termination of the statutory 30-day waiting period before closing the transaction. Transactions that meet the following thresholds and will close on or after February 22 will require HSR notification unless an applicable exemption applies:
Transactions valued between $111.4 million and $445.5 million where:
One party holds assets or has annual net sales of $222.7 million; and
The other party holds assets or has annual net sales of $22.3 million.
Transactions valued in excess of $445.5 million are reportable notwithstanding "size of the parties."
Revised and Updated Transaction Filing Fees Based on Size of Transaction
Filing Fee
Size of Transaction
$30,000 Less than $161.5 million
$100,000 Not less than $161.5 million but less than $500 million
$250,000 Not less than $500 million but less than $1 billion
$400,000 Not less than $1 billion but less than $2 billion
$2.25 million $5 billion or more
Civil Penalty for Failure to File HSR Notification
The current civil penalty for violations of the HSR Act is $50,120 per day. The FTC adjusted the amount on January 6, 2023, pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 2015, which requires annual inflation adjustments based on a prescribed formula.
Revised Interlocking Directorate Thresholds
The 2023 thresholds under Section 8 of the Act that trigger prohibitions on certain interlocking memberships on corporate boards of directors are $45,257,000 for Section 8(a)(l) and $4,525,700 for Section 8(a)(2)(A). These thresholds became effective upon publication in the Federal Register, or January 23, 2023.

The NM Political Report (http://nmpoliticalreport.com/2017/04/17/a-look-at-where-mayoral-candidates-get-money-how-they-spend-it/)
Where mayoral candidates got campaign cash and how they spent it
By Andy Lyman | April 17, 2017
Candidates for the Albuquerque mayoral election filed their campaign finance reports over the weekend. The financial reports shed some light on which privately-financed candidates have raised the most money and from whom they're getting their contributions.
Right now, 16 official candidates are running for the city's top office, but only four have raised significantly large amounts of money.
Brian Colón
Former Democratic Party of New Mexico Chairman and one-time candidate for lieutenant governor Brian Colón leads the pack in fundraising. Most of his $350,000 haul came in large donations from business owners and executives.
The Albuquerque-based mapping technology company Holman's USA donated more than $14,000 through the company's president, vice president and sales supervisor.
Colón's employer, the law firm of Robles, Rael & Anaya, donated almost $5,000. Those contributions include $2,500 from Colón himself, $250 from former Albuquerque City Attorney Bob White and $500 from former Bernalillo County attorney Randy Autio.
Other notable donations to Colón's campaign include $2,500 from New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas and $500 from New Mexico Speaker of the House of Representatives Brian Egolf.
Between last fall and March, Colón spent about 12 percent of his contributions. About $20,000 of the $43,000 spent by the campaign went to Barndollar Associates, a local consulting company.
Albuquerque City Councilor Dan Lewis raised more than $100,000 since January and has about $146,000 on hand. As a sitting elected official, Lewis was required under Albuquerque's election code to file earlier and more frequently than other mayoral candidates. Lewis carried over $90,000 from his last reporting period after spending almost $45,000.
A large amount of Lewis' money came from local construction companies. Other big donors included local chain restaurants like Weck's and Wisepies Pizza. Former gubernatorial and U.S. Senate candidate Allen Weh and his wife gave Lewis a combined $3,500. Lewis spent about $7,000 on campaign consulting services from Florida-based Majority Strategies.
Deanna Archuleta
Former Bernalillo County Commissioner Deanna Archuleta started collecting contributions last May and raised more than $140,000 in that time. She and her husband personally gave a combined $10,000 to the campaign. U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham gave $4,100 in a personal donation to Archuleta's campaign. Archuleta's campaign manager Heather Brewer donated more than $5,000 worth of goods and services to the campaign. Brewer's husband Gordon Monaghan also donated $5,000 in cash to the campaign. Most of the monetary contributions to Archuleta's campaign came from relatively small donations, mostly less than $500 each.
So far, Archuleta has spent almost $50,000 to pay for campaign staffers, voter research, campaign fundraising services and banking fees.
Wayne Johnson
Bernalillo County Commissioner Wayne Johnson raised slightly less than $90,000 since January but saw his campaign buoyed by almost $22,000 worth of goods and services as in-kind contributions. A large portion of Johnson's contributions came from local businesses.
The owners of Albuquerque's famous Frontier restaurant personally gave Johnson $3,000 while one of the owners of TLC Plumbing personally contributed the maximum amount of $5,193. The two owners of commercial real estate company Midway Leasing gave Johnson a combined $10,000. In addition to donating to Lewis' campaign, Weh gave $2,500 to Johnson. Johnson's campaign expenses were less than $500 since January and included only banking and credit card fees and printed campaign materials.
New Mexico State Auditor Tim Keller is the only publicly-financed mayoral candidate and because of this was limited to how much seed money he could raise. Still, Keller raised almost $40,000 dollars in seed money, which will be deducted from the amount of public funds he receives. The Keller campaign spent almost half of that initial cash on banking fees and consulting costs. About $12,000 of the $17,000 spent went to Rio Strategies for campaigning services.
Other Candidates
Ricardo Chaves, a new addition to the list of candidates, loaned his campaign $300,000, none of which has been spent.
Michelle Garcia Holmes, a retired Albuquerque Police Detective and former chief of staff for former Attorney General Gary King, raised about $6,000, mostly in small contributions. She has spent only about $600.
Stella Padilla raised slightly more than $3,000 but spent about 80 percent of it on office supplies and rent for her campaign office. She has about $600 on hand.
Augustus "Gus" Pedrotty collected almost $2,000 in small contributions, none over $100, mostly from college students. A student, Pedrotty expects to graduate from the University of New Mexico in May. He still has a majority of what he's raised on hand.
Susan Wheeler-Deichsel received about $1,500 in contributions and spent more than $2,000 on office supplies and social media advertising, leaving her campaign about $700 in the red.
The six other candidates either did not file a finance report or reported no financial activity.
Candidate Lamont Davis told NM Political Report that he expected his campaign manager would file a report soon, but added that his campaign had a "busy political agenda."
Elan Colello told NM Political Report he is dropping out of the race to support other candidates.
"I am withdrawing to allow stronger candidates to win like Tim Keller and Deanna Archuleta," Colello said in a text message Sunday morning.
He said he will also work on "grassroots" campaigns aimed at making environmental issues a priority in the city.
The next big date for mayoral candidates is April 28. Candidates must collect 3,000 signatures from registered Albuquerque voters by that date to qualify for the ballot in October.
Keller, Garcia Holmes and Lewis all announced they have already collected enough valid signatures to do so.
Correction: This story previously stated that three businesses donated to Wayne Johnson's campaign. The owners of these businesses actually donated to Johnson's campaign personally.

With winter getting close it is the time to think about fall/winter fashion. That's why I was excited to review a Infinity Scarf from FRAAS. I love a good scarf and Matching them with outfits and making them fun. They have a great lineup of their 2012 collection.
I was sent one of their INFINITY style scarfs.
I love how soft this is and how great it looks on. My mom even tried this on and she looked great in it too.
Take Style 060542, the Fairisle Infinity, for example-- which is comprised of acrylic, nylon and a bit of wool. It is soft and extremely lightweight which makes it a great item for transitioning from season to season. It is also ideal for travel and almost any location and climate. It loops easily and requires no tying which is one of the genius things about an infinity scarf. Not only will it dress up and function with outerwear, it will look great with a sweater, dress or blouse, and as an accent accessory. Colors include navy/turquoise, camel/ivory, rose/petal, and black/grey. This particular item retails in most stores for abut $40.
Make sure to add one of these to a Christmas list or gift one to someone you love they will love it.
FRAAS items can be found at specialty stores throughout the country and are available for order directly from the company by calling 212-575-0191. Select styles are also available at Amazon .

A pure and dignified race for knowledge, I pursue it with a friend. Studying hard, and study we do, we laugh, and we fall silent. We ask, and we respond. We reach out, and we are saved.
I keep my eyes on the prize of knowledge, knowing in my heart what it is worth. My failures are successes. My fears, courage. And my weaknesses soon turn to strength.
My friend watches, bewildered. Frustration grows with every passing day. Mistakes pile up in mind and heart. And impatience boils over, only to be calmed by self-praise.
My friend wanted a grade, the fruit, while I pursued the seed. Had I achieved sweet fruit or not, I remain victorious. Had he achieved his grade or not, unfruitful in my mind was his deed.
Tomorrow, my friend appreciates me not for being there when he needed me most, nor does he invite. Complaining and muttering about how far he walked, and how little he slept for a grade.
Tomorrow, my friend tries to pull me down in hopes of catching up. He speaks non-truths about my work, and his honour dims down and fades. He did not convince me, nor himself that what he did he did for good. He does not pull me down, for my strength lies beyond his reach, and his fingers slip away.


Year: B(II). Psalm week: 1. Liturgical Colour: Violet.
Always, wherever we may be, we carry with us in our body the death of Jesus, so that his life may equally be manifested in our body. While we are still alive, we are consigned to our death every day, for the sake of Jesus, so that in our mortal flesh the life of Jesus, too, may be openly shown.
Beloved, if you can have some share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, because you will enjoy a much greater gladness when his glory is revealed. It is a blessing for you when they insult you for bearing the name of Christ, because it means that you have the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God resting on you.

The proposed Mandatory Internet Filter legislation has not yet been drafted.
Given the current legislative back log in the Senate and the likely timing of the next federal election, it is unlikely that the Internet Filter laws will be passed by this parliament. This means that there should be plenty of opportunity to present the case against this to the politicians at a time when they are most sensitive – just before and during an election campaign.
The whole proposal continues to go from one farce to the next with Conroy trying to convince the Americans that they should follow his lead.
At least they have First Amendment rights that would prevent this nonsense happening there (unlike Australia that does not have a Bill of Rights).

Can Molecular Hydrogen Help Slow Down the Ageing Process?
By Edelle June 19th 2020 No Comments
WHAT IS MOLECULAR HYDROGEN?
Molecular hydrogen (H2) contains two atoms of hydrogen (H), the most abundant and lightest element in the universe. H2 is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas, which was classically thought to have no effect in the body. This view is quickly changing, however, as various biochemical, physiological, and health-promoting effects of H2 are being discovered.
Recent studies have shown that molecular hydrogen is a highly selective antioxidant that may protect essentially all organs, including the brain, against oxidative stress. The biological effects of H2 translate to numerous health benefits—so many, in fact, that hundreds of scientific publications now exist.
Hydrogen can be administered by inhalation or oral supplementation. For practical daily use, measurable benefits can be achieved by drinking pure water saturated with H2.
Hydrogen water is water into which molecular hydrogen has been dissolved, and some researchers have found the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties of H2 water to benefit quality of life and the ageing process.
HOW DO WE AGE?
"The common denominator that underlies all modern theories of biological ageing is change in molecular structure and, hence, function." – Leonard Hayflick, Professor of Anatomy at the University of California, San Francisco, and researcher on ageing.
Research continues to try and determine the intricacies of the ageing process and what causes its acceleration. But whatever the reason, it is more of a multifactorial synergistic process than just single cause.
There are many contributors to ageing including free radical damage, gene expression and DNA changes, inflammation and mitochondrial function decline. Loss of Nrf2, which helps to upregulate our cells' antioxidant defence system, is also a contributor as well as reduced telomere length.
So, it may be interesting to know that within the hundreds of studies looking into the benefits of molecular hydrogen (H2), it appears to have a positive effect on ALL of these.
The exact way in which this important little molecule works is unknown. Still, it does appear to be a novel and powerful antioxidant which can effect gene expression, suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines (inflammatory messenger chemicals), reduced oxidative stress, activated the Nrf2 antioxidant transcription factor and can help prevent cellular damage.
Your diet, emotions, exercise, sleep patterns, level of mental stimulation, alcohol and drug intake, weight, exposure to environmental toxins and socioeconomic status can all contribute to your ageing process. They can alter your DNA and gene expression and increase free radical damage and inflammation – the primary drivers of ageing.
Research suggests that DNA changes throughout someone's life can significantly increase their susceptibility to heart conditions and other age-related diseases.
Your gene expression and response to your lifestyle and environment can determine whether you will be prone to accelerated ageing.
It's also a common belief that excessive oxidative stress (free radical damage) and prolonged low-level inflammation are precursors to chronic disease. This includes those associated with biological ageing such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis and cancer. We will be talking about the positive benefit of molecular hydrogen on these in our later blogs
SO HOW CAN MOLECULAR HYDROGEN HELP?
A modest amount of oxidative stress is normal and plays an important role in our very existence. Nitric oxide, for example, is an oxidant that triggers necessary cellular signalling pathways and processes such as vasodilation. However, when the body is put into a highly stressed state, which can exist in acute injury, progressive disease, or treatment for a condition like cancer, the threshold above which these and other oxidants can be beneficial is exceeded. Chronic oxidative stress is one of the major contributors to many lifestyle-related and progressive diseases, as well as the process of ageing. Studies suggest that H2 selectively reduces excessive amounts of tissue oxidants in many different diseases.
In 2007, a ground-breaking article published in Nature altered the face of research on ageing. It revealed the powerful antioxidant capacity of hydrogen gas and its ability to protect cells from damage by selectively scavenging toxic free radicals.
Acute free radical damage (or oxidative stress) causes inflammation and destruction to cells and tissues. Over time, this leads to all manner of chronic disease, including cancer.
In addition to mopping up free radicals, H2 activates the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) cell-signaling pathway, an intrinsic mechanism of defense against oxidative stress. Nrf2 turns on the transcription of antioxidant elements, detoxification enzymes, and proteins required for glutathione synthesis and recycling. The impact of treatment with H2 on Nrf2-related antioxidant protection has been shown to extend up to eight hours after H2 is no longer detectible in the cellular medium.
In addition to its antioxidant effects, H2 helps counteract systemic inflammation. Animal and human studies suggest a potential role for H2 in the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions. H2 helps reduce the inflammatory cascade triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, also known as endotoxin) which often is attributable to dysbiosis (imbalance of bacteria) in the gut.
HYDROGEN-RICH WATER MAY BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST AGEING
As H2-water has anti-oxidative effects which may help to inhibit age-related inflammation and tissue damage, researchers ran a trial to see if it could protect against ageing periodontal tissue in rats. After consuming hydrogen water up until 16 months, the experimental group of rats had lower levels of oxidative tissue damage compared to the controlled group who drank distilled water.
Stress and other negative emotions take their toll on ageing too, and one 2018 study found that after drinking hydrogen water for four weeks, participants experienced improvements in mood and anxiety markers. It also enhanced the autonomic nervous system.
An animal study published in Nature in 2018, meanwhile, found that hydrogen-rich water has the potential to suppress vascular ageing. For more information about ongoing research into the possible therapeutic benefits of molecular hydrogen and hydrogen water, visit the Molecular Hydrogen Institute.
There are lots of expensive options out there, but if you would like something more affordable, we recommend the Biocera alkaline jug and filters. This stands out from regular filters and transforms tap water into alkaline, mineral-dense, hydrogen-rich water.
We always encourage you to do your own research and draw your own conclusions about any topics we discuss. But if you feel that you would benefit from drinking hydrogen water, we proudly stand behind our products.
Whether orally administered as water, inhaled as gas, or injected or intravenously administered as a saline infusion, there is a growing body of research supporting the role of molecular hydrogen in the slowing of the ageing process, and treatment and prevention of some age-related diseases.
More information for the more technical!!!!
If you have not taken a look at the medical research surrounding molecular hydrogen, you are missing out on a nutritional tool with a broad biological impact. In 2007, hydrogen first made its mark as a nutritional therapy, and since then, we have seen an abundance of clinical and preclinical studies investigating the benefits it may offer in numerous diseases, as well as for health optimization.
Since 2007, several studies have shown that molecular hydrogen has healing potential that goes way beyond merely selecting hydroxyl. H2 shows promise as an effective therapeutic for a catalogue of health issues and diseases including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment, heart and vascular disease, strokes, metabolic disease, liver damage, brain injury, and organ transplant.
Molecular hydrogen has shown an ability to control cell signalling and gene expression resulting in the suppression of inflammation and oxidative stress. It also appears to activate the Nrf2 antioxidant transcription factor, helping to reduce inflammatory injury.
H2 has the potential to improve the levels or activity of SIRT 1, one of the seven known intracellular proteins called sirtuins. These are integral to the ageing process and are nicknamed 'longevity proteins'.
Telomeres are stretches of DNA and proteins that form the ends of our chromosomes. Each time our cells divide, the telomere length shortens. There's a point at which they can't get any shorter, and this ultimately results in cell death.
While telomere shortening is associated with tumour suppression, it is also linked to limited stem cell function, regeneration and organ maintenance during ageing. It's also connected with an increased age-related chronic disease and cancer risk.
Once more, molecular hydrogen shows a promising ability to slow the ageing process, this time by modulating telomerase activity which is the enzyme responsible for maintenance of the length of telomeres.
While all this research is positive and ongoing, it's important to note that it is a work in progress and remains inconclusive. Although there are some human studies, many tend to be small and animal or cultured cell-based.
For example, cultured cell studies using hydrolysed water showed that it was able to penetrate cellular membranes and function as an antioxidant in human liver cells. Within other human cells, it was also able to modulate glucose uptake, insulin signalling and SIRT 1 activity, as well as protect telomeres from degradation.

Next PostYour Genes Are Not Your Fate


Two 5th graders have appeared at your classroom door. "May we schedule a survey in your class, please?" Of course you want to know what this is about so you ask. The students explain that they are reading about hydrogenated oils in the foods we buy in the grocery store. They read a recent Time For Kids article in class, and it inspired them to do further research.
The students are assessing opinions to see if they have enough support to ask legislators to add information about hydrogenated oils to food labels. First, they want to share what they learned about the issue with your students. Then, they want to survey each class so they have statistics to share in the letter they're writing.
Hands shoot up and almost everyone wants to know more. You are impressed with the researchers' knowledge, their passion for the subject and their ability to articulate the facts to your students. You look at the clock. Thirty minutes just flew by. You realize the girls completed their pitch. You're as interested as they are. "Go ahead and do your survey right now," you suggest.
You think back to when you were in school: lists of assignments on the board, students dutifully copying them down, reading chapters of the text, teachers screaming when the work wasn't done. Your seventh grade teacher slapped the desks hard with a yardstick and then lectured on the value of doing schoolwork. "OK. Pop quiz time," she'd announce as if that would make the kids who didn't care start to care.
"Times have changed," you think to yourself. You smile as you watch the animated little teachers in full swing.
Such is the life of a classroom engaged in inquiry projects. Intermediate students love a good fight. Capitalize on this characteristic and you just might harness their energy and save the planet.
Worried about Common Core? Turn students loose to investigate what they care about and they will learn all the standards - and they will be leading the way. They will know the content objectives, too.
In an inquiry classroom, students read – volumes! They also explore a topic thoroughly, validate a series of sources and become mini-experts. Could these girls do what they did without reading? Picture the room. It is full of books and articles – first- and second-hand sources - of all kinds that you and your students bring in. Reading nonfiction is a regular part of the day. Through investigating, students learn and remember vocabulary in context. They even keep vocabulary notebooks.
Challenging texts? Heck, yeah. Learning to read with a dictionary beside them is normal for these students, because they are invested and they want to know. Students will ask questions, too - about how to read better. Reading is the pathway to the end result. They have to know and you will be there to answer their questions. You will model decoding, comprehension and fluency skills and whatever else students require. You will know what to teach because they will tell you what they need.
Students will know first-hand about resources, too. They will discover the differences among and usefulness of almanacs, encyclopedias and the Internet. You won't have to tell them and they won't tune you out. You are the expert at finding information. You will find the resources so they can put their hands on them and find or not find what they need. They will come to you when they need to know. Reading instruction will be covered, hands down.
Students who investigate know writing from both sides of the fence: as readers and authors. As a result of studying mentor texts, students play with what works. They learn how to embed quotes, for example, by analyzing what authors selected to include in nonfiction writing and how they put the quotes in the writing. Your readers and writers will know text structures because they will deconstruct how authors put the text together. How does the article begin? How does the author finish? As a result, your writers will imitate similar texts on their own.
With you as their guide, your students will learn how to write persuasively. They will even use the power of narrative stories scattered throughout to soften their readers' hearts. Knowing an author's purpose will be a no-brainer, because the students are authors and they know just what they want to accomplish. Spelling and grammar matter too, because the writing will be published.
Investigators cannot be shy. Like the students who came to explain their Time For Kids project, investigators learn how to speak publicly. Your students will work together to get the job done, especially as the deadline draws near. They will search for articles to share with one another because they will come across them in their research and redirect them to the right people. They will pitch in and help one another on several projects at one time in order to meet deadlines. Readers will plan their day and write to you about what they accomplished.
And you? You are their coach, showing them how to get the job done in a way that will be heard. Students will be working with you, not against you, because you're all going in the same direction. Gone will be the days of begging them for homework or class work. The consequence will be standing in front of an audience, a video camera, or the even principal with nothing to say. Over time, even the most stubborn child learns he wants to say something, too.
How do I know? Because my intermediate students were steeped in inquiry projects in my classroom. They once wrote an 8-chapter novel and produced several movies. Everything I tell you in this article has happened in my classrooms. Students were engaged at the highest, possible levels - unlike anything I dreamed possible back in college.
And the girls who came to my room? The article my colleague's students wrote was published in Time For Kids. The company made a video about their project and showed it at their convention.
What about end-of-year tests, you might ask? By the end of these studies, students are prepared. Tests are easy when students explore the world deeply. These projects are the most difficult puzzles and require thinking, planning, organizing, collaborating and revising. Besides, our tests are literacy tests. They measure whether children can read and write. When children read and write on a daily basis about what they care about, they will remember how on test day.
The students who wrote the novel and the students who wrote the article for Time For Kids scored the highest in the school. How could it have turned out any other way?

Hustle Knowledge: AJ Tracey
AJ Tracey has fully embraced the music game that he's quietly been warming up for since he started rhyming at just six-years-old. Following in the footsteps of his Trinidadian rapper father who once had a No.1 video on MTV and his Welsh mother, who used to play jungle and NWA on pirate radio stations, he takes his craft seriously while dropping Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh references into his bars. Keeping up with his south London mates Elf Kid and Novelist, with a summer of festivals ahead of him and a mouth full of gold, AJ is dropping spirit bomb after spirit bomb.
AJ started making waves in the pirate radio scene in 2014 and has since stopped at nothing to bring a raw and unadulterated sound to the masses. Whether it's sets on Rinse alongside his crew, MTP (My Team Paid), street singles with rising talents like Santan Dave and Reeko Squeeze, or collaborations with big names like Gorgon City,Tinchy Stryder and P Money, over recent years, AJ has proven himself to be one to watch.
He has just dropped a brand new solo single, Leave Me Alone, along with a video that takes us from the wet pavements, bus stops and corner shops of his West London neighborhood, Ladbroke Grove, to the sweaty confines of a packed out festival tent where the crowd rap along to his every word.
AJ has had his track "Naila" chosen by the U.K.'s BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac as her first Free Music Monday download. "Naila" is taken from hisAlex Moran EP—a five track free download which features Jammz and Merky ACE, two of the best MCs in London. In one freestyle alone you can expect to hear AJ charismatically hype talk, use different flows, and hold a skippy chorus—which currently seems to be the formula to breaking down mainstream barriers.
Aj Tracey has been noted as THE grime emcee to watch on 2016. We are honored to bring him to Denver for his debut and look forward to what this badman has to offer the future of a genre we never thought would make its way to America. Make sure to check him out this week at Electronic Tuesdays at Cervantes Other Side.

Q: Unable to get data from array i'm facing a problem trying to access data into an array which contain some image URL.
Each time i try to create my image, my application never stop to load, , and make a loop, by the way my array never stop to be filled.
This is my code :
class swipe : UIViewController, KinderDelegate {

    var urls = [NSURL!]()
    var pictureApp: String!

    func fetchdata(int: Int, completion: (()->())?) {

         for repo in repo {
                    urls.append(NSURL(string: repo.picture_url!)!)
                    dump(repos)
                    i++
                    NSLog("nombre de line = %i", PicArray.count)

                    pictureApp = repo.picture_url
         }

        if let img = imageCache[pictureApp!] {
                    let newCard = Model()
                    newCard.image = img
                    print("image présente")
        }else {

            for url in urls{
               if #available(iOS 8.0, *) {
                  let newCard = Model()
                  dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(QOS_CLASS_BACKGROUND, 0)) {
                     if let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url) {
                              let image = UIImage(data: data)!
                              newCard.image = (image: image)
                              dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                                        newCard.image
                              }
                     }
                  }
                  self.data.append(newCard)
               }
            }
       }

       if self.data.count == 4 {
          completion!()
          return
       } else {
          self.fetchData(0, completion: completion)
       }
   }

}

How can i exploit the URLs which are in my array to create some image ?

A: Like suggested by Azzaknight , i tried with the loop "repo for repos" and changed my code for that :
do {
    data = try NSData(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: repo.picture_url!)!, options: NSDataReadingOptions.DataReadingMappedIfSafe)
     let image = UIImage(data: data!)!
      newCard.image = (image: image)
       dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                                        newCard.image
                                    }
                                }
                                catch {
                                    print("Handle \(error) here")
                                }
                       }
              }
              self.data.append(newCard)
           }

Everything work now !


Some of our rugs can start out quite rough looking as you can see from the pictures. There are quite a few factors that determine how nice a rug will turn out. Breeding, not all breeds produce nice soft wool. Also the care and nutrition the animal received can determine how a rug will turn out.
Rugs can average anywhere from 14" - 48+" long, and be 20"-30" wide. All rugs vary. Some are soft, some are less than soft, some are short, some are very long and shaggy. Some are extremely clean, and some have tiny bits of vegetable matter in them. We do not use any machinery other than a hose to process these rugs. They are not perfect, which is why they are affordable.
Our Natural Colors are rare for us to have. Since Tunis are always white most of our fleeces are off white. Once in a while someone will give us a Natural Colored hide or one of our Romney X girls will give us a colored lamb.

Mary Bush
Associate Professor of Restorative Dentistry
University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine
Forensic dentistry, bite mark analysis, victim identification
Mary Bush can speak to the media on the validity of bite mark analysis as evidence in criminal investigations, and on methods to identify victims using dental records and DNA evidence.
With UB colleague Peter Bush, she helped identify several of the victims in the crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407 in Clarence, New York. The Bushes' current work centers on creating a database of the chemical and physical properties of dental materials – used for fillings, crowns, dentures and more – that can be referenced for victim identification.
Their research on bite mark analysis, which found bite marks to be a flawed form of evidence, has been cited in several court cases, including the prominent trials of Douglas Prade and Clarence Brian Dean. In 2014, Mary Bush also presented the Bushes' research on bite mark analysis during a congressional hearing on forensic science.

Tyler issues statement on slain officer
In a statement issued shortly after 1 a.m., Shreveport Mayor Ollie Tyler offered her condolences and sympathy for the family of a Shreveport Police Department officer killed in the line of duty Wednesday night.
"Last night, we lost one of our brave, uniformed officers in the line of duty. Our hearts are saddened," she said in an email statement sent via her spokeswoman Africa Price. "We ask for the community's prayers for this officer's family and SPD as we grieve the loss of one of our own who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting the citizens of this city."


"Extremely disappointed with brentwood community..."
The antenatal services run in the Badgers department are very poor.
Extremely disappointed with the level of care and support provided by the antenatal clinic at Brentwood Community Hospital. All of my midwife appointments were rushed through and I felt like they were just trying to get me out the door as soon as possible. I rang them today hoping to see or at least speak to a midwife for some advice as I have had some worries and concerns due to my baby being breech. No-one would even speak to me except the receptionist who passed me a message from a midwife telling me to contact the hospital instead. How is this a supportive and caring service? Its an absolute disgrace in my view and I will be going elsewhere in future.
Many thanks for your comments which will be passed on.

Here at Blue Forest HQ we have our fingers crossed for cloudless nights over the coming week, as the Perseid meteors will be making their spectacular annual journey across the skies of the northern hemisphere.
Luckily the moon will be waning (becoming a thinner crescent) during the shower, which means that the sky will be nice and dark, perfect for spotting the meteors as they race across the sky.
The best time to watch for the Perseids is late at night, although astronomers haven't ruled out the possibility that the meteors could appear earlier in the evenings between 11th and 14th August.
As you wait for the meteor shower to begin why not see how many constellations you can spot? If you have a smartphone then this clever app can map out the night sky, if not then Earth Sky have a dedicated page describing what to look out for in the sky each night.
We have compiled a list of our five favourite constellations, all of which can be seen in the UK night sky during August. If you are planning to spend a few hours under the stars on the lookout for meteors, then see how many of these well-known constellations you can spot before the shower begins.
The Big Dipper, or Plough as it's often known in the UK, is usually one of the easiest constellations to spot. The name of the constellation comes from it's saucepan-like shape and, just like the Perseids, it can be spotted in the northeast part of the sky.
This constellation is handy for finding other interesting points in the sky. The two stars which make up the right hand side of the dipper point directly to the bright North Star, which has been used throughout history as a navigation point for sailors and explorers.
Once you've found the North Star then you have also found the Little Dipper! The North Star forms the start of the "handle" of this constellation, which can be found just to the left.
Orion's Belt forms part of the larger constellation of Orion, which can be found in the southwest part of the sky.
Named after Orion the hunter, a famous figure in Greek mythology, Orion's Belt is made up of three stars in a row and rivals the Big Dipper as one of the most well-known constellations.
Just south of Orion's Belt you should be able to see a cluster of stars in what looks like a cloud, which is known as the Orion Nebula. The nebula, an interstellar cloud of dust and gases, is one of the most studied objects in the night sky, and has featured in some truly stunning photos.
Sometimes known as the 'Big W', Cassiopeia is easy to spot due to its distinctive shape. The constellation can be found by following the line from the Big Dipper to the North Star slightly further until you can see its distinctive 'w' shape.
As this constellation is located in the northeast the Perseid meteors are expected to appear in approximately the same area, so be sure to keep an eye out for any movement!
The Pleiades star cluster actually contains far more than seven stars, however most can only be seen once the night is very dark and you have taken a few moments to let your eyes adjust.
This constellation can be found by following the line of Orion's Belt up and to the right, until you see the small, bright cluster of stars.
The Nook Treehouse has a beautiful outdoor decking area that would be perfect to experience the Perseid Meteor shower.
Sipping an after dinner glass of wine on The Treehouse Kitchen balcony and watching shooting stars would be equally as beautiful.
Treehouses integrate the beauty of nature and organic surroundings with comfort and childhood dreams. We think they're the perfect spot to appreciate a wonderful natural event like the Perseid meteor shower.

The other side of Aliki Vougiouklaki: "He never paid me…", says a well-known designer
& nbsp;
An in-depth interview was given by the well-known designer Philemon, who -among other things- referred to his collaboration with Aliki Vougiouklaki.
Referring to the famous women, whom he has dressed, Philemon talked about the favorite actress and revealed that their collaboration was not pleasant.
"I did not consider it an honor to dress in these places at that time, because I dressed the high society. With difficulty I dressed the actresses and singers, I avoided discussing it, because the rich ladies did not want the clothes, with which I dressed them to give them for theater and runways. The only one I wanted to dress was Mary Chronopoulou "said the designer initially.
"I dressed her in two movies in the '60s. He even sent a housekeeper, Maria, and told me & # 8220; Mrs. Vougiouklaki wants to put your name in the movie titles & # 8221 ;. I did not answer her & # 8220; not even for a joke, because it did not become what I wanted, but what she wanted & # 8221; » said referring to his collaboration with Aliki Vougiouklaki.
Finally, he also revealed that he was never paid by the great actress.
"A painful story, I was never paid. I did not dress her again, because apart from the fact that she did not pay, she did not inspire me to dress her. At first, she thought she had the most perfect body in the world and that she was the ultimate woman. Well done to her, who managed to become a star ", she stated characteristically.

Farming Community Urged By Lawyer To Improve Safety Record
HSE Report Highlights Rise In Injuries
New figures from the Health and Safety Executive on the number of people killed on British farms are a major cause for concern which must be immediately addressed, according to a top workplace injury lawyer from Irwin Mitchell.
Accident at work claims expert David Urpeth commented after the research highlighted that the number of reported major injuries rose to 640 between April 2009 and March 2010, which marked an increase from 599 in the previous 12 months.
The study also revealed that 38 people died as result of working on farms, with the rate of fatal injuries making agriculture Britain's most dangerous industry.
Injuries In The Farming Industry
Discussing the release of the report, David Urpeth said: "It is undoubtedly concerning that the number of injuries and fatalities in the farming industry is so high.
"All workers, whether they are employed on construction sites, in factories or on farms, should be able to work safe in the knowledge that they will return home at night unharmed.
"I urge the farming community to get involved in making the sector a safer place to work, providing the correct equipment and training to ensure that workers are always protected from risks."

Clinic Staff Relationships Affect Patient Satisfaction
The relationships between clinicians and staff play an important role in patients' perception of quality care. A new scale, known as the Work Relationship Scale (WRS), can be used to measure these relationships and may help optimize care delivery in the primary setting.
Erin P. Finley, PhD, MPH, from South Texas Veterans Health Care System in San Antonio, Texas, and colleagues published the results of their study in the November/December issue of the Annals of Family Medicine. The article describes the WRS and the association between WRS scores and patient experiences of care, as determined by VA Survey of Healthcare Experiences of Patients data.
The authors developed the 15-item WRS on the basis of previously published literature, including observations of relationships in high-functioning, non-VA primary care clinics. The authors then validated the WRS in 17 VA primary care clinics in Texas. A total of 457 clinicians and staff completed the WRS, and 247 also participated in semistructured interviews.
The WRS measures items such as: "This clinic encourages nursing staff (ie, RN, LVN, MA, CMA) input for making changes" and "Most people in this clinic are willing to change how they do things in response to feedback from others."
Primary care clinics with lower WRS scores tended to have lower patient ratings of overall healthcare (r 2, 0.25; P < .05) and of individual clinicians (r 2, 0.43; P < .01) based on the VA Survey of Healthcare Experiences of Patients data. In contrast, the authors found no association between the VA Survey of Healthcare Experiences of Patients variables of "getting care quickly" and "clinician wait time" and clinic WRS scores.
"This study is one of the first to show that relationships within a care organization affect patient satisfaction. Clinic member relationships appear to have a significant impact on patient perceptions of care and should be assessed as part of efforts to improve delivery," the authors conclude.
This work was supported by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Health Services Research and Development Service. One coauthor is an investigator with the Implementation Research Institute, George Warren Brown School of Social Work, Washington University, St. Louis, through an award from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Health Services Research & Development Service, Quality Enhancement Research Initiative.

Growth Results Super Imploder
In the breakthrough work by John Burke and Kaj Halberg in the book Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty – Understanding the Lost Technology of the Ancient Megalith-Builders, we see that by placing corn seeds in the center of the paramagnetic stones at Stonehenge, the resulting crop grew 20-40% larger than the crop whose seeds were not placed in the center of Stonehenge. It was this concept that we arrived to the conclusion that restoring magnetism was the key to increased life force in all organic matter.
In keeping with the ancient tradition of harnessing magnetic energy. Fractal Water utilizes the very finest magnetics for your Imploder. Our magnets are then wrapped in 10 gauge steel to shield and harness the energy of the magnets, and focus the field towards the center, and directed towards the water. Since only 300 gauss of flux escapes through the steel, the opposite side is much stronger, essentially creating a mono-polar effect.
Magnet strength without any shielding, roughly 3250 gauss.
Magnet with 10 gauge steel shielding, roughly 4700 gauss, a 44% increase in strength! Not only does it increase strength, it also prolongs the life of the magnets, guaranteeing that your device will functioning properly for many years.
Only roughly 300 gauss of magnetic flux is bled through the back
During this process of passing water through a high magnetic flux density field the molecules in the water, begin to sort themselves, or self organize, in the field of the magnets. Its this structuring of the molecules which makes the water more bioavailable to the plants. This is called redox potential, its a measurement of how much water a plant can soak up.
Centripetal spin in the vortex combines with centripetal flux from super-magnets – to produce water molecules stable as more micro cluster.. meaning smaller and more spun. This creates absorption, and solubility. Watch as the Super water soaks into the soil visibly faster in your potted plants. See the example below.
Magnetic Water Treatment IS Proven Effective
Magnetic treatment of irrigation water: Its effects on vegetable crop yield and water productivity
Basant L. Maheshwari *, Harsharn Singh Grewal 1
School of Natural Science, CRC for Irrigation Futures, Building H3 – Hawkesbury Campus, University of Western Sydney, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith South DC NSW 1797, Australia:
"The analysis of the data collected during the study suggests that the effects
of magnetic treatment varied with plant type and the type of irrigation water used, and there were
statistically significant increases in plant yield and water productivity (kg of fresh or dry produce per kL
of water used). In particular, the magnetic treatment of recycled water and 3000 ppm saline water
respectively increased celery yield by 12% and 23% and water productivity by 12% and 24%. For snow
peas, there were 7.8%, 5.9% and 6.0% increases in pod yield with magnetically treated potable water,
recycled water and 1000 ppm saline water, respectively. The water productivity of snow peas increased
by 12%, 7.5% and 13% respectively for magnetically treated potable water, recycled water and 1000 ppm saline water."
Reminder- the international research is clear: magnetic water treatment DOES work. Our Super Imploder- at 3000 gauss! per magnet – over the large surface area of 8 coherently directed magnets conjugating right into the water flow- IS THE WORLDS MOST POWERFUL MAGNETIC WATER TREATMENT DEVICE.

Experimental Evidence for Effects of Magnetic Fields on Moving Water
by Dr. Klaus J. Kronenberg, The full article appeared in the 1984 Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Conference transactions: IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, Vol. Mag-21, No. 5, September 1985, pages 2059-2061. This article corresponds to the presentation by Dr. Kronenberg at the IEEE's International Conference on Magnetism in April 1985 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Only the abstract is included here.
Abstract Observable changes of water by magnetic fields have been investigated in an attempt to contribute to the knowledge of the structure of liquid water. The crystallization mode of the water's mineral content was found to change from a dendritic, substrate-bound solidification habit to the form of separate disc-shaped crystals after the water had moved through a number of magnetic fields. The former scarcity of crystallization nucleii in the water had been turned into an abundance of nucleation centers in the water. The reduction of the number of the substrate-bound crystals has been used as a quantitative measure of the magnetic effect. A mechanism is suggested assuming that resonance between the time sequence of the magnetic fields and the internal vibratory frequency of the water complexes results in the fracture of some of the complexes. Thereby, the formerly encased foreign particles are released and provide the nucleii for the formation of disc-shaped crystals throughout the volume of the water. Further studies are urged in view of the staggering potential benefits for many water users, such as prevention of hard lime scale build-up, increased effectivity of chemical additions to water for softening, fertilizing, feeding, and cleaning purposes.

Charles Lloyd, one of jazz's historic greats, returns to Dublin with his classic quartet on Wednesday 16 November for a one-off show on Irish soil as part of an extensive European tour.
Described by Nate Chinen as "a storyteller with a seeker's heart… one of jazz's great mystery men", the show comes two years after Lloyd's triumphant performance at the NEC, but this visit offers fans the rare chance to see NEA Jazz Master Lloyd in the more intimate, club-like surroundings of the legendary Vicars Street.
Lloyd is enjoying renewed critical acclaim, over half a century since he first made waves with albums such as Dream Weaver (Atlantic, 1966) and the epoch defining Forest Flower (Atlantic, 1966)–the first million-selling jazz album.
In recent years, Lloyd has released a slew of critically acclaimed albums for ECM and recently released his first albums for Blue Note in over thirty years–the specially commissioned Wild Man Dance (Blue Note, 2013) and I Long to See You (Blue Note, 2016), the latter which features Bill Frisell and guest appearances by Willie Nelson and Norah Jones.
His eventual re-emergence into the limelight in the late 1980s has been well documented, but suffice it to say Lloyd's current band featuring Reuben Rogers, Kendrick Scott and Gerald Clayton is one of the finest quartets of his long and distinguished career. At 78, who knows how many more European tours Lloyd has left in the tank, so this Vicars Street concert is a fantastic opportunity to experience one more time—for the price of a meal—one of jazz's most exciting, uplifting performers.
Charles Lloyd at Vicars Street on Wednesday 16 November promises to be one of the very best concerts, not just of jazz, but of any music, to hit Dublin in 2016.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.ie at 39 Euros for a general ticket and 69 Euros for the premium ticket, which includes meet-and-greet with Lloyd and a free CD.


There are many reasons for crime in our society today. If people do not have the means to support themselves and their families, they often turn to crime out of desperation. A society based on the accumulation of money as a way to get a better life will always encourage crime.
One of the fundamental principles of Nutopia is to make sure that all people have their basic needs met providing that they work only as needed by the community, and that work will always be made available to them. The amount of work required by each citizen in a Nutopia community is much less than today, so the stresses of long work days while still trying to take care of home and family are much less. When everyone in society has sufficient food, water, shelter, education, healthcare, and elder care, and free energy, transportation and communications, and they are given time to enjoy life, then the incidents of violence and crime are greatly reduced. It is of course human nature that some arguments, conflicts, and domestic violence will happen when human relationships are involved, but those incidents will be significantly less when all people are living happier lives and emotions such as envy and resentment do not cause tensions between citizens.
No one "owns" anything in Nutopia so there is no concept of money, property or possessions. There is nothing to steal and no reason to steal because nothing has any "value" and everyone has access to the same food, clothing, entertainment, and leisure pursuits, so crime such as robbery, break-ins, and theft are unheard of. The absence of harmful drugs and substances in the community and the limits on alcohol consumption also mean that the ubiquitous crimes caused by the use of drugs and alcohol today simply don't exist in Nutopia.

Each year, Americans consume hundreds of food products that contain truly dangerous compounds, including heavy metals, pesticides, and other harmful additives—with the blessing of the FDA. Why is this happening and why haven't you heard about it? In Unsafe at Any Meal, Dr. Renee Dufault, former food investigator for the Food and Drug Administration, provides the startling answers. While at the FDA, Dr. Dufault discovered that mercury—a highly toxic metal—was contaminating the plumbing systems of many food manufacturing plants. Upon further examination, she discovered that the same mercury was also evident in a number of processed foods commonly sold in supermarkets. When Dr. Dufault revealed these disturbing findings to her superiors, she was told to stop her investigation. Her continued efforts to raise the issue always met with a dead end, so she chose to take an early retirement from the FDA. Dr. Dufault then devoted her energy to making the public aware of the insidious dangers that contaminate our food. In 2010, she founded an organization of scientists to study the scope of this problem and has published numerous research articles on the topic with little fanfare. To expose what still seems to be a well-kept secret by the FDA, she has written Unsafe at Any Meal to provide consumers with the information they need to know.
The book begins with the author's story leading up to the creation of this work. It then describes the various toxic substances that are most commonly found in our food supply, and explains how they affect your genes, health, and the surrounding environment. After examining the Standard American Diet, which is sorely lacking in disease-preventing nutrients, it discusses the country's trend toward consuming a skyrocketing amount of ingredients that can contain heavy metals. It further shows how exposure to these heavy metals can contribute to conditions such as ADHD or autism. Also included is a helpful guide to reading food labels, recognizing misleading marketing tactics, and knowing what to look for—and what to look out for—in the aisles of your grocery store.
Over fifty years ago, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring exposed the dangers of DDT in our food supply. Unfortunately, it seems that the problem of food contamination has actually become worse. Backed by research and first-hand experience, Dr. Dufault reveals how the FDA has failed us, and outlines how you can protect yourself and your family by knowing what to avoid and by filling your kitchen with food that is clear of toxins.

Jeannie Smith
"From Darkness to Light," the theme of the 2014 Connections brunch, raises the question of individual responsibility to others — a Jewish value — regardless of the risk. Jeannie Smith, the daughter of Polish Righteous Among the Nations rescuer Irene Gut OpDyke, will be the keynote speaker at this year's Connections on Sunday, March 2, at 10 a.m. The event is sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona Women's Philanthropy and will be held at the Tucson Jewish Community Center. The Bryna Zehngut Mitzvot Award will be presented to a deserving Southern Arizona teen.
"My full-time job, my passion, has become telling my mother's story across the United States, Canada and the U.K.," Smith told the AJP from her home in Woodland, Washington. "When we believe that we're all part of one human family, we discover that one person can make a difference."
As a teenager she had no knowledge of her mother's past. When she was 14 a random telephone call interrupted their family dinner in Yorba Linda, Calif. It was 1972. A college student was doing a report on the denial of the Holocaust. "My mom was so shocked that anyone could think the Holocaust didn't happen," says Smith. It was the first time she had heard her mother's story as she spoke over the phone about hiding more than a dozen Jews in the basement of a high-ranking German official. She was his housekeeper in Poland during World War II.
"How does a young person come to think this?" her mother asked the student. "I recall looking at my dad," says Smith. "He was the only one who knew what she had done" to protect Jews during the Holocaust, all of whom lived.
But Smith's mother paid a price: The German official had come home to find a few of the Jews in hiding in the kitchen. The only way she could keep him silent was to become his mistress. He was in his 60s and OpDyke was barely 20, says Smith.
After that phone call, more than 40 years ago, OpDyke began speaking out. It wasn't until Smith was married and in her early 20s that she fully realized, "my mom's life was beyond the normal mom experience." OpDyke often told her daughter, "'Your head will tell you about danger but you must think with your heart.' That's how she lived," says Smith.
Her mother was named Righteous Among the Nations by the Israeli Holocaust Commission in May 2003. OpDyke's life story was told in the Broadway play "Irena's Vow" and in her book "In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer."
When OpDyke died at age 85, also in 2003, Smith was working as an interior decorator. She never thought of herself as a public speaker. "I had no intention of telling my mother's story but she had 60 talks lined up," says Smith. "I took over."
Now 56, Smith also speaks at schools about bullying and suicide prevention whenever she has the opportunity. "I learned from my mom that regardless of economic status or age, one person can make a difference. My message goes way past the Holocaust and genocide. I tell kids, 'Hate is easy. It takes real courage to love,'" she affirms.
In horrible situations "the biggest groups are not victims or perpetrators. The bystanders are the biggest group. I tell people, particularly kids, 'Be an upstander.'"
The cost for Connections 2014 is $36, with a $180 pledge to the 2014 Federation Community Campaign ($18 for students). RSVP by Feb. 21 to Karen Graham at 577-9393, ext. 118, or [email protected] or at www.jewishtucson.org. For more information, visit www.ireneopdyke.com.

Ball money: The Texas side is investing $200,000 in sports tourism
City officials hope a six-figure investment will pay off by bringing youth sports money into the local economy. by Karl Richter Aug. 30 2019 @ 4:12am

TEXARKANA, Texas — City officials hope a six-figure investment will pay off by bringing youth sports money into the local economy.
The city's proposed Fiscal Year 2020 budget includes a $200,000 expenditure to pay for sports facility improvements and other means of attracting youth tournaments, which can infuse the local economy with cash as hundreds of young athletes and their families come to Texarkana and stay overnight. Funding will come from hotel occupancy tax revenues that by state law must be used to promote tourism.
A City Council vote on adopting the budget, which would take effect Oct. 1, is scheduled for Sept. 9. If the Council votes yes, city staff will then develop specific plans for spending the sports project funds, City Manager Shirley Jaster said.
"We would want to spread that money around," said Ross Cowling, the Parks and Recreation Department's sports and league manager. He too declined to offer specifics before the funds are officially allocated and a plan is developed.
The 7% hotel occupancy tax the city collects brought in more than $1.55 million in each of the past two fiscal years, and a slightly lower amount, more than $1.54 million, is forecast for the coming year.
By law, the funds must be spent "only to promote tourism and the convention and hotel industry," including supporting convention centers, the arts, historical restoration and preservation, and sports tourism. The city uses hotel tax revenue to pay about $560,000 a year in debt service on the Texas-side convention center, as well as to fund arts and tourism efforts such as the Texarkana Regional Arts and Humanities Council and the Texarkana Arts and Historic District.
None of the hotel tax funds have been used for sports tourism in a number of years, but the citizen committee appointed by the Council to advise staff on the budget recommended changing that this year. Jaster too sees the economic potential in the youth sports industry.
"When we bring people into the community, they stay at a hotel, they eat here, and hopefully they buy things here," she said.
Each member of a youth baseball or softball team brings an average of three people with them when they travel to a tournament, not including coaches, Cowling said.
