According to Reuters, China's thermal coal prices rose to the highest level since mid-November, due to tightening supply, which has eased concerns that prices will fall following policy makers delay in introducing radical production controls.
At the port of Qinhuangdao, benchmark thermal coal prices rose 2.5% this month to US$87.6 on 10 March,which is close to the US$90/t record reached in November. On average, prices in March were at their highest levels in at least three years.
The upward momentum in coal prices was due in part to a ban on explosives used by coal producers and expectations that Beijing will impose strict limits to cut overcapacity this year.
According to analysts, China's state planning agency called the first meeting with producers on Monday to discuss coal supply in addition to talks on cutting capacity cut plans.
Thus far, the informal ban on explosives has affected both large scale and small producers in top producing region Inner Mongolia, as well as Shanxi and Sha'anxi provinces. The ban has forced utilities to buy more expensive coal on the spot market as the supply of cheaper coal under long-term dwindled.
The contract price is at a 60 yuan discount to the spot market, according to traders.
An executive with Shandong Energy Group said the fourth largest producers by revenue can only meet 70% of the volumes required by their long-term contract clients. One of China's largest coal producers, Shenhua Group halted sales of spot cargo, at some north ports, including Qinhuangdao.
Prices are predicted to fall when the ban expries at the end of this week.

Q: Player movement doesn't work after reloading the scene in Unity Using Unity 2021.3.16f1.
I followed this tutorial from Brackeys to make the pause menu for my flappybird like game, my player movement stops working after I exit the main game to the main menu and return to the game.
Part of player code responsible for movement:
public class birdScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody2D myRigidbody;
    public float flapStrength;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            myRigidbody.velocity = Vector2.up * flapStrength;
            FindObjectOfType<AudioManager>().Play("jump");
        }

    }
}

Part of pause menu code responsible for loading the main menu scene:
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class pauseMenu : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static bool gameIsPaused = false;
    public GameObject pauseMenuUI;

    public void loadMenu()
    {
        Time.timeScale = 1f;
        SceneManager.LoadScene("Title");
    }
}

Part of code responsible for loading the main game scene:
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class playButton : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void loadLevel()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene("Main game");
    }
}

I tried changing the play button code that loads the main game, in the scene hierarchy my main menu scene is 0 and my main game scene is 1. The play button is on the main menu.
I turned this
SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex + 1);

Into this
SceneManager.LoadScene("Main game");

But nothing happened, I tried searching on google but I have no idea how to search for the right answers.

A: Your problem has nothing to do with scene loading. That said your code for loading level is fine as it was:
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class playButton : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void loadLevel()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex + 1);
    }
}

Issue could be in your pauseMenu script but you only provided a part of the code. You need to make sure your Time.timeScale is set to 1f when the level scene is loaded.
I would suggest setting the default value for flapStrength. Also in void Start there is Time.timeScale set to 1f just to be sure. You could do this in the pauseMenu script.
public class birdScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody2D myRigidbody;
    public float flapStrength = 10f;

    void Start()
    {
        Time.timeScale = 1f;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            myRigidbody.velocity = Vector2.up * flapStrength;
            FindObjectOfType<AudioManager>().Play("jump");
        }
    }
}

I hope the answer helped. The issue is that the problem could be anywhere. It is necessary to go through all the values and examine the behavior of the player. Didn't an error appear that would stop the game? If the problem persists, you would need to edit the question and add more information.

How to make time to learn Chinese?
How did creating your Mandarin Chinese learning plan go? Did you figure out what drives you to be fluent in Chinese? That's great and it's certainly going to help you all along your journey to be fluent in Mandarin, little dragon. But how to make time to learn Chinese? Knowing what you want to achieve like fluency is very motivating.
Now that you have your goal in mind, you may worry about whether or not you'll be able to reach the main goal of your Chinese learning plan or the stages you've outlined. Will I make it to the end? Will I make mistakes? Will I be able to learn all the characters? Do I need immersion?
The answer is: YES, you will. (Yes, even to the making mistakes part!). You will learn all the vocabulary you need. No pressure. Go at your own pace. Take time and everything will go well.
Chances are you're going to find Chinese is clearly different to your native language and the other languages you've learned. No alphabet, no spaces between words, tones used in speaking and so on. So many new things to discover! You'll need to adapt to it — adaptation also takes time.
So, ease yourself in, give yourself time to get familiar with Chinese, to explore the platform, and get into the story and the exercises! You're a baby dragon, experiencing life among cats that speak mandarin, and that's not an easy thing to do. Be a Chinese speaker, be fluent. As you enter Ninchanese, the Chinese language method will gradually introduce you to Chinese, teach you simple words and the logic behind Chinese words.
Learning Chinese is something new in your life. Something you're adding to your daily routine. Just like anything new in your routine, you'll want to make some time for it. Pick a time in your day where you want to practice your Chinese and learn new things on Ninchanese, and try to stick to it. Making time for a new activity… takes time, you guessed it.
Let time be your best friend! Take the time to learn the Chinese language and to have fun doing it; this is a key to mastering successfully Chinese. Take time to adapt and learn all the basics of Chinese.
Find a period of your day when you're free to practice Mandarin Chinese. It may be in the evening after work/school, in the morning before leaving home or during lunch time. Choose your favorite time and schedule a Chinese learning session then! Pick a time that suits you. Write down your feelings during or after your learning session in your notebook. For example, you can try to write the character you have difficulty remembering.

Q: SwitchPreference null on lower sdk version (api level 21) OnFragmentInteractionListener mListener;

    @Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
    this.mContext = context;
    super.onAttach(context);
    if (context instanceof OnFragmentInteractionListener) {
        mListener = (OnFragmentInteractionListener) context;
    } else {
        throw new RuntimeException(context.toString() + " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
    }
}

I continuously receive a NPE when I attempt to see if one of my switchpreferences are checked, as shown below:
switchPending = (SwitchPreference) getPreferenceManager().findPreference("pendingAlert");

it crashes on the next line:
mListener.setSwitchPending(switchPending.isChecked());

But only on lower apis (im running my emulator at v21). Why is this? The complete trace is this:

Watch Courtney Barnett duet with Wilco on 'Handshake Drugs'
Barnett joins competition winners at Wilco's festival Solid Sound
John Earls
Courtney Barnett has duetted with Wilco
Courtney Barnett has joined a host of competition winners to sing karaoke with Wilco during the band's festival Solid Sound.
Wilco's Solid Sound Festival saw 10 competition winners sing karaoke at the event at MASS MoCA in Massachusetts, billed as 'Wilco's Karaoke Hour'.
The show saw the winners sing covers of Wilco songs, with Wilco as their backing band.
During the event, Barnett got on stage to sing a version of 'Handshake Drugs' from Wilco's 2004 album 'A Star Is Born'.
Other karaoke singers included guitarist Nels Cline's wife Yuka Honda, who sang 'We Aren't The World (Safety Girl)' and singer Jeff Tweedy's son Sammy Tweedy, who performed 'I'm Always In Love'.
As well as Barnett, other performers at the festival included Cate Le Bon, The Feelies and REM spin-off The Minus 5.
Among the Wilco songs the band played at the karaoke show included 'Heavy Metal Drummer', 'Dawned On Me' and 'Poor Places'.
It was announced in May that Wilco singer Jeff Tweedy will appear in the new series of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Tweedy's role is being kept under wraps, but it won't be Tweedy's acting debut. He appeared as Scott Tanner in Parks And Recreation and played himself in the film Heart Beats Loud.
It's believed Tweedy landed the role in Curb Your Enthusiasm as he is good friends with Jeff Carlin, who plays Larry David's agent Jeff in the HBO comedy.
Wilco go on a brief UK tour in September. Dates are below.
A new book on the band, Wilcopedia: A Comprehensive Guide To The Music Of America's Best Band by journalist Daniel Cook Johnson, is published by Jawbone Press on September 17.
Courtney Barnett plays a weekend of festivals at the end of August.
Barnett will appear at Indian Summer in Glasgow on August 29, followed by Manchester Psych Festival the day after and End Of The Road on August 31.
Wilco's tour dates are:
26 – Glasgow Barrowlands
27 – Manchester Albert Hall
28- Hammersmith Eventim Apollo

Gender Archetypes in 1960s Pulp Science Fiction
For as long as I can remember, I have loved Star Wars. Every single part about the series brought me hours of joy and excitement: the action, the characters, the drama, the creative setting, and the accompanying merchandise, all folded together beautifully to create an artistic tapestry of the world's greatest pop culture franchise. It wasn't until I entered high school and studied the original trilogy more closely for an extracurricular project that I realized a strange truth: there are hardly any female characters in these films, despite the fact that this cinematic universe hosts a huge and diverse roster of character. The only remarkable female character in Star Wars is Princess Leia Organa, a smart, brave, and beautiful heroine, who still manages to play the role of "damsel in distress" and sex appeal in each of the original three movies (in the third movie, she literally takes on the role of a sex slave dressed only in a bikini, to a giant space slug no less) This revelation prompted me to learn more about the women that ultimately led to the inspiration and creation of Princess Leia, namely, female characters of 1960s science fiction novels (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment). The objective of this experiment is to find the major characteristics of females in 1960s science fiction, compare them to those of men, and reflect on how these similarities/differences construct gender archetypes in the genre. Thankfully, word2vec models offer the ability to conduct this research, as giant corpora's of text can extrapolate useful data from closely associated words, analogies, word clusters, and many other categories. This large-scoped approach to text analysis makes word2vec extremely useful for finding literary connections in collections of documents.
Vector Introduction:
In order to extrapolate data from my corpus of science fiction novels, I used word2vec, an application designed by Professor Ben Schmidt of Northeastern University, which essentially allows users to take a large corpus, take unique words that appear often in one or more of the texts, and then produce a list of words ordered by the allocation of words most commonly associated with that unique word. The most common word models used in my research were "Closest To", which takes a word and returns a list of terms that appear frequently with that word, and "Closest to the Space Between Two Things", which takes two words and returns a list of words that are related to the first word but not the second one (Schmidt).
Research: Man vs Woman
Before beginning my research into the corpora, I decided to learn more about the history of the literature I was reading. Most of my documents are from the 1950s – 60s, a time where science fiction publishers made the migration from pulp magazines and comic books to paperback books, which were inexpensive, easily distributed, and could more easily contain large amounts of content for the reader. This time period marks the end of what was known as "The Golden Age", when science fiction was made mainstream. This transitional period for science fiction began with the end of World War II, and ended with the beginning of the Space Race, most likely due to authors starting to focus more heavily on engineering and science in their writing in order to inspire their younger readers to pursue a future career in the sciences (Yaszek 20).
After receiving background data on my documents, I began training my model to return information relevant to the construction of gender archetypes in the genre. My data was initially complicated by the fact that "man" and "woman" largely occupy the same vector space, so key differences were difficult to discern.
I observed that both vectors for "man" and "woman" are uncannily similar. The top four terms associated with "man" are the same top four terms associated with "woman", albeit in a different order. During the time I conducted my research, I believed that the reason I was receiving such underwhelming data was due to the fact that "man" is a substring of "woman", so I changed "woman" to "mother" and "lady" in hope to witness any significant changes. Luckily, my results were more fruitful this time. When searching for "man", the results were relatively well balanced. Positive words such as "savior", "well", "young", "colored", and "hope" appeared often, and in addition, there were a few negative words, including "died", "sick", and "sin". It is possible that this equilibrium of both beneficial and harmful terms could be a result of a mixed or equitable character archetype for male characters. The results for "mother" and "lady" on the other hand, returned almost exclusively positive and homely words, such as "hopes", "sweet", "respecting", "purpose", and "liberty". Oddly enough, there was also a small amount of religious references, including "Methodist", "service", "congregation", "prayer", and "bible". Furthermore, some of the terms found in both searches relate to family and domestic themes, such as "sweet", "lived", "society", "house", and "son". Unlike the query involving "man", which seems to deliver an ambivalent collection of both positive and negative terms, the female searches returned terms that are more often identified alongside compassionate, religious, and familial motifs. According to these models, the female word vectors appeal to the pathos of an audience more than the male word vectors. In addition to these searches, I also ran two pairs of the three selected words through a "Closest to the Space Between Two My observations made within these four models reflected the same ones I made in earlier models. In both pairs, "man" is more closely associated with the terms "savior" and "sin" than "mother" or "lady" are. Conversely, "mother" is more correlated to terms that imply domestic and familial relations, like "lived", and "sweet", and "lady" relates to many religious allusions, like "bible", "prayer", and "preaching". The searches that focus on feminine words always return overwhelmingly lighthearted and pious terms, arguably perpetuating a motherly nuclear family stereotype. Female words produce terms that imply matriarchal affection and a devout Christian practice, attributes that are commonly associated with the ideal conservative woman.
My research taught me that the 1960s science fiction character models for each gender can be very different. Men for example, appear to be morally ambiguous, as there are as many positive and negative similar words. For instance, two of the most commonly associated terms with "man" include the respectable title of "savior", and the shameful term "sin". On the other hand, women seem to exhibit only glowing features, consistently producing both sympathetic and pious descriptions. In the case of woman, it appears that the authors of these science fiction novels largely write women to reflect the same values of the traditional American woman: a loving mother and a god-fearing worshipper. Although these rationalizations might seem counter-productive to the improvement of the female image in literature, it is possible that these characterizations were purposefully chosen for the desire to initiate political discourse. During the 1960s, it was very common for writers to incorporate satire in their novels. One of the most prominent scholars on this subject is Lisa Yaszek, a professor of the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts and author of Galactic Suburbia: Recovering Women's Science Fiction. According to Yaszek "Women used the conservative gender stereotype in a domestic setting in a humorous and satirical way: 'By poking fun at the feminine mystique, [female] writers participated in a distinctly American tradition of humor whereby authors put seemingly lofty ideals and values in a homely context to deflate them' " (Yaszek 42) By using the platform of science fiction novels, feminist writers could create satirical characters for the purpose of engaging their audience with socially progressive motives. At the end of my research, I have come to the conclusion that gender archetypes do exist in 1960s science fiction, and are largely defined by the males being enigmatic figures that can play the role of both savior and oppressor, and also characterize females as devout mothers and churchgoer, often for socially humorous and sardonic purposes. In an attempt to further the conversation for the revival of feminism, "…women turned to SF in the … 1960s because it provided them with growing audiences for fiction that was both socially engaged and aesthetically innovative."(Yaszek 22) My research in 1960s science fiction has granted me an entirely new appreciation for the development of characters on the basis of their gender for the purpose of commentary.

Cat's on a Hot Tin New York.
In case you didn't know, it's the seventh level of hell here in NY this week. Well, if you put a lake in hell to produce ridiculous humidity and grouchier people. It's too damn hot to do anything. Outside is hot, the gym is hot, your ac is cranked, you take multiple showers, nothing helps.
Here's the thing, when you're breastfeeding you are much more easily dehydrated, and it's not safe to work out in crazy hot conditions. It also decreases your supply, which would really bum me out!!! Yesterday, in the evening, I took Elijah to the park to go cray cray in the sprinklers. He was pretty sure I was a rockstar. I'm inclined to agree. I stood out there in the heat so he could run through a glorified hose coming out of the ground. (JK, I totally let it hit my legs.) Last night, we did manage to take a long walk as a family, and it was lovely. When you have kids, you forget how nice walks in the dark are. Don't worry, none of us ended up with west nile.
Last night for dinner, it was the return of MEATLESS MONDAY!! I made whole wheat pasta with spinach, peas, parm, and dippy egg. YUM.
Boil pasta per directions on box. In a separate skillet combine all other ingredients save for parm and eggs. Sautee until warm and fragrant. Add MOSTLY drained pasta and toss together. Add parm and fried egg and GO! When you eat it, the gooey egg yolk goes down over the pasta in the most wonderful way.
This morning for breakfast, I made overnight oats for 2! Elijah and I devoured them like it was our job.
I combined all of these in a nearly empty peanut butter jar (jif natural) and stuck it in the fridge overnight. Sooo good. Stupid good.
The Temp is Too Damn High Party.
Thanks, Cait! My husband LOVES sunny side up eggs, so I have perfected them over the past 8 years! lol!


Starting today and until next Sunday, we're gonna have a little fun in here, and I've called this Total Recall! As La Baguette has clocked well over 270 blogposts since coming to life exactly four years ago back in Manchester, I thought it would be a cool idea to revisit 40 articles (at the pace of 5 a day, easy-peasy!), organised per theme.
Honey, Please Bee Lovely! (25/03/2013) >> Of the importance of the bee and pollinisation, and how one UK company is doing its bit to raise awareness and help contain the decline of the bee population.
Sunny Side Up with Origami Hen! (30/06/2012) >> Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) commissioned a short animation film to raise awareness on the horrors of those cheap supermarket chicken eggs, and how 'cost-conscious' consumers really get what they pay for in one simple equation, i.e. cheap eggs = chickens treated cheaply.
Little House on the Prairie (27/06/2011) >> My first-hand personal foray into organic fruit and veg, via a work contract which I landed at a Corsican garden society, where ancient cultivated varieties are stabilised, preserved, cultivated and propagated, namely the highly sought-after Oignon Doux du Cap (the mild Sisco onion) and the Aubergine Ronde du Cap (a Firenze-originated round aubergine/ eggplant).
My Organic Garden (19/10/2009) >> My modest contribution to the wordwide organic community, via my little suburban garden back in South Manchester.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the reads! And back in tomorrow for more, yay!

Jenkinson's Boardwalk fires woman who kicked out black girls
Sergio Bichao
Sergio Bichao Published: August 14, 2018
POINT PLEASANT BEACH — Jenkinson's Boardwalk has fired a cashier who was seen on a video telling a camp leader that a group of black girls was "not welcome."
A group of 40 girl campers from Paterson were on a trip to the Jenkinson's Aquarium on Friday when the worker at the gift shop ordered a small group of them to leave. A camp leader says the cashier told them they needed a chaperone. But when a 32-year-old chaperone returned with them to the store, the girls were still told to leave.
In a statement Tuesday, Jenkinson's Boardwalk said the "incident does not reflect the core values of the boardwalk." The company said they would provide a "diversity training program for its employees in the very near future to avoid this type of occurrence."
"In our 90-year history, Jenkinson's has always been and will continue to be the place where people from all races, religions, ages, genders, and cultures are welcome. We are committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving our culture of diversity and inclusion."
The company suspended the worker, who they did not identify by name, after New Jersey 101.5 and other media reported on the video, which first appeared on Facebook. The company said they terminated the employee "effective immediately" after conducting their own investigation.
Attiyya Barrett, organizer of the Princess to Queenz mentoring program, said a few girls, ages 6 to 14, walked into the shop before the rest of the group only to be told by the woman named Linda that they couldn't come in without a chaperone.
When the group returned with an adult, the woman insisted that they were not welcome.
In the video, Barrett confronts the cashier.
Story continues below video:
"She doesn't want the children to shop in her store because they have to have be with a chaperone. They go get the chaperone and then she excludes all of our girls because she doesn't want them there. What was the reason why again," Barrett is heard asking in the video.
"Because they didn't have a chaperone," Linda responds.
"No! And when they got the chaperone what was your reason?" Barrett says
"I didn't think she was a chaperone," Linda says. "They're not welcome in here."
In an online message Tuesday, Barrett said she was praying for Linda and "happy my girls are vindicated."
Barett response to Jenkinson's
Barrett earlier told New Jersey 101.5 that she had not assumed that the incident was racially motivated until the group returned a second time with a chaperone and were told "you are not welcome here."
New Jersey 101.5 was not able to find a working phone number to reach the fired cashier.

Solar Frontier changes ownership
The CIS thin film solar module maker was taken over, together with its parent company Japan's oil and gas group, Showa Shell Sekiyu, by Japanese oil refiner Idemitsu.

Japanese oil refiner Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd announced it has finalized the deal to merge with Japan-based oil producer Showa Shell Sekiyu, which is also the parent company of Japanese Copper/Indium/Selenium (CIS) thin film PV module manufacturer, Solar Frontier.
Idemitsu agreed to acquire Showa Shell trough a share exchange to be implemented on April 1, 2019, in which Idemitsu Kosan will distribute its shares to shareholders of Showa Shell and acquire all of the issued shares of Showa Shell, Idemitsu said in its official statement. According to Reuters, this transaction may be worth approximately US$5.6 billion. The preliminary agreement for the merger of the two companies was closed in July.
The new integrated company resulting from the operation will maintain the name Idemitsu, while Showa Shell shares will be delisted.
Although the oil business will remain the main source of income and activities of the new entity, it will also actively promote various renewable energy power sources, such as wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal power generation, said Idemitsu in a statement.
"In the solar panel business, the New Integrated Company will provide products leveraging its unique thin film solar cell technologies and make efforts to develop a self-consumption model as distributed energy resources," it added, without providing further details or directly citing Solar Frontier.
Idemitsu also said, however, that due to the current expansion of energy demand worldwide, it will make efforts to maintain and improve the value of existing petroleum and coal resources, and develop gas fields in Asia, with coal being defined as a "stable and inexpensive energy source."
Solar Frontier has embarked upon a number of strategic changes over the past two years. In early January, it transferred part of its business to RS Renewables, a new unit that was created through an incorporation-type company split. The new company is responsible for selling PV modules and developing solar projects in markets outside of Japan.
Furthermore, it adjusted its manufacturing strategy. In November, it revealed plans to consolidate production at its flagship 900 MW Kunitomi facility in Japan's Miyazaki prefecture, as part of this shift.
In February, meanwhile, the company said it was seeking new opportunities in the Japanese market, where the self-consumption of electricity is becoming increasingly important in the residential solar segment, offering "higher added value" than those in more competitive overseas markets.
For this segment, the company conceived it SmaCIS solar panels, which are said to provide greater coverage on the uniquely shaped rooftops of detached homes in Japan.

Trail Notes
Experiences and Insights Along The Uncharted Trail
James Boothe
Meet Mikey
Meet Mikey.
Husband to Emily. Father to Blakely. Uncharted Trail adventurer.
I had the real pleasure of joining Mikey and 3 of his closest friends early in August for an Uncharted Trail weekend in the North Georgia mountains. After some hiking, intentional conversations, hot tub time, waterfall swimming, and a few heated games of Settlers of Catan late into the night it's easy to see why Mikey is so loved by his friends and family!
I was introduced to Mikey through a shared acquaintance while his daughter Blakely was still in utero. Blakely was diagnosed during pregnancy with alobar holoprosencephaly, a condition that comes with a pretty discouraging outlook: many children with this diagnosis don't survive childbirth or live much longer after birth because of the compromised brain development. Knowing that I had gone through something similar with my son, Ezekiel, our mutual acquaintance connected us so I could share some of my insight and experience with Mikey. We talked on the phone a few times and texted some, but I had never met Mikey in person before this weekend.
Without going into too much detail, thankfully Blakely DID survive childbirth and lived a beautiful (and difficult) 10 months before passing away. Mikey chronicled his family's journey in a much more beautiful way than I ever could at https://blakelybumblebee.com/.
On top of Blood Mountain (Appalachian Trail)
After Blakely's passing, I reached back out to Mikey to offer him an Uncharted Trail weekend experience. After sharing the vision, he was hooked!
It takes at least 2 months to coordinate the right weekend, contact the friends, and make the accommodations necessary when customizing an entire weekend, but Mikey was looking 5-6 months down the road because of his summer work commitments. The longer timeframe worked to our advantage because finding a common weekend where 4-5 people all from different cities can meet up is definitely a challenge! Thankfully, 3 of Mikey's longest-running and most intentional friends were able to make it for a weekend we'll all remember!
All of our crew was traveling from Florida and south Georgia, but Mikey wanted a weekend in the mountains, so we made the most of our 8+ hour road trip up I-75 to Blairsville, GA, which is about 2 hours north of Atlanta, with some time getting to know each other, hearing each other's stories, and laughing about the dumb stuff dudes talk about on road trips.
The guys did me a huge favor and opted to travel through Athens on our way to Blairsville, so I was able to show them around beautiful North Campus of my alma mater, The University of Georgia, and treat them to my cheap college restaurant of choice, Barberitos. We also took a chance to ring the historic Chapel Bell...even though they weren't sure if I was setting them up to get in trouble!
Treating some FSU fans to the true "Harvard of the South"!
After dinner in Athens, and a beautiful ride up through the mountains, we made it to our cabin ready to rest and truly start the weekend.
We made it to the mountains!
The first intentional conversation on an Uncharted Trail weekend is all about "Now". We give our main adventurer the opportunity to share openly and honestly about how the tragedy and trauma they've endured has changed them. It takes some soul-searching and a deep commitment to brutal honesty, but it's the most cathartic experience of the weekend. It's one of those "what happens on the trail, stays on the trail" conversations that some might call sacred. I'll suffice to say that Mikey's love for his wife and his daughter was on full display... and we all resorted to a roll of toilet paper because I forgot to buy tissues for the night!
After getting out more tears than most of us usually share amongst men, we hit the hot tub! Nothing quite like 5 dudes in a tiny hot tub to accelerate the bonding process!
No, it's not a time machine.
Saturday is the big adventure day!
We took on a hike from Vogel State Park up to the Blood Mountain summit on the Appalachian Trail up 2,250 ft of elevation change through the nasty Georgia summer humidity. Over 9.5 miles. 4+ hours. At least 1600 calories burned. Literally puddles of sweat. A power nap on the summit. A dip in the lake after the hike. And some authentic southern BBQ when we were all done.
It was glorious!
The final two intentional conversations on an Uncharted Trail weekend are titled "New" and "Next".
NEW basically asks - "Who do you want to be and what do you want to accomplish in this next season of life?"
NEXT helps clarify - "How can we, as your community, best love, serve, and keep you accountable to healthy, productive living going forward?"
We tackled those subjects Saturday night & Sunday morning. But before we finished off the weekend with a long ride back to Florida, we had one more challenge to overcome.
A waterfall polar bear plunge!
Thank you to Mikey, Jason, Boyd, and Skylar for taking on an Uncharted Trail weekend with full hearts and no hesitations!
Thank you to Mikey's wife, Emily, for encouraging and empowering this opportunity for Mikey and the crew.
And thank you to Blakely, for making Mikey a better man.
Ripple Effect - Energy
It's not just the shock & trauma of the initial loss. The domino effect of everything else that's affected is something called "secondary loss"... or what I call "The Ripple Effect". For more on secondary loss, do a quick google search or read this article.
For me, the ripple effect has hit much deeper and lasted much longer than I knew to expect. It's been nearly 3 years since our baby, Ezekiel, died just minutes after he was born, but I'm just now noticing some of the ways I've been effected.
"Where I used to have the energy to "get back on the horse", I now have to wait until an entirely new horse comes along!"
Recently I've had to recognize and admit to myself that I've lost my edge for discipline and energy in the wake of losing my son. I used to be very self-disciplined and focused. One of those "if you put your mind to it" type of people. I mostly see it in my health. I put on at least 20lbs within a few months of Ezekiel's death, which isn't necesarily surprising, but it's the fact that I haven't been able to recover the energy or discipline to work it back down to a healthier weight... that's what I'm missing. That "edge" to turn the corner and make a change - it's gone now.
I might find it for a few days, but as soon as something derails me it takes weeks to put in the effort again. THAT is the ripple effect of loss for me. Where I used to have energy to "get back on the horse", I now have to wait until an entirely new horse comes along!
Discouragement is stronger.
Defeat lasts longer.
And for everything that requires effort I now think, "Is it really worth the fight?"
So, for those of you that can relate...
How has the ripple effect of loss changed YOUR energy and fight?
Disposable Coping
Like most people grieving, when everything was first going down and confusion was my default state of mind, I turned to the external world for coping. Food, music, exercise, hobbies, etc. And they weren't necessarily bad things... in fact, most of them (aside from junk food) could probably be seen as very good and healthy means of coping. I wasn't deep-diving into porn, drugs, alcohol, gambling, video game binges, extramarital affairs, or just completely abandoning my family. And trust me, if you're in the position where you're dabbling in that stuff to cope, I totally get it. It's just not really my flavor of coping, in general. And there's definitely ways to cope that aren't as destructive to yourself or your loved ones long term.
"I wish I had known before my grieving to choose "disposable" coping methods."
What do I mean by "disposable" coping?
It means choosing healthy coping methods while avoiding anything that you value and want to preserve.
For me, I really liked running, exercising with a group of guys early in the morning (F3), movies, and some really specific types of music. I also had a faith framework and regularly attended church. And I enjoyed all those things. They brought me comfort. So I went full-bore into them when I didn't know what else to do in the midst of my grief.
BIG MISTAKE.
What I didn't realize is that as I engaged the things I loved during my grieving, my brain started to re-wire the emotional associations with all those things. What was formerly associated with joy, confidence, pride, and strength started to unintentionally pair itself with my overall sense of defeat, sadness, purposelessness, frustration, and weakness.
And I honestly didn't even recognize it at first.
It was several months after my son Ezekiel died, and I was moving into a season where I felt like I could breathe again for a few days at a time without being overwhelmed. But as I went to embrace all the healthy things I used to enjoy, I'd find myself immediately back in that emotional place of defeat that I'd felt in the early months of grieving. It was confusing. And VERY discouraging. I didn't realize that my grief had re-colored and re-purposed all those mental associations as I embraced the things I loved while trying to cope.
I'm no neuro-scientist, but I think of it like a big bowl of soup. The general emotional condition of my mind is the bowl of soup, and all the things I was doing to cope were like pieces of bread. I was dipping the bread into the bowl of soup hoping that the soup would change flavor, or at least that it would make the soup more palatable. But what was really happening is that the bread was saturating up the soup, and the bread itself was changing flavor, NOT the soup.
So here's my suggestions on how to cope in a healthy way:
EXERCISE - If you like to exercise, do it! Just don't exercise in the way that you really love. Find a new exercise hobby for a few months or a year, so that when you're emotionally in a place where you start to feel a little "back to normal" you can return to the exercise you've loved all your life. Find a new gym. Do a new routine. Maybe pick up boxing, jiu jitsu, or another physical combat activity that helps channel your anger & aggression, but also one you don't plan to engage in for the long-term.
MUSIC - If you like a particular artist or type of music - avoid it for this season. Find music that connects with your current emotion, but know that it will also kickstart that emotion for you later in life. For me, I absolutely LOVE Andy Squyres and Sleeping At Last because of their raw emotional honesty. But I also don't listen to them anymore unless I'm choosing to enter back into my grieving for a short time. Or if you
RELIGION / SPIRITUALITY - If you are part of a religious or spiritual tradition, consider taking a break from regular attendance for a while. I know this may sound discouraging to disengage the thing that may primarily define your identity, but this suggestion is if you want to be able to return to that familiar place of comfort & peace you found in your spirituality once you're out of the intensity of grieving season. It's very common for people who go through trauma to see their faith structure affected in a deep way. You could be strengthened in your faith by the difficulty of the season. Or you could be so shaken during your grieving that your past faith just doesn't carry the same meaning that it used to. This is a much deeper conversation, and in no way am I trying to encourage anyone to walk away from their faith. On the contrary, this suggestion is so that you may find some preservation in your faith during a season that is very unpredictable.
TV & MOVIES - Just know that the TV & movies you watch during your season of grief may bring you back to that place when you re-watch them later in life. This can be very cathartic and help toward processing your grief, but you may not want to watch your all-time favorite TV & movies to try and help you grieve. For me, Arrival and Interstellar are movies that remind me of my grieving season. I love those movies, but I also know if I want to watch them that I'll get kickstarted into some sadness because of the emotional ties for my season of grief.
FOOD - This is probably the area that I failed hardest. And it has one helluva feedback loop! I absolutely became an emotional eater during my grieving. Primarily with sweets and junk food. I know how hard it can be to eat even close to healthy while grieving, but if you find yourself driving to the grocery store at 9:30pm to get Ben & Jerry's to make you feel better, I can almost promise you'll get that itch for ice cream around that time of night for years on end even when you aren't grieving. I speak from experience on this one! Food can also get tied to the activities or locations you're in while you're emotionally eating. This goes along with the TV & Movies category. We watched through The Office while grieving Ezekiel and scarfed down pints of Haagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry's. Now when I watch the office, it makes me crave ice cream and feel a little emotionally numb at times.
You're going to cope. That's expected. But if you want to preserve some of the things you loved before your season of grieving so that they carry the same meaning once you're a little further "along the trail", try coping with some disposable methods. Because it can really suck to come out of deep grieving only to find that the things you loved are now "gone" too.
Keep pressing on.

Lament for a Son by Nicholas Wolterstorff - this short diary from a father who suddenly lost his son reminds you that "someone else gets it".
After the Death of a Child: Living with Loss through the Years by Ann K. Finkbeiner - this book gave me the peace of mind to know that there is no real timetable for adjusting after the loss of a child. Hear stories from parents who lost children of all ages and how the loss radically affected their lives.
Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor A. Frankl - when you're past the shock and numb phase of your grieving and ready to start asking "What does it all mean?" this is a challenging book about Frankl's experience in a Nazi death camp where he recognizes that the meaning you attach to an event is just as impactful as the event itself.
Through Painted Deserts: Light, God, and Beauty on the Open Road by Donald Miller - a book about a road trip and questioning the "how and why" of God & life. This book is not about grieving, but the idea of being on a journey and questioning all you've held as true strikes a chord.
"The seed of possibilities roots down and draws life out of a composition of death"
My wife & I had the opportunity to visit NYC in October 2017 for a weekend. We didn't plan much. Just to walk around, people-watch, and eat ramen at some point.
One of the primary things my wife wanted to do was walk along The Highline, an elevated greenway created on a former railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan. (and yes, I just basically copied the first line of description from Wikipedia!)
It was a leisurely stroll for us and fulfilled 2/3 of our NYC plans... I'll give you a hint: We didn't eat ramen on The Highline.
Bill Keys, the poem guy.
As we got to the end of The Highline, we noticed a man wearing a brown corduroy sports coat sitting at the end of a long bench with a small typewriter in front of him. A small, handmade sign in front of the typewrite simply read POEMS about anyone or anything.
We were immediately intrigued, but there was a group of young women already engaging the guy. Should we wait around for our turn? Or just keep walking & people-watching?
We stopped. Hesitated. Started off on our way. Then turned back around. It was just one of those moments where you realize, "What's the rush?" and you trust your gut.
We waited it out as the man questioned the group of girls about their travels & work & relationships & favorite songs & whatever whatever. I honestly started to get restless. "Is it going to be worth my time to wait this out?" We only sat there 15-20 minutes or so, but when you're surrounded by the hustle & bustle of NYC, 15-20 minutes feels like a long time.
Eventually we got our turn. We didn't even introduce ourselves. He just started right away. Well, right away after opening a small bag of Doritos.
"What would you like a poem about?"
We weren't really sure. We just wanted to see where it would end up. We were looking for a sign. Waiting for the Spirit to move. Hoping for some prophetic word from this stranger's old typewriter. We didn't want to outright tell him our story and end up weeping in front of a stranger, surrounded by even more strangers in the middle of New York City. We just wanted him to magically already know!
After looking at each other for a minute, Kristina finally answered "Something about questions that have no answers."
A few more questions from the poet, probing what we were really after. But we kept it as vague as we could.
And slowly he got to work.
He would pause to think. Type a few words. And gaze off in the distance to think some more. It was honestly kinda nerve-wracking. I just wanted to know what he had to say!
Thankfully, he had a small pre-made book of poems for us to read as we waited. His own original work.
Finally, he looked up from his typewriter, scrolled the small piece of paper out, and asked, "Would you like me to read it to you?"
"Blame it on the Arabs
(didn't they invent math)
for the emergent belief that
there are conclusions
that can be counted on
Blame it on Samuel Johnson
and his dictionary canon
that trapped words in their cagey definitions
People worship gods of definitive justice
fathering reason ridden creatures
People are convinced they can BE somebody
can become anyTHING
When clearly one good look at life
reveals that everything is constantly becomeing
The seed of possibilities roots down
and draws life out of a composition of death
to convert light to fruit
The violent death of the gazelle becomes the cub
The quest of creation is constantly revealing
new forms profuse with out conclusion
The great questions are vehicles
taking us on wonderful journeys
in our heart of truth"
And there we stood. Weeping in front of a stranger, surrounded by strangers, in a strange city.
It's not a poem I would've written for myself. And to be honest, when I heard the first line, "Blame it on the Arabs", I thought to myself Oh God, what did this guy just write? Is he just a kook in NYC still burning from the rage of 9/11? Are the strangers around us going to think we asked for some hate-filled, racist poem? What else is he about to say?!?
Thankfully, my fears were dissuaded, and we now have something I will cherish forever.
Without mentioning a word of our journey through grief and the unearthing of our new selves, this random poet at the end of the NYC Highline had snuck into the bedroom of our souls and left a note reminding us that we are still seen. Still heard.
Learn more about Bill Keys, the poem guy
Learn more about the the NYC Highline
Learn more about the ramen we finally ate at Minca in East Village
A New Year's Thank You

ST. LOUIS -- With the Hot Stove season just beginning, the Cardinals' activity has thus far been limited to some 40-man roster housecleaning and coaching staff additions. However, John Mozeliak, speaking from the General Managers Meetings in Arizona on Tuesday, also acknowledged that the team has settled on a first baseman.
Matt Carpenter, once an All-Star second baseman, then an All-Star third baseman, is now projected to open the 2017 season at first base. The move will bring some stability to a position that saw three players -- Matt Adams, Brandon Moss and Carpenter -- make at least 35 starts there in 2016.
It also offers insight into the Cardinals' plans elsewhere across the infield. With the team's offseason priorities concentrated in the outfield and the bullpen, St. Louis is counting on improvement from within as it seeks to stabilize the infield defense.
"There were a lot of moving parts," Mozeliak said of the 2016 club. "It was a little unsettling, and it didn't quite work. But I think going into Spring Training in 2017 with a more stable look [will help]. Not that we didn't think going into '16 it wasn't going to be stable, [but] some things happened … and it certainly didn't work."
Some of the 2016 shuffling was forced by injuries. In other instances, it was the product of ineffectiveness. The end result was the Cardinals having just one player make more than 70 starts at a single infield position all year.
Mozeliak said the club has already communicated its plans with Carpenter so that he can use the next several months to prepare for the move. Carpenter did start 35 games at first last season, almost all of those coming once Moss was shifted to left field to replace an injured Matt Holliday. Carpenter compiled 1 Defensive Runs Saved at first base, compared to a -8 DRS at second and a 2 DRS at third.
Where the Cardinals specifically need defensive stability is up the middle, and they hope to get it from Aledmys Diaz and Kolten Wong. On Tuesday, Mozeliak offered a vote of confidence in both, though he also indicated that the club will look to enhance its depth in case either falters.
The expectation is that Diaz, who had a standout rookie season at the plate, will improve in the field with increased exposure. The Cardinals saw that to some extent as the 2016 season went on and Diaz got more comfortable.
"I'm pretty excited about Diaz," Mozeliak said. "I'm definitely high on him. I think he can be a talent, but we have to make sure we're protected. If you're thinking about sustained success, how do you deal with something that doesn't go as you hoped or as you planned? It's creating enough depth to give us protection there."
The Cardinals opened 2016 with Wong as the starting second baseman, but manager Mike Matheny pulled away his playing time while he sloshed through struggles at the plate. Though Wong finished the season slashing .240/.327/.355, the Cardinals intend to recommit to a player they signed to a five-year extension in March.
For an organization seeking to inject athleticism into its lineup and stabilize the defense, it's a move that makes sense.
"I think he has a chance to be a Gold Glove-caliber second baseman," Mozeliak said. "I think a lot of times things that bog him down are the offensive struggles, but I still think he can be an exciting bat and exciting everyday player."
Barring any acquisitions this winter, the Cardinals will then fill third with some combination of Jedd Gyorko and Jhonny Peralta. Gyorko will also be an option to spell time at short, while Peralta, depending on the shape he's in next year, could emerge as a backup at short.
What's perhaps most unclear is where the fit is for Adams. With no defensive versatility, Adams, right now, stands to serve as a backup behind Carpenter. He is also a candidate to be traded as the Cardinals seek to address other areas of need.
