There's a lot to love at Mo's Food Market.
Published April 13, 2018 at 5:21 p.m.
For years, the area around Marquette University was devoid of fresh food options. But thanks to the work of the Near West Side Partners, there are now numerous new options for students, residents and employees in and around Avenues West.
Mo's Food Market, 2404 W. Clybourn St., observed its grand opening today, complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony led by Alderman Robert Bauman. The new Asian grocer follows the opening of Sendik's Fresh2Go, which opened on the Marquette Campus last August, as well as the Near West Side Farmer's Market, which operates June through September at 20th and Kilbourn.
The market is filled with an impressive array of grocery options from basics like eggs and soy milk to specialty produce, snacks and housewares.
There's nothing quite like strolling the aisles of a new grocer, where every turn offers something new to tempt your tastebuds and your wallet. At Mo's here's just a sampling of the goodies we found.
You really can't get much fresher than live fish swimming in tanks. Today's selection included bass, catfish, lobster and crab.
Declared as one of the hottest food trends of 2017, Jack fruit has become a hot commodity in America. Prized for its texture, which is uncannily similar to shredded beef or pork, the fruit is remarkably versatile. It's also loaded with protein, potassium, calcium and iron.
Dragon fruit (also called pitaya) is gorgeous; its exterior is fuschia and its flesh is similar to that of kiwi: a bright white color dappled with tiny black seeds. It's mildly flavored, slightly sweet and sometimes tangy. It's also high in fiber, vitamin C and B vitamins.
Mo's has a lovely selection of greens, including standards like spinach and bok choy. But there are also less widely known options including things like Chinese broccoli (gai lan) and chrysanthemum greens (also called ssukgat, tan ho, tung hao or shungiku).
There's also a lovely selection of teas, including this line, which is beautifully packaged in varieties like rose, lotus leaf, barley and honeysuckle.
Get your ramen bowl ready. Mo's also has Japanese fish cakes, a fun addition to any number of noodle bowls. It's also delicious fried in tempurah batter or even on its own, eaten as a snack with a bit of wasabi and soy sauce.
There are dried noodles galore, but also an impressive selection of fresh options in the refrigerator section. There's are also frozen dumplings in just about any flavor you can think of.
The housewares section at Mo's is impressive (and tempting). Gorgeous bowls can be found priced $2-5 each.
There are tea and sake sets, ramen spoons, chopsticks, rice cookers, bamboo steamers, tamale steamers and a nice selection of cutlery.
There was also a small selection of plants, including a number of herbs and hot peppers -- all perfect for growing in a sunny window or balcony.
You'll also find fun things like Hello Kitty bobbleheads.
And adorable little cat bowls.
Mo's Food Market is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Uranus reaches opposition on October 19, 2017
Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, reaches opposition on October 19th. The distant "Ice Giant" shines at mag. +5.7 and is located in the constellation of Pisces. It's marginally bright enough to seen with the naked eye and easy to spot with binoculars and small scopes.
Uranus is positioned close to the Aries constellation border. It's about 15 degrees south and 30 degrees east of the centre of the Great Square of Pegasus and a couple of degrees west and slightly north of omicron Piscium (ο Psc - mag. +4.3). Further to the northeast is Taurus, which contains first magnitude orange star Aldebaran and naked eye open clusters, the Pleiades and Hyades.
Uranus is visible all night during October. It rises above the eastern horizon around sunset, reaching its highest point in the sky at midnight, and then sets in the west as the Sun reappears. At opposition, the planet is approx. 18.915 AU (2,829.6 million kilometres or 1,758.3 million miles) from the Earth. With an apparent diameter of 3.7 arc seconds, small telescopes at medium to high powers will reveal a small bluish-green disk. However, when viewed through even the largest of amateur scopes, it's difficult to spot much detail.
The finder chart below shows the position of Uranus at opposition (R.A.= 01h 38m 28s, Dec.= +09d 35m 29s). Since it moves relatively little with respect to the background stars, the chart is valid also for some time before and after opposition.

Muller House
By Donna and Paul Erickson with research support from Historic Reno Preservation Society
Tour navigation: Previous | Tour Info | Next
Mary Ruth "Maisie" Kinder was born and raised in Pennsylvania; as a youngster she had the opportunity to go to London to live with her aunt. There she began acting, singing, and dancing. After working as an understudy, she was selected for roles in several plays and musicals including an early London production of Peter Pan.
In 1909 she abruptly left the stage and married Henry Jacob DeLaval Astley, who owned the Chequers Court estate in Buckinghamshire, near London. In 1912, Astley lost his life in a crash piloting his airplane over Ireland. Two years later, the widowed Mary Ruth Astley married a captain of the Royal Horse guards named Shirley Douglas Falcke, and traveled to Reno to divorce him in 1921. Here she met Vinton A. Muller, who had just moved to Reno after completing his surgical training. They married in 1922 and construction of their home at 725 California Avenue began in 1924.
The couple became very active in Reno society and had live-in servants. Vinton Muller was born in Nevada City, California, where his father was also a surgeon. He then attended the University of California at Berkeley and the UC Medical School in San Francisco, where he also served his surgical residency. Muller went on to practice in Reno for more than 40 years. He was a founder of the Reno Surgical Society and served as the chief medical advisor to the Nevada Industrial Commission during the eight years during which the Hoover Dam was constructed. He served as president and secretary of the Washoe County Medical Society and president of the Nevada Medical Association, and established the first blood bank in Washoe County.
Mary Ruth Muller was an organizer and first president of the Reno Women's Golf Club. Later in the marriage she sang on KOH radio when it was the only station in town. The couple lived in the home until their deaths in the 1970s.
John La Gatta, a long-time community leader, philanthropist and world traveler, owned the house from 1996 until 2015. Mr. La Gatta was an active member of the community who served on the boards of numerous foundations and nonprofits, including the Desert Research Institute, Nevada Museum of Art, Sage Ridge, and Mariposa School. He decorated the interior of the home with his father's paintings, some of which appeared on the covers of major magazines.
The residence is of the Mediterranean Revival style, consisting of 3,971 square feet plus a 775-square-foot finished basement, and has three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The home is of wood frame construction with a stucco exterior. Interesting architectural features include the classic clay tiles, the entrance framed with elaborate Corinthian pilasters and the decorative iron gate.

Q: Dynamic Jasper DynamicReportBuilder - insert page break when columns run off the page     for (GridColumnsEnum abscol : abscols) {
        drb.addColumn(abscol);
    }

I have a for loop that iterates through a collection of abstract columns and adds the abstract columns to a DynamicReportBuilder object.  The number of columns added to the DynamicReportBuilder object is dynamic and can range from 5-20.
The drb object is used to generate a report that is landscape oriented.  The columns frequently run off the page if there are more than 7-8 columns.
I'd like to know the best way to insert a 'page break' if there are more than 7-8 columns so that the remaining columns are displayed on the next page instead of running off the page.
I've tried various things with the DynamicReportBuilder api - namely, DynamicReportBuilder.setColumnsPerPage(7) - which doesn't seem to have any effect - the columns are not split into separate pages after the 7th column.
Can anyone suggest a way to accomplish this?

I used one of the sentiments from The Project Bin's "In My Heart" set for this card. I used a panel of Distress Ink'd cardstock and layered up to the top panel where I added more of the yellow-orange color to so it would help pull some of the Distress color up.
A cute and simple card appropriate for Valentine's Day or any other day you just want to let someone know they're special!
Another card with my favorite The Project Bin set, "In Your Heart." I used one of the dies that comes with the set to punch a heart out of the center before I mounted the card front to the base. This allowed me to pop the sentiment, stamped on a different piece of cardstock and cut out with the same die, into the negative space. I added another heart I cut from yet a different cardstock to help balance the card.
I pinch pleated the dark ribbon and added some thin, silver threads that I tied into a bow. I topped it off with a heart stick pin.
Voila! This set is a must-have for every cardmaker!
This card, featuring The Project Bin's "In My Heart" stamp set, is a clever little thing! Here's a tutorial that shows how to make a rectangle one like I showed today and a square one!
If this card was leaving my house and going to yours, I would write inside the small card and if I needed to, I'd continue on the blank side to the left of the smaller card, as you can see in the second photo.
This is my favorite stamp set from The Project Bin (closely followed by "Haunt It!"). If you haven't had explored the website yet, go forth and shop!
As a educator-librarian, I see all kinds of kids everyday. If I could tell each of them one thing, it would be to "own" who you are. Being different is a blessing.
This card is made using "Spencer's Set" from The Project Bin. I also used the heart die from the "In My Heart" set. I threw in a little white gel pen to carry some of the white from the main heart to the rest of the page.
I really like this sentiment by Dr. Seuss. One of the things I tried to promote in the classroom was embracing one's self just as you are. (That, and "Go see the world; you can always return home!") Purple hair? Rock on! A fascination with centipedes? Just don't bring it near me! An undying regard for Disney movies. Let's play some trivia!
We all have different gifts; and that's what makes the world go 'round.
I was feeling a little nostalgic today and these papers helped take me back. I decided to pair the papers with a sentiment that also takes me back. Must be that I turned 55 not long ago.
I used The Project Bin's "Fun is Good" set for this card. I sponged the edges, added stitching, and threw on some ribbon just for the heck of it. I decided that just one more heart was in order and cut it out with the die from the "In My Heart" set.
And on that note, I need to go change my Depends and find a pair of readers just a bit stronger than these. Ay-yi-yi....old age ain't for sissies!
"In My Heart" is one of my very favorite sets from The Project Bin. Today, I used the dotted heart stamp and die that comes with the set as well as one of the awesome sentiments to make this cheery card!
I traced the outside of the die onto the patterned paper and cut it out with scissors. Next, I ran the front side of the card base and some peach paper with the die on it through my Big Shot. I mounted the patterned paper onto the card base using mounting tape to elevate it which gives the heart an embedded look.
I stamped the peach heart left from the die with the dotted heart stamp and embossed it using clear embossing powder. Then I stamped the white heart cut from the card base with the sentiment. I added adhesive onto and plugged it back into the spot left from the die, so it can be seen when the card is closed and open.
I attached the peach heart on the front of the card and added a peach-colored pearl beneath the sentiment as embellishments.
Monday means a Project Bin, and since it's Monday, Monday, I have a card and another card for you!
If you know me well, you know that I'll make a card for almost any holiday even though I don't really celebrate holidays, which is just my personal choice. And second only to Halloween, I love making Valentine's cards. Both of today's cards come courtesy of The Project Bin's "In My Heart," which is a stamp set with two cutting dies. All the sentiments are wonderful and work for Valentine's Day or for just an I-love-you/you're-one-of-my-favorite-people cards.
The first card is a small shaker card with the sentiment behind the acetate with the shaker material. A couple Christmas' ago, I picked up some "confetti" at the after Christmas sale. Not only is it not large enough to make a dent in the shaker card, the pieces - maybe because of their size - keep clinging to the acetate. Valuable lesson learned! I also have some sequins in there but they got swallowed up by the tiny confetti that's clinging to the window.
Well, crap. And me with no grandma's left to send a slightly-imperfectly card to!
I used vellum to make my second card. I stamped the dotted heart from the set on the vellum and heat embossed with a white/glitter embossing powder. (Even being careful and heating evenly on both sides, there was still a little warping. of the vellum I guess that's the hazard of using such a delicate paper.) I colored the back of the heart to create a really pastel look and mounting the whole thing on coordinating patterned paper. I added the mat board element and made sure it had plenty of clear WInk of Stella. Done!
"In My Heart;" I love it!
The Project Bin just released its newest set, "In My Heart," and it is a beauty! In addition to stamps that say just what you want to say, it comes with two metal dies - a heart and an XOXO. How fantastic is that? While definitely a set that will work for Valentine's Day, it can also be terrific to make every day notes for those you love.
I used the heart die for this card, as well as the sweetest sentiment EVER! I gave my white gel pen a work out, as well as my gold gel pen and Glossy Accents.
I continue to stockpile cards for that special someone. Just sayin', my craft room is only so big, If you know Mr. Wonderful, I'd appreciate an introduction!

Q: In C#, how can I create a folder if it does not exist on a SharePoint site I am trying to create a microservice in C# which will accept a csv file containing order numbers, digest the csv, connect to sharepoint, create a new folder on sharepoint, and then copy contracts with names corresponding to the order number from whereever they may be (and they probably won't all be in the smae place) to the new folder.
At this point, with help from Stackoverflow, I can successfully get an authentication token from our Sharepoint using a CSOM Authentication Manager.  And now I am trying to figure out how to create a the folder.  Googling for information on creating Sharepoint folders keeps bringing up the topic of lists, which I don't know anything about and don't even know if I really want or need to know anything about, or whether there might be a different way which works with the site as that's what I'm actually interested in.
So, let's say I have a sharepoint site at https://example.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite.
How can I simply create a folder called "Foo" within a folder called "Bar" which exists in "Shared Documents"?
If I need to know something about lists in order to do this, can I use C# to find the correct list?  Or do I need to chase my adminstrator for additional information?

A: Assuming the AuthenticationManager returns a valid context and the root folder already exists, the following works:
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using AuthenticationManager = SharepointOrderContractExtractor.Clients.AuthenticationManager;

namespace SharePointOrderContractExtractor.Clients
{
    public class FolderManager
    {
        private readonly AuthenticationManager _authenticationManager;

        public FolderManager(
            AuthenticationManager sharepointAuthenticationManager
            )
        {
            _authenticationManager = sharepointAuthenticationManager;
        }

        internal Folder EnsureAndGetTargetFolder(string folderPath)
        {
            using ClientContext context = _authenticationManager.GetContext();

            List<string> folderNames = folderPath.Split("/").ToList();
            List documents = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(folderNames[0]);
            folderNames.RemoveAt(0);

            return EnsureAndGetTargetFolder(context, documents, folderNames);
        }

        private Folder EnsureAndGetTargetFolder(ClientContext context, List list, List<string> folderPath)
        {
            Folder returnFolder = list.RootFolder;
            return (folderPath != null && folderPath.Count > 0)
                ? EnsureAndGetTargetSubfolder(context, list, folderPath)
                : returnFolder;
        }

        private Folder EnsureAndGetTargetSubfolder(ClientContext context, List list, List<string> folderPath)
        {
            Web web = context.Web;
            Folder currentFolder = list.RootFolder;
            context.Load(web, t => t.Url);
            context.Load(currentFolder);
            context.ExecuteQuery();

            foreach (string folderPointer in folderPath)
            {
                currentFolder = FindOrCreateFolder(context, list, currentFolder, folderPointer);
            }

            return currentFolder;
        }

        private Folder FindOrCreateFolder(ClientContext context, List list, Folder currentFolder, string folderPointer)
        {
            FolderCollection folders = currentFolder.Folders;
            context.Load(folders);
            context.ExecuteQuery();

            foreach (Folder existingFolder in folders)
            {
                if (existingFolder.Name.Equals(folderPointer, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
                {
                    return existingFolder;
                }
            }

            return CreateFolder(context, list, currentFolder, folderPointer);
        }

        private Folder CreateFolder(ClientContext context, List list, Folder currentFolder, string folderPointer)
        {
            ListItemCreationInformation itemCreationInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation
            {
                UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder,
                LeafName = folderPointer,
                FolderUrl = currentFolder.ServerRelativeUrl
            };

            ListItem folderItemCreated = list.AddItem(itemCreationInfo);
            folderItemCreated.Update();

            context.Load(folderItemCreated, f => f.Folder);
            context.ExecuteQuery();

            return folderItemCreated.Folder;
        }
    }

Inca Trail trek for store director
Jayesh, Dipa, Nishma and Kam at Machu Picchu
Store director Jayesh Maru has just returned from a very big adventure – trekking the Inca Trail in Peru for the mental health charity Mind.
And the teams at his Specsavers stores in Bethnal Green, Dalston Cross and Hackney are all very proud of him.
Jayesh took part in the two-week charity challenge to reach Machu Picchu with his wife Dipa, alongside his colleague from the Specsavers stores in Acton, Chiswick, Ealing Broadway and West Ealing, Kam Gohil, and his wife Nishma. The team has already raised £3,560 - but there is still time to donate if you are feeling inspired.
This is not the first time Jayesh has taken on a big physical challenge, having already conquered Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m/19,340ft), Everest Basecamp (5,380m/17,600ft) and Kala Patthar (5,644m/18,520ft).
A word from Jayesh
Jayesh said: 'Mountain trekking is a big passion of mine, so I am delighted that I am able to do what I love and combine it with raising money for a very good cause.
'I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me and the rest of the team by making such generous donations. You have made a massive difference.'


Austin, Texas aesthetic plastic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Walden was recently named one of Texas' Super Doctors by a group of her peers. A down home and personable person at heart, Dr. Jennifer Walden pulled up stakes a few years back when her twin boys were mere babies to come back to her Texas roots. While she left behind a thriving business and many good friends, she thought it was the best decision she could make for her family.
Dr. Walden graduated from high school in Austin and went on to graduate from the University of Texas with a degree in Biology. After being waitlisted, she finally entered the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. After an externship in Miami, she landed in Manhattan. She continued to hone her skills under her mentor Dr. Sherill Aston. Today, she is considered among the best aesthetic plastic surgeons in the world.
As an aesthetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Walden performs a number of procedures including breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, tummy tuck, liposuction and even Botox injections. The procedures can run anywhere from $5,000 to $12,000.
Dr. Walden admits she's a rarity in the plastic surgery field. Actually, the field is dominated by men. Of the 8,100 board certified plastic surgeons in the U.S. less than 200 are women. And only 12 are in Texas. That's a pretty daunting figure for women who want to go into plastic surgery.

Guido Pella reacts to clinching 100 ATP wins
by DZEVAD MESIC | VIEW 2549
Argentina's Guido Pella entered the Cincinnati Masters not knowing that he was a win away from clinching 100 ATP wins. Pella, ranked at No. 22 in the world, edged out rising Norwegian star Casper Ruud 7-5 7-6 (4) in his Cincinnati opener.
The 29-year-old Argentine, who is enjoying a career-high ranking on the tour, has now won 32 matches this season. "I knew that I was pretty close to 100 wins, but I didn't count, so this is a big surprise for me," Pella said, as revealed on the ATP website.
"To win more than 30 matches this year is something I didn't expect, so I'm very happy." Pella now awaits the winner of the match between Belgian David Goffin and USA's Taylor Fritz. Pella, who achieved a career-high ranking of No.
21 in the world this year, has a great chance to continue his rankings rise as he doesn't have lots of points to defend in the rest of the season. "I think my mind has been in the right place for the past two seasons.
That's why I've won so many matches," Pella acknowledged. "I like to be in this position, so I want to keep improving my game and my mind".

I had the opportunity to travel to Vietnam for business a couple of years ago. Before coming, I had heard interesting stories about the northern part of the country, which led to a deep interest to discover the region. Aside from that, I was also inspired to make the long journey by my passion for photography.
Travellers always point to Sa Pa as a must when exploring Vietnam. I finally had my chance to experience this amazing region for myself. The Tonkinese Alps were a cultural treasure, home to different hill tribe minorities, lush mountain ranges, rice fields, and overall breathtaking views. Once there, any explorer would understand what the hype is all about.
Sa Pa is the perfect place for hiking. You get to escape the country's more touristic areas and delve into the way local people there live.
Would I go back? Without a doubt, the place changes completely with the passing of each season. It's worth returning to more than once in your life as you will be rewarded by something vividly different each time.
It was very touching for me to see the local people and lovely children all around, always smiling, wearing clothing with beautiful colors and distinctive patterns. I also loved seeing their art, unique to the Lào Cai Province.

Q: How to set primary key on an object that implements RealmModel I have an object that implements RealmModel instead of RealmObject. How do I set a primary key on this? I thought the @PrimaryKey annotation would work but I'm seeing the error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A RealmObject with no @PrimaryKey cannot be updated:
The RealmObject is not a RealmObject. It's a regular object which implements RealmModel, so the error is already confusing.
I'm also not seeing this error in my debug builds. Is there something I need to do with proguard? Your documentation states that proguard config is provided in the library already...

Earnings Don't Matter – NASDAQ 100
tags: (B)(N) There And Done That, Capital Markets, Dow Jones Industrial Companies, Investment Consumers, NASDAQ 100, Risk Aversion, Societal Innovation and Enterprise, The Price of Risk
Essay. In our earlier Post, we showed that "earnings don't matter" on a portfolio basis, where the portfolio domain is the sixty-seven companies of the current Dow NYSE market of the industrials, transports and utilities. One of the conclusions is that we can expect to do well just by owning all of the companies, collecting our dividends, and never bothering with the portfolio except to buy more (or selling some if we need some cash).
Exhibit 1: Dow Industrials Portfolio (PE < 33× Expected Yield > 3%) – What the investors saw
Dow Industrials PE 33x
However, we don't have to own the stocks of all sixty-seven companies; just owning all the stocks of the thirty companies of the Dow Industrials, purchased as an equal number of shares in each, at the market prices, produced a portfolio gain of +100% since early 2009, averaging +4% per quarter (geometric average) plus dividends which will add another +2% to +3% per year to the returns.
Please see Exhibit 1 (Brown lines). Click on the Chart to make it larger if required, and please see our earlier Post for more details on the Q's and A's.
But this is not an argument for owning the Index or an ETF, for example, because when we own the stocks we have more flexibility, that is liquidity, in deciding what to sell at higher prices and what to buy at lower prices, and less exposure to market volatility because not all of the stocks have the same exposure all of the time.
And the "strategy" scales from tens of thousands to tens of billions without a problem. And if we decide to sell something, it's on the basis of taking some profits rather than a PE-ratio.
In contrast, the actively managed "buy low, sell high" portfolio consistently managed with PEs<33 (a temperate +3% yield) produced only +50% (Blue lines) in five years and currently has only ten companies in it and the indicated stop/loss prices could result in a loss of minus (-28%) if the market suddenly swoons again.
Sawing It Off With Buy Low Sell High
Courtesy: Jean-Francois Millet, Artist
On the plus side, however, it did produce an average quarterly yield of +2.2% (geometric mean) which amounts to about +9% per year, but we also had to make 32 buy decisions and 42 sell decisions in the previous five years, based only on PE<33 (buy) and PE>33 (sell), and that the demonstrated yield is so much more than the predicated +3% per year, suggests that the method is irrelevant to the actual returns.
Moreover, the "predicated portfolio" PE<12 (yield>8% per year) that was supposed to produce those results gave us only +0.5% per quarter and +2% per year over five years.
Should we then be surprised that the Contra Policy of "buying high and selling low", so to speak, did the best of all?
Exhibit 2: Dow Industrials Contra Policy (PE >12×, Predicated Yield < 8%)
Dow Industrials PE 12x Contra
This portfolio in the thirty companies of the Dow Industrials uses the rule PE>12 (buy) and PE<12 (sell) which is the exact opposite of "buying low and selling high" and it smoothly returned +65% in five years.
Note especially the smooth, near volatility-free, Total (A) portfolio.
Moreover, the quarterly yield is an average +2.7% and the annual yield is +11% for five years, defying the "predicated yield" of less than 8% per year.
All of these results in the Dow pale beside those of the NASDAQ 100 companies which tend to be in the triple digits over five years, unless we were "buying low and selling high".
The results are summarized in the following charts and the details by clicking here.
Exhibit 3: NASDAQ 100 Portfolio (33× Expected Yield > 3%) – What the investors saw
Nasdaq 100 PE 33x
Our NASDAQ 100 currently has 127 companies in it because we follow some of the foreign equities listed in New York as ADRs, and also some companies that are new to the Nasdaq and have reasonably large capitalizations.
With reference to Exhibit 3 and the Cash Flow Chart in Exhibit 4, below, the passive buy/hold portfolio of 1,000 shares in each company, regardless of price differences, cost $2,709,000 in December 2008 and early 2009, and is currently worth $9,585,000 for a gain of +254% (plus dividends) in five years (Companies line in Exhibit 4).
Exhibit 4: NASDAQ 100 Portfolio (33× Expected Yield > 3%) – Cash Flow
NASDAQ 100 x33 Cash Flow
The actively managed portfolio of "buy low, sell high" with PEs<33 and an anticipated yield of more than 3% per year, bought 110 of those companies for $2,388,000 (leaving a cash balance of $321,000 at that time) and currently holds 75 companies with a current value of $6,590,000 (and cash $61,000) and the portfolio returned +145% in the same five years (Total line, which includes Cash or settles the Margin Account (negative cash)).
"Active management" as companies fell in and out of the PE-grace, required that we also executed 281 buy transactions and 316 sell transactions for a total of 597 transactions in five years among the 127 companies of the market.
If we increased the yield requirements to PE<20 (yield>5%), the performance dropped off to +110% in five years (Exhibit 5).
And for PE<12 (yield>8%), to +65% (Exhibit 6 below) even though the portfolio had more than fifty companies in it most of the time (currently 47 companies) and we executed 248 buy transactions and 308 sell transactions for a total of 556 transactions respecting the rule.
(Please Click on the Charts to make them larger if required.)
And, once again, the Contra Policy (please see Exhibit 7 below) is the most attractive.
In this, we are, basically, buying "high priced" earnings with PEs>12 and a predicated yield of less than 8%, and selling them when the earnings become "cheap" and the PE<12.
The portfolio produced a gain of +140% in five years and the average quarterly gains were +4.7% and +20% per year, every year, on average.
Exhibit 7: NASDAQ 100 Contra Policy (PE >12×, Predicated Yield < 8%)
Nasdaq 100 PE 12x Contra
The moral of this story seems to be that if we're going to buy only "cheap stocks" with low PEs, then we should plan, instead, to buy them all, regardless of the PE, because a PE can be low for reasons that do not support the expectation that the "price of the earnings" (the PE) should increase.
We think that observation applies to both "secular companies" – companies that make and sell things that we use all the time – as well as "cyclical companies" whose earnings wax and wane on a regular and predictable schedule depending, for example, on the demand and supply of commodities.
It hardly seems worthwhile to try to separate the chaff from the grain, so to speak, when buying them all is so straightforward and productive regardless of how much money we have.
On the other hand, if we buy only the "expensive stocks" with PEs>12 and a predicated current yield of less than 8% per year, and sell them when they become "cheap", it supports what we want: good companies at good prices and we are willing to pay them.
And the demonstration is that the prices are likely to get better as long as the earnings keep up and justify our confidence. If the earnings don't keep up, and the PE increases even more, then we should just check our stop/loss, or use some of our profits to buy puts that will protect the price of the rest. A "new" earnings report is going to be "old news" in any case.
Axe Chops Hammer & Saw
We also note that the PE is the "price of earnings per share" (EPS) and if the EPS is the only measure of "risk aversion" that we have, then the PE is the "price of risk" per unit of risk.
For more on what risk averse investing – and the real "price of risk" – has done for us this year, please see our recent Posts on The S&P TSX "Hangdog" Market or The Wall Street Put or specialty markets such as The Dow Transports & Utilities or for the real class action, La Dolce Vita – Let's Do Prada! and It's For You, Dear on the smartphone business.

California Woman Files Mirena Lawsuit After Surgical Removal of IUD
November 25, 2015 By: Dawn Snyder Mirena IUD
Last week, a California woman filed a Mirena IUD lawsuit against Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., its Finnish counterpart Bayer Oy, and their German parent company Bayer Pharma, AG. The November 18, 2015, complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California and alleges that the device caused Heather Mason to suffer serious injuries.
The plaintiff, a resident of Marysville, California, in Yuba County, was implanted with the Mirena intrauterine device (IUD) by her doctor in Virginia. But she suffered device migration, with the IUD becoming embedded in her uterus. She underwent a surgical removal and allegedly still suffers from pain and discomfort related to it. Her lawsuit alleges that the Mirena IUD is defective and unreasonably dangerous and seeks more than $75,000 in damages.
About Mirena
Bayer's Mirena IUD is a long-term contraceptive that the company has billed as a solution for busy moms. It is a T-shaped polyethylene frame with a reservoir holding levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestogen, into the uterus. A doctor must insert the IUD but then it can stay in place for up to five years, without the need for daily doses.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Mirena in December 2000; in the past 15 years, more than 15 million women around the world have used it. According to the package, Mirena should only be used by women who have already had at least one child. The label did not, however, warn women or their doctors of organ damage until 2014.
On May 29, 2014, Bayer updated the Mirena packaging to include a warning about the risk of perforation, explaining that the device may become embedded in the uterus, or even migrate completely through it and into other organs. Before that, the label did not warn about spontaneous migration, only about risk that migration may occur if the uterus is perforated during insertion.
Bayer targeted in Mirena lawsuits
The California lawsuit is the most recent of thousands of product liability lawsuits over Mirena. In addition to cases filed in state courts across the country, there are more than 1,100 Mirena lawsuits pending in a federal multi-district litigation (MDL) in New York. Different from a class-action lawsuit, MDL proceedings provide a quicker and more uniform way for parties to resolve claims by preventing massive duplication of the steps involved in litigation.
MDLs are common in dangerous drug and defective device claims, where hundreds or thousands of plaintiffs raise very similar allegations. In the Mirena MDL, the plaintiffs charge that Bayer has consistently overstated the efficacy of Mirena while understating the potential safety concerns – more specifically, Bayer has allegedly marketed the IUD heavily toward busy moms while failing to disclose the risks of uterine perforation. At the same time, Bayer reportedly failed to disclose the serious risks like susceptibility to infections and possibility of miscarriage if a woman becomes pregnant with the device in place.
The claims involved in the California complaint are similar to those claimed in the MDL. They include allegations of negligence, defective design and manufacturing, failure to warn, misrepresentation, breaches of warranties, and a request for punitive damages.

Blake Shelton corrects Ellen DeGeneres in awkward exchange: 'But you didn't give it to me ...'
Jennifer Kline
AOL.com December 13, 2019
Just weeks after Dakota Johnson pointedly corrected Ellen DeGeneres on her show, Blake Shelton followed suit in a slightly awkward exchange that aired this week.
A few minutes into Shelton's appearance "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," DeGeneres segued into the topic of his four-year relationship with Gwen Stefani: "Let's talk about Gwen," she said as Shelton chuckled. "Now, I gave you a clock. Remember that clock? To remind you that time is ticking."
DeGeneres was referring to Shelton's May 2019 appearance on the show, during which she gifted him a custom wall clock featuring a big close-up photo of the couple sharing a kiss. At the time, she explained that she'd recently given an identical gift to Jennifer Lopez, and "literally like a week later, [Alex Rodriguez] proposed to her," DeGeneres said, showcasing an image of J.Lo holding her clock before handing Shelton one of his own.
This time around, however, Shelton had counter-argument on deck: "But you didn't give it to me!" he replied. "I walked backstage and somebody back there was like, 'Hey, thanks for being on the show. Can I have that?' And they took it."
DeGeneres appeared caught off-guard: "Well, that's not right," she said before briefly addressing her staff. "We can't — why do we need it?"
"You took it back because whoever your next guest was, you replaced the picture and did the same crap to them and embarrassed them," Shelton said.
DeGeneres replied, "You know what, you're right, because we did that to Jennifer Lopez and now she's engaged!"
Shelton, possibly forgetting that he'd been shown Lopez's clock before receiving his own back in May, laughed and said, "You gave her my clock!"
"Uh-huh, and now she's engaged!" DeGeneres said.
Toward the end of the interview, Shelton brought up the topic again, joking of another item, "I won't take it back from you like you did the clock."
Again looking off-camera, a seemingly agitated DeGeneres asked, "Why don't we —" before saying to Shelton, "I don't know why you don't have it." She then added, "We spend money making it, we give it to him."
While moments of the exchange felt a bit strained, it was nowhere near the awkwardness of DeGeneres' terse conversation with Dakota Johnson in late November: The host asked Johnson why she hadn't been invited to her recent birthday party, prompting a candid reaction.
"Actually no, that's not the truth, Ellen. You were invited," Johnson replied slowly. "Last time I was on the show last year, you gave me a bunch of s--t about not inviting you ... I didn't even know you liked me."
After DeGeneres pressed her on it — "Are you sure?" — Johnson firmly responded, "Ask everybody. Ask Jonathan, your producer."
Ironically enough, DeGeneres might have been better off going to the birthday party: It was the same October weekend she spent at a football game next to President George W. Bush, which quickly elicited major controversy.

Musical Madness Results!
With sixteen entries from across the classes, there was stiff competition in the Second Annual Musical Madness at Crowell Concert Hall on Thursday, February 18. It was an amazing evening and showcased the awesome musical talent of Wesleyan students. Everyone was well-received to much applause and lots of woo-woos. Many thanks to all who performed, and we hope you will participate again next year!
Best in Show went to senior Lu Yang whose performance of Mauro Guiliani's Gran Sonata Eroica classical guitar piece blew everyone away. His mastery of technique and nuance absorbed the audience from his first to last note.
It was difficult for the judges to make these final choices, but they had to do it. Best in Class went to:
Class of 2013: Thelonius Funk: Julian Applebaum, Adam Brudnick Adam Jaskol, Audrey Kiely, Greg Shaheen and Zach Sulsky, for their original, "Other Side of the Looking Glass," a jazzy and sultry invitation to that side, with lead vocalist Audrey Kiely out in front.
Class of 2012: Men with Bad Manners: Benjamin Kaufman, Jeremy Keim-Shenk, Immanuel Lokwei, Howe Pearson, Abaye Seinmetz-Silber, for their original "Natty on the Road." Their rub-a-dub reggae rhythms got the crowd bobbing and waving to the beat.
Class of 2011: Henry Kiely, for his original, "Ragged Army." Kiely merged his sweet acoustic guitar with yearning lyrics for a performance that highlighted his musicality, and vocal and technical abilities.
Class of 2010: The Senior Moments: Jesse Bordwin, Justin Bours, Sam Friedman, Leah Lucid, Ariela Rotenberg, Hansel Tan and Elizabeth Trammell, for their joyous performance of "Hear My Song" (Jason Robert Brown). The tight harmonies and excellent piano were the icing to the fun they were having together on stage.
Walking away with one of two Judges' Choice was DJ Swanrape aka Harry Ezratty '13 for his original mixing of a wild "Mingus and Zappa" interpretation. The other Judges' Choice went to Max Baum '11 for the nuanced rendition of C,S,N&Y's "Teach Your Children," which brought home why this classic has persevered.
Many thanks to the judges, Prof. Jay Hoggard, Prof. Mary-Jane Rubenstein, and Max Gardner '10, who had a lot of tough choices to make, and many thanks again to all who entered Musical Madness. You rocked!
We hope to get videos up on the class blogs later this week.

What Is Reddit Good For?
Reddit: A Discussion Board for General Public Interests
The Giant Beast
A New Technique for Detecting User Dislike Comments
Hot and Rising: Where the conversation is
The Best Add-on for the Internet
Gold Awards
The policy of the quasar
If you are looking for news, debate, answers or just fun about anything you can image, you should go to the discussion board on the internet called the Reddit. The forums on the site are mostly for registered users to talk about anything from news to pop culture, to technology, to comics, to film, to literature, to the weird things in the world. There is a search field at the top of the page.
You will find it if you enter any topic you want. You need to register and use the topic in your settings if you are looking for a topic. They can comment on other people's submissions by clicking on the open comment field.
You can reply to people's comments by clicking reply. The default tab is "Hot", which is a view of submissions with the highest scores over a period of time, if you are not registered. The score is determined by subtracting the votes from the others.
Reddiquette says that you should be a civilized person and remember that there is always a human at the other side of the screen. No self-promotion or spam is allowed. You will be fine if you just be respectful of others and be aware of what you do.
You lose points on your global karma if someone votes negatively to one of your posts. You shouldn't worry about that. The purpose of the site is not to accumulate karma points but to learn, have fun, waste time or add to the conversation in a funny way.
The platform combines web content, social news, a forum, and a social network into one giant beast. Content can be contributed by registered members with images, text, videos, and links. The site can be voted on by other members.
Users can give awards to other users for liking posts. You can buy Reddit Coins to support the community by giving an award.
Subreddits are themed boards for specific posts, each with a laser-sharp focus. You can get a collection of content directly from the subreddits you subscribe to, on your Reddit homepage. Users can argue or talk about the subject in the comment section of each link.
Downvotes still matter in the rankings, but Hot and Rising show you where the conversation is. The posts that are getting lots of activity are shown in controversial. If a post is consistently upvoted and downvoted, it will find a home in Controversial.
It is always good to socialize with people who are similar to you. People that can relate to your obsession, hold a decent conversation about it, and understand your obsession. The ideal environment is the internet community of Reddit.
The right-hand side of the main page of the website is where you should look. There is a sign-in box and a search box above it. A sign-up link is above the search box.
You have to choose your favorite ones. Everyone gets to see some of the default subreddits when you are not in the room. You can remove the default subreddits and instead personalize your feed with what you want to see by becoming a registered account.
It costs less to maintain a customer than to acquire one. Improving customer service can help keep customers happy and will help you retain customers. It is worse to find out the final score of a football game before you can watch it.
Someone can easily ruin the ending of a Game of Throne episode on the internet. Creating a community on any platform takes a lot of time and hard work. If you have a product or brand that thrives on interacting with people, you should use the site.
If you receive a silver award, you only get the icon. If you receive a gold award, you will get a week of premium and 100 coins to give someone silver. If you receive a Platinum award, you will get a month of premium and 700 coins to give to people with silver or gold.
The easiest way to get gilded is to be active on the internet. Most of the content that gets awards is already highly upvoted and has a lot of responses. A useful guide for beginners is often gilded.
The first person to post a breaking story is often awarded. You need to acquire Reddit coins to give an award. You can get them by buying them, being awarded gold or Platinum, or by paying for the premium on the website.

Would you recommend Curb to a friend?
I used to use this when it was "Taxi Magic" and in the years before Uber. Then it was the best way to schedule or hail a taxi. I think it still has utility in a post-Uber world when you want to schedule a pick-up. But otherwise, ridesharing is on-demand, cheaper, and a better experience.
This is just Taxi Magic's rebrand, right?
@maiab Yup. Rebrand and app update.

Death Grips - Come Up And Get Me
12 minute short film...
Death Grips may be out of view, but that doesn't mean the Sacramento collective aren't planning their next step.
Currently operating without a label following their split with Epic, Death Grips uploaded a new video over the weekend. Last year the band assembled 'NO LOVE DEEP WEB' during a two month stint in Chateau Marmont, and it seems that Death Grips focussed on visual output as well as their music.
The opening track on their second album, 'Come Up And Get Me' has been matched to a lengthy black and white promo. Largely silent, the strikingly shot clip was directed by Zach Hill and Stefan Burnett themselves. Puzzling, abstract and ultimately engrossing the video opens with nine minutes of silence before 'Come Up And Get Me' comes roaring out of the speakers.
Watch it now.
Death Grips took part in a Clash cover feature last year - click HERE for a web edit.

Just into our shop is another incredibly resonate and lively Collings I-35! This one is an LC Deluxe, which means it has laminate back and sides, but has deluxe appointments like Ivoroid knobs and pickup rings. It also has one of the best Iced Tea Sunburst finishes that we've ever seen. The low-wind Lollar Imperial pickups are a perfect match for this guitar - they're smooth, clear, and very well balanced. The guitar is set up perfectly, as every guitar from Collings is. Don't miss out on this one!


Magic Chic is a family of three different products—bath gel, body milk, and cologne—targeted at young people. The brief called for something different from what is on the market: something less conventional, more fun; something that was not romantic, which did not talk about the ingredients or the benefits of the product. It had to be something direct, very immediate. This is what we strove to convey with a simple emphatic 2D design in contrast with the bottle we created, which is soft, friendly, with an unusual shape and a highly functional cap—something uncommon in this type of product.


Keystone Fund grants have supported over 3,700 community park projects, including ball fields, green spaces, playgrounds, pools, and recreation centers.
The Keystone Fund has helped to preserve more than 161,000 acres of open space for people and wildlife.
The Keystone Fund was created in 1993 with overwhelming support in the Pennsylvania legislature. In November 1993, 67% of Pennsylvanians voted to supplement the Keystone Fund's permanent funding stream with $50 million in bond revenues.
The Keystone Fund helps communities help themselves. Each dollar in Keystone Fund grants typically leverages $3.13 in direct local investments in our parks, trails, community green spaces, and libraries.
Blue Mountain stretches from northern New Jersey down through 11 Pennsylvania counties to the Maryland state line. Rain and snow on the mountain drain into 1,597 sources of public drinking water and the mountain's forests provide some of the best wildlife habitat in the state and are home to 160 miles of the Appalachian Trail. An alliance of sportsmen, conservation groups, businesses, landowners, and government and tourism agencies are working to conserve it, piece by piece. But most of it remains unprotected.
A Keystone grant to purchase 33 acres of Montandon Marsh began the work to preserve and protect what is a one of the few remaining diverse riparian wetlands ecosystems in central Pennsylvania. The work includes collaborating with a sand and gravel miner in the marsh to protect the marsh so future generations can enjoy it. Education, outreach, and protection the marsh are a vital part of the ongoing effort to preserve Montandon, which offers refuge for migrating waterfowl and critical habitat for wetlands birds.

Tre Burt
The Prince Albert, Brighton

"Caught It From The Rye" Tré Burt's debut album, was re-released on the label January 31, 2020. The album showcases Burt's literary songwriting and lo-fi, rootsy aesthetic, which he honed busking on the streets of San Francisco and traveling the world in search of inspiration.

Caught It From the Rye is an urgent missive from an important new voice in songwriting. Tre's most recent single,(Sept. 2020) Under the Devil's knee features Our Native Daughter's Leyla McCalla and Allison Russell and L.A. songwriter Sunny War.

Korean startup NAMU Inc. (all in caps, no one will ever know why) has won the main prize at the first TRANS startup awards in Taiwan.
Hosted by the YongLin Healthcare Foundation and H. Spectrum, NAMU – which is known for its work in correcting poor posture – won the main prize for its wearable device, Alex.
As a device for health, Alex tracks and corrects cervical posture. Alex reminds users to maintain the optimum position for their spine at all times, preventing later problems concerning back pain and other issues.
Worldwide, the annual cost of treatment for patients with low back pain (LBP) is a major blow to the global economy. In the United States alone, patients with musculoskeletal conditions incur total annual medical care costs of approximately $240bn, of which $77bn is related to musculoskeletal conditions.
H. Spectrum is Taiwan's first startup forum which focuses on the fields of health and medical care. Supported by the YongLin Healthcare Foundation, H. Spectrum hopes to find young entrepreneurs in bio-medical fields and foster their cross-disciplinary talent and innovation.
As the inaugural TRANS conference, 2016 saw 40 groups of medical startups participate in the Taiwanese competition from all over the world. NAMU Inc. claimed the top prize after two days of competition.


So here we are, almost a month after the event. My sentiments are now more nuanced and tempered, and much less effusive than the day (or the week) after the show. I would still give the concert a 10/10 rating, though – from stage design, production management, all the way to showmanship, there really is very little to criticize about the whole experience.
Let me just say that I am not your regular concert-goer or music festival attendee. My evening started with an exclusive interview of the brothers, Joel and Luke Smallbone. I missed most of the other acts in the festival – a consequence of being backstage for SAVED Radio DJ duties. (I really can't complain since I got to get some airtime with the top-billed artists before anyone else saw them onstage.) But a quiet moment with Joel and Luke didn't prepare me for the show that was about to happen an hour later.
Most concerts are first about showmanship and performance art, and then musicality second (sadly). Burn the Ships, however, was all three in equal measure.
I do not have extensive musical training or event production experience. But that night is what I consider one of the best put-together shows by one of the most musically-gifted groups I've seen.
The stage setup was interesting, to say the least. It had platforms of varying heights, for instruments and musicians. The stage manager described it best – it was a playground for the band. There were two drum kits, one tympanum, one bass drum, another tom (or perhaps a different kind of drum, I really would not know), chimes, two cellos, a keyboard, an electric guitar, a bass guitar… and sometime within the show, a trumpet and a trombone made an appearance. That's aside from the snare drum that Luke often wears, and the marimba that had to be brought out towards the end.
Very early in the show, Joel and Luke decided to get off stage walk amongst the crowd. They sang on the way to the platform set in the middle of the concert grounds, where their cellists were waiting. You can imagine the mini-mayhem that ensued as fans crowded close to the brothers. (Of course, I just hung back since I already shook their hands two hours earlier.) They have a way of connecting with the audience that doesn't always happen with musicians. They're the type of guys who are so down-to-earth, you wouldn't think they were recording artists. It's no wonder they can get the audience to sing and dance along with them, even if some haven't heard of them before.
Between the two brothers, I would say Joel is the natural performer. (Take a look at my videos and photos if you don't believe me.) He's the flash of lightning, while Luke is the rumbling thunder. It's a combination that works for them. The rest of the band are equally good performers and of course, talented musicians.
The band was pretty calm during this portion of "Run Wild".
Joel climbing trusses at the opening verse of "Shoulders".
What I especially appreciated about this concert is the aural experience. With the ridiculous number of instruments being played, you can't help but be in awe of the sound that meets your ears. The music is rich and textured, so unlike many of the pop anthems that we hear nowadays. It has a bit of an experimental feel to it, too. Throw in a cello here, try a marimba there, and let's put two snare drums to shake things up a bit.
The layering of sounds doesn't end with the instruments. The vocals also stand out. (Yes, the band members also sing back-up. Whuuuut?!) Hearing the music is one thing, but when you actually see it being put together before your very eyes – something magical happens.
Thank you, Joel, Luke, and for King & Country. It was unforgettable.

Java founder derides Oracle's lawsuit against Google
James Gosling says the spat between Oracle and Google is really about ego, money, and power
By Paul Krill
Java founder James Gosling has weighed in on Oracle's lawsuit against Google over Android's use of Java, saying the unsurprising litigation was about ego, money, and power.
In separate blog posts during the past week, noted Oracle "finally" filed a lawsuit against Google. Oracle filed a lawsuit in federal court last week last week alleging Google with the Android mobile phone platform infringed Oracle's intellectual property pertaining to Java. Google has vowed to fight the lawsuit.
"Not a big surprise," said Gosling, who was a longtime Sun engineer before briefly working at Oracle following the January merger between the two companies. Gosling has been called the father of Java.
Gosling stressed he was not necessarily supporting Oracle's lawsuit but stressed there were no "guiltless parties with white hats in this little drama."
"This skirmish isn't much about patents or principles or programming languages. The suit is far more about ego, money, and power," said Gosling.
"During the integration meetings between Sun and Oracle where we were being grilled about the patent situation between Sun and Google, we could see the Oracle lawyer's eyes sparkle. Filing patent suits was never in Sun's genetic code," Gosling said. Only one of his personal patents was involved in the litigation, he said. That patent pertains to a method and apparatus for resolving data differences in generated code.
Sun had objected to Google's "weak notions of interoperability" when it came to mobile phones, Gosling said.
Gosling also recalled that Sun took Microsoft to court over a lack of interoperability pertaining to Microsoft's Java development efforts.

Our Daily Bread Devotional 14 November 2022 for today
The Topic of Our Daily Bread Devotional 14 November 2022 Monday is " The Love of God"
Bible in a Year: Lamentations 3–5 Hebrews 10:19–39
Key Verse: Great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 57:10
Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 57
The scribal heading to this psalm connects the prayer with David's experience hiding from Saul in a cave, something that happened two different times—first in the cave of Adullam (1 Samuel 22:1–2) and later in a cave in the desert of En Gedi (24:1–13). The dominant tone of Psalm 57 is one of deep trust, even though it's set in a context of great danger (v. 6). This trust is rooted in the psalmist's belief in the power of "God Most High" (v. 2). The title "God Most High" points to God's glory and rule over all the nations and peoples of the world (47:2). Being anchored in His glory and confident that He'll act (57:3) allows the psalmist to find refuge in Him and to even rejoice in the midst of danger (vv. 7–8).

ODB MESSAGE FOR TODAY
In 1917, Frederick Lehman, a California businessman beset by financial setbacks, wrote the lyrics to the hymn, "The Love of God." His inspiration led him quickly to pen the first two stanzas, but he got stuck on the third. He recalled a poem that had been discovered years earlier, written on the walls of a prison. A prisoner had scratched it there into the stone, expressing a deep awareness of God's love. The poem happened to be in the same meter as Lehman's hymn. He made it his third stanza.
There are times when we face difficult setbacks as did Lehman and the poet in the prison cell. In times of despair, we do well to echo the psalmist David's words and "take refuge in the shadow of [God's] wings" (Psalm 57:1). It's okay to "cry out to God" with our troubles (v. 2), to speak to Him of our current ordeal and the fears we have when "in the midst of lions" (v. 4). We're soon reminded of the reality of God's provision in times past, and join David who says, "I will sing and make music. . . . I will awaken the dawn" (vv. 7–8).
"The love of God is greater far," this hymn proclaims, adding "it goes beyond the highest star." It's precisely in our time of greatest need when we're to embrace how great God's love really is—indeed "reaching to the heavens" (v. 10).
Reflect & Pray
What are the difficulties you face today? How has God provided for you in times past?
Loving God, I am facing difficult matters, but I am reminded of Your love for me and Your provision throughout my life. Thank You.

America's first trans state senator was just sworn in & the ceremony was beautiful
Posted: 2021-01-13 10:00:16 (see more from www.lgbtqnation.com)
Delaware Sen. Sarah McBride (D)Photo: Campaign website
The country's first transgender state senator was just sworn into office, making her the highest-ranking transgender elected official in U.S. history.
"I'll take my oath today on my childhood bible, given to me when I was 8 at Westminster Presbyterian Church, where I still attend today," said Delaware Sen. Sarah McBride (D) in a tweet. "You get to pick whatever you'd like to swear in on and this is what I've chosen!"
Related: Trans state senator Sarah McBride's stunning clapback shut down a Twitter troll immediately
In a tweet thread, McBride described the socially-distanced swearing-in ceremony held outside Wilmington's Claymont Community Center.
She wrote that she was sworn in wearing her wedding ring. Her husband passed away in 2014 due to cancer.
"Like every day, I'm wearing my wedding ring," she wrote. "When I swear in with my left hand on the bible, it will be like Andy is right there with me. I know he is proud of me."
McBride was joined by two young transgender advocates.
